Chapter 390 It Cares!

The amiable monk in front of you is the leader of the Western religion.

He is also the future Buddha of Buddhism, called Namo, Amitabha.

This was the second time Li Qing met him.

But the first time I saw him, he was just a projection of my consciousness, but now, he is his real body.

For this kind of Buddha, he is a saint who single-handedly founded Buddhism, which is on par with Taoism.

Even if Li Qing didn't like it, he would still have some respect for it.

So he nodded slightly, raised his hand to return the greeting, and said with a faint smile: "I am honored to meet the Grand Master of the Western Sect."

Then he looked at the novice monks again.

Well, each of them became a famous Buddha in later generations.

The first is Sakyamuni, followed by Jin Chanzi, then Medicine King, Liuliguang King, Maitreya King, Ksitigarbha King, and so on.

However, these great Buddhas of later generations are still not well-known today.

Li Qing looked at Jin Chanzi intently.

This creature is an extremely rare insect among innate creatures. It is called the six-winged golden cicada. It is extremely yang, strong, and poisonous.

Originally, after Amitabha Buddha abdicated and retired to the great Dao, he and Sakyamuni were both strong contenders for the title of Buddha.

After all, one is the eldest disciple and the other is the second disciple.

But he had very bad luck. At the last moment, he realized the fork in Buddhism and went to the extreme.

Instead, he found a path that was completely opposite to Buddhism.

Therefore, the throne of the Buddha of the Western Religion was passed to Sakyamuni.

Then Amitabha Buddha wanted him to meditate carefully and attain enlightenment again, so that he could inherit the position of Buddha after Sakyamuni abdicated in the future.

Unfortunately, without the suppression of Amitabha Buddha, the tyranny in his bones was driven by jealousy and eventually exploded.

In the end, he refuted the Buddhist teachings of Sakyamuni in front of countless Buddhist disciples and monks.

Shakyamuni was furious, and in the name of teaching a lesson on behalf of his teacher, he ruthlessly beat the second disciple of Amitabha Buddha and broke his true body.

Only a trace of soul was left, and it was reincarnated in a confused state.

This battle also completely established the absolute authority of Sakyamuni, and from then on no one cared about his position as the Buddha.

Seeing that the Human Emperor kept looking at him, Jin Chanzi was a little surprised for a moment. His handsome face was also looking at the Human Emperor, with an attitude of "you look at me, I look at you, to see who can look better than the other."

Li Qing smiled immediately, then retracted his gaze and said to Jie Yin, "Master, you possess the power of the Great Primordial Dao, so you should know why I'm here. I won't go in. I'd like to ask you here, Master, if you can leave the Pure Land of Bliss and go to Sishui Pass to take charge? If Yuanshi doesn't move, you should move. If Yuanshi shamelessly attacks and bullies the weak, you can intervene. How do you think?"

The smile on Jie Yin's face suddenly froze.

He had been planning to invite the Human Emperor to sit in the center of the Western Paradise, but he had not expected that the Human Emperor would be so straightforward and make things clear right away.

For a moment, Jie Yin didn't know how to answer!

Li Qing looked at Jie Yin with a calm expression, waiting for his thoughts.

Zhunti was standing by, also with a raised brow.

Brother, can I finally leave the Pure Land? If I do, how much of an impact will it have on me?

If the impact is too great, then it is better not to participate in this human catastrophe. After all, one's own Hunyuan Wuji Dao is the most important.

Jie Yin stood there, pondering for a moment, then sighed softly, "Your Majesty, you may not know that upon seeing the lotus, I suddenly realized the great Dao. I've already explained this Dao to Your Majesty before, so I won't elaborate further this time. But does Your Majesty know how many living beings there are in this vast world?"

Li Qing said calmly: "How many?"

Jie Yin sighed, "There are so many of them that it is endless."

After saying this, Jie Yin shook his head and said, “There are so many living beings. Even though I have never given up the Dao in my heart, I can’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

"Oh."

It was Li Qing who suddenly sneered.

This sneer made Zhunti raise his eyebrows and anger appeared in his eyes.

It would be fine if the Human Emperor was disrespectful to him, but if he was so rude to his elder brother as well, then he really couldn't tolerate it!

The other Buddhist disciples also looked at Li Qing with displeasure. His sneer was so inappropriate!

Only Jie Yin had a calm expression, even a hint of sadness. He looked at Li Qing and whispered, "Human Emperor, why are you laughing? Are the words from this humble monk so funny?"

Li Qing looked at Jie Yin and said calmly, "I'm not laughing at your heartfelt words, but I'm laughing at you for being too cautious and indecisive!"

"Hesitating? Indecisive? Is the Human Emperor mocking me for deceiving myself?"

Jie Yin sighed softly and said, "It's not that I am deceiving myself, but it is due to the Dao in my heart. I can only build the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to achieve perfection. Otherwise, the Dao will collapse sooner or later."

Li Qing said calmly, "Don't overthink it. I'm just saying you're indecisive! You've made a great vow to save all living beings in the world. This is the supreme path, perfect and boundless. Why are you worried about the collapse of your Dao? Isn't this a contradiction?"

"Your Majesty, why?"

Jie Yin frowned slightly and asked softly.

Li Qing looked at Jie Yin and said slowly, "Just listen to me and I'll tell you a story."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Jie Yin looked at Li Qing with anticipation. What kind of story could this Human Emperor tell him?

"I once traveled to the East China Sea and admired the scenery on its coast."

Li Qing put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "That day, when the sea water receded, many small fish and shrimps were left on the coast. They struggled and twisted in the puddles and pits. As for the fate of these small fish and shrimps, I believe that the leader should know the result without me saying it."

"Why."

Upon hearing this, Jie Yin sighed and said, "When the seawater evaporates, those fish and shrimp that haven't returned to the sea with the waves will surely die."

Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes, this is a common occurrence. Countless people die on the coast every day. It's normal."

"What does your Majesty mean?"

Jie Yin didn't understand.

Li Qing continued, "But that day, I saw a child who had lived in a seaside fishing village. He walked along the beach and whenever he saw a puddle, he would throw the trapped fish and shrimp back into the sea."

"This child has great kindness."

Jie Yin nodded repeatedly after listening and exclaimed in admiration.

Li Qing said calmly, "When I saw this, I stepped forward and asked in confusion, 'Child, what's the point of you doing this? There are countless stranded fish and shrimp on this endless beach, waiting to die. Who would care if you do this?'"

Jie Yin sighed when he heard this, and the sadness on his face became more and more obvious.

All living beings are suffering, how can he save them all?

Li Qing looked at Jie Yin and said, "Guess what that child said to me?"

Jie Yin looked at Li Qing, his eyes full of curiosity.

Li Qing put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "The child ignored me and continued searching the puddles one by one, throwing small fish and shrimp into the sea, while happily shouting, 'It cares, it cares, it cares too, it cares too!'"
