Wu Er had originally intended to give his apprentice a lesson, but suddenly received a telepathic message from Xiao Mingmu.
Xiao Mingmu said that another guest had arrived, and a rare one at that, hoping to see Wu Er.
I wouldn't normally want to get involved in this kind of thing, since there are plenty of people like that.
People from various minor sects came to Pengshan Gate to present gifts, all saying they wanted to meet Wu Er.
Although Wu Er was free, he disliked such boring things, so he usually refused.
But this time, the sect that came to pay their respects was not a small sect, but a truly powerful sect.
Moreover, he wasn't even one of the Three Immortals; he was a Buddhist visitor who had virtually no presence in the cultivation world.
Since such a rare guest was someone Wu Er had considered, he decided to meet him.
After all, no one visits the temple without a reason. Buddhist disciples rarely leave the Western Regions, so their visit to Pengshan Temple must be for some important matter.
Moreover, compared to other immortals and demon saints, the Western Region Buddhist sect has been quite good to the Pengshan sect. Although there have been some frictions in the past, the relationship is not as tense as that of the other sects.
The place where they met this Buddhist envoy was naturally the Tian Shu Hall.
Wu Er landed in front of the Tian Shu Hall and then walked into the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Xiao Mingmu sitting and talking with someone.
The man was an old monk with a few ordination scars on his bald head. He wore a pale yellow monk's robe and a plain-colored kasaya draped over it.
The monk Zhang's appearance was pleasing to the eye; he had a square face and long, white eyebrows, giving him a kind and benevolent look.
As soon as Wu Er entered the hall, Xiao Mingmu noticed him and stood up, saying, "Senior Brother has arrived."
The kind-faced old monk also stood up, and upon seeing Wu Er, he put his hands together and said, "Immortal Wu, this humble monk greets you."
Seeing that he was indeed a Buddhist monk, Wu Er adopted the demeanor of a sect leader and greeted the old monk with "Greetings."
After saying this, Wu Er continued walking and came to the main seat in the center of the Tian Shu Hall, and then said, "Please sit down."
"Thank you, immortal."
Wu Er, Xiao Mingmu, and the old monk all took their seats.
The seating arrangement was also carefully chosen: Wu Er sat in the main seat, while Xiao Mingmu and the old monk sat in the secondary seats.
Their status is immediately apparent.
Although Wu Er finds such formalities annoying, he is usually quite casual about them, but when meeting outsiders, he still has to put them on.
Once everyone was seated, we started talking about business.
As the host, Wu Er naturally asked first, "What is the master's Dharma name?"
The old monk put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, my Buddhist name is Huijing."
Huijing... that's a fairly common Buddhist name.
However, since it starts with "Hui," it naturally belongs to the "Hui" generation. The Great Buddha also belongs to the "Hui" generation, so this should be a contemporary of the Great Buddha.
Since they sent someone of the same generation, it shows respect and also indicates that they must have some important matters to discuss.
Having received the Buddhist name from the person, Wu Er exchanged a few more polite words.
Huijing naturally showed her support, and Xiao Mingmu also smiled and said a few words.
Now that we've covered the pleasantries and politeness, it's time to get down to business.
Wu Er spoke first: "Master Huijing, what brings you here in person?"
With that, Huijing knew it was time to get down to business, so she put her hands together and said slowly and carefully, "My great Buddha has something to discuss with the immortal in the Western Regions."
A giant Buddha statue? The Western Regions? An in-person meeting?
After thinking for a moment, Wu Er asked, "What is it about? Why must we talk in person?"
Huijing replied, "This humble monk does not know; the Great Buddha only said it was an important matter."
Upon hearing this, Wu Er fell silent and sat quietly in his seat.
Xiao Ming, who had been mostly silent, glanced at the two of them and narrowed his eyes.
"Amitabha." Na Huijing continued, "As you know, my great Buddha resides in the Western Regions, and there is another demon saint in the Western Regions, so he cannot come in person. Therefore, I asked this humble monk to invite you. If there is any impoliteness in the process, please forgive me."
Since they're talking like that, it seems this is no small matter.
Wu Er tilted his head and asked Xiao Mingmu, "Mingmu, what do you think of this matter?"
As the most laid-back immortal, Wu Er is indeed not very proficient in a set of things. Although he understands the general idea of the advantages and disadvantages, he doesn't really understand them.
Fortunately, Xiao Mingmu understood this, so when Wu Er encountered a problem, he passed it on to his junior brother.
Xiao Mingmu simply said four words: "It has nothing to do with interests."
If it's not about personal gain or loss, then it means it's fine to go or not to go...
After thinking for a while, Wu Er said, "Since the Buddha wishes to see me, then I will meet him."
"Amitabha, thank you, immortal."
Huijing thanked him, then hurriedly stood up and said, "Although there is no rush, I would like to ask the immortal to meet the Buddha as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, I would like to ask the immortal to go to the Western Regions with me now."
Wu Er glanced at his second senior brother again, while Xiao Mingmu nodded slightly.
"Then please lead the way, Master Huijing."
After saying that, Wu Er stood up, seemingly deciding to head to the Western Regions now.
Xiao Mingmu also stood up and cupped his hands to Wu Er, saying, "Senior brother, have a safe journey. Thank you for keeping an eye on humans and demons."
The word "note" was emphasized slightly, suggesting that something was being conveyed.
But Wu Er, being so careless, couldn't possibly hear it.
Then, Wu Er and Hui Jing got up and flew towards the Western Regions.
Along the way, Wu Er felt bored and also wanted to know why the Buddha wanted to see him, so he chatted with Hui Jing for a while.
Every time Huijing asked the Buddha what he wanted to see Wu Er about, she would either say she didn't know or remain silent, offering little information in her words.
