"See, isn't this taking things seriously?"
With a mocking smile on his face, Gu Xuan looked at the silent Vairocana Buddha and said, "Master, what I said just now was just a little joke."
After saying that, he suddenly grinned and laughed.
At the same time, he reached out a hand and gently patted Vairocana Buddha's shoulder.
However, is it really a joke?
That depends on how Vairocana Buddha interprets these words.
In fact, Gu Xuan had his own plans. His actions were also intended to test this Vairocana Buddha.
If Vairocana Buddha could truly do as he said and obediently deliver the heads of Cundi and Amitabha to him...
That would be the best thing ever.
But if he can't do that, it won't be a big problem for Gu Xuan.
After all, he never intended to have too much entanglement with Western religions from the beginning.
Recalling when the Church of Stability was founded, the Western Church actually sent their Grand Protector to demonstrate and provoke them.
Not only that, but later even the two vice leaders of the Western Sect—Zhunti and Jieyin—personally set up an ambush to plot against him.
Given Gu Xuan's fiery temper.
They probably would have already stormed up Mount Ling and started a massacre.
Of course, he has always kept this score in mind and will never let it go easily.
However, the time is not yet ripe.
There's no need to rush into dealing with Western religions.
It would be better to be patient for now and wait until the third great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods arrives before making any further plans.
Isn't the Western Religion trying to take advantage of the Third Investiture of the Gods, the decline of Taoism, and the rise of the Heavenly Court to greatly expand the influence of Zen Buddhism in the Primordial Immortal Realm?
Hey, Western religions are overthinking it!
As long as Gu Xuan is here, the Western Sect will never be able to stir up any trouble in the Primordial Immortal Realm.
“Amitabha, it was this humble monk who was attached to appearances.”
Vairocana Buddha regained his senses and uttered a Buddhist chant.
He naturally didn't believe Gu Xuan was joking with him. They were all ancient foxes, why would they play these ghost stories?
"I've accepted the gifts. As for whether this is the end of it..."
Gu Xuan's smile suddenly vanished. He reached out his left hand, hooked it around the shoulder of Vairocana Buddha, and whispered meaningfully in his ear, "I can't give you a definite answer. I can only say that for now, I will not make things difficult for your Western religion."
Upon hearing this...
A subtle glint flashed in Vairocana Buddha's eyes, and then he said, "Then thank you very much, Master Gu. You are too kind to hold a grudge against me."
"However, this humble monk would like to offer a word of advice to Master Gu: the inheritance of the future Buddha is not so easy to obtain. When the inheritance of the future Buddha appears, the Zen sect will definitely send someone to investigate."
"I have other matters to attend to at the sect, so I must take my leave. Sect Leader Gu, we shall meet again."
After saying this, Vairocana Buddha performed another Buddhist salute.
Without saying a word, he sat on the Twelve Merit Golden Lotus, tore open space, and took his leave.
Gu Xuan squinted as he watched the departing Vairocana Buddha.
A cold smile curled at his lips.
Is that damn bald monk threatening me?!
unfortunately!
Gu Xuan is least afraid of threats!
He has five more chances to erase karma, so why would he be afraid of so-called Zen Buddhism?
Pshaw, don't you understand the true value of his system?!
Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader arrived beside Gu Xuan, glanced at the spot where the Vairocana Buddha had disappeared, and said, "The Vairocana Buddha is one of the many incarnations of the Great Sun Tathagata of the Zen sect, and his strength is not among the strongest."
"If the Zen sect really sends someone there, you should be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing the words of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Gu Xuan withdrew his gaze, a smile appearing on his face. "Thank you for the reminder, Sect Leader. But even if the Zen Sect sends people, I am not afraid. The item is in my hands. Let them come and take it if they dare!"
"If you're incompetent, get the hell out of my sight."
"Hahaha, you're just my type, kid. That's right, what's there to be afraid of!"
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily. The more he looked at Gu Xuan, the more pleasing he became. He lightly punched Gu Xuan and said, "Put it down. I will definitely support you when the time comes. If you want to touch someone that Tongtian has taken a liking to, don't worry about this damn Zen sect!"
"The Primordial Immortal Realm is my territory. If it's a dragon, it should coil up for me!"
"Then I thank you for your kind offer, Master!"
"We're all family, no need to be so polite."
The Tongtian Sect Leader waved his hand casually, then put his arm around Gu Xuan's shoulder, revealing a knowing smile that all men understand, and whispered in his ear, "Speaking of which, when will you and the Golden Spirit Mother become partners? I'll come to your wedding banquet then."
"Master, you're teasing me. My relationship with the Holy Mother Jinling is just that of friends."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan quickly waved his hand and explained with a wry smile.
Golden Spirit Mother, that clingy little devil and tigress.
He's someone you can't afford to offend!
The Tongtian Sect Leader didn't believe it, thinking that Gu Xuan was just thin-skinned.
"Pretend it, give it to me, I'll pretend it!"
"Master, I really wasn't pretending!"
Gu Xuan shrugged, a look of helplessness on his face.
We just don't believe it!
It's clearly your Holy Mother Jinling who's been clinging to me like a leech every day, okay?
........
Meanwhile, above the ruins of Lanruo Temple on the other side.
The Golden Spirit Mother, the Three Immortals (Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao), and Zhao Gongming, all disciples of the Jie Sect, stood quietly.
