"Amazing! Even though this Buddha statue has no head, you can still recognize it as the Infinite King Buddha."
Chen Xuan chuckled.
The Buddha slowly explained, "This is because I have seen them. In ancient times, my master and two fellow apprentices often sat and discussed the Dao."
"Later, due to differences in our philosophies, we had a dispute and rarely interacted with each other anymore."
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva went to the underworld, where he presided over hell and suppressed countless evil spirits. Meanwhile, the Buddha of the Infinite World went to the Nine Heavens, which is the realm of the gods. Of course, it can also be called the world of the living, and became the master of all Buddhas."
"And my master, the World-Honored King Buddha, chose to stay in the Great Ruins Heaven to comprehend the cause and effect and pursue the great path of cause and effect left by the ancestors."
"But I never expected that something like that would happen later. My master passed away, but Ksitigarbha Buddha and the Infinite King Buddha are still alive."
As he spoke, the Buddha sighed softly, with a look of deep disappointment on his face.
To put it bluntly, this Buddha statue is a statue of three brothers together. At that time, the three brothers had a good relationship and did not have any disputes.
But later, disagreements arose and they separated.
"This Buddha statue must have been made in ancient times. Back then, in the sacred land of Buddha, I only saw a small Buddha statue the size of a palm. How come you have such a huge one in your hand?"
The Buddha asked curiously.
He had seen the same Buddha statue before, although it was smaller, but the head of the Buddha of the World was intact, unlike the current one, which had the head missing.
What made him feel even more surprised was that he was a direct disciple of the World-Honored King Buddha, and he had only seen small ones. How did this big one in Chen Xuan's hand come about?
"I met him in the Underworld."
Chen Xuan immediately explained the real reason why he got this Buddha statue.
After hearing this, the Buddha was very surprised.
"The Great Ghost Temple? The Ghost King? A ghost-cultivating monk?"
"This evil ghost king must be quite extraordinary. He was able to obtain these three Buddha statues and enshrine them. His origins must be very ancient."
The Buddha's face showed a serious expression.
"It's no use saying this. This evil ghost king was struck by lightning and turned to ashes when he was undergoing the tribulation."
Chen Xuan shook his head and secretly felt it was a pity. If the Evil Ghost King was not dead, he could ask him how he got the Buddha statue.
Perhaps, as a result, some special mysteries can be solved.
"Donor Chen Xuan, do you think that someone who could obtain this kind of Buddha statue and worship it would die so easily?"
However, the Buddha gave Chen Xuan a meaningful look.
Chen Xuan was stunned by these words and asked in surprise, "Lord Buddha, what do you mean?"
The Buddha smiled and said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, he couldn't be dead. It's very likely that he faked his death. Ghost cultivators are most afraid of the power of thunder, so they faked their death to deceive the heavens."
"He is definitely still alive, but he can't go back to his own Great Ghost Temple!"
"And the reason why this Great Ghost Temple has been occupied by someone else for so many years is probably because he is still alive."
"The fact that these three Buddha statues have been able to stand tall in the temple's main hall must be related to him!"
"I just heard you say that this Great Ghost Temple is in Ghost City, right? And the lord of Ghost City, the Ghost Emperor, is also a ghost who has achieved great success in cultivation."
"So, if I'm not mistaken, this Evil Ghost King should be in Ghost Domain City right now, being protected by the Ghost Emperor. The Heavenly Dao is unaware of his existence. In the future, when he breaks through and becomes a true Quasi-Divine Emperor, he won't be afraid of the Heavenly Dao's thunderbolts again!"
The Buddha's speculation surprised Chen Xuan immensely.
Throughout the world of Huangquan, the story of the Ghost King being killed by lightning spread.
Even the way of heaven concealed the past.
As a result, now, the Buddha was able to infer that the King of Evil Ghosts was still alive just from this little bit of fragmentary information.
Although all this is just speculation, Chen Xuan believes in the power of the Buddha!
He would not make random guesses without any reason, and what he said was very likely to be true!
"By the way, Lord Buddha, look at the tear in the corner of your master's eye."
Chen Xuan pointed to the eyes of the World-Honored King Buddha.
At that time, he and King Pingdeng and others were chatting about something. As they were talking, the Buddha, the King of Freedom in the World, began to cry, which really scared Chen Xuan and the others.
"well."
The Buddha had already noticed that tear. He sighed deeply and said slowly,
"My master had already broken through the limitations of the laws and touched the edge of the great way."
"As long as you cultivate the power of the law into a great way, you can gain power equal to the way of heaven. This realm is called a powerful celestial being."
"Although my master eventually perished, the causal path of my master across the nine heavens and ten earths is scattered across the world like fragments."
"This Buddha statue is, after all, my master's. Perhaps a trace of his karma remains within it, and he shed tears out of pity for the people of the world."
The Buddha explained slowly.
Chen Xuan was a little confused by this explanation, but he could roughly understand it.
"Donor Chen Xuan, I have an unwelcome request."
The Buddha suddenly spoke seriously.
"You want these three Buddha statues?"
Chen Xuan saw through his thoughts at a glance.
The Buddha nodded and said, "Just now, I was still thinking, after getting this red spider lily from Fengdu Emperor, should I go to Taishan Palace Lord, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, or Donghuang Emperor to ask for the next red spider lily?"
"Now, I have the answer. I want to take this Buddha statue to find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, hoping that he will remember our old friendship and give me the red spider lily."
Chen Xuan immediately smiled and said, "This Buddha statue is of no use to me. Since you want it, Lord Buddha, I'll give it to you."
"However, I am a little curious. Isn't this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva your uncle? Even though he had a quarrel with your master, you are still his nephew. Even if you don't take this Buddha statue to reminisce about the past and ask him for the red spider lily, he shouldn't be so stingy as to not give it to you."
"After all, you are the only descendant of the lineage of the Worldly King Buddha."
Hearing this, the Buddha smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, the matter between my master and the two uncles was too complicated to explain in a short time."
"Without this Buddha statue, Uncle Ksitigarbha would not give me this favor. After all, he only has one red spider lily in his hand."
"But with this Buddha statue, it's different, because if I'm not mistaken, this Buddha statue should have been made by that person..."
