Chapter 673: Changing the Head of the Buddhist Sect



call out.

The three life-saving hairs flew out instantly and turned into the true body of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face was somewhat shocked and unbelievable. She really couldn't imagine how she was discovered. She had used this trick countless times.

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "How did you find out I came in?"

Sha Chen said, "With your strength, you want to play tricks under my nose. You are really overestimating your own abilities."

Only then did Guanyin Bodhisattva realize that she was like an ant in Shachen's eyes, and she felt a little complicated.

Once upon a time, he didn't take the dust seriously and could even control it several times.

But now, she is like an ant in front of Sha Chen. Although she is now at the quasi-saint level, she is still not worth mentioning in front of Sha Chen.

Even Sun Wukong dared to look down on her and did not take her seriously at all.

Sun Wukong also laughed and said, "Bodhisattva, you can't even fool me with your tricks, and you still want to fool others?"

Then he sat down directly, without caring about anything else, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp, and when he saw the dishes on the table, he reached out to grab them and eat them.

"Great wine and great food! It's been a long time since I've had such delicious food, nor such refreshing wine."

Sun Wukong danced with joy and shouted with excitement.

Shachen also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva who was standing next to him with a serious expression as if facing a great enemy, and couldn't help laughing.

"Bodhisattva, if I wanted to kill you or I didn't let you in, you wouldn't be able to get in at all. And if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago."

Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes flickered, and she finally came to her senses.

Then he smiled, sat down, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but did not touch the dishes on the table.

Sha Chen asked, "Could it be that the Bodhisattva, like Tathagata Buddha, is afraid that I might poison the food, and therefore practices the silent meditation?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "If I were afraid, I would not drink. Besides, I have already entered your cave. It seems easier for you to control me than to poison me."

Shachen laughed heartily, "The Bodhisattva is right. With my ability, it would be easy for me to take you down, but I didn't do it because it was unnecessary."

The Bodhisattva said, "If that's the case, will you let me go?"

Shachen smiled again and said, "If you want to leave, it will probably take some time. After all, you've already come in and seen what's going on inside my cave. If I let you go like this, it would be unfair to myself and to those who trust and follow me."

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy, but in fact, I was already prepared to die before I came here."

Shachen also laughed, and Sun Wukong beside him also laughed.

The two of them didn't care about anything else and just started eating and drinking. They drank until the cups were dry, ate meat with big mouthfuls, and drank wine in big bowls.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was sitting next to them, feeling very uncomfortable.

She herself had never imagined that one day two people who were easily controlled by her would be chatting and laughing beside her, while she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Although I feel bitter inside, I have to accept the reality.

Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is natural that we have to bow our heads under someone's eaves.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.

Sun Wukong also spoke up, "Old Sha, the Journey to the West catastrophe has begun. What exactly are your thoughts?"

He acted as if no one was around and talked intimately with Shachen. Guanyin Bodhisattva beside him already understood that these two people might have met each other before, or at least had dealings with each other before.

She had truly walked into a tiger's den, and even the entire Buddhist community had been fooled by these people.

Shachen ignored the Bodhisattva and said directly: "I will definitely not participate in the Journey to the West catastrophe, but I can still consider taking a share of it."

"As for you, you should just go to the West and get the scriptures honestly, because I have high expectations and hopes for you."

Sun Wukong frowned. "Buddhism has treated you like this, and you still want me to go to the West to obtain the scriptures? Are you trying to hand me and Jin Chanzi over to Buddhism?"

He now considers himself to be close to Shachen, and he has already considered Shachen in his words.

After all, he had received too much favor from Shachen, especially in his most difficult days, it was Shachen who came to his side, provided him with a large amount of resources, and helped him solve his problems.

Even if Shachen had ulterior motives and came with a purpose, he didn't care.

At least compared to the Buddhist temple in the West, the sandstorms are much better now.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, she felt a pang in her heart and thought to herself, "Oh no!"

The two men didn't treat her as an outsider at all, or simply ignored her, and discussed the Journey to the West catastrophe so straightforwardly.

This is not a good thing. If she is not killed afterwards, she will definitely be assimilated. The best possible outcome is to detain her.

Neither option is the best, which makes Guanyin Bodhisattva feel cold.

Sun Wukong frowned and said, "If that's the case, what good will it do you if we go to the West to obtain the scriptures? How can you profit from it?"

Sha Chen said, "For you, the Journey to the West catastrophe will definitely bring you endless benefits. Whether it's the power gained during this process or the karma blessing after the catastrophe, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages."

He smiled and said, "You and Jin Chanzi only need to use this catastrophe to improve your strength, and then successfully obtain the Mahayana Dharma, which will be the final victory."

Guang Qian, who had been silent the entire time, finally couldn't help but ask in shock, "Could it be that you want them to be your accomplices and seize the Mahayana Buddhism?"

Shachen said, "You are indeed right. However, obtaining Mahayana Buddhism is secondary. The most important thing is to use this Journey to the West catastrophe to spread their own Buddhist mysteries."

The more Guanyin Bodhisattva listened, the more she felt something was wrong, and she quickly said, “Buddhism is in the Western Paradise. In the Western Paradise, there is Lingshan Mountain, and on Lingshan Mountain, there is Tathagata Buddha. Behind Tathagata Buddha, there are the Pure Land and the Western Paradise. They belong to our two saints in the West.”

"The profound meaning of Buddhism requires the oral testimony of two saints from our Buddhist sect, and now with the addition of the Buddha, it takes the oral testimony of three saints to spread it."

She had already understood the implicit meaning of Sha Chen's words. He intended to use the mouths of Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong to spread their own version of Buddhism.

This is absolutely not allowed, because the Dharma must be preached by Buddhist saints themselves. Others are not allowed to distort or misunderstand it, let alone establish their own school within Buddhism.

Sun Wukong also heard it, his eyes kept shining and he danced with joy.

He grinned and said, "Lao Sha, I understand what you mean. You want to overthrow the entire Buddhist sect, but have you thought it through? We have countless believers. Subverting their faith will most likely lead to public condemnation."

Sha Chen said calmly, "I'm not trying to overthrow their faith. I'm trying to replace the leader of the Buddhist sect!"
