Guanyin Bodhisattva has a resolute attitude and a firm look in her eyes.
She said frankly that if she didn't die, she would definitely tell the secret, and then the whole world would know that Shachen wanted to subvert Buddhism and change the dynasty.
Shachen laughed heartily upon hearing this: "If I don't let you out, you can't leave. If I don't kill you, you can't even commit suicide."
His eyes were full of sarcasm and there was a playful look on the corners of his mouth.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was heartbroken, because she knew that what Shachen said was the truth. Although both of them were in the quasi-saint realm, the difference between them was like that between heaven and earth.
With Shachen's strength, he could completely control her. Not to mention leaving the cave, she couldn't even move in a small space.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "You didn't kill me, but trapped me here and told me so many things. What is your intention?"
Sun Wukong was actually a little confused. This matter could have been done without involving Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she was just a trouble.
It would be fine if Guanyin Bodhisattva was killed, but judging from Shachen's expression, it seems that he doesn't want to kill anyone.
Sha Chen smiled and said, "You are the spokesperson for Buddhism. Strictly speaking, your status within Buddhism may not even be in the top ten, but among the many Buddhist believers, your credibility is definitely in the top three."
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned, "You want me to join you in corrupting the world and destroy our dynasty together with you?"
I have to say that the Bodhisattva is very smart. He guessed what Shachen was thinking just by looking at Shachen's words.
Shachen said, "You're right, but don't use the word 'going along with the crowd' because it's too harsh."
"I prefer to say that you have turned from darkness to light, and that we can create great things together. You don't need to look like this, and you shouldn't be so resistant to Buddhism. It's still Buddhism, just with a new head."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "I don't approve of the person you replaced."
Sha Chen asked, "Do you dare to say that Jin Chanzi's Buddhist attainments are inferior to yours? Or do you think his Buddhist teachings are unorthodox and different from the orthodox Buddhism of today?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly. In fact, she felt that Jin Chanzi's Buddhism was not bad, and some of his Buddhist concepts were even very advanced.
But Guanyin Bodhisattva is a conservative person. He does not want Buddhism to fall apart, nor does he want Buddhism to change dynasties.
It’s actually not bad to have Tathagata Buddha in charge. He even feels that Tathagata Buddha’s strength is already there.
Moreover, they have already reached the realm of saints, and have both prestige and strength. They are more than qualified to be the Buddha of Buddhism and can definitely lead Buddhism to a more prosperous level.
As for Jin Chanzi, he is just a disciple of Tathagata Buddha. In the entire Three Realms, his fame and strength are completely incomparable to Tathagata Buddha.
Even if his knowledge of Buddhism is profound and his understanding of Buddhist philosophy is not inferior to hers, he cannot get the support of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "The Buddhist philosophy of Jin Chanzi you chose is indeed good and quite advanced, but it is too fanciful and out of tune with the calm and majestic spirit of our Buddhist sect."
Shachen said, "Any sect needs to be updated and constantly progress. If they stick to the old ways, they will eventually go from decline to prosperity, then from prosperity to decline, and finally to extinction."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Our Buddhist sect is thriving. The Tathagata Buddha has now entered the realm of sainthood. His Buddhist teachings can also lead the entire Buddhist sect to greater prosperity."
"We will be better off following him. If we just keep trying to change the dynasty, countless people will surely stand up and oppose us. By then, the entire Buddhist community will be plunged into war and deception. When will we ever be able to achieve stability and prosperity?"
Shachen laughed heartily. "Don't you understand why Tathagata Buddha was able to become a saint?"
"He absorbed the faith and merits of Buddhism, and blessed himself with countless Buddhist vows. Although he himself has become stronger, the luck of Buddhism as a whole is decreasing. Don't tell me you didn't see it."
Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
She did know that the fortune of Buddhism was decreasing because it had all been absorbed and refined by Tathagata Buddha. It was the fortune and merit accumulated by countless generations of Buddhists who had done good deeds.
With these merits and fortunes, Buddhism would be able to prosper for a long time. But now that many of them have been absorbed by the Tathagata Buddha, the fortune of the entire Buddhist community is declining.
When Buddhists practice cultivation, if they have these and the blessing of Buddhist vows, they will be more focused, overcome their inner demons, and practice cultivation as if they were assisted by God.
Now that all the merits and fortune have been absorbed by Tathagata, it is very difficult for Buddhists to practice and they get half the result with twice the effort.
It is true that the power of the entire Buddhist community was used to recommend Tathagata to become a saint. This is nothing in itself, but when it was said by Shachen, it seemed that Tathagata Buddha was a little selfish.
It seemed as if it had harmed the interests of the entire Buddhist community and strengthened the interests of only one person, the Buddha Tathagata.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "When the Buddha becomes powerful, he will preach the Dharma to the entire Buddhist community, which in turn will make the entire Buddhist community even stronger. This is a good thing."
Sha Chen chuckled and said, "How long are you going to deceive yourself? Tathagata absorbed the merits and luck and became a saint. With his saintly status, he will suppress the luck of the entire Buddhist sect for ten thousand years."
"Under the might of his sainthood, the entire Buddhist community is powerless. It would be extremely difficult for a Golden Immortal to become a Quasi-Sage. Do you dare to say that the Buddhist community is united now?"
"There's definitely an undercurrent surging. Countless people have already cursed Tathagata in their hearts, but because Tathagata's strength far exceeds theirs, they dare not speak out!"
