BXBX NOVEL Chapter 382 - 303: If I explode myself again, will you still be able to laugh?
“Paying respects to Master of the Primordial Beginning!”
“Paying respects to Master of the Primordial Beginning!”
Maitreya Buddha’s smile was a bit stiff, and Guanyin standing beside him looked extremely embarrassed.
When they revealed themselves just now, they subconsciously used some special effects according to Shimen’s way of making an entrance, only to find that the Master of the Primordial Beginning didn’t show them any respect.
At this moment.
Qingwan was incredibly surprised when she saw Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin. No wonder her Sir kept staring at the room beam earlier.
At the same time, she looked down on Shimen even more. Having stepped into the cultivation world for many years, she naturally knew the status of Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin in Shimen.
But she never expected that these two would have the nerve to hide up on the room beam after pleading their case earlier.
“Hahaha, that’s hilarious! I thought only thieves would climb up on the room beam, never imagined the Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva would too!”
Monkey King covered his stomach and rolled on the ground, his face full of ridicule.
Of all the people in Shimen, whom did he resent the most?
Besides Tathagata, who had suppressed him under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years, it was none other than the hypocritical and insincere Guanyin, who even forced the golden hoop on him.
Not too long ago, he successfully enraged Tang Xuanzang, the monk, and got himself kicked out of the sect. Just as he thought he could finally live a carefree life…
He was intercepted by Guanyin halfway through his flight and beaten up before having the golden hoop forcibly placed on his head.
Hearing Monkey King’s laughter,
Tang Xuanzang finally reacted. He knelt on the ground, shouting loudly, “Disciple Xuanzang, pays his respects to Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva!”
“HmPh~ ” Monkey King glanced at Tang Xuanzang who was on the ground and sneered with disdain.
Leaving aside the drama between Tang Xuanzang, Maitreya Buddha, and the others.
At this moment,
Guanyin and Maitreya Buddha simply nodded their heads in response to Tang Xuanzang’s salute, then shifted their gazes toward the Master of the Primordial Beginning.
Master of the Primordial Beginning, you must know that the matter of Journey to the West is of great importance. We hope that you can release Tang Xuanzang and his disciples, let them pass through the Black Wind Country, and continue their journey to the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and fetch the Scriptures!”
Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly.
As soon as these words were spoken.
“Hehe!”
Xuanqing squinted his eyes, sizing up Guanyin, especially the broken lotus platform beneath her and the bamboo basket magic tool in her hand.
Guanyin, do you want to taste the blooming fireworks again?”
“You…”
Guanyin was slightly taken aback, recalling her last memory, her body shuddered involuntarily.
Off to the side,
Maitreya Buddha’s expression didn’t look too good either.
He had come to support Guanyin Bodhisattva on this trip, but the Master of the Primordial Beginning showed no respect at all.
With that in mind, he was blunt, not even addressing the Master of the Primordial Beginning, and directly called out his name.
“Daoist Xuanqing, detaining Tang Xuanzang in Black Wind Country is of no benefit to either Taoism or Buddhism. Why bother committing such a harmful and self-destructive act?” Maitreya Buddha said with a stiff smile.
However,
Before Xuanqing could speak,
Monkey King jumped out again, looking at Maitreya Buddha’s stiff smile and mocking him, “You chubby monk, if you can’t laugh, don’t force it. It looks so awful.”
“Pfft~”
At these words,
Xuanqing couldn’t help but laugh. His gaze towards Monkey King became much friendlier. As far as he was concerned, anyone who didn’t get along with Shimen was a friend of Xuanqing.
“You cheeky monkey- ”
Guanyin glanced at Maitreya Buddha, whose face was even stiffer, and immediately explained, “The Future Buddha Maitreya has a joyful image of all beings. He takes away the suffering of all beings. No matter what happens, he always looks like this.”
Upon hearing this,
Maitreya Buddha agreed and nodded. He practiced the Happy Laughing Face Path to always remain cheerful, no matter how much suffering he endured inside.
However… Xuanqing’s next words made Guanyin’s face even more embarrassed, and Maitreya Buddha’s smile stiffened even more.
“Maitreya Buddha, I’m curious, if you had to bear my self-detonation…”
Xuanqing raised his eyebrows and paused for a few seconds before continuing with great interest:
“I wonder if you would still be able to laugh?”
At these words,
Maitreya Buddha’s mouth twitched slightly as he touched his stomach. He then took a deep breath and said seriously:
“Daoist Xuanqing, I wonder what it would take for you…to let Tang Xuanzang continue his journey to the West to fetch the Scriptures?”
After hearing this,
Xuanqing didn’t answer, but simply looked at Maitreya Buddha with a smile, just like the expression on the other’s face.
To tell the truth,
Ever since he had fallen out with Guanyin and Shimen, he had been expecting this day to come.
Originally,
Xuanqing thought that if the other party spoke some soft words, he might not make things difficult for them, considering the situation with Journey to the West which involved not only Shimen but also Taoism and his own teacher.
However, these two came in with a high moral ground, even using public opinion to pressure him. This attitude was very unsettling. As the saying goes… asking for help should have a humble approach!
At this moment.
Seeing Daoist Xuanqing’s expression,
Either Guanyin or Maitreya Buddha knew in their hearts that this matter could not be resolved through mere words; they must pay a practical price.
With this in mind,
Guanyin Bodhisattva began, “Master of the Primordial Beginning, it was indeed the poor monk who made a mistake in the matter before. I am willing to make compensation for this.”
