Chapter 383 - 303: If I explode myself again, will you still be able to laugh?_2
While speaking.
She took out several light groups with golden glows from her hand-held bamboo basket.
As soon as the light groups appeared.
In an instant.
A wave of divine thoughts of sentient beings filled the entire Imperial Study Room; these light groups were actually condensed and formed from concentrated incense, sharing an ingenious similarity to the Gathering Qi
Beads.
“These incenses… are ten times more than what I, the poor monk, gave you before. Isn’t it enough to represent my sincerity?”
Guanyin looked confident and said casually.
In her opinion, she had faced Daoist Xuanqing several times before; although she had suffered losses each time, they were resolved by compensating with some incense belief.
This time… the incense she compensated was ten times more than before; even if Daoist Xuanqing was greedy, he should be satisfied, right?
But, to her surprise, things often went against her wishes.
“That’s it?”
Xuanqing then shook his head with a faint smile.
These incense fires in the light group would have been a considerable sum for
him in the past.
However, for him now… with a daily income of more than six hundred million, approaching seven hundred million, it’s not worth mentioning. Even if he threw it on the ground, he would be too lazy to pick it up.
What a pity that Guanyin was so confident; she acted as if these incenses were some kind of treasure.
Just this?
Hearing this…
Guanyin frowned slightly, but thinking about the Journey to the West, which was related to the rise of Buddhism, she was in charge of the entire journey.
So… she waved her right hand and took out several more light groups.
“Daoist Xuanqing, now… should it be enough?” Guanyin Bodhisattva said solemnly.
Upon hearing this
Xuanqing was speechless.
After thinking about it,
He whispered in his heart, “Exchange for one hundred million incense fire!”
[Ding…-IE Ingot]
As the ingots decreased, countless Gathering Qi Beads appeared in his game backpack. Each bead contained a dense and pure incense fire.
Whoosh ~
With a wave of Xuanqing’s right hand, he took out the one hundred million incenses from the game backpack and casually piled them on the ground.
“Guanyin Bodhisattva, if you need incense, I can lend you some.”
In that instant,
Guanyin was stunned.
Maitreya Buddha was also stunned.
Their eyes looked at the Gathering Qi Beads casually piled in the corner, feeling the rich and pure power of incense fire inside them…
???
This…this?
Guanyin’s face turned red, and she felt so embarrassed that she could dig a
Lingxiao Bao Hall with her toes.
The other party casually took out hundreds of millions of incense fires, while she searched for more than twenty million and regarded them as treasures.
Comparing the two, she seemed like a clown.
Under such circumstances,
Finally,
The smile on Maitreya Buddha’s face froze. Although it was just a momentary change, everyone in the Imperial Study Room, except for Tang Xuanzang, a mortal, had extraordinary cultivation, and they all caught this subtle change.
Xuanqing showed a playful smile.
It seemed that there was no need to use a self-destruct on Maitreya Buddha; just such humiliation was enough to change his expression. Tsk, tsk…
No wonder Guanyin and Maitreya Buddha lost their composure.
You should know,
Since the ancient war, Shimen, which established the Buddha Court, has become the most significant force besides the Heavenly Court in the Three Realms.
In the Three Realms, only their Shimen bullied others; no one else has ever bullied their Shimen.
Such a sudden role switch, they couldn’t adapt to it for a while, which was understandable.
“Huh-”
Guanyin took a deep breath, withdrew all the light groups back into the bamboo basket, and didn’t mention the incense fire compensation anymore; otherwise, it would only humiliate herself further.
“Master of the Primordial Beginning, I’m at a loss this time. I don’t know what
I should do so you would be willing to open up Black Wind Country and let Tang Xuanzang go on his Journey to the West to fetch the scriptures?”
As the old saying goes, those who understand the times are great men, or perhaps… one cannot help but bow when under someone else’s roof. Faced with Daoist Xuanqing now, Guanyin has no choice but to compromise.
This moment.
Hearing Guanyin’s words of compromise.
Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King were both astonished. They never expected that the high and mighty Guanyin Bodhisattva would actually have a day of compromise.
Especially Tang Xuanzang. In his heart, the great compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves people from disasters and hardships, could never be wrong and could never compromise with anyone.
“It seems that the Master of the Primordial Beginning is quite an impressive personage,” Monkey King thought to himself, his eyes spinning around in their sockets.
After being suppressed for five hundred years, the Monkey King’s arrogance had subsided. He was no longer the ignorant and conceited person who thought he was second only to the sky and placed himself on the same level as it.
Now, though still proud at heart, his pride had settled down, and he had become quite cunning.
At this moment.
Daoist Xuanqing ponders for a brief moment.
He really didn’t know what demands to make right now.
After all.
In the impoverished land of the Journey to the West, even the top leaders of Shimen, such as the past Buddha Burning Lamp, the present Buddha Tathagata, and the Future Buddha Maitreya, had very few magic treasures in their hands.
Not to mention anything else.
just looking at Maitreya Buddha, his kasaya is plain and ordinary. Only his copper coins in his hand and the human seed bag around his waist are barely worth looking at, but they are not at the Chaos Level, not even Half-step Chaos Level.
In plain words…Shimen is too poor.
Daoist Xuanqing thought for a long time and finally came up with something that might be worth his attention.
“To be honest, you Shimen don’t have much that I, a humble Daoist, would be interested in, but the previous actions of Guanyin towards me can’t be ignored.”
“So… I ask you for a person. If you are willing to hand that person over to me, I will no longer block the Western Journey. If you don’t…”
“Hehe- ” Daoist Xuanqing chuckled coldly and said indifferently, “Then your Shimen may have to wait until eleven lifetimes later to fetch the Golden Cicada!”
Hearing these words.
Guanyin’s heart skipped a beat, and she had a faint sense of unease.
As expected.
The other party’s next words made her feel even worse.
“The person I am asking for is… the Third Prince of the West Sea, Ao Lie!”
Ao Lie?
“Impossible!”
Guanyin’s face suddenly changed, and without hesitation rejected this demand, “Anything but that! Ao Lie is a predetermined force in the Western Journey. How can we give him to you?”
For Shimen, if they really gave Ao Lie away, the Journey to the West would not be able to continue, because Ao Lie was chosen by Heaven and Earth as a Doomsday Person, and even one of the main characters in the Journey to the West during the Doomsday.
So… giving Ao Lie away would mean no Journey to the West, but if they did not give him away, there is still a glimmer of hope if they wait until the eleventh life of the Golden Cicada.
Under such circumstances, the choice is clear!
However.
Guanyin quickly realized that since the other party had brought up the conditions, it meant that there was room for negotiation.
The reason for proposing Ao Lie was most likely an attempt to make an outlandish request, one that would be rejected, and then make a less outrageous request, making it easier to achieve their true goal.
With this thought in mind.
“Huff-”
Guanyin suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke in a melancholic tone, “Daoist Xuanqing, you are a smart man. Just say what your real intentions are!” For some reason.
Usually, no matter what happened, the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who could always accept it calmly, would always get so easily angered when facing Daoist Xuanqing, as if something was clouding her God Soul.
“Hehe-”
Daoist Xuanqing chuckled lightly again and said indifferently, “Alright, since it’s like that, this humble Daoist will no longer conceal his intentions.” “Ao Lie… This humble Daoist still wants him, but… after the Journey to the West is over, even the Heavenly Merit in his body can be extracted by you Shimen, then give him to me.”
As these words came out.
Guanyin still felt uncertain, so she looked at Maitreya Buddha standing beside her.
After all, in Shimen’s calculation, Ao Lie, who had been baptized by Heavenly Merit, had great potential. They planned to seal him in the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions and use him to guard the gates of Ling Mountain at the end.
However.
Compared to previously simply asking Ao Lie to be taken away, it didn’t seem as difficult to accept now.
