Chapter 612 Ran Deng’s Rejection

Chapter 592: Ran Deng’s Rejection

After the efforts of Patriarch Bodhi, and under the interests and threats of the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the Great Sun Tathagata finally compromised. If he continued, the first unlucky person would be himself, so the Great Sun Tathagata could not He did not speed up the integration of the West and stopped the chaotic situation. He also agreed to the request of Patriarch Bodhi and had no objection to recalling the ancient Buddha and others.

The Great Sun Tathagata has been solved, but it is not an easy thing to change the mind of the ancient Buddha. In this matter, Patriarch Bodhi did something unreasonable, so he wants to get the approval of the ancient Buddha and others. It’s difficult, not to mention the ancient Randen Buddha and others who now have their own inheritance in the East.

At this time, who would be stupid enough to give up their own interests in the east and turn to the west to fight with those guys of Mahavairocana? Moreover, Mahavairocana is the lord of the west and the lord of Buddhism. He has an innate advantage. In this case, , one can imagine the thoughts of Randen Ancient Buddha and others. It is difficult to persuade them to return to the West.

No matter how difficult it is, Patriarch Bodhi must do it, otherwise the trouble in the West will be even greater. Without people like Randen Ancient Buddha, the strength of the West will be greatly weakened. The birth of Fengdu Ghost World, the rise of the sun and stars The changes and the reaction from heaven made Patriarch Bodhi uneasy and needed to strengthen his own strength and the strength of the West.

"Sage, do you think it is necessary for us to return to the West? Not to mention the attitude of Mahavairocan Buddha, we will not accept the current situation in the West, let alone the repeated breach of trust by others, which makes us even less able to accept it. If you dare to go back and use us, you will think of us and ask us to contribute to the West, but then turn around and abandon us. There is no integrity at all. We have done our best by not leaving the West directly. If you want to let us It is impossible to go back to the West. Now we all have our own monastery in the East, so we will no longer go to the West to compete with the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha. This is considered the best result!"

Facing Patriarch Bodhi's persuasion, Ancient Buddha Randeng refused without hesitation. The reason was very sufficient, and Patriarch Bodhi was speechless. The fault was not with Ancient Buddha Randenng and others, but with the Patriarch Bodhi is from the West, so they have reason to refuse. If they want to use righteousness to suppress the ancient Buddha, they can only say that Patriarch Bodhi thinks too much.

"What the Ancient Buddha said is what I feel. Now we are living well in the East. There are no fights. We can do whatever we want. There is no reason to go back to the West and suffer the consequences. We are being squeezed and get nothing. At this time, the era of drawing big cakes is over, we have completely woken up, and we are no longer as naive as before!" Samantabhadra Bodhisattva stood up to cooperate with the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng, without any nostalgia for the West, and some were just disgusted.

When seeing the reaction of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but frown, and his mood became heavier. He could deeply feel Bodhisattva Samantabhadra's inner disgust for the West, which shocked Patriarch Bodhi. He didn't expect that things would come to this point, making Randen Ancient Buddha and the others so repulsive to the West.

In fact, Patriarch Bodhi has always been wrong about one issue. The Great Sage’s teaching is tempting to other living beings in the prehistoric world, but it is not that big for the ancient Buddha and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. They betrayed the teaching for their own benefit. They just joined the West, but they got nothing in the West. They just paid blindly without seeing any gains. How can such a situation be recognized by them and how can they be accepted?

Just as Puxian Bodhisattva said, after they have experienced so many things, they are no longer the innocent people they were at the beginning. They will no longer believe in Patriarch Bodhi’s method of painting a big cake. How can they still be a little bit after suffering so many losses? Even if you are not vigilant, you will still believe in these promises of Patriarch Bodhi. Even if Patriarch Bodhi is sincere now, their hearts have become cold and they will no longer believe in Patriarch Bodhi. If it were not for external reasons, perhaps they would have escaped from the West directly.

"Forget it, since you don't believe it, I won't say anything more. It was indeed my problem before that caused the entire West to fall into chaos. Now everything is changing. You don't want to believe it, and I won't force you. You, the original agreement is still valid, and there will be no change in the division of interests in the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West. You are prepared and wait for notification!" Under this situation, Patriarch Bodhi understood that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. People's hearts have become cold. If you want to change their minds, you will need to make a lot of efforts to save everything bit by bit. When Patriarch Bodhi left, Ancient Buddha Ran Deng's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Do you think what Patriarch Bodhi said is somewhat credible? What should we do? Although he said that the previous agreement will not Change, but can he really do it? Could this be a calculation against us, deliberately making us relax our vigilance? "

We can't blame the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng for having such an idea. Who asked Patriarch Bodhi to do too much, making them dare not believe easily anymore, fearing that it would be another trap, a conspiracy, and let them work hard in vain but get nothing? Not much good!

"I don't know, it's hard to say, but we can't take it lightly. Let Ancestor Bodhi take the initiative to find us to 'reconcile' and let us return to the West. It seems that the pressure in the West is not small now, and the situation in the West is also very dangerous. Otherwise They won't think of us. Perhaps Patriarch Bodhi has regrets now, but who can guarantee how long this regret will last. This is not the first time that we have been deceived, so it is better to be cautious. At this time, I will only return to the West. I'm afraid that we will become their target of oppression again. I don't know what you think, but I won't accept it!" Samantabhadra Bodhisattva made a decision immediately and would not accept Patriarch Bodhi's 'good intention'. Go back to the west.

"Yes, in this situation, it is better to be cautious. I will not go back to the West. We have just settled in the East. We have finally established our own dojo and gained recognition. At this time, when we return to the West, our previous efforts are It's a waste of effort, I can't accept it. Even if we return to the West and get some land, everything is still out of our control. The East is our root!" Guanyin Bodhisattva also made a decision and refused to accept it. Patriarch Bodhi's 'kindness'!

Compared with others, Guanyin Bodhisattva is in a better situation. At least he can move forward and retreat freely, and completely cut off the cause and effect of the teachings. He does not have to worry about the troubles of the teachings, not to mention the West. Only the West owes him, not himself. We owe it to the West, so under this situation, there will be no hidden dangers in any choice we make.

Zhenliu Sunfo also nodded and said: "I also agree with Guanyin Bodhisattva. At this time, it is impossible for us to give up the Taoist temple we have finally established and go back to the west based on just a word from Patriarch Bodhi. That will only make people miserable." They look down upon us even more, thinking that we are easy to exploit and bully, and that staying in the East is our best choice. Moreover, all our heritage in the West has been wiped out, so why go back to the West?"

"It makes sense. Under this situation, we can't make any more mistakes, otherwise we will really have no foothold. Is the West important to us? It doesn't matter at all, because we have been excluded from the beginning to the end. This kind of How can we trust Patriarch Bodhi under such circumstances. Now is the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and the West is in crisis. Only then does Patriarch Bodhi think of us. What will happen after the crisis is over? The Lord of the West is the Great Sun Tathagata. And we all have grudges with him. I don’t think this guy will give up his grudges with us. Staying in the East is our best choice. Only by consolidating our dojo in the East can we have enough confidence. To the West." Manjushri Bodhisattva also expressed his thoughts. For people like them, no one dared to believe the promise of Patriarch Bodhi.

"Okay, since everyone thinks that staying in the East is the best choice, then we will stay and ignore Ancestor Bodhi and everything in the West. No matter how big the changes are in the West, it has nothing to do with us. If we travel to the West Patriarch Bodhi abides by his agreement during the great calamity, and we will accept his arrangement. Otherwise, we can only give up. We will not do anything that is not beneficial in the future, and we will no longer become pawns of the West and be used and taken advantage of. Not even a little benefit!" Facing everyone's opinions, the Ancient Buddha of Deng Deng also made a decision. Who can be without anger in his heart after being deceived by the West all the time?

"Although we all agree, we also need to consider more things. What made Patriarch Bodhi make such a change? Is it just the chaos in the West, is it just that the journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures is about to begin? I don't think it's the same thing. It can be so simple. There must be a secret behind it that we don't know. Otherwise, Patriarch Bodhi would not bow his head, let alone bow to us. We need to figure this out!" Guanyin Bodhisattva reminded everyone, don't Being confused by superficial things, the fundamental issues are the most important. If you don’t even know why, you are in danger.

"Yes, Patriarch Bodhi never told us the reason from beginning to end. He just used Journey to the West as an example. This shows that he still doesn't trust us. How can we accept his 'good intentions'? Even after all, we are still unwilling. He believes in us, or is unwilling to share the benefits with us. In his eyes, we are just thugs, objects that can be exploited." When he said this, Puxian Bodhisattva sneered again and again, his eyes filled with endless anger. No one wants to be deceived again and again, but this is not the first time that Patriarch Bodhi has deceived them, and now he wants to continue, which naturally makes them angry.
