Fated to Be with the West
Ji Xiu's heart trembled. He hadn't expected the other party to be the sect master who had founded the Buddhist Sect.
He also learned from Ancestor Minghe that Amitabha was one of the Three Separations of the Greeting Taoist.
Why would such a peerless figure suddenly appear before him?
One had to know that although Amitabha was the founder of Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism suddenly flourished. When Shakyamuni was in charge of the Great Thunderclap Temple on the Spirit Mountain, Amitabha hid in the Three Thousand Buddhist Kingdoms and rarely came out to interfere in the affairs of the world.
This was too unusual!
Ji Xiu immediately became even more vigilant! If anything went wrong, he was prepared to escape!
"Buddha Lord has specially waited for me. What can I do for you?”Ji Xiu calmed himself down and asked Amitabha.
Amitabha turned a blind eye to Ji Xiu's wariness and said with a normal expression,"
"I see that Almsgiver Liu has a trace of Heavenly Merit and also has the Sacred Body of Buddhism. He is fated to be with the West, so I have specially come to extradite Almsgiver Liu to follow me to the Western Paradise to enjoy the position of Luo Han Guo!”
It turned out that he was here to persuade him to go to the West and become a monk!
Ji Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He said to Amitabha Buddha," I'm an immortal official of the Heavenly Court. I'm afraid I can't be an Arhat of the West. I appreciate the Buddha Lord's good intentions!"”
Amitabha said,"
"As for the Jade Emperor, I will naturally go and tell him. I believe the Jade Emperor will give me some face and not make things difficult for Almsgiver Liu!”
Ji Xiu shook his head."
"But I haven't finished my six strands yet. I like drinking wine, eating meat, and women. I'm afraid I'm not fated to be a Buddha.”
Amitabha Buddha's expression remained calm as he said,"
"As long as Almsgiver Liu follows me to cultivate Buddhism in the Elysian World, he will naturally be able to easily cut off his ties with the secular world and obtain peace!”
Ji Xiu's expression turned cold when he saw that Amitabha was still unwilling to give up despite his repeated rejections.
"Buddha Lord, you don't have to persuade me. I don't want to be a monk myself and be controlled by others.”
Amitabha said,"
"Almsgiver Liu may have a Saintly Being to protect you, but your blood essence has been contaminated by the evil aura of the Ancestor of Sorcery. If you don't purify it, Almsgiver Liu will definitely lose his mind in the future and bring disaster to the three worlds. Our Buddhist cultivation technique is just right to suppress the evil aura. We can help Almsgiver Liu!”
Ji Xiu had absorbed more than a hundred drops of blood essence, so he had naturally absorbed a lot of the blood aura.
It was not strange that Amitabha could feel it.
However, Ji Xiu's Essence Soul had already reached the early-stage Quasi-Sage Realm. His mind was as firm as a rock, so he didn't have to worry about being affected by the Blood Fiend's evil aura.
Therefore, he rejected Amitabha."
"I naturally have a way to control the hostility. There's no need to trouble Buddha Lord. If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave!”
As the saying goes, if you don't get along, you have to say more than half a sentence. After saying that, Ji Xiu's figure flashed and he prepared to leave.
However, Amitabha suddenly moved to block Ji Xiu's path, not allowing him to leave.
Seeing this, Ji Xiu couldn't help but laugh coldly.
"Could it be that Buddha Lord is still planning to bully the weak and forcefully kidnap me to the West to become a monk?”
Amitabha's expression froze. He suddenly let out a long sigh of compassion and said with a pained expression,
"It's not that I want to bully the weak, but Almsgiver Liu's evil aura is too strong. In order to prevent him from harming the three worlds in the future, I have no choice but to extradite Almsgiver Liu to the west to cultivate the Buddhist Dharma. Almsgiver Liu will understand in the future!”
Ji Xiu laughed coldly.
"I don't know if I'll bring disaster to the three worlds, but I know that somewhere, the ferocious beasts under the Buddhist Sect are slaughtering cities and eating people, bringing disaster to the human world! If the big monk was really so compassionate, he should hurry up and kill those fierce beasts. That way, he would not kill as many people as he wanted. That would be a real merit!”
Amitabha said seriously,"
"Our Buddhist Sect values compassion and salvation. Even if we have a Guardian Divine Beast, it's only to suppress demons and ghosts. How can it eat people?”
Ji Xiu said calmly,"
"The great monk has remarkable abilities and can know the things of the three worlds with a single thought. You can't say that you don't know what happened in Lion Camel Ridge, right?”
There were three demon kings in the Lion Camel Ridge. They were the green-haired lion spirit, the white elephant spirit, and the golden-winged great eagle.
Among them, the green-haired lion spirit was Manjushri's mount, the dragon-headed fairy, the white elephant spirit was Samantabhadra's mount, the spirit-toothed fairy, and the golden-winged eagle was Tathagata's uncle.
These three demon kings had massacred all the people in the Shi Tuo Kingdom hundreds of years ago. They had even raised some people like pigs and made them give birth to children to provide blood for the demons. They could be said to be the cruelest demons on the western road!
The most infuriating thing was that even though they had committed such a heinous crime, the three demon kings were not punished at all!
This allowed Ji Xiu to see through the hypocrisy of Buddhism!
When Amitabha heard Ji Xiu mention Lion Camel Ridge, he was speechless. He didn't expect Ji Xiu to know about this.
However, Amitabha was indeed worthy of being the three corpses of the Taoist who received him. He had inherited the thick skin of the two Western Religious Leaders. He said calmly,
"The original citizens of the Lion Camel Kingdom slandered Buddha and didn't accumulate any good karma.”
Ji Xiu was speechless.
Ji Xiu had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person. He actually spoke of cannibalism in such a self-righteous manner. He had finally learned his lesson!
"Hahaha!" Ji Xiu laughed loudly and said,""It's fate for your Buddhist Sect to eat people. I haven't done anything, but you're saying that I'll bring disaster to the three worlds in the future. If this is the Buddhist Dharma, what's the point of learning it?”
The pain on Amitabha's face intensified." It seems that Almsgiver Liu has a deep prejudice against Buddhism. If Almsgiver Liu cultivates Buddhism, he will completely understand the compassion of Buddhism!”
After he finished speaking, Amitabha Buddha's body shone brightly. Endless pressure pressed down on Ji Xiu from all directions, and the air seemed to have solidified.
Countless Arhats and Bodhisattvas were chanting in the surroundings. Their voices filled Ji Xiu's ears, making him lose his mind.
Ji Xiu straightened his body, and the aura of a primeval shaman suddenly burst out from his body, instantly forcing the Buddhist light back a thousand feet. The surrounding pressure suddenly lightened.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the sky. A silver-colored halberd suddenly appeared in his hand.
Ji Xiu pointed the halberd at Amitabha and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, since you don't care about your face, why did you say so much nonsense earlier? Why don't you just use your strength to convince them!"
The almighty with divine powers valued the word 'face' the most. Amitabha was speechless when he heard Ji Xiu's mockery.
He paused and said to Ji Xiu,"
"Then I will have a bet with Almsgiver Liu. I have refined 3,000 Buddhist Kingdoms and the Elysian World. If Almsgiver Liu enters the Elysian World and can't come out, it means that he is fated with the West and should cultivate Buddhism with me. If Almsgiver Liu can come out on his own, it means that your fate in the mortal world has not ended and it is not yet time for you to join our Buddhist Sect. How about it?”
