"What's wrong with it? Isn't this the same seal you used at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain?" Guanyin asked.”
" That's right. I've seen this seal before."
" This is exactly the same as the seal from back then.
" Even the magic power fluctuations are similar."
" This is definitely the Buddhist invitation you used back then."
Bodhisattva Lingji, Bodhisattva Dazhi, and Bodhisattva Manjushri also spoke.
"No, you're all wrong."
Buddha Tathagata shook his head." Although the handwriting and the spiritual energy fluctuations on this Buddhist note are the same as the one I sealed on the Five Elements Mountain back then, they are still different.”
"Then what do you mean?" Guanyin frowned.”
"This Buddha invitation…has already been switched.”
Gautama Buddha said slowly.
"A switch? No! This was impossible! How could we not have noticed?"
Guan Yin immediately retorted.
The Five Elements Mountain was the territory of Buddhism.
Not to mention that they often patrolled.
In the Five Elements Mountain, there were also the Four Directions Jiedi and many Arhats guarding it.
Who could change this seal without anyone knowing?
"Look for yourselves."
Gautama Buddha opened his palm, revealing the Buddha invitation inside.
"The direction and route of the spiritual energy circulation in this Buddha invitation is no longer the same as that Buddha invitation from back then.”
" Moreover, there's no trace of my aura on this invitation."
"So, this Buddha invitation was copied by others!”
Gautama Buddha said with certainty.
"What is it? It…it was forged?"
Guanyin was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
One had to know that Gautama Buddha was a Quasi-Sage.
Who in the three worlds could imitate his Buddhist invitation?
And he didn't even let Gautama Buddha have any reaction?
"That's right. My Buddha invitation has already been forged by someone, and we still don't have any news! Perhaps decades ago, or even centuries ago, this Buddha invitation had already been swapped."
Guanyin was completely stunned!
Their Buddhist stuff had been switched for so long, and no one knew?
" Buddha, that's impossible, right? How could it have been switched? How could you not know?" Bodhisattva Lingji stood up and asked.
"What if I tell you that I really don't know anything?”
Gautama Buddha said to Ling Ji.
"What do you mean?"
Ling Ji asked in confusion.
"I really don't know anything!”
Tathagata shook his head and said,"If we can complete all of this silently, there's probably a Saint behind it."
Gautama Buddha's words were shocking.
'Saint'? The Bodhisattvas looked at each other.
They had no idea what was going on.
Didn't the Saints stop asking about the Three Realms long ago?
Why did he come out today to stop their plan to travel west?
......
In a palace somewhere outside the 33 Heavens.
There were two praying mats in the palace.
The praying mats were originally meant for people from the Taoist Faction, but there were two men dressed in Buddhist attire sitting quietly on the praying mats.
One of them was thin and looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His expression was a little cold.
The other one had a well-proportioned figure and looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He had a pained expression on his face.
Beneath the two of them, Gautama Buddha and Dipamkara Buddha stood respectfully.
"Greetings to the two sect masters!" Upon seeing the two of them open their eyes, both Dipamkara Buddha and Gautama Buddha hurriedly bowed.
"Yes, you don't have to be so polite!" Jieyin, who had a pained expression on his face, gently waved his hand and said.
Tathagata opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Jieyin.
"You don't need to say anything more. My junior brother and I already know about the Five Elements Mountain…"
Tathagata opened his mouth but did not say anything else. Since the Sage already knew, there was naturally no need for him to say anything else.
You guys go back first and take charge of the matters of the Journey to the West. Leave this matter to me and Junior Brother."
Jie Yin spoke again.
"Yes, sir." Gautama Buddha and Dipamkara Buddha hurriedly retreated.
Senior Brother, do you know if this was done by the Three Pure Ones…?"
After Tathagata and Dipamkara Buddha left, Zhunti asked first.
"You mean…this was done by the Three Pure Ones…Impossible, absolutely impossible!”Hearing Taoist Cundi's story, the Taoist who received him exclaimed.
As his Senior Brother, he knew the Three Pure Ones better than Taoist Cundi.
Now, Buddhism was flourishing.
Even the Three Pure Ones would not interfere in Buddhist affairs.
Therefore, the Daoist who received him would not suspect that this was done by the Three Pure Ones.
However, Taoist Cundi's solemn vow and sincere expression made him waver.
"Senior Brother, I've already deduced it just now, but I can't deduce anything at all!”
