Chapter 210: Agreement
Western Mount Meru, Mahavira Hall.
Jia Ye recounted their experience of establishing temples and preaching in Chang’an City, and finally sighed, "Disciple has failed the heavy trust and has mishandled the important Buddhist matters. Please, Ancestor Buddha, punish me."
Inside the Mahavira Hall was a total silence, as Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Golden Immortals, and Holy Monks all looked at each other in bewilderment. Why Sun Wukong again? Could it be that this Great Sage Equalling Heaven was the calamity of the Buddha Sect?
But now, even the Buddha Sect had no way to deal with him.
Sun Wukong was not only a high-ranking and powerful Ziwei Great Emperor, but his strength was also comparable to that of top Quasi-Saints.
Everyone inevitably pondered, but no good solutions came to mind, and eventually, they all looked towards the upper part of the hall.
Sitting high on the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Platform, Ancestor Buddha had a majestic face showing neither sorrow nor joy, and he slowly said, "All things must go through hardships and trials to show their true preciousness, and promoting Buddhism is the same.
If these matters were easy to accomplish, who would cherish and value the Buddhist Law?"
The monks looked at each other, clearly understanding that Ancestor Buddha would not blame Jia Ye, but they had to agree with his meaningful words.
"Ancestor Buddha, Supreme One Anan has not returned," Bodhisattva Guanyin said with one hand raised in salute. "May I travel to the Heavenly Court and bring Anan back?"
