Chapter 550: Being on guard against others is essential

The Bodhisattva finally calmed down, but when he heard Wen Rui's words, he almost lost his temper again. His face turned pale and he said, "You picked up a stone from nowhere. Even if you found it to be a precious jade, you want to exchange it for my foundation for enlightenment? I will give you three willow leaves from the willow branch in the bottle, which are enough to exchange for that stubborn stone!"

"I'm sorry, I can't offer you the price this time. If you don't want to exchange, forget it. I don't want your tattered willow leaf! I got it from Huanxi Zen Temple last time... Well, I haven't used up all the three leaves I got."

Wen Rui sneered and shook his head, saying meaningfully: "God knows if you will do anything to the leaves, hiding your murderous intentions and waiting for me to fall into your trap."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was speechless for a moment, and said in surprise: "Wen Rui, I have achieved the status of a Bodhisattva for hundreds of years, saved countless sentient beings, and my reputation among the people is praised by everyone. Why do I always feel that you are extremely prejudiced against me, and have never even regarded me as a good person?"

According to the Bodhisattva's supreme wisdom and perfect state of mind, there shouldn't be many things in the world that it can't understand. However, its confused expression didn't seem fake. It really couldn't understand why Wen Rui disliked it so much.

Even the Mother of Mount Lishan, who Wen Rui sought shelter under, had hatred for the Chan sect several times greater than that of this third-generation disciple. However, after years of continuous resolving the hatred, it has almost disappeared.

But Wen Rui just can't forget the old grudge. No one holds a grudge more than him.

"It's just a PR image. When an idol debuts, they naturally have to show a side that everyone loves and everyone sees flowers bloom."

Wen Rui put on a poker face and said with dead eyes, "Master Cihang, others may not know the secrets of your true nature, but I remember them clearly. I just want to ask you one question, how did your disciple Yin Hong of the Chan Sect die?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva was horrified, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said: "Amitabha, I am so sorry..."

Yin Hong died in the Tai Chi formation. It was his master Chi Jingzi who personally tried to kill him. But before doing so, Yin Hong repented and begged Chi Jingzi to spare his life out of consideration for their relationship as master and disciple. He vowed to protect King Wu in his campaign against King Zhou.

Chi Jingzi still wanted to stay, but Taoist Cihang shouted coldly: "This is the will of heaven, how dare we disobey it. Don't delay his entry into the Conferred God Platform!"

Just like a cruel official supervising the execution of an executioner, Chi Jingzi was forced to hold back his tears and raise the Tai Chi diagram to mobilize his magic power to turn Yin Hong into ashes.

"Are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas really as compassionate as they appear? They are clearly practicing the path of emptiness and the absence of emotion and form, so why are they pretending to be good people?"

Wen Rui sneered and said, "You and I are the same kind of people, so don't act like that in front of me. We are both Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. The reason why Chi Jingzi cannot enter the Buddhist sect is because he is too soft-hearted. He doesn't have even a little bit of humanity and compassion in his heart."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. The truth is not what you said!"

"Just because there is a vacancy in the Conferred Gods, you force your fellow disciples to kill each other. You are truly merciful."

Wen Rui's sarcasm was full, and every word was heart-piercing: "It's simply because Yin Hong's identity is sensitive and it concerns the overall situation of the Conferred Gods that he has to die. His death completely declares that the imperial power of the Shang Dynasty has come to an end. My plan to support the prince to ascend the throne and restore order has completely failed."

"In the current situation, the friendship between fellow disciples and the relationship between master and apprentice must be abandoned..."

Wen Rui said meaningfully: "Bodhisattva, you are a man who does great things. In a sense, we are birds of a feather. I am also a kind and compassionate god. I gave up this stubborn stone to fulfill your compassionate heart, and you used three broken leaves to fool me? You can insult my personality, but you can't insult my IQ."

The Bodhisattva looked at Wen Rui steadily, as if he had realized something. He nodded heavily and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, okay, life is priceless, compassion is priceless, I will use this bottle of mine to exchange for your spirit fetus!"

"Hey hey hey..."

Wen Rui laughed several times, and could hardly suppress his smile. Wen Rui had other intentions in his words just now. He used Yin Hong as an example, and besides making indirect accusations, he also reminded the Buddha that the importance of this stubborn stone to Western religion was like the importance of Yin Hong to the Shang Dynasty.

Back then, Taoist Cihang forced Chi Jingzi and his disciples to kill each other and kill Yin Hong in order to stabilize the overall situation, and he was willing to pay any price for it.

Chi Jingzi killed his beloved disciple with his own hands and was deeply shocked and disheartened. After being deified, he lived in seclusion.

Taking advantage of this old story of the Conferred God, Wen Rui pointed out implicitly that you destroyed the chance of the revival of the Shang Dynasty back then, and today I can also destroy your chance of the prosperity of the Western Religion. As for what price both parties can pay and accept, it is definitely not those three broken willow leaves!

"Wen Rui, I thought I had overestimated you and given you enough attention."

Guanyin Bodhisattva had a serious expression, putting away the image of compassion and lowering eyebrows, and said with a gloomy face: "I have just realized it now, but it is not perfect. I have not yet eliminated the obstacles of knowledge, so you took advantage of me. Now I have lost the Dharma instrument that helped me achieve enlightenment, which is the price I should pay to eliminate the past karma."

It raised its palm, and the jade bottle slowly floated up and flew towards Wen Rui.

"Don't move, or I'll detonate the hydrogen bomb!"

Wen Rui hurriedly stopped him, and said sternly with a vigilant look on his face: "This is not a good place to hand over treasures. Among all the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, you are the most cruel and ruthless. God knows whether you will give this bottle to me or smash it to death when it flies over here!"

The Bodhisattva sighed, feeling extremely helpless, and said, "You are such a dirty-hearted young man! No matter how incompetent I am, I am still two generations older than you. As a Bodhisattva, I have already put aside my dignity and admitted defeat to you. How could I do such a despicable thing to you?"

"Well, if you have the guts, swear that you will never lie to anyone again. Even monkeys can't lie."

Wen Rui did not relax his vigilance at all, and slowly retreated while holding the stone as if guarding against thieves: "We will make the transaction in Lishan, let the Mother of Lishan be a witness, and by the way, ask her to check if your bottle has been tampered with."

What is counterintuitive is that, in Wen Rui's cognition, Guanyin Bodhisattva is accustomed to deceiving people. She transformed into a little girl to deceive Elder Jinchi, transformed into a beautiful woman to deceive a pervert, and then turned into a red-faced skeleton to scare the other party into losing certain functions, and she even called it helping people see through the world of lust.

As for tricking the monkey into wearing a golden hoop, tricking Tang Monk and his disciples into finding a son-in-law, tricking Red Boy into sitting on a lotus platform on a mountain of swords...

That's all basic stuff, they've been cheating all the way without stopping.

If you are not on guard and the bottle is put on your head, it will be too late to cry when you recite the bottle-tightening spell.

Staring at the Bodhisattva Guanyin, Wen Rui slowly accelerated backwards, holding the Spirit Stone and starting the jump engine, and passed through the hexagonal space gate. When his figure disappeared, his voice still echoed in the air: "I'll wait for you in Lishan. If you don't come within three days, the deal will be terminated!"

When his voice was blown away by the fierce wind on the sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva could not help but sigh to the sky with a sad look on her face.

"How could my destiny-seeing ability have missed this evildoer? If I had known this would happen, I would have killed him right here in the Joyful Zen Temple, even if the consequences would be devastating!"

After saying this cruel word, it shook its head again, clasped its hands together and said to itself: "What a sin, I was actually triggered by him to cause troubles. Stay calm, be pure, and don't be angry..."
