4Chapter 17 The Lion’s Big Opening

"Sage, our request is very simple. In the next calamity, we must get enough merit. The great prosperity of the West must have a meritorious deed. We must get our own share. If we want to add an extra It’s worth it, we have to get one-third of the merit. Also, we won’t follow the orders of the Great Sun Tathagata, because we don’t believe in him. It’s not like you don’t know about the earth and stars. He makes us have no sense of security. "Good guy, Samantabhadra opened his mouth this time and directly asked for a shocking benefit, which shocked the ancient Buddha and others.

Patriarch Bodhi was also shocked by Samantabhadra's request. They were so open-minded that they also asked other Western disciples how to obtain merit and luck. This was not to embarrass themselves, but if they did this, other disciples would do the same if they knew it. How should I deal with the request? I can't let all the benefits be taken away by the five of them.

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said: "Samantabhadra, you are too greedy. Only five of you can share one-third of the luck and merit. Do you think I can agree? Even if I can agree, do you think others will?" Do you agree? Where do you put the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha and where do you put other people? Your request is beyond what I can accept!"

"No, I don't think my request is too much. On the contrary, I have been very restrained. What other people think is their own business. We are different from them. Maitreya and other Western disciples are originally Enjoying the luck and merits of the West, they have received help from the luck of the West from the beginning. The disciples of Jiejiao joined the West because they were desperate and were saved by the saint. They had no choice, but We are different, we were poached from the teachings by the saint, but the saint has not fulfilled your promise to us, and our current request is only to get back part of the benefits we deserve, the benefits promised by the saint!"

When he said this, Puxian paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "The first of us all have great luck, and after we joined the West, the West's luck was also enhanced. , but then the saint not only failed to give us the good fortune and luck we had originally agreed, but because the operations of Mahavatha Tathagata repeatedly failed, the luck of the West was damaged, and our luck was indirectly damaged. I don’t feel that I There's nothing wrong with it. Even so, we still haven't gotten the benefits we had, let alone the corresponding benefits."

As soon as Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said these words, Randen Ancient Buddha and the others nodded in agreement. If according to Samantabhadra, they did not get the benefits they deserved, the West still owes them a lot of karma. Therefore, this request becomes reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

This is true, but Patriarch Bodhi finds it difficult to accept it. In his opinion, this is a bit too crazy, and it is not that the original agreement cannot be repaid in other ways. If he agrees to Samantabhadra's proposal now, he will definitely become the Western leader in the future. There are hidden dangers that may break out at any time, and if according to what Pu Xian said, Ran Deng and the others have no real intention to integrate into the West. They do not regard the West as their 'home' at all!
At this time, Patriarch Bodhi still shook his head and said: "Impossible, you are making things difficult for me. Even if I don't fulfill my promise to you, I still can't separate so many merits and fortunes of the Western Daxing, and the two of them The Saint has left Chaos to hunt for treasures. He will return soon, at least before the next calamity. Everything owed by that time will be compensated to you. Therefore, I cannot accept your request. You cannot only consider your own interests. Even if there are difficulties, we must also consider the West.”

"Sage, you are making things difficult for us. You asked us to think about the West, but why don't you think about us? What we want to join the West is for breakthroughs and cultivation, rather than devoting our destiny to contribute to the West and make consumption. , If this is the case, why do we have to leave the teaching?" Samantabhadra did not give in at all. In his opinion, Patriarch Bodhi's request was a bit too much, and he used the luck of people like them to do those stupid things crazily. Their actions caused them to suffer losses, which was an unacceptable result. If this was the case, they had no choice but to abandon this path.

Good people are bullied. They are just too 'good' and don't know how to ask for benefits from Patriarch Bodhi. That's why they fell into such a crisis and were bullied by Lu Ya. Now they can no longer give in. .

In an instant, the scene reached an embarrassing level. Samantabhadra was determined not to give in, and Patriarch Bodhi was unwilling to pay such a high price, so the conflict between them was directly reflected, making both of them look very embarrassed. It’s embarrassing, and they are all in a dilemma. Everyone has a reason to be afraid, and no one is willing to continue to give in.

"How are you thinking, saint?" Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi had not spoken for a long time, Samantabhadra had no choice but to ask again. His patience had been worn out, and he was already ready to break up.If I continue to stay in such a West where there is no hope, will I have a chance to break through the bottleneck and become a powerful quasi-sage?It's difficult, it's difficult, there's almost no hope. After all, Patriarch Bodhi is not very friendly to people like them.

"Friend Ran Deng, do you think so too?" At this time, Patriarch Bodhi had to turn his attention to the ancient Buddha Ran Deng, wanting to hear Ran Deng's thoughts and understand Ran Deng's thoughts. After all, this It's all crazy. "Sage, Samantabhadra and the others were persuaded by me, and you agreed to all this at the beginning. Now everyone has gained nothing. What do you want me to think?" There was also a hint of disappointment on Ran Deng's face. He lost trust in Patriarch Bodhi and repeatedly used himself as a shield, which made Ran Deng extremely disappointed in his heart.

"It seems that we can't get everything we want. Even if the so-called great prosperity of the West is possible, we people can still get some benefits. The ancient Buddha of Randen has also been deceived. Let's leave. The Tao is different. , we don’t want to work together, there is no need for us to stay any longer, there is no hope in the West.” At this time, the idea of ​​​​breakup in Samantabhadra Bodhisattva’s heart has fully bloomed, and there is no longer any illusion.

When Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said these words, Patriarch Bodhi looked horrified. He felt the shock of Western destiny. Samantabhadra was not lying or making fun of himself, but he really had such an idea. , really want to break away from the West, and do not want to stay in this West where there is no hope.

Not only the ancestor Bodhi was shocked, but also the two saints Zhunti and Jieyin who had gone far away into the chaos were also shocked. They also felt the shock of the destiny of the west and were shocked by this sudden change.Why did the destiny of the West suddenly change like this? Could it be that something big happened in the West?

"Senior brother, should we return to the ancient times? Will the shock of the western destiny bring disaster to us?" At this time, Saint Zhunti no longer had the composure before, and there was already a dignified look in his eyes.

"No, we are not in a hurry to go back. If there is a problem in the West, it will be useless for us to return now. After we go back, it will be too late. Now we can only face all this cautiously. Don't If we rush to make a decision, if we find that the situation is not as dangerous as we imagined after we go back, wouldn't it be a waste of our precious time and energy? It's not too late to wait until the matter has a result before making a decision!"

Saint Jieying was also very worried and scared in his heart, but he felt that at this time, he had to be more cautious. If he made a wrong decision in a moment of excitement, it would bring devastating disaster to them and bring disaster to the West. A devastating disaster.

At this time, we need to be more cautious, and the great prosperity of the West in the next kalpa is the general trend of heaven. Such a situation at this time is likely to be caused by internal disputes in the West. As long as Patriarch Bodhi can handle everything in time, then There won't be any problems, and it's just a shock, not a real crash.

"Brother, I'm worried that Bodhi's lack of ability will ruin our major events in the West, and I'm worried that Ran Deng won't be able to bear it anymore. After all, the price he paid is a bit high. If there is no suitable compensation, it will inevitably lead to him doing some extreme things. This can be proven by his actions and his ability to break away from the teaching!"

"I know, but we are already in chaos. Even if we go back, it is too late. We believe in Bodhi, believe in the West, and believe in the way of heaven. Unless the way of heaven wants to see our west go to collapse and destruction, otherwise it will not be here. At this time, this situation has plunged the West into an impossible situation."

That's true, but who can remain calm in the face of all this?It's difficult, it's difficult. Saint Zhunti is so nervous because of the situation. If it really gets to that point, the consequences will be disastrous.Today's situation in the West is not as simple as it appears. Both Zhunti and Jieyin understand this.

In order to develop and strengthen the West, they spare no effort to explain and intercept the teachings. Therefore, the West is now like a plate of scattered sand. Even if there are the original powers of the West such as Bodhi Patriarch and Maitreya Buddha to mediate it, it may not be possible to make everything possible. If their hearts are set on making everything develop in the direction they want, when their interests conflict, conflicts between them may break out, making the situation out of control!
