Chapter 1765 Xuanzang Breaks Through!
After hearing Tathagata's words, Ao Lie smiled and said nothing, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
Bodhisattva status?
If Tathagata wants to win over himself, doesn't he know how to pay a little more?
A mere Bodhisattva wants to bribe him. Could it be that the Tathagata thinks that even the Dragon Clan of the West Sea has never seen the world?
In the past, Ao Lie could only agree due to the intimidation of Buddhism.
But now that the Buddhist saint has fallen, the new saint has not yet been born, and he has offended a super powerful being like Xiao Tian who can kill saints. Where did this Tathagata get the confidence to think that he, Ao Lie, would be afraid of the power of Buddhism?
"Little White Dragon, why don't you come forward and thank the World Honored One?" Manjushri Bodhisattva on the side frowned slightly and reminded him.
"Dare you let the World Honored One know that this journey was difficult and dangerous, and it was all thanks to Brother Monkey to subdue the demons. Master and the two senior brothers helped with all their strength. None of them had received a reward, how could Ao Lie dare to get in front of them?
The World Honored One might as well reward the master and several senior brothers first, and then it would not be too late to reward Ao Lie. "
After hearing the words of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Ao Lie smiled faintly and cupped his hands at Tathagata.
Although he never thought about accepting a reward from Buddhism, he finally found a justifiable reason.
"Well, that makes sense." The Tathagata has ruled Buddhism for tens of thousands of years. How can you not hear the hidden meaning in Ao Lie's words? However, Ao Lie did not break through the window paper after all, which can be regarded as saving face for Buddhism.
Therefore, although Tathagata was angry in his heart, he still followed the words of Xiao Bailong and said: "In this case, Xuanzang comes forward to listen to the seal."
Originally, according to Ao Lie's words, Sun Wukong should be the one who made the greatest contribution, and he should reward Sun Wukong first.
However, Tathagata also knew in his heart that as Xiao Tian's disciple, Sun Wukong would never accept a reward from Buddhism. In order not to embarrass himself, Tathagata wisely bypassed Sun Wukong.
"Your Majesty, the World Honored One, Xuanzang did not have much merit in this trip. He just put in some effort. On the contrary, it was my disciples who subdued demons and made great achievements. Please, World Honored One, please reward these disciples of mine first."
Upon hearing Tathagata's words, Xuanzang made a Buddhist salute to Tathagata and said respectfully.
"Xuan Zang, although you didn't contribute much on this trip, you still led the team all the way over the mountains, which is considered hard work. You don't have to refuse," Guanyin on the side quickly advised after hearing this.
"Venerable Guanyin is right, Xuanzang stepped forward to listen to the seal," Tathagata nodded and said solemnly.
Xuanzang sensed some murderous intent in Tathagata's words, and his heart trembled slightly, and then he said respectfully: "Xuanzang is here."
"Yes," the Tathagata nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Zang, you came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. You traveled under the stars and at night. You went through many hardships and dangers in order to inherit the Mahayana Buddhism. Now I canonize you as the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit."
"Thank you Buddha," Xuanzang hesitated for a moment under the gaze of Tathagata, and then said respectfully.
Although he has inherited the luck to lead the saints, he is still too weak now. What's more, if he wants to split Buddhism, it is necessary to accept a Buddhist status. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to steal Qi from Buddhism. transport.
Therefore, Xuanzang only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
As Xuanzang finished speaking, a large amount of luck manifested out of thin air and rushed toward Xuanzang. With the addition of luck, Xuanzang's cultivation level, which had stopped at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, began to rise rapidly.
A large amount of purple energy emerged behind Xuanzang and spread around...
