Chapter 1777 Xuanzang Has a Weak Virtue, Please Hire Someone Wiser!

Hearing Tathagata's words, Xuanzang smiled faintly, with a hint of hidden disdain flashing in his eyes, and said softly: "Xuanzang understands the kindness of the World Honored One, but Xuanzang has a weak virtue and may not be able to lead all the sages of Buddhism."

As soon as Xuanzang said these words, everyone in the Main Hall had different reactions.

Sun Wukong already knew what Xuanzang was thinking, so he was not surprised at this moment. He just held the golden hoop and glanced at the gods and Buddhas around him. During this period, he froze for a moment on the faces of Maitreya Buddha, the Dragon Subduing Arhat and others. , then his eyes fell on Tathagata's face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, a little more playful.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng looked at Xuanzang with surprised expressions. The position of the leader of Buddhism is not a stubborn stone that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. Even now, the reputation of Buddhism has plummeted after Sun Wukong made such a fuss.

But the deterrent power of Buddhism cannot be ignored. After all, today's Buddhism is still the protagonist of this immeasurable calamity and is favored by the fate of heaven and earth. The eastward migration of Buddhism is also the general trend. The heaven that has now been divided into three cannot stop it. .

Unless something happens to Buddhism and Buddhism has no time to take care of itself, otherwise, the rise of Buddhism is inevitable!

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Xuanzang inherits the position of the leader of Buddhism, his status in the Three Realms will instantly be elevated to the same level as Zhunti and the leader of Tongtian Cult, Yuanshi Tianzun, and others.

Otherwise, Xuanzang is just a newly promoted saint with insufficient foundation. Without Xiao Tian's heaven-defying combat power, it would be difficult for him to be recognized by the saints in the Three Realms!

In the eyes of Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, Xuanzang's rejection of Tathagata's invitation was undoubtedly a ticket to the top circle of existence in the Three Realms!

"Master..." Zhu Bajie beat his feet and chest for a while, his eyes fell on Xuanzang, and he said regretfully: "You are confused!"

Originally, he thought that he was Xuanzang's disciple. Whether it was active or passive, at least he had such an identity here. Once Xuanzang inherited the position of the leader of Buddhism, he could also pull Xuanzang's tiger skin. As a banner, his status in the Three Realms will not be as embarrassing as it is now.

Now that Xuanzang has rejected Tathagata's invitation, his plan will naturally come to nothing. Without the backing of Buddhism, even if Xuanzang is a saint, his status in the Three Realms will be extremely limited.

It should be noted that among the many saints in the Three Realms, except for Xiao Tian, ​​who is not supported by a huge force behind him?

Even Empress Nuwa, who has always stayed in the Snail Palace and refused to interfere with external affairs, has a huge demon clan behind her!

Sha Seng's thoughts were similar to Zhu Bajie's, but as an undercover agent sent by the Jade Emperor, he didn't care too much about Xuanzang's decision.

His mission was to find ways to sabotage this Buddhist eastward journey. Even if he couldn't stop it, he would still have to make Buddhism spend more effort. Therefore, Xuanzang's rejection of Tathagata's invitation was actually a good thing for him.

If Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk's thoughts were just a little regretful, then Tathagata and the others were already thinking a lot at this moment.

Guanshiyin looked at Xuanzang with a look of confusion in her eyes. She didn't understand how Xuanzang could resist the temptation.

You must know that even if her Zen mind is as firm as hers, she can't help but be impulsive when faced with the position of leader of the Buddhist sect.

Avalokitesvara believed that if Tathagata really abdicated the throne and let her serve as the leader of Buddhism, she would definitely agree without any hesitation!
