Sun Wukong struggled in his heart, but finally chose to compromise.
No more excuses to Tathagata.
Eight hundred years is just eight hundred years, what’s so great about it!
He was trapped under Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years. If he could persist, he can do it for eight hundred years! ??
What's more, Zhu Bajie is with him this time, so the two of them can still have company!
So, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie exchanged glances, bowed to Tathagata, and prepared to retreat.
Go to Wuzhishan for confinement on your own.
"Eight hundred years is too long, isn't it?"
Unexpectedly, before the two of them had taken a few steps, a familiar voice reached their ears.
The two of them subconsciously stopped.
The next second, the two of them saw a familiar figure appearing next to Tathagata!
"Debt collector!!!"
"Old Qin..."
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie shouted in unison.
The Tathagata sat upright on the lotus platform and turned his head reflexively.
When he saw Qin Tian, who was standing not far from him, with a calm face that was neither sad nor happy, he couldn't help but feel a surprised look on his face.
Of course, this surprise was fleeting and he immediately returned to his original appearance.
Slowly said "!Why are you here?"
This is the first time for Qin Tian to see Tathagata Buddha!
This Buddhist master has a kind face and seems to be no different from an ordinary monk.
But when he stared at the other person for a while, he felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart!
This kind of pressure will not cause harm to his body. It is as if there is a big mountain pressing on his heart, making him feel heavy and unable to breathe...
Under this situation, Qin Tian glanced at Tathagata and quickly looked away.
Look at Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Take a look at Daleiyin Temple.
Immediately, Qin Tian deliberately walked from Tathagata to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
During the process, he pretended that nothing happened and said calmly, "I learned that you, Buddha, want to punish the great sage and the messenger of the altar, so I came here to explain to them and ask for mercy..."
"Great Sage, the envoy of the Pure Altar went to the mortal world just because he was kind-hearted and worried about my safety!"
"They started fighting against mortals in the mortal world because those mortals were not good people and they came to provoke us first..."
"To use a word from the mortal world, their behavior is legitimate self-defense! This kind of behavior is reasonable and legal even in the mortal world!"
"So, Buddha, you want to imprison the Great Sage and the Purifying Altar Messenger for eight hundred years because of this. It is really unreasonable!"
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had already given up struggling and were preparing to go to Wuzhishan.
Now after listening to Qin Tian's words, hope was rekindled in their hearts!
At the same time, the two of them were full of gratitude to Qin Tian!
The other party was so interesting that he helped their master and disciple several times. This time, for him and his wife, he traveled thousands of miles and made a special trip to Lingshan to explain and intercede for them in front of the Tathagata!
Whether it was Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie, their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Qin Tian.
Its richness is so strong that it almost condenses into substance and overflows.
"Forehead!!!"
Qin Tian felt it and was shocked!
He came to the two of them, coughed deliberately and said, "Ahem, don't worry, we are friends. If you have difficulties, I will definitely not sit idly by and ignore them!"
Immediately, his eyes returned to Tathagata, but he
No longer looked directly at the other person's face.
"Buddha, do you think what I said is reasonable?"
"Well..." Tathagata pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense!"
Qin Tian, Sun Wukong, and Zhu Bajie were all delighted.
If the other party admits that they are justified, is there any chance that the punishment of eight hundred years of confinement for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie can be canceled or reduced?
Qin Tian took advantage of the situation and continued, "Then Buddha, your punishment for the great sage and the messenger of the altar..."
He was only halfway through his words when Tathagata said, "Some time ago, we cooperated with the Heavenly Court to conquer the Unable Palace, but something unexpected happened. It was you who took action, so Jianglong and the others had a chance to come back alive..."
"Since you came here to plead for mercy in person, I still have to give you this face!"
What Qin Tian didn't know was that after Jiang Long and other Eighteen Arhats came back, they said a lot of good things about Qin Tian when they reported to Tathagata the situation of the expedition against the Lawless Hall.
He said that if it weren't for Qin Tian, they would probably all be buried in the lair of the Lawless Hall, but it was Qin Tian who saved their lives!
Of course, these are also facts!
"I can promise you to reduce the punishment for Wukong and Bajie, or even exempt them from punishment..."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were excited.
"Thank you Buddha, thank you Buddha!"
"Debt collector, I will never forget this kindness, old pig, forever..."
Zhu Bajie excitedly expressed his gratitude to Tathagata and Qin Tian.
Tathagata gently raised his big hand, interrupted his words, and said to Qin Tian, "I can agree to your request! But I want to ask you a few questions!"
Qin Tian shrugged his shoulders, "Buddha, if you have any questions, it's okay to ask!"
"Have you ever thought about joining Buddhism?" "What the hell???"
Qin Tian's face was filled with shock.
Not only him, but also Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie all showed shocked expressions.
Tathagata seemed to have expected this reaction from him and was not surprised.
For a moment, he didn't mean to beat around the bush and said more bluntly, "Monks don't lie. I admire you very much and want to invite you to join Buddhism. I wonder if you are willing?"
Qin Tian's strength is outstanding. He can enter and leave the Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm at will. No matter whether it is the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother or Luo Hu, they can't trap each other!
Such a talented person, Tathagata wants to absorb him into Buddhism and use it for Buddhism!
If Qin Tian can become a member of the Buddhist sect, then their Buddhist sect's strength will be even greater!
The corners of Qin Tian's mouth twitched, and black lines appeared all over his face.
Then, without any hesitation, he shook his head and refused, "Buddha, stop joking! I am used to being free and do not want to join any force!"
"Besides, I don't want to be a monk. To be honest, I already have a wife, more than one!"
"So it's not appropriate for me to join Buddhism..."
Zhu Bajie reacted and couldn't help but said, "Yes, Buddha, the debt collector already has a wife, and Fairy Chang'e is also married to him. There is no way he can join our Buddhist sect!"
Sun Wukong was surprised when he heard Tathagata's words at first, but he soon felt relieved.
For talents like Qin Tian, it is normal for various forces to compete to woo him and use them for their own purposes!
Tathagata is no exception!
After listening to Qin Tian and Zhu Bajie's words, Tathagata sat on the lotus platform, thought for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"If you are willing to join Buddhism, I can grant you some privileges!"
