After hesitating for a while, the Buddha continued: "As for your loss, it will be borne solely by the Buddha."
This time, it cannot be said that it was all the fault of Sunlight Bodhisattva. After all, Sunlight Bodhisattva would not have touched the Sun Staff if not for Jiang Hao's plan.
Shaking his head, Sunlight Bodhisattva calmly replied: "Senior brother, I'm serious. It's my incompetence that caused me to fall into someone else's scheme. How can I let Buddhism bear the loss for me?"
"It's just a few small things, junior brother can still bear it."
Although Tathagata Buddha had good intentions, Sunlight Bodhisattva was obviously unwilling to accept his favor.
After all, Buddhism is not monolithic, and Sunlight Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha are not of the same mind. One is a native Western disciple, and the other is an outsider. How can they have a good relationship?
Today, Sunlight Bodhisattva has accepted Tathagata Buddha's favor, so how can he go against him in the future? Therefore, Sunlight Bodhisattva would rather suffer losses than accept Tathagata Buddha's favor.
The blessings of the saints of Tuo Chunti who go around to save all living beings can be said to be numerous in Buddhism, among which the four major sects are the most powerful.
The number one ranking is the Jie Sect faction headed by Tathagata Buddha. Although this faction is an outsider, the power of Buddhism is in their hands.
Ranked second is the ancient Western sect dominated by Milai Buddha and Medicine Master Tathagata. Nikko Bodhisattva is a member of this sect and is also a high-ranking member of it.
This faction is the orthodoxy of Buddhism and is a native creature of the Western land.
Unfortunately, because they failed to live up to their expectations, the power of Buddhism fell to the outsider, Tathagata Buddha. Therefore, their relationship with Tathagata Buddha was not very harmonious.
The third ranked group is the Chan Sect faction headed by the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights. The fourth ranked group is the Monster Clan faction headed by the Great Sun Tathagata.
In addition to these four major sects, Buddhism also has other small sects, such as the Eight Buddhism Buddhism, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, etc.
Its factions are so complex that it is really difficult to sort them out.
Lingshan is not a pure land of bliss. There are so many factions here, and the intrigues and fights for power among them are too numerous to count.
It's even more complicated than a mortal court.

"Well, since my junior brother insists on doing this, there's nothing I can do to persuade him." Seeing Sunlight Bodhisattva insisting, Tathagata Buddha didn't insist either.
He said this just because he was sure that Sunlight Bodhisattva would not agree. If Sunlight Bodhisattva really agreed, Tathagata Buddha would not say this.
Of course, even if he really spoke up, the final loss would be caused by the Western sect and would not fall on him.
Western sects don't like Tathagata Buddha, so why would Tathagata Buddha like them? They all wish that the other party would never recover.
Seeing Sunlight Bodhisattva's misfortune, perhaps Tathagata Buddha was secretly feeling happy.
As for the bitter bamboo he lost, it was nothing at all. The Two Western Saints would compensate him twice as much. Who said that Sunlight Bodhisattva was a disciple of Chunti Saint? If a disciple has a problem, the teacher will naturally come in to wipe it out.
Even if Sunlight Bodhisattva couldn't see Tathagata Buddha's thoughts, he could still guess a rough idea. He snorted coldly and said to him:
"Senior brother, I would like to trouble you to return the Sun Scepter to the Jiang family. As for me, junior brother, I have been humiliated today and am too embarrassed to meet all of you."
"Let's just say that I am fully aware of the seriousness of my sins and have committed greed, and I am determined to imprison myself in the Demon Sealing Tower for a hundred years to atone for my sins."
After saying that, Sunlight Bodhisattva bowed to Tathagata Buddha and walked towards the Demon Sealing Pagoda.
After all, the Jiang family must give an explanation for this matter, and just returning the Sun Scepter is not enough. Therefore, Sunlight Bodhisattva imprisoned himself in the Demon Tower just to give the Jiang family an explanation.
"hey-hey!"
"Jiang Hao, this poor monk Qiu has taken note of it. We will never finish it from now on."
Sunlight Bodhisattva, who was walking towards the Demon-Sealing Tower, couldn't help but clenched his fists when he thought of what he had experienced today. He was plotted against others without realizing it, and suffered huge losses. What a humiliation this was.
For a time, Sunlight Bodhisattva's hatred for Jiang Hao reached its peak.
If he doesn't take revenge, he may never be able to find the right path.
Similarly, if he can't get the Sun Scepter back, his thoughts won't be clear.
The relationship between him and the Jiang family was finally forged.
"Alas!" Looking at Sunlight Bodhisattva's retreating figure, Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but shook his head.
What a pity for this man.
If Sunlight Bodhisattva could let go of his hatred, he might not be able to immediately attain enlightenment and achieve the quasi-sage path.
With the power of the two Western Saints, could it really be that they couldn't detect Jiang Hao's plot? Jiang Hao was not Emperor Fuxi, so how could He De be able to hide it from the perception of the two Saints?
The reason why they didn't take action was just to take this opportunity to bring Sunlight Bodhisattva one step closer. When Sunlight Bodhisattva reaches the quasi-sage realm, the Jiang family will be in trouble.
This is how the calculations between experts are. You think you are plotting against me, but in fact, I am also plotting against you. It just depends on who is more skilled.
It's a pity that the Second Sage of the West lost this time. Instead of seeing through the gains and losses, Sunlight Bodhisattva fell into obsession and thought about revenge.
But how can the Jiang family be so easy to deal with?
The waters of this clan are so deep that even Tathagata Buddha can't figure out the depth. Why did a strong man from the ancient witch clan reincarnate into the Jiang family and receive strong training from the Jiang family?
There are deep secrets hidden inside.
You must know that the Jiang family did not become glorious because of Emperor Yan. Long before Emperor Yan was born, the tribe surnamed Jiang was one of the most powerful forces in the human race.
It was unwise for Sunlight Bodhisattva to choose to be the enemy of the Jiang family.
If Buddhism is monolithic, of course Sunlight Bodhisattva does not need to be afraid of the Jiang family, or even the other way around. The Buddhism with two saints is definitely far stronger than the Jiang family.
But the problem is that Buddhism is not monolithic. There are many mountains in it, and many people are waiting to see the joke of Sunlight Bodhisattva.
When these people see that Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Jiang family are enemies, let alone helping each other secretly, it is enough if they do not stumble secretly.
In Buddhism, the struggle between local forces and outsiders is far more intense than the world imagines. This is a conflict that even saints cannot resolve.
Sunlight Bodhisattva and Jiang Hao are enemies. The biggest difficulty comes not from the Jiang family, but from within Buddhism.
Of course, if in this situation, Sunlight Bodhisattva can still defeat Jiang Hao, or even plot against him, then Sunlight Bodhisattva can use this to relieve his obsession and achieve the holy status in one fell swoop.
The quasi-sage state achieved in this way is far more powerful than the quasi-sage state achieved by letting go.
Perhaps, this is also one of the saint's calculations.
Before reaching that state, who can truly understand the thoughts of the sage? The sage’s calculations are like an antelope hanging its horns from the beginning, and there is no trace to be found.
