Whether it's praise or insult, the two sages of the West don't care. They regard it as a passing thing and are very open-minded.
You can say that they are thick-skinned, of course, you can also say that they are lofty and lofty, and everything is not in their way. This is a reflection of their profound state of mind.
As for how to understand it specifically, it depends on the relationship with the Two Saints of the West. Those who hate them will naturally think that they are thick-skinned and have no dignity at all.
If you worship the two saints of the West, you will naturally understand them as images of masters with profound realms who are not moved by words.

…………
After a long time, Nuwa Empress said: "Today, I finally know why Sanqing is clearly stronger than you two, but still can't beat you."
"Because Sanqing wants to be proud and has a bottom line in his actions. But you don't want to, and you have no bottom line in what you do. In this case, how can they defeat you?"
As soon as he said this, the two saints Zhunti and Yin had not yet expressed anything. Sanqing, who was watching the excitement from the side, turned completely dark.
The words of Empress Nuwa sounded like she was scolding the Second Sage of the West, but the underlying meaning behind her words was that they, the Three Pure Ones, were not the opponents of the Second Sage of the West.
How could Sanqing, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, be happy when he heard this? It was so hard for him to eat melon that he felt numb!
In an instant, Sanqing lost the mood to watch the fun.
The Second Sage of the West has no intention of arguing with Empress Nuwa. Right now, it is not the time for a debate. It is better to let the people withdraw their troops first.
Otherwise, every time the human Taoist Master stays in Lingshan, Buddhism will suffer greater losses.
Taking a deep breath, Saint Zhunti said in a deep voice: "Empress Nuwa, how can you be willing to retreat?"
Although the strength of Saint Zhunti is at the bottom among the Six Saints, he has been behind several great catastrophes in the prehistoric times. He is a figure that cannot be ignored.
During the Lich Tribulation, it was Saint Zhunti who released the Ten Golden Crows imprisoned in Tanggu by Emperor Jun, which triggered a series of events that followed, leading to the outbreak of the Lich Decisive Battle.
Saint Zhunti released the Ten Golden Crows, which was the trigger for the decisive battle between the lich and the lich.
During the period of being a god, Saint Zhunti secretly tampered with him, which caused King Zhou's temperament to change drastically, from a wise monarch to a tyrant.
The two great catastrophes of heaven and earth were both related to Zhunti, but unfortunately, many people knew that it was the work of Saint Zhunti, but they could not provide any evidence.
Saint Zhunti acted according to the instructions of Heaven, and all his hands and feet were cleared by Heaven. How could he be caught by everyone?
Therefore, Empress Nuwa knew clearly that these things were done by Saint Zhunti, but because she could not find any evidence, she could not find trouble with him.
But there is no evidence for these things, but the matter of Sun Wukong is right in front of us, and Saint Zhunti can't deny it even if he wants to.
Pointing at Sun Wukong who was violently beaten by Jiang Chen, Empress Nuwa said to Saint Zhunti: "Pindao, how do you want to explain this Sky-Mending Stone, fellow Taoist Zhunti?"
This problem is not difficult for Saint Zhunti. As early as when he was training Sun Wukong, he had already planned for this in his mind and had already made up the reasons.
After taking a look at Sun Wukong, I heard Saint Zhunti say with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Nuwa is talking about Wukong. When the poor monk accepted him as his disciple, he did not say hello to fellow Taoist in advance. This is indeed the poor monk's fault."
"But this can't be entirely blamed on the poor monk. When Wukong was born, Taoist Nuwa was in retreat. Even if the poor monk wanted to tell the Taoist friend, he couldn't do it."
"Moreover, Wukong was born with a defect and was extremely weak when he was born. The poor monk was also afraid that something would happen to him, so he accepted him as his disciple. The purpose was also to protect him, and he had no intention of plotting against his fellow Taoists."
Hearing this, Empress Nuwa laughed angrily.
According to what Saint Zhunti said, it was all her fault. Was it for her own good that Saint Zhunti did this?
"What a sharp-tongued thief, he is really good at talking. This method of confusing right and wrong is more impressive than your strength."
At this point, Empress Nuwa suddenly changed the topic and said coldly: "However, Pindao is not Sanqing, and he will not reason with you. Pindao took action today just to vent his anger. No matter how eloquent you are, it will not matter.
use."
Empress Nuwa plans to fall out with the Second Saint of the West.
Look, are the words that Saint Zhunti said a sign of submission? They are obviously looking for trouble. In this case, Empress Nuwa will not let them get used to them, and she will beat them if they want, no matter what nonsense.
Seeing the attitude of Empress Nuwa, Saint Zhunti immediately understood that he had exerted too much force and opened his mouth, wanting to say something soft and submissive to ease the atmosphere.
However, before he could speak, the saint who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke: "Junior brother, please speak less."
When Saint Zhunti heard the words, he was obedient and kept silent. But Saint Yingying said to Nuwa Empress with a sad look on his face: "Fellow Taoist Nuwa, you accepted Sun Wukong as your disciple without saying hello to you first.
This is indeed something wrong with my Buddhist practice.”
"Here, I, the poor monk, will make amends to you!"
After saying this, he led the saint to bend down and bowed to Nuwa.
The sage's outburst made Nuwa a little bit at a loss, and she couldn't say anything offensive at the moment.
You are both a saint, and people have apologized to you with great gifts. This sincerity is enough, what else do you want?
Empress Nuwa was silent and did not speak. She was waiting for the sage to speak and tell her the solution to the matter. If the price paid by the Second Sage of the West satisfied her, then the matter would be over.
Seeing that Nuwa was silent and the look of sorrow on Saint Jieyin's face became more intense, he heard him say: "Fellow Taoist Nuwa also knows that the great prosperity of Buddhism is determined by the way of heaven, it is destiny, it is the general trend, and it cannot be changed.
, and cannot be disobeyed.”
Empress Nuwa knew this for sure. Back then, in order to become a saint, the two saints in the West made forty-eight great wishes in one breath using the Great Borrowing Technique. They borrowed immeasurable merit from the Dao of Heaven, and thus succeeded in becoming a saint.
It is these merits that make the Two Saints of the West attract the attention of Heaven and keep an eye on them. It is impossible not to keep an eye on them. If the Two Saints of the West run away, Heaven will suffer a great loss.
Heaven is also afraid of losing money!
It can be said that the most failed investment made by Tiandao was to lend his merits to the Two Saints of the West, which made him anxious all day long for fear of losing money.
The so-called great prosperity of Buddhism is related to these merits. Tiandao was afraid that the two sages of the West would not be able to fulfill their great aspirations and would suffer losses, so he took great care of the two sages of the west.
The great rise of Buddhism was born based on this point. It was the opportunity given by Heaven to the two saints in the West to fulfill their great aspirations.
As long as you owe enough money, then you are the creditor's uncle. This sentence is true even for heaven.
Of course, Heaven has given the opportunity to the Second Sage of the West. If they still can't do it, or fail to let Heaven see the desired effect, then the fate of the Second Sage of the West will be really worrying.
Sometimes, immortality is more cruel than death.
…
The words "receiving saints" are clearly telling Empress Nuwa that the great prosperity of Buddhism is God's will, and even if she is a saint, she can't stop it.
But the secret meaning is that this great rise in the West is extremely important to the future of my two senior fellow apprentices.
If anyone dares to sabotage it, then my brothers and I won’t mind dragging him to be buried with him before something happens.
Indeed, the future is gone, so what else is there to fear from the Second Sage of the West? If they fall out, they will fall out. It is best for everyone to finish the game together. This way, they will be in good company when they leave.
Empress Nuwa heard the meaning of welcoming the saint. Instantly, her face darkened and she looked at the saint coldly.
There is a saying that a biting dog never barks. This saint, the receptionist, usually seems quite honest and doesn't speak much. But he didn't expect that this opening was so fierce, much more ruthless than the saint of Zhunti.
No wonder Saint Zhunti always leads the saints to follow suit. It turns out that this person is the real ruthless person.
However, Empress Nuwa was not frightened by the words of the saint. After all, she was also the supreme emperor of heaven and earth and the supreme emperor of heaven. What kind of storms and waves has she not seen or experienced?
The saint wanted to scare her with his words, but he thought too much. Wouldn't it mean that we would die together? Who is afraid of whom? Is it true that heaven is a vegetarian?
He also knew that he could not scare the Nuwa Empress. He was just trying to show his attitude by welcoming the saint. Only in this way could the conversation continue.
"Fellow Taoist Nuwa, my junior brother accepted Sun Wukong as his disciple, and he did have the intention of using him. However, our Buddhist sect has not treated him badly. We have already prepared the top fruition status for him in Lingshan. As soon as he becomes a Buddha, we can use it to
This establishes a foundation that is enough to become a quasi-sage."
"In the future, I may not be able to become the Buddha's World Honored One. Isn't this enough?"
"Now, although he has suffered some grievances, these are the tribulations he must go through before becoming enlightened. As long as he gets through these tribulations, he will have a bright future."
This is a deal and a guarantee.
The meaning of welcoming the saint is very obvious. As long as the Nuwa Empress is willing to hand over Sun Wukong to Buddhism, then they will definitely train Sun Wukong to the realm of quasi-sage at all costs.
Afterwards, if Sun Wukong succeeds, it is not impossible to let him become the head teacher of Buddhism.
To be honest, from the perspective of Nuwa, she naturally does not want her people to join Buddhism. But if we think about it from another perspective, who can resist the temptation of a quasi-sage and a Buddhist headmaster?
Empress Nuwa believed that she was sure to train Sun Wukong to the realm of innate Taoism, but she was unable to train him into a quasi-sage.
This is not to say that Empress Nuwa is inferior to the two saints of the West, but in order to cultivate the human race, Empress Nuwa has exhausted her family resources.
The treasure house of the Wa Palace has long been empty.
On the one hand, it was her own face, and on the other hand, it was Sun Wukong's future. In the end, Nuwa Empress compromised, gave up her own face, and chose Sun Wukong's future.
Empress Nuwa had already felt guilty for not bringing Sun Wukong back to the Wa Palace as soon as he was born. Now, how could she ruin Sun Wukong's future as a good person for the sake of her own face?
Besides, what is face compared to the future?
…
"Remember what you said today. If you can't do it, then the poor Taoist will personally destroy Buddhism." After a deep look at the welcoming saint, Empress Nuwa gave the order for the human Taoist to retreat.
In an instant, in the chaos outside the sky, the human power calmly retreated, no longer entangled with the Buddhist power. He allowed the Buddhist power to return to the Western Spirit Mountain in a state of embarrassment.
At the same time, the seventy-two innate Taoist masters of the human race quickly swept away the Lingshan Mountain and left in a hurry.
The Lingshan Mountain was destroyed, and the Daleiyin Temple was also destroyed. Nuwa's purpose of venting her anger was achieved. Even if she gave in, it would be okay. Anyway, it was Buddhism that suffered the loss.
Seeing that Nuwa had given in, Saint Jieying breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not forget to express quickly: "Fellow Nuwa, don't worry, this poor monk still has this reputation, and he will never let Sun Wukong suffer any injustice in Buddhism.
"
After saying that, the Second Saint of the West left in a hurry. This was the follow-up to the matter at Lingshan.
…
After the two left, Empress Nuwa's attitude suddenly changed. She changed her previous helpless look and said disdainfully: "It's really good for you to play a double act in front of me, one singing the red face, the other the white face, the two saints of the West."
of."
"Do you really think that this is the end of what happened today?"
"hehe!"
With a sneer, Nuwa Empress suddenly issued an order: "Inform Jiang Chen and ask him to suppress Sun Wukong before Tathagata takes action, and never give Tathagata a chance to contact Sun Wukong."
Next to Empress Nuwa, the girl did not convey her instructions immediately after hearing her instructions. Instead, she looked at her hesitantly.
Seeing her expression, Nuwa Empress guessed what the girl was thinking, and said with some humor: "Don't worry, Jiang Chen is not as simple as you think. Although I don't know what methods he has, I also know that he
It is not difficult to suppress Sun Wukong."
After Sun Wukong devoured the essence and blood of the Chaos Demon God, his strength greatly increased. Nvwa was worried that Jiang Chen would not be able to suppress him and would ruin the affairs of Nuwa Empress, so she did not convey the empress' order at the first time.
But now, after listening to the explanation of the Empress Nuwa, although Nuwa was surprised by Jiang Chen's methods, she did not dare to neglect and quickly conveyed the order to Jiang Chen.
…
In Hezhou, Xiniu, Tathagata looked at the devastated Lingshan Mountain, which looked like bandits passing through, and the fragments of the Great Leiyin Temple all over the ground. He was really shocked and angry in his heart.
But he also knew that now was not the time to worry about these things, it was more important to contact the Jade Emperor first and proceed according to the original plan.
Now that Buddhism's luck has declined, it is even more important to make mistakes in its journey to the west. Otherwise, if there is a mistake in the journey to the west, Buddhism will really lose money to the point of vomiting blood.
On the contrary, if the journey to the west is completed, Buddhism will be prosperous immediately, and the current decline in luck will not be worth mentioning.
Instructing the Buddhas to clean the Lingshan Mountain, Tathagata Buddha sat cross-legged on the ground, contacting the Jade Emperor while suppressing the injuries in his body.
Although Tathagata is strong, his opponent is the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, who is even more powerful, almost equal to the saint, and far superior to the Buddha.
Especially the Xuanyuan Sword in the hand of the Human Emperor is known as the most acquired killing treasure, the sharpest acquired weapon, and unparalleled in the world.
