I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 109: Observing the Guanyin Method (Update)
The first statue in the paradise is Namo Maitreya, the laughing monk!
In the temple of Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva sits upright.

"Buddha Donglai, before my Buddha entered the Hades, I asked you to consider and make a move in the future, hoping to gain a little more good results for my Buddhist sect. I wonder what you would do?"

Maitreya Buddha fiddled with a lotus in his hand, a smile on his face the whole time: "My journey to the West has immeasurable merits, which have fulfilled my karma number in the West. As for the placement of the pieces, I, the Buddha, will make my own arrangements, but it is not my turn."

Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up and placed one hand on his chest, holding a seal: "The future of the Eastern Buddha is the will of my Dharma. I hope that the Eastern Buddha will not refuse."

Although the words were spoken insolently, Maitreya Buddha seemed not to notice and simply threw the lotus in his hand into the pond. Immediately, ripples appeared in all directions.

"A single move can affect the entire body. The ancient Buddha Dipankara proved this with his life, and the Venerable is even more so. Two Dharma bodies, two strands of good karma. Does the Bodhisattva really think this is a good deal? In the eyes of the Bodhisattva, do I also have to attain Nirvana?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the pool, and the ripples gradually calmed down. "That's not my intention. If the Buddha from the East doesn't make a move, will I let them divide my merits from the West?"

"What should the Bodhisattva think?"

"Build another Lingshan in front of Lingshan. If the merits of traveling west can enter my Lingshan, then let them go. If not, kill them all!" Guanyin Bodhisattva's voice was not loud, but the murderous intent hidden in his words seemed to penetrate the paradise.

The smile on Maitreya Buddha's lips disappeared, and his entire gaze fell on Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was calm and fearless, and looked into the eyes of Maitreya Buddha.

silence!

There is only silence here!

After a long moment, Maitreya Buddha regained his smile and said, "If I had known that Guanyin Bodhisattva had such thoughts, I should have let her enter the Blood River that day. That way, the Styx would not be a concern. Now that Guanyin Bodhisattva has spoken, I will do as she said. I will make my move."

There was a hint of shock on Guanyin Bodhisattva's face. He never thought that Maitreya Buddha would agree.

"Is the Buddha from the East serious?"

"If the Bodhisattva had not spoken, I would not have thought of this, nor would I have made such a move. The Bodhisattva's words have indeed given me a lot of inspiration, and I think it is feasible." Maitreya Buddha said seriously.

"We in the West are weak, even our Buddha lost a palm, and even his body disappeared into the blood river to suppress the Asura clan. Only then did we get the journey west back on track. If not, I would never dare to trouble the Buddha from the East to come here."

There was more compassion in Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes, and she seemed to feel really guilty for letting Maitreya Buddha make a move.

"Bodhisattva is so polite, it's all for my sake!"

"In this case, I will not delay the Eastern Buddha's explanation. I will take my leave." Guanyin Bodhisattva performed the ceremony.

Maitreya Buddha nodded slightly and did not see him off.

Seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva disappear from his sight, Maitreya Buddha's face became serious again.

"In the past, I only thought about praying for good results, so that I could save Lingshan a little. Now, Guanyin Bodhisattva has given me great inspiration. They are all behind the scenes, and they are all fishermen. So why can't I be one of them?"

Maitreya Buddha knocked on the table, and a boy appeared in front of Maitreya Buddha.

"Huang Mei, Master has something I need you to do!"

"Please give your instructions, Master." The yellow-browed boy responded respectfully.

Maitreya Buddha: "Go down to the mortal world and find a necessary path to Mount Lingshan. Build your power there, but remember to treat the people around you well. Within five hundred years, build a small Western Paradise and wait for those who travel west."

"Little Western Paradise?" Upon hearing this, the yellow-browed boy trembled uncontrollably.

These three words are not a joke. There are countless Buddhas in the Western Paradise here. It would be a great sin to create another small Western Paradise.

"I now control Lingshan. You will follow my command. The Buddhas of karma cannot see you. You can rest assured."

Huang Mei finally stopped trembling, a look of excitement on his face. He quickly crawled to the side of Maitreya Buddha and said, "Master, if that traveler from the west arrives, what should I do?"

"Observe your heart, observe its merits, and see if they are in my Western Paradise. If not, I will kill them all!" Maitreya Buddha said this with a smile on his face. "You will just swallow all the merits."

"Gudong!" The yellow-browed boy swallowed subconsciously when he heard this.

He never imagined that Maitreya Buddha had such a strong murderous intention.

"But--"

"No buts. Even if he builds the Little Western Paradise, he won't be sincere. So if you attack him, he won't dare to resist, and it will be the easiest to succeed." Maitreya Buddha casually threw a ring to the yellow-browed boy and said, "There are several magic weapons in it, enough for you to wipe out all the travelers to the West. Go!"

The yellow-browed boy's consciousness sank into it and took a look, his face full of shock.

Inside was actually Maitreya Buddha's natal magic weapon. With these things, he was confident that he could kill anyone who was not a quasi-saint. This meant that Maitreya Buddha really had the intention to kill.

To be on the safe side, the Yellow-browed Boy asked, "What if they are sincere? What if we can't kill them?"

"Then I will take action to subdue you, and you and I will have hidden merits, which will not be a loss."

After receiving the answer that there was still a glimmer of hope, the yellow-browed boy bowed to Maitreya Buddha again and again: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Go!"

As Maitreya Buddha finished speaking, the Yellow-browed Boy had already escaped from the Paradise and went to the mortal world.

The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face remained unchanged. He began to tap the table gently. Ripples arose and the Buddhist rhythm spread out. Suddenly, Maitreya Buddha slapped the air with his palm.

This palm was extremely fast, and all the spiritual energy in the surrounding void was sucked out by it. Under the palm, the space distorted and a person appeared, it was Ye Xuantian.

But at this moment, Ye Xuantian had his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in the void, motionless.

"Fellow Daoist, you are so brave!" Maitreya Buddha's palm was about to continue falling, but at this moment, the surrounding void moved slightly, and thousands of Ye Xuantian appeared around Maitreya Buddha.

Every Ye Xuantian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Maitreya Buddha was horrified. So many clones? How was this possible? And how had Ye Xuantian done it? How could he have so many clones sneak into his sight?

And why do they close their eyes?

As if in response to Maitreya Buddha's thoughts, Ye Xuantian suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and murderous intent was brewing.

"Maitreya has entered the kalpa of measure, destroying my merits and virtues, and he should be killed!"

A terrifying murderous intent filled the air, and Maitreya Buddha felt his heart tighten.

puff!
The murderous intent was so strong that Maitreya Buddha spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of disbelief.

hum!
The Buddhist rhythm centered on the table struck by Maitreya Buddha finally ripples into the pond, the lotus blooms with golden light, and the Buddhist sound is vast above it.

"Namo!"

Whirring whirring!

Maitreya Buddha regained consciousness and gasped for breath. He was still tapping the table. What he had shown before was all an illusion.

"It is true that Guanyin has been affected by Fellow Daoist Xuantian's plan. She is filled with anger and rage. If I were only Daluo, I would be dead today!"

Maitreya Buddha looked at the lotus in the pond, which was now covered with fine marks.

Click!

With a crisp sound, all the lotus flowers turned into gravel powder.

Maitreya Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Guanyin, please don't go astray!"
