Fairy Jinling sneered. "Watch your words?"
"Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
"There's a common saying among mortals. Let me tell you."
"In chaotic times, Bodhisattvas keep their eyes shut; Laojun bears his sword to save the common folk!"
"In peaceful times, Buddhism welcomes incense-bearing devotees; Laojun retreats into the mountains and forests!"
Fairy Jinling casually pointed.
"There are countless mortal dynasties in the Earth Immortal Realm, and more than a dozen Imperial Dynasties."
"Take a look and see whether your Buddhism is like this!"
Great Sun Rulai was rendered speechless!
For a moment, he did not know how to answer Fairy Jinling's question.
The master and two disciples beside them, who had been listening to the two immortals and Buddhas, were stunned.
Tang Sanzang's face turned deathly pale.
This... this was different from what he knew.
If Buddhism shut its doors in chaotic times and welcomed followers in prosperous ones,
then why had he endured countless hardships and narrowly escaped death time and again to travel west and seek the true scriptures?
Was it merely to add flowers to the brocade of a peaceful age?!
Tang Sanzang asked himself, "I spent my youth and endured countless hardships just to obtain something like this. Was it worth it?!"
A crack appeared in his unwavering faith in Buddhism!
Great Sun Rulai noticed it at once. This is bad!
Great Sun Rulai was dumbfounded!
Tang Sanzang's faith in Buddhism had actually begun to waver. How could this be allowed?!
On the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was the one destined to face the tribulation, but in truth, he was merely a guardian.
If the Journey to the West succeeded, the story passed down through the Primordial Era would only be that of Tang Sanzang traveling to Western Heaven for the scriptures.
