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!
He was trapped under Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years, but if he could persevere, 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 a look, bowed to Tathagata, and prepared to retreat.
Go to Wuzhishan for confinement on your own.
"Eight hundred years, isn't it too long?"
Unexpectedly, before the two of them took a few steps, a familiar voice came into their ears.
The two of them stopped subconsciously.
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 on the lotus platform and turned his head reflexively.
When he saw Qin Tian standing not far away from him, his face always showing no sadness or joy, and a calm expression, he couldn't help but feel a look of surprise.
Of course, this surprise was fleeting, and he immediately returned to his original appearance.
Slowly said: "Heavenly Court Debt Collector! Why are you here?"
This is the first time Qin Tian has seen 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 like a big mountain pressing on his heart, making him feel heavy and breathless...
In this case, Qin Tian glanced at Tathagata and quickly looked away.
Looking at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, he also looked at the Great Leiyin 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 Buddha, you want to punish the great sage and the messenger of the altar, so I came here to explain to them and ask for mercy... …"
"The Great Sage and the Messenger of the Pure Altar went to the mortal world just because they were kind-hearted and worried about my safety!"
"The reason why they started fighting against mortals in the mortal world is because those few mortals were not good people, and they came to provoke us first..."
"To use a word from the mortal world, their behavior is... It's legitimate self-defense! This kind of behavior is 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’s so unreasonable!”
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had already given up struggling and were preparing to go to Wuzhishan.
Now 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 is really interesting. He has helped them as 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 Tathagata!
Whether it was Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie, their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Qin Tian.
The richness is so strong that it almost condenses into substance and overflows.
“Uh!!!”
Qin Tian was shocked when he felt it!
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!"
< br /> Immediately, his eyes returned to Tathagata, but he did not look directly at his face again.
"Buddha, do you think what I said is reasonable?"
"Well..." Tathagata pondered for a moment and said: "Debt collector in heaven, you are right. That makes sense!"
Qin Tian, Sun Wukong, and Zhu Bajie were all happy in their hearts.
The other party admits that they are justified, so 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 envoy of the Purification Altar..."
Only halfway through his words, Tathagata said: " Some time ago, we cooperated with Heavenly Court to conquer the Lawless Palace, but something unexpected happened. It was Heavenly Court's debt collection that forced you to take action, so Jianglong and the others had a chance to come back alive..."
"Since Heavenly Court's debt collection forces you to personally Come to plead for mercy, 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, when they reported to Tathagata the situation of the crusade against the Lawless Hall, they said a lot about Kind words for Qin Tian.
Said that if it weren’t for Qin Tian, they would probably all be buried in the lair of the Lawless Hall. 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...”
< br /> Zhu Bajie expressed his gratitude to Tathagata and Qin Tian excitedly.
Tathagata 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 did not mean to beat around the bush, and said more bluntly: "A monk does not lie, you are a debt collector in heaven. 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 exit the Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm at will. No matter the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother or Luo Hu, they can’t trap each other!
With such a talent, 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.
Immediately afterwards, 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 has also married him. There is no way he can join our Buddhist sect!"< br />
When Sun Wukong heard Tathagata’s words at first, he was surprised, but he soon felt relieved.
For talents like Qin Tian, it is normal for various forces to compete to win over him and want to use them for their own purposes!
Tathagata is no exception!
After listening to Qin Tian and Zhu Bajie’s words, Tathagata sat on the lotusOn the stage, I thought for a few seconds before speaking.
"Heavenly Debt Collectors, if you are willing to join Buddhism, I can grant you some privileges!"
