"Wait!" Just as she was about to pull out the black lotus, Qing Xuan suddenly shouted.
Before Yang Xue could let go, she saw the man in front of her suddenly open his eyes. Endless pressure surged from all directions, and she instantly knelt on the ground.
"White Bone Spirit, you've finally come!" His eyes glowed with black streamers, and he stared at her with full hostility. "If you join my Buddhist sect, I'll let bygones be bygones."
"Ridiculous! Why should I join the Buddhist sect?" Yang Xue was initially very nervous, but she quickly realized that at this moment, he couldn't do anything to her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said these things to her but would have just captured her directly.
"What's wrong with the Buddhist sect?" He waved his sleeve but found himself confined to the lotus throne and unable to stand up.
"The Buddhist sect has too many precepts. I don't like it at all." She answered truthfully. "Can one get married in the Buddhist sect? Can one eat meat and drink wine? Can one be attached to the mortal world?"
"No."
"See, there are so many requirements. Why should I still join the Buddhist sect?" Yang Xue took the opportunity to bargain. "Moreover, I've long known your scheme. From the very beginning, I never intended to let the real Sun Wukong obtain the scriptures. I'm here today to make a deal with you. You not only have to let Sun Wukong obtain the scriptures but also give him a free choice. In the future, after he obtains the scriptures, he must be able to marry me."
"Absurd! Since one wants to enter the Buddhist sect, how can one get married and have children?"
"In that case, forget it. I'm determined to be with the Great Sage. Not only that, Tang Seng sacrificed so much to obtain the scriptures for the people of the world. Why can't he be with the woman he loves?" Yang Xue argued plausibly. "What's the purpose of spreading the religion? The Western Buddha is good, but you're from India. The conditions you've set aren't suitable for every place."
"..." He stared at Yang Xue angrily and remained silent.
"Since you want to gain more beliefs and are ready to adapt to the local people's needs when spreading the religion, why don't you lift such prohibitions earlier?" Yang Xue knew that later, when Buddhism spread to many places, it adapted to local conditions and customs, and many sects and branches emerged.
Some monks could get married and have children, some could cure the sick and save the injured, some could eat fish and meat, and some could adapt to the situation and personally enter the mortal world to save lost souls.
"Aren't you supposed to save the people of the world from the abyss of suffering? Why can't you save those who are seeking the scriptures first?" Yang Xue continued. "The Buddhist sect emphasizes fate. Why do you want to cut off mortal ties? Isn't this self - contradictory?"
"Master, stop talking. You're really courting death!" Qing Xuan trembled and hid behind her, whispering. "Save him first and then escape quickly!"
"Okay." She also knew that saying these things at this moment was like playing the lute to a cow.
"You..." The Tathagata suddenly leaned closer to her. "You've actually become the master of the Kunlun Mirror."
"Yes. So what?" She quickly put Qing Xuan into the Qiankun Bag and tightly covered it behind her back, fearing that he would come to snatch it. "Do you want it too?"
"Do you know what it means to be the master of the Kunlun Mirror?" His expression became strange, and his tone was quite different from before. His attitude softened a bit.
"As long as you don't try to kill me, I don't care about other things." She took a step back. "Swear that you won't kill me, and I'll remove your inner demon!"
"Hahaha..." The Tathagata laughed loudly and then said calmly, "What good would it do me to kill you?"
"Then why did you go mad?" Yang Xue joked without changing her expression. "Could it be that it's because I'm too beautiful and made you commit a sin?"
"You! How outrageous!" Saying that, he raised his palm. Like a dragon whose reverse scale had been touched, he pressed down on her with boundless anger!
"Don't! Don't! Don't!" Yang Xue dodged to the side. "Can't you take a joke?"
"The Buddhist sect doesn't joke!" Saying that, he changed the direction of his palm and continued to strike at her. "You don't belong to the Three Realms. Surrender quickly!"
"Fine. You don't keep your word and still want to capture me. It seems that the Buddhist sect isn't merciful at all!" Yang Xue shouted angrily. "Hypocritical and false to the extreme!"
"Don't create bad karma, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself!" He retracted his palm and looked down at Yang Xue from a high position. "Go. I don't need you, a demon, to save me!"
"Humph!" She didn't like to hear this!
Yang Xue was filled with anger. She took out the Heavenly Book, stood right in front of him, opened the pages, and silently said, "Heavenly Book, Heavenly Book, can I take him as my disciple?"
Qing Xuan's voice was as faint as a mosquito's, trembling. "Master, please, don't cause trouble."
"Shua shua shua~" The Heavenly Book flipped extremely fast, page after page fluttering back and forth, and finally stopped!
Suddenly, golden light flashed, and the Tathagata and the throne under him suddenly shrank.
"You... You..." The Tathagata was greatly shocked and pointed at her in horror. "Arrogant girl, you've actually obtained the holy book of our Buddha!"
"Why is it yours?" Yang Xue held the Heavenly Book in her hand. "Since it's in my hands, it's my thing."
"Pfft..." The Tathagata seemed to be greatly stimulated, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, forming a blood mist!
Yang Xue subconsciously took a step back. "Let's talk it over. I'm also a merciful person and don't want to bully others. If we can discuss this properly, I'll surely be grateful for your great kindness."
For the sake of the Great Sage, she had to know when to stop and not be too greedy.
After all, although she felt that she wouldn't be restricted by the Tathagata, Sun Wukong, his master, and his junior brothers still had to rely on him for conferring the gods.
The Tathagata was so angry that he was in a complete mess. For a moment, Yang Xue actually sensed the root cause of his inner demon.
The Tathagata was actually afraid that she would take his place?
What the hell?
Just because he couldn't calculate her future, he actually thought of this?
It seemed that the Tathagata's mind was not calm.
She suddenly reached out and pressed on the restless and demonic Tathagata, whispering, "I'm not some usurper who came out of nowhere. The Tathagata can rest assured."
"You're lying!" He slapped her palm away. "That Heavenly Book originally belonged to me! Five hundred years ago, it was mine! Now it's actually in your hands..."
"..." Yang Xue began to doubt if this was really the Tathagata.
Or rather, was this somewhat crazy person another side of the Tathagata?
He was no different from a fussy mortal and was so nagging.
The once great and powerful Tathagata in her mind had long vanished into thin air.
"Yang Xue, where are you!"
"Yang Xue, come back!"
Yang Xue suddenly turned around. It was Sun Wukong's voice!
The Tathagata sneered. "That naughty monkey has actually become a lovesick fool because of you. It's really laughable."
"Forget it." Yang Xue quickly inserted the white lotus into his forehead. "Go to sleep."
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the Tathagata's meditation room.
The Avalokitesvara couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank you, girl."
"Farewell!" Yang Xue felt that danger was approaching. The person on the bed was about to wake up!
As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately rushed out of the Spirit Mountain. Using all her strength, she returned to the place where she had been drinking before.
"Yang Xue!" Sun Wukong immediately pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "You're back!"
