Regarding Chu Hao's words, Maitreya Buddha obviously had his own plan, and then the scene at Shituoling appeared.
Three days have passed, and the demon-hunting army is still standing in the sky. On the other hand, when looking at the Infinite Purgatory, not a single demon appears. Only the lonely small Leiyin Temple blocks the entrance, which looks a bit desolate.
At the same time, Shuitian Buddha, who was expelled from Lingshan Mountain, also followed Baichuan Buddha to Xiaoleiyin Temple.
The anxious Maitreya Buddha did not expect that this Buddha would be targeted by the Tathagata. Now he chose to switch sides and immediately welcomed him in.
"Shui Tian Buddha, long time no see." Maitreya Buddha stared at the other person with a smile and his voice was calm.
Shuitian Buddha glanced at the interior of the small Leiyin Temple, looked at the possessed Buddhas and Arhats, clasped his hands together and said calmly: "Buddha from the east, you are well."
Maitreya Buddha waved slightly and asked him to sit behind him, while his subordinates handed him a cup of spiritual tea.
"I heard that Shuitian Buddha has left Lingshan?" Maitreya Buddha asked with a smile.
Maitreya Buddha had doubts in his heart about Shuitian Buddha and Tathagata's antagonism, but at the moment, he did not reveal it.
Shuitian Buddha knew that the scene was not over yet, so he was calm on the surface and slightly angry in his voice: "The Tathagata wanted me to take the blame, so he took advantage of the opportunity to suppress me. The interior of Lingshan has long been decayed, and it is no longer a holy place for Buddhism.
.”
As soon as these rebellious words came out, the smile on Maitreya Buddha's face grew wider and wider.
He squinted at the other party and suddenly said: "What is Shuitian Buddha's plan?"
"I heard from Baichuan Buddha that your little Leiyin Temple is different from Lingshan, so I came to take a look." As he spoke, he raised the Lingcha and drank it all. Then he looked at the eighteen Arhats and continued: "It's just,
Here, I don’t feel any Buddhist intention, but instead there is overwhelming demonic energy.”
He looked a little disappointed.
Maitreya Buddha still had a smile on his face, and his indifferent eyes shone with a bit of strange light, like stars and chaos, looking a little ethereal.
He shook his head slightly: "I think Shuitian Buddha has also seen that now that the army is approaching, my little Leiyin Temple is in the wind and rain, and we can't even find stability. Naturally, everyone can't meditate and practice Buddhism."
Maitreya Buddha's words have a profound meaning, and he is also hinting to the other party that he wants the other party to take action.
An imperceptible smile flashed across the corner of Shui Tianfo's lips. He put down his teacup and said, "Why don't you see the demon clan taking action? Could it be that they allowed the army to suppress the situation?"
"My relationship with the demons is just a cooperative relationship. There is nothing I can do if they don't take action." Maitreya said in a helpless tone.
A deep meaning flashed in Shuitian Buddha's eyes. He looked at Maitreya Buddha and said, "What is the plan of Buddha coming from the east?"
"Then the prison god Chu Hao wants me to move away from this place. What does Shuitian Buddha think?" Maitreya Buddha asked the question to him.
Shuitianfo's trip had a purpose, and he took advantage of the situation and said: "If the demons don't take action, then that's the only way. After all, if we want to fight against the coalition of gods and Buddhas, we can't do it with the small Leiyin Temple."
What he said was very straightforward and realistic.
Maitreya Buddha naturally knew it, but speaking of it, he didn't know why the demons chose to wait and see.
When they first surrounded and suppressed Baoguang Buddha and others, the demon clan responded very quickly, but this time, the opponent directly chose to retreat to the Infinite Purgatory and never appeared again.
Faced with Shuitian Buddha's hint, Maitreya Buddha shook his head and said: "The demons are not planning to take action, so we have to rely on ourselves for everything."
"Then I suggest that Buddha from the East should leave directly." Shuitian Buddha said.
After saying that, he planned to get up and leave.
"Where does Shuitian Buddha plan to go?" Maitreya Buddha asked.
"This place is not what I want. Let's wait until you stabilize. I'm going to the Infinite Purgatory." Shuitian Buddha said calmly.
Maitreya Buddha was still greatly surprised when he heard that Shuitian Buddha was going to enter the Infinite Purgatory alone.
To be honest, he still coveted Shuitian Buddha's sudden rebellion with Tathagata. He was worried that this was Tathagata's plan, so he did not intend to accept him easily.
But the other party actually wanted to enter the Infinite Purgatory alone. He knew how terrifying the Infinite Purgatory was. Even he himself might not have been able to go into the depths if it hadn't been for Gu Yang's permission.
"Does Shuitian Buddha not know the dangers of endless purgatory?" Maitreya Buddha reminded.
Shuitian Buddha looked at Maitreya Buddha with blazing eyes, with a pious expression on his face: "My Buddha is so merciful that even if his body is shattered into pieces, I still want to try to save these sinners. This can be regarded as fulfilling my mission."
This tone of resignation made Maitreya Buddha have a slight change in his view of Shuitian Buddha.
He thought for a while and said: "Since Shuitian Buddha insists on doing this, I won't stop you, and I can introduce you to the king of the demon clan."
These words made Shuitianfo's eyes light up.
Originally, he planned to join Xiaoleiyin Temple and then complete his plan by guiding Maitreya Buddha.
But when he came here, he realized that this Maitreya Buddha did not have all the trust of the demons and could not mobilize the demon army.
That's why he came up with the idea of entering eternal purgatory.
If he could meet the demon king directly, Shuitian Buddha would naturally be more accepting of him.
"However, I hope Shuitian Buddha can prove that he has left Lingshan."
At this moment, Maitreya Buddha suddenly said.
These words made Shuitian Buddha's face darken, and he asked: "What does the Buddha from the East mean?"
"Now that the allied forces of gods and Buddhas are here, I think I should go and see Shuitian Buddha." Maitreya Buddha still had doubts about Shuitian Buddha in his heart, so he wanted to test it.
Shuitian Buddha knew that this was something he couldn't refuse, so he nodded: "Then let's go and have a look."
With that said, he left Xiaoleiyin Temple alone and headed straight towards the demon-conquering army.
When that ray of Buddha's light appeared in the sky, the familiar figure stood in front of the army.
There was no reaction from the Heavenly Court, and they just looked at it with indifference, while the Buddha and Bodhisattva from the Lingshan Mountain saw the figure and quickly went back to report it.
Soon, Baoguang Buddha and a group of elite Buddhas appeared in front of the formation, looking at Shuitian Buddha opposite in surprise.
"Shuitian Buddha? Why are you here?" Baoguang Buddha said with a surprised look.
Shuitian Buddha's face was cold, and his figure seemed to be hidden in ice: "I have been expelled from the Lingshan Mountain by the Tathagata."
These words made the Buddhas look puzzled, and Baoguang Buddha asked again: "What happened?"
"Fellow disciples, no need to say more, now I have joined Xiaoleiyin Temple." Shuitian Buddha said without any secret.
"Shui Tian Buddha, do you know what you are talking about?" a Buddha said angrily.
"Shui Tian Buddha, have you been plotted by the devil to become a demon?" A Buddha who was friends with Shuitian Buddha followed and asked.
Shuitian Buddha, however, had a calm look on his face: "Let's wait until you all go back and ask the Tathagata."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, the Buddha's light was generous in his palm, and he suddenly clapped his hand.
This palm came suddenly, and as soon as it appeared, I saw an astonishing Buddha's intention erupting in the dim sky.
