"The Emperor of the Immortal Realm came to visit, the Great Leiyin Temple was in full bloom, and the old man Ruohai met the patron Gu."
The eminent monk Ruohai said politely, and the name Gu Chen he called was not far away. The little novice monk who helped to report earlier was dumbfounded.
"Emperor of the Immortal Realm?!"
When many monks from the nearby Leiyin Temple heard this, there was a commotion and they began to communicate in low voices.
"Senior Brother Ruohai, in our Great Leiyin Temple, all living beings are equal. If other donors see what you did, how would they feel?"
The eminent monk Ruoshan who was leading the way stopped and showed dissatisfaction on his face.
"Junior Brother Ruoshan, this is wrong!"
"Although our Buddhist sect emphasizes the equality of all living beings, we also say that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It is not an exaggeration to say that what the donor has done has saved billions of people, which is comparable to the ancient Buddha!"
"Your being so negligent only shows that I, the Great Leiyin Temple, am not polite enough!"
The eminent monk Ruohai lectured, and the eminent monk Ruoshan snorted coldly when he heard this, and argued, "I'm afraid that their arrival will bring great disaster to our Western Star Region, and the people of Li will suffer as a result!"
These words seemed very harsh, and Gu Chen and the others frowned tightly for a moment.
It seemed that the eminent monk Ruoshan was deliberately neglecting them, but why?
The Heavenly Court has never offended the Great Leiyin Temple, saying that they will bring great disaster to the Western Sky Star Region, which sounds even more ridiculous.
After speaking, the eminent monk Ruoshan walked away and handed over the task of leading the way to the eminent monk Ruohai.
"Donor Gu, two benefactors, please forgive me. I, my junior brother, have always been like this, outspoken and outspoken."
The eminent monk Ruohai said apologetically while leading the way.
"I wonder why the eminent monk Ruoshan is prejudiced against Mr. Gu?"
Gu Chen asked thoughtfully.
When the eminent monk Ruohai heard this, he sighed and said, "To be honest, we have already guessed that Almsgiver Gu will come to our Great Leiyin Temple and have been waiting for him for a long time."
The three of them looked at each other in shock, and Gu Chen asked, "Oh? Does your temple know Gu's intention?"
The eminent monk Ruohai nodded. "Donor Gu cares about the world and came here in person. He must be hoping that we, the Great Leiyin Temple, can send troops to share the difficulties with the Ninth Realm and fight against the Xingjun together. With such great righteousness, how can we wait?
How can you not know?"
Gu Chen burst out laughing after hearing this. He thought that the eminent monk Ruohai knew that he was here for the man in the hat, but he didn't expect that he would get it wrong.
Although he intends to form an alliance with Buddhism, this is not his primary purpose.
However, Gu Chen did not deny it immediately, but instead started to think about it.
Judging from the attitudes of the eminent monks Ruohai and Ruoshan, it is obvious that the Daleiyin Temple has a dispute over the alliance with the Heavenly Court.
They seem to have long believed that they would come to the Great Leiyin Temple to form an alliance. What is the reason for this?
Gu Chen quickly made a guess in his mind and said, "I wonder if the two Kunpeng Taoists are at Daleiyin Temple?"
"The two priests have been waiting for Donor Gu for a long time. I have just ordered someone to inform you. They will see you soon. Donor Gu, please rest assured."
The eminent monk Ruohai immediately replied.
Gu Chen's heart suddenly felt like a mirror, and sure enough.
Back in Canghuang Ancient Star, White Whale believed that Gu Chen was the savior of the Ninth Realm because of the Buddha Emperor's dream, and insisted on following him.
But Gu Chen rejected it because he never believed in prophecies, only believed that things depended on man-made decisions.
Later, the white whale and its brother, the Golden-winged Dapeng, left together. At that time, Gu Chen did not ask them where they would go next.
It seems that after that, the Kunpeng brothers chose to return to Mount Sumeru, and then informed many eminent monks of Daleiyin Temple about the dream entrusted by the Buddha and the Emperor.
It is not difficult to guess the determination of the Kunpeng brothers. They were willing to follow him in the first place because they wanted to contend with Xingjun to the end.
Gu Chen thought about it, it seemed that the Kunpeng brothers had helped him in advance, but there was still no consensus within the Great Leiyin Temple, so the previous scene happened.
Gu Chen came to a magnificent Buddhist temple while thinking. When they arrived, many eminent monks from Daleiyin Temple had gathered in the temple.
The Emperor of Heaven's visit was of great importance, and even if some people were dissatisfied with Gu Chen's intentions, they still did not dare to be absent.
Gu Chen and the other three stood in the Buddhist hall, calmly and calmly. Gu Chen looked at the leader of the old monk calmly.
This man has a kind face and a somewhat stooped figure. He is wearing an abbot's cassock. He must be the holy monk Ruochen.
"Almsgiver Gu is here, and I am not far away to welcome him."
Abbot Ruochen said, his old eyes looking a little cloudy.
"I've heard about the abbot for a long time, but I'm sorry for visiting you today." Gu Chen said politely.
Abbot Ruochen smiled and coughed twice when he saw all the monks looking at him.
"I understand the purpose of Donor Gu's visit today. To be honest, everyone in the Great Leiyin Temple admires Donor Gu very much."
Abbot Ruochen had a gloomy look on his face and said straight to the point.
"But I, the Great Leiyin Temple, am responsible for the peace and tranquility of the entire Western Sky Star Territory. Please forgive me, donor, for we cannot send troops to assist the Heavenly Court."
After Abbot Ruochen finished speaking, the entire Buddhist temple was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be clearly heard.
Some eminent monks couldn't help lowering their heads, with guilty looks on their faces.
Some of them didn't even dare to look at Gu Chen and sighed again and again.
Gu Chen saw everything in his eyes and looked very calm.
Unexpectedly, Abbot Ruochen rejected him directly before he even said his intention.
Although Gu Chen's trip was mainly for the people in the hat, and he didn't have much hope in persuading the alliance, the current decision of Da Leiyin Temple still made him a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Buddhism emphasizes compassion and saving all sentient beings, but when faced with the critical moment of life and death in the ninth realm, it chose to stay out of it.
Gu Chen was expressionless for a moment and stood in the hall without speaking.
The power he displayed without speaking was a bit overbearing, and many Buddhist monks already felt guilty, and now they didn't have the courage to look at him.
"Donor Gu, you can't blame us for this."
The eminent monk Naruoshan stood up and expressed their thoughts frankly.
"Everyone knows how powerful Xingjun is. Even if you have unified the worlds of immortals and gods, you are still just throwing an egg against a stone."
"The millions of years of peace in our Western Star Region are hard-won. They were earned by Emperor Buddha at the cost of his life."
"As the descendants of the Buddha Emperor, we have guarded the peace of the Western Star Territory for generations. The first thing we have to consider is naturally the hundreds of millions of people in the Western Star Territory."
"Xingjun made an agreement with Emperor Buddha back then. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, the Western Sky Star Territory can protect itself even in the midst of war."
"This is the responsibility and morality that we need to bear. I hope you can understand!"
After the eminent monk Ruoshan finished speaking, some of the monks present couldn't help but raise their heads and straighten their backs.
It was as if after hearing these words, they suddenly had a backbone and no longer felt that their choice was wrong.
Hai Dongqing and Penglai Island Master felt chilled after hearing this. For the safety of the Ninth Realm, so many people in the Immortal and God Realms are preparing intensively for war, and they have spent a lot of effort on this.
Especially Gu Chen, since he abandoned his family and returned to the starry sky, he has put in so much effort to protect the Ninth Realm.
Although Da Leiyin Temple did this to protect themselves, it was still very disappointing to be rejected like this without even saying anything!
