On the field, the three thousand Buddhas and the Tathagata Buddha were silent for a moment.
However, no one revealed even a hint of weakness on their faces. With a Sage's good corpse present, no one would be careless.
Tathagata Buddha took a deep breath and looked at Taishang Laojun sincerely,
“Taiqing Sage has been a benefactor to me. I am able to occupy the position of World Honored One today, all thanks to the teachings of Taiqing Sage back then.”
“I always hold gratitude in my heart, how could I do such a despicable and shameless thing! If Taishang Laojun does not believe me, you can investigate at will!”
Tathagata Buddha spoke with extreme certainty, with a hint of grievance in his tone.
As if he had really been slandered by Taishang Laojun.
The three thousand Buddhas also said one after another:
“Laojun is probably mistaken, our Western Paradise has always been compassionate, how could we do such things?”
“That's right, Laojun, we also just learned about the destruction of your Tushita Palace. This matter is of great importance, and we will also do our best to help you track down the real culprit, and will never let Laojun down.”
“However, who exactly is so sacred that they can destroy the Tushita Palace without being noticed? Laojun, don't you have any clues? Within the Three Realms, I am afraid no one can do this!”
“Laojun, you are deeply aware of righteousness, but please don't misunderstand us, our Western Paradise cannot bear this crime!”
The three thousand Buddhas finished speaking about these things with tears in their eyes, as aggrieved as a virtuous woman slandered for adultery.
Don't you see, Tathagata Buddha is resolute and insists that he didn't do it?
Admitting it is equivalent to suicide!
Even if they saw Taishang Laojun vowing that he had a way to investigate, the three thousand Buddhas still insisted that if they didn't do it, they just didn't do it!
Chu Hao raised an eyebrow, feeling a little pained in his heart,
“Good boy, both sides seem to be prepared, how long will it take to fight like this?”
“After all, I'm just throwing dirty water, it's not realistic. If they really investigate the truth, wouldn't they kill me?”
“Should I run away?”
A thought flashed through Chu Hao's mind, but it was immediately dismissed by Chu Hao.
“Since you are innocent, you should come forward generously like the Prison God and accept my test.”
Chu Hao looked confused, what does this have to do with me?
Chu Hao suddenly thought of the time when he was revealed to be the number one handsome guy in the Three Realms in front of all the gods, alas, the source of all evil.
Tathagata Buddha did not agree, but said respectfully:
“Taiqing Sage was very kind to me back then. If it weren't for Taiqing Sage, I would have been confined to the Jie Sect forever and could only be a senior disciple.”
“It was Taiqing Sage who passed through Hangu Pass and converted me to the Western Paradise, so that I could have today's achievements.”
“I have a great affection and deep respect for Taiqing Sage. How could I destroy the Tushita Palace?”
“I am unwilling to accept the test only because I don't want the people of the world to know that the person you converted is actually going to become a suspect in destroying the Tushita Palace!”
Tathagata Buddha spoke with tears in his eyes, pouring out his heart.
Chu Hao nodded repeatedly as he watched, gaining knowledge.
Lao Tzu converted the barbarians into Buddhas, so that's how it happened?
Hearing the person involved tell the story of that year for the first time, Chu Hao was truly deeply moved.
However, it seems that Daoist Duobao was an ambitious person who was unwilling to be inferior to others back then.
It's no wonder that such a person would ascend to the position of World Honored One of the Western Paradise with the status of not being the strongest in the Three Realms.
Chu Hao saw that Taishang Laojun was a little hesitant, so Chu Hao quickly said:
“To put it another way, Laojun, doesn't your first testing him show that you are righteous and selfless?!”
“Moreover, rumors have been spreading recently that Tathagata Buddha destroyed the Tushita Palace. As Tathagata Buddha's benefactor, you should be the first to clear his name!”
The reason why rumors were spreading was mainly from Chu Hao.
Taishang Laojun listened and gave a thumbs up, praising:
“Good boy, what you said makes sense, I'll listen to you! Everything is for the sake of Tathagata Buddha's reputation!”
Tathagata Buddha was still weeping just now, but when he heard this, his face immediately fell!
Beast, are you ruining my good deeds again?!
Chu Hao threw a melon seed shell at Tathagata Buddha and shouted: “I want to be beaten up!”
The melon seed shell hung on Tathagata Buddha's head full of bumps. Tathagata Buddha's face turned red and then black, black and then red!
A small melon seed shell, not very harmful, but extremely insulting!
The three thousand Buddhas present gritted their teeth.
Their gums were bleeding from biting, but in the end, they were still powerless and furious.
Taishang Laojun stared at Tathagata Buddha coldly,
“Come here!”
Tathagata Buddha wanted to defend himself,
But Taishang Laojun shouted angrily:
“Duobao Daoist, don't you recognize me, your eldest uncle?! A thing that deceives the master and destroys the ancestor!”
Tathagata Buddha's body trembled slightly, his head lowered slightly, he closed his eyes, and his eyes were actually a little moist.
At this moment, Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but take a deep breath. He really felt sad in his heart.
After the Conferred God, there should be no more Duobao Daoist, but Taishang Laojun was furious and even said Shakyamuni's original name, which was a great blow to Tathagata Buddha!
If someone else called Tathagata Buddha Duobao Daoist, Tathagata Buddha would at most feel some displeasure, but he would just let it go.
But now Taishang Laojun is directly calling his former name, which means that Taishang Laojun does not recognize Tathagata Buddha's identity at all!
Tathagata Buddha roared in his heart in grief: But, this is what you gave me with your own hands, it was you who helped me get the position of Tathagata Buddha, why do you still call me Duobao?!
Duobao Daoist, in Tathagata Buddha's heart, is only equivalent to the name he used to be the security captain in the old company. This name carries Tathagata Buddha's humble past.
And now Tathagata Buddha has become the World Honored One of the Western Paradise, the chairman of a large company! This was still with the help of Taiqing Sage!
Therefore, Tathagata Buddha felt so uncomfortable.
Being awakened by his benefactor to the name of when he was the security captain made Tathagata Buddha feel ashamed and angry for a while.
At the same time… Tathagata Buddha was a little incredulous. He clearly only destroyed some pills and materials in the Tushita Palace, why is Taishang Laojun so angry?
He, the monkey, can destroy it, but I can't?
At that time, Tathagata Buddha felt that this matter would not cause much harm to Taishang Laojun, so he chose this small matter to retaliate.
After all, for a saint, pills are actually dispensable.
After a while, Tathagata Buddha still raised his head and said faintly:
“Okay, then I will accept your test.”
Tathagata Buddha no longer used honorifics, nor was he too respectful.
Because in Tathagata Buddha's view, the benefactor of the past is now taking an inch and not leaving himself any face, and is no longer worthy of much respect.
In the next second, Tathagata Buddha came to Taishang Laojun and let Taishang Laojun test him.
And Taishang Laojun didn't talk nonsense at all, and used the same method as back then to test Tathagata Buddha.
A round mirror appeared in the air, reflecting Tathagata Buddha's recent actions.
Taishang Laojun's brow furrowed instantly!
