Chapter 929 Attempt to Rescue Ksitigarbha
It would be a small matter if they were humiliated, but if they were humiliated and had to make concessions to them in order to ensure the smooth progress of the eastward spread of Buddhism, then the Western religion would lose all face and dignity!
Furthermore, Zhunti was well aware that his purpose in making this trip was primarily to inform all the major powers in the prehistoric world about the eastward spread of Buddhism. As for discussing the distribution of benefits from the eastward spread of Buddhism, that could only be done once all the powers were present.
After all, if the distribution of benefits is not transparent, it is very likely that all forces will feel that they have not received enough benefits, and will then secretly cause trouble when Buddhism is spreading to the East!
However, Bai Zhen was different from Zhunti. He was an extremely prestigious figure in the entire prehistoric world, and there were very few people in the prehistoric world who dared not to give him face. Therefore, after Bai Zhen gave the order, Zhunti only needed to obediently wait in Qingqiu for the arrival of the high-ranking officials of the major forces!
Just as Zhunti had expected, after Bai Zhen gave the order, beings like Houtu and Nuwa, who might have been turned away by Zhunti even if he came to visit, arrived in Qingqiu in a very short time!
Once everyone had arrived, Bai Zhen explained Buddhism's plans to spread its teachings eastward. He then ignored the reactions of the others and left on his own, leaving Zhunti to negotiate with the various forces.
All the guests present understood the true meaning behind Bai Zhen's actions. After Bai Zhen left, the atmosphere lessened, and the leaders of each faction began to fight for their respective interests.
Although Zhunti was mentally prepared from the beginning, his face turned dark when he saw the behavior of those in power who wanted to squeeze every last drop of marrow from his bones!
Zhunti understood that those in power were asking for exorbitant prices in order to test his bottom line. Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he had to remain rational at all times and not let those hungry wolves see his true bottom line!
After a heated argument, Zhunti single-handedly debated with everyone, but the two sides failed to reach a consensus and parted on bad terms!
As the leaders of the major powers parted on bad terms, Zhunti called out to Houtu. Houtu was initially curious as to why Zhunti had suddenly stopped her, but after hearing his words, she immediately understood!
Zhunti's main purpose in speaking up and keeping Houtu here was to rescue Ksitigarbha, who was trapped in the Avici Hell! When Houtu heard Zhunti's empty promises and his unwillingness to give any benefit, she was so angry that she laughed!
She then ignored Zhunti and prepared to return to the underworld. Seeing that Houtu had no intention of continuing the conversation, Zhunti immediately tried to persuade her to stay.
In fact, Zhunti really wanted to rescue Ksitigarbha from the underworld this time. After all, the West is really short of people now. Although Ksitigarbha has been mired in the underworld for a long time, with his talent and enlightenment, he is still a high-ranking figure in the Western religion and the future Buddhism!
However, Zhunti did not want to pay too high a price, so he planned to let Houtu set the conditions herself, so that he could better take the initiative.
If Houtu's conditions are equal to or lower than his bottom line, Zhunti will see if he can lower the conditions a little more and pay less! Of course, if he really can't reduce the price he has to pay, then he won't lose anything!
If Houtu asks for an exorbitant price, he can negotiate with her. If he can reduce the cost to below the bottom line, he is willing to pay the price to retrieve Dizang!
However, if Houtu is unyielding and insists on making such unreasonable demands, leaving no room for negotiation, then he will have no choice but to harden his heart and stop talking about saving Ksitigarbha from suffering.
After all, even if the Western Sect loses Ksitigarbha, it's not a big deal. But if the price paid is too high, it will affect the path of the two Western Saints, which is really not worth it!
