In the face of Gu Qingfeng's indifference and disregard, Pudu did not show any discomfort. Instead, he asked with concern, "How is the little girl? Can I have a look?"
Gu Qingfeng still acted as if he did not hear him. He just gently loosened little Jin Er's hand that was tightly clenched.
"Amitabha."
Since he was the dominator of Buddhism in this world, Pudu was naturally not an ordinary person. Whether it was cultivation or realm, he was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Seeing that Gu Qingfeng had been ignoring him, he put his palms together and said in Buddhist mantras.
"Patron Gu, please don't misunderstand. This poor monk has no intention of harming the little girl. This poor monk also believes that no one can bear to harm such an obedient, cute, pure, innocent, and kind-hearted little girl. When the blood moon appeared earlier, the little girl even struggled with her life on the line. She would rather sacrifice herself than fuse with the blood moon. This poor monk truly admires such a fearless spirit."
"However, fate makes fools of people. No one thought that the little girl would be the Bane of the Lawless Era. I also believe that no one wants this to happen."
With that, Pudu sighed and said, "I believe Lay Buddhist Ancient should also know what the Bane of the Lawless Era means. The existence of the Bane of the Modern Era is already terrible, let alone the Bane of the Lawless Era. No one knows what kind of disaster it will bring. It is because of this that everyone is more afraid. The unknown always makes people afraid. No one can avoid it, and no one is an exception."
"No matter the dominator of the world, the dominator of the Great Path, or the dominator of heaven and earth, as a dominator, naturally has the obligation and responsibility to protect all living beings. Just like Lay Buddhist Ancient wants to protect the little girl at this moment. So, I hope Lay Buddhist Ancient doesn't blame this world, the Great Path, and this world …"
That was what Pu Du had said. Gu Qingfeng, on the other hand, had not said a single word from the beginning to the end.
Su'Er had been standing quietly by the side. She could tell that Pu Du was trying to persuade Gu Qingfeng. He was trying to move him emotionally and rationally. He did not want Gu Qingfeng to get into a conflict with the ruler of the World and the ruler of the Great Path because of Little Jin 'er. He did not want things to get out of hand.
Actually.
If possible, Su 'Er hoped that this matter could be resolved peacefully.
However.
She knew.
That seemed unlikely.
At least, Su'Er knew that neither the clouds that dominated this world nor the 3,000 Great Ways seemed to allow Gu Qingfeng to take little Jin Er away. If they had allowed it, the 3,000 Great Ways would not have been lurking in the firmament, eyeing this place covetously. Even the Western Buddhists did not seem to want Gu Qingfeng to take little Jin Er away, because Su'Er discovered that the Western Buddhists were also lurking in the firmament.
In that case …
Pudu's words were not only to persuade Gu Qingfeng not to get angry, but also to persuade Gu Qingfeng to hand over little Jin Er.
Of course.
That was just a guess. After all, Pudu did not say it out loud, so Su'Er could not say anything.
"If Ancient Householder wants to blame someone, then blame this poor monk, blame the Western Heaven. We came late and couldn't rush over immediately, causing the little girl to suffer such great pain. Here, this poor monk boldly asks Ancient Householder for forgiveness. I hope Ancient Householder can forgive us!"
After that, Pudu did something that everyone present could not believe. With a plop, he knelt in the air, put his palms together, bowed his head, and kowtowed.
Every single person present here, from the Golden Immortals in the clouds to the big shots of the sects, were all stunned on the spot by this scene. Their eyes stared wide open with terrified expressions, and they were even more shocked and astonished than if they'd seen a miracle!
Pudu was the dominator of Buddhism in this world, and Buddhism had been known as the leader of the Great Way since ancient times.
In other words, Pudu represented all the Buddhas of the Western Heaven in this world.
Just now, he took the initiative to salute Gu Qingfeng, which was already unacceptable. At this moment, in order to apologize, he actually … actually knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Qingfeng. Just because they had killed this jinx just to get Gu Qingfeng's forgiveness?
It was no exaggeration to say that with Pudu's identity, not to mention the supreme of the world, even if he faced the supreme of the Great Way, he probably did not need to kneel down and kowtow like this.
What right did Gu Qingfeng have?!
Yes.
What right did he have?
Many people could not figure it out.
Including Ye Tianlan of the female sect, Su'Er, and the mysterious three magnates.
They all knew that Gu Qingfeng's existence was mysterious and strange. His strength was even more powerful and unknown. He was so mysterious and strange that even the so-called Divine Trial of the Gods could not completely erase him. He was so powerful and unknown that no one knew how powerful he was.
But this world, this Great Way, was this world weak?
No.
It was definitely not weak.
Not only was it not weak, but it was also very powerful.
More than 20 years ago, the Divine Trial might not be able to erase him, but it did not mean that it could not erase him today.
More than 20 years ago, the Great Way could not do anything to him, but it did not mean that it could not do anything today.
Whether it was the origin of heaven and earth or the origin of the Great Way, they were all being reorganized. It could be said that they were changing day by day and getting stronger day by day. In addition, the big shots of various Great Ways had gradually recovered and returned. Naturally, they would not be afraid of Gu Qingfeng.
But why did Pudu still kneel down and beg for forgiveness in such a humble manner?
Perhaps Pudu really did not want Gu Qingfeng to have a conflict with the 3,000 Great Ways today.
For the time being, not to mention whether the 3,000 Great Ways could do anything to Gu Qingfeng today, even if they could, they would definitely pay a heavy price.
This was not important. What was important was that Wudao Mountain was about to appear. Once Gu Qingfeng fought with the 3,000 Great Ways at this time, it would inevitably affect Wudao Mountain. At that time, no one could predict what terrible things would happen.
Perhaps this was what Pudu was most worried about.
Another point was that Pudu was kneeling down like this. He probably wanted to use his sincerity to move Gu Qingfeng. He hoped that Gu Qingfeng would consider the overall situation and hand over little Jin Er.
As expected.
Pudu, who was kneeling in the air, said, "Now that the Blood Moon has appeared, the little girl's soul and bloodline have begun to awaken. Although I have used the Buddhist Swastika Seal to temporarily seal the Blood Moon, it is only temporary. The Buddhist Swastika Seal will not last long. I hope Layman Gu will hand the little girl over to me. The Buddhas of Western Heaven will do everything possible to purify the little girl's soul."
Silence.
It had always been this way.
Gu Qingfeng never said a word. He just comforted the unconscious little Jin Er in his arms.
But Pudu did not give up. He said sincerely, "I know Layman Gu has lived a lonely and lonely life. It has not been easy for you to come this far. I do not expect Layman Gu to have a compassionate heart. I do not expect Layman Gu to think for the so-called world, the so-called Great Ways, the so-called heaven and earth, and the so-called sentient beings. Because the world, the Great Ways, the heaven and earth, and the sentient beings have never been compassionate to Layman Gu."
"This Penniless Monk only wishes for the young lady's sake. Once the young lady's soul awakens, she will no longer be that obedient and adorable girl. She will no longer be that innocent and kind-hearted young lady."
