Regarding the arrival of Ksitigarbha this time, The Buddha did not pay much attention to it, assuming that he was just coming to check on the progress of the Westward Journey for the scriptures, which is crucial for the flourishing of Buddhism. As an Ancient Bodhisattva of Buddhism, it was only natural for him to be concerned.
Now, the main enemy of Buddhism is Bai Jin. The thought of Bai Jin sending Tang Sanzang a Golden Hoop filled The Buddha with rage; how could Tongtian Sect Master, such an upright figure, have accepted such a disciple without any bottom line? It was truly detestable.
After leaving Western Spirit Mountain, Ksitigarbha did not return to the Underworld but went straight to the Heavenly Court Bird Nest.
In the pavilion inside the Bird Nest, Bai Jin and Ksitigarbha sat facing each other with two cups of tea steaming auspiciously in front of them.
