“Amitabha Buddha…”
Upon hearing the words of the Medicine Buddha, Jiang Liu whispered a Buddhist chant and said, “Since it is Maitreya Buddha who is severely wounded and in critical condition, how could a few potions put me at ease?
I should personally see the condition of Buddha before deciding!”
“Xuanzang, your primary task now is to embark on the Journey to the West for Scriptures, to attain the scriptures early and ferry sentient beings to the other shore.
Beyond that, you should not be distracted by other matters!”
“So, leave Maitrea Buddha’s situation to me!
Just hand me a few potions!”
Regarding Jiang Liu’s request to accompany him, the Medicine Buddha shook his head, indicating refusal.
The words of the venerable indeed made sense, but along the Westward Journey, Maitreya Buddha has always taken care of me.
How could I be at ease without seeing for myself?” Shaking his head, Jiang Liu’s expression was resolute.
The Medicine Buddha was using Maitreya Buddha as an excuse to take healing potions from himself?
Then, he also showed immense respect towards Maitreya Buddha, not handing out the potion but expressing a definite intention to visit.
Without visiting, he would not be at ease, causing him to lose sleep and appetite, and even hindering his progress on the Journey to the West for Scriptures.
Seeing how insistent Jiang Liu was, the Medicine Buddha silently pondered for a moment before, with a helpless expression and a long sigh, he said, “In that case, Xuanzang, come with me to see him!”
What choice was there?
He could only agree.
Hopefully, upon personally seeing the severity of Maitreya Buddha’s injuries, he would produce the healing potion!
“I wonder, where is Maitreya Buddha now?” Hearing that the Medicine Buddha had actually agreed, Jiang Liu was slightly startled and then quickly asked.
“Maitreya Buddha is currently in my Medicine Buddha Hall!” replied the Medicine Buddha upon hearing Jiang Liu’s query.
“Oh, I see, then Venerable, let us be on our way…” Upon hearing the Medicine Buddha’s response, Jiang Liu nodded and spoke.
The Medicine Buddha Hall was also in Niuhe State, however, it was on the side closer to Julu Continent.
Jiang Liu followed closely behind the Medicine Buddha, flying through the air, and it did not take much time before they reached the Medicine Buddha Hall.
Of course, Zhu Bajie and the others were left behind, waiting for Jiang Liu’s return.
Upon arriving at the Medicine Buddha Hall, Jiang Liu indeed saw the figure of Maitreya Buddha lying on a Lotus Platform, his chubby body motionless as if he were dead, his breath very weak.
Of course, Jiang Liu’s gaze primarily fell on Maitreya Buddha’s health bar.
The long health bar was down to a sliver.
From the health bar, it was evident that Maitreya Buddha’s condition was extremely critical.
At the same time, there were quite a few people inside the great hall of the Medicine Buddha Hall, clearly, they were all there because of Maitreya Buddha’s injuries; even Tathagata had arrived.
“Such severe injuries, what a pity…” Seeing the condition of Maitreya Buddha’s injuries, both shock and exasperation filled Jiang Liu’s heart.
The injuries were so severe, yet Maitreya Buddha still hadn’t died?
Wouldn’t it have been better if Maitreya Buddha had simply been finished off?
“Xuanzang, you’ve arrived?”
Putting aside what was in Jiang Liu’s mind, Tathagata in the hall turned to look at Jiang Liu who was walking in and spoke.
“Disciple Xuanzang, pays respects to Buddha, pays respects to all Venerables…”
Hearing Tathagata speak to him directly, Jiang Liu immediately adopted a very respectful demeanor, carefully tidied up his Buddha’s Robe, took a few steps forward, and bowed respectfully.
“Enough, no need for so many formalities…”
Before Jiang Liu could finish speaking, Tathagata interrupted him and said, “Right now, Maitreya Buddha’s injuries are extremely severe.
I know you have Divine Medicine in your possession that can be used for healing.
Hurry and administer it to Maitreya Buddha!”
Although he secretly wished for Maitreya Buddha’s demise, this was neither the time nor the place to break ties with Buddhism.
Naturally, Jiang Liu had no choice but to comply.
However, after pondering for a while, Jiang Liu walked towards Maitreya Buddha and made a show of examining his injuries thoroughly.
“Buddha…”
Turning towards Tathagata, Jiang Liu said, “Maitreya Buddha’s injuries are extremely severe.
Using mere potions to heal is inefficient, let me personally intervene!”
Without wasting words, Jiang Liu raised his hand and gently pointed towards Maitreya Buddha.
The Guanyin Mantra was directly cast upon Maitreya Buddha.
Visibly, the almost depleted health bar above Maitreya Buddha’s head, which was in grave danger of expiring at any moment, immediately recovered a significant portion.
Naturally, the originally dire injuries on his body also improved somewhat.
“Excellent skills, wonderful divine powers!”
The other Buddhas nearby, who had witnessed the rapid transformation of Maitreya Buddha’s injuries, also wore expressions full of astonishment as they exclaimed.
Healing Maitreya Buddha’s wounds to such an extent in the blink of an eye?
Such divine skills were truly terrifying!
Healing Holy Hand!
It wasn’t over yet; after reciting the Guanyin Mantra, with the intention of fully saving a life, he also wanted to make a good impression in front of so many Buddhas.
Jiang Liu raised his hand again, and instantly, the sacred object of the Healing Holy Hand materialized out of thin air and landed on the ground.
The unseen waves spread out and swept over the body of Maitreya Buddha, quickly restoring his injuries significantly within just 30 seconds.
Originally having barely a shred of health remaining, the health bar over Maitreya Buddha’s head also recovered to more than half its full state.
“So impressive, in just a while, Maitreya Buddha’s injuries have recovered by sixty or seventy percent, right?” another Buddha nearby remarked with a tone of awe.
“Such supernatural powers are truly impressive, much more than I am capable of…” Even Medicine Buddha, his heart secretly sighed after witnessing Jiang Liu’s use of both the Guanyin Mantra and the Healing Holy Hand.
Having always considered himself as the foremost practitioner of medical skills within the Buddhist Sect, his position now seemed to be under the greatest threat?
Once this Journey to the West for Scriptures was over and Xuanzang was conferred an official Buddhahood, would he, Medicine Buddha, have to hand over his title to him?
“Such divine skills, indeed impressive, even stronger than those divine medicines,” observed the Tathagata Buddha silently as he noted the change in Maitreya Buddha’s condition.
After all, Xuanzang was a person of the Buddhist Sect, even a reincarnation of one of his disciples, right?
So, he was one of his people, correct?
Looking at it this way, it seemed quite favorable, didn’t it?
If next time he were to fight with Wutian again, and if he could bring Xuanzang along, having him occasionally heal in such a manner would surely be more practical than using treatment-type divine medicine, wouldn’t it?
Regardless of what others thought, with the improvement in his condition, Maitreya Buddha, who had been severely injured and unconscious, gradually opened his eyes.
“Buddha, you have awakened, that’s great!”
Seeing Maitreya Buddha regaining consciousness, many nearby Buddhas started speaking out one after another, looking incredibly pleased.
“What, what’s this…”
Having been unconscious for a long while before waking up, Maitreya Buddha looked around at the familiar faces, his eyes filled with confusion and a bit slow in response.
However, after thinking for a while, his memory swiftly returned, and Maitreya Buddha understood.
Hadn’t he been trapped in the Great Nirvana Temple by Wutian?
A trap had been set, ensnaring him.
If not for the Sage Sect Master giving him some self-protection means a few days ago, perhaps he would have perished in the Demon Realm?
But even so, his injuries had been severe; even if he hadn’t died, he was almost crippled.
“It seems I have been saved, haven’t I!?” Recalling the events that had transpired in the Demon Realm, a sense of fortunate relief surged in Maitreya Buddha’s heart.
“Fortunately, it was just a scare, waking up is what matters!” Tathagata Buddha stepped forward and looked at Maitreya Buddha, also appearing very joyful as he spoke.
“Many thanks to Buddha Tathagata,” Maitreya Buddha spoke his thanks.
Being the head of Buddhism, him standing by one’s side already amounted to giving ample face, naturally, on the surface, Maitreya Buddha would also appear perfectly grateful.
“No need to thank me; it was Xuanzang who revived you!” Tathagata Buddha waved his hand and pointed at Jiang Liu nearby as he spoke.
“Xuanzang, was it you?” Turning his head to look at Jiang Liu, Maitreya Buddha’s face showed a trace of astonishment.
“Indeed, Buddha, the divine skills of Xuanzang are truly formidable.
In just a moment, your injuries have already healed by sixty to seventy percent!”
Upon hearing this, several Buddhas approached a bit closer and began to speak, each relaying in detail the scene of Jiang Liu healing Maitreya Buddha’s injuries just moments prior.
“So that’s what happened!” Hearing these Buddhas speak of how Jiang Liu had restored a significant portion of his injuries in mere moments, Maitreya Buddha inwardly sighed with awe.
He had not expected Xuanzang’s healing methods to be so exceptionally outstanding.
“Wait, hold on…”
In his moment of amazement, suddenly, a thought struck Maitreya Buddha, his gaze falling on Jiang Liu.
He had always thought his severed arm could be restored with the Divine Water from Guanyin’s Pure Jade Vase, but the situation with Guanyin had become complicated.
Since Xuanzang’s healing divine skills were so formidable, perhaps he could let Xuanzang try to heal it for him?
