Lingji Bodhisattva said, "The three of you had agreed earlier, had you not?"
Pishu King replied, "You didn't mention there'd be a baldie coming to mess things up before! Anyway, we're not going!"
Lingji Bodhisattva said, "Originally, you were also destined to face this tribulation and die here, abandoning your demon bodies to achieve something higher..."
Pichen King said, "Right, that's exactly why we agreed to come. But that baldie hits too hard, and what if he doesn't play by the rules? We three brothers would end up dead without achieving the Dao. We're not going, not going, not even if you beat us to death!"
Lingji Bodhisattva was at a loss for what to do; he had already been persuading these three for half a month, but to no avail—they just wouldn't budge, adamantly refusing to go to Jinping Mansion and continue with the act.
At the same time, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was also encountering trouble.
Atop the moon.
