The Golden Cicada Master Was Banished to the Mortal Realm
After Ye Dao finished doing all this, he did not stay any longer. He told a few acolytes to bring him to the crane and then left in a hurry.
Great Thunderclap Temple.
Kasyapa was reported to by his acolyte. He frowned and was a little suspicious.
"This kid went to the Golden Cicada Master to seek Buddhist teachings?”
However, his gaze seemed to have seen Ye Dao who had already left. He shook his head,"Forget it. It's fine. This time, I'll erase the karma…"
"For a mortal to be able to discuss Dao like this, it might not be fate. There might be a Buddhist fate blessing in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”
……
Time passed quickly.
Several days passed.
Great Thunderclap Temple.
Lord Tathagata slowly opened his eyes."Let the ten thousand Buddhas pay their respects to the sect, gather in the Great Buddha Hall, open an altar to give lectures, and promote Buddhism.”
Soon, all the Buddhas gathered together. All the Bodhisattvas stood up, and the Arhats sat cross-legged. There were also countless Buddhist monks listening to the Buddhist Dharma and chanting Buddhist scriptures.
This was a great golden age!
"Amitabha!"
Tathagata casually recited the scriptures. As he spoke, golden lotuses appeared, and Dao and reason fell. Endless Dao runes gathered above the Great Buddha Hall, and Buddhist light reached ten thousand feet, condensing into a golden body that was ten thousand feet tall. It was vast and bright, resounding throughout the three worlds…
All the Buddhists, be it Bodhisattvas, Arhats, or novice monks, were enlightened at this moment and were intoxicated by what they heard.
However, the person in second place under Rulai was 'thinking hard' and was filled with confusion and chaos.
In the end, when Tathagata preached: "All living beings need to be saved. We should promote the Buddhist Dharma and teach all living beings to be Buddhas!”
The Golden Cicada Master slowly asked,"Dare I ask Buddha, can Buddhism make everyone good?”
The Ancestral Buddha sat on the lotus throne and frowned slightly. Then, he opened his mouth and said in a grand Buddhist voice,""My Buddha is merciful and can naturally make the world turn to Buddha and everyone be good.”
The Golden Cicada Master couldn't answer his question and muttered to himself,"" If that's the case, then why are there evil people at the foot of the Spirited Mountain, good people falling into reincarnation, and the Western Paradise…Is there any method of Bliss…"
"If you put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha, what's the difference between good and evil?……How can such a method be good…"
"Spirited Mountain has stood for countless years. Has the world ever suffered a little less…Then what's the use of Buddha? What's the use of this Buddhist Dharma?"
The moment these words were spoken, the gods and Buddhas in the sky were furious.
"Golden Cicada Master! Don't spout nonsense!"
"Such Buddhist principles are not spoken by our Buddhist Sect!”
"The Golden Cicada Master's Buddhist teachings went astray…"
The voices of fighting rose and fell.
Rulai hung high above the lotus throne, his eyes filled with anger."Our Buddha saves people from hardship and saves all living beings!”
"Golden Cicada Master, you did not listen to my teachings and belittled my great sect. I demote you to the mortal world to experience ten lifetimes of bitter cultivation to understand the various states of the human world.”
Instantly, everyone in the Western Paradise who didn't know what had happened was stunned.
Some of the acolytes whispered among themselves, their buddha hearts trembling.
The Golden Cicada Master was the second disciple of Rulai. He had extraordinary talent and profound Buddhist teachings. He had the reputation of being the second Sakyamuni.
But now…
However, it was mostly calm.
Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and the others had calm gazes.
Although the Golden Cicada Master's words were somewhat surprising, the result was within expectations.
Maitreya sat deep in the Buddhist Sect and sighed slightly."This is a destiny."
The Eighteen Arhats shook their heads slightly.
Billions of novice monks felt sorrow in their hearts.
A great buddha died…
As for the Golden Cicada Master, his expression didn't change at all when he heard this. It was as if he had seen through everything. His eyes were still filled with wisdom."If I don't go to hell, who will?"
"How is this Buddhist Dharma? How is this Buddhist Dharma? How is the world…I should personally comprehend it. If this Buddhist Dharma is really useless…"
The Golden Cicada Master didn't even notice that his Buddha Heart had cracked.
Its own Dharma was completely different from Tathagata's Mahayana Dharma.
Jing Ye Dao asked him three times, let him doubt.
Now, a crack had finally appeared in front of the ten thousand Buddhas…
"If Buddhism is just an excuse to restrain benefits, if Buddhism exists only to obtain merit…then why should I believe in this Buddha…"
The Golden Cicada Master was filled with many doubts as he was personally escorted by Ksitigarbha from the Netherworld by Rulai to protect his true spirit and throw it into the cycle of reincarnation.
……
Above the ten thousand Buddhas, Rulai frowned slightly.
The Golden Cicada Master was acting a little strange today…
Many Bodhisattvas and Arhats had the same thought.
Although the Buddhist teachings were different, it was not like this.
Under Rulai, the first-in-line felt a little guilty.
Kasyapa seemed to have thought of something and muttered,"No way, no way…"
He felt like…he had been tricked!
……
Mount Lingtai and Mount Fangcun.
Bodhi Cave.
Patriarch Subhuti sensed something from within the cave. He slowly opened his eyes, but there was a hint of doubt in his indifference." The Golden Cicada Master descended earlier than expected. It seems like Senior Brother can't sit still anymore…"
"Since that's the case, it's time to let this wheel of tribulation roll faster!”
……
Monkey Cave Abode.
Monkey was still comprehending the past body when he shuddered, as if he had sensed something amiss.
"Strange, I, Old Sun, was born with a strong magic power. Could it be that I've been infected with a cold?”
He could only laugh and then quickly sit cross-legged to cultivate, not daring to think too much.
Monkey could not help but mutter.
"Amitabha, Heavenly Lord of the Boundless, please bless me, Senior Brother…"
……
Not far away from the Tristar Crescent Abode.
"The Golden Cicada Master has successfully descended to the mortal world, and his plan has been achieved."”
"I have left a deep mark on his Buddhist heart. When the time comes, I can use it as an excuse.”
After that, when the crane arrived at the mountain gate, Ye Dao exchanged a few more pleasantries with it before rushing back to his cave abode.
To be on the safe side, Ye Dao directly announced that he was in seclusion that day to prevent the Buddhist Sect from investigating.
Ye Dao Cave Abode.
Ye Dao calculated all kinds of things, his eyes shining.
Now that he had so many backup plans, why would he worry about not having someone to share the binding with?
Ye Dao only felt that the future was promising!
