The Golden Cicada Master Passed in Meditation
The next day.
As usual, Rulai was explaining the Buddhist Dharma in the Great Thunderclap Monastery.
Gathering of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Complete Collection of Bodhisattvas, Arhat Dojo, Silence of Three Thousand Gaidhi…There were also countless believers and monks gathered at the foot of the spiritual mountain to listen to Rulai's explanation of the Buddhist Dharma.
Gautama Buddha sat cross-legged on the Seven Treasures Lotus Throne. Buddhist light surrounded his body. Seven-colored Buddhist light gathered behind him and rippled in all directions, emitting a vast Buddhist might.
When he opened his eyes slightly, there were endless Dao runes circulating, enough to see through the void and see through everything.
Looking around the Great Thunderclap Monastery, he saw that all the Buddhas had gathered in the main hall, showing the grandeur of the Buddhist Sect. Rulai was quite satisfied.
After several calamities, the west was finally about to welcome its great prosperity.
A smile appeared on his calm face.
"Today is the second day of my lecture on the Supreme Buddhist Dharma for three days. Yesterday, I explained the method of illusion and reality, and today, I will talk about the method of creation. As I heard, in one day..."
Rulai casually recited scriptures. Buddhist chants curled up, and golden lotuses appeared. Endless Dao runes circulated, and Dao and reason interweaved around him. There were also endless gods of order looming in the void, emitting a mighty deterrence.
Along with the chanting of the scriptures, the Great Thunderclap Temple also emitted a dazzling Buddhist light. Everyone in the three worlds could witness such a grand Buddhist meeting.
All the Buddhist disciples, from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to the monks and nuns, and the believers of the Buddhist Kingdom in the human world, were intoxicated. They were enlightened and immersed in the wonderful Dharma of Tathagata.
However, there were two people in the hall who did not listen carefully to Rulai's sermon.
One of them was the Golden-Winged Roc. He was not interested in Buddhism to begin with.
If he wasn't the guardian of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, he wouldn't have wanted to participate in the Dharma Conference.
He had the cultivation method that Yuan Feng had taught him to begin with.
He was originally an ancient Quasi-Sage expert, and his strength was above Rulai's. His cultivation method was naturally above Rulai's Wondrous Method.
The Golden-Winged Roc naturally wouldn't put the Rulai Mystic Technique in his eyes.
As for the Golden-Winged Roc, he was in a daze, and Xu Fei's words kept echoing in his heart.
"I have a way to resurrect Yuan Feng!"
It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing.
In order to revive Yuan Feng, he and Kong Xuan had been running around for millions of years.
Even though the Golden-Winged Great Peng did not quite believe Xu Fei's words, it still had some doubts in its heart.
He couldn't help but raise his head to look at Tathagata.
Would it really be like what Xu Fei said, that he would be used as a chess piece in the plan to travel to the west, and in the future, he would be beaten down to the mortal world by Rulai and reduced to a demon in the Shi Tuo Kingdom?
If that was really the case, Xu Fei might not be lying when he said that he could revive Yuan Feng.
The Golden-Winged Roc thought to himself and didn't pay attention to Rulai's lecture.
The Buddhist disciples at the side also knew that the Golden-Winged Roc was usually like this, so they did not say anything and only listened to the Buddhist Dharma.
There was another person who was frowning at this moment. His eyes were filled with confusion, and his face was filled with struggle.
It was as if there were countless thoughts in his heart that were constantly interweaving, pushing, and breaking down.
This monk was the Golden Cicada Master.
After hearing Xu Fei's words that day, the Golden Cicada Master's rock-solid Buddhist heart began to waver.
The Dharma in his heart was the opposite of the Spirit Mountain Dharma and the Tathagata Dharma.
But now, the Tathagata Dharma had the support of billions of believers and the faith of gods and buddhas.
Was he wrong, or was Tathagata wrong?
Or was the entire Buddhist Sect wrong?
The Golden Cicada Master pondered for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason.
However, he knew that this was not the technique he wanted!
If Buddhism can't save everyone, how about practicing Buddhism?
A moment later, the Golden Cicada Master took a deep breath and a determined expression appeared on his face.
Looking at Rulai who was explaining the Miaocheng Dharma, the Golden Cicada Master suddenly said,"Dare I ask Buddha, can Buddhism make people good? Can Buddhism save all living beings?"
Tathagata stopped his explanation and frowned slightly as he looked at the Golden Cicada Master. His deep gaze couldn't help but turn gloomy.
The rest of the Buddhas also looked at the Golden Cicada Master, their eyes filled with confusion.
The Buddhas did not understand why the Golden Cicada Master would ask such a question out of the blue and even dared to interrupt Rulai's explanation of the Buddhist Dharma.
As the second disciple of Rulai, the Golden Cicada Master was an eminent monk of the Great All-Embracing Heaven on the Spirit Mountain.
Such actions were disrespectful to Tathagata and the Buddhist Dharma.
Therefore, the expressions of the Buddhas were somewhat unfriendly, but no one dared to say a word because of the Golden Cicada Master's identity.
For a time, the hall actually fell silent.
Tathagata slowly opened his mouth, his Buddhist voice vast and boundless."My Buddha is merciful and can naturally make the world good and save all living beings.”
The Golden Cicada Master seemed to have heard a joke as a cold smile appeared on his face. He shook his head and said,"If that's the case, then why are there countless evildoers and evil people everywhere except for the Spirited Mountain Buddhist Kingdom? The Buddhist Dharma says that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. Those who do evil will fall into the endless hell, and those who do good will be reborn in the Western Paradise.”
"However, the evildoers are still at large, while the good doers are bullied. There is no reward for good, no reward for evil, and no one has ever been born in the Western Paradise.”
The sneer on the Golden Cicada Master's face grew even more pronounced."Spirited Mountain has stood for countless years, and there are countless gods and Buddhas, but the suffering of the human world has never lessened!”
"The people of the world turn to Buddha for good in order to break free from the sea of suffering, but Buddha only cares about the sufferings of the human world. What's the use of a cultivator's Buddhist Dharma!"
As soon as he said this, all the gods and buddhas in the Great Thunderclap Temple were shocked.
He looked at the Golden Cicada Master in disbelief, not knowing why the Golden Cicada Master dared to say such disgraceful words.
Many Buddhist disciples were furious and berated.
"How dare you! Golden Cicada Master, what nonsense are you spouting!”
"Golden Cicada, you are a Buddhist disciple and Rulai's second disciple, yet you dare to question our Buddha.”
"It's true that the Buddha saves all living beings. Golden Cicada Master, you're actually as ignorant as the rest of the world.”
The scolding continued.
Rulai was enveloped in the chaotic Qi. His expression was gloomy and his eyes were filled with anger.
"Golden Cicada Master, as a disciple of our Buddhist Sect, you dare to question our Buddha and belittle the Buddhist Dharma. Today, I will punish you to be burned by the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus for a hundred years.”
Rulai's words resounded throughout the entire hall like a great bell.
When the Buddhas heard this, they all revealed satisfied expressions.
If the Golden Cicada Master dared to anger Rulai, he would have offended the reverse scale of Buddhism.
Some of the monks even sneered.
As Rulai's disciple, the Golden Cicada Master actually didn't know how to cherish it, and even dared to belittle him. He didn't listen to Rulai's words. He was simply stupid.
Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and the others frowned.
The Golden Cicada Master had deep Buddhist roots and profound Buddhist teachings. He had obtained the true teachings of Rulai. How could he do such a thing in the hall today?
"No need."
At this moment, the Golden Cicada Master's voice rang out.
"Spirited Mountain is not the Spirited Mountain in my heart, and Tathagata Dharma is not the Dharma in my heart. Today, I will disperse all my knowledge and return to samsara to verify the true Dharma in my heart.”
After saying that, the Golden Cicada Master put his palms together.
The expression on his face was resolute and unrestrained, without a trace of hesitation.
Boundless Buddhist light erupted from the Golden Cicada Master's body.
Boom!
It was as if a tall building had collapsed.
The Golden Cicada Master's voice was completely dispersed.
Without the Buddhist Dharma, the Golden Cicada Master was just a mortal. His face was pale and his body was weak.
However, a smile appeared on his face and he closed his eyes.
The Golden Cicada Master died on the spot.
Everything happened in an instant.
The Buddhas of the Spirit Mountain were all dumbfounded.
