The Celestial Hound used all its strength to activate the Secret of Movement and soon arrived at the foot of the spiritual mountain.
The Buddhist light shone here all year round, resplendent and vast. It was like the sun hanging high in the sky, illuminating the world in all directions.
Xiao Tianquan stood at the foot of the mountain in a pair of green shorts, attracting attention.
He looked up at the Spirited Mountain. He didn't know its boundaries, but it spanned across the universe, facing the sky and surrounding the four universes.
Although it stood tall in the human world, entering the mountain gate was a boundless space.
The Buddhist Sect boasted that the Spirit Mountain was the center of the three thousand worlds and spanned across the universe.
Someone walked up from the foot of the mountain and kowtowed three times with each step. He had a pious expression and was chanting Buddhist scriptures. He wanted to make a pilgrimage to the spiritual mountain.
Someone walked out of the Spirited Mountain, stepping on auspicious clouds and lotus flowers with each step. He wanted to preach to the three thousand worlds, create a supreme Buddhist country, and consolidate his faith.
Xiao Tianquan stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the dense crowd that was rushing back and forth.
He couldn't help but feel a headache.
"I was too careless! He was too careless! This emperor has been careless again this time!"
"Putting aside the fact that the Golden Cicada Master isn't really a one-track-minded person, the problem now is that I can't find him at all! I have no clue at all."
"Don't tell me I'm going to fail again this time?”
Xiao Tianquan complained in his heart.
In addition, the chanting of the Buddhas on the Spirit Mountain was endless.
His head was spinning.
"Why don't we just give up…"
The Celestial Hound stuck out its tongue. It felt very uncomfortable being illuminated by the Buddhist light.
"No! If I give up again and again, what will my master and my fellow disciples think of me?!”
"Where will I put my face?”
"That Yang Jian is fine. After all, he is my junior brother. It is not good to force him.”
"I will definitely take down this Golden Cicada Master! It would be a great honor to take in a Buddhist Sons of Buddha as a pet!”
Xiao Tianquan thought to himself.
Not long after, a plan appeared in its mind.
"Let's give it a try!"
……
Not long after, in the West Ox Continent.
The Celestial Hound found an intersection on a main road, which was still some distance away from the Spirit Mountain.。
He sat down casually.
He began to pretend to mutter,"Bow to the original pure heart, the endless Buddha hid the Great Mercy.”
"Fragrant clouds, fragrant rain clouds, and rain of flowers in the southern world.”
"There are countless types of treasure rain and clouds, all of which are auspicious and solemn!”
The Celestial Hound muttered, and a Buddhist light actually appeared behind its head.
White lotus flowers descended from the sky, making it look like an accomplished monk.
Most of the people in the Western Ox Continent were Buddhist believers.
He saw that it was black and shiny, but it was wearing a pair of flowery green leather pants.
His mouth was still reciting Buddhist scriptures, producing endless phenomena.
It immediately aroused the curiosity of many people.
They all rushed over.
This was originally a main road intersection, so it was immediately surrounded until not even water could leak out.
The Celestial Hound had just returned to Mount Innerheart and found Jiang Yunxu to cram for Buddha's feet at the last minute. He had learned some Buddhist scriptures and thought of some excuses.
It would be easier for him to carry out his plan.
Since he couldn't find the Golden Cicada Master, he might as well be generous and lure him out.
However, this method was too risky.
It would easily arouse the suspicion of the Buddhist Sect and be targeted by them.
This place was not far from the Spirit Mountain, and there were eyes and ears of the Buddhist Sect everywhere.
After reciting another paragraph of scripture, Xiao Tianquan had already finished reciting all the Buddhist scriptures that he had memorized at the last minute.
Hence, he stopped.
Many Buddhists immediately felt their hearts itch and urged,"Senior monk, why didn't you continue?”
Xiao Tianquan closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed.
"I came from Luojia Mountain in the South Sea. I didn't come here to open an altar and preach scriptures, but to find someone to debate the scriptures with me.”
"Alas, I was hoping for an opponent but couldn't find one. It's really lonely and embarrassing!”
Everyone gasped when they heard that it came from the Luojia Mountain in the South Sea.
That was the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Could it be that this weird-looking 'senior monk' was a direct disciple of South Sea?!
Someone in the crowd asked,"Senior monk, may I ask what kind of Dharma you practice?" What kind of debate is this?"
Xiao Tianquan opened his eyes and said lightly," The Three Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, the Vinaya Sutra, the Lunzang Sutra, and the Sutra Sutra have a total of more than 600 volumes. The Hinayana Buddhism, the Shengwenayana, and the Jueyanayana have a total of 1,300 volumes…"
It added in its heart.
"I won't cultivate any of these! I'm not a real monk!"
Exclamations of admiration rose and fell from the crowd.
Whatever titles such as " physical body arhat " and " Bodhisattva in the world " were all given to it.
No wonder they were so shocked.
The Mahayana Buddhism was the orthodox Buddhism.
If an ordinary person could cultivate one scripture in their lifetime, they would be able to attain the Dao and would be honored as a Daoist.
The number of scriptures that the Virtuous Eminences had studied in their entire lives was only a dozen or so.
He was already exhausted and exhausted.
This strange creature before him had actually cultivated more than 600 scrolls.
Moreover, the simultaneous cultivation of Mahayana and Hinayana not only had the great ambition of becoming a Buddha with all living beings, but also the clarity of not crossing the world's common people, but only crossing one's own body.
What kind of terrifying comprehension was this?!
Could it be that it was the reincarnation of Buddha and the direct disciple of Guanyin?!
In the future, another Great Buddha would probably sit in the vast Buddhist Kingdom and open a lecture for all living beings to save them.
Xiao Tianquan enjoyed the envy of everyone.
He was immersed in the waves of flattery.
This made it very useful.
Another person asked," Eminence, you're saying this to debate the scriptures and discuss the Dao. May I ask what scriptures and Dao you're debating?"”
The Celestial Hound shook its head and said,"I don't talk about my Dao with mortals."”
"I've visited more than 1,480 monasteries, but none of them can fight me.”
"From then on, I was deeply tired and did not want to reveal my Great Dao casually. I was only waiting for someone worthy.”
Everyone agreed.
"Esteemed monk, may I ask, who is the person worth your wait?!”
"I heard that on the Spirit Mountain, in the depths of the endless Buddhist Kingdom, there is a Great Buddha called the Golden Cicada Master.”
"Legend has it that this person was once an autumn cicada on the Bodhi tree. Because he heard the Buddha preach, he gained enlightenment and entered the Dao. He shed his golden cicada shell and transformed into a human. He was accepted as the second disciple of the Buddha.”
"The opponent I've been searching for is the Golden Cicada Master. Only he can debate the scriptures with me.”
Xiao Tianquan said.
After he mentioned the name of the Golden Cicada Master.
The noisy environment immediately quieted down.
In the Western Ox Continent, this name was considered taboo.
According to the Buddhist legends, this person was born with wisdom and had long reached the Great Enlightenment Realm. He also had a loving heart and often left the Buddhist Kingdom to save people in distress.
The outsiders called him the Buddha.
However, he had betrayed the orthodox path and contradicted many of the profound truths of the Buddhist Sect. He had even quarreled with the Buddha.。
Many of his scriptures were not passed down.
They were all sealed in the Sutra Depository of the Spirit Mountain and were not allowed to be read by all living beings.
It was a pity.
After a moment of silence, someone finally said,""I wonder what opinion the eminent monk has to debate with the Arhat? Everyone in my Western Ox Continent worships Buddha. They have deep roots in wisdom and are well versed in Buddhist rituals. Why don't you say it and let us comprehend it together!”
Xiao Tianquan sighed and said in a desolate tone,""Alright, I'll tell you what I've argued…"
Everyone listened attentively.
"My Buddha preaches that all dharmas are void, and everything is like a dream. He also preached that only by believing in Buddha could one be reborn in bliss, or else one would go to hell to suffer after death.”
"Then is the Buddha, the Elysian World, and the Hell Samsara void? If it was Kong, then what was the use of worshipping him? If it wasn't Kong, then wasn't his Buddhist Dharma contradictory?”
"Then I believe in his loneliness!"
Xiao Tianquan said leisurely.
As soon as it finished speaking.
Countless thunderbolts fell from the Spirited Mountain, as if the Buddha was shocked and angry, and the King of Wisdom was furious.
This sentence completely subverted Buddhism and went straight to the core of Buddhism.
So a strange phenomenon fell from the sky.
Xiao Tianquan was shocked. So petty! I only said a few words to you, and you want to strike me?!”
The expressions of the crowd who had just called Xiao Tianquan "eminent monk" instantly changed.
But he didn't know how to retort.
Therefore, they all jumped out and cursed.
"Nonsense, where did this nonsense come from!”
"You demon monk, you're spreading nonsense here! Are you even worthy of discussing the Dao with the Arhat?"
"You have long fallen into the demonic path!"
A Buddha on the Spirited Mountain sensed it.
He knew that the phenomenon that descended from the sky was extraordinary.
Thus, he summoned Qielan and asked him to go and investigate.
A moment later, he reported back.
"Buddha, there is a large black dog preaching in the middle of the road. It is talking nonsense and has incurred the wrath of the heavens.”
The Buddha frowned." Get someone to capture him and throw him into the Blood Pool Hell on the grounds of blasphemy."”
"Yes, sir!"
Outside the Spirited Mountain, in the middle of the road, more and more people gathered.
They had heard that someone had profaned Buddhism by using the excuse of debate.
Therefore, he was extremely angry.
Facing everyone's accusations and curses, Xiao Tianquan's expression did not change.
The leather shorts she was wearing were sparkling.
There were also a few temples that came from Spirited Mountain, wanting to throw him into reincarnation.
However, he couldn't lift it at all. In the end, he could only leave in embarrassment and ask for help.
There were also people who went up to debate with it, but they returned in defeat after a few words.
Every time someone left angrily, it would emphasize.
"Only the Golden Cicada Master is worthy of being my opponent.”
For a moment, the place was bustling with activity. The sound of chanting rose and fell, comparable to the foot of the spiritual mountain.
Amidst the noise, Xiao Tianquan finally learned that the Golden Cicada Master was punished to face the wall and cultivate in the Bitter Zen Temple because he had contradicted Rulai.
He could not get out at all.
As a result, Xiao Tianquan's words became more and more arrogant and impudent.
He wanted to anger these people and bring it to the Golden Cicada Master.
"Ah! It's really embarrassing to be lonely and embarrassed if you can't get a defeat!”
"I sit and watch the ages, overlooking the reincarnation of the heavens! Invincibility is also a kind of pain!"
"What do you know about the Dharma of the hammer! You believe in loneliness!"
"Why don't you convert to me as soon as possible and become my pet? I'll guide you to the Great Dao!”
Finally, someone couldn't hold it in anymore. He was a novice monk under Ananda. Today, he went out of Spirited Mountain to ask for offerings from the people.
In the end, he heard Xiao Tianquan talking nonsense here.
However, he couldn't refute it.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Big black dog! Stop arguing! I'll take you to see the Arhat! I'll let you know that there's always someone better!”
When Xiao Tianquan heard his address, he bared his teeth and said,""You monk, what did you say just now?”
The novice monk was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly corrected him,"Senior…Senior, I'll bring you to see the Arhat now and make you admit your defeat!”
Since Xiao Tianquan's wish had been fulfilled, he didn't argue with him.
Everyone crowded around him.
A moment later, they finally arrived at the Bitter Zen Temple at the foot of the spiritual mountain.
The Golden Cicada Master was facing the wall.
The temple emitted boundless light, and the Buddha's light shone.
Without permission, ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
However, with the little novice monk guiding it, the Celestial Hound was able to travel without any obstructions.
The others who were prepared to see the Arhat's true appearance were all stopped outside the temple.
The young monk walked up and explained the situation to the Golden Cicada Master.
The Golden Cicada Master stood up. He was wearing a white kasaya. His eyes were drooping and his ears were drooping. He was a benevolent Buddhist.。
The three thousand Buddhist Kingdoms behind him reflected the light, floating and sinking with him.
A hazy Buddhist light surrounded him, making it difficult to see him clearly.
There were only white lotuses that were born and destroyed as he breathed.
The Dharma Forms of all living beings appeared, including men, women, old and young, birds and beasts, and all kinds of creatures in the world.
He had already reached the Buddhist realm of 'all living beings are me, and I am all living beings'.
Buddhism is smooth and flexible, transcending all things, and the heart is like a clear mirror, unstained by dust.
As it approached him, Xiao Tianquan instantly felt much calmer.
There was even a faint intention to convert.
Hence, he hurriedly stood further away and muttered in his heart.
"This Golden Cicada Master is indeed worthy of being a Buddhist Son! I almost fell into his trap!"
The Golden Cicada Master looked at him. He felt like he had met him before, but he didn't dare to recognize him.
"You're the one who wants to debate with me?"”
Xiao Tianquan nodded.
He even reached out to grab his leather pants and scratched it twice, forming a sharp contrast with the Golden Cicada Master's aloofness.
……
At the same time, the Spirit Mountain Buddha Realm had also received the news.
There were people in the Western Bull Continent who were spreading heresy.
He called out the Golden Cicada Master to debate with him.
The Golden Cicada Master was an important figure in the Buddhist Sect's plan and was deeply involved in karma.
The other party pointed out his name. It was obvious that he had come prepared.
The Buddhist Sect was immediately on guard.
Therefore, after receiving the news, he immediately sent the three Arhats, Xianglong, Fuhu, and Longmei, to the Bitter Zen Temple.
To prevent any accidents.
The strength of these three Arhats was ranked first among the countless Arhats on the Spirit Mountain.
He was already at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Under the circumstances where the various large factions were hiding their strength.
It was enough to deal with most situations.
……
Inside the Bitter Zen Temple.
The Golden Cicada Master remained calm and asked,"You said that Buddhism says that all dharmas are empty and that everything is a dream…"
Xiao Tianquan suddenly shook his head.
"No, I don't want to talk about this with you. I want to change the question.”
The Golden Cicada Master was stunned.
"Please speak."
Xiao Tianquan crossed its front paws in front of its chest,"You have to promise me one thing."”
"If you lose, you have to be my human pet and call me Lord Black Empress in the future!”
"If I lose, you can do whatever you want to me!”
The Golden Cicada Master frowned and thought for a moment.
He had not agreed yet.
Xiao Tianquan beat him to it and said,"It's settled then!" The Golden Cicada Master! Can Buddhism make everyone in the world do good deeds?”
The Golden Cicada Master nodded.
"Of course. Our Buddhist Sect has always been merciful.”
The Celestial Hound shook its front paw,"No, Buddhism teaches people to do evil."”
"What do you mean?" The Golden Cicada Master was stunned.”
Xiao Tianquan placed his hands behind his back and circled the Golden Cicada Master.
"A good person has to go through 81 difficulties to become a Buddha, right?”
The Golden Cicada Master nodded." Of course. Buddha is a supreme realm. If you want to cultivate to the Buddha's Fruit, you naturally have to go through 81 difficulties and many trials. However, the number 81 here is a virtual number. In reality…"
"Stop!" Xiao Tianquan immediately stopped him. It didn't want to listen to this monk's nagging.
"The Buddhist Sect also advocates putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, right?”
"If that's the case, then a good person would need to go through a lot of difficulties to become a Buddha, but a person who does all kinds of evil only needs to put down his butcher knife.”
"Therefore, in order to find the way to become a Buddha, good people hold the butcher's knife and start to do evil. Then, they can become a Buddha on the spot.”
"So do you think Buddhism teaches people to be good or evil?!”
The Golden Cicada Master's eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning.
His transcendent temperament was gone.
The 3,000 Buddhist Kingdoms around him also showed signs of collapse.
All Life Forms were born and died several times, almost disappearing.
"This…"
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
He was punished because he argued with the Buddha about good and evil and offended the Buddha.
Therefore, he was forced to cultivate in the Bitter Zen Temple.
After a long time, he sighed.
"Yes, I lost. I can't answer this question.”
The Golden Cicada Master whispered.
He had debated scriptures and Dao countless times in his life. Even when facing his master, Rulai, he could fight back and not fall into a disadvantage.
But at this moment, he was utterly convinced of his defeat.
Although he looked calm on the surface, a huge crack had already appeared in his smooth and untainted state of mind at this moment.
Even his faith had problems at this moment.
Therefore, the phenomena that appeared around him also began to collapse.
"Since that's the case, then quickly call me Lord Dark Emperor!”
"From now on, you will be my first human pet!”
Xiao Tianquan said proudly with its two front paws behind its back.
The Golden Cicada Master took a deep breath and said,""Yes, Lord Dark Emperor!"
Xiao Tianquan was instantly overjoyed."Master is right. This Golden Cicada Master is indeed straightforward and single-minded.! He was even more straightforward than Yang Jian! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't admit it!"
"Now, Lord Dark Emperor, bring me to see the person behind you.”
The Golden Cicada Master said calmly.
Xiao Tianquan: "?????"
"What did you say? What person behind me! This Emperor won against you by myself!”
Xiao Tianquan denied it three times.
"Dark Emperor…Lord, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me.”
"I was born with a discerning eye that can see the roots and bones of all living beings.”
"With your nature and aptitude, you wouldn't be able to comprehend such a principle. Among all the people the Golden Cicada Master has met, you have the worst wisdom root. You will never be fated with Buddha, so it's impossible for you to say what you just said…So, I guess you must have an expert guiding you from behind.”
"Now that the Buddhist Sect is guessing that the Cultivation Tribulation is about to begin, someone is secretly stirring up the situation.”
The Golden Cicada Master whispered.
Hearing this, Xiao Tianquan really wanted to scold him. What did he mean by saying that the root of the emperor's wisdom was the worst?!
Who are you looking down on, monk?
The Golden Cicada Master sensed something strange and hurriedly shook his head."The Golden Cicada has no ill intentions. It's just that there are many questions in its heart that it can't answer. It has tried its best but is still trapped. Its heart is suffering too much, so it wants to ask that person to answer it and free the Golden Cicada.”
Xiao Tianquan thought for a moment before finally agreeing.
It just so happened that it needed the Golden Cicada Master to testify for it, to prove that it had really taken him in as a human pet.
This way, it could become a direct disciple!
"Alright, in that case, I promise you!”
At this moment.
Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in the void.
The three Arhats appeared together.
He looked at Xiao Tianquan and scolded angrily,"As expected, someone is secretly disrupting the situation!"”
"Who sent you here? What are your intentions?"
When Xiao Tianquan saw that three big shots had arrived, it was unwilling to fight with them, lest the old ones come after the young ones.
He immediately pulled the Golden Cicada Master along and prepared to escape into the void.
"Golden Cicada Master! Don't resist! Follow me!"
The three Buddhist Arhats were furious.”
After saying that, the three of them joined forces. For a moment, dragons and tigers roared, and the void shook.
It also carried the Buddhist seal bestowed by the Buddha, the Six Words Mantra.
He took it out and wanted to seal all the escape routes of the Celestial Hound.
Xiao Tianquan felt a headache coming on.
This line of words could ignore many restrictions.
He wasn't afraid of any spatial seals.
However, the vast Buddhist power contained in the Six Words Mantra was not something he could resist.
He was good at escaping, but he couldn't fight head-on!
At the moment, his snakeskin shorts could only passively protect its owner.
Right at this moment, an infinite amount of Buddhist light rose from his back, illuminating the entire universe.
For a moment, it swept across the sky and the earth, incomparably magnificent.
It easily scattered the combined attacks of the three Arhats.
The dragon-tiger divine form wailed and disappeared.
He also pushed the three of them back by 3,000 meters.
Even the Six Words Mantra sealed in the seal couldn't unleash its power in time and was captured by him, unable to move.
It was effortless.
"Please atone for your sins, Arhats."
"The Golden Cicada Master wants to find an answer.”
"Master Bingming, I'll be back soon.”
"After returning, he faced the wall in the Bitter Zen Temple for a thousand years.”
After saying that, he patted the Celestial Roar Dog and used the world's fastest speed to escape.
Xiao Tianquan felt unspeakable grievance in his heart.
"Damn it, this emperor is clearly your master. Why is it like I'm your mount now?”
"When we get there, I'll make you call me Lord Dark Empress a hundred times!”
The Golden Cicada Master was also secretly shocked as he was being carried on its back. He did not expect that this Celestial Hound, which looked frivolous, was actually one of the fastest in the world, far surpassing him, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
After the Golden Cicada Master left.
Space fluctuated as more Buddhist mighty figures descended, but it was useless.
The three Arhats stood up, their faces covered in dust.
The other party's speed was truly terrifying. They could not catch up at all. Moreover, that strange green-colored shorts automatically blocked their divine arts. It was like a legendary supreme-grade Connate Numinous treasure.
Then, they returned to the Spirit Mountain to report to Rulai.
Tathagata's face was calm.
He told them to leave.
Then, he gathered the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the others.
"Now, the tribulation has changed!"
"The Golden Cicada Master might become a variable! It will affect the fate of our Buddhist Sect!"
"In order to prevent any more trouble, we won't wait for the Yue Laan Bon Assembly.”
"After he returns to the Spirit Mountain, capture him with all your might, destroy his body, and personally escort him to reincarnation!”
"No more accidents are allowed!”
"Send people to find him and see where the person behind him is hiding!”
"Yes, Buddha!" All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas replied in unison.”
……
Mount Innerheart.
The Golden Cicada Master stopped outside Jiang Yunxu's dojo.
He gently touched the stone tablet, and waves of strange fluctuations came from it.
It made him feel something.
In a daze, he saw the figure with its back facing all living beings.
Mysterious, aloof, and lonely.
"Senior is someone who transcends, not someone mortals like us can compare to. If you can reach such a realm, you can really die without regrets.”
The Golden Cicada Master praised sincerely, his envy obvious.
Xiao Tianquan rolled its eyes at him.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? How can you spy on my master's realm?”
"After you enter, remember your identity and be more respectful to me. Call me Lord Black Emperor, do you hear me?”
"Alright, Lord Dark Emperor. I'll listen to you, Golden Cicada Master.”
Then, the two of them passed through the small path and entered the dojo.
It was a different world, picturesque and rich in spiritual energy.
It was not inferior to any grotto-heaven.
Even the Golden Cicada Master, who had seen the dojos of many mighty figures, felt admiration.
Finally, at the end of the road.
The Golden Cicada Master saw that figure.
His heart trembled.
His usually calm state of mind was no longer complete, causing a huge uproar.
What realm was the person opposite him at?!
She was detached from the world and independent from the world, even though she was standing in front of him.
However, he was unable to grasp it and could not determine where the other party's true body was.
Dao runes circulated in his every move, containing the truth of the Buddhist Sect's saying that a flower was a world, and a leaf was a Bodhi.
It made people feel enlightened.
The illusion of three thousand worlds appeared around him, giving off an indescribable feeling of profoundness.
His so-called Buddhist Son was as dull as a mortal in front of the other party.
"The Golden Cicada Master greets Senior." The Golden Cicada Master was stunned for a moment before he clasped his hands together and bowed.
Jiang Yunxu nodded.
"You're here."
"Yes," the Golden Cicada Master hurriedly said,"I have many questions in my heart that I can't understand. Thus, I need Senior's guidance."”
" Go ahead." Jiang Yunxu smiled." The Golden Cicada Master will no longer exist in this world."”
"What?!" The Golden Cicada Master exclaimed.
"Senior, why do you say that?"
" No," Jiang Yunxu shook his head." I mean, from now on, the Golden Cicada Master will no longer exist in the endless Buddhist Kingdoms and the three thousand worlds.”
