With the heated discussion on the Internet, the popularity of the Dragon-subduing Arhat increased again.
"We have a temple here. It was struck by lightning and caught on fire. The entire temple was burned down. Guess what happened?”
"The monk inside must have done something bad, so he was punished by Arhat!”
"No, there are no monks in that temple, but there are demons!”
As soon as this news was released, the post was quickly pinned to the top of the forum.
There were still demons and ghosts in this era, but just as this world did not allow powerful cultivators to appear, the level of demons and ghosts was much worse than in the Mythological Era.
A demon that could take human form was already a great demon in this era.
Moreover, these demons would not easily appear in densely populated areas. They were basically hiding in the deep mountains and forests.
The rarer something was, the more people were interested in it.
Previously, Japan had appraised the divine artifact, the Eight-foot Jade Hook, and said that it had the power of the sun. In the end, the divine artifact's power radiation was too strong. Many animals in Japan were illuminated by the light of the Eight-foot Jade Hook and mutated into demons.
Especially not long ago, there was even a night of ghosts in Japan.
However, there were many people in this world who were not afraid of death. These people were curious and excitedly booked tickets to Japan, wanting to see the glory of the monsters.
Not to mention how many people had entered the belly of the monster, according to the information released by the Japanese tourism bureau, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan in the past three months had increased by 30% compared to last year.
This proved how curious people were about rare creatures like demons.
Seeing that his post was pinned to the top, the netizen who posted the post was instantly motivated.
"I didn't expect so many people to see this post. First of all, I would like to thank the Dragon-subduing Arhat. It was because of his punishment that the villagers in several villages around us were saved from disaster!”
"This matter has to start from a long time ago.”
"We used to have a temple here that worshiped the legendary Guan Yin Bodhisattva.”
"Everyone should know the Dharma name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, right?”
"Even though Guan Yin Bodhisattva's name was already known by the ancestors a thousand years ago, due to the severe loss of information during the Mythological Era, it was impossible to awaken the divine power left behind by Guan Yin Bodhisattva in the world.”
"Later on, someone suggested that if a large number of Guan Yin Temples were built, they might be able to condense incense and wish power to forcefully awaken the divine power of Guan Yin Bodhisattva.”
"The Guanyin Temple in our country was built at that time.”
"However, it has been proven that this method is not successful. For thousands of years, the divine power of Guan Yin Bodhisattva has not been awakened. People have lost confidence and gradually stopped going to the Guan Yin Temple to worship.”
"According to the elders in our village, that Guanyin Temple has been broken for a hundred years.”
"About twenty years ago, a big boss came to our place. He said that he was a devout Buddhist and wanted to invest in rebuilding the Guanyin Temple.”
"No one cares about this matter. Let the big boss handle it himself.”
"This big boss is really rich. He spent more than 10 million yuan to rebuild the original Guanyin Temple and expand the area by a lot. There's a 30-meter-tall Guanyin statue in the temple.”
"After the big boss built the Guanyin Temple, he disappeared. The Guanyin Temple also opened its doors and welcomed people to worship Guanyin.”
"Gradually, the Guanyin Temple received some incense. Every year, the people of the surrounding villages would go to burn incense and worship Buddha.”
"Later on, a temple fair was developed here. Once a month, people from the city came here to offer incense to the Guanyin Temple.”
"The people in the nearby villages also earned money by setting up stalls during the temple fair.”
"However, in the twenty years since the temple was rebuilt, the farmers in the nearby villages have been losing their livestock.”
"At the beginning, when the chickens and ducks were lost, everyone didn't care. They thought that they were caught by rats.”
"Later on, they started to lose sheep and dogs, which made people very concerned.”
"At that time, a group of dog and sheep thieves came to our place. Although they didn't admit that they caught so many sheep and dogs here after being caught by the police, everyone still took the blame on them.”
"Until a few years ago, the incidents of livestock being lost in a few villages became more frequent. From chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, to pigs, sheep, cows, and dogs, they were all lost.”
"Everyone checked everywhere, but they couldn't find the problem. Gradually, everyone stopped raising livestock at home.”
"But in the past two years, the problem has become even more serious. Someone lost their child when they went to the temple fair.”
"And it's not just once. There will be children missing at every temple fair.”
"At first, I thought there were human traffickers. In the end, the police came to investigate a few times, but they found nothing.”
"Until today, when the Guan Yin Temple was destroyed by the Dragon-subduing Arhat with lightning, the truth finally surfaced!”
"So, there is a big monster hidden in the Guanyin Temple.”
"The so-called big boss from 20 years ago was actually this monster in human form. It built the Guanyin Temple to hide here and cultivate.”
"When Lord Arhat sent down the heavenly lightning, the people from the nearby villages saw that the thirty-meter-tall stone statue exploded. A thirty-meter-long centipede spirit flew out from it.
"At that time, the giant centipede was struck by Arhat's heavenly lightning, and its wails lasted for a full half an hour before it stopped.””
"Now, the corpse of the centipede has been taken away by the museum staff. Many brave people went to the scene to take a look and vomited.”
"Corpses are everywhere inside. All the livestock that everyone has lost over the years were eaten by the giant centipede and the bones were buried in the ground.”
"Therefore, I am very grateful to Lord Arhat for punishing and killing that centipede demon. Otherwise, once its ferocity was unleashed, it would have put more people in danger.”
"Secondly, everyone here is very grateful to God Liu Hao. It's really because he awakened the divine power of the Dragon-subduing Arhat that we have such a good result.”
"Now, everyone here, from the elderly to the children who can just talk, knows about God Liu Hao and is very grateful to him.”
"In fact, we are even preparing to raise money to turn the Guanyin Temple into an Arhat Temple and erect the statue of God Liu Hao in the square of the temple fair.”
This post was very popular and was even forwarded to other social media platforms.
However, as Liu Hao's reputation spread, another theory began to spread across the internet.
"Liu Hao's awakening of the Dragon-subduing Arhat's divine power is indeed a great merit, but think about it, that stone statue originally belonged to the Daxiang Temple.”
"Liu Hao only spent 5,000 yuan to obtain two True Buddha Dharma treasures. I really feel indignant for the Daxiang Temple.”
"That's right. This is too unfair to the Daxiang Temple. The true Buddha statue of the Dragon-subduing Arhat belongs to the Daxiang Temple.”
"I think Liu Hao should return those two Dharma treasures to Daxiang Temple.”
"That's right. A gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way. If Liu Hao is a gentleman, he should return the two magic treasures to the Great Minister Temple.”
"The Daxiang Temple has been scammed by Liu Hao. I heard that the Life Appreciation Banquet can't be held anymore. The Daxiang Temple is dismissing the monks and preparing to close the temple.”
On the Internet, there were actually comments that said " Daxiang Temple is the victim ". Some voices even began to express their dissatisfaction with Liu Hao.
There were no people who publicly criticized Liu Hao, but these people kept saying that they were " complaining for the Daxiang Temple." Wasn't this indirectly expressing their criticism of Liu Hao?
Just as many people were watching how Liu Hao would deal with this situation.
No one had expected that a group of big shots in the Great Xia Kingdom would personally step forward to scold people for Liu Hao.
