The next morning, Miao Kong stood in front of the palace.
In just one night, almost everyone in the capital knew that a young mage with supernatural powers had defeated the Great Temple of Gratitude.
Today, he was going to discuss Buddhism with the state preceptor.
Tian Zi also expressed great interest in this matter.
Therefore, two high platforms were built outside the palace overnight, where the young mage and the national master would debate the scriptures.
Miao Kong was waiting in front of the palace gate. In front of him were the two high platforms.
At this moment, a eunuch walked out of the palace and announced,""His Majesty has decreed! Miao Kong of the Golden Mountain Temple, please ascend the altar first. The state preceptor will be here soon!”
The eunuch took two steps forward and smiled at Miao Kong."Master Miao Kong, His Majesty is currently handling official business and will be coming over with the Imperial Advisor.”
Miao Kong nodded indifferently. He turned around and walked up to the high platform. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.
Time passed slowly, and the sun gradually rose.
The clamoring crowd gathered around the platform, ready to watch the discussion.
Soon, it was noon.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
"Imperial Preceptor has arrived!"
Miao Kong opened his eyes after two chants.
Below the platform, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe was sitting on the throne with interest. When he saw Miao Kong looking over, he smiled and nodded without any airs of an emperor.
Miao Kong put his palms together and returned the greeting. When he raised his eyes again, he found that there was an additional person on the high platform opposite him.
This person was a monk. He looked rather feminine and wore a golden red kasaya. His expression was indifferent and there was an amiable smile on his lips. One look and one would think that this person was an accomplished monk.
State Preceptor!
"I know you, Miao Kong. Ever since Hangzhou, my master has been paying attention to you.”
The Imperial Advisor spoke with a smile. His voice was not loud, but it rang clearly in Miao Kong's ears. It was as if the others could not hear him.
"My teacher knows that you are planning to use this to expose my identity. I believe that you have more or less guessed my intentions. After all, you are a genius.”
The Imperial Advisor continued, the smile on his face seemingly eternal.
Miao Kong lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The Imperial Advisor pointed at the Emperor and the civil and military officials below the high platform and said,""But you forgot, or rather, you and Fahai are too arrogant.”
As he spoke, the Imperial Advisor waved his hand.
All the officials seemed to have received the signal and bowed to the Imperial Advisor on the high platform expressionlessly.
The smile on the Emperor's face had become very forced, as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He looked at Miao Kong for help, but immediately looked away.
Seeing this, the smile on the Imperial Advisor's face widened.
"The identity of the Buddhist Sect is really useful. It's best to use it to bewitch people. Look at these civil and military officials. But under the call of my Buddha, isn't he still submissive to me?”
"I just need…to use some small tricks.”
The state preceptor raised his hand, and a blood-red centipede suddenly crawled out of his hand, hissing soundlessly in his palm.
"All the ministers present have become my Gu worms. Their flesh and blood have been eaten up by the Gu worms. All that's left is a skin that listens to me.”
"Both you and Fahai thought that my target was Nie Yuanli, but who knew that it was all a smokescreen?”
"Sacrificing a Painted Ghost and some worthless undeads has locked your eyes on Nie Yuanli.”
The smile on the Imperial Advisor's face became more and more cheerful. Now that he had grasped the center of the country, he had nothing to fear.
"Amitabha."
Miao Kong only chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice.
It seemed like the state preceptor had the last laugh.
He needed a relatively stable court to achieve his goal, and he needed to kill Nie Yuanli, who had made him suffer.
It was all a smokescreen released by the state preceptor.
But was that really the case?
Miao Kong didn't believe that Fahai, that old bald donkey, would be fooled so easily.
"Smelting the power of the country's incense and adding the help of the country's fate dragon energy, I can condense the golden body of incense and become a Buddha!”
The Imperial Advisor became more excited as he spoke. He even pointed at Miao Kong and said,""Soon, you will be able to see me at the Great Thunderclap Monastery!”
"I will be the new generation of Buddha! It was the Lord of the Spirit Mountain! In the future, you monks will pay your respects to me and offer incense to me!”
Miao Kong looked at him with pity.
A chess piece was just a chess piece.
He thought that after killing the state preceptor, things would come to an end. He did not expect that the state preceptor was just an abandoned pawn.
"Blessed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, formless and immeasurable, the Buddha's relic and prajna are born from one Dharma.”
Miao Kong could not be bothered to continue fighting with an abandoned child. He immediately activated the Ksitigarbha amulet.
Since the other party was already an abandoned pawn, he would use lightning-fast methods to squeeze it out and see if he could squeeze out any useful information.
"Buzz!"
Behind Miao Kong's back, the Wheel of Virtues was shining brightly, and a figure could be seen faintly in it.
"Please."
"The Golden Mountain Abbot, the Arhat of the Earth, and the Spiritual Mountain Wayfarer.”
"Fahai."
"Pa!"
A slap landed on the back of Miao Kong's head, breaking his solemn expression.
Fahai walked out with an old face and scolded,""Calling Master's name directly deserves a beating!"
Miao Kong clutched the back of his head, almost tearing up from the pain. He silently pointed at the state preceptor.
It meant that Master should get to work!
"I'll deal with you later!"
Fahai glared at Miao Kong again, then glanced sideways at the state preceptor who was in a state of frenzy.
He frowned and the corners of his mouth moved."Tsk, is it still too late?"
"Forget it. I won't let go of those who have killed wrongly."
"Mighty Heavenly Dragon! Ksitigarbha! Prajna Buddhas! Prajna Bamahoa!"
"Demon Slayer!"
Fahai didn't even bother to talk nonsense with you. He came up with the Mighty Heavenly Dragon's face.
Miao Kong finally saw what it meant to be an Arhat on the ground.
A 300-meter-long heavenly dragon rose from Fahai's back and charged straight at the Imperial Advisor!
“嗐!!”
The Imperial Advisor finally came back to his senses and revealed his true form. He turned into a giant centipede that was thousands of feet long and crushed half of the palace.
It was full of power, but in the next moment.
"Roar!"
The heavenly dragon roared like a startled swan.
The thousand-year-old centipede demon didn't even have the ability to resist. It just lay there beautifully.
The entire centipede was reduced to dust, and even its truesoul was gone.
The corner of Miao Kong's mouth twitched as he watched. What happened to the virtue of cherishing life? What happened to the Buddha's benevolence?
Do you have such a huge grudge against long monsters? Not even giving him a chance to reincarnate? Aren't you afraid that the underworld will pursue it?
Oh, my ancestor is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. That's fine.
Wait a minute…
Miao Kong suddenly frowned.
Fahai had thrown out a big move cleanly. He was satisfied, but what about the officials who were eaten by the Imperial Advisor's insects?
Without these people, how could the old emperor handle the world's political affairs by himself?
Did he think he was Zhu Yuanzhang?
However, it was obvious that Fahai could think of the same thing as Miao Kong.
Fahai glanced at his disappointing disciple, raised his eyebrows, and looked in a certain direction.
"Bull nose, come out."
