The main hall of the Lotus Temple.

For some reason, the Buddha set foot here again, and felt an indescribable peace of mind, as if he had not experienced danger before.

"Huh?"

The Buddha, who realized that something was wrong, suddenly refreshed his mind and looked in all directions.

Xuantang, who was following behind the Buddha, saw this and hurriedly asked, "What is the World Venerable looking at?

The Buddha, who couldn't find the abnormality, couldn't help but be a little upset, and scolded: "Shut up, this seat is acting, why do you need to put your beak?"

Xuantang was stunned when he heard this, his face was a little unbearable, but he didn't dare to say more, just lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, silently.

As soon as the Buddha's words came out, there was a trace of remorse in his heart, Xuantang was the only remaining disciple of the Heavenly and Human Realm under his seat, and if he turned back to rebuild Buddhism, he would have to rely on him to run in many ways.

Now scolding for no reason, and even trampling on dignity, it is easy to make him deviate from morality, which is not the act of a wise man.

However, what a character the Buddha is, even if he knows that he is wrong, he can't admit his mistake, but his tone is slightly softened: "You go around and turn around, and turn back to the main hall within half an hour, and this seat is waiting for you in the main hall." ”

In the Buddha's view, following Xuantang's wishes and letting him look around is a great gift, which is enough to offset the impact of the original unwarranted reprimand.

If Xuantang didn't know the times, it would be a big deal to abandon him and spend some time cultivating a few more celestials, and he would not be constrained in what he did because of the lack of a celestial disciple.

Xuan Tang showed a hint of joy in his eyes just right, and said loudly: "The disciple obeys." ”

Seeing this, the Buddha smiled slightly, and was very satisfied in his heart, the golden cicada worshiped under his own door for two lifetimes, how could he not be interested?

After Xuantang left, the Buddha walked into the main hall, looked at the clay sculpture in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder, where did the feeling of uneasiness come from?

The change in front and back induction is so great, is it because of the golden cicada?

But the golden cicada is only in the second realm of heaven and man, and he can't even compare to a finger in the saint realm, and he feels extremely dangerous, how can he change the situation?

Originally, I didn't think it, but after calming down and thinking for a while, the Buddha seemed to see the sun through the clouds and came to a conclusion: there is something wrong with the golden cicada.

Before he was sealed, there were still two heavenly beings in the third realm of Maitreya, the second realm of heavenly beings such as Manjushri Puxian, and the first realm of heavenly beings such as the Buddha of the Four Directions.

Although the strength of Buddhism is not as good as before, it is not too weak, at least the saint realm does not make a move, and Buddhism has no worries about destruction.

In fact, the Dao Palace of the Four Saints did not exterminate the Buddhism, but the Buddhism was completely wiped out by the strong people in the realm of heaven and man, and only the golden cicada was left, and there were too many doubts.

In particular, Maitreya Jizo, which is stronger than the golden cicada, has fallen, why has the golden cicada survived intact to this day?

Is it that the golden cicada suddenly had an epiphany and cultivated a great increase, and became more powerful than Maitreya Jizang?

Or did he take refuge in one side and be protected by one side and be unscathed?

The Buddha faintly guessed that the latter possibility was greater, after all, the golden cicada was only the second realm of heaven and man so far, and the danger of making the third realm of heaven and man fall was definitely not something that a second realm of heaven and man could dodge.

Even this time the golden cicada met him unexpectedly, it was not accidental, it was very likely that he was ordered by the mastermind behind the scenes, deliberately approached him, and secretly inquired about the news?

Thinking of this, the Buddha secretly decided: When the golden cicada comes back, he must be forced to ask, so as not to capsize in the gutter when the time comes.

Xu is Buddha never forgot in his heart, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Xuantang returned ahead of schedule, stood in front of the Buddha, knelt down and bowed: "Back to the world, the disciple has investigated the radius of five hundred miles, and has not found anything abnormal. ”

The Buddha's face was cold, he looked at Xuantang condescendingly, and said in a cold tone: "Is it true?

Xuantang raised his head when he heard this, and just showed a hint of surprise: "The disciple doesn't know where the World Venerable is referring to?"

The Buddha suddenly smiled, and in the hall, lotus phantoms appeared, blooming and disappearing.

"Aren't you just abnormal? Golden Cicada, all the heavens and men of Buddhism have fallen, leaving you alone in the world, don't you have anything to say to this seat?"

Xuantang's face showed pain when he heard this, he grabbed the ground with his head, and shouted in a hissing voice: "World Venerable, Maitreya Jizo and many Buddhas have been killed by traitors, and World Venerable must avenge them." ”

Seeing this, the Buddha couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "Speak well, this seat will ask you, how did Maitreya hide them?"

Xuantang suddenly showed a look of fear, trembled all over, and said: "Shizun is injured, I'm afraid it's not that person's opponent, and the disciple doesn't dare to say it." ”

When the Buddha heard this, his face changed, and he asked urgently: "How do you know that this seat is injured? The person told you? This seat is not the opponent of that person, but also the person who speculated?"

The Buddha who asked three questions one after another had a mocking look on his face: "The person who is not an opponent after this seat is injured, except for the Dao Saint, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the world." ”

"The Taoist saint's cultivation is unfathomable, far beyond this seat, if he wants to cause this seat to die, he doesn't need to use these empty methods, and other people want to cause this seat to die, it is almost impossible to do it, you don't need to worry about it, so you are lying. ”

After the Buddha finished speaking, the shaking of Xuantang's body stopped abruptly, and he looked up at the Buddha, with a strange smile on his face: "So Shizun is indeed injured, right?"

The Buddha saw Xuantang's strange performance, his heart suddenly cooled, and suddenly he had a bad premonition, and he felt very ashamed when he reacted, he was a saint and the master of Buddhism, and he was actually frightened by his disciples, which was really embarrassing.

I only heard the Buddha say angrily: "What does this seat have to do with you? Jin Chanzi, if you don't tell the truth today, this seat will make you sink into hell, and you will not be able to live for a hundred lifetimes." ”

Xuantang laughed, got up from the ground by himself, looked at the Buddha with his eyes, and did not take the threat of the Buddha to heart at all.

I only heard Xuantang say arrogantly: "Of course it matters, only if the Shizun is hit hard and his strength can't even be exerted, it is possible for the disciple to go further, replace the Shizun, and then step into the realm of the saint and compete for the opportunity to transcend the realm." ”

The Buddha's face was extremely ugly, and he said with disdain: "Just by you, a waste who is not even the third realm of heaven and man, dare to speak out and replace this seat? ”

After speaking, when Xuantang was stunned, a big hand covering the sky came overwhelmingly, wanting to crush Xuantang into pieces.

Xuan Tang smiled: "Isn't the third realm of heaven and man?"

After speaking, he stood three feet high, and his breath exploded violently, revealing the aura of the peak of the third realm of heaven and man.

Then Xuantang took a step forward, his hands were in the sky, and he blocked the Buddha's move.

"The World-Honored One is as arrogant as ever, and because of your arrogance and ignorance, you have repeatedly been defeated at the hands of the Dao Saints. ”

"Keep your eyes open, doesn't the disciple even have the third realm of heaven and man?"

The Buddha, who was blocked by the surprise attack and ridiculed by Xuantang, had no sadness or joy on his face, stepped forward again, and blasted Xuantang's head with a punch.

Xuantang retreated three miles, avoiding the hidden killing machine, and continued to mock in the air: "Shizun can't even take a disciple, it's funny, it's ridiculous." ”

The Buddha, who failed to capture Xuantang twice in a row, finally had a slight change in his face, but not because of fear, but because he wanted to kill with one blow.

In an instant, a Buddha country quietly descended, and it will be enveloped in a radius of five miles, including the Lotus Temple.
