Chapter 226: Conquering Others with Force
Buddhist monks are ranked in the top three grades, so they are naturally proficient in Buddhism and will not easily violate the precept of anger.
Most of the time, Buddhist monks are more approachable than Taoist monks.
Only when debating scriptures, they will never give in to the Buddhist teachings, and must argue for superiority and right and wrong, which is the foundation of the Taoist tradition.
Not to mention the precept of anger, even the precept of killing can be violated!
In front of the Big Buddha Temple, Fahai defeated dozens of monks in a row with Mahayana Buddhism, including monks who studied Buddhist scriptures and warrior monks who were good at killing.
Many monks who failed in the debate surrounded the gorgeous high platform, either waiting for Fahai to lose the debate or defeating Fahai with magic.
The Jiyun monk on the high platform looked miserable, facing Fahai's lotus tongue, and the rosary in his hand was about to break.
Jiyun thought about it, but couldn't find anyone to replace him. He couldn't argue with Fahai, so he said compassionately: "Master, why do you have to do this? Mahayana Buddhism originated from Hinayana Buddhism. Now Mahayana Buddhism is indeed flourishing. Should we abandon our roots and forget our ancestors?"
If you can't argue with me, then get to the bottom of it.
"Both Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism originated from the direct lineage of the Buddha. There is a distinction between the first and the last. They are brothers, not father and son. Since they are brothers, they should take care of each other. I see that Master Zhending is about to enter Nirvana, so why not come to the brother sect to practice Mahayana Buddhism."
Fahai said slowly: "Two decades ago, Master Zhending gave up Hinayana Buddhism and entered Mahayana Buddhism. He successfully inherited the great aspirations of the Arhats and can be expected to become a Buddha in the future..."
When the Buddha established Buddhism and passed down the Buddhist scriptures, he was the only Buddha in the world. This is also one of the fundamental teachings of Hinayana Buddhism...
Later, a monk created a method of establishing a great aspiration to become a Buddha, preaching that everyone can become a Buddha. Several Arhats and Bodhisattvas were certified, and Mahayana Buddhism rose rapidly.
Both were passed down from the Buddha. As some of the concepts of Mahayana Buddhism are similar to those of Hinayana Buddhism, they have always been criticized by the latter.
"Hey! Don't mention such people who betray their ancestors in front of my Buddha!"
Jiyun raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes, saying: "Master, you have explained Mahayana Buddhism so exquisitely. It is better to show the wonderful Dharma, otherwise it will be just empty talk!"
"Amitabha!"
"Please show the wonderful Dharma!"
Many monks chanted the Buddha's name in response. Fahai mentioned the Zhending monk, which completely angered them.
"Good, good!"
Fahai slowly stood up from the high platform and said: "Compared to convincing people with sutras, I am better at convincing people with force..."
He hooked his fingers at the dozens of monks around him.
"Let's go together!"
"You are bullying the Buddha too much!"
Several monks could no longer bear it, and flew a hundred feet into the air, showing the golden body of the Mingwang.
"Amitabha!"
Fahai put his hands together, and then slammed his palm towards the sky.
The Buddha's light rose in the wind, and when it rose to a hundred feet, it had turned into a giant palm of dozens of feet in size.
"Om! Ma..."
Several monks chanted mantras, and used the golden body of Mingwang to fight against the giant palm of Buddha's light.
Rumble...
A hundred feet high in the sky, circles of Buddha's light scattered, sweeping away the nearby clouds.
Several streams of light fell from the sky and hit the ground hard. It was those monks who were already unconscious.
Fahai's eyes swept over the other monks, and four arms grew out of his back. The six arms each made a Buddha seal, carrying infinite Buddha's light and fiercely blasting over.
"Amitabha!"
The faces of the monks were solemn, some showed their golden bodies, and some performed Buddhist secrets to surround Fahai in the center.
Each of Fahai's arms had the power of a mountain, sweeping across, whether it was the golden body or the Dharma, all collapsed.
Boom boom boom boom...
A series of roars, several monks flew backwards, smashing the wall blessed by the thousand-year-old Buddhist Dharma, and were instantly seriously injured.
"Are you convinced?"
Fahai asked loudly.
"No!"
A voice came from the Big Buddha Temple. The consecutive defeats in the debate had already attracted the attention of the Buddhist high-level officials, not to mention that many monks had lost in the battle.
Fahai looked at the Big Buddha Temple, and his voice was compassionate: "Master has fallen into confusion, and I will help you to realize it!"
"As I have heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the country of Savatthi..."
The sound of chanting came from the Big Buddha Temple, and the sound of Buddha was so loud that it enveloped the capital of the Buddhist country.
Fahai frowned and looked up at the golden Buddha. He saw that the Buddha statue was shining with infinite Buddha light, dyeing the whole sky golden.
"The Buddhist Dharma is boundless!"
The golden Buddha's figure rose again, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the sky above his head, and the Buddha's palm slowly stretched out to suppress Fahai.
The Buddha's palm covered the sky and the sun, and its power was extremely terrifying. The earth and the sky shook, and the whole capital was trembling.
"Amitabha!"
Fahai's body continued to grow, turning into a golden body several feet high, with six arms raised high, trying to resist the Buddha's palm.
With a bang, the ground shook.
Half of Fahai's body was slammed into the ground, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his golden body was covered with cracks.
In front of the Big Buddha Temple, the believers who gathered did not disperse. Instead, because of the Buddha's appearance, more believers put down everything and rushed over to worship and chant.
The pure and rich incense and vows made the Buddha statue more powerful.
"This method seems to be somewhat similar to the Jinguang Temple, but the incense and vows are much purer."
The court of Daqian Realm suppressed everything. There were many Buddhist believers, but it was difficult to dedicate everything to the Buddha like the Buddhist country on earth.
The old monk transformed by Zhou Yi mixed in the crowd, pretending to hum scriptures. The believers beside him were all caught up in the frenzy, and no one noticed that someone was just filling in the numbers.
"Using the power of a country to bully Master Fahai, it is not against the rules for me to help..."
The seven-treasure golden pagoda of Buddha flashed, and the next moment it appeared above Fahai's head, with seven-color light falling down, protecting his body.
"Buddha treasure!"
A few exclamations came from the Great Buddha Temple.
Fa Hai grabbed the Seven Treasures Golden Pillar, sensed the endless magic power in it, and gently waved the seven-color brilliance to rise into the sky and brush against the Buddha's palm.
The giant palm covering the sky shattered suddenly, and the Buddha's hand slowly retracted.
The Buddha's light dissipated from the Buddha statue, the Zen sound disappeared, and it returned to its original appearance.
Fahai retracted his four arms behind his back, held the seven-treasure golden banner, and said, "The poor monk will come again tomorrow to save you!"
Then it turned into escaping light and disappeared into the sky.
There was silence in the Great Buddha Temple. There was no response to the Fahai, or it was difficult to accept the failure of the Golden Buddha.
Zhou Yi frowned slightly, feeling that the Golden Buddha glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Let's go see Master Fahai first!"
…
It is a hundred miles west of the capital of Buddhism.
Unnamed mountain.
Fahai sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, holding the Aquarius Seal with his hand to recover from his injuries.
The suppression of the Buddha's palm not only hurt the surface, but its power alone was comparable to a strike of ten thousand years of magic power.
"Master, you're welcome!"
Zhou Yi handed over a magic pill and said: "This pill is refined by Pindao. It has good healing effect."
"Who are you……"
Fahai sensed the aura of the old monk in front of him and suddenly said: "Almsgiver Zhou!"
Recognizing Zhou Yi's identity, Fahai immediately took the elixir and felt the pure yang aura throughout his body. Immortal Lotus Root's body was nourished by this and recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the injury was healed.
Except for Zhou Yi, no one in the world has the luxury to heal his wounds with pure Yang elixir.
Fahai put his hands together and saluted, and said: "Almsgiver Zhou, this poor monk owes you more and more karma!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Kill more monsters and ghosts, and the poor Taoist will be satisfied."
The first time he saw Fa Hai, Zhou Yi secretly tested it with the list of gods and had accumulated enough humane merits to become gods. However, in Fahai's current state, he may be able to achieve Arhat status without becoming a god.
At that time, the killing Arhat, the White Lotus Virgin and Fa Hai shared one soul, which was equivalent to gaining the enlightenment of two powerful Buddhists out of thin air.
Later, he was resurrected in the body of an immortal lotus root, which was similar to the acquired immortal body, and his cultivation aptitude was unparalleled.
"The great ambition of this poor monk is to kill all the demons in the world!"
Fa Hai asked: "What is the purpose of the Zhou almsgiver's coming to the Kingdom of Zhengjue Buddha?"
"Pindao is hunting down the Holy Mother of White Lotus. She is hiding in the Great Buddha Temple. I don't know her identity."
Zhou Yi is not afraid that the Holy Mother White Lotus will be aware of it. There is a demon illustration in real time to locate her. Even if she is chased to the end of the world, she will be sent to reincarnation.
