#1755 - Buddha is not everything
In the high sky, Dipankara Ancient Buddha and Diting were both listening to the shocking words in the palace below. They had been paying attention to Tang Sanzang and naturally noticed something was wrong.
"Tang Sanzang has been demonized again!" Diting said angrily.
Initially, he thought they were just discussing Dao, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha remained silent, but his gaze shifted to another direction.
There, the little monk who had left the palace returned to the temple, then shed his skin, revealing his original appearance.
Arhat Taming Dragon's expression remained unchanged, and he punched out. A golden dragon roared, carrying great power, and met Dipankara Ancient Buddha.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha looked indifferent. In the palm of his right hand, Buddha light filled the air, and a vast power erupted from his body. The golden dragon instantly turned into a rain of light.
Under the rain of light, Arhat Taming Dragon traveled all the way, his speed astonishing.
"Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!" Dipankara Ancient Buddha shouted softly, and his right hand landed.
From his palm, a vast Buddha light swept out, like a world falling, blocking Arhat Taming Dragon's footsteps.
Arhat Taming Dragon threw out several palms, trying to break through Dipankara Ancient Buddha's divine power, but in the face of absolute strength, he could not shake the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm even slightly.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha slowly descended and came to Arhat Taming Dragon, his expression calm, "Taming Dragon, you have fallen into the demonic path."
He put his hands together, his expression compassionate, and his voice slowly spread out.
"What is Buddha? What is Demon?" Arhat Taming Dragon asked, shirtless.
"Bringing disaster to the world is a demon; saving all living beings is a Buddha!" Dipankara Ancient Buddha said indifferently.
"Hmph, then have I brought disaster to the world? I just told a fact, is that wrong?" Arhat Taming Dragon said sternly.
"Alas, you don't see far enough," Dipankara Ancient Buddha sighed.
At that moment, demonic energy suddenly surged into the sky in the distance, and a huge force descended suddenly, instantly shattering Dipankara Ancient Buddha's Buddha Kingdom in the Palm and rescuing Arhat Taming Dragon.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha looked thoughtful and looked into the distance, muttering to himself, "Future Buddha Maitreya, why bother!"
At this moment, Diting had just arrived. Seeing Arhat Taming Dragon rescued by an unknown force, he immediately asked, "Ancient Buddha, that Arhat Taming Dragon has become a demon and is provoking the conflict between the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom and Buddhism."
"Tell the Buddha about this matter. I just need to keep an eye on Tang Sanzang," Dipankara Ancient Buddha said indifferently, then left.
Seeing this, Diting gritted his teeth and headed towards the Western Heaven.
At that time, Guanyin was telling the Buddhas about what happened to Chu Hao during the day.
Hearing this, the Buddhas were all furious.
They were already忍无可忍 (at the end of their patience), and at this moment, their anger reached a critical point. One Buddha said angrily, "Buddha, this Chu Hao has repeatedly provoked our Western Heaven and completely disregards us. He must be severely punished."
"How to punish him?" Tathagata frowned.
The Buddhas were silent.
Indeed, only a few people in the entire Mount Ling could deal with Chu Hao, not to mention that the entire Heavenly Court was standing beside Chu Hao.
The existence that the Jade Emperor would protect even at the cost of violating the agreement was not as simple as imagined.
Seeing that no one responded, Tathagata continued, "Although we lost a divine beast, at least we got back the Connate Spiritual Treasure. This calamity is over, and Venerable Guanyin should arrange the next calamity."
Guanyin was about to agree when she suddenly saw Diting rushing over, dusty and looking anxious.
"Buddha, something bad has happened," Diting shouted.
"What is it?" Tathagata asked calmly.
"That Tang Sanzang has become a demon," Diting's words were shocking.
But these words did not make the Buddhas present too excited, after all, everyone knew about Tang Sanzang's demonization, and this was normal.
Tathagata asked another question, "Did he kill someone again?"
Diting shook his head, "No, it's Maitreya Buddha. He sent the demonized Arhat Taming Dragon to Zhu Zi Kingdom to teach the king the demonic scriptures. The king was demonized, and Tang Sanzang was also demonized."
"What?" Tathagata's voice turned cold, and the Buddhas were all shocked.
"You said Arhat Taming Dragon has become a demon?" Tathagata asked again.
Diting immediately told everything that had just happened.
When the words ended, all the Buddhas present were greatly shocked, especially Tathagata, whose face turned pale.
Arhat Taming Dragon's demonization meant that the Arhats and Buddhas of the Western Heaven who had been taken away had also entered the demonic path. This was a major event.
This also made Tathagata subconsciously ignore the words behind.
"Buddha, yes, but now that Zhu Zi Kingdom is about to become a demonic domain," Diting said bitterly.
This time, Tathagata reacted. He immediately looked at Guanyin, "Venerable Guanyin, go and investigate quickly."
Guanyin accepted the order and then left, Diting quickly followed closely behind.
Soon, they arrived at Zhu Zi Kingdom.
The sun rose in the east, and in that vast royal city, demonic energy emerged. Under the cover of the vast demonic energy, the entire royal city was transformed into a demonic domain, and everyone was affected by the demonic energy.
"Dipankara Ancient Buddha, why is this?" Guanyin asked.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha said indifferently, "This demon originates from the hearts of mortals and cannot be dispelled unless the people of this city are slaughtered."
"Why has there been such a change overnight?" Guanyin asked in shock.
Dipankara Ancient Buddha did not answer, but his gaze fell to the east, as if staring at the rising sun.
Guanyin looked at Zhu Zi Kingdom, which had fallen into a demonic domain. Because the calamity had ended, she did not expect more calamities to break out.
She immediately looked at Tang Sanzang and found that the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom was conferring Tang Sanzang as the National Protector Dharma Master, asking him to solve the doubts of the people.
Tang Sanzang also accepted happily.
Guanyin noticed that Chu Hao was also among them and immediately transmitted a voice to ask, "Prison God Chu Hao, what is going on?"
Chu Hao looked up at the sky and replied, "A small matter, a small matter."
This is still a small matter?
Guanyin was anxious, but she could not interfere in human affairs, so she could only look at Dipankara Ancient Buddha, "Ancient Buddha, what do you think should be done?"
"This matter was caused by Future Buddha Maitreya. Now that the inner demon has been planted, it will probably soon be accomplished. Let's go and ask the Buddha," Dipankara Ancient Buddha said.
He was indifferent to fame and fortune and was an elder Buddha who was willing to be a carefree cloud crane. If it were not for Tathagata's request, he would not have appeared, and naturally, he did not want to pay attention to these things now.
Guanyin was silent. She didn't know what to do and could only wait and see.
At that time, Tang Sanzang had already come to the front of countless people.
He looked at the confused crowd, demonic energy surged from his body, and his voice was like a rainbow, "Buddha is not everything!"
As soon as this statement came out, countless people were puzzled, and Guanyin in the high sky shook and almost fell from the auspicious cloud.
