In front of the pagoda, the Subduing Tiger Arhat showed his golden body, reflecting the floating island’s splendor, with natural Buddhist chanting reaching up to the sky, indescribable.

All the novice monks who came and went had the Buddha's light and cloud light behind their heads. They were all Quanzhen monks with profound knowledge of the Tao.

The Subduing Tiger Arhat is a well-known great Buddhist figure and an accomplished arhat whose spiritual power is even greater than that of some Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

All the monks and immortals who come here admire Buddhism, although they have no chance to step onto the Golden Lotus Road or listen to Maitreya talk about the scriptures.

But now, to listen to the Subduing Tiger Arhat’s lectures, every monk who was invited sat cross-legged, quietly comprehension of the Arhat’s teachings, hoping to gain some understanding and deepen their own cultivation.

According to Qi Xiaer, the Subduing Tiger Arhat would preach in front of the pagoda at the beginning of each day until the sun set, and he had been preaching for more than ten days.

After hearing what her disciple said, Udumbara Shenni said, “It’s too late, it’s too late!”

Before the Subduing Tiger Arhat gave his sermon, it was the busiest time.
In order to grab a good position, some Taoists would wait in front of the pagoda in the middle of the night.

Now that the lecture has begun, the four people who have arrived here find that there is no suitable seat.

Qi Xiaer pulled Qi Lingyun and wanted to find a seat at the back to sit down.

"Mom, sister, sister, here!"

A child who was only a few years older than Jile Tongzi, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, a face as white as jade, white teeth and red lips, and his whole body seemed to be made of powder and jade, suddenly waved at the four people and called them over.

The child with the golden necklace around his neck seemed to know that the Arhat was preaching and did not dare to disturb him, so he used the method of transmitting sound through his mind.

However, the way he waved his arms still attracted the attention of many experts.

Even the Subduing Tiger Arhat who was preaching on the pagoda opened and closed his eyes slightly, lowered his gaze, and looked at the child meaningfully.

The child is none other than Qi Jinchan, the reincarnation of Qi Shuming, the righteous and wonderful immortal of the universe, and Xun Lanyin’s biological son, and the third life’s virgin!
He is also Qi Lingyun, the younger brother of Qi Xiaer. As he has been a virgin for three generations, his appearance has always remained that of an eleven or twelve year old.

Qi Lingyun and Qi Xiaer were greatly surprised to see that their younger brother dared to be so presumptuous in such an occasion.

The two of them hurriedly bowed to the Subduing Tiger Arhat in front of the pagoda. While the Subduing Tiger Arhat was still preaching, two balls of Buddha's light emerged from between his brows and landed on Qi Jinchan's left and right, transforming into two cushions.

Qi Lingyun and Qi Xiaer suddenly understood, and they came to the Buddha hand in hand. After bowing to the Subduing Tiger Arhat, Qi Lingyun sat on the right of Qi Jinchan, and Qi Xiaer sat on the left of Qi Jinchan.

"Sisters!" Qi Jinchan was so happy to see his two sisters sitting beside him that he was about to speak, but Qi Lingyun gave him a sharp look, signaling him to listen carefully to what the Subduing Tiger Arhat said.

When Madam Miaoyi and Udumbara Nun saw this scene, they found a seat in the back and listened quietly to the Subduing Tiger Arhat's lecture.

After everyone had settled down, the Tiger Subduing Arhat began to speak.
However, he was talking about Mahayana Buddhism. Outside the floating island, evil winds were howling and the evil demons and their followers were screaming. But inside the island, the sky was falling and shining brightly.

Qi Jinchan, Qi Xiaer and some immortals and arhats with excellent roots and deep understanding of Mahayana Buddhism could not help but smile when they heard the wonderful points. As the ancients said: If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.

It is no wonder that these immortals could not help themselves when listening to the teachings.

Some immortals with shallow roots seemed to have gained some understanding after listening to the lectures for several days in a row.

Of course, there are also those who listen to Mahayana Buddhism as if they were listening to a foreign book, and they are a little confused and don't understand it at all.
Some people even listened so drowsily that they felt their whole bodies relax. The words uttered by the Subduing Tiger Arhat seemed to make them feel like sleepy bugs crawling into them, and they fell asleep directly.

Of course, there are also those who disdain Mahayana Buddhism!
Buddha's light also appeared on the head of the Subduing Tiger Arhat. This Buddha's light was as big as an acre of field and as golden as clouds.

Above the clouds, a golden statue of an arhat riding a lying tiger appeared!
The golden statue floats in the clouds, showing the mystery of Mahayana Buddhism and the boundless wonders of Buddhism...

Before I knew it, the sun was setting in the west.
As the Subduing Tiger Arhat put away his golden body, the day’s preaching came to an end!

A group of eminent monks and immortals stood up and bowed to the Subduing Tiger Arhat, thus concluding today's ceremony.

After holding it in for a whole day, Qi Jinchan finally had the chance to show off to his two sisters!
"You mean, you and the Laughing Monk were accepted into the Subduing Tiger Arhat's school!"

Qi Lingyun couldn't hide his surprise when he heard his brother say this.

But she knew that her old father was devoted to training the younger brother of this three-generation virgin boy and intended to make him the next leader of Emei.

Besides, since he was born, he has been practicing the Taiqing immortal method passed down by the Changmei Patriarch!
If he becomes a disciple of Subduing Tiger Arhat, he will definitely not have the chance to become the leader of Emei.

Qi Lingyun was a naturally intelligent and wise person. She thought of a lot just from Qi Jinchan's few words.

Even from the outside world's perspective, Emei is now almost indistinguishable from Buddhism.

However, Emei, which has always boasted of being the direct descendant of Taiqing, would never allow an Arhat disciple to take over the position of leader.

If Brother Chan really became a disciple of Subduing Tiger Arhat, it would not be acceptable to him, not to mention to the Daode Sect, even to the Changmei Patriarch.

Looking at his brother who was showing off, and Qi Xiaer who was standing beside him with a happy face, Qi Lingyun's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of his mother, Madam Miaoyi.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Madam Miaoyi and Udumbara Nun, accompanied by an old monk holding a Zen stick, had already arrived in front of the few people.

Madam Miaoyi scolded directly, "I heard from Zen Master Tianmeng that it is true that Subduing Tiger Arhat accepted Laughing Monk as his disciple. As for you, Arhat only allowed you to practice with him for a while, but he did not accept you as his disciple!"

"I've met the Zen Master!"

Qi Lingyun and Qi Xiaer hurriedly bowed to the old monk when they saw him.

Even when Qi Jinchan saw the old monk, he would bow to him with his hands folded.

The old monk kindly reached out and stroked Qi Jinchan's head:
"Since Fu Hu Luo Han promised Jin Chan that he could practice with him, then he must have a connection with the Buddha. Whether he can enter the gate or not is just a title!"

When Qi Jinchan heard the old monk's words, he winked at Madam Miaoyi and gestured.

You see, all the masters say so.

It was only when a girl in red reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes that he calmed down.

The girl in red is named Zhu Wen. She and Qi Jinchan have been in love for many lifetimes. They are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

“Master, it is a blessing for my son to be favored by the Subduing Tiger Arhat, but you also know that this child has a special identity!

Shuming originally wanted to wait for some time until his master came out of retreat, and then take the child to Taiqing Heaven Realm to meet the head master and see if he could ask for a chance to practice Buddhism! "

Madam Miaoyi did not elaborate on the old monk's special status. The old monk in front of her was called Tianmeng, and he had attained enlightenment before Changmei Zhenren, the founder of Emei.

Even Bodhidharma had to call him "Junior Brother" when he met him.

Zen Master Tianmeng had a very extraordinary cultivation and had experienced three lives. How could he not see the concerns in Madam Miaoyi's heart? He stroked Qi Jinchan's head and chanted:
"It doesn't matter, Buddha is Tao! Tao is also Buddha!"

.........

"Oh! Buddha is the Tao!"

In a corner of the Zen forest not far from the Qibao Pagoda, a girl with bare feet and a graceful figure was watching the scene from afar, with the corners of her mouth raised and a sneer on her face.

There are countless immortals and eminent monks coming and going around, and inside the Seven Treasures Pagoda there is a powerful figure like the Subduing Tiger Arhat.

But they all seemed to have not noticed the barefoot girl holding a black umbrella and standing proudly in the Zen forest.

Beside the barefoot girl, the Taoist monk Bai Mo in a Taoist robe nervously watched the escaping light passing by him.
Every time those righteous people who showed Buddha's light and mysterious light passed by, he would become nervous, with shifty eyes and a sense of stealth.

There was no other way. Bai Mo Dao couldn't help but be nervous. If it was discovered that he, a demon, had sneaked into this Dharma assembly where so many righteous people had gathered, he would probably be beaten to death and never be reborn!

"Do you know why these monks insist on getting involved with these Emei disciples?"

Just as Bai Mo Dao Ren was trembling with fear, a cold voice rang in his ears. This voice was like the black ice that never melts.
Bai Mo Dao Ren couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and his soul tightened in the Nigong Pill. He had an illusion that if he relaxed even a little, he would be torn to pieces by the woman in front of him, never to be saved.

"Princess! I don't know!"

Bai Mo Taoist circulated his magic power throughout his body, and the coldness was slightly relieved. He felt that the person in front of him was not a beautiful fairy, but a peerless ferocious beast lurking in the depths of darkness, watching him all the time.

In fact, after knowing the identity of the girl, Bai Mo Dao would rather have a ferocious beast standing in front of him.

This woman is one of the seventy-two princesses of Ashura in the Blood Sea.

Her status in the sea of ​​blood and her cultivation were far from comparable to that of the Rakshasa woman he married!
As everyone knows, the Rakshasa women in the sea of ​​blood are all cruel and ruthless witches who eat people without leaving any bones, not to mention these princesses with titles.

Bai Mo Dao Ren never imagined that when he came to this deep sea to avoid the Rakshasa woman in his home, he would actually run into someone even more ruthless.

Thinking of the fate of falling into the hands of these Asura witches, Bai Mo Dao Ren shuddered.

The girl was seen caressing the pagoda beside her, and seemed to be very interested in the golden Bodhi flower on the pagoda:
"These Zen monks practice Mahayana Buddhism and worship Sakyamuni. Now Maitreya is the Buddha of Lingshan.
These Zen monks who practice Mahayana Buddhism have lost their backers, so they must seek external help. The so-called Buddha is the Tao, which is nothing more than an attempt to use the past events to see the attitude of the Taiqing Sect Master!"

The Taoist Master Bai Mo glanced at the girl. The girl gently stroked the golden lotus flower on the pagoda with her fingers, with a gentle expression.

That peaceful look doesn't look like that of an Asura witch, but more like a Buddhist saint.

When Bai Mo Daoist saw her figure, he actually felt a sense of power as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

Just when Bai Mo Dao Ren was about to be completely immersed in it, he suddenly remembered the identity of this girl. He was immediately startled and sobered up, and he dared not look up at the girl again.

"You are quite clever!" The girl looked at him in surprise: "It seems that my sister has trained you well!"

The girl chuckled and said, "I originally came here to find the whereabouts of the leader on the orders of my father. I originally just came to the Abyss Sea to try my luck.
But looking at the tense and alert looks of these bald donkeys, it seems that my old father actually got a glimpse of the operation of the heavens, and the whereabouts of the leader may really be in this abyssal sea!"

"If you can help me find the whereabouts of the leader, I will not only give you the last volume of the Great Asura Magic, but also grant you a position as the Lord of the Heaven Realm. How about that?"

Bai Mo Dao Ren shrank his head. If he had a choice, he would have closed his five senses and six consciousnesses and pretended that he had not heard these words.

When it comes to the important matters involving the leader of the Styx, the mighty Buddhists, and the saints, if an ant like him gets involved, there will probably be nothing left!

Although Bai Mo Dao Ren was not impressed by the promise made by the Asura Princess,

But he also knew that now that this matter had been told to him, he had no way out.

"My cultivation is shallow, but since the princess has found me, I believe you can use me in some way!"

"I told you that you are a smart person!" The girl's eyes turned: "Those bald Buddhists are staring at our Asura clan closely, I need an umbrella!"

Bai Mo Dao Ren subconsciously looked at the big black umbrella in the girl's hand, and then he realized:
"Princess, I want to find someone to block the sight of those Buddhists for you!
But with your cultivation level, even the Dragon Subduing Arhat can’t find your trace, so why bother…”

The girl's eyes fell on Bai Mo Dao Ren, causing him to shudder and swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The girl picked up the golden Boxun flower from the stone tower and played with it on her fingertips:
"Of course I am not afraid of one Subduing Tiger Arhat, but if there is another Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, then it will be a bit troublesome!"

The girl's eyes flickered, her face was like the melting ice and snow in early spring: "Hehe, besides, I also want to see who is so charming that he dares to snatch people from us in the sea of ​​blood!"

.........

Time passed in a flash and more than ten months had passed. The evil wind in the deep sea gradually weakened.

On this day, the Subduing Tiger Arhat was still preaching in front of the Seven Treasures Pagoda. Suddenly, he stopped talking and looked up into the sky.

Many immortals and monks were puzzled, but none of them dared to ask.

Only Zen Master Tianmeng stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "Brother, it's time!"

The Subduing Tiger Arhat said with a smile: "The master of this place has come, so let's stop preaching now!"

Outside the floating island, the evil wind stopped at some point, and the sky and earth were vast and vast, with a rare sense of peace and tranquility.

A beam of golden light shot from the distant floating continent, landed in front of the floating island, and revealed its figure.

It was actually a bronze chariot, with two demon generals driving the chariot. A tall demon king stood on the chariot, holding a jade slip in his hand!

"According to the order of our king, a certain family has come to deliver an invitation to all the senior monks to attend the banquet to discuss important matters!"

When the novice monk on the floating island saw the murderous bronze chariot, he did not dare to delay and immediately flew towards the island.

(I just received a call. My grandma should be dying in the next few days. I have to go back and take care of her!)
