Chapter 902 Temptation
The "Bodhi Staring and Tired Appearance" is formed by gathering the Buddha nature of the six major Buddhist disciples through the Bodhi Array.

The "Bodhi" here means enlightenment and wisdom. It has no fixed form. It is not the one who says, "If you get into trouble in the future, just don't tell your master about it." The "deng" represents ignorance and endlessness, and the "xiang" refers to the various external manifestations of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind in Bodhi.

Bodhi has no fixed image. Now it is revealed by the six major disciples with their respective wisdom and Buddha nature, and thus has a fixed image.

This is a female-looking statue, which looks a bit like a fusion of moonlight, Guanyin and Mahasthamaprapta. The statue has a dragon bun on its head, wears a white silk robe, and has endless compassion in its eyes.

Each of the six major disciples possessed their own lotus pedestals. The twelve-tiered golden lotus of merit upon which Yueguang sat belonged was the one that led them to enlightenment. The other five possessed their own lotus pedestals, each of varying grades. Maitreya and Guanyin's lotus pedestals were the highest, both reaching the ninth tier, the highest level in the prehistoric world. Guanyin, a talented person, saw a business opportunity and established a lotus pond on Mount Putuo in the South China Sea, intending to gather incense from all living beings and cultivate high-grade lotus flowers. This would eventually become a professional lotus pedestal manufacturing base integrating planting, harvesting, manufacturing, and sales.
The lotus pedestal manufacturing base is a matter for the future. Except for the six of them, the other eight hundred Buddhist disciples do not have lotus pedestals.

They sat cross-legged in meditation, chanting scriptures and reciting the Buddha's name. The six major disciples sat on lotus platforms floating in the air, and at the top was the Bodhi Dharma image that had just gathered.

The Dharma image quickly took shape, and seemed to glance at Guangchengzi intentionally or unintentionally.

Guangchengzi tried to resist with Yuqing magic, but Bodhi's wisdom was harmless. It had no killing power. It was more like the moonlight gathered the Buddha nature of six people to help Guangchengzi realize the truth and see his true self.

If you have nothing to do, just take a look at those powerful people who have killed two corpses. Theoretically, it can increase their chances of killing three corpses. Generally, the third corpse is the ego corpse, and the most difficult thing to see clearly is yourself.

Now Guangchengzi is still a long way from killing the three corpses. It is useless to see his true self clearly. All he has is troubles, endless troubles.

So dirty! Guangchengzi felt himself covered in filth, and then more wisdom burst forth from his spirit. He discovered that his Dao body was not perfect, his Dao heart was tarnished, and scenes from the past emerged one after another. He had made so many mistakes in his life, so many things that he normally didn't care about, but actually regretted for the rest of his life. If only he could start all over again...
"Get out! Get out!" After all, he was a Daluo Jinxian with superb cultivation. He would not be defeated in one move. He separated a part of his mind, and the shadowy fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation emerged in his soul.

"What are you doing?"

"Why did you plot against the Immortal Guangchengzi? Aren't you afraid of heaven's punishment?"

"Kneel down immediately and beg for mercy from the Immortal of the Chan Sect. If the Immortal is merciful, he might even spare your lives!"

Countless people suddenly gathered around, including merchants, farmers, blacksmiths, and even the storyteller in the teahouse. All the people Guangchengzi had contacted or indirectly contacted in the past day crossed the spatial distance and appeared at the edge of the battlefield in an instant.

They were filled with righteous indignation and numbered in the tens of thousands, cursing at a group of Buddhist disciples.

Buddhism has been around for less than two and a half years now. It is nonsense to expect these Buddhist disciples to have great endurance.

Some disciples from the Jiejiao sect took out their Zen staffs and crescent shovels. "We're lucky we didn't cause any trouble, how dare you mess with me? You're just a bunch of worthless mortals!" If anyone dared to come and talk nonsense, I'd kill them seven times.

Moonlight, who was in charge of the Bodhi Formation, saw the changes below and had to let the Bodhi Dharma Image allocate some of its light of wisdom to shine on the disciples.

"Shariputra, the Brahman formation, guard the gates carefully. All disciples, listen up and remember the Five Precepts!"

The Five Precepts—not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, not lying, and not drinking alcohol—rank first. Sun Wukong killed the robber, and he admitted it himself. "I killed him, so what?" Tang Sanzang said, "Take a few coins and buy two plasters to apply to him." He was trying to get away with it, believing that as long as I didn't know, it wouldn't be a violation. But when Zhuge Liang exposed the matter, Tang Sanzang could no longer conceal it, and the situation spiraled out of control.

The precept of not killing is very important in Buddhism. Once this precept is broken, at least one third of the seal on Rāhu will be lifted.

As Yue Guang's confidant, Shariputra quickly stepped forward and commanded the disciples to set up a turtle-like iron barrel arhat formation. You can hit us or scold us as much as you want, we won't fight back!

Many disciples from the Jiejiao sect expressed their dissatisfaction and glared at him, but they were all suppressed by him.

Yue Guang frowned slightly. These Jiejiao disciples were the source of the trouble. She had tried her best to select those Jiejiao disciples with relatively gentle personalities. Those who liked to stir up trouble, like Ma Yuan and the Golden Light Holy Mother, were left in Lingshan. Yet something almost happened.

The Bodhi Dharma Image separated some of its light of wisdom, which helped Guangchengzi, who was at a disadvantage, to recover a little. He was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He almost, almost was converted by the traitor of Buddhism.

This bunch of bastards didn't give him any chance to make a move. They just teamed up with six people to attack. This is too insidious!

If Kou can go, I can go too. He frowned, and the power of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation was also transmitted along the Bodhi Dharma Image.

Yueguang's mind moved, and a ball of light with uncertain brightness appeared in front of her eyes. In just a moment, more than ten complete avenues appeared before her eyes, so close that she could touch it or even control it with just a stretch of her hand.

No more hard planning, no more studying day and night, just reach out.

As if sensing her intention, more avenues burst out from the light ball, hundreds and thousands of them, each one so mysterious and majestic. The truth opened its heart to her at this moment. As long as she asked for it, there would be no more secrets in the world.

"Little Moonlight, you must hold on!"

"Yes, isn't this the trick of the One Ring? Magnifying the greed in one's heart? This trick will definitely not work on me. My will is as strong as steel!"

The voices of Deng Chanyu and Fenghuang rang in her heart, the sound a little distorted, as if they were transmitted from far away.

Moonlight gritted her teeth, knowing she had been tricked. She sat within the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, muttering over and over, "I can't see, I can't see, I can't see anything!"

Relying on self-hypnotic muttering, she barely escaped the temptation of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation.

I have to say that Maitreya's Buddha heart is really strong. Faced with the same temptation, there was no one to remind him, and he didn't have the Twelve Merit Golden Lotus to protect him. He broke free from control almost at the same time as her.
