I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

What was even more outrageous was what happened next. The local government actually sent a team of a hundred people to clear the way for the little girl, and two people at the front were beating gongs to signal the people to get out of the way.

............................

"A five-horse carriage? The first time I went to the palace to preach, I didn't have such a standard. In the entire Sang Kingdom, except for the king, there is actually someone who uses a five-horse carriage!"

Such an exception must be intended to repay the Sun family for their kindness.

But, Honglian still couldn't accept it.

"This is too much. How can this be possible?"

"I, I cannot sit idly by and do nothing!"

After the story of fried dough saving the city spread in the royal capital, Master Tangtang's reputation even surpassed Honglian, the number one master of Buddhism, for a short period of time.

Honglian was already feeling upset, and when she heard that King Sang was welcoming the little girl with such a grand ceremony, she could no longer sit still.

"In terms of reputation, she is no less famous than this poor monk."

"In terms of cultivation, she is not inferior to this poor monk."

"All she needs is a temple of her own. But she has the support of the Sun family. Isn't it just a matter of a word to build a temple?"

The scariest thing is that she is too young.

Even if her cultivation level does not improve at all from now on, after she passes away, who in the Red Lotus Temple can suppress her?

These are all the most ideal situations. Maybe one day she will have an epiphany and achieve immortality. That would be so much fun!

I imagined myself seeing that little girl, clasping my hands together and calling her Master Tangtang...

"The way of incense, the way of incense, what we are fighting for is just one incense."

"If she builds a temple, the popularity of my Red Lotus Temple will be greatly affected. No, I must suppress her."

Calling a young monk to provide writing materials, Honglian wrote a personal letter and asked the monk in the temple to deliver it to the palace.

The letter said that he had not been to the palace to preach for a long time and planned to go there on a certain day.

After receiving the reply from King Sang that "Master is welcome", Honglian immediately set a date five days later.

Five days later, if the trip was not delayed, that would be the day Tangtang arrived at the palace.

"Humph, I'm afraid the king will secretly order the envoy to wait a few days before returning."

If we really had a debate, there was no way I could lose to that little girl.

So you must make sure she arrives on time and makes sure she has to arrive!

...........................

"Have you heard? Master Honglian and Master Tangtang will be debating in the palace in three days."

"really?!"

"It's absolutely true, everyone is saying it!"

"There must be a lot of wizards rushing over there. Where's the host? Will he go?"

After Honglian Temple and its branches made every effort to promote the news, even the monks of Tongming Temple learned the news in just two days.

Huizhen is close to Tangtang, so he will definitely go there this time.

"Mingxin, after I leave, you will be responsible for managing all matters in the temple."

"Yes, Master." Mingxin had a look of regret on his face. To be honest, he really wanted to go and watch this grand Buddhist event.

"Master Fusheng, can you accompany me?"

"..."

The corner of the monk's mouth flashed a hint of a hidden smile, and then he shook his head and refused: "I don't like crowds, Master, please go quickly."

Haha, Honglian Temple, Master Honglian.

I still have a debt to settle with him.

Chapter 149 Buddhist Event

Fighting against Honglian is not just out of personal grudge. The biggest, or even the only, goal of the Kasaya Demon now is to make Tongming Temple the largest temple in Sang Country.

If this goal is to be achieved, the Red Lotus Temple must be defeated.

The fight here is divided into two levels: dealing a devastating blow to the reputation of the Red Lotus Temple and killing the Red Lotus Master.

'The debate in three days is a great opportunity, and I cannot miss it.'

After Huizhen left, Kassapa immediately said that he wanted to go into seclusion to study Buddhism.

He walked into the quiet room that Mingxin had prepared for himself. When the moon rose above the branches and the monks had fallen asleep, a black heart jumped out of the chest of the Kassa Demon.

The evil energy condensed into a pair of bat wings. As the bat wings flapped, the black heart flew out of Tongming Temple and headed straight for the royal city.

It arrived at Honglian Temple before dawn.

It hovered quietly above the temple for a while, as if observing and trying to figure something out.

Soon, the bat wings disappeared and a black heart fell from the sky.

During the descent, a faint Buddha light emerged from the black heart.

The cassock demon after regaining his memory is not a big demon in the ordinary sense. Not only is he good at gathering demonic energy, he can also use Buddha's light!

Silently passing through the wish power shield covering the Red Lotus Temple, the sources of these wishes were all devout Buddhist believers. How could they reject the visiting 'Arhat'?

Snapped--

The landing location was right in front of a treasure hall. Through the crack in the door, one could see three flesh-and-blood Buddha statues enshrined inside.

[If I say I will come to see you, I will definitely come. 】

[Please lend me a helping hand, I will help you to get revenge! ]

Among the three Buddha statues in the flesh, except for the founder of Honglian Temple, the other two have huge resentment in their hearts.

This time, the Kassa Demon and the two of them hit it off immediately.

The black heart grew two legs and jumped out of the palace and landed on the back of the flesh-and-blood Buddha statue on the far right.

Without any resistance, the Buddha allowed the black heart to merge into his body.

....................

A few candles as thick as arms lit up the room as bright as day, where Honglian was immersed in reading various Buddhist scriptures.

Being confident that he can win is one thing, but he also has no intention of underestimating his opponent.

I stayed in the secret room for four full days, and spent another day adjusting my energy and spirit to its peak state.

After washing, dressing neatly, and praying to the ancestors for blessings, Honglian put away the three flesh-and-blood Buddhas and calmly came to the palace.

"Master Honglian is here!"

With a quick glance, he saw that all the abbots of the top-notch temples in Sang Country had arrived.

Most of the core figures from the second and third class temples also came.

King Sang, Her Royal Highness the Queen, and even the Prince were all there.

Upon seeing Honglian, King Sang came forward to greet her, stepping over everyone else.

When he got closer, the king lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "Master, why are you doing this?"

It was originally a very simple matter, but Honglian caused such a big disturbance.

King Sang really didn't understand what Honglian was thinking. So what even if he won the debate with Master Tangtang today?

She is young and can afford to lose!

But Honglian couldn't afford to lose. Once he lost, he would completely become a stepping stone and would not be able to hold his head up in front of that girl for the rest of his life.

"Your Majesty, the situation is pressing, and I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"Why is the situation so pressing?" King Sang asked with a frown.

Honglian remained silent, just tilted his head slightly towards the outside of the palace, as if listening to something.

King Sang was about to ask further questions when suddenly, thunderous cheers broke out outside.

"Mage Tangtang, Mage Tangtang is here!"

"Little wizard, look over here--" Someone held his child high up, as if the child would be blessed if he received the little wizard's attention.

"Master Tangtang saves people from suffering and will surely attain Luo Han Guo in the future!"

.......................

The cheers of the people in the royal city almost shook the palace down, and King Sang's face changed when he heard it.

He finally understood what Honglian meant by the pressing situation. The little wizard's current momentum was so overwhelming that it was truly frightening.

That’s right, at this moment King Sang felt a little scared of Tangtang from the bottom of his heart. It had nothing to do with the girl’s age or personality, it was simply the instinct of a ruler.

'...'

"Honglian cannot lose. He must not lose this time."

The two have known each other for many years, and King Sang is relatively familiar with Honglian's character.

He does not seek wealth, honor or power, nor is he interested in it; he just wants fame.

King Sang was very fond of Master Honglian, who had great magical powers and was devoted to fame.

He didn't want Honglian, whom he knew very well, to be suddenly replaced by a magician named Tangtang who appeared out of nowhere, so he was willing to help Honglian cheat.

"Master, please wait a moment."

King Sang held Honglian's hand and apologized, "I have to go out to greet the young wizard."

Ok?

Honglian calmly accepted the note King Sang thrust into his hand, then clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, please do as you please. I am just here to catch up with you masters."

When she put her hands together, Honglian took the opportunity to see the contents of the note clearly.

He suddenly felt very complicated. Rather than being happy that King Sang favored him, he felt more humiliated.

It would be fine if he couldn't defeat that little girl in terms of cultivation, but now he has to cheat to win in a debate?

There's no need to be like this. Why are you so worried?

I, a poor monk, can win just as well with my real ability!

........................

"Hahahaha, Master Tangtang, I'm sorry for not coming to meet you in person."

Before the little girl stepped down from the sedan chair, King Sang came to greet her outside the palace. His attitude was so nice that it was hard to imagine that he had just opened a back door for Honglian.

Tangtang greeted King Sang in a friendly manner and followed him into the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, she found that there were many people waiting for her, including many acquaintances.

"Master Huizhen, Master Liaojue, Master Ruhai, Master Rukong!"

Huizhen and Liaojue smiled and nodded to the little girl, while Ruhai and Rukong were very excited.

"Master Tangtang——"

"Master Tangtang will win!"

Completely ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding mages, Ru Hai and Ru Kong kept waving their hands at the little girl in the crowd.

"Oh"

Although she didn't know what she was going to win, Tangtang waved to the two of them happily.

King Sang looked around but didn't see Honglian, so he led the little girl towards the garden.

Debating was an elegant affair, and the venue was chosen to be the palace garden.

Honglian didn't want to pretend to greet his opponent, so he had already arrived in the garden one step ahead, set up his formation and waited for Tangtang to arrive.
