Save the Bachelor of Heaven

…

Leaving Ning Caichen behind, Xiang Nan headed for Pudu Temple.

That was the lair of the evil monk Pudu Cihang.

When we arrived at the Pudu Temple, which is three hundred miles away, we saw that this temple covers an area of ​​more than a thousand acres, with rows of buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, glazed green tiles, and is very magnificent.

It turned out that after Pu Du Ci Hang was named the Imperial Master, the Emperor, despite the empty treasury, rewarded him with a large sum of money to build a Buddhist temple for him. Civil and military officials, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen also donated money and materials to do good deeds.

That is why Pudu Temple was built in such a grand manner and can be called the largest temple in the world.

However, above this seemingly solemn, sacred and lofty temple, there is a thick evil aura that makes people feel sick at the mere smell.

Xiang Nan made hand gestures and chanted a spell, and in an instant, his forehead suddenly tore apart, and his third eye appeared. Then countless rays of light appeared, and in an instant, Xiang Nan had a clear view of the entire Pudu Temple inside and outside.

I saw that the statue enshrined in the main hall on the first floor was not Tathagata Buddha, nor the Horizontal Three Buddhas or the Vertical Three Buddhas, but a statue of an Arhat with ferocious and angry eyes, jagged fangs, hundreds of hands and feet, and bone spurs all over the body.

There is a prayer flag hanging in front of the Arhat statue, with the words "Namo Baoxiang Longli Arhat!"

Xiang Nan was stunned. He was well-read, knowledgeable, and familiar with the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, but he did not remember that Buddhism had a precious-looking dragon-powered arhat.

Looking further back, they saw hundreds of empty bodies sitting in the Cihang Hall. They were all civil and military officials of the court who had died.

After Pu Du Ci Hang was named the Imperial Master, many civil and military officials in the court were either deceived by him or coveted his power and worshipped him as their master.

As a result, he was able to plot against these ministers, eat up all their internal organs, flesh, blood and brains, leaving only an empty and smelly skin.

If he lets his descendants wear the same stinky skin as these ministers, they can use their power to control the government, oppress the people, bring chaos to the world, and cause harm to all living things.

"What a cruel method." Xiang Nan was dumbfounded after seeing it.

The viciousness of this evil monk's heart is truly horrifying.

In the backyard of Pudu Temple, countless descendants of Pudu Cihang were gnawing on human flesh.

Those were the people who had mistakenly believed in Pudu Cihang. After listening to his lectures and being deceived by him, they came to Pudu Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for good weather and good family safety.

The result was that they were like sheep falling into the tiger's mouth. They were all captured alive by the descendants of the evil monk, and then sent to the backyard, where they were skinned, their tendons were pulled out, their bones were knocked out and their marrow was sucked out, and they became food for the demons.

Over the years, the backyard of Pudu Temple was littered with corpses and bones, piled up like a small mountain, and the resentment was rising to the sky!

Logically speaking, with so many people disappearing for no reason, the people should have noticed it long ago and reported it to the authorities for a detailed investigation.

But Pu Du Ci Hang was the imperial teacher of the dynasty, and all the civil and military officials were his disciples. Even if the local officials received a complaint, they could only turn a blind eye or even beat the complainant first.

Therefore, he has been doing evil for so many years, and no one can control him.

Ordinary people are the most ignorant and can be easily bewitched by Pu Du Ci Hang. Therefore, there is still an endless stream of people coming to burn incense and worship Buddha, but the result is that they lose their lives in vain.

…

Xiang Nan then cast an illusion spell and entered the Pu Du Temple.

He had used the Dharma Eye on his forehead to see through the inside and outside of the Pudu Temple. He knew that there was an underground palace built under the pagoda in the backyard of the Pudu Temple.

But Xiang Nan knew that they were just a group of demons in human skin.

After passing through Pudu Temple, Xiang Nan went straight to the pagoda.

There is a plaque hanging high above the gate of the pagoda, which reads "The Baoxiang Pagoda was built by imperial decree". The pagoda is nearly 100 meters high and covered with glazed tiles. When the sun shines on it, it is colorful and beautiful.

In ancient times, colored glaze was a precious commodity, and only the royal palaces and gardens were allowed to use colored glaze tiles. However, this pagoda, which is covered with colored glaze, is truly priceless, and it would have been impossible to build it without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. Ordinary people can hardly have a full meal. These foolish rulers and treacherous ministers would rather spend huge sums of money to build pagodas than give a little to the people. It's really despicable." Xiang Nan couldn't help but curse.

In order to please Pu Du Ci Hang, the emperor, civil and military ministers, gentry, celebrities, and wealthy merchants spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build a pagoda for him.

But this money is clearly the people's hard-earned money.

Now is the time of trouble, with starving people everywhere and people living in misery. They have money but don't know how to help the victims, but build temples and pagodas for a monster. It's really hateful.

Although many of them have become food for Pudu Cihang, Xiang Nan still wanted to scold them.

When Xiang Nan arrived at the gate of the pagoda, he saw that the pagoda was protected by forbidden spells and he could not enter without permission, otherwise he would be easily discovered.

Fortunately, he was proficient in the skills of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, evil and magic, so he started to crack it immediately.

After about an incense stick of time, Xiang Nan successfully lifted the ban and sneaked into the Baoxiang Tower.

In the center of the tower, there is a statue of Buddha with evil deeds and evil appearance - the statue of Namo Baoxiang Longli Luohan.

However, he did not delve into it further, but instead looked for a way to open the underground palace.

A moment later, he found a mechanism under the cushion in front of the Arhat's throne.

However, Xiang Nan did not rush forward to press the mechanism. Instead, after careful inspection, he bent down and slowly input a Buddhist internal force.

It turns out that this mechanism actually requires pure Buddhist internal force to activate, which is really unexpected.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan had studied Buddhism before, so he was able to activate the mechanism successfully.

If it were someone else, even if they could find the underground palace, it would be difficult to enter because they did not understand the Buddhist techniques.

There was a clicking sound, and the Arhat statue moved aside, leaving the entrance to the underground palace behind it.

Xiang Nan then entered the underground palace.

Then I saw the Buddha's light shining in the underground palace, filling the whole room with brilliant light.

The source is a silk painting of Buddha hanging in the center.

In the painting, there is a giant Buddha sitting upright, with a halo of light behind him. His appearance is solemn and lifelike, which makes people feel awe at the first sight.

There were countless small words embroidered with gold thread around the Buddha statue. When Xiang Nan saw it, he was stunned.

"Is this...Namo Baoxiang Tathagata Sutra?" he asked in surprise.

The scripture reads: "Thus I have heard: At one time, the Buddha told the bhikkhus in the Jetavana Monastery: One should contemplate the Dharma nature of the Tathagata, which is like the moon that breaks through darkness and illuminates the emptiness of the five aggregates. If someone holds this mind seal, practices the four mindfulnesses, cuts off the fetters of the three realms, and attains the Arhat fruit...

May the fire refine the true form, take the clouds of incense from the worship of believers, the obsession of prayers, and even the poisons of ignorance, anger, greed, arrogance, and doubt, and gather them into the fire of Samadhi; cast the Dharma body with blood and bones, and use the 84,000 pores of the body to absorb the karma of all living beings as relics, and transform the five internal organs into the five wisdoms and six supernatural powers..."
