There was silence on the golden peak, and only the sound of prayer beads could be heard. From time to time, the buddha rays behind the heads of the monks would scatter, and they would fall from the sky.
Old Rulai looked around and saw the expressions of all the bodhisattvas, venerables, and arhats. Li Tianxing, the former devil cult master, had used Si Youyou's beauty to appear in front of all the monks, messing up their minds. Their buddha hearts were damaged, and distracting thoughts were born.
Even when he had executed his dharma and stirred up the corporeal bodies of numerous rulai in Thousand Buddhas Pagoda, he could only suppress them for a moment.
When the buddha rays behind their heads scattered and they fell from the sky, it meant that their buddha heart had been broken. Buddhism paid attention to the cultivation of the mind, so when their buddha heart was broken and they were tainted with karma, their frame of mind would crumble. The ones who fell weren't just monks, but ordinary people.
When they fell from the sky, they fell from a place far away from the mortal world into the world of mortals. Some of them would have a change of heart and repent, while others would leave Great Thunderclap Monastery and struggle in the world of mortals to free themselves. Once the mortal heart was set, it would be hard for them to free themselves.
Si Youyou's beauty had caused many of the higher-ups of Great Thunderclap Monastery to fall and suffer heavy losses.
However, this couldn't be blamed on Qin Mu and the rest. After all, Qin Mu and the rest had already reminded them that it was Old Rulai who had insisted on seeing Madam Si's true appearance to test their buddha hearts.
There were still a few people on the mountain whose buddha hearts were stable and didn't waver in the slightest. However, these eminent monks were of a different race and not of the human race. Even though Madam Si was beautiful, they weren't of the same race, so these eminent monks couldn't see any beauty in her. It was just a stinky skin.
"Your cultivations are still not enough and are obsessed with the skin, unable to see the truth."
Old Rulai looked around and pointed at the monks. "When you see her beauty, you find it hard to control yourselves, but you don't know that the beauty you see is only the beauty you think it is and not the true beauty. For example, Senior Brother Hai Kong, do you think she is beautiful? "
He was talking about an eminent monk of a different race who had achieved the Dao. "I'm not of the same race as her, so I can't feel her beauty."
Old Rulai smiled. "Beauty that you can't feel when you're not of the same race isn't the true beauty, it's only the skin. Beauty is great truth, great enlightenment, and great wisdom. Cult Leader Li, the skin you are obsessed with is not true beauty. Among all living things, your beauty only occupies the word 'human'; do you know how narrow it is? "
All the monks felt enlightened, and Qin Mu also felt that his words made a lot of sense. As expected of Old Rulai, a person who had attained enlightenment, he might really be able to subdue Li Tianxing, the devil in his heart.
The reason why Li Tianxing wanted to become Madam Si was because Madam Si was too beautiful. She messed up his dao heart and made him want to become Madam Si.
Madam Si chuckled. "Old Rulai, there are ten thousand Daos in the world, and my Heavenly Saint Cult only occupies the human word. Your Buddhism Sect occupies ten thousand Daos, so can you occupy them all? Let's not waste words. What ability do you have to subdue me? "
Old Rulai smiled and took out a bronze mirror to hand to a venerable beside him. "Give this mirror to him."
The venerable took the bronze mirror and walked down the high altar toward Madam Si. When he saw Madam Si's appearance, his heart thumped wildly, and he immediately closed his eyes, not daring to look again.
He handed the bronze mirror over, and Madam Si took it in her hands. She looked at the mirror in self-pity and giggled. "Truly a peerless beauty, I feel pity for her."
All the monks saw her seductive appearance and found it hard to control themselves.
Old Rulai smiled. "Flip the mirror over."
Madam Si flipped the mirror over and saw a white skeleton in it. It was her appearance after death.
"What does Cult Leader Li think?"
Old Rulai smiled. "Even if you are a peerless beauty, you will only be a skeleton at the end of your life. Do you think a skeleton is still beautiful?"
Madam Si threw the bronze mirror on the ground and crushed it with her foot. She then said indifferently, "This is nothing but a trick to deceive ordinary people, saying that I am a pink skeleton. Rulai, I understand the logic, but I'm not like you who wants to live a glorious life in the next life. My life is grand and vigorous. Asking for the next life is the action of a coward. Your little tricks won't be able to subdue me. You said that a mirror can convert me. Why don't I walk around your Great Thunderclap Temple and see if you convert me, or if I convert all the monks in your temple? " How about you make a bet with me? "
Old Rulai frowned slightly. "You don't have the root of wisdom."
Blind also knew that things were bad and said, "Dao brother, what root of wisdom is all nonsense. Why don't we just make a move and subdue him?"
Old Rulai muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment. "Cult Leader Li was once the devil cult master, so I will bring him into Thousand Buddhas Pagoda to subdue him. Monks, your willpower is shallow and your cultivation isn't enough, so stay outside Thousand Buddhas Pagoda. "
All the monks acknowledged and walked down the high altar to gather around Thousand Buddhas Pagoda. Some monks also hurriedly came out from Thousand Buddhas Pagoda, not daring to stay.
Old Rulai smiled. "Cult Master Qin, you are also the devil cult master, so your devil nature is deep. Since ancient times, buddha and devil have been separated. Cult Master is a guest and has come to ask for help, so I won't subdue you. However, while I'm subduing Cult Leader Li, I hope he can stay in Great Thunderclap Monastery to listen to the dharma and dissolve the evil in his heart, so he won't commit too many sins in the future. "
Old Ma and Blind's hearts were like mirrors. Old Rulai wanted them to stay in Great Thunderclap Monastery. If he could enlighten them, that would be great, but if he couldn't, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Qin Mu was overjoyed and smiled. "Senior brother is wise! In that case, we shall impose on you. May senior brother subdue Cult Leader Li, this old devil, as soon as possible. This is a great merit! "
Old Rulai gave a slight smile and instructed, "Let these benefactors stay in the monastery."
One of the venerables hesitated. "Revered One of the World, there are many places in the monastery that are sacred grounds of our cult. If they barge in recklessly …"
"Let them be. There's no place in Great Thunderclap Monastery that can't be seen," Old Rulai said.
"When the National Division came, I even showed him Rulai's Mahayana Sutra. Can the evil done by Heavenly Devil Cult Leader be more evil than the National Division? Cult Master Qin is also a living being, so there are no outsiders in Great Thunderclap Monastery. "
