Loud Buddhist chanting resounded through the square, and a golden "Buddha" word appeared above the light formation, slowly rotating.
Shen Luo, Lu Huaming, and Gu Hualing were repelled by an invisible force and retreated out of the light formation.
The chanting became louder and louder, and the world became solemn. The golden "Buddha" word quickly grew bigger, and its rotation speed began to accelerate. It became more and more dazzling under the sunlight, and could not be looked at directly.
Perhaps due to the influence of the Buddhist light formation, Chan 'er's body was covered with a layer of golden light, and a golden halo faintly appeared behind her head. She looked solemn and dignified, and people could not help but feel a sense of admiration.
"Chan 'er's form, could it be …" Shen Luo was surprised to see this scene, and a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
The Buddhist mantra in the surrounding void became several times bigger, rolling and gathering toward Jianglu's body.
Jianglu's face showed pain, and he roared angrily, but it was useless.
Time passed little by little, and his manic emotions slowly subsided. The blood-red color on his skin faded, and it seemed that the demonic thoughts in his body had been purified.
After a while, Jianglu's whole body completely returned to its original state, and the hostility on his face also faded, and he became calm.
"Buddhist magic is really extraordinary. It can really expel the demonic nature!" Shen Luo thought to himself.
Seeing that Jianglu had returned to his original state, Zen Master Hai Shi and the others stopped chanting. They looked a little tired, and it seemed that chanting the Demon Subduing Scripture consumed a lot of energy.
But the Buddhist chanting did not disperse. Chan 'er's eyes were closed, and she was still chanting.
Not only that, but the golden halo behind her head became brighter, and circles of golden light rose, rippling to the surroundings like water waves. The air was filled with a strong sandalwood fragrance.
Although without the help of the golden light formation, the Buddhist mantra in the void did not become smaller. Instead, it grew bigger and continued to rush toward Jianglu's body, which quickly became transparent.
"What … What's going on?" Everyone in Jinshan Temple was shocked.
Shen Luo and the other two were also surprised. The situation seemed to have changed again.
Jianglu didn't resist anymore. He looked at Chan 'er with a helpless look in his eyes. A moment later, his body emitted a soft puff sound. His whole person disappeared into thin air and turned into a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads, emitting a faint golden brilliance.
The purple Buddhist beads moved slightly and flew out of the golden pillar of light, wrapping themselves around Chan 'er's wrist.
The golden light on Chan 'er's body suddenly shone brightly, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it. Solemn chanting resounded through the air, and an extremely powerful force surged out from it, pushing everyone in the vicinity away.
A huge Buddha with a benevolent face slowly emerged from the golden light. Looking at it, one could not help but feel awe and want to kneel on the ground.
"This is the Golden Cicada Dharma Form! I understand now, Chan 'er is the true reincarnation of the Golden Cicada! "Chan Master Hai Shi cried out involuntarily when he saw the Buddha's image.
The nearby monks were all shocked when they heard this. They looked at Chan 'er in disbelief. However, they had no choice but to believe the scene in front of them.
"If Chan 'er is the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, then what is Jianglu?" Lu Huaming on the side opened his eyes wide and murmured.
"Jianglu is not a human, but a demon. That string of Buddhist beads is psychic and turned into a human." Gu Hualing was not surprised at all. He seemed to have known this situation long ago.
"Fellow Gu, you've already seen through Jianglu's true body?" Shen Luo vaguely guessed this before, so his face was still calm as he asked.
Gu Hualing glanced at Shen Luo and said indifferently, "I am a demon. Naturally, I can sense the aura of Jianglu, who is also a demon."
Shen Luo glanced at Gu Hualing. A strange light seemed to flash in his eyes, but he did not say anything.
The huge golden Dharma Form did not last for too long. After flashing a few times, it turned into a magnificent golden light. It gathered towards Chan 'er like a whale sucking in water and merged into her body.
After a few breaths, the golden light that filled the sky disappeared. Chan 'er opened her eyes.
"Chan 'er, why can you manifest the Golden Cicada Dharma Form? Are you the true reincarnation of the Golden Cicada?" Elder Zhe Shi asked before Zen Master Hai Shi could speak.
"What reincarnation of the Golden Cicada? What happened here? This little monk remembers chanting the Demon Subduing Scripture. That's right, where is Jianglu? "Chan 'er muttered with a blank expression.
"Master, I am here …" A weak voice sounded. It came from the string of purple Buddhist beads.
"Demon! The Buddhist beads have become demons! "The surrounding monks were in an uproar again. Some of the more impatient ones directly took out their magic tools.
Shen Luo frowned and was about to stop them.
"Don't act rashly!" Zen Master Hai Shi shouted.
Zen Master Hai Shi's prestige in Jinshan Temple was very high. The impatient monks all stopped.
Zen Master Hai Shi slowly walked to Chan 'er's side and looked at the string of Buddhist beads.
"You are Jianglu? What is going on? Although Buddhists don't kill, they don't show mercy to demons. If you want to be safe, then confess everything! "he shouted in a deep voice.
"Hmph! You only defeated me by luck because of the help of outsiders and the power of the formation! What are you so proud of? "The Buddhist beads snorted coldly.
"Jianglu, don't be rude to the abbot!" Chan 'er also looked at the Buddhist beads in her hand and said in a deep voice.
The purple Buddhist beads seemed to be afraid of Chan 'er's words and immediately stopped talking.
"Actually … it's no big deal to tell you. I've already become like this, and you still can't guess what's going on. You really are stupid. I am the Buddhist beads that the Golden Cicada always wore when he was alive. Chan 'er, you are the true reincarnation of the Golden Cicada. When Master died, for some reason, my body was tainted with demonic blood and gained intelligence. That was how I was able to reincarnate as a demon, "the purple Buddhist beads said.
"Demonic blood!" When Shen Luo heard this, his expression changed.
"I was influenced by the demonic blood and wanted to replace Chan 'er as the Golden Cicada to be revered by everyone. This, this is human nature! I forced Chan 'er to preach for me. First, he understood the principles of Buddhism. I couldn't preach them at all. Second, when the Sanskrit entered my ears, the demonic blood in my body temporarily calmed down, "the Buddhist beads continued.
Hearing this, everyone finally understood. No wonder Jianglu always had Chan 'er by his side and let him preach for him.
"You demon, you were fated to take human form, but instead of cultivating, you pretended to be the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada and tarnished our Jinshan Temple's hundreds of years of good reputation. Today, you even seriously injured Elder Tang Shi and Elder Lu Shi. Your crimes are punishable by death!" a middle-aged monk shouted sternly.
He was Elder Tang Shi's disciple and originally looked forward to Jianglu. However, now that he found out that the person he admired was actually a demon, he immediately felt ashamed and angry.
"I've already done it. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I'm not afraid," the Buddhist beads said indifferently.
"You …" The middle-aged monk flew into a rage and was about to step forward to punish the Buddhist beads.
"Senior Brother Hui Tong, Jianglu just has some secular obsession in his heart. Coupled with the influence of the demonic blood, he lost control and hurt people. Please be magnanimous and forgive him this time." Chan 'er hid the Buddhist beads behind her back and saluted with one hand.
The middle-aged monk frowned. Chan 'er was now the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada. How could he dare to be rude to her?
"Hui Tong, Buddhist precepts. What's more, there are guests here now. Don't be presumptuous!" Monk Hai Shi reprimanded.
Monk Hui Tong hurriedly agreed and retreated.
Seeing this, Chan 'er breathed a sigh of relief and took the Buddhist beads back.
