The so-called 'enemies of Buddha' did not mean destroying a few temples and killing a few monks. Only by desecrating the Buddhist Dharma and destroying the foundation of Buddhism would it count. It had nothing to do with strength or weakness.
Therefore, the Enemies of Buddha usually had a deep connection with Buddhism. Some of them were even practitioners of Buddhism. This was the case for the White Bone Bodhisattva and the Mahesvara.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that even though the Buddha had boundless divine powers, he was unable to destroy it.
This only demonstrated just how rare the Enemy of Buddha was, yet two had appeared consecutively now, and they were both disciples of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. Even with the Dauntless monk's mental fortitude, he basically wanted to cry.
The Mahesvara was obviously a Buddhist deity, but not a single temple would worship his idol. Moreover, all those who worshipped him were condemned as heretics and had to find ways to ban them.
Naturally, Li Qingshan didn't believe in the Mahesvara. The indigo divine statues behind him were similar to the Seven Treasures Buddhist Kings' incarnation of the Seven Treasures Buddhas. They weren't real deities descending to the mortal world, but they possessed great power.
However, the Seven Treasures Monk King had to cultivate and worship for hundreds of years before he was able to condense the Seven Treasures Buddha incarnation.
He, on the other hand, relied entirely on his Qi to sense and transform into a demon with a single thought.
It was certain that no matter if it was the "Extreme Emperor's Records of World Destruction" or the "Extreme Emperor's Records of World Destruction", this move did not exist. How could the despairing people of the apocalypse understand the true meaning of great destruction? In the end, they would only descend into madness!
Anyone who had even a shred of reverence and faith in the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Master would not be able to display his might.
After a long time, Li Qingshan opened his eyes and retracted his aura. The statue of a god dissipated, not knowing that he had also been labeled as the Enemy of Buddha. As a result, when he arrived at the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga on the Space-devouring beast and saw the Dauntless monk angrily berate the "enemy of the buddha", he rubbed his head in confusion.
"Monk, have you gone mad? 'Enemy of Buddha' is Little Ann, okay? When did I become the enemy of Buddha? Is it contagious? "
Li Qingshan even felt a little wronged. He had always respected Buddha, although he had killed monks and destroyed temples. Now, you want to destroy the world, but you can't slander me like this.
The alarms in the temple rang and all the monks looked miserable as if a great disaster was about to befall them. Based on past experience, nothing good would come from the arrival of this person.
The Dauntless monk did not want to say anything more. He only felt like his heart had died. "If you enter the temple, I'll throw my life at you!"
"Yo. Look at how ignorant you are. I won't listen to such words. Let's see what you have to fight me with! "
Li Qingshan had specially come to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, and that was with good intentions, yet he was actually turned away at the entrance. It was far too detestable. He crushed the entrance with a stomp and tried to force his way in.
"Traitorous disciple. Don't try to be unreasonable! "
The Unraging monk rushed over in a hurry, blocking in front of Li Qingshan.
"Master. I've already been expelled from the sect. I'm not even a layman disciple anymore. "
The Unraging monk sighed. He was haggard, and his colossal body had thinned slightly too.
Li Qingshan couldn't bear to see this, "Forget it, forget it. There's nothing much to see in this monk temple anyway. I'm here for something important."
"Let's go. I'll treat you to a drink. "
The Unraging monk grabbed his arm and took a step, arriving in a small town outside the mountain.
The sky was hazy, and it began to drizzle. The town was deathly silent.
Li Qingshan asked, "Little Ann?"
The Unraging monk shook his head. "The Hungry Ghost realm."
The tattered banner was soaked by the rain very soon. It hung down, and the two of them entered the small tavern that was filled with dust.
Li Qingshan lifted up his bowl, and the Unraging monk had already downed several bowls. He tasted it, but he discovered it was just water.
"Even without the Hungry Ghost realm, this tavern wouldn't be able to continue operating. This is no longer just adding alcohol to the water. It doesn't even taste like alcohol at all!"
"It's water in the first place. I've already given up on alcohol."
"Tsk, what're you acting like you're drinking water for?" Li Qingshan placed down his bowl and said sternly, "The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga can't remain in the Green province anymore."
"Foe, what do you want?"
Before the Unraging monk could say anything, the Dauntless monk's furious bellow rang out from outside, causing the entire room to fill with dust.
"If you call me the foe of buddha again, I'll really be the foe of buddha this time!"
Li Qingshan stood up suddenly. Actually, he did not find the title of "foe of buddha" to be anything special. It was just like how a cat was called a dog, or an ox was called a horse. He would never be happy.
"Senior brother, why do you say Qingshan is the foe of buddha?" The Unraging monk was very confused too.
"I personally saw the Great Freedom's avatar behind him!"
"The Great Freedom Demon Lord!"
The Unraging monk was stunned and in disbelief. The Demon Lord's Kṣitigarbha was different from gods and buddhas. Even those who worshipped the Great Freedom Demon Lord could not condense an avatar like that!
"What does Great Freedom have to do with me?"
Only then did Li Qingshan confirm the name of the avatar, but he did not revere it at all. It just happened to coincide with their paths, which triggered a celestial resonance. He had been labelled as the foe of buddha just like that. That was far too unfair. However, he had overlooked something. If he coincided with the Great Freedom Demon Lord's path, what else could he be other than the foe of buddha? Although he had become a monk halfway through, he was basically even more righteous than Little Ann.
The Dauntless monk pointed at Li Qingshan furiously. "That's right! It's exactly this attitude that shows no respect at all! He's clearly the foe of buddha!"
Li Qingshan was speechless. This was like someone who said they were not mentally ill, but they were definitely mentally ill. There was no way to discuss it.
"Whatever! If he's the foe of buddha, then so be it! I won't stoop to your level. The Green province is about to be finished. I'd advise you to move away. "
As if to prove his words, the ground shook again, and the water in the bowl rippled.
The Dauntless monk roared furiously, "It's you!"
Li Qingshan shrugged. "It's me."
"The destruction of the world, and the lives are plunged into misery and suffering. Do you know what kind of sin this is?!"
"This is war. It's always the innocent and weak who suffer first. However, I wasn't the one who started this war."
Li Qingshan remained calm. Since he had made up his mind, there was no need for him to pretend to be compassionate anymore. Entrusting the fate of his women and children to the benevolence of the enemy was not something a man should do. No matter how many innocents he slaughtered, no matter how many sins he shouldered, it would never change.
The Dauntless monk was rendered speechless from anger. The Unraging monk opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he ended up sighing.
Li Qingshan pointed at the bowl of water and said slowly, "The buddha believes that a bowl of water contains forty-eight thousand insects."
This line of poetry was about how there were countless insects that were difficult to see with the naked eye in the water. Even drinking the water carried the sin of killing, which required chanting scriptures to expiate.
"Are all life equal, or are they not?"
Li Qingshan seemed like he was asking a question, but he also seemed like he was muttering to himself. If they were equal, then killing insects was no different from killing people. They were born with a body of heinous sin. If they were not equal, then the difference between mortals and immortals and buddhas was probably even greater than the difference between insects and mortals. As a result, killing all life was as normal as drinking water.
The Dauntless monk and the Unraging monk both possessed great wisdom, so they immediately understood what he was trying to say. They looked at one another, and there was only one word in their eyes. "Enemies of the buddha!"
This was questioning the buddhist dharma from the very foundation, slandering the buddhist dharma.
Li Qingshan drank all the water in the bowl and smiled. "I'll call you master one more time. Our fate as master and disciple has come to an end."
