#1713 - All appearances are not appearances, there is Buddha in the heart, and the demon is also Bud
As expected, Sun Wukong's strike turned the Arhat into a pile of blood and flesh, revealing its true form as a common little demon.
Sun Wukong sneered,
“Sitting on lotus thrones, Buddhas are all false; wielding an iron staff, golden eyes reveal the truth! Maitreya Buddha, do you still dare to pretend?
Don't wait for this old Sun to turn you into mincemeat; reveal your true form now!”
Sun Wukong roared fiercely, his murderous aura filling the entire Great Thunderclap Temple with boundless violence.
Logically, after being exposed by Sun Wukong's rampage, an ordinary demon's lair should immediately reveal its true form and attack.
After all, if the disguise is exposed, how can they continue to pretend?
However, things were not so simple at this moment.
The other Arhats and Bodhisattvas in the hall seemed indifferent to the scene.
On the contrary, in the hall, the five hundred Arhats, three thousand Jiedi, four Vajras, eight Bodhisattvas, Bhikkhunis, Upasakas... all chanted scriptures at the sight of the little demon's tragic death, their voices full of compassion.
A mysterious Sanskrit sound that calmed the mind echoed throughout the Lesser Thunderclap Temple.
If this were in the Western Paradise, it would be normal; that group of Bodhisattvas and Arhats are best at saving their own people.
However, only those who know the truth know how bizarre it is.
In Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes, he could clearly see that the so-called five hundred Arhats, three thousand Jiedi, four Vajras... were all hideous demons eager to devour people.
However, these demons were all chanting Buddhist scriptures, and each of them was so pious and serious, just like real Buddhas and Arhats.
Maitreya Buddha still sat on the lotus throne, his voice filled with a hint of incomprehension and pity, saying:
“Sun Wukong, why kill? Have you not heard that plants and trees have feelings, and demons have love? You yourself were once a great demon; why must demons make things difficult for demons?”
Sun Wukong gnashed his teeth, so angry that his fur stood on end,
“You damned monster, stop pretending to be compassionate! Who do you think you are, a Buddha?!
This old Sun hates nothing more than pretenders and bastards who deceive me! After I kill all these beasts, it will be your turn!”
Tang Sanzang also put his hands together, and said calmly:
“All forms are illusory. If you see all forms as non-forms, you will see the Tathagata. The Buddha is in this poor monk's heart; how can you deceive me by falsely creating this Lesser Thunderclap Temple and pretending to be Buddhas on the platform and Arhats in the hall?
Petty tricks before a master! Disciples, prepare to capture the demons!”
Tang Sanzang took off his kasaya, and his aura suddenly soared. His breath was like thunderclouds, and bursts of strong wind exploded around him. A body cultivator's strength is terrifying!
Tang Sanzang had never relaxed his strict training during this period. Although he was not strong enough to fight against the gods and Buddhas, it was not a problem for him to fight these little demons.
In particular, Tang Sanzang had cultivated the Great Might Heavenly Dragon and other killing moves that Chu Hao had taught him to perfection, waiting for a hearty bloodbath to strengthen himself!
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also took out their weapons.
Zhu Bajie secretly prepared to unleash his Gluttonous Bloodline. Once the fight started, these would all be great tonics.
One bite would save him from struggling for an epoch.
Only Sha Wujing's expression was somewhat unnatural. He seemed to have noticed something.
Sha Wujing silently picked up his Crescent Moon Shovel and stood beside Tang Sanzang, seemingly guarding, but also seeming to prevent Tang Sanzang from charging first.
However, facing the fighting spirit of Tang Sanzang and his disciples, all the Buddhas and Arhats in the Lesser Thunderclap Temple did not answer.
Only Maitreya Buddha on the lotus throne shook his head with a smile,
“Since you know that all forms are illusory, why do you insist that they reveal their true forms? If there is a Buddha in your heart, then a demon is also a Buddha.
As soon as Maitreya Buddha finished speaking, the five hundred Arhats, three thousand Jiedi, four Vajras, eight Bodhisattvas, Bhikkhunis... all respectfully lowered their heads.
When they raised their heads again, they had all revealed their true forms!
At this moment, in the Lesser Thunderclap Temple, those sitting on the Buddha thrones were all hideous demons!
Yet, in the hall, the Sanskrit sounds still rolled, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere, forming a very strong contrast with the many hideous faces, making people's scalps tingle!
