#1386 - You are committing a crime by rebelling against your superiors, do you know that?
However, at this moment, the Arhats became even more aggressive, their golden bodies emitting endless light, and they roared:
"Why aren't you prostrating before us!"
With a roar, ripples seemed to spread through the air.
Even the birds flying in the sky fell down one after another, lining up and kneeling respectfully.
The three national teachers also felt a powerful pressure, and even slowly lowered their heads, their knees weakening, almost touching the ground!
Even though the king had the support of the people, the Arhat was too powerful, and no mortal could resist him.
The king's legs immediately gave way, and he slowly knelt down.
However, at this moment, a clear and cold voice rang out,
"Presumptuous! You are the ones who should be kneeling!"
This voice was as light as the wind, yet full of imposing manner!
Upon hearing this, the king and the three national teachers suddenly felt their bodies lighten, and all the pressure they had felt earlier disappeared, as if they were bathed in a spring breeze!
Their backs no longer ached, and their legs no longer felt sore!
The king and the three national teachers stood up straight, feeling extremely relaxed.
However, looking at the opposite side,
the five Arhats suspended in the air suddenly fell from the sky!
Their knees hit the ground!
The five Arhats knelt respectfully in a row, their faces filled with fear and nervousness.
With the five Arhats kneeling, the many arrogant monks and the village elders who had come to make trouble also knelt down respectfully, prostrating themselves on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
The five Arhats looked at Chu Hao, the immense pressure they had felt earlier emanating from him!
At this moment, Chu Hao looked at them indifferently,
"Releasing your pressure in front of this Emperor, and even asking me to kneel, you are committing insubordination, do you know that you are committing a crime?"
The five Arhats were terrified. It was over, Chu Hao had caught them red-handed!
They were so focused on showing off just now that they had accidentally enveloped Chu Hao with their aura.
Now, who could protect them?
The arrogance of the five Arhats vanished, their faces filled with fear, and they kowtowed repeatedly,
"Emperor, spare us! We are only acting under orders!"
"We really didn't intentionally target you, please, Emperor, prioritize the big picture and don't act recklessly!"
"The Bodhisattva is watching from above, please, Emperor, for the sake of the Bodhisattva, don't disrupt this Journey to the West..."
The king didn't know what was going on. He couldn't hear the voices of the Arhats either.
He only saw that the arrogant Arhats from before had completely changed their attitude, kowtowing repeatedly and expressing endless misery.
Only then did the king carefully examine Chu Hao, who looked so handsome that he didn't seem like a mortal. What kind of existence was this?
The king vaguely felt that everyone seemed to be led by Chu Hao, but he didn't think too much about it.
Now that he saw even these powerful Arhats kneeling on the ground, expressing endless humility, the king understood that this white-robed immortal was definitely not an ordinary immortal.
At least, he was a strong person who could contend with the Arhats!
He was the one who could save the Chechi Kingdom!
Not to mention kneeling, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
All he hoped was that the Chechi Kingdom would not be controlled by the Western Paradise!
The people of Chechi Kingdom must be free, free to believe in any religion, but only allow them to decide for themselves!
"No need for such a grand ceremony, I will naturally help you," Chu Hao's voice was very kind.
The King of Chechi Kingdom felt as if there was a wall of air in front of his knees, and even if he tried his best to kneel down, he couldn't.
The king was moved to tears, and bowed deeply to Chu Hao, expressing his highest respect,
"Thank you, Immortal, for saving our country."
Chu Hao looked at the Arhats indifferently, and said with a look of disdain:
"That Guanyin is really shameless, even doing things like directly forcing the palace? That won't do. The power of gods and Buddhas should not interfere in human affairs. This is your Western Paradise's ancestral teaching."
The Arhats looked at each other in dismay.
"Is there such an ancestral teaching?"
Chu Hao sneered,
"There is now."
The Arhats and monks were stunned.
Are you taking advantage of us?!
Thinking that the other side was Chu Hao, forget it, let him go, and let themselves go.
The three national teachers glanced at Chu Hao, and after receiving Chu Hao's approval, they stood up.
Tiger Strength Great Immortal angrily pointed at the monks and village elders,
"You monks, why do you still have the face to talk about Chechi Kingdom respecting Taoism and destroying Buddhism? When we asked for rain in those years, your monks never managed to get a single drop; fortunately, we asked for rain, and only then did we save the people from misery.
Today, you dare to bring people to force the palace, it is really shameless! Since you are all pleading for the people, dare to gamble with us and pray for rain?
If we can pray for a rain, and help the people, we will voluntarily withdraw from Chechi Kingdom! If we lose the bet, and there is no rain, we will send you to the execution ground to be publicly executed."
When Tiger Strength Great Immortal said this, he was extremely unbelievable in his heart.
Because they were only a few Heavenly Immortals, and their strength was worlds apart from these Arhats.
Not to mention, these monks were completely inhuman, and who knew if the Western Paradise behind them would help...
There would definitely be help from the Western Paradise!
At that time, they could just call the Wind Woman and Lightning Mother, and wouldn't it be easy to make it rain?
If it was only up to Tiger Strength Great Immortal and the three of them, they would never dare to gamble with them,
But now, they had Chu Hao behind them.
They had to be arrogant!
The three great immortals straightened their chests and looked at the Arhats with a provocative look,
"Will you gamble or not?"
The Arhats were stunned for a moment, thinking they had misheard.
A few mere little demons dared to gamble with them?
And they were gambling on praying for rain?
Did they really think that the failure to pray for rain in the past twenty years was a matter of strength?
The Western He Continent was the territory of the Western Paradise, and it was just a matter of a word to make it rain and wind!
Moreover, the many rain gods in the Heavenly Court were of humble status, and under the orders of the Western Paradise, they would definitely not comply!
On the contrary, what means could the three demon immortals have to pray for rain?
Even if they did, with the Peacock King and Guanyin Bodhisattva secretly watching, they would definitely not be able to bring down a single drop of water!
"Okay! Let's bet on praying for rain. If we win, Chechi Kingdom must establish a state religion!"
The leading Arhat said firmly.
After speaking, he secretly glanced at Chu Hao,
Whether it could be carried out in the end still depended on Chu Hao's meaning.
Not only the Arhats,
the king, the three national teachers, Tang Sanzang and his disciples... all looked at Chu Hao expectantly.
Can't you arrange things yourself? You have to ask me... Chu Hao was full of black lines: "Gamble, gamble, gamble, gamble as you like!"
With Chu Hao's endorsement, everyone's spirits were lifted at once.
They were bound to win!
That's what everyone thought in their hearts.
