However, when they looked at the Acala( Fudō Myō-ō)Buddha Statue and felt the majesty that emanated from Su Jing, they stopped short, afraid to get too close.

“My God, this Buddha Statue looks like a real Buddha.”

“Could it be that a Bodhisattva has appeared?”

“Why do I feel Su Jing is also like a Bodhisattva? And why is he here?”

“I suddenly remembered the Prajñā Meditation Sutra, which seemed to come out of nowhere.
Many people speculated that it may have been created by Su Jing.
Now it seems very likely and you can even see the Buddha’s light on Su Jing.”

Plop, plop, plop…

Many tourists knelt down one after another and paid homage to the temple.
The monks who came over also couldn’t help but kneel down.
Even the monks in the temple do not have a lot of comprehension of the Buddist teachings, and it is at this moment that they sense what “Buddha” is for the first time. 

Whether they had just arrived and wanted to enter the temple or those who had entered the temple and prepared incense, they were all attracted by Su Jing and Acala (Fudō Myō-ō), and they gathered around and knelt around him in a circle.
The scene was huge.

“This is not good, Abbot, this is not good.” A monk ran into the precepts hall.
In the precepts hall, in addition to the Abbot, there are also Grandmaster Shengyan and several other eminent monks, with Xiao Zhi kneeling below.

“Xiaohui, why are you panicking?” The Abbot asked.

“Su Jing came and sat at the door, and all the tourists were drawn to him.” Monk Xiaohui said.
The Abbot was stunned, Grandmaster Shengyan’s eyes lit up slightly, and Xiao Zhi, who was hanging his head, suddenly raised it.

“Why are tourists attracted to him?” The Abbot asked in confusion.

“Because he brought an Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Buddha Statue, and he seemed to be radiating Buddha light.”

The abbot, Grandmaster Shengyan, and the others looked at each other in surprise.
Then they got up together and walked quickly to the door.
Xiao Zhi, Xiao Hui, and the others followed them.
Zhou Hongyuan and the others in other parts of the temple heard the news one after another and also ran out.

When they saw the Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Buddha Statue at the entrance, and Su Jing, who was chanting as if emitting Buddha’s light, they froze in their steps, and only after a while did the Abbot fold his hands and said: “Amitabha Buddha.”

If it wasn’t for his high Spiritual Force, the Abbot, Grandmaster Shengyan, and the others might not be able to stop screaming.
The more they understood The Buddha, the more shocked they were at this moment. 

Whether it is Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) or Su Jing, they have all achieved their dream of “Entering Meditation and becoming a Buddha”. 

This kind of artistic conception only existed in the legends and they have never thought that one day they would see it with their own eyes, and they never thought that it would appear on a young man of 23 or 24 who did not shave his hair to become a monk.

The Abbot and the others pushed their way through the crowd and went to the front.
The Abbot said respectfully, “Mr.
Su, would you please come in and talk to us?”

“Mr.
Su? I thought you would call me a benefactor.” Su Jing opened his eyes as he spoke.

“Mr.
Su has reached a level beyond our reach in Buddhism, but you do not look like a Buddhist in appearance, words, and deeds.
I think Mr.
Su is not used to being called a benefactor while Buddha is in his heart, not in his appearance.
So I’ll just call you Mr.
Su.” The Abbot smiled as he spoke. 

His appearance is calm, but he can’t help but want to fall to his knees as he looks at the Su Jing and Acala(Fudō Myō-ō)Buddha statues right in front of him.

Su Jing glanced at Xiao Zhi and said, “I heard that the Abbot is in the precepts hall and is going to punish Xiao Zhi.
At such an important time, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for me to go in and disturb you.
I’ll just sit here, you don’t need to pay any attention to me.”

Grandmaster Shengyan and Zhou Hongyuan couldn’t help laughing while others have nothing to say. 

If they don’t greet you and let you sit outside, will the Buddhist monastery temple still be open tomorrow? Everyone understood what Su Jing meant, he was obviously here to support Xiao Zhi.

…

The Abbot and the others kindly invited Su Jing again and he finally followed them into the Buddhist Monastery Temple.
The Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Buddha Statue was carefully put on the cart by the monks and pushed inside carefully. 

They were a little faster than snails as they feared breaking the Buddha Statue with their carelessness.
The tourists outside and inside the temple were reluctant to leave and went in together.

After entering a Buddhist hall, the tourists were blocked from the outside.
Abbot Xu Yun asked knowingly, “Mr.
Su, can you tell me why you came to our small temple and were still sitting at the door?”

“For justice.” Su Jing said indifferently.

“Hehe, what justice?” Abbot Xu Yun smiled.

“Monk Xiao Zhi challenged Taekwondo and karate Dojos for the sake of promoting Chinese Martial Arts and for our honor.
This is a good thing.
Even if you convert to Buddhism, you are still Chinese.
You need a country to have a home, you need your country to have this Buddhist Monastery Temple.
Therefore, fighting for the glory of the country is completely honorable so why should he be punished?” Su Jing said.

“Mr.
Su is right, but what makes you have the illusion that we don’t allow Xiao Zhi to compete?” Abbot Xu Yun smiled and said, “Firstly, we are very concerned about the promotion of Chinese Martial Arts and we fully support it but nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards, we have Precepts.
Xiao Zhi should apply for approval first, instead of asserting himself without authorization; Secondly, this is a matter of our Buddhist Monastery Temple, and it is not good for Mr.
Su to intervene now is it?”

Su Jing was silent for a moment, thinking that this Abbot Xu Yun really hits the nail on the head.
With such a methodical theory, it looked like Su Jing was making trouble out of nowhere. 

He could not easily say that Xiao Zhi is his apprentice, after all, he said he would not accept apprentices. 

 

“Mr.
Su, let’s sit down and discuss the Dharma.
If you can convince me then it would mean that Xiao Zhi has followed a Buddhist Great Master who is more intelligent than me and is one step closer to the Buddha and I would have no reason to punish him.”  Abbot Xu Yun smiled as he spoke.

Grandmaster Shengyan and several other eminent monks were surprised to hear the words of Abbot Xu Yun.
However, they were soon relieved.
In fact, they were hesitating about whether they should punish Xiao Zhi. 

Su Jing intervened, which made them a little dissatisfied, but considering that Su Jing had given them the Prajñā Meditation Sutra, and the Buddha-Nature that Su Jing showed just now while meditating at the door was enough for them to give him special treatment.

“How dare I discuss the Dharma with Abbot Xu Yun, Wouldn’t I look like a fool? Besides, it seems to me that there is a lot to be said about it.
Why don’t we have a meditation contest and see who can sit longer and listen to who wins?” Su Jing smiled.

Hearing this, Grandmaster Shengyan, Zhou Hongyuan, Xiao Zhi, Xiaohui, and the others were all stunned. 

Su Jing actually wants to sit in meditation compared to Abbot Xu Yun, who can sit longer than him, he is the Abbot, and he spends most of his time sitting in Meditation, isn’t this too much? This is Xuyun Abbot, who can turn into a stone when he sits, and stay motionless all day long.

“Hehe, interesting, then let’s do as you say.” Abbot Xu Yun agreed happily and pointed to the futon in front.
Su Jing walked over and sat down facing Abbot Xu Yun.
The two of them sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and then remained motionless.

The others waited, they didn’t expect that Su Jing and the Abbot would start talking about sitting in meditation, and for a while, everyone didn’t dare to speak up. 

Some young monks couldn’t help but mutter in their hearts, they are really sitting in meditation, how long would this sit last?

The tourists who were blocked at the door heard the words inside, and they were shocked when they saw the situation inside.

“What’s the matter, why did they suddenly sit down and stop talking?”

“I heard that Abbot Xu Yun wanted to punish Xiao Zhi, but Su Jing disagreed, and then the two started a meditation competition.”

“What Competition?”

“They would see who sits longer.”

“What the hell, what a boring game.”

“Does Su Jing have a chance of winning? Although Su Jing seems to understand Buddhism very well, his opponent is the Abbot.”

“I suddenly remembered that in Journey to the West, didn’t Monk Tang also compete with a sheep in Zen meditation, and it turned out to be Sun Wukong and some other monster and they competed while using their supernatural power, will Su Jing secretly do some tricks, such as putting some little bug and let them bite Abbot Xu Yun?”

“My God, your idea is so evil, but I like it.”

There was a lot of chatter outside, and there was gradually a commotion inside, because Xiao Zhi, Xiaohui, Zhou Hongyuan, and others were not very advanced in their studies, and they couldn’t hold back. 

It was very difficult to stay completely still.
Grandmaster Shengyan and several people even prepared to lead everyone to retire.
It seems that Su Jing’s studies in Buddism are not shallow, and he can’t tell the difference between him and Abbot for a while, so there is no need for everyone to stay here.

At this moment, several people who looked at Su Jing and Abbot Xu Yun cried with a surprised expressions on their faces and rubbed their eyes vigorously. 

Grandmaster Shengyan and several eminent monks looked over and stood up suddenly with a shocked expressions on their faces.
More and more people noticed the abnormality and were dumbfounded.

Because they seem to have seen the illusion that Su Jing had turned into a stone without them knowing about it and that illusion got stronger and stronger. 

After taking a closer look, they could see that it was Su Jing.
Abbot Xu Yun was just as quiet as a stone, but Su Jing seemed to be turning into a stone.

“How is it possible?” Grandmaster Shengyan and the others were shocked and couldn’t believe it, it was even more incredible than entering meditation and becoming a Buddha.

“Huh?” Abbot Xu Yun also suddenly opened his eyes.
Naturally, he didn’t sit still so quickly, but felt an abnormality and was shocked.
In order to verify his conjecture, he was willing to give up the game. 

The moment he opened his eyes, he felt that it was worth it.
He stared at Su Jing for a long time, and suddenly put his hands together and said: “Amitabha, I have lost.”

“What’s the matter, why did the Abbot suddenly admit defeat.”

“I almost saw Su Jing turn into a stone just now, am I hallucinating?”

The monks who are not high in cultivation and the tourists outside the door are all unclear.
They thought that this Zen meditation competition would last for a long time, and many of them couldn’t bear it anymore and left first. 

They didn’t expect that Abbot Xu Yun would suddenly admit defeat, and the competition ended so inexplicably.

“Abbot Xu Yun, the game has only just started, why did you admit defeat?” Su Jing opened his eyes and smiled as he spoke.

“If we go on, I’ll definitely lose.
I know that you would be able to sit for at least three days and three nights.” Abbot Xu Yun looked at Su Jing, unable to hide his reverence, and asked, “Mr.
Su, can you tell me what exactly is it?”

“I have learned a lot about Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.” Su Jing said some preprogrammed words.
He couldn’t say that he practiced The Way of Silence, which was passed down from Xieyue’s Three Star Cavern Ancestor Subhuti. 

Sitting for three days and three nights? I’m sorry, that’s just trivial for me, I can sit for seven days and seven nights.

Recently, of course, he has not neglected The Way of Silence, and he has become more and more sophisticated in its use.
This is the biggest trump card for cultivating the spirit and soul and even the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture is not comparable to it. 

And Su Jing feels that the more he integrates into The Way of Silence, the more he can comprehend the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture.
It is precisely because of this that he has made some progress in it. 

Su Jing has begun to understand the true meaning of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture.
When he meditated at the door just now, he felt like a Bodhisattva, which is a natural Buddhist Artistic Conception.

Moreover, when meditating on the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, Su Jing clearly felt that the growth of his Divine Soul had begun to accelerate. 

With the same spiritual force, the power he could put out had suddenly grown by a lot.
Su Jing had also started to get his bearings in the Dragon-Elephant Law Seal.
