Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1276 You failed the open-book exam?
"geigei!"

The Tiger Subduing Arhat nearby pounced on him stupidly. The Dragon Subduing Arhat slapped the Tiger Subduing Arhat to the ground, then caught him and said with emotion: "Ah Hu, in order to help me, you turned into this. Good brother, I will not pay you back for your loyalty."

Arhat Subduing the Dragon thought about it and decided that the next step would be to become a monk again, because this was the beginning.

So he chose Guoqing Temple.

As he stepped into the gate of Guoqing Temple, Arhat Subduing the Dragon immediately felt a faint but extremely clear sense of blood connection.

He looked up at the ancient and solemn temple, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart, as if that was the home of his soul.

Suddenly, a crisp sound broke the silence, and then a wisp of white smoke emerged from the ground, accompanied by a faint scent of grass and wood.

A tall, thin and gaunt old man holding a peach wood stick slowly walked out of the smoke.

"Brother, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you for a long time."

There was a hint of excitement and relief in the old man's words. He took a step forward and held the wrist of Arhat the Dragon-Subduing, tightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear again.

Arhat Subduing the Dragon looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in a daze, his heart full of doubts.

"Brother, who are you?"

he asked tentatively.

"Haha, I am the God of Land here! When you reincarnated, your golden body was left here. I followed the order of the Jade Emperor and have been guarding it, waiting for your return."

There was a bit of pride and satisfaction in the smile of the God of Land, as if he had accomplished a difficult task.

Led by the God of Land, Arhat Subduing the Dragon walked through the bustling hall, bypassed the incense burner with bright incense, and came to the back hall.

It is relatively quiet here, with only the occasional sound of chanting, which makes people feel peaceful.

The God of Land used a trick, and the two of them instantly passed through the heavy wooden door and came to a secret room.

Inside the room, a soft beam of sunlight shines through the window into the center, where a golden corpse sits quietly. This is the golden body of Arhat Subduing the Dragon, and its physical relics have remained immortal after tens of millions of years.

The Arhat Subduing the Dragon stared at the golden body quietly, with indescribable emotions surging in his heart.

Suddenly, the golden body seemed to react. The sitting corpse slowly raised its head, opened its upper and lower jaws, and made a crackling sound, as if it was having some kind of mysterious communication with the Arhat Subduing the Dragon.

"Wonderful!"

A golden light suddenly burst out from the eyes of the Arhat Jianglong, which was the joy and excitement deep in his heart. He shook his head violently to get rid of the golden light in his eyes, but the joy could not be calmed for a long time.

With this golden body, he can not only keep his physical body indestructible, but also travel freely between the three realms.

The God of Land watched the changes in the Arhat Subduing the Dragon.

He wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile: "My friend, you have recovered some of your strength now. The rest of the journey depends on you. My mission is completed, and it's time for me to rest."

After saying this, he staggered on the spot, his figure gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and drilled into the ground.

The Arhat who subdues the dragon waved goodbye to the land god, his heart filled with gratitude. He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly found that his illusion had disappeared.

He was slightly stunned, then smiled with relief.

He walked to the center of the hall, looked at the solemn statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.

Abbot Fakong slowly emerged from a dark corner of the temple, with a trace of dust on his body. It was obvious that he had just returned from some unknown place of practice.

With a bit of surprise in his eyes, he looked at Li Xiuyuan who was standing in front of the hall and looking around, and asked in confusion: "Hey, aren't you Xiuyuan? Why did you come here suddenly without telling me in advance? When did you come?"

The Arhat Subduing the Dragon did not take it seriously. The deception of the God of Land was lifted, and it was normal for him to be seen. He completely ignored the fact that he was a deity who had descended to earth. How could he not have noticed that Abbot Fakong was right next to him?
You can’t even pass an open book exam???
It can only be said that the brain capacity of Arhat Subduing the Dragon is too great. After communicating with the golden body, he was completely unaware of the problem.

Li Xiuyuan, or rather, he who now calls himself the reincarnation of Arhat Subduing the Dragon, turned around upon hearing the voice, his face filled with an indescribable joy and confidence.

He walked forward quickly, rubbing his hands together rapidly, as if he wanted to put all his excitement into this simple action.

Putting his arm around Fakong's shoulders, he said in a familiar tone, "It turns out to be Abbot Fakong. That's great. I was just looking for you! I have a lot to tell you."

Fakong was a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm. His brows furrowed slightly, but then relaxed again. With a bit of curiosity and anticipation, he waited for Li Xiuyuan's next words.

"It's a long story, but I'll make it short."

Li Xiuyuan, the reincarnation of Arhat Jianglong, now calls himself Jianglong, and his eyes flash with a light that transcends the mundane world.

"The Li Xiuyuan you knew is no longer here. He is the reincarnation of Arhat Jianglong, that is, me. I am Jianglong. This time I came down to earth to do some important things that concern the common people. As for what they are, you don't need to ask too much. You will know when the time is right."

Upon hearing this, Abbot Fakong's eyes suddenly widened and his mouth slightly opened, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"what……"

He could only utter such a simple syllable, and seemed completely unable to accept this sudden news.

Seeing this, Arhat Jianglong couldn't help but grin. He pulled Fakong's slightly messy eyebrows and teased, "Looking at your appearance, you have ordinary talent and will definitely not achieve anything great in the future. However, considering that you have been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha for many years in Guoqing Temple, even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. I will give you some face and call you Master. How about it? Isn't it very considerate?"

He looked at the young man in front of him who called himself the Arhat Subduing the Dragon.

The young monks nearby looked at each other in bewilderment, some glared, some chuckled quietly, obviously finding it unbelievable that Jianglong was talking so crazy.

"Abbot, he is a lunatic. Don't pay any attention to him. Just drive him out."

A young monk couldn't help but speak, with a bit of disdain and anger in his tone.

However, Abbot Fakong shook his head. He looked at the Arhat Subduing the Dragon carefully, and a hint of imperceptible admiration flashed in his eyes.

"I think he speaks clearly and doesn't seem like a madman."

He said slowly, "Besides, I have admired him since he was very young. Although he looks a little strange now, I believe he must have his reasons."

After saying this, Abbot Fakong smiled at the young monks and ordered, "Go and get a monk's robe."
