The next morning.

Above the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Heng directly announced a new government order.

Destroy the Buddha!

From now on, Datang will no longer allow the existence of Fo Xiao!

At the same time, all monks and nuns in the country were ordered to return to secular life, all monastery properties were confiscated, Buddhist scriptures were confiscated, and Buddha statues were smelted.

Violators will be punished as treason!

This decree completely cut off the survival soil of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

This cut off the way Buddhism spread in the Tang Dynasty from the root.

Even if it is on the border of the Tang Dynasty, the common people should think clearly before coming into contact with foreign monks teaching the Dharma, whether it is illegal or not.

No matter how much Buddhism stirs the wind and rain around the Great Tang, and how it tries to introduce Buddhism to the Great Tang, it will no longer be of any use.

Now Li Heng has a very high prestige in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and almost all the people respect Li Heng extremely.

In addition to the previous rounds of attacks, the Buddhist power in the Tang Dynasty has become very weak, and it is difficult to have any ability to resist in the face of the imperial court's suppression.

Therefore, this decree was issued without any obstacles, and no chaos broke out.

Orderly implementation has begun across the country.

……

The long-browed arhat now hides his long eyebrows and takes on the appearance of an ordinary wandering monk.

Half a month ago, he received a notification from Zhu Wuneng. This notification was actually a remote secret method that could activate a seal left by Venerable Kasyapa in his body.

He needs to find a suitable place to release this seal.

In this way, the bottom of the Huai River can be shaken to take out the decayed seal, and the big monster inside will be released.

But in the past half month, not only did Long-browed Arhat fail to find the specific location where the great monster was sealed, but he also fell into an almost endless pursuit.

At the same time, Te also got a piece of news.

That Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually issued an edict to exterminate Buddha!

This made the long-browed Arhat furious, wishing to rush directly to Chang'an City to transform this "faint lord".

But his rationality told him that with his mere 70-year mana power, it was absolutely impossible to beat the contemporary holy emperor who was able to kill Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with a sword and beat Venerable Ananda to fall.

However, those who hunted him down did not have any strong presence, and with his mana cultivation, there was no problem in escaping.

It's just that it's a bit difficult to find the specific place where King Dayu sealed the demon while running.

At this time, the long-browed Arhat was standing outside a Buddhist temple. He wore a wig and mixed in with the crowd. Watching the Buddhist temple in front of him being demolished, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

The name of the temple is "Arhat Temple".

The eighteen arhats are enshrined here, and his long-browed arhat is also among them.

Long-browed Arhat even watched his own golden statue being lifted out of it and loaded on a carriage. It is said that it was taken away to smelt iron and copper.

Such a scene made the Long-browed Arhat furious.

So, he secretly followed those who carried away his golden statue to the destination, and cast a spell without anyone noticing, annihilated the vitality of these people, and killed them all!

However, after killing him, Long-browed Arhat realized that something was wrong.

"Not good!" He had a warning sign in his heart.

These few people who were killed by him, after dying and losing their vitality, did not become corpses, but their bodies gradually became thinner, and finally turned into paper figurines!

It's bait!

Long-browed Arhat immediately understood everything.

No wonder Buddhist temples and statues are being demolished everywhere!

Extinguishing Buddha is only superficial!

The real purpose of that contemporary holy emperor is to take advantage of this opportunity to find himself out!

"What a vicious and stupid king!"

The long-browed Arhat cursed secretly in his heart, and wanted to get out of here and run away.

But before he had gone far, a ray of sword light flew from the sky, piercing through his chest at an extremely fast speed, and the golden Buddha's blood immediately sprinkled into the night sky.

However, the long-browed Arhat has a strong golden body and is good at escaping.

So, without hesitation, he directly used his long eyebrows to weave a high wall on the spot to resist the enemy, and at the same time, he turned into a light and flew desperately in the direction of Huaishui.

Although the sword light was blocked by the high wall of Changmei, after the sword light, this ball of flames fell on Changmei, instantly igniting the high wall.

"Want to run?!"

A figure flew from the sky. It was a young man with red lips and white teeth. He was holding a demon-slaying sword and riding a hot wheel. It was Nezha, the prominent general of Wei Ling who had joined the Zhenma Division.

After seeing the direction of the long-browed Arhat's escape light, he immediately chased after him.

"Nezha, it's actually Nezha, why is he here?!"

Long-browed Arhat, who had fled into the Huai River, was filled with disbelief, "Could it be that Heaven has colluded with this contemporary Holy Emperor to such an extent?"

Nezha is a well-known general in the Heavenly Court, but at this time he is working for the Zhenmagic Division of Datang.

This had to make him wonder how close the relationship between Heavenly Court and this contemporary Holy Emperor was.

"What should I do? Although this Nezha is limited by his lotus body and has not gained any mana for thousands of years, he is very good at fighting. I am no match for him at all!" Long-browed Arhat panicked.

boom!

At this moment, the long-browed Arhat who was fleeing in a hurry suddenly bumped into a hard object, which immediately stopped his escape process.

"what?!"

The long-browed arhat was furious, and was about to smash the obstacle that blocked his way.

But when he took a closer look, he found that it was actually a huge iron lock with a length and width of more than a hundred feet, which sank at the bottom of the Huai River.

The shape of this iron lock is very old, and an ancient human language is engraved on it.
