The huge sound of Buddhist chanting resounded throughout the square, and a golden "Buddha" mantra appeared above the light array and slowly rotated.
Shen Luo, Lu Huaming and Gu Hualing were repelled by an invisible force and retreated outside the light array.
The sound of the Buddhist chanting became louder and louder, and there was a solemn silence between heaven and earth. The golden Buddha character grew rapidly in size, and its rotation speed also began to increase. Under the sunlight, it became more and more dazzling and could not be looked at directly.
Maybe influenced by the Buddhist light array, Zener was covered with a layer of golden light, and a golden halo was faintly visible behind his head. He looked so solemn and dignified that people couldn't help but feel respect for him.
"Could it be that Chaner's appearance is..." Shen Luo saw this scene with a look of surprise on his face, and a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
The Buddhist mantras in the surrounding void grew several times larger and rolled toward Jiang Liu's body.
Jiang Liu's face showed pain and his angry roar was of no use.
As time passed, his manic emotions slowly subsided, and the blood-red color on his skin faded away, as if the evil thoughts in his body were purified.
After a moment, Jiang Liu completely recovered and the hostility on his face faded away, becoming calm.
"The magical power of Buddhism is indeed extraordinary. It can actually drive away evil!" Shen Luo said in his heart.
Seeing that the river flow returned to its original state, Zen Master Hai Shi and others stopped chanting. They all looked tired, as if chanting this Sutra of Subduing Demons was very exhausting.
But the sound of Sanskrit around him did not dissipate. Zener closed his eyes and was still chanting.
Not only that, the golden halo behind his head became brighter and brighter, emitting circles of golden light that spread out to the surroundings like water waves, and a rich sandalwood scent filled the air without anyone noticing.
Although there was no help from the golden light array, the Buddhist mantra in the void did not shrink, but instead grew a little bigger and continued to flow towards Jiang Liu's body, and Jiang Liu's body quickly became transparent.
"This...what's going on?" Everyone in Jinshan Temple was shocked.
Shen Luo and the other two were also surprised, the situation seemed to have changed again.
Jiang Liu did not resist anymore and looked at Chaner with a helpless look. A moment later, there was a light "puff" sound from his body and his whole body disappeared out of thin air, turning into a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads, emitting a faint golden glow.
The purple Buddhist beads moved slightly, flew out from the golden light column, and landed on Chaner's wrist.
The golden light on Zener's body suddenly shone brightly, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it. The solemn and reverent sound of Sanskrit chanting resounded through the void, and an incomparably powerful force surged out from it, driving all the people nearby to retreat.
A huge Buddha image with a kind face slowly emerged in the golden light, which made people feel awe and want to bow down to the ground.
"This is the Dharma image of the Golden Cicada! I understand now, Chaner is the true reincarnation of the Golden Cicada!" Zen Master Haishi exclaimed when he saw the shadow of the Buddha.
The monks nearby were all shocked when they heard this and looked at Zener in disbelief. It was quite hard to believe, but the scene before them made it impossible for them not to believe it.
"Zen'er is the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, then what is Jiang Liu?" Lu Huaming on the side widened his eyes and murmured.
"Jiang Liu is not a human, but a monster. It was the Buddhist beads that made him transform into a human form." Gu Hualing was not surprised at all, as if he had known about this situation for a long time.
