To Xiao Hua's surprise, this time things were no longer as straightforward as before. Only after a short while did four streaks of golden light descend. Aside from the cassock, the Nine-Ringed Vajra Staff, and the little golden bell, which glimmered with faint Buddhist light, a golden lü appeared before Xiao Hua as well! It seemed this Buddha Lord was even stingier than Xiao Hua.
"Many thanks, Buddha Lord!" Xiao Hua was overjoyed. His little greedy scheme had finally been satisfied by the Buddha Lord. He hurriedly waved his hand, putting away those Buddhist artifacts, along with the golden lü he had not had time to inspect and the Buddha Sarira projection. Then he pulled Jiang Liuer out of his space, bowed, and said, "This is a Buddhist child fated with our Buddha. I ask the Buddha Lord to be merciful and awaken him!"
Yet the moment Jiang Liuer appeared, a tremendous dong— of a bell rang out from beyond Tushita Heaven, as though Mount Sumeru itself had erupted into motion. Not only did all of Tushita Heaven tremble, even Mount Sumeru swayed slightly! Then an intense golden light shone from the mirror behind the Buddha statue's head, enveloping both Xiao Hua and Jiang Liuer.
That golden light trembled violently, as though the Buddha Lord had been enraged by Xiao Hua's insatiable greed!
Then a faint pulling force arose from within the golden light, and Xiao Hua and Jiang Liuer's figures slowly entered the mirror surface!
"Right—" Only then did Xiao Hua suddenly realize. "Jiang Liuer cultivates the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, not the Baye Linglong Scripture. The Buddha Lord corresponding to him probably isn't this one, is it? That bell ringing... should be sending Jiang Liuer before another Buddha Lord, shouldn't it?"
Thinking this, Xiao Hua did not resist
