The temple originally had three heads representing Beast, Artifact, and Demon, but now a ferocious Arhat head has grown as well.
The Arhat head has a green face with sharp fangs, and its wide-open mouth spits out a blood-red tongue.
The tongue bears two engraved lines:
"Body and mind, six roots purified; delusions and ignorance swept away."
The halo at the back of the temple turns into two layers—the inner part formed by ephemeral light, with the dazzling Buddha Power constituting the core halo, which is much larger.
Li Mo's lips twitched.
He could hear a constant, ethereal chant emanating from the temple's mouth, containing seemingly simplified and profound truths, but in actuality, nothing but ramblings.
If the Arhat head was used to establish an alternate identity to spread a title, long-term worship by the believers would allow them to comprehend scriptures through the chant.
