Chapter 33 - Benefiting Everyone
Chapter 33 Benefiting Everyone
After Forest River City, Li Xuanxin no longer appeared in front of everyone.
He did not like to be tainted by the mortal world. He only wanted to increase his cultivation.
However, the legends about the Sacred Monk did not stop. Instead, there were more and more.
In a year, it was spread by the people of West Shu.
At the Evil Phoenix Slope of West Shu, the Tathagata Divine Palm destroyed the mountain chicken demons and saved the people.
In the Lingyun Valley, Buddhist lights appeared. The river-level Thousand-legged Centipede turned into thick water and could no longer hurt anyone.
The ten feet Buddha held the huge ship in his hand on the Broken Soul River. He saved more than 400 people and suppressed the thousand-year-old turtle!
The more Li Xuanxin did good deeds, the more people praised him.
In just a short year, the people of West Shu had already praised him as the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva who saved the world!
In the land of West Shu, the feelings of Buddhism became stronger and stronger. Many temples were built to offer incense. The monks ate in West Shu for almost no cost.
The Little Maitreya Sect and other Buddhist sects received even more disciples and expanded greatly.
In a year, Li Xuanxin had accumulated a lot of merit and had already raised the Tathagata Divine Palm to the 81st level.
It couldn’t be helped. Ever since he had killed the Ghost Domain’s Sacred Envoy, Old Devil Black Mountain, and the Three Deities Sect’s Flower Rain Altar, the demons of the Shu State’s East County seemed to have been alerted and had begun to guard against him.
Therefore, it was very difficult for him to encounter powerful and numerous demon factions again. He could only accumulate merit bit by bit.
Li Xuanxin’s cultivation had long increased to three thousand years, but unfortunately, he could not find the opportunity to break through.
Breaking through each realm required an extremely great opportunity and comprehension. The further one went, the higher the requirements.
When he was at the River Realm, Li Xuanxin successfully broke through in two hours.
It took Li Xuanxin seven days and seven nights to reach the Mountain Sea Realm!
He had comprehended enough in the Firmament Realm, but he was still lacking some opportunities.
However, Li Xuanxin was not in a hurry.
The Buddhist Sect paid attention to the word ‘fate’. Before fate arrived, there was no need to force it. When fate arrived, everything would naturally happen.
Outside the Red Maple City of the West Shu East County, two figures walked on the forest
path.
One of them looked to be in his forties or fifties. He wore a silk robe and a scholar’s square hat.
The other person wore a red kasaya and had a string of jade beads around his neck.
At first glance, he seemed to be a scholar and a Buddhist monk. He was ordinary.
However, the jade pearl on the monk’s neck was made of a strange material. It looked like a human bone. The shape carved on the pearl was a sinister skull.
“In just a short year and a half, the Three Realms suffered heavy losses. More than a hundred demons and Ghost Generals above the River Realm were killed.
Countless demons and ghosts below the River Realm were lost.
At this rate, when the seal of the Black Water River broke, the forces of the Three Realms of West Shu would already be exhausted.
“The three commanders of the Demon, Devil, and Ghost Race, will probably not forgive the two of us easily.”
“Isn’t this something your Buddhist Sect did? We still haven’t found that peerless monk.”
“Hehehe.. Lord Governor, that’s not fair. Although I’m from the Buddhist Sect, I’m from the Devil Buddha lineage. I’m from the Devil World’s Buddhist Sect, which is different from the orthodox Buddhist Sect in the mortal world. The Buddhist Sect in the mortal world does good and accumulate merit. We like to kill and do evil.”
“We don’t do what the Buddhist Sect in the mortal world does. What the Buddhist Sect in the mortal world doesn’t do, we insist on doing.”
“You’re all bald monks!”
The Devil Buddha spread his hands, “Alright, I can’t refute that.”
After a pause, he spoke again.
“However, the two of us have to be careful. The thousand years are coming. We have to hold back some of our strength. Otherwise, we won’t be able to answer to the three generals.”
“I know. I’ve already stopped the human sects from besieging the demons. The remaining demons have already begun to hide and try their best to avoid that Buddhist monk. In another year or so, the seal of the Black Water River will open and the three generals will return to the mortal world. We won’t have to be afraid of that so-called Buddhist monk anymore.”
“The seal has been removed. There’s still a year and a half. I have to go to the Shaolin Temple. The Buddhist Discussion has already begun. The Shaolin Temple is the first stop. I want to stop him there and devour him to completely complete my Devil Buddha Golden Body!”
“I’ll leave the entire West Shu to you.”
“Don’t die.”
“Hahaha.. If I die, Lord Governor will be the general who controls the forces of the Three Realms alone! Isn’t this what Lord Governor wants? I’ll go.”
After the Devil Buddha left, a strange expression flashed across the County Governor’s eyes.
“All bald monks in the world are equally annoying. The righteous path in the mortal world is like this, and so is the demonic
path.”
Shaking his head, he sighed helplessly.
“Forget it, I should find that bald monk first. I can’t let him continue being arrogant.”
In a small town a hundred miles away, Li Xuanxin came with a staff. He was dressed in white and was untainted by dust. He was so pure that no one dared to profane him. “In a year, more than half of the demons in West Shu’s East County have been expiated by me. In a few days, I can go to the Chu State’s Shaolin Temple and bury Senior Xing Yun. I can also return to Spirit Platform Temple to see Master and the others.”
He came to the human town again. This time, Li Xuanxin felt different.
On the streets, there were many more monks than a year ago.
They wore monk robes and had shaved their heads.
However, Li Xuanxin’s eyes were sharp. He could tell at a glance that not all these monks were sincere towards Buddha. Many of them were only shaving their heads and did not even have any scars.
There were even some bald people who actually drank and ate meat on the streets. It was really indecent.
Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows slightly and sat in the tea house for a while.
“Waiter, get me a pot of water.” “Alright, I’m coming. I’ll get a pot of fresh water for you. Enjoy.”
The waiter brought over a pot of cold water. Li Xuanxin took out eight copper coins.
The waiter immediately smiled.
“Our shop has rules. When Buddhists drink tea, there’s no need to spend money. It’s all free. If you force me to accept it and other Buddhas find out, it’s a small matter if I’ll be beaten up, but there’s a high chance that this tea house won’t be able to continue.”
Li Xuanxin said indifferently, “I always pay for my water. Otherwise, I won’t drink it.”
“Erm.. Alright, I’ll ask the shopkeeper.”
The waiter took Li Xuanxin’s copper coin and said a few words to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper happily accepted the copper coins.
Li Xuanxin poured his water.
He had just poured a cup of tea when he heard a praise.
“Not drinking expensive tea and paying for what you consume. This is a true disciple of the Buddhist Sect, not a bald hooligan who makes trouble and takes advantage of the situation.”
Li Xuanxin glanced at the other party. It was a young man in a green robe. He looked very handsome.
However, his cultivation level was not ordinary.
2,600 years of cultivation!
The aura in his body was dense, but it gave off a feeling of reality and illusion. It was the Dao Sect’s Yin and Yang Qi.
Not many people could reach this cultivation level at such a young age.
There should.. only be one in the Dao Sect, right?
