Deviant Immortal of Uncanny Dao Chapter 43: Buddha
"He has become a Buddha." Hearing the abbot's indifferent words, Li Huowang instantly felt a chill on his back.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the five giant golden Buddhas around him. They seemed to change their faces in an instant when they were solemn and solemn just now.
Li Huowang, who was just about to get up, glanced at the bright sun outside the door, and then looked at the abbot in front of him.
The old abbot was still the same as before, sitting there with full concentration, neither happy nor sad, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.
"Wait, don't scare yourself, it's not necessarily what I think."
After thinking about it for a while, Li Huowang asked again: "Abbot, there should be a festival between Zhengde Temple and Danyangzi."
"Yes, he had captured people and murdered people everywhere before, and he made a lot of trouble. I once sent the monks from the Bodhidharma Academy of this temple to go and capture them, but he escaped many times."
"If you can find a way to remove this person, it is also considered a merit."
"Then dare to ask the master, how did such a heinous villain become a Buddha? How could he become a Buddha?"
"Amitabha, what he is now doesn't matter what he is, Lao Na has a Buddha in his heart, and in my heart, he is a Buddha."
Hearing what the other party said, Li Huowang suddenly became agitated. The old monk was not good at speaking and was playing riddles with himself.
"Donor, at this time Danyang Zidun and Daqian, I don't care what he is, what matters is what you think he is, what you think he is, what he is, after all, now his cause and effect lies in You, not the old man."
Xinhui's voice was still uneven, but this time Li Huowang understood what he was trying to convey.
"You mean that Danyangzi has now become a shapeless mass that can change with people's thoughts? Similar to that of Master You?"
"Of course."
"But why? How did he become that kind of ghost? I made up all the exercises to become immortals. With so many poisonous things, they should die directly after eating them!"
Li Huowang couldn't think of this question without breaking his head.
"I don't know."
Li Huowang was caught off guard by the frankness of the other party. "You don't know?"
"Lao Na is not a future Buddha. He cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. The monks don't lie. If you don't know, you don't know."
After thinking for a while, Li Huowang asked a key question again.
"Abbot, is there a way to completely eliminate Dan Yangzi? Since he is our opponent, it is not a problem to let him hang like this."
He went all this far to solve this.
Don't care what Dan Yangzi has become, you must get rid of him.
This time Xinhui didn't answer so quickly, but after thinking for a while, she raised her right hand. "Come here, I need to take another look."
Looking at the wrinkled white hand, Li Huowang hesitated.
"Hsuanyang benefactor, if you still suspect that I want to harm you, then you should not enter the temple gate just now."
After thinking for a moment, Li Huowang put his forehead on his palm.
With a sound of "Om", Li Huowang felt that all the colors around him instantly became several times brighter, and his whole body felt light and airy.
This wonderful feeling came and went quickly. When everything returned to normal, Li Huowang didn't know what was going on in his heart, and his heart was still a little empty.
He understood that, apart from anything else, the old abbot must have some special Buddhist powers.
"Well... this matter is very important. I need to discuss countermeasures with other elders. You can stay in the temple for the time being, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."
Li Huowang was a little nervous when he heard that he was going to stay. "I still have friends outside the temple, and they don't worry if I don't go back."
Seeing Li Huowang's refusal, the abbot's tone was still neither hurried nor slow.
"It's up to you to stay or go. Zhengde Temple will open at dawn tomorrow. Donor Xuanyang, please don't break your promise. You also know that this trouble will not be eliminated. It will be a big hidden danger to you and the world after all."
When Li Huowang walked outside the hall and stood in the sunlight, he looked inside, but found that the abbot had turned around again and started chanting again to the huge golden Buddha.
Li Huowang raised his head and looked at the sun at noon, and then looked at the quiet and peaceful Buddhist temples around him. No matter how he looked, it didn't seem like anything happened.
Just as Li Huowang turned around and walked a few steps, the bare back of the head of the abbot who was chanting began to squirm.
After a while, the smooth back of the head under the Five Buddha's hat slowly cracked, and a huge vertical eye the size of a fist drilled out, staring at Li Huowang.
At this time, the sound of chanting in the old abbot's mouth suddenly became an order of magnitude louder. "Lust is not me...it is me. Lust should not be sick and suffering. I want this kind of sex...I don't want this kind of sex....I can do whatever I want. That's why you should know..."
When Li Huowang turned around and followed the path between the temples and came to the main entrance full of people and pilgrims, he felt like he had come to the world again.
Standing in the crowd, he looked towards the alley he had just walked out of, "Should I trust him?" Li Huowang felt a little hesitant.
"Hey! Taoist priest! I'm here!" Hearing someone calling him, Li Huowang turned his head to look, and saw the old beggar on the road not far away, waving to him excitedly.
"Have you come to Zhengde Temple? Does anyone want you?"
The old beggar nodded excitedly. "Well, the monk just said, look at me pitiful, you can let me work in this temple."
"That's fine, you can do it here, at least it's better than digging wild vegetables outside to eat tribute from the dead. I have to leave beforehand. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
"You can just call me a monk. I like being called a monk~IndoMTL.com~ I will come to the temple when I have time in the future."
"Hehe, according to your Buddhist teachings, let's follow the fate."
Saying goodbye to the old monk, Li Huowang left Zhengde Temple.
When he arrived at the inn that he had agreed upon, other people rushed up,
Li Huowang raised his hand to stop the others from asking, and said, "I have a matter for you, you all go and ask the locals about Zhengde Temple."
Although the contact with those monks is very normal today, he still intends to listen to the local people's views on Zhengde Temple before making plans.
Others also asked something, nodded, turned around and walked out of the inn.
Time passed, and when the sun went down, the seven people who had scattered out came back one after another, and began to report their knowledge to Li Huowang.
"I heard from them that the Zhengde Temple is the largest temple in the entire Xijing City, and the incense is the most prosperous."
"I heard that those monks are very devout and strictly abide by the rules and regulations. Last time a monk stole meat and was directly expelled from the temple by them."
"I heard that the emperor in the palace will also go to the temple to worship Buddha. If you are lucky and get a good seat, you can even see the emperor!"
"I'm pretty much the same as what they inquired about, brother, what do you want us to do in Zhengde Temple?"
Li Huowang didn't answer. He didn't want to tell them that Danyangzi might still exist, lest they be frightened.
After pondering over their experiences for a while, Li Huowang found that he had no reason to refuse.
If you don't trust these monks, then you can only go head-to-head with Dan Yangzi, who has become a "Buddha". This choice is undoubtedly courting death.
Finally, after weighing the gains and losses, Li Huowang made a decision to return to Zhengde Temple tomorrow.
