Pork Butcher - C100
At the entrance of the Great Hall, there was a line of monks. It could be said that all the monks with some status in the Vajra Temple were here, with the exception of the two who understood what was going on.
“Xuan Yun greets the masters!”
“Mystical arts, greetings masters!”
Sun Yong and I clasped our fists and greeted each other. Although they had dealt with us earlier, we still had to talk about etiquette and use our Dao numbers, because using a Dao number right now is equivalent to talking about matters in a world of martial arts. That was the true equality between countries, when a small country goes to meet a large country, we would have to treat it with our national ceremony.
“Amitabha, I am the host of Vajra Temple, Liao Yuan” An extraordinary looking monk standing in the middle walked to the front and greeted us.
We looked at him carefully. He looked to be about fifty years old, of medium build, with an ordinary appearance, but his aura was not ordinary, and his aura was very different from that of an enlightened Buddhist, who seemed more like a superior.
“Yao Xie is already here. Fortunately, we didn’t fail our mission!” I said, cupping my hands.
“Amitabha,” Liao Yuan called out the Buddha’s name once again, before looking at them in understanding.
It was obvious that they were very curious about the Vajra Temple, and it was very possible that they were Son of Yi Ya’s Resentment, because they lived in an era where there was no Buddhism.
“Amitabha, Benefactor, I don’t know why you took over Junior Brother Ran’s body. If you are willing to separate yourself from Junior Brother Ran’s body, as long as you have any requests, your Vajra Temple will definitely go all out,” Liao Yuan said to Ran Ming.
“Really? Then what do I need your body for?” Su Yun said as he curled his lips and smiled at Liao Yuan.
“Sure, everyone who goes out is empty-handed. What does a mere pair of stinky skin count for?” Liao Yuan replied immediately.
Sun Yong and I were very unhappy to hear that. If it’s really like this, then what’s the point in exchanging his flesh for a clear flesh body. What does that mean?
“Master Liao Yuan, I have to say, if Master really wants to do this, then the only thing that can affect Chan Master Liao Ran’s body is the evil spirit on a Pig Slaughtering Knife, there are two types of evil spirits, one is during the Spring and Autumn Battle Empire, Yi Ya’s Resentment, Yi Ya must have heard of the story, in order to gain faith with Master Qi Heng, he cooked and killed his son into meat for Master Qi Heng, his heart is not satisfied, the ancient Resentment possessed on the blade that killed him, the generation leader of the Wind Water Master was evil thinking about Sun Chengzhi back then.
However, a few months ago, my grandfather was invited by the old woman to kill the old sow who had been raised by her family for more than ten years, but he did not know that the old sow had long opened her wisdom, thus, after being surprised by the Pig Slaughtering Knife, my grandfather miserably died under it, and then opened the seal. Afterwards, there was also the Evil Master Chen Jiuren, who used this knife to balance the Yin and Yang energies in the dragon vein.
“From then on, this blade started to control my Uncle, using his fresh blood to feed the Pig Slaughtering Knife, and also constantly eating great tonics and blood transfusions to alleviate the problem of the body, as well as understanding the goal of sustainable development, after that we had no way to invite Chan Master Liao Ran with Vajra Temple to help him exorcise the devils, but unexpectedly, the Chan Master Liao Ran was also struck by it, and thus we stood here after all,” I said loudly to Liao Yuan, not only did I advise him to not think about this evil blade, but I also casually explained the sequence of events.
After hearing what I said, all the monks from the Vajra Temple went into an uproar as they whispered to each other. Liao Yuan’s expression darkened as he sized Sun Yong and I up unceasingly.
“Benefactor, is what they said right?” However, what we did not expect was that Liao Yuan had asked us if we were right.
“Master Liao Yuan!” I cried out angrily. What the hell does this mean? It’s obvious that he doesn’t believe us.
“That’s right, I am Yi Ya’s son. However, I don’t hate my father anymore, because if not for him, I would not have been able to see such a glorious world. I am only a child’s play, fighting for power in spring and autumn, haha!”
“If you don’t hate me, you should go to the Underworld and be reborn, not the underworld,” Liao Yuan said.
I secretly looked at Sun Yong, what the hell is going on with their Vajra Temple, didn’t we agree to suppress them, and even started a conversation, is there really anything to talk about?
Sun Yong waved his hands, indicating that he didn’t know either. He couldn’t figure out the reason behind Vajra Temple doing this.
“Reincarnated? Why did I have to reincarnate? I haven’t had enough fun in such a beautiful world,” Son of Yi Ya asked in reply.
“Good and evil will always be rewarded. Back then, Yi Ya …”
“Master!” When I saw that Liao Yuan was really going to continue to say buddhist magic to affect them, I panicked and quickly interrupted him, “Master, if you want to change them using buddhist principles, then I advise you to forget about it. They eat the blood spirits, even if you convert them to buddhist arts, can they just give up on this?”
Pig Slaughtering Knife uses blood as food, this is more like a vampire. How is it possible for you let a vampire join the Buddha, I don’t believe it, they would rather starve to death than drink blood. If Liao Yuan can do this, then he will no longer be the host of Vajra Temple, but the Buddha.
Benefactor Xuan Yun, all living things are equal. Everyone must have the chance to seek the Buddha. Moreover, I believe that Yi Ya’s son still has goodness in his heart. He will definitely come back.
“Fine, fine, forgive us for our rudeness. Let’s go to the side and rest for now,” When I heard this, my heart was set ablaze, but I did not want to argue with him anymore. I knew that even Sun Yong and I would not be his match if we were to compete in terms of Dao.
“Damn it, Sun Yong, what do you think Vajra Temple is for? They closed their doors to the mountain today, not even a single tourist was allowed in. Since they gathered all the monks, they shouldn’t be joking around,” I told Sun Yong.
“I don’t know either, but they probably want to convert that guy. Didn’t they say that the buddhist sects have no differences? As long as they are willing to let go of everything and convert to a buddhist sect, they can accept all of it. It is also written in Journey to the West that buddhas can accept monsters as their disciples, so accepting an evil spirit is normal right now right?” Sun Yong said.
When Sun Yong said this, I kind of understood, this Vajra Temple’s master’s heart is really big, I really wanted to convert those two Evil Spirits, because the benefits are too great, forget about the others, the buddhist faith truly respects Shaolin, whether it’s buddhist arts or martial arts, the name Shaolin Temple has already far surpassed the Vajra Temple, and is already out of the country.
In this era of chaos, even the Shaolin Temple would find it difficult to achieve such a thing. Furthermore, with the Evil Spirits advertising, they could absorb even more believers, which was more powerful than any sort of Buddha statue. As long as one stood at the door, countless nobles would flock over.
Thinking about this, I looked at Liao Yuan with a cold smile. If he really had this goal in mind, then he would have definitely failed. Back then, Sun Chengzhi’s knowledge on Cultivation Level was definitely not inferior to his, but Sun Chengzhi didn’t have a single way out, and he even had to use a vicious thought to attack and suppress. One could imagine how strong Son of Yi Ya’s Resentment had become after thousands of years of evolution.
Just as expected, Liao Yuan had advised for two whole hours, but his expression was growing uglier and uglier.
During the last time, Liao Yuan couldn’t hold it in anymore and was directly carried into the Great Hall. He also took the Pig Slaughtering Knife inside, Sun Yong and I took a look and immediately followed him in.
The Great Hall of the Vajra Temple is extremely large, and even if hundreds of monks were to enter, they wouldn’t feel crowded, but we were quickly driven out by the monks. The reason is very simple, they wanted to use methods to convert the evil spirits, so the unrelated personnel weren’t present.
Soon, they opened the safe and took out the Pig Slaughtering Knife. They placed it under the altar and placed it in the middle. There were also dozens of monks sitting on the prayer mats on both sides.
“Begin!” Liao Yuan roared.
This was an extremely large group of mages, over a hundred monks, among them seven or eight senior monks with the highest seniority in Vajra Temple. This kind of scene was definitely not a common sight.
Not long after, the grand and mighty chanting of sutras began to resound throughout the great hall. Occasionally, the crisp sounds of magical equipment striking could be heard.
Sun Yong reminded me, and I immediately opened my Dharma Eyes. Immediately, I felt that the entire Great Hall had become different, as countless golden light “Swastika” characters were emitted from their mouths and gathered on their bodies, while the black energy emitted from their bodies to resist the “Swastika” characters. It was as though water and fire had merged together, and was constantly consuming each other.
“Hahaha, the buddhist faith is only this much!” Obviously, he was still shouting. Obviously, these things couldn’t do anything to him.
Liao Yuan’s face was dark, he never thought that the Evil Spirit was so powerful. The power of will gathered by over a hundred monks could not do anything to him, so he shouted, “Magic bell!”
As soon as the sound was heard, one of the monks hit the big bell, which was taller than a man, and the sound of the bell almost deafened us.
Dang, dang, dang! The bell kept ringing, and with the clear sound of the bell and the chanting of sutras, the pig slaughtering knife on the altar suddenly flew up and was about to return to its body.
“Bang!” But Liao Yuan was extremely fast, he grabbed his staff and immediately threw the Pig Slaughtering Knife away.
Even the Pig Slaughtering Knife had lost its head because it had never been so miserable in its entire life.
“Ah, ah …” Obviously, we can’t take it anymore. We keep screaming and we started to struggle. The ropes and bandages are breaking and we can’t hold on any longer.
The most violent change was still on the blade. It was sent flying by the staff and stared at a pillar, but it quickly continued to shake. Then, the entire blade turned red, and an apocalyptic aura was emitted from the Pig Slaughtering Knife.
Everyone’s expression changed greatly, but not only did they not stop, they started chanting even faster.
“Bang!” Liao Yuan inserted the staff into the ground and quickly returned it to the praying mat. Then, his hands began to form a seal, a very complicated hand seal.
“Bang!” When Liao Yuan was done with his hand seals, an imposing aura similar to Mt. Tai erupted from his body, striking towards the Pig Slaughtering Knife.
However, Sun Yong and I pointed at the Tathagata Buddha statue in the middle of the Great Hall of Treasure with trembling hands.
“Buddha, the Buddha statue opened its eyes …” My heart was extremely shocked.
