606: Put down the butcher knife, become a Buddha on the spot, and kill two monks

Though Fo Mu's voice was soft, it was like a bone-deep parasite, burrowing into one's ears and refusing to leave, gradually making the listener's mind hazy, willing to offer everything.

“Ah—!”

The lame old woman took a small knife, her expression turning ruthless as she cut off a piece of her flesh and offered it onto the bronze plate.

“The decaying flesh is gone; drink the Karma Water, and your Black Blood Disease will be cured.”

Fo Mu’s lips curved into a compassionate arc, and the young monk behind her held a bowl of golden glowing liquid, offering it to the lame old woman.

“Gulp—”

Without a word, the old woman swallowed the golden liquid.

In less than ten breaths, the lame old woman became radiant, her vitality restored, showing no trace of the decline caused by Black Blood Disease.

Even her lame leg could now reluctantly walk on its own.

“A miracle… a miracle!”

“This is an old immortal from the heavens!”

“We beg Great Master Fo Mu to bestow Karma Water upon us!”

The kneeling devotees were like madmen, their eyes staring blankly at Fo Mu on the lotus platform, as if they were worshipping a deity.

“Is it really that miraculous?”

The Demon Suppression Guard hidden in the shadows frowned.

But looking at the lame old woman's reaction, it didn't seem fake.

Could there really be such miraculous Karma Water in this world, and given freely to everyone?

Just as everyone was kneeling and begging for Karma Water.

Fo Mu's gaze suddenly turned to the sky, and she murmured, “Someone is coming.”

The three Great Masters looked towards the Void Realm.

They saw.

A sword light streaked across the sky, descending upon Fo Mu Temple, and an urgent voice came, falling to his knees before Fo Mu, saying:

“Great Master Fo Mu, I wish to enter the Buddhist path and serve Fo Mu for the rest of my life; please have mercy and take me in.”

The newcomer was none other than Gu Jian.

He had nowhere else to go, and happening to pass by, he heard the commotion here and felt that the Fo Mu of this temple was no ordinary person.

If he could gain her protection, he might be able to escape Chu Jiang's pursuit.

“Fo Mu, this person seems to be pursued by someone, and he might bring trouble to the temple,” Xuan Chi said from the side.

“No, I’m not; I truly wish to enter the Buddhist path, please take me in.”

Gu Jian said anxiously.

“Benefactor, your murderous intent is too strong; it will be difficult for you to enter the Buddhist path!”

Fo Mu said softly, then changed her tone, “But, our Buddhist sect saves all sentient beings; as long as Benefactor is willing to give up all your wealth, you can be a boy attendant under me, and I will protect you.”

“No one in the world would dare to touch you.”

“I am willing, I am willing.”

Gu Jian said ecstatically, and without a second thought, he handed over the Storage Pouch in his hand and all his wealth to the Buddhist monks.

He naturally understood these rules.

This Fo Mu spoke so wildly; her strength must be extraordinary.

“This child has good Luck; he can be used,” Fo Mu transmitted to Xuan Ji, Xuan Chen, and Xuan Chen.

The three understood.

“This Benefactor, I am Xuan Ji; today, I will shave your head.”

Xuan Ji said faintly.

“Thank you, Great Master!”

Gu Jian cupped his hands, performing a clumsy Buddhist etiquette, feeling relieved inside. He couldn't help but sigh, he basically always managed to turn the tide in desperate situations.

Being wanted by Yun Province, with everyone wanting his head for a reward, he met his second Revered Master, Tianji Star, the branch Revered Master of Earth Fiend Hall, changing his fate that should have been death.

Entering the Gate of Life and Death, he survived by a hair's breadth and obtained the Legacy of the great figure, Black Demon.

Now, being pursued by Chu Jiang, he met his third Revered Master, “Fo Mu.” This was all destined, that Heaven would not let him perish.

After the shaving was complete, Gu Jian had become bald.

“As the saying goes, ‘Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.’”

“From now on, your Dharma name will be Kuji. Your former name and past shall turn into smoke.”

Fo Mu said compassionately.

“Thank you, Fo Mu, for granting me a new life.”

Gu Jian imitated the young monks, performing Buddhist rituals and bowing to Fo Mu. With a new backer, his mood was exceptionally bright.

After more than ten breaths.

“What a ‘Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot’!”

Between heaven and earth, a sudden roar erupted, and faintly, a Xuan Ming Throne could be seen rapidly traversing, standing in the Void Realm.

They saw.

On the Xuan Ming Throne, a figure in a black Dragon robe, with eyes like black holes, devouring all things, sat majestically, tall and dignified, exuding terrifying pressure.

Beside the throne, a human emperor banner, emitting rolling purple Qi, stood, giving off a chilling aura.

This cold shout instantly awakened all those who were in a state of trance.

He looked at the kneeling crowd; they were basically bloodless, their Qi and blood already dry, their source of life exhausted.

“It's Chu Garrison Envoy!”

On the ground, Shi Qingxuan's eyes gradually cleared, and she said joyfully, a hint of reverence flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected to meet such a prominent figure here.

“Oh no, Xuan'er, let's retreat quickly!”

Yang Huo pulled Shi Qingxuan, about to leave. Chu Jiang was not only the Yun Province Pacification Commissioner but also appointed Supervisor when Chu Emperor passed away, announcing it to the world.

Such a busy great figure coming here was certainly not without reason. This meant… this Fo Mu Temple most likely had something suspicious going on.

“Chu Jiang…”

Gu Jian's face turned pale; this guy really caught up. He hoped Fo Mu could withstand him, otherwise, he would definitely perish here today.

“Amitabha, Supervisor's grand presence graces our humble temple; may I ask your purpose?” Fo Mu's expression was indifferent, without any fear in her eyes.

“Your temple is harboring a wanted criminal of the court, and you ask me?”

Chu Jiang leaned against the Xuan Ming Throne, saying coldly.

“Benefactor Chu, there is no wanted criminal you seek here. He has already entered the Buddhist path and is a disciple of our Buddhist family. Your slander of Buddhism will incur divine wrath,” Xuan Chen said sternly.

“Whoosh!”

As soon as the words fell, a dark red Saber Qi shot out from the sky, and a crack instantly appeared on Xuan Chen's glabella, rapidly spreading.

Pfft!

Xuan Chen's head, along with his upper body, was sliced in two by a single saber, blood gushing out, neatly split into two halves.

“Benefactor Chu, you have cruelly killed a Buddhist practitioner, accumulating Karma and falling into the demonic path. The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back and reach the shore!” A hint of anger flashed in Xuan Chi's eyes.

The next instant.

Chu Jiang pointed a finger, and Xuan Chi's chest was instantly pierced, a bloody hole appearing.

“I didn't hear clearly just now; would you like to say it again?” Chu Jiang sneered.

“Benefactor Chu, you…”

Xuan Ji's face was ashen, pointing at Chu Jiang with his hand, furious beyond measure.

This guy was truly unruly, simply boundless in his arrogance.

Question him even half a sentence, and he would kill on the spot.

“I hate it when people point at me,” Chu Jiang said coldly.

Boom!

A Saber Qi instantly slashed towards Xuan Ji's arm. Fo Mu immediately flicked her sleeve, and three thousand Buddha lights condensed into a Protective Aura for defense.

Bang!

Crack!

The Protective Aura was instantly broken, blood splattered, and a bloody arm was brutally cut off. Xuan Ji immediately let out a painful wail.

“Supervisor, you have already killed two Great Masters of my temple; that's enough. Do you truly think I fear you?” Fo Mu's expression was no longer calm, becoming increasingly cold.

Chu Jiang's face showed ruthlessness, and he disappeared from the Xuan Ming Throne, saying sternly, “You really think I can't see your true form, do you? Don't play games with me here.”

“Fuck your mother!”

Rumble!

The next instant.

Chu Jiang violently charged, smashing through the lotus platform's defense with a single punch, grabbing Fo Mu's body, and fiercely slamming her to the ground, causing blood to spurt out.

“You…”
