191: Zen Master: ??? A human skin being asked for a title?

The sudden sound was vast and righteous.

Immediately after, golden beads, as dense as raindrops, appeared in the sky, almost all of them bombarding Bai Lu.

“Buddha Beads?!”

“Buddha Light?!”

“Buddha Cultivator?!”

Chu Mo instantly became alert, using his methods to help Bai Lu resist this sudden attack.

Bai Lu's reaction was a beat slow.

Li Tian Ce's casting time was too long, causing him to only be able to take a step back, holding the nine dragon jade seal to protect Chu Mo's back.

“Buddha Light First Appearance!” Chu Mo clasped his hands together, his entire body erupting in golden light, resisting the rain-like attack.

The adjacent street, however, was not so lucky; Buddha Beads, seemingly without much power, would create a three-meter-diameter pit when they landed on the ground, as if they weighed a thousand jin.

And this was just the tip of the iceberg; the Buddha Beads that subsequently exploded released a large amount of extremely hot Buddha Power, which was the main event.

If ordinary ghosts came here, they wouldn't even need to be dealt with; merely approaching the explosion range would cause them to be dispersed and super-purified by the vast Buddha Power.

The strength of the person who unleashed such a method was imaginable.

“amitabha, Fellow Daoist, why do you protect a demon that harms living beings?!”

The falling Buddha Beads stopped.

An elderly monk walked out, with long, slender eyebrows, a wisp of snow-white long beard under his jaw that reached his chest, dressed in a loose white linen monk's robe, holding Buddha Beads in his left hand and a Zen staff in his right; just standing there, he gave off the feeling of a Great Master of great virtue.

Seeing another monk wanting to harm her, Bai Lu couldn't help but curse, “How unlucky! These busybody bald donkeys are everywhere!”

Of course, she didn't act rashly.

Firstly, this old monk was quite powerful; she felt she could resist the Buddha Beads that had just fallen, but she would also suffer some injuries.

Secondly, she wasn't in charge now; she was the enforcer, and the brain-work should be left to others. As long as they gave the order, she would roll up her sleeves and get to work.

On the side, seeing that the other party had stopped attacking, Chu Mo also didn't retaliate.

All those attacks just now were directed at Bai Lu; because he and Li Tian Ce were relatively close, the other party even intentionally avoided them, leaving a small gap.

If utilized well, Bai Lu could have completely escaped through this attack loophole.

And this also indicated that the person who attacked them was not someone who would harm the innocent just to kill a demon.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo clasped his hands together, took a few steps forward, and responded, “Omie Tofu, my Buddha is merciful. The Buddha once said: Lay down the butcher's knife and immediately become a Buddha. If this Young Miss demon is willing to lay down the butcher's knife and convert to my Buddha, this humble monk will naturally save her and guide her to wholeheartedly pursue goodness…”

The old monk raised an eyebrow. “Doing good deeds makes one a good demon, doing evil deeds makes one an evil demon. Her karma from killing is too heavy; I fear with your Cultivation, you cannot save her.”

Although Chu Mo had no appearance of a Buddhist Disciple, the Buddha Light he just used came from the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, which was an authentic Buddhist Cultivation Technique.

Therefore, the old monk also recognized the other party as a Buddhist Disciple, just one who hadn't been tonsured yet.

“Man proposes, God disposes. If I don't try, how will I know if this humble monk cannot save her?” Chu Mo smiled, “If I don't enter Hell, who will enter Hell? If this humble monk cannot save her in this life, then it will be the next life, the life after that, a thousand lives, ten thousand lives. To save the world throughout one's life, to save one person throughout one's life, is actually the same!”

These words contained Zen philosophy.

The old monk fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

Li Tian Ce leaned into Chu Mo's ear and whispered, “Chu Ge, where did you learn that? Suddenly, I feel like you have the potential to be a monk!”

“Get lost!” Chu Mo cursed, telling Li Tian Ce to get as far away as possible. He was going to be a white-robed sword immortal, not a bald monk.

However, with his current path, he might very well become a disheveled, black-robed, flag-wielding evil cultivator in the Late Stage.

Of course, this was a low-level evil cultivator.

A high-level evil cultivator naturally had to be in the upper echelons of the righteous faction, acting openly and honestly, revered by all under heaven.

And Chu Mo was striving towards the direction of a high-level evil cultivator.

“Master! Master!”

“You ran too fast! Wait for me!”

A voice came from not far away.

A young monk, carrying a travel bag, ran over, panting and leaning on his knees, saying to the old monk beside him, “Master… can't you wait for me? The golden Buddha's exposure just now attracted a lot of attention, and the way those people in Guo Bei County looked at me, I felt like they wanted to eat me alive…”

As soon as he said this, he saw several people confronting his Master in front.

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, he immediately covered his mouth, even wanting to slap himself twice.

What a slip of the tongue, now there's trouble!

“Shi Fang, bring the travel bag!” The old monk called his Disciple, asking him to bring the travel bag to him.

“But they…” The young monk glanced at Chu Mo and the others, then looked at the two corpses lying on the ground, and the mutually attacking but controlled thugs, hesitating to speak.

The old monk naturally saw what his Disciple was thinking, but his attitude remained unchanged, “Meeting is fate. Since Fellow Daoist wants to save this snake demon, this humble monk will naturally lend Fellow Daoist a hand.”

The old monk took out a Bodhi prayer beads bracelet from Shi Fang the young monk's travel bag and handed it to Chu Mo.

“These Buddha Beads are a Magic Treasure I have nurtured for many years; they contain the purest Buddha Power of Buddhism and can calm the mind and keep the spiritual platform clear!”

Chu Mo, who received the Buddha Beads, felt the pure Buddha Power within them and a smile appeared on his face.

“This humble monk is Wu Kong, may I ask for Great Master's Dharma name?”

“This humble monk is Baiyun.”

Hearing this familiar name, Chu Mo was not surprised, as if he had expected it.

Ning Caichen has already appeared, what's so strange about another White Cloud Zen Master?

As soon as White Cloud Zen Master appeared, he had already guessed the other party's identity, and with a young Disciple named Shi Fang and a golden Buddha, it was even more certain.

After simply thanking White Cloud Zen Master, Chu Mo threw the Bodhi prayer beads bracelet to Bai Lu: “Wear it! It'll suppress your Demonic Qi.”

Bai Lu was not polite either, directly putting it on her wrist and smiling triumphantly at White Cloud Zen Master.

You just hit me, and now I'm wearing your treasure!

You infuriate me!

“Master, she…” Shi Fang was immediately annoyed when he saw Chu Mo give the Bodhi prayer beads bracelet, which his Master had just given him, to Bai Lu.

This was too rude!

Who knew, White Cloud Zen Master not only wasn't angry but even nodded in satisfaction: “Wu Kong, since you can make her move, why didn't you stop her before?”

The Bodhi prayer beads bracelet was originally intended for Bai Lu; he only gave it to Chu Mo to test whether he could make this demon wear a Buddhist item.

But the smooth progress of things…

Exceeded his expectations.

Chu Mo smiled faintly: “As you sow, so shall you reap. These people's current fate is entirely their own doing!”

White Cloud Zen Master remained silent.

He now only felt that he had been careless.

He originally thought the other party had a grand vision, but now it seemed that the logic was reversed, and his actions contradicted his words. All seemingly profound words actually served to create a narrative favorable to himself.

Is this person truly a Buddhist Disciple? Why does it feel like this is a demon in the guise of a Buddhist Disciple!

At this moment, Li Tian Ce walked out, holding the Nine Dragon Seal.

“White Cloud Zen Master, do I look like an emperor, or an ordinary person?!”

White Cloud Zen Master: ?????

A human skin seeking an imperial title?

Previously, because of Chu Mo and Bai Lu, he hadn't really scrutinized Li Tian Ce, but now that he looked, he indeed had the appearance of an emperor.

But this also meant that the country would change hands, wars would be constant, and the common people would once again face the bitter days of living from hand to mouth.
