375: Chapter 375 [Lay Down the Butcher Knife, Instantly Become a Buddha] Second Update!
Second update!
The old monk was clearly taken aback and couldn’t help but say, “You actually know of the Heavenly Dragon Roar?”
Ye Chenfeng smiled, “Legend has it that the Heavenly Dragon Roar has nine levels.
I wonder to which level has the master cultivated?”
The old monk’s eyes sparkled with a glint of brilliance, “You’re quite extraordinary!”
“That’s why I’m advising you to relinquish your thoughts, master.
With your strength, killing me is quite unrealistic!” Ye Chenfeng arrogantly said.
The old monk shook his head, “No, no, no, I don’t want to kill you.
How could a monk readily wield the butcher’s knife!”
“Then what does the master mean?” Ye Chenfeng asked in confusion.
“I want you to stay by my side, recite Buddhist scriptures and cleanse yourself of your killing karma and sins!
Amitabha Buddha!” the old monk said, his eyes showing an unwavering determination.
“Ha ha…” Ye Chenfeng laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, “Master, you want to keep me by your side to cleanse my karma and sins?”
The old monk twirled his Buddha beads and nodded, “Correct.
From the moment you entered the cave, it was destined that you would not be able to leave here until you have completely cleansed yourself of your sins!”
Ye Chenfeng was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.
He had gone to great lengths to gather keys, decipher clues, find maps, and travel thousands of miles to get here, just for the sake of entering the Ancient Tomb and obtaining the Reincarnation Mirror; yet the old monk wanted to keep him here to chant and pray, all to cleanse supposed sins.
“Old monk, aren’t you being a bit too meddlesome?
I’m just here to stay for one night, right?
What?
Are you planning to keep me here to serve you tea and water?
Or to make me become a vegetarian?” Ye Chenfeng said with a displeased tone.
“Serving tea and water is Zen, and eating vegetarian is even more so.
Benefactor, you should return to your true nature!
Cultivate your Zen!” the old monk said.
“What Zen, not Zen, you just keep on being happy by yourself, I’m leaving!” Ye Chenfeng said as he prepared to leave.
Could there actually be such a peculiar old monk?
“Benefactor, do not leave!”
But the next second, the old monk suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng, as though he had teleported there.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes narrowed, extremely fast movement technique.
This old monk, who knew how old he was, seemed a tough creature to escape from.
Ye Chenfeng felt it would take a tremendous effort.
“Quickly get out of the way!
Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Ye Chenfeng said coldly, his aura of murder enveloping the old monk.
“Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, you carry a heavy sin, with far too many innocent lives on your hands.
Lay down the butcher’s knife and immediately become a Buddha!” the old monk said with his hands pressed together, his voice resounding like the sound of three thousand great paths booming.
Ye Chenfeng sneered and couldn’t help but ask, “Master, based on what you’re saying, I actually have a question.”
“Please speak, benefactor!” the old monk’s eyes brightened.
“Isn’t it always said among your Buddhist ranks that if a bad person lays down the butcher’s knife, they can immediately become a Buddha, but why does a good person have to go through many trials and tribulations before they can attain enlightenment?” Ye Chenfeng expressed his doubt.
“This…” Ye Chenfeng’s question instantly rendered the old monk speechless, for even with his profound understanding of Buddhist Law, he had no idea how to answer Ye Chenfeng’s question.
Seeing the old monk at a loss, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t resist saying, “Old monk, whenever you have an epiphany about this question, come and cleanse my sins then!”
Ye Chenfeng once again took a step to leave, but the old monk, with a withered hand, reached out and suddenly a vast power pulled Ye Chenfeng back.
“You bald donkey, forcing me to take action!” Ye Chenfeng said furiously, and at once, his Gang Qi burst forth from his body, transforming into a stormy onslaught that blew away the old monk’s suppressing force!
“Eh?
Transformation Realm?
You’re actually a Martial Artist?” the old monk exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Chenfeng snorted coldly, “So what if I am, what if I’m not?”
The old monk shook his head, “No, there’s a tremendously powerful force within you, totally different from that of the Eastern cultivators.
That’s right, it’s a power possessed only by cultivators of the Western World!”
Ye Chenfeng said, “Bald donkey, you certainly know a lot!”
That powerful force the old monk mentioned was indeed the Divine Source Power within him.
The old monk added, “I remember, thirty years ago, I encountered a Western practitioner.
The power within him was incredibly similar to yours!”
“Huh?
You are not human!” the old monk exclaimed again.
Ye Chenfeng became angry and cursed, “Pah, old monk, who are you talking about?
You are the one who is not human!”
“Little benefactor, I have decided to take you as my disciple!
I will keep you in Zen Temple for ten years.
After ten years, regardless of whether the sins on you have been cleansed or not, I will let you go down the mountain!” The old monk finally made a decision.
Chenfeng shook his head helplessly, “It seems I have to defeat you first in order to leave!”
“Amitabha!” The old monk stood in front of Ye Chenfeng, chanting softly.
“Bang bang!”
Ye Chenfeng’s feet stomped fiercely on the ground, his body pressing toward the old monk like a tiger descending from the mountain, his furious momentum kicking up a gust of wind.
The speed, strength, and angle were flawless.
“Huh?”
The next second, Ye Chenfeng’s eyes narrowed, and the old monk in front of him had vanished.
“Bang!”
In his astonishment, Ye Chenfeng felt like he was being targeted by a poison snake, trying his best to evade, but he was still a step too late; a massive force struck him from behind, spreading instantly throughout his body.
“Pff!”
Unable to suppress it, his blood sprayed out, and Chenfeng, mid-air, fluttered like a falling leaf.
But then, while still airborne, he suddenly twisted his body and landed steadily on the ground.
“The old monk indeed has some skills!” Ye Chenfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze coldly fixed on the old monk.
“Amitabha!”
The old monk only knew to keep chanting.
“Again!”
Ye Chenfeng seemed unwilling to admit defeat, his figure changing again, moving like a ghost charm, leaving only trails of afterimages.
Ye Chenfeng was so fast that multiple images of him appeared before the old monk’s eyes, making it impossible to tell which one was real and which were false.
“Gone again!”
But when Ye Chenfeng launched his attack, the old monk vanished once more, making Ye Chenfeng’s speed, which deceived the eyes, ineffective against him.
A chill ran down his spine, and his whole body bristled with cold sweat.
However, this time Chenfeng had no intention of dodging.
“Bang!”
Ye Chenfeng was attacked from behind again.
“Boom!”
But Chenfeng turned his body and whipped out a leg kick behind him.
“Snap!”
The old monk behind him couldn’t react in time and was struck by Ye Chenfeng’s whip leg.
Immediately, the catastrophic force made the old monk’s left shoulder collapse, even his left foot sinking into the earth, leaving a deep footprint behind.
When experts exchanged blows, opportunities were fleeting, and what mattered was capturing the moment.
The old monk’s movement technique was so fast it was unimaginable, but if one could evade once, they surely couldn’t evade a second time, particularly when facing an unexpected move from Ye Chenfeng.
“Hmph, that makes us even!” Ye Chenfeng looked at the old monk and smiled.
