Chapter Eighty-Four Nirvana

  Went out today, got hot, just two more, slept, adjusted the schedule, took a look, Qingdi has updated 260,000 words, when it was put on shelves, it's estimated to be 290,000 words. Rushing to finish the manuscript is also tiring, will continue to work hard tomorrow

  Wei Qingchen pondered for a moment before asking: "The Honglian Jingtu Sect has three great divine monks, which one are you?"

  "What a wonderful monk! My Buddhist name is Wú Chǐ, which means 'toothless'." When the old monk said this, Bai Qi noticed that there was a hint of pride on his face.

  As soon as this feeling emerged, Bai Qi suddenly understood why he had always felt that something was off. When the old monk spoke with him, his words were elegant and refined, but when he spoke with Wei Qingchen, they seemed somewhat out of place. What kind of ability did he possess? It was a perception that didn't belong to the realm of spiritual power.

  Wei Qingchen heard the old monk's Buddhist name, and his facial expression finally became somewhat unnatural.

  Honglian Jingtu Sect, the only Mahasattva Fruition Cultivator. His strength is comparable to mine, but this toothless monk, as the Grandmaster of Honglian Jingtu Sect, has numerous Buddhist artifacts on him. The sect's kung fu is renowned for its defensive capabilities, and if I were to entangle with this monk, it would take three to five days to see a result.

  The worst thing is this old monk's Dharma name.

  That's really the most extreme, if he himself and he fought, winning would be fine, but if he lost, his own concubines could be taken away by him. So Wei Qingchen knew that Wu Chi Shen Seng couldn't keep him here, and was also hesitant about whether to take action.

  This matter originally belonged to the Beast King, what does it have to do with me?

  The idea had just flashed through his mind, and Wei Qingchen's face immediately showed a proud expression. He let Xiao Qiao retreat and said to the three people in the temple: "Too much talk is useless, take my blow next, I'll turn around and leave. If you break your temple and the two people you're protecting, I'll take them away."

  Just as Zi Hong was about to speak up, he was pulled back by Bai Qi, who wouldn't let him talk. The toothless monk had come for his own sake, fortunately, he hadn't thought of hiding the Red Lotus Buddha. As for how things would be handled, it was no longer something he could decide on his own. If the toothless monk didn't lend a hand, even if there were hundreds more people like Zi Hong, they still wouldn't be a match for Ren Wang Wei Lianchen.

  Zi Hong was unwilling to let his fate be decided by others, but Bai Qi said in a low voice: "The monk's Buddhist name is Wu Chi, we really lost. We can escape on our own, he won't stop us for Wei Qingchen."

  Zi Hong shook his head, did he and Bai Qi escape?

  "Sister, you've taken a Rohan Lotus Seed, hurry up and dissolve it, otherwise it'll go to waste." Bai Qi didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. He himself had many secrets on his body. The Twelve Golden Men of Qin Huang were hidden in another storage ring and never moved. But he might not be able to deceive the toothless monk. The monk was waiting for him here, all because of the Red Lotus Jade Buddha. What method did he use to find out? Bai Qi couldn't think clearly about it at all.

  The toothless monk opened his mouth and revealed his gapped teeth with a smile, this smile was for Zi Hong, indicating to her to be at ease.

  "I've heard that you claim to be the King of Men, with countless concubines. If I win, will the King of Men give me that girl from just now?"

  "What do you want her to do." Wei Qingchen said casually, and immediately regretted it.

  As expected, the toothless monk said: "I've said it before, my first wife just died a few days ago and I'm thinking of taking in another one. This little girl has smooth skin and pure blood, she can be my legitimate wife."

  Wei Qingchen had never eaten such a loss before. He wanted to scold the monk for being shameless, but the other's Buddhist name was Wu Chi (meaning "shameless"), so what could he do?

  Although the Buddhist door is weak, those who have obtained the Bodhisattva fruit position can still walk in the mortal world without affecting their lifespan and cultivation. However, I need to rely on a magical artifact to maintain my activities in the Middle State. Otherwise, I would have to return to the Night Emperor's Gate, the Night Emperor's cave mansion. It's not worth it for me to get entangled further.

  "Alright, if I lose, I'll give Xiao Qiao to you." Wei Qingchen's face flashed with a purple aura as he began to cast a spell.

  This move was the culmination of his life's work, and above the temple, a red cloud suddenly condensed. In the midst of the red cloud, a vortex grew larger and larger, frantically absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth. However, this divine technique was too powerful, and the surrounding primordial energy was insufficient for the vortex to absorb. Wei Qingchen tossed a piece of sacred jade into the cloud, which shattered in the vortex, causing the power of the sacred yuan to suddenly expand the vortex by over a hundred times, enveloping the entire temple within it.

  Exerting divine magic among humans is extremely costly, and Wei Qingchen's movements are slow and weak, but no one can stop him.

  Zi Hong changed color, she exclaimed: "Dust Fairy Thunderbolt!"

  The immortal art released by Weiqing Chen was a top-notch immortal art that walked among humans, created based on the characteristics of Jie Lei. If this Dust Immortal Jie Lei hit an enemy, it would inevitably lead to a tragic end of being crushed to dust and bones, and no cultivator from any sect could escape death.

  No matter if you're a sword cultivator, a monk, an internal alchemist, an undying demon fairy, or a true immortal who's shattered their dan and been reborn, under the tribulation of heavenly thunder, all will die and their dao will be extinguished, don't even think about reincarnation.

  The toothless monk saw Wei Qingchen cast a spell and also cried with a sad face.

  Don't look at Wei Qingchen's current carefree and relaxed state, after this move is made, he will definitely have to go back to arduous cultivation for several years to recover his current state.

  "Some people just can't take the teasing." The monk sighed, and Bai Qi and Zi Hong didn't know how to comfort him. Wei Qingchen was after all a fake immortal who could rival the shameless monk, and being asked by the toothless monk to make his woman his wife in front of everyone was an insult that no man could bear, let alone the King.

  Not to mention Wei Qingchen, even Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of bad luck when he looked at Xiao Qiao's beautiful face and then at the monk's seemingly hairless and worm-like complexion.

  The old monk took the crystal lamp in front of the Buddha and placed it between the three of them. He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood onto the red lotus jade Buddha beside him. His body had Buddhist instruments, but not all could withstand the dust fairy calamity thunder. This red lotus jade Buddha was an important Buddhist instrument that was lost when the Red Lotus Pure Land Sect came to Zhongzhou to preach, and every generation of the sect's leader had been searching for it. People outside the sect didn't even know how to use this jade Buddha.

  The blood of the shameless god monk splashed onto the Jade Buddha, and that blood was a pure golden color, naturally forming a scripture on the body of the Red Lotus Jade Buddha.

  Bai Qi sighed in admiration, such an old monk, Buddhist law is pure and orthodox, without any impurities.

  Zi Hong, under Bai Qi's persuasion, ignored the calamity clouds in the sky and directly absorbed the power of the lotus seeds. Bai Qi's lotus seeds were not stored in a Nuha, but rather in a Qinglian within the fire, using that pure energy to nourish his yin spirit. Zi Hong couldn't learn this method, as the destructive power of the Qing Lei Yuan Gang was enormous, yet it also had the effect of nourishing all things. These eighteen lotus seeds, stored in the Qinglian within the fire, would absolutely not suffer even a slight loss.

  Bai Qi also knew that this lotus seed was only used to take the first pill to enlarge the yin spirit, but after the yin spirit was damaged, this lotus seed would be refined and could quickly repair the yin spirit.

  In the hands of a Qi Refiner, the elixirs that can repair the yin spirit are extremely precious. The Toothless Zen Master took out 36 of them at once, and that was because he was showing respect to the Red Lotus Jade Buddha.

  In the midst of the flames, the eighteen lotus seeds within the green lotus were nurtured by the demonic fire and the Thunderclap of Qing Lei Yuan Gong. On each lotus seed, a swastika appeared, and the shape of the lotus seeds also changed slightly, transforming into eighteen human figures that resembled the arhats enshrined in temples.

  The toothless monk was right, Buddhism and Taoism were originally one family. This treasure of the Buddhist sect didn't require any Buddhist methods to use, and Bai Qi, a demon clan cultivator, could easily absorb it.

  Bai Qi suddenly thought of a problem, if he used the Inverse Scale Spear to absorb the power inside the Jade Buddha, would the Toothless Divine Monk find trouble with him?

  On top of the Jade Buddha, a golden scripture culture served as a kasaya, toothless god monk fell sitting on a meditation cushion, but the Jade Buddha moved its hands and feet, looking at Bai Qi smiled.

  Bai Qi had seen Jade Buddha take action before, and it was not surprising that Jade Buddha could move. However, this smile looked very similar to the toothless monk's.

  The Jade Buddha bent down and picked up the crystal lamp on the ground, holding it in his hand. As soon as the crystal lamp was in the Jade Buddha's hand, its light became extremely bright, illuminating the entire temple with a single beam of light. The Buddha's light even broke through the roof, rushing towards the dark clouds in the sky.

  The Jade Buddha's expression froze for a moment, and then tears flowed from his eyes. The Jade Buddha spoke up, in the voice of the Toothless Monk.

  "Two donors, the meal that the monk gave you is still a bit too simple. If the monk can attain Buddhahood, he will certainly not forget today." The words of the toothless monk were vulgar, but very sincere. The Red Lotus Pure Land Sect was suppressed by the White Lotus Sect because it lost the Red Lotus Jade Buddha and never again produced a high-ranking monk who could attain Buddhahood.

  Nowadays, Honglian Jade Buddha returns to the sect, and the prosperity of Honglian Pure Land Sect is expected.

  The Buddhist door attaches great importance to cause and effect. Don't look at the toothless monk teasing King Wang, and this sentence of Bai Qi's, he can't violate it. Otherwise, the power of karma will entangle him, let alone become a Buddha, being able to escape hell is already an extravagant hope.

  Bai Qi did not think that Wu Chi would make a vow, he just nodded his head and didn't say anything.

  The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have different ultimate goals in their practice. The Taoist school emphasizes the Great Way, which has three thousand paths; no matter which path one chooses, one can attain longevity. In contrast, the Buddhist school is concerned with the space between heaven and earth, where countless kalpas come and go, leaving only the self.

  The "I" of Buddhism is not the self, but the eternal truth that has been passed down since ancient times. This is also what Taoism calls the Tao. The practices of Taoism are diverse and numerous, although they all lead to becoming an immortal, there are huge differences between them. The ultimate goal of Buddhism is Buddhahood.

  A Buddhist country with hundreds of billions of Bodhisattvas and Arhats, but there is only one Buddha. No matter how terrifying the number may be, there is no distinction.

  If it wasn't for the right opportunity, Bai Qi wouldn't have thought of getting any benefits from Buddhism. Cause and effect are cyclical; if you get benefits today, you'll have to pay them back tomorrow. In this world, there's only one kind of person you can't afford to provoke: monks.

  Hong Lian Yu Buddha finished speaking, and eight heavenly dragons flew out of his kasaya, protecting the Jade Buddha. Holding crystal lamps in their hands, with red lotus flowers blooming under their feet, they soared towards the calamity clouds in the sky.

  The King of Dust saw the Jade Buddha in a golden cassock rush into the tribulation cloud, and his face finally changed greatly. However, the Dust Immortal Tribulation Thunder had already been deployed, and he couldn't stop it either.

  That calamity cloud was like a huge grinding disc formed by the primordial energy of heaven and earth. After the Red Lotus Jade Buddha charged in, the eight heavenly dragons guarding the Jade Buddha barely lasted ten breaths before being crushed to powder by the calamity cloud and retransformed into primordial energy.

  "Born toothless, fortunately got the green lamp to accompany the ancient Buddha, a crystal ball, one world, the golden body transformed to cross the tribulation waves." In the sky, the voice of the toothless god monk suppressed the tribulation thunder, and only a deafening loud noise was heard, the tribulation clouds in the sky dispersed.

  The old monk in front of Bai Qi suddenly lowered his head and passed away.
