Chapter 53: Chapter 52: If it’s this kind of arrangement, I (Taoist) will not refuse!
Translator: 549690339
Such a genuine display of emotion made everyone take notice.
It even triggered the memories of the Black Dragon Pool’s Water God among the Four Little Gods, reminding this god, who had transformed from a snake to his current dragon form, of the hardships he had experienced.
If it wasn’t for his willingness to become a Water God for a region, he would have been skinned, tendon removed, and had his Devil Core taken long ago. It’s important to know that a demon with dragon blood, but without a dragon clan background, is unimaginably attractive.
Even the little people have dignity, and they can also stand up for themselves.
Even if it offended Guanyin Dashi, Boss Black Bear was not an evil creature, neither was he an evil creature by cultivating from a snake to a dragon.
The Black Dragon Pool’s Water God gritted his teeth and left the corner where the four little gods were huddled, silently standing behind the Black Bear Essence.
Such a scene…
It caught the attention of Gentleman Bai She, who didn’t expect his little god neighbor to have such a tough side.
At this moment…
Guanyin’s originally emotionless face also showed some changes.
Even she didn’t expect that the Black Bear Essence, who was somewhat frivolous and came from humble beginnings, to be so tough.
Not only did he refuse her offer as a great figure in Buddhism, but he even dared to fire back.
After a moment of silence…
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed deeply and said softly, “Since you are unwilling, this poor monk will not force you. However, it is a pity… a pity that you will miss such an opportunity!”
Then…
“You Taoist are quite strange too. 1 want to ask you, what is your relationship with the deceased Taoist on Five Elements Mountain?”
Her tone was still indifferent, as if she was completely unaffected by the Black Bear Essence just now.
Or perhaps she, Guanyin Bodhisattva, never cared about Xuanqing and the others from the beginning.
However…
At this moment, Xuanqing’s anger had already risen three feet high.
It’s true that cultivators have a clear and quiet mind, but that’s because you haven’t provoked them.
In fact, cultivators pay more attention to following their hearts and speaking and acting with sincerity, cultivating their true selves, so they are also called “true cultivators.”
“Guanyin, you have asked me so many questions. May I also ask you something?” Xuanqing’s eyes narrowed a bit.
At this moment, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he was not even willing to suppress it. The worst that could happen was a random resurrection.
“Oh? What is it that you do not understand?” Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly surprised and asked with interest.
However…
The words Xuanqing said next surprised everyone.
“It is rumored that you, a saintly Bodhisattva of Buddhism, to gain the faith of sentient beings, have made yourself a mix of yin and yang, hard to distinguish between male and female. Is it true… or false?”
Xuanqing had a smile at the corner of his mouth, searching with his eyes boldly.
At this statement…
Boom-
A bolt of lightning from a clear sky.
Venerable Mo Ke’s eyes were about to pop out, followed by a wall of rage.
“Insolent demon, Guanyin Bodhisattva is not someone you can slander, die!”
Having said that…
Mo Ke Jiedi’s aura suddenly erupted, his hands shining with golden light, intending to slay the madman in front of him on the spot.
“Sir, be careful!”
“Sir!”
Boss Black Bear did not hesitate to stand in front of Xuanqing, while White Snake Young Lord, after a slight hesitation, also stood in front of Xuanqing.
Seeing this scene…
“Mo Ke Jiedi, do you remember greed, anger, delusion, rage…”
At these words…
The raging Mo Ke Jiedi suddenly shivered and sobered up.
He hurriedly dispersed the golden light in his hands, clasped them together, and closed his eyes, constantly chanting as if he was washing away the greed, anger, delusion, and rage in his heart…
When it comes to superficial skills, Buddhism is the best. Even when their hearts are filled with anger, their faces remain calm and composed.
For example…
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva not only showed an unconcerned look but also scolded Mo Ke Jiedi by her side.
“Such a compassionate and merciful Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva we have here,
I admire that. However, this Five Thunder Judge Temple is not welcoming you,” said Xuanqing with a cold sneer.
To be honest,
If he had enough power, he would rather slap the other party directly and then, grab the collar, asking why their face was so thick.
But now, his strength was insufficient, and even if he was furious, he could only take the upper hand verbally.
“As I answered your earlier question, all forms are illusory, and all phenomena are like dreams, illusions, and shadows.”
“Since you do not welcome me, this poor monk should leave!”
“As I have upset you today, and it is my fault, 1 noticed that you had just established a temple, so I shall grant you a drop of Jade Dew as a congratulatory gift.”
With that said,
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, took out the willow branches from the sheep fat jade cleansing bottle, and sprinkled a drop of the crystal-clear Jade Dew with her right hand.
In an instant,
the fragrance filled the air.
The spiritual Qi inside the Main Hall increased dozens of times in density. Just by breathing it in, one could feel a sense of cultivation growth.
After leaving a drop of Jade Dew,
The golden lotus auspicious cloud under Guanyin’s feet turned into a stream of light, flying away into the distance.
“Bodhisattva?”
Mo Ke Jiedi was uncertain, but Guanyin Bodhisattva had already left first, and he could only take a final look at the Jade Dew before he also rose into the sky, following the Bodhisattva.
At this moment,
Inside the Great Hall,
Everyone was stunned. They originally thought it was an impending disaster, but didn’t expect this outcome.
Even Xuanqing was surprised,
He even wondered in his heart whether Buddhism’s magnanimity was so great and that he had misjudged Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Otherwise, how could she not only remain calm in the face of his humiliating words but also offer him a drop of Jade Dew?
However, when his gaze fell on the Jade Dew floating in the air, he dispelled the idea in his heart.
[Jade Dew]: Contains extremely pure innate energy. Absorbing it can significantly increase cultivation, but it is wrapped in thick Buddhism incense power, running the risk of falling into the thoughts of sentient beings.
As expected!
Xuanqing shook his head.
How could such a person, who could casually snatch someone’s faith while belittling others, be so magnanimous?
However,
If Guanyin had used something else to deal with Xuanqing, given his current weak state, he probably would have had no choice but to comply.
But!
This wonderful thing, merely wrapped in the incense power of Buddhism, wanted him – a Taoist – to fall into sentient beings’ thoughts.
This idea was a mistake.
With this thought,
Xuanqing held the Jade Dew in his hand, and with just his skin touching it, he felt a subtle sense of breakthrough in his cultivation.
“Sir, be careful, there may be a trick!”
This move startled both Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She, who tried to stop him simultaneously.
But Xuanqing waved his hand, looking indifferent.
That’s because a system prompt had already sounded in his head.
[Ding- The incense power is blocked by the innate energy, recharge failed!]
As can be seen from the system prompt, just by absorbing the surface of the Jade Dew, he could recharge the power of incense fire inside.
“Guanyin, Guanyin, I will accept your Jade Dew and incense power gladly!” Xuanqing chuckled lightly, and the anger in his heart also dissipated somewhat.”
If Guanyin tries to deal with him in this way, then he… will welcome it with open arms!
