Chapter 266 How can one find both ways in this world? (Part 1)

The girl looked at Wei Yuan as he placed the cylinder as if he were operating a machine, completely bewildered, having no idea what Wei Yuan was doing.

Just as we were getting ready, the wolf demons arrived at the door.

With a bang, a flying sword shot out from the cylinder, piercing through three wolf demons. It was a pity that in order to hold more flying swords, all of these flying swords were without handguards; otherwise, they could have carried the wolf demons backward or created even larger wounds.

As expected, real-world experience is the best teacher; after playing just one round, Hou Yuan had a direction for improvement.

The wolf demon was incredibly agile and fearless, charging forward wave after wave, forcing Wei Yuan to continuously channel his Dao power into it.

Bang bang bang!

A continuous roar echoed above the village as flying swords, like a storm, swept down swarms of wolf demons. In the blink of an eye, the flying swords inside the cylinder were all fired, and there were no more wolf demons standing outside.

For the first time, Wei Yuan directly experienced what sustained firepower meant.

"We have to go!" Wei Yuan grabbed the girl and hoisted her onto his shoulder, then escaped through the back door. The girl struggled, begging Wei Yuan to put her down, saying she could walk by herself. But she immediately received a slap on the bottom and then became obedient.

Stepping out of the house, Wei Yuan looked up at the sky and saw the door again. The door now stood facing the back mountain, still tightly closed, and began to exude a deep, eerie aura.

More golden light appeared in the sky, making Wei Yuan feel increasingly uneasy.

After careful consideration, Wei Yuan decided to rely on his instincts and run towards the back of the mountain.

In front of the small temple, Yue Sheng looked at the silent and motionless Lian Xin, seemingly in a good mood, and said: "In the end of the Dharma's propagation, how can you, by your own strength, stop the collapse of the entire world? If your immaculate golden body opens a crack, I can destroy it completely. You can call me insidious and despicable, but in the words of Buddha, who knows if it is not that your immaculate golden body is out of step with the times and deserves to be destroyed?"
Just as the slow-running sheep are eaten by wolves, and the slow-running wolves starve to death, in this world, only the fittest survive. Your impeccable golden body is outdated!

The monk remained unmoved.

Yue Sheng smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't accept it. It's alright, we have plenty of time. We'll take it one step at a time."

By this time, his wolf demons had scattered to various places, capturing villagers. The villagers finally realized the danger; about ten people fled, but most remained bewildered and stood still, hoping for the mage's help.

At Yue Sheng's command, a warrior dragged out a woman and drew his sword to strike! The woman screamed in terror and collapsed to the ground. But then, golden light emanated from her body, deflecting the sword back.

As the woman's shock subsided, her temper flared. She pointed at Yue Sheng's nose and began to hurl insults, such as calling the white wolf a degenerate species and Yue Sheng a son of a bitch.

Moon Saint's hand was already on the hilt of the sword, but she forcibly let go of it one by one.

He turned to Lianxin and said, "The people you protect, though crude and uncultured, are truly eloquent when they curse, far more so than you when you preach. You should really learn from them after you are reincarnated."

The monk said nothing.

Moon Saint beckoned, and a wolf demon grabbed the woman and slapped her across the face, making her spit out several teeth! The woman was in pain and stunned, and didn't even dare to scream.

All the villagers were stunned. They let out a shout, trying to run away, but found themselves surrounded by wolf demons on all sides.

Yue Sheng brought San Kui and his wife over and placed them in the center of the square in front of the temple. He looked at San Kui with interest and asked, "You want to be the village chief?"

San Kui's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard, saying, "...I've been thinking about it for a long time."

"Why do you want to be the village chief?"

"Once I become the village chief, everyone has to listen to me. I can scold whoever I want, and hit whoever I want. Everyone has to greet me when they see me. If they're slow or not respectful enough, I'll hit them! Uh, no, what if they're cursing me in their hearts? If I find out who's secretly cursing me, I'll beat them up!"

San Kui was hesitant at first, but he spoke faster and faster, clearly having been thinking about these things for a long time.

A faint smile appeared on Yue Sheng's lips as she continued, "Then how do you know if they're cursing you in their hearts?"

San Kui was stunned; this question had truly stumped him. But he quickly came up with an answer: "I'll look at their eyes! If their eyes are wrong, they're definitely cursing me."

"Some people are very good at acting and disguising themselves. You might not be able to tell the difference, so what do you do?"

San Kui scratched his head, then his face turned fierce, and he said, "Then I'll find an excuse to beat everyone up every now and then, and there won't be any mistakes!"

Yue Sheng's smile widened as she coaxed, "Of course, there are bound to be mistakes too!"

San Kui said fiercely, "I'm the village chief! So what if I hit the wrong person? They still have to suffer the consequences!"

Yue Sheng laughed and said, "That makes perfect sense, you're the right person to be the village chief! But even if you become the village chief, it's not your place to give orders." San Kui's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said, "Who dares? Nobody in this village can beat me!"

Yue Sheng didn't argue with him, pointed at the fierce woman, and said, "Her."

San Kui instinctively shrank back.

"You could take on two of her with one hand in a fight. In an argument, besides her loud voice and fast speech, she can't really win an argument with you logically. Why are you afraid of her?"

San Kui stammered, unable to speak.

Yue Sheng continued, "You're the village chief now, can't you change your wife? I think that one is pretty good."

Yue Sheng pointed at a woman in the village. She was only in her early twenties, the prime of her life, with a touch of beauty and a captivating charm in her eyes. Her rounded body, encased in cloth, was the desire of many men in the village. The village chief had often disciplined her, his cane frequently striking her thighs and buttocks.

San Kui's eyes lit up: "Can I really become the village chief?"

"I say you are, so you are! But if you want a new wife, you'll have to kill your old one."

The fierce woman screamed, "You eggless bastard, how dare you?!"

San Kui suddenly said, "If I were to exchange wives, I'd want Xiao Ru! The one who ran away!"

Moon Saint chuckled: "What a grand ambition! Okay."

San Kui gripped his hunting knife tightly, gritted his teeth, and asked again, "Can I have this woman too?"

"Of course a man can have three wives and four concubines!"

A ruthless glint flashed across San Kui's face. He swung his hunting knife up and down, blood spurting out. He swung it again and down, and even though the fierce woman was already out of breath, he still managed to slash her twice more.

He wiped the blood splattered on his face and said viciously to the corpse, "I've put up with you for a very, very long time!"

With a crack, another crack appeared on the Buddha statue, and even more water seeped in.

Moon Saint came to the monk and said, "Just watch. You have led them to cultivate for thousands of years. It will only take me a moment to break your golden body."

He said to the remaining villagers, "Now that we have a village chief, you have one less chance to live. So you must listen carefully to what I have to say and think it over seriously, only then will you have a chance to survive."

Moon Saint then ordered, "Break everyone's left leg."

The wolf demons immediately attacked, and screams filled the area in front of the temple.

Then Yue Sheng asked, "Who still believes in monks, who are devoted to Buddhism, and who is willing to share the suffering of reincarnation with them?"

This time, only three people raised their hands tremblingly.

Moon Saint continued, "Break everyone's right leg. But whoever kills these three people can keep their own right leg!"

Seeing the wolf demon closing in, the villagers suddenly shouted and pounced on the three people, and in the blink of an eye, blood was everywhere.

There were twelve or thirteen people who rushed forward, and then they argued and fought over who had killed whom.

Moon Saint was very satisfied, laughed heartily, and said, "No need to argue anymore, keep your right legs! Haha, haha!"

The cracks on the Buddha statue became more numerous and larger, and a faint black aura began to appear on its golden body.

Yue Sheng patted San Kui and said, "Didn't you want to know who's cursing you in their hearts? Actually, it's easy. The monk has a mental technique that, once he teaches you, will allow you to know what other people are thinking."

San Kui was both surprised and delighted: "Is there really such a method?"

The monk sighed and finally spoke: "If I were to teach you this method, this place would turn into a purgatory of pagodas."

San Kui was immediately enraged and cursed, "So you really do know it, but you won't teach me? You only taught me a method, and now this place has become a hell? You're full of lies! You bald thief, you've eaten so many of my offerings, aren't you afraid your intestines will rot through!"
