Great Lord: Buddha has mercy on us, evil spirits please stay away

Chapter 91: Changes in Lingshan (3k2, third update)

"Junior brother, are you having fun in the Endless Fire Region these days?"

In the exclusive audience seats for the Tongtian Ape Clan, Lu Shengjun and Ye Kong each sat on a recliner, holding a glass of juice in their hands, with parasols over their heads, dressed in casual clothes, watching the last round of alchemy.

There were blue sky and white clouds above his head, in front of him were alchemists with extraordinary skills performing their alchemy performances, and in his ears was the commentator Xiao Xiao who took over from the commentator Xiao Ye. Young Master Xiao Lin got used to the job of commentary quite quickly.

Ye Kong, who was on a rare vacation, took a sip of the juice, smacked his lips, and felt refreshed physically and mentally;
"Brother, you know me well. I rarely have a leisurely time. I have been here for more than a month, and only today can I relax."

"Hey, doesn't that make you seem more capable than me?"

Lu Shengjun was now very glad for his decision to bring Ye Kong back, and said with a smile:

“I have made some insignificant contributions to our clan, but these are not as much as what you have done in the past two years.
Do you want me to talk to the old man when I get back and I can create a special position for you? I can pay more for it."

"Brother, I am not very interested in money now. Let's think about how to coax the little princess first."

Ye Kong shook his head, you must be joking, now if he wants any Supreme Spiritual Liquid support, he only needs to write a report and ask you to sign a note;
The current Supreme Spirit Liquid is enough to ensure normal cultivation. Since you have already surpassed this lowest level of spiritual needs, you must have higher goals; such as leaving your name in history, making the world a better place, etc.

As for now, we must focus on the present and set a small goal first, to become the Supreme Heavenly Master within five years.

Lu Shengjun had no specific idea about how to coax a woman, and was about to tease Ye Kong for stumbling over this issue with women, when he heard Ye Kong say:
"Of course, getting a promotion and a raise is also what I pursue in life. When I become the Supreme Heavenly Master and coax that little princess into submission, I will probably ask the Ape King to make me an honorary chief elder."

"You, you, you haven't changed at all!"

Lu Shengjun put down the juice, stretched out a furry finger, smiled and tapped Ye Kong, as if he had thought of something, he changed the subject:
"By the way, I just heard that something big happened in the Buddhist sect. Do you want to hear about it?"

Ye Kong became more alert, turned around with shining eyes and asked:

"Could it be that because of his guilty conscience, Master Shi Zhen has gone too far in his cultivation and is about to die?"

"You kid... after all, he is our former master, we should at least give him a nice death. This death is too pathetic."

Lu Shengjun smiled and shook his head, his expression became much more serious:

"I heard that the foolish uncle Shi Luo had a fight with the old monk Shi Ku half a month ago, and severely injured Shi Ku. He himself was captured by the old monk Shi Zhen and ordered to return to the Vajra Courtyard to stay in seclusion and not go out for ten years."

"He beat up that old man Shi Ku, the abbot of Bodhi Temple? He finally couldn't bear it anymore?" Ye Kong's face changed when he heard this.

Daling Mountain has six main temples, in addition to the Wanfo Zhengdao Temple, which is run by the mountain master.

They are the Dharma Courtyard, which specializes in teaching Buddhist monks to practice, the Vajra Courtyard, which is responsible for killing and protecting Lingshan, the Bodhi Courtyard, which specializes in cultivating natural treasures and enshrining the Bodhi tree, the Medicine King Courtyard, which refines elixirs and saves thousands of monks, the Discipline Courtyard, which is in charge of the Lingshan precepts, and the Relic Courtyard, which enshrines the relics and titles of the Buddhas and does not care about worldly affairs on weekdays.

Each of the abbots of the six academies has the cultivation level of a supreme immortal. Shi Luo, who is known as the King of Vajra and serves as the chief protector of Lingshan, is recognized as the strongest of the six academy masters, while Shi Ku's strength ranks behind among the six.

However, because he is in charge of enshrining the Bodhi tree, his status is actually higher than that of Shi Luo; after all, Kongoin, in layman's terms, is a martial monk who is good at fighting but not good at Buddhist scriptures.

Not only is Shi Luo recognized as the strongest among the six abbots in terms of combat power, but his level of knowledge of Buddhist scriptures is also recognized as the "best" among the six. For this reason, he is often laughed at by the other abbots, and he is particularly at odds with Shi Ku.

"Yes, it is that old man Shi Ku. The strange thing is that Shi Ku's strength seems to have improved a lot compared to before. When we left two years ago, he was still a mid-level immortal level Heavenly Supreme, but now he is already a late-level immortal level."

There was a deep look in Lu Shengjun's golden eyes, which contained an inexplicable meaning.

Ye Kong frowned and thought:
"That old fellow has been stuck in the middle stage of the Immortal Realm for over a hundred years. It is not impossible for him to break through in one day. Could it be that Senior Brother thinks there is something fishy behind this? Or, he also..."

"It's hard to say, but I always feel something is wrong. It is said that this time it was Shi Ku who took the initiative to go to the Vajra Temple to find Shi Luo. Not long after the two talked, Shi Luo's Vajra roar was heard from the mountain, and then the two started fighting..."

Lu Shengjun stroked the golden hair on his head and continued:
"Given the cautious character of old Shi Ku, he has always been a talker and never took action. He has never accepted Shi Luo's challenge, let alone given Shi Luo the opportunity to take action against him.

This time, no one knew what had happened. When Shi Luo wanted to fight him, he not only did not run away, but took the initiative to fight back. It is said that he knocked down dozens of Buddhist mountains. This pissed off old Shi Zhen so much that he put both of them in solitary confinement. "

"Then...what about the Vajra protectors from Vajra Academy who went down the mountain to slay demons? How are they doing now?" Ye Kong's face showed deep worry.

Lu Shengjun's face was shrouded in gloom, and he whispered:

"After Shi Luo was suppressed, old man Shi Zhen ordered the Medicine King Academy's head Shi Qing and the Discipline Academy's head Shi Fa to personally lead the team with his Lingshan Order to recall the Vajra Dharma Protectors; but those who did not respond were suppressed by the two academy heads."

Ye Kong understood, and his face turned pale:

"Haha, in that case, the Holy Buddha Continent will soon be peaceful, right? Can Lingshan continue to be a holy place?" "There is nothing we can do about it. Didn't we expect this a long time ago? Lingshan has come to this point. How much can Master Shi Luo do no matter how powerful he is?"

Lu Shengjun spoke in a low voice, looking up at the sun in the sky, and said faintly:

"But it's good, it can be regarded as a way for you and I to completely give up on Lingshan. We will settle the matter together one day!"

……

Lingshan, Kongoyuan.

Shi Luo, with his body covered in black blood and his robe torn, sat quietly cross-legged on a cushion, with no one beside him, chanting the "Nirvana Sutra" in a low voice.

There were many unwashed bloodstains on his old face, and his eye sockets were burst and dripping with black blood.

Suddenly, a light sigh sounded in the empty Zen room, and an old monk with white eyebrows walked behind Shi Luo. He frowned slightly, as if he did not expect that Shi Luo still looked so miserable after half a month.

"Junior brother, you are one of the seven temple masters of this mountain, why are you so simple? Although this mountain adheres to the way of asceticism, it is not so poor that your monk's robe will be too short."

A brand new bright red monk's robe flew out from the hands of the white-browed old monk and landed next to Shi Luo, who looked at it with disdain and continued to recite scriptures.

Seeing Shi Luo's attitude, Shi Zhen was not angry. He waved out the extremely pure Buddha light from his palm to heal Shi Luo.

"Get out of here, you bastard!"

Shi Luo stopped reciting the scriptures, and endured the pain to disperse the Buddha's light from Shi Zhen. His face looked extremely ferocious with scars all over it, and he glared at Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen looked directly into Shi Luo's eyes, his face still peaceful, and spoke slowly:
“Junior brother, after all, you and I are fellow disciples who have practiced together since childhood. You have worked with me for such a long time, you should know my character.

No matter what, I will not do anything to you; I am locking you up this time just to calm you down."

Shi Luo glared at Shi Zhen and stared at his face.

“Hehe! Senior Brother Shi Zhen is so compassionate to our disciples, but I wonder if he has ever shown compassion to the people outside this mountain?!”

Shi Zhen had no guilt on his face, and looked at Shi Luo openly:
"There is an endless world outside the mountain. Even if Lingshan has this intention, how much can we do? Aren't there many affiliated forces with their own ulterior motives on this Holy Buddha Continent?

On the surface, they submit to Lingshan and regard Lingshan as the orthodox Buddhist sect, but what they really think inside is impossible for you and me to know!"

"I have personally killed many demons, and have been admired by the people. But now I think that, apart from some false reputation, it has no meaning to this mountain."

At this point, Master Shi Zhen's face became excited, his cloudy eyes shot out a piercing light, and the old hand's veins bulged, and he said angrily:

"Our purpose is to spread Buddhism and save all sentient beings. I once believed that the world could be saved. In the past, I even went beyond the Holy Buddha Continent to go to more distant places to spread Buddhism and kill evil spirits!

But only if you truly understand them, truly hide your cultivation, and get along with them as an ordinary cultivator, will you understand how ignorant and despicable those people are! No matter how profound the Buddhist teachings are, they cannot save the evil thoughts in their hearts!
Over time, if Lingshan does too much, they will just take it for granted. If Lingshan does too little, or fails to act in time, they will think it is our fault, and even...even resent us!"

"My Lingshan is also one of the most powerful forces in the universe. Why don't they dare to resent those demons who have hurt them, dare not resent other top forces, but only dare to resent us?!"

Shi Zhen was so angry that he beat his chest, his eyes were like burning stars, and his momentum was overwhelming;
"Junior brother, do you know how grateful those people were to Shengjun and Kong'er when he wiped out the evil spirits? I haven't seen such a grateful look for a long time.

Five years ago, I also changed my appearance to talk with those people. They all said that my two silly disciples were the true Buddhas who came to the world and were destined to save all living beings from dire straits. When they talked about Lingshan, they were even more respectful and did not dare to blaspheme in the slightest!

How ironic is this? Huh? Hahahaha..."

Shi Zhen laughed loudly and continued:
"When the evil that hurts them comes from other people, they dare to blame Lingshan for not saving them immediately; but when the evil comes from Lingshan and lasts for a long time, they dare not blame it at all. What kind of Buddhist principle do you think this is?"

"Since these sentient beings are not worthy of our salvation, why should we waste our efforts? How can my disciples of Lingshan die in vain for them?!
How many of my fellow disciples and fellow apprentices have died because of these meaningless things. Do you know how much pain I feel in my heart?"

After hearing these words, Shi Luo closed his eyes. After a long while, he spoke again and said loudly to Shi Zhen who was about to leave behind him:

"Shi Luo's Buddhist teachings are poor, and I don't know how to respond to my elder brother's words; someday someone will come to look for you.

But I would like to ask you, Senior Brother, why is there evil energy in the Bodhi Tree? ! "
