Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 304: Joining the Green Lantern Corps

In the towering Wutai Sect, the Main Hall stands solemnly, with the vermilion door of the hall open, revealing an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Incense smoke curls up in the hall, and Buddha statues look down on the world with compassion. The faint candlelight flickers in the darkness, illuminating everything around.

"Li Yingqi?" An old and somewhat vicissitudes of life voice came from the depths of the Great Hall. As the words fell, a faint spiritual consciousness, like a soft silk thread, slowly probed towards Li Yingqi's direction.

After a moment, the voice suddenly rose, full of surprise: "Is he really the disciple of Emei, the successor of Tianji Sword, Li Yingqi?"

Li Yingqi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her heart, and asked softly: "Master Zunsheng, what makes you like this?" Her words were still floating in the air, and before they completely fell, they were interrupted by a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps.

The doors on both sides of the main hall were suddenly pushed open, and two rows of monks in grey robes rushed out like a tide!
The monk walking in the front had a serious expression and an unquestionable majesty in his eyes. He suddenly raised his arm, pointed at Li Yingqi, and shouted, "How dare you, Li Yingqi! You actually brought evil cultivators from the outside world to Wutai Sect. Do you know your crime?"

Before Li Yingqi could open his mouth to refute, Fang Yu, who had been standing quietly by the side, slowly raised his head and looked directly at the monks in front of him without fear. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm, he said coldly: "What a joke! The world is so big, the universe is so vast, what right do you have to say that I am an evil cultivator from the outside world? What kind of evil am I cultivating? Can you define good and evil?"

A burly monk, holding a thick stick, rushed to Fang Yu with eyes wide open like a mad beast. He raised the stick high and smashed it down on Fang Yu's head, roaring: "Bold evil cultivator! How dare you make trouble at the gate of Wutai Sect! Give me your life!"

Fang Yu's eyes shone, and he dodged the blow easily. The anger in his heart was instantly ignited, and he shouted at the monk, "You want to kill someone just by opening your mouth? It seems that Wutai Sect is just a place of trouble under the cover of Buddha's halo. I'm afraid that if people climb up the mountain gate, they still have to pay entrance fees? I don't even want to recite this sutra!"

The monk was not discouraged when his blow failed. Instead, he was aroused to fight even more. He shouted, "You deserve a beating! Take my blow!"

"Shame on you!" Fang Yu said as he was about to punch him. Monk Zunsheng's voice came from afar like a loud bell: "Wait! What did you say? Chanting?"

Fang Yu dodged the stick and shouted back, "I wanted to understand the Buddha's teachings, change the evil in your mouths, and practice the so-called righteous path. I wanted to see what your so-called righteous path is, but you didn't give me a chance! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and persuading evil people to do good is even greater than saving a life! Today, I will not recite this broken sutra!"

As he spoke, his hands danced quickly. At the same time, his mouth opened slightly, and you could faintly see the blazing flames contained within. If nothing unexpected happened, the flames would burst out in the next second and burn the monk in front of him to a single hair.

"Wait!!!" Master Zunsheng flew out from the main hall. He looked anxious. His originally calm face was now full of tension and concern. He stared straight at Fang Yu, "Tell me, are you ready to turn over a new leaf and become a monk?"

Fang Yu heard this and a half-smile appeared on his face. "I have heard that in some places, even if a person has committed the most heinous crimes, once he becomes a monk and devotes himself to Buddhism, his past deeds will be forgiven. Why? Wutai Sect won't accept a person like me who has committed such heinous crimes? It's said that everyone has the opportunity to recite the sutras!"

"You! Do you really want to become a monk?"

When the other monks heard Master Zunsheng's question, they were immediately shocked.

An elderly monk stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said to Master Zunsheng anxiously: "Master, you must not do this! This person is an evil cultivator, and his habits are hard to change. How can we easily accept him? The pure place of Buddhism must not be defiled by him. If you let a wolf into the house, there will be endless troubles!"

The other monks also echoed and tried to dissuade him. Their faces were full of worry and determination, as if Fang Yu was the most evil person in the world and must not set foot in Buddhism.

Master Zunsheng frowned, looking back and forth at Fang Yu, his expression full of confusion.

He knew very well that Buddhism is based on compassion and should save all living beings, but what the monks said was not without reason. Accepting a person who was identified as a heretic might indeed bring unknown risks to the Wutai Sect.

Fang Yu looked at the stalemate, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he let out a mocking smile, then he held his head high and said loudly: "Everyone, you all think that I am an evil cultivator, but who really knows my past and understands my true heart? What does it mean that Baimei indirectly and directly killed 17 of my companions who had gone through life and death for his own selfish desires? If I didn't have the means to resist, I would have become nothing but a wisp of smoke by now!"

"Besides, I originally wanted to come here to chant Buddha and eat vegetarian food, but now even if you ask me to do so, I will seriously consider it!"

When the monks heard this, they immediately laughed angrily, "Hahaha! What nonsense are you talking about, you evil cultivator! How could our Wutai Sect possibly accept a fellow like you!"

Monk Zunsheng waved his hand, "Let him speak!"

Fang Yu snorted coldly and crossed his arms: "There is a small country in the west called Kosala."

"There are five hundred bandits who have taken over the mountains and are now kings of the country. They burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil. Wherever they go, the people suffer. Villages and towns are all in chaos, and conflicts with the government are becoming increasingly fierce."

Fang Yu paced as he spoke, "King Prasenajit could no longer tolerate this, so he sent out his best soldiers to encircle and suppress the bandits. Although the five hundred bandits were extremely fierce, they were outnumbered and were defeated and captured. The king was furious and sentenced them to have their eyes gouged out. He then exiled them to the mountains and forests, where they struggled in agony. Blind, they groped in the dark, and their miserable cries echoed throughout the mountains and forests."

"When Sakyamuni Buddha learned about this, he felt compassion. He used his great supernatural powers to blow the miraculous medicine of Xiangshan into the robbers' eyes, which not only restored their sight, but also opened their minds with the Dharma and illuminated their dark hearts."

"Under the Buddha's compassionate teachings, the five hundred robbers finally realized their mistakes, and the evil thoughts in their hearts were completely dispelled. They put down their butcher knives, sincerely repented, and resolutely converted to Buddhism. From then on, they devoted themselves to practice, and finally achieved the right result and became the five hundred Arhats!"

When the monks heard this, they were all stunned!

Because what Fang Yu said was indeed what was recorded in the Buddhist scriptures!
Li Yingqi looked at Fang Yu with a bewildered look on her face. Like Zhao Yingkong, she had never seen Fang Yu so knowledgeable.

Fang Yu snorted coldly: "Even such evil robbers, the Buddhist sect has never given up and given them a chance to reform. I am devoted to Buddhism, why are you unwilling to accept me?"

Fang Yu stopped and looked at everyone present with a determined look. "And there is also Angulimala, who was bewitched by an evil teacher and, in order to seek the so-called 'enlightenment', he roamed around outside the city of Savatthi, killing people crazily, and strung people's fingers into garlands to wear. He became a feared murderous devil, causing panic in the entire country! Just when he was about to kill his own mother to make up the number of kills, the Buddha appeared!"

"The Buddha enlightened him with his supreme wisdom and compassion. Angulimala immediately repented, put down the sharp blade in his hand, and became a monk with the Buddha. Later, he devoted himself to practice and eventually became a great monk!"

Fang Yu looked at the monks coldly, "There are countless examples like this!" His voice carried a power that could not be ignored, as if it could break through the barrier of rejection towards him in everyone's hearts.

"Besides, did I do anything wrong? That White Eyebrow killed my companion, and I am full of righteousness, why can't I take revenge? Just because that Emei is holding up the banner of justice, and I am against it, I am an evil cultivator!?"

Fang Yu stopped and looked at everyone present with a determined look. "Buddhism has never given up on those who are stingy, stubborn, murderous, and even those who want to kill their loved ones. We sincerely convert them and help them reform!"

"Although you regard me as an evil cultivator, my determination to become a Buddhist is evident to all. Why can't you give me a chance to enter Buddhism and turn over a new leaf?"

"Whatever!" Fang Yu waved his hand and walked towards the mountain gate. "This temple may look big, but the people are small and can't accommodate me!"

Master Zunsheng had a solemn expression and deep eyes. The Buddhist stories that Fang Yu told were like heavy hammers, hitting his heart again and again, forcing him to re-examine the young man in front of him who was defined as an "evil cultivator".

"What you said..." Just as Master Zunsheng was immersed in thought, a thin monk next to him holding a ruler suddenly burst into a shrill laugh.

The laughter broke the originally tense and depressing atmosphere and seemed particularly abrupt.

The monk laughed and waved his ruler vigorously in the air a few times, shouting, "What an evil cultivator! How can he come up with such a perverse theory! Humph, it's simply ridiculous! Discipline Hall, listen to my order, activate the Ten Dharma Array! We must take down this evil cultivator today and never let him run wild in the gate of my Wutai Sect!"

Following his order, the monks who were originally standing around took action instantly.

With determined eyes and neat steps, they quickly surrounded Fang Yu, Li Yingqi and Zhao Yingkong.

When Fang Yu heard this, he was not afraid at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

He slowly raised his hands and made the starting posture of "Come and Meet the Thousand Hands Kill".

In an instant, a powerful aura surged out from his body, and the air around him seemed to tremble!
Behind him, a brilliant golden light suddenly lit up, and in the light, a lifelike image of Guanyin slowly emerged!

This statue of Guanyin had kind eyes and a peaceful face, and it exuded a soft and warm golden glow! A golden halo shone brightly, illuminating the entire entrance of the mountain like daylight.

When the monks saw this scene, they were stunned.

Their originally determined eyes were now filled with shock and confusion. Some monks even stopped unconsciously, and the staffs in their hands began to tremble slightly.

They could never have imagined that this young man, whom they regarded as an evil cultivator, could actually cast such sacred magic!
Master Zunsheng's eyes widened with disbelief. His lips trembled slightly as he muttered to himself, "This! This is!"

With Master Zunsheng's cultivation level, the two palms he struck with all his strength could only cause damage from a distance, far from reaching the realm of "transformation".

However, Fang Yu could easily raise his hand and summon the virtual image of Guanyin, which showed that Fang Yu had a very high talent in Buddhism and was very likely to be a rare Buddhist genius!
Master Zunsheng's heart was like a pot of mixed emotions, with all kinds of emotions intertwined. On the one hand, he was shocked and amazed at the powerful Buddhist Dharma displayed by Fang Yu, and on the other hand, he remembered Baimei's conclusion that this young man was an "evil cultivator."

He was in a state of extreme entanglement, and couldn't help but wonder: Can evil practitioners really be recognized by the Buddha? Is Fang Yu in front of him a "good man" who has gone astray, or is there another hidden story?

Before Master Zunsheng could finish his consideration, Fang Yu, who was still holding the "Come and Welcome - Thousand Hands Killing" gesture, actually stopped maintaining the Guanyin phantom. As the phantom disappeared, he said calmly, "Forget it!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without any trace of nostalgia at all!
If Fang Yu had said a few more words, Master Zunsheng would not have been so unhappy.

The most unpleasant thing is this "forget it".

The tone of disappointment in Master Zunsheng was too harsh, like a hammer hitting Master Zunsheng's chest.

A young monk looked anxious: "Master! That evil cultivator is about to leave! Should we notify the Emei Sect? We must not let such an evil cultivator escape!"

"Yes, Master! Say something!"

After hearing the urging from his disciples, Master Zunsheng finally made a decision.

"Young man, please stay! I see that we have a great affinity for each other. Would you be willing to put aside your past grudges and discuss Buddhism with me in this small temple?"

Fang Yu stopped walking and forced a harmless smile, "Sure."

SUP Apartment, like a fortress corroded by darkness and decay, stands in the corner of this sinful city.

Bruce Yu dragged his body, which felt as heavy as lead, and staggered towards the old house where he had lived for more than ten years.

He wants to say goodbye to his past.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the clown's voice in the next room saying sorry over and over again, accompanied by the sound of slapping from time to time.

Although Bruce Yu had never been married, when he heard that even a character as strong as the Joker had to bow to his wife, he instantly respected any man who dared to get married.

Sitting on the sofa, Bruce Yu closed his eyes and recalled the things that happened in Gotham before the memory was synchronized.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt his body become light, as if he was flying!

Open your eyes!

really!

He's in the wormhole!

After passing through the wormhole, he was spit out onto the planet OA again!
Looking at the wormholes that kept appearing around him and the various Green Lanterns, Bruce Yu had a bad idea in his mind!
He quickly stopped a two-headed ogre Green Lantern next to him, "Brother! What happened! Why were everyone called back?"

The two-headed ogre, one of the green ones didn't seem to have a very good brain, and shouted, "It's time for lunch!"

The other blue brain seemed much more normal, "There must be a war!"

"Fight!? With whom?"

"I don't know. I heard they were going to something, some Apocalypse or something."

"Apocalypse!?" Bruce Yu looked at the little blue man phantom floating in the air and cursed: "This is Shabi Peak!"
