Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 507 In the end, it all comes down to fists.
With rampant commercialization and the accumulation of wealth, it's inevitable that people's hearts will become restless, and how many can truly concentrate on chanting scriptures?
Moreover, he is also burdened by his reputation.

This time, Liu Feifei really gave them a rude awakening.

They promoted him, touting how amazing he was as an action star, only to have him beaten up by Liu Feifei.

The temple's experts went to settle scores, but they still got beaten up.

No one expected Liu Feifei to be so powerful, but most people probably still didn't expect that the Shaolin Temple's masters were like this.

When fame is too great, it is easy for it to backfire.

To restore its reputation, Shaolin Temple needs to not only manipulate public opinion but also defeat Liu Feifei.

Of course, the former is probably the key point.

Defeating Liu Feifei is now futile.

Many people even think that Shaolin lacks class and manners. A grown man losing to a girl, having to call his parents if he loses, and then having his parents call his relatives if they lose too—it's like a relentless battle.

Shameless.

“Ning Yun’s trip to Shaolin this time may involve more than just Shaolin; it could be the entire Buddhist community,” Li Liang said. “Aren’t you afraid they’ll get ganged up on?”

"Whether a fight will even break out is a question," Xu Yue said. "I sent Li Zihan along. If they really dare to gang up on us, next time it won't just be Ning Yun who goes."

Li Liang said nothing more.

Although Li Zihan is only a master of the third realm, she might not be able to help much if the other party gangs up on her.

At most, they could stop one of the four realms, but that wouldn't help.

But Li Zihan is Xu Yue's apprentice. If they ganged up on Xu Yue's apprentice, then Xu Yue would naturally have a reason to step in.

If he were to step forward, even if the entire Buddhist community joined forces, they probably wouldn't be enough to withstand his attack.

Perhaps, as Xu Yue said, a fight will never break out.

If Ning Yun demands an explanation and Shaolin provides one, then everyone will be happy.

But the key question is, will Shaolin give it to us?
They probably still see themselves as victims; if they were to actually give it to them, where would they put their pride?
Don't monks have any dignity?
They probably value it more than anyone else.

Because that face is related to their interests.

The idea that everything is meaningless is overthinking it.

Did they start fighting?
Naturally, a fight broke out.

Both Ning Yun and Xu Yue wanted to learn about the methods of Buddhism.

Ning Yun will naturally find an opportunity to make a move.

Monk Yande might also want to know about Ning Yun's methods, even though he had seen Ning Yun fight against experts from the Western Five Realms.

Seeing something and experiencing it firsthand are two completely different things.

He probably also wanted to use Ning Yun to compare himself with those Western Fifth Realm experts.

Yan De also cultivates both spiritual and martial arts, but his spiritual cultivation is much stronger than his martial arts cultivation.

Xu Yue had long seen through his situation, but he didn't know what methods Buddhism had, especially those after condensing the primordial spirit.

Ning Yun was going to Shaolin Temple, and he even released the news in advance, giving Shaolin Temple plenty of time.

Shaolin Temple closed its gates to prevent tourists from entering.

Whether they were afraid the public would find out they had been attacked, or whether they were afraid the attack would be too fantastical and have too great an impact, remains unknown.

When Liu Feifei and the two Shaolin monks fought, they only used martial arts techniques, which, in the eyes of the public, were simply kung fu.

What if she used supernatural powers?

That would have a huge impact.

After all, the authorities haven't yet made the public aware of these ideas.

Of course, if Liu Feifei really used it, it would probably be for "making a movie".

Shaolin Temple will no longer be troubled by this.

Losing in the movie won't affect Shaolin.

In the movies, Shaolin Temple is wiped out more than once or twice.

"Mr. Ning!"

Ning Yun encountered people from the Yuzhou Special Administration Bureau before he even reached the foot of the mountain.

And it was the bureau chief himself who came.

"Chen He, Director of the Yuzhou Special Administration Branch." Seeing Ning Yun's confusion, the man continued, "We should have met once before."

"Is the spiritual energy in Peach Blossom Village overwhelming?"

Ning Yun thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly.

This person probably didn't participate in the recent Reiki craze overseas.

As for the surge of spiritual energy in Peach Blossom Village, all the high-ranking officials from the Special Administration Bureau who had free time went there.

After all, it's much more convenient in China than abroad, so the number of people there is naturally larger.

However, there were too many people there that day, and Ning Yun didn't have any contact with them.

After Chen He reminded him, Ning Yun finally had a vague recollection of it.

"Director Chen wants to stop me from going up the mountain?"

Ning Yun looked at Chen He and asked.

Chen He immediately shook his head.

Are you kidding me? A mere third-realm nobody like him trying to stop a fifth-realm expert? What a waste of his time!

Is it under the guise of the Special Administration Bureau?
I doubt it would work with Ning Yun either.

To put it bluntly, he wasn't even qualified to be in front of Ning Yun.

To use the Special Administration Bureau's name to intimidate Ning Yun, one would need at least a regional leader like Jing Guohua, or a headquarters leader like Yan Tian.

In the past, those in the Three Realms were considered big shots.

Nowadays, it seems that none of the four realms dare to call themselves big shots anymore.

The world is changing too fast, and he's finding it hard to keep up.

“I will go up the mountain with you,” Chen He said. “I will not interfere in your affairs with Shaolin, but make sure no one dies and keep the impact within the cultivation world as much as possible.”

It's fine for some news to circulate in the secular world, but it can't be too specific.

It's not wrong to say that Master Liu Feifei supported him and suppressed the Shaolin Temple.

It can't be too specific.

The commotion caused by the Five Realms experts was too great and too fantastical.

That's beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

If they were seen, people would probably suspect they were cultivating immortality.

Chen He had never personally witnessed a Fifth Realm expert make a move, nor had he attended the friendly sparring session between Ning Yun and a Western expert.

However, there was video footage taken at the time, which was viewed by senior officials of their Special Administration Bureau, who even conducted a detailed analysis.

Chen He knew a little about how formidable Ning Yun was.

So what about Master Yande, the great master of the Five Realms Buddhist sect?
His methods must have been somewhat fantastical.

This naturally cannot be passed on to the secular world.

This was also the purpose of his accompanying the group.

Of course, they didn't go up the mountain beforehand, but instead went up with Ning Yun, simply to show their attitude.

The Special Administration Bureau is stationed in Ningyun this time.

This is not surprising at all.

It wasn't just because Ning Yun and his group were in the right this time; the main reason was that Ning Yun was from Taoyuan Village, and everyone knew about the relationship between Taoyuan Village and the Special Administration Bureau.

Moreover, the Special Administration Bureau already has considerable reservations about Buddhism.

The Special Administration Bureau's personnel are mostly from the military, followed by Taoists, and they cooperate extensively with various Taoist factions.

There are very few people in the Buddhist community.

It's not that the Special Administration Bureau doesn't want to, but that the Buddhist community is unwilling.

Those who live outside the secular world do not meddle in worldly affairs.

To many in the Special Administration, this reasoning was an insult.

Who is the most prominent figure in Buddhism?

That would be none other than Shaolin.

With Shaoshi Mountain closed, Ning Yun and his group could naturally go up there.

The people from Shaolin Temple wouldn't be so foolish as to stop him from going up.

The mountain was closed off to await Ning Yun and his group.

Of course, all they could do was close the temple and prevent tourists from entering.

The mountain can be closed off only because of the support from the Special Administration Bureau.

"Master Yande, I didn't expect you to have joined Shaolin?"

Upon seeing Yan De, Ning Yun immediately launched an attack.

Monk Yande was not from Shaolin Temple, but from Xiantong Temple of Qingmiao on Mount Wutai. "Amitabha," Yande chanted a Buddhist prayer, and said, "Shaolin is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism. Since Benefactor Ning has come, this humble monk, as a disciple of Zen Buddhism, naturally came as well."

You've already claimed the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, so what's wrong with me, a disciple of Zen, coming here?

"So, Master Yande, are you here to give me an explanation on behalf of Shaolin? Or are you here to settle a dispute?" Ning Yun asked. "You are a highly respected monk in Buddhism. How can you tell me that Shaolin is behaving this way? Do you have any moral character as a Buddhist monk?"

Monk Yande remained silent.

He naturally knew the truth of the matter.

They are in the wrong.

“Buddhist disciples, even lay disciples, harass women and even try to force themselves on them. When my disciple stopped them, they even attacked my disciple. Don’t even mention Buddhist disciples, any real man wouldn’t do such a thing.”

"After being reprimanded, he showed no remorse. Instead of punishing such a disciple, Shaolin even sent a master to attack him? Master Yande, tell me, is this the virtue of Shaolin, or the virtue of your Buddhist sect?"

Ning Yun was incredibly assertive and quite unforgiving, immediately launching into a full-blown attack, practically pointing his finger at Yan De and the others and cursing them to their noses.

As for Abbot Jue'an of Shaolin Temple, he didn't even glance at him.

Yan De, aren't you going to stand up for Shaolin?

Shaolin Temple would naturally not admit it.

It was all a misunderstanding.

Liu Feifei misunderstood the Shaolin disciple and was beaten for no reason. What's wrong with her asking her elders to stand up for her?

We're being lenient by not contacting you, yet you still come knocking on our door.

It was my Shaolin disciples who got beaten.

Ning Yun and the others were stunned by Shaolin's sophistry.

Does this work too?
“Master Jue An, didn’t you know that there was video footage taken at the time?”

Ning Yun couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Your blatant lies are truly eye-opening.

There's video evidence to prove it; do you still think it's just a matter of each side having its own version of the truth?

"With current science and technology, videos can also be faked."

Jue An said calmly.

This cannot be admitted.

After all, that's how public relations have always been done.

If they admit it, wouldn't all their previous public relations efforts have been for nothing?

The key issue is that it not only affects Shaolin's reputation, but also the reputation of Buddhism as a whole.

You can lose, but you can't admit defeat.

"Is this your explanation?"

Ning Yun didn't want to argue with them about who was right and who was wrong; it was pointless now.

When someone's skin becomes thick enough, even if you present them with irrefutable evidence, they still won't admit it.

"If Benefactor Ning does not believe this, he can ask the person involved."

Jue'an spoke, his words revealing great confidence.

Ning Yun knew the outcome without even having to think about it.

Liu Feifei, standing next to her, frowned.

Was she betrayed?
Which actress was won over by Shaolin?

However, her brows quickly relaxed, which is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

This is just a misunderstanding. Obviously, Shaolin has concerns. Otherwise, they might be falsely accused.

Liu Feifei, however, became increasingly disgusted with Shaolin and even Buddhism in general.

They came not so much to get an explanation, but rather to get a stance.

If they bow their heads and admit their mistakes, then the matter will be over.

In Liu Feifei's view, Ning Yunlai was more worried about her being retaliated against by Shaolin.

The main issue is that Shaolin continues to target her.

But Shaolin refused to admit their mistake, explaining it away as a misunderstanding. Did they think they were fools?

Not only was Ning Yun dissatisfied with this "explanation," but Liu Feifei also disagreed.

Has the matter been downplayed?

If they don't even acknowledge it, how can you try to cover it up?

“A misunderstanding is not the explanation I want,” Ning Yun said, shaking his head. “Master Yande, let’s settle this with our skills and see how confident Shaolin is in turning black into white.”

In his view, Shaolin's confidence stemmed from Yu Yande, a fifth-level master.

Otherwise, what gives them the right to do so?
Shaolin has become heavily commercialized, but it is still a sect of spiritual practice.

In the cultivation world, it's still all about who has the strongest fist.

Might makes right.

"Then this humble monk will have the pleasure of learning from Benefactor Ning's superior skills."

Monk Yande did not refuse.

This was entirely expected.

"Amitabha!"

Yan De took off the prayer beads from his chest, put his hands together, and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

"The Heart Sutra of the Perfection of Wisdom. When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Perfection of Wisdom..."

Yan De began reciting the Heart Sutra, and the Buddhist chants entered Ning Yun's ears, disturbing her mind.

"Humph!"

Ning Yun snorted coldly, directly breaking the Buddhist chant.

"Master Yande, please try my Yin-Yang Incantation!"

Ning Yun spoke casually, made a hand seal, and then pointed, a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram descended from the sky, instantly covering Monk Yan De.

This was clearly Ning Yun sparring with a Western magician, but without actually using his supernatural abilities.

Monk Yande continued chanting the Heart Sutra, but the Buddha seal transformed into swastikas, which converged into a large swastika, blocking the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram.

The two unleashed supernatural powers upon exchanging blows, leaving onlookers dumbfounded.

Is this the method of a Fifth Realm expert?

Is this still within the scope of "kung fu"?

This must be a method of cultivating immortality.

Can the void condense a Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol and a swastika symbol?
"Oh!"

A muffled thud, not loud, yet it caused those around to experience a temporary loss of hearing.

The swastika symbol was broken, while the Tai Chi Yin Yang symbol was still incomplete, but it was shattered by Monk Yande waving his prayer beads.

Monk Yande's expression became much more serious.

Others could also see that Monk Yande was at a disadvantage in this move.

This move was not only a contest of supernatural abilities, but also a contest of mental strength.

It is obvious that Ning Yun's spiritual power, or rather his primordial spirit power, is stronger than that of Monk Yan De.

Monk Yande used his prayer beads to shatter the broken Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram, then threw the beads out, where they hovered in the air, emitting a golden light that seemed to spread rumors.

Then they were replaced by eighteen golden monks.

Eighteen Arhats?

Upon seeing this, Ning Yun seemed to be deep in thought. He wasn't stunned by Monk Yan De's move, but rather pondered whether the Taoist art of turning beans into soldiers still existed.

Monk Yande's move not only employed Buddhist supernatural powers but also utilized the advantages of ritual implements.

Those prayer beads are an excellent ritual implement.

Since we're using magical artifacts, there's nothing more to say; everyone has them, right?

The Moon Essence Wheel appeared instantly, transforming into a beam of light that slashed towards the eighteen golden monks.

"bang bang bang"

"Ding Ding Ding"

After a series of muffled thuds, the prayer beads fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Upon closer listening, there were exactly eighteen sounds.

Upon landing, it shattered.

Although it was broken into several pieces, each piece was different, it was clear that Monk Yande's Buddhist prayer beads were shattered by Ning Yun's magic weapon in a single encounter.

The eighteen Arhats that his prayer beads conjured up disappeared before they could even demonstrate their power.

After Ning Yun's Moon Essence Wheel shattered the eighteen golden monks, it headed straight for Monk Yan De.
