Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

The pressure in my throat became increasingly noticeable.

Wu Wang was even grabbed by the neck and lifted up with both feet off the ground.

He could clearly feel that he was completely unable to breathe any air.

To be honest, if it weren't for the passive ability of "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" that enhanced his physical defense, Monk Huiming's attack would probably have been enough to snap an ordinary person's throat.

Faced with this predicament, Wu Wang neither begged for mercy nor regretted his actions.

He merely provocatively said, "Give it your all... Haven't you eaten?"

"I can do a much worse suffocation play myself than you're choking me like this..."

"Your father, Du Ye, was definitely much more decisive than you when he killed someone..."

His face was completely ashen; he would probably suffocate to death soon.

The cloudiness in Monk Huiming's eyes inexplicably began to tremble.

Sometimes it is as black as ink, and sometimes it is clear and white.

Just as he felt the life in his hands was about to slip away.

A rush of cool air, like a spring of sweet water, suddenly entered Wu Wang's respiratory tract.

He landed steadily back on the ground from being held up, breathing in the hard-won air, like a traveler who had been thirsty in the desert and finally found an oasis.

In contrast, the monk Huiming slumped to the ground like a deflated balloon.

The legs are habitually crossed to form a sitting posture.

He let go.

"Amitabha……"

"Amitabha……"

Even as Huiming clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, he still couldn't stop trembling and sweating profusely.

He couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

This clearly shows how flustered he is right now.

Since Wu Wang was not actually killed, there was no way to use [immortality] to directly reset his status.

After rubbing his throat for a while to catch his breath, he stood up.

He walked over and patted Monk Huiming on the shoulder.

Before he could even speak, Monk Huiming sprang up like a frightened bird the moment Huiming patted his shoulder, taking two steps back. He even tripped over a tree root behind him and fell to the ground.

Lying on the ground, he didn't even care about the burning pain from his scraped skin.

He said in a flustered manner, "Benefactor, I... I almost killed you by mistake. Amitabha, I am so sorry."

Faced with this situation, Wu Wang just shrugged helplessly and said, "We're all brothers, it's okay. Next time you play this kind of thing, remember to ask the other person to set a safe word in advance, and it's better if it's played by someone of the opposite sex. I'm straight, and I really can't accept playing with someone of the same sex."

Listening to Wu Wang still spouting nonsense, even using words that I couldn't understand at all.

What are the safe words and what are the orientations?

Monk Huiming was stunned.

He asked instinctively, "You...don't hold a grudge against this humble monk?"

Wu Wang said with a serious expression, "Whether I hold a grudge or not is another matter. Let me correct you first. You almost accidentally killed me. If someone is holding a knife and accidentally trips and stabs me in the chest, that's called accidentally killing me."

“From a legal perspective, negligence is defined as failing to foresee the death of another person.”

"And you just now had the subjective intention to illegally deprive someone of their life, that's called intentional homicide."

"Based on the outcome, at most I can sentence you to attempted murder."

These words actually calmed Huiming down.

He slowly sat cross-legged, as if only in this way could he calm his mind.

After putting his hands together again, he did not recite any Buddhist chants.

The black grime in his eyes gradually faded, and he asked Wu Wang with a complicated expression, "Why?"

These three words contain a lot of questions.

He wanted to know how the other party knew that he was a descendant of Abbot Duye.

He wanted to know how many other people knew about this.
He wanted to know why this person, knowing he had murderous intent, still chose to follow him out of the temple.

Huiming had too many questions.

In response, Wu Wang laughed and said, "The source of the abnormality at Cibei Temple is undoubtedly related to Abbot Duye."

“He committed many evils back then, and I am saddened to admit that I was also complicit in his crimes.”

"He attained Buddhahood for all sentient beings, and Kongbei succeeded him as abbot, which shows that the two had a close relationship."

"Even so, Kongbei has no way to control the abnormal rules in Cibei Temple. At most, he can be unaffected or make use of them, but he can't control them at all."

"And what about you? As an adopted child, why do you have a better grasp of the rules than Kong Bei? Could it be that Abbot Du Ye cares more about you? I doubt it. He probably wouldn't be willing to share any of his power with others. Otherwise, why wouldn't he take Kong Bei with him to become a Buddha?"

Hearing these words, Huiming lowered his head even further.

He muttered to himself, "Yes, how could someone like Duye have any kindness? His upbringing and care for me were just for show in front of the worshippers. From the moment I attained Buddhahood, I was worthless in his eyes."

"It even...became a stumbling block."

Wu Wang ignored his mutterings.

Instead, he continued to state his reasoning:
"In the end, I came to the conclusion that your ability to control the abnormal rules was even beyond Abbot Duye's expectations. He didn't give you this power; you already possessed it."

"As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"Your ability comes from the nepotism that leads to enlightenment. The only explanation for this nepotism is that you are related to him by blood."

"The real 'Compassionate Buddhist Disciple,' hiding right under everyone's noses, Kongbei still doesn't know your true identity, does he?"

This is what Wu Wang found inspiration from his second sister's casual remark.

They discussed the time they had colluded with Duye, the leverage they held over each other, and their prestige and status at Cibei Temple.

In every aspect, Huiming is no match for Abbot Kongbei.

However, the most ridiculous thing is that the biggest watershed moment in life is actually the amniotic fluid.

Du Ye spent his days mingling with high-ranking officials and nobles at the foot of the mountain, and had long since forgotten the rules and regulations of Cibei Temple.

Moreover, he was not a novice monk who had been ordained since childhood, but rather someone who had taken refuge in a temple to escape the pursuit of the imperial court.

How can someone who has amassed power not also be tainted by lust?

Such a person must be indulging in all sorts of vices, including wine, women, wealth, and power.

Huiming was born in such circumstances, in a place at the foot of the mountain where perhaps the people were prostitutes, or perhaps she was a young virgin who had been forcibly abused—in short, it was definitely not a good environment.

Kong Bei spent most of his life working towards a goal that was something Huiming was destined to have from birth.

Wu Wang had no idea how Du Ye discovered his existence as an illegitimate child.

But if we put ourselves in his shoes, rather than letting this guy and his mother live in a place where we can't see them, there is a high risk that our image as enlightened monks could be exposed.

It would be better to keep him by our side and keep Huiming away from worldly affairs, thus cutting off any possibility that he might learn about his origins.

They could even spread their stories of taking in orphans and showing compassion for the world in the local area, further enhancing their reputation and prestige.

why not?

As for Huiming's mother...

In Wu Wang's view, on the bright side, Du Ye might have used Hui Ming and her own life as a threat to keep her from telling the truth until her death; on the dark side, Du Ye had probably already silenced her completely.

Just like he said—the dead never reveal secrets.

Since Huiming was already an orphan when he was taken in, Wu Wang felt that the latter was more likely. He had no doubt whether Du Ye could bring himself to do such a thing.

That guy's deeds are obvious; he's absolutely a thoroughly evil person.

"Don't worry, only my sister and I know about this right now, she won't tell anyone," Wu Wang reassured Huiming with a smile. "As for why I knowingly walked into the tiger's den..."

He said in a slightly more serious tone, "Because I believe that you and Duye are still different. You still have Buddha in your heart, the real Buddha, not that evil Buddha of sentient beings."

The reason Wu Wang made this judgment is very simple—

Huiming's care for Wusheng was genuine.

Although he was Du Ye's illegitimate son, Xiao Wusheng was definitely a true abandoned baby who was taken in.

Perhaps Huiming didn't know her true identity when she took in Xiao Wusheng.

He simply wanted to emulate the good deeds and merits of Abbot Duye, who had taken him in.

Even after learning all this, she still did not change her love for Xiao Wusheng, ensuring that he was not affected in the slightest in the abnormally rampant Cibei Temple.

This is what led Wu Wang to conclude that Huiming and Duye were different.

Furthermore, when Huiming gave everyone red candles last night and said he would help open the back door to leave, Wu Wang's "sudden realization" did not give any response.

He really will go and open the door.

This indirectly proves that Huiming still had a sense of right and wrong.

However, his identity as the son of a sage and his obsession with becoming a Buddha blurred his mind.

“Venerable Monk Huiming, I am pressing you step by step today because I believe that even if your deepest secret is revealed, you will not fall into the turbid evil, but will choose to uphold the good in your heart.”

"The fact that I am still alive is enough to prove your determination."

"How does it feel to have your secret revealed to others?"

Wu Wang's expression and tone were full of mockery.

call--

The monk Huiming exhaled a heavy breath and said, "Ah, my benefactor, you are in pain like never before."

“It is even more painful than when I first learned of Duye’s evil deeds and that I was Duye’s son.”

"It's like tearing open this glamorous exterior of me, letting the filthy soul hidden within be burned away by the scorching sun—it's an excruciating pain."

He seemed to have lost all his strength.

The posture of meditation was precarious and unstable.

Yet it was as if he had gained some new strength, which kept him from collapsing.

Finally, he gave a helpless, bitter smile and said:

"But for some reason, after the pain, I felt a strange sense of peace."

"Although it is somewhat unfair to you, my esteemed benefactor, I truly do not wish to deceive anyone any longer."

"At this moment, it feels like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. It's as if I used to see mountains as not mountains and water as not water, but now I see mountains as mountains and water as water again."

Standing before the person he had recently wanted to kill, the panic in his heart subsided and was replaced by a sense of peace.

This situation made Huiming feel a little guilty.

In fact, Wu Wang was not surprised by this change in him.

He was deeply moved when he heard Xiao Wusheng say that Monk Huiming kept himself busy all day like a tireless machine, and when he saw the other party's various reactions in the warehouse.

The fall of Wu can be determined by this.

Monk Huiming has been in a state of confusion for a long time.

Good and evil, the Buddha within one's heart and the Buddha of desire are at war.

The reason I'm so busy is to keep myself from having any free time to think about these things, so that I can fall into a deep sleep when I'm exhausted both physically and mentally every day.

This can be considered a form of escapism, just like when he discovered the log but didn't dare to expose it, yet he didn't want the truth to be buried either, so he ultimately chose to put the log back where it was, hoping that someone destined to find it would discover it.

You could say that Huiming was cowardly.

He dared not make any clear choice.

But cowardice does not mean inability to change.

He just needs someone to give him a push.

Of course, if Abbot Kongbei were to discover Huiming's true identity first, his actions would plunge him into the abyss of evil.

That guy will definitely use Huiming to make himself a Buddha among all sentient beings.

Therefore, Wu Wang did not have time to slowly guide Huiming in Cibei Temple.

He needs to use the most extreme methods to quickly push the other party to the side of "good".

The current approach is effective quickly, but it also carries the risk of causing the system to collapse and be abandoned.

Fortunately, he won his gamble.

Of course, this bet will definitely be won.

Wu Wang's smile concealed an undeniable madness.

Of course he will live.

Even if Huiming were to choose to fall into depravity and kill himself, he would rise again until the other party regained his senses.

The same lines can still be used after waking up.

As for whether to kill or not...

Those were all illusions that Huiming had developed because his eyes were clouded by defilement.

Am I not standing here perfectly fine?

Wu Wang has always been adept at distorting the truth.

"Afflictions are enlightenment."

“The Venerable Master Huiming said, ‘Lotus flowers can grow from mud, and plants can be nourished from pus and blood. There is no absolute filth in the world, only light that has not yet been illuminated by wisdom.’”

"There may be a million reasons why someone should die, but there is absolutely no reason why someone should die because they were born that way."

"Those desires, hatred, ignorance, and fears that you desperately try to hide..."

“When viewed through the light of the Dharma, they are no longer your enemies, but rather resources for your practice.”

Wu Wang bent down and spoke in a low voice, but it resonated loudly in Huiming's ears.

The previously shaky spine has become increasingly straight.

Close your eyes and take two deep breaths.

This time, his clasped hands did not tremble.

He said calmly, "These words are truly enlightening. I have learned a great deal once again, benefactor."

“I have seen the shadow of a true Buddha in you more than once. Perhaps you may also consider the path of Buddhism.”

These words made Wu Wang smile.

He straightened his back, stood up, waved his hand, and said, "I'll pass."

“In the past, if I found something unlucky like money meant for saving lives, I would throw it into the temple’s donation box. I guess Buddha would have to talk to me about these unlucky things first.”

"So, can you now tell me what you know about Abbot Duye and the Buddha of All Beings?"

This time, there was no hesitation in Huiming's eyes.

Looking back towards the direction of Cibei Temple, he slowly said:
"It all started when Du Ye discovered that [insect]..." (End of Chapter)
