Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 231 Female Bodhisattva

The sudden, sharp shout startled the three demons, and the wolf demon trembled and tumbled off the woman.

However, upon looking towards the sound, they only saw a fair-skinned, delicate-looking girl with a mushroom-shaped haircut.

The four demons were stunned for a moment, then looked at the pretty face, plump breasts, and hollow valleys in front of them... They felt that compared to her, the peasant woman was simply a deformed and ugly woman.

Monsters yearn to take human form and dream of becoming immortals. Most of them worship immortals and flatter people, to an even greater degree than the students of a certain university on the Xuanci home planet.

This is also reflected in his _habit_.

Therefore, they immediately developed a strong interest in Chen Xiaoke.

"Where did this young lady come from? Are you hungry and want some fruit too?"

"Hehehe, we have plenty of wild fruits. If you behave well, your grandfathers might even catch a fat rabbit for you to eat."

"Hehehe, I think she's hiding two fat rabbits on her body. Why don't you take them out and let us have a look?"

"Ouch——"

Because Chen Xiaoke looks so silly, she seems easy to bully even without pretending to be stupid. The four demons exchanged glances and immediately scattered to surround her, preparing to test her strength first and then experience the depth of her strength.

Chen Xiaoke was slightly startled, and immediately formed the Fearless Seal, shouting:
"You filthy monsters, get out of here, or I'll kill you!"

"She knows Buddhist martial arts. Could she be a nun from that temple who has left the nunnery?"

The four demons became wary when they saw her take this stance, but... not much.

Soon, one of the monsters that had moved to Chen Xiaoke's right side launched the first attack, lunging at her!

"The mighty Tianlong!"

The ace coach's month-long guidance finally paid off, and Chen Xiaoke shouted out those four domineering words in just 0.12 seconds.

Immediately, a dragon's roar shook the mountains and fields, and white light, like flames and waves, surged out, blasting the monster into dust.

Its remaining power was undiminished, scraping the ground three feet deep, and in an instant, it destroyed all the locust trees, shrubs, and bare rocks behind it.

The wolf spirit not far away was also affected; its internal organs were crushed, its fur was charred, and it fell to the ground like a dead dog with its tail raised.

The remaining bull demon and horse monster had never seen such divine power before, and they were terrified.

Squinting at the figure within the intense light, the bull demon was the first to remember something, and cried out in a trembling voice:

"She...she...she's that female bodhisattva from Fulin Village last year!"

"She's the one who killed the young master of Golden Feather Cave with a single palm strike? Run!"

The horse monster was also suddenly awakened and immediately used its demonic wind to escape, abandoning even the weapon stuck under the tree.

"chug!"

Two bullets pierced through their bodies, causing the two demons to fall to the ground, screaming in terror and pain.

Upon discovering that three more men had appeared out of thin air behind the living Buddha, they immediately knelt down in pain, begging for mercy in trembling voices:

"Please spare me, Bodhisattva! Please spare me, Living Buddha!"

Chen Xiaoke snorted, ran to the woman's side, helped her pull up her tattered and dirty clothes, and called out:
"Aunt Fan, are you alright? It's me, Xiao Ke, I'm back!"

The woman, also caught in the blast, rolled on the ground like the fruit before her. Hearing her call, her previously dazed eyes widened, and she stared at her blankly, saying hoarsely:
"A living Buddha? You've come! You've come back to save us?!"

"Yes! I'm back to save you. Don't worry, I promise everyone will have enough to eat from now on!"

"A living Buddha! The Buddha has appeared again! We are finally saved! Waaaaah..."

Aunt Fan burst into tears, knelt down, muttered to herself, and kowtowed to her like a madwoman.

Tang Xuanci was speechless, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, this fool has become a bodhisattva?"
The bull demon and horse monster were still begging for mercy, but seeing that Chen Xiaoke recognized the woman, they quickly tried to argue again:
“Bodhisattva, Living Buddha, we are all benevolent demons who abide by the heavenly rules. That woman… she was there voluntarily; we didn’t capture her.”

"Yes, we bring her wild fruits and meat from the deep mountains every time. Otherwise, she would only be able to gnaw on tree bark and chew wild grass, and she would have starved to death long ago!"

"Holy crap, so you guys are pretty kind-hearted? You're the real living Buddhas!" Pig-Heaven said.

The monkey also complained, "You two wicked monsters, you treat a good man like this by taking a few worthless fruits from the mountains. At least this pig would give you some money. If I kill you today, it won't be a single bit of injustice!"

Zhu Ritian was immediately displeased and cursed, "Go to hell! Is that the same thing?"

"How can they not be the same thing?"

"Eldest brother, second brother is just doing business for you, but these two monsters are taking advantage of people's misfortune. There's a difference."

Hearing his plastic disciples start arguing again, Tang Xuanci didn't bother with them. He frowned at the two monsters, but had no intention of killing them.

He felt that, after all, A-zhou was his own territory, and monsters were the source of productivity. He hoped that they would work in the factory and become a cog in the machine of the Three Realms' unique production.

If we kill every evil monster that does evil, then what's the point of production?

So he asked the two demons:
Do you know where Hongfa Temple is?

"I know, I know!"

"It's right behind Fulin Village, outside the mountains."

"Alright, since she wasn't forcibly taken here by you, I'll spare your lives for now. Lead the way." Tang Xuanci said, then frowned and ordered the two demons to carry the person, as he noticed that Chen Xiaoke was not disgusted at all and actually wanted to carry Aunt Fan on his back.

As if granted a pardon, the bull demon and the horse monster immediately revealed their true forms. One transformed into a yellow bull with long mane and curved horns, and the other into a blue horse with four huge hooves. They carried Granny Fan and led Tang Xuanci and the others down the mountain to the northwest.

Before long, the group found a village, which was the same Fulin Village that Chen Xiaoke had visited last year.

In its early days, this place was a village with more than 600 households, but at first glance, it was desolate and glaring.

The surrounding fields were all cracked and withered, not even a single foxtail grass could grow; the houses were dilapidated and crumbling, many doors were already wide open, windows were crooked, and tiles had fallen off.

In broad daylight, there were hardly any living people to be seen on the road.

Chen Xiaoke was very worried and asked Aunt Fan:

"How could this be? Where have all the people here gone? Have they all starved to death?"

Aunt Fan was already delirious and could not answer.

"So what if he's dead..." Tang Xuanci muttered to himself, but his ears caught a commotion coming from the north of the village, where Hongfa Temple was located.

So after they left Aunt Fan at home, they left behind several boxes of cola that monkeys love to drink and some dragon's saliva pastries that Zhu Ritian had packed, and then headed there.

They were unaware that a Buddhist ceremony was being held at Hongfa Temple.

Inside the main hall, bells and drums tolled softly, incense smoke swirled, and chanting continued incessantly.

The ones being prayed for were the abbot and several monks who had sheltered Chen Xiaoke on her way to take the exam at Mount Taihua last December.

Their cremated relics and ashes were only recently brought back by monks from another temple.

There are bad people in Buddhism, but there are also good people in a narrow sense.

Although the abbot and his monks lived in a poor, dilapidated temple in the mountains, they still helped all living beings and relieved the distressed.

Now that news of their deaths has spread, ordinary people in the surrounding villages are heartbroken, and those who are still able to move come to mourn despite their frail health.

In addition, there were at least seven or eight hundred people who had long lost their homes and were crammed into the temple to live. They all knelt in front of the hall and wept bitterly, creating a poignant and moving scene.

However, in the nearby Golden Feather Cave on Chaotian Peak, a group of monsters who had been entrenched for many years and frequently harassed the villagers also learned of the abbot's passing.

They had often been intimidated by the power of Buddhism and had their good deeds thwarted by the monks of Hongfa Temple.

Last year, seeing that Buddhism had lost power, they became even more unruly. However, they unexpectedly encountered a female Buddhist cultivator who wielded the "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon" technique with unparalleled skill. The Golden Feather King's own flesh and blood was killed by her in one move.

King Jinyu had been searching everywhere for the Buddhist nun without success, and was already seething with anger. So when he heard from his men that the abbot of Hongfa Temple had died, he personally led his demons down the mountain, ready to settle both old and new scores!

"Oh!"

With a loud crash, the altar overturned, and incense ash flew everywhere.

King Jin Yu was extremely arrogant, daring to cause trouble in Buddhist temples in front of hundreds of mortals.

"Hmph, this old bald monk used to be our enemy many times, but I never thought he'd end up like this!"

"Tell me quickly, where is that vile woman who killed my child hiding?"
"Otherwise, I'll tear down this old bald monk's altar right now and dump his ashes into the latrine!"

The mortals who were watching were terrified when they saw so many monsters, and they trembled with fear.

The monks of Hongfa Temple looked grief-stricken and indignant, and the leading abbot immediately shouted:

"Although Hongfa Temple is small, it is a pure land of Buddhism. How dare you demons run rampant here! Disciples, protect the temple!"

"You think you can take it all?" King Golden Feather sneered and led his demon horde to charge forward.

Within moments, dozens of monks collapsed and could not get up.

The abbot was no match for the Golden Feather King. He was pierced by the golden feathers that shot out from its wings and was sent flying backward.

Immediately, King Jinyu pointed into the hall and gave the order:
"Go, smash the ashes and relics of those bald monks!"

"No!"

The abbot's eyes widened in fury as he tried to forcefully use his inner energy to stop the attack, but before he could even get up, he was blasted away by the powerful gust of wind stirred up by the Golden Feather King, his body crashing heavily into the pillar supporting the hall.

With a loud bang, the weathered wooden pillar broke, and the long-neglected eaves above it collapsed.

Around the broken pillar, several small children were hiding.

They were pale and emaciated, and when they saw the heavy eaves pressing down on them from above, they collapsed on the spot.

At this critical moment!
The space seemed to ripple as a figure drew an arc and rushed from the temple gate.

It looks slow, but it's actually extremely fast.

It seems as if time and space are distorted, and as if heaven and earth are shifted.

They steered the tide from the brink of collapse and saved the temple from imminent ruin.

In an instant, she arrived, raising her arms high to support the massive weight!
Under the astonished gazes of the group of demons, countless broken tiles slid down, kicking up a cloud of dust, while the eaves of the palace hung suspended above the heads of several children.

This scene, where Tang Xuanci had just stepped into the temple, reminded me of a scene from a movie I watched as a child. I thought to myself, "Wow, is he imitating Superman?"
