From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 237 This is Lion Camel Ridge!
"Boom!"

The sound of the wooden fish drum resounded in everyone's ears, startling many people!
No, where is that sound coming from? How come everyone can hear it?
They looked around solemnly, but saw nothing else, only the sound, clear, slow, and continuous!
And the monk before them, in this very situation, fell backward amidst the crisp sound of the wooden fish drum.

The bullet's power and damage were real, and he wasn't particularly strong, so this one shot was enough to kill him.

He didn't even make it to the police station, nor did he ever have the chance to do so again. He had completely lost his physical body and was as dead as could be!
"In that case, let's leave it at that for now!" Zhenluo said softly, and then, amidst the sound of the wooden fish and under everyone's gaze, it slowly rose up!
His body was still at his feet, but his physical body was already dead, so what he ascended this time was his soul!
That illusory soul, yet radiating golden light, appeared on this street, in everyone's eyes, and in this world.

This stunned everyone, including the two police officers who fired the shots. What on earth did they kill?

In an instant, they cursed the Brahmins who had put up the bounty in their minds! Damn it, you sent us to kill this guy?

If there is anything in this world that can rival the holy light of an angel's descent, then it must be the golden light of the Buddha!

These monks truly understood what the effect of holy light was, so when Zhenluo used it, the effect was absolutely amazing.

Especially at this moment, when the gunshots rang out and drew the attention of many people in the city, this was even more true!
Many people immediately knelt down, not knowing why they had to, but they just knelt down first!
Golden light bathed the entire city, and the golden monk appeared before everyone like a second sun. Even though his body was illusory, it did not affect the fact that his power was real.

"Come back, my things! Come back, my will!"

As Zhenluo spoke, he gently waved his hand, and the items that were being sold on the road flew directly from the hands, homes, or other places of those people.

They flew through houses and buildings, smashed car windows and walls, and flew towards the place where the golden light was seen by countless people!

This scene, of course, also came into the view of many observers, causing them to gasp in fear!

The two agents from Japan were particularly stunned by what they saw. "This is... a golden-bodied Arhat? The body is destroyed but the primordial spirit remains. Isn't this the legendary Arhat's Dao Fruit?"

After all, it is a country where Buddhism flourished. Although its glory has faded due to the suppression of Shintoism in China, there is still a great deal of recognition of it.

Moreover, the kind of agents who can be sent to this country are even more knowledgeable people. The man who spoke even spent a considerable amount of time in a temple during his childhood.

Hearing his words, Agent Amelia Carter asked curiously, "What does 'Arhat's Path and Fruition' mean? Could you explain it more clearly?"

America's people are the real resource managers. They don't care if they don't understand these things because they know that others do, like the Japanese players, who are the kind of people who understand.

"Arhat is a state of enlightenment in Buddhism. Only those who have attained perfect enlightenment become Arhats. It is the highest state of enlightenment in Theravada Buddhism and also a special state of mind!" the agent of Xiao Rizi explained. "You can compare it to the position of a lower-ranking angel or saint in Christianity. They have divine power but not much status!"

"So it wasn't that strong after all!" the American said casually.

"No, no, no!" Agent Xiao Rizi immediately denied. "That's not how it is. Because the Buddha doesn't appear and the Bodhisattvas don't manifest, in fact, the Arhats are the most powerful group of people in Buddhist legends. That's why there are the Eighteen Arhats and the Golden-bodied Arhats!"

"You should know that even those legendary venerable ones, such as Venerable Ananda and Venerable Kasyapa, were only Arhats!"

The agent said with some trepidation, "Now, they've angered an Arhat, and I'm a little scared! If an Arhat really does descend to earth, will it affect us?"

After truly understanding the extraordinary, knowing the meaning of Buddhism, and seeing a monk radiating golden light, no one is not afraid!
"Isn't Buddha supposed to be compassionate? Why are you so afraid?" The person next to him looked at him, somewhat puzzled.

“Because Buddha is compassionate, but Arhats are not! They are the ones who have attained enlightenment, who have achieved perfect understanding, who have slain the thief, who have attained non-birth, and who are worthy of offerings. This is slaying the thief!” the agent said, trembling slightly. “He has already started chanting the Buddha's name. He is about to… become enraged!”

Jinra was indeed furious; it was not the fury of his soul, but the fury of his body.

After all, he couldn't find evil when he sought evil, nor could he find good when he sought good. These guys in the city were truly disgusting and outrageous!
However, just as he was about to say "Thus have I heard," Alvin suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Should I call you Shinra or Muten?" Alvin asked curiously. His figure appeared, but he was still not seen by anyone except Shinra.

"Call me Zhenluo. Since I have become Zhenluo, I am Zhenluo!" the monk said calmly.

“That’s great. You can continue being your true monk and bodhisattva. We’ll help you complete a performance, how about that?” Alvin said.

"What kind of interpretation?" Shinra asked curiously. "Of course, it's an interpretation that intertwines illusion and reality!" Alvin raised his hand, and the illusory psychic power in his hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a circle of real psychic phantoms in the city!

"Your Majesty says this is called the Realm of Nothingness, this is called the Desire of Greed, this is called—Lion Camel Ridge!"

"Monk Zhenluo, are you willing to become the savior of this Lion Camel Land?"

Zhen Luo laughed. "Rescue? Ha! How many can be rescued? How many can be saved? It's better to let them be ground up in this giant millstone and turned into nourishment!"

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!" ​​he shouted, the Buddha's name resounding throughout the heavens and earth!
"Namo Western Medicine Buddha!" ​​Alvin said casually, and also clasped his hands in a gesture of respect before disappearing.

The next second, Alvin appeared beside Bai Yang, "Your Majesty, he has agreed!"

“Very good!” Bai Yang nodded, then without further hesitation, he pointed his finger, and a divine fire appeared. It was a Christian fire, and what bloomed from the flame was the illusory power of vows that Bishop Lasinger, who had become a saint, had collected during his missionary work.

He has already traversed that world smoothly, and in that world, he is gradually replacing those beliefs that do not belong to the Lord with those that do belong to the Lord.

During this time, Bai Yang also guided Alvin to change his original fictional persona into a real soul, which was not difficult with the help of the central nervous system.

The world that originally contained only 200,000 normal human souls now has a million souls residing in it, and if it continues to be filled, it may be able to house ten million souls.

By then, collecting the power of wishes should be quite simple for him.

At this moment, Bai Yang unleashed all the collected power of wishes without restraint, but this time, his target was the entire city!

“The death and resentment here are just too diverse. I can’t bear not collecting them all!” Bai Yang said. “So, isn’t this city, built on top of excrement and death, with the Dalits at the bottom, the Vaishyas and Shudras in the middle, and the Brahmins at the top, just a new Lion Camel Ridge?”

"However, the cannibalism in Lion Camel Ridge is just cannibalism! The cannibalism in this city, on the other hand, involves chewing people up, swallowing them, and then spitting them out!"

Beneath the hazy glow, the entire city suddenly came to a standstill. At the moment when Bai Yang nodded and Zhen Luo lowered his eyes, the power of will had already swept across the entire city.

Everyone is a target, everyone is in a dream, and they have all gone to that terrible place.

Only Zhenluo, before entering, gazed into the distance, his soul released from his grasp, and he softly recited a Buddhist verse:
“The law is inherently without law, and the lawless law is also law. Now that the lawless law has been given, what law has ever been law?”

Like the divine light of Buddha, it enveloped a particular person.

Suer, who had just been brought to the police station by the police, suddenly raised his head as if by divine inspiration.

He could feel a special emotion guiding him to look up, and then he saw an illusory soul rushing towards him!

"Father!" the soul cried out. Wasn't this the face of his son?

Suer's eyes, which hadn't shed a tear in decades, suddenly burst into tears. "Child...child...you...sob sob sob sob..."

In the end, father and son met again, father and son recognized each other, one real and one illusory souls reunited in this world.

And all around them were people who had fallen into a deep sleep!

Good deeds have a cause, and evil deeds have a consequence!

Before these people lay the infamous millstone of the eight-hundred-mile-long Lion Camel Ridge:

Skulls piled high like mountains, bones like forests. Human hair matted into felt, human flesh rotted into dust. Human tendons entwined on trees, dry and gleaming like silver. Truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, indeed a stench unbearable to behold. To the east, lesser demons seized living people and butchered them; to the west, wicked monsters boiled and cooked human flesh fresh.

"The evils of this city are so numerous that even after the Lion Camel Ridge was completely consumed, there's still some left!" Bai Yang exclaimed in admiration.
P.S.: After much thought, I think it has to be Journey to the West, Lion Camel Ridge is the perfect match for the city's vibe!
