Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 59 Second Battle with the Green Snake
A leg shadow cuts through the air!

collapse! !

The air blast blew through the long hair and the surrounding weeds, and the immense power, accompanied by Buddhist magic, created a golden light effect.

The seemingly violent force kicked the giant green snake, which was dozens of meters long, into the air.

The contrast in body shape creates a striking difference.

Even Nie Feng would be shocked by this move; it's powerful and strong.

It was actually just an ordinary kick under the blessing of the Pure Land, with no power or technique whatsoever.

Xu Xuan landed hard, his foot hurt.

This monster revealing its true form is too unfair; even the power of the Pure Land Buddha cannot suppress its demonic power. It is already extremely difficult to even break through its scales' defense.

We must end the battle before the opponent recovers.

Then
"A resilient grass in the wind!"

A regular flying kick, kicking up a ring of weeds.

"Swift and decisive!"

A normal front kick strikes the snake's body, producing a muffled thunderous sound.

"A violent storm!"

Perform continuous whip kicks, switching legs midway, and continue kicking.

"Wind."

"The final move, Roar of the Wind God!"

A powerful flying kick finally instilled the Pure Land Buddhist power into the opponent's body and soul. The green snake flew out again, crushing a patch of rubble and withered trees.

End the battle.

A poorly executed set of leg techniques can be exhilarating; realizing a martial arts dream is that simple.

Don't say Xu Xuan is heartless; he wouldn't have been so cruel to any young girl who had just appeared on screen. Even passersby would have reported him to the authorities.

But anyone who saw the giant, green-scaled serpent, tens of meters long, with eyes that seemed to shoot the morning stars and nostrils that exhaled the morning mist, and with its densely packed fangs like steel swords, would not have the heart to hold back.

Having only recently entered the path, I have not yet fully accepted the tolerance of practitioners regarding physical and racial aesthetics.

Aesthetic tastes have become somewhat fixed due to the influence of later generations, but the locals are different and may have a much higher acceptance rate.

In a moment of reflection, I realized that I had previously made fun of the Four Knights, but now I truly admire Brother Xu Xian's ruthlessness.

The fact that one can still love someone after guessing their identity and having seen them, and that their story has been passed down through the ages, is not simply due to their beauty.

This is truly a love tribulation.

After finishing his work, Xu Xuan tidied himself up and walked over to the snakehead, where he began to reprimand him sternly.

"You monster, you have no sense of propriety!"

"I let you off the hook last time, how dare you provoke me again?"

"If it weren't for the good intentions of Buddhist monks, they would surely have vanquished the demons today."

Xiaoqing closed her eyes and pretended to be dead; she simply couldn't bear to face this scene.

Baba came to seek revenge, but was defeated again. His life as a demon is hopeless.

Xu Xuan simply wouldn't believe that he was on the verge of death.

While the leg technique was indeed powerful and unparalleled, its actual damage was minimal, like scraping.

The demon's body was covered with bits of grass, and it remained motionless because its demonic energy and soul had been suppressed.

It's really difficult for cultivators to fight against the demon race without a suitable magic weapon.

"You little monster have no idea about the dangers of the human world."

"The demons will not have a good ending if they show their true colors. Go back and study hard this time, and come back to find me after you have finished carving the characters."

"Humph!"

After saying that, he left, leaving behind a terrifying silhouette.

Having suffered this blow, the green snake should be able to calm down for a while.

I'll ask my senior brother when I get back to the mountain if there's any way to solve this once and for all.

Xiaoqing secretly opened her eyes and only swayed slightly after seeing that the scholar and monk had indeed left.

The realgar on his body had been completely shaken off by the scraping leg technique, but it was then suppressed by the Buddha's power.

All I can do is sit here and rack my brains.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this person doesn't seem like a bad person.

Although he was thoroughly beaten, he didn't kill demons for their cores, skin them, or bleed them like his sister had described human cultivators.

When it got dark and the Buddha's power dissipated, she returned to human form.

"Next time, why don't you ask him his name?"

Then it turned into wisps of green smoke and dispersed, returning to the bottom of a lake.

"Sister, I'm back."

After dealing with Xiaoqing, Xu Xuan glided all the way to the academy's gate using the air currents.

Find Madam Yin and report that the academy's mission has been successfully completed.

“Well done. Qian Zhongyu returned to the academy yesterday morning, and his spirits are already very different.”

"Your demeanor has improved dramatically; the professors are quite surprised." "How did you do that?"

That's something you absolutely can't tell the truth about.

Xu Xuan's last few words of admonition were a bit extreme in the context of the academy, and there was no need to complicate things further.

He only said that he had moved Qian with his emotions and reason, and that he had touched Qian with the righteousness of the ancient sages.

The other party suddenly realized their mistake and asked to be punished.

It sounds like an educational little story that could be written into a proverb.

Lady Yin was very satisfied with this result and settled the matter by throwing out a bunch of silver coins.

Xu Xuan happily took the bonus and left. The money from the academy was considered legitimate income from his labor, and he deserved it.

As soon as they got outside, they ran into Xie Yu, and Qian Zhongyu, who had returned from carving and was still carrying his tools.

"Master Xu" *2
Xie Yu looked at the person beside him in surprise. The way his classmate asked to write as punishment after returning home reminded him of himself.

Wow, the other students immediately looked over as well, and everyone in the academy called Xu Xuan "Instructor Xu".

Only Xie Yu changed his master to Master Xu after returning from a certain period of time.

The word "teacher" is not used casually; one must be a formal professor or someone who has completely impressed these exceptional students with their talent and learning before one can use it.

Surprisingly, even the notoriously rebellious Qian Zhongyu succumbed to temptation.

Wow, Instructor Xu is quite something.

"Ah, very good."

Leaving behind a towering figure, Xu Xuan headed straight for the back of the mountain.

"Senior brother, that's how it is."

"It is indeed wrong to kill someone without any karmic ties, but continuing to entangle yourself with this matter will certainly not be good for your cultivation."

Ruo Xu thought for a moment and gave a classic reply.

"If it comes again, subdue it and make it a guardian spirit beast."

"what?"

Xu Xuan felt that this was a bit excessive.

"How could it be excessive? After being subdued, they have a sect background and are no longer considered mountain spirits or wild monsters."

"Our Pure Land Sect is a righteous sect in the human world. Even if other fellow practitioners encounter the spirit beasts of our sect, they will give us some face and we will not be killed at will."

"There is still the righteous path to cultivate, an opportunity that many demons desire but do not have."

I see. Being given a government position and training methods does indeed make for a good job.

If Mount Ling were still standing, this status would be even more valuable.

The Black Bear Spirit and Red Boy can both testify to this.

However, Xu Xuan couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, and decided to wait until they met again in the future.

Actually, Ruoxu had something he didn't say: Junior brother, you have too much karma.

Few demons would actively approach a monk.

In that case, some things should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Junior brother, I'm going south to continue tracking that demon. You stay at the academy and cultivate diligently."

"Once I have completely subdued that demon, I will take you back to the Donglin Ancestral Temple."

According to Ruoxu, once the ancestral temple is included in the register, it will receive the blessing of good fortune.

Moreover, the ancestral temple is a pure land left by the Bodhisattva who protects the Dharma in the East, and it can also help sever some karmic entanglements in the mortal world.

This is why Ruoxu felt his junior brother needed to return to the ancestral temple; he felt that the pure land behind the mountain could no longer suppress the troubles that were actively rushing towards him.

"So that's how it is. The Donglin Ancestral Temple is truly a sacred and pure land."

If Xu Xuan seemed interested, he would talk more about Pure Land Buddhism.
The gifts include returning to the ancestral temple, receiving Buddhist blessings, and the qualification to select a Buddhist treasure.

It can be said that they've given away both experience points and equipment; this is the true inheritance of the Dharma.

Xu Xuan was in a great mood upon hearing this. Although being a monk had some inconveniences, it was truly a rich life.

Even the magical artifacts were given to each person—perfect.

"The Dharma form of the Eastern Guardian Bodhisattva can also detect demons. There was a great demon who wanted to kill him on the spot."

Xu Xuan suppressed all his thoughts, not daring to have the slightest abnormality.

He asked, feigning curiosity.

"Detection? Instant kill?"

"That's natural. There are many transformation techniques in the cultivation world, and the temptations of the orthodox path are immense, so they are naturally treated strictly. Every orthodox sect has magic treasures such as the Demon-Revealing Mirror or the Demon-Revealing Treasure Mirror."

Actually, I don't really want Buddhist treasures or anything like that anymore.
"Didn't the White Lotus Saintess steal martial arts techniques from various schools back then?"

"Bai Lian is a person of extraordinary talent. He cultivates the true Buddhism with sincerity and has other supernatural abilities. He is not afraid of these things."

"So that's how it is. That white lotus can become an unparalleled demon. It's indeed extraordinary."

I smiled inwardly, then I wasn't worried anymore.

"Senior brother, come back soon."
