A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

Liangchan Temple is a recognized Buddhist holy site.

Two great Vajra masters of Buddhism emerged from this place.

But a strange monk appeared, who not only drank alcohol and ate meat, but also married and had children.

"Master, is your choice truly the right one?"

When the holy monk Nagarjuna passed away, Li Dangxin, a disciple of Nagarjuna residing at Liangchan Temple, sensed it.

It was only because of the special nature of the Moral Forest that the celestial phenomena did not change; perhaps this was also part of Nagarjuna's plan.

If the world were to learn that the holy monk of Buddhism had bestowed his Buddhist fortune upon Ye Yun, Ye Yun would likely become a complete enemy of both the martial arts world and the imperial court.

"Master!"

A handsome young monk stood not far from Li Dangxin and called out.

Li Dangxin took a deep breath and smiled gently, saying, "Nanbei, what's wrong?"

"I think I just dreamt that my grandmaster left with a smile."

"Yeah?"

Li Dangxin walked over and patted his apprentice's bald head.

"Master, look! There are immortals!"

Wu Nanbei pointed to the distance, where a golden light was rapidly approaching the two Zen temples.

Li Dangxin turned around and stood in front of Wu Nanbei, his entire aura changed, revealing his Buddhist Vajra cultivation level.

When they saw who it was, they realized it was a monk, and he had a familiar scent about him.

"We, the laypeople, have come to deliver the relics of the holy monk."

The newcomer was Ye Yun's Buddhist avatar. He had severed his Buddhist identity by using the fortune left by the holy monk Longshu and his Buddhist cultivation. He also possessed the cultivation of the peak of the Great Vajra Realm.

Compared to Li Dangxin in front of him, he is no weaker.

"A wanderer?"

Li Dangxin clearly sensed the aura of his master, the holy monk Nagarjuna, in this person.

"Are you Ye Yun?"

Li Dangxin thought of a possibility: that his master had given all his power to Ye Yun.

The traveler smiled and said, "Yes and no. I am Ye Yun, a Buddhist traveler. It is my duty to promote Buddhism in the future."

Then the relic in the traveler's hand, belonging to the holy monk Nagarjuna, flew towards Li Dangxin.

Li Dangxin clasped his hands together and tremblingly accepted the relic: "Since it is my master's last wish, I shall obey. I wonder how you shall begin?"

The traveler pointed in the direction of the Western Regions: "The Western Regions."

"You want to go to Mount Landa to discuss Buddhism."

Li Dangxin asked.

"No, first destroy Buddhism, then revive it."

The traveler's gaze fell on Wu Nanbei, and he immediately noticed that the boy had extraordinary talent and was truly a reincarnation of the Buddha. He continued, "You have a good disciple; he is the one who will greatly promote Buddhism in the future."

Li Dangxin didn't take the following sentence to heart, a fact known to many.

Did the monk destroy Buddhism and then revive it, as he intended?

"Ye Yun is bloodthirsty. As his Buddhist avatar, do you intend to destroy the entire Landa Mountain?"

Li Dangxin remained very wary of Ye Yun's clone.

A monk wearing a red robe looked very strange no matter how you looked at it.

"What is called Buddhism is not Buddhism."

"Why be so attached to life and death? If we want to promote Buddhism, we must unify the power of the entire Buddhist community. The Western Regions are the best place for that."

The traveler smiled kindly and put his hands together in prayer.

Surprising!

Looking at the young monk in front of him, Li Dangxin felt something was off.

This is a demon Buddha.

Using killing to promote Buddhism—what a ruthless tactic!

"I think I will stop you from killing."

Li Dangxin said coldly, and then told Wu Nanbei to leave.

"In that case, let's make a bet. If you win, you will not go to Mount Landa and will leave a pure land for Buddhism in the future."

If you lose, lend me a hand and unify the entire Buddhist sect, starting anew.

The traveler revealed a strange smile.

"You wicked monk, prepare to die!"

Li Dangxin, the Wrathful Vajra.

Unexpectedly, the Buddhist fortune passed down by his master gave birth to such a strange and demonic monk.

The traveler swaggered up to it.

The two threw punches at the same time.

dang!

If the old bell is struck and its sound reverberates throughout the entire Liangchan Temple, the two men will retreat two hundred li at the same time.

"Hahaha, calling me a demonic monk, in the end, it's still fists that solve the problem."

The traveler burst into laughter, which instantly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

He ripped his red robe and cassock to shreds, then leaped forward, tearing a ravine in his wake, and sped for two hundred miles, breaking rocks and trees as he went.

Finally, he collided violently with the white-robed monk.

There was nothing fancy about it; instead, it was the purest physical encounter in the world.

The area within a mile radius instantly caved in, creating a huge circular crater.

This collision, on the contrary, greatly increased the white-robed monk's fighting spirit. Golden light appeared on his body, and he struck the traveler with a fist and a palm. The power that could kill the gods of the three religions was no match for the traveler, but it only made the traveler take a half step back.

"Li Dangxin, why don't you come to the real deal?"

The traveler did not retaliate, but instead signaled to Li Dangxin that he could bring out something real.

"If that's the case, then take this slap."

This day.

Above the Liangchan Temple, a lotus pond hangs high in the sky. A white-robed monk with his hands clasped together whispers, "When my heart is pure, when can I not see the Tathagata? Where my heart is pure, is not the Western Paradise?"

"The Lotus Land of Buddha!"

A huge image of Buddha formed behind Li Dangxin, as if he were the Buddha himself.

On lotus blossoms sat great Buddha statues, their radiant light showering down upon the earth and enveloping the entire Liangchan Temple.

Finally, the enormous Buddha descended from the heavens.

A look of surprise and delight appeared on the traveler's face.

"Is this the true Vajra of Buddhism?"

boom!

The Buddha's palm descended.

The traveler eventually transformed into a wisp of gold and quietly vanished from the world.

The white-robed monk whispered, "This is... making way."

The words fell.

A figure in a red robe hung high in the sky.

"Ye Yun!"

Li Dangxin put his hands together in prayer.

"As expected of the world's greatest Vajra, it's quite impressive that it could defeat my Buddhist avatar."

Ye Yun did not blame Li Dangxin; on the contrary, she appreciated him more.

The reason why Ye Yun was defeated by his clone was not because Ye Yun was inferior to him, but because he yielded the "Dao" and allowed Li Dangxin to maintain his invincible spirit.

As for the traveler.

With a thought, Ye Yun found himself with another traveler by his side.

Only then did Li Dangxin realize just how terrifying the man before him truly was.

The avatar of the Great Vajra of Buddhism can actually be condensed in a single thought.

"What a pity, even though I have the Buddhist fortune of the holy monk, this clone is still not as good as you."

Ye Yun was not arrogant. Although he could condense a Buddhist Vajra clone, it was indeed not as pure as Li Dangxin's.

The fact that Li Dangxin had just destroyed his clone also caused a portion of the Buddhist sect's fortune to be depleted.

"Ye Yun, what are you going to do?"

The aura emanating from Li Dangxin remained locked onto Ye Yun.

If he dares to make a move, even if he knows he is no match, he will still make a move.

Ye Yun smiled and said:

"The struggle for the great principles is one of annihilation if one does not contend."

"I promised the holy monk that Buddhism would have a pure land. If you are not willing to fight for it, why stop me?"

"Ryozen-ji Temple never gets involved in any disputes, so I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

Li Dangxin said slowly.

It seems that Ye Yun lost the bet just now.

"Both Northern Mang and Li Yang have destroyed Buddhism. I can provide a place for Buddhism to reside. Are you going to give up?"

Ye Yun said calmly.

Li Dangxin remained silent for a moment, as if he understood.

Why would his master transfer the Buddhist fortune and his own cultivation to Ye Yun?

Everything was for the sake of Buddhism.
