Chapter 187 Stealing the Master's Skill, Confessing, A Few Things About Buddhism

"The Inspection Division is truly full of talented people."

"Of course!"

Sha Wujin glanced sideways at Zhenyuan Daojun, whose words carried a hint of envy.

True Origin Dao Lord is an elder of the Immortal Sect Wangtian Sect. His cultivation has long reached the third rank, and he is quite famous in the Immortal Sect territory.

It's just that Zhenyuan Daojun's mouth can sometimes be very foul, which has offended many people.

"In my opinion, your internal selection process this time should be able to identify quite a few promising talents."

At this moment, Master Yuanming, a Buddhist monk sitting to the side, smiled and said, "This humble monk should congratulate the benefactor who killed Wujin."

o

Sha Wujin laughed heartily, "I hope Master Yuanming's words are true."

But to Sha Wujin's surprise, the next second Master Yuanming said in a low voice, "However, this humble monk is somewhat puzzled as to why the people from the Inspection Division know my Buddhist techniques?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the bigwigs sitting nearby all looked puzzled.

Do the people in the Inspection Department know Buddhist practices?

Sha Wujin raised an eyebrow and glanced at the arena below, quickly noticing something amiss on the eighth-rank arena.

Zhao Fei, who uses Buddhist staff techniques!

Hey.

This kid actually knows how!

While Sha Wujin was surprised, he was also somewhat pleased, but Master Yuanming's expression was not good.

"That's interesting."

Sha Wujin chuckled and said, "Could this person have been a disciple of Buddhism in his younger days?"

Master Yuanming said calmly, "If that's the case, his cultivation should have been crippled."

With a forced smile, Zhenyuan Daojun said, "Couldn't you have escaped from your Buddhist sect?"

"Who doesn't know that you Buddhist sects appear peaceful on the surface, but are actually the most ruthless?"

"Any disciple who joins your Buddhist sect and wants to leave is either beaten to death or stripped of their cultivation. Do people know that your Buddhist sect is not a good place, so they secretly run away and join the Investigation Department instead?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yuanming's expression immediately turned cold: "True Yuan Daojun, please don't talk nonsense."

True Origin Daoist said with a disdainful look: "Bald monk Yuanming, who among us doesn't know whether I'm talking nonsense or not? It's just that no one has pointed it out."

"It seems your Buddhist sect has been rather unsettled lately, with several temples and sects opening branches in our Wangtian Sect's territory!"

"What's wrong? The people under the jurisdiction of our Wangtian Sect don't cultivate immortality techniques, but instead go to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist prayers, is that it?"

Seeing that True Yuan Daojun and Master Yuanming were fighting, Sha Wujin almost burst out laughing.

but.

The Buddhist sect has extended its reach into the territory of the Wangtian Sect, so it's understandable that Zhenyuan Daojun would speak out against it.

This is not just about finding talented cultivators under the Wangtian Sect's jurisdiction, but also about cutting off the Wangtian Sect's daily necessities.

Once Buddhist temples are opened under the rule of the Wangtian Sect, the people will be misled and all go to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. What will the Wangtian Sect eat then?

"Amitabha."

Master Yuanming chanted a Buddhist prayer, "True Yuan Daojun, the people need the Buddha, so we have come."

"It's not that we want to take over from your Wangtian Sect, but rather that the people under the Wangtian Sect's jurisdiction invited us to come over."

"You seem to have misunderstood cause and effect."

"Moreover, what we are discussing now is why this person knows my Buddhist practices."

True Origin Daoist sneered, "You're quite the expert at eating vegetarian food and worshipping Buddha. You've been receiving patrons all year round, and your mouth has become so sharp."

Master Yuanming's expression changed. What does it mean to receive a patron?

What Zhenyuan Daojun meant by these words was to compare their Buddhist sect to brothels and pleasure houses, wasn't it?

Otherwise, what kind of place would be used to entertain patrons?

"Zhen Yuan, you've gone too far!"

Yuan Ming's face turned ashen. "Our Buddhist sect is a place of purity; how can we tolerate such humiliation from you?"

True Essence Dao Lord remained completely unfazed: "What? You did this, and this old Daoist can't say anything about it?"

"you!"

"What are you glaring at me for? Let's go outside and have a fight!"

True Origin Daoist raised his chin. "This old Daoist hasn't been in a fight for decades. It's itching for a good match. Let's go outside and have a go!"

Master Yuanming: "————"

Let him go out and spar with True Origin Dao Lord; he can still hold his own.

Now, both sides are really angry with each other, and if they really go out, they might end up fighting!

True Yuan Daojun had already reached the third rank, while Yuan Ming had only broken through to the third rank in recent years. How could he be a match for True Yuan Daojun?

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

True Origin Dao Lord maintained his composure: "If you think I'm abusing my power, I can lower my cultivation level and fight you again."

Master Yuanming took a deep breath and said, "Amitabha, today is an internal examination of the Inspection Department. What is a battle between you and me?"

"Is this overshadowing the main event?"

"You may be shameless, but I, Zhen Yuan, still have my pride."

"Damn it."

Without hesitation, True Origin Daoist Lord uttered a curse.

Master Yuanming's noodles trembled. Instead of engaging with True Yuan Daojun, he looked at Sha Wujin and said, "Please, benefactor, give us..."

An explanation.

Sha Wujin was just enjoying the show when Master Yuanming suddenly mentioned him, which made him very unhappy.

You can argue all you want, why do you have to get hung up on such a trivial matter?

"What explanation?"

Sha Wujin remained calm. "Does that mean he can't become one of my Inspectorate personnel just because he practices Buddhist techniques?"

"Killing you, benefactor, you know that's not what I meant."

Master Yuanming said calmly, "Whether he is a Buddhist disciple or not, and how he learned Buddhist practices, must be clarified."

"Not interested."

Sha Wujin shrugged. "Since he's one of my inspectors, why bother clarifying the past?"

"I would also like to remind Master Yuanming that this is Tiandu, not your Buddhist Pure Land."

First, he suffered a setback at the hands of True Origin Daoist, and now he has been rebuffed by Killing Inexhaustible, making Master Yuanming's face very ugly.

Killing Wujin wasn't a reminder to him, but a warning.

Regardless of whether Zhao Fei was a Buddhist disciple before, and regardless of where he learned Buddhist techniques, he is now a disciple of the Ji sect.

Chas's men!

Moreover, this is Tiandu, not under the jurisdiction of Buddhism. Even Master Yuanming is not allowed to cause trouble in Tiandu.

Otherwise, neither side will save face.

"Hehehe, this bald monk is speechless after being humiliated."

Seeing that Master Yuanming remained silent after being relentlessly attacked, Daoist Zhenyuan couldn't help but tease him, adding fuel to the fire by saying, "Yuanming, if I were you, I would just kill this kind of thief and traitor without saying a word."

"After all, you do this on your own turf, so why are you so calm now that you're in Tiandu?"

Master Yuanming focused his attention on his nose and his mind, completely ignoring the words of True Origin Daoist.

but.

Master Yuanming's prayer beads spun faster and faster, and he harbored resentment towards the two True Yuan Dao Lords.

"It sounds like they're arguing over there?"

In the audience seats, Su Wuchen glanced out of the corner of his eye at the location of Sha Wujin and the others, and noticed something amiss.

The same applies to Zhang Quan and his group.

"It looks like they had an argument. Look at that Master Yuanming, his bracelet is practically spinning out of control."

"I think they were arguing because of Zhao Fei."

Li Mao glanced at Zhao Fei on the arena and gave an affirmative answer.

"what?"

Why do you say that?

"Haven't you heard that Buddhist practices are not to be shared with outsiders?"

Li Mao looked at Su Wuchen with some doubt and said, "Any disciple of the Buddhist sect who wants to leave must pass a trial."

"However, the so-called 'passing the level' is nothing more than dying in a different way."

"Since the founding of Buddhism, very few people have been able to successfully pass through the hurdles and descend the mountain! Once you've been a monk for a day, you're a monk for life."

Zhang Quan burst out laughing. "I can't even sneak out like that?"

Li Mao glanced at him sideways. "Run away? Anyone who runs away will be regarded as a traitor to the sect. Such a person would be lucky to even escape the sect's territory, let alone get out."

"Most of them were caught and taken back before they even left the sect's territory, their cultivation was destroyed, and they were forced to toil day and night as repentance for their actions!"

hiss.

Su Wuchen couldn't help but gasp, "Is it that serious?"

"That's not all!"

Li Mao said softly, "The Buddhist sect has always appeared peaceful on the surface, but in reality, they are ruthless and vicious."

"I accidentally obtained a Buddhist cultivation technique before, which seemed to resonate with me to some extent. I wanted to practice it properly, but I didn't know how the Buddhist disciples got wind of it and came to my door."

Shi Lei: "Forcing you to hand over your martial arts techniques?"

Li Mao nodded emphatically, "They're not just forcing me to hand over my cultivation techniques, they're making me pay for my own cultivation in front of everyone, so I can never cultivate again!"

"Ghostly."

Su Wuchen and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shi Lei was somewhat unconvinced: "Isn't this fucking too domineering?"

"Regardless, the cultivation method is in their hands; they can cultivate it however they want. It's none of their business to meddle."

"It's one thing for those Buddhist sect members to cause trouble and act recklessly on their own turf, but why do they have to interfere so far?"

"Isn't that right!"

Li Mao nodded helplessly, "At the time, I was unwilling and didn't give them the cultivation technique. Who knew that they would openly say they didn't want it and leave, but secretly they sent people to attack me."

"If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't be standing here with you all in Naypyidaw!"

attack?

Is this even human?

Su Wuchen and the others gained a deeper understanding of Buddhism.

"So they didn't continue hunting you down?"

"I was lucky enough to join the Inspection Department."

Li Mao chuckled and said, "If I didn't have this identity as an inspector, do you think I could sit here with peace of mind?"

No wonder.

Su Wuchen nodded in realization.

This is somewhat similar to when they were in the secret realm, where they were far more powerful than the Mingfeng Temple's techniques, and those people relentlessly pursued them.

Fortunately, they later became members of the Inspectorate and escaped the monks' pursuit.

Otherwise, they will suffer too.

"If Buddhism is so domineering, why don't the people under its rule flee to the martial arts alliance or the territories of the immortal sects?"

Shi Lei stroked his chin, a hint of suspicion on his face. "Surely they haven't simply taken control of all the passages and banned the people under their jurisdiction from traveling?"

Li Mao shook his head. "No, even if they really wanted to do that, they couldn't."

The three major cultivation regions are not only inhabited by cultivators, but also by countless mortals.

These people cannot cultivate themselves, but they still need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

If all the passages are cut off, how will merchants travel between each other and transport goods from one place to another?

"However, Buddhism is adept at persuasion, and most of the people under its rule are Buddhists!"

"Imagine a family of four: a father, a mother, a son, and a daughter. If even one of them is a Buddhist, then..."

Can anyone else escape?

"I'm afraid that the moment this thought arises, I'll be betrayed by my closest loved ones."

"————?"

Holy crap.

Shi Lei's eyes widened. "This isn't some kind of seduction; it's clearly coercion!"

Li Mao shrugged. "People call it piety."

"Piety?"

"Piety my ass."

Zhang Quan pursed his lips. "Using the lives of others' relatives as leverage to force ordinary people to stay, what kind of Buddhist sect is this? It's clearly a demonic sect."

"Shh!"

"Speaking so loudly, are you out of your mind?"

Li Mao immediately looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then whispered, "So despite the increased propaganda efforts of Buddhism in recent years, not many ordinary people actually go to Buddhist territories."

"Everyone knows it, but no one has called it out on it, to save them some face."

Gee tut.

That's really respectable.

Su Wuchen and the others exchanged smiles.

Suddenly, Shi Lei coughed. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's watch Thunder and the arena."

Shi Lei's sudden change made Su Wuchen and the others look over in surprise, only to find that several Buddhist disciples were walking over from not far away, seemingly about to leave.

Su Wuchen and the others immediately understood and shut their mouths, focusing their attention on the arena. They only laughed after the Buddhist disciples had walked past them and left the competition area.

There's a kind of humor in it that comes from someone badmouthing you behind your back and almost getting caught in front of you.

Just then, Zhao Fei on the arena successfully defeated his opponent using Buddhist staff techniques.

"Thank you for your concession."

Zhao Fei smiled, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and turned to walk off the stage.

Upon arriving before Su Wuchen and the others, Zhao Fei raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Well, did you manage to disgrace Huzhou?"

"That's right, that's right."

"Brother Fei is awesome!"

"Brother Fei, have an apple."

"Why are you eating apples? Move aside and let my thirty-meter-long sword peel a pear for Brother Fei."

That's enough.

Zhao Fei was immediately amused.

They were all so eager to please, showering her with apples and pears, making it seem like the competition was over.

"Once the eighth-rank competition is over and I'm still standing on the stage, then you can celebrate for me."

"Oh, you're dreaming."

Su Wuchen grinned, "Do you know how many people participate in the eighth rank? You still want to stand until the end? Unless you break the eighth rank limit, there is absolutely no possibility."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Zhao Fei arrogantly raised his chin. "Besides, I'm not exactly weak, okay?"

Shi Lei: "Yes, yes, there's always something to strive for. What if we actually achieve it?"

Zhao Fei: "————?"
