A spiritual object? Zheng Sheng looked at the golden boy with surprise, but quickly understood.

Jin Guang Temple is indeed different from other places. Whether it is the eighteen golden Buddha statues under the Mahavira Hall or the scriptures on the cliff, they all seem to have been left behind by someone.

"What kind of spirit?" Zheng Sheng asked.

"The relics of Master Yuanyi, and his golden skull."

"As long as you use your blood and these two spiritual objects to make gold lacquer, and then let me personally engrave the scriptures for you, you can initially cultivate the immovable Vajra body."

Jin Tongzi stepped forward and stared at Zheng Sheng. He was clearly an eleven or twelve-year-old kid, but he was precocious.

He continued.

"I can help you cultivate an immovable Vajra body, but you must agree to two conditions!"

Two conditions? Zheng Sheng looked at the Golden Boy. Although this little monk swore a lot and looked like a spirited young man, he seemed to be very smart.

At least he felt that when the Golden Boy was serious, he was much more reliable than Kukai next to him.

"What are the conditions?" Zheng Sheng asked, adding a couple more questions as he went along.

"If it's something I can do, I can agree to it; but if I feel there's any danger involved, then I'm sorry!"

"Nothing and no one is more important than my life!"

Jin Tongzi paused for a moment, seemingly having discerned Zheng Sheng's bottom line, and quickly raised his two demands.

"I understand. These two things aren't too difficult."

"The first thing you must do is, if one day you see or hear the 'Subduing Demons Chapter' of the Diamond Sutra, you must retrieve it and kill those Japanese devils who stole it!"

"And bring the Demon Subduing Chapter back here!"

"Okay!" Zheng Sheng nodded; this request wasn't unreasonable.

If he ever gets wind of the Demon Subduing Chapter, he will stop at nothing to reclaim it, even if the Golden Boy doesn't tell him.

Such a treasure, if it cannot be kept intact, I simply cannot sleep at night!

Moreover, he is now the successor of the Vajra Sutra, so it is only natural for him to take back what others stole from him!

"The second thing I want you to do is save the hundreds of thousands of people living under the Golden Light Temple."

Zheng Sheng's expression changed, and he suddenly looked down at the golden boy in front of him.

"Save the hundreds of thousands of people down this mountain? You're not kidding me?"

"Leaving aside the hundreds of thousands of golden apple snails in Shaluo County, and that golden apple snail ghost that's about to awaken, just consider that evil black Buddha under the Great Buddha Hall. Do you think we can handle it?"

"This evil Buddha has been sealed beneath Jin Guang Temple for over a thousand years. Even your Master Yuan Yi couldn't kill it a thousand years ago. Do you think I can handle it?"

Upon hearing Jin Tongzi make such an unrealistic request, Zheng Sheng's face turned cold, and he had already decided to use force.

He absolutely must cultivate the Immovable Vajra Body!

Since the Golden Boy is unwilling, then he'll have to suffer the consequences!

Jin Tongzi also noticed the change in Zheng Sheng's eyes, but he still stubbornly confronted Zheng Sheng.

"I don't want to, and forcing me won't work."

"The Vajra Sutra requires both internal and external cultivation to even begin. Even if you have now comprehended the Vajra Heart Sutra, without my help as the scribe to cultivate your Dharma body externally, you cannot possibly master the Immovable Vajra Body."

"Is that so?" Zheng Sheng narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Power boost activated!

His muscles swelled, his body instantly grew to two meters tall, his heart pounded like a drum, and a terrifying aura swept over us.

He drew the Demon-Slaying Blade from his waist, his arm flashing out afterimages as he instantly sliced ​​past a boulder beside him.

"Snap!"

With a few crisp sounds, the boulder beside him was instantly cleaved into several pieces, the cuts as smooth as a mirror. The terrifying blade energy even cut several gashes into the bushes behind him.

"This knife of mine was originally a pig-slaughtering knife that has been passed down for a hundred years. More pigs have died by this knife than you have eaten rice."

"Now I'll use it to vanquish the demons!"

"Are you sure your bald head is harder than my knife?"

Zheng Sheng's burly body pressed down, the Demon-Slaying Blade in his hand gleaming coldly, a stark contrast to his previous polite demeanor.

Upon seeing this scene, Kukai trembled with fear. The aura emanating from this person was terrifying, as if he had killed many people!

"Captain Zheng, let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"

"The Buddhist disciple is still just a child, too stubborn. Let me give him some advice!"

As Kukai spoke, he quickly pulled the Golden Boy aside.

"My little darling, do you even know what you just said? What's the situation outside? You still want to save hundreds of thousands of people outside? Do you really think you're some kind of savior? Let's just accept reality."

"But I promised my master I would be compassionate. So many people have fled to Jin Guang Temple; if I just watch them die, I won't have the face to face my master!"

"My little darling, what time is it now? What kind of shame do you have?"

"In prosperous times, you were compassionate and helped those in distress, and I didn't stop you. But now it's the end of the world, and we are both suffering. Let's save ourselves first!"

"Even if the old abbot were alive, he would definitely want you to live a good life!"

Kukai tried to persuade him for a long time before the Golden Boy finally relented and took a few steps back.

"Captain Zheng, I'm so sorry, the child was just being rude. I'll speak for him on his behalf for the second request."

Kukai walked over again with a smile.

"According to our estimates, the seal under the Great Buddha Hall can be maintained for at least three more days. During these three days, Jin Guang Temple will be safe, and the strange things in the city will not be able to get in."

"The Buddhist disciple will spend a day imprinting the Dharma body of the scriptures on you. After the Dharma body is imprinted, your strength will greatly increase. When we evacuate together, please cover the survivors who are fleeing."

"You don't need to deal with the evil Buddha sealed under Jin Guang Temple; you only need to deal with some ordinary strange occurrences along the way."

As he spoke, Konghai seemed afraid that Zheng Sheng would disagree, so he added a few more sentences.

"Captain Zheng should act according to his ability. If he can kill, he should. If he encounters a monster that is too strong, he can only blame his bad luck or the heavy sins he committed in his previous life."

"Well, your life and the Buddha's life are more important. Of course, it would be even better if you could save this humble monk as well."

After Kukai finished speaking, he smiled broadly and adopted a very humble attitude.

After listening, Zheng Sheng calmed down, his burly body returned to normal, and he looked at the Golden Boy.

"I can accept this condition."

"I will clear a path and rush out. Whether they can escape or not depends on their own fate."

"However, this place is too dangerous. Can we leave first and then carve the Vajra Body later?"

The Golden Boy shook his head and said slowly.

"The Mahavira Hall of Jinguang Temple is the best place for Dharma assemblies, and the entire temple exudes a Buddhist rhythm."

"The best place to have the seal engraved is in the Mahavira Hall."

"Moreover, the carving of the Dharma body requires the monks of the temple to recite the Diamond Sutra, at least a hundred people, which is a necessary step."

Zheng Sheng frowned, looking at the scriptures on the cliff face, somewhat hesitant.

Something was very wrong with Shaluo County; the sight of those people with snails made him vaguely uneasy.

The evil Buddha underground is no benevolent figure either.

If it weren't for the ancient heritage of Jinguang Temple, he would have run away long ago!

However, as he looked at the scriptures on the rock wall, he always had a certain feeling.

This scripture is very important. If you miss it this time, you will never have the chance to read it again!

Putting aside everything else, it was impossible for all one hundred monks in the temple to escape alive.

He was confident he could take Kukai and Kintoki with him, but if he took all the monks from the temple, many would surely die on the way.

"It seems I have no choice but to imprint the Dharma body first before leaving."

Zheng Sheng made a decision.

The engraving of the Dharma body only takes one day, and the protective barrier can last for more than three days. There is still plenty of time, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Once the Dharma Body is imprinted and one's strength increases again, the blessed land will resist the Sea of ​​Life-Giving Conch in the city, and they will leave from the back mountain.

Moreover, even if that terrifying golden apple snail monster really chases after them, there are still 7 to 8 people in the gathering place, so it should be a "nine out of ten chance of death".

In this hellish world, if you're afraid of everything, you'll only die faster!

"Golden Boy, then it's settled. I will kill as many demons as I can within my power."

"But if I encounter danger, I'll prioritize saving my life and go first!"

"Oh, and also, if I save them and they still act foolishly and try to get themselves killed, then they can't blame me!"

Jin Tongzi looked at Zheng Sheng and nodded silently.

"I understand. If they choose to go and die, that's their own karma. Amitabha!"

The two quickly reached an agreement, and the atmosphere eased considerably.

"Then let's go, I'll take you to retrieve the relics and golden body of Patriarch Yuanyi."

As Jin Tongzi spoke, he led Zheng Sheng back to the Great Buddha Hall.
