The three returned to the main hall.

"These are the relics and golden skull of Master Yuanyi."

As the Golden Boy spoke, he took out an irregularly shaped raw stone the size of a pigeon egg and a skull from the large incense burner on the platform of the main hall.

Upon closer inspection, Zheng Sheng noticed that the surface of the relics and skull had a metallic sheen, as if they were made of some kind of metal. Furthermore, there was a layer of human skin on the skull, covered with densely packed scriptures written in gold paint.

"Originally, there was a complete golden statue of Master Yuanyi in the temple. Later, I ground it into powder and used it to make gold lacquer. Now only the relics and skull are left."

Kukai, who was standing nearby, also explained.

"Amitabha."

"Jinguang Temple remains peaceful to this day, and there are even more than 100,000 survivors living at the foot of the mountain. This is all because Buddhist disciples used the golden body of Master Yuanyi to write scriptures all over the entire Jinguang Temple."

"Presumably, even if Master Yoriichi knew, he wouldn't blame us."

Zheng Sheng nodded. If it were him, he would have done the same.

He looked at the Golden Boy and Kukai. Although they both had shaved heads, they both seemed to be neither fish nor fowl monks.

One looks like a spirited young man, but he is profound in Buddhist teachings and compassionate; the other looks like an enlightened monk, wearing a kasaya, but he is clearly a worldly person, selfish and ignorant of Buddhist teachings.

The contrast between the large and small ones is quite striking, and they complement each other well.

Jin Tongzi suddenly looked at Zheng Sheng's arm.

"Your tattoos, are they all fake? I just noticed, some parts have already faded."

Zheng Sheng remained expressionless and did not answer, but this was tantamount to acquiescing.

"If you want to carve the Vajra body, it's best to wash yourself clean, take a bath, burn incense, and calm your mind."

As the Golden Boy spoke, he found several monks, had them fetch a large bucket of water, and then ordered them to bring gold lacquer, various ritual implements, a writing brush, and gold needles...

Soon, only Zheng Sheng and his two companions remained in the main hall.

Zheng Sheng wasn't embarrassed at all when he saw that the Golden Boy had seen through his tattoos. He simply took off his clothes and washed off the tattoos and smoky makeup, restoring his original appearance.

Upon seeing Zheng Sheng's original appearance, Kukai was completely dumbfounded.

For some reason, he felt that Zheng Sheng was now much weaker than before.

With that refined and gentle appearance, is he really capable of defeating those terrifying monsters? Why has my sense of security from just now vanished so much?

The Golden Boy was not surprised. He possessed divine wisdom and a Buddhist heart, and he never judged people by their appearance, but only by their eyes and their heart.

In his eyes, Zheng Sheng had never changed; he still had some kindness, but not much, and he was a person who lived for himself.

"Hurry up, Shaluo County is no longer safe. Even if Jinguang Temple can hold out for three more days, the sooner the better."

"I have a feeling that there's something wrong with those snails outside..."

Zheng Sheng looked towards the outside of the Mahavira Hall.

He felt that the weather outside had become even more gloomy, and his heart felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on it, making it difficult to breathe.

His physical condition far surpasses that of ordinary people, and this instinctive bodily reaction is a reminder that danger may strike at any moment.

Golden Boy nodded, knowing that the situation was urgent and the sooner the better.

"Let's begin then. I actually prepared the materials for engraving the Diamond Sutra a long time ago, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a suitable person."

"If you hadn't shown up, I might have gone to see Jiang Guohua tomorrow, but after seeing you, I feel you're more suitable."

"Especially your blood, it has replenished the yang blood recorded in the scriptures; it truly is the will of Heaven!"

As Jin Tongzi spoke, he instructed Zheng Sheng to begin bleeding the body. Then, he brought out a huge purple-gold bowl, placed the relic and the golden skull inside, and began grinding them into powder.

The Golden Boy spoke as he applied the gold lacquer.

"Although the process of making gold lacquer is complicated, the most important elements are actually spiritual objects and yang blood."

"Although it wasn't written on the cliff face, my master said that the Immovable Vajra Dharma Body is also divided into three, six, and nine levels."

"The stronger the spiritual essence of the spiritual object and the more yang blood it contains, the better the effect of the gold lacquer."

"The golden body and relics of Master Yuanyi are already considered the finest spiritual objects. It's a pity that although your yang blood is of high quality, its concentration is too low."

"If we could obtain higher quality Yang blood, or even add multiple different types of Yang blood simultaneously, the Vajra Body would be even more effective!"

"Higher quality Yang blood? More types of Yang blood? Better effects?" Zheng Sheng's eyes lit up.

Higher quality Yang blood, although unavailable, can be added by oneself!

To produce more types of Yang Blood, Zheng Sheng went to the outside of the Great Buddha Hall and picked up Xiao Heizi, who was guarding the entrance of the Great Buddha Hall.

Make a cut on the hind leg, take a little black dog blood, and present it to the Golden Boy.

"This awakened black dog blood used for suppressing evil should also be considered a type of yang blood, right?"

The Golden Boy looked at the black dog blood in front of him, sniffed it hard, and then nodded vigorously, his eyes full of joy.

"Yes! Absolutely! I could tell it was extraordinary when I was spying on it in the temple just now."

"Such strong yang energy! It's like flames are burning!"

The Golden Boy looked at the Little Blackie with excitement, his eyes shining, wishing he could cut it open and bleed it on the spot.

"I want all your blood, the more the better!"

Soon, two golden bowls were placed in front of Zheng Sheng and Xiao Heizi.

Zheng Sheng nodded and patted Xiao Heizi's head. Xiao Heizi looked at him, and the two of them, one human and one dog, looked at each other and placed their hands on the golden bowl.

"Hey Dog, same old rules, but I'll go first this time!"

As Zheng Sheng spoke, he stabbed his wrist, and blood flowed continuously into the golden bowl.

He was about to stab Xiao Heizi when he saw Xiao Heizi gently shake his head and call out.

"Woof woof woof."

This time, it wants to do it itself!

After Xiao Heizi finished shouting, it bit the Demon-Slaying Blade and slashed its own front leg, but accidentally cut too deep, and blood gushed out.

"Woof~"

How come that knife is so sharp? I think I accidentally cut my Achilles tendon. It hurts like hell!

Zheng Sheng looked at Xiao Heizi with satisfaction and a touch of emotion on his face.

Since he kept adding points to himself, Xiao Heizi has become smarter and more sensible.

He even suspected that one day when he woke up, Xiao Heizi might suddenly start talking; it wasn't impossible.

After all, in myths and legends, those great monsters can all speak human language, and some powerful ones can even transform into human form!

Unfortunately, it's a male dog...

"Woof woof."

Xiao Heizi looked at Zheng Sheng and suddenly started drawing on the floor with its paws. It drew an abstract big dog and several small dogs, with the dogs hugging each other.

Then Xiao Heizi looked at him with a resentful gaze.

Zheng Sheng understood immediately after just one glance.

"Haha, Little Blackie, I'll definitely keep my promise to you."

"But where am I supposed to find you some female puppies in this desolate wilderness?"

"Woof woof!" Little Blackie pointed with its paw at the outside of the Great Buddha Hall, then drew a crooked tent on the ground, with a dog drawn at the entrance of the tent.

"You mean there are dogs in the settlement? When did you see them?"

Xiao Heizi gestured briefly, and Zheng Sheng quickly understood.

This means that it has excellent eyesight. As soon as it entered the area of ​​Jin Guang Temple, it looked around and had already spotted several of its companions.

"Woof woof woof?"

"Haha, Brother Dog, why would I lie to you! But let's talk about it after I've finished what I need to do here."
