Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Originally, you didn’t have much confidence in dealing with the great demon that was suppressed under the temple.
[After all, time was limited. Even if your talent was heaven-defying, your cultivation realm wouldn’t rise so quickly in this Small World.
[When the second monk arrived, this proved that the plot had already begun and wouldn’t give you too much time to cultivate.
[It wasn’t until the appearance of the third monk that you saw a glimmer of hope.
[Although Monk Grunter’s appearance was too horrible to look at, he had real abilities. He was at the 3rd Level of the Zen Master realm.
!!
[According to your daily conversations with Monk Void, that person who had never seen his master seemed to be only slightly stronger than Monk Grunter.
[Monk Grunter had already finished eating. He patted his stomach in satisfaction and said to Monk Void and Monk Virtue, “Junior Brothers, what do you mean? I came here specifically to help, and you want to kick me out? Are you trying to kick me out so that you can share the reward given by the Bodhisattva?”
[Although Monk Grunter sounded like he was joking, the expression on his face was a little unfriendly.
[You suddenly understood. It turned out that the Bodhisattva of this world would give a reward for guarding and suppressing that great demon. You had seen this with your own eyes.
[Li Gang had only offered some money and was blessed by the Bodhisattva here. As for guarding the great demon for the Bodhisattva, just thinking about it, one could imagine how rich the reward would be.
[Seeing Monk Grunter speak like this, Monk Void and Monk Virtue did not dare to say anything. They could only let Monk Grunter live in the temple.
[Just like that, the three monks finally gathered. The real story was about to begin.]
…
[On the 14th day, the small temple on the mountain was as carefree as ever. Because you took on the task of fetching water, the three monks didn’t fall out over this matter. However, Monk Void and Monk Virtue had always had a problem with the amount of food eaten by Monk Grunter.
[In a village at the foot of the small mountain…
[This was the village closest to the small temple. As it was closer to the mountain, the grain yield here was the worst. Therefore, this small village was very poor, with only a dozen households.
[However, there was complete silence in the village. Corpses were piled up in the middle of the village. Nests of mice were biting as if they were really eating.
[A palanquin was docked next to the nests of mice.
[Li Gang, who had come up the mountain to pray sincerely, was looking at the mice eating excitedly.
[Beside the palanquin, the eight palanquin carriers were also watching the scene in front of them calmly, as if they were used to it.
[Soon, the corpses were eaten clean by the mice, leaving only the white bones and the blood-red hearts.
[The mice were well-behaved, and none touched the hearts.
[Soon, nests of mice came from all directions, some with dozens of hearts, some with several hearts.
[All the hearts were placed in front of Li Gang.
“Sir, all the humans in the vicinity have been killed. A total of 3,782 hearts have been collected,” a driver said respectfully to Li Gang after a round of inspection.
[The smile on Li Gang’s face deepened, and he laughed out loud.
“Hahaha, after waiting for so many years, we can finally save the ancestor. More than 3,000 hearts are enough. There was originally one monk in the temple, but now there are two. This proves that the ancestor’s seal is about to be loosened.
“We only need to wait for a few days and then use the blood sacrifice to awaken the ancestor’s consciousness. We only need to break the jade bottle in the statue’s hand at that time, and we can save the ancestor.”
[As he spoke, Li Gang’s appearance began to change. His original height of 1.7 meters became about 1.2 meters. The shape of his face kept changing, and finally, he turned into a giant mouse that stood up.
[The eight drivers also laughed loudly at the same time and transformed into their original forms. They were actually mice that were 1-meter in size.]
…
[On the 16th day, after working hard day and night, your cultivation has successfully reached the 7th Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm. On this day, you were all sitting in the temple, having your morning exercises.
[Monk Grunter’s eyes, which had originally been narrowed into a slit, instantly widened, and then his face turned gloomy.
[They had all been chanting scriptures together, and the remaining three naturally saw Monk Grunter’s sudden change.
[Monk Virtue immediately said, “Senior Brother Grunter, what made you so panicked? Could it be that something went wrong with the seal?”
[You and Monk Void also looked at Monk Grunter curiously. Actually, none of you knew much about seals. You only knew that chanting scriptures in the great hall could strengthen the seal.
[And now, Monk Grunter’s expression suddenly changed. Naturally, it made you think that there was a problem with the seal.
[Monk Grunter shook his head with an ugly expression and said, “Every 70 years, the seal will enter a period of weakness. This period is about to arrive. With us here reciting scriptures and augmenting it, there will naturally be no problem. However, Junior Brother, my Buddhist sense is very sensitive. Just now, I had a feeling that a fatal crisis was about to arrive. With my cultivation level, I can sometimes see my own fate.”
[Monk Grunter’s words astonished you. As an expert, his sixth sense of life and death was very accurate.
“Could it be that the great demon intends to escape in the next few days?”
[It was very obvious from Monk Grunter’s reaction that the other party was preparing to take action.
[Monk Virtue and Monk Void did not really believe Monk Grunter’s words. It was not that they did not believe it, but the main point was that this temple itself had the protection of a Bodhisattva. Ordinary demons and beasts had no way of getting close to the temple.
[Still, Monk Void asked for Monk Grunter’s opinion out of consideration, “I wonder what Senior Brother thinks we should do?”
[Monk Grunter pondered for a moment. He originally thought this was a simple mission to strengthen the seal, but he did not expect his life to be in danger.
[Naturally, the most important thing now was to resolve the crisis.
[Following that, Monk Grunter said with some hesitation, “This matter is of great importance. Only by increasing our strength can we deal with the following difficulties.
“How about this? I will pa.s.s you the Great Compa.s.sion Heavenly Wheel Heart Seal Scripture. This is a more profound Buddhist mental cultivation technique. You don’t need to comprehend too much. That combined attack method will do.”
[As he said that, Monk Grunter took out a scripture book from his fat bosom.
[Obviously, this was a high-end mental cultivation technique that only a Zen Master could obtain. However, due to the urgency of the situation, Monk Grunter could not care much about it.
[Yours, Monk Void, Monk Virtue’s eyes lit up at the same time. What you were currently cultivating was that unknown Buddhist cultivation technique. Although the effect was quite good, it didn’t even have a name.
‘It definitely can’t be compared to this mental cultivation technique, whose name sounds very high-end.’
[After Monk Void and Monk Virtue read it once, they memorized the contents of the scripture and began to recite the cultivation combined attack technique.
[On the other hand, the moment you saw the Buddhist scripture, your eyes suddenly lit up.]
