Chapter 36 - Bodhi Bead

Chapter 36 Bodhi Bead

“The King sent me to patrol the mountains. I will tour the mortal world, beat my drum, and beat my gong. Life is full of rhythm…”

On the long and narrow mountain path, a small marten monster carried a small flag and patrolled the mountain. It walked to a mountain stream before putting down the flag and squatting by the water to drink.

A small yellow fish swam up and asked curiously, “Brother Marten, why are you still patrolling the mountain?”

“Sigh, don’t mention it. Isn’t it all because of that Buddhist monk? Ever since he came to our West Shu, our three races have suffered greatly. “It is said that almost all the demons who encountered him had died.”

“Although our Demon Division has already hidden, my boss still lets me out to patrol the mountain every day to pay attention to that monk’s movements.”

“Sigh! I really don’t know when this damned bald monk will leave West Shu. If this continues, I think our demons will have to consider moving out.”

Just as the two demons were sighing, a voice suddenly sounded from behind the marten. “Amitabha. Although I’m subduing demons and devils, I’m only after evil demons who kill. The two of you haven’t harmed anyone and don’t have any negative karma on you. I naturally won’t hurt you.”

The body of the marten monster that was drinking water instantly trembled. From the reflection in the water, it saw Li Xuanxin’s figure and ran away in fear. Its speed was even faster than the whirlwind.

“The monk is here! The monk has entered the mountain! Run!”

Only Li Xuanxin and the little yellow fish were left by the water.

After being shocked for three seconds, the little yellow fish immediately turned around and ran. However, to its surprise, it lost its composure and bumped into a huge rock.

The huge force made its head instantly dizzy. Before it felt dizzy, it could not help but cry and beg, “Master, please spare my life. I’m not delicious at all. I’m prickly and poisonous. I pee in the water and drink it myself. I poop and eat it myself. I’m not clean…”

Li Xuanxin sighed and shook his head.

The heavens could testify for him. Although he subdued demons and devils, he really did not go around killing the innocent, alright?

He would never harm demons without any demonic aura on them.

He had never eaten meat.

Why did it feel like his reputation among the three races was so tarnished?

This was clearly a rumor spread by those demons who deserved death to attract the hatred of the entire race.

It seemed that he had to expiate a few more demons today to fulfill his Buddhist heart!

However, before Li Xuanxin could leave the water, the forest in the distance stirred. Several figures emerged from the grass and surrounded him.

Among them was a wolf with a human head and a human-shaped crocodile… All of them were fiendish and had crimson eyes. Clearly, they were the demons in the mountain.

W

“Damn bald monk, how dare you barge into our demon territory! Do you really think that there’s no one in our demon race?”

“Brothers, kill him!”

“Strip him and eat his heart and lungs!”

The demons roared and rushed over…

Li Xuanxin was about to attack when she suddenly sensed something and did not use the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation.

Just as they were about to attack, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.

“Imperial Order—Heavenly Thunder Technique!”

Boom-!

With a boom, dozens of demons were reduced to dust.

The next moment, Ji Tianlin landed.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanxin, are you alright?”

Li Xuanxin nodded.

Ji Tianlin heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’ve been investigating the East County’s County Governor for the past few days. I didn’t expect to bump into Fellow Daoist Xuanxin today. Fortunately, I made it in time. These demons are not weak. If they join forces, I’m afraid they will harm you.”

Li Xuanxin did not continue the topic. These demons… Well, they might not even be able to break through his protective aura.

“Fellow Daoist, have you verified what I said?”

Ji Tianlin retracted the guilt on his face and immediately put on a serious expression.

“It has been verified and the authenticity of this matter has been confirmed. I have already sent a message to the Shu State Governor and brought the experts of the Fiend Suppression Division to the East County to capture the East County’s County Governor, Fu Yun.”

Li Xuanxin saw a black light appear on Ji Tianlin’s forehead. His eyes could not help but move.

This was an ominous sign!

Ever since he had comprehended the Buddhist Heavenly Eye, Li Xuanxin discovered that he could already vaguely see some auspicious or ferocious signs on others.

This might be a Buddhist Mystical Power. He already had a deeper understanding and communication with the power of heaven and earth.

Due to the tragedy of Old Monk Xing Yun and Ji Tianlin’s good character, Li Xuanxin kindly reminded,

“East County is Fu Yun’s territory and is filled with spies. Fellow Daoist, when you investigate, be wary of Fu Yun discovering you. You should make plans early and leave East County first.” Ji Tianlin did not expect Li Xuanxin to think of this. After being slightly stunned, he smiled and said,

“Fellow Daoist Xuanxin, you’re being too serious. Although Fu Yun is the County Governor of the East County, he might not have the ability. I’m only asking some small sects about it.”

“In addition, the experts sent by the Imperial Court will arrive in a few days. I just need to wait a little longer and it will be Fu Yun’s end.”

There was another reason why Ji Tianlin said that. It was because of his strength.

Two years ago, he was already second on the Talent Ranking. He had a cultivation of 2,400 years, and now, he had already reached 2,600 years.

Even if Fu Yun really wanted to kill him, he had a chance to escape.

Li Xuanxin did not say anything else. Everything was fate. There were some things that others would not believe unless they encountered trouble.

Moreover, with Ji Tianlin’s strength, there should not be many people who could threaten his life.

“That’s for the best. However, you should still be careful.”

Ji Tianlin nodded.

“Speaking of which, have you seen that Sacred Monk from your Spirit Platform Temple recently?”

Li Xuanxin shook his head.

“No.”

Ji Tianlin sighed deeply and smiled bitterly. “I’ve been in West Shu for more than a year and haven’t found that Sacred Monk. It seems that it’s difficult to find him now.”

“In another year and a half, it will be the Great Zhou Martial Dao Meeting. I have to return to the sect to prepare. I can’t continue searching… Sigh, that’s right.”

With that said, Ji Tianlin suddenly thought of something and took out a small golden bag from his waist.

It was the storage bag of a cultivator. It was extremely rare in the world. Li Xuanxin had noticed it the first time he saw Ji Tianlin.

Ji Tianlin took out a palm-sized golden Buddha Bead.

“This is the Bodhi Bead that Master Bodhi of the Bodhi Temple gave my master. It has a very strong Buddhist nature. I originally used it to find the Sacred Monk of the West Shu, but after searching for more than a year, I couldn’t find him. I can’t continue to search for the Sacred Monk for the time being, so I might as well hand it to you for the time being

“This is a Buddhist Supreme Treasure. Perhaps you can comprehend some insight from it.”

“In exchange, can you help me find that Sacred Monk?”
