[When you saw the demonic aura Li Gang exuded, you were shocked. After all, Li Gang was an official in this area and often came to pay respects to Buddha. The Bodhisattva had given him a lot of benefits. If this Li Gang was a demon, wouldn’t that be a slap to his face?
[However, you didn’t say it out loud. Instead, you turned around and looked at Monk Void.
[Monk Void’s expression did not change. It was unknown whether he already knew that Li Gang was a demon or not.
[Just as you were thinking about how to proceed, Li Gang, who had just finished kowtowing to the statue, walked to you and Monk Void and said, “Master Void, I have observed the veil next to the statue. It seems to be quite old. There is some dust on it, and it is a little shabby. I will get someone to send over a new one to replace it.”
[When you heard this, your eyes immediately lit up. You clearly remembered that in the story of The Three Buddhist Priests, the mouse knocked over the candlestick and lit the veil that caused the temple to burn.
[As for the three monks, they could only watch as the temple burned down since they did not have any water reserves.
‘Could it be that the mouse knocking over the candlestick was not a coincidence? The veil is so high that the candlestick cannot burn it. So, the culprit is actually Li Gang…’
[Monk Void naturally had no reason to reject the kind intentions of the pilgrims.
[Just like that, after Li Gang left a large amount of incense money, he sat on his palanquin and left.
[At night, when you were all reciting scriptures in the main hall, you were very puzzled and asked the two monks, “Senior Brothers, both of you said that there are demons suppressed under this temple. I wonder what kind of demons would be suppressed by Bodhisattva.”
[You had never understood this point.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[According to your observation, this temple has been established for at least a few hundred years. Although it didn’t have a lot of incense, it had always existed. Even if this was a Small World, the level of the Bodhisattva was definitely not low. For demons to be suppressed by the Bodhisattva, they should have some reputation.
[And that official, Li Gang, may have been the subordinate of the demons. He had been looking for an opportunity to rescue the demons.
[However, Monk Void and Monk Virtue both shook their heads and told you that they had heard from their master that there was a great demon suppressed below, not many demons. Their responsibility was to recite the scriptures here and strengthen the seal that suppressed the demon.
[You were at a loss for words. Then, you continued to close your eyes and cultivate.]
…
[On the 11th day, three days passed peacefully. Li Gang’s alms had improved the quality of life in the temple by a lot. As usual, you filled the water tank to the brim.
[However, you had already thought of what you were going to face next. It was definitely not simple.
[The story of The Three Buddhist Priests and the fire in the temple in the end was obviously not an ordinary fire. According to the information you had gathered, it was obviously the great demon that had been suppressed and escaped.
‘A great demon that a Bodhisattva has suppressed for hundreds of years…’ You did not think that you and a few monks could handle it.
[Although your cultivation speed in Buddhism was fast, you had only reached the 5th Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm, which was barely on the same level as Monk Void. The power in your body could deal with some small demons, but if you encountered a great demon like that, you would be eaten by them in a minute.
[Fortunately, you saw a glimmer of hope on the way to fetch water.
[Originally, you were carrying two buckets of water and heading up the mountain. Suddenly, you felt an enormous wave of energy rapidly approaching from behind you.
[You almost thought that the enemy was attacking, so you hurriedly turned around to look.
[You saw a huge meatball flying rapidly in the air, heading straight for the temple at the top of the mountain.
“Flying? So powerful?”
[However, when you saw that the meatball was also bald, you immediately guessed that this was the last monk in The Three Buddhist Priests story.
[Still, you didn’t expect that this monk had such a high cultivation base. After all, it was extremely difficult to fly in this world.
[At the very least, neither Monk Void nor Monk Virtue could fly. Moreover, they had also said that even their master would need to spend some effort to fly.
[The meatball that had just passed by flew straight to the temple from where you were drawing water. This was already an indication of an extremely high cultivation level.
[You quickened your pace and rushed back to the temple.
[It happened to be dining time. Due to Li Gang’s alms, the temple had become wealthy again. Under your and Monk Virtue’s strong suggestions, the temple increased the meals to two instead of one daily.
“Hahaha, my two Junior Brothers, I didn’t expect the food here to be so good. I thought I would have to live a hard life here for a while…”
[The moment you entered the door, you heard a very bold but unfamiliar voice.
[Monk Void and Monk Virtue were looking at the food on the table with pained expressions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[The person in front of them had eaten all of their food.
“Senior Brother Grunter, why don’t you go back? We’ll be responsible for guarding the demon. This temple really can’t afford to feed you…” Monk Void said with a sorrowful expression.
[Indeed, when Li Gang saw that there were more people in the temple, he gave out more alms. According to Monk Void’s calculations, even if the three of them had two meals a day and ate and drank, they would still be able to last for three to four months.
[Now, this new Senior Brother would probably eat everything in less than a month.
[Only then did you seriously look at the fat monk. The monk was very short and was about the same height as Monk Void. However, that chubby figure was really hard to compliment.
[His entire body was under his head. The thick flesh had already covered his neck, making him look a little like the Japanese melon in the battle between plants and zombies.
[Looking at his age, this Senior Brother Grunter should be around 40 years old. However, looking at Monk Void and Monk Virtue, it was as if he was a primary school student seeing his teacher’s expression. You would know that this Senior Brother Grunter was definitely the shadow of the two of them.
“Greetings, Senior Brothers…”
[You slowly poured the water in the bucket into the water tank and bowed to the three monks.
[As you spoke, you used your Buddhist power and gathered it in your eyes. As expected, the feeling of being able to see through a person’s cultivation appeared once again.
[Monk Void was still the same as before. The five small balls of light represented the 5th Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm. Monk Virtue was the same, at the 7th Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm.
[When you looked at Monk Grunter’s body, your eyes immediately hurt. However, you could still see his cultivation level.
[The patterns in Monk Grunter’s body were different from those in Monk Void and Monk Virtue.
[It was like a big sun was circling around his body. There were three golden symbols around him. You guessed that when a 9th Level Buddhist Disciple broke through, the manifestation of their cultivation might become this big sun.
[As a realm, because there was no record of it, you called it the Zen Master realm.
[And this last monk’s cultivation was actually the terrifying 3rd Level of the Zen Master realm.]
