Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 134: Buddhism does not recognize the law - the word "lie"
Although Nanyang City is a gambling city, it has done a good job of disguise. On the surface, it looks like a large farm house suitable for retirement.
Li Yanmo and two other people rented a yard.
Thinking that he might as well be free, Li Yanmo tentatively asked Dao Hai if he had any simple and easy-to-understand tricks to teach him.
"Brother Li, do you want to learn my Buddhist spells?" Dao Hai was surprised. After a slight hesitation, he whispered, "Brother Li, listen to my advice. Once you enter Buddhism, it's like entering a deep sea. Don't believe the nonsense those people say."
Li Yanmo was speechless for a moment, "I just want to learn some moves that sound decent, is there any secret you can pass on?"
Before Dao Hai could say anything, Leng Ningshuang was already upset, "Wait a minute - Brother Li, why don't you want to learn my military spells? My military spells are more powerful than Buddhist spells!"
Li Yanmo raised his hands helplessly, "I have read a lot of spells in Tianxu Tower, all in classical Chinese, which is really too complicated - of course, it may also be that I am not smart enough."
"Oh, I see. There really is nothing we can do about it."
Daohai pinched his chin, looked Li Yanmo up and down, and after thinking for a while, he came up with an idea, "Brother Li, my Buddhist sect does have a secret that can be passed on. Maybe you can try to learn it. The requirements for cultivation are not high, and you can even learn it by practicing Qi."
"oh?"
"It's called lying."
"...What?" Li Yanmo suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Lies, also known as the art of lying, was comprehended by a great Buddhist master after being enlightened by a great scholar. However, because its power is too strong, all Buddhist disciples must return to secular life before using this trick. Other cultivators must not know that our Buddhist sect has mastered such a profound secret," Dao Hai shook his head and spoke coherently.
But Li Yanmo felt something was odd, so he asked, "So, what's the truth?"
"That great man had an argument with a great scholar, and was so insulted that he began to doubt his life. After returning to India, he thought about it day and night, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Finally, he figured out the trick of lying, and he was determined to use it to take revenge."
"So...did this great man take revenge?"
"No, the great scholar had already passed away before that great man realized the secret of deception."
Li Yanmo covered his face and took a deep breath, then his expression became stiff. "This isn't just simple cursing, is it?"
Dao Hai's face straightened and he corrected, "Its scientific name is the Lie Word Technique. It refers to the principle that a great scholar can mobilize the righteousness of heaven and earth within a radius of 100 miles with a loud shout. It can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to suppress the target's mind, making the target's thinking logic slow, ensuring that the other party will not talk back when scolded."
"I suddenly... don't really want to..."
"Forget it, forget it. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. I'd better take you to see this deception technique."
As he spoke, Daohai had already pressed down on Li Yanmo's shoulders. The world turned upside down, and when Li Yanmo came to his senses, he was already standing on a plain. Not far away, a huge monster was staring at him and Daohai blankly.
"What is that..."
"Human! How dare you trespass into my territory!"
The monster became furious and rushed towards Li Yanmo and Dao Hai with a roar, suppressing its terrifying aura without any concealment.
This is a Nascent Soul demon!
"Brother Li, look carefully, this is the key to lying——"
Facing the ferocious attack of the Nascent Soul demon, Dao Hai smiled indifferently, his eyes widened, his face ferocious, like an angry King Kong.
"Shut up! Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
With a roar of anger, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the green grass on the entire plain fell completely to one side. The face of the Nascent Soul monster was shaking in the wind, as if its skin and flesh would fly away with the white clouds in the next second.
When the wind died down, all the grass slowly returned to its normal position, while the ferocious Nascent Soul demon just stood there in a daze, not moving at all, as if the whole demon had gone stupid.
Dao Hai casually straightened his clothes and looked at Li Yanmo with clear eyes.
“Brother Li, this is the profound meaning of the Lie Technique. No matter how you insult this Nascent Soul Demon from now on, it won’t dare to make a sound.”
Li Yanmo: "..."
First of all, Dao Hai’s cultivation must be higher than that of this Nascent Soul demon.
Secondly…
"So the way the mighty one seeks revenge is to kill the person before he gets blasted?"
"Of course not. This word of deception is just talk."
Li Yanmo imagined Dao Hai's ferocious face just now, and then glanced at the direction of the Yuanying monster. At this time, liquid was dripping between the legs of the Yuanying monster. Obviously, this Yuanying monster was scared to death.
Just saying...
Who are you kidding!
"Well, Daohai, don't you think that your cultivation played a big role in your ability to intimidate this great demon?"
Li Yanmo helplessly pointed out the fatal flaw in Daohai's deception strategy, but Hai disagreed and even asked back.
"Brother Li, this is a spell, so naturally the higher your cultivation level, the better."
Li Yanmo was speechless. "Then how can I learn? There is no need for me to use the Lie Technique on those who are weaker than me. As for those who are taller than me... am I using the Lie Technique because I think they are not dying fast enough?"
"Brother Li, this is wrong. The beauty of this trick is that it disrupts the opponent's thoughts and prolongs the time the opponent is confused. Sometimes it has a miraculous effect on people with higher cultivation than you."
“Is this true or false?”
"You're being scolded by a weakling who you can easily kill, aren't you confused?"
Li Yanmo was speechless again.
If a small fry yelled at him, "Shut up, believe it or not, I'm going to kill you," his first reaction would definitely be confusion, wondering how this small fry dared to do that.
But here’s the thing…
"And then what?"
"Oh - Brother Li, the spells you will use later are all the secrets of our Buddhist sect. Please forgive me."
Damn it, they only teach people to fight monsters of higher levels, but don't tell people how to fight monsters of higher levels!
Li Yanmo suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and felt that he should not ask Daohai to teach him some secrets. It would be better to use this time to learn more classical Chinese so that he could comprehend the military techniques sooner.
At this time Dao Hai suddenly spoke again, "Speaking of which, Brother Li, can your trick of persuading people to study be used on people with higher cultivation?"
Li Yanmo didn't know why Hai suddenly mentioned persuading people to study, but he still answered, "Theoretically, it's possible, but if someone with a higher level of cultivation intends to stop it, then my persuasion will be useless."
Dao Hai pinched his chin, thought for a moment, then raised his brows, "Brother Li, if you use the deception technique to intimidate the other party first, and then use persuasion to learn..."
Daohai didn't finish what he said, but Li Yanmo almost knew what Daohai wanted to express.
Li Yanmo had a strange expression on his face. "It seems... it's not impossible?"
In order to prove the feasibility of this combination of skills, Li Yanmo finally decided to learn the trick of lying.
Of course, for the sake of his own life, Li Yanmo felt that he should not be too ambitious and imitate high-level masters like Daohai.
"Brother Li, remember, the trick to this deception technique lies in your mental strength. You must be confident enough and scold the other party with great confidence that no one else can do it better than you. Only in this way can you disturb the other party's mind with the deception technique!"
Under the patient teaching of Master Daohai, Li Yanmo mastered the trick of the lie technique in less than half a day.
