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 32 Just tell me whether it is fast or not
"Brother Li, I wonder how you plan to enter the military gate?"
After entering Risheng City, Daohai put his hands behind his back. He had none of the humility and courtesy he had in monk mode. His every move revealed his arrogance. His overly realistic acting reminded Li Yanmo of Leng Ningshuang.
"Don't worry, I have a special channel, and it is extremely secretive. No one knows that I am going to the military gate to meet someone."
"oh--"
Dao Hai became interested.
Li Yanmo raised his hand and fired a fireball the size of a basketball into the sky using the Fiery Palm and the Whirlwind Fist.
"Bang--"
The fireball explosion attracted a lot of people's attention.
Dao Hai's expression suddenly became subtle.
Is this...hidden?
In a moment, several constables ran out.
"Li Yanmo! What do you want to do this time!"
"Mr. Hai has just arrived, so I'm going to put on a show for him," Li Yanmo immediately put his arm around Daohai's shoulders.
Daohai didn’t know what Li Yanmo was up to, but he nodded anyway.
"Sunrise City prohibits the use of magic in the streets without reason! You are under arrest!"
In this way, Li Yanmo and Daohai were locked up in the cell.
Li Yanmo entered the cell as relaxed and leisurely as if he had returned to his own room, which made Daohai feel a little conflicted.
"Shi...Brother Li, is this the special channel you mentioned?"
"Of course, no one will care, so just wait with peace of mind."
Seeing that Li Yanmo said so, Daohai could only accept it reluctantly.
A moment later, Leng Ningshuang and Zuo Buqun came.
When seeing Dao Hai, Leng Ningshuang frowned and started to criticize and educate him, which scared Dao Hai so much that he thought Li Yanmo had killed someone in the street. Zuo Buqun was blocking Leng Ningshuang every day, and in the end, Leng Ningshuang kicked the door and left.
Just when Daohai thought that Zuo Buqun was the person Li Yanmo wanted to meet in the military gate, Leng Ningshuang, dressed up as a playboy, appeared in front of them again.
Daohai suddenly felt that Zuo Buqun was a little miserable.
Yellow Crane Tower, a flower-themed elegant room.
Daohai returned to his monk attire, and Leng Ningshuang appeared as a constable for the first time in the Yellow Crane Tower.
Dao Hai had a smiling face, but Leng Ningshuang had a frown on her face, and her mood was visibly bad.
"This...did I do something wrong?" Li Yanmo scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
Leng Ningshuang glanced at Li Yanmo and shook her head. "Brother Li, this has nothing to do with you. It was this bald ass who crossed the line."
After saying that, Leng Ningshuang glared at Dao Hai.
"The Buddhist sect and the military sect have an agreement. You are not allowed to enter the area under the jurisdiction of the military sect without permission, especially monks of your level!"
"I'm sorry about this, but I was forced to do it," Dao Hai shook his head and stopped laughing. "The people from the Demon Immortal Cult stole an evil treasure suppressed by our Jinshan Temple. We must recover it before causing more trouble."
"It's been more than half a year, and you at Jinshan Temple just noticed that the evil treasure was stolen?" Li Yanmo couldn't help but interrupt.
"…We discovered it when it was stolen, but the military gate refused to let us come. We have been arguing with the military gate for more than half a year."
Li Yanmo subconsciously looked at Leng Ningshuang.
Leng Ningshuang crossed her arms over her chest, persisted for a while with an imposing manner, and then avoided the sight.
"There are very complicated issues here, which cannot be explained in a few words."
"Uh... I thought the Dayu Dynasty didn't want Buddhism to interfere in the operation of the dynasty for various reasons, so it tried every means to keep Buddhism out." Li Yanmo scratched his head.
"...That's about it." Leng Ningshuang couldn't hold back her expression and emphasized it immediately.
"These bald donkeys have a criminal record! One of them even asked the Great Yu Dynasty to pay for the monks and replace the national law with Buddhism!"
Hearing this, Li Yanmo immediately looked towards Daohai.
Dao Hai scratched his bald head, showing a rare embarrassed expression, "It is true, ahem - so this time the abbot specifically warned me to follow the arrangements of the military sect in everything."
Leng Ningshuang snorted coldly, expressing doubt and distrust. Dao Hai had no choice but to continue touching his bald head, as if this could ease the embarrassment. But in fact, this did not work, so Dao Hai cast a look of help to Li Yanmo.
Li Yanmo didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward. After all, they didn't even know what the Demon Fairy Cult's trump card was, let alone how to counter it.
"Well - then, can you please tell me what evil treasure the Demon Immortal Cult stole?"
Dao Hai hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "It's a string of relics."
"Relics... can be used to turn animals into monsters?"
Li Yanmo was puzzled. In his impression, only great monks could produce relics after death.
"That is not an ordinary relic, but a demon relic condensed after the death of a white snake," Dao Hai explained, "It could have achieved enlightenment, but was trapped by obsession. Because of its ignorance, it gave rise to greed, and it was angry at the world, and finally failed. So the relic was also contaminated by the three thoughts and became a demon relic."
"If ordinary animals touch the demon relic, they will be corrupted by the three thoughts of greed, anger and ignorance and turn into demons."
"This is also where the problem gets even more difficult. In order to convert this relic, we pressed it under the pagoda and chanted sutras for it. As a result, all the demons transformed from the demon relic understand Buddhism."
"Brother Li, the tiger demon you saw, the Tiger Arhat, was affected by the demon relic."
Hearing this, Leng Ningshuang also put away her resistance to Buddhism, "Is there any way to counter that relic?"
"Unfortunately, that relic is the product of the White Snake's lifelong cultivation and obsession. If it is forcibly destroyed, it will only release the three filthy thoughts inside," Dao Hai shook his head and replied, "This matter was caused by the poor supervision of Jinshan Temple, but since it is on your military sect's territory, it naturally has to be handled according to your military sect's methods, so I suggest giving those animals a quick death to avoid suffering from the three filthy thoughts."
Leng Ningshuang hesitated, but Li Yanmo shook his head decisively, "No."
Dao Hai shook his head helplessly, as if he had known that Li Yanmo would refuse. "Donor, I know you pity those animals, but this is a different time."
"These are two different things. Even with the demon relic in hand, the Demon Immortal Cult still prioritizes stirring up the corrupt spirit in Risheng City. In the final analysis, this matter was caused by humans. Killing those animals can certainly solve the immediate problem, but it only pushes the human disaster away. They will only hide deeper and cause greater trouble."
Li Yanmo paused and emphasized.
"Good and evil are always in balance. If you try to take shortcuts, you will only get into greater trouble."
Daohai was startled and his left hand involuntarily clasped the Buddhist beads. After selecting several beads in succession, he clasped his hands together and bent down to Li Yanmo.
"I appreciate your advice. I wonder if you would allow me to go to the zoo and chant sutras for the animals?"
Li Yanmo was also quite worried about the demon relic that Daohai mentioned, so he nodded in agreement.
Anyway, his zoo is full of ordinary animals, so there is no need to worry about Daohai enlightening anyone by just reciting a few scriptures.
Leng Ningshuang also breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss with Li Yanmo the plan of taking advantage of the Demon Immortal Sect.
