The Buddhist monk glared at Shen Zhao with resentment, while simultaneously hating the female shopkeeper to the core.
He shouldn't have trusted that woman so much.
Who are you?
*Snap*
"Now I'm asking you questions, not the other way around. You'd better be honest and give me the answers I want, so you can avoid getting hurt."
"This Buddhist disciple..."
*Snap*
"Still trying to argue with me, huh? Fine, then I'll go through the trouble of turning you into the Heavenly Jade Pot."
After saying that, Shen Zhao took out a serrated blade from his pocket, aimed it at the Buddha's head, and squinted.
"I'm sorry, this is my first time doing such a delicate job. Please forgive me if I don't do it well."
After saying that, he dragged him to the bedside, then stepped on the back of his neck and prepared to saw the back of his head.
"No, I said, my Buddhist name is Heng."
"Heng?"
"Yes!"
What is your relationship with the city of Shida?
“I am a disciple of the Lingshan Sect. The three chief monks of Shituo City are my senior brothers. I have come here specifically to collect the newly forged magical artifacts and return them to Lingshan for the sect leader to handle.”
Who are the chief ministers of Shida City?
"The chief monk is angry with the King of Light, the second monk is about to fall into depravity, and the assistant monk sighs with sorrow and joy."
"hehe."
Shen Zhao sneered, then looked at Mu Qiuyao.
"You're really curious about what the Flesh Lotus is? Then let this Buddhist monk Heng describe it to you."
After saying that, he used some force with his foot and said sternly, "Speak, briefly explain the process of picking lotus flowers."
Heng Fuzi nodded painfully, then said, word by word, "The so-called flesh lotus is a vessel for the Dharma obtained from a suitable yin body. The lotus is a symbol of Buddhism..."
Get to the point!
"yes."
"The so-called Yin body refers to a beautiful young girl from an ordinary family. Of course, a female cultivator with a certain level of cultivation and considerable beauty is even more superior."
The procedure involved first imprisoning them in a sealed space, then bathing them clean, and over eighteen days and nights, having their bodies broken open by the Vajra Pestle of Supreme Yang.
Then they were tied to wooden stakes and their bodies were slowly roasted over a low fire.
"Ensure the vulva is full and round, with an inner lotus shape, then the monk with the knife can cut off the entire vulva. This is the origin of the flesh lotus..."
Even though Mu Qiuyao was prepared, she still felt her scalp tingle when she heard about such cruel methods used against women.
The female shopkeeper was trembling all over, hugging her knees and shrinking into a corner without saying a word.
"Evil cultivators, what's the difference between you and evil cultivators? You're even worse than evil cultivators! What kind of Buddhist holy land is this? It's simply a living hell!"
Ignoring Mu Qiuyao's shouts, Shen Zhao patted Heng Fuzi's head and said with a smile, "You're right, you're so obedient."
"Benefactors, this humble monk has said everything he needs to say. Please, let me go."
"Let you go? So you can go back and find people to kill us?"
"I swear to heaven, I would never do such a thing."
"real?"
"A monk does not lie!"
"Okay, then you can go."
After saying that, Shen Zhao released Heng Fuzi.
Heng Fuzi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately scrambled to leave the room.
He must inform the city of Shida about the situation here; these heretics must not be let off the hook.
But the next moment, he felt a chill on his neck.
Then a dizzying sensation followed, and the last thing I saw was my own back.
“I’ll send you to repent to Buddha, which will be considered keeping my promise.”
After physically liberating Heng Fuzi, Shen Zhao slowly sheathed the Dragon Scale Blade, and the smile on his face turned into extreme indifference.
Mu Qiuyao glanced at the corpse on the ground with disdain, and went straight to Shen Zhao and asked, "What should we do next?"
"We must quickly find the lineage of Master Xuanzang and then find a way to eliminate the three chief monks of Shituo City. This is the only way to stop the spread of evil."
"How can you be so sure that the lineage of Master Xuanzang definitely exists within the city of Shituo?"
"Based on the records in the Journey to the West, I have searched for any suspicious locations, except for the Kingdom of Shituo and the headquarters of the Lingshan Sect, which I have not yet thoroughly investigated. However, the Lingshan Sect headquarters must have an evil origin."
Its presence clashes with the overwhelming Buddhist aura of Master Xuanzang, making it unlikely that it's hidden on Mount Ling. Therefore, the only remaining possibility is Shituo City, the most terrifying place in the Journey to the West.
"Alright, now that we've set our goal, shall we set off now?"
"Of course, there's no time to lose."
Upon hearing this, the female shopkeeper immediately said, "Please wait here, you two!"
What are you doing?
"Gentlemen, I have a request. Could you please rescue my sisters from the city of Shita?"
"Hmph, don't forget, you were with these evil monks before. We've already shown you mercy by not killing you, and you even tried to frame us!"
"I...I had no choice...but if I didn't do this, my two sisters would be dead..."
"That's your problem. I'm not killing you because you're also under someone else's control. You still want to push your luck? That's just wishful thinking."
"But if I told you that I know of a special place within the city of Shita, would you be willing to help me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao frowned deeply.
Mu Qiuyao, who was standing nearby, advised, "Kid, this woman is wicked. Don't be soft-hearted. Why don't you just kill her?"
The woman hurriedly replied, "No, I really know of a special place. I've been to Shituo City several times; that place is unlike anything else."
It is designated as a forbidden area by the Silva, and even the three chief abbots dare not go there lightly. Perhaps this is the place you are looking for.
Shen Zhao frowned: "You didn't lie to us?"
The woman nodded repeatedly: "Absolutely not, I only beg you, young hero, to rescue my two sisters from this misery."
Mu Qiuyao said coldly, "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"
The woman said, "The Buddhist monk died in my inn. If the Buddhist monks investigate, I will surely die as well. How could I possibly deceive you?"
“Alright!” Shen Zhao made up his mind. “Then I’ll trust you this once.”
"Kid!"
"No need for further explanation, we have limited time and must take a gamble."
After speaking, Shen Zhao walked to the side of the Buddha's corpse, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"Perhaps, whether or not we can successfully obtain the Xuanzang inheritance depends on this corpse."
