"My wife..."
After Xiaoqing and the others left, Xu Xian walked out from behind the hall. He had heard everything that had just been said.
"My lord, I want to go away and hide for a few days," Bai Suzhen said sadly. "I will come back after those monks leave."
"My wife..." Xu Xian swallowed hard. "I..."
He wanted to say he would leave, but the words of the two participants left him speechless. A mortal's lifespan is barely a hundred years; for him, perhaps only a few decades remained...
"I truly cannot bear to see lovesick men and women. The lifespans of ordinary people can differ by ten or twenty years. If you do not cherish the present, why are you already lost in the distant future?"
"If you ask me, since everyone is going to die anyway, what's the point of living? You eat and then you excrete, so you might as well not eat at all."
Si Zang pulled up a chair, sat down in front of the shop, and sighed repeatedly with his back to Xu Xian and the other man: "They're just Buddhist monks, aren't they? I'm not afraid of them, so why are you afraid?"
"Master, you're really good at handling this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Si Zang grabbed Lin Feng and said, "Look at him! Do you know what he is? The Heavenly Demon Star, understand? If any of those monks dare to anger him, he will directly unleash the Great Calamity of the End of Dharma, making even the Western Paradise kneel down!"
"Oh!" Before Bai Suzhen could even process the meaning of those words, Si Zang pulled Tang Hong over from the side: "And this... never mind, never mind, all you need to know is that if any problems arise, just run to his side."
That's amazing?
Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian immediately forgot their worries and looked at Tang Hong with shining eyes.
“Hey, that’s right, what’s there to be afraid of?” Si Zang was about to get smug when Lin Feng grabbed him and said, “Besides us, there are also those four Yin Si Tian people. If you encounter them, you can also seek refuge with the Buddhist monks. The Buddhist sect just wants to separate you, they won’t harm you.”
Thank you.
Xu Xian made up his mind and held Bai Suzhen's hand tightly: "My wife, no one can separate us!"
"Yes!" Bai Suzhen nodded heavily.
"Besides, according to this logic, we're going to die anyway. Since we're prepared to part ways in a way that's worse than death, why not give it our all? Is dying a cowardly death the right thing to do?" Si Zang said softly, pushing off with his feet, he spun around in the chair and looked at the sunlight outside the door.
Bathed in sunlight, Si Zang appeared tall and imposing, instantly evoking a strange feeling in Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.
Before he could feel that sensation for long, Si Zang stood up from his chair: "Alright, alright, you guys go ahead with your work, leave the rest to us."
With Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen temporarily relieved, Lin Feng, who had just stepped out of the shop, said, "Since the Buddhist sect has sent people to attack... Yin Sitian will definitely only make a move after we run into trouble. As for the four women, you protect Xu Xian, and I'll take care of the Buddhist sect members for now."
"Don't worry, none of those four women will be able to get in!" Tang Hong chuckled, the force of his grip creating a subtle sonic boom around him.
"Whatever." Si Zang leaned in: "Don't worry about it. As long as the sky doesn't fall, I'll find a way to get it back."
"Oh? So it's okay if I summon the Demon Star?" Lin Feng cast a strange look at him, having previously told him to be careful.
"Then let's report to the Heavenly Court. They'd be very happy to see you go against Buddhism." Si Zang chuckled and whispered, "Buddhism's fortune isn't that deep. Once you suppress the eminent monks of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Taoism will be much more comfortable."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed. If that's how it is, then it's much more interesting: "Understood. We'll go out of the city together this afternoon to meet them in the suburbs."
These people are all waiting, waiting for them to cause trouble with Buddhism, waiting for them to reveal their weaknesses.
Then let's see if Buddhism truly has this ability, and if it can truly represent this heaven!
...
In the afternoon, Lin Feng and the others left the city and found a secluded mountain area to wait quietly.
"Sister, why do you trust these people? Can the four of them really stop the Buddhist monks?" Xiaoqing followed them all the way, with the two participants behind her keeping a distance and following them into the wilderness without saying a word.
"Xiaoqing, they saved Xu Xian." Bai Suzhen glanced at Xu Xian. She chose to believe Lin Feng and the others, which was also a way of trusting the choices of those around her.
Only when they were certain they would no longer run away did a new idea emerge in their minds: whether they succeeded or failed, the couple would face the enemy together and share the consequences!
"Hmph." Xiaoqing snorted coldly, glancing at Xu Xian with some displeasure, before turning her attention to Si Zang.
She disliked both monks and Taoist priests.
Upon reaching the summit, Lin Feng and the others stopped. In the distance, they saw streaks of Buddhist light rising in the sky, and faint chanting of scriptures flowed into their ears.
Si Zang and the others stopped, while Lin Feng walked forward alone. Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen protected Xu Xian, and the other two participants moved a little closer before being forced away by Tang Hong's gaze.
A murderous glint flashed in Shi Wei's eyes, but looking at the Buddha's light in the sky, she suppressed her anger and led her teammates to change their location.
As long as Lin Feng and the others are involved in Buddhism, they will not hesitate to take action!
Lin Feng continued walking forward and came to an open space, where he stood alone in front of the sky full of Buddhist light.
If he disregarded the consequences, he could have suppressed Fahai within the city, just like Yin Sitian did, using the lives of the city's inhabitants to threaten Fahai, forcing him to protect the people with his golden alms bowl before dealing with them.
Or they could recklessly destroy Hangzhou, as long as Xu Xian survives and they complete their mission in twenty days, that would be enough.
However, all four of them acquiesced to the current situation, and none of them dared to take action. If Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen really escaped, even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. The only ending they wanted was for Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen to live openly and honestly in Hangzhou.
As for facing eight people, they may not necessarily be of one mind!
Once the four of them take the lead, the rest is up to each individual's abilities.
Lin Feng thought to himself, looking at Fahai walking towards him in the distance. His bald head was exceptionally bright under the Buddha's light, but unfortunately, it was a bald head.
"Amitabha Buddha, esteemed abbots, this is the demon!"
"I never imagined there were demons in this world!"
“Benefactor, demons are not the righteous path. Why not convert to Buddhism and return to the temple with us to eliminate demonic energy?”
"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."
More than twenty eminent Buddhist monks, clad in golden and red robes, emerged from the Buddha's light. Immediately afterward, chanting hymns rose from the mountains, carrying with them scattered patches of Buddha's light that covered the entire forest.
An unusually obvious change occurred on the closest tree. Each leaf was imprinted with a different Sanskrit character by the Buddha's light, and it trembled slowly with the faint sound of Sanskrit chanting, as if reciting scriptures.
"Amitabha Buddha, this tree possesses great potential for wisdom; it awaits the conclusion of this matter..."
Before He could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the calm Buddhist light. A demonic hand swept up a destructive aura, passed through space, and fiercely grabbed the tree trunk, piercing it with demonic power, turning the entire tree black.
"You! You wretched creature!"
The Sanskrit characters on the leaves lost their Buddhist light in an instant, and as the tree withered rapidly, they eventually turned into a cloud of black ash.
Lin Feng's gaze was cold and clear. With a slight exertion of force, a crystal of demonic power condensed on the tree trunk, completely destroying it.
"Amitabha."
Seeing this, Fahai suppressed his anger, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and then walked over step by step: "Demon, even if I am shattered to pieces today, this humble monk will still capture you!"
"Yeah?"
Lin Feng's gaze had already turned icy. He then swept it over the anger between Fahai's brows and slowly said, "Fahai, not only will you not be able to take anyone away today, but... I will protect Xu Xian's family!"
A few simple words flowed from his mouth, and his cold face even smiled, breaking through the last semblance of peace, revealing his claws, drawing his demonic blade, and donning a demonic body amidst the layers of Buddhist light.
We're determined to protect them!!
A shout rose from the ground, and surging demonic power, as Lin Feng took a step forward, transformed into layers of spikes that, along with the swung demonic blade, slashed towards Fahai.
"Vajra Lion's Roar!"
Faced with the terrifying black waves before him, Fahai glared angrily, clasped his hands together, and a trembling sonic wave emerged from the Buddhist light between his hands, transforming into layers of powerful impact.
"Oh!"
Lin Feng chuckled, and a series of resounding sounds surrounded him. As he stepped into the range of the Lion's Roar, it transformed into a sky-filling roar: "Fahai!"
