Chapter 45: Merit and Virtue Prove the True Self, Pratyekabuddha Tests the Zen Heart



He had expected the two elders to be skeptical.

Any normal person would not immediately believe a small person in the state of enlightenment who suddenly speaks nonsense and says that he is a disciple of Pure Land Buddha.

Just as no normal person would believe the SMS scams in previous lives, the scammers are also very clear about this. They set the bar so high just to screen out the one in ten thousand "fools" who would believe it.

Similarly, what Chen Kuang wanted was just this three-point groundwork of doubt.

Facing Wei Yan's questioning.

Chen Kuang spread his hands and smiled, "There is no evidence."

He had no intention of exposing Huo Hengxuan's relic.

This thing is not a magical artifact that requires a drop of blood to recognize the owner. It doesn't mean that once he takes it, it will belong to him.

If he told the other party the principles, and if the other party was smarter and thought of killing and robbing directly, using someone else as a substitute... that would be the end.

Zhao Lie was stunned and asked angrily, "Are you kidding us?"

He has an impulsive personality. If someone dared to play tricks on him like this in the past, he would definitely chop the person in half on the spot.

But now, he just gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and did not take action immediately.

The reason was very simple... He had already struck once, and strangely enough, the other party was fine.

At this moment, I can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

What if... He meant, there was only that one in ten thousand possibility, if the other party was really a disciple of Buddha.

The previous knife strike could have been a misunderstanding.

Now that the other party has revealed his identity, if he strikes again, won't there be no room for retreat?

If this person's identity is true, and Pure Land comes knocking on their door in the future, the crime will be much more serious than failing to protect the young master!

Although old man Zhao Chang is reckless, he is actually quite smart and clever.

He thought to himself, it would be better to wait for Wei Yan, who always claimed to be smart, to make a trial judgment first. Once he confirmed the truth, he would listen to the latter.

Zhao Lie glanced at Wei Yan, who looked uncertain beside him and asked, "Elder Wei, what do you think?"

Wei Yan looked at Chen Kuang and said, "Since you have no evidence, how can you convince us? Truth and falsehood are not something you can decide with just your mouth."

His eyes were cold: "If you want to use this method to delay time and let Madam Liang and her daughter escape, it will be in vain."

"At this moment, they have probably been captured by my Three Tribulations Sect disciples."

Chen Kuang's smile remained unchanged:

"I don't know the Lady of Liang. We just walked the same path. Why should I help them delay time?"

"I mean, I don't need proof."

"I myself am the best evidence."

Wei Yan stared at him and said, "What kind of evidence do you think this is?"

Thanks to the interactions with Huo Hengxuan during this period, Chen Kuang's acting skills are now basically good enough to make simple expressions flawless.

Chen Kuang took a deep breath and said, "Two elders, please listen to me in detail."

Zhao Lie couldn't help but ask, "Can't you cut to the chase?"

Chen Kuang ignored him: "I am the reincarnation of that Buddha, but I did not resume my cultivation immediately. It's not that I don't want to, but I want to use the method of transforming into a mortal to re-experience birth, old age, sickness and death."

"As it happens, ten years ago, I predicted that Liang would be in chaos, and immediately spent many years in this palace as a musician."

"I also volunteered to go through all kinds of hellish trials during the war. Unfortunately, your young master Wei Su is very quick-witted. For some reason, he suspected that I was Huo Hengxuan's man and wanted to attack me."

He shook his head and said with some regret:

"My fate had not yet come to an end, so I couldn't just sit there and wait for death. I had no choice but to fight him."

"The King Kong's eyes are glaring, and his power is beyond measure. I am also very sorry for the death of Young Master Ling."

"Now, the ten-year period has expired. I have experienced birth, old age, sickness, and death. My merits are complete. It is time to return to the Pure Land and achieve enlightenment."

He mixed the deeds of the Buddhist disciple Lionheart into his own life story, acted compassionately, and praised himself to the skies.

Of course, this is not the point. It is just to make his next words more credible.

Chen Kuang looked at Zhao Lie with a kind expression: "This elder is the final link in the merit I have cultivated."

Birth, old age, sickness and death...he is naturally the one who suffers from death.

Zhao Lie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

No wonder!

No wonder his sword attack failed to kill the other party. It turned out that the other party was cultivating merit to overcome the calamity!

Because of the scene just now that even Zhao Lie couldn't understand, he suddenly felt that the other party's explanation sounded unexpectedly reasonable...

Oh no, could this be a true Buddhist?

Zhao Lie felt guilty and embarrassed for a moment. What should he do about that knife attack he had made?

Chen Kuang seemed to have seen his embarrassment and said gently:

"Don't worry, Elder. You have helped me to complete my cultivation, which is a great merit and a great blessing. The fate of birth and death is all predetermined."

"Buddha is so merciful, how could he have the heart to criticize the meritorious officials? Instead, he should express his gratitude."

"When I return to the Pure Land, I will definitely give the elder a great gift."

The second step of the Qin Shi Huang-style fraud...painting cakes!

Zhao Lie was speechless. Seeing that he was so sure of what he said, he couldn't help but feel a little moved and looked back at Wei Yan.

After all, that is the Pure Land of Buddha...

Wei Yan remained unmoved and said coldly, "After saying so much, you still can't prove your identity."

Chen Kuang said: "Just because I can't do it now doesn't mean I can't do it later."

Wei Yan said: "I want you to prove it now?"

Chen Kuang pretended to ponder, then smiled and said, "It's not difficult."
