Chapter 397: Say More If You Can

"The demon world is really big, and we are pretty fast. It took us more than half a year to visit the whole place."

When they left, Ni Jinxuan suddenly realized that they had been in the demon world for a long time. They

had swept the demon world, killed the evil demons, reborn the man-made evil demons, and "single-handedly" fought many big demons. They did not delay their training at all, and they made a lot of money. Everyone's little notebook to record their experiences was also filled with a lot of writing.

The bird tribe was their last stop. After sending Yue Han back, they would go to the border of Zhongzhou to search for the remaining evil demons.

The peacocks saw them off, dancing around them. The white peacocks' feathers were even more unique, like silver snow, and even more fluffy, which made Ni Jinxuan stare at them.

Xia Tianwu also looked at them a few more times.

Mo Lin followed behind him, "Like?"

He looked as if he could catch one and pluck its feathers to make clothes for others if he really liked it.

The white peacock covered his buttocks under the watchful eyes of the Supreme Sect and quietly retreated behind the other tribesmen.

What a scary look! What a scary Zhongzhou people!

Yuan Ye turned his head to take another look, and said to his junior sister who was unable to take his eyes away, "Don't stare at it. Look how scared the birds are. Peacocks will eventually molt their feathers. You can then ask Uncle Nine's Chamber of Commerce's people to collect them. If you want it now, I'll go back and weave one for you with grass silk."

Ni Jinxuan finally retracted her gaze and asked in surprise, "You also know how to weave this? It's so difficult."

Lin Du, Hou Cang and Yue Chen walked in front, speaking politely.

"By the way, Chief Yue, I have something I want to ask you."

Lin Du turned his head to look at the boys who were bidding farewell to Yue Han in tears. After making sure that they didn't notice, he asked, "May I ask Chief, what is the destiny of being born with Buddha bones?"

Yue Chen has always been enthusiastic, but at this moment he was stuck. He swallowed, "Well, well, Master Lin, why are you asking me this?"

Lin Du said seriously, "Of course it's for the Dongming Realm."

Yue Chen's smile froze on his face, and he tried to play dumb, "Ah?"

Lin Du nodded, his white hair was neatly arranged, his gray eyes were like mirrors, he looked cold and elegant, independent from the world, and had the demeanor of a master.

"For the sake of Dongming Realm, I can question the Heavenly Dao and King Yan, so now I ask Chief Yue, I believe you will give me an answer, right?"

She just stood there. It was obvious that Yue Chen had a higher status and stronger cultivation, but even if he lowered his head, he was not at a disadvantage. His eyes were direct. Yue Chen accidentally met her gaze and felt that she had seen through everything in his heart.

If Yan Ye could see with his eyes, it would probably be like this.

There was not much light, but it was enough to capture people.

Yue Chen couldn't help asking, "Do you want an answer, or do you want to verify a guess?"

Lin Du just smiled and said nothing.

Yue Chen understood, “In ancient times, the rules were dispersed into gods, and our ancestor came to be one with gods and demons. Yes, it is the demon god.”

“But it is different from the evil demons you see now. The demon god is still a god, dazzling and incomparable. Even its true body is still so holy that people dare not look directly at it. It is completely different from the true body of the evil demons now.”

At this point, Yue Chen showed disgust, “What kind of demon is the evil demon now?

It’s neither fish nor fowl.” “I once looked for statements related to demons in ancient books, and found that in Zhongzhou, the original meaning of demon is ghost. In Buddhism, it is called demon because it steals wisdom and life and destroys the merits and virtues of the Tao.” Lin Du talked about the origin of the word demon. [Note 1]

"If I understand correctly, that thing essentially refers to the evil thoughts in the heart that hinder the practitioners' practice."

Lin Du said it calmly, as if that knowledge was innate, not something she had learned from studying day and night and searching for historical materials.

"Demon God, demon god, God is also the true form." Lin Du looked at Yue Chen, "Even Buddhism and Taoism have different interpretations, not to mention the ancient times and the present."

Yue Chen felt relieved by this statement. Because there were many evil demons, and their original appearance was ugly, not only eating people, but also eating each other, so the peacock clan had never dared to proclaim that the demon god was their ancestor.

Even mentioning the evil demon was considered unlucky.

He added a layer of real intimacy to his attitude towards Lin Du. "To be honest, the demon god was later given the title of Buddha Mother, and the scriptures named after it can suppress evil spirits and inner desires."

"And the people born with Buddha bones are descendants of the Posuo Kingdom. In fact, it is not surprising. They are the descendants of the monks who were protected and followed by the demon god. The magic they practice is mainly to protect the country and eliminate disasters."

"So," Lin Du followed Yue Chen's words and understood, "Buddha's children are born to eliminate disasters?"

Yue Chen thought to himself, as expected, Lin Du really came to ask questions with answers.

If he didn't tell the truth, he would definitely offend people.

"Yes, born with Buddha's bones, born to be able to suppress demons. Who knew that this person was a heretic? Although he doesn't eat people, he is not much better than my ancestors."

Yue Chen thought of that figure and was silent for a moment. How could a Buddhist child, a Buddhist child born with Buddha's bones, be like that?

"Most people in Buddhism believe that Buddhist children don't need to have a high level of cultivation. They just need to thoroughly understand the scriptures, recite and practice every day, to calm the hearts of the world and extinguish the evil of all living beings. That's enough."

Lin Du smiled a little knowingly and contemptuously when he heard it, "Really?"

Yue Chen saw that she didn't agree, and he didn't dare to say that he thought so too.

Who would have thought that the rebel even secretly learned the martial arts of the monks, and finally used the method of swallowing dragons to become a golden body.

Is the Buddhist dragon swallowing skill a real dragon? It's a snake!

Who knew that the Buddha was so fierce and really found a dragon.

"Why didn't the Yue clan leader tell anyone about this news?" Lin Du raised his eyes slightly, his eyelids as cold as ice in winter.

"The evil demons and demon gods are exactly the same nowadays. Who knows if the demon energy can be suppressed by Buddha's bones?" Yue Chen said, "So even though our clan has some dealings with Buddhism, our concepts are not the same."

Lin Du's expression relaxed a little, and Yue Chen inexplicably felt that the surroundings were warmer and not so chilly. It seemed that he was right.

He decided to continue to say more.

"Who knows what that inexplicable demon energy is? After all, it is not the product of the demon god."

"I can't just make a hasty judgment that Buddha bones can suppress the source of demonic energy just because we have the same ancestor in ancient times."

"What if the child's life is wasted? Looking at what he did, he certainly wouldn't be willing to feed the demons, otherwise he wouldn't practice martial arts."

If it's right, it's fine. If it's wrong, it's a person who doesn't need to die.

Hearing this, Lin Du's expression relaxed and the smile on his lips became more genuine. Although it was probably true, the Yuechen clan had some guesses, but they would not force them to do it because of the righteousness.

He is a person who is rare to understand and rare to be confused. No wonder he can be the clan leader.

"Look, we peacocks don't eat people now. We are all friendly and have no evil intentions."

Yue Chen said, looking back at the inexplicably curled up white peacock cub, a little strange, but for proof, he continued, "Look, it's a little timid!"

Lin Du followed his gaze, and then the white peacock looked at Lin Du's extremely shiny white hair and delicate face in the sun, suddenly shook its tail, slowly spread its tail, and slowly spread its white wings, like a beautiful and exquisite shell-carved screen.

Noticing Lin Du's gaze, the peacock straightened his chest and shook his wings.

Yue Chen: ...

Lin Du was suspicious, "Is that a demonstration? Does he want to fight me too?"

Yue Chen considered his words carefully, and was so shaken that he quietly used his demonic power, "Probably... a beauty contest."

Lin Du: ... OK.

"Its tail feathers are indeed beautiful." Lin Du glanced at the proud white peacock.

"We... can give you some, worthless, worthless." Yue Chen decided to save the life of this white peacock, "Our molting season is very long."

Lin Du was satisfied, "How can I feel embarrassed about that."
