Daoist priest, stop fighting. The avenue is almost gone.

Chapter 498: The Taoist Priest and Shen Hui's Discussion on Taoism, Yuan Jun's Attack
"Another useless person died." At this moment, the turbid waves cleared.

Asuna, who was dragging a continent across the boundless sea, looked at the lines on his palm and revealed a nonchalant smile.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Such trash is not worthy of being my subordinate."

Looking at the boundless sea in front of him, Asuna's eyes suddenly became deep.

Not to mention the death of one subordinate, even if a hundred or a thousand of them died, with Asuna's strength and reputation, these "consumables" could be replenished at any time.

Compared with the various clues he found in the vast ocean, these are simply not worth mentioning.

Even though he has descended as only a fragment of his soul, his vision and insight are beyond the reach of this tiny world.

If he had not been exploring the interesting clues he had discovered, he would have already reached another piece of land with an extremely strong breath of life.

"What a great and foolish strong man, he was able to protect a world that should have fallen long ago and delayed it to such an extent."

"Unfortunately, I'm sorry, Wu Asna is here."

"In a world where there are no immortals, how can you stop me from harvesting the spirituality here?"

"Come out, my little darlings, and move around for a while. In ten days, you will have to work."

Along with Asuna's chuckle, a vast and boundless purple halo spread out with him as the center.

In this place shrouded by the halo, twisted corpses suddenly crawled out from the ground one after another.

Some of these corpses still emitted an appalling stench, while others had already decayed to the point where only a white skeleton remained. After being stained by the purple halo, these corpse monsters actually roared and began to fight frantically at their own kind.

Behind these crazy monsters is Asna’s broad back and wild laughter.

The gains from this world might be even greater than he imagined.

As long as he could successfully squeeze out the last drop of 'spirituality' from this world, with the support of these spiritualities, Asuna could rest easy for nearly ten thousand years.

"This scripture is so strange and inexplicable, I have no clue?"

Yi Chen understood every word on the golden book of communication, but when they were put together, he was a little confused.

Yi Chen has always recognized Ying Si's attainments in martial arts. After all, he is a powerful figure who was able to create the martial arts classic "Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist" and can be called a martial arts grandmaster.

But now there is a martial arts manual that even a martial arts grandmaster said he had no clue about...

"That must be because your majesty does not have amazing wisdom!"

"If my Yichengzi comes in person, he will surely be invincible!"

Yi Chen looked proud and immediately took out a specially made jade brush with red hair.

Although he hasn't written for a while, Yichengzi is still good at writing.

He immediately wrote on the golden book in a flamboyant manner: "Your Majesty, do not panic. This matter is settled. I will definitely go to the Supreme Daoist Sect before tomorrow evening to learn the "Three Corpses Slashing Martial God Sutra". I will definitely not lose face for our Great Qin."

Thanks to the transmission network established by the Tianji Sundial Array, travel between Central Continent and East Continent is now much faster and more convenient than before.

Of course, these conveniences have nothing to do with middle and lower-level cultivators. The use of these teleportation arrays not only consumes a large amount of resources, but also requires an outstanding identity, such as the Great Qin State Master.

As the words gradually faded away, Yi Chen put away the golden book and looked at the handsome monk who was still lying on the ground motionless. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Buddhist friend, now that you are awake, get up."

....
....
The sunset embers fell along with the last rays of sunlight, and many large tombs appeared on the Daguangming Mountain.

Looking at the indifferent face, as if he had lost his life, Yi Chen felt sorry for a moment, but at the same time he also marveled at the magic of nature.

Yi Chengzi had clearly come to Da Guangming Mountain to "destroy someone", but in the end, if he had not arrived in time, Da Guangming Mountain would have been destroyed by Shen Hui.

Who can he reason with?

This is as outrageous as Odebiao holding a knife but not chopping bananas, and instead doing a live broadcast of repairing donkey hooves.

"Buddhist friends, the world is full of reincarnations, and the cycle of cause and effect has a destiny. The fruit of Da Guangming Mountain today may not be the result of the cause you planted. It's just the cycle of heaven, and it's manifested through the hands of Buddhist friends. Now that things have come to this, Buddhist friends should not blame themselves too much."

Looking at Shen Hui's current appearance, Yi Chen wanted to lift his legs and walk away, but his feet seemed to be fixed in place as if they were filled with lead. He couldn't help but comfort her in a gentle voice.

The monk Shen Hui is not a bad one. Not only is he extremely talented, he is also an expert at slaying demons and eliminating evil. He is one of the few old friends of Yi Chen who can keep up with his pace.

He really couldn't bear to see this old friend fall like this.

"Buddhist friend, can you tell me why you suddenly became possessed by the devil?" Yi Chen walked to the side of Shen Hui, patted his shoulder, and sat down cross-legged without caring about the dirt on the ground.

He took out three jars of fine wine, poured one on the mud in front of him, gave one to Shen Hui, and kept one for himself.

After his repeated invitation, Shen Hui finally sat down and began to tell the whole story.

The melodramatic story gave Yi Chen a sense of déjà vu... Art is indeed derived from life but is higher than life.

"Master, tell me, where did I go wrong?" Shen Hui lowered his head with a gloomy look on his face. "I wanted to save those poor tenants and Chun Ya, but no matter who I was, I failed to do so. I even indirectly killed so many people."

"Master, tell me, why is this happening?"

Seeing the monk who was full of vigor and vitality in the past turned into what he is now, Yi Chen sighed in his heart, took a big sip of wine and said:

"Buddhists are not wrong. If you must say they are wrong, it's because they lack experience."

"Shen Hui, you think everything is too idealistic."

Looking at the lifeless eyes, Yi Chen spoke word by word.

If it comes to debate, ten Yi Chens are no match for Shen Hui. He can only use the Six Arts of a Gentleman on the Internet to fight back. But in terms of practical matters, ten Shen Huis are not enough to defeat Yi Chen alone.

"If the Taoist priest and I were in each other's shoes, I wonder what he would do? How can I save the root cause of all this?"

Faced with Yi Chen's answer, a trace of fluctuation finally appeared in Shen Hui's dead eyes.

He has been trapped in this past for too long and has not been able to get out of it.

"Buddhist friend, I am not as dignified as you, Master. I will just say it and you will just listen."

"I am not smart enough to fulfill the master's vision of saving the tenant farmers and the girl named Chun Ya, but if you let me do it, I have a plan that may work."

"Shen Hui, do you know why you can neither bring Chun Ya back nor save those tenant farmers? Because you are childish!"

"Childish?" Shen Hui raised her head in surprise.

"Yes, but childish."

"You are not as cruel as me, nor as treacherous as me. You can't accomplish anything by just chanting sutras."

"I have nothing to do tonight, so why don't I tell you a story."

Yi Chen patted the spirit beast bag, and Miaozi immediately understood the meaning of the music and appeared immediately. Soon a bonfire was lit next to the two of them.

After doing all this, it continued to work non-stop. It first hunted some game nearby, then ran to a nearby pond and caught a dozen fat fish and began to gut them not far away.

Under the starlight, Yi Chen briefly told Shen Hui the story of "The Sequel to Journey to the West".

"Master, have you realized what Wu Tian's biggest mistake was?"

"Master, please forgive my stupidity."

Yi Chen took out a bunch of bamboo sticks, skewered the fish prepared by Miaozi, and began to explain while grilling. He sneered, "Wutian's biggest mistake was to disrupt the order across classes. He was originally an immortal Buddha from the upper realm, but he came to the lower realm to consider issues from the perspective of a mortal. He also spoke up for mortals and resisted the injustice of the upper realm. It is normal that he is not accepted by the immortal Buddha circle in the upper realm."

"To some extent, fellow Buddhist, you are lucky. You are extremely intelligent and gifted. Great Light Mountain cannot produce a second Buddhist disciple. Otherwise, your fate would be far worse than this."

"The Buddha is different. He likes the mortals in the lower world, so he can confer them the title of Bodhisattva and Holy Mother. This way, they are always by his side and are legitimate, and no one else will object."

"So, fellow Buddhists - you can bring that girl named Chun Ya to our group, but you actually want to represent Chun Ya to overthrow the vested interest groups in Da Guangming Mountain, and you also want to interfere in the affairs of other sects. This behavior is simply handing over the position of the leader of the Buddhist sect to others."

"You are courting death. If this succeeds, damn it."

"If it were me, I would, as a Buddhist disciple, first promise to win over a group of elders and recommend the girl named Chun Ya to a nunnery or other subordinate cultivation sect for cultivation."

"As a Buddhist disciple, you can help him embark on the path of cultivation even with just resources. After all, there is no other Buddhist disciple in the Great Light Mountain. Master, you are a rare treasure."

"Then, I will do whatever it takes to grab resources, improve my cultivation, gain greater power, and grab more resources."

"When I am more mature, I will transfer Chun Ya to Da Guangming Mountain in the name of exchange. She will be assigned to any position. Who dares to say anything?"

"Now you can loosen the reins on the tenants' necks a little bit. Of course, don't do it too much. For example, if you cut 80% before, you can cut 40% now, and barely reach a new balance."

"Of course, forming cliques, forming factions for personal gain, playing both sides, and being double-dealing are inevitable in this process."

In front of Shen Hui's eyes, which looked as if he had seen a ghost, Yi Chen proudly told him dozens of weird plans that he had easily thought of.

Shen Hui had thought that Yi Chen was a sinister person before, but he never expected that Yi Chen could be so sinister.

It's like a piece of coal! Shining black!

The means are vicious but also highly feasible.

“Master…”

"Ah... I have lost my composure. To be honest, fellow Buddhist, I am not usually like this." Yi Chen couldn't help but laugh awkwardly when he realized that he had gone too far in displaying his amazing wisdom.

Ever since he achieved a breakthrough in his true martial arts, he has become a little arrogant and careless, and he even dares to speak his true feelings out loud.

To sum up, Yi Chen’s solution is actually very simple.

In a nutshell, you either have great wisdom, able to "spit out food to feed the people and win their hearts", or become a master of balancing the interests of everyone.

Or he could do as Yichengzi did, "brothers of one mind can accomplish anything", take the other party's interests, distribute them to his own people, and give some to the people below.

For example, in the Demon Realm, Lord Fair Demon Emperor took action himself and almost squeezed out all the old demon nobles, so that he could raise middle and high-level members of the Demon Righteousness Sect who were determined to hang out with his Saint Galauran. Otherwise, he would be busy playing whack-a-mole every day and would not be able to live such a bright and open life.

"But...but, isn't what the Taoist priest did completely contrary to the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures? This is simply the act of a devil." Shen Hui not only understood, but was also greatly shocked. He stammered.

"Buddhist friend, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Chun Ya, you got it. You also gave benefits to the tenant farmers and other supporting groups, and made those who ate too much before spit out a lot of benefits. Isn't the world obviously getting better? How dare you say that I am a demon?"

"I am simply the true Buddha on earth! You are worse than me. You are the devils." Yi Chen was obviously unhappy with Shen Hui's criticism. He said proudly with his head held high.

His mind was numb, and only now did he truly understand what Yi Chen had said before. He was not as cruel as Yi Chen, nor was he as treacherous as him.

Taoist Priest Yi is truly treacherous and cruel.

“No matter how the Taoist tries to whitewash it, this is indeed the behavior of a true devil. I...can’t do it.” Shenhui looked at the Taoist Xiongkui in front of him and sighed.

There is always irreconcilability between procedural justice and factual justice.

But Yi Chen's next words made Shen Hui suddenly feel horrified.

"In that case, I am looking forward to a strong man who is as powerful as Zhou Gong and can defeat me with his absolute strength."

"Willn't the world be a better place by then?"

"If that day comes, I, Yichengzi, will definitely applaud and never complain."

"If no one can do it, it is better to let me do it instead of leaving the world to a group of insects."

"How can a Buddha who can't even defeat the devil make me believe that the world will become a better place in your hands?"

At this time, the pine wood used for grilling fish was not enough. The Taoist got up and went to a dark place. He casually chopped down a pine tree, and his faint voice was heard in the darkness.

At this moment, the Taoist turned his back and no one could see the expression on his face.

Click.

A faintly green autumn grass was stepped on by a boot and fell to the ground. Some grass juice oozed out from the broken surface. The Taoist walked out from the darkness.

The fire lit up his face.

He walked towards us heroically carrying a pine tree on his back, his posture majestic and powerful!
"If you are wrong, you must admit it. If you are beaten, you must stand at attention!"

"You are not as treacherous as me, nor as cruel as me, and you eat more than me. What does it matter if I am slandered all over the world?"

It's rare to smile in this world, so we bow to each other on the battlefield.

The blood flowed all over the suburbs.

After reading one, my head is covered with snow, but I still remember the spots and a few lines of traces. The sacred things of the Five Emperors and the Three Sovereigns deceived countless passers-by.

"The Taoist priest is truly frank!" Shen Hui said again.

"Thank you very much. I'll take it as a compliment from you." Yi Chen shrugged and threw several pieces of pine wood into the campfire with a calm tone.

Sparks flew everywhere at once.

The Taoist picked up a bamboo stick and sucked the whole fish off in one gulp, with great heroic spirit.

"Buddhist friend, what are your plans for the future?"

"As the Taoist priest said, things are already so bad, they can't get any worse."

"Master Yi, thank you. I want to rebuild the Great Guangming Temple."

"The Taoist's path is not my Buddhist path. I want to build a mountain of great light that I envision. Even if it is small, I will give off as much light as possible."

"That's amazing, holding bones as torches, fellow Buddhist, your words are very profound!" Yi Chen immediately said with awe, and this time there was no mockery in his words.

He really admires people like Shen Hui.

Every world needs idealists.

Even though Yi Chengzi would never become such a person in his next life.

....
....
now.

In a deep valley in the mountains, a woman wearing a peach blossom mask swallowed the illusory peach blossoms in the sky into her stomach with a look of delight on her face.

At this time, Yuanjun's momentum had reached the peak of the third level of breaking the limit.

"Little Wolf, this is the third secret place of the void that Yuan Jun opened. Don't think you can win for sure."

"How dare you be so disrespectful to Lord Yuan? Just wait for me."

When Yuanjun thought of the humiliating scene of being pulled by the collar, she immediately felt indignant. Her heart was beating fast and her chest was surging.

gas!
