I Can’t Be Sword God



237 The location of Li Chu’s inner demon

Tonight, the moon is half-moon,

It’s like your eyes are curved.

At that time, by the Youyou River,

I wish you a hundred years of peace.

……

After a busy day, Li Chu ended his time of ” being in Buddhism with a Daoist heart ” and returned to the deyun sub-temple in the south of the city.

The third and final round of the Buddha’s fate meeting would begin tomorrow. The top ten from the second round would participate.

Li Chu was surprised that he had won first place in the second round.

So it turns out that

Can you get first place just by sleeping?

Li Chu walked past the participants who had vomited blood and were seriously injured by the Supreme thunderclap. They looked at each other with strange eyes.

Their eyes were filled with suspicion, wondering if there was a problem.

Especially the second Prince of bulao city.

Before leaving, Li Chu glanced at him and found that he was also looking at him with a creepy bright gaze.

He even suspected that his plan had been exposed.

He returned to the deyun sub-temple.

Before they entered, they heard a commotion from inside. Li Chu’s heart skipped a beat when he walked in and saw that the courtyard was in a mess.

Could it be that they were robbed?

Then, he raised his hand and touched his chest. It was full and firm.

The rest of the silver notes were all here. Thinking that there was nothing to steal in the temple, he was relieved.

Walking to the backyard, he saw Wang longqi, the Fox girl, and du Lanke standing in a circle, scolding someone loudly with stern expressions.

And in the middle of the three was the little fat Dragon with his head drooped.

He was a Dragon, but at this moment, he had his tail between his legs, his head almost touching his belly, and his big eyes that occasionally looked up were filled with tears. He was being lectured like a third grandson.

“What’s wrong?” Li Chu walked over and asked.

The Fox girl put her hands on her waist and said angrily, ” “I’m going out to buy some groceries this afternoon.”

“I’m going out to exorcise the evil spirits of the visitors,” Daoist priest du also said.

I’m going out too, hehe, ” Wang longqi said.

“It’s the only one at home.” The Fox girl pointed at the dispirited Thunder Dragon and then pointed at the messy courtyard around them. it almost tore down the entire Daoist temple!

“What?”

Li Chu carefully sized up the little fat Dragon.

This guy had the blood of a Northern Wolf?

But looking at its lowered head and face, it was obediently getting scolded. Yingying had always been like an obedient baby, so it was hard to imagine that it would behave like a Husky.

He actually had two faces at such a young age.

As if he could tell that Li Chu was the boss of the temple, the little fat Dragon walked to his side with his belly swaying. He reached out his claws pitifully and gently tugged at the corner of Li Chu’s clothes.

Li Chu lowered his head and met with a pair of big eyes filled with innocence.

Even his heart of stone was about to melt.

Thus, he said with a heart full of tender love, ” the child has such a good attitude in admitting his mistakes. Just scold him, beat him two times, and beat him three times. He’ll be fine as long as he’s locked up in the small black room for seven days. He won’t be given any food in the middle.

“Alright,” he said.

Wang longqi rolled up his sleeves and grinned.

“?!?!”

Ignoring the screams behind him, Li Chu slowly walked back to his room.

Later that night, a panting Taoist priest du came looking for him.

It seemed that beating a child was not a small physical task. Daoist priest du was obviously a little tired at his age.

“Master.” “There’s something that I might need you to do later,” he said as he sat down.

“What is it?” Li Chu asked.

“It’s a shopkeeper Liu on the street in front. He has dozens of shops under him and is very rich.” his family used to invite me to their house, ” du Lanke explained. his wife is pregnant now.

“Is there any cause and effect in between?” Li Chu asked cautiously.

“There’s definitely no such thing in his house.” Du Lanke denied immediately.

Li Chu nodded and did not pursue the matter.

“But shopkeeper Liu is very nervous about this child. Because we were familiar with each other, he told me the reason after I asked him a few times.” Du Lanke continued.

“It turns out that before he rose to power, his family was extremely poor. His whole family fled from the North, and several people starved to death, leaving only him and his mother. Just as his mother was about to starve to death, a strange person appeared, and he was a Gu master.”

“A Gu master?” Li Chu pondered for a moment, ” isn’t that the Suan ni of the southern border? ”

Inheritances like the Gu Masters and Magi, which carried a slightly strange scent, were mostly spread in the southern land, and were rather far from shenluo city. Moreover, these inheritors valued the ancestral land the most and rarely left the southern border, which was why he felt it was a little strange.

“As for why this Gu master came to the North, he doesn’t know. However, that person said so and he believed it. ” “That person found him and said that he could give him a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, but the price was that he wanted his second child,” Daoist priest du continued.

“Shopkeeper Liu can’t quite remember the Gu master’s original words. But he probably said that Yingluo wanted his second child to be his lunch box. Shopkeeper Liu asked him what he wanted to do and he said that you would naturally know about Ge Ge after thirty years.”

Li Chu frowned. It sounded a little strange.

“At that time, shopkeeper Liu didn’t take it too seriously. Not to mention that it was impossible for him to get married, he was even about to lose his life. When I heard that Gu Master’s words, I just took it as a desperate situation and casually agreed.”

“Who would have thought that after that, shopkeeper Liu would meet one kind person after another, and his business would be even more smooth-sailing, making a profit from each business. A beggar who fled from the North actually became the richest man in the southern part of the city in just a dozen years. You can say that he’s a God.”

“But this year?”

“Shopkeeper Liu’s wife is pregnant with a child,” du Lanke said.”Since his first child was a girl, he’s always wanted a son to inherit the family business. But this year, it’s been thirty years since he met that Gu master.”

Li Chu frowned for a long time before he slowly said.

“This shopkeeper Liu is so patriarchal.”

“Pfft.” Du Lanke almost choked on the water in his mouth.”In this day and age, we shouldn’t care about such things. The problem now is that shopkeeper Liu can’t be at ease. He’s very worried that something will happen to the child. He had invited all the doctors in the South City to take turns to examine her, but they could not find any problems. I have used my spiritual awareness to help him check twice. Now that the child’s birth is getting closer, he wants to ask someone to use the Qi observation technique to check on Qianqian again.”

He looked up and added in a low voice,”the reward is quite good.”

“No matter how poor you are, you can’t be poor at the Taoist temple. No matter how poor you are, you can’t be poor at the children.” Li Chu exchanged a look with him and nodded heavily. “We can’t refuse this.”

“We can’t shirk away from the benefits,” Taoist master du agreed.

……

The next morning, Li Chu packed up and left for White Dragon Temple to attend the meeting of Buddha’s fate.

The venue today was much grander than yesterday.

However, there were only ten participants left.

The Supreme thunderous sound of the ancestral Stele Forest might cause one’s qi and blood to become chaotic and even vomit blood, but this wasn’t a serious injury to xiuzhe. They could recover after regulating their breathing for a while. If they could digest what they had learned yesterday, it would be of great benefit to their cultivation.

In short, after a night of rest, it would not affect today’s competition at all.

Compared to their physical bodies, the spiritual shock they suffered yesterday was clearly more intense.

When they saw Li Chu again, the other participants ‘expressions became subtle. Li Chu’s life had been peaceful last night, but none of them had been idle. Each and every one of them had been investigating his background behind his back.

Li Chu did not hide the fact that he was from the deyun sub-temple, so they easily got a result that made people feel complicated.

It was like taking an exam. If an examinee went to bed the moment he came up, you wouldn’t even see how he wrote his name. In the end, when the results came out, he would be first.

In the end, when she came back and asked around, she found out that he was from the school next door.

He was still the school hunk.

Motherf * cker.

It was extremely vile.

They weren’t the only ones with complicated feelings. The two monks at the top of Hongdu mountain also had complicated feelings.

To the old monk and the young monk, a meeting of fate with Buddha wasn’t that important. However, after the small monk couldn’t help but take part in it yesterday, the importance of this matter had changed.

Especially when he had not been able to change the outcome even when he had personally taken action.

The old monk looked at Li Chu worriedly.

No one knew better than him how strong his master’s desire for victory was. It was something that could not be erased even after nine reincarnations and two hundred years of Buddhist cultivation.

The little monk’s young face was especially serious today, neither sad nor happy, and his eyes were solemn.

master, ” the old monk asked tentatively, ” “Do we still have to stop that little Daoist today?”

“Hehe.” The small monk smiled.

The old monk sighed silently. The cold smile that his master had not seen for many years, the one that would only appear when facing a strong enemy, appeared.

“Today’s competition is the forest of inner demons. Inner demons are ever-changing and only fear Buddhism. Even if I don’t make a move, he may not be able to pass this round.”

“It’s really hard to deal with the inner demons,” The old monk could only agree.

Below, Zen Master fa Qing appeared once again.

“First of all, I would like to congratulate the few of you for winning yesterday’s competition and entering the third round of the Buddha affinity meeting. You’re one step away from the fate of Buddha, please try your best to move forward.”

Zen Master fa Qing nodded slightly at the few participants before he started to introduce today’s competition.

the third round of the competition will be about the inner demon forest!

“The inner demon forest is a trial ground of my White Dragon Temple. The seeds of the inner demons from the primordial era are sealed inside. As long as someone steps into it, they will encounter their own inner demons. The inner demons are born from the obsessions in your hearts. As for what kind of images they will appear in, it’s still unknown. Once you enter the forest, you must be careful no matter what you encounter.”

“I need to remind you that it’s almost impossible to kill inner demons with a mortal’s state of mind. And the final outcome will depend on the extent of your battle with the inner demons. All the temptations in the middle can be dangerous, all the dangers can be a test. If you want to win, you must guard your heart.”

“Everyone, please.”

The vast and dark forest behind the White Dragon Temple had always been a forbidden area. Although there was only a simple stele in front of the forest, in the past, if one were to advance, they would be blocked by an invisible barrier.

This dense black Forest was only accessible to those who were fated to enter.

After a long period of absence, ten fated people came today.

The ten of them were brought to different entrances and entered separately. According to the vastness of this forest, unless they specifically met up, the possibility of meeting was not high.

As they walked along the small paths in the forest, their inner demons would appear.

It was also one of the interests of the eminent monks of White Dragon Temple to witness what kind of inner demons would appear in these participants. This was because what was revealed at this time was often their hidden nature, and it might even be the opposite of the personality they usually showed.

Wine, sex, wealth, Qi

Greed, greed, and foolishness Gu

It was like a mirror that reflected all the obsessions of the world.

……

After hearing what Zen Master fa Qing said, Li Chu was curious.

What would his obsession be?

Money? Experience points?

Or go home?

Or could it be his master or someone else from the de Yun temple?

However, nothing happened even after they walked for a long time.

He was starting to suspect that it wouldn’t be like the last match where he wasn’t on the same channel as the others, right?

He could muddle through the previous round, but what about this round?

Just as he was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the depths of the dense forest in another direction. save me, Qingqing!

“What?”

Li Chu pushed aside the messy branches in the forest and walked over to take a look. It was another contestant.

A young monk dressed in a Gray monk’s robe was leaning weakly against a tree, his legs badly mangled.

“My inner demons broke my legs. I beg you, please take me out.” The young monk extended his hand to Li Chu.

……

his inner demon Kasaya! the old monk on the peak exclaimed. it’s rare.

“Yes.”

The small monk was silent.

After a long while, he finally said,”usually, only the eminent monks of great virtue that are rarely seen in hundreds of years would have such an inner demon.”

“This is a Kasaya.”

“Merciful.”

“Oh?” The old monk was a little surprised.

“His obsession is not to obtain things for himself, but to help others. Thus, the heart’s devil will transform into someone who needs help and attack him.”

“In order to defeat this heart demon, do I have to turn my heart of stone?” The old monk asked.

This was because they were well aware that defeating inner demons was not something that could be solved by simply killing them, but rather by finding some fundamental ways.

“I don’t know.” The small monk shook his head and smiled,”I’ve never seen it before, so I don’t know how to solve it.” But Yingluo is very sad.”

……

Li Chu looked at the man with a deep gaze.

He couldn’t see any difference with the heart’s eye technique, so it wouldn’t be easy to see through the changes in his heart’s devil.

Anything was possible in the inner demon forest. When you thought that he was fake, you might not know if he was real.

Forget it.

With that thought in mind, Li Chu finally walked forward.

“Yingluo, why don’t I help you heal first?”

“You can heal?”

“I know a little.”

Li Chu stepped forward and examined the young monk’s wound. Then, he conjured a seal with both hands.

At the same time, the moment he lowered his head, a cold glint flashed across the young monk’s eyes.

The magical thing about the seed of the inner demon was that it could immediately produce an inner demon with complete spiritual intelligence according to the obsession of the intruder. Everything about this inner demon was born to restrain the original owner.

He could feel that Li Chu was still on high alert against him.

But it doesn’t matter, Yingluo.

As long as you have a compassionate heart, I’ll always find a chance to escape.

Just as he was silently cursing.

A small sun slowly rose.

And then,

His bloodied legs were gradually healed by the Buddhist light of the little Bodhi mantra.

And then,

In the White Dragon Temple, the magic bell that had been silent for some time suddenly rang again.

Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

This sound reverberated in the surroundings.

In shenluo city, countless Warriors and horses stopped their attacks, and the heavy rain disappeared.

Someone even fell off the bed in shock and exclaimed, ” “They’re back, they’re all back!”

But,

The influence of mortals was far inferior to that of the mayflies in the forest of the heart demon.

The little Bodhi mantra was a gentle and healing Dharma, so the inner demons were not affected. The sound of the magical Bell was like a thunderclap.

At this moment, the sound of a magical Bell rang out. The young monk’s body trembled and he threw his head back, spitting out a mouthful of blood! His entire person instantly became dispirited.

“You’re Yingluo, this is Yingluo.”

Li Chu’s pupils trembled. Why was this person going to die after the little Bodhi spell?

The young monk held Li Chu’s hand and explained with a trembling voice, ” “Internal injuries.”

it’s fine. My little Bodhi mantra can even heal internal injuries. I’ll do it again.

As he spoke, Li Chu picked up the little Bodhi again.

A small sun rose again.

The wounds on the young monk’s body were slowly healed, and then he slipped away.

Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

The bell rang again.

“Pfft-”

Once again, blood stained the sky.
