Chapter Thirty-One Ten Sticks

  When the evil spirit entered that hole, the evil spirit's eyes suddenly emitted a faint blue light. At this moment, the demon also found that the corners of the evil spirit's mouth were also showing a hint of an eerie smile due to its excitement.

  Cut off a piece of stone in hand, fill it into the hole, just fill the hole again, from the outside, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see any abnormality.

  Picked up the half-cut stone, the demon's horn sheathed the dagger and put it into his waist. He looked carefully at the place where the evil spirit was hidden, and when he found that there was really no problem, he nodded in satisfaction and looked down.

  Alas, going up is easy, but coming down is hard. Although the demon's horn has agility, it doesn't want to jump off this 50-meter height so easily. This 50 meters was as high as ten or more floors in my previous life.

  He could only use his hands and feet to stick to the Buddha's body, slowly crawling down.

  "Bang"

  The demon horn fell to the ground, clapping its hands, looking up at the huge Buddha above its head, and its heart was filled with excitement. Because the demon horn knew that from now on, any wishes produced here would be absorbed by the evil god as a nutrient for his spiritual energy.

  Satisfied with a glance, the demon horn walked towards the distant grand hall entrance.

  Arriving at the gate, the demon knocked on the large door with his hand, making those outside hear.

  "Dong Dong"

  Outside the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, two knocks were heard from a demon's horn.

  "Alright, you two, open the door." Officer Lin Qing ordered.

  The forty-odd men who were in front of him immediately went forward and pushed with all their might.

  Rumble...

  The large gate was slowly pushed open, revealing the internal demon horns.

  The people waiting outside heard this and said: "Thank you".

  At this moment, Hui Neng and other monks beside him were staring at the horned demon, as if they wanted to see through it.

  "Alright, no need to thank me, come out quickly." The Second Elder of Cangshan smiled.

  "Ah," said the demon king with a nod and a smile, and then immediately jumped out.

  "This is the abbot of Da Xiangguo Temple, Master Liaokong." The Second Elder pointed at the abbot and said.

  "You have seen the Abbot," said the demon horn.

  "Amitabha Buddha! The second donor of the demon horn is indeed no ordinary person." Fāngzhàng smiled politely.

  "This is Master Hui Neng of Da Bei Temple." The Second Mount Tianyun pointed at Master Hui Neng and said.

  "Da Bei Temple?" The demon king looked at the old monk in white robes in surprise.

  "Have seen Master Huineng." The demon king looked at Master Huineng and gradually revealed a smile.

  Master Hui Neng also nodded towards Ya Jiao and smiled slightly.

  "All right, Lin Tian, you can leave now." The grand doors of the Da Xiong Bao Dian opened and Shangguan Lin Qing said to General Lin.

  "Yes." General Lin replied respectfully at once.

  Then General Lin led three hundred soldiers and left together in military step.

  "Invite the fragrant guests and continue to worship Buddha." Master Kongkong said to an old monk.

  "Yes" The old monk nodded immediately and continued to direct the monks to receive the pilgrims.

  "Everyone, please," said Kongzheng.

  "The abbot invites you." The crowd replied in unison.

  Then, led by Old Fangzhang, they walked towards a distant wing of the house.

  In the compartment, everyone took their seats according to their status.

  "Unaware of the second demon's host, what was he doing just now in the Great Hero Treasure Hall?" asked Master Kong.

  "I have long been admiring the Great Buddha of Daxiangguo Temple, and I sincerely wanted to pay my respects. So, I asked Master Zhang to create this commotion, and I hope the abbot will forgive me." The demon said with a straight face. If the demon had truly been sincere in his worship, he wouldn't have dug a big hole on top of the Buddha's head.

  What Jianyao said was somewhat different from what the second Cangshan had said earlier, and everyone was taken aback. Of course, Sima Xiangru and others were holding back their laughter on the side.

  As for the second Cangshan, he was a bit embarrassed at this moment, obviously hadn't coordinated well before and made a joke.

  As for Kong Fangzhang and Master Hui Neng, they were extremely strange at this moment, but didn't say much.

  At this time, Kenbu, who was standing behind Yōkaku, also leaned in close to Yōkaku's ear and told him the joke he had just made.

  "Well, I'm actually a cultivator, and I had to get close to the Buddha, so I'm disturbing all of you. To be honest, I've always admired the Great Xiangguo Temple's great Buddha." The demon's face didn't turn red or show any signs of embarrassment as he shamelessly contradicted his previous words.

  Yao Jiao finished speaking, and everyone looked at each other. However, they all held back their laughter, especially the three disciples of Master Hui Neng, whose faces were already twisted in an effort to suppress their smiles.

  Seeing the expressions of those three white-robed monks, Yougui also rolled her eyes, was it that funny?

  "Right, may I ask Master, are you a monk of Da Bei Temple?" asked Ya Jiao to Hui Neng.

  Upon seeing the old-fashioned appearance of Ya Jiao, Master Hui Neng's three disciples couldn't help but want to laugh. However, Master Hui Neng was not like that because he could see that this child's tone was neither arrogant nor humble, his thinking was clear and his words were extraordinary, truly rare to come by. Moreover, he was the author of two books, which made Master Hui Neng have to take him seriously, after all, the ideas in these two books were not something an ordinary twelve-year-old child could grasp.

  "It is," Master Huineng nodded.

  "I heard that within the Da Bei Temple, there is a heavenly martial art called 'Yi Jin Jing'." The demon horn spoke.

  "Not bad, it is one of the martial arts of the Heavenly Ranking in my Da Bei Temple." Master Hui Neng said.

  "Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to exchange it with other heavenly martial arts?" The demon horn stared at Master Hui Neng, while the sword dance behind him also gripped his long sword tightly, staring at Master Hui Neng.

  "If it were any other martial art, perhaps considering your second family's face, it could be exchanged. However, the Easy Muscle Technique is different and holds a very important position in Dabie Temple. The Dabie Temple will not exchange it." Master Hui Neng shook his head and said.

  "How about this? One won't do, so three volumes of Tian Bang Wu Xue in exchange with you?" Yao Jiao stared at Hui Neng, frowning.

  However, Huineng shook his head at this moment.

  "Five books?" The demon horn said.

  However, Huineng still shook his head.

  "Ten books?" The demon king said finally.

  "The donor need not add more, my Da Bei Temple will list this book as a forbidden book. Unless the abbot of our temple and the four hall masters nod their heads together, it can be exchanged or sent out." Hui Neng shook his head and said.

  Seeing this, Jian Wu lightly sighed and was also deeply moved by what Yao Jiao had just said.

  "Thanks a lot, Master," said the demon king. Anyway, having a leader is always good.

  "It doesn't matter." Hui Neng nodded and said.

  "Unaware of the master, how did you suddenly come to the capital?" The Second Master of Cangshan suddenly asked.

  "I was considering whether to inform your family, after all, this matter is still uncertain, but since you are all gathered here, it saves me the trouble." Master Hui Neng said.
