The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 18 The Arhat

"In front of the Buddha of the third age, under the seat of Sakyamuni, you and other evil spirits dare to be so presumptuous!"

It was even more popular than Pei Wende had imagined. After confirming the identity of the old abbot, Huiji stepped into the Daxiong Palace without hesitation.

Seeing this reckless behavior, Pei Wende was taken aback for a while.

He originally thought that compared with the people of this era, he was already a bold, reckless person with unexpected ideas.

But he never expected that this young monk whom he met not long ago was even bolder than himself, and his behavior style was completely beyond the logic of normal people.

boom!
In the next second, the old abbot, who was still as quiet as a virgin before, suddenly exerted his strength.

It was seen that he smashed the floor tiles under his feet like a rabbit, and then flew straight into the air and smashed towards Huiji.

Bang!
Between flashes and flints, Hui Ji also showed a fierceness and agility that did not match her own.

A side kick like a mud cow went out to sea, not only successfully avoided the old abbot's flying knee attack, but also turned the defense into a success, pointing directly at the waist and abdomen where it was inconvenient to dodge when the target was flying into the air.

However, how could the old abbot who initiated the attack not have made any preparations?
He had already prepared his arms to press down directly, clamping one of Huiji's legs in an incredible posture.

click...

Pei Wende, who was on the sidelines, could even hear a crisp sound of bones dislocating.

Undoubtedly, Huiji was at a disadvantage in this round of confrontation and was severely injured by the preemptive old abbot.

"Damn!"

Fortunately, Huiji was not fighting alone, and Pei Wende, who realized something was wrong, had no time to complain about the opponent's recklessness, so he stretched out his hand to put on a bow and shot a sharp arrow.

collapse!
Accompanied by the vibrating sound of the bowstring, the strong bow, which is far beyond the imagination of this era, displayed its most aggressive side.

The old abbot, who had gained a short-term advantage just now, let go of his arms decisively, and stepped back several steps in a row, barely dodging the shooting of the sharp arrow.

"call……"

Slightly exhaling foul air, the old abbot stood still like a hundred-year-old pine, and he could not see any impact from the short and violent confrontation before.

—Moving like thunder, still like a breeze.

The old abbot who perfectly interpreted this word slowly turned his gaze to Pei Wende who was outside the main hall. The sharp and fierce gaze in his eyes made him feel pressured even though he had never experienced such a battle.

[Simply a monster! 】

Being able to dodge himself and shoot a bow and arrow within such a short distance, what else could it be if it wasn't a monster?

In comparison, the four ghosts I met before were as weak as a group of rabbits, and they couldn't be compared with them at all.

The only good news is that Pei Wende is not fighting alone now.

tumultuous!
Almost at the same time as the old abbot avoided, a faint burst of glass-colored Buddha light burst out from Hui Ji's body.

The moment the glazed Buddha's light appeared, he healed the wounds he suffered during the battle, and there was no trace of the severe injury he had just suffered from the old abbot.

Not only that, after Huiji's injury was healed, the glass-colored Buddha's light did not disappear, but formed a ring-shaped halo behind his head, completely illuminating the entire Daxiong Palace.

"Arhat?!"

This is the first time the old abbot has shown a shocked and unbelievable expression since his debut.

In fact, not only the old abbot, but even ordinary people like Pei Wende who are not practitioners can see how sacred Huiji's current state is.

Under the illumination of the Bodhi Buddha's light, the evil spirits are fully revealed and the demons are completely eliminated, as if all the evil spirits and crooked ways in the world cannot hide themselves under this Buddha's light.

"Amitabha, it's just a trick."

Under the illumination of Bodhi Buddha's light, Hui Ji, who seemed to have regained his composure, said so.

"It's you, it's a pity that you have been reduced to this with a 'childlike heart'."

As if responding to Hui Ji's words, the face of the "old abbot" gradually distorted, deformed, and finally melted under Pei Wende's surprised gaze.

In just a short while, the original old abbot disappeared, replaced by a scrawny young monk with bright eyes.

"Yuande, I remember that's what your master called you, right?"

There are not many monks in Mulian Temple, and there are no more than five fingers.

Coincidentally, after Huiji stayed at Mulian Temple, Yuande arranged a room for him, so he naturally remembered this taciturn young monk.

"Do you know that your master may be a big monster that eats countless people..."

"Every quarter of an hour you delay, the lives of other monks and pilgrims in the monastery may be more dangerous."

Faced with Huiji's persuasion, Yuande still maintained his calm expression.

Only from the slightly raised corners of his mouth, Pei Wende seemed to see some irony and disdain.

"It seems that you don't think so?"

Under the light of Chang Ji Buddha, Hui Ji, who seemed to have some kind of insight into people's mind, frowned slightly.

"You stepped into the Daxiong Palace on purpose, didn't you just want to test what is hidden here?"

Finally, Yuande did not continue to remain silent, but asked back in that unabashedly mocking tone.

"I can tell you very clearly that I am here to delay time."

The pupils constricted unconsciously, hearing something bad from Yuan De's words, Hui Ji just turned around, and saw that the palace door that was originally wide open unexpectedly opened automatically without wind.

Squeak!

Accompanied by a teeth-stinging rubbing sound, the door of the Daxiong Hall closed abruptly just as it had opened.

"I knew it was going to be a moth if I did this!"

Instinctively kicking towards the closed door, Pei Wende was not surprised to find that the door could no longer be opened.

It was as if an invisible barrier had enveloped and sealed the entire hall, and there was no way to open this invisible barrier from the outside.

No, Pei Wende even suspected that there was no way to open it from the inside.

After all, the guy inside is much more vicious than himself, and this "trap" was aimed at that guy in the beginning.

"Leave me alone for the time being, there is nothing wrong with me."

Just when Pei Wende was thinking about how to open the door, Hui Ji's voice suddenly came from inside.

"Go to those wing rooms in the backyard first, I suspect that the old abbot should be there now."

"We must stop him from hurting people!"

Before the words fell, the sound of fighting came again from the Daxiong Palace.

And this time along with the sound came the looming Buddha's light, and some kind of strange brilliance that was almost gray-black.
