Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1812 Monk Wuchen
His gaze quickly swept over the other person. The white-robed monk who called himself "Wuchen" had a kind and benevolent appearance, a smile on his face, a peaceful demeanor, and an aura of tranquility emanating from him.

Even Zhou Xu, who was going through a fierce battle and whose emotions were fluctuating intensely just a moment ago, unconsciously calmed down when he saw the other party.

To be honest, Zhou Xu never expected to encounter a monk in this strange world, especially one who could fly through the clouds and whose skills were clearly extraordinary.

As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you, especially since they just helped them.

"Thank you very much for your help, Master."

At this moment, Zhou Xu maintained basic politeness and courtesy.

Upon hearing this, Monk Wuchen simply smiled slightly, his voice calm.

“This humble monk comes from the Western Paradise. Passing through your precious land, I saw evil spirits causing trouble, and I could not sit idly by.”

I almost thought you came from the Tang Dynasty in the East.

Zhou Xu mentally complained, but his face remained smiling. At the same time, some information revealed in the other party's words also caught Zhou Xu's attention.

"Master, where is this Western Paradise?"

Zhou Xu was actually quite familiar with these terms; they were common expressions in the original world, but only in mythological stories.

However, recalling the other party's previous ability to fly through the clouds, Zhou Xu suddenly realized that in this world, even if there really was a Buddha or some other deity, it didn't seem like such a strange thing.

I wonder if this will have any impact on our Great Zhou.

With this question in mind, Zhou Xu seized the opportunity to inquire about it.

Monk Wuchen simply smiled in response.

"The Western Paradise is too far from here, and it is probably difficult to explain clearly with words alone."

Faced with this answer, Zhou Xu simply smiled and nodded, without pressing further, and moved on to the next topic.

"Speaking of which, it seems that the master knows something about that black skull, and the methods he uses seem to be able to counter it?"

“The Buddha believes that all people in this world are burdened by the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, which are the root of all evil. The black skull is the manifestation of the other party’s evil thoughts of the three poisons, which are extremely harmful. However, it can be saved simply by following me to practice Buddhism.”

Listening to Monk Wuchen's explanation, Zhou Xu seemed to be deep in thought.

This actually has some similarities to his previous speculation, and now it makes a lot of sense.

Just as Zhou Xu was pondering this, the monk Wuchen began to preach Buddhism and described the Western Paradise as wonderful, speaking in a very flowery and eloquent manner.

Zhou Xu let it go in one ear and out the other, eventually managing to brush it off with a smile while subtly asking questions that interested him, silently gathering information from the other person.

However, Monk Wuchen showed great enthusiasm for propagating Buddhism.

"If you are interested in Buddhism, why not join our Buddhist community?"

As they spoke, they actually wanted to persuade Zhou Xu to build a temple and worship Buddha within their Great Zhou territory.

"I have too many things I can't let go of, so I'm afraid I'm not destined to be with Buddha."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu thought, "That won't do!" He quickly smiled and politely declined, while immediately changing the subject.

"Since the Western Paradise is such a wonderful place, why did you leave, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Monk Wuchen smiled and shook his head.

“This humble monk has entered the world to propagate Buddhism, to save all sentient beings, and to accumulate merit. I wonder if you would allow me to preach and expound the Dharma in your esteemed place?”

[Whoa! We've come full circle again!]

Zhou Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he let out two dry laughs. Before, they wanted him to convert to Buddhism, build temples, and worship Buddha, but now they want him to preach directly within their Great Zhou territory. There was no way he could agree to such a thing.

"Master, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Although they had just received a favor from the other party, to put it bluntly, at that time, the Black Skull had already been suppressed by them. When Xuan Yu came over, he could burn it to ashes with his special golden-red flames.

Even if things go badly, there are still Yarvit and Hilke to finish them off.

At most, it saved them some effort.

This level of understanding alone is not enough to make Zhou Xu abandon his bottom line and allow the other party to preach within their Great Zhou territory.

At the same time, don't forget that within the Great Zhou territory, the largest religious sect is their state religion.

If this monk is allowed to spread Buddhism, isn't he just asking for trouble?
Of course, judging from the methods the other party had shown before, their strength was not bad. At least until now, he could not see through the other party's realm. In addition, they had just gone through a fierce battle and were all in poor condition, so it was not good to provoke the other party.

With this in mind, Zhou Xu kept a close eye on the other party's reaction.

Monk Wuchen clearly hadn't expected Zhou Xu to refuse so decisively.

Having no other choice, he decided to back down further.

"Then may I trouble you for a while?"

After saying that, he added an explanation.

"This humble monk is new to this place and currently has nowhere to stay."

"Of course, I will definitely send someone to treat you well."

Since things have been said to this extent, and there is still some intention to help, it's not appropriate to refuse.

On the bright side, if the other side stays within their Great Zhou territory for a longer period of time, they will have the opportunity to gather more information from them and see what tricks the other side is up to. It may not be all bad.

In this way, while speaking, Zhou Xu directly signaled Li Ce to assign a personal guard to the other party.

"Master, I have some matters to attend to, so I must excuse myself for a moment. If you need anything, please feel free to tell him."

The personal guards who could follow Li Ce were naturally not stupid; they were mostly reserve officers, and they immediately understood his meaning.

Only after the guards had led the monk Wuchen far away did Yarvit finally speak...

"What kind of style is that guy? I can't sense his strength at all."

"Even if their strength surpasses ours by a whole realm, it's not like we wouldn't sense it at all. Either they have some secret technique or they have some special equipment to hide their cultivation level."

Zhou Xu paused at this point.

"In short, be careful and recover your cultivation level as soon as possible."

While the couple was talking, the troops led by Li Ce quickly completed a simple cleanup of the battlefield.

The undead army on the other side was almost completely sacrificed.

During this time, even if some undead managed to escape the initial sacrifice, they could not escape the second shrieking attack; their souls had long since entered the monster's belly.

However, some things that couldn't be swallowed were left behind for the time being.

There were quite a few of these scattered items, which unexpectedly filled an entire carriage in front of Zhou Xu.

The carriage used to transport these things was the same golden carriage that the Immortal King rode in!
