Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 622 I, Luo Fu, the Demonic Cultivator! I will turn the Three Realms into a paradise for demons!
Luo Fu smiled, nodded slightly to Su Su, and then looked at Fa Hai, saying, "Zen Master, what do you think now?"

Fahai naturally realized that Susu was extraordinary.

This is yet another freak that is neither alive nor dead.

Although unlike Nie Xiaoqian, who embodies yin within yang and life within death, Su Su, a being who is a trinity of human, ghost, and spirit, is just as rare as Nie Xiaoqian.

Nie Xiaoqian essentially possesses the ability to conceive and give birth to a child from the soul of the dead, and Su Su is a trinity, which is also a subversion of common understanding.

Looking at Luofu with a complicated expression, Fahai became even more convinced that Luofu was the demonic giant who had descended to earth in the Dharma-ending Age, disturbing the mortal world and turning the Three Realms into a paradise for demons.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Luo Fu. The magic weapon that could switch between the sword box and the armor alone was enough to seal all of his abilities, and he couldn't even mobilize his magic power.

This left Fahai without even the ability to fight back.

Otherwise, even at the cost of his life, Fahai would certainly eliminate the demon Luofu for the sake of the Three Realms.

"A demonic giant, turning the three realms upside down, this humble monk has nothing to say." Fahai shook his head, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently began to chant scriptures.

Su Su was clearly very wary of Fa Hai.

The image of Jing Yuanying floating beside her shimmered with mirror light, clearly indicating that she was on guard against Fahai at any moment, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing that Fahai looked resigned to his fate.

Luo Fu stopped teasing Fahai, who was known as the strongest.

Looking at Nie Xiaoqian, Luo Fu said, "Nie Xiaoqian, you have a special nature and the power to break through life and death. If we let you go to the underworld, once the ghost kings of the underworld discover your abnormality, you will probably bring unprecedented calamity to the human world. At that time, hundreds of ghosts will walk around the human world at night, which is a more terrifying situation than hell."

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes reddened, and her lips trembled slightly. She said, "Immortal Master, then...then I don't know what this humble woman should do?"

Nie Xiaoqian was not unaware that the best solution was actually what Fahai had just said.

She didn't understand the chaos of the natural order or the reversal of life and death, but she did understand that if you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who raised it.

And precisely, Nie Xiaoqian, whom Fahai says is an existence that is not tolerated by the Three Realms, is a problem.

Even if she isn't the core of the problem, she's still part of it.

Who would want to die if they could live? The fear of the dead being scattered is no less than the fear of death for the living.

Nie Xiaoqian was not someone who was unafraid of death.

Otherwise, even if she were manipulated by the Tree Demon Granny, she wouldn't have willingly allowed herself to be controlled and driven by her to lure passersby.

However, good and evil are never such simple matters.

Luo Fu also hesitated slightly about how to deal with Nie Xiaoqian.

He's not Ning Caichen; Nie Xiaoqian's charms can't seduce him. In terms of looks alone, Su Su is in no way inferior.

With Jing Yuanying and Su Su, who are a trinity of human, ghost, and spirit, around, the special nature of Nie Xiaoqian, a female ghost who hides life within death and conceives yang within yin, is greatly diminished.

Simply killing her would be a waste, since Nie Xiaoqian is truly capable of giving birth to a fetus while in a state of being a dead soul, completely defying the boundaries of life and death.

After a short while, Luo Fu quickly made a decision.

She's just a slightly special female ghost. At worst, she'll be taken into the Divine Might Space, like those female ghosts in the Painted Wall Illusion who are named after flowers.

The Divine Might Space is both a special space and an unbreakable cage for the existence of this world.

Seeing that Luo Fu proposed to take Nie Xiaoqian away, Fahai revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Luo Fu's actions made Fahai even more convinced that he was no good person.

As for preserving her life, Nie Xiaoqian had no objection. As for whether relying on Luofu would mean losing her freedom, in her view, following Luofu was not much different from being coerced by her grandmother.

He put the golden urn and Nie Xiaoqian into the Divine Might Space all at once.

Luo Fu looked at Fahai and said, "Zen Master Fahai, I'll trouble you to deal with the tree demon's roots. I must remind you, Zen Master, that the tree demon has the ability to corrupt reason. If it isn't eradicated as soon as possible, Jinhua might become even more terrifying than hell on earth, hahaha..."

Amidst a burst of laughter, Luo Fu, carrying Su Su, drifted eastward.

His brows furrowed deeply. Fahai had considered eliminating Luofu, this giant of the demonic path, several times, even at the cost of his life, but in the end, he gave up.

Watching Luofu depart into the distance, Fahai dared not delay. He immediately chanted incantations, opened his Dharma Eye, and surveyed Lanruo Temple and the underground of Jinhua. He conducted a thorough search, looking for all the roots left by the tree demon, digging them out one by one, crushing them to ashes, and determined to eradicate them completely.

But as Luo Fu said, this is a rather massive project.

The roots are buried deep in the ground, which means that only someone like Fahai, who has the Dharma Eye, can see them.

This meant that Fahai couldn't even hire someone to help him; he had to do it all himself.

In just a few days, a strange monk began to circulate in Jinhua, who would walk around the city with his head down, staring at the ground.

The existence of Fahai has become a hot topic in Jinhua.

Just as Fahai became the focus of everyone's discussion in Jinhua, after meals and tea.

Jinhua once again welcomed the arrival of two monks.

The two monks were a large and a small traveling monk carrying their belongings.

After passing through Jinhua, I stopped at an inn and ordered a vegetarian meal.

Just as the two monks were preparing to eat their meal, a sudden commotion broke out in the crowd.

The young monk, full of curiosity, stood on tiptoe to observe the direction where the crowd was gathering, and asked the old monk, "Master, what's going on?"

The old monk frowned, surprised, and said, "That's... the abbot of Jinshan Temple? Strange?"

"Shifang! Stop eating and come with me to take a look."

These two wandering monks were none other than Zen Master Baiyun and his disciple Shifang.

Logically speaking, even if Zen Master Baiyun and Monk Shifang were traveling the world, they wouldn't appear in Jinhua so quickly.

But the appearance of Luofu has affected the fate of countless people.

Even Yan Chixia, by a twist of fate, died in front of Luo Fu. Although he was not killed by Luo Fu himself, he died because of Luo Fu.

Because of Luofu, Fahai had to linger in Jinhua and search the roots left behind by the tree demon Granny underground.

Shi Fang was already curious about crowds, so upon hearing this, he immediately put away his alms bowl and followed his master with great interest, heading towards the direction where the crowd was gathering.

Fahai could not possibly be unaware of the commotion he had caused in Jinhua.

However, he didn't care about this at all. In Fahai's eyes, these people were just mortals, and what he needed to do was to eradicate the tree demon's roots. He had no interest in paying attention to the thoughts of these mortals.

Fahai's Dharma Eye cannot truly be opened at all times, and when it is opened, it consumes a great deal of his own magical power.

This means that when he opens his Dharma Eye to observe where the tree demon's roots are beneath the earth, he must stop and rest for a while every now and then.

What's even more frustrating is that the tree demon's roots weren't fixed in one place; instead, they were constantly moving, as if guided by some unknown force.

This movement naturally led to a decrease in Fahai's efficiency.

He needed to thoroughly search the entire underground area of ​​Jinhua, again and again, like a carpet search, going back and forth several times.

Fahai, who was observing the roots of the underground tree demon, suddenly sensed a peaceful Buddhist power slowly approaching.

He immediately stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the Buddhist power.

Upon seeing Zen Master Baiyun, Fahai's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Amitabha, Zen Master Baiyun, I never expected to see you again today. Are you traveling the world?"

“Indeed, Abbot Fahai, this humble monk greets you.” Zen Master Baiyun clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said, “May I ask, Abbot Fahai, what is this all about…”

Fahai was taken aback and said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come with me to Nalanruo Temple, Zen Master."

Upon hearing this, Zen Master Baiyun gave Fahai a meaningful look.

The conflict between Jinshan Temple and Lanruo Temple is a clash based on their shared Buddhist lineage.

Among the ancestors of Zen Master Baiyun, out of consideration for their shared Buddhist faith, there were those who wanted to mediate.

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

The conflict between Jinshan Temple and Lanruo Temple has continued to this day.

Even though Lanruo Temple was destroyed overnight due to the evil spirits, Jinshan Temple still maintained its attitude of never having any contact with it again.

In Jinhua, the mere sight of Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, was enough to surprise Zen Master Baiyun.

Unexpectedly, Fahai even took the initiative to invite him to Lanruo Temple.

Even if Lanruo Temple were in ruins or even destroyed, and the hatred that had lasted for countless years was still there, in theory, Fahai, as the abbot of Jinshan Temple, should have turned a blind eye to it even if he happened to pass through Jinhua.

What is going on here?
Don't think that Buddhism is truly about detachment from worldly desires.

On the contrary, those who can truly achieve this state of mind are not ordinary people at all.

Neither Fahai nor the predecessors of Jinshan Temple could have done it.

Moreover, Fahai carries the responsibility of preserving the entire Jinshan Temple.

Therefore, we should not bow our heads.

He pondered what had happened that made Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, take the initiative to invite him to Lanruo Temple.

Master Baiyun, readily accepting good advice, led the young monk Shifang and followed Fahai, leaving the bustling town.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Lanruo Temple.

Fahai then said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Zen Master Baiyun."

“Amitabha, it is truly commendable that Abbot Fahai has been able to let go of his attachment to the sect. How can you laugh at him?” Zen Master Baiyun changed the subject and said, “However, I just saw the abbot searching the earth. I wonder what the reason is?”

With a dark expression, Fahai said, "Master Baiyun, you may not know this, but a demonic giant has appeared in the human world. This demon is just like Mara in the world. He seems dignified and upright, but he is disrupting our Buddhist teachings. His methods are unpredictable and impossible to guard against."

His gaze sharpened. Although Master Baiyun did not share Fahai's almost obsessive attachment to slaying demons and monsters, he was still determined to do so.

But now, Fahai is talking about Moro, a powerful figure in the demonic path.

Ordinary demons and monsters are not qualified to be called the reincarnation of Moro.

Fahai said with shame, "This humble monk is incompetent and was easily subdued by Namala. If it weren't for Namala's hypocrisy, this humble monk would surely have perished at Namala's hands. This demon boasts of Luofu, but he is unaware of..."

"Who? Abbot Fahai, what did you say that living Mara was called?" The young monk Shifang's eyes widened in surprise.

Confused, Fahai glanced at Zen Master Baiyun, and when he noticed that Zen Master Baiyun also wore a shocked expression, he exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that Zen Master Baiyun also recognizes this demon?"

"Amitabha." Zen Master Baiyun composed himself. Although he had sensed that Luo Fu's background was extraordinary when Luo Fu returned from the shared space earlier.

But no matter what, he never expected that Luo Fu would receive such a terrifying evaluation from Fa Hai.

When Moro was alive, he was a powerful figure in the demonic path, disrupting Buddhist teachings... Any one of his crimes was no small matter.

Although it was not certain, Zen Master Baiyun had a vague sense of understanding in his heart.

The Luofu mentioned by Fahai must be the young novice monk in the Zen temple who awakened to his past life.

"Abbot Fahai, you may not know this, but not long ago, a young novice monk who had awakened to his past life appeared in the Zen monastery where I practiced. However, this person is not a disciple of my Buddhist sect. After I asked him to leave the Zen monastery, in order to avoid trouble, I had to take my disciple Shifang and travel the world together. After leaving Buddhism, that young novice monk called himself Luofu. I just don't know if he is the same person as the Luofu that Abbot Fahai mentioned."

"I never imagined there was such a reason." Fahai sighed softly and said, "I suppose it must be this person. His methods seem righteous and upright, but as the Zen master said, he is not a member of our Buddhist sect, but a demon who disrupts the true Dharma of our Buddhist sect."

"He's clearly a human, how could he be a demon?" Shi Fang looked incredulous.

In his memory, Yuanzhen was clearly just a little monk like himself, but no matter how his master or the abbot of Jinshan Temple described him, he was like a demon from Buddhist scriptures.

It's not surprising at all that Shifang would have such feelings.

It should be noted that even Zen Master Baiyun personally remarked that Shifang was simply not suited to be a monk.

In this world, countless stories of demons and monsters come together. If Luo Fu hadn't appeared, Master Baiyun and Shifang would have passed by Lanruo Temple in the future and bumped into a thousand-year-old tree demon. Master Baiyun was almost killed by Shifang.

From any perspective, Shifang was neither a qualified monk nor a qualified disciple.

Even with Master Baiyun's abilities, he couldn't be helped.

However, despite the pitfalls, Shi Fang genuinely considered Luo Fu a friend.

"Shifang, shut up." Zen Master Baiyun's face darkened, and he coldly rebuked him.

Shi Fang immediately shrank his neck.

Fahai said unconcernedly, "It's alright, Zen Master. Namo is cunning and treacherous, and he is most skilled at bewitching people. Even I, this humble monk, would not have believed that such an upright person could be a demonic giant if I hadn't happened to see him being worshipped by a hundred ghosts."

"Abbot Fahai, were you just in Guobei County searching for traces of Luofu?" Zen Master Baiyun asked curiously.
