Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 69 Demonic Monk
The Ten Thousand Immortals Conference was held in a valley. Xu Zhu walked out of the valley, looked at the stars in the sky, and said to the little girl behind him:
"Where is your home? I'll take you home!"

"Oh, I forgot, you're dumb!"

Just now at the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, Xu Zhu seemed to have heard Boss Wu say that they used torture, soaking in water, burning with fire, and starvation to deal with the little girl, but the little girl did not say a word.

Looks like a mute!

"Ah! How pitiful! He is so young and yet he is mute!" Xu Zhu sighed and said, "Fortunately, I am a Zen monk. If I had fallen into the hands of the Tantric sect, I would have become a drum skin."

"You are the mute!"

A voice that sounded neither male nor female, and neither old nor much older, came from behind Xu Zhu.

"Oh! It turns out that the monk is not mute!" Xu Zhu said in surprise.

He really didn't expect that the little girl of eight or nine years old behind him was not mute.

"That's perfect! Where is your home, sir? I will take you back home." Xu Zhu said again.

The little girl said, "My home is in Piaomiao Mountain."

"Where is Piaomiao Mountain?"

"In that direction." The little girl identified the direction and pointed it for Xu Zhu.

After Xu Zhu knew the direction, he walked towards it. He walked very fast, and when the sky was slightly bright, he had already arrived at a snowy peak.

The little girl, who had been silent all the way, felt Xu Zhu walking along the way, as if he was strolling in the garden, and couldn't help but say: "Master, you have such profound skills. Is this the magic skill of Shaolin Temple?"

"Of the 72 unique Shaolin skills, I have only practiced a few of them." Xu Zhu said modestly, "They are not magical skills."

The little girl was silent.

If this isn't considered a magical skill, then what else can be considered a magical skill?

"I wanted to wait for the master to send me back and then give him some skills. But this is too rude of me," said the little girl.

The little girl was the Palace Master of the Lingjiu Palace in Piaomiao Mountain, Tianshan Tonglao. She originally had a very bad temper.

But at this time she had a problem with her practice, and seeing that Xu Zhu's skills were as good as hers at their peak, she spoke in a nice way.

Otherwise, with her temper, she would have cursed at me long ago.

"That's not necessary! I saved people because I couldn't bear to see the layman being attacked by swords. Although our temple was established not long ago, the Buddhist teachings are profound and the martial arts are also so-so. I think they are the best in the world!" Xu Zhu said casually.

Number one in the world!

What an arrogant bald donkey!
Who dares to say that his kung fu is the best in the world?

Even the Xiaoyao Sect doesn’t dare, so how could the Shaolin Temple dare?
Tianshan Tonglao suppressed the urge to curse and sneered, "Number one in the world? Master is so confident!"

Xu Zhu said seriously: "If the monks of this temple want to become Buddhas and surpass Buddhas, they must go through hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine. Martial arts are the means for this temple to protect the way and become Buddhas."

“It has to be the best in the world!”

What a great one that has to be the best in the world!

What a great wish to become a Buddha and surpass Buddha!

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan felt that the bald donkey in front of her might be mentally ill!
But now, Bald Donkey was still useful, so Tianshan Child-Grandma didn't dwell on it and said, "I have a small favor to ask, Master."

"Please speak, layman!"

"Master, please help me catch a live deer before 3 p.m."

"Why?" Xu Zhu asked.

Tianshan Child-Grandma thought for a moment and said, "I'm hungry."

Xu Zhu said, "It just so happens that in my package, there are pickled pig's trotters, pickled pig's elbows, half a roast duck, half a roast goose, and two bottles of wine."

"Oh, girl, you are still young, you can't drink."

"..." Tianshan Tonglao was silent for a moment. She didn't expect that this bald donkey had so many delicious foods in his package.

"Master, your skills are profound. Well, I will tell you the truth." Tianshan Child-Grandma said, "I had a problem with my training. I must drink raw blood at noon in order to continue my training."

"I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time since I was captured by them. If I don't practice martial arts in the next two days, my power will boil over and I will explode and die."

Xu Zhu said: "So, I understand. But I don't kill."

"..."

Tiansheng Tonglao couldn't help but say, "I saw that punch of yours was fierce and domineering, with a restrained murderous intent and unparalleled power. You can kill a lot of people at a glance!"

"Good! Good!" Xu Zhu shook his head and said, "The layman was also at the scene at the time. I had no choice but to fight back in self-defense."

"If someone strikes me with a sword, I will punch him back."

“It’s reasonable and very fair!”

Tianshan Tonglao said again: "I heard you bring meat dishes like pickled pig's trotters and pork elbows in your package, and you said you don't kill animals!"

Xu Zhu said: "I bought those with my own money, so I naturally didn't kill any animals."

"If you don't have to pay for it, they won't kill animals to sell those things!" Tianshan Child-Grandma sneered, "Without buying and selling, there would be no killing."

"That's wrong!" Xu Zhu sighed and said, "If I don't buy pig's trotters and pork elbows, and the laymen don't buy them, how will the owners make a living?"

"To delay the survival of others for the sake of one's own goodness is hypocrisy."

"In this world, it's already hard for people to survive. Why should we value the lives of chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs more than humans just for the sake of hypocrisy?"

"When you are alive, you have everything."

"..."

This bald donkey has so many crooked ideas!

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan has always been arrogant, so she is not very good at sophistry.

She really can't win against Xu Zhu!

"Then noon is almost here. What if I can't drink the blood?" Tianshan Child-Girl could only say: "You won't watch me explode and die alive, will you?"

"That won't happen!" Xu Zhu said, "I've said before that it's hard for people to survive in this world. I won't watch you die."

"In the past, Sakyamuni fed an eagle with his own body. Although I cannot reach the level of Sakyamuni, I can try to emulate him."

"After noon, you can drink my blood!"

Hearing Xu Zhu calling "Shakyamuni" instead of "Buddha", Tianshan Tonglao felt more and more that this bald monk was an evil monk.

"Thank you so much, Master!" Tianshan Tonglao said half-doubtfully.

She was skeptical about the evil monk Xu Zhu's ability to let her bleed for her to drink.

At noon, Xu Zhu found a sheltered cave on the top of the snow-capped mountain and put her on the ground.

Afterwards, Xu Zhu used his fingers as a knife and cut his wrist.

"Layman, please do as you please!" Xu Zhu stretched out his bleeding wrist and said to the Tianshan Child-Fairy with a smile.

The smile was warm and sunny, not at all like that of a weird monk.

The Child-Girl of Tianshan sucked the blood from her wrist with half belief and half doubt. Once the blood entered her mouth, she had no more doubts and could not help but drink it in big gulps.

Xu Zhu closed his eyes, turned the rosary with his other hand, and recited Buddhist scriptures.

All sentient beings suffer.

Namo Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Brahma Buddha!
