I am against feudal superstition, so I light incense on my midnight rice!

Chapter 177: Seal the relics and start a duel!
"Master, is it okay for you to say this?" Tingshui was afraid that he had heard some terrible secret, so he said worriedly.
"This is not a secret. Many folk masters know it." Master Huijue chanted a Buddhist name and smiled.
"Master, please save me, I feel like that thing is still haunting me!"

"Don't worry, with the relics inside the Buddha statue, that thing can't get in from outside the door."

Huijue turned around and looked at the huge Buddha statue sitting cross-legged. Upon closer inspection, he saw a dark yellow gem sandwiched between the Buddha's clasped palms.

Tingshui took a closer look and saw that the interior of the relic was filled with a strong Buddha light. Even though it had been exposed to the air for countless years, the surface was still flawless, without a trace of dust, and the scent of incense lingered around it.

This is a Buddhist artifact inherited from Jinguang Temple. It is the relic condensed after the death of a senior master of Buddhism. It was originally just a relic to improve one's cultivation.

But with so many years of offerings of incense, it has now become a Buddhist artifact, with the ability to deter evil spirits and bring protection from the Buddha's light.

"That's not right, Master. Although that thing doesn't dare to come in, is it waiting for me outside?" Tingshui reacted instantly.

Abbot Huijue grinned kindly.

When he smiled, his tiny eyes became just slits, making him look quite funny.

"The donor is indeed smart and reacted immediately."

"Then Master, can you kill that thing? Just like Master Jiang?"

"It can't be killed. Even if you kill it once, it will appear again, and it will keep repeating itself."

"Ah? Then I'm doomed, or I'll have to hide in Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries from now on?"

Tingshui's face showed bitterness and looked extremely ugly.

He hasn't had enough of driving his sports car yet? He hasn't had enough of live treasure appraisals yet. How could this happen?

It’s all that damn beast’s fault for hurting me like this.

At this moment, Tingshui had already reviewed the man's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.

"Everything has a glimmer of hope. I didn't say you are hopeless." Master Huijue raised his white eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of him strangely.

He used his spiritual energy to observe Tingshui and found that Tingshui's eyes could actually understand yin and yang, and the light of wisdom on his head was extremely dazzling, and the three fires of heaven, earth and man were also stronger than those of ordinary people.

Although his face shows that he has had some bumps in his life, he will be rich and powerful after overcoming this difficulty.

If you are so smart, you might as well practice Buddhism. Your cultivation speed will surely improve by leaps and bounds.

"Amitabha, my Dharma name is Huijue, and I am the abbot of Jinguang Temple. Jinguang Temple is ranked among the top 15 among the 81 temples." Huijue chanted the Buddha's name again and spoke seriously.

"Tingshui has met Master Huijue!"

"Would you like to become a monk and practice the supreme Buddhist teachings? If you agree, I will personally fight the man behind the scenes!" Master Huijue looked at Tingshui with his deep eyes, holding a string of bodhi in his hand, waiting for Tingshui's answer.

"no!"

"Absolutely not. If you become a monk, you won't be able to marry or have children. You'll also be subject to many rules. I'm used to being free and full of worldly airs. How can I become a monk?"

Tingshui refused without thinking.

"Since Master is unwilling to help, I will leave. Thank you for your temporary protection!"

Tingshui bowed respectfully, picked up his things and was about to go out.

"It's a pity that you have no connection with my Buddhist sect. Come back. Since you don't want to, I won't force you." Master Huijue sighed helplessly.

He opened the Jinguang Temple and allowed tourists to visit for free.

His goal was to find a disciple among millions of people who could inherit his mantle. Now he finally met one, but unexpectedly, he had no connection with Buddhism.

It's God's will.

"Donor, Master Huijue is well-known for his kindness and amiability. He is respected by both Taoists and Buddhists. Even if you don't agree, Master Huijue will not stand by and watch someone die."

The two disciples standing at the door said, "Master, please forgive me."

"No hindrance, spiritual blessing, good thoughts start the altar!"

Tingshui felt that Master Huijue's aura had changed. The kind air on his body had disappeared, leaving only a strong sense of oppression.

"Yes!"

The two disciples at the door left quickly, and when they came back again, there were many more things in their hands.

There were some things in it that Tingshui had seen before, and some that he had not seen before.

He knew that these were things specifically used for performing rituals.

The two men moved quickly, and an altar had been set up at the door. On the altar, a bronze Buddha statue was sitting cross-legged, with two boys beside him, and the Eighteen Arhats guarding both sides.

Lotus lanterns, burning incense, Buddhist instruments, and Buddhist commands are essential!

"Master, is this how you do it?" Tingshui asked doubtfully.
"That's right, someone has put a curse on you! That person wants you to die at the hands of a strange force. If you want to save you completely, you must fight the person who cast the curse."

"Otherwise, simply killing Gui Mantong won't solve the root cause!"

"I see. What does the Master need me to do?"

"Just stand here. I will make the relic stop emitting Buddha's light, then lure Gui Mantong in. Then, with Gui Mantong's help, I will find the person behind this!"

"Okay, leave it to the master."

Tingshui appeared beside Master Huijue in a flash. Only by staying beside Master Huijue could he feel safe.

Master Huijue clasped his hands together and muttered the incantation quietly.

Under Tingshui's gaze, red energy began to roar from the surface of Master Huijue's body. This was what he saw with his magical eyes.

Ordinary people can't see it at all.

"Could this be the strange person that Master mentioned?" This was Tingshui's first close encounter with a real strange person.

He was also very interested in the strange man Tingshui, but he was not stupid enough to investigate the strange man.

"Is this spiritual energy? The most mysterious and majestic energy between heaven and earth? The origin of all things?"

In fact, everyone has spiritual energy in their body, it has nothing to do with innate or acquired.

People with innate talent are extraordinary from birth, but they are unable to master this magical power. People with acquired talent cannot use this power, but they have spiritual energy in their bodies.

A huge Dharma object rose up, appeared in front of the Buddha statue, and slowly shrank until it completely sealed off the establishment.

The Buddha's light inside cannot be emitted.

Without the Buddha's light released by the relics, the Buddha's light in the Jinguan Temple is rapidly disappearing between heaven and earth.

Without the obstruction of the Buddha's light, a strange atmosphere permeated the Golden Light Temple.

"Here I am." Master Huijue spoke slowly.

Tingshui followed his gaze towards the door, only to see Gui Mantong, wrapped in black energy, walking straight in through the door.

Every step it takes leaves a dark footprint on the ground.

"Swallow you! Swallow you! Hehehe~"
