New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 43 [仏 Eggplant! Eggplant! ! ! 】

Lu Rang, who was standing behind Yuan Zhu, was frightened by this scene.

He gripped the rifle tightly with both hands, his fingers trembling with nervousness as he repeatedly pulled the trigger. If he hadn't engaged the safety, he would have been attacked and killed by the increasingly erratic group of believers who had disrupted the ritual by launching an attack.

Now, not only did the monks' heads in the center of the square become larger, rounder, and redder, but their necks were torn off and floated high up, and they were also tied up by their spines.

After seeing this scene, the believers on the periphery were not afraid. Instead, because their spiritual frequencies were hijacked by the French Network, they chanted scriptures even more fanatically, sending waves of spiritual power to the "Tomato Heads" who made up the nodes of the French Network to fight against the constantly falling starlight.

Because there were so many spectators, everyone was chanting with surprising enthusiasm, and the team was located close to the square, making it convenient for watching the ceremony.

Therefore, in this situation, voluntarily withdrawing would be too conspicuous and easily lead to attacks from the enthusiastic crowd. So Yuan Zhu advised Lü Rang to remain calm: "Wait and see what happens. I don't know if this change will be good or bad."

Meng Xi beside him analyzed, "I don't think all this is beyond the abbot's plan, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm."

Despite the bizarre scene, the local residents of Yecheng appeared unfazed. Perhaps this was the proper way to conduct a Buddhist ceremony?
As Roman customs do, they can only choose to send their blessings and hope that the future will be better.

Just as a few people lowered their heads and whispered to each other, more and more pseudo-human heads suddenly grew larger into balls, their necks torn off, suspended in the air, emitting blood, and trying to return to the starry sky.

Yuan Zhu could see that the spine connecting the head to the body was devoid of any flesh or blood vessels. However, between the broken wound and the bones, a deep green vein of flesh-like veins stretched and adhered, firmly connecting the bones together and preventing the head from flying away.

"Look at the green veins on the bones. Do they resemble the contaminated flesh and blood of the Mad Beast?"

"Huh? They are a little bit similar."

At this moment, a blood-red spherical head, swollen to its limit, finally couldn't bear the influx of starlight. It opened its mouth, let out a scream of extreme pain, and exploded in mid-air with a "bang!", splattering bright red, sticky tomato juice in all directions, spraying all over the ground.

In an instant, a rich smell that was hard to tell whether it was the fragrance of fruit or the fragrance of flesh and blood spread across the square.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, giant heads, rapidly fattened by the starlight energy, exploded, splattering blood-red jam all over the ground. This scene was too extreme, even more exciting than him randomly shooting the beast's head!

"Gurgle...", "Slurp...", "Gurgle..."

The civilians around Yuan Zhu were reciting the scriptures with difficulty and struggle, but they could hear the sound of swallowing saliva in their throats and their stomachs were growling with hunger.

The smell is so tempting, with its fruity aroma and alluring sweetness that even before you taste it, you can automatically create a detailed tasting illusion in your brain.

After instructing the elves to increase the shielding strength against the erosion of external illusions, Yuan Zhu stared at the square and saw that red starlight was still being released from the places where the heads had exploded.

The eggplant head, which had been expanding and becoming round, exploded. However, the [Buddha Cocoon] that was nurtured inside the head did not disappear. Instead, after absorbing high concentrations of starlight, it became a product that possessed the dual characteristics of "Buddha Dharma" and "starlight".

Its size did not change, it was still the size of a pigeon egg, but its color turned into scarlet, and its shape was the head of a Buddha with all the facial features and eyes closed. However, on the neck of the Buddha's head, green petals grew upside down.

If you look at it upside down, it is clearly a small tomato with petals!

The tomato Buddha cocoon was suspended in the air, emitting blood-red starlight, with Buddhist scriptures playing in the background music. The original sandalwood scent was replaced by the fruity aroma of tomato juice.

"What exactly is this thing? A Buddha cocoon? A relic? A Buddha head tomato? Or a Buddha fruit?"

Bang! Bang! Boom!
The hanging heads exploded amidst desperate wails, and the plasma-like ketchup splattered and erupted, which was blown away by the wind and turned into blood mist, covering the entire venue like rain.

Even Yuan Zhu couldn't escape the baptism of the bloody tomato juice rain. The slightly warm and sweet juice dripped down his cheek, releasing an alluring aroma. He couldn't help but lick a drop. Sour, sweet, and a little salty? It tasted quite good.

The floor in the center of the square was awash in tomato sauce. The stone pavement quickly absorbed the tomato sauce and meat sauce, and the stones sizzled as they softened, bulged, and developed veins, taking on the outline of a Buddha's head. A single green sprout emerged from its mouth, beginning its enchanting growth.

Swish, swish, swish… The once blood-red ground was rapidly sucked dry, sprouting Buddha faces and spitting out thorny eggplant seedlings, which grew rapidly under the starlight. And beneath the plants, the stone-faced Buddha face also moaned incoherently: "Eggplant, eggplant, eggplant! Buddha, Buddha, Buddha!"

Lu Rang pointed at the sprouting green seedlings and said excitedly, "Ah! I recognize it. It's the plant used to imprison and seal ghosts in those villages! Are our wooden spears also made from this plant?!"

Yuan Zhu said calmly, "After these tomato heads exploded, the tomato juice and plasma that spurted out was red. But the blood of those mad beasts was green. There must be some connection between the two!"

Zhou Chu: "Will the blood be the color of the tomato after it matures? And before it matures, the blood is the color of the plant's stems?"

Meng Xiyue: "Is it so careless?"

...

One monk after another blew their heads off under the starlight, and the surging ketchup fed back to all living things, leaving only a mature [Buddha Cocoon Relic] glowing with blood; more civilians raised their heads, greedily sucking in the ketchup and blood rain falling from the sky, replenishing their physical strength and continuing to contribute to the French Open.

At this moment, the group of special "dummy people with eggplant heads" surrounding the abbot also wore expressions of agony, but their heads did not swell or break their necks. Instead, their facial features sometimes became ferocious, their eyes flashing green; sometimes, their expressions were painful, and they continued to chant with difficulty.

The two sides were too far apart for Yuan Zhu to hear clearly. However, he was certain that these strange people did not shout "Kua! Kai! Kai!" Instead, like a group of mad beasts, their blood-red cheeks were cracked and green eyeballs appeared, and they were hoarsely saying something: "Kill, kill, kill, blood, blood, flesh, flesh, flesh..."

Abbot Duowen took half a step forward, and Leiyin shouted angrily: "Evil creature! Why don't you quickly convert to Buddhism!"

The group of strange people with eggplant heads immediately knelt down, kowtowed vigorously, and said with difficulty: "Master, save me!", "Lord Buddha, save me!", "I am willing to convert!"...

Abbot Duowen raised his palm, his five fingers forming a claw, and fiercely grasped the head of the person in front of him. He held his other hand in front of him and chanted rapidly. The invisible Dharma net that enveloped the entire venue, with each suspended [Buddha Cocoon Relic] as a node, fiercely squeezed the mental energy of all beings, drawing starlight and converging it towards him.

Yuan Zhu finally understood. This ritual seemed to be borrowing the racial talents of these tomato monsters, using the eggplant-headed monks as human filters, absorbing starlight, refining it by exploding their heads, and then using blood to sacrifice the [Buddha Cocoon Relics] that possessed the dual nature of 'Dharma/Starlight'.

The abbot sacrificed the blood of countless monks to forge this 'physical law net', and at the same time controlled the mental strength and star energy of all living beings, and in turn removed the foul bones and poisonous blood from the eggplant-headed monster's body.

He understood, now he finally understood!

The eggplant-headed monster kneeling in front of the abbot screamed in pain, but his expression was one of pain and happiness. At the same time, streams of dark green, sticky blood flowed out and rose from the hole in his head that was gouged by the abbot, and drilled into the abbot's arms, and was suppressed by the power of the net.

The abbot's five fingers detached from the first tomato monster, and he continued to pace. When he reached the second monster, he used the Buddha's Dragon Claw Hand again. His five fingers pierced through the tomato's crown, removing the sticky green blood, leaving a five-hole bowling ball. He then walked towards the third monster, repeating the process back and forth.

As the mad blood accumulated in his body, the abbot's mental state deteriorated. Dark green bloodshot streaked his eyes, and his expression sometimes shifted from compassionate to frantic...

The 'Spiritual Law Net' with the [Buddha Cocoon Relics] as its node continued to drain the hearts and minds of the common people. Their flesh and blood quickly dried up visibly, and the sound of their chanting weakened, emitting a weak aura.

At this moment, the Blood Buddha Cocoon absorbed another wave of starlight, projecting rays of blood light towards the people outside, nourishing their bodies. The originally shriveled body slowly became full again, and its spirit became as high as if it had drunk Red Bull, and it continued chanting.

It was so miserable, so miserable! They were just like a bunch of playthings, a bunch of human batteries, being manipulated, tortured and exploited by the abbot.

But even doing so could not alleviate his increasingly bad mental state.

After piercing the heads of ten tomato monsters in a row, the abbot's body reached a dangerous level. His frail, aged frame visibly swelled and grew stronger, looking more and more like the onset of a blood-mad attack.

Abbot Duowen roared angrily, raised his hand again, and pierced the eleventh tomato monster's head with his five fingers, fiercely drawing out the mad blood. At the same time, he solemnly swore to the world:

"My disciple, Vasubandhu Kamaye, hereby makes a great vow: to bear all the sufferings of this world with his own body, to save all sentient beings, to quell the scourge of the underworld, and to rebuild the Buddhist kingdom of Naye. I will not attain Buddhahood until I have saved all sentient beings!"

As the oath was fulfilled, the Buddhist magic power in his body suddenly burst out, and the golden Buddha light around him was shining brightly, starting to corrode and devour the blood-colored starlight. The two sides joined forces to suppress the green demonic blood in their bodies.

The twelfth, the thirteenth... one after another, the tomato monsters were pierced through the head by the abbot, their blood was dug out, and their own Buddha cocoon seeds were left behind...

The abbot, with a look of pain on his face, took a difficult step towards the last tomato monster. He hooked his five fingers on the other's face, clenched his claws tightly, scratched the whole face, and pierced his fingers into the head to extract the devil's blood.

At the same time, the abbot's muscles swelled extremely, and a sound of flesh tearing could be heard from his neck.

The green flesh leaves resemble tongues or sepals, with sharp barbs on both sides. They radiate out from the neck to the front, back, left and right, forming a circle.

They resembled collars, petals, or giant thorny tongues, surrounding the abbot's head in the center, forming a green, bald sun. Then the petals curled back, licking his bald head, and finally wrapped around his head, forming the embryonic form of a green bud.

The headless abbot, with a green flower bud on his neck, suddenly clasped his hands together and sat cross-legged. The green flower bud on his head quickly swelled and turned into a ball.

This time, his head didn't explode like those eggplant-headed monks, but instead peacefully split apart. After the bud opened, the original head was completely disintegrated, leaving only layers of fleshy, red petals, each covered in translucent capillaries.

Layer upon layer of flesh and blood petals blossomed, eventually transforming into a giant flower nourished by the human body. At the base of the flower, in the disc, was the aged face of Abbot Duowen, smiling benevolently.

The flower heads adjusted their positions and turned like sunflowers, gazing out at the square. Their eye sockets and mouths opened, sprouting dense clusters of red stamens like twisting veins.

"Buddha has mercy on me! I wish to save all sentient beings in the country of Naye. All my Buddhist disciples, please help me become a Buddha as soon as possible!"

In the sky, the [Buddha Cocoon Relics] that were tempered by the Buddhist magic power and the light of the stars fell towards the human-faced disk of the flesh-and-blood flower like young swallows returning to their nests.

The stamens in the abbot's eyes and mouth, nourished by the starlight, stretched longer and longer, floating towards the sky and connecting with the necks of the flying "Buddha cocoons".

It was as if the fruit had found its roots. Abbot Duowen used a human head (a human-faced flower disk) to carry dozens or even hundreds of Buddha cocoon fruits. Was he both a human and a plant (a tomato)?
It looks like a human-shaped starlight tomato plant that has produced hundreds of fruits. It is particularly harmonious and full of Buddhist charm.

“Buddha Buddha Buddha… jiejiejiejie…Buddha Buddha Buddha… jiejiejiejie…”

After connecting with the abbot, these "Buddha cocoons" seemed to be infused with souls, and they began to speak one by one, some shouting "Buddha" and some calling "Qia".

After receiving the blessing of many [Buddha's Cocoon Relics], the abbot's magic power increased greatly. Suddenly, more than a dozen green vines sprouted from the bottom of his robes, piercing through the tomato monster beside him and merging with himself.

The weirdos didn't struggle. Instead, they looked satisfied and happy, as if they had been liberated to become Buddhas, welcoming the wonderful changes.

Meng Xiyue grumbled, "Couldn't this be like 'Bearing all suffering with my own body, I vow not to attain Buddhahood until I have saved everyone?' If we just connect everyone together and become one, we can save everyone and become a Buddha?"

Yuan Zhu clapped his hands: "That makes sense!"

At this point, the painting style has become extremely bizarre. Abbot Duowen, who is one with nature (plants), suddenly rotates his flesh and blood flower disk, points it at the civilian group where Yuan Zhu and others are, and begins to preach in a spiritual resonance: "If there were no suffering in this world, how could sentient beings know that my Buddha Dharma is boundless and that I am compassionate and save the world?! Taha!"

It roared, and countless 'Buddha cocoons' connected by the human face flower disks wailed, their eyes weeping blood as they shouted noisily: "Kill, kill, kill... blood, blood... flesh, flesh, flesh..."

Above the abbot, the gradually distorted, blood-red starlight, wrapped in strands of green mist, shone down upon the crowd watching the ceremony. It expelled the unrefined 'filthy bones and mad blood' within its body, transforming it into a rising blood mist that blended with the blood light, illuminating the entire venue.

"Damn it!!! I got fooled!"

The mouse in Yuan Zhu's pocket let out a shrill scream, and the uniform on his body trembled uneasily, forming a double defense to resist the distortion of the blood.

But the civilians around them were not so lucky. Their spirits were still trapped in the 'law net' and they had no power to resist the blood-red starlight.

Blood poured back into the body, bringing with it the power of evolution. People's muscles began to swell, and flesh and blood overgrew, their skin unable to bear the weight and crackling with a crackling sound.

Then, familiar green eyeballs emerged from the wound, rotating vividly... showing the characteristics of the green version of the filthy bone monster.

But unlike those crazy beasts, this group of Buddhist people who were polluted by "Duo Wen. Starlight Tomato. Abbot" had their bones transformed into demons. Some of them had pigeon egg-sized tumors on their cheeks, some on their torsos, limbs... and other parts of their bodies, and they grew green skull Buddha head outlines.

Yuan Zhu boldly guessed that the 'Abbot Tomato' was planning to first refine mortals into Buddhist versions of foul-skeletal monsters, and then use his magical powers to bring them back to Buddhism one after another.

In this way, one can truly fulfill the great vow of "saving all sentient beings from the fall of demons, saving the world, and re-establishing the Buddha's kingdom, and then attaining Buddhahood."

"Oh my god, what a cruel monk!"

Seeing the surrounding civilians gradually turning into demons, Yuan Zhu and others no longer hesitated. They raised their guns and fired wildly, trying to carve out a bloody path.

On the other side, Abbot Tomato was not feeling well either. The powerful starlight was not a power that his Buddhist sect could get hold of. He had to indirectly control it by converting and assimilating the Tomato Monster, but naturally he had to pay a corresponding price.

He was seen overusing the blood-colored starlight, and he himself showed a state of schizophrenia, screaming crazily: "Kya ya ya! No no no, I am Vaisravana. Kamayaka... I am Buddha Naye! I am ya ya... I am Vaisravana... I I I... ya! Buddha!... Ah ah ah ah..."

The flesh-and-blood flowers trembled violently, and the Buddha cocoons connected by human-faced flower disks and stamens also began to wail and cry, yelling incoherently in Buddhist and eggplant sounds, and collectively went crazy and bit each other.

"Ahhhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ah, I've realized it! I am - [Butsuka]! I am - [Dabun Butsuka!!]" (Butsu = Buddha. Wood Release. Top Buddha)

The giant human-faced flower disk roared towards the sky, and countless "Buddha head cocoons" connected by flesh and blood stamens also looked up at the starry sky and called out loudly: "Buddha! Buddha! Buddha!!!"

The twisted and powerful starlight descended upon the world again, and the blood-red starlight infected everything.

At this moment, humans and plants coexist perfectly, and Buddha and eggplant become one.

The living Buddha in the bubble world: [Daverna Buddha] is born!
　Considering the reading experience, I will not split it up. Today's chapter really drained me dry.

　　By the way, this book is not a weird one with a horror atmosphere, and I didn’t intend to write it in a thriller or horror direction.

　　The style is a bit quirky at best, but the essence is still lighthearted. For example, this [Buddha Eggplant] can be imagined as a Tomato Buddha, which is obviously very cartoony and cute.

　　Finally, please support me. Please try to keep following the new book and give me some support.
