Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The events of the Dragon Boat Festival happened long ago, but their aftershocks continue to reverberate.

Jinshan Temple is deserted, a far cry from its former prosperity.

On the contrary, several other temples in Hangzhou made a fortune and gradually prospered.

Meanwhile, undercurrents were also swirling within Jinshan Temple, with some senior monks even going on pilgrimages.

Those who remained in the temple all wanted to drive Fahai away.

On this day, two unfamiliar monks appeared at the entrance of Jinshan Temple. They were tall and had resolute faces, each carrying a begging bowl.

Although he was dressed in Buddhist robes, he exuded a murderous aura, making him seem nothing like a Buddhist disciple.

The two monks looked Jinshan Temple up and down. One of them, the younger monk, asked:

"Senior brother, is this Jinshan Temple?"

The other monk didn't reply, but simply nodded, then walked to the gate of Jinshan Temple and barged straight inside.

When the novice monks at the temple gate saw people entering, they initially thought they were worshippers and happily came over to greet them.

When they saw that the visitor was a monk, their expressions changed.

"Hehehe, Jinshan Temple doesn't accept overnight guests. You've come to the wrong place!"

The two monks were not angry, and calmly said:

"We're not here to place an order; we're here to find someone."

The novices immediately curled their lip in disapproval.

"Heh, who came to our Jinshan Temple to stay overnight? Didn't they say they were looking for someone? Let me tell you, you're out of luck!"

"In the past, our temple was very popular. Even though we didn't accept you as guests, we would still provide you with a vegetarian meal and give you a few taels of silver."

"But now... humph, you'd better get out of here."

The two monks exchanged a glance, remained calm, and stood blocking the doorway without leaving.

The novices, seeing that they wouldn't leave, finally started to get anxious.

"Why can't you two understand human language?"

They came over to push the two monks away, but as soon as their hands touched the two monks, they felt a tremendous force.

The novices were instantly thrown back by the force, staggering dozens of steps backward. They couldn't regain their balance until they crashed into the wall and finally stopped.

"Ouch! That hurts so much!"

The novices were dazed and confused, crying out in pain, which alerted even more people.

The monks of Jinshan Temple came out one after another. When they saw the two unfamiliar monks, they were all puzzled, as they did not recognize them at all.

However, when the temple supervisor came out, he had a smile on his face.

"You've finally arrived!"

He stepped forward and showed great kindness and concern to the two monks.

The other novices were even more surprised when they saw this, and they all listened intently. After a long time, they finally understood.

It turns out that these two monks were outside help invited by the temple supervisor, specifically to deal with Fahai.

Since the temple supervisor returned to the temple, he has broken ties with the abbot and wants to drive out both the abbot and Fahai so that he can become the new abbot.

However, the temple supervisor was also a smart man. He knew very well that dealing with the abbot was not difficult, but dealing with Fahai would not be possible with just words.

So he used many methods and spent a great deal of money to finally contact the two monks.

Although he is not as high-ranking as Fahai, he is definitely not someone Fahai can easily defeat.

In particular, Fahai was still injured and was not at his peak.

"As long as they force Fahai to show himself, that's enough! Unless Fahai doesn't want to be a monk anymore, he'll have no choice but to slink away from Jinshan Temple!"

The temple supervisor's eyes gleamed with cunning as he began to fantasize about first getting rid of Fahai, then sending away the old abbot, and then the entire Jinshan Temple would be his territory.

Although Jinshan Temple has suffered a blow and is far from what it used to be, even a broken boat still has some nails.

Besides, the temple supervisor was confident that his management skills were also quite good, and it wouldn't be long before he could restore Jinshan Temple to its former glory.

"Although Mount Ling is a sacred Buddhist site, it's not a place detached from worldly affairs. As long as I offer enough gifts and benefits, I will receive something in return."

"Perhaps I'll also have a chance to ascend to Mount Ling!"

The abbot grew increasingly agitated and grabbed the two monks, saying, "I'll lead the way for you to drive away that scoundrel Fahai!"

After saying this, he took the initiative to walk ahead and headed straight for the thatched hut where Fahai was healing his wounds.

Before they could even get close, the abbot stopped them.

The abbot said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, what are you doing? Why have you brought outsiders into our Jinshan Temple?"

The temple supervisor dropped the pretense and sneered.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by 'bringing outsiders in'?"

"These two are my juniors, what harm would it do if I invited them to the temple?"

"Besides, I think our Jinshan Temple is a mess, a den of filth and corruption. It's a good opportunity to invite a monk from outside to clean it up!"

As soon as he spoke, Jinshan Temple became lively. All the monks knew that the temple supervisor was going to challenge the abbot.

What do you mean by "harboring filth and evil"? It's clearly an attack on Fahai!

The abbot knew something was wrong and felt uncertain. He subconsciously turned around and found no movement from Fahai's side, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Junior brother, please stop joking! My Jinshan Temple is an ancient temple with a history of thousands of years, and it is even protected by dragon energy. How could it harbor filth?"

"Since these two are your juniors, then you should find a place for them to stay."

Seeing that the abbot was starting to play dumb, the temple supervisor became even more smug.

"Senior brother, what nonsense are you spouting at a time like this? If you expel that scoundrel Fahai from Jinshan Temple now, then we can still talk. Otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already quite clear.

The two monks behind the abbot stepped forward without saying a word, but they exuded a powerful aura.

All the monks present felt immense pressure; their facial expressions gradually stiffened, and their bodies involuntarily retreated.

The novice monks who had just been slammed against the wall collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to get up again.

The abbot was the first to be affected; his beard was trembling, and he was in great pain.

He tried to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted.

The temple supervisor said, "What are you waiting for? Push this old bald monk aside first, then come with me and rush in, throw Fahai out!"

All the monks felt a chill in their hearts. The temple supervisor's words were too outrageous. No matter what, the abbot was their senior brother. How could he just call him a bald monk?

He's a bald monk, and who are you? And who are we?

Even the two outsiders invited by the temple supervisor were speechless. After a moment of silence, they nodded and reached out to push the abbot away.

But at that moment, a man walked out of the thatched hut behind the abbot; it was Fahai.

Fahai was pale, as if he had not yet fully recovered, but his expression was calm.

Fahai asked, "Master, what's wrong now?"

Upon seeing Fahai, the abbot's pressure vanished instantly. He looked delighted and pointed at the temple supervisor and the two monks.

"Fahai, these two are here to cause trouble! Get them out of here right now!"

Fahai did not immediately obey the order, but instead looked at the two monks and asked in a deep voice:

Is that really the case?

The two monks exchanged a glance, each sensing the other's apprehension.

Fahai did not appear to have fully recovered, but his aura was very strong.

They weren't players and couldn't see Fahai's condition, but they could sense that something was wrong.

What exactly is the situation with this Fahai?

"He seems to possess profound Buddhist cultivation; he doesn't appear to be a bad person!"

"What exactly happened that he was captured by the heavenly soldiers the day before yesterday?"

Both monks hesitated.

The temple supervisor jumped up and down, urging, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and make your move!"

Before the two monks could make a move, Fahai turned to look at the temple supervisor.

"So it was you who was behind this! You evil heretic, you're unworthy to be a monk!"

After saying this, Fahai actually made a move. A huge roar was heard, and a giant dragon phantom appeared in front of Fahai, rushing straight towards the temple supervisor.

【Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!】

The next moment, the temple supervisor vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed, leaving only a cloud of blood mist.

Everyone fell silent, and the two monks were especially shaken.

Who said Fahai was injured? I think he's even more powerful now!

Only the abbot dared to speak, anxiously approaching Fahai from behind: "Fahai, even if the temple supervisor was wrong, you shouldn't have just killed him..."

Fahai interrupted the abbot and said:

"He not only refused to help me subdue demons, but also instigated infighting within Buddhism; he was destined for death!"

"Don't worry, Master, even if I beat him to death, no one will dare say a word!"

The abbot's eyelids twitched as he looked at Fahai, realizing that his disciple seemed to be different.

Although the Fahai of the past was also upright, he was not this outrageous and still understood human relationships to some extent.

But after being beaten by the heavenly soldiers, he seemed to have become a different person, stubbornly sticking to his principles.

The abbot dared not offer any further advice and said, "What you said makes some sense."

"Fahai, after you emerge from seclusion, will you go to the Lin family mansion to capture demons again?"

Upon hearing the words "capture demons," Fahai's expression changed again, and he said in a deep voice:

"There's no rush! I already know that those ghosts and spirits from last time were just an illusion! After those two snake demons, there are even more powerful monsters!"

"To deal with them, we must rely on external forces."

"I will make my move once I am ready!"

[Ding! Fahai has recovered from his injuries and entered the second phase. Players, please deal with him as soon as possible!]

Just as Fahai's injuries healed, Lin Xuan also received a system notification.

His lips twitched, but he didn't care at all.

This message is a trap. Countless players have fallen for it in the past. After receiving the message, they rushed to deal with Fahai, only to be slapped to death by him.

The so-called second stage is when Fahai realizes that Bai Suzhen is not easy to deal with and begins to use the power of Leifeng Pagoda.

Jinshan Temple is like a tortoise shell, difficult to pry open. Add to that the Leifeng Pagoda, and it becomes even more formidable in both offense and defense.

Leifeng Pagoda, though not as magnificent as the Pagoda of the Heavenly King Li Jing, would still be an extremely powerful magical artifact in the mortal realm, and one that could kill with its own set of mechanisms.

Once you're imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda, unless your cultivation level is high enough to break through it, you'll be suppressed there forever, regardless of your background or origins.

At this point, Fahai should have activated Leifeng Pagoda and attacked directly, which would have been tantamount to suicide.

"Judging by the days, it's not time yet, so we don't need to worry about it."

Lin Xuan shook his head and chuckled softly, then closed his eyes.
