The man is a monk in the inside, and he starts by giving his wife a crown.

The previously suppressed fear and despair completely burst into ecstatic tears and hugs the moment she saw her child was safe and sound.

"Xiaoya! My Xiaoya!"

"Mom! Wuuwuwu..."

"Great, you're okay. Dad was scared to death!"

There were cries and hugs everywhere, the scene was chaotic but full of gratitude for having survived the disaster.

The children were still in shock and told their parents what had just happened in a halting manner.

The terrifying teacher, the black clouds covering the sky, the man-eating monsters, and finally the young monk who was like a god who came to the world and easily suppressed all evil.

Listening to the children's descriptions and looking at the auditorium which had returned to normal but still bore traces of battle, the parents' eyes towards Xiu Yuan completely changed.

Shock, gratitude, awe...complex emotions intertwined.

I don’t know who took the lead first, but a father in a suit and tie bowed deeply to Xiuyuan. Then, more and more parents spontaneously knelt down in the direction of Xiuyuan, constantly repeating words of gratitude.

"Thank you, Master, for saving your life!"

"Living Buddha, be merciful!"

"Master, please accept our greetings!"

The surging and extremely pure power of incense and vows was like a real tide, gathering from all directions and continuously flowing into Xiuyuan's body.

He stood there, accepting it all calmly, as if he was just collecting the reward he deserved.

The golden body of incense in the body vibrated slightly, absorbing this huge energy, and the relic of vows became more condensed.

Xiuyuan turned around and walked towards Ashaji, who had just walked out of the basement with an extremely ugly expression.

The murderous aura around her almost solidified into substance.

"This matter is over, I will take my leave first."

Xiu Yuan's tone was so calm, as if he had just come out for a walk.

Ashaji looked at him, then looked at the parents who were worshipping him, and then thought of the horrific scene in the basement, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

In her opinion, after resolving such a horrific incident and saving so many lives, Master Xiuyuan did not take credit for himself at all. Instead, he wanted to leave immediately. His demeanor of being indifferent to fame and fortune and leaving without a trace after the task is done is truly admirable.

She bowed solemnly to Xiu Yuan:

"Master Gaoyi, thank you for your help this time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. We will handle the follow-up matters."

In fact, Xiuyuan is now in a hurry to go back and deal with his infinite merit ATM.

After informing Ashaji, Xiuyuan prepared to leave this noisy place.

He leaned over and picked up the piece of golden amber that sealed the Demon Mother Tree on the ground.

The tentacles were cold, and the evil energy trapped inside was like a frozen poisonous snake, emitting faint chaotic fluctuations.

Ashaji looked at him, her lips moved, and finally turned into a whisper:

"Master, take care. We will handle the follow-up."

She understood that this eminent monk had his own rules for doing things, which could not be constrained by conventional etiquette.

Xiuyuan took the amber and turned to walk out of the auditorium.

Those parents who had just experienced the shock of life and death were now hugging their children who had been lost and found, with tears and relief mixed in their eyes.

Seeing Xiu Yuan coming, the crowd unconsciously made way for him, and countless pairs of eyes filled with gratitude, awe, and even a bit of fanatical worship focused on him.

"Grandmaster!"

A father wearing a high-end suit, who had anxiously questioned the police before, suddenly broke free from his wife's support, rushed forward, and knelt heavily on the ground facing Xiuyuan's departing back, his forehead touching the cold ground.

"Master, we will never forget your life-saving grace! Please accept our greetings!"

His action was like lighting a fuse, and the parents around him woke up as if from a dream and followed suit.

For a moment, a crowd of people knelt down at the entrance of the auditorium, and sobs and choked voices of gratitude were heard one after another.

"Master has mercy!"

"How can we repay your kindness?"

"Yes! Erect a monument for the master! No! Cast a golden statue! Right here in this school, so that the children will always remember your kindness today!"

This proposal received an instant response from everyone, and the gratitude after despair turned into the most primitive impulse.

"That's right! A golden body! Made of pure gold!"

"I'll give you 3 million yen!"

"I'll give you 10 million!"

"Count me in! Five million!"

The father who had taken the lead in kneeling stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and said in a voice trembling with emotion, but with unquestionable determination:

"Everyone! I'll be in charge of the communication for this matter! We must forge the most solemn golden statue for the master, to be worshipped for eternity!"

Someone at the scene immediately took out their cell phones, paper and pen and started counting the donations.

977

In just a few minutes, the amount of pledges accumulated rapidly like a snowball, easily breaking through the 100 million yen mark and continuing to rise.

The father's face was flushed with excitement. He knew one thing very clearly: he had seized the opportunity!

By creating a golden body for Master Xiuyuan, I can get in touch with Master Xiuyuan!

As long as you seize this opportunity, you will surely reach great heights in the future!

However, all this noise and excitement had nothing to do with Xiuyuan who turned and left.

He walked steadily through the crowd and out of the school gate, oblivious to the boiling wave of gratitude behind him.

The parents' passionate fundraising plans did not even reach his ears.

For him, saving people is just a matter of convenience, and gaining merit is the main purpose.

Xiu Yuan stopped in a secluded and deserted place far away from the school.

His mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and with a slight movement of his thoughts, he instantly established a connection with the Acala thangka far away in the underground space of Kabukicho.

The Buddha statues painted on the thangka seemed to come alive, with Buddha's light flowing and an invisible pulling force coming across the space.

The next moment, Xiuyuan's figure blurred slightly, like ripples on the water, and then disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in the familiar underground space.

The air was filled with the scent of a mixture of light sandalwood and spiritual energy. The Acala thangka suspended in the center emitted a soft and majestic light, suppressing the local geomantic nodes and isolating it from all prying eyes from the outside world.

The formations carved on the surrounding stone walls flickered slightly, maintaining the stability of the space.

Xiu Yuan casually placed the piece of golden amber that sealed the Demon Mother Tree on the stone platform beside him.

Under the Buddha's light of the thangka, the twisted monster inside the amber looks even more hideous, but it is firmly imprisoned and unable to move.

He looked at this "trophy" and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After integrating the "Dark Bible", Kitami Reika did have great potential, but unfortunately her brain was not very good.

However, this is also a good thing, it just helps him achieve his goal.

This thing, if handled properly, can be a "sustainable leek" that can continuously provide merit, and its value is much higher than killing it directly.

We need to study carefully how to maximize its use.

Chapter 118: Endless Tentacle Breeding Hell!

Xiu Yuan returned to the underground space of Kabukicho and casually placed the golden amber that sealed the Demon Mother Tree on the stone platform.

Under the Buddha's light of the thangka, the twisted monster inside the amber looks even more hideous, but it is firmly imprisoned and unable to move.

He looked at the trophy, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After integrating the "Dark Bible", Kitami Reika did have great potential, but unfortunately her brain was not very good.

However, this was also a good thing, as it just happened to fulfill his wish. This thing, if handled properly, could become a sustainable leek that continuously provided merit, much more valuable than killing it directly.

We need to study carefully how to maximize its use.

Xiuyuan stretched out his finger, and a ray of pure Buddha light condensed at his fingertips, gently touching the golden amber.

The seal was broken immediately, and the power that bound the Demon Mother Tree receded like the tide.

Almost at the moment the seal was lifted, the demon mother tree in the amber shook violently, and the twisted tree body expanded violently. Countless roots grew wildly from the bottom like living things, instantly piercing the stone platform and digging deep into the ground, greedily absorbing the earth's spiritual energy that was suppressed and gathered by thangka here.

"Roar--!"

A roar mixed with pain, anger and madness erupted from the blurred face in the center of the tree trunk.

Without the suppression of the seal, the demon mother tree, which had integrated the "Dark Bible" and the remaining will of Kitami Reika, instinctively regarded the monk in front of it, who exuded a terrifying aura, as the greatest threat.

Dozens of tentacles covered with eyeballs and sharp teeth, carrying the mixed spiritual energy they had just absorbed and their own remaining demonic energy, lashed towards Xiu Yuan like a mad whip!

The air was filled with the smell of decay and chaos.

Faced with this desperate counterattack, Xiu Yuan didn't even raise his eyelids.

"Noisy."

His lips moved slightly, and a single word uttered. Along with this word, an invisible Buddha light imbued with the majestic will of Acala descended instantly, striking directly at the core consciousness of the Demon Mother Tree.

"Do not--!"

An extremely shrill yet abruptly stopped spiritual cry echoed in the void. It was the sound of Kitami Reika's remaining consciousness being completely annihilated and dissipated under the impact of the Buddha's light.

The attacking movement of the Demon Mother Tree froze instantly. All the eyeballs on the tree lost focus and became cloudy and dull. The waving of its tentacles also became disorderly, leaving only the most primitive instinct of growth and energy absorption.

Kitami Reika, as a conscious subject, completely disappeared.

Now this tree is nothing more than a shell with empty power.

Xiu Yuan then nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Keeping it in mind will only cause trouble and affect "output".

As his mind moved, the shadow of Acala's true form quietly emerged behind him. Although it was not as solid and huge as when he was in school, the majesty of suppressing everything and seeing through the origin of things was still the same.

The Dharmakāya's gaze was cast upon the demon mother tree in front of him, which was left with only its instincts, and he began to carefully explore its internal structure, especially the changes that occurred after it was fused with the Dark Bible.

The Buddha's light is like the most sophisticated probe, penetrating into the twisted tree trunk, slippery tentacles, and roots deep into the earth.

Soon, Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Deep in the core of this demon mother tree, he sensed a strange, chaotic yet law-based power fluctuation.

It originated from the Dark Bible, and was distorted and transformed by Kitami Reika's sacrifice and her own devilish contract... an incomplete fragment of the law of "reproduction" and "derivation".

This tree still retains the ability to produce those small inferior demons, and because it is rooted in the spiritual veins of this place, its energy supply is far more abundant than when it was in school.

As long as it is provided with enough energy, it can continuously create little demons full of negative energy.

Xiu Yuan looked closely at the strange and chaotic power fluctuations deep in the core of the Demon Mother Tree, which vaguely carried the outline of some rules.

Originating from the Dark Bible, and catalyzed by Kitami Reika's twisted sacrifice and the power of the devil's contract, it eventually formed such an... incomplete fragment of the law of "reproduction" and "derivation"?

"Breeding?" Xiu Yuan pondered for a moment. The word sounded quite serious, but when applied to this twisted and filthy demon mother tree, it seemed weird no matter how he thought about it.

An inappropriate thought even flashed through his mind:

Could it be that those guys in Hell have also started to expand their business and steal the job of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth? If the real master knew about this, I'm afraid even the lotus throne would be furious.

He quickly put this absurd thought aside and returned his attention to the tree itself.

Since it has retained the ability to produce inferior demons and is rooted in this earth vein node with abundant spiritual energy, energy supply is not a problem.

In theory, this thing could produce little demons endlessly as long as he wanted.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk.

Xiu Yuan thought about it and gave an order to the demon mother tree that had lost its main consciousness and only had primitive instincts left - to give birth.

The command was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the Demon Mother Tree responded immediately.

The roots buried in the ground squirmed wildly, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of the earth veins that were suppressed and gathered by thangka, and the mixed energy poured into the tree trunk.

The originally dull eyeballs on the tree trunk began to move unconsciously, and the tentacles twitched slightly.
