"Donor, the sea of suffering is boundless, but when you turn around, you will find the shore."
Saeki Kaori didn't hear the warning contained in it at all.
Her fanatical pursuit of supernatural powers made her completely ignore the danger signals at this moment.
In her opinion, Xiuyuan's Buddhist mantra and exhortation just proved his inner "fear" and "struggle", and further confirmed her judgment that she had grasped the other party's weakness.
"Turn back? Too late!"
Kaori snorted triumphantly, but instead of letting go, she subconsciously wanted to increase the intensity of the "threat" because she felt that the other party seemed to have no reaction.
But just as she was about to exert force again, the touch from her palm made her suddenly stunned.
Not right.
The thing in your hand seems to have changed?
Although originally firm, it was still of normal size and hardness. However, it began to expand at a speed that astonished her.
It was as if some sleeping giant had awakened in her palm, filled with brutal and irresistible power.
This sudden change made Kaori a little confused and she couldn't react for a while.
She subconsciously squeezed it a little harder, trying to confirm the strange feeling.
The solid touch from her palm and the increasingly irresistible presence made her feel a vague sense of unease for the first time.
It seems different from what she thought?
This strange change made her brain short-circuit instantly. She didn't know whether to hold on or let go, and the mischievous smugness on her face froze.
This monk...isn't his body structure a little too outrageous?
She subconsciously tightened her grip, trying to confirm the strange touch, but the solidity and increasingly irresistible presence in her hand made her feel strange and a little indescribable panic for the first time.
This monk seemed to have nothing to do with the "ordinary" person she had imagined.
Just when Saeki Kaori was at a loss as to what to do and her face turned red and white, a gentle but unlookable golden Buddha light suddenly burst out from Xiuyuan in front of her.
The light was not dazzling, but it carried a sacred and solemn atmosphere that instantly filled the entire room.
"Wow--!"
Kaori Saeki was so shocked by the sudden scene that her eyes widened and she subconsciously loosened her holding hands, but the excitement instantly overwhelmed the embarrassment and panic.
Buddha's light! It really was Buddha's light! She knew it! This monk was no ordinary person! He really could perform magic!
"I knew it! I knew you were no ordinary monk!"
Kaori jumped on the spot excitedly, pointing at Xiuyuan, her voice a little distorted with excitement.
"Quick! Do it again! What kind of spell is this? Is it a barrier? Or..."
Before she could finish her words, the surrounding scene suddenly shook.
It's not dizziness, but the whole space is twisting and folding.
One moment it was the familiar hotel room, and the next, the carpet beneath my feet had transformed into a cold, hard stone floor...
The light around them dimmed, and the air was filled with a smell mixed with sandalwood and some strange energy.
Kaori Saeki stood there in a daze, looking around.
They seemed to be in a rather spacious underground space.
"This is... teleportation? Teleportation?!"
Saeki Kaori reacted, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she grabbed Xiuyuan's arm and shook it hard.
"Oh my god! You can even use space magic! That's amazing! Where is this place? Is this your secret base? Like in the movies! Tell me now! Who are you?!"
Her eyes lit up like an explorer who had discovered a new world. She completely forgot about her embarrassing behavior of almost "molesting" the other person, and also ignored the possible dangers in this space itself. Her mind was full of curiosity and enthusiasm about the unknown supernatural power.
She felt like she had stumbled upon a treasure: a living, mysterious monk who could cast spells was right before her!
Xiuyuan let her grab his arm and shake him, his expression remained calm, as if he had just changed his standing position.
He looked around the succubus's lair suppressed by Tangka and was quite satisfied with its stability and energy flow.
Xiuyuan's gaze finally shifted away from this underground space and fell back on Saeki Kaori, who was still very excited.
This girl was so bold just now. Not only did she speak disrespectfully, she also tried to provoke me. She was simply provoking the Buddha.
This female ghost who is ignorant of her own limitations, who has offended the monks and even the Buddhist teachings, should be punished so that she understands what reverence is.
Being quietly stared at by Xiuyuan's light golden eyes, the enthusiasm of discovering a new world in Saeki Kaori's heart finally cooled down a little.
She belatedly sensed the eerie silence of the surroundings, as well as the cold aura emanating from the monk in front of her, which was completely different from his gentle appearance just now.
Looking back now, that "judgment" I just made seemed so stupid and ridiculous.
She seemed to have provoked a very, very troublesome existence.
"Well, that, Master."
The excitement on Kaori's face froze, and was replaced by panic. She carefully let go of the hand that was still holding Xiuyuan's arm, shrank back, and her voice was filled with tears.
"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I was just... just too curious about these supernatural things! I offended you in the heat of the moment! Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me! Please, forgive me this time!"
She spoke very quickly, clasped her hands together, and bowed desperately to apologize. Tears came and went, hanging on her face as if they were about to fall. She tried to gain forgiveness by showing weakness.
However, Xiu Yuan ignored her apology and his expression did not change.
The low and rhythmic sound of chanting slowly sounded.
"Om Mani Padme Hum..."
As the solemn six-syllable mantra echoed in the underground space, the soft yet extremely majestic golden Buddha light once again emanated from Xiuyuan's body.
This time, the Buddha's light was no longer just covering, but rapidly condensing and transforming.
Under Kaori Saeki's horrified gaze, countless golden points of light gathered into streams, weaving into chains shining with mysterious runes.
These Buddha light chains seemed to have life, silently breaking through the air and precisely wrapping around Saeki Kaori's limbs and waist.
She didn't even have time to scream before she was firmly locked by the chains that appeared out of nowhere, slowly lifted up, and finally suspended in the air in a humiliating "Spider" position, unable to move.
“Ah! Let me go! What are you doing?!”
Kaori was terrified and struggled desperately, but the seemingly illusory golden chain was stronger than she could have imagined. No matter how she twisted, it didn't move at all, but instead became tighter and tighter.
What made her even more ashamed and angry was that as she was completely hung up and fixed, the Buddha's light chains wrapped around her seemed to have some kind of purifying power. Wherever they passed, all external objects on her body except her body turned into ashes.
In a blink of an eye, Kaori Saeki was hanging in the air naked, just like when she was just born.
The cold air stimulated her skin, which had never been exposed like this before, causing her to shiver.
Shame, fear, and an unprecedented sense of helplessness instantly overwhelmed her.
She looked at the young monk below who had an expressionless face and continued to chant in a low voice, and for the first time she felt a real fear deep in her bones.
This monk is not someone she can afford to offend!
Chapter 67: Ai Li also wants nectar!
Facing Saeki Kaori's pleading, Xiu Yuan didn't even raise his eyelids, as if the shrill sound was just the wind blowing through dead leaves. He maintained his indifferent expression, letting her dangle in mid-air like a piece of bacon, the rope cutting deeply into her flesh, her posture in a state of disarray.
"Amitabha." Xiuyuan chanted the Buddha's name, his voice so steady that not a single ripple could be heard.
"Donor's sins require quiet reflection and cleansing here."
He paused, his eyes scanning Saeki Kaori's face, which was twisted with anger and fear.
"I will come to visit you regularly to check your repentance."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Saeki Kaori could make any other sound, a faint flash of Buddha's light appeared around Xiuyuan, and his figure disappeared into thin air like water vapor, without even a trace of breath left.
There, only Saeki Kaori and the endless darkness were left.
"Put me down! Please! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
At first, she pleaded in a sobbing voice, and her voice echoed in the empty underground space, sounding particularly lonely and desolate.
She twisted her body, trying to break free, but the specially made ropes didn't budge, instead tightening even more, causing waves of excruciating pain.
The only response she got was the echo of her own voice and the heart-wrenching, all-consuming silence.
Darkness came from all directions like sticky ink, enveloping her.
The senses were deprived, leaving only the cold and damp feeling on the skin and the faint earthy smell in the nose.
Fear crept up her spine like a cold, poisonous snake.
"Asshole! Bald donkey! You will die a miserable death!"
Her pleading was in vain, and Saeki Kaori's fear began to turn into anger. She roared with all her strength, and all kinds of obscenities poured out like crazy, trying to use her voice to break the terrible silence and dispel the chill in her heart.
However, her curses also fell on deaf ears and did not cause any ripples.
Only her own voice collided and rebounded in the darkness, and finally dissipated tiredly, which only highlighted her helplessness and insignificance.
As she cursed, her voice gradually became lower and turned into intermittent sobs.
The darkness did not retreat at all because of her anger, but became even thicker.
She began to imagine that there were countless pairs of eyes watching her in the darkness, and cold fingers about to touch her skin.
"Wu...someone come and save me...I don't want to stay here..."
She completely collapsed like a lost child, tears mixed with sweat streaming down her face, and her body trembled uncontrollably with extreme fear.
This boundless darkness and complete isolation made her more desperate than any torture.
She never thought that one day she would end up in such a situation, with no one to turn to for help.
Only the golden Buddha-light chains that bound her and the even colder darkness were her only "companions" at this moment. Xiu Yuan's condensed consciousness hovered in mid-air like an invisible eye, coldly watching the increasingly hysterical figure below.
To him, Kaori Saeki's curses and pleas sounded no different from the noisy chirping of insects.
This young lady who doesn't know how to live or die is arrogant, but her methods are ridiculously childish.
If her pride is not completely crushed and her edges are not smoothed out, she will fall into the hands of a truly cruel and ruthless person in the future, and her fate will probably be a hundred times more miserable.
In this world of variety shows, people play him like a badass.
Rather than being toyed with and humiliated by others, it is better for me to "convert" her first, so that she will not cause trouble to others in the future. Maybe she can be of some other use in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiu Yuan felt calm. It didn't take much effort to deal with a mortal who tried to provoke him.
In the spiritual sense, Saeki Kaori's initial timidity was soon replaced by the fear brought by the boundless darkness.
The uncontrollable trembling of her body and the despair and collapse in her voice were all clearly conveyed.
Very good, the initial effects are showing. Fear is the most effective weapon to destroy one's will, especially in this completely isolated and helpless environment.
Let her enjoy it alone for a while, and wait until that stubbornness is completely worn away before moving on to the next step.
Xiu Yuan withdrew most of his attention, leaving only a weak trace of spiritual awareness to continue monitoring, just to make sure that the little girl didn't torture herself to death.
After dealing with this insignificant matter involving Saeki Kaori, Xiuyuan completely calmed his mind.
For him, the most important thing right now was to improve his own strength. He sat cross-legged in the quiet room, his mind sinking into the sea of consciousness. The Kalachakra Tantra he had exchanged from the system slowly unfolded like a scroll.
This secret technique was extremely profound, far surpassing any technique he had encountered before. The words between the lines seemed to vaguely point to the origin of some kind of power.
He put aside all distracting thoughts, focused his mind and body, and began to carefully circulate the Buddha power and qi and blood accumulated in his body according to the unique methods contained in the secret law.
The syllables of the ancient and difficult-to-pronounce mantra flow silently in my heart. Every sound seems to contain an indescribable strange power, pulling the surging energy in my body and slowly running along mysterious and complex trajectories.
The thin spiritual energy in the surrounding air seemed to be inspired by some invisible force and began to slowly and continuously gather towards him, being absorbed into his body for refining.
The Vajra Indestructible Body began to move on its own, a faint golden light appeared and flowed under his skin, and the bones and muscles of his limbs made extremely subtle crackling sounds like frying beans.
Every deep breath takes away a trace of imperceptible turbid air in the body, in exchange for a more refined and condensed energy.
This is not just a simple increase in strength, but more like a slow transformation of the level of life.
Xiuyuan really enjoys the feeling of becoming stronger every minute and every second. Strength is the only foundation for survival and fulfillment of one's own will in this world.
Whether the means were just and whether the process was in line with what the world calls benevolence and morality was never within his consideration.
As long as the final result is beneficial to oneself, all actions are meaningful.
He even felt that the appearance of Saeki Kaori was a "testing stone" delivered to his doorstep, which was just right for him to test his current state of mind and whether he would still be disturbed by some unnecessary emotions.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good, and my mind is as calm as water without any waves.
