Chapter 453: The Buddha Hanging Upside Down
Chapter 453: The Buddha Hanging Upside Down
The old monk sits upright with a solemn and dignified appearance, like a Buddha statue above Buddha statues.
The sound of chanting scriptures continuously came out of his mouth and then spread in all directions with the help of his internal strength.
But Chu Qing looked around and didn't find the bell.
"Junior brother, be careful."
Meng Hui reminded in a low voice.
But when he turned around, he found that Chu Qing had disappeared.
His heart skipped a beat, and when he looked again, Chu Qing had unexpectedly reached the top of the Buddha statue without him noticing, and was standing next to the old monk, looking at him quietly.
The old monk was truly in a state of meditation, not even paying attention to anything outside.
Chu Qing was very close to him, but he didn't notice anything.
Until Chu Qing gently patted his shoulder:
"Stop reading, stop reading, take a break."
The old monk then woke up from his dream, and the scriptures that were full of endless temptations suddenly stopped.
The old monk opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Chu Qing in astonishment:
"Amitabha! Who are you?"
While speaking, his palm turned and his shriveled palm hit Chu Qing's chest.
The palm was covered with golden light, and the energy spread in all directions. The power was so strong that before he could even strike, Meng Hui and others could feel a suffocating gust of wind coming from the palm.
Meng Hui's face changed drastically.
Although Wan Chunhua has already said that Chu Qing is the leader of the martial arts world in Lingbei.
But he had never seen it before... But the old monk's martial arts were truly terrifying, and he knew he couldn't take on this palm strike at all.
So I couldn't help shouting:
"Brother, be careful. This thief is plotting to hurt someone."
With a snapping sound, the old monk's palm stopped in mid-air, and the powerful force of his palm disappeared without a trace.
“The master is so despicable, asking me who I am while attacking me by surprise.
"A palm force this strong can kill someone."
Trina's voice was full of teasing.
The old monk's face suddenly changed, but he just rolled his eyes and said:
"Oh, I was frightened by you, so I acted in a hurry. I hope you won't mind."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Chu Qing laughed loudly and reached out to help the old monk up:
“Let alone the master, even if I were suddenly startled by someone, I would inevitably act without restraint.
"Come, come, come, Master, please stand up. I have something to say to you."
The monk nodded repeatedly, but just before he stood up, he suddenly clapped his left hand:
"If you have anything to say, go to the West Heaven and speak to the Buddha."
His palm hit Chu Qing's shoulder firmly.
Meng Hui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became furious again:
"Thief Baldy, how dare you..."
Before you could finish what you were going to say, you saw the old monk on the Buddha statue flying backwards at a very fast speed, like a kite with a broken string.
It directly hit another statue not far away.
A handful of old bones were embedded in the body of the Buddha statue, with huge cracks spreading out. The statue was in good condition, but it was about to fall apart and turn into rubble all over the ground.
Meng Hui's next words became:
"Oh, this is the Buddha statue carved by Ermao. Will he be heartbroken when he sees it tomorrow?"
The old monk didn't hear what Meng Hui said. His body had already fallen from the chest of the Buddha statue along with the rubble. He just turned around and sat cross-legged on the ground.
He clasped his hands together, muttered something, and golden light emanated from his body. In the dim light, a huge shadow of an arhat stood up behind him.
The Arhat’s appearance, the angry eyes of a Vajra, are majestic and imposing!
The moment he appeared, he slapped Chu Qing without saying a word.
There was a loud bang, and the Buddha statue where Chu Qing was was smashed into pieces by the Arhat's huge palm print.
The old monk sat cross-legged, his whole body wrapped in golden light. Without him stretching out his hands or raising his legs, the Arhat Dharma-image had already swung his fist and smashed hard, causing the surrounding ground to shake and rocks to shatter in all directions.
"Master, why do you have to do this?"
A voice suddenly came from the monk again. He turned his head and saw that the Arhat had been fighting for a long time. Chu Qing was not far from him and spoke with a smile:
"I just seem to want to have a chat with you, why are you making such a big fuss?
"How about we calm down for a while?"
After saying this, he opened his five fingers again, raised his palm, and pushed it outwards.
A strong wind blew with great force, and the old monk uttered a cry of surprise. The first thing to be hit was the Dharma image above his head, which was blown away by the palm wind in an instant. Soon after, golden light appeared all over his body. This was obviously a magical skill to protect the body, but it did not last for a moment before it disappeared completely.
Finally, the old monk was blown away by the palm wind, and he remained cross-legged when the strong wind swept him.
His body stumbled and smashed more than a dozen Buddha statues in one breath. Then he fell to the side like a rag bag, breathing in but not out.
Ever since Chu Qing showed up, he started to attack with his hands, using a variety of methods one after another. As a result, Chu Qing only struck him with one palm from beginning to end, and the beating was so severe that he was in a dilemma between life and death.
Now he was lying on the ground, his eyes becoming increasingly cloudy, as if he was doubting his life.
Meng Hui was also questioning his life.
It’s not because Chu Qing’s martial arts skills are too high.
After all, Wan Chunhua had previously revealed Chu Qing's identity as the leader of the martial arts world. Even if one wanted to know, one should know that Chu Qing's martial arts must be extraordinary.
He did this because the palm technique Chu Qing had just used... was clearly the Qingxu Palm!
But, is the Qingxu Palm so powerful?
He has been practicing for almost his entire life, and his hands are covered with calluses, but he has never seen a Qingxu Palm with such power.
Chu Qing didn't know what Meng Hui was thinking. He took a step forward and came to the old monk.
The old monk heard the footsteps, then looked up at him and spoke weakly:
"You... who are you?"
"People of the five evil worlds."
Chu Qing said with a smile:
"I came here to ask the master to take us to Tianfo Temple so that I can find eternal peace."
The old monk's face twitched suddenly, and he simply closed his eyes, muttering something again.
Chu Qing was speechless. If the martial arts of these people were to be called Buddhist martial arts, it did seem to be so... but some aspects were completely different.
Anyway, he had never seen that Buddhist martial arts required chanting of mantras.
He didn't intend to wait for the old monk to perform his tricks, so he simply pointed his finger down.
The finger he pointed was the Yang Finger, and when it pointed at the wind, a hissing sound was heard.
It was like something that was blown up, and he poked a hole in it with his finger, and it began to leak air.
The old monk also widened his eyes and couldn't help but glare at Chu Qing:
"you……"
Chu Qing was stunned, and suddenly found that the old monk began to shrink rapidly. His already shriveled body became even shriveled, as if some huge force was sucking his blood, flesh and marrow from the inside.
The whole person actually developed into a meat ball.
His heart moved slightly, and he kicked it away.
The meat ball flew quite far away before making a loud thud and shattering several Buddha statues.
"what happened?"
Wu Qianhuan and the others were all dumbfounded. The scene just now was extremely weird.
Chu Qing pondered for a moment and said:
"He was probably trying to use a method that would result in both of them dying, but I disrupted his method, causing his meridians to flow in the opposite direction. What was supposed to flow smoothly was now flowing against the flow, and in the end it became like this?"
He was not too sure. The old monk died too suddenly for him to see it so clearly.
The shepherd boy couldn't help but chuckle:
"You are so mean! The old monk was just sitting there chanting sutras without saying anything, and you came up and beat him to death."
"I don't know who was the one who said he wanted to vent his anger just now."
Chu Qing didn't spoil her either.
"Now that I'm out of my temper, what should I do next?"
The shepherd boy spread his hands:
"The old monk was beaten to death. How can we find Tianfo Temple?"
"Wait until they send more people." Wu Qianhuan said casually:
“This scripture covers the entire Tianfo Village. If Tianfo Temple has such a plot, we must keep an eye on it.
“Now that the scriptures have stopped, they will definitely have someone come to check what’s going on.
“Just wait for them.
"Besides, we are now within the scope of Tianfo Temple. Is it possible that we still cannot find this temple?"
"Sister is so smart."
The shepherd boy's eyes lit up.
Wu Qianhuan felt strange after hearing this and couldn't help but glance at the shepherd boy. Seeing that she didn't look fake, she glanced at Chu Qing again with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Chu Qing said:
"Let's go, go back."
"Don't wait?"
The shepherd boy couldn't help asking.
Chu Qing said:
“Wait, but there’s no need to wait here.
“When their people come out and find the old monk dead, they will know that there are outsiders in the village.
"They will take the initiative to find us in the village."
Everyone thought what he said made sense, so they returned to Meng Hui's residence together.
The waiting time always seems so long, so I just chat casually.
Meng Hui talked about the question Chu Qing had asked earlier, and let Chu Qing know that the Xuhuai Sect is now in the Eastern Region and is slowly developing.
The shepherd boy talked about what happened after he was rescued by Chu Qing.
As the daughter of Shang Qiuyu, even if the things she experienced were ordinary, once she was involved with someone like Shang Qiuyu, it seemed extraordinary.
But the actual process is nothing big.
Shang Qiuyu went to the Abandoned God Valley because of the Ghost Emperor's affairs, and You Zong traveled around the Southern Region for the affairs of the Tianxie Cult.
She was confined to her home and not allowed to go out, but after a long time she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go out for a walk.
As a result, the maidservant was killed by Wan Chunhua because she rescued him with kindness.
The shepherd boy was furious about this and chased Wan Chunhua all the way, and finally got trapped here.
Chu Qing listened silently and glanced at Wan Chunhua again.
Wan Chunhua sighed:
“Miss Shang, I know I have made a huge mistake, and it is irreversible.
"But can you wait to take this life? Please help me kill someone... and then I will personally present this head to you."
Hearing this, the shepherd boy glanced at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing then whispered about Wan Chunhua's experience...
Finally, the shepherd boy sighed:
"My martial arts skills are not as good as yours. If my guards were still around, it would be easy to kill you.
“But this time is different. They are not with me when I am away from home. The fact that they were able to chase you this far is because you showed mercy many times.
"Okay, I believe you will keep your word and be a real man.
"I will wait for the day when you fulfill your promise."
Wan Chunhua heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, knowing that this matter could go so smoothly thanks to the friendship between Chu Qing and the shepherd boy.
Chu Qing ignored their agreement and just silently looked at the night outside and listened to the noises.
But this night was calmer than expected...
No one came to the village to search, and there were no other unusual phenomena.
Unexpectedly, dawn arrived in such a peaceful manner.
Meng Hui went out to get some water, but when he went out in the morning light, he suddenly stopped at the door and spoke softly:
"Master... Junior Brother... Junior Brother..."
Chu Qing was not familiar with this kind of address. It took him a while to realize that he was being called.
He immediately asked:
"what happened?"
“Heaven…Heaven…Heavenly Buddhist Temple!!”
Meng Hui pointed his finger into the air, his tone full of surprise and shock.
Chu Qing came out of the door, looked up at the sky, and immediately narrowed his eyes:
"It really is Tianfo Temple..."
At this time, everyone had come out of the room and saw a huge temple floating in the air. Under the backdrop of the morning light, it was shining with golden light and looked solemn and dignified.
However, the Buddhist temple on this day did not appear stable, but was hanging upside down.
Wan Chunhua couldn't help but gasp:
“This… this Tianfo Temple is actually in the sky!!!
"Could it be that those monks really became Buddhas?
"But why is it upside down?"
With a plop, after Wan Chunhua finished speaking, Meng Hui suddenly knelt down.
The shepherd boy's knees felt weak and he was about to kneel down.
But Wu Qianhuan grabbed it:
“Don’t believe it…”
"No, I can't control it."
The shepherd boy gritted his teeth and said:
"There's something strange about this temple. When I see it, I want to worship it."
Chu Qing flew out two fingers and landed on Meng Hui and Mu Tong'er. The two took a deep breath again. Mu Tong'er finally stood firm. Meng Hui also got up from the ground with a start:
"Evil, too evil.
“I’ve been here for so long, and this is the first time I’ve seen the Heavenly Buddha Temple… It’s actually in the sky?
"how is this possible?"
"Did you hear that sound?"
Wu Qianhuan then asked.
Except for Chu Qing, the others were all stunned. They listened carefully and indeed heard it. Although the sound was very light and somewhat ethereal, it was continuous and the sound was getting louder and louder.
What I mean is... Buddha is merciful and saves all living beings!
The sound of uniform footsteps was also heard at this time. With a creak, the door of Meng Hui's yard was pushed open, and the first to be hit were Meng Hui's friends.
Cuihua, Damao and Ermao.
Their faces were filled with piety, and they kept chanting:
"Our Buddha is merciful and saves all living beings."
"Our Buddha is merciful and saves all living beings."
"My Buddha is compassionate..."
Crowds of people came in one after another, and in a blink of an eye, the small courtyard was filled.
They crowded towards Chu Qing and the others, shouting:
"My Buddha is compassionate and saves all sentient beings!"
"How to do?"
Wu Qianhuan couldn't help but glance at Chu Qing.
Wan Chunhua drew out his shark-slaying knife:
"What else can we do? These guys have been bewitched and we can't care about so much anymore. Let's kill them!!"
Chu Qing put his hand on his wrist and shook his head gently:
"It's just a trivial trick. There's no need to kill anyone."
After saying this, he raised his eyes to look at the Tianfo Temple hanging upside down in the air, and spoke slowly:
"You are pretending to be a ghost, and you are not afraid of being laughed at!"
