Chapter 766: Feeling like facing a formidable enemy
Chapter 766: Feeling like facing a formidable enemy
Seeing the monk approaching, the female college student panicked and stepped back subconsciously because her Liberty City University student ID card was no longer safe.
"I can't die. I haven't submitted my paper on how to use nano-units in the body to reduce telomere wear in the gene body. This technology can extend human lifespan to 200 years and greatly slow down the aging process. A 150-year-old will have the same human functions as a 30-year-old..."
The girl tried hard to prove that she had a reason to live. She kept on talking: "Do you understand what this technology means to all living beings? Everyone can live at least 100 years longer. Those with unique talents can contribute to the world for more than 100 years."
"You are defying birth, aging, sickness and death, destroying the cycle of reincarnation, and committing an evil act against heaven, yet you are not ashamed of it, but instead you are proud of it!"
The monk was furious when he heard this, and he hated her even more: "You are hopeless. I will burn your so-called evil Jiejiao skills into nothingness along with your evil soul in the hellfire!"
"No, no! People can live to 200 years old. It is only due to the environment, diet and medical conditions that life is shortened by diseases and the ingestion of toxic substances that cause telomere wear."
The university student princess was obviously still a little bookish and hadn't figured out the situation yet. She still explained seriously: "The average life expectancy of our Xiniu Hezhou people is only 30 years old, but the average life expectancy of the Free City people is 79 years old, which proves this point from the side."
"You are misleading people with your lies and nonsense. I, Hezhou of Xiniu, have been widely blessed by the Buddha's teachings. How can the life span of mortals be shorter than that of the evil people of the Jiejiao who are 'greedy, lustful, happy to cause trouble, and often kill and fight'?"
The monk was filled with shame and anger upon hearing this, his fists clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds, as if he was going to pounce on the girl and tear her into pieces the next moment.
"If we include the demon residents of Liberty City, the average life expectancy can reach 327 years. Numbers don't lie. These data are obtained through scientific statistics."
Princess Meiduo argued confidently: "Do you dare to swear in front of the Buddha that the people on the grassland will live a hundred years? True is true, false is false. If material needs are not met, no matter how many spiritual teachings the Buddha gives, it is just a placebo effect and cannot save lives."
"Shut up, shut up!"
The monk was speechless and in anger he became mad. He took a step forward and was about to hit the opponent with his fist.
A martial monk of his level of accomplishment can deliver a punch with a force of tens of thousands of pounds. Normal people from our country would vomit blood if they were hit by one of his punches, let alone a mortal with fragile flesh and blood like a college student.
However, the scene of the girl exploding like a rag bag and blood and flesh flying everywhere did not appear. Instead, the punch was blocked by an invisible force field barrier within one meter away from the girl.
The monk endured a huge recoil force and stepped back dozens of steps before he could steady himself. He said in surprise, "Acalanatha? How can a Jiejiao evildoer like you use Buddhist magic?"
A golden bell shadow covered the girl, and the monk's fierce punch was bounced away by this shadow barrier.
The monk was well versed in Buddhism and could tell at a glance that the barrier was the Buddhist magical power, Acalanatha Mantra.
Once this spell is cast, no magical power or weapon below the immortal level can break it.
The girl thought of something and quickly reached for her neck. She followed the necklace chain around her neck and took out a small jade statue hanging in her arms.
The jade statue was exquisitely crafted, carved from a piece of white jade. It was a lifelike statue of the Emperor Jie Tian.
The white jade statue radiates golden light, and the faith and will condensed in it are slowly released. It is this jade statue that automatically triggers the Acalanatha mantra, which provides a life-saving shield in times of crisis.
"This is the prize I won for winning first prize in the Demon Alliance Physics Competition!"
The girl said in surprise: "It turns out to be a magic weapon with inherent supernatural powers, but why is the Acalanatha mantra used?" Wen Rui, who was hiding in the bushes and peeping, blushed. The reason was simple, because he, the Emperor Jie Tian, was too shallow in Taoism, and all his supernatural powers were plagiarized from others, and he had not developed any original supernatural powers.
The magic weapons that he had blessed were the culmination of plagiarism from the three realms. He would simply take what was best from any school and copy it.
The Acalanatha mantra is very useful, and the technology for engraving the mantra is also ready-made, so you can just plagiarize it directly from the Demon-Protecting Sword.
The most interesting thing is that what is consumed in releasing the Buddhist mantra is not immortal power, but the power of incense and vows, the power of merit and virtue, and spiritual power.
What Wen Rui's meritorious divine body lacks most is immortal power, and what it lacks least is the latter three energies. Therefore, most of the fashionable and exquisite small garbage magic weapons made by him personally are engraved with Buddhist mantras.
Every year, the first place prizes for various academic competitions held by the Demon Alliance have certain commemorative significance, so Wen Rui always takes some time to make them by hand to encourage students who excel in the field of science.
During the activation phase of the Acalanatha Mantra, no cultivator below the Immortal rank, even those at the Mahayana stage or the Half-Step Arhat, will be able to break through it.
The monk gnashed his teeth and rushed forward again unwillingly, punching the golden bell several times, but it did not shake the bell at all, and instead made his hands tremble.
"Don't be so arrogant, you are in the holy land of Buddhism. Even if you use magic to keep peace for a while, don't even think about escaping!"
The monk shouted loudly, his voice like a bell: "Namo Horse-Headed Avalokitesvara! When demons invade, the monks always protect the Dharma and subdue them!"
This shout was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The entire Zen temple suddenly responded with the sound of footsteps and breaking through the air. Countless figures came from all directions, using their magical powers to rush over.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of martial monks appeared in the courtyard, including an old monk wearing an embroidered robe, with white hair and beard, and looking quite old.
The old monk had a reserved look and his status seemed high from his clothes, but his aura was the weakest among all the monks. It seemed that he had merged with the environment and his presence was greatly reduced.
"Guanghui, why did you issue the alarm?"
The old monk looked around, but only saw a few frightened noble women. He did not detect any demonic energy even after emitting his mental power, so he could not help but ask this question.
"Master An Tuoyan, look at that demon girl. She is a spy from the Jiejiao sect. She sneaked into the temple with evil intentions. She has a demon weapon on her body to protect her. I can't catch her for the time being, and I am afraid that she will leak information and attract the demon alliance to come to help. That's why I took the initiative to use the Wrathful Vajra King Mantra to warn her."
The monk pointed at the female student who was chanting the Acalanatha mantra and seriously complained to the old monk.
"You shameless Jiejiao, how dare you steal my righteous Dharma, and even deceived my Dharma Eyes!"
The old monk nodded suddenly in realization. He had also seen the girl chanting the Acalanatha mantra, but he did not regard the girl as a demon, because the fake Acalanatha mantra was so authentic that it was difficult to distinguish the real one from the fake one. It was genuine and more refined and skillful than those performed by many senior monks in the temple.
"Guanghui, you did a good job. The Jiejiao demons are more difficult to deal with than the Mosquito. The temple is at a critical moment in preparing for the Buddha's manifestation ceremony. We must not let those demons get the opportunity to disrupt the overall situation under any pretext!"
The old monk narrowed his eyes, which were full of cruelty. He looked at the girl as if she were an indescribable monster, and scolded her coldly: "Witch girl, do you think that this stolen Acalanatha mantra can protect you? Can you hold out until the Jiejiao demons come to help? I will break your fake mantra right now!"
