There was, it must be said, a sense of dramatic irony in the fact that Kung Ying had died, at the hands of Shi Jue, who saw him as a life-saver.
At least, Kong Hai, the dominant player in the drama, was shocked by Shi Jue’s sudden move.
“You… you actually killed him?” Empty Sea’s fingers trembled as he pointed at Shi Jue, who was still lowering his brows and hanging his head.
The death of one Kung Ying did not shock Kong Hai. What shocked him was the decision that Shi Jue had made.
By killing Gong Ying, Shi Jue had proved that he had really made a decision, a decision to disregard the lives of thousands of people in Qian Gong Fort.
“Are you… are you still a Buddhist?”
A thousand people, ah, not a thousand chickens and ducks. The karmic debt of these thousand people, but any hint of guilt in their hearts, could later fester and cause Shi Jue, a Buddhist, to go off the rails and die.
However, it seemed that Shi Jue had really treated these thousand people like chickens and ducks, and he said indifferently, “You’re joking, Brother Kong Hai. When it comes to karmic debts, Brother Kong Hai is no less than a poor monk, but only more.
If even such an instigator as Brother Kong Hai can be at peace with himself, what guilt is there for the poor monk to feel? I am only sending Master Gong to be relieved.”
The very justifiable words made Empty Sea a little speechless.
However, this did not cover up the fact that Shi Jue had killed Gong Ying himself, and at least, Gong Qing would not be grateful to Shi Jue for freeing him.
“How dare you kill my big brother!!!”
Gong Qing, who was also on his knees, rose up from the ground, his face like an evil ghost, with a look of hatred, and pushed his palms flat against the small of Shi Jue’s back.
“Boom…”
The palms struck Shi Jue’s belly solidly.
However, they did not cause any damage to him. Even Qing Yu had to shake his mind before he could break the “Heart Zen Immortality Technique”, let alone Gong Qing.
Shi Jue shook his head gently and sighed faintly, “Master Shi, why bother?”
The right palm that had killed Kung Ying fell gently again, lightly, taking away Kung Qing’s life.
Blithely, he killed two people in a row, but without any fluctuation.
Empty Sea’s questioning was justified; it was hard to believe that such a monk was from the Buddhist sect.
“Xiaoyana Buddha Dao.” The dry sound caused the crowd to look towards Yuan Zhen in unison.
“I didn’t expect that there would still be people practising the Hinayana Buddhist Dao now.” Yuan Zhen’s cloudy old eyes carried a look of disbelief.
‘Hinayana Buddha Dao.’ Qing Yu murmured the word in his heart.
The Buddhist sect used a horse-drawn carriage as a metaphor for a tool to degree sentient beings. The so-called Xiaoyana, in layman’s terms, was a single horse-drawn carriage that could only carry its owner beyond the sea of suffering and to the other shore.
The Mahayana, on the other hand, is, as the name suggests, the opposite of the Hinayana, and is a vehicle for the universalisation of all sentient beings, bringing them to the other side of the world.
When comparing the two, there is no doubt that the Mahayana Buddhist path is more popular among the world. It was through this Mahayana Buddhism that Buddhism became the most popular religion of the time.
After all, as long as they were more selfish than the Hinayana Buddhism, they would prefer to believe in the Mahayana Buddhism, which would lead them to the other side without having to do anything.
So over time, the Hinayana Buddhism was abandoned by the Buddhists and became a record in history.
“As the poor monk has said before, if you can’t even help yourself, how can you help others,” said Shi Jue, “the Mahayana Buddhism helps all beings, yet they are still in the sea of suffering.”
“At the age of seven, I was already able to talk about Buddhism with my uncles and mentors in the temple. However, after that, the poor monk could not see the way ahead. After eight years of wasting time, I finally realised that the so-called universalisation of all sentient beings in Mahayana Buddhism is nothing but a delusion. If you cannot even help yourself, how can you be qualified to help others?”
“Since then, I began to study the Hinayana Buddhist path and resolved to cultivate myself to become a Buddha. This is how I came to be known as the ‘Little Buddha’ today.”
In a few words, the crowd understood how the ‘Little Buddha’ of the Great Zen Temple began to study the Hinayana Buddhism.
In fact, the difference between the so-called Mahayana and Hinayana for a Buddhist who practises martial arts in this world is really not much. It would be a complete joke for this practitioner of martial arts to wait for others to come and teach him. The reason why Buddhism has become a widespread faith in the Central Plains is not the Buddhist teachings that coax people into believing, but the powerful force.
However, force is force, but if the compa*sion of Buddhism is really left behind, high monks can also become devils. After all, the world would prefer the so-called senior monk to be a great virtuous man of compa*sion, not a selfish man who only cares about cultivating himself into a Buddha.
At least, if word of what Shi Jue just did got out, the name of ‘Little Buddha’ would probably be ruined.
“Hehehehe ——”
A dry laugh that could not conceal the excitement it contained, Yuan Zhen’s withered old face smiled with a pile of wrinkles, “I am now glad that you are the most outstanding disciple of the Great Zen Temple. In the future, if you are allowed to become the ruler of the Zen Sect, then my Tantric Sect, will win without a fight.”
With these words, Yuan Zhen suddenly grabbed Khong Hai by the shoulders and was about to use his lightness to leave.
However, just as the two of them leapt up, they were struck down by a man in the air.
“Two, is it a bit of a sight for sore eyes, trying to run away.”
With the speed of lightning, he created countless illusions in the air, and with his “Six Illusions of the Phoenix Dance”, Qing Yu came after them and blocked Yuan Zhen’s path.
The sword could not hurt Yuan Zhen, who was as strong as a vajra, but it sent him back to the ground to face the attack of Shi Jue, who was right behind him.
With nine steps, he was already behind Yuan Zhen, and his “Mustard Seed Sumeru Palm”, which incorporates the Sumeru in the Mustard Seed, was launched with such a powerful force that even Yuan Zhen, who has the Tantric Body Refining Technique of “Vajra Invincible”, had to face it with caution.
“Boom…”
The golden arm swung back and collided with the “Mustard Seed Sumeru Palm”. At this moment, Yuan Zhen was still using a technique similar to the “Kurenai Zen” to collect his vital energy, but his peak Shen Yuan power was not complete, so he was unable to fight against Shi Jue’s “Mustard Seed Sumeru Palm” and was knocked away.
“Mahalu Sara (Great Wrath).”
Empty Sea formed a seal with both hands and chanted the true words, and struck at Shi Jue with a “Seal of the Immovable King”.
“Friend of the Buddha, the difference between you and the poor monk is a bit great.” Shi Jue’s left hand, which was palmed in front of his chest, brushed up the hem of his sleeve and lightly turned the “Fudao Mingwang Seal”, which carried the fire of wrath, into nothing.
“Although you have advanced to the Divine Origin, your previous accumulation is not as good as that of a poor monk. The fact that you have not settled in the Innate Realm, but have made a hasty breakthrough, makes your strength now not much different from that of an ordinary Godhead.”
As he spoke, Shi Jue’s hand did not stop, and he printed a palm on the arm that was blocked by Empty Sea.
Although this palm was blocked by Kong Hai, the price paid was a bone-cracking sound from both arms, and judging from his condition, he was not far from breaking a bone.
