Chapter 183 - Hell is Right in Front, After You!
Dongyu City, Red Leaf Forest.
Whoosh!
There was a screech in the air, and a cauldron fell into the depths of the Red Leaf Forest.
The lid of the cauldron opened up, and a handsome young man climbed out from within.
“Cough! Damn that Moji! She made me lose another 10,000!”
That young man was Jiang Feng, who had escaped from Moji’s grasp after teasing her.
Every time he used the Teleportation Cauldron, he needed to spend 10,000 gp. He could still feel the hurt from it.
He put away the Teleportation Cauldron, then looked at the forest around him that was covered in red leaves. He then began to think about what had just happened, ‘Why would Moji appear at a cliff so close to a Starter Village? Does she need to personally make a move to corrupt the Central Provinces? Or is there a treasure close to the Starter Village?’
“Then I too am part of the living, why will you not save me?”
“It is not worth it to sacrifice everyone just to save you!”
“A mere equivocation!”
“Sanzang, for Buddh-”
Tang Sanzang stood up and without waiting for Abbot Liaochan to finish his sentence, said to him, “Who is the Buddha?”
“Do not tell me that all that are living are the Buddha!”
“The Buddha is but an excuse to conceal your own hypocrisy!”
His words had angered the abbot, and he said in anger, “The Buddha said ‘if I do not enter Hell, who will?’ You are the Buddha, you…”
Tang Sanzang once again cut short what the Abbot wanted to say and said to him with a smile as he pointed to the sky, “Since you have so much love for all things, Hell is right in front, after you!”
“You…” Abbot Liaochan was so angered that he had no words left to say.
Xiao Longnu and the other monks could not understand much of what they just heard.
In truth, this was but the simplest Buddhism debate. Or not.
The main debate was that Abbot Liaochan wanted to give Tang Sanzang to the infernals, sacrificing him to save all the monks staying in Jinshan Temple.
There was no love involved in this at all, and he was even forcing him to do it.
He could not take all of this, and that was why he engaged the Abbot in a debate.
“Kill them!” Yao Qiong yelled out in fury toward the Jinshan Temple as she stood in the dark clouds.
The sky was darkened and the earth painted. Wherever the Infernal Soldiers and Infernal Generals went, the monks of Jinshan Temple would fall. Blood began to flow like a river.
***
And when Jiang Feng had arrived, he saw that the Infernals were fighting with the monks of Jinshan Temple.
“Hm? Why did the Infernals attack Jinshan Temple?”
Despite him being filled with questions, Jiang Feng had hidden himself and avoided the sight of the Infernal Soldiers and infiltrated the Jinshan Temple.
“Roar!”
He saw a bloodied White Dragon fighting with three Infernal Generals within the temple. Tang Sanzang was sitting on the ground in a lotus position and chanting the Diamond Sutra. A golden barrier appeared around him, blocking the Infernal Soldiers’ attacks.
Yao Qiong appeared not far from Jiang Feng. She then attacked the golden barrier that protected Tang Sanzang with her pair of chakrams. In the meantime, she yelled at the Infernal Generals that were fighting with Xiao Longnu in the air, “Kill that dragon quickly and capture Tang Sanzang!”
“It’s her again! Why does she want Tang Sanzang?” Jiang Feng thought to himself with a frown when he saw Yao Qiong.
He stopped thinking about it when he knew that he would not be able to reach an answer, but he knew that he could not let Yao Qiong take Tang Sanzang away!
He unequipped his ID card and transformed into a Fire Qilin. Before his Hide skill expired, he came close to Yao Qiong quietly.
“Tornado!”
He roared, and a giant tornado appeared where Yao Qiong was at. It swirled her and the group of Infernal Soldiers next to Tang Sanzang.
Next, he took a ride on the Monster Cloud and came close to the Tornado. He then slapped Yao Qiong a few times with his claws, causing about 10,000 plus worth of damage, killing her. He then caught Tang Sanzang and came next to Xiao Longnu.
“Roar! Dragon Howl!”
He used another crowd-control skill, stopping those few Infernal Generals. He then took out the Qiankun Gourd and placed Xiao Longnu and Tang Sanzang within it.
He then took out the Teleportation Cauldron and jumped into it. He escaped using the cauldron once again.
Since there were so many Infernal Generals and Infernal Soldiers here, he was completely outmatched. He had to first avoid a confrontation with them, and understand why the Infernals wanted to capture Tang Sanzang.
