Chapter 928 - Tonsure (2/2)

“Yeap.”

“Go and protect them. I’ll continue to finish the last three cuts for you.”

“Got it, master.”

In a blink of an eye, an unexpected thunder roared through the atmosphere. The army dared not enter carelessly. Once the ritual was done, Ye Cang crushed some wood with telekinesis and lit them up with flames. After extinguishing it, he etched it on Alyssa’s head. She did not frown at all as if she was willing to accept the blessing of the pain. She opened her eyes and expressed her gratitude, “Master, thank you.”

Ye Cang floated himself up with crossed legs (like Zenyatta in Overwatch). “Go ahead and protect them. After that, you can follow me to go on a pilgrimage for buddhist scripture.”

“A pilgrimage trip?”

“I’ve reincarnated into this world but I’ve lost most of my memories, especially on Buddhist scripture… Maybe this is the training given by Buddha which requires me to undergo some challenges…”

“Oh, the Buddhist scriptures are?”

“Those are the literatures and understandings about Buddha written by the higher ranking monks when they passed away… I would copy the Diamond Sutra for you once we get hold of it…”

“I understand, master.” Alyssa imitated Ye Cang’s actions, accumulated energy and started to defend her people.

“No one should cause unnecessary massacres. However, as for the people who committed sins, they must be punished. Reveal your anger and give them a warning…” Originally, Ye Cang wanted to just ask her to quickly finish them off but he did not want to ruin his image of being a master.

After Alyssa had left, Ye Cang sat on the ground. Phew. It’s over. He then opened the hologram version of the Diamond Sutra from the virtual screen. I still need to give her some key points later. “It’s so troublesome. I’ll just copy the entire thing for her.”

Outside of the battlefield, there were already chatters about it among the audience.

“Wow, this Acting Emperor is really good at acting… Luckily, Buddhism doesn’t exist in that world… He literally painted an utopia for that lady by merely relying on religious theories…” Brother Zhao exclaimed.

“I’m more concerned about the pilgrimage… that fella is obviously bullshitting. I bet he wants to use the Buddhist scripture as an excuse to trick the lady to protect him like Tang Sanzang in the Journey to the West,” Brother Zhong smiled bitterly.

“Actually, Buddhism is really deep…” Zuo Yiyi said in a serious manner.

“How dare you mention how great Buddhism is in front of a person who practices Taoism? Young lady, are you trying to pick a fight here?! The great four he mentioned earlier, the explanation in Buddhism is not as clear as ours in Taoism. The Great Four in Tao Te Ching refers to Dao, heaven, earth and men. In the Cosmos, there are The Great Four: They are the greatest of all – and Man (the King) is one of the four. But in Buddhism, the great four refers to earth, heaven, fire and wind. Even though the definitions of the terms are broad, Buddhism has always been a foreign religion. The action of knocking the wooden bell was even copied from us… This is obviously a tor! If there’s something called copyright back then, I would definitely engage a lawyer to sue them!” Brother Zhong’s words made Zuo Yiyi feel awkward, “Well, my bad…”

The members of the Purple Flower Garden stared at the ‘reborn’ Alyssa. Even though she had no hair, she still looked calm and kind. Controlling the elemental powers, she defeated the army and asked her men to lock them up. Swiftly, she flew back to Ye Cang and was amazed by seeing Ye Cang using telekinesis to copy the scripture. “How should their minds abide and how should they be subdued…”

Alyssa could not stop herself from reading the scripture and was totally immersed in it. Yet, Ye Cang’s stoppage made Alyssa anxious, “Master, this should be only half of it right? Where’s the second half?”
