Chapter 184 - Who am I? (2/2)
Hearing the words, Xiao Hong no longer talked. With no injuries on his hands, the flames on him were flourishing.
“Why have you acquired the Buddhist Light Illuminating?” Manjusri opened his eyes and looked at Hao Ning. “How can you use the Buddhist practice!”
“Bah!” Hao Ning took a sip. “Don’t you be shameful? You should call the Devil Sanskrit as Buddhist Light Illuminating. I have seen the whitewasher, but I have never seen anyone whitewash itself in such a shameless way!”
After saying, Hao Ning approached several steps, and the sound of “lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha” passing to the Manjusri was louder. In a short time, the lotus behind the Manjusri gradually withered.
“Oh, is it the Five Exhaustions of Heavenly Man?” Hao Ning picked up a term from the few Buddhist vocabularies that he knew, and he sneered: “Bodhisattva, you haven’t had enough incense yet. Why are you going to die so hurriedly?”
“Hey!” The Pixiu under the foot of the Manjusri suddenly opened the mouth and bit a bite. The Manjusri reached out a finger and pointed. A golden chain tied the Pixiu tightly. The chain seemed to be able to move, and it immediately threw the Pixiu away.
“Young friend,” the Manjusri looked a little angry but still peaceful. “You are so disrespectful to Bodhisattva, and I have to subdue you with the great power, making you cultivate under my lotus platform for thousands of years to remove your hostility…”
“You subdue me?” Hao Ning laughed, “Okay, let’s have a competition! Anyway, I will find out whether it’s you the Bodhisattva or me the Fighting Buddha that is more powerful!”
“Fighting Buddha?” Manjusri Bodhisattva immediately was shocked.
“Fighting Buddha!” Zhe and Ye shouted with an adoring expression.
“D**n it! He is Fighting Buddha! He said that he is Fighting Buddha? The Fighting Buddha is, obviously ‒ oh!” Zhou Yuan was going crazy, and when he did not finish his words, his mouth had been covered by Liu Shuai. Liu Shuai nervously gave Zhou Yuan a look, and then Zhou Yuan angrily turned off the voice box and scolded, “Shameless! I have seen some people impersonate others, but I have never seen someone impersonate in the face of the real one!”
When the Manjusri was shocked, Hao Ning reached out and pointed back. The five Yin and five Yang Soul Cutter flew to the two blue arms in the air. In the blink of an eye, the blue arms had turned into the crystal blue liquid, flying to the hands of Hao Ning.
“What is this!” The Manjusri changed his expression at this time.
“Have a guess?” Hao Ning smiled. “Don’t you know it? I will tell you. This thing is called Soul Coin Material!”
While he said that, Hao Ning’s hand shook once, and part of the Soul Coin Material was accidentally shaken out and sprinkled on the back of Hao Ning’s hand, then slowly infiltrating into the ring, and the rest part was held in the hands of Hao Ning.
“Oh!” Zhou Yuan saw the spilled Soul Coin Material and couldn’t help but swear. “This Hao Ning is surely a prodigal son!” He really wished that he could help Hao Ning catch the spilled Soul Coin Material, but when he saw the material immersed in the ring of Hao Ning, he thought that it was not wasted and then he stopped talking.
“Buddha is compassionate!” The Manjusri said nothing else, and the thousands of sounds in the sky suddenly turned into thousands of palms, falling down from the sky.
“This?” Liu Shuai looked at the palms on the sky and was so scared that he sat down on the ground. “Zhou Yuan, can you remember a kung fu skill with palms falling down from the sky?”
Zhou Yuan looked at the palms that fell down from the sky and collapsed like facing the end of the world. “Buddha’s Palm?”
“Young friends,” the Manjusri smiled and sighed, “don’t blame me.”
“I will not blame you,” Hao Ning smiled. “But don’t blame me!”
While his saying, a few blue ice pieces flew out from the hands of Hao Ning, hitting the body of Doctor Xue on the ground!
“What are you doing‒ Ah! How can this be!” Just as these ice pieces hit the body of Doctor Xue, the Manjusri screamed out, no longer holding the peaceful expression.
“What happened?” Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan also looked surprised. The things in Hao Ning’s hands hit on Doctor Xue’s body, but this Manjushri actually began to yell. Not only that, but even the numerous palms on the sky actually turned into nothingness for a moment, as if they had never appeared before.
The Manjusri Bodhisattva, at this time, even showed a ferocious face and kept trembling. Seeing this change, the Manjusri immediately made some gestures, “Wisdom Yin! Bright Yin! Bhaisajya Buddha Yin! Amoghasiddhi Yin!” Continually making several gestures, the Manjusri did not stop trembling but even trembled more heavily. The Manjusri was shocked at this time. “What kind of magic skill you used can actually hurt me the Manjusri Bodhisattva!”
“At this time, you still don’t admit that you are a fake one!” Hao Ning sneered, “Because you are used to cheating others, then even you do believe in yourself?”
“Impossible!” The Manjusri shouted. “I am Manjusri Bodhisattva, the teacher of the Seven Buddhas, worshiped by hundreds of millions of believers! My Buddhist Dharma is boundless! How can I be a fake one!”
“Hum,” Seeing the Manjusri did so, Hao Ning replied, “You haven’t sat on the lotus platform, and how can you have the Buddhist Dharma! If I were not reminded by my friend, I would have not known ‒ hey, my way of speaking has been affected by your classical words. Remember to speak the vernacular. If you don’t say the words used by the people, how can you take across the sentient beings!”
Hao Ning scratched his head and continued. “The Buddhist Light Illuminating you mentioned indeed is also a kind of kung fu skill, so it can be turned to you by my Stellar Transposition. I said I “says the Devil Sanskrit, is not the real Devil Sanskrit, but named the Devil Sanskrit”, and I meant that it’s not important how you call it. What’s important is that I have a way to give you a taste of your own medicine.”
“Impossible!” the Manjusri was already flustered and shivering. “I am Manjusri. If I am not the Manjusri, who am I?”
“Who are you? I don’t know,” Hao Ning looked at Doctor Xue, who was on the ground. “But I know that you must have a relationship with him!”
“He? How can he an evildoer be related to me?” The Manjusri shouted. “I am a Bodhisattva. How can I be with the evildoer! Do not try to hurt my belief relying on your strong magical power!”
“He really is related to you, but you don’t know it!” Zhou Yuan’s voice came out from the voice box again. “Hao Ning, you really have the way! Even can find out this!”
“Find out what?” Hao Ning had some doubts that he had not found out anything, but after all, he was concerned about face-saving, so he said aloud, “Zhou Yuan, you enjoy a lot of knowledge and the piercing eyes! Explain it!”
These words were enough to protect Zhou Yuan’s honor. The pair of piercing eyes were indeed the exclusive ability of Sun Wukong. To confuse the fake Manjusri, Hao Ning just claimed that he was the Fighting Buddha. He thought that Zhou Yuan the “Monkey Inside” must be unhappy, so he pointed out the point, telling Zhou Yuan that he admitted Zhou Yuan was Sun Wukong and he would not fight for this name with him. Sure enough, Zhou Yuan heard this sentence and felt rejoiced, no longer bearing grudges. Zhou Yuan said loudly: “Isn’t this simple? This Bodhisattva is indeed the Manjushri.” After that sentence, there was no voice!
“Um? D**n,” Hao Ning heard that sentence and his face turned green, “Zhou Yuan you counteract my efforts!” Not only Hao Ning’s face turned green, but also Xiao Hong’s face was green. Did this Zhou Yuan belong to which part? In the face of all the people, he admitted that this was the true Manjushri, and then what did the performance of everyone just now mean?
“Hey, don’t hurry. This voice box has problems in connection! Liu Shuai, hurry to help!” Zhou Yuan said quickly, then everyone heard the sound of two slaps on the microphone, “Hey, it is fine!”
“You are indeed the Manjushri’s ‒ a part,” Zhou Yuan continued. “But there must be a part of this Manjushri’s lining having been… Which word should I use? Confused? Parasitized? Occupied? In short, this is what I mean! If I don’t guess wrong, when you once were weak, someone used a way to implant a seed into your lining, so that you can still enjoy the worship of the believers, and over time, you also have Manjusri’s incense and breath. Your previous practice also showed the atmosphere of Buddhist Dharma. Otherwise, how could you deceive the Sudhana, and even deceive yourself? If it were not the emergency, you would have always thought that you are the Manjushri until ‒”
“Until the person needs you to help,” Hao Ning took the topic. With Zhou Yuan explaining this, Hao Ning also understood why Xiao Hong did not doubt at all. This was equal to the Manjusri’s version of the Trojan horse. No, it was more terrible than the Trojan horse. The people inside the Trojan horse still knew that they were spies and the enemies. While Manjusri had been seeded by someone, and over time, he really thought that he was the Manjusri!
“Impossible!” The Manjusri continued to tremble, “Impossible!”
“Impossible?” Hao Ning sneered. “Don’t you feel that your two acupoints Danzhong and Jiuwei are extremely itchy, and no Buddhist Dharma can solve?”
“What are the Danzhong and Jiuwei?” the Manjusri asked while trembling. “There are no such words in Buddhist vocabulary!”
“Oh, they are two points on the stomach,” Liu Shuai’s voice came out. “It can be seen that we should not tend to go overboard on only one subject. Don’t always learn the one. If you have time, you should look at some other books, such as biomedicine, classic Chinese medicine and so on…”
“Heresy!” Manjusri said, “How can it be stronger than our Buddhist Dharma!”
“I said you are fat, and you are even out of breath!” Hao Ning laughed with anger, “Do you still not believe? I tell you, the reason why you feel so itchy is not that you have been tricked by some magic skills, but ‒” Hao Ning pointed to the body of Doctor Xue on the ground, “that on Doctor Xue’s body I have put an incurable hidden weapon‒Life and Death Charms! And the ordinary Life and Death Charms use water, while I used the Soul Coin Material! Therefore, this itch will not only be in the body of Doctor Xue, but also in the person who has a relationship with him. You feel so itchy, and it can only prove one thing, you and this Doctor Xue are really the same!”
“Ah, ah‒it turned out to be the Life and Death Charms!” As Hao Ning’s voice just finished, Doctor Xue’s body immediately blasted, and a little blue man rolled on the ground. “You are so vicious, actually using the Life and Death Charms! Ouch, itchy! So painful! I can’t stand it!”
“Aren’t you dead?” The fake Manjusri could no longer control himself at this time, and he was scratching his whole body, “How are you still alive?”
“The Life and Death Charms made by this Soul Coin Material are so powerful…” Hao Ning looked down and thought. When he saw that while the blue on Xiao Hong’s hands was absorbed by the bamboo leaf, the body of Doctor Xue moved once, he had thought: There were the cause and effect between the blue and Doctor Xue, and if this blue was absorbed and Doctor Xue could still move, then this Doctor Xue would probably do not die yet?
If Doctor Xue was still not dead, the problem would be complicated!
The sword of Manjushri had really been inserted into Doctor Xue, and the blue on Doctor Xue’s body did not go up through the sword. If this Manjushri were true, it could also be interpreted that Manjushri’s Hui sword was so powerful. But according to the latter things, the Manjusri was also a fake one. A fake Manjushri could be free from being parasitized by the Parasitism Trick of Doctor Xue. There were only two possibilities. One was that Doctor Xue’s control of Parasitism Trick had been already very powerful and he could choose whether to attack others. Another possibility was that Doctor Xue and the Manjusri were just the same!
The first possibility could hardly happen, because if Doctor Xue’s control of Parasitism Trick had been very good, then Xiao Hong would not have been just like this. And the blue arms in the air had not moved for a long time, which also meant that Doctor Xue’s control over Parasitism Trick had not been so powerful. So, it was very likely that Doctor Xue and Manjusri were somehow the same.
Hao Ning just took the chance to have a try, and the Life and Death Charms did hit the Doctor Xue, while Manjushri also felt uncomfortable, which confirmed the idea of Hao Ning‒of course, he also had other methods. If this Manjushri had not been affected, he would use the rest of Life and Death Charms to hit the Manjusri, in order to protect themselves.
But Hao Ning had not thought that Zhou Yuan could even find out the ins and outs of this strange Manjusri, at which himself was not good.
“I will fight with you!” In a blink of an eye, the blue light man on the ground turned into a blue little sword and quickly came to Hao Ning. Who knew that when it had not been to Hao Ning, it was stopped by a golden lotus?
“Evildoer! How dare you hurt people!” Although Manjusri Bodhisattva felt the whole body itchy, he still screamed and asked with a serious voice, “What kind of demons are you? Why my Hui sword couldn’t kill you?”
“Um?” Hao Ning was hesitant at this time. This Bodhisattva still did not understand that he himself and Doctor Xue were a group, and he still consisted of stopping Doctor Xue from doing evil. Was he serious?
