Chapter 250: Words Kill
Translator: NinetalesEditor: DarkGem
When Qin Mu saw a familiar person, he couldn't help feeling affable. Since he was young, he had always mingled around with Blind and Cripple. From the moment he could remember things, he was always learning all kinds of knowledge from the nine elders of Disabled Elderly Village. It could be said that he didn't have any playmates during his childhood days, which made them dull and dry.
Even though he had only fought one match with Mong Ming Xin, they were of the same age, so it was natural to feel affable upon meeting him again.
Monk Ming Xin recited one of the many names of Buddha to suppress his own angry thoughts and smiled. ”You defeated me back then but you might not defeat me today. After losing to you, I had pondered about the painful experience and fixed my weakness. Why don't do have another battle?”
”You changed the sutra?” Qin Mu asked in astonishment.
Pleased, Monk Ming said, ”I was defeated when you struck my throat the previous time, so I will definitely not let you have your way this time!”
Qin Mu cried out, ”Monk Ming Xin, how old are you, how could you change Rulai's Mahayana Sutra as you like? With your current horizons and knowledge, the more you change it, the more mistakes and flaws would take shape! Rather than carelessly changing it, wouldn't it have been better to ask Rulai and let Rulai teach you… Uhm, I also carelessly changed my technique and to the point it's beyond recognition, so I can't really say anything to you.”
Qin Mu blushed with shame. He had also changed his technique, and Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique had been changed more than once. Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures was even fused with his it, solving the flaw on the left shoulder.
Him saying something to Monk Ming Xin about carelessly changing his technique was like the pot calling the kettle black. Maybe the other had indeed erased the flaw on his throat.
Monk Ming Xin began to stir and said, ”In that case, could you condescend to teach?”
Qin Mu was about to say something when an old monk said, ”Disciple, don't be impudent, this is Cult Master Qin of Heavenly Devil Cult!”
Monk Ming Xin jumped in shock and cried out, ”When have you become the old devil of Heavenly Devil Cult?”
Qin Mu sighed. ”This is hard to explain. I didn't want to do it, but got pushed onto the seat of the cult master without the choice to refuse.”
He looked toward the old monk and recognized him as Old Monk Jing Ming. This old monk was Ming Xin's master, and his personality was very much like his name, very shrewd. He had pointed out that Qin Mu was the devil cult master of Heavenly Devil Cult not to notify Ming Xin, but to tell all the monks that were present.
With the shout in his loud voice, all the monks that were studying Hundred Dragons Portraits looked towards Qin Mu and recited the many names of Buddha under their breath. It was evident that they all couldn't restrain themselves and suppress their thoughts of wanting to subdue the devil.
Monk Ming Xin immediately said, ”In that case, you should quickly withdraw and not be the devil cult master anymore, since you're going to die! There are many eminent monks who hate evil with a passion and are used to killing devils. Every time they go out, they subdue a few devils to accumulate merit, and you will be killed! I shan't compete with you, you should quickly flee down the mountain.”
Qin Mu shook his head. ”Thank for your kind intentions, but I'm now a guest. Old Rulai is my senior brother and he said I should be allowed to say in the monastery. In this case, would they still subdue the devil?”
Ming Xin hesitated for a moment, then said, ”This, I can't say for sure. They will most likely debate with you, advising you to turn over a new leaf. If they can't talk you into it, they will most like beat you to death.”
Qin Mu was speechless. He indeed saw a few monks walking over to him.
”Amitabha!” A monk placed his palms together and raised a difficult question first, ”Devil, do you dare to debate with me?”
Qin Mu asked, ”Have you been completely indifferent to worldly temptations?”
That monk was slightly shaken. ”Not yet.”
”Then what's the debate for?” Qin Mu broke out into laughter. ”You haven't even achieved your Dao. A half-baked, fake monk like you has only the ability to flaunt misunderstandings from gossip. Fall back.”
That monk was tongue-tied and another monk beside him immediately said, ”Devil, I shall talk to you about truth, compassion, and beauty—”
Qin Mu asked, ”Are you Rulai?”
That monk's complexion turned beet red, and he replied, ”I'm still not Rulai…”
”Then you haven't achieved the word 'truth'.” Qin Mu smiled. ”Rulai is the true state of things, receiving and achieving the word 'truth'. If you aren't the truth yourself, how can you want to talk about truth, compassion, and beauty? Fall back, don't embarrass yourself, we will talk when you achieved that height. Don't take what you can't do and force it on me. If you want people to do as you say, you have to set an example.”
The monk was left speechless, and another one stretched out his hand out. Golden springs poured out from the earth, and a lotus bloomed. ”Buddhism has anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, the highest perfect awakening, the supreme perfect wisdom…”
Qin Mu asked, ”Have you achieved supreme perfect wisdom?”
”Fall back.”
Another monk laughed loudly. ”Devil cult master is an eloquent and fluent speaker. Since you won't respond if I talk to you about scriptures, I shall talk to you about the secular world.”
Excited, Qin Mu came over to that monk and said, ”Great Monk, don't speak first. Let me ask you, if everyone converted to Buddhism, didn't reproduce, didn't marry, had no children, wouldn't the human race be extinct a hundred years later? What grudge do the humans have with you? Why do you want to eradicate the human race?”
