”Kill the Heavenly Devil Cult Master and take revenge for our senior brothers!”
Everyone's emotions were stirred up at the same time, and they came swarming over at Qin Mu like bees. He frowned slightly, and his body trembled. Thousand Armed Buddha burst forth, and the buddha rays shone brilliantly with incomparably resounding buddha voice lingering around Heavenly Dragons Cloister.
Qin Mu was like an unmovable buddha withstanding attacks from all directions. With exploding bangs that rang out continuously, the monks flew off in all directions. They smashed into the dragon pillars, and some of them split into three-five pieces on the spot.
Qin Mu shook his body, and the thousand arms that were both in front and behind him vanished. The buddha rays also vanished.
He swept his gaze over the monks that were lying everywhere and brushed his sleeves. ”This is the Thunderclap Eight Strikes of your Great Thunderclap Monastery, is this technique of the devil path too? Technique is only righteous when used righteously, when used for evil, even Thunderclap Eight Strikes or Rulai's Mahayana Sutra will become of the devil!”
Old Ma coughed and looked towards the flabbergasted Old Monk Jing Ming beside him. ”Senior brother, your Heavenly Dragon Cloister is getting a little messy. I think we should go take a stroll through Heart Meditation Cloister.”
Old Monk Jing Ming looked at Qin Mu resentfully. Most of the monks that Qin Mu had beaten and killed were his disciples. However, since Old Ma and Blind was beside him, he didn't dare to make a move recklessly.
He was especially worried about the blind man beside him. Even though that man's eye sockets were empty, he could feel a murderous intent that circled his throat whenever he wanted to make a move.
If he really dared to make a move, he was certain that the bamboo cane of this blind man would pierce his throat the next instant.
His Rulai's Mahayana Sutra had a flaw which left a weak spot at his throat, and no matter how he changed it, it didn't get fixed.
The other old monks of Heavenly Dragon Cloister also didn't dare to make a move. While standing beside Old Ma and Blind, they felt like there were two Mount Merus pressing down on them. If they made a move, their bodies would be smashed into pieces!
Cold sweat broke out on Monk Jing Ming's forehead, and he said, ”Junior brother, your disciple killed my monks of Heavenly Dragon Cloister and even destroyed some Hundred Dragons Portraits…”
Old Ma remained silent.
Blind said calmly as he propped himself on his bamboo cane, ”Senior Brother Jing Ming, Heavenly Dragon Cloister being destroyed is your own fault. If you didn't point out that Mu'er was the devil cult master, this wouldn't have happened. Don't blow things up, once it happens, the mess won't be so easy to clean up.”
A droplet of cold sweat rolled down Monk Jing Ming's forehead as he coughed. His voice was like a loud bell when he said, ”Cult Master Qin is a guest from afar, do not be impudent, fall back.”
Once he had said that, the monks over by the reliefs seemed relieved and immediately helped their companions that were laying on the ground.
Old Ma said, ”Mu'er, come back.”
Blind beamed at the youth. ”You fought, destroyed, and also lectured. We are guests, so it's not good to be too impudent. Old Ma said we should take a stroll around Heart Meditation Cloister. Won't you come along?”
Qin Mu acknowledged their words and bowed to Monk Ming Xin. ”Little monk, if you can't stay in Great Thunderclap Monastery any longer, come find me in Heavenly Saint Cult.”
Monk Ming Xin was bewildered. ”How can I not stay here any longer? My master treats me very well, and these senior and junior brother take good care of me as well. I won't turn bad. You too, don't be the devil cult master anymore. Won't it be better to abandon evil and turn good? Buddhism says that the sea of bitterness has no bounds, repent and the shore will be at hand…”
Qin Mu shook his head and said firmly, ”You are a true monk. Sometimes, true monks are not tolerated in the monastery of fake monks. When the monastery can't tolerate you anymore, you will have to go find your tathata, your perfect awakening.
”Read less buddhist scriptures, most of those that write them have never been Rulai, and if they can't become buddha, how can they guide you down that path? Destroy the buddha and Great Thunderclap Monastery in your heart, and you will become your own buddha, the world will become your Great Thunderclap Monastery, and all living things will become your Dao friends, your senior brothers.” He stretched his finger out and touched Monk Ming Xin on his heart with a smile. ”Here, lies a real buddha.”
He then touched Monk Ming Xin at the heart of his brows. ”Here lies a fake buddha. Don't let your belief become your devil, your restraints, and the obstruction to your perception. What you should do is lift your head to face the world and have a clear conscience.
”Place a scale in your heart and let it become your principle when weighing good and bad, right and wrong, righteous and evil, buddha and devil. Walk outside more to see what people do and not what the buddhist scriptures say. It's impossible to become buddha by only staying in the monastery and thinking about good and evil.”
Monk Ming Xin's mind was blown, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
Qin Mu turned around to walk to Old Ma. On his way, he greeted Monk Jing Ming. ”Sorry great masters for disturbing your peace.”
Monk Jing Ming returned his greeting and said, ”Devil cult master is courteous. Their cultivations aren't there, and cult master's devil nature is too great. You're good at bewitching people's hearts and ruthless in your attacks, a natural old devil.”
Qin Mu shook his head. ”The cultivation of my mind is still shallow. If people want to kill me, I can only retaliate. The state of mind of you great masters is profound. If people wanted to kill you, would you retaliate?” When he finished saying this, his gaze turned unfriendly and Junior Protector Sword came whooshing out of its sheath.
The gaze of Old Monk Jing Ming and the rest landed on the shining sword blade, and they shook their heads slowly.
Qin Mu returned the treasured sword back into its sheath and let out a pent up breath before smiling. ”I thought that you eminent monks that have achieved Dao had achieved the state of not being afraid of life and death, not afraid of honor and disgrace. But you are still the same as me, an ordinary human that has a devil nature. Farewell. Grandpa Ma, Grandpa Blind, what kind of place is Heart Meditation Cloister?”
Old Ma brought them away while saying, ”Heart Meditation Cloister is where Great Thunderclap Monastery's monks cultivate their hearts. The cultivation in that place is different from here. For cultivation, monks will first cultivate their hearts. There are many monks there who cultivate unspoken meditation.”
