Chapter 29 is mine now.
The group followed Jiang Feng in tracking down the murderer, traveling through more than a dozen prefectures and counties, and even turning back several times, which aroused a hint of suspicion in Cui Ying's heart.
"Is your tracking technique reliable? I feel like we're just wandering around like headless chickens."
Jiang Feng confidently stated, "This spell uses blood as a medium; once drawn by a single thread, escape is impossible. Even if he dies, I can find his corpse. I've even given it a nice name: 'The monk may run, but the temple cannot!'"
Cui Ying: "..."
This doesn't sound good either!
As they were talking, Jiang Feng suddenly slowed down and turned to the group, saying, "He's stopped."
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Jiang Feng asked, "Where did he bring us?"
Zhi Zao's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still said, "This is Linhai County. If we go any further, we will reach Tiantai Mountain."
Now Zhiming is becoming increasingly suspicious. After all, their master was spreading Buddhism in Jiangdu. Even if Zhiming encountered a powerful enemy and wanted to ask for help, he shouldn't have gone all the way back to Tiantai Mountain.
Jiang Feng continued following the silk thread and soon arrived at the front of a canyon.
Looking at the canyon before him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Cui Ying asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Feng said smugly, "I laugh at Zhiming for being so ignorant and the Mahayana sect for being so cunning! If they had sent men to ambush us on both sides of the canyon and unleash a hail of arrows when we passed by, even if we had the greatest skills, we would probably have perished here today."
As soon as he finished speaking, a whooshing sound rang out, and a barrage of arrows rained down on them like a torrential downpour!
Cui Ying's expression suddenly changed, and she threw a yellow talisman into the air. The talisman suddenly emitted a yellow light, enveloping everyone in an egg-shaped shield.
Yang Jian remained calm, took a step outside the shield, pointed with his right hand, and sent a flying sword flying towards one side of the canyon.
With a deafening roar, countless boulders tumbled down the mountain, and the entire canyon collapsed!
After a volley of arrows, no more arrows were fired.
With the canyon no longer providing cover, the densely packed monks on the mountain were revealed, making Zhizao's face turn ashen.
"Most of these people are monks from our Tiantai Mountain..."
Jiang Feng said speechlessly, "What monks from Tiantai Mountain? These bandits are clearly the Demon-Suppressing Army of the Mahayana Sect!"
Zhi Zao struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, they are the demon-suppressing army impersonating monks from Tiantai Mountain!"
If he can't bring himself to make the decision to cut ties, the entire Tiantai sect will likely suffer after today.
Fortunately, he was here today; any other senior brother wouldn't have been able to bring himself to do it...
At this moment, the group of monks on the mountain suddenly parted to make way for them.
Zhiming, wearing a five-Buddha crown and a magnificent red robe with gold thread, stepped out from among the monks.
The moment Zhizhao saw him, disappointment and confusion crossed his face: "Senior Brother Zhiming, it really is you! Haven't Master and we treated you well? Why did you join the Mahayana Sect!"
Zhiming's expression was cold: "Why? You were born into an official family, but you became a monk purely because you like Buddhism."
I was born into poverty, and my entire family, except for myself, starved to death. My only way to survive was to become a monk!
"Even if I entered Tiantai Mountain and followed my master to learn Buddhism, I, a lowly commoner who cannot read a single word, cannot match the progress of your fellow disciples who are from noble families."
I watched helplessly as your cultivation levels rose day by day, leaving me behind step by step, and you were revered by the world, while no matter how hard I tried, I could only remain an unknown foil to you!
"We are both disciples of the same master, but because of our backgrounds, you have become high and mighty Dharma Masters, while I have to follow you around and do odd jobs all the time."
I refuse to accept this!
I don't want to be a servant, I want to be a Buddha! This Tiantai Mountain is the first step I'm taking on my path to Buddhahood!
Zhi Zao looked on in disbelief: "Just because of these things, you betrayed your sect and joined the Mahayana Sect?"
"Senior brother, your obsession runs too deep; you've been poisoned by the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. Surrender now and come with me to apologize to Master!"
Zhiming's anger was palpable: "Just because of this? Isn't this enough?!"
What I find most disgusting is your arrogant, aloof attitude, as if you can let go of everything!
What you can so easily let go of is precisely what I can never obtain no matter how hard I try!
Seeing that Zhizao was about to persuade him again, Jiang Feng reached out to stop him: "Don't advise others to be good if you haven't experienced their suffering. If you had experienced my suffering, you might not be as good as me."
While that statement isn't entirely accurate, your nonsense will only provoke him further. Let me handle it.
After saying that, Jiang Feng stepped forward, put a dragon horn on his head, and his aura became extremely domineering. He used a transformation technique to become a white dragon and shouted loudly at Zhiming.
"There can only be one Buddha in this world, and that is me, Liangbaikai Buddha! Now, commit suicide to atone for your sins, and I, the Buddha, will grant you a complete corpse!"
Zhizao: "..."
Do you even need to listen to what you're saying? I'm spouting nonsense; you're not even speaking human language anymore.
Who would come up to someone and encourage them to commit suicide?
Zhiming's face turned ashen with anger. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "So it was you! What a load of rubbish! You really fooled me!"
Facing Zhiming, Jiang Feng asked the question that had been bothering him: "I'm very curious, why did you kill him and run away beforehand? How did you know I was going to test you?"
Zhiming sneered, "Is it hard to guess? That's because, apart from the three disciples I chose, all the other disciples following my fellow disciples are my people!"
Jiang Feng suddenly realized: "So you got the news after I tested Zhi Xi! You're quite a rare talent to have gone this far."
Zhiming said with a hint of pride, "Do you think that's all? Today, I control half of the disciples of the Tiantai sect, and with the followers I've developed over the years, there are a total of eight hundred Bodhisattvas of the Tenth Stage."
Today is your death day, and no one can save you!
Jiang Feng remained completely calm and composed, saying as if standing on solid ground, "I don't think so. What if Buddha himself came?"
"@#￥%￥#@……"
Zhiming was speechless for a moment after being choked by his words, then his eyes sharpened and he said with great confidence, "Even clever words and flattery cannot change your fate. At this moment, I am the Buddha!"
"Disciples, heed my command! Kill these demons!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a group of monk soldiers emitted a dense red light, their bloodshot eyes staring at Jiang Feng and the others, looking as if they wanted to tear them apart.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What a magnificent eight hundred Bodhisattvas! It must have taken a lot of effort to cultivate them. It's a pity they're mine now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng began to circulate the "Ten Abodes Mahayana Technique," and his body emitted a rich Buddhist light.
The Buddha's light shone brightly, instantly enveloping the eight hundred monks who were about to attack.
"A new Buddha has been born, sweeping away all demons!"
Jiang Feng's voice, like a great bell, resounded in the hearts of the eight hundred monks.
The eight hundred monk soldiers seemed to be under control, and they chanted slogans in unison with Jiang Feng.
"A new Buddha has been born, sweeping away all demons!"
