I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1632: 1634: Returning to Lingyin Temple

Chapter 1632: Chapter 1634: Returning to Lingyin Temple

“Master Juehu is also considered a high monk of great virtue in the Buddhist Sect. He will surely devote himself to the faith of the entire Buddhist Sect!”

“However, this matter still requires the Abbot to make a decision. If you wish for the two of us to stay and help Arhat Monastery, we will do so without complaint!”

Li Xiaobai said in a deep voice, making Juehu feel even more pressured on his shoulders.

These two are really cunning, always placing him at the moral high ground, making it impossible for him to respond. At tis like this, any word from him would carry responsibility. If he forcibly retained these two, the Buddhist Sect’s accountability afterward would likely make his position as Abbot unstable.

“Amitabha, since this is the case, our Arhat Monastery should naturally consider the bigger picture. How can we allow minor concerns to sacrifice major ones? Even if the entire Arhat Monastery falls, as long as the Pure Land can improve, it is worth it. We just hope that by then, the two of you can lend a helping hand.”

Master Juehu gritted his teeth, almost squeezing the words out from between them.

For the sake of his future career, he endured it. As long as Lingyin Temple could control the solution, they would not abandon Arhat Monastery. All he needed to do was hold on for a while.

“Master is truly a benevolent man. I admire you greatly!”

“It’s truly the fortune of the Pure Land to have soone like Master preside over it in the Buddhist Sect!”

Li Xiaobai grinned, offering tily flattery.

Juehu didn’t want to talk to the young man in front of him any longer, finding him too devious. For so unknown reason, this person seed familiar, as if he had seen him sowhere before.

He waved his hand to have a nearby monk prepare the Teleportation Formation.

“There’s no need to say more. As a mber of the Buddhist Sect, these are simply things this old monk should do, a re trifle.”

Juehu forced a smile and said.

Li Xiaobai and Liu Jinshui wasted no ti, grabbed Ergouzi, and left, following a group of monks.

Juehu turned his head and asked a monk beside him, “Do you rember what this old monk just said?”

The monk nodded, “Reporting to the Abbot, not a single word was missed.”

“That’s very good. Record today’s events in the history of our Arhat Monastery, emphasizing the words I just spoke. Make them well-known maxims, widely recited by the monks of the Buddhist Sect, and it would be best if they morize them!”

Juehu said.

“Good!”

The monk went to prepare. In the monastery, those recorded in history are extraordinary events and people. The previous Abbot worked diligently all his life, yet didn’t manage to leave a mark in Arhat Monastery’s history, but tis have changed now.

Amid the chaos facing the entire Pure Land, the collapse of faith, and foreign invasion, every decision and action of Abbot Juehu at this ti will be detailedly recorded for later criticism, so naturally, it should be embellished a great deal now.

“Fortunately, there’s still so gain. Though the present is sowhat difficult, what will be left for later are only good reputation and prestige. When this news spreads, our Arhat Monastery’s selfless deeds of sacrificing for the greater good will certainly elevate the monastery’s status!”

Juehu’s eyes sparkled with light, every step calculated precisely, involving interests, allowing no sloppiness.

At the sa ti.

On the outskirts of the Pure Land.

A monk engulfed in surging Demonic Fla walked slowly on the golden land. Watching the fleeing monks and devotees, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Eastern Land, he is a monk from Eastern Land!”

“Just as rumored, this event is a conspiracy of the East Buddha!”

“They can’t wait any longer, hurry and report to the Abbot!”

Monks, pale as paper, were terrified. The monk surrounded by overwhelming Demonic Qi didn’t know how to restrain himself, his aura rampant, as if an invisible hand grasped their hearts, ready to crush them at any mont.

“Indeed, as stated in the letter, the Pure Land is wasted, and it seems reality is harsher than described. Devotees are rebelling against the monastery—this is a crisis of faith. The West Buddha is in disarray, precisely the opportune ti for us to launch a massive attack from the abandoned Eastern Land!”

“The cultivators from the suspected Land of the Dead in the shadows want to use the East Buddha to fight the West Buddha. Their sche seems well-calculated, but they are not so formidable characters. We’ll deal with them later.”

Tang Sanzang finished surveying the entire monastery’s influence area, personally witnessing people raising banners to establish a new religion, shouting slogans to believe in science and abolish superstitious feudalism.

Surging Demonic Fla whirled, forming the shape of a bird in the void, flying away with a letter in its beak. He felt the timing was ripe, regardless of being used as a pawn. Now is the excellent opportunity to attack the Pure Land.

On the other side.

Above the Buddha Sea, in front of Lingyin Temple’s mountain gate.

Li Xiaobai and Liu Jinshui arrived at the familiar void area, and Ergouzi was visibly excited, finally feeling a trace of familiar energy.

“The last ti I ca here, it was when I followed Senior Sister and barged in.”

A hint of nostalgia appeared on Liu Jinshui’s face.

“Let’s go inside and hide.”

The two and the dog skillfully found the invisible steps, and the majestic mountain gate reappeared before them.

The guarding monk stepped forward to inquire, not giving him a chance to speak, Li Xiaobai directly tossed out the Identity Token from Master Lingtai.

“On official business for the Supervisor’s Office, don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked. Given the critical situation in the Pure Land, so things can’t be revealed too much. Knowing too much is not good; what do you think?”

Li Xiaobai spoke in an indifferent tone.

Beside him, Liu Jinshui observed the situation and tily pulled out a pack of Huazi, handing it over.

The guard disciple’s eyes lit up instantly, becoming increasingly respectful.

“Yes, yes, we understand!”

“Since you are on business for the Supervisor’s Office, it is naturally improper to question. Please, both of you esteed masters, co inside!”

“As long as you understand, keep your mouths shut, or if information leaks, you’ll be the ones questioned!”

Li Xiaobai glanced at a few disciples arrogantly and swaggered into the mountain gate. In the Buddhist Sect, as in officialdom, the more ostentatious one is, the more they inspire awe and suspicion, while the more subdued one appears, the more easily they are believed to be weak.

“Great seclusion is in the bustling city; the grand commander is hidden in a red sweater.”

“Find a small restaurant, have good food and drink prepared, and let’s quietly watch the changes. When Lingyin Temple falls into chaos, that’s our great opportunity to seize cultivation level!”

Li Xiaobai casually tossed Lingtai’s Identity Token into a monk’s pocket and then gracefully departed.

“Junior Brother is not simple; even possessing Lingtai’s Identity Token, he must be doing well in the Buddhist Sect, right?”

Liu Jinshui said aningfully. Lingtai had been the Supervisor hundreds of years ago, soone he is familiar with.

Being able to get such an influential Identity Token, Junior Brother truly has social prowess.

“Just so-so, it’s all thanks to Sixth Brother’s guidance. If a fight breaks out later, I hope Sixth Brother can help and show the manly spirit.”
