The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2398 Master, with so many people, why did you come to me?

The monk Kurong was stunned once again.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot...become a Buddha on the spot?"

The aura emanating from the monk Kurong suddenly surged, and the expression on his face began to change drastically.

One second he was a ferocious and insane man, the next he was kind and gentle, exuding a peaceful aura, and the next he became sinister and murderous...

Lin Chen was startled by this sudden change. What was going on?

Why did my words trigger such a strong reaction from him?

Lin Chen subconsciously recalled that when he woke up from his dream, the monk Kurong squatted on the ground and asked him what Buddha was. Now, he was repeatedly chanting "become a Buddha on the spot," and for a moment, he had some enlightenment.

This old monk must have gotten himself confused from practicing Buddhism, right?
He practices Buddhism, but what is Buddhism?
Only by understanding what Buddha is can one figure out how to become a Buddha; this is a very simple principle.

The old monk had become lost in his pursuit of the true meaning, and was then misled by his own few ambiguous Buddhist verses. The final idea of ​​"laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot" touched his soul, causing him to struggle internally.

Lin Chen didn't dare to run. At this moment, the old monk felt extremely dangerous. If he ran away, he might trigger something that would cause the monk to kill him directly.

The old monk's aura fluctuated violently, and Lin Chen was completely suppressed by this terrifying aura, enduring it with great discomfort.

He was, after all, a Great Immortal, yet the old monk's mere aura was enough to overwhelm him, which shows just how vast the difference was between them.

The fluctuations in the old monk's aura lasted for about ten minutes before gradually slowing down.

Lin Chen's heart was constantly in his throat. He roughly understood the current situation. The old monk was playing a game of questioning the mind, and the constant changes in his demeanor were the different fluctuations caused by the changes in his inner thoughts.

The old monk's body is like a spinning wheel, constantly changing into various possibilities. If it finally stops and remains as a mad monk with murderous intent, it means slaughter and death, and Lin Chen will probably have to run for his life, facing a slim chance of survival. But if it finally stops and remains as a compassionate, friendly, and peaceful master, then Lin Chen's life will be saved.

Everything depends on whether the old monk can control his inner demons and return to his original self.

Lin Chen's muscles were tense, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

Even knowing that escape is unlikely, who would sit idly by and wait to die? Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of success, they still have to take a gamble.

Finally, the old monk's emotional fluctuations completely stopped.

The old monk clasped his hands together, his face kind and gentle, his gaze peaceful, and he exuded an aura of tranquility.

Lin Chen let out a long breath and tentatively called out, "Master?"

The monk Kurong looked up at Lin Chen and smiled slightly: "Please wait a moment, young benefactor."

The monk Ku Rong pointed a finger at the space between his eyebrows, and the powerful aura emanating from him instantly weakened. Soon, his aura completely subsided, making him look like an ordinary monk.

He opened his eyes, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Lin Chen: "Young benefactor, I'm sorry to have startled you."

Lin Chen finally let out a breath he had been holding and asked cautiously, "Master, what's the situation now?"

The monk Ku Rong replied, "In the battle with the vice leader of the Sea God Sect, I was injured. My inner demons took advantage of the situation and temporarily took over my body. It was all thanks to your Buddhist verses, young benefactor, that I was able to enhance my Buddha-nature and suppress my demonic nature while comprehending them. The last sentence was like a morning bell and evening drum, which was thought-provoking. My inner demons showed a weakness, and I took the opportunity to regain control of my body."

“Now that I have sealed off my power, my inner demons are helpless and can no longer do evil. So, in a way, you have done me a great favor. If you hadn’t stopped me, I estimate that I would have become a bloodthirsty demon and caused a terrible massacre.”

After hearing the monk Kurong's explanation, Lin Chen finally felt completely relieved. That was terrifying!

I was so scared that I was sweating inside my vest.

"Master, I'm so glad you're alright. You scared me to death just now..."

The monk Ku Rong smiled kindly and said, "This matter is my fault. I am only grateful for the Buddhist verses of the young benefactor. Otherwise, I would not have been able to wake up... Young benefactor, are you a disciple of the Longshan Sect?"

Lin Chen nodded: "My master is Fuyunzi."

Monk Ku Rong was slightly taken aback: "Fellow Daoist Fu Yunzi has taken on a disciple?"

Lin Chen replied, "I've only been a disciple for two days. By the way, Master, has something happened to my master? I didn't see him just now."

The monk Kurong replied, "His opponent was very strong. He used the Dragon Mountain Secret Technique in the battle. Although he won, he was also seriously injured and went into seclusion to heal."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It was just an injury, that's good!

Lin Chen hadn't seen him before and wondered if he was already dead. Otherwise, why wouldn't he show up when his disciple had been kidnapped?

Lin Chen then asked, "Is the sectarian conflict over? Who won?"

The monk Kurong replied, "We won, but by a narrow margin."

Lin Chen asked with concern, "Master, could you tell me the details? Uh, if it's inconvenient, I can ask you when I get back to Moon Goddess Island."

The monk Ku Rong smiled and replied, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. Let's go back to Moon Goddess Island first, so they won't worry. I'll tell you on the way."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen released a small flying boat and headed towards Moon Goddess Island. The monk Kurong sat cross-legged on the flying boat and told Lin Chen about the fierce battle that Lin Chen had missed.

"The first match was between Shangguan Wenyin, the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, and Wujie. Wujie lost the match, and Shangguan Wenyin suffered a minor injury. He insisted on playing in the second match, which was played by Xuanhe of the Dragon Mountain Sect. Shangguan Wenyin was defeated, and Xuanhe was seriously injured by his counterattack."

"In the third match, Xuan Qing faced off against Ma Fengteng of the Sea God Sect. Ma Fengteng was also a genius disciple of the Sea God Sect, and Xuan Qing was defeated."

Lin Chen was quite shocked when he heard this.

Two of the three disciples of the Three Teachings lost. Xuanhe was the only one who won, but that was because Shangguan Wenyin chose to fight continuously and was injured in the first battle. Even so, although he lost, Xuanhe was seriously injured.

Shangguan Wenyin's fighting power is too strong!
As expected of the Holy Son of the Sea God Cult!
The monk Kurong continued, "In the fourth battle, your master Fuyunzi went into battle and used the Dragon Mountain Secret Technique to win, but he was seriously injured."

"In the fifth battle, the Taoist Tianguang fought and won the match, sustaining minor injuries."

"In the sixth battle, I sent Qian to fight, and we lost."

"At this point, the six battles were tied three to three. I fought against the opposing vice-leader and won the duel, but I was slightly injured. My inner demons took advantage of the situation and clouded my judgment..."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Master, I'm just a nobody, hiding in the formation to cultivate. There are so many people in the camp, why did you choose me?"
