The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 68 Borrowing Lifespan

Abbot Fahai, along with eminent monks from the ten major Buddhist temples in the south, ascended Fenglei Mountain.

As soon as I got up the mountain, I saw the zombie king Zhang Tianlu and a group of demons on the summit.

A thousand-year-old black tiger, a thousand-year-old red python, and six great ghost kings!

They were all fierce and menacing, exuding an aura of evil.

Such terrifying demonic energy startled many viewers in the live stream.

"Wow, this lineup doesn't seem any worse than the one from the Hōjō-ji Temple!"

"What a fierce lineup! Damn, I can feel the demonic aura even through the screen!"

"Is this the Lion Camel Ridge? It's really become a demon mountain."

"I was almost scared to death, it was so fierce."

The high monks of Fasi Temple saw that Zhang Tianlu was not alone on Fenglei Mountain; he had actually gathered so many demons and monsters under his command.

The expressions on the faces of these high-ranking monks also turned grim.

When they first arrived, they thought Zhang Tianlu was powerful and that they could join forces to deal with him.

Once they got up the mountain, they discovered that they couldn't focus their fire on the enemy at all. The enemy also had subordinates, and each of their demons was quite powerful.

What follows is likely to be a tough battle.

The multi-against-one situation has been reduced to one-against-one.

This made the group of high-ranking monks feel uncomfortable instantly.

Abbot Fahai of Daweilong Temple snorted coldly at this moment.

"Amitabha Buddha, are you Zhang Tianlu, the third-generation patriarch of Longhu Mountain?"

Zhang Tianlu sat on the coffin and looked at the monk who was leading the conversation.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a black aura of corpse energy emanated from it.

"Which temple's bald monk are you from? How dare you address me by my name? Did you bring all these people with you?"

A bald junior colleague came up and addressed him by his full name right away.

This is an extremely disrespectful practice, regardless of whether it is within Buddhism or Taoism, or even among ordinary people.

Zhang Tianlu was instantly displeased by the bald man's rudeness!
If the Taoist priest is unhappy, you will suffer serious consequences.

The monk Fahai sneered: "If it were two thousand years ago, when you were still a human, I might have addressed you as Celestial Master. But you are the founder of a sect, and two thousand years after your death, you have willingly degenerated into a zombie and are now harming the world."

"You even arrested a high-ranking Buddhist monk like me! You've done such a thing that you no longer deserve my respect, Zhang Tianlu! Do you know your crime?"

The monk Fahai was eloquent and persuasive.

In just a few words, Zhang Tianlu's crimes were enumerated and he was convicted.

The monk Fahai directly stood on the moral high ground.

A condescending look.

Listening to Abbot Fahai's words in the Buddhist live broadcast room.

Viewers in the live stream exclaimed "Awesome!" after hearing it.

"Excellent! Master Fahai speaks well!"

"This...this is a direct confrontation? Not giving them any face at all?"

"It's over, it's over. We've completely offended them. They're showing absolutely no respect to the Taoist sect."

"That's too brave! Aren't you afraid of angering the other side?"

"Skill breeds daring. Master Fahai dared to do this, which shows he wasn't afraid of Zhang Tianlu. So what if he's a Taoist patriarch? He'll still kill anyone who offends Buddhism!"

"I feel it's not good to offend a dead person like this, right? Besides, he's an elder, after all, someone from more than two thousand years ago!"

"So what? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Learning knows no age, and those who are accomplished come first'? Master Fahai is stronger than Zhang Tianlu now. If we respect him, we'll give him some face. But if we fall out, what's wrong with not giving him face?"

In the live stream, the viewers had differing opinions and engaged in a heated discussion.

Hearing the monk Fahai spout nonsense right in front of him, Zhang Tianlu felt he had already been condemned. He sneered and said, "Harm to humanity? You mean this humble monk harms humanity? Hahahaha!"

He sat on the coffin and suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhang Tianlu suddenly burst into laughter, and at the same time, the laughter was released with the Five Thunder Yuan Yin.

The loud laughter instantly forced Fahai and the other monks to retreat several steps.

The Buddhist monks, including Fahai, who came to besiege Zhang Tianlu, were all greatly alarmed.

The opponent's skill level is actually so profound?
A single sonic attack from laughter could send them flying back several steps.
The monk Fahai's face darkened; it seemed that Zhang Tianlu was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Fahai asked, "Zhang Tianlu, what are you laughing at?"

Zhang Tianlu: "I laugh at you for being a fool, you old bald man. You say that I am harming the world, but you should ask the monk Liaozhen next to you what he has been doing in the main hall of Fazhong Temple all these years."
And what about that so-called high monk, Monk Kurong? Where did he get the lifespan to go into seclusion for ten years? There's a method within your Buddhist community for borrowing lifespan, and Monk Kurong borrowed 10 years of lifespan from the pilgrims who came to Fazhong Temple.

Hahaha, you say I'm a scourge to humanity? You dare say that?

Zhang Tianlu directly exposed all the things that Kurong and Liaozhen had done.

Upon hearing this, the monk Liaozhen's expression changed drastically.

He didn't expect Zhang Tianlu to bring this up in front of so many people, even in the live broadcast room.

This incident caused an uproar throughout the entire Buddhist community.

As expected, the monk Fahai's expression changed drastically as soon as Zhang Tianlu said this.

He actually had some idea about the matter of borrowing lifespan.

He had met Master Kurong of Fazhong Temple ten years ago.

When Abbot Fahai met Master Kurong that time, he sensed that Master Kurong's lifespan was nearing its end.

Based on the normal lifespan calculation, Master Kurong would definitely not have lived to the second year.

However, some time ago, Abbot Fahai heard that Master Kurong had been in seclusion for ten years and had broken through to the tenth level of the Kurong Divine Skill.

He had already guessed how Ku Rong was prolonging his life.

It must have been done using a Buddhist method of borrowing lifespan.

But even though he guessed it, he didn't say it out loud.

Because internally, this was a tacitly approved matter.

Many people have used it; it belongs to the gray-area magic, and can extend one's life by up to 50 years.

But this technique must never be known to outsiders.

But this very gray magic technique has now been exposed and revealed by Zhang Tianlu.

This incident was also heard by millions of viewers in the live stream.

The monk Fahai instantly realized that this matter had escalated significantly.

Moreover, the impact on them is enormous.

In short, it dealt them a critical hit of 10,000 points of damage.

Sure enough, the live stream exploded when Zhang Tianlu said this.

"Holy crap! Really? This is huge news?"

"If you don't understand, just ask. What is 'borrowing lifespan'?"

"It means exactly what it says. In the past, there was a folk method of casting spells. They would write a line on a piece of paper: 'My lifespan is not long enough. I will use this money to buy you 10 years of lifespan.' Then they would wrap the paper in money, ten or a hundred dollars would do, and throw it on the ground."

A random unlucky person will find it. If the unlucky person finds the money and then opens it to find the note inside, the attempt will fail. However, if the person doesn't even look at the note inside the money and just throws it away without knowing what happened, and even spends the money later, the attempt will likely succeed.

In short, it's an extremely insidious method, harming others for personal gain!

"Holy crap, there's such a thing? Damn it, doesn't this mean that the Fazhong Temple is also doing this?"

"Zhang Tianlu just said that the True Monk and the Kurong Monk performed this technique in the Great Buddha Hall to borrow the lifespan of the worshippers. Damn! What an idiot!"
