If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 134: Buddhism Does Not Recognize the Law - The Word "Lie"
Although Nanyang City is a gambling city, it has done a good job of disguise. On the surface, it looks like a large farm stay suitable for retirement.

Li Yanmo and two other people rented a yard.

Thinking that he was free anyway, Li Yanmo tentatively asked Dao Hai if he had any simple and easy-to-understand tricks to teach him.

"Brother Li, do you want to learn my Buddhist techniques?" Dao Hai was surprised. After a slight hesitation, he whispered, "Brother Li, listen to my advice. Once you enter Buddhism, it's like entering a deep sea. Don't believe the nonsense those people say."

Li Yanmo was speechless. "I just want to learn some decent-sounding moves. Is there any secret you can pass on?"

Before Dao Hai could even say anything, Leng Ningshuang became upset. "Wait a minute—Brother Li, why don't you want to learn my military spells? My military spells are much more powerful than Buddhist spells!"

Li Yanmo raised his hands helplessly, "I've read a lot of spells in Tianxu Tower, all written in classical Chinese. They're really too complicated—of course, it could also be that I'm not very insightful."

"Oh, I see. There's really nothing we can do about it."

Daohai pinched his chin, looked Li Yanmo up and down, and after much thought, he came up with an idea. "Brother Li, my Buddhist sect does have a secret that can be passed on. Perhaps you can try to learn it. The requirements for cultivation are not high, and you can even learn it by practicing Qi."

"Oh?"

"It's called lying."

"...What is that?" Li Yanmo suspected that he had misheard.

"Lies, also known as the "lie word technique", was comprehended by a great Buddhist master after being enlightened by a great scholar. However, because its power is too strong, all Buddhist disciples must return to secular life before using this trick. Other cultivators must never know that our Buddhist sect has mastered such a profound secret," Dao Hai shook his head and spoke coherently.

But Li Yanmo felt something was amiss, so he asked, "So, what's the truth?"

"That powerful being had an argument with a great scholar, and was so insulted that he began to question his life. After returning to India, he thought about it day and night, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he realized the secret of deception, and he was determined to use it to seek revenge."

"So...did this powerful person take revenge?"

"No, the great scholar had already passed away before that great man realized the secret of deception."

Li Yanmo covered his face, took a deep breath, and his expression stiffened. "This isn't just simple cursing, is it?"

Dao Hai's expression straightened as he corrected him, "Its scientific name is the Deception Technique. It draws inspiration from the principle that a great scholar's loud shout could mobilize the righteous energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles. It can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to mentally suppress the target, slowing their thinking and logic, ensuring that they won't retaliate."

"I suddenly... don't really want to..."

"Forget it, forget it. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. I'd better take you to see this deception technique."

As he spoke, Daohai pressed Li Yanmo's shoulders. The world turned upside down. When Li Yanmo came to his senses, he was standing on a plain. Not far away, a huge monster was staring at him and Daohai blankly.

"Then what..."

"Human! How dare you trespass into my territory!"

The monster was furious and rushed towards Li Yanmo and Dao Hai with a roar, suppressing its terrifying aura without any concealment.

This is a Nascent Soul demon!
"Brother Li, look carefully, this is the key to lying—"

Facing the ferocious attack of the Nascent Soul Demon, Dao Hai smiled calmly, his eyes widened, his face ferocious, like an angry King Kong.

"Shut up! Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

With a roar of anger, the sky suddenly became clear, and the green grass on the entire plain fell completely to one side. The face of the Nascent Soul monster was trembling in the wind, as if its skin and flesh would fly away with the white clouds in the next second.

When the wind died down, all the green grass slowly returned to its normal state, while the ferocious Nascent Soul demon stood there in a daze, not moving at all, as if the whole demon had gone stupid.

Dao Hai casually straightened his clothes and looked at Li Yanmo with clear eyes.

"Brother Li, this is the profound meaning of the Lie Technique. From now on, no matter how you insult this Nascent Soul Demon, it won't dare to make a sound." Li Yanmo: "..."

First of all, Dao Hai’s cultivation must be higher than that of this Nascent Soul demon.

Secondly...

"So the way the powerful man seeks revenge is to kill the person before he gets blasted?"

"Of course not. This lie is just talk."

Li Yanmo imagined Dao Hai's ferocious face, like a furious King Kong, and glanced in the direction of the Yuanying monster. Liquid was dripping between its legs. It was obvious that the Yuanying monster was scared to death.

Just saying...

Who are you lying to?
"Well, Daohai, don't you think that your cultivation played a big role in your ability to intimidate this great demon?"

Li Yanmo helplessly pointed out the fatal flaw in Daohai's deception, but Hai didn't take it seriously and even asked back.

"Brother Li, this is a spell, so naturally the higher your cultivation level, the better."

Li Yanmo was speechless. "Then how can I learn? There's no need for me to use the Lie Technique on those who are weaker than me. As for those who are stronger than me... am I using the Lie Technique because I think they're not dying fast enough?"

"Brother Li, that's wrong. The magic of this deception technique is that it disrupts the opponent's thoughts and prolongs their confusion. Sometimes it can be very effective against those with higher cultivation than you."

"real or fake?"

"You're being scolded like that by a weakling who you could easily kill, aren't you stunned?"

Li Yanmo was speechless again.

If a small fry yelled at him, "Shut up! Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you!", his first reaction would definitely be confusion, wondering how this small fry dared to do that.

But the problem is...

"What happens after that?"

"Oh - Brother Li, the spells you will be using later are all secrets of our Buddhist sect. Please forgive me."

Damn it, they only teach people how to attack monsters of higher levels, but don’t tell people how to attack monsters of higher levels!
Li Yanmo suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and felt that he shouldn't have asked Daohai to teach him some secrets. It would be better to use this time to learn more classical Chinese so that he could comprehend the military techniques sooner.

At this time, Dao Hai suddenly spoke again, "Speaking of which, Brother Li, can your trick of persuading learning be used on people with higher cultivation levels?"

Li Yanmo didn't know why Hai suddenly mentioned encouraging learning, but he still replied, "Theoretically, it's possible, but if someone with higher cultivation intentionally tries to stop it, then my method of encouraging learning will be useless."

Dao Hai pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and then raised his brows, "Brother Li, if you use the deception technique to intimidate the other party first, and then use persuasion to learn..."

Daohai didn't finish speaking, but Li Yanmo almost knew what Daohai wanted to express.

Li Yanmo's expression was strange. "It seems... it's not impossible?"

In order to prove the feasibility of this combination of skills, Li Yanmo finally decided to learn the trick of lying.

Of course, for the sake of his own life, Li Yanmo felt that he should not be too ambitious and imitate high-level people like Daohai.

"Brother Li, remember, the key to this deception technique lies in your mental strength. You must appear confident enough and rebuke the opponent with unwavering confidence that no one else can do it better than you. Only in this way can you disturb the opponent's mind with this technique!"

Under the patient teaching of Master Daohai, Li Yanmo mastered the trick of the lie technique in less than half a day.
