I'm in the world of Xianjian

Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger heard some noise in the room and thought something had happened, so they ran back in a hurry.

After running back, he saw the two men fist bumping. Lin Yueru jokingly said, "Two people who used to dislike each other, after not seeing each other for a while, have become friends?"

Lin Shen said, "I just talked some things out."

Zhao Linger brought two steamed buns and a plate of vegetables and said, "You two, do you want to eat?"

Lin Shen said, "Li Xiaoyao, please eat."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Shen said, "When I was doing the maze trial before, I was used to not eating and not sleeping for several days and nights." So Li Xiaoyao grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this time, the magic circle on Anu disappeared. Zhao Linger picked up Anu. Anu slowly opened her eyes and said, "I...I...what's wrong with me?"

Zhao Linger said, "You were seriously injured just now, and it was Brother Anos who saved you."

Anu looked at Lin Shen and said, "Anos~Brother, I..."

Lin Shen said, "Okay, I'm glad you've recovered." He then looked at Li Xiaoyao and the steamed bun that Li Xiaoyao hadn't touched, grabbed it, and whispered, "Luckily, both buns didn't end up in his mouth."

Lin Shen broke the steamed bun into pieces, and Lin Yueru said, "It's a good steamed bun, why are you breaking it?"

Lin Shen didn't say anything, but just busied himself with his own work. He broke the steamed buns into pieces, added water, and stirred them into a paste. Then he picked some green vegetable leaves, crushed them, added them in, and added a little vegetable soup.

Lin Shen handed the bowl of porridge to Lin Yueru and said, "Anu has just recovered, so liquid food is easier to digest. Given the current conditions, this is the only solution I can think of."

Lin Yueru said, "Thank you, Anos."

Anu said, "Anos~Brother, you are so kind."

Lin Shen coughed twice and left the room. Zhao Linger then supported Anu while Lin Yueru fed her. At this moment, Lin Shen received a system notification: "Ding! Main quest now released: Assist Zhao Linger in capturing the Jade Buddha Bead!"

Lin Shen asked, "So, it's okay for me to help out?"

The system replied, "Yes, host."

Lin Shen thought: Anyway, that Zhixiu doesn’t have much Taoism skills, so it doesn’t matter if we cooperate with each other.

After Anu adjusted herself, she walked out of the house with the other three. Zhao Linger asked, "What should we do now?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Why bother asking? The corpse demon has already reached the mountain gate. There's no reason for Zhixiu not to come out now, right?"

Lin Yueru said indignantly, "Then let's go and see if there's any reason to be a coward this time."

The five of them went to the central hall, where Zhixiu was still beating the wooden fish and chanting sutras, with the young monk standing nearby. Li Xiaoyao respectfully called out, "Master Zhixiu."

Master Zhixiu stopped, stood up, looked at Li Xiaoyao and his group, and said, "Donor, what can I do for you?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "This time, I still ask the master to come out of seclusion to eliminate demons and defend the way. You just saw it, the corpse demon is rampant.

When the nest is overturned, no eggs are left unbroken. Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the people or the safety of this temple, Master should lend a hand."

Master Zhixiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, but I need you to agree to one condition."

Li Xiaoyao said, "As long as it's not against the will of heaven or morality, even ten things are fine."

Lin Shen complained in his heart: You will regret it soon.

Zhixiu said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing. Zhize! (The young monk answered yes) Bring me the razor and the robe."

The young monk replied "Yes!" and left. Li Xiaoyao asked in confusion, "Master, what are you doing?"

Zhixiu said, "I will give you the tonsure. You must become a monk here."

Except for Lin Shen, the other four people answered in unison, "I don't want it!"

Zhixiu said, "Since the donor has already agreed, how can he go back on his word?"

Lin Yueru was furious and shouted, "How can you force someone to become a monk?"

Seeing that Li Xiaoyao and the others had changed their minds, Zhixiu shouted, "Zhi Zhang! (The gray-robed monk who had previously shouted about eating meat ran in with a few others) Capture them!"

Just as Li Xiaoyao and the others were about to take action, Lin Shen stopped them and said, "Leave these minions to me. I'll leave that old man to you."

Lin Shen condensed a black ball of light in his hand and threw it towards Zhi Zhang and others. With an explosion, Zhi Zhang and the other monks were blown away.

Lin Shen looked at Zhi Xiu and said in a joking tone, "Old monk, the people under you are not good enough. They are not enough to fill my teeth."

Zhixiu was immediately enraged and said, "Becoming a monk is a good thing, why don't you keep your promise?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "I haven't married yet, and my family is counting on me to carry on the family line. Besides, I'm quite satisfied with my hairstyle, so you can keep the razor for yourself."

Zhixiu flew into a rage, swung his staff, and charged. Lin Yueru grabbed her whip and swung it, wrapping it around Zhixiu's staff. Then she pulled it back, and Zhixiu's staff slipped right out of her hand.

Lin Shen said, "Boy, stop pretending and show your true self."

Li Xiaoyao was puzzled and asked, "Anos, what do you mean?"

Zhixiu didn't say anything, but just turned into the little monk from before.

Li Xiaoyao and the others were stunned and asked, "Why is it you?!"

The young monk knelt down and cried, "Please spare my life, my dear! Please spare my life!"

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Why do you force people to become monks?"

The young novice monk said, "I was originally transformed from the Buddhist beads held by Bodhidharma, and I have been practicing for nine hundred and ninety-nine years."

Zhao Linger said, "Since you have practiced Taoism for nearly a thousand years, you should be devoting yourself to cultivation and seeking salvation. Why do you allow yourself to degenerate, relying on your magical powers to force people to become monks and persecute the villagers?"

The young monk said, “I…I want them to become monks, not to force them to do bad things.

The Buddhist scriptures say: Save all sentient beings, and also say: Everyone has Buddha nature.

So I thought, if I could get many people to become Buddhist disciples, the Buddha would be very moved and would take me to heaven to become a Buddha."

Li Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this. He said, "Oh my God, what kind of cultivation method is this? Who came up with this method?"

The young monk said, "Yes...I thought of it when I was reading Buddhist scriptures." Everyone was speechless when they heard it.

Zhao Linger sighed and said, "The foundation of learning is to sacrifice oneself to help others.

Buddha said that selflessness means giving up oneself, Buddha said that compassion means helping others

But what you did was the opposite of what you did, destroying your own merits.

"You have a thousand years of cultivation, yet you only have the wisdom of a child. If you continue like this, you will not achieve enlightenment, but will instead fall into the devil's way."

Lin Shen rolled his eyes at the young monk and sneered, "You're a typical example of someone who only grows older but not smarter."

The young monk said to Zhao Linger, "Ah? Bodhisattva! You are a Bodhisattva!"

Zhao Linger said, "You, don't do this. I'm not a Bodhisattva."

The young novice monk immediately kowtowed and said, "I am so moved. No one has ever taught me these principles. I beg the Bodhisattva to accept me as his disciple."

Zhao Linger said, "These principles were taught to me by my master."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Then let him atone for his crime. We need to get rid of the corpse monster, and this little guy might be useful."

The little monk said, "Okay, okay, I know who is controlling the corpse demon, and I can help you find him.

Most of the corpse monsters at the foot of the mountain came from the mass grave north of Heishui Town, where there is a general's tomb from the Sui Dynasty.

The Red Ghost King is hiding in that underground pool of blood. He uses evil magic to control the dead to suck human blood so that he can practice his magic skills."

Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but gasp and said, "Wow... there are still such evil demons."

Zhao Linger said, "Okay, since you're willing. From now on, you'll follow me in your original form. From now on, you'll be called Little Stone, and you'll come out when I call you."

The little monk answered "yes" and turned into a string of Buddhist beads.

The little stone said, "Master, please wear me on you. I can increase your magical power and protect you from the negative energy in the tomb."

After Zhao Linger picked up the beads, a group of monks gathered around and said, "Thank you, heroes! We are finally free from the control of the monster."

Li Xiaoyao took a quick look and asked, "Which one of you is Jiang Shaoyun?"

A handsome bald boy stood up and said, "I am."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Han Mengci is waiting for you at home, you should go back quickly."

After the villagers dispersed, the entire Jade Buddha Temple quickly disappeared. At this time, Lin Shen received a system notification sound.
