Volume 3 The Age of Savage Chapter 164 The Poor Monk (3)
The convoy traveled dozens of kilometers, and Lin Fuzi alerted a huge crack ahead. From a distance, many giant turtle-like insects climbed up and down the cracks.
"What is this?" Annie Ho, who was following closely, shouted in surprise as she pointed at the bugs.
"It's just a bug, President He don't be impatient."
"Can this still be called a bug? It's all fine! And there are so many of them, what if they attack humans? β
"If we don't get closer, we shouldn't be attacked."
"I'm talking about: what if bugs attack human settlements?"
"It's hundreds of kilometers from here to the new provincial capital, and you have to pass through vast jungles, numerous waters, and beasts everywhere along the way. I think if the bugs really have the consciousness and ability to attack the human settlements, then they will at least have to brush out the other monsters on the periphery first. β
He Annie said: "Now that such a big crack is in front of us, how can our personnel and vehicles get through?" β
Lin Zaishan replied: "We have to change the route of travel, and now we need aerial reconnaissance." β
Anne He was the first to say, "You want to release that children's toy again, don't you?" You should save your worries and watch Xiaobai's performance. As she spoke, she gave a few commands, and suddenly a loud chirp came from mid-sky, and in an instant, the whooper swan Xiaobai had already flown over the convoy - it turned out that Xiaobai had been flying with the convoy in the air.
He Annie said: "Lin Zaishan, I now let Lin Fuzi share Xiaobai's reconnaissance data, and you can view the real-time picture on your mobile phone." β
Lin Zaishan clicked on his mobile phone, and the overlooking picture from Xiaobai's perspective was presented in front of him.
"The passage has been found, and the route forward has been re-planned. A cutting blade needs to be activated to clear 3.5 km of roadblocks. Lin Fuzi reported in a synthesized voice.
"Execute it now!"
The convoy turned right and entered the jungle. The pickup truck activated the cutting blade at the front of the vehicle, and the trees and weeds that blocked the way were automatically cut off and cleared to both sides.
He Annie felt bored following the pickup, so she asked Lin Zaishan through her mobile phone: "That fake monk hasn't moved for a long time, was it killed by you?" β
Lin Zaishan replied: "Master Kongse's strength is amazing, he can be called the penultimate I have encountered in the wine field throughout the ages, he only drank two sips of beer, and he was already drunk and unconscious. I'm currently sleeping with ham sausage in my mouth, and it looks like my saliva has flowed into a river, and by the way, don't forget to remind me to go back and change all the cushions. β
He Annie said: "You and the fake monk are really wonderful, I'm curious, how did the two of you get along peacefully for more than half an hour?" β
"I basically didn't say anything, I didn't do anything, and the Master of Empty Colors got himself drunk. I guess he was most likely injured at the beautiful President He, so I came to talk to a good listener like me and drink to drown his sorrows. β
"Then have you taken the opportunity to set up a set of his so-called important knowledge and skills for survival in the last days?"
"No, the master himself talked a lot about wine."
"What is he talking about?"
"To be honest, my Dharma cultivation is too low to understand." Lin Zaishan teased: "But one thing is certain, Master Kongse is definitely a gambling enthusiast. β
"I'll go!"
Halfway to Yancheng, Lin Zaishan's pickup truck and He Annie's armored off-road vehicle struggled through the jungle. The pickup's cutting shovel continued to clear the road, when suddenly the roar of a wolf was heard.
He Annie jumped out of the car excitedly and shouted at Lin Zaishan: "You still don't come down to fight wolves?" This time, guarding my armored off-road vehicle, I can teach the wolves a lesson. β
She clicked the button on her phone, and two machine guns with 360-degree rotation protruded from the roof of the armored car. Seeing this, Lin Zaishan also ordered Lin Fuzi to activate the mechanical crossbow. At this time, thirty or fifty wild wolves had already fanned out in formation.
He Annie just wanted to press the automatic defense shooting button, but she heard a half-dreaming voice in the air and said: "Who is the first to wake up in the spring dream, I know what it tastes like, I took a nap in the car, and suddenly heard the wild wolf hissing." β
Lin Zaishan said: "Master Kongse, you woke up just in time. We're getting ready for a man-wolf battle. β
"What? Killing? That's not going to work! Hearing this, Kongse stopped him repeatedly: "No, no, no, you can't kill casually!" As he spoke, he jumped onto the roof of Annie Ho's armored off-road vehicle and blocked the bullet hole with his body.
"What are you messing around here? Get out of the way! He Annie said angrily.
"The killing ring is a great commandment, and you must not commit the killing ring." Sora continued to dissuade.
"You fake monk here!" He Annie scolded: "You don't take that beautiful lady's mirror to look at yourself, to see how many vows you have committed, do you still care about this killing vow?" β
"It's because I've broken too many vows that I care more about killing vows, because it's the only vow I've never broken!"
"It's us who will kill later, what does it have to do with you? Even if you commit the Killing Ring, it's us, not you. All you have to do is sit and watch the fun! β
"No! You have killed to protect me, and according to the Law of the Heavenly Trialists, all sins have fallen on me. No, no, no. Empty Se clung to the muzzle of the gun.
Seeing that the wolves were about to rush to the front of the battle, He Annie was furious and ordered: "Chen Qing, Chen Xiu, you knock this fake monk who doesn't know whether he lives or dies unconscious, and then throw it to feed the wolves!" β
Chen Qing and Chen Xiu were just about to make a move, but Lin Zaishan stopped and said, "Don't be rude." He turned his head and asked, "Master, if you don't let us kill the wolf, the wolf will kill us." Isn't our life more precious than the life of an animal? β
The empty head argued in a straightforward manner: "The so-called equality of all beings, animals are all beings, and all beings are animals." Back then, when the Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle, he neither talked to the eagle about the nobility of life, nor did he kill the eagle because it was an animal. β
Lin Zaishan said: "We are all ordinary people, and there is no realm of cutting meat to feed eagles or sacrificing ourselves to feed wolves." β
Kong Se continued: "Actually, it's not a big deal to sacrifice yourself to feed the wolves, as long as you endure it, it will pass quickly. He said "gently" to He Annie and the three daughters: "I dare to pack the ticket, this pain will not be worse than the girl's first time......"
He Annie raised her pistol and aimed it at Kongse's head, and roared: "You get out of the way, or I will shoot you with one shot!" β
"Even if you kill me, I won't let go!" Kongse said: "The Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!" β
Annie Ho was furious and struck the trigger. At this moment, Lin Zaishan made a move, and He Annie's bullet flew past the empty scalp.
"Anne, don't be impulsive!" Lin Zaishan said: "I have a way to solve the problem without bloodshed. β
He Annie glared at Lin Zaishan angrily and asked, "If you don't kill the wolf, how can you drive the wolf away?" β
Lin Zaishan smiled: "Can't you believe me?" β
He Annie said angrily: "It's strange that I trust you!" Then he put away his pistol and put on a resigned look.
Lin Zaishan closed his eyes, spread out his senses, and locked every wolf that rushed over. Scarlet wolf eyes, angry wolf mouths, and stretched limbsβall weaknesses that could be attacked at any timeβbut Lin Zaishan didn't rush to attack, his newly enhanced hearing came into play, and he probed the heart of a living animal from a distance without borrowing any instruments. Acute perception does not stop there, but penetrates the heart and enters the heart chambers.
"Captain Lin, hurry up and use your abilities!" Chen Xiu couldn't help it and reminded Lin Zaishan loudly.
Lin Zaishan suddenly opened his eyes, and the powerful qi energy instantly diffused out from the sea of consciousness. In less than 0.5 seconds, each wolf's heart chamber was stabbed. The sudden sharp pain and the accompanying heart contraction reaction When all the wolves fell into panic, in a miserable scream, the wolves turned around one after another, and fled without a trace for more than ten seconds.
"Lin Zaishan, what kind of ability did you just cast?" He Annie asked while motioning for Chen Qing and Chen Xiu to throw away the empty color.
"I'm not using a power as you understand it, it's just a sense of qi in my opinion."
"Can you teach me?"
"I've taught you a long time ago."
"You're not going to tell me it's the Ma family's boxing method, are you? Ye Jingying seems to have been practicing very diligently recently. β
"It doesn't have to be the Ma family boxing method, as long as it is the right method to help practice qi, it should be fine."
"Why have I never heard of anyone in reality who has this ability before?"
"That's because after the end of the world, the air was re-injected with a dense vitality or life energy, and the method of practicing qi began to show effects under new environmental conditions."
He Annie glanced at the empty color vigilantly, and motioned to Lin Zaishan not to talk about such an important topic.
The empty color that was thrown to the ground and ate a mouthful of mud got up, patted his clothes, and said nonchalantly: "The method of practicing qi, pediatrics, it's not a big deal." β
Lin Zaishan said modestly: "Master Kongse is not bad at all, if my method of practicing qi is shown to those martial arts masters and immortal cultivators, it will definitely be regarded as child's play, and it will be laughed off." β
"Alas!" Kong Se sighed: "Actually, you don't have to feel inferior, although in terms of realm, the qi flow you play belongs to the kindergarten-level game show, but under the regulation of the "Great Law of Heavenly Trialists", anyone who is under the same conditions as you may not be better than you." β
"Master, can you tell me what the Great Law of the Heavenly Trialists is? I haven't read a thousand Buddhist scriptures, at least fifty or sixty of them; But I've never heard of a Heavenly Trialist Law. β
"You're just an ordinary man, and it's normal to be lonely and unheard. I can't tell you much now, but when our fate arrives in the future, your realm is enough, let's talk again. β
"It sounds like I'm a master, but in fact, I think it's just pretending to be a ghost and playing tricks." Anne Ho scoffed.
"We are obviously fighting wolves in the last days, why do we have to say that gods and ghosts are mysterious?" Chen Xiu interjected: "I always feel that the style of painting is wrong. β
Kong Se made an unfathomable look and said: "Actually, everything can be understood rationally, but you currently lack sufficient rational cognitive ability, so it feels unpredictable. Amitabha! β
He Annie said: "Your fake monk is fortunately escorted by a few of us atheists, if you change to followers of other religions, I think I am afraid that the road will not go far and fight each other and die together." β
Sora smiled: "This is fate. β
Lin Zaishan asked, "Master, may I ask you a question: What is fate?" β
"Fate is the internal and external connection triggered by the thoughts and actions of sentient beings."
Lin Zaishan nodded, seemingly agreeing; And Annie Ho mocked: "What's the difference between you and not explaining? It's still air-to-air, mystery-to-mystery. β
Kongse said: "Okay, I'll just talk about a more specific example of fate. I waited for many days in the new provincial capital, and I couldn't find a suitable guardian, so I issued a tender notice for the mission, and you will come to the door to collect the mission immediately. Isn't this fate? β
"This can only show that the task entrustment mechanism of the special committee is good, and it has nothing to do with the fate you talked about." Anne Ho had made up her mind not to accept any quibbles from the empty color.
"Then I'll give you another example or assertion that you absolutely can't deny." Kong Se stretched out his left hand to grab Lin Zaishan's right hand, and grabbed He Annie's left hand with his right hand.
He Annie said angrily: "You dare to move your hands and feet? β
Before she could have a complete seizure, Kong Se put her hand and Lin Zaishan's hand together.
Kongse grinned, let go of his hands and said: "According to my eyes, the two of you have a deep relationship, and sooner or later you will be together, not only to eat and live together, but also to sleep together." Do you think this counts as fate? β
The spicy He Annie blushed and looked at Lin Zaishan without saying a word.
Lin Zaishan rubbed Annie He's little hands like a child, and praised: "President He's hands are really small and tender. Then he let go and turned his face to Kongse and said, "Master Kongse, you are pulling Lang Lang under the guise of Buddhism." β
"When you two are together in the future, you will know how effective my judgment is, and don't forget to bow down to me in the morning and evening."
Lin Zaishan said: "Even if I am unfortunate in the future...... Oh no, I am fortunate to live with the beautiful and domineering President He, and that is also the result of our own choice, and it has nothing to do with the fate you judged, master. Speaking of which, Master, I have something I don't know, so I would like to ask you for advice. β
"Just ask, I've always been tireless in teaching people who are destined."
"Master, I've been with you for a few thousand seconds, and according to Buddhist terms, it's enough for countless worlds to be born and destroyed; But I don't see you doing anything that would help improve our cruel apocalyptic world, and I don't even notice you have such thoughts. You're just guarding the last so-called killing ring as a fig leaf, and you have no mercy when you're desperate to feed the wolves. The so-called one thought to good, heaven is reachable, one thought to evil, hell ahead. Thou art dancing and enjoying the brink of hell all day long, shaking your lips and making a steady stream of oral karma. If you don't have strong enough hard power and true skills, I think your life and the Fa you are preaching will be in jeopardy. β
Kong Se laughed, smiled and stroked his palms and praised: "Not bad, yes, your understanding is very high, you are really a destined person, it is not in vain that I spent so many days waiting in the new provincial capital!" He patted Lin Zaishan on the shoulder and said, "I admire you!" β
Kongse said loudly to everyone with a straight face: "Everyone: I won't tell you anything, I have the so-called hard power and true skills of Kongse, and teaching a little bit is enough for you to run rampant in the last days." β
Lin Zaishan and He Annie immediately realized that they were going to get to the point of this trip, and they both listened very carefully.
Kongse's tone changed and said, "However, due to the constraints of the Great Law of the Heavenly Trialists, I can only teach you a little bit this time, and the premise is that you must escort me to the Yancheng Wanta Temple in accordance with the principle of non-killing, and be able to survive the upcoming life and death test." β
"What life and death test?" Lin Zaishan asked with interest.
Kongse pinched his fingers and said, "There are four levels in total, oh no, it's five levels, let me calculate it again, it's five levels." In the next trip, you will encounter five levels of life and death tests, and if you pass according to my requirements, I will teach you the same skills. If you are unwilling to accept or fail to pass the test, we will end our fate, go our separate ways, and scatter as birds and beasts. β
Lin Zaishan resolutely said: "Master of Empty Color, no matter what mysteries you make, we will regard it as a new apocalyptic survival test. We will never forget the cruel physical reality and the law of the jungle in the last days just because some mysterious guy jumps out and plays a trick. β
"Whatever you think, I won't teach you skills if you don't follow my rules anyway."
"Then let the horses come."
"Don't keep an eye on me, it's not me who is about to put life and death on you."
"Master, I'm curious, if we give up, get out, or play over, what will happen to your life and death? It's not necessarily that the wolves are full, and we won't eat you, right? β
"I have my own way of dealing with this, so I don't bother you."
