Chapter 486: 485

"Master, save me!"

Unfooled by Ye Tian’s pitiable appearance, the Zen Master calmly said, "I can help, but you must agree to one condition."

"Don’t just say one condition—even a hundred... two is fine!"

Ye Tian had intended to say a hundred, but thinking better of it, he changed it to two on the fly. As he spoke too quickly, saliva splattered out, but the Great Zen Master deflected it with the wide sleeve of his kasaya, preventing it from landing on his face.

"Then it’s two."

Shameless!

Ye Tian cursed inwardly but said confidently aloud, "Two is fine, no problem! Just say it."

The Great Zen Master looked up, pondering, and then gazed at him, "I haven’t thought it through yet, we’ll talk about it once we’re outside."

Ye Tian was overjoyed, there was a chance!

"Take that book and follow behind me. Oh, and the Shariputra, you’ll be in charge of protecting it too."

Looking at the pile of stones handed to him, Ye Tian was puzzled. These stones were the ones he had just pried off the stone wall. Since when did Shariputra grow out of a stone wall?

"Having regrets? You didn’t want them when I offered them for free. Now don’t even think about laying your hands on them."

Who would want them! Ye Tian stuffed the stones into his trouser pockets, then worrying they weren’t secure, took them out and placed them into the inner pocket of his jacket, carefully fastening the button.

The scope of the Evil Spirit Array on the floor was gradually expanding. By the time the two had finished negotiating, the edge of the Array had already reached the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, with its black borders continuously stretching over new territory, threatening to infiltrate the pavilion.

The Great Zen Master narrowed his eyes, and a tremendous aura suddenly emitted from him. Ye Tian was pushed back several steps by this gust of wind, only to see the Great Zen Master’s corpulent kasaya swelling as if a blower was hidden inside it.

In the Scripture Pavilion, rows of bookshelves toppled over with the wind, the pages of ancient texts fluttering in the breeze, making a whooshing noise that filled the entire pavilion. Decades of accumulated dust also swirled across the floor, but for some reason, the dust remained near the ground, not rising into the air to cause chaos. Standing beside the Great Zen Master, Ye Tian could feel the clean wind emanating from the old man’s body, and he no longer dared to underestimate this old man who had lived for untold years yet claimed he was no match for him.

Suddenly, the Great Zen Master spread his arms wide as if calling out to something, his voluminous kasaya sleeves dropping down, swaying in the wind just like his clothes, bulging with the breeze. In the midst of the gale, Ye Tian felt that the power within this frail old man was utterly unstoppable.

Just as the old Zen Master called out with his arms wide, the black edge of the Array that had reached the doorway stopped there and could not extend any further. It stood in stalemate with the clear wind inside the Scripture Pavilion. Outside, the specters emerging from underground continued their howling, chilling winds blowing, ghosts wailing and wolves howling—truly a spectacle of Hell on Earth.

Suddenly, the old Zen Master raised his spread right hand into the air as if summoning something,

"Buddhist Law gives rise, the Great Way is boundless;

All evil spirits of the Three Realms, be utterly annihilated!"

With a grand sweep of his hand, the right hand wrapped in infinite strength slowly descended, as if resisting an enormous force. The edges of the palm emitted a faint and gentle milky white Buddha light. As the palm pressed down, the circle of white halo also gradually expanded until it covered the entire Scripture Pavilion.

From above, the Buddha light slowly pressed down, and the ghosts that were chaotically dancing in the air were slowly subdued by this Buddha light. Those ghosts that had not fully emerged, revealing only half of their bodies, no longer desperately stretched upwards. And those who had only shown half of their heads were simply pressed forcibly into the ground, leaving no trace to be seen.

It was an absolute crushing!

With one palm strike from the Great Zen Master, all the evil ghosts and demons that had poked their heads out were forcefully pressed into the earth. Even the black Evil Spirit Array was pushed back quite a distance, its overall range significantly narrowed, and its coverage area greatly reduced.

Ye Tian watched everything in front of him with amazement. The gloomy wind was gone, the ghosts summoned from underground by the wind had disappeared, and the range of the Array had rapidly shrunk to underneath the Bodhi Tree. Thinking of the two conditions he had just agreed to with the old Zen Master, Ye Tian felt that he had short-changed himself; this old man was clearly setting a trap for him. To resolve the situation so easily, it was lucky he hadn’t agreed to a hundred conditions.

...

"Hehe, the Great Zen Master is truly formidable. The Buddha Bead Relic Conference is imminent, it’s not good to be excessive. Senior Brother, it seems your cultivation will have to wait some time."

Without waiting for anyone else to answer, the Bodhi Master unfolded his joined hands and with a gentle flick of his right index finger, a glowing seed popped out from the soil and then quietly floated in the air. The elliptical seed, brown in color and very delicate, obediently fell into the open palm of the Bodhi Master’s right hand as if it was sentient.

The wind was light, and the clouds were calm, as everything returned to peace.

Shortly after, the door of the house opened, and Jenny saw Ye Tian walking out from the entrance, his expression somewhat unnatural. It wasn’t until he slowly descended the steps that he realized he was indeed standing on the ground. Although he broke two more slabs of the stair stones this time, he felt no panic whatsoever, and he threw open his arms wide, embracing the sky, and exclaimed, "I’m still alive!"

"Where is the Great Zen Master?"

Still cautious, the old lady didn’t give Ye Tian a chance to catch his breath and asked directly.

"He must be inside the tower retrieving the Buddha Beads."

The Bodhi Master chimed in, then smiled at Ye Tian and said, "Young man, how powerful did you find the Panchen Finger? Can you handle it?"

How did he know?

Ye Tian looked at him curiously but considering that the Bodhi Tree was likely released by him, he must have divine skills to know what happened inside.

"Where is the Great Zen Master?"

The old lady asked again, and it was only then that Ye Tian said, "He told me he was retrieving the Buddha Beads and asked me to come out first."

As soon as his words fell, the Great Zen Master had already come out, his demeanor still calm, his prayer beads rotating in his hand, and he slowly descended the stairs. This time, Ye Tian noticed the steps trembling slightly, recalling that when they had entered, the stone slabs were completely motionless.

"Zen Master, did you secure the Buddha Beads well?"

"Clearly, clearly."

The Skull Master bowed to the Great Zen Master and then closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and sat in meditation. The two junior monks beside him did the same. Obviously, the Great Zen Master was not concerned, turned around, and left far from the gate, with Ye Tian following behind. Jenny helped her Master to stand up and also made their way out, smoothly closing the gate of the courtyard.
