Chapter 2377: Chapter 2397: Buddhist Verse Continues Life_1

Facing the question from Xuan Neng Heshang, the monk was silent and simply walked slowly outside.

Xuan Neng Heshang had no choice but to step forward and block the monk’s path.

His strength was obviously much inferior to that of this mad monk, he could definitely not stop him, but who asked him since the monk belonged to Buddhism?

He had kidnapped a disciple from Dragon Mountain Sect, and not just any disciple, but the newly accepted disciple of the number one powerhouse of Dragon Mountain Sect, Master Floating Cloud. If something were to go wrong, how could Dragon Mountain Sect let the matter rest?

The mad monk didn’t stop his steps, walking straight towards Xuan Neng Heshang.

One step!

Xuan Neng Heshang’s face suddenly changed, with beads of sweat instantly rolling down from his forehead.

Another step.

Xuan Neng grunted, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Master, you..."

With the third step taken by the mad monk, Xuan Neng Heshang’s words were suddenly cut off, and he was sent flying like a cannonball.

Upon seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

This person really was crazy.

Even attacking his own people?

This strength was too terrifying, wasn’t it? Without even making a move, just these three steps, and the immensely strong Xuan Neng was injured and sent flying!

Liuyun exclaimed angrily, "Master Kurong, let go of our sect’s disciple!"

The willow tree went insane in an instant, thousands of willow branches whipped towards them, some stabbing towards the mad monk like spears, while others coiled towards Lin Chen.

Master Kurong slightly parted his palmed hands, and a burst of golden radiance flew out, shooting directly at the willow tree above Liuyun’s head.

Countless willow branches attacked the golden radiance, but as soon as they touched it, they were instantly shattered.

The golden light was not strong, but it was unstoppable, crushing thousands of branches along the way and eventually striking the willow tree.

The once luxuriantly green giant willow tree instantly dimmed and shrunk considerably, Liuyun turned pale, grunted with pain, evidently wounded.

Master Kurong waved his sleeve with a backward sweep, and instantly all the willow branches extending towards Lin Chen hit an invisible wall, all being stopped mid-air.

Master Kurong grabbed Lin Chen with one hand, took a step and had already disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Lin Chen felt his entire body restrained by an invisible force, unable to move or speak, and the sight of the deliriously mad monk easily injuring Liuyun shocked him immensely.

He was too strong.

Why was he so unlucky? He had just woken up from the dreamscape where he had comprehended the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics, only to be kidnapped.

This time, no one could save him!

Lin Chen saw the scenery change before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he was far from the Three Teachings Camp, and shortly after, far from Moon God Island, appearing over the vast ocean.

After a while, not knowing how far they had left Moon God Island, Master Kurong, holding Lin Chen, appeared on a not-so-large deserted island.

The island was small, so small that one glance could cover the entire island. There were no inhabitants, just a desolate island in the sea.

Lin Chen was dumped on the ground, and then he felt that he could move again.

Lin Chen gasped for air, hastily climbing up from the ground.

Master Kurong just stood opposite Lin Chen, his gaze fixed directly on him, his eyes filled with a wild and delirious look.

Lin Chen knew that against Master Kurong, his own strength was akin to having none. To survive and escape, it would ultimately depend on whether he was willing to let him go. Otherwise, if he wanted to kill him, probably a single glance would suffice.

"Lin Chen, a disciple of Dragon Mountain Sect, greets the master."

Master Kurong stared at Lin Chen, "You are a Taoist, why do you understand Buddhism?"

Lin Chen said awkwardly, "I’m not a native of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, I come from a small world. We also have Buddhism there, and what I mentioned before is also what I’ve heard from others."

Master Kurong’s gaze seemed to turn dangerous in an instant, "You don’t understand Buddhism?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I’ve only heard some Buddhism verses, I don’t really study them myself..."

Master Kurong said coldly, "Buddhism verses? Let’s hear them. If they’re good, I won’t kill you. If they’re not, you die."

Lin Chen felt helpless, who could blame him when others were more powerful?

Reason with a madman?

Have you not seen him beating up his own disciples?

Lin Chen’s brain whirred as he quickly responded, "Bodhi has no tree, nor the stand a mirror bright. Since all is void, where can the dust alight?"

Master Kurong’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he repeated it after Lin Chen, a contemplative look in his eyes.

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief, as he wasn’t a Buddhist, how could he understand any Buddhist scriptures or verses? What he could remember was only the widespread ones on the internet.

If he couldn’t bluff Master Kurong with these, wouldn’t he be doomed?

Watching Master Kurong deep in thought, Lin Chen started to ponder whether he could escape by taking advantage of the moment and earth escaping into the bottom of the island, then using water escape to flee.

Just as this thought emerged, Lin Chen subconsciously remembered the seemingly bottomless abyss he had seen before at the Camp.

No!

This mad monk was too powerful, and a single punch from him could probably shatter the ground. If he earth escaped underground, he would likely be directly crushed to death, not even needing a burial.

What to do then?

If he fled and entered the Tower right away, could he withstand the adversary’s attack?

The Linglong Tower could isolate his life’s breath, but could it escape the sweep of the other’s Divine Sense?

As Lin Chen was contemplating, the mad monk had already looked up again.

"That was not bad, continue," he said.

Lin Chen’s scalp tingled, didn’t you monks like to turn a question upside down, dissecting it thoroughly? Such a meaningful Buddhist verse, and you figured it out just like that in such a short time?

Lin Chen inwardly complained, but he had to continue regardless.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, sensation, notion, impulse, consciousness, are also thus."

After a while, Master Kurong opened his eyes again, "Good, another one."

"If living beings’ minds, recall Buddha, think of Buddha; They will surely see Buddha, now and in the future."

"All phenomena are illusions, all conditionally arisen things are like dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew or lightning. They should be viewed in this way."

"One flower one world, one grass one Heaven, one leaf one Tathagata, one grain of sand one pure land, one side a paradise, one smile one karmic bond."

As Lin Chen recited each verse of the Buddha, panic began to stir in his heart.

He couldn’t help it, he was out of words!

The verses he had just spoken were the hottest ones on the internet, the kind that anyone could recite a few lines of, but he couldn’t go any deeper than that.

If he had even a slight understanding of Buddhism, he would at least be able to recite a complete version of the Heart Sutra or even the Diamond Sutra, but he didn’t know any.

When Master Kurong’s gaze fell on Lin Chen’s face again, it shifted from calm, to expectant, and then to disappointed. Sweat formed on Lin Chen’s forehead.

"Is that all? Just these? They sound very Zen-like, but they are incomplete. Since that is the case, you are of no use..."

Lin Chen’s heart contracted suddenly, preparing to fight for his life while he shouted, "The sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and there is the shore, lay down the butcher knife, and become Buddha on the spot!"
