Chapter 934: Chapter 931: Buddhist True Words

"The Buddhist incantations, if wielded skillfully, can strengthen the body and purify the mind, heal injuries and ailments, far surpassing the precision surgeries performed by intelligent robots. Perhaps the old master can bring a miracle to Mr. Yun," Lin Tian said calmly.

As Lin Tian spoke, the old master had already sat down on the broad bench and then recited: "When encountering someone ill, may all beings realize the emptiness of the body and leave the illusions of purity behind."

After a brief pause, the old master formed a hand seal, with his left thumb pinching the middle finger, palm facing up, and the right thumb similarly pinching the middle finger, palm facing down, both hands joined together.

As the hand seal was formed, the old master’s lips began to move, and a stream of chanting spilled from his mouth.

"?Om, shri li do, shri li do, junda li, svaha..."

Lin Tian could discern the phonetics of the scripture, yet didn’t understand its meaning at all, for the old master was chanting in ancient Sanskrit. Not only him, but almost none of those present understood, except for Zi Yan, who seemed deep in thought.

Lin Tian turned his head to look at Zi Yan, feeling a bit surprised. Could his senior sister even understand ancient Sanskrit? Last time, she managed to decipher the inscriptions of the Nine Needle Technique, which was already impressive, but now it seemed she could also comprehend ancient Sanskrit.

"Junior brother, don’t look at me like that. I only know a little ancient Sanskrit," Zi Yan said modestly.

As if, Lin Tian felt he was becoming increasingly unable to see through Zi Yan, just like with Zhang Lingyu; both women shrouded in a layer of mystery, making it hard to discern their true nature.

"Can senior sister decipher its meaning?" Lin Tian asked.

"Have you heard of the Great Compassionate Mantra? Or the Six-character Great Brightness Mantra? The old master is chanting a Buddhist incantation of a kind, called the Healing Spell, though it seems a bit different," Zi Yan replied.

Just as Zi Yan finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to vibrate suddenly, and it wasn’t only Lin Tian who felt it; everyone in the hall sensed it too.

The renowned doctors had no idea what was happening, looking around in confusion like ducks startled by thunder.

The tremor only appeared briefly and vanished when people tried to feel it carefully. Lin Tian and Zi Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes before simultaneously turning their gaze to the old master.

As Lin Tian looked at the old master, the vibration in the air reappeared, this time more pronounced and lasting longer, and finally the crowd discovered the cause of the air’s tremor.

They observed that whenever the old master uttered certain syllables, the air would vibrate in response, leaving the crowd slack-jawed in astonishment.

"What’s going on? Could this monk be a realized high monk with mana?" a physician asked in disbelief.

"It’s said that true realized high monks cause phenomena to appear when chanting, I never thought it was true."

The murmurs among the crowd grew louder, but instead of drowning out the old master’s chanting, the chaotic commotion was gradually overtaken by it, rendering everyone speechless in the end.

The old master’s chanting continued unabated, clearly only one person chanting, yet to the crowd, it sounded as if thousands of monks were reciting in unison, filling the entire hall with the sound of the scriptures.

The air in the hall quivered in rhythm, seemingly responding to the chant, or perhaps becoming a part of the chant itself.

Lin Tian had witnessed the chanting of the old Zen master at Fanyin Temple before, so he was not as shocked as the others. He quickly turned his clairvoyant gaze toward the scene before him, witnessing yet another extraordinary sight.

A halo of faint light shimmered behind the old master’s head, rhythmically broadening with his chanting.

This light was pure and majestic, and Lin Tian even felt a slight suppression, though a thought made this suppression vanish immediately.

He quickly understood the reasoning behind it. Being a zombie, Lin Tian belonged to the yin and demonic class, while the light behind the old master’s head was akin to Buddha Light, representing the opposition between light and darkness.

If it were an ordinary zombie, encountering the old master’s "Buddha Light," it would undoubtedly be exposed for what it was, but since practicing the latter half of the beast skin cultivation technique, Lin Tian found such restraints on zombies increasingly negligible.

The sun was the nemesis of zombies, yet now not only could Lin Tian bask in the sun like a normal person, but he could also absorb its essence, something unimaginable to any Demon Exorcist.

Grasping this, Lin Tian switched his clairvoyant gaze to Mr. Yun. The others were merely affected by the resonance of the chant, but Mr. Yun was receiving it directly.

With the chanting, Mr. Yun’s skin vibrated slightly, causing the blood and energy beneath his muscles to resonate. Mr. Yun, with his advanced age, displayed the characteristics of sunset, lacking the vigor of youth.

Many of his capillaries were already blocked, preventing his blood from properly nourishing his skin, leading to the natural aging and sagging of the elderly, an irreversible natural law through medicine.

Yet, under the impetus of the old master, Mr. Yun’s blood and energy suddenly became vibrant, and Lin Tian could even feel the lively vitality.

However, Lin Tian knew this was merely an appearance; Mr. Yun’s blood and energy rejuvenated to youthful vitality due to the old master’s blessing.

Once the old master ceased his chanting, Mr. Yun would revert to his original state, for birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws beyond human reversal.

The chanting’s blessing couldn’t make Mr. Yun rejuvenate, but this vitality and the old master’s "Buddha Light" were nemesis to yin and death entities. Mr. Yun’s root illness was caused by yin energy, perfectly countered by the old master.

Lin Tian’s gaze penetrated to the marrow of Mr. Yun’s legs, indeed finding his leg marrow enveloped in a mass of black energy. It was due to the infiltration of this yin energy that Mr. Yun’s legs were lifeless, unable to walk.

Observation from the day before showed the yin energy to be almost still, yet now it seemed stimulated, writhing like a living being. Clearly, the yin energy encountered its nemesis, prompting a reaction.

However, such natural oppositions function reciprocally, like water and fire. Water can douse fire, it’s water overcoming fire, but inversely, fire can heat and evaporate water, indicating fire overcoming water.

Which overcomes which depends on dominance. Initially, the yin energy was caught off guard and was suppressed below the knees by the old master. Yet once the yin energy began to writhe, it resisted the old master’s oppression.

Even so, Mr. Yun felt a release in his thighs, feeling much better, involuntarily smiling.

"The Master’s mana is indeed powerful; I feel significantly better," Mr. Yun said happily, impressed by the old master’s abilities.

The other renowned doctors were equally astonished; the old master merely recited incantations, yet Mr. Yun’s condition genuinely improved.
