Even with the Dauntless monk's mental fortitude and cultivation, he could not help but fly into a rage right now. He bellowed, "Vile spawn, why don't you split up?" His voice contained a dragon's cry. He had already used the Chant of Deva-Nāga.
For a moment, even Li Qingshan felt his mind waver. He could not help but let go of Little Ann, but he immediately composed himself again.
"Why must you be like this, abbot?"
"This is a holy land of buddhism. How dare you act like this?"
"It's been several years since I've been separated from my loved ones, so what's a hug? The abbot's heart is colored, but this disciple's heart is colorless! "Li Qingshan did not back down.
Little Ann stood beside him silently, grabbing the corner of his clothes and smiling faintly. He did not resemble the One Will that the monks remembered at all!
The Dauntless monk became even more furious. He had practised the buddhist dharma arduously for all these years, so how could he be fooled by Li Qingshan's half-baked words?
At this moment, a voice rang out from the back of the mountain. "Damned brat, you've come to Great Buddha mountain, yet you don't even come greet your master first. You only care about fooling around on the mountain. Why don't you get your ass over here?"
"Yes, master! Abbot, I'll be taking my leave first! "
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. He clasped his hands and left the hall, making his way to the back of the mountain. Little Ann followed closely behind.
Even though it had been a few years since they last saw each other, and they had gone through their own experiences, even their appearances had changed quite a bit. However, the current situation was no different from the past.
The Unraging monk laid on the stone tablet of the Demon Suppression hall with his chest and stomach bared. He looked at Li Qingshan with a smile, filled with relief. His disciple had worked so hard. As his master, he felt honoured too!
However, when he saw Little Ann behind him, his relief turned into some helplessness!
Over the past few years, Little Ann's name had basically shaken up Great Buddha mountain. Whether it be his buddhist scriptures, his debate, or even his cultivation speed, coupled with his talent for battle, he had completely surpassed regular people. He had become the most powerful star of hope in the history of the monastery.
After undergoing the second heavenly tribulation and condensing a śarīra, she had even become a figure of great influence in the monastery. Li Qingshan was close to thirty years old, while she was only in her early twenties. Even the reincarnated living buddhas of tantric buddhism were not so powerful!
Originally, the evaluation of her was that she was very confident in becoming a Monk King, but now, the evaluation had already been changed to having the potential to ascend. If it were not for the fact that she was a woman, she would definitely be the next abbot of the monastery. Right now, if anyone was bold enough to touch her, even the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would throw their lives at them.
In other words, Li Qingshan was the Unraging monk's disciple, so he was technically a part of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. He was also a startlingly talented prodigy. Otherwise, if a man were bold enough to try hugging her in front of the grand hall on top of Great Buddha, even if they were a prince of the empire, the Dauntless monk would definitely fall out with them and spill their blood all over Great Buddha mountain.
"Thank you for helping me out, master!"
Li Qingshan said. If it were not for the Unraging monk's support, he would have never gone against the Dauntless monk out of his mind. Did he really think the Dauntless monk was someone to be trifled with?
"As long as you understand!" the Unraging monk said in exasperation.
"The Dauntless abbot has gone too far. If I hadn't agreed, would Little Ann have come to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga to become your disciple? Look at you now. You have a genius disciple, and it's even a buy one get one free deal with me as a bonus, yet you're actually thinking about burning the bridge after you've outlived your usefulness. Do you still want us to go out and chop people up for the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga in the future!? "
Li Qingshan said with "righteous indignation" before turning to Little Ann. "Little Ann, don't you think so?"
Little Ann smiled resplendently and nodded gently.
Even Li Qingshan was taken aback by her momentary radiance. He sighed emotionally. "It's been a few years since I last saw her, and this girl's looks really are getting stronger and stronger. The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty really is impressive!"
Afterwards, he turned around and continued to look at the Unraging monk. He did not feel like he had been seduced at all.
Even the Unraging monk, a monk who ate meat and drank alcohol, who did not adhere to conventional etiquette, still felt the corner of his eye twitch when he heard what Li Qingshan said. He suddenly bellowed out, "Tsk, you damned brat! The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga is a holy land of buddhism, not some gang of the jianghu! Who wants you to chop people up?"
"That's exactly what I meant. Please pass on this to the abbot. As long as he doesn't make things difficult for us anymore, he wants us to guarantee that we'll contribute to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga in the future and add to its glory! The buddha has said that you can't force anything, much less become attached to it … "
Li Qingshan had absolutely no interest in the true buddhist dharma, but he had read quite a lot of things like chicken soup for the soul in his past life. He could pick up most of the tones and tones of the various masters and eminent monks in there.
"Shut your mouth! If you mention the word 'buddha' again, I'll kill you with a single palm strike! "The Unraging monk sat up.
"Master, you've violated the precepts of anger. Aren't you Unraging? Alright, alright, alright. I'll stop talking! "
"It's true that we're fated, but I just feel like there'll be a day when you bring me an overwhelming disaster, brat!"
The Unraging monk let out a long sigh. He had watched over the Demon Suppression hall for many years, so he actually understood that Li Qingshan's words were crude, but they were not crude at all. If just lecturing on the scriptures and dharma could deliver everyone from suffering, what was the point of having abilities? The buddha is merciful, and it also needs a guardian to purge daemons and demons!
To put it bluntly, it was no different from a gang of the jianghu. Where there were people, there would be conflict, let alone the fact that the cultivation community was not limited to just people. You could choose not to chop people up, but if you lacked the power to chop people up, you would be close to death.
Now that the world was in chaos, the demonic cultivators and heretics hiding in the Cloud, Mist, Frost, and Thunder provinces beyond the five central provinces were ready to make a comeback at any time. If the two of them could work together and work wholeheartedly for the monastery, it would be equivalent to gaining two pillars of support, and they would definitely become more and more important.
As a result, even with the Dauntless monk's decisiveness, he did not mention punishing the two of them in the grand hall Just Now. Discipline was important, but survival was what mattered most. If he could force two genius disciples to develop grudges and fall out with him because of a few words, then he would have a huge problem as the abbot!
The Unraging monk had summoned Li Qingshan to the back of the mountain to give his senior brother a way out of this embarrassing situation!
"I'll take responsibility for what I've done. If there are any disasters, I've always shouldered them all by myself!"
Li Qingshan said vehemently. Even when he was hunted to death by the Dragon King Of The Sea, he did not try to rely on anyone. He made it through with his own strength.
Suddenly, he felt someone tug at his sleeve. Looking back, Little Ann pouted slightly, rather displeased.
Li Qingshan rubbed her head with a smile. "And my Little Ann will shoulder it for me too. If we work together, there's nowhere we can't reach!"
Only then did Little Ann smile in satisfaction.
The Unraging monk said, "What you said is reasonable, but senior brother doesn't have his own concerns too! For your cultivation and for the monastery's reputation! "
Li Qingshan said, "He just thinks too much about us. If Little Ann were a man, he wouldn't be so suspicious."
The Unraging monk shook his head and glanced at Little Ann. With her appearance alone, if she were a man, the Dauntless monk would probably find it even more difficult to put up with her!
"I'll talk to senior brother about this. Your Demon Suppression Statuary has begun to embark on the right path too, so why don't you show it to me?"
As someone who also practised the Demon Suppression Statuary, the Unraging monk could vaguely sense the demon qi in Li Qingshan's body.
"Alright!"
Li Qingshan stood up and backed away. His eyes suddenly turned scarlet-blue, covered by a curved visor. His entire body surged with demon qi as he assumed his Demon Commander form.
He had comprehended the first seven layers of the Demon Suppression Statuary, but right now, he could only unleash the fifth or sixth layer. During the past few days he had spent in the monastery, he had attempted to continue cultivating, but he discovered that even with the support of his endless, powerful demonic nature, his cultivation speed could not avoid slowing down. If he wanted to truly master the nine layers of the Demon Suppression Statuary, he would probably need to undergo the third heavenly tribulation.
"Did you really undergo the second heavenly tribulation a few days ago?"
The Unraging monk asked. He knew that Li Qingshan practised a cultivation method called the Arts of the Boundless Ocean. He planned on converting his cultivation to the Demon Suppression Statuary after condensing a golden core. This was also the same path he had taken in the very beginning, merging his śarīra with his demon heart.
Originally, he thought Li Qingshan had only just begun treading this path, but from the posture he displayed right now, he had clearly succeeded, completing the conversion of his cultivation method and cultivation. This was not something that could be achieved in just a few weeks.
"I won't hide it from you, master. I condensed an Ocean pearl a few years ago, which is also known as a golden core. I was just afraid of Si Qing's revenge, so I've always kept it a secret!"
"I see. I should have thought of that a long time ago!"
The Unraging monk shook his head with a bitter smile. Undergoing the second heavenly tribulation before the age of thirty was already startling. Who would have thought he had already kept this news a secret for several years? His talent was no less than Little Ann's. Little Ann was under the guidance of the Dauntless monk and the other masters in the monastery, but he had completely relied on himself. Such cultivation speed was truly startling.
The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga really was blessed by the buddha for accepting these two disciples. They were quite fortunate!
"Aren't you afraid of Si Qing's revenge now?"
"I've already made my preparations. I want to go to the South Sea commandery for training!"
"Since it's all within your plans, then I won't say anything more!"
Said the Unraging monk. This disciple of his had brought him far too many surprises, and he had always been meticulous and well-prepared. Even if it was a dangerous place like the South Sea commandery, he was not too worried. As long as he did not run into third heavenly tribulation experts, he would not be in any danger.
"I want to take Little Ann to the Mist province with me!" said Li Qingshan.
"That's impossible. Senior brother will never let him go!" The Unraging monk said firmly, "Do you know just how many demonic cultivators are hiding in the Mist province? There are even large sects no weaker than the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. Just how many attacks will a head monk of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga attract if he goes there? "
"It's exactly because there's danger that we have to go together!"
Li Qingshan said. As long as he had some time and his strength completely recovered, so what if he ran into third heavenly tribulation experts? Moreover, he believed that with Xiao An's current strength, he would definitely be able to help him.
He just happened to require an environment filled with danger so that the tiger demon could break through to the fifth layer through battle after battle so that Little Ann could obtain even more so that he could continue his cultivation of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty!
"I still haven't mastered the Chant of Deva-Nāga, but I've already memorized it firmly. I don't need to stay in the monastery to cultivate it. I'll go talk to the Dauntless abbot!"
Little Ann, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly said. Unwavering determination flashed through his eyes! It had been far, far too long since they parted. This time, he had to be by his side no matter what!
The Unraging monk said, "Alright then!" He changed the topic. "Qingshan, are you ready to explore the Demon Suppression hall again?"
