As soon as Ye Chen said that.
Wisdom King's gaze paused for a moment before he regained his previous composure. "As the saying goes, life and death are decreed by fate, and riches and honor are determined by the heavens. Everyone is destined to die the moment they strike, and how they die. This is fate, and also the Heavenly Dao! "
He shook his head with a faint smile. "Since it's the Heavenly Dao, why should we care? Furthermore, greed, aversion, and delusion are the three poisons that cause people to sink into the cycle of life and death. They are the root of evil! "
As he spoke to this point, he shifted the topic back to Ye Chen, "On the other hand, you indulged your greed, anger, and obsession. You released your sins and killed wantonly. Such actions are no different from self-exile."
"You're lecturing me now!" Ye Chen could not help but laugh.
"It's not a lesson, it's advice!"
Wisdom King nodded slightly, his expression extremely benevolent. "If you want to become a Buddha, you have to subdue this heart. Your actions are very different from it. One day, you will be plagued by evil spirits and negative karma and walk down the path of self-destruction."
"It can be said that we are fated to meet today. If you are willing to make the decision to eliminate the disaster, I can allow you to meditate in my temple for a month to resolve the evil aura in your body."
"This Penniless Monk can also let you read the scriptures of my temple. My Kongobu-ji Temple dates back to the era of Emperor Saga. It has been 1,400 years since then. During this period, there have been countless Buddhist masters who have left behind countless Buddhist scriptures that contain great wisdom."
He shook his head, as if he was showing off, as if he was trying to entice him. "For example, the founder of our temple, Grandmaster Kong Hai. He left behind a peerless scripture that will definitely help you!"
"I wonder what price I have to pay?" Ye Chen gave a short response. There was no expression on his face at all.
Kongobu-ji wasn't just a holy land for Japanese Buddhism. It was also famous internationally. Countless devotees wanted to come in and take a look.
Not to mention the peerless scripture left behind by Hongfa Master Kong Hai.
"You don't have to pay!"
However, Wisdom King shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, along the way, countless experts have died at your hands. If you convert to Buddhism, it means that countless people will be saved in the future. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. This Penniless Monk's actions may seem unrequited, but it's actually a great deed of kindness!"
"Where is the peerless scripture? Why don't you let me take a look? "Ye Chen stood up and said.
"Sure!"
Kong Hai slowly got up and walked to the back of the Buddha statue. He took out a sandalwood box. The box was only the width of a palm and was covered in dust. It looked like it had been around for a long time.
"This is the Doctrine of Instant Buddhahood. It was personally written by Master Kong Hai, and there are also Master Kong Hai's notes and experiences on it. If you read it, you'll definitely benefit endlessly!"
He passed the sandalwood box to Ye Chen slowly.
Ye Chen took it and was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he studied it carefully. However, Wisdom King reminded him without batting an eyelid, "Sir, you must not be distracted. You must know that a thought can lead to heaven and hell. Hurry up and open the sandalwood box to read the scripture!"
However, Ye Chen suddenly laughed out loud, "Old monk, you're really vicious!"
"What do you mean?"
King Ming's expression changed slightly. "I lent you the peerless scripture out of goodwill. It's fine if you don't understand it, but in the end, you're saying that I have evil intentions?"
"Please put away your fake compassionate face!!!"
Ye Chen smirked coldly and interrupted him, "First, you invited me into the temple, then you asked me to take a seat and served me tea. Everything you did was extremely warm. You're just trying to lower my guard!"
"When you saw that my guard was almost down, you instilled some evil thoughts about evil aura and negative karma into me. Your goal is to lure this sandalwood box out, right?"
The moment that was said, Wisdom King's expression changed drastically. He could not help but take a step back and said stubbornly, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Ye Chen said again, "If I'm not mistaken, there's something mysterious in this box, right? Are you planning to use it to plot against me? "
As soon as he finished speaking.
A black gleam and fierceness suddenly flashed across Wisdom King's eyes. Then, he laughed, "Mad Southern Ye, looks like I've really underestimated you. It's not an injustice for Yagyu Aida and the other two to die in your hands!
However, I'm more curious about how you saw through me. "
He glared at Ye Chen!
Ever since Ye Chen entered the temple, he thought that he had disguised himself well. It could be said that there were no flaws at all!
"How can your sneaky tricks fool my eyes?"
Ye Chen scoffed coldly, "Most importantly, I've never taken you seriously since the beginning. I don't believe in Buddhism or any bullsh * t negative karma!"
"Hahaha!"
Wisdom King's face twitched slightly, then he laughed out loud, "Very good, very good, you guessed it right!"
His face was no longer as kind as before. There was only endless hostility, "However, you still haven't guessed one thing!"
"Oh? What is it? "Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged.
"That's the tea that you drank earlier!"
Wisdom King smirked sinisterly. He looked at Ye Chen as if he was looking at a dead man, "There's a strange place in the west called the Garden of Gods. It's said that the gods of the west are buried there. There's a plant that grows on the corpses. It blooms and bears fruit one night and withers the next.
"Every time this plant blooms, it will be very beautiful. It will emit an incomparable fragrance. Then, countless strange insects will fly over and attach themselves to it, sucking the flower dew.
"Apart from sucking the flower dew, one of the insects can also enter a person's body through their skin and suck their soul!"
At this point, Wisdom King smirked coldly, "Unfortunately, the tea you drank earlier was made from that flower, and the box in your hand contains that insect!"
As he was speaking, he heard a crisp sound.
Kacha!
A hole the size of a thumb appeared in the sandalwood box in Ye Chen's hand.
At the next moment!
A insect as thick as a middle finger and long as a finger flew out of the hole. The insect looked a little like a butterfly, and its body was colorful. However, as soon as it appeared, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped.
Seeing this, Wisdom King immediately laughed gloatingly, "Mad Southern Ye, so what if you're the East Asia No. 1? So what if you're as smart as a ghost? You've still fallen for my trick! "
He seemed to have seen Ye Chen's fate after his soul was devoured.
However, the expression on his face froze in the next moment.
The monkey on Ye Chen's body shoved the worm into its mouth with a swoosh and started chewing it. It looked at him pitifully after it was done.
"H-How is this possible?!"
Wisdom King screamed at the top of his lungs as if he had seen a ghost.
What he did not know was that the monkey was a Weeping Soul Beast. In terms of the ability to devour souls, everything in the world was nothing in front of the Weeping Soul Beast.
"Take a look at this again."
Ye Chen chuckled softly and opened his palm slowly. He was holding a pot of tea in his palm. It did not show any signs of falling.
It was the tea that he had drunk earlier.
"Y-You …" Wisdom King was in disbelief.
Ye Chen took a step forward, "If I'm not mistaken, you've killed the Demon Blade Muramasa, right? You have my things too, right?! "
