Chapter 283 Bold monster, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!

The damage to the soul takes a very long time to recover. Twenty days have passed since Cheng Long cultivated the second soul, but his face is still as haggard as the day he cultivated the second soul.

This scared Alan, Le'er and Keren so much that they had to run home every night. Even Afang was a little absent-minded at school, worried that something might have happened to her cousin.

In order to prevent more people from worrying, Cheng Long did not go out for the past 20 days, but he called Mengna, Wenli, Piaopiao, Azhui, Cheng Min, and even Kiyoko Imamura who was far away in the island country.

The reason why I didn't give the shot to Yazi was because I couldn't hide it.

The kind sister-in-law would take one day every week to come and spend time with him.

If Yazi hadn't been worried that her cousin Alan would notice something wrong, she would have wanted to quit her job as a senior inspector and stay with her brother-in-law to take good care of him when she saw his pale face.

During this period, Wang Jianjun also contacted him and said that a group of drug dealers had been caught. However, Cheng Long did not go, but handed the matter over to Daobahong and Liu Piaopiao.

The Shura Manual can also devour the souls of living beings to enhance cultivation. As for wasting the drug dealers' blood and energy, it was only for a mere twenty or so people.

Nowadays, Cheng Long helps people improve their physical fitness, and he gives them to thirty or forty people at a time.

Half a month ago, Alan, Yazi, Cheng Le'er, and Tong Keren each obtained the essence and blood energy of thirty people. So far, Lei Zhilan has accumulated the essence and blood energy of 70 people. Her physical improvement is far ahead and in a class of its own.

Cheng Le'er, Tong Keren, like Azhui, Liu Piaopiao and others, obtained 40 portions of blood energy approximately equivalent to Captain America's physique.

Currently, only Qingzi, Zhou Wenli and Cheng Min have received 10 places, but this does not mean that Cheng Long favors one over the other. It is because they need time to adapt, and then their physical fitness will soon be improved to the level of Captain America.

Only in this way can Cheng Long enter various copy worlds for training without worrying about their personal safety.

On September 9, the cooled time-space shuttle button lit up. Cheng Long, who didn't want to worry his cousin, Alan and others, pressed the button without hesitation.

A black vortex appeared quietly, wrapped around his entire body, and quietly took him away from the spot.

……

Deep in the dark forest.

As Cheng Long took his first breath, he understood his situation.

The spiritual energy is even more abundant than that in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. It is probably a mythological world with gods, demons and monsters.

The spiritual consciousness spread out and swept across the mountains and forests.

Cheng Long discovered that the foul air in this world was much more than that in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. In just a radius of ten or twenty miles, there were three or five little demons with spiritual intelligence.

There are also many creatures that show signs of awakening their spiritual intelligence.

This is not a good sign.

"Evil" and "dark" have the same pronunciation, which means ugly and evil. It also implies that the world is unclean and the Tao is fading away and demons are growing.

If there is too much foul air in a world, it means that the creatures in that world are likely to lose their minds and commit endless killings, leading to the proliferation of monsters and evildoers.

When the foul air grows to a certain extent, evil spirits will appear and the world will be full of filth.

However, at this stage, there is just more foul air, and it is not completely filthy. The content of spiritual energy in the air is not low, and is much higher than the foul air.

This shows that the righteousness of this world can still suppress the evil ways. It may be because of the change of dynasties in the human world and the restlessness and turmoil in people's hearts, so there are so many evil spirits.

Compared with the worlds experienced in the past, this world is more suitable for cultivation.

When killing, you don't care about the foul air, turbid air and other things that immortals and Buddhas avoid. If you accidentally ingest foul air when absorbing spiritual energy, you don't need to do anything about it and can just refine it together.

"Put on the ancient costume first."

This world is different from ordinary worlds like "Swordsman" and "Biochemistry". The abundance of spiritual energy means there are many practitioners, and there may even be immortals and Buddhas.

Cheng Long, who was dressed in modern clothes, had to follow his heart and change into a spare custom-made ancient costume.

Although he looked sickly, in ancient costume, he looked like a peerless hero walking out of an ancient scroll, elegant and graceful, with an extraordinary temperament.

Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Cheng Long touched the ground with his toes, and his body rose up. Stepping on the branches and leaves of the treetops, he leaped hundreds of meters away.

Cheng Long, who has cultivated to the Yin Shen realm, is still extremely powerful even though his soul has been damaged due to splitting to cultivate the second soul. One thought can still cover dozens of kilometers.

In its prime state, it can even cover an area of ​​100 miles in radius.

Of course, forcing coverage at this point will only cause a splitting headache and the cost will outweigh the gain.

Thirty miles ahead, there was a wisp of smoke rising. Cheng Long was flying among the treetops. After running towards the village for a while, a ray of reflection suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey~~ It's a monk!"

Cheng Long turned his head and found that the source of the reflection was a young monk with a shiny forehead, who looked quite familiar.

The monk was dressed in a white cassock and holding a whisk in his hand. He had thick eyebrows as sharp as knives, a pair of eyes with a restrained gleam, and his straight facial features revealed his uprightness.

As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart. A good-looking young monk must be on the side of justice like this demon cultivator.

"Donor, it's refreshing!"

The young monk stepped on the air, walked quickly, and his body movements and skills were very advanced. In a few breaths, he overtook Cheng Long and walked side by side with him, smiling.

"Uh……"

Cheng Long was stunned, feeling more and more familiar.

"You walk briskly, breathe calmly, and your body movements are so skillful that I am ashamed of myself. Your practice has reached the pinnacle, but your face is a little pale. I wonder how many years you have practiced?"

The outgoing young monk didn't care whether Cheng Long responded or not, and just started asking on his own.

"Well, I am not talented. I have practiced for 10 to 20 years to achieve my current achievements. I am not as advanced as you, Master. I didn't notice when you came behind me. I am so ashamed!"

Cheng Long was just busy getting on his way and didn't use his spiritual sense to observe all the time, which resulted in him not noticing the monk coming behind him until he saw a reflection from his forehead.

“You’re only 10 or 20 years old?”

The monk frowned.

In his perception, Cheng Long was emitting raging demonic flames. How was it possible that this monster had only practiced for 10 to 20 years?
If that is true, then how many sins of murder must have been committed in the past twenty years to achieve this?
As for the peaceful aura emanating from Cheng Long's magic, in the eyes of the highly accomplished Buddhist and Taoist masters, their true nature could be seen at a glance, so they regarded it as a disguise.

But the more he did this, the angrier he became.

"Monk, what is your Dharma name?"

The more Cheng Long looked at the monk in front of him, the more familiar he felt, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Amitabha, I am Fahai, a poor monk, and I have come here specially to exorcise demons and monsters!"

Fahai put his palms together in front of his chest, his eyes suddenly gleaming with coldness: "You bold monster, how dare you wear human skin and pass yourself off as a real person in broad daylight? I will ask you to show your true form and see what kind of person you really are!"

"Ah this..."

Cheng Long took a breath of cold air.

From the lines and the style, it is self-evident which version of Fahai you are encountering.

"Master, this is the original form. You misunderstood."

Cheng Long quickly raised his finger and pointed to his face, wanting the other person to see more clearly.

Fahai didn't buy it, and angrily scolded: "You daring monster, you dare to lie in front of me. You can deceive others but not me. I can see at a glance that you are not human!"

"Fuck, you're not a human being!"

Cheng Long couldn't help but swear. Thinking back to when he first watched the movie "Green Snake", he thought this scene was very funny. However, when it happened to him, he realized how miserable it was for the innocent spider monster to be scolded.

"Huh~~You still dare to quibble?"

Fahai's eyes turned cold, he placed a whisk on his arm with one hand and made a seal with the other: "Great Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, Tathagata Ksitigarbha, Prajna Padma Hum, appear!" As the mantra was cast, golden light shone between Fahai's knife-like eyes.

This method is called clairvoyance, one of the six supernatural powers in Buddhism.

It is said that this supernatural power can illuminate the life and death, suffering and happiness of all beings in the three realms and six paths, and can illuminate all forms and colors in the world without any obstacles. Even a big demon that has practiced for a thousand years will have nowhere to hide under this supernatural power.

Fahai stared at the golden light, and with his divine vision, he saw a hazy shadow behind Cheng Long, and then slowly a giant figure about four or five meters tall emerged.

This figure was none other than Cheng Long's true form of the devil, at least 10 to 20 meters tall, with an extremely terrifying aura.

But this could not scare Wenlong Fahai, who was well versed in Buddhism.

until...

A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared behind Cheng Long's head.

Fahai closed his eyes subconsciously. When he opened his eyes again, a golden wheel of merit like a golden sun appeared behind Cheng Long, as if the Buddha who had accumulated infinite merit had appeared in the world.

"..."

Fahai was stunned immediately!
This monster... Oh no, who exactly is this senior brother and how come he has such a vast golden wheel of merit to protect him?

"Amitabha!"

After a few seconds, Fahai put away his magical powers, put his hands together and bowed, saying awkwardly: "Brother, you are polite. This collision was caused by me, Menglang. I didn't know that you are so wise in Buddhism and have great merits in saving the world. I am willing to admit my mistake and accept the punishment."

"Well, I'm actually... a Taoist priest."

Cheng Long originally wanted to say that he was a cultivator of magic, but considering that Fahai was a stubborn person, he changed the subject and classified himself as a Taoist.

"Buddhism and Taoism are one family. Brother, you have such great perseverance. I cannot compare to you."

Fahai looked at Cheng Long, who had put away the golden wheel of merit and returned to his normal state. Seeing that he looked pale, Fahai asked with concern, "Brother, you look pale. Is it because you have been exorcising demons and monsters, causing your soul to be disturbed? What kind of evildoer is this? How dare he hurt a brother who has infinite merits?"

"Well, it's none of other people's business. It's because I was too impatient in my practice and almost went astray."

"I see."

Fahai took out a Buddhist scripture from his arms, handed it to Cheng Long and said, "Brother, this local Tibetan scripture may help your injury. Please accept it!"

"Give me the scriptures, what are you reading?"

Cheng Long didn't expect Fahai to be so generous that he actually gave him the Buddhist scriptures he always carried with him. Judging from the name, it might be related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"This is a manuscript."

Fahai smiled slightly. He would definitely not give away the original Buddhist scriptures easily. Giving away handwritten copies to make good connections was a common practice among Buddhist disciples.

"Then I won't be polite."

Cheng Long decisively put away the scriptures and recited Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, which would help him practice, but he did not intend to practice. Instead, he prepared to give them to his second soul for practice, just in case.

Buddhism loves to cheat people the most.

I definitely can't fall into the trap easily.

"Brother, I wonder who your master is?"

Fahai was very curious about Cheng Long's identity, so he used his clairvoyance to observe and actually saw a 40-50 meter tall Dharma body of the original spirit, which looked very much like the 60 meter tall golden body of Buddhism.

"Master, during my training, my master forbade me to reveal his name, let alone mention it if I committed a crime. After I leave, I will be responsible for all consequences." Cheng Long made up a lie.

"Amitabha, I am sorry for the waste of time."

"It doesn't matter!"

The two of them talked as they walked. Cheng Long, who used to worry about getting into trouble if he met a master, felt relieved instantly after seeing Fahai's attitude after seeing the Golden Wheel of Merit.

If even a manic person like Fahai can remain calm and chat happily with me, others will definitely become quite polite.

After all, the backlash from killing a demon cultivator who has saved the world is not something that ordinary immortals or Buddhas can endure.

As they chatted, Cheng Long began to feel unhappy.

Fahai's clairvoyance was so strong that he could even see his own true form as a demon. If it were a more powerful Buddhist or Taoist master, wouldn't his underwear be exposed?
In this regard, Cheng Long could only be thankful that he had visited the biochemical copy before entering the Green Snake world, making his golden wheel of merit even more dazzling.

"It seems that I need to spend more time practicing the Breath Concealment Technique!"

Cheng Long sighed to himself.

Just as they were thinking about it, an old monk holding a Zen stick passed by, humming a song happily, looking contented. He nodded slightly to the two of them from a distance.

"Another monster?" Fahai watched the old monk leave, his face gradually turning cold.

"Why do you say 'again'?" Cheng Long's mouth twitched. It seemed that Fahai had determined from the bottom of his heart that it was a monster, but he did not dare to do anything because of the Golden Wheel of Merit.

"Uh... Senior Brother, I'll be back soon."

Fahai smiled awkwardly, then used one of the six supernatural powers of Buddhism, the divine foot power, to chase after the old monk.

"Old abbot, the wind is refreshing!"

Cheng Long: "..."

Is this Fahai’s standard way of chatting up monsters?
Should I be happy or depressed if I am tricked?
shook his head.

Cheng Long leaped up and followed lightly.

When the old monk heard Fahai's approach, he smiled and said, "Yes, young man, morning exercises are very beneficial for cultivating the inner elixir. You should also run more when you have time..."

"Senior, you have white hair and a youthful face, and you walk briskly, but your breathing is still calm and relaxed. Your practice has reached the pinnacle. May I ask how many years you have been practicing?"

"..."

Cheng Long was speechless. He said it again after saying it before, and he was still right next to him. Didn't Fahai have any sense of shame at all?
"Haha, time waits for no one. Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye." The old monk held the Buddhist beads in his hand and said with a smile: "How about you two young people, how many years have you practiced?"

"Oh, I'm ashamed. I have only been practicing for more than 20 years..." Fahai said ashamed, but there was no shame on his face, and there was even a hint of pride.

Cheng Long laughed and interrupted, "I'm about fifteen or sixteen years old."

"..."

Fahai's face froze.

The old monk looked even more incredulous.

Young people nowadays are amazing, each one is more outstanding than the other.

"Why don't you talk anymore?"

The most common thing when chatting is that the atmosphere suddenly becomes quiet. When Fahai heard Cheng Long's voice, he simply didn't bother to get close to him and jumped in front of the old monk to block his way.

"You are such a bold monster! How dare you transform into a human in broad daylight and confuse everyone? I can tell at a glance that you are not human."

"Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas..."

Seeing that Fahai was about to make trouble again, Cheng Long stepped forward to block the old monk and frowned, saying, "Fahai, don't do anything rash. The old monk's beads have Buddhist charms. He is not some monster that kills people and takes away souls."

“Brother, a monster is a monster. There is an orderly hierarchy among the four realms of gods, humans, ghosts and monsters. How could an obedient monster wander into the human world? Don’t let your compassion run wild.” Fahai was determined to capture the monster.

"..."

Cheng Long was stunned and didn't dare to protect the old monk.

It's not that he is afraid of Fahai, but he is worried about protecting the wrong monster. Although the old monk has the Buddha's influence from Lingtai Temple and his bracelet also has the Buddha's rhyme, this does not mean that the old spider has never harmed anyone!
