After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 145

<!-- Before Content -->

More and more people knelt down to seek enlightenment.

In just a short time, over a hundred people had gathered, kneeling in front of Jiang Chen.

Seeing this scene, Du Ming was shocked!

He swung his Demon-Subduing Staff, striking those sitting cross-legged on the ground.

His companions were instantly awakened and glared angrily at Jiang Chen.

“Demonic monk!” more than a dozen law-enforcing monks shouted in unison.

What is a demonic monk?

<!-- Top Ads -->

The principle of using Buddhist teachings to enlighten people is to help them shed their malevolent energy, evil thoughts, and six desires, restoring their minds to the innocence of infancy.

At this point, with a little guidance, one can convert people towards goodness.

But this guidance should be positive.

If it’s negative, it can bewitch beings!

Leading people to commit great evils and enter the path of demons!

Jiang Chen first used the Six Syllable Mantra to purify the cultivators, then used the sound of Buddha to bewitch them, claiming he could bury evil and guide the good, and received the worship of the people, truly a demonic monk!

“Guard your minds and quickly form the staff formation! I will break his golden body first!” Du Ming, as if facing a great enemy, gave orders.

The other law-enforcing monks acted accordingly upon hearing this.

Jiang Chen was surrounded once again, and Du Ming stomped his right foot, leaped up and swung his Demon-Subduing Staff toward Jiang Chen’s head.

Jiang Chen glanced at him indifferently and then uttered two more golden syllables.

“Ma!”

“Ni!”

These were the second and third words of the Six Syllable Mantra.

The “Ma” syllable cleanses jealousy in the Asura path, cutting off the suffering of strife.

The “Ni” syllable cleanses ignorance and greed in the Human path, cutting off the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, death, and poverty.

Both syllables also rotated and grew, drawing the chanting of many Buddhas.

Three words of the Six Syllable Mantra had been uttered.

The three syllables hung in the sky, Buddha’s light poured down, and several Buddha-like apparitions began to emerge.

Seeing this, the hundred monks and cultivators felt even more reverence in their hearts, looking at Jiang Chen as if they were looking at the Buddha.

The two golden syllables, “Ma” and “Ni,” passed through Du Ming’s body.

His expression became dazed, his eyes dull.

After finally steadying his mind and not being bewitched by the sound of Buddha, he saw Jiang Chen looking at him and saying,

“This person is an evil obstacle in the world/ He was beyond salvation, only to be liberated!”

Hearing this, Du Ming’s scalp tingled instantly.

He looked down.

Indeed, he saw hundreds of cultivators, monks, and even his own fellow law enforcement monks all rushing toward him.

One of his companions leaped up, grabbed his ankle, and yanked him down forcefully.

Suspended in mid-air, Du Ming was already unable to move; this pull sent him crashing to the ground and created a deep pit.

What followed was a beating.

The law enforcement monks raised their Demon-Subduing Staffs and struck him repeatedly.

Beguiled by Jiang Chen, those monks took the opportunity to rush forward and kick him.

Even foreign cultivators took out their spiritual weapons and stabbed at him through the gaps in the crowd!

“Awaken, all of you!!”

Du Ming roared furiously, transforming into a golden body several zhang tall for protection.

After all, he was of the Heavenly Origin level and had studied Buddhism for many years. His roar, imbued with Buddhist teachings, awakened many people from their bewitchment.

But he had no time to rejoice.

“Ba!”

“Mi!”

“Hum!”

Jiang Chen uttered three more syllables.

“Ba” eradicates the ignorance of the animal realm, cutting off the suffering of muteness and darkness.

“Mi” purifies the greed of the hungry ghost realm, cutting off the suffering of hunger and thirst.

“Hum” removes the hatred of hell, cutting off the suffering of extreme heat and cold.

These were the last three words of the Six Syllable Mantra.

With the complete Six Syllable Mantra recited and Jiang Chen’s current Earthly Origin level combined with the superior Buddhist Sect scripture typically used by cultivators of the upper four realms, even ordinary cultivators in those upper four realms might feel a desire to be converted by him!

Lying on the ground, Du Ming’s golden light faded, and his eyes were fixed on the Six Syllable Mantra in the sky.

Gradually, he felt himself being ‘converted’ too!

“Demonic monk! I will not succumb to your will!” Du Ming suddenly bellowed.

And at the moment his words fell, his body convulsed, followed by a trickle of fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and his life force abruptly vanished.

This was death by severing his own heart meridian!

To this, Jiang Chen merely shook his head.

People of the righteous path are like this. Slightly suppressed by a villain like him, and they contemplate suicide.

Through nine cycles of reincarnation, he had been blamed for many things.

The only difference was that this time he was actively suppressing them, whereas in the nine cycles of reincarnation, those people were the ones seeking trouble with him.

With Du Ming’s death, no one else could remain conscious under Jiang Chen’s Buddhist teachings.

At this moment, within a radius of several li, the Buddha’s light emitted by the Six Syllable Mantra shone brightly, covering countless temples in a golden hue filled with the resonance of Buddhism.

“Great monk, how does one see the Buddha?” asked a cultivator who knelt in worship.

“The Buddha is in the heart,” Jiang Chen replied, glancing into the distance as he played his part.

“And where is the heart?”

“The heart is before you, your heart is with me, I am the Buddha!”

【Host’s actions conform to the villain’s character setting, reward: Superior grade Buddhist Sect secret scripture, Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!】

After a brief silence, the hundreds of completely brainwashed people bowed again in worship: “The Buddha is before us, yet we were unaware. We have sinned!”

Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction.

He suddenly understood.

Why did the monks of the Buddha Temple enjoy converting people so much?

It turns out that this feeling of toying with the minds of others is indeed quite pleasant.

He did not stop there, nor did he dispel his golden body or hand seals, but sat down with his eyes closed and legs crossed on the ground and study the newly acquired Buddhist Sect scripture in his heart.

Seeing this, the crowd did the same.

Suddenly.

“How dare you speak such nonsense!”

“You claim to be the Buddha? How shameless!”

<!-- IncontentPercentage -->

“Blasphemous demonic monk!”

“Today, even if you come from the Upper Domain, you will be executed!”

Several voices of reprimand rang out one after another.

Then, six young monks appeared in the Buddha’s light, wearing half-sleeved monk robes with large Buddhist beads around their necks.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes to look at them.

These six monks were all of the Heavenly Origin levels and judging by the Buddha’s light that almost seemed to overflow from their skin, they were undoubtedly the Six Buddha sons of the Buddha Temple.

The Six Buddha sons of the Buddha Temple were equivalent to the true disciples of other sects.

But in terms of combat power, they were much stronger than the true disciples of other first-rate sects.

Apart from the fact that Buddhism is inherently strong and positive, the main reason is that the Buddha Sons receive the blessing of Buddhist teachings and inherit the relics.

The relics are the transformed remains of the bones of the high monks of the Buddha Temple after they passed away, equivalent to a legacy.

This is also why the Six Buddha Sons were all of the Heavenly Origin level despite being around the same age as Jiang Chen.

“Demonic monk, will you not submit to execution?” one of the shorter Buddha Sons said.

“Submit to execution?”

Jiang Chen sneered in response, “Why should I submit to execution? I have three Dharma names, the first…”

“The first is ‘Song Zang (Funeral Procession)’, the second is ‘Ban Zang (Half Burial)’, the third is ‘Quan Zang (Complete Burial)’, and you come from a certain place in the Buddha realm, known as the Eastern Land? Is that correct?” another Buddha Son interjected.

This statement was meant to let Jiang Chen know.

They were aware of Jiang Chen’s background, and they were not intimidated!

Jiang Chen nodded with a defiant face.

With the intention of understanding more about Jiang Chen and to avoid provoking a powerful enemy, the leading Buddha Son asked, “What do these three Dharma names mean?”

That’s exactly the question I was waiting for!

<!-- Incontent 2 -->

Jiang Chen’s eyes brightened, and he smiled, “Those who recognize the situation, I will conduct their funerals! Those who do not recognize at first but do later, I will only bury half of their family, hence the half-bury! As for those who do not recognize the situation at all…”

“Then you will bury their entire family, which is the full burial?!” the leading Buddha Son finished his sentence.

“Exactly!”

Jiang Chen praised, looking at the person and saying, “Not bad! You’re quite insightful!”

The leading Buddha Son was speechless.
