I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1259: Master Wuhu Also Fancies This? Chapter 1258: Chapter 1259: Master Wuhu Also Fancies This? Ergouzi sauntered along with a group of people, blabbering nonsense wherever he went and scolding any monks they passed by. Despite his ludicrous words, the surrounding monks began to look at him with increasing reverence and even admiration in their eyes.

Li Xiaobai could only conclude that these bald donkeys had a real talent for filling in the blanks with their imagination. Yet, as they proceeded, he noticed something different: the atmosphere of spiritual cultivation in Heavenly Dragon Temple was worlds apart from the few cities around it. The monks here were earnestly devoted to practicing the Buddhist Law, with few distracting thoughts.

“The cultivators in this temple have been trained from childhood, passed down through generations, with few becoming monks halfway through their lives. That’s why there are far fewer monks here than in Bodhi Temple and Great Thunderclap Temple,” said Xiao Lao Di, which explained why this temple was somewhat behind the other two great temples in terms of overall strength and influence, almost as if it deliberately kept a low profile.

“If they’re all homegrown, then this task of Reverse Enlightenment is going to be tough,” murmured Li Xiaobai to himself.

A golden light flickered in the void, and an elderly monk with a rich and dignified look—wide forehead and large ears—slowly emerged.

“Amitabha, well said, well said. I am Ling Jue, one of the overseeing monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple. I have seen the esteemed visitors. Master Wuhu’s sudden visit caught us unprepared; we apologize for not greeting you further from the temple,” greeted the old monk with a benevolent smile.

“The Abbot was delighted to learn of Master Wuhu’s visit and has asked me to invite you to dine with us!” he said warmly.

Ergouzi looked askance with a distorted neck and indifferent tone, the very image of a villain in triumph. If not for the 1.5 million Sin Value floating above his head, who would have guessed that he was actually from the Buddhist Sect?
