Chapter 182 Four-Faced Buddha
Chapter 182 Two-Faced Buddha
The two sounds of chanting merged into one. They were scriptures that Qin Baiqing could not distinguish, but both of them brought the same breath fluctuations.
The pollution that was escaping around her was also affected. She watched helplessly as the pollution that was churning due to the comfort of the woman was pressed back and retreated out of the cracks without any signs of struggle.
The pagoda was silent, the spire stood silently, and the countless monks who had passed away here were watching this scene quietly.
The long-silent pagoda is deeply polluted. Impurities from the cracks in the world come in due to the way of heaven. The Bodhi Temple attempts to suppress them silently by its own power and calm the crisis.
Countless five hundred years passed, and the situation was finally on the verge of getting out of control. Human power and Buddhist scriptures were not enough to maintain superficial peace.
In Qin Baiqing's eyes, Zhu Fu and An Shi seemed to be making their final effort.
"They," she watched quietly and asked hesitantly, "their auras are the same."
Clearly one is good and the other is evil, but the contaminated aura of the evil monk resonates with Zhu Fu from afar, and they converge into one at the edge of the eternal crack.
Blended perfectly.
"It's like they are the same person." Qin Baiqing was at a loss and looked up to Feng Budu for help.
"I didn't expect they exist like this." Feng Budu seemed to be thinking about something with a strange expression.
It's hard to tell whether he's happy or sad, but he seems to be very aware of the two people's existence.
"What is that? Do you know why Zhu Fu and An Shi are so similar?"
"Not very similar, they are actually the same person." Feng Budu rubbed her head, clicked his tongue in surprise, and then continued to explain.
"Do you know that a thought is a god or Buddha?"
Seeing Qin Baiqing nodding in confusion, he continued, "Saving all sentient beings is a Buddha, and so is the angry Vajra. It is said that the Buddha enshrined here is a two-faced Buddha, one good and one evil. The disciples call him the good and evil one."
"I don't understand!" Qin Baiqing was confused and answered crisply, admitting the geography question with confidence.
He laughed, no longer recalling the real and imaginary Buddhist temple offerings, and finally said rudely: "In short, Buddhists believe that there are two sides of good and evil in a person. These two sides exist independently, and when conditions are met, they can be separated and become two completely independent people."
"As time went on, some Buddhists who were about to die began to believe in destruction and then rebirth, and they separated good from evil on their own in order to start over, and were reborn without any pain."
At the end of the conversation, Feng Budu's tone was full of disdain and sarcasm. He seemed a little mean.
Qin Baiqing shook her head, not allowing herself to say anything bad about Feng Budu.
There must be a reason why something he doesn't like is unpleasant.
"I just didn't expect that Buddhism still has this kind of thing now, so I couldn't recognize it before."
"hiss……"
It was not until she heard Feng Budu's sigh that Qin Baiqing realized something belatedly and pulled his sleeve to remind him, "Someone said that when listening to the Guanyin song, Miss Jin Cancan said that Zhu Fu's desire was incomplete. Was it because An Shi came out of his body?"
"I guess so." Feng Budu raised his eyebrows and said with satisfaction: "The reaction is quite fast."
In the crack, An Shi was about to be swallowed by the pollution. The Buddhist scriptures floating down from above carried golden light, dispelling the pollution around him. He was no longer able to bear it. His body and soul were full of traces of pollution.
Fortunately, Jin Guang saved An Shi's sanity at the last moment, preventing him from completely falling. He took advantage of this critical moment to crawl out of the crack.
The moment he showed up, he still didn't look kind to Zhu Fu. "Mind your own business," he held the edge with one hand, revealing half of Cheng Liang's head and half of his cold face, "I am one with the pollution, so what? Do you need to be so kind to save me?"
Zhu Fu said nothing, but he visibly let out a sigh of relief. His expression, which had been serious for a long time, relaxed and returned to his usual kind and benevolent expression.
Just like that, with a good-natured smile, he leaned down under An Shi's unfriendly gaze and pulled him back from the edge of the crack.
But it was only after An Shi climbed out of the crack that they saw that he was still unwillingly stained with pollution. The pollution had gathered into large clumps, entangled with An Shi's body, and was still being uncontrollably absorbed into his body.
The pollution was shocking. Qin Baiqing's eyelids trembled, and she subconsciously took a step forward to help him purify it.
Spiritual power was brewing in Qin Baiqing's palm. She had already approached An Shi, but the moment before the spiritual power was about to touch An Shi, it was blocked unexpectedly.
After An Shi dodged, he actually attacked directly and pushed Qin Baiqing back. This time, he rejected her coldly, "No need, take back your claws."
"Hey!"
“Even more fierce!”
She withdrew her hand helplessly, pursing her lips in accusation.
Zhu Fu hurried forward to block An Shi, and it was unclear who he was trying to protect. He explained to Qin Baiqing, "You misunderstood. An Shi was just worried that there was too much pollution and you might not be able to solve it. That's why he didn't have the heart to trouble you. He meant no harm."
"His expression doesn't say that." Qin Baiqing was still sobbing and retreated back to Feng Budu, not wanting to help anymore.
"Anshita——"
"Forget it," Feng Budu interrupted Zhu Fu's attempt to make amends, put one hand on Qin Baiqing's shoulder to comfort her, and sneered, "He's not that kind."
The more you explain, the more unhappy Feng Bu Du will be.
During the time the two men were confronting each other, An Shi had already absorbed all the pollution without saying a word. After exhaling a breath of foul air, he raised his voice to attract the attention of several people.
"Instead of wasting time here, why not go out and see what the Bodhi Temple looks like now? Ahem..." He coughed twice and reminded them:
"There was such a big commotion at the pagoda, but no one came to check it out. Is that normal?"
"It's too abnormal." Qin Baiqing shook her head.
"I will stay here to guard the pagoda," Zhu Fu said without moving, clasping his hands together and shaking his head, "The cracks are causing fluctuations, so it cannot be left unattended until the elders come to take over."
"Okay, let's go." She turned around and waved, taking Feng Budu away, wanting to continue to find out the current situation of the Bodhi Temple.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the pagoda, they met a group of guards in formal attire. Their aura was so majestic that they could not be violated. After seeing Qin Baiqing and the other person, they silently retreated and made way in the middle.
"I will lead the way for the two donors." The leading monk suddenly stepped forward, chanted a Buddhist name, and walked in front to lead the two out of the pagoda.
The route was getting more and more remote, contrary to the way they came. The two looked at each other tacitly. Qin Baiqing suddenly felt it carefully, her cheeks puffed up in dissatisfaction, and she shook her head silently at Feng Budu.
The monk in front of him had a polluted aura and it was obvious that his mind had been affected.
They slowed down their pace and stopped following. The monk took a few steps before reacting. When he looked back, his expression was full of hostility, and the pollution was eager to show its traces on his body.
He paused, and suddenly made a move. The one hundred and eight Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist flew down around the two of them, forming a suppressive magic circle that trapped the two of them.
"He actually used a magic circle to suppress evil spirits. How disrespectful of us."
