I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense
/ I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1241 – Chapter 1241 Chapter 1242 The Strongest Counter
Chapter 1241: Chapter 1242: The Strongest Counter-Plot Chapter 1241: Chapter 1242: The Strongest Counter-Plot Li Xiaobai and Xiao Lao Di and others whispered for a moment, their eyes and those of the beasts with them all shone as they heard an absolutely brilliant plan!
“Let's move, let's talk more once we're in the Western Continent Buddha Nation!”
Ergouzi said excitedly, leading the charge with small, quick steps into the territory of the Buddha Country, white smoke curling from the corners of his mouth as Huazi was inhaling it fervently.
“It's a bit risky, but indeed a good method. My identity will just be perfect to escort and protect you. However, let's get one thing straight: the resources we earn must be split equally!”
Xiao Lao Di nodded, his small beady eyes looking cunning.
Ji Wuqing nodded, “Indeed, everyone gets twenty-five percent!”
“No problem, rest assured, when have I, Li Xiaobai, ever cheated you guys!”
Li Xiaobai said with a beaming smile as they walked into the territory of the Buddha Country, the surrounding scenery turned golden, green mountains and clear waters all covered with a layer of Buddhist aura. It was the thick Power of Faith, so substantial it could be seen with the naked eye.
This is the fundamental essence that the Buddhist Sect has been accumulating for thousands of years without dissipating. Under such concentrated Power of Faith, the cultivators within the Buddha Country must be thoroughly brainwashed. Attempting to chip away at their loyalties here would probably require quite an effort.
Ergouzi was leading the way, followed by Li Xiaobai and Ji Wuqing, with Xiao Lao Di covering the rear. The group kept in formation heading towards a small town on the outskirts of the Buddha Nation. The core area falls within the influence of the Great Thunderclap Temple, and it was not yet wise to make direct contact with them. They intended to follow a strategy akin to encircling the cities from the rural areas.
Half an hour later.
Buddha Nation, in the outskirts, outside of Golden Wheel City.
Ergouzi circulated the Immortal Yuan Power within his body, and above his head, a string of golden numbers appeared.
“Merit Value: One Million!”
“Holy shit, when did this damn dog's Merit Value skyrocket to a million?”
Li Xiaobai and Ji Wuqing's eyes were filled with astonishment; they remembered that the last time they met, this fellow's Merit Value was just over fifty thousand. They had not seen him perform religious recitations on ordinary days, so how did it jump to a million?
“A dog with a million Merit Value…”
Xiao Lao Di stared intently at Ergouzi, as if he had discovered a new world. In the Buddhist Sect, monks who could reach this number were few and far between, not even enough to fill one hand. And now a dog could reach this realm?
And judging by the other's usual behavior, he didn't seem like such a good figure. How could he become a monk with a million Merit Value?
“I, as a child of Buddha, count Merit Value as nothing more than a trifle, easily obtained!”
Ergouzi boasted as he swaggered towards the city gate.
Monks around them couldn't help but turn their heads, staring agape. They've actually encountered a dog with a million Merit Value, what's happening with this world?
“Am I seeing things?”
“Why do I see a golden gleam above that dog's head?”
“A million Merit Value, this is a divine dog with a million Merit Value!”
“Speaking of which, I heard a month ago that in the Great Thunderclap Temple, there emerged a master with five hundred thousand Merit Value, also a divine dog, could they be of the same kind?”
“What I'm more curious about is how many good deeds must be done, how many scriptures must be recited to accumulate such an amount of Merit Value!”
The monks looked at Ergouzi with eyes full of shock; despite their tireless recitation of scriptures, they themselves only had tens of thousands of Merit Value. In the Pure Land of the Buddhist Sect, breaking a hundred thousand Merit Value could win someone recognition as a wise figure.
Looking at the entire Buddhist Sect, only the abbots and masters of big temples could reach a million Merit Value, and they could be counted on one hand, each of them having profound insights into Buddhist teachings.
Now the fact that a dog could have such Merit Value makes them feel like they've spent their lifetimes practicing Buddhist Law only for it to end up on a dog.
Damn, that's screwed up, I've seen it all now!
“Woof!”
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Monk Nicholas Ergouzi. Recently, by a stroke of luck, I've broken through a million merit points. Starting today, I'll travel on foot throughout the Buddha Nation, spreading the teachings of Buddhism to all and to witness the moment when my merit value breaks through ten million!”
“Those who wish to know how to quickly acquire merit can follow me into the city. I am willing to guide the entire Jinlun City to enlightenment!”
Ergouzi started shouting with his gruff voice, heading towards the city and immediately drawing the attention of a large number of monks to follow.
“Nicholas Ergouzi?”
“This name doesn't seem like it's from monks of the Western Continent. Could he be a cultivator from the exotic borderlands?”
“Amitabha, monks from all over the world are one and the same. Now that Master Nicholas is willing to spread the teachings and help us cultivators to overcome difficulties, it is indeed a great virtue. We should follow him!”
“Indeed, as the saying goes, 'Teachings are divinely bestowed and apply to all.' As disciples of the Buddhist Sect, we should cast away all worldly thoughts and not judge by appearances!”
“Good!”
“Very good!”
Ergouzi's words excited all the monks. They didn't care whether he was a person or a dog; his merit of a million could not be faked. Such a master with profound understanding of Buddhism was willing to guide them to enlightenment and let the world witness his cultivation. This was a major event that could shake the Buddhist community!
As expected of a master, a million merit points were still not satisfying to him, and he began to seek out ten million merit points. They had to take a good look at how these merit points could be acquired, as they too might become revered masters in a few years!
Li Xiaobai walked beside Ergouzi, looking back at the increasing number of cultivators following them, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips. The plan was going smoothly; the cultivators really did follow, and word of mouth spread. With a million merit points as bait, bystanders were quickly converted.
But all of this was just a preliminary gimmick. What followed was the real bombshell.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ergouzi paraded through half the city, followers now stretching as far as the eye could see, a veritable sea of humanity.
When they reached the central area of the city, an open space, Ergouzi stopped and cleared his throat.
“You must be very curious about how I cultivated a million merit points. As a successful individual, I can say responsibly that routine cultivation, reciting scriptures, and studying the classics are all just armchair strategies with minimal effect. To truly understand the depths of Buddhist teachings, one must engage in practice!”
“Only through integrating knowledge with action can we truly comprehend the essence of Buddhist scriptures!”
Ergouzi looked around and spoke loudly. The crowd was quiet, everyone listening carefully, engraving every word in their hearts to reflect upon later.
“Master, we understand the principle, but how can we integrate knowledge with action?”
Someone asked.
“Well-asked, today is a fortunate day for you all, as I will demonstrate by personal experience what it means to 'lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.'”
“Please look at this cultivator. You might not be familiar with him yet, but if his identity is mentioned, no one will not know. He is one of the Core Elders of the Blood Demon Sect, Elder Xueyuan, who has always committed all kinds of evil. I have set myself a challenge to reform him within the Buddha Nation's territory, washing away his sin value of over a hundred million. If I succeed, it will relieve the suffering of all beings, which would indeed be a great merit!”
Ergouzi stood righteously, casually pointing at Li Xiaobai next to him and spoke indifferently.
“Hmph!”
“Just you try, I'd like to see how you'll convert me!”
Li Xiaobai cooperated very well, snarling loudly, flames of fury surrounding him. With a simple movement, he sent a Sword Qi towards the vault of heaven, and in the void, an impressive string of sin values appeared.
“Sin Value: 130 million!”
