Chapter 613: Chapter 400 Shipi Arhat, Nonsense Buddhist Scripture_2

Gao Buxi suddenly showed off again, and said,

"Do not underestimate these four characters; they were written by the [Shipi Arhat] of the Demon Buddha Temple."

"It is said that he is the senior brother of the Kongchan Arhat, a first-class strong person in the Demon Buddha Temple. With his extraordinary supernatural powers, he single-handedly created this city. He minced the flesh of a hundred monks from the Han Mountain Temple and made them into meat buns that the people ate."

"The Shipi Arhat is nearly achieved enlightenment, so these four characters naturally have their mysteries."

"I heard that a highly insightful little devil once contemplated these words and conceived a ’Nonsense Scripture.’"

This was clearly to boast about the Shipi Arhat.

Unexpectedly, Li Fengxian, this Dog Demon, couldn’t discern the good from the bad and only picked up on the parts related to dogs.

His mind being simple, anything related to dogs was related to him. Excited, he was about to revert to his true form and under the city gates, contemplate and develop a new ’Nonsense Scripture.’

It took quite an effort to stop them. Just then, as their flying boat approached the city, the amused Gao Buxi took out a token and shook it.

A dazzling radiance flashed, and the protective Forbidden Technique in front suddenly opened.

At the same time, Tao Qian also timely heard from Yuan Gong.

Whenever faced with the older generation of strong people, Tao Qian did not have to ask as Yuan Gong would automatically answer,

"Boy, if you encounter Kongchan, you can handle him."

"But if the Shipi is also there, you need to be very careful, and make sure not to reveal any trace of your origin."

"Huh? Does this Arhat have a grudge against my master?"

"Not really a grudge, but calling Shipi a big trouble is not an exaggeration."

"He is one of the Demon Buddha Temple’s most hopeful candidates for attaining the status of a Tribulation Immortal. His situation is quite similar to Duobao’s, both deliberately suppressing their realms, firmly stuck in the Perfect Ultimate Happiness without seeking enlightenment. Once they succeed, it won’t take many years for them to achieve the status of Tribulation Immortal and then go to the Outer Realm to play with those Evil Gods."

"That’s also why ordinary cultivators in the Daoist Transformation Realm don’t dare provoke Duobao or Shipi—they are simply afraid of death."

"And the latter is even more troublesome. Duobao likes to scheme behind people’s backs, whereas Shipi does the opposite. If he targets you, he will cling to you, using all kinds of methods to kill you—a true annoyance to gods and ghosts alike."

"Indeed, Shipi’s magical power is high; even in a direct fight, Duobao might not be able to defeat him."

"Duobao used to treat Kongchan like a fool to toy with but has never deceived Shipi, perhaps fearing that he would stubbornly harass him at the Penglai Sea."

In just a few words, Tao Qian felt like he had already met a troublesome Arhat Demon Monk.

He became apprehensive and decided not to provoke him if they met.

As he thought this, the flying boat entered the city.

In an instant, a scenery quite the opposite of the desolate and empty outside world came into view.

The city was brightly lit, bustling with people.

The smoky mist was colorful, reminiscent of the Imperial City.

All around, one could see Demons and Ghosts, heresy and heterodoxy, as well as other cultivators. In this city, they all seemed to have settled as civilians, bustling about, extremely lively.

Moreover, in the east, west, and south parts of the city, there were three large Arrays exuding magnificent vital energy, their brilliance surging, covering all scenes within.

Before anyone could ask, Gao Buxi discreetly transmitted his voice again to boast,

"Do not look randomly. The Demon Buddha Temple has lent this place to our Gao Family, and the Sumeru Great Prohibition was arranged long ago."

"Within the three Great Prohibition Arrays, there are three armies respectively—the [Hundred Demon Army] controlled by my great-grandfather, as well as the [Jade Demon Army] of Elder Gao Zhan, and the [Yang Demon Army] of Elder Gao Wei."

"The camp of the great-grandfather should be in the East City, but the military camp is a sensitive area and not easy to enter."

"I will first lead you, my Daoist friends, to the inner city, where all the Guest Elders and tributes of my Gao Family are currently located."

"Speaking of which, there is a fine sight there. After Shipi Arhat steamed the Han Mountain Hundred Monks to death, besides this city, he also left behind the steaming basket, which is said to be an extremely marvelous device; let’s go check it out together."

While speaking, Gao Buxi controlled the flying boat, passed through various restrictions and barriers, and soon arrived in the inner city.

As soon as he drew near, Tao Qian already sensed a large number of powerful auras.

He immediately saw, nested between the palaces and artificial hills, a massive, oddly-shaped device that loomed like a mountain.

Indeed, this device resembled a steamer.

Made from some kind of bronze spiritual material, ancient and robust.

The lower half was constructed in layers, with a bottom of a large flattened boulder perforated with many holes, also engraved with numerous Magic Spells capable of triggering Buddha Fire Poison Flames; the top was a huge round lid, featuring altogether eighteen bronze tubes, able to spew out dense smoke and Demon Fog.

In addition to this, the device had many grooves and cavities, which apparently had originally been embedded with relics, Pattra Leaves, gemstones, Buddha Beads, etc., but were later pried away.

As it should be after Shi Pi Arhat finished steaming buns, this device should have been left vacant and deserted, as it really isn’t considered a treasure, and is merely a large steaming basket.

But at this moment, the device was in operation.

A large number of Evil Cultivators were gathered around this "steaming basket."

Great Demons who had reached the Cavernous Mystery Realm, both Daoist and Buddhist experts, were either feasting and making merry, or sitting quietly in the four corners, commanding a view.

The less significant ones were busy.

Adding firewood, kindling flames, invoking talismans.

Accompanied by "whirling" sounds, streams of incredibly vibrant mist spurted out, forming clumps of auspicious clouds in the air, as if someone here had achieved enlightenment and wished to ascend to heaven.

The city was thereby filled with a certain exotic fragrance that made one’s soul tremble.

Whiffing this would lead to extreme salivation and an opened appetite.

"Hey, we arrived just in time; we too are fortunate enough to snack on some meat buns."

Gao Buxi had barely finished speaking.

The little demons surrounding the huge steaming basket simultaneously made their move.

Starting with those announcing the offerings, several demons who had cultivated tongue-related divine skills, despite the saliva flowing from their mouths, shouted slickly:

"The basket is opening!"

"Meat buns, freshly steamed meat buns, meat buns steamed from the steaming basket crafted by Shi Pi Arhat."

"No fighting, line up nicely, highest bidder gets them."

"Ah, what filling would you like? Pig Demon with large scallions, coming right up."

...

One could see those little demons shouting about, one familiars wearing filthy aprons, tusks protruding, dark bristles sparkling, pulling out tray after tray of bronze giant boxes, extracting meat buns the size of millstones and small tables, still steaming with radiant heat, taking the money, and distributing them to those uncanny-looking diners.

From the slowly approaching flying boat above, Tao Qian and Yunrong, each disguised as a Buddha’s son and Bodhisattva, watched expressionlessly this bizarre scene, one of the most peculiar on earth.

Listening to the inquiries about the fillings by their ears, Tao Qian also realized that there was no need to ask questions; the fillings surely included certain kinds.

Even occasionally, he glimpsed some demons who, regardless of the scorching heat, greedily swallowed, occasionally revealing severed limbs and broken arms.

Although Tao Qian had a premonition before coming here.

The Gao Family, as well, were beasts.

The gathering places of this family’s people could never offer any pleasant sights.

Just like the previous Iron Buddha Temple, the previous Fragrant Meat Collection, the same principle applied.

But knowing this, the scenes before him still made Tao Qian struggle to suppress the unnamed fury in his heart.

Just then, he seemed to think of something.

Without hesitation, not concealing his and Yunrong’s figures, he joined his palms and loudly declared: "Amitabha Buddha!"

This place was Steamed Buddha City.

These demons were using the device that initially steamed the monks from Han Mountain Temple to death to cook meat buns. freewēbnoveℓ.com

At this critical moment, suddenly, a Buddhist chant echoed, naturally drawing the attention of all Evil Cultivators.

Most of them had been recruited from various places by the likes of "Gao Buxi" who were descendants of the Gao Family, mostly Wutong Masters, Old Turtle Demons, Deng Xuechao, and the like, greedy, bloodthirsty, and unrestrained.

If they were the ugly, mutated Demonic Monks or Evil Bodhisattvas, they could have merged with them without an issue.

However, unfortunately, the characters Tao Qian and Yunrong were impersonating were a pair of Pure Buddhist companions, untouched by filth, whose elegance and demeanor could be deemed unparalleled.

When these demons caught sight of them, the "slurping" sound instantly resonated everywhere.

Initially, they were craving the meat buns.

But at this moment, they began to lust after the body of Master Tao.

It took less than a moment of silence for the place to burst into noisy roars.

"Such a handsome monk, such a beautiful Bodhisattva, are these two specially prepared by the Gao Family to entertain us with a surprise?"

"Chop them up and onto the steaming basket? We too will learn from the grand deed of Shi Pi."

"Not good, not good, such beautiful bodies, how can we squander them by steaming them like ordinary buns, that’s too vulgar."
