The City of Terror-Chapter 539 - Senior Monk’s Wisdom!

Carrying someone without making any sounds of footsteps, and moving down without causing the wind to stir; just these two points were enough to make others know how powerful Wei Xiao Bei was.

After all, the monks that read the books inside the Sutra Depository Pavillion were at least at the Neutral Jing level. Their ability to make sound judgment was not bad.

In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei had carried Shi Yan ming out of the Pavillion.

After half an hour, the monk that substituted for Shi Yan Ming came to his senses and shouted, “Stop him!”

In an instant, the monks that were reading books looked at the substitute monk with despise.

They had already disappeared before one realized it.

However, the monks also felt a bit ashamed and immediately gave chase.

The monks of the Sutra Depository Pavillion became chaotic. Wei Xiao Bei carried Shi Yan Ming and moved from left to right, returning to the Dharma Palace to find Shi Yong Ping.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei carry Shi Yan Ming, Shi Yong Ping was a bit flabbergasted and hurriedly said, “Benefactor Wei, what is the matter?”

Hearing Shi Yong Ping’s voice, Wei Xiao Bei felt a bit awkward.

Although he had entered the Sutra Depository Pavillion upon a beneficial exchange, Shi Yong Ping was the one who let him enter the Pavillion on the condition that he helped save someone. Now that he had accidentally let the Diamond Sutra self-combust, he felt that he had cheated Shi Yong Ping.

After all, the reason he was able to enter the pavilion was due to Shi Yong Ping vouching for him.

“This, this….”

After hesitating a bit, Wei Xiao Bei gritted his teeth and recounted the matter.

Of course, the matter was slightly altered as it came out of his mouth. He had omitted the part about his [Enlightenment] skill and just recounted that when he looked into the book, he had entered a dream-like state and had been cleansed by Buddhist powers.

If another person had heard it, they might have thought that Wei Xiao Bei had gone crazy, but Shi Yong Ping was different. He was someone that was capable of entering the Dust World. Moreover, he was a senior monk who had followed the path of the Dao, thus his acceptance towards these kinds of matters was a lot better than most people.

After listening to Wei Xiao Bei, Shi Yong Ping looked at him with an expression that made Wei Xiao Bei’s back hair stand up.

After a while, Shi Yong Ping laughed, “No harm. That Diamond Sutra was indeed priceless, but it was still inanimate. Benefactor Wei, being able to encounter such a mysterious thing is also destiny.”

Hearing Shi Yong Ping’s words, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed a lot. In truth, when he saw Shi Yong Ping, he had already made plans. Since the Diamond Sutra could not be recovered anymore, the Shaolin Temple could not give him the death penalty. The most they could do was ask him to pay up.

The amount of Sheep-Fat White Jade in his storage bracelet was substantial so he was not afraid to pay.

However, now, Shi Yong Ping did not have any intention of looking into him. However, these kinds of matters might jeopardize Shi Yong Ping’s leadership.

It must be known that above the palace head there were also the Shaolin Elders and also the Abode of Immortals!

Naturally, the palace heads were also on the level of elders, but when they encountered elders from a higher generation, they had no choice.

“However, even if the Buddhist text is an inanimate object, such a loss would still be hard to explain to the Abode of Immortals.”

With that said, Shi Yong Ping changed the topic and started smiling.

Hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei’s mind tensed up.

Since the conversation turned so suddenly, the result would be unsatisfactory.

Wei Xiao Bei understood this very clearly. Thus, in order to block up Shi Yong Ping’s words, he quickly opened his mouth, “Since I have destroyed such a treasure of your noble temple, then I should give the equivalent compensation. How about I donate 50 million yuan to your temple?”

In truth, 50 million was still an amount that made Wei Xiao Bei grit his teeth. In truth, he might not even have 1 million yuan in his bank account.

However, after going back, he could obtain this much money just by selling the Sheep-Fat White Jade.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei also knew that this kind of original Buddhist text was already considered a national treasure. If he was not restricted by law and where to take it to an auction, he would be able to earn more than 100 million for it.

“Benefactor Wei is exaggerating. Our temple does not covet money. What is the use of money for a Buddhist Temple? Going back to the topic, I believe that benefactor Wei and I were brought together by fate…..”

Hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei’s hairs immediately stood up.

Could this old monk actually want me to become a monk as repayment?

Thinking about this, it was seen as normal. After all, the Shaolin Temple did not lack money. If he had joined the Shaolin Temple and become a monk, then the Temple would’ve earned back a lot more. They had simply gained a Guo Shu Grand Scholar and prevented him from talking about temple matters to others.

This represented the worst-case scenario for him.

Although being a monk nowadays was better compared to the past, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet even had a girlfriend before. Even if he was beaten to death, he would still be unwilling to become a monk.

“No! I am already under discipleship. Betraying my master like this is something I cannot do, Elder should not be like this.

Righteous indignation filled Wei Xiao Bei’s chest. He was prepared to fight if he could not settle things with words, but he was also secretly delighted. As the one who had a slip of the tongue, the old monk could not blame him.

However, what Wei Xiao Bei never imagined was that Shi Yong Ping’s next words would make him dumbstruck, “Benefactor Wei has misunderstood. This old man is still considered a go-between with the martial arts world. I know about martial ethics. This old man’s meaning is to have benefactor Wei become an instructor at our temple. I think that benefactor Wei has learned a few things after staying in the Sutra Depository Pavillion for a few days.

Shi Yong Ping simply did not receive Wei Xiao Bei’s words and chuckled as he spoke and looked at Shi Yan Ming’s body.

With Shi Yon Ping’s ability to make judgments, he ascertained that Shi Yan Ming had been hit by the Shaolin 32 pressure point technique.

In truth, even Shi Yong Ping was surprised about Wei Xiao Bei’s martial prowess and talent. Moreover, he had only entered the Sutra Depository Pavillion for less than six days. Just being able to learn the technique without any senior monk’s assistance and guidance, showing how much talent he had, let alone the speed with which he was reading. Reaching Wei Xiao Bei’s level in the technique would require at least half a year.

Of course, this did not exclude the fact that he was a martial arts Great Scholar. After all, in martial arts, you could learn from one another and grasp many things, such as the fundaments that originally indicated Neutral Jing experts.

With his martial attainment, learning other martial arts at a fast pace was not a problem.

But Shi Yongping asked himself, even if he was practicing these thirty-two-way point acupoints, it would take more than two months. This was under the situation where he was very familiar with acupuncture points and blood channels.

Anyway, if he could ensnare Wei Xiao Bei, the Shaolin Temple would gain great benefits.

Shi Yong Ping had entered the Dust World before. With his 60 years of accumulated experience and knowledge, he already sensed the omens of a calamity.

His intuition and wisdom was not something to be overlooked. This was especially so for a senior monk like him who had researched many Buddhist texts.

Ah?

“If benefactor Wei is willing, then you should assume the post of this group of martial monks’ instructor. I have decided that you can dispatch the disciples of the Dharma Palace! Moreover, the disciples of the martial arts schools surrounding the Shaolin Temple could be spoken with as well.”

Before Wei Xiao Bei could reply, Shi Yong Ping dropped another bomb!

Hearing Shi Yong Ping’s words, Wei Xiao Bei opened his mouth, unable to help himself.

For him, this was simply a happy matter, like meat pie falling from the sky.

For a long time now, Wei Xiao Bei felt a headache not from a problem of money, but from the possibility that the world would descend into chaos!

Ever since he entered the Dust World, the connection between the Dust World and the real world was becoming stronger. Examples of this were incidents on the news that were caused by low-ranked monsters entering the real world.

Self-defense! Wei Xiao Bei felt that there was no problem with this.

However, when he thought about his family and friends, he alone, could not protect everyone.

Therefore, it was necessary for him to establish a force under his own control. Thus, Wei Xiao Bei let Wei Xing Wu start the security company for the purpose of grasping some information and to protect his family and friends. However, he had already changed plans to find new power.

However, it was very difficult to gain power.

The first problem was money, which was a lot easier to solve now. The second was human resources.

In the modern world, it was easy for people to convene as long as there was enough money, but even if normal people were equipped with modern firearms, they would be able to handle some low-rank creatures, but stronger ones were out of the question.

Wei Xiao Bei had collected some human resources.

There was Andre, a 2-Star Elite Creature that had the frame of an Einherjar. He was even stronger than Huang Kun in certain aspects.

His two disciples could be considered his most elite members. They were already 2-Star Elites, and Huang Kun was close to becoming 2-Star Terror, he could most likely defeat normal 3-Star Creatures.

On the other hand, Zhu Xin Yi’s charm control had 7 Lickers, 2 Dang Kangs, 5 Wooden Training Dummies, 3 Monster Trees, and more than 10 Saplings.

Her battle power was something that could match a Giant Wolf with [Madness] active. Naturally, she was unparalleled against enemies of the same rank.

Even if Huang Kun and Andre worked together, they could only watch her win.

He also had more than 30 American Soldiers. The strongest was a normal 2-Star while the weakest was a 1-Star Elite. Even without the help of the status panel or martial arts, their ability to level up wasn’t slow. After all, they had previously learned how to fight with firearms and not cold weapons.

However, after familiarizing themselves with cold weapons, breaking through to 2-Star Elite was not a problem.

Apart from this, the remaining people were normal security guards and could not be counted on.

As for Zhao Guang, Wei Xiao Bei had not seen him enter the Dust World yet. According to him, he needed to stay for more than three years before being able to go back and forth between the real world and the Dust World. Otherwise, he would be gone forever.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did not require Zhao Guang to become his assistant in fighting in the Dust World. It was enough for Zhao Guang to stay in the real world.

The power of a 3-Star Terror Creature was already quite strong.

In truth, if it was not for Zhao Guang, Wei Xiao Bei would not have dared to pay visits to other sects during this time of turmoil.
