CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 245 SCRIPTURE_2

"Diao, Diao Deyi is taken!"

Her voice was tense, seemingly not good at dealing with this type of woman.

Honestly, Fang Yu was much the same.

If this shrill voice was an enemy, it would have been fine, but if it’s one of our own, it’s tricky to stop her.

"Taken? Does that mean you wouldn’t mind another girlfriend? I’m okay with being the other woman."

The shrill voice was rather aggressive...

The second sister turned even redder-faced with anger at this unreserved woman.

"We, we are decent people!"

"Lululu, just joking, just joking, right, Bald Pigeon↑Pigeon↓!"

Even Fang Yu couldn’t stand up to this shrill voice, and neither could the second sister, despite being a woman herself.

Luckily, at this moment, Monk Quan Heng stepped through the door.

"Bald Pigeon↑Pigeon↓!"

The shrill voice immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Monk Quan Heng appeared somewhat helpless, seemingly aware of the shrill voice’s character and the disturbance she caused to Fang Yu and the others.

"The two of you, is there a problem that brings you here?"

"There is something I want to ask you about, but is this place not quite suitable?"

Fang Yu looked around, noting that besides them, there were other monks moving around in the side halls.

"Then follow me."

Following Monk Quan Heng, they went to a room where Fang Yu had the second sister and the shrill voice wait outside.

Some things were better left unknown to the second sister; it would only cause her unnecessary worry.

Once in the room, Fang Yu went straight to the point.

"Master Quan Heng, do you happen to know what Evil Qi is?"

Monk Quan Heng, who was preparing tea for Fang Yu, suddenly paused.

"Heavy killing leads to the condensation of Evil Qi."

He turned to look at Fang Yu, frowning slightly.

"Logically speaking, for a martial artist of your strength, unless you commit heinous acts that provoke heaven’s wrath, it’s nearly impossible to condense Evil Qi. Let me have a look."

Monk Quan Heng reached out his hand, and Fang Yu instinctively thought of avoiding it but restrained himself.

With Monk Quan Heng holding his wrist, a faint sensation of coolness spread from the wrist, encircling his body, and then returning to Monk Quan Heng’s hand.

"There’s actually Evil Qi condensed! And besides Evil Qi, there seems to be Demon Energy as well. What on earth have you done?!"

Monk Quan Heng had dealt with Fang Yu before and felt that he wasn’t the type to be a murderous devil, not to mention there hadn’t been any significant incidents in Tianyuan Town recently.

The primary prerequisite for the condensation of Evil Qi entails massive slaughters of humans.

As for Demon Energy, that’s even stranger; typically, only demons possess it, and only incredibly powerful Demon Martial Artists within the human ranks come close to touching this level.

Monk Quan Heng had no real suspicions about Fang Yu’s identity; he had confidence in his own judgment.

However...

"Master Quan Heng, let’s not talk about that, it involves the secrets of Yangshen Hall and isn’t convenient to discuss with outsiders. Right now, I would just like to know how to eliminate Evil Qi."

Monk Quan Heng looked meaningfully at Fang Yu, then raised two fingers.

"There are two methods."

"The first method is to practice cultivation with me. We Buddhists pursue cultivation of the spirit. A calm mind and spirit naturally dissipate Evil Qi."

"However, this requires a strong enough will and sincere practice, built up persistently over time."

Fang Yu understood.

This was suggesting he become a monk, to join them in their vegetarian diet and prayers.

And looking at the time effectiveness, it wouldn’t work quickly.

With such intense Evil Qi, he didn’t want to delay for too long.

"Is there another method?"

"The other method is relatively simpler, but it’s something one can hope for rather than expect. In our world, there’s a type of object called the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling. Such objects can break apart Evil Qi, absorb it, and transfer it away from the host."

"However, this is not a long-term solution. The most secure way is still to cultivate the spirit with me, to calm the mind and spirit, and let the Evil Qi dissipate naturally."

Fang Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master Quan Heng, do you have such a Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling?"

Monk Quan Heng shook his head slightly but handed Fang Yu a Buddhist text from a bookshelf.

"Talismans of Malevolence Dispelling are extremely rare. If someone in Tianyuan Town is to have such objects, I believe the Five Great Families should have reserves. Moreover, there have been many martial artists from outside arriving recently; they might have similar objects in their possession."

Martial artists from outside—Fang Yu’s thoughts stirred.

If need be, could I claim the prize from Hei Ao’s left and green at the Bonfire Gathering and then trade the family’s Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling with me?

Fang Yu flipped through the Buddhist text in his hand, a headache coming on from the abstruse and difficult content.

"Chant of Goodness."

That was the name of this Buddhist book.

"I, like you and others in the Martial Arts community, do not have a penchant for cultivating things related to gods and Buddhas. However, please be patient and finish reading this scripture. It should help alleviate some of your Evil Qi."

"Additionally, besides the two methods I just mentioned, I have also heard that some powerful martial artists use Evil Qi as their strength and unleash it. Such Gods of Killing are not beings that we can come into contact with."

Monk Quan Heng certainly knew everything there was to know.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, having a good idea of what to do.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master Quan Heng. If the scripture is effective, I might come to visit again."

"Baoan Temple’s doors are always open to everyone."

Monk Quan Heng brought his hands together and bowed slightly.

[Quan Heng: 1000/1000.]

Despite this guy only having 1000 health, Fang Yu could feel a pressure from him unlike from anyone else.

He called out to let his elder sister come in.

Monk Quan Heng just took a brief look and his face showed surprise and doubt.

After another examination, he gave Fang Yu a meaningful glance.

Asking his sister to step out first, Fang Yu then asked.

"How is my elder sister’s condition?"

"Unusually stable. There’s not much difference to an ordinary believer, but there’s a slightly different feel to her. If you’d like to leave her at Baoan Temple..."

Fang Yu shook his head.

Bringing his sister here was only because Ding Hui was away and it was an opportunity to have someone check on his sister’s condition.

Since her condition was stable, there was no need to risk anything. They would wait for Ding Hui to return.

"If that’s the case, then please do as you see fit. If you wish to cultivate Buddhism, I will teach you wholeheartedly."

Monk Quan Heng brought his hands together again, seemingly having high hopes for Fang Yu.

Fang Yu smiled, thanked Monk Quan Heng, and left Baoan Temple with his sister.

For some reason, Bald Pigeon seemed to have improved relations with his sister; hearing she was leaving, Bald Pigeon even saw them out to the temple gates.

"That Guo Yuxin is quite pitiful..."

Fang Yu rolled his eyes, as a player she couldn’t be pitiful at all.

His sister kept chattering about the pitiful life of Bald Pigeon.

Something about having lost all memories, depending on the Monk for everything.

Fang Yu listened while studying the scripture.

It has to be said, the scripture is difficult to understand, but he could still read it.

It’s just slow going, and there might be misunderstandings of the meaning.

Fang Yu recalled Monk Quan Heng’s parting advice to recite the contents of the scripture.

It would be inconvenient to do so in the carriage now.

The journey wasn’t far, and they soon arrived home.

Upon seeing the bare walls at home, they found two members of the Foolish Underworld waiting for them for a long time.

"Sir, everything has been moved out."

"Sir, do you have any other orders?"

Fang Yu went inside, looked around, and besides some old and miscellaneous items, most things had been moved out.

"Elder sister, take another look, did we leave anything behind?"

"Hmm!"

Compared to Fang Yu’s calm, Diao Ruru’s feelings were more complex and fluctuating.

After all, this was the place where she had lived since childhood, and now leaving suddenly, she felt an inexplicable fear.

Snap.

Suddenly, she grabbed Fang Yu’s hand.

"There’s nothing left behind, let’s go, to our new home!"

"Yeah, to the new home."

Turning around, they headed to the Foolish Underworld.

Before long, they reached their destination.

Diao Ruru stared open-mouthed at the large house, complete with a big yard, somewhat dazed.

She had never imagined living in such a big house in her life.

After a short period of discomfort and unease, she began to slowly explore each room.

Fang Yu had someone follow her and went back to his room himself.

Evil Qi could be addressed by reciting scriptures and using the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling.

But as for Demon Energy, with his current abilities, he should be able to handle it.

Yes! Fang Yu planned to advance his Demonization here on the spot, then use attribute points to improve his Spirit, suppress Demonization, and achieve damage-free absorption.

Compared to the still-hidden Evil Qi, Demon Energy was too conspicuous. With no defensive measures, it needed to be resolved first.
