Chapter 32 Evil Demon Encounters Buddhism 1
Chapter 32 Evil Demon Encounters Buddhism 1
Huo Zhao has recently been pressured by the elders of his clan to get married, saying that he should give birth to a little wolf king for the wolf clan.
Huo Zhao had no interest in children, and even less in the mother wolf of his tribe. He was now just waiting to meet the reincarnation of Qingdeng, and then tell him, "I haven't killed a single person all these years."
Ever since he was beaten by the Azure Lamp God five hundred years ago, losing most of his cultivation and all the demons in the world were imprisoned in Ghost Valley, he had already lost the joy of living. But he just couldn't swallow that humiliation!
For Huo Zhao, living was about enjoying life. The demon race was inherently bloodthirsty and cruel. He used to treat killing as a game, watching people struggle and die slowly under his control.
Unfortunately, he was outmatched and couldn't defeat his opponent. He could only swallow his anger and suppress his demonic nature, waiting to show that fool that demons also had the right to live among humans.
After falling into Ghost Valley, it was thought that after he lost most of his cultivation, the wolf clan would choose a new wolf king to protect them. But they were all stubborn and insisted on making him king, even though they were ridiculed by other demon clans.
Ghost Valley is perpetually shrouded in darkness, barren of all vegetation, and plagued by a strange climate that alternates between scorching heat and bone-chilling cold. Most terrifyingly, the pervasive resentment within constantly devours the hearts of all living beings, driving them to their deaths.
Furthermore, evil spirits and vengeful ghosts gather here, and even in a small temple with many deities, people will fight over even an inch of land.
To earn more land for the wolf clan, he had no choice but to cultivate desperately, vowing to bring the wolf clan back to the human world in the future.
Why are demons imprisoned in such places when they are also living beings?
Fortunately, they finally waited for the day when the seal of Guigu would loosen.
Even if the seal loosens, escaping is still extremely difficult. The seal was created by Qingdeng using most of her divine power; any demon attempting to escape would either be injured and bounced back, or be completely destroyed.
Therefore, apart from demons with extremely high cultivation levels, most demons still have to stay here.
Of course, although Huo Zhao had been crippled before, he hadn't lived for nothing for the past five hundred years. He could escape on his own, but his hundreds of clansmen had to follow him. So they waited another thirty years, the seal loosened a bit more, and his cultivation improved significantly. He then protected his clansmen and escaped that hellish place.
Only after escaping Huo Zhao did he learn that his old nemesis had long since perished, his soul scattered across the mortal realm. This enraged him greatly! But with demons gradually fleeing, the celestial beings would surely find a way to resurrect him.
They will meet again someday.
Huo Zhao led his people in hiding for ten years. During this time, he discovered that the Crown Prince of Jin was actually the reincarnation of the God of Green Lamp. He went to see him, but the prince remembered nothing; he was just a precocious child who didn't understand anything.
Not interesting.
Later they arrived at Mushan Town, where spiritual energy was scarce, but fortunately there were not many townspeople, no demon-catching families nearby, and not a single demon-catching master in the town.
In Mushan Town, a dog demon ruled, bullying the people and injuring countless individuals. To prevent the demon maker from arriving, he subdued the evil demon and led his people to several large hilltops, where they set up a protective barrier. Thus, they settled down there.
That day, he was so annoyed by the elders' nagging that he transformed into his original form and went alone to the opposite mountain forest, pondering how to waste this long time.
It was at this time that he met Jing Chan.
The young nun, not yet of marriageable age, came to gather firewood carrying a basket on her back. She didn't come alone; there were three of them, but the other two weren't as honest as her.
When they arrived, the two complained of stomach aches and leg pains, and lay down on the rocks to rest. They were putting on such a fake act, but she still believed them and even went to fetch them water.
It's so stupid.
Three people came out, and in the end, only the smallest and thinnest one did the work. But the little nun wasn't annoyed; instead, she happily took on all the tasks by herself.
Huo Zhao had never paid any attention to these humans, whom he considered inferior, let alone human women. In his eyes, humans were like chickens and ducks, not worth his time or effort.
However, this little nun was so well-behaved that it was quite endearing.
Huo Zhao was really bored, so he stared at her for an entire afternoon and actually found something interesting in her.
Huo Zhao's past hobbies were fighting and killing, and now that he has found another one, he can finally find some fun to pass the time in his long life.
You know what, this little nun is actually quite to his liking.
She's young, so her flesh must be tender! The little girl is quite cute, and her skin is fair; she'd be good to eat raw. Most importantly, that little nun is clean; she wouldn't sit on the ground carelessly, and she smells nice, so she must bathe often.
Huo Zhao didn't like eating people, but this little nun inexplicably made him craving her.
In Huo Zhao's eyes, apart from their wolf demon clan, all other races in this world were lowly creatures.
"Zhao Jingchan, are you done yet? It's getting dark, let's hurry back."
"Yes, I'm tired. Go back and cook."
The young nun was actually having some difficulty carrying the load, but she was afraid of making others wait for her, so she had to speed up and catch up.
Zhao Jingchan, Huo Zhao remembered her name unintentionally.
For the next few days, Huo Zhao encountered this little nun in this forest.
Of course, he didn't come here on purpose to bump into her; after all, he would be drooling if he could only look but not eat.
However, the elders in his clan have been nagging him more and more these past few days, and he can't stray too far from the wolf demon pack, so he can only secretly hide in this forest.
The young nun would come every two or three days to gather firewood or forage for wild vegetables. Her companions changed several times, but she always came, and on several occasions she came alone.
Without even guessing, it was obvious that this young nun had been bullied. Those nuns, seeing how easy she was to bully, became increasingly brazen.
However, the little nun was indeed easy to bully. She spoke softly and gently, and kept calling Buddha, which made her seem adorably naive.
She came today with a friend she was close to.
How did Huo Zhao know they were close? Because this time, the two of them actually worked together.
“Jingchan, you’ll be of marriageable age in two months. Aren’t you going to find someone to marry into in a nearby village? I don’t know how they’ll treat you after I get married at the end of this month.”
Another young nun walked along, angrily banging a piece of wood against the ground.
“But don’t they all want to get married too?” Jing Chan said dismissively.
Her companion tapped her on the head: "Looking like that, who would want to take them in? They'll definitely have to stay after the fifteenth."
“When I was a child, my master tried to find families to take me in, but no one dared to take me. Now that I want to get married, even fewer people will want me. Buddha said that everything is predestined and fate has its own plan.”
"I think you said it yourself, you're confused! You're good-looking, I'm not even as good-looking as you. I'm fine, why can't you? The thought of you going bald in three months makes me sad. That's a lifetime!"
Seeing her friend's worried expression, Zhao Jingchan smiled and comforted her, "It's alright. My master said I have a connection with Buddhism, and among my peers, no one can chant sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures with more sincerity and patience than me. After you get married, I will pray for you every day."
"You idiot."
"I'm not stupid……"
The two little girls gradually walked away, but Huo Zhao silently lamented how ugly that bald head must be.
