Chapter 319: Chapter 163: Dog
The young monk was none other than Monk Wu Chen, courteous and polite, making it hard for anyone to have a bad impression of him.
Yet, excitement that he could not hide flared in his eyes, along with fear and hesitation, clearly valuing the life and death of Zen Master Ku immensely.
His knees were slightly bent, ready with two choices if Chen Shi and Li Tianqing’s responses varied: to kneel or to flee.
Chen Shi, feeling a stir in his heart, stepped forward and shouted, "Wicked disciple, don’t you kneel upon seeing your master?"
Monk Wu Chen’s face turned pale, his legs weakened, and with a thud, he chose to kneel.
It wasn’t until his knees hit the ground that he realized and began to laugh softly.
His laughter grew louder and eventually became deafening, utterly disregarding that the noise might attract the Mushroom Giants.
"Master tried to take possession of you, and yet he capsized in the gutter!"
His excitement unabridged, he knelt on the ground and laughed loudly, his laughter soon turning to tears, "I’m alive, I’m finally alive! My life is finally in my own hands!"
He laughed heartily, "These years I’ve been trembling with fear, like walking on thin ice, I couldn’t even sleep soundly, always fearing I might never wake up again! At last, my life is mine! Thank you, thank you!"
He fiercely kowtowed several times to Chen Shi and Li Tianqing.
Chen Shi hastily dodged, not wishing to accept his grand gesture, and said, "Zen Master Ku wanted to take possession of us, and we plotted to kill him as part of our plan, not to save you."
Li Tianqing, feeling pity, said, "Brother Wu Chen, moderate your joys and sorrows. Excessive emotions can injure your spiritual heart and make it easy for demonic nature to invade."
Monk Wu Chen knelt on the ground, sobbing loudly.
"At the age of twelve, I participated in the county examination, became a Scholar, and was accepted as a disciple by the master. I was ecstatic—what status does Zen Master Ku hold? To become his disciple, I thought it was the fortune of my past life. "
He sobbed until bubbles formed at his nose, a mix of snot and tears, and cried to the two, "Once at his temple, I realized that the Zen Master had more than one disciple; indeed, there were a hundred other Scholars who entered the sect with me. Master had his own temple outside, and I lived there with those Scholars, isolated from the world. I thought to myself, I must work a hundred times harder to stand out among my fellow disciples and get noticed by master."
Chen Shi tugged at Li Tianqing’s sleeve and gestured with his mouth.
Li Tianqing saw many Mushroom Giants approaching, and his heart chilled.
Monk Wu Chen, amidst sobs, said, "Master taught us the Great Wheel Ming King Vajra Mantra and asked us to practice it. A year later, when my fellow disciples and I had all made some achievements, the Master threw us into the illusion realm of the Demon Suppressing Tower, calling it a trial. I originally thought it was just a trial until my close brother Wu Xin’s head was crushed by a claw..."
Li Tianqing immediately joined Chen Shi, and they quickly walked away before being surrounded by the Mushroom Giants.
Behind them came the sobs of Monk Wu Chen.
"My fellow disciples, who were close to me on a daily basis, were gutted by the demons of the Demon Domain, some had their heads twisted off, others had their intestines pulled out and strangled around their necks, and some were dismembered and laid out on banquet tables. I was terrified, only then did I realize how cruel this trial was!"
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing had already broken through the encircling Mushroom Giants, with the two of them and a dog looking back to see numerous Mushroom Giants converging from four streets into the same direction.
"Monk Wu Chen is likely unable to escape this calamity," said Li Tianqing.
Chen Shi said, "We’ve been hungry for so long, we have neither the strength to fight nor to save someone."
Li Tianqing nodded.
They must conserve their energy, and not intervening to save Wu Chen was the best choice.
"Boom!"
Suddenly a loud bang echoed, the sound of thunder rolling, causing their Golden Cores to tremble incessantly, as if the thunder exploded right beside their ears!
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing quickly turned around, only to see a Ten-foot Golden Body Buddha materializing behind Monk Wu Chen, who threw a punch, and the Buddha mirrored it, unleashing a rolling thunder that pierced through the head of a Mushroom Giant!
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing’s eyes widened.
Monk Wu Chen, radiant in golden light, leaped up, kicked out his right leg, and the Golden Body Buddha mirrored his movements, whooshing his leg sweeping across the cap of a Mushroom Giant, the mighty force sending the cap flying off!
The Mushroom Giant, now without its cap and headless, wobbled and then fell with a thud.
Monk Wu Chen, stepping through the air, shouted, "I shall kill, only by being more terrifying than those demons, can I survive in the Demon Realm Illusion Realm!"
He kicked apart a human head mushroom’s head and lifted a Mushroom Giant, spinning it and smashing it onto another Mushroom Giant.
He stomped hard on a pair of eye mushrooms on the ground, then barreled through an approaching Mushroom Giant, stepping continuously in midair, catching up to and plunging his hands into the chest of another Mushroom Giant, violently tearing it apart!
"No one shall snatch away my life!"
Monk Wu Chen fought his way out of the encirclement, then turned and charged back, his voice furious.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing saw the young monk in a few moves massacre all the Mushroom Giants, their hearts pounding.
"Monk Wu Chen’s strength is extremely formidable!"
Li Tianqing questioned, "Why didn’t Zen Master Ku choose him?"
Chen Shi speculated, "Could it be that Zen Master Ku felt we were better?"
The two didn’t dwell on it for long, rushing towards the headquarters of the Cao Elder Association.
Monk Wu Chen stood in the middle of Changfeng Street, his face as serene as an ancient well, still immersed in his memories.
In the first trial, he and more than ten other disciple brothers survived, while the other ninety or so perished during the trial.
