Chapter 263: Age of Dharma Decline (Part 2)

Two golden lights fell from the sky, and two warriors walked out from the golden lights. They were much taller than ordinary people, wearing heavy armor all over, and carrying heavy weapons like broadswords and heavy axes. As they walked, the earth trembled.

As soon as the two warriors appeared, they saw the three corpses in front of the temple and were immediately furious: "You actually killed the Great King's only son? And you even killed his two attendants! Do you know your crime?"

The hunter Sankui stiffened his neck and said, "I killed a white wolf; who knew how he turned into a person? Is your Great King a wolf?"

One warrior sneered, "Our Great King Moon Saint's original form is a white wolf, and he transformed into a human as early as thirty thousand years ago. The Great King served as a mount for the Bodhisattva and guarded the lamp light at the foot of Spirit Mountain, having long attained the true fruit. The Great King's only son was born in human form!"

The hunter said, "I don't care; anyway, I killed a wolf. The wolf ate my things, so it's only right and proper for me to kill it!"

Wei Yuan listened from the side, quietly pulled the young girl's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Has Uncle Sankui always had this temper?"

"Yes, he is the most stubborn; it's useless no matter who talks to him."

Wei Yuan asked again, "But what if those two big guys really take action?"

"With the Dharma master here, they won't take action. In this place, one can only reason."

Wei Yuan felt indescribably bizarre and awkward, as if his consciousness had split into two parts: one part believed that all this was right and proper, just like the people in the village, while the other part felt that all this was unreasonable.

The two warriors were indeed furious and shouted, "The Young Master turning into a wolf is purely practicing his transformation skills. Even if he injured the livestock in your village, those were all dull things without wisdom; how can they compare to the Young Master who was born with transformation?"

"Isn't transformation also transforming into our human form?" Sankui mocked.

The two warriors were even more annoyed. One said, "The Young Master was born with transformation, and his fruit position and karmic retribution are much higher than you people who are still in the bitter sea! Have you been studying Buddhism for thousands of years only to have it all go to the pigs?"

The other hurriedly said, "Watch your words! If Great Saint Zhu hears this, he'll peel your skin!"

Sankui spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said, "No matter who comes, they can't argue against the word 'reason'! The wolf killed my sheep, so I killed it; it's just that simple!"

His phlegm landed squarely on the Young Master's corpse, finally completely enraging the two warriors. One warrior swung his broadsword and hacked toward his head!

The young monk chanted a Buddha name and sighed.

Golden light suddenly rose from Sankui's body, and his whole person seemed to be plated with a layer of gold. The broadsword hacked onto him and was directly bounced high up. The warrior wielding the sword had already exhausted all his strength, resulting in the tiger's mouth of both hands splitting open, and fresh blood dyed the sword handle red.

Sankui stiffened his neck and looked at the warrior, mocking, "How about that? Can't kill me, right? With your character, you still want to take action? Even if your Great King comes, it's useless!"

The other warrior held back his companion who wanted to fight for his life and said to the young monk, "Monk, how can sentient beings be mentioned in the same breath as dull things? If someone kills a chicken in your house, can you kill that person?"

The injured warrior was extremely angry and roared at the monk, "That's right, if someone steps on your foot, can you kill his whole family?"

At this moment, a tall and burly woman walked out from among the villagers, pointed at the two warriors, and shouted, "You step on my foot, and I'll kill your whole family! So what if our Sankui hunted a few pieces of game? Who told you to be humans but choose to turn into beasts!"

Wei Yuan looked at the woman who didn't lose in momentum at all and remembered that this was Uncle Sankui's wife. She was the second-in-command in the village, second only to the village chief, and no one dared to provoke her.

One warrior ignored the woman and said to the monk, "Monk, what do you say?" The young monk put his hands together and said, "He also committed an unintentional mistake..."

The warrior sneered, "Good, good, good, unintentional mistake! Unintentional killing doesn't count as killing, right? The monk actually talks nonsense too! If he weren't greedy and angry, how could our Young Master die? We can't argue with you, so we'll have to invite the Great King to reason with you."

The two warriors rose into golden light and flew away.

Wei Yuan was somewhat worried and continued to ask the young girl quietly, "Is their Great King very powerful?"

"I don't know; every time, the Great King is different. Some are powerful, some are very average."

Wei Yuan felt the young girl's answer was very strange, but he couldn't say where it was weird.

Seeing the warriors leave, the villagers prepared to disperse. Hunter Sankui wanted to say something to the young monk, but his wife pulled him away, muttering, "The Dharma master will protect us; otherwise, why do we offer so many things every year? It's enough to raise several half-grown boys!"

Wei Yuan originally thought the Great King would have to come tomorrow at the earliest. However, before the villagers had dispersed, a thick golden light suddenly fell from the sky, and a man with long hands and feet and silver hair walked out from the golden light. He was two zhang tall and had to bow his head to see the monk.

At this moment, golden light fell continuously, and warriors appeared one by one, surrounding the small temple. These warriors were actually all in human form, with no residual characteristics of monsters, only some were exceptionally tall and burly, some had red faces and glaring eyes, just like the Vajra in the temple.

Great King Moon Saint looked at the young monk and said, "Lianxin, we debated scriptures for seven days back then, and I originally thought we were already friends. I didn't expect that the people you protect would actually kill my only son, hehe."

The monk sighed and said, "The mortal mind is obscured, it is inevitable that there are inappropriate thoughts..."

!.

"Wait a while before debating with you; let me see how much Dharma power you have left!" Great King Moon Saint suddenly drew his long sword, and a blade light like a startling electric flash cut through the world, flashing and disappearing!

Hunter Sankui let out a miserable scream. The golden light on his body appeared a moment too late, and a blade mark suddenly appeared on his face, and a stream of fresh blood sprayed from his left eye!

Great King Moon Saint sheathed his sword, shook his head, and sighed, "What a pity, I was just a little bit away from avenging my son."

Seeing Sankui covering his face and falling to the ground, the fierce woman suddenly went crazy, shouting and rushing toward Great King Moon Saint, wanting to fight him for her life.

Great King Moon Saint's blade light flashed again in his hand, but this time it couldn't hack open the golden light on the woman's body, so he didn't take action anymore, just letting two warriors block the woman.

The woman had protective golden light on her body, and even Moon Saint couldn't hack it open, so the warriors were even less capable. But the woman was actually a mortal and couldn't hurt the two warriors at all, so the two sides just stood in a stalemate, only the woman's cursing became louder and louder, as if she would never get tired.

Moon Saint looked at the monk and said, "The more you protect them, the more evil they commit. All the evil consequences must be borne by you. I'm actually quite curious, how long can you bear it? Oh, that's right, there are also your descendants, who must also bear it with you. I'm even more curious, do your descendants know their fate? Are they really willing to share this karma for you? Or is it that you didn't tell them the truth at all?"

Moon Saint also said, "Mortals are ignorant and will say they have bad luck for eight generations. Hehe, but when you are your descendants, eight generations are not enough?"

He looked at the villagers one by one, as if looking at meat on a chopping block. At this moment, the villagers finally felt fear and subconsciously took a few steps back. Looking around, Moon Saint saw Wei Yuan and the young girl.

"This pair looks quite well-matched. I hate seeing people with perfect marriages the most, so let me kill you first!" As soon as Moon Saint's voice fell, another dazzling blade light flashed in his hand, hacking down toward Wei Yuan's head!

With a clang, Wei Yuan held a golden tripod with both hands, blocking this strike.
