A wayward Taoist descends the mountain to save the world, a peaceful monk opens his doors to collect wealth.
Xia Feng had never had a good impression of monks, especially after learning that Mount Ling would be collecting a security fee. Wasn't this just blatant robbery?
This made Xia Feng even angrier, which was why he called the monks "baldasses."
(ps: This is just a novel. If you're a believer, please don't get angry and take it seriously. Buddha is merciful.)
"Hmph, you have quite the nerve, daring to insult us as baldasses at the foot of Mount Ling. Today, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save you. Come with me to the Ling Shan Buddhist Hall to accept your death."
Seeing the situation, one of the monks whistled towards the outside.
The shopkeeper, seeing them call for reinforcements, quickly hid beneath the counter, not daring to lift his head.
It seemed that the deeds of these people were truly detestable.
"Oh, don't your kind of baldasses always preach the compassion of Buddha and the salvation of all beings? How can you be so vengeful and quick to take lives? Are you worthy of the Buddhist doctrines you cultivate?" Xia Feng asked with disdain, voicing his doubts.
Were these hypocritical individuals no longer even pretending?
Xia Feng felt like laughing. Others might at least put on a show, but these people, they didn't even bother.
You should at least say some high-sounding words, and then find an excuse.
At least maintain some semblance of decency. To act like this, discarding all pretense of dignity, what shameless people!
"You, who disrespect Buddhism, are not worthy of Buddha's compassion. You belong in the eighteenth level of hell," the monk spoke arrogantly to Xia Feng, uttering not a single proper word.
One could only say that these people had been arrogant for too long; they had forgotten who they truly were.
If they could hurl such vicious words at Xia Feng now, what about ordinary people?
Xia Feng finally understood what this security fee was all about.
To put it nicely, it was a security fee, protecting everyone's safety.
To put it bluntly, it was protection money, just like street thugs, utterly detestable, like rats everyone wanted to beat.
"It seems that if Buddhism is not purified, ordinary people will suffer. Since I am here at Mount Ling, I will cleanse the house on behalf of the Buddha and eliminate all of you hypocritical fake baldasses." With a light wave of his hand, Xia Feng spoke. The two monks didn't even have time to react before they turned into dust.
To deal with people like them, Xia Feng didn't even need the strength it took to crush an ant.
Xia Feng's sudden action stunned those who had been watching from a distance.
"You better leave quickly. You've killed people from Mount Ling, you're finished."
"Yes, we hate them too, but we can't do anything about it. Hurry and leave before it's too late."
"Young master, please flee!"
Seeing Xia Feng kill the baldasses, the onlookers were all excited and even thanked Xia Feng.
It was clear that these people also wished they could kill these baldasses themselves.
"No need. If you're interested, tell everyone that today I will cleanse Mount Ling and remove these pests." Xia Feng then strode out.
Everyone was startled. They hadn't expected Xia Feng not to flee, but to declare his intention to cleanse Mount Ling, which stunned them all.
After leaving, Xia Feng directly swept up Li Yurou and a few others and flew towards Mount Ling.
"He's really heading towards Mount Ling."
"Let's go and see. Perhaps some powerful figure has come to seek justice for us."
"Quick, everyone notify everyone else to go to Mount Ling and watch the show."
The border town suddenly descended into chaos, with people rushing to spread the word. Hearing that someone was going to Mount Ling to cleanse the house, they all quickly ran towards the mountain.
