As soon as Qin Ran stood up, the old monk was shocked. After nearly a thousand years of practice, his knowledge was extraordinary.
Therefore, he could clearly feel that Qin Ran exuded a powerful threat that he was not able to match.
But he didn't just run away. He kept his Zen mind still, clasped his hands and said to Qin Ran: "I don't know if this benefactor has anything important that I need to do. As long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to help the benefactor."
Qin Ran looked at the old monk and said with a faint smile: "I want you to take me to see Bodhidharma, can you help me do it?"
The old monk was shocked and pale. When this man said this, he had clearly figured out his background. Feeling guilty, he could no longer sit still and wanted to run away immediately.
How could Qin Ran watch the treasure in front of him slip away, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, lifting the old monk up.
Then there was another violent shake, and the decorations on the old monk's body immediately fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, he changed from an old monk to a young monk.
"this!"
"It's incredible, how could it be possible?"
Several people were shocked. They never expected that the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple was actually a young monk.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." The little monk was frightened after experiencing such a big change, and he waved his hands and shouted, looking very pitiful.
"Brother Qin Ran, he is so pitiful, just let him go!" Zhao Ling'er walked up and said to Qin Ran with an unbearable expression.
Lin Yueru did not have such good intentions. She poked the little monk on the forehead with her index finger and said, "Hey, little monk, why are you lying to us? You even pretended to be an old man to lie to us."
The young monk said with an innocent look on his face: "I'm not lying. Didn't the Buddha say that if you lead all sentient beings to do good and sincerely believe in the Buddha, you can reach the Paradise of Paradise? I am helping them."
"Let them eat more vegetarian food and recite sutras more. Many of them will convert to my Buddha with my help."
Qin Ran said: "To guide all sentient beings to do good and to convert to Buddhism through the art of deceiving their minds. Is this also the so-called words of the Buddha? If so, I think this monk is inappropriate. You can be so lawless and deluded with just a small hand bead.
Compared with the fairies, humans in the world are probably not far behind."
The little monk suddenly panicked and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not like that, it's not like that."
Facing the young monk's eagerness, Ling'er couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade Qin Ran.
Qin Ran had no intention of looking at Zhao Ling'er, but continued to say to the young monk: "Your real name is Xiao Shitou, and you are the string of beads in Bodhidharma's hand. Am I right?"
"How do you know? Do you also know the ancestor?" Xiao Shitou asked in surprise.
"I don't know him, but I wonder why he would leave you here since he has ascended. You have been a spirit for a long time, so it is impossible for him not to know that you are abusing your abilities in the human world."
When Xiao Shitou heard this, he looked a little frustrated and said, "I don't know why Patriarch Bodhidharma left me in the human world. I have never seen Patriarch Bodhidharma since I was able to transform."
"Do you want to see Bodhidharma again?" Qin Ran suddenly asked.
"I think about it, think about it, can you help me meet the ancestor?" Xiao Shitou asked hopefully.
"I can help you see Bodhidharma, but you must be loyal to me now and give me all your power."
Qin Ran nodded calmly, leaving no one guessing what he was thinking.
But Xiao Shitou seemed innocent and ignorant. When Qin Ran agreed, he nodded quickly and said: "Okay, as long as you can help me see the Buddha, I will give my power to you. After I return to my origin, I will not be able to use my power.
It doesn’t matter if I leave it to you.”
Qin Ran readily agreed, and then, while everyone was stunned, Xiao Shitou transferred the pure Buddhist essence he had cultivated for nearly a thousand years into Qin Ran's body.
Boom boom boom!
A series of vibrations resounded in Qin Ran's body, instantly allowing Qin Ran to use this Buddhist energy to continuously improve his level.
Everyone watching, except Zhao Ling'er who was a little naive, the other two women vaguely guessed what Qin Ran was thinking.
It turns out that through Xiao Shitou's awe and attachment to Bodhidharma, he can obtain the skills that Xiao Shitou has cultivated for nearly a thousand years and turn them into his own resources to break through the realm of cultivation.
Although the two women felt a little pitiful for Xiao Shitou, Xiao Shitou did not make good use of his power and instead tempted the villagers to convert to Buddhism. This behavior is also very undesirable.
It would be a good thing to take advantage of this opportunity now to get rid of all his power so that he can no longer do anything wrong.
Neither of the two women had any objections to this, nor did they want to stop Qin Ran.
"I gained nearly 20% of my background, so I won't lose anything this time!" A smile appeared on Qin Ran's lips.
When the Buddhist energy in the little stone's body was exhausted, the little stone could no longer maintain its shape and turned into a string of beads, falling into Qin Ran's palm. A childish voice came out: "You must remember to bring it with you.
I’m going to see Patriarch Bodhidharma.”
Qin Ran nodded and said: "I will let you see it, but not now."
Zhu Chuan regained his composure and knew that he was in the mortal world and could not see Bodhidharma. He somehow believed that Qin Ran would not lie to him.
"Now we will go down the mountain to solve the final root cause of this zombie disaster." Qin Ran said.
"The source of the zombie scourge?" the three women were surprised.
Qin Ran said: "Mass Grave General's Tomb, this is the news I got."
"So it turns out that so many zombies can be produced only if someone is behind the scenes." Lin Yueru said without hesitation.
Immediately, the four of them stopped talking and walked in a hurry, leaving the Jade Buddha Temple and heading to the General's Tomb.
The General's Tomb is located in a mass grave. It is very gloomy and full of will-o'-the-wisps. There are bones and skeletons everywhere and broken coffins. It is very spooky.
When several people walked in, they immediately felt cold all over their bodies, and a strong sense of coldness penetrated their bodies, as if they were about to freeze.
It didn't take long for Qin Ran and the others to arrive at the center of the entire mass grave. Through his telepathy, Qin Ran discovered that the Yin Qi here was the strongest and most evil.
What appeared in front of everyone was a stone tablet with some large black characters painted on it with silver hooks and iron. These characters gave off an unsettling aura, with a very strong negative energy.
"Kakaka..."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
A strange sound suddenly came out, like a hundred claws scratching the heart, the rocks exploded, the old coffin boards shattered, tombstones flew up, and the entire mass grave suddenly became a mess.
What followed were rotten corpses that stood up unsteadily, with unknown sinister sneers and inarticulate roars coming from their mouths.
After smelling the presence of a living person, these corpses immediately had a target and charged towards Qin Ran and others. Although the speed was slow, the number was large and they surrounded Qin Ran and others in no time.
