Chapter 58: The battle that belongs to Lushan

What arrogance! I swallowed the wine in my mouth, quietly pulled Lu Shan, who was already trembling slightly, and looked at the fat lama and the several ferocious lamas behind him. I said slowly, “What if I say no?”

The fat lama was taken aback. He was obviously used to bullying people and didn’t expect me to refuse his request. He looked at me with a murderous glare in his eyes and said, “No one here can go against the will of the Lagan Temple (a temple name chosen at random, so don’t take it too seriously). Because its will is the will of the gods and Buddhas, if you go against it…”

He smiled wickedly and didn’t say anything else. I pretended to be very scared and asked, “What will happen then?”

“Then you will also become a sinner, and it is only right to use your life to wash away your sins.” The fat lama said viciously.

I was already sneering in my heart. I had also come into contact with Tibetan monks, and I knew that the history was complicated and there were many tributaries. There were also people who used religion for ulterior motives, but I had never seen such a domineering temple lama before.

The fat lama probably thought I was already scared and stopped talking to me. He reached out his fat hand to grab Lu Shan, but Tao Bai, who was standing next to Lu Shan, was about to stand up, but was stopped by Cheng Xin.

“You can do whatever you want,” Chengxin said gently to Lushan.

Lu Shan smiled when he heard Cheng Xin’s words, and then suddenly grabbed the bear’s paw that was reaching out, and then punched the fat lama in the face with great speed.

“Ah!” The fat lama let out a cry of pain. He obviously didn’t expect Lu Shan to attack him, and the several lamas behind him, seeing such a turn of events, immediately wanted to rush forward, but at this time, I, Huigen, Chengxin, and Xiao Chengqian stopped them in time.

The fat lama was beaten by a punch and seemed to be a little desperate. He looked up and forgot to speak Chinese to us. He spoke Tibetan and then roared at Lushan.

I don’t know why he didn’t use other methods against Lushan, but chose this gangster-like approach. But soon Lushan gave me the answer: “Zeren, you also know that this is a place blessed by the Virgin, and you can’t use magic to defile it. If you want to take me away, then go out and draw a line, and fight a good fight.”

After saying this in Chinese, Lushan was afraid that the fat lama named Zeren wouldn’t understand, so he emphasized it in Tibetan. The fat lama who had been roaring about fighting to the death with Lushan actually stopped, and said angrily, “You will get the worst, worst punishment, even worse than before.”

After that, he snorted and walked out of the restaurant first.

Xiao Chengqian, who was in the back, hurriedly paid the Tibetan girl in the restaurant and muttered, “This guy didn’t learn elementary school Chinese well. He speaks like a primary school student writing an essay. He also said the worst punishment, completely ignoring us.”

“Then let’s give them the worst punishment.” Chengxin stood next to Xiao Chengqian, adjusted his glasses, and a flash of brilliance in his eyes made me break out in goosebumps.

After leaving the restaurant, we walked straight towards the outskirts of the city. In the sparsely populated province of X, we quickly found a small, wind-protected hill. Here, there was a lonely, empty grassland and a clear lake.

“Zeren, you don’t have to go any further. Do you want to call for help in the temple?” Lushan shouted with a frown.

Hearing this, the fat lama stopped, turned around with a cold smile and said, “To deal with a traitor like you, we don’t need any help. We are enough.”

Seeing this scene, I whispered to Lushan, “If you fight him alone, do you have any confidence in winning?”

Lu Shan looked at Zeren and said with disdain, “He is just a guy who relies on his connections to bully people in the temple and live off the fat of the land! The lamas behind him are his protectors and bodyguards, and they are quite capable! If it were him, I could beat him ten times over.”

“Want to beat him up alone?” I asked in a low voice.

“Very much!” Lu Shan replied simply.

Having received Lu Shan’s answer, I stepped forward and pointed at Zeren, saying, “We are friends of Lu Shan. In our Han Chinese culture, there is a saying that we would risk our lives for our friends. We will not watch you deal with Lu Shan alone, but we also do not want to desecrate the will of your temple. So, you, Zeren, if you want to take him back, then you fight him one-on-one. If you win, you can take Lu Shan with you.”

Facing my proposal, Zeren took a long time to understand it, and with the help of a nearby lama, he finally understood. He looked at me with a funny expression, obviously thinking of me as a fool.

So at this time, I took another step forward, closer to the lamas, deliberately releasing some of the shackles of my soul on Shatu, and Shatu and I were in tune with each other. At this time, he deliberately let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth.

The empty grassland suddenly became stormy, as if a real tiger was about to fall from the sky at any time. Accompanied by the might of the tiger, I drove my own spiritual power, almost without limit, releasing my own power and aura. In the face of my demonstration, the faces of the accompanying lamas became slightly heavy.

But is that all? Immediately after, the rest of my Li family also came to my side, and at the same time relaxed the soul’s restraint on the evil spirits. In that moment, the cunning of the young fox, the heaviness of the lazy turtle, the strength of the aggressive dragon, and the “venomous” of the cute snake all made the lamas feel it.

In fact, Xiao Chengqian also wanted to join in the fun, but he had to restrain himself because the other spirit of the dragon he had obtained from the Lake of a Thousand Demons was still recovering and should not be shown off at the moment.

As for Hui Gen, he didn’t care what we were doing at all. He was busy picking wild flowers to put on Ru Yue’s head. The flowers reflected Ru Yue’s face and made it look incredibly beautiful. At that moment, I was a little distracted. Such similar facial features always reminded me of that cold woman. Ru Xue, the only love mark left in my heart, was only born with a natural beauty that was so different from Ru Yue. It was only a moment before I came to my senses and realized that this beautiful woman was Ru Yue, and never the Ru Xue in my heart.

Thinking of Ru Xue made my heart ache, and my mood was not so good. I was less patient with Zeren and his gang. I yelled, “You choose. If they attack, we will attack too. And we will deal with you from the very beginning.”

Zeren looked at us in disbelief. He never dreamed that we were cultivators, not ordinary people, or that we could not accept that Lushan had such a powerful friend.

“Let’s go. Sinners will always be punished. The light of the gods and Buddhas is everywhere. We don’t have to deliberately find this sinner.” After a period of silence, Zeren actually planned to escape.

But at this moment, Lushan took a step forward, took out a simple hand drum from his backpack, and said to Zeren, “Isn’t this the most important magical instrument in the temple? Do you want to take it back from me, a sinner? Don’t you want it anymore? Are you just going to let me take it?”

Zeren just pretended not to hear, gave Lu Shan a spiteful look, and walked away even faster.

Lu Shan snorted, withdrew the hand drum in his hand, and then quickly began to make hand gestures and mumble in his mouth!

This hand technique is so strange and yet familiar to me. It is a Tantric hand technique, and the mantra he recited should be the mantra that goes with the hand technique. It is very similar to Taoist hand techniques and mantras, but in fact, the difference is great, and the effect of the spell is also very different.

Compared to the five elements and other things that the Taoists put on the surface, the effect of their hand-held spells is even more bizarre!

Lu Shan must be a genius. I stood aside and saw the speed at which he was performing the hand gestures, and felt the inevitable changes in the energy of the world that the hand gestures brought about, and came to this conclusion. I couldn’t understand why such a talented person with such a heritage would be forced to stay away from this plateau.

Obviously, not only did we feel Lu Shan’s spell, but the fat lama and his entourage also felt it. One of the people guarding the fat lama tried to attack, but was interrupted by the power of the snake that Cheng Zhen had deliberately released.

“I said, if you attack, I will attack with all my strength.” I held my hands in front of my chest and said these words one by one, making the lamas look uncertain. For a moment, they didn’t know whether they should attack or not.

Seeing that Lushan’s hand signs were about to be completed, the fat lama understood that it was not him who was looking for trouble with Lushan, but rather our group who was looking for trouble with him. He didn’t want to let him get away, and in the case of his entourage being restrained, he had no choice but to rush out.

But compared to Lushan’s righteous hand gestures, he took out a magic weapon, a strange-colored vajra bell. I had never seen a vajra bell with a pale white color before. Then he muttered a few words and shook it at Lushan.

In the next moment, Lu Shan’s hand gestures were complete. He looked at the fat lama’s hand and the instrument in his hand, and his hatred in his eyes was even greater. But he had to admit that the instrument was extremely powerful. In the middle of the straight line between Lu Shan and him, the earth trembled, followed by a muffled sound, and finally it disappeared. He used the power of the instrument to block Lu Shan’s magic.

“Hmph, how can I be fair to a despicable person? I’ll see how many times you can use your Vajra Bell. Will the protection that person gave you run out?” As he spoke, Lu Shan took out a bone knife from his backpack. I’ve seen this bone knife before. Didn’t Lu Shan use it at the Lake of a Thousand Demons?

Seeing this bone knife, Zeren’s face suddenly changed.
