I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game
Chapter 501-2: Wusi Altar, Seeking Incense Power (2)
[The Wusi Altar was originally the Wusi government office. Now, after being renamed an altar, the buildings inside the government office still maintain their original appearance.]
[After passing through the office gate, what greets you are two Sacred Fire Flags on the left and right. On the east and west sides are houses used by military servants and soldiers.]
[Continuing inward, you pass through the ceremonial gate and the broad courtyard corridor, passing the main hall and central hall, then entering the private hall. Only then do you finally see the true person in charge.]
[The Extreme Evil Wusi Altar Master is a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, with three sacred fires embroidered on his chest. On the table beside it lies the sutra the military captain just delivered, the Precious Sutra of All Evil Karma.]
[The Precious Sutra of All Evil Karma is a Buddhist cultivation method passed down by the Mother Buddha of All Evils. Only direct disciples beneath the Mother Buddha’s seat can possess the original copy of this cultivation method.]
[Even the former Dharma King of the All Evil Precious Temple had no chance to cultivate this Buddhist cultivation method.]
[When the altar master sees you stroll in unhurriedly, it immediately offers up the sutra with both hands, returning it to its original owner.]
[It dismisses the servants on the left and right, personally brews tea for you, and invites you to sit, saying, is this Great Living Buddha a direct disciple beneath the Mother Buddha’s seat?]
The sutra Lin Xun originally obtained had long since been used as a skill book. The current Precious Sutra of All Evil Karma was snatched from the Wondrous Dharma Hall.
This skill book was the complete version of the Wheel of All Evil Karma. Its skill quality was higher and had already reached immortal grade.
A Buddhist cultivation method of this grade could create a higher-end carved stone idol divine image, jumping two levels up from clay idol, with a higher absorption and conversion rate for Incense Power.
[You sneer and say, Mother Buddha of All Evils? No, no…]
[That Mother Buddha of All Evils had meager magical power and was actually slain by a yokai god in the mortal world. It is truly laughable to the extreme!]
[Your name is Namo Great Sage Relic Honored King Buddha. You are the incarnation of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas walking the human realm. Now, entrusted by the Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva, you have come to Wusi City to take over the incense power of that deceased Mother Buddha.]
[The White Elephant Demon beside you is just lifting its teacup and drinking like an ox. Hearing your words, it fails to hold back and sprays all the tea in its mouth onto the table.]
[The altar master’s mouth opens slightly, and it hesitates, saying, this, this, this…]
[It says ‘this’ for half a day without producing anything. You understand that it naturally will not believe your words so easily.]
[You glance sideways at the White Elephant Demon, reminding senior brother to manage his expression properly, then continue saying to the altar master…]
[The Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva not only gifted you the Wusi City incense power that originally belonged to the Mother Buddha, but also gifted you that dragon race yokai god that once ravaged Wusi City as your dharma-protector mount.]
[As you speak, a figure appears behind you. It is precisely the dragonkin wearing metal armor and holding a sinister Dragon Spear.]
[The White Elephant Demon’s expression is extremely vivid, but it still does its best to manage its expression.]
[It understands that you are using the Great Deception Art again. In the past, it had been deceived by you until it was completely turned around. Fortunately, the target of your Great Deception Art this time is not it…]
[The altar master naturally recognizes that remnant of the evil god behind you. A few days ago, the one who blasted apart the gate of the All Evil Precious Temple with one spear, killed its way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood into the precious temple, and finally manifested the Dharma body of a dragon race yokai god was precisely this remnant of the evil god.]
[Several tens of thousands of commoners in Wusi City saw with their own eyes that this remnant of the evil god killed the Mother Buddha. In the end, it drew the wrath of heaven and resentment of men, causing the Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva to personally descend to the mortal world and suppress this dragon race yokai god.]
[Yet now, this remnant of the evil god stands quietly and obediently behind you. It does not have even the slightest trace of the former violent yokai god. It is exactly a dharma-protector mount that has converted to Buddhism.]
[The altar master opens its mouth and only feels that it is somewhat difficult to accept for a moment.]
[The Mother Buddha of All Evils was the Bodhisattva’s subordinate god disciple. Now that the Mother Buddha has passed into nirvana, the commoner believers no longer have a Buddha to worship, so they should go worship the Bodhisattva or the other disciples beneath the Bodhisattva’s seat.]
[Although the dharma-protector mount that is this remnant of the evil god cannot be faked, and you must also have some kind of connection with the Bodhisattva, it has never heard of any Namo Great Sage Relic Honored King Buddha.]
[To make several tens of thousands of commoners in Wusi City all worship this Buddha they have never heard of overnight is truly somewhat improper.]
[But since you can take the dragon race yokai god as a dharma-protector mount, it means that you yourself are also a great Buddha with boundless magical power. After hesitating for a long time, it still does not dare voice any opposition.]
[You know that incense power must be a matter of mutual willingness. You have not yet reached the boundless mighty power of something like the Extreme Delusion Fruit, which can corrode all things and coerce the world’s incense power.]
[Right now, taking it by wisdom is the best strategy, while taking it by force is the worst. Because obtaining Wusi City’s incense power is easy, but making that incense power remain long-burning and unextinguished is difficult.]
[You must make the altar master fully submit to you and have it teach and transform the commoners of Wusi City. That way, after you leave this place, your divine image will not be pushed down, and the incense power offered to you can flourish and never be extinguished.]
[You smile faintly and ask the altar master, you and the Bodhisattva anticipated this long ago. Does it know who this person beside you is?]
[The altar master’s gaze turns toward the White Elephant Demon, who is currently drinking tea like an ox. After sizing it up and down, its face is full of confusion.]
[You say loudly, this person is the Bodhisattva’s eldest disciple, Six-Tusked White Elephant Demon!]
[The Bodhisattva specially sent down the eldest disciple to assist you in taking over Wusi City’s incense power.]
[Hearing this, the White Elephant Demon cooperatively raises its head and puffs out its chest. Its nose becomes bigger and longer, revealing an elephant trunk. Its ears grow to the size of palm-leaf fans and droop downward, while wrinkles spread across its face.]
[In the blink of an eye, it changes from a big-bellied brawny man into a monster with an elephant head and human body!]
[You say with full confidence, now that the eldest disciple beneath the Bodhisattva’s seat has personally arrived, does it still have doubts in its heart?]
[You look at the altar master with full confidence, only waiting for it to bow down and worship.]
[Unexpectedly, the altar master says with a puzzled face, is the eldest disciple beneath the Bodhisattva’s seat not the Great Jia Greed and Wrath Arhat? What is this Six-Tusked White Elephant Demon thing?]
[As soon as these words come out, before you can speak, the White Elephant Demon flies into a towering rage, slaps the table, rises, and shouts, damn it! You people are truly ignorant and ill-informed!]
[Although that Greed and Wrath Arhat has higher magical power than it, who knows how much later he entered the sect than it did? He cannot even rank in the top three. The eldest disciple is clearly it!]
[This Wusi Altar must have a thangka painting of the Bodhisattva, right?!]
[Take it out, hurry up and take it out. In that thangka of the Bodhisattva riding the white elephant, the white elephant is me!]
[The White Elephant Demon smashes the table to pieces with one slap. Its magical power surges violently all over its body, frightening the altar master into not daring to argue anymore. It quickly orders people to move over all the Bodhisattva’s portraits and sutras…]
[The altar master takes out a painting scroll from a box filled with scrolls and unfolds it. It looks at the White Elephant Demon’s ugly appearance, shakes its head, puts away the scroll, and opens the next one.]
[The altar master opens more than ten thangka painting scrolls in succession. Beside the Bodhisattva or beneath the Bodhisattva’s seat, there are peacocks, male lions, fierce tigers, as well as Arhats and Mother Buddhas, but there is simply no white elephant.]
[And that Great Jia Greed and Wrath Arhat is the one with the highest appearance rate in the painting scrolls besides the Bodhisattva. No wonder the altar master said Greed and Wrath Arhat is the Bodhisattva’s eldest disciple.]
[The White Elephant Demon is exasperated, only feeling that its face is extremely hard to maintain. It pushes the altar master aside and personally squats down to rummage through the box…] 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
[The more the White Elephant Demon searches, the angrier it becomes. Its face turns red with fury, and steam vaguely rises from the top of its head.]
[Finally, after searching for a long time, the White Elephant Demon takes out a painting scroll from the bottom of the box and unfolds it. Its face brightens with joy as it says, look! Look quickly!]
[This white elephant is me!]
[You and the altar master follow the White Elephant Demon’s finger and look over. This painting scroll is wide and long, and many of the Bodhisattva’s disciples all have a place on it. They are either compassionate, mighty, solemn, or austere, each posing in their Dharma forms around the Bodhisattva.]
[And beneath the Bodhisattva is a fierce white elephant. It is mostly covered by the Bodhisattva’s Dharma robe skirt, hiding more than half of its elephant head. The other half of the elephant face exposed has three uneven tusks, looking extremely sinister and ugly.]
[At the bottom of the painting scroll, there are annotations marking the Buddhist names of each of the Bodhisattva’s disciples. You and the altar master look for a long time before finally seeing the annotated words Bodhisattva’s eldest disciple, Six-Tusked White Elephant Demon in a certain corner.]
Lin Xun’s mouth twitched. His face was full of dark lines as he said, “This White Elephant senior brother is really too miserable. The whole family goes out for team building and leaves it to watch the house. It does not appear in the photos either. The only time it appears is in the family portrait.”
“Even when it appears in the family portrait, half its face is blocked…”
