Chapter 163: Do you know the Sacred Heart Manual?
“Senior Martial Brother, you just don’t understand.” The hunched monk said softly: “Killing, it’s truly enjoyable!”
“You just don’t understand how satisfying it is to kill those who used to bully and humiliate you!”
“How could you understand? I’ve been in the temple for forty years, and you’ve only been here for ten. Yet I have to call you Senior Martial Brother!”
“How could you understand my feelings?”
The hunched monk spoke in a flat tone, but anyone listening would feel that he was not quite right.
“Form is emptiness, emptiness is form! We are all monks practicing Zen, so how can there be any Senior or Junior Martial Brothers?” The tall monk rebuked: “This is a discriminating mind.”
“Then Senior Martial Brother, how about you call me Senior Martial Brother once?” The hunched monk said.
“…”
The tall monk remained silent.
“Heh… hehe… hahahahaha!” The hunched monk first chuckled softly, then burst into unrestrained laughter, laughing until he started to cough.
“The rule of the temple is that whoever has higher cultivation is the Senior Martial Brother! Junior Martial Brother, you have been the last one for eighteen consecutive years. If you are not the Junior Martial Brother, who is?” The tall monk looked at the hunched monk vigilantly.
He felt that as the hunched monk laughed wildly, the cultivation level on his body was like a flame slowly burning, constantly rising.
Something’s wrong!
“Hehe… After all, whoever has the bigger fist is the Senior Martial Brother, that’s reasonable!” The hunched monk said: “Whoever has the bigger fist is the master, that’s also reasonable!”
“Was Martial Uncle Faming really killed by you?” The tall monk asked.
Faming was the master of the hunched monk in front of him, and like him, was at the Qi Sea realm.
This means that the hunched monk in front of him already had the strength to kill a Qi Sea realm martial artist!
“Forty years ago, I spent all my family’s wealth to join Zhai Xin Temple, wholeheartedly thinking I could become a Buddha Master.” The hunched monk did not answer, but instead fell into reminiscence, he said:
“As a result, just because I didn’t offer him any filial piety in the first year, he deducted my food, making it impossible for me to reach Blood and Qi Completion.”
“The second year, he did the same. I knew he was waiting for me to bow my head, waiting for me to beg him. My family’s wealth was already gone, where could I get any extra money?”
“Helpless, I could only borrow from loan sharks, kneeling and begging him to let me off. I only hoped to collect more alms the next year to repay the loan sharks.”
“In the third year, just because of a small matter, I accidentally offended him, and he sent me to a remote place to collect alms, saying it was for training.”
“That year, I was almost beaten to death by the loan sharks! They only gave me another year because of my monk’s robes.”
“Every year, I get up early and work late to collect alms. Besides giving it to the temple, I have to give it to them. Where do I have any silver left for cultivation?”
“In the annual temple examinations, when I was young, I could still get some ranking by relying on my abundant Blood and Qi. Eighteen years ago, I was already over thirty-five years old, my Blood and Qi had declined, and I had no ranking anymore.”
“I became a waste in the temple, my peers looked down on me, and he looked down on me too. I still had to humble myself to beg for a living in the temple, just to repay their money.”
“Originally, I just thought that I was young and ignorant back then, and it was because I didn’t understand the rules and didn’t offer him filial piety that led to this chain reaction.”
“Later, I accidentally learned from others that he was the person behind the loan sharks.”
“From the moment I sold off my family’s property, he saw me as a silver-producing piglet.”
“For so many years, he doesn’t know how much money he has squeezed out of me!”
After listening to the hunched monk’s past, the tall monk only said lightly: “Junior Martial Brother, everything is fate, everything is arranged by Buddha! Buddha is using the suffering of the world to make you enlightened and understand yourself!”
He had already seen that something was wrong with the hunched monk, and he was stalling for time. Before coming, he had already made an agreement with the abbot that if the conversation took too long, there must be a change, and then the abbot would bring people to directly kill their way in!

As for the hunched monk’s words, in his view, it was just the wailing of the weak.
That’s how the Jianghu is, the strong have advantages, while the weak can only wail.
Weakness is the biggest sin!
Weakness is the biggest mistake!
Who made you weak?
“Hehehe…” The hunched monk chuckled again and continued: “Originally, I thought I would have no hope of revenge in this lifetime.”
“But I met Sage Shi.” The hunched monk’s voice suddenly changed, becoming reverent.
“The Sage supported me and taught me the 《Sacred Heart Manual》!”
“Do you know the 《Sacred Heart Manual》?”
“It’s the secret scripture of the Sacred Heart Cult. There are so many people in the cult, but only by comprehending the 《Sacred Heart Manual》, achieving a saint born in the heart, and being unrestrained by anything can one become a true member of the Sacred Heart Cult!”
A powerful voice came from outside the monk’s hall, it was the abbot of Zhai Xin Temple.
“What Sacred Heart Cult, it’s the Demon Heart Cult! The Living Buddha of Tian Fo Temple in Jing Province has ordered that any followers of the Demon Heart Cult found will be sent to the eighteen levels of hell! Moreover, you beast even killed your master, your crime is truly heinous!”
“Fellow Martial Brothers, let’s take down this beast together!”
All of them were at the Qi Sea realm, Zhai Xin Temple didn’t even have a Celestial Cycle martial artist, they could only rely on the influence of Tian Fo Temple in Jingzhou City.
After all, Tian Fo Temple had a True Realm martial artist, a True Realm martial artist in the Buddhist sect was respectfully called a Living Buddha.
Legend has it that when Buddha achieved enlightenment, he was at the True Realm.
The abbot of Zhai Xin Temple, leading three or four Qi Sea realm martial artists, surrounded the monk’s quarters as he spoke. Shi Feizhe sat openly above the monk’s quarters, watching the excitement.
The gap between them and Shi Feizhe was too big.
As long as Shi Feizhe concealed his aura, in their eyes, Shi Feizhe was like a shadow, non-existent.
Shi Feizhe didn’t expect that he could encounter something interesting to watch just by going to the kitchen to make a late-night snack.
Eh~ Speaking of which, the Jianghu is indeed more lively at night.
“Are you all here?” The hunched monk ignored the tall monk in front of him, walked out of the door, and left the monk’s quarters.
When the hunched monk walked past the tall monk, the tall monk seemed to see a monster in the hunched monk’s shadow.
“I know he’s waiting for you, and I’m waiting for you too!” The hunched monk said, seeing that all the Qi Sea realm martial artists of Zhai Xin Temple had arrived: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
“Insolent!” The abbot roared, and then a golden dragon appeared behind him, flying towards the hunched monk along with the abbot’s palm strike.
The martial arts inheritance of their Zhai Xin Temple was a copy of 《The Sutra of the Heavenly Dragon King》.
“A saint born in the heart, unrestrained by anything!” The hunched monk looked at the abbot surrounded by the golden dragon and said calmly: “What is a saint?”
“A saint is within the depths of one’s heart, facing his pain, looking directly at his confusion, overcoming his cowardice, only then can one recognize oneself. Knowing what one pursues, knowing what one wants to do, hence being unrestrained by anything!”
“With it, I no longer have to worry about you ants!”
With a “boom”, the hunched monk’s momentum surged, from See the Truth to Qi Sea, from Qi Sea to Celestial Cycle!
A black dragon shadow appeared along with his punch, directly turning the abbot into a pile of meat paste!
I made a mistake and posted the wrong chapter while editing. I’ll adjust it tomorrow, I won’t retract it.
