Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

The Unraging monk just happened to be talking to the Dauntless monk on Great Buddha mountain when his heart skipped a beat, and his face changed drastically. He rushed to the back of the mountain in a hurry and arrived on the eighth floor of the Demon Suppression hall.

“Qingshan,what happened? Why is this lamp in your possession?”

Li Qingshan sat with his legs crossed in a corner of the hall, fiddling around with the One Lamp monk’s lamp. The speck of firelight had already been extinguished!

In front of him was a Demon Suppression Tower!

“Master, you’re finally here! I managed to save senior brother One Lamp, and in the whole too!”

Li Qingshan placed particular stress towards the end. With a wave of his hand, the Demon Suppression Tower vanished. The One Lamp monk laid inside, currently unconscious. He did not seem injured, but his waist had been stretched out to a point where it was particularly long and slender.

In the final moment earlier, the One Lamp monk’s lamp suddenly erupted with light. Li Qingshan felt the force from the other side of the door loosen, so he took advantage of it and pulled the One Lamp monk back.

When he checked the lamp, it had already run out of oil. Who knew whether it had awakened from the One Lamp monk’s agony, or that the buddhist treasure was intelligent and automatically protected its master!

“What happened?”

At this moment, the Dauntless monk and Xiao An rushed over too.



Li Qingshan explained what had happened. He sighed. “If it weren’t for me, the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would have lost a genius disciple and an arcane treasure. If you still won’t let her go, abbot, that would be far too mean of you!”

Xiao An said, “Qingshan, the abbot has already agreed to let me accompany you to the South Sea commandery!”

“That’s fantastic!” Li Qingshan rejoiced and smiled. “The abbot has a clear sight of the greater good. Even we, the disciples of the younger generation, have been motivated by you!”

The Dauntless monk shot a fierce glance at him and waved his hand. Golden light scattered down.

The One Lamp monk roused slowly. His eyes were still rather lost.

The Unraging monk suddenly smacked him over the head, A Blow and a Shout!

The One Lamp monk shuddered, and his eyes cleared up. He looked around and remembered everything that had happened earlier. He felt both ashamed and guilt-ridden, tempted to just throw himself at a pillar and end his life there. He bowed deeply.

“Abbot… I… junior brother… It’s all because my willpower wasn’t firm enough that I was taken advantage of by the demons! Please punish me, abbot!”

The Unraging monk said, “There’s no need for you to blame yourself so much. The thing suppressed down there is one of the Seventy-two Daemon Kings of the past, the Soaring Locust King. His cultivation completely exceeds yours. Even I’m not his opponent. You’ve spent your entire life cultivating in the monastery, so you have a pure mind. That’s both your advantage as well as your flaw, just like how the pure are easy to defile. This disciple of mine has always been a rock from latrine, both foul and tough, which is why I don’t have that worry. I didn’t think you’d develop a competitive mentality of blindly comparing yourself to others!”

Chapter 752: The Insect that Broke Free, a Promise of the Past | Legend of the Great Sage




“You’re too kind, master!”

Li Qingshan laughed and took no offence.

“I don’t even compare to a ten-thousandth of junior brother Qingshan’s talent. It would be impossible for me to pay him back with the kindness he’s shown by saving my life, so please accept a bow from me!” The One Lamp monk bowed deeply towards Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan accepted it calmly. He smiled. “As long as you don’t blame me for almost pulling you apart.”

“If I ended up in the hands of the demons, I’d definitely suffer a fate worse than death. Even if I ended up dying unfortunately, I’d still have to thank junior brother for sending me off!”

The Dauntless monk became filled with endless pity again. He had heard from the Unraging monk that Li Qingshan had actually undergone the second heavenly tribulation many years ago. Such talent and willpower were all that of a one-in-a-hundred-year genius. He definitely was on par with One Will. If he could become a formal disciple, he would definitely become a mainstay of the monastery.

However, he was staunch, so he could not be forced into anything against his will. Fortunately, the Unraging monk had accepted him as a disciple, establishing a tie with the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. He would not have to worry about him refusing to help out in the future either.

Leaving the Demon Suppression hall, the setting sun illuminated the valley, dyeing everything red.

The One Lamp monk sucked in a deep breath. He felt like he had returned to the human world. The Dauntless monk sent him back to rest. He thanked Li Qingshan again before turning towards Great Buddha mountain, and his footsteps became firmer and firmer.

Right when he was about to step into the defensive formations of the monastery, a tiny egg almost invisible to the naked eye burrowed out of a pore on the back of his neck and landed in a bush. The One Lamp monk was completely unaware of this.

The egg hatched very quickly and turned into a pinky-sized locust. It flew through the bushes, leaving Great Buddha mountain quickly. Only when it reached over fifty kilometers away did it stop on a tree and begin munching away at the leaves furiously.

The locust rapidly grew in size, absorbing the spiritual qi of the world strand by strand. Before long, it had reached the size of a fist. With a buzz of its wings, it flew even further away.

……

The Dauntless monk said, “One Will, if you must go, I won’t force you to stay. The Mist province cannot compare to the Green province. The South Sea commandery is filled with dangers and is over ten thousand kilometers away from here. If you encounter any dangers, even I cannot rescue you in time. You only have yourself to rely on.”

“I understand!” Xiao An said.

The Unraging monk repaired Li Qingshan’s prayer bead; then he said, “Qingshan, just keep it as a memorial! The South Sea commandery is too far away. Even if you crush the prayer bead, I won’t be going there! You’re better off relying on yourself than relying on others! Take care of yourself!”

“I understand.” Li Qingshan pursed his lips and clasped his hands. “Then we’ll be bidding farewell!”

Right when he was about to leave, a voice said meekly, “Senior brother!”

“Duoge! Oh, I almost forgot. Here, this is for you. I’m giving you two for the one I borrowed, so you better not say your senior brother is not generous enough!” Li Qingshan passed the demon hearts of two Demon Commanders to Duoge.

“No, no, no! That’s not what I meant!” Duoge shoved a handful of demon hearts into Li Qingshan’s hand.

“What’s this?” Li Qingshan was rather surprised. Only then did he notice that the string of prayer beads around Duoge’s neck was much shorter. There were thirty to forty demon hearts in that handful at the very least, all shining brightly. They were of great quality.

“I heard the South sea is dangerous, so these are for you. I have no use for them right now anyway!” Duoge said shyly.

Li Qingshan was very touched, giving him a great hug. “Kid, I’ve remembered your kind intentions. I’ll definitely pay you back double in the future!”

Afterwards, he glanced at the Dauntless monk and the Unraging monk in contempt. So much for eminent monks of buddhism. You aren’t even as sensible as a little demonfolk!
