Chapter 351 Benboerba
"Keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully! The King has ordered that that kid might come back! Keep your eyes wide open and don't let any suspicious people in!" Outside the valley, a little demon who looked like a leader shouted to the demons below.
It seems that the demonic monk was well aware that the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl could only blow people away, not actually kill them. That's why he ordered his lesser demons to intensify patrols outside, in order to prevent Lin Fei from returning to cause trouble.
However, these little monsters were simply no match for Lin Fei, and couldn't even detect him.
With Lin Fei's strength, he could have easily walked in openly, but to avoid trouble, he chose to sneak into the valley, avoiding the notice of these little demons.
After all, while the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl couldn't harm anyone, being blown away again would be troublesome. Moreover, if it were blown away again and, if unlucky, ended up in a dangerous place, that would be disastrous. After witnessing the dilapidated temple and the Vajra statue, Lin Fei had no doubt that there were beings in this world capable of threatening his life.
……
Lin Fei evaded the eyes and ears of the lesser demons and sneaked into the valley. The demon disguised as a Buddhist bodhisattva was completely unaware of Lin Fei's arrival.
The demonic monk was startled when Lin Fei's voice rang out behind him.
"You do look somewhat like a high-ranking Buddhist monk, even if you're a fake, you've put on a very convincing act." Lin Fei said with a sneer as he approached the demonic monk from behind.
The demonic monk was startled by the voice behind him. Just as he was about to make a move, Lin Fei's hand was already on his neck.
Although the Wind-Fixing Pearl could not threaten Lin Fei's life, it would be troublesome if it were blown away again. The best way was to prevent this guy from having the opportunity to use the Wind-Fixing Pearl again.
Lin Fei gripped the demonic monk's neck tightly with one hand, like an iron clamp, and said coldly, "Don't move, or your life will be in danger!"
The demonic monk clearly recognized Lin Fei's voice, since the two had only been fighting for a short time.
Lin Fei's strength was far superior to his own. If he didn't use the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl, he would be no match for Lin Fei. With things having come to this, the demonic monk could only accept his fate, sighing, "Great Immortal, I have no past grudges or recent enmities with you. Why do you keep coming to provoke me?"
"It's nothing, I just need to ask you a few questions," Lin Fei replied. "If you answer obediently, I'll naturally spare your life. But if you dare to utter even a single lie..."
At this point, Lin Fei suddenly tightened his grip, making the guy's breathing quicken. He quickly replied, "Great Immortal, please ask whatever you want. I will answer everything I know."
"Alright, let's start by telling you your identity?" Lin Fei nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "You're not going to tell me you're actually a Buddhist bodhisattva, are you?"
"How could I possibly be a Buddhist bodhisattva?" the demon monk said with a wry smile. "With your keen eyesight, Great Immortal, you must have already seen through me. I am merely a demon who happened to obtain the Wind-Fixing Pearl, a Buddhist treasure, and only with its help did I cultivate a few strands of Buddhist energy."
He added in his mind, "If I were truly a Buddhist bodhisattva, I would have killed you long ago. Would you even have the chance to threaten me?"
Lin Fei chuckled lightly and said, "Alright, then tell me your background! If I find out you've told even a single lie, you'll lose your head!"
"I dare not utter a single lie!" the demon monk hurriedly replied. "Reporting to the Great Immortal, my name is 'Benbo'erba,' and I am a demon general under the Nine-Headed King of Bibo Pool. Originally, relying on the Nine-Headed King's power, I lived a rather comfortable life. Later, when the Golden Cicada Master and his disciples passed by Bibo Pool, the King died at the hands of the Monkey King and Erlang Shen. I almost lost my life as well. After escaping with my life, I hid in the deep mountains to cultivate. Later, I heard that there were strange occurrences in the heavens and earth, and that countless great gods had perished, so I dared to come out and settled in this place."
Lin Fei first felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name "Benboerba". Then, upon hearing the name of the Nine-Headed King of Bibo Pool, he was even more surprised. Finally, upon hearing the names of Jin Chanzi and his disciples, Erlang Shen, he was so astonished that he almost jumped up from the ground.
No wonder he felt he'd heard the monster's name somewhere before. Wasn't this the monster mentioned in the ancient classic "Journey to the West" he'd read in his previous life?
Could it be that the system's copy space was actually created by the system based on those myths and legends?
Lin Fei had a vague feeling that things weren't so simple, because many of the great gods in the legends of his previous life actually existed in the vast world. And the Golden Cicada Master and his disciples, and Erlang Shen, mentioned by this monster, might also have truly existed in ancient times, and weren't created by the system.
Lin Fei suddenly felt something pulsating violently within the storage space. However, since the system's storage space had been sealed, the contents could not escape, and Lin Fei was unable to see what was causing the disturbance within the system's storage space.
"Great Immortal, Great Immortal." Seeing that Lin Fei remained silent for a long time, Benboerba cautiously spoke up, afraid that Lin Fei might take his life if he became displeased.
Lin Fei immediately came to his senses and continued to ask, "Since you are an ordinary demon, where did you get the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl in your hand?"
This Wind-Fixing Pearl is a Buddhist treasure that even Lin Fei couldn't resist; it's simply impossible for a small, ordinary demon to obtain it.
"I would never dare to deceive you, Immortal," Benbo'erba said repeatedly. "After I left the deep mountains, I heard that the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect had both perished. The Heavenly Court has vanished without a trace, and the Buddhist sect has only left behind the ruins of Leiyin Temple. I thought I might try my luck in these ruins, perhaps finding some treasures left behind by Buddha or Bodhisattva. But I was attacked by a stone statue in the ruins and almost lost my life. I was so frightened that I ran hundreds of miles away. But I happened to find this Wind-Fixing Pearl."
Lin Fei pondered for a moment. What this guy said probably wasn't a lie. There was indeed a Vajra statue guarding the temple ruins. With this guy's cultivation level, it was already a miracle he survived. It was also thanks to Lin Fei's past cultivation of Buddhist techniques that he could create a phantom of Immovable King in his primordial spirit domain; otherwise, even Lin Fei would probably have had a hard time taking down that Vajra statue.
However, there was a piece of information in Benboerba's words that Lin Fei was more concerned about—that was the "Leiyin Temple" he mentioned.
