#240 - "Vajra Subduing Demon Circle"

“Amitabha~”

The night was already deep when Liang Yue, surrounded by purple light, was sitting cross-legged in the small hills, concentrating on meditation and cultivation.

A sudden Buddhist chant floated into his ears, startling him from his practice.

Liang Yue immediately opened his eyes and, through the only remaining ventilation hole, glanced at the empty night scene outside.

He calmed the little King Kong beside him and stuffed it into his chest pocket.

Then, with a thought, he changed into his Great White Dog suit, chiseled open the hole in front of him, and walked out leisurely.

After a few breaths, a group of Shaolin monks immediately surrounded him, holding long sticks in their hands, forming a battle formation, and looking menacing, as if they were well-prepared.

“May I ask, benefactor, what brings you to my Shaoshi Mountain?”

At this moment, three disheveled old monks, with uncut hair and white hair draped over their shoulders, separated from the crowd and walked out.

Du'e, Dujie, Dunan…

According to the original plot, none of these three old monks could be considered top-tier martial artists, but precisely because they were aware of their own limitations, they united to practice a set of Shaolin Temple's combined combat techniques.

《Vajra Subduing Demon Circle》~

After more than thirty years of secluded hard work, they finally reached a state of perfect understanding and were confident that they could use it to deal with everyone in the world.

Even Zhang Wuji, the protagonist favored by fate, invited many experts to help, but he was repeatedly defeated by them.

In the end, even Zhang Sanfeng was invited out, and they were barely able to gain a slight advantage.

And these three monks of the Du generation are currently the highest combat power left behind in the Shaolin Temple.

In addition to them, the Eighteen Copper Men of Shaolin Temple should also be present.

However, these three Du monks actually have some martial arts obsessed attributes, and have been in seclusion for many years, not asking about worldly affairs.

According to the records in the original plot, even when the imperial army bloodbathed Shaolin, the three of them did not leave their seclusion to fight the enemy, and a large number of monks died in vain.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the location of their seclusion was relatively far from Shaolin Temple.

So the question now is, why did Liang Yue get approached by them as soon as he went up the mountain, before he even officially entered the temple?

Could it be that my expert aura is too obvious…

“May I ask, benefactor, what is the opportunity you speak of?”

“Waiting for the imperial army to attack you, anyway, it’s just a matter of these one or two days.”

After hearing his words, the expressions of everyone present changed, but the three Du monks on the opposite side still maintained their composure.

After pondering for a while, they continued to ask.

“…Then, does benefactor want to take advantage of this opportunity~”

“To take advantage of the fire and loot a bit.

I have long heard that Shaolin Temple's martial arts are superb, and it is the leader of the righteous martial arts world.

The four great divine skills and unique techniques in the temple are even more famous.

I just want to borrow them for appreciation.”

Liang Yue spat out his bright red tongue from his dog's mouth at this time, but his tone seemed a little boastful.

At least, this is how it sounded to the monks around him~

“How unreasonable!

How dare you say such shameless words with such peace of mind!”

A monk who looked to be in his thirties, with a vigorous spirit, a fierce aura, and a face full of beard, pointed at him and roared at this time.

“Anyway, even if I wasn’t here, your family’s Kung Fu would have been searched and plundered by those Yuan Mongols.

Oh~ I forgot, you seem to have a close relationship with those people from the imperial court, right?

Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, it seems that you have been well taken care of.

Could it be that the Kung Fu in your temple has already been sent to them for reference?”

Liang Yue said with a bit of teasing in his tone at this time, but his heart suddenly moved, and he became even more determined to go to Dadu!

And for this group of monks who think they can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai no matter how the dynasties change, he has always been disdainful.

Only the old abbot of the Shaolin Five Ancestors world before, because of his integrity, could be looked at differently by Liang Yue!

“Bold!

How dare you slander my Shaolin reputation!

Take him down for me!”

Hearing his words, the bearded monk suddenly widened his eyes and shouted with a flushed face.

As soon as he finished speaking, the monks around him shouted in unison and rushed towards Liang Yue with wooden sticks.

“Heh heh heh~ Listening to it, the momentum does have some bloodiness, but it’s a pity that it’s used in the wrong place.”

Saying that, Liang Yue suddenly tapped his feet, and with his two fingers together, the whole person instantly turned into a phantom and disappeared in place.

“Aww~” “Ugh~” “Ah~” …

With a sudden advance, he had already broken into the crowd, using his fingers like swords, and the afterimages were mottled.

Along with a burst of chaotic muffled groans, patches of monks fell to the ground.

However, Liang Yue didn't use any heavy hands this time, but used the Jiemai hand technique in the Great Hammer Fist to knock these people to the ground.

With his speed far exceeding ordinary people, the stick monks did not have a single opponent.

In just one encounter, they all lost their ability to resist.

A few unlucky ones, unable to dodge in time, were even knocked away by Liang Yue's high-speed moving body.

Although this was just his unintentional act, the other party could not avoid ending up with broken bones and tendons!

Amidst the screams of the monks, in just a few breaths, the seventy or eighty Shaolin monks surrounding him, including the bearded monk from before, had instantly fallen to the ground, more than half of them.

"Stop!"

Just then, one of the Three Crossings stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Liang Yue didn't continue his attack. He returned to the center of the arena, looked at the solemn expression of the other party, and asked.

"What's wrong, has Master changed his mind?"

"... Amitabha, thank you, Benefactor, for your benevolence in not harming the lives of my Shaolin monks. This old monk is grateful. However, obtaining the secret manuals of Shaolin's Four Great Divine Arts is not so easy."

At this point, the other two monks behind him stepped forward and continued.

"Our three brothers have low martial arts skills, but we have a set of combined techniques to subdue enemies that we can still put forward. If Benefactor can defeat the three of us,

Shaolin Temple will willingly present the Four Great Divine Arts and allow Benefactor to read them for one hour."

"But if you lose, please stay in Shaolin Temple to practice Buddhism. We monks are willing to chant Buddhist scriptures for you all day long, to eliminate the karma on your body."

"Heh heh~! Not a bad idea. I've heard that the Three Crossings of Shaolin have been secluded from the world for a long time, cultivating the Vajra Buddha Demon Circle for decades. Presumably, you have now achieved success and reached the Great Accomplishment realm in this technique, right?

Then please, I would like to see the skills of the three Masters."

As he spoke, his figure flashed again, and after a few breaths, he released the restrictions on the monks who had been hit by the Meridian Severing Hand.

Seeing this, the Three Crossings bowed to Liang Yue in thanks, and then led him to a spacious martial arts field in Shaolin Temple.

Seeing this, Liang Yue didn't waste any more words and came to the very center of the martial arts field in a generous manner.

The Three Crossings exchanged glances, and then, with tacit understanding, they circulated their lightness skills and stood around him in a triangular formation, surrounding him in the middle.

On the outer perimeter of the martial arts field, there were many other monks standing, including the bearded man from before.

...

"Please~"

Liang Yue looked around at this time, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and then he stretched out his hand to the Three Crossings.

"Amitabha~ Benefactor, please enlighten us!"

Seeing this, the three old monks glared at him at the same time and took out a black iron chain from their wide sleeves, which clattered to the ground.

With the injection of golden inner force, the iron chain instantly seemed to come to life.

Like three tacitly coordinated spirit snakes, they shot out from different directions and struck towards Liang Yue in the middle.

"I dare not presume to enlighten you, but I do have some of my own insights when it comes to breaking formations."

As he spoke, Liang Yue lightly tapped his feet, and his whole body instantly moved lightly to the side, his speed as fast as lightning.

The iron chains controlled by the Three Crossings couldn't react at all. The encirclement of the three iron chains all missed, causing everyone around to be stunned.

"I once heard someone say that all martial arts in the world, no matter how strong, can be broken with speed. I think this sentence should also be useful for your formation."

As soon as the words fell, Liang Yue's whole person appeared like a ghost beside the monk who only had one eye left. According to his understanding of the plot, this person should be Ferrying Calamity among the Three Crossings.

"Be careful!"

Under the simultaneous reminder of the other two Crossings, the Ferrying Calamity monk was immediately shocked and immediately used his lightness skill to try to escape, but it was too late.

I saw Liang Yue pointing like lightning at this time, the purple rhyme flashing at his fingertips, easily piercing the old monk's body-protecting true energy, and then quickly tapping twice on his waist.

In an instant, Ferrying Calamity fell softly to the ground like this.

"Ha ah~~~"

The monks outside the field were in an uproar.

However, this was not the end~

Seeing Liang Yue instantly appear beside Ferrying Calamity, the other two Crossing generation old monks, while reminding him, naturally wanted to rescue him.

With a tacit understanding, they subconsciously swung the iron chains at him from the left and right.

Then, they only saw Liang Yue not dodging or avoiding, and the majestic purple clouds instantly swayed, instantly wrapping around his whole body.

Facing the iron chains attacking from the left and right, he just stretched out his sleeves.

A lingering purple haze true energy instantly wrapped around the two iron chains, and like winding around a finger, in just one face-to-face effort, it dissipated the powerful force of the iron chains.

Afterwards, Liang Yue directly grabbed the two iron chains in his hands, and pulled them hard like this!

With a "哗啦" light sound.

The huge force instantly dragged Ferrying Difficulty and Ferrying Tribulation from both sides of the martial arts field.

After the two old monks landed, Liang Yue didn't attack again, but threw the iron chains in his hand on the ground, and looked at the two people with somewhat dazed expressions in front of him and said.

"How is it, three Masters?"

"... Purple Haze Divine Art... Amitabha, the three of us admit defeat!"

Although somewhat unwilling, the two people at this time, after hesitating for a while, still honestly admitted defeat.

Seeing this, Liang Yue immediately lowered his head and released the restrictions of the Meridian Severing Hand for Ferrying Calamity on the ground.

"Then please abide by the agreement, three Masters. I will be here later to read the Four Great Divine Arts of your Shaolin Temple. The time will be as the three of you said before, one hour is enough."
