Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 151: Chapter 118 Monk Hongyun_3

Monk Hongyun looked at Su Mo in shock, seemingly forgetting how to speak for a moment.

But after a short while, he came to his senses and sighed, “That’s right, after all, this matter originated from me. If it were Benefactor in my place, I’m afraid you would not have left easily without seeing the Evil People repent.”

Su Mo, however, shook his head, “Maybe I wouldn’t have acted at all. There are too many injustices in this world, how could I possibly manage them all?”

The old monk seemed thoughtful upon hearing this, but then he heard Su Mo ask, “How did Master handle it back then?”

The old monk thought for a moment and said, “I… did not act.”

“It’s only human nature.”

Su Mo nodded. The old monk was a bit stubborn, often getting stuck on details.

However, as an outsider, he wasn’t in a position to criticize.

The old monk sighed again, “Nevertheless, this matter has weighed on my mind for years, hard to let go. Later, I entered the monastery, seeking liberation. It wasn’t until years later that I found some understanding…”

“I would like to hear more about it.”

“It’s the Suffering People Scripture…”

Monk Hongyun sighed, “After entering monastic life, I explored the profound mysteries of the body, enduring hardships and suffering, ultimately composing a scripture named ’Suffering People’. Living in a sea of suffering, the body is but a boat. However, the troubles of the world arise from this same body, so, to make people come to sudden realization, one must start with the body.

“Pain the flesh externally, embrace Buddhist Law internally, only then is true enlightenment possible.”

“Is it possible?”

Su Mo slightly curved his lips.

“That’s the way it is.”

The old monk smiled bitterly, sighed, “The torments of the flesh, how could they really convince people? It is but a way to keep them here in the temple, using this as invisible chains, turning the temple into a prison, hoping that over time, Buddhist teachings and rationale will erode the malevolence in them.”

“Master is very considerate, it is admirable.”

Su Mo clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

The old monk shook his head, “What considerate? It’s merely out of helplessness. In my whole life, I haven’t found a real solution to this. Previously, I occasionally heard Benefactor Su’s actions in Xuanji Valley from passing guests and deeply admired them.

“My respect for Benefactor does not stem from your ability to kill Evil People with exceptional martial arts.

“Rather, it’s that even when you are capable of killing them, you still prioritize the safety of the majority.

“This act, crushing the Youquan Sect, indeed saved many experts on the Righteous Path in the Southwest with minimal losses. It was a display of both intelligence and courage, far surpassing me.

“Seeing you today…”

“Did I disappoint the Master?”

Su Mo asked with a smile.

The old monk shook his head again, “Indeed remarkable, allowing me further insight.”

“…”

Su Mo’s lips twitched, sensing the old monk’s insights could be somewhat dangerous.

Previously having insight led to the creation of the Suffering People Scripture, turning these Green Forest Road bandit chiefs into what they are now.

Now with new insights, who knows who might suffer…

Inwardly murmuring, curiosity arose:

“Master has been here for so long, why only act now?”

This was naturally about capturing these bandit chiefs and applying the Suffering People Scripture.

Monk Hongyun did not hide, “Previously I felt I was not an enemy against these many Evil Bandits, but now my martial arts have improved…”

Su Mo realized; in the past, he couldn’t beat them, but now he could, naturally, it was time to act.

But then, the old monk suddenly took out a scroll from his robe and handed it over.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Su Mo reached out and accepted it.

The booklet had no text, just two or three thin pages, randomly opened, it seemed like three martial arts moves.

“This is?”

Su Mo looked at the old monk somewhat astonished.

Monk Hongyun lightly smiled, “Benefactor is one of the few young and talented men in the Southwest, intelligent and brave, generous and noble.

“Having the honor of seeing you today, I cannot let you return empty-handed. This booklet records three Finger Skills from the Suffering People Scripture that I have realized, called: Three Days of Pain.

“This method uses a special Qi Movement Skill, directing Inner Strength into Acupoints, causing extreme pain for those affected.

“Even if attempting to calm it with inner breath, it is difficult to endure.

“Benefactor runs an escort agency, and inevitably you will encounter more Green Forest Bandits, those who rely on their martial arts to kill and plunder.

“Yet, you cannot always resort to killing. This Three Days of Pain is given to you for disciplining Evil People.”

“This…”

Su Mo was momentarily speechless and could only say, “It’s our first meeting, Master, how could I just accept such a generous gift without reason?”

“This object is predestined for Benefactor, please do not refuse it.”

As the old monk said this, he closed his eyes, falling silent.

Outside, the little monk spoke, “Benefactor, the rain has stopped, you should depart now.”

Inside, Su Mo couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh and stood up to bow solemnly, “Thank you for your generous gift, Master.”

The old monk was like entering a deep meditation, his head bowed, breathing barely noticeable.

Su Mo had no choice but to turn and leave, guided out by the little monk.

Passing by the courtyard, he saw the back door open, several fierce-looking monks walking in, one casually carrying a person, one of Ban Tiankuang’s subordinates who had escaped earlier.

Behind the monks, several others dragged several people along, showing no mercy despite their bloodied bodies.

Su Mo glanced at the little reception monk who was leading the way with a cheery smile, turning a blind eye to the scene, clearly used to it.

As for the traders in the main hall, now that the rain had stopped, they too were about to leave. Hongyun Temple had no intention of detaining them, naturally allowing them to go.

For a moment, the temple’s entrance was rather busy, with carriages coming and going, everyone departing far.
