"Okay, I believe Grandpa."

As Sun Xiaoya was completely relieved, she who should not have stayed in this world began to emit a little bit of fluorescence, and her body disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Ouch!"

Without Sun Xiaoya's suppression, the young man behind him instantly turned into a ferocious evil ghost with a green face, fangs, and claws.

In other words, this is the true face of evil spirits.

"Master Fudo, wrath manifests!"

However, before the ferocious evil spirit could pounce on him, Pei Wende, who had formed the Vajra Seal on one hand, suddenly took a step forward and directly pressed the seal on the opponent's forehead.

tumultuous!

Between the electric light and flint, a golden light from the inside out emanated from Pei Wende's body.

That is not the pure light of Bodhi Buddha, nor is it the golden light of merit formed by the vows of sentient beings...

That ray of golden light is the proof of Pei Wende's spiritual practice and the proof of his attainment of "Arahant" status.

Like the legendary golden Arhat, Bui Wende, who was radiating golden light, lowered his eyebrows and chanted sutras. The Sanskrit sounds slowly turned into the actual "swastika" character to completely suppress the evil ghost.

——Bodhi Buddha Light·Immortal Golden Body!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Arahant?!"

His eyes suddenly widened like bells. The old man looked at Pei Wende, who was glowing with golden light. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Arhat means a person who has achieved enlightenment and a saint in the world.

In the understanding of many practitioners, it is the last state for Buddhist practitioners before the six roots are cut off and worldly attachments are resolved. It is also the highest state after perfect Buddhahood and equal enlightenment Bodhisattva.

Converted to the Taoist cultivation realm of the same level, it is the realm of immortals where "refining gods and returning them to virtual reality".

Practitioners in this realm have transcended all living beings and are devas in the true sense—that is, innate beings.

Not to mention various magical powers and spells, its lifespan alone is five hundred years, and it is no longer on the same level as normal mortal beings.

Although the old man had seen before that Pei Wende was not an ordinary practitioner, he did not expect that the other party would actually be a Buddhist disciple who had achieved the status of Arahant.

When such a being awakens itself, abandons the root of troubles, and cultivates its own Buddha Dharma, it is the incarnation of the Buddha walking in the world, and can be called a "living Buddha" in any branch of Buddhism.

"Xiao Qing!"

Ignoring the old man's shock, Pei Wende immediately let out a low cry when he was sure that the evil ghost had completely lost the ability to move.

If he could simply beat this evil spirit to pieces, or send it directly to hell to suffer, Pei Wende could do it now.

However, Pei Wende obviously did not intend to do this at this moment.

After all, although Pei Wende has cultivated a golden body, he is not a Buddhist disciple who follows the orthodox path.

Whether it's the compassion to save all sentient beings or the uprightness to distinguish between good and evil, Pei Wende couldn't do it if he asked himself.

Because Pei Wende has always been just a mortal with selfish intentions, a practitioner with some superpowers.

It's okay if you don't know the details.

But now that the situation of Sun Xiaoya and the boy is known, it is really difficult for Pei Wende to deal with this evil ghost as before.

[So, this is why I don’t like to listen to the villains talking about the causes and consequences...]

[Because these so-called tragic past events always easily affect my judgment and decisions. 】

Pei Wende knew in his heart that the most correct thing to do now was to save this evil ghost who had seen blood and killed people before he could comfort those who died in vain.

But now that I can no longer bear to be cruel, I can only change my approach.

"You are always soft-hearted in these places where you shouldn't be soft-hearted..."

After a brief hesitation, Xiaoqing looked at Pei Wende with a firm face, and finally reluctantly spit out an amulet.

This is a stone amulet made of the essence of red silkworm stone, indigo crystal, shadow stone, beeswax stone and cloud sea stone.

Its image comes from the legendary Lord of the Pure Glaze World, Medicine Buddha. It is also the Buddha who symbolizes the "past" and "east" among the three Buddhas.

Ever since the "mirage incident", Bui Wende has always wanted to make an amulet with healing and protective abilities.

After accumulating many failed experiences, Pei Wende finally succeeded in making a stone amulet with some of the abilities of the Medicine Buddha.

Although it is not as good as a real magic weapon, this stone amulet can heal and protect the holder with its own "pure glass light".

Pei Wende's intention of taking out this stone amulet at this moment is very obvious, that is, he hopes to use this stone amulet to capture and purify the evil ghost in front of him.

"Ouch!"

As if aware of the coming danger, the evil ghost suppressed by the seal roared again.

Unfortunately, it only had time to roar before it was completely restrained by the stone amulet made by Pei Wende.

Click...

There was a sound like rocks breaking, and the stone tablet amulet that originally took on the shape of the Medicine Buddha became a little bit evil, as if it was possessed by an evil spirit.

"That'll be fine."

Holding the stone amulet that looked more like an evil ghost than a Buddha, Pei Wende turned and looked at the old man behind him.

"This evil spirit is imprisoned here now..."

"From now on, it will be baptized by the 'Light of Pure Glass' day and night until its sins are completely washed away."

Compared to losing his soul or going directly to hell, this evil ghost's current fate is the best outcome.

At least in Pei Wende's view, he has fulfilled his promise to Sun Xiaoya.

As for whether this evil ghost can finally be freed?

Then it depends on its own destiny and the determination of the witch doctor in front of it.

"But this stone amulet is not a real magic weapon after all..."

"If you want it to maintain its effectiveness for a long time, someone must hold this spell and recite the Medicine Buddha's Heart Sutra every day to strengthen the magical effect of the 'Light of Pure Glaze'."

After Pei Wende said this, he did not speak again, but looked at the old man calmly.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to want to cross me?"

There was a silent silence for a while, and then the old man gave a helpless smile.

"But who asked me to agree to that girl?"

"If that's the case, then I, an old man like me, should reluctantly become this 'man who chants sutras'!"

"From today on, I will recite the Heart Sutra of the Medicine Master devoutly every day for the rest of my life until I successfully liberate this evil ghost."

After solemnly taking down the promise, the old man closed his eyes and sighed.

"I have lived a life of wantonness, but in the end I have to always be with the Ancient Buddha of Green Lanterns. My life can be considered a legend!"
