Chapter 17 Arahants
"In front of the Buddha of the Third World, under the seat of Sakyamuni, how dare you evil spirits be so presumptuous!"
It was even more exciting than Pei Wende imagined. After Hui Ji confirmed the identity of the old abbot, she stepped into the Main Hall without hesitation.
Pei Wende was stunned at this reckless behavior.
He originally thought that compared with people of this era, he was already bold, reckless, and had unexpected ideas.
But he never expected that this young monk he met not long ago would be bolder than him, and his behavior was completely beyond the logic of normal people.
boom!
The next second, the old abbot, who had been as quiet as a virgin before, suddenly exerted force.
I saw him crushing the floor tiles under his feet like a rabbit, and then he flew into the air and hit Huiji straight with his knee.
Bang!
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Huiji also showed a fierceness and agility that was inconsistent with her own.
With a side kick like a bull in the sea, he not only successfully avoided the old abbot's fierce flying knee attack, but also turned his defense into success, aiming directly at the target's waist and abdomen, which was inconvenient to dodge when he was in the air.
However, how could the old abbot who took the initiative to attack not have made any preparations?
He had already prepared his arms and pressed down directly, clamping one of Huiji's legs in an incredible gesture.
Click...
Pei Wende, who was watching, could even hear the crisp sound of bones being dislocated.
There is no doubt that Huiji was at a disadvantage in this round of confrontation and was severely wounded by the old abbot who took the initiative.
"Damn it!"
Fortunately, Hui Ji was not fighting alone. Pei Wende, who realized that something was wrong, had no time to complain about the other party's recklessness. He stretched out his hand, raised his bow and shot out a sharp arrow.
collapse!
Accompanied by the vibrating sound of the bowstring, the powerful bow, which was far beyond the imagination of this era, showed its most aggressive side.
The old abbot, who had gained a brief upper hand just now, decisively opened his arms and stepped back several steps, barely dodging the sharp arrow shot.
"call……"
Exhaling slightly, the old abbot stood motionless again, like a century-old pine, unable to see any impact on him from the brief but violent confrontation before.
——Move like thunder, as quiet as the breeze.
The old abbot who perfectly interpreted this word slowly cast his gaze towards Pei Wende outside the main hall. The sharp and ruthless look in his eyes made him feel even more pressured as he had never experienced such a battle.
【Simply a monster!】
Being able to dodge and shoot a bow and arrow within such a short distance, what else could this be if it wasn't a monster?
In comparison, the four ghosts he had encountered before were as weak as a group of rabbits and could not be compared with them.
The only good thing is that Pei Wende is not fighting alone now.
tumultuous!
Almost at the same time as the old abbot stepped aside, a faint glazed Buddha light suddenly emerged from Huiji's body.
The moment this glazed Buddha light appeared, it healed the wounds he suffered during the battle, and there was no trace of the severe injuries he had just received from the old abbot.
Not only that, after Huiji's injuries were healed, the glazed Buddha light did not disappear. Instead, it formed a ring-shaped halo behind his head, completely illuminating the entire Mahavira Palace.
——Bodhi Buddha Light·Eternal Silence Halo!

"Arahant?!"
This was the first time since the old abbot appeared on the scene that he showed an expression of shock and disbelief.
In fact, not only the old abbot, but even ordinary people like Pei Wende who are not practitioners can see how sacred Huiji's current state is.
Under the illumination of the Bodhi Buddha's light, all evil spirits are revealed and demons are eliminated. It seems that all the evil spirits and crooked ways in the world cannot hide themselves under this Buddha's light.
"Amitabha, it's just a small skill."
Under the illumination of Bodhi Buddha's light, Huiji, who seemed to have regained her composure, said this.
"It's a pity that your 'innocent heart' has fallen to this."
As if responding to Hui Ji's words, the face of the "old abbot" gradually distorted, deformed, and melted under Pei Wende's surprised gaze.
In just a moment, the original old abbot disappeared and was replaced by a skinny young monk with bright eyes.
"Yuande, I remember your master called you this, right?"
The number of monks in Mulian Temple is not that large to begin with, and each of them can only be counted on five fingers.
It happened that after Huiji stayed at Mulian Temple, it was Yuande who arranged the room for him, so he naturally remembered this taciturn young monk.
"Did you know that your master may be a giant monster that cannibalize countless people..."
"Every quarter of an hour you delay now, the lives of other monks and pilgrims in the temple may be in danger."
Facing Huiji's persuasion, Yuande still maintained his calm expression.
Just from the slightly raised corners of his mouth, Pei Wende seemed to see a hint of ridicule and disdain.
"It seems like you don't think so?"
Under the light of Changji Buddha, Huiji, who seemed to have some ability to see into people's hearts, frowned slightly.
"You deliberately stepped into the Main Hall, didn't you just want to test what is hidden here?"
Finally, Yuan De did not remain silent any longer, but asked in that unabashedly sarcastic tone.
"I can tell you clearly that I am here just to delay time."
Her pupils tightened unconsciously, and Hui Ji heard something bad in Yuan De's words. As soon as she turned around, she saw that the palace door that was originally wide open opened automatically without any wind.
Squeak!
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching friction sound, the door of the Main Hall was just as abruptly closed as it was when it was opened.
"I knew this was going to cause trouble!"
Pei Wende instinctively kicked the closed door, and to his surprise, Pei Wende found that the door could no longer be opened.
It was as if an invisible barrier had enveloped and sealed the entire hall. There was no way to open this invisible barrier from the outside.
No, Pei Wende even suspected that there was no way to open it from the inside.
After all, the guy inside was much more cruel than him, and this "trap" was originally aimed at that guy.
"Don't worry about me for now, there's nothing wrong with me."
Just when Pei Wende was thinking about how to open the door, Hui Ji's voice suddenly came from inside.
"You first go to the side rooms in the backyard and take a look. I suspect the old abbot should be there now."
"We must stop him from hurting others!"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of fighting came from the Main Hall again.
And this time, along with the sound came the looming Buddha's light, and some kind of strange brilliance that was almost gray-black.
