Upon hearing Shi Shengyi, the abbot of Doushi Temple, say this, Shen Qiang angrily retorted, "You're lying! Monks are human too, and as humans, they have various desires. Whether they become monks or return to secular life, that's their own problem. What does that have to do with you killing people?"
Shi Shengyi, the abbot of Doushi Temple, responded sternly with gleaming eyes, "Outrageous! My Buddha is compassionate, but still requires disciples to serve. If all the young disciples return to secular life, leaving no incense in the temple, how can we spread the Dharma?"
Shen Qiang frowned, "What does that have to do with you killing people?"
The abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, stared into Shen Qiang's eyes and said in a deep voice, "All living beings, from the moment of birth, have strengths and weaknesses, a hierarchy of status. In a group of lions, there is a king lion, among tigers a king tiger, and among humans, there is an emperor."
"As long as there is a king present, others of the same kind do not dare to act rashly."
Shen Qiang retorted sharply, "This has nothing to do with you killing people."
"It does," said the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, in a deep voice, "In a group of monkeys, the king monkey enjoys the mating rights to all the female monkeys, while the other monkeys can only calmly await his benevolence. The same goes for tigers, for lions, for bears, and for hippos."
"This is the instinct of living beings. The weak submit to the strong, and the strong enjoy everything."
"And in any species, how is the territory and status of a king determined? By scent!" the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, stated in a deep voice. "Just like dogs marking territories with urine, a specific scent proclaims the exalted status of its owner."
"Humans are no different."
Gazing at the furrowed brow of Shen Qiang, the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi said, "When people are in their own homes, they feel confident, but when visiting others' homes, they feel restrained. The real reason is that no matter how good the relationship is, they can sense the owner's scent."
"Those deceased were all outstanding individuals. They had strong bodies, intense confidence, and exceptional prowess in bed. So, I killed them and took their glands to make incense. When the scent of kings among men emanated from them,"
"the hearts of the disciples whose minds weren't stable towards the Buddha quieted, because they could perceive that those men, like kings, were stronger, more excellent, and more suited to possess those beautiful women."
Shen Qiang was stunned, "You used their glands to make incense?"
"Yes!" the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, said, "Ever since I started doing this, in the past thirty years, fewer than ten disciples have returned to secular life because of women, while the rest have been devoted to worshiping Buddha."
Foolishness!
Looking at Shi Shengyi, who appeared arrogant and thought himself impressive.
In his heart, Shen Qiang felt a deep pity.
In fact, in any group of creatures, the scent of the strong does indeed have a subtle influence on others.
But killing people to make incense is the height of ignorance.
Even if the scent of a strong person's glands could truly influence others and calm them, one could simply purchase testosterone supplements.
Moreover, if it's just to calm the mind, the Medical Saint Inheritance records at least dozens of incense formulas.
Yet, even within the Medical Saint Inheritance, there is no mention of using people to make incense.
"Foolishness! Ignorance!" Shen ** angrily scolded.
Standing on the third floor, the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, said in a deep voice, "Since you discovered my Hidden Corpse Cave, I knew that this matter couldn't be kept secret any longer, so I decided to make incense one last time."
A solemn True Yuan erupted from the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi.
Then he stared intently at Shen Qiang, speaking excitedly, "Because I know I don't have much time left, I hadn't thought I would encounter such good material before, and even clearly told Wang Lizhi that it was good enough."
"But when I saw you, I was stunned. You are the most capable man I've seen in the past thirty years. Compared to your aura, those men I killed before are simply too weak to mention!"
"Because you are the true king! Your aura would prevent those monks from having any thoughts about the beautiful female benefactors," the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, said excitedly. "So I can guarantee that if only I can kill you and use you for incense, not a single person from Doushi Temple will return to secular life because of women within ten years, so... you shall die!"
Boom!
A giant handprint struck the spot where Shen Qiang once stood.
With a flash of his figure, Shen Qiang, who had already rushed out of the building, looked forward with unprecedented determination.
Shi Shengyi, if not a genius, must certainly be a madman.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of massive palm prints closely followed behind Shen Qiang.
Continuously dodging, Shen Qiang calmly calculated the time.
Though appearing very composed, in fact, after forcefully breaking free from constraint earlier, Shen Qiang had already sustained some injuries.
Unlike a Golden Core Stage cultivator who can be killed with a single punch.
The abbot of Doushi Temple is a formidable entity above the Mixed Element Realm.
Attempting to kill him with a single punch was still difficult for Shen Qiang at that moment.
Fortunately, he had already infected him with the Coronavirus and Botulinum Toxin beforehand.
So next, as long as time can be delayed until he falls ill, he will inevitably die at Shen Qiang's hands.
"Why are you running away? Shen Qiang! You are a king, so bring out the demeanor of a king and fight me!" the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, shouted fiercely.
Tch!
Already a dead man, only a fool would want to fight to the death with you!
Shen Qiang, full of disdain, flashed to the side, evading the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi's large handprint, and inexplicably started hoping for Qian Shanxue in his heart.
Because if Qian Shanxue were here, with just a fine drizzle, Shen Qiang could utilize the Electric Element attribute of True Yuan to move at unparalleled speed, rendering the abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, powerless against him. But now, due to the lack of water molecules in the air, even after activating Fury and removing restraints, Shen Qiang's speed was still hardly different from an ordinary Yang God Realm master.
With such strength, facing Shi Shengyi of the Mixed Element Realm head-on in a tough battle, the chance of victory is less than thirty percent.
Boom!
"Immovable Ming King, Six Wheel Flowering!"
The enormous Buddha statue, radiating a solemn aura, appeared beside Shen Qiang with Shi Shengyi's hand seal.
The force of the Mixed Element Realm not only instantly sent Shen Qiang flying.
More terrifying was.
Six lotus flower-like blossoms, like snow lotus, bloomed beside the cross-legged statue, encompassing Shen Qiang, and then the statue suddenly opened its eyes, its giant palm unleashing a supremely terrifying True Yuan, which in an instant, crushed the surrounding space and the leafless fruit trees into powder.
Not only that, the six rapidly expanding lotus petals sealed all of Shen Qiang's escape routes.
"No way to escape!"
Shen Qiang realized in horror.
At the same time, a winter chill carrying a damp sensation suddenly blew through.
Fine droplets of rain drifted down from the sky.
