Chapter 304: The Legacy of the Evil Buddha
Long Xiaoshan was taken to the hospital, where, upon examination by the physicians, it was found that he had dozens of broken bones and internal bleeding. The severity of his injuries shocked the hospital staff, and they immediately wanted to take him to the operating room.
However, Long Xiaoshan adamantly stopped them. He somehow produced a clump of black ointment and insisted they apply it to his body.
The hospital was originally very reluctant to comply.
With internal bleeding and fractured bones all over his body, they wondered how they could mess around with such serious injuries. What would they do if something went wrong?
But then the Dean arrived.
Upon realizing it was Long Xiaoshan, the Divine Doctor who could even cure cancer, the Dean quickly instructed the doctors to follow all of Long Xiaoshan's directions.
After the ointment had been applied, they bandaged Long Xiaoshan's entire body like a mummy before finally taking him to the VIP ward.
The room was originally occupied by police officers, nurses, and doctors.
In the end, they were all driven out by Qin You.
After much commotion, the room finally quieted down.
"Wife!" Long Xiaoshan called out.
Qin You gave him a disdainful look and sat down beside him, saying irritably, "Don't call me wife. That little beauty is so adorable. With such tender skin and youthfulness, and here I am, aged and faded in comparison to you. How aggrieved you must be."
Indeed, women can be so petty, still holding a grudge in their hearts.
Long Xiaoshan said nothing but, with a thought, he retrieved a box from his Space Ring.
"This is the gift I brought back for you. I was planning to find you right after the wedding today," Long Xiaoshan said.
Qin You let out a surprised sound, not knowing where Long Xiaoshan had hidden the box.
It clearly wasn't there just a moment ago.
"Open it and see," Long Xiaoshan said.
"I'm not so easily fooled. That trick might work on little girls, not on me," Qin You said as she pretended to be indifferent but took the box and opened it. Her breath caught slightly—the box contained an exquisitely beautiful bracelet crafted entirely from white gold, adorned with countless tiny diamonds. At the center of the bracelet was a dazzling blue gemstone.
Qin You was not without discernment; she recognized the bracelet's craftsmanship as that of a Grandmaster. Furthermore, with so many diamonds and gemstones, the jewelry was clearly top-tier.
"It's too expensive; I can't accept it," Qin You quickly said.
Long Xiaoshan had indeed spent a considerable amount of money. He had bought a piece of jewelry for several women; a diamond necklace for Jin Lian, a gemstone bracelet for Qin You, and a diamond ring for Chun Tao, each valued at well over a million.
He didn't understand anything about art.
But when money is spent, the effect is naturally the best.
"It's not expensive at all. If you don't accept it, I'll just have to throw the bracelet away."
"Why throw it away? Can't you return it?"
"Look at the back," Long Xiaoshan said.
Qin You turned the bracelet over and saw that the reverse side was engraved with the characters for 'mountain' and 'quiet.' It was clearly a token of affection.
Qin You's face turned red instantly, her eyes brimming with uncontrollable joy. What woman doesn't love jewelry? Even though she verbalized her refusal, her body was sincere. Moreover, it was a promise of love from the man she cherished.
"Come, let me put it on for you," Long Xiaoshan said, moving his hand.
"Don't move; you have broken bones," she protested.
"It's fine; my right hand is okay," Long Xiaoshan insisted as he took the bracelet and placed it on Qin You's snowy white wrist. The shiny diamond bracelet highlighted Qin You's touch of elegance and sophistication.
"Do you like it?" Long Xiaoshan asked. Find adventures on empire
"Hmm."
Qin You didn't say much this time. She lifted her hand and looked at it from all angles. Her usually cold demeanor was now like a teenage girl receiving a love letter from her secret crush—sweet and shy. If anyone familiar with her saw her now, they would hardly recognize her.
"I've given you your gift; do you have a gift for me?" Long Xiaoshan asked.
"What gift do you want? I, I haven't prepared anything." Qin You was somewhat embarrassed.
Long Xiaoshan pointed to his own mouth with his finger.
"You little rascal." Qin You's face turned red, she took a deep breath, slowly bent down, and delivered her moist, full lips…
Late at night, Qin You had already fallen asleep by the bedside.
The special care ward was the same one Xu Manqing had stayed in last time; aside from the nurse, there was only this one room, making it very quiet. Long Xiaoshan lay in the bed, feeling tingles all over his body, which seemed to indicate the medicine was taking effect.
He lifted his hand, and a round bead appeared in his grasp.
It seemed like jade but wasn't jade.
It looked somewhat like a crystal, with even a trace of bloodline-like patterns on it.
This object had fallen from Wu Kun when Long Xiaoshan kicked him out of the air; he had grabbed it instinctively and tossed it into the ring.
Long Xiaoshan turned it over and inspected it for a while, feeling that this should be no ordinary thing, when suddenly, he felt the bead emit blood light, and the bloodline patterns seemed to flow onto his body.
"What's happening?"
Long Xiaoshan intended to throw it away immediately, as the object was too eerie.
But the bead seemed to stick to his body.
Suddenly, a huge force seemed to surge into him, causing him to lose consciousness.
In a daze,
he seemed to see a majestic Buddha entrenched in his mind, an overwhelming surge of devotion came flooding in, giving Long Xiaoshan the urge to submit and convert.
Just as Long Xiaoshan was about to kneel,
suddenly, a sense of crisis flooded his mind, and the third eye on his forehead split open.
The majestic Buddha in his eyes turned into an Evil Buddha filled with sinister energy.
Die!
Long Xiaoshan's body shone with a brilliant golden light, transforming into a Deity Spirit and slashing at the Evil Buddha with a knife. The Evil Buddha, revealing its hideous true form, wielded a Zen Staff and struck back at Long Xiaoshan, and a fierce battle ensued.
After a struggle, a beam of golden light shot from Long Xiaoshan's brow, hitting the Evil Buddha and eliciting a pained scream.
Long Xiaoshan continued to attack the Evil Buddha.
Finally, he shattered the Evil Buddha, and streaks of golden light came rushing in.
His body absorbed a great amount of golden light, and gradually, a halo of Buddha Light emerged behind him.
Long Xiaoshan suddenly opened his eyes.
Panting.
He hastily raised his hand, but the bead was nowhere to be found; however, he was now certain it was no good object. The Evil Buddha that had appeared in his mind probably lingered as a spiritual consciousness within the bead. If it weren't for the strength of his Divine Body last night, he might have become a puppet or been possessed by now.
Huh!
He moved his limbs and checked his body.
He discovered that his body had fully recovered.
It must be related to that bead, for after falling from the fifteenth floor, his injuries, even with Spiritual Medicine, would have taken at least ten days to half a month to heal, but now his body was completely restored.
And filled with strength.
In his mind, there was now an abundance of Buddhist Law memories.
The defeat of the Evil Buddha's consciousness gave him the Evil Buddha's legacy.
This Evil Buddha, known as Blood Buddha Hualian, turned out to be an evil monk from the Tang Dynasty, and was the State Preceptor of a small country in the Western Regions, with cultivation reaching the level of a True Person, an Arhat.
However, this Blood Buddha had an ominously ghostly aura, and was clearly extremely evil. Moreover, the cultivation of Blood Buddha required viola mandsurica as well as the essence blood of boys and girls—utterly wicked—something he had absolutely no interest in practicing.
