County Town Chapter 68: Am I a Monster?

  Bin Ku Da Shi smiled slightly and continued: "Regardless of whether you killed or not, Jixiang Tian has determined that it was you who killed. Now all the masters in the temple have come out, waiting for you to go out."

  Yi Tianxing scolded fiercely: "Old monk, it seems that Jixiangtian wants the kasaya of Guanyuan Temple, so he would start a conflict with me? Do you want to shirk responsibility from this matter?"

  Bin Ku Da Shi revealed a rogue expression and said, "The Tian Ji has already been planted on the forehead of Sheng Zhu Que. If you are willing to return to the temple, then it's no big deal for the temple to take responsibility for Zong Si's death."

  Yitian Xing thought of those terrifying situations where the sky was high and the fire couldn't be extinguished, and he didn't dare to take this conversation any further. He silently cursed himself a few times in his heart. Then he thought about how his Firebird son had already swallowed the Earthfire from Kunlun Mountain that Jixiang Tian had obtained, and he should be able to transform into a Super Invincible Fire-spewing King immediately? Even if Jixiang Tian wanted to deal with him, what was there to fear? As he thought of this, he couldn't help but gently stroke his left hand's index finger, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

  Bin Ku Master saw his demeanor and secretly wondered why he was so confident, saying: "Although Yi Shi Zhu has a congenital diamond body, now the door method is fully obtained, and the fire control technique is unparalleled in the world. However, the inheritance of the upper three heavens has exceeded one hundred years, and there are many strange people inside the door. Even if you have supernatural powers, you can't withstand the opponent's rush, let alone...". The old monk's slightly white eyebrows trembled lightly: "Now in the provincial city, the young master of Jixiang Tian is still cultivating in the world, so the strongest Haoran Tian has withdrawn from the provincial city. According to rumors, that young master is talented and Zhu Shi may not be his opponent. Even if Zhu Shi can withstand him, how will he deal with the incoming Haoran Tian? And what about Qingjing Tian, the most mysterious one in the upper three heavens? What if you provoke the master of the upper three heavens to take action personally... Alas."

  He silently cursed the old monk in front of him, thinking that a great man is indeed a great man, who constantly threatened himself yet still appeared to be so compassionate and sympathetic. It felt like Mother Teresa asking you for usury, unpleasant but still making you feel loved. After some thought, he said: "I believe not everyone in the Heavenly Blessings Sect is as crazy as Zong Si. As long as we can talk it out with them, I don't think there's no possibility of resolving this through negotiation."

  Bin Ku smiled and interrupted his words: "Zhu Shu is an old minister in the auspicious heaven, have you seen him?"

  "I've seen him." Yi Tianxing furrowed his brow, knowing that this Bamboo Uncle was the same blind old man he had met after leaving the Temple of Return to the Origin. "What's the matter?"

  Bin Ku sighed softly: "For so many years, I've been stuck in the inner land, not doing anything big, only one thing that's been tight is catching some small monsters everywhere." He looked at Yi Tianxing's increasingly confused face and smiled slightly: "Zhu Shu is a person with great status in Jixiangtian, he thinks you are a fire monster, can mice negotiate conditions with cats?"

  "I am not a monster." Yi Yihang replied very calmly.

  "It doesn't matter if you are unimportant, what matters is whether others think you are." Master Bin Ku replied calmly.

  Yitian slowly opened his eyes and said calmly after a moment of silence: "If I enter the Guiyuan Temple, will I no longer be a demon?"

  "Amitabha Buddha, all living beings are equal, and I open the door of convenience for everyone."

  "There are countless Buddhist temples, but you can't say I'm a laborer who spreads scriptures. Are all the monks in this world listening to you?" Yi Tianxing frowned and said.

  Bin Ku Da Shi smiled and said, "If the donor considers it carefully, I will invite several high-ranking monks from major temples in the north and south to attend the grand ceremony together. The Fu Feng Fa Men, Hangzhou Lingyin, and Mei Ling Cao She should all send representatives."

  Yi Tian Xing only then realized he had asked a foolish question. According to what Wu Ku said before, this strange cultivation sect started in the 30s and 40s and was mainly composed of Taoist cultivators. Naturally, they wouldn't get along with Buddhist sects. Seeing that he could drag himself into the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, whether or not there was a title for scripture transmitter, or rather, whether the other party would be willing to give him such a title, wasn't a big issue. These monks who had been peaceful for decades probably wouldn't mind having another fighter emerge.

  "Let me think about it for a moment."

  Bin Ku Master suddenly got up and was about to leave the Zen room.

  Yi Tianxing suddenly shouted behind him: "That old monk, can a scripture transmitter eat meat?"

  "Can't a layman treat all things in the world as equal beings?"

  Yitian Xing shrugged and said, "I love animals, but I love cooked ones more."

  Bin Ku Da Shi was speechless.

  "What if this scripture bearer can't get married?" Yitian Xing asked again.

  Upon hearing this, Master Bin's face turned alternately pale and red, and he remained silent for a long time before responding in a low voice: "I dare not say, it was done by the master."

  Yi Tianxing's hands were placed on the windowsill, gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky above the temple. His eyesight was exceptionally good, and he could vaguely see that there seemed to be someone lurking among the tree branches outside the temple, but these people appeared to be cultivators who had used some method to conceal their figures. If Yi Tianxing's body hadn't undergone a transformation, allowing his eyesight to become extraordinary as well, he wouldn't have been able to make out their movements from the subtle distortions in the moonlight on the ground.

  He let out a soft sigh, knowing this must be a disciple of Tian Jiao.

  Is Zong Si really dead? He wasn't sure, but judging from the attitude of Jixiang Tian, he was afraid that the young man who wanted to kill him had indeed died after being struck by his own heavenly fire. Yi Tian Xing didn't know that Zong Si came to kill him on his own initiative, so he also thought that this person was really dead.

  Starting from the county town, he had only killed two people. Those two were sent by Xue San'er to kill him and they hurt Lele. Yi Tianxing was furious at that time and didn't hold back, a stone was enough to take care of those two people. In fact, Yi Tianxing wasn't someone who liked to kill easily, even when dealing with Xue San'er, he only asked Old Master Gu to disable one of his legs.

  And so, when he really knew that Zong Si had died at his own hands, he couldn't help but feel a pang of unease in his heart.

  Bamboo Uncle was certain that he was a fire-playing monster, so he naturally became the enemy of the Zhongtu cultivators. Although Yi Tianxing had previously been able to calmly deny it with a straight face, in fact, the two words "monster" had actually hit his heart deeply, touching on the thing he feared most.

  After all, he grew up among humans and could accept that he had special powers, accept that he was a superhero, Spider-Man or whatever... but it's still not easy to accept that he is a monster.
