 Chapter 3221: Dragon-Buddha Collaboration, Refining Human Pills

The poison dragon talked endlessly, like a chatterbox, mumbling while pacing back and forth.

Its huge body walked around the Buddha hall, like an old man chanting scriptures.

"You fellow, since you've done it, see it through to the end."

"Every time you get soft-hearted, but you still do it anyway. Why be so hypocritical as a person or a Buddha? It's better to be like me, straightforward. I'm just bad, just evil."

"If you wanted to do this, why did you agree to cooperate with me back then? I deliberately lost to you, giving you the title of Dragon Subduing Buddha and allowing you to establish a Buddha nation."

"Over these years, haven't you gained enough benefits? Look at those at your level, who has cultivated as fast as you?"

"You're almost an Ancient Buddha now. Once you become an Ancient Buddha, who will remember what you've done all these years?"

"Even if those guys find out, what can they do to you? Come to the Buddha Realm to kill you? How is that any different from suicide?"

"In this world, might makes right. Everything else is fake."

After being lectured by the poison dragon, Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha sighed and said softly, "They've already started climbing the Buddha stairs. The rest is up to you."

The poison dragon chuckled, "No problem!"

He walked out of the Buddha hall, and as he reached outside, he transformed, instantly becoming a Buddha.

His body shone with golden light. Ordinary people couldn't tell at all that his true form was a poison dragon.

Lin Moyu witnessed all this, and was also grateful that this poison dragon was a chatterbox. He didn't need to do much to understand the whole story.

It was simply a Buddha and a dragon, pretending to subdue dragons on the surface to bewitch people's hearts and establish a Buddha nation.

In reality, they were secretly cooperating, using boys and girls to refine human pills, one to recover from injuries, the other to increase cultivation.

They each had their own goals, hitting it off immediately.

However, Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha often hesitated, seemingly still possessing some goodness. In Lin Moyu's eyes, he was the most hypocritical one.

If you're going to do evil, do it thoroughly. At the moment of doing evil, kindness is useless.

Constantly wavering between the two is what the most hypocritical people do.

The Buddhist saying "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" was one Lin Moyu hated most.

From another perspective, wasn't this saying telling everyone that you can go ahead and do evil, as long as you repent in the end and put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha on the spot?

If evil people can put down the butcher's knife and become Buddhas immediately, then what about good people who have put down the butcher's knife for countless years but still can't become Buddhas? Who can they reason with?

Of course, the Buddhist clan would surely have another explanation.

But Lin Moyu didn't believe it at all. His heart was firm, and he had his own understanding of everything in the world.

In doing anything, Lin Moyu only asked his own heart.

As long as he felt it wasn't wrong, then it was right.

In Lin Moyu's view, Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha's Buddha heart wasn't firm enough, so he wouldn't achieve much in this life.

If not for relying on such unorthodox and evil methods, he couldn't possibly become an Ancient Buddha.

If Lin Moyu were to act now, he could easily crush Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha and this poison dragon.

However, Lin Moyu didn't want to do so.

He wanted these children to see Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha's true face.

Especially Little Mei. He had already sensed that Little Mei was unusual, and the poison dragon had sensed something too.

After this matter was over, Lin Moyu wanted to carefully examine Little Mei's situation. It was possible he might gain another disciple.

If that were the case, then letting Little Mei thoroughly see through Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha's true face would be very important.

To shatter her inner devotion, she needed to truly see this world clearly.

The poison dragon, transformed into a Buddha, came to the Buddha stairs. Looking at the children crawling up while kowtowing, the corner of his mouth actually dripped a bit of saliva.

In his eyes, these children were all delicious pills.

"Let's start with you!"

The Buddha transformed from the poison dragon suddenly became incredibly huge, instantly manifesting before the world.

People in the Buddha nation immediately knelt down to worship.

The Buddha he transformed into looked almost identical to Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha. Everyone thought it was Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha revealing his golden body.

"Amitabha. The Buddha stairs are not easy to climb. Only sincerity is the path to climbing the stairs. If the heart is not sincere, one will enter the Avici Hell, and the golden Buddha cannot save them!"

His voice was deep, seemingly carrying a hint of anger.

As his words fell, two children suddenly fell from the Buddha stairs.

Below the Buddha stairs, among the kneeling crowd, screams immediately rang out.

The fallen children were their own.

The poison dragon said in a low voice, "Amitabha. If the heart is not sincere, the golden Buddha cannot save them."

The implication was that these two children deserved to die.

The poison dragon's voice was full of bewitchment, and a mysterious power fell upon everyone.

Those who were grieving just moments ago suddenly quieted down. The grief on their faces disappeared, and instead, they bowed to the poison dragon.

"The nation's lord speaks true. It was my child's heart that wasn't sincere enough. My child deserved to die!"

Under the poison dragon's bewitchment, they no longer grieved for their children's deaths, but instead felt they were at fault.

Lin Moyu frowned slightly. Such a complete reversal of right and wrong, black and white - this poison dragon had truly done evil to the extreme.

He had already seen that below the Buddha stairs, a huge pill furnace was hidden in the clouds.

The fallen children would fall directly into the pill furnace.

Flames burned fiercely under the pill furnace, and a formation was operating, automatically refining pills.

The entire pill furnace exuded a bloody aura, clearly showing that many children had already died here.

The poison dragon revealed a satisfied smile, "The heart must be sincere. I don't blame you. Continue climbing the stairs. As long as you can climb up, you will surely be saved."

The poison dragon continued his performance, but he didn't know that the two children who had just fallen hadn't actually fallen into the pill furnace.

They had been taken away by Lin Moyu, directly sent into the Rules World.

With Lin Moyu's strength, even if he did these things right under the poison dragon's nose, the poison dragon wouldn't be able to detect it.

Then Lin Moyu continued watching the poison dragon's performance. The poison dragon seemed to be getting into his role, continuously revealing his true form, occasionally saying some ambiguous Buddhist phrases.

Perhaps from living in the Buddhist clan for so long, the poison dragon acted quite convincingly, making it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.

Along the way, children kept falling from the Buddha stairs, all rescued by Lin Moyu.

Under the poison dragon's bewitchment, the kneeling crowd only felt that their children weren't sincere enough, and deserved to die.

At this moment, their children's lives seemed less important than their devotion to him.

However, not many children fell. Less than a third fell, and most children could climb the Buddha stairs.

Lin Moyu also knew that every time the 'plague' appeared, not all children would die.

About half of the children could survive.

This was also to cover up their tracks. Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha and the poison dragon hadn't gone to extremes.

If they killed everyone, problems might arise. With some living and some dying, the chances of problems arising would be much less.

It had to be said, this Buddha and dragon were being very careful.

Finally, hundreds of people climbed the Buddha stairs and arrived before the Buddha hall.

The poison dragon shouted, "All sit down and chant scriptures while waiting."

These children were very obedient and immediately sat down to wait.

Beams of light fell from the sky, enveloping these children. Threads of Buddhist power entered their bodies, sweeping away all fatigue, and they wouldn't feel hungry.

The poison dragon returned to the Buddha hall and said to Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha, "It's done here. The children from the other cities have also been gathered. I'll go bring them over."

Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha didn't respond. The poison dragon was used to this and turned to leave.
