I Became An Acre Of Haunted Land - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Buddhist Sect’s Support is Here

“Amitabha. Abbot Zhishan, it’s been hard on you.”

“With your help this time, I think that the giant crocodile will definitely be killed.”

Sitting in the meditation room, Abbot Chiba was excited when he saw the figure sitting opposite him.

This person was the helper he had invited from Wangjing City, Abbot Zhishan of Wang’an Temple.

The escaped crocodile had already become a sore point for him. Originally, the crocodiles in the forest park were all under his control.

The Eight Heavenly Dragons and the Four Heavenly Guardians had surrounded the place where the crocodiles were born. They had set up the Heavenly Guardians Demon Subduing Array and operated it like an iron bucket, so it should have been foolproof.

But who would have thought that one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons who had built the Demon Subduing Array, Asura Liu Haotian, needed to return home immediately because of the sudden review of the information by the local government? Originally, Abbot Chiba thought that the heavenly net had been completely set up and that the turtle in the jar was within reach. Moreover, one of the Eight Legions, Bai Changhe, had strongly recommended that there was a suitable replacement for an Asura, so he had agreed to let him leave.

However, the Eight Heavenly Dragons had made a huge mistake. The Asuras that had been temporarily replaced were too weak to resist the attacks of the crocodile beasts and were swept away.

At that moment, the crocodile leader that rushed out turned the entire forest park upside down. In the end, it swung its tail and escaped!

There were many experts in the Yellow Mountain Temple, including the core Four Heavenly Guardians, the Eight Heavenly Dragons, 18 core disciples, and five personal disciples. It could be said that there were as many experts as there was a forest. Even if the crocodile escaped, they were still confident that they could take it down by force.

But at this moment, another mistake occurred.

The people from the Jiangnan Superpower Administration rushed over and wanted to take away the three little crocodiles that the Yellow Mountain Temple had already obtained. At the same time, they wanted to snatch the crocodile leader away.

How could Abbot Chiba accept it?

They had raised this crocodile and in order to cause mutation, they had even begged for a mutated reishi mushroom from the north and personally fed it to them. Otherwise, how could ordinary crocodiles mutate so quickly?

The Yellow Mountain Temple had spent a lot of money on these four giant crocodiles.

Therefore, a dispute suddenly arose, and both sides almost fought.

People from the city hall had to step in and quell the feud.

In the end, the Jiangnan Superpower Administration took away one crocodile and returned the remaining two to the Yellow Mountain Temple.

As for the last crocodile leader, it would belong to whoever caught it.

In order to prevent the Superpower Administration from interfering again and to ensure that this operation was foolproof, Abbot Chiba directly invited reinforcements from the capital to participate.

Abbot Zhishan was their backup plan this

time.

Abbot Zhishan was focused on studying the Buddhist scriptures. Although his strength was only at the Exceptional Level (6), cultivating the universal cultivation method could play a decisive role in suppressing the giant crocodile.

It was not that Abbot Chiba had never thought of asking for help in Jiangnan City. One had to know that the Buddhist Sect was flourishing. Under his leadership and skill, he had a wide network.

For example, Cheng Yifan, the temple master of the Divine Might Temple.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yifan only focused on cultivating the legendary True Immortal Tao and did not care about anything else. Hence, he was unwilling to come at all.

As for the cheap disciple he had picked up, forget it. He was timid, had nothing but superpowers, and was useless in actual combat.

Asura Liu Haoran had a good relationship with him. The two of them occasionally sparred, and every time, it was Liu Haoran who beat him up until he fled everywhere and cried for his parents.

With this ability, he might as well not come.

“Abbot Chiba, I heard that you’ve subdued a ferocious beast?”

Ever since Abbot Zhishan came, he had already known that the Yellow Mountain Temple had subdued a ferocious beast. It was now listed as a mountain guardian spirit beast to guard the back mountain.

It was not easy to subdue this ferocious beast, and even now, there were only a few temples that could tame ferocious beasts. Previously, he had heard that a few large temples had successfully tamed spirit beasts, but he had never seen it before. This time, apart from coming to help, he was mainly invited by Abbot Chiba to see the legendary mountain guardian spirit beast with his own eyes.

In ancient times, there were records of Buddhists taming ferocious beasts into spiritual beasts. This was already described in ancient books, not to mention the Bodhisattva Buddha statues drawn on the murals. Almost every Bodhisattva and Buddha had a spiritual beast lying inside, and every one of them was famous.

Therefore, after a simple exchange of pleasantries, he hurriedly asked, “Can you bring me to observe the majestic posture of the spirit beast guarding the mountain?”

“Of course, even if Abbot Zhishan doesn’t mention this, I’ll take the initiative to bring you there.”

Abbot Chiba was also happy to hear Abbot Zhishan mention the mountain guardian spirit beast.

Although there were some setbacks from the previous encounter, it was not without results. One of the two giant crocodiles had already been completely subdued and was guarding the back mountain, shocking everyone who went there.

As the host, his face lit up.

“Can we do it now?”

“Of course.”

With that, they stood up together and walked out of the meditation room.

After leading Abbot Chiba around a few temple doors, they entered a winding path in a short while. After another 15 minutes, Abbot Chiba brought Abbot Zhishan to the back mountain.

The back mountain was picturesque, and a huge lake spread on the ground like a mirror between two peaks that were no more than a hundred meters tall. There were a few pavilions in the lake where a few monks were standing amongst, looking at the reflection in the water in silence, as if they were thinking about something. “Where’s the spirit beast guarding the mountain?”

After Abbot Zhishan took a few glances at the lake and could not find any traces of the spirit beast, he hurriedly asked.

Although the scenery in front of him was good, he was not here to look at the scenery, but to look at the spirit beasts. The entire lake was extremely quiet, and there were no signs of the spirit beasts at all.

“The Giant Crocodile Spirit Beast likes water. It’s usually unwilling to leave unless summoned.”

“Is it not coming out now?”

Abbot Chiba first explained, then shouted, “Evil creature, why aren’t you coming out to welcome the guests?”

CO

As if in response, in the middle of the lake, the water began to ripple, and the commotion grew louder. With a loud splash, a huge head rose from the water. Then it opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar. After seeing the person waiting by the lake, it swam out of the water and stopped on the shore.

“Abbot Zhishan, please.”

Seeing the crocodile swimming over, Abbot Chiba stepped on its back and turned to look at the stunned Abbot Zhishan behind him.

“Today, I welcome Abbot Zhishan to stand on the back of this mountain guardian spirit beast to swim in the mirror lake.”

It was at this moment that Abbot Zhishan came back to his senses. He looked at the crocodile that was nearly 20 meters long with a shocked expression.

“As expected of a mountain guardian spirit beast. It lives up to its reputation!!!”
