Chapter 2211 a.s.sisting The Monk

The confirmation that this was a Demonic Tribe Graveyard, matched their original thoughts when they had first entered the Inheritance grounds. The shrines on the islands outside had the same inclinations and they were finally seeing these graves themselves.

"So all this Death Qi is ultimately due to these graves." Lin Mu spoke.

"Indeed Though normally this should not have happened." Ziran replied.

"Yeah, the function of an offering hall is to placate the souls of the dead and also the disperse any negative energies that may arise due to that." Crown Prince Feng Shun knew about this, since Offering Halls were a common thing for a lot of cultures.

"But that is clearly not being done." Crown Princess Shang said.

"What could have led to this then?" Lin Mu wondered.

"All I can think is that This place was abandoned and there was no one to take care of the graves. Ultimately the offerings stopped and the negative energies were no longer being purified. Overtime they have acc.u.mulated and now there is a mix of Baleful Energies as well as Death Qi here." Ziran explained. "Though that also means we are free to take a look inside the Offering Hall right?" Qiao De's eyes glinted with desire. "There will surely be some valuable things inside." He added.

"Yes Since this is no longer a proper graveyard, and it has been this long it isn't disrespectful." Ziran confirmed. "It is free for our taking." "That's good then. That is what we're here for anyways." Crown Prince Feng Shun said before turning his attention to the golden light some distance away. "Now let's go a.s.sist our hardworking monk." He added.

"Of course." Lin Mu said and the group finally approached the structure.

They pa.s.sed through the outer boundary wall without any issues and entered the inner courtyard. The main building stood here, and Monk Hushu was sitting in the plaza in front of the main entrance.

The curtain of Baleful energies swirled without a care, while the Monk's chants continued.

Though it didn't feel like any effect was happening.

~step~step~step~

The Monk had been deep in his work, thus hadn't sensed the group appear in the sky, but now that they were close enough that their footsteps could be heard, he decided to pause and open his eyes.

"Seems like you all are finally here." Monk Hushu said, letting out a breath of relief.

"Sorry if it took a bit too long. We had a few things to do on the way." Lin Mu apologized.

"It is fine. The work here is going to take a while anyways." Monk Hushu replied before turning to the Crown Prince and others. "I managed to disperse the outer barrier, but this inner one is very strong." He added.

"Oh? So this is a second one?" Daoist Chu asked.

"Indeed. I barely finished the first barrier yesterday." Monk Hushu replied.

"No wonder it felt like there has been no progress." Crown Princess Shang said looking at the curtain of baleful energies.

"Have you figured out what kind of baleful energy this is?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes. It is Rot Wind Qi mixed in with some Corrosive Qi." Monk Hushu answered.

"I see" Lin Mu spoke looking at the curtain.

The Corrosive Qi was something he had encountered before too and was one of the more common types of baleful energies. But the Rot Wind Qi was something new.

"Rot Wind Qi will be hard to deal with." Ziran said furrowing his brows. "It is a Qi formed from the Derivative Dao of Rot and mixed with Wind Qi." He informed.

Crown Prince Feng Shun approached the curtain and extended his palm towards it before trying to exert some pressure with his own Wind Dao Embryo.

~SHUA~

The curtain shook lightly, but the Rot Wind Qi didn't budge.

"Hmm it cannot be affected by me." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "The simplest thing would be to destroy it indeed." "The Corrosive Qi is not a problem, but the Rot Wind Qi is rather vile." Monk Hushu replied. "It took me a while to remove the first barrier and that one had lesser concentrator of Rot Wind Qi. This one though is denser." He informed.

"Are you using Buddhist techniques to disperse it?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, I am using the Evil Dispelling Mantra to get rid of it." Monk Hushu replied.

"Well, you can try again though this time I'll support you." Lin Mu suggested.

Hearing that, Monk Hushu's eyes lit up as he knew that Lin Mu would be a great help in this.

"That'll be perfect." Monk Hushu agreed. "Let's get started right away then." He said as he sat back down.

He brought his hands together in a praying gesture while holding the prayer beads between his palms. ~HUU~

Monk Hushu then took a deep breath before beginning his chants. Lin Mu heard the chants that felt pure and serene. This was the second time he was seeing a Buddhist chant technique other than his own.

'Time to see how much I can boost him.' Lin Mu thought to himself and sat beside the monk.

'Calming Heart Sutra!' Then in the next moment, Lin Mu started to audibly chant the Calming Heart sutra.

The group could heard his chants preparedly this time and found them to be rather esoteric. But the effects of the chants were rather apparent for them as all of them felt their minds becoming calmer.

'Monk Hushu wasn't wrong Daoist Mu Lin can very easily join a Buddhist temple like this. He can already use such profound chants without having even been trained by a senior monk.' Crown Prince Feng Shun thought to himself.

~HONGLONG~

But his attention was soon pulled by the change that happened.

The two men chanting together seemed to have created a new harmony. The very air started to tremble as the golden glow surrounded both Lin Mu and Monk Hushu.

~WOONG~

The Calming Heart Sutra was amplifying Monk Hushu's power!
