RNP Chapter 7 Killer Tao Pai Pai
Chapter 7 Killer Tao Pai Pai
Shang Yun was already on the verge of losing consciousness when the loud noise startled him and brought him back to his senses. He looked up and exclaimed in surprise.
"Killer Tao Bai Bai!" Shang Yun exclaimed inwardly.
"Where is this? The coordinates should be right, the target should be nearby." Tao Pai Pai muttered to herself as she walked towards the noodle shop.
"Is this Dorin-ji Temple?" Tao Pai Pai said coldly, staring at the people in the noodle shop. Her aura was so strong that the noodle shop owner was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"Who are you? What are you doing at Duolin Temple?" The fifth senior brother was already sweating profusely.
"The strongest assassin, Tao Pai Pai." Tao Pai Pai sneered.
"Tao...Tao...Tao Baibai! Assassin Tao Baibai, the assassin who has never failed, Tao Baibai!" The fifth senior brother was stunned at first, then seemed to remember and exclaimed, "Tao Baibai, what are you doing in our Duolin Temple territory? This is not a place where you can run wild."
"Hmm, it seems we've arrived at Dorin Temple. My control remains accurate." Tao Pai Pai said coldly, "Take me to Dorin Temple to find Abbot Dorin."
"What do you want with our abbot?" When the fifth senior brother heard that he was looking for Abbot Duolin, he relaxed and thought that the abbot must be a friend of the abbot. After all, in the fifth senior brother's mind, the abbot was not a good person.
At this moment, Shang Yun had already been thrown to the ground, lying there afraid to move, even his breathing was cautious, because he knew how terrifying Tao Pai Pai's fighting power was, killing several of them without even needing to use his tongue.
"If you're going to kill someone, lead the way, and I'll spare you for now."
"What?! You want to kill the abbot? With your abilities, Tao Pai Pai, don't think that just because you killed a few ordinary people and call yourself the number one assassin in the world, you're truly invincible." Fifth Senior Brother probably thought of the abbot's strength, or perhaps he was used to bullying others in the temple. He had lost his previous panicked state and instead put his hands behind his back, slowly taking two steps towards Tao Pai Pai to show his home-field advantage. But he wasn't stupid; he knew not to get too close before understanding the other party's strength.
"I hate people who don't cooperate with me the most, so I'll just kill them all." Tao Pai Pai turned to the side, put his hands behind his back, stopped looking at the others, walked to the dining table, and looked at the food on the table: "It seems you haven't eaten yet, so you can only starve to death."
Fifth Senior Brother seemed to have some kind of attachment to food. Upon hearing that he couldn't eat, his cravings immediately surged, his mind went blank, and he stopped testing Tao Pai Pai's strength, shouting, "Attack together! Kill him!"
The monk who had been carrying Shang Yun hesitated for a moment before rushing forward as well. Despite his hesitation, he was fast, overtaking his fifth senior brother by a person in three steps, and charged toward Tao Bai Bai. As he ran, he raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and prepared to smash it down. It seems that Shang Yun had not wanted to be hit by this move before.
"Hmph." Tao Pai Pai snorted disdainfully, his right hand slowly falling from behind his back, then rising forward and suddenly slapping a pair of chopsticks on the table. The chopsticks flew rapidly toward the monk.
"Pfft, pfft."
With two muffled thuds, the monk flew backward at an even faster speed than when he came, crashing into the fifth senior brother. The two fell to the ground at the same time, right next to Shang Yun.
Shen Yun squinted and saw that each of the two had a chopstick stuck in their foreheads, their eyes wide open—they were dead.
Tao Pai Pai was taking out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
Shang Yun continued to play dead, while the noodle shop owner had already collapsed to the ground, a puddle of water between his legs, having wet himself in fear.
Tao Baibai frowned, wanting to kill the noodle shop owner as well, but then glanced at Shang Yun, who was about to die, and said to the noodle shop owner, "Do you know Abbot Dulin? Lead the way."
"Yes, yes, I know him, I'll lead the way right away." The noodle shop owner looked panicked, quickly got up, ignoring his wet pants, and said with a fawning smile.
"Walk."
"Yes, yes, please go ahead." The boss hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.
"Go to the back." Tao Baibai frowned and snorted coldly, glancing back at Shang Yun. He was a dying man and she couldn't be bothered to do anything.
"Yes, yes." The boss hurriedly bowed and ran to the back.
Shang Yun remained motionless on the ground, squinting as he watched the two gradually walk away.
In fact, Shang Yun was not just pretending to be dead on the ground. At the same time, he was also circulating the Heart Sutra. The Heart Sutra is the supreme mental technique that he comprehended from the Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra. It is neutral and peaceful, and it is a technique that accumulates strength and then releases it. It combines almost all the advantages of Zen internal skills. However, whether one can comprehend and improve it depends on one's own enlightenment and Buddha-nature.
Shang Yun has already mastered the Heart Sutra, and now he is using it at full power to quickly restore his physical strength and spirit, while also healing his physical injuries.
About half an hour later, Shang Yun slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and when there was no movement, he stood up. He had obviously recovered.
Shang Yun wore a look of relief, thankful for Tao Bai Bai's appearance, which saved him from another disaster. As his nerves relaxed, he suddenly realized how hungry he was.
Shang Yun wanted to go to that table of delicacies, but when he looked back, it was still perfectly intact on the table. It was indeed a feast, with three roast geese alone. Tao Baibai's self-control was really strong. She bypassed the two corpses on the ground, went straight to the food on the table, grabbed the food, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Shang Yun thought to himself, "I need to eat my fill quickly and run away." Although he didn't know what the situation was on the mountain, he knew that this place was not safe to stay for long. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best. He should take advantage of the current safety and run away quickly, but he needed to eat his fill first.
After Shang Yun had eaten and drunk his fill, he found a tablecloth and packed up the roast goose, roast duck, and other easy-to-carry foods before heading east.
As Shang Yun picked up the pack, he noticed that his physical strength seemed to have improved. He ran while carrying so much, but he didn't feel too tired. Upon reflection, he realized that it must be the effect of the Heart Sutra. It seems that he had underestimated this mental cultivation method. It seems that he needs to practice it more diligently.
Actually, the Heart Sutra isn't a form of meditation; it doesn't require sitting in stillness to cultivate. It can be integrated into all aspects of daily life—walking, standing, sitting, lying down, eating, drinking, playing, and enjoying oneself—all are forms of cultivation. However, this kind of cultivation requires controlling one's mind and maintaining focused concentration. The mental formula will then operate automatically; the more focused you are, the faster it operates. But if you become distracted, the mental formula will stop. As for the speed of self-cultivation, that depends on individual talent.
"I must master such an invincible mental technique," Shang Yun thought, but he also knew that haste makes waste. He silently recited the Heart Sutra, cleared his mind of distractions, and tried to comprehend its Zen meaning and improve his character, waiting for everything to fall into place.
At this moment, Shang Yun gradually felt less fear and anxiety. The shadow of survival crisis that had been hanging over her heart for so long also gradually dissipated. It wasn't that she wasn't afraid or anxious, but she knew that these emotions wouldn't help anything, so she decided to calm down and focus on doing what needed to be done.
And what Shang Yun needs to do now is...
