Chapter 78 - How Could It Be Such a Coincidence?

The old blind man fell somewhat silent.

He originally wanted to directly leave the Heavenly Martial Empire, completely far away from that terrifying Karma of a Saint.

But he couldn't just ignore his Junior Brother's past divination result either.

Their sect originally had a sparse population, with each generation passing down to a maximum of three people.

Reaching their generation, it was only the two of them, Senior and Junior Brothers.

Because they frequently pried into Heaven's Secrets, both Senior and Junior Brothers had long suffered the backlash of Heaven's Secrets and experienced the Five Evils and Three Deficiencies.

The so-called Five Evils and Three Deficiencies.

The Five Evils were "Widower, Widow, Orphan, Childless, and Disabled."

And the Three Deficiencies were "Wealth, Lifespan, and Power."

Both the old blind man and the middle-aged man had endured the tribulations of these Five Evils and Three Deficiencies.

But the middle-aged man, apart from the Five Evils and Three Deficiencies, also had a wicked tribulation, which was even more fatal.

"Forget it, Junior Brother's life is more important."

In the end, the old blind man gave up his plan to flee the Heavenly Martial Empire.

"Let's go explore the temples here."

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

A look of gratitude surfaced on the middle-aged man's face.

Afterward.

The two Senior and Junior Brothers walked straight to the front gate of The Shaolin Temple.

At this time.

The main gate of The Shaolin Temple was wide open, and an incense burner was placed behind the temple gate.

Wisps of blue smoke fluttered out from the incense burner.

A delicate and pretty young woman dressed in white clothes, holding a broom in her hand, was sweeping the floor in the courtyard.

Seeing people come in, the delicate woman immediately revealed a smile.

"Are you two here to worship the Buddha?"

The old blind man didn't speak, and the middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

"This way, please."

The delicate woman made an inviting gesture.

The Senior and Junior Brothers then followed the delicate woman's lead towards the Buddhist hall.

But right at this moment.

The expressions of both the middle-aged man and the old blind man changed simultaneously.

Especially the old blind man, a look of shock surfaced on his face.

He immediately used spiritual energy to secretly transmit his voice.

"Junior Brother, this woman..."

The middle-aged man said solemnly: "Senior Brother guessed correctly. This woman is, in all likelihood, the Physique of Calamity recorded in ancient books."

Hiss!

The old blind man couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

The Physique of Calamity!

They actually encountered a Physique of Calamity inside this temple.

This was truly too unexpected.

For a moment, both Senior and Junior Brothers didn't dare to step forward.

The Physique of Calamity, ah!

Whoever touches it suffers bad luck.

Especially people like them who could pry into Heaven's Secrets, they knew the terror of the Physique of Calamity even more clearly.

"Eh? Why don't you two come in?"

Rosie Song turned her head, found these two people standing outside muttering, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Uh... we suddenly have some business, we won't intrude anymore."

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, and then prepared to quickly leave this place with the old blind man.

But they hadn't even taken two steps and hadn't even walked out of the temple gate yet.

Suddenly.

The incense burner behind the gate unexpectedly fell over.

The two also hadn't expected this to happen and hurriedly dodged out of the way.

Clang!

The incense burner fell heavily to the ground.

Incense ash scattered all over the floor.

Stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Oh my, how did the incense burner fall?"

Rosie Song was startled and quickly ran over.

The commotion naturally also alarmed the other monks inside the temple.

Void Sea and Void Bamboo, father and son, were seen rushing out.

Taking one look at the situation outside, they immediately assumed that the old blind man and the middle-aged man had kicked the incense burner over.

"Halt!"

Void Sea shouted loudly, his eyes glaring wide.

"Where do you madmen come from, daring to cause trouble in my Shaolin Temple?"

The father and son both treated the old blind man and the middle-aged man as troublemakers.

The Senior and Junior Brothers both felt a wave of helplessness.

What kind of situation is this?

They clearly didn't have the slightest intention of causing trouble, yet they were treated as troublemakers by the monks in this temple.

"Two Masters, we are not here to cause trouble."

"Yes, this incense burner fell down by itself, it has nothing to do with us."

The old blind man and the middle-aged man quickly spoke up to explain.

"Nonsense! The incense burner was placed perfectly well, how could it fall down by itself for no reason?"

Clearly, these words couldn't make Void Sea and Void Bamboo believe them.

"Junior Sister Song, are these two here to cause trouble?"

Void Bamboo looked at Rosie Song and asked her.

"Uh, the two of them said they came to worship the Buddha,"

Rosie Song said somewhat in a difficult position.

Because she also wasn't sure whether these two were truly here to cause trouble.

It's just that looking at their strange appearance, their behavior was indeed somewhat suspicious.

The old blind man and the middle-aged man were a bit speechless.

Great, now it truly can't be explained clearly.

It was just that the timing of this incense burner falling down was truly too coincidental.

It fell down exactly when the two of them were passing by.

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like the two of them had deliberately knocked the incense burner over.

"We really didn't knock this incense burner over,"

The old blind man spoke up and said.

Void Sea frowned: "You two are also cultivators?"

The old blind man and the middle-aged man could only nod.

"What is your background?"

How were the two supposed to answer this?

Their background had never been known to outsiders.

Because once they said it, it would very likely attract massive trouble.

"We..."

The old blind man was just about to muddle through, but as a result, his Storage Bag suddenly fell to the ground.

Clatter, clatter.

Quite a few things spilled out from inside.

The other things were fine.

But there was one item that made the expressions of Void Sea, Void Bamboo, and Rosie Song all change.

It was a skull, stark white bone, extremely horrifying.

What kind of good person carries this kind of thing around with them?

Void Bamboo and Void Sea immediately glared, staring at the old blind man and the middle-aged man with extremely wary gazes.

"These two must be Evil Cultivators!"

The two concluded.

The old blind man quickly picked up his things, still wanting to explain.

But Void Sea and Void Bamboo had already made their move.

The father and son had also greatly increased their cultivation recently; they were no longer the Song family father and son of the past.

When the two attacked, their might was quite extraordinary.

Lunging straight at the old blind man and the middle-aged man.

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man was also enraged.

"To think that monks who have renounced the world are so unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

His single arm swung violently.

A flash of white light appeared.

Void Bamboo and Void Sea were instantly enveloped by this white light.

For a moment, both of them found it difficult to move.

"The Buddha's Light Shines Upon All!"

Void Sea roared loudly, and a golden-bodied Buddha emerged behind him.

And the face of the Buddha was impressively Quinn Ye's.

Boom!!!

Under the illumination of the golden Buddhist light, the middle-aged man's white light instantly dissipated.

Seizing this opportunity, Void Bamboo used a move of the Buddhist Vajra Palm, striking directly toward the middle-aged man.

In this moment of crisis, the old blind man pulled out a compass from his hand.

"Freeze!"

The old blind man shook the compass, and instantly, it was as if everyone was standing within the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

For a time, Void Bamboo and Void Sea were trapped inside a formation; what they saw before their eyes was no longer inside The Shaolin Temple.

"Take advantage of this moment, let's go quickly."

The old blind man coughed repeatedly, pulling the middle-aged man to retreat outside.

Just as they stepped out of the temple's main gate.

They saw yet another bald monk blocking their path.

"Two Benefactors, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

The newcomer had a gentle face and looked approachable.

It was exactly Monk Hugo.

The middle-aged man was instantly startled.

"Senior Brother, a formidable monk has arrived!"

The old blind man also sensed Hugo's cultivation, and his expression became solemn.

Rumble!!!

Suddenly.

A dark cloud actually appeared in the sky.

A bolt of lightning unexpectedly struck down.

The range it covered was exactly the position where the three of them—Hugo, the old blind man, and the middle-aged man—were standing.

"What's going on?"

In this instant, Hugo, the old blind man, and the middle-aged man were all dumbfounded.
