Chapter 32: The Glory of Buddhist Teachings Is Invincible

Holding the "Buddhist teachings," Mugang Xian’s toes were trembling. At this moment, he deeply realized how profound Bai Qige’s teachings really were. If this package were to activate, not only would Shan Jingshou have to change his ways, but everyone present would also have to go to the afterlife and be reborn.

Too shocked, Mugang Xian’s mind stalled completely, his expression dazed, with no reaction to Shan Jingshou’s words. In Shan Jingshou’s eyes, this classmate, the sports committee member, vice president of the Xiangbei Basketball Club, and head of the Three Beasts of Canglan, Gorilla, sat there cold and calm, holding a large package of timed bombs, steady as a mountain, seemingly indifferent to life and death, ready to risk it all over a disagreement.

Although Shan Jingshou came from a family with a criminal background, he had never seen a fugitive in person; he had only heard stories. After all, it was his father, Mountain Fox, who truly managed the gang. He never expected that one day he would be pushed to this point by his classmates.

As the beeping sound continued for 180 seconds, Mugang Xian remained in a daze. Shan Jingshou thought that this tough guy was trying to completely overpower him with his presence. However, he had to admit he was scared. His mind raced, searching for a way out of this situation, and his gaze slightly drifted, unable to resist glancing at a similar sports backpack next to Gongcheng Liang and Mugong Yan.

"If there is one bag of Buddhist teachings that cannot save a wicked person, then bring out two bags! Gongcheng Liang, open your backpack and let them truly feel the boundless power of the old monk’s teachings!"

Bai Qige’s voice came through the wireless headset. Gongcheng Liang trembled as he opened the backpack, and unsurprisingly, it contained a powerful weapon disguised as "Buddhist teachings," which was actually explosives. Shan Jingshou was shocked again, realizing there was more than one fugitive; class monitor Gongcheng Liang was also a tough character.

At that moment, everyone was immersed in the shock brought by Bai Qige’s boundless teachings. Shan Jingshou had to say, "If you really want to be my friends, I admit you have succeeded. You are the kind of tough characters worth knowing, so let’s turn off the bomb! If my men get too nervous and accidentally shoot you, that would be terrible!"

"The bomb is remotely controlled; we can’t turn it off!" Mugang Xian’s voice trembled. At this moment, Shan Jingshou was also overly nervous and couldn’t think that Mugang Xian was scared too. He thought this classmate was finally showing his mad, cruel, and beastly true colors, which made his voice sound so twisted and harsh.

Shan Jingshou had indeed considered shooting the three of them and throwing away the timed bomb, but upon hearing this, he thought the three had been prepared and were willing to play this deadly game. One hundred twenty seconds had already passed, and after much thought, Shan Jingshou finally lowered his head and said, "Gorilla, I give in; you can say whatever you want!"

Upon hearing this, the countdown of the timed bomb finally stopped, and everyone in the room sighed in relief. At that moment, the three of them heard Bai Qige’s voice again through their headsets, "Since we’ve turned enemies into friends, have Shan Jingshou make his men put down their weapons!"

Mugang Xian, having returned from the shock he just experienced, voiced this request. Shan Jingshou frowned but still had everyone put down their weapons.

"Hehe, what a well-behaved good child. Now, Mugong Yan, open the third package of teachings that I gave you! Don’t worry, there’s no explosive for saving the world inside, just other things!"

Mugong Yan, feeling unsure, opened his sports backpack. As he pulled down the zipper with a ripping sound, a thin mist shot out quickly, filling the entire living room in an instant. The people were stunned, and soon, everyone began to feel weak and fell to the ground.

"Amitabha, this is an expensive but powerful gas smoke bomb. It takes effect in just a few seconds, even the world champion will be unable to move and at the mercy of others. This new technology truly reflects the essence of my Buddha’s compassion. Besides being expensive, it really has no other flaws!"

The voice no longer came from the headset. The old monk, wearing a gas mask, pushed the door open and loudly chanted a Buddhist name. He came to Shan Jingshou, who was lying on the table, limp and unable to move. Shan Jingshou trembled, trying hard to lift his head, his right hand also shaking as he reached for his waist where a gun was hidden, but his plan failed. A strong hand, as hard as steel, gripped his arm and took away his gun.

"Shan Jingshou, even in a desperate situation, you do not give up struggling. Your awareness is something I truly admire, but of course, I will not give you a chance! Based on your physical condition, it will take at least five minutes to overcome the effects of the gas, but that’s enough! Thanks to a certain fool, my binding skills are quite excellent!"

Before long, Shan Jingshou and the others were all tied up, including the henchmen. Only Bai Qige from the Seven Holy Spirits was completely knocked out because if these people’s superpowers combined to resist, it would be a bit tricky for Bai Qige too.

After five minutes, Mugang Xian and the others could barely move. After about ten minutes, they managed to stand up but still looked very weak.

"Disciples, isn’t my Buddhist teaching idea D plan quite sharp!"

"Coach, you only told us about the plan A and B. We’ve never heard of this D plan, and you actually let us come in with a timed bomb! Coach, are you thinking of letting us transform alongside Shan Jingshou through your boundless Buddhist teachings?"

Mugang Xian was a bit annoyed, but Bai Qige laughed and said, "A real man shouldn’t worry too much about little details. What matters is the outcome. The process doesn’t matter at all. And doesn’t it sound very romantic to bravely sacrifice yourself for The Way of Basketball? If you really do move on, I’m sure the Buddha would give you a thumbs up, admiring your spirit, and maybe even prepare seventy-two celestial maidens for you in the Western Paradise."

Are these things really small details not worth caring about? Mugang Xian was completely sure that the Buddha this old monk worshipped had nothing to do with the Buddha known to the world. Although this monk had a very compassionate look, his actions revealed a deep cunning; he was just a wicked monk. Bai Qige didn’t mind the looks of disapproval from Mugang Xian and the others, and he swaggered over to Shan Jingshou, who had regained some ability to move but was tightly bound and unable to escape.

"Hello, young man. It’s nice to meet you for the first time. My name is Wet Dream, the abbot of Lanruo Temple. I’m currently the coach of the Xiangbei Basketball Club, leading Mugang Xian and the others in basketball skill training for an important match in a few days. However, I feel the Xiangbei Basketball Club needs a key player, so I hope you can put down Bloody Earth and join the Xiangbei Basketball Club, sharing your youthful passion on the basketball court with Mugang Xian and the others! What do you think?"
