Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 22 The Test of Noserabo

Ye Si Fang is one of the legendary ghosts in the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts. They are often transformed from monks. The temples where they lived were not worshiped, and the incense was always deserted. Finally, they were abandoned and became overgrown and dilapidated. Unbearable.

The monks in these temples naturally don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes. Their lives are miserable.

To put it in a way that is easy for everyone to understand, they are all poor devils!

Zhao Zijin is a bit strange. There is a strong Buddhist culture in Sekiro, including but not limited to ghost Buddhas that can be worshiped everywhere, rosary beads, an important prop that increases the upper limit of health, and the one-handed palm stand made by the protagonist Wolf when killing an important person. The rituals all demonstrate the respect for Buddhism in the Weiming Kingdom.

It’s really surprising that in a place like this, temples are abandoned and monks die of poverty!

Noderabang was the same as before, wearing old and tattered monk robes, blue-grey skin, and a swollen head on top of his thin body, which was very uncoordinated.

"Please come forward and bow to Lord Buddha!"

Zhao Zijin came closer and saw a looming Buddha statue standing beside Yesilifang under the blue-green flames.

"Which Bodhisattva is this?"

Zhao Zijin asked Ye Si Fang.

"Please come forward and bow to Lord Buddha!"

"Yeah! The essence of human beings is really a repeater, even if they die!"

Zhao Zijin curled his lips, took out a torch and tried to light it, but failed.

The shadows were released, and under his command they played with stacks of arhats. The height of the six shadows, including himself, could not touch the roof.

The space here is larger than it looks from the outside!

"Please come forward and bow to Lord Buddha!"

"Okay, okay! Come right away! Come right away!"

Zhao Zijin summoned other shadow soldiers above the elite level and spread them out hand in hand, but they were also unable to touch the boundaries.

Turning to the side, hey, why are we still facing Noderabang and the Buddha statue? Spin again! Still can only see their front faces. Even when he turned his head, he was face to face with the Buddha statue.

Come closer! I still can't see the full picture of the Buddha statue. This Buddha is really boring. What's the point of teasing myself? It’s not okay not to look at him, and it’s hard not to let him see everything after looking at it.

"Please come forward and bow to Lord Buddha!"

"Okay! Come on, come on. Oh, bald donkey, you're here to do it!"

[You are affected by Noderabou’s skills, and your physical strength is being judged. Your intelligence is being judged.]

[Stamina determination failed! 】

[Intelligence judgment failed! 】

[You will deduct 1% of your maximum health every second. On this basis, an additional 1% of your maximum health damage will be added every second. 】

In other words, 1%, 2%, and 3% are deducted like this! Zhao Zijin glanced at the shadow soldiers next to him, and they were also hurt by this.

"Disrespecting the Buddha is a great evil and you should be punished!"

Zhao Zijin frowned, took back all the shadow soldiers except the shadow martyr, and then asked the shadow martyr to kneel down towards the Buddha statue.

Sure enough, while maintaining the kneeling posture with five limbs prostrated to the ground, the health points will not be deducted.

According to this rate of HP depletion, he would die in less than fourteen seconds, but he still stood there motionless, raised his eyebrows at Noderabang provocatively, and said:

"I'm destined to learn how to bend over!"

At the thirteenth second, his health was only 9%. Not to mention kneeling down, he had not used any recovery items.

At the fourteenth second, the health value was locked at the last 1%. Noderabang sighed and disappeared into the darkness together with the candlelight and the Buddha statue. The shadow martyr kneeling on the ground seemed to have been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts and disappeared into the air.

In fact, as long as you contact the background story of Yesabo, you can understand that it is impossible to survive with a heart of reverence for the Buddha. The Buddha did not give them a full meal or warm clothes. The only difficulty in this test is whether you can hold on to your thoughts during the countdown of life. Zhao Zijin did it.     Buddha, do not cross the fool!

If you are about to die, you still cling to the Buddhist scriptures and temples. Doing so will not move the Buddha to allow you to visit the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom. You may even feel embarrassed for believers with elm-headed minds like you and have you removed after your death. Transforming into a demon will make you think deeply.

Lord Buddha's clay sculpture body needs to be worshipped. How can you, a living person, sit in the temple every day and wait for worship?

The light from nowhere marked a path. Zhao Zijin understood that this meant that the test was not over yet, so he stepped forward along that path.

He walked into a room with three screens, and he could see a figure moving behind the screens.

The person behind the screen on the left said:

"I am a monk, and they are demons!"

The person behind the screen on the right said:

"I am a monk, and they are both evil!"

The man behind the middle screen said:

"I am a monk, and they are ghosts!"

The three of them asked Zhao Zijin loudly again:

"Who is the monk?"

Why don't we just have a fight? Our brains are a bit exhausted! Zhao Zijin scratched his hair, feeling a little helpless.

Wait, reverse the logic. Under normal circumstances, those who can pass the first test will have their health locked to 1% at the last moment, so they will definitely use recovery products to recover in order to cope with the battles that may occur later. .

If the reserve of recovery products is sufficient, it will be fine. If it is insufficient, then you will subconsciously resist the next battle. I hope you can still use thinking instead of fighting and pass the test!

Then, all he needs to do is to identify who is the real "monk" behind the three screens!

He turned to look at the screen on the left, which showed an army going to defeat a monster. The green-faced and fanged monster poked its head out between the two peaks. The warriors shot it with muskets and bows, but did not attack it. cause any harm.

The screen on the right depicts an evil spirit that spreads epidemics. Wherever it goes, people and animals alike turn blue, skinny, and lie on the ground vomiting.

The screen in the middle depicts a demon that rips out people's hearts and lungs. Its arms can ignore the barrier of flesh and blood and pull out a person's internal organs.

There was a guess in his mind that maybe before he made a choice about who was the monk behind the three screens, the existence behind the three screens was neither a monk nor a demon, evil spirit, or ghost!

Just like the "Schrödinger's cat" that is both dead and reborn, the three existences behind the screen are in a superimposed state of monks and demons (evils and ghosts). From their words, it can be understood that their existences are mutually exclusive. Conflict, there can only be one "monk" in this room, and the other two must be demons (evils, ghosts)!

call! I was almost misled, I really thought this hidden mission was purely about solving puzzles!

If you help the "monk" determine its identity as a "monk", then it will naturally help you pass the test; in addition, you will also determine the identities of two demons (evils and ghosts), and they will naturally become obstacles that hinder your test. enemy.

I understand!

The second test is to see if you can think through the twists and turns and choose the "monk" who is most helpful to you to defeat the other two demons (evils and ghosts).

"Demon" can be regarded as a powerful human shield tank, suitable for those professions that need sufficient protection to fully concentrate on maximizing output; "Evil" has the ability to impose various negative states and weaken the opponent, which is suitable for overall strength. Contractors with relatively balanced development; the "ghost" attack method targets the inside of the weak body, suitable for those who have more than enough self-preservation but insufficient killing ability.

Zhao Zijin raised his hand and pointed to the screen on the right and said:

"You are a monk!"

The screen on the right fell down, and a monk stood up and saluted Zhao Zijin with his hands clasped together, his body emitting a yellow-green light.

[You are affected by Noderabang's skills, and all attributes are temporarily increased by 5 points! 】

It seems that I still underestimated the ability of "Monk", and there is actually a bonus effect!

Painful roars came from behind the other two screens. A ferocious monster, a terrifying evil spirit, broke through the screen and came towards Zhao Zijin. The yellow-green light shone on them, burning out bursts of white smoke.

Shadows surged under Zhao Zijin, and Die jumped out first, waving kunai to face them, followed by St. Paul, Tone and Crow Feather, not to be outdone, each used their own methods to fight against the enemy.

　I don’t know if you can accept these two chapters.
