Chapter 39: Becoming a Devil or a Buddha in an Instant

  Section 1

  Apart from Sangye's group, there were over a dozen other groups of devotees waiting to enter the Dharma Assembly Grounds. Only Sangye's group had fewer people; all the other high-ranking lamas led over 100 followers each. The more than 2,000 people waited in an orderly fashion, consisting of men and women, young and old, with some dressed in fine clothes and others in tattered robes. Each person murmured prayers under their breath as they chanted scriptures, creating a majestic yet subdued sound that echoed through the mountains. The procession of over 2,000 people stretched on endlessly along the mountain paths.

  Li Wei did not expect that after several decades of fleeing to India, there were still followers willing to follow him. The spirit of faith is endless and terrifying. The Chinese government has always respected the beliefs of the Tibetan people, but unexpectedly this respect gave an opportunity for traitors to take advantage of it. The national leader's consideration was too comprehensive, his idea was simple: send special agents to India to get rid of these traitors, so they wouldn't spread separatist remarks everywhere, meeting with the President of America today and the Queen of England tomorrow, how despicable! But can international affairs and state affairs be as simple as Li Wei said? Confucius said that governing a country is like cooking a small fish, but that was in ancient times when people's hearts were simple. Nowadays, it's difficult to satisfy everyone's mouth, I'm afraid even if he were alive, he would have to shut down his school.

  Li Wei was halfway up the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain in the distance was the end of the road. Looking closely, there were people carrying weapons and fully armed checking something. Those who had been checked had to cover their eyes and pull on the clothes of the person in front of them. Li Wei gave a signal with his eyes to the monk and the nun, hinting that if they had any suspicious equipment, they should get rid of it quickly.

  Li Wei thought that the 'Shang Shen Shan' group wouldn't have many people who liked to dance with knives and guns, so it should be easy to pass the inspection. As the inspection drew near, he discovered that there were still people using instruments to scan their entire body, if they had mobile phones or other digital products, they would have to hand them over, which wasn't a big problem, but another issue was more serious, every disciple had to recite a passage of scripture in Tibetan before entering, this was a difficult task for Li Wei, he hadn't studied it seriously, he could only pretend to be a monk, and directly passed through. Li Wei regretted not shaving his head and pretending to be a disciple, just as it was about to be his turn, the inspector suddenly received a phone call, and then sped up the inspection process, no longer testing scripture, only checking for digital products and weapons. Li Wei and the female shaman handed over their mobile phones and quickly passed through, being blindfolded and pulled by the person in front of them. The inspection speed behind them became faster and faster...

  The black cloth strip was tied very tightly, making people feel very uncomfortable. Li Wei wanted to loosen it with one hand, but was loudly scolded by a rough voice and had to endure it. The fortune teller behind him pulled his clothes hard, hinting that he should be careful. Li Wei didn't dare make any other movements. He carefully observed everything around him. The road under his feet was very hard, seemingly artificially flattened. Gradually, he couldn't feel the warmth of the sun anymore. Although they weren't turning sharply, the path always leaned slightly to the right and had a slight downward slope. People without professional training or strong directional sense wouldn't notice it at all. As they walked deeper, the evil atmosphere grew thicker. There must be many people with evil energy here. The sound of running water gradually came from ahead, and the tide of air grew heavier...

  Section 2

  The crowd gradually slowed down, standing in rows. Upon hearing that the black cloth covering their eyes could be removed, Li Wei immediately pulled it off and searched for familiar faces. The fortune teller was right behind him, the monk was at the very front, and Sang Jie Da Lai Lama was nowhere to be found. Li Wei scanned his surroundings, a semi-natural, semi-man-made cave with an underground river. Weak light illuminated the crowd like scattered candles inside the cave, indicating a small generator. There was only one entrance, guarded by armed men who continued to let people in. With over 2,000 people, the cave had reached its limit, extremely hot and poorly ventilated. A faint, strange scent wafted through the air, almost imperceptible.

  As the last believer entered, a low and mournful sound of horns came from afar, followed by the unique Buddhist music of the Tubo people. There was no orchestra or musical instruments in the cave, it was obviously pre-recorded and played back through some kind of audio equipment. A high-ranking lama began to chant scriptures, his voice loud and clear, sending shivers down everyone's spine. Li Wei and Shen Po didn't understand the Tubo language, let alone the profound Buddhist scriptures, they just felt a growing sense of unease, anxiety, and restlessness in their hearts. The evil power grew stronger, Li Wei mobilized his energy to counteract the evil aura, he took Shen Po's hand and transmitted his energy to her, forming a protective shield around them with his true energy.

  The chanting of the Grand Lama and the strange fragrance accompanied the Tibetan Buddhist music, complementing each other. With the devout listening of the believers, these four conditions caused the crowd to be "possessed". The monk was also "possessed" at this moment, and the entire cave was prostrating in worship, leaving only two people standing out, so conspicuous, like a crane among chickens - Li Wei and Shen Po!

  The chanting lama was one of the four transmission masters under Dalai Lama, and he secretly felt proud that this transmission was so successful because of his own efforts. He had researched a special method of chanting with an American friend and an American-Chinese believer, combining technology, Tibetan Buddhist inner strength, medicine, and medical skills in four aspects, making his ability to control people's minds extremely strong. Anyone who received the transmission, whether they were lamas or devout believers, could not escape his control. He smiled as he scanned the crowd before him, thinking that if things continued like this, it was not impossible to control all of Tibet. If I can control all of Tibet, I will make myself a living Buddha and be on an equal footing with Dalai Lama. This master had become arrogant and almost didn't notice the two unusual people. One of his subordinates whispered in his ear:

  "Tan Zong Buddha, look, there are two people who didn't kneel down and chant scriptures."

  "Kangba, quickly catch them, the Dharma ritual has not been completed, absolutely do not open fire, and do not kill them, I want to see why they are doing this."

  "Yes! Master Buddha. Let's go, Ba Jia, Cang Gen!"

  Seeing someone with a gun walking towards him, Li Wei pulled the godmother and ran towards the entrance of the cave. The guard at the entrance raised his gun to shoot, but Kangba shouted loudly:

  "Don't shoot! Take him alive!"

  Those men immediately blocked the entrance, pulled out their daggers and pounced on them. Their movements were swift and well-trained, absolutely not ordinary armed personnel. But no matter how powerful they were, they were not a match for Li Wei. Even if they could fire guns, bullets couldn't get close to Li Wei's body, let alone without firing guns? Li Wei didn't let go of the fortune teller's hand, and with lightning speed, he took down each of them one by one.

  Kangba was shocked, if it wasn't for Danzong Buddha's words, he would have fired his gun. He didn't know why, but he followed Danzong Buddha's words to the letter, and even ignored the camp commander's orders.

  Li Wei pushed open the iron gate with one hand, and the people guarding outside were knocked back by the gate and crashed into the stone wall, spitting out blood, and died on the spot. Li Wei pulled the female shaman and ran out, just running 20 or so steps, when suddenly there was a "ding" sound under his feet, Li Wei's heart skipped a beat, it turned out that there were landmines buried there. He picked up the female shaman and urged his inner strength to throw her, the female shaman flew out like an arrow, Li Wei leaped into the air, urging his true energy to protect himself, the landmine exploded with a "boom", the sound was not very loud, but the power was not small. Li Wei landed near the female shaman and bounced off the stone wall several times, no longer falling to the ground, in the mysterious array of the mountain cave, he flew back and forth several times before taking the female shaman out, sending her to a safe area several miles away. He activated the emergency satellite positioning system, made a brief report to his superiors about the situation just now, and transmitted the video recording over. Li Wei said to the female shaman:

  "It's safer here, you just wait here! I'll go find the monk, don't wander around."

  "Well, be careful then! Giant!"

  "You finally acknowledge me as a giant, don't worry, those broken weapons of theirs can't hurt me."

  The nun looked at Li Wei with gratitude, knowing that if it weren't for him, she might not have been able to escape and may have lost herself. Even if she hadn't gotten lost, if she had run on her own, she would probably have been blown up by a landmine.

  Li Wei ran back and forth on the mountain rocks, his heart tangled. He shouldn't have put down the monk's affairs, but the nun didn't know martial arts, so he had to send her away first. Earlier, it was wrong to resist with internal energy, now three people were exposed. But if someone like him was controlled, the consequences would be unthinkable. Monk, monk! You mustn't get into trouble!
