Buddha and Demon as One, Good and Evil Split in Two

Upon hearing Bao Wen's words, Wu Tong immediately realized who this Monk Bao Wen was.

Bao Wen, one of the Ten Elders, is the eldest disciple of Master Jiekong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

He is also Baojing's (Xiao Zizai) senior brother. He is respectful to his teachers and has a straightforward personality, but he is extremely prone to breaking the precept against anger.

This is because Xiao Zizai injured Master Jiekong in the past, causing Master Jiekong's meridians to be severed and his power to be completely lost.

Bao Wen had always harbored deep resentment towards Xiao Zizai, and even once wanted to kill Xiao Zizai to avenge Master Jiekong.

It must have taken a lot of effort for Master Jiekong to get Bao Wen to suppress his anger and come here with Xiao Zizai.

Thinking of this, Wu Tong couldn't help but feel Master Jiekong.

The two disciples he took in were a born killer and a volatile, easily angered Wrathful Vajra.

The two disciples' personalities were completely opposed to the Buddhist principles of abstaining from greed, anger, and ignorance, and they also disliked each other.

Just by looking at the two of them, Wu Tong could already imagine how complicated Master Jiekong's feelings must have been when he was teaching them.

Just as Wu Tong was lost in thought, the two people in front of him started arguing, and as they argued, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

At this moment, the two men stared at each other with grim expressions, as if they were about to start fighting at any moment if they disagreed.

Seeing this, Wu Tong quickly spoke up to stop him:

"Stop, stop, stop... Gentlemen, this is Mount Longhu, not a place for private duels. If you two start fighting, you might as well forget about this forest. Could you please give me some face?"

"Phew... I will certainly give face to Benefactor Wu Tong."

"Hmph, get out of here, you wretched creature."

Upon hearing Wu Tong's advice, Monk Bao Wen seemed to have thought of something and quickly took a few deep breaths to barely suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

Then, glaring at Xiao Zizai in front of him, he roared and shoved Xiao Zizai aside before walking up to Wu Tong.

"Benefactor Wu Tong, the main reason we came here is because of the redemption list you provided to the authorities."

When not facing Xiao Zizai, Bao Wen was quite easy to talk to, although he had a rather serious expression.

However, he was extremely gentle with Wu Tong, showing none of the irritability he displayed when facing Xiao Zizai.

Moreover, it was obvious that he was not the type to procrastinate, so after walking up to Wu Tong, Bao Wen directly explained the purpose of his visit to Wu Tong.

"Exchange list? Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing Bao Wen's words, Wu Tong looked puzzled.

Upon Bao Wen revealed a simple and honest smile and said, "That wicked boy saw that exchange list a while ago and said that there was a Water of Life Potion Technology on it."

The description says that as long as there is still a breath left, it can repair all the injuries on a person's body.

After learning that Benefactor Wu Tong possessed this item, that wretched man went to Shaolin Temple and told us about this treasure. As a result, the abbot sent us here together to seek the medicine.

We came here to ask if Benefactor Wu Tong has any Water of Life on hand. If so, we would like to request a portion.

"Please rest assured, Benefactor Wu Tong, we can exchange goods. Just tell us what you need, and the Shaolin Temple will do its utmost to collect it for you."

Bao Wen explained his purpose, and after listening carefully for a while, Wu Tong understood why the two had come to see him.

After all that, I thought something big had happened. Turns out it was just about helping Master Jiekong find medicine.

'I thought it was something serious. Oh, so that's how it is. But... it was actually Xiao Zizai who went to tell Shaolin Temple himself?'

As expected of Xiao Zizai, he really is a complex person.

Buddha and demon are one, good and evil are two separate things.

Although he was a Murder Demon, this incident reveals the principles he held dear.

And judging from his appearance, he seems to feel quite guilty towards Master Jiekong.

'That must be why Bao Wen was able to suppress his murderous intent towards Xiao Zizai, right?'

After all, in the original storyline, even with Jiekong present, the two still ended up fighting.

The fact that these two are now standing together so quietly is due to Jiekong's warning.

Xiao Zizai's initiative in revealing the Water of Life was likely a major contributing factor.

Having clarified his thoughts, Wu Tong cleared his throat and addressed the somewhat nervous Bao Wen:

"Master Bao Wen, as for the Water of Life, I have it readily available right now, and I can give Water of Life to you."

However, no payment is required.

"After all, I'll be Brother Xiao's boss from now on. The Water of Life isn't that precious. If Brother Xiao wants it, I can afford to provide this employee benefit."

"Furthermore, Master Jiekong is a highly respected Master, and I have great respect for him. Consider this Water of Life a gift."

As he spoke, Wu Tong casually took out a 4.0 version of the Water of Life from his storage space and handed it to Bao Wen in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Bao Wen's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he tremblingly reached out to take the glass test tube from Wu Tong's hand.

Then, carefully, she placed it into the small wooden box in her arms.

After placing it properly, Bao Wen clasped his hands together in a Buddhist gesture towards Wu Tong, saying, "Benefactor Wu Tong, I am truly grateful..."

Xiao Zizai, who was behind him, also bowed.

Seeing this, Wu Tong simply waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

Then he smiled and said to Bao Wen, "Master Bao Wen, you don't need to be so careful."

The test tubes for the Water of Life look like glass, but they are actually made of a special material.

This material has no other special characteristics; its only function is to be strong, so that it can remain intact even under cluster missiles.

The Master only needs to keep it safe and not lose it.

"Don't worry, Benefactor Wu Tong, even if I lose myself, I won't lose this thing."

Upon hearing this, Bao Wen's expression turned serious, and he hurriedly replied.

"Haha, that's good. By the way, this is the method and steps for using the medicine."

Seeing this, Wu Tong simply chuckled and then handed a user manual to Bao Wen in front of him.

After accepting it, Bao Wen bowed to Wu Tong again.

Looking at Bao Wen and Xiao Zizai so excited.

Wu Tong smiled inwardly; in this way, the plan to win back her heart would be a success.

Now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Zizai will definitely do his best to serve me in the future.
