Chapter 3400
Looking at the old monk who was holding a strange yellow monk robe, Xiao Hua couldn't help but sigh. Just now, he had been talking nonsense with Little White about the spirits of all living things. In fact, as a human, the most difficult thing for a demon to reach was the human heart. Only with a heart could one be benevolent, righteous, and virtuous. Only then could one have no regrets for one's faith. This kind of human nature was something that demons would never understand.
From the Exquisite Temple to this pool, Xiao Hua only needed to fly. However, Xiao Hua also knew that along the way, not to mention the slippery snow and rugged mountain roads, even with the old monk's turbid eyes, it was already extremely difficult for him to reach this pool from the Exquisite Temple.
Not to mention, the old monk's clothes were already covered in snow. Xiao Hua didn't know how long he had been standing here.
However, the old monk's arms were very calm as he held the robe. The yellow hat was placed on top of the robe, and a string of prayer beads was placed beside the hat. His eyes were calmly looking forward. They had already passed through the water vapor and landed outside the cliff.
From those turbid eyes, Xiao Hua could see the old monk's conviction and persistence. Although Xiao Hua didn't say anything, he believed that Xiao Hua was bathing in the pool.
Facing such a heavy trust, Xiao Hua felt a rare kind of nervousness. It was as if this was a kind of responsibility. This responsibility made Xiao Hua feel even more restrained and uneasy than when he faced the strange insect in the void.
"Elder, please wait a moment. I … will come up right away!"
Xiao Hua muttered to himself for a moment. He used his hand to lift up the hot water in the pool and symbolically washed his body a few times.
"Buddhist Lord, don't be anxious ~" A smile flashed across the old monk's extremely old face. He said, "Carefully bathing and washing away the dust in the body is also cleansing the mind. Using a pure mind is the foundation of Buddhism. Buddhist Lord spent so much effort and didn't slack off in the slightest. This is truly worthy of this poor monk's admiration!"
"Sweat …" A trace of shame appeared in Xiao Hua's heart. He originally wanted to get up, but now he could only be patient and properly wash his body. Although he didn't wash away any dirt, Xiao Hua felt that it was a blasphemy to the old monk's lofty faith.
Looking at the monk robe in the old monk's hand, Xiao Hua waved his hand and the yellow monk robe flew into the air. After casually putting it on, it landed beside the old monk.
"This poor monk will help Buddha Lord change his clothes …" The old monk felt the clothes in his hands fly away. After a while, he finally opened his mouth. Xiao Hua wanted to put on his own clothes, but this monk robe was different from a Daoist robe. It was even different from the monk robes Xiao Hua had seen before. It was very strange, so he didn't put on any pretense. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder."
When the old monk heard this, he beamed with joy. He looked at Xiao Hua with his eyes closed, and his hands trembled as he helped Xiao Hua put on his clothes. After half a meal's worth of time, Xiao Hua finally put on the monk's robe. When one of his arms came out of the monk's robe, Xiao Hua let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at the old monk who had also changed into a new monk's robe and asked, "Elder, you don't have to wear this monk's robe every day, right?"
"Buddha Lord, don't worry. This is the Buddha Lord's formal robe. It can only be worn during my Tantric Sect's major celebrations. There's no need to wear it on ordinary days!"
The old monk smiled and said, "Moreover, my Xiao Ling Long Temple's lineage has always been small. When this poor monk passes away, there will only be one Buddha Lord.
The Buddha Lord's status is honorable. Other than the current Buddha Lord, who else can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Buddha Lord in the past?
If the Buddha Lord wants to wear it, he can wear it. No one can stop him! "
"Hehe, that's really free and unfettered!" Xiao Hua smiled.
The old monk proudly said, "Of course, my Tantric Sect has always been an anomaly in the Buddhist Sect. In the eyes of others, it is full of mystery!"
"I understand!"
Xiao Hua smiled. It was funny but also a bit bitter. Just now, when the old monk was changing his clothes, he used his spiritual sense and true qi to check the old monk's meridians and body. He even used the Devil Realm's technique to check his blood vessels.
Just as the old monk said, the old monk was really at the end of his life. His meridians had long withered, the essence of his body was also dried up. His heart and blood vessels were abnormally old. Everything he did now was based on a kind of belief. The scene of the old monk lying on the ground was definitely not a coincidence.
Facing such a body, even Xiao Hua's Rejuvenation Pill was powerless to bring him back to life!
"Alas … … there is a limit to one's strength. It is indeed so!
Perhaps only an immortal or a true Buddha Lord … … can let this old man live until tomorrow! "Xiao Hua sighed.
"Buddha Lord, please. This poor monk can finally shave the Buddha Lord's head!"
The old monk put his palms together and bowed in a very gratified manner, "This is the most glorious moment of this poor monk's life. It is also the moment this poor monk has looked forward to for a lifetime!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder!" Xiao Hua used his monk robe to wrap the old monk. The two of them slowly flew up and flew towards Xiao Ling Long Temple.
Although Xiao Hua was afraid that the old monk would not be able to take it and flew extremely slowly, he still landed in front of Xiao Ling Long Temple's main hall in a moment.
Although the old monk could not see clearly, when his feet touched the ground, he felt the familiarity of the surroundings. He was not surprised and said with a smile, "Although Buddha Lord has not shave his head, he actually has such divine ability. It is truly the fortune of my Tantric Buddhism Sect!"
"I do not dare. They are all insignificant Daos. Compared to Elder's cultivation, they are far inferior!" Xiao Hua did not dare to be too arrogant in front of an old man like Dao Shan. He replied humbly.
"This poor monk's cultivation has just begun. It cannot be compared to Buddha Lord who has already cultivated for several lifetimes!
Even if Buddha Lord is a senior cultivator in this life and does not understand Buddhism, as long as he enters my Buddhism Sect, he will be able to find the good karma and good karma of that day. All Buddhism Sect's cultivation can be traced! "The old monk's seemingly careless words immediately made Xiao Hua feel greatly alarmed in his heart!
"That's right. Buddhism Sect emphasizes reincarnation and cultivation. This Hidden Immortal Continent … this Xiao feels so familiar. Although I have not found Lu Zhen yet, I have not found Piaomiao Sect, but perhaps … it is this Xiao's experience from my previous life." Xiao Hua's thoughts turned rapidly, "Could it be that this Xiao is really …"
Alas, there is always only one truth in this world. Although Xiao Hua is already a Nascent Soul master, he is still so insignificant under the Heavenly Dao. He wants to find his own origin from the confusing world of the human world. All kinds of traces, a thousand layers of fog, always make him unable to find the way back on the wrong path.
"I know …" The old monk raised his hand and pushed open the door of the main hall. He did not ask about Xiao Hua's cultivation. He did not even care if Xiao Hua was a Confucian cultivator or a Daoist cultivator. Perhaps he already regarded Xiao Hua as a lay disciple of Buddhism Sect.
"Buddha Lord, please ~" The old monk pushed open the door. He did not dare to take half a step forward and said very respectfully.
Xiao Hua was also not polite and stepped into the main hall!
However, he was also somewhat nervous in his heart. He did not know what was inside this main hall. Xiao Hua naturally did not enter the main hall of Buddhism Sect. However, he saw many Buddhist shrines and Buddha statues in the ruins of Buddhism Sect. Even in his memory, there was once a golden statue of Buddha.
However, this Xiao Ling Long Temple was a branch of Tantric Buddhism. Moreover, it was built ten thousand years ago to wait for him, the so-called future Buddha Lord. How could Xiao Hua not be curious?
The whole main hall was empty, but it was also abnormally clean. Xiao Hua raised his eyes and saw a ten feet golden body. This golden body was abnormally fat, with a bare chest and a very warm smile on its face. What was special was that on both sides of its belly, which was bigger than ten months of pregnancy. In its left hand was a small bag, and in its right hand was a thick prayer bead. Moreover, this golden body was casually lying there. It was not standing like an ordinary golden body of Buddha Lord. It was also not like when Xiao Hua first formed Buddha's sarira with one hand pointing to the sky and the other pointing to the earth.
"This is the future Buddha Lord ~" Xiao Hua saw that the golden body of Buddha inside was not too different from what he had imagined. It was the same as what he had seen in the ruins of Buddhism Sect. Unconsciously, his heart was slightly calmed, a kind of inexplicable calmness.
In front of the golden body of Buddha, there was only an ordinary incense table. On it, two thick red candles were lit. In the middle of the red candles, there was a small fist-sized incense burner. On the incense burner, there were nine red incense sticks, each as thick as a thumb. The incense burner was not big, so the nine incense sticks had already completely filled the incense burner.
At this time, it should be because the old monk had waited for Xiao Hua for too long, the incense sticks had almost burned to the end.
In front of the incense table, there were two ordinary praying mats. Although they were somewhat old, one of them was particularly worn out.
Before the praying mat, there was no Buddhist weapon such as a wooden fish. There was only a small box, half of which was covered by a bright yellow silk.
When Xiao Hua stopped to look, the old monk had already shakily walked to the praying mat. He knelt on the praying mat, kowtowed, and recited: "Namo Maitreya Buddha, disciple kowtows to Buddha. Disciple has waited under the green lamp for nearly a hundred years. Now, I finally welcome Buddha Lord's flesh in this life.
Disciple is fortunate to be able to shave Buddha Lord's flesh today. May Buddha Lord send down the auspiciousness of a hundred thousand worlds to bless Buddha Lord's flesh. Disciple is willing to use my broken body to help Buddha Lord cross the tribulation in this life. "
Immediately, the old monk respectfully kowtowed nine times with his head on the ground. His mouth was also chanting, and at this time, Xiao Hua was once again bewildered.
After a full half cup of tea's time, the nine incense sticks finally burned to the end. The old monk raised his head, put his palms together and said, "Namo Maitreya Buddha." Then, he lifted his hand and lifted the silk covering the small box. When he opened the box, there was a bronze mirror and a simple razor inside.
The old monk invited the razor out with both hands. He turned around and coughed: "Bodhi, I am holding the blade for Buddha Lord today. Are you willing to abandon everything in the secular world and enter my Buddhist sect?"
"Elder … …" Xiao Hua walked to the front. He didn't want to hide anything and said: "Although I cultivate Buddhist sect's 《Exquisite Leaf Sutra》, I was already a Dao sect disciple before practicing Buddhist sect's cultivation method.
Moreover, my cultivation method is very complicated. If I say it, elder may not believe me.
Today, I came from Hidden Immortal Continent, but … … I want to find a senior monk who knows the method of nirvana. I really came to Xiao Ling Long Temple to ask for directions. I didn't expect there to be so many surprises waiting for me here.
Elder, let me shave my head and respect me as the future Buddha Lord, I … … can accept it.
But this shave matter, just now when I was bathing, I already thought it through. I have already cultivated Buddha's sarira. Elder, can you let this Buddha's sarira replace me to shave my head and become a monk? "
