Chapter 990
"Woo!" A gust of wind blew on the platform again. In the gust of wind, Zhang Xiaohua's slender figure appeared from the mountain rock beside the Evil Suppression Cauldron. Before he landed on the ground, a green jade box appeared in his hand. He quickly put the Wind Bead into the jade box and cast a dozen of his most powerful Inhibition Spells on the jade box. Only then did Zhang Xiaohua heave a sigh of relief. He attached a strand of divine thought to the jade box and put it into his belt!
This Wind Bead was extremely powerful. Since it was able to fight against the bamboo that was suppressing him, he was not sure if the jade box would be able to trap it. Thus, he left a strand of his divine sense. As long as the Wind Bead showed any changes, Zhang Xiaohua would immediately unleash the powerful seal again!
After doing all this, Zhang Xiaohua took the little monk Kong Jian out from behind the stone pillar. She put him down and unsealed his acupoints to wake him up. At this time, the gust of wind had just passed. Kong Jian did not suspect anything. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Why is the wind so strange?
I've only heard wind in the Forbidden Wind Valley occasionally. Why is there so much cold wind these days? "
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Why is this place called the Forbidden Wind Valley?"
"This …" Kong Jian was stunned. He said, "How would I know?
I've asked my senior brothers before, but they all said they didn't know. Even Abbot Changsheng doesn't know. He only knows that it has always been called that. "
Then, Kong Jian looked at Zhang Xiaohua and asked tentatively, "Almsgiver Ren, you … you said you had a fight with Senior Kong Ju. You … you two … who won?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose. "If your Senior Kong Ju won, wouldn't you know?
If I lost, would I be able to stay in the Sutra Depository for the next few days? "
"Ah???"
The little monk, Kong Jian, was on the verge of breaking down. With a long face, he clasped his hands together and said, "Almsgiver Ren, I … I asked you to come here because … because I wanted to have a chat with you about our ideals. Hmm, the weather is so beautiful today, we can't afford to be irritable!
But the wind was strong just now, so this little monk suddenly remembered that the clothes I washed in the morning are still hanging by the door. If I don't take them in, they will get dirty, so … "
"So, let's not talk about life today?
We'll talk about it when we have the chance in the future? "Zhang Xiaohua was almost laughing in his heart.
"Yes, yes!"
Little Monk Kong Jian was overjoyed and said, "In the future, when I walk a little further on the path of life and comprehend more, I'll talk to Almsgiver Ren. What do you think?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiaohua nodded. "I'm also dizzy from all the reading in the Sutra Depository. How would I have the mood to talk about my thoughts?"
"Alright, then I'll accompany you back!"
Little Monk Kong Jian heaved a huge sigh of relief. Without hesitation, he led Zhang Xiaohua back to the entrance of the Dalin Temple!
Seeing that the little monk had left in a hurry, Meng giggled and said, "How was it?
Did you teach this little monk a good lesson today? "
"Of course." Zhang Xiaohua said proudly, "I, Shaoxia, am the best at persuading people with my virtue. When this little monk Kong Jian listened to my advice, he almost thought that I, Shaoxia, had a glib tongue. Before I finished speaking, he was already convinced. If he wasn't a monk, he would have chopped off a chicken's head and burned yellow paper to become sworn brothers with me!"
"Hahaha." Meng laughed hysterically. She pointed at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "You … you'd better be a monk. It's a great loss for Buddhism to lose you!"
"That won't do!"
Zhang Xiaohua said in all seriousness, "It's only because you exist in this world that I jumped out of Buddhism. From then on, I have no fate with Buddhism. If I were to convert to Buddhism now, wouldn't the five hundred years of looking back and praying in front of Buddha be for nothing?
It doesn't matter if our fate is in vain, but if Buddha's promise is in vain, my sin will be great! "
"Xiaohua!"
Meng was very touched when she heard this. She stepped forward and held his hand. She looked at him affectionately. Although it was close to dusk, the two of them could still see each other through their sparkling eyes.
"Mmm." Meng was held in Zhang Xiaohua's arms. Her hot body temperature made Zhang Xiaohua restless!
After a long while, Meng pushed Zhang Xiaohua away and whispered, "Xiaohua, this … this is the pure land of Buddhism. Don't …"
"Hee hee!" Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Then … is it okay if we're not in the pure land of Buddhism?"
Meng rolled her eyes at him. She looked at the Dalin Temple like a creeping monster and asked in a low voice, "Today is the ninth day. You … what secret book did you read in the Sutras Depository? Haven't you finished reading it?
Is it possible that … the secret book of the Dalin Temple is really unique? "
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "It's a strange stick technique. I won't tell you the details, but …" Zhang Xiaohua hesitated and said, "I thought I could finish it in two or three days. Who would have thought that I would finish it today? Even if I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid the monks of the Dalin Temple will be anxious. Alas, I have to hurry up tomorrow!"
"That's okay."
Meng comforted her and said, "Anyway, we've already sent the invitation to the Sect Leader. There's still some time before the Martial Arts Convention. Even if we can't go back in time, we won't delay the Sect Leader's matters. You can read it carefully and patiently here. At worst, we'll go back to Lingxiang Peak with Master Changsheng!
Hee hee, besides, the Dalin Temple has already agreed to let you read it. They can't possibly chase you away after you finish reading it, right? "
"Not necessarily ~" Zhang Xiaohua sighed.
Sure enough, on the tenth day, when Zhang Xiaohua immersed her divine sense into the secret book of the "Heavenly Staff Technique" and no one else appeared, the Great Master Chang Geng appeared!
The Great Master Chang Geng smiled and said, "Young benefactor Ren, I heard from the disciples of the Sutras Depository that you're diligent and eager to learn. Just this ordinary" Heavenly Staff Technique "alone took you nine days. This really makes the disciples of the Dalin Temple blush with shame!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the secret book in Zhang Xiaohua's hands.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and looked at the secret book that had flipped to the last page. She closed it and handed it to the Great Master Chang Geng. She said, "This disciple is stupid and can't remember this staff technique. You didn't allow me to copy it, so I had to revise it every day. If there's anything wrong, I'll have to ask for your mercy!"
"It's okay, it's okay ~" The Great Master Chang Geng waved his hands and said, "All the martial arts in the world originate from the great forest. The secret books of the Dalin Temple are naturally for everyone to learn. Young benefactor Ren, just try your best to learn.
However … "
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. "Does the Great Master have something to say?"
"This old monk has some matters to attend to and needs to leave the temple. I remember that young benefactor has something to ask this old monk …"
"Aiyo!" Zhang Xiaohua slapped her forehead. She had wanted to ask the Great Master Chang Geng about Meng's background, but she had forgotten about the staff technique. It was rare that Meng knew about her cultivation and never mentioned it for the past nine days. If the Great Master Chang Geng hadn't come, she probably would have forgotten about it!
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly got up and put the secret book of the Heavenly Staff Technique back to its original place. She pulled the Great Master Chang Geng and said, "Great Master is merciful. This junior has almost forgotten about it. This junior has already memorized the staff technique and there's no need for me to come to the Sutras Depository. Great Master, please quickly tell this junior and Senior Sister Zixia about the past."
"Haha, benefactor need not be in such a hurry. This old monk has obtained the Abbot's permission. Naturally, this old monk will explain everything. However, this involves the secrets of the Dalin Temple. Therefore, I cannot say too much."
The Great Master Chang Geng said as he followed Zhang Xiaohua out of the Sutras Depository.
After the two of them left, the old monk frowned and floated up. It was the Imperial Wind Technique. He floated to the front of the bookshelf where the Heavenly Staff Technique was kept. He raised his hand and took out the manual. However, when he immersed his divine sense into it, he looked at it for a long time before withdrawing. His face was filled with confusion as he whispered, "It's a very simple staff technique.
How could this young benefactor be interested in it for nine days?
Could it be that his aptitude is so poor?
But … with such poor aptitude, how could he enter the Dao of Immortality?
How strange, how strange! "
He then smiled bitterly and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, the Dao of Immortality has long been destroyed. For the Incense Sect to have such a disciple is already not bad. Even if there is something strange about it, what can be done?"
After he finished speaking, he floated down and continued to sweep the floor.
Zhang Xiaohua followed the Great Master Chang Geng out of the Dalin Temple. Meng was surprised that Zhang Xiaohua had come out so early today. After bowing to the Great Master Chang Geng, the Great Master Chang Geng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Xiaohua. He said apologetically, "Benefactor Ren, regarding Benefactor Zi Xia's matter, this old monk is in a difficult position. Although the Abbot has said that there is nothing about the Dalin Temple that cannot be told to others, but … but there are still some secrets. Forgive this old monk for not being able to … Haha, here are some places and names. The two of you will have to search for them yourselves."
"I see!"
Zhang Xiaohua was a little disappointed, but Meng's eyes flashed with gratitude. She bowed again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Great Master. This matter involves the privacy of your esteemed temple and should not be divulged. Great Master, please rest assured that this matter will only be known by me and … Junior Brother. As long as it involves the Dalin Temple, we will definitely hear it and rot in our hearts!"
"Haha, that's good, that's good." At this moment, the Great Master Chang Geng released the paper in his hand.
Zhang Xiaohua took the paper and opened it. There were indeed several places and names inside. She turned to look at Meng and handed the paper over. Meng shook her head and said, "Junior Brother, you should take it!
We are in the same profession. "
"Oh, okay then!" Zhang Xiaohua did not stand on ceremony and kept it in her arms.
The Great Master Chang Geng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I have seen Young Benefactor Ren's staff techniques. The abbot has decreed that if Benefactor wishes to pay respects to Great Master Yuantian, please follow me!"
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua understood. She had talked to Great Master Chang Xing and the Great Master Chang Geng about paying respects to Great Master Chang Geng. Great Master Chang Xing had replied that they could go to the pagoda forest to pay their respects before they left. Now that he mentioned it, he probably had the intention of sending them off.
Thus, Zhang Xiaohua cupped her hands and said, "That's right. The Great Master Chang Geng has spoken my mind. I have been nagging your esteemed temple for several days. After paying respects to Great Master Yuantian, we should return to the Incense Cult!"
