Chapter 222 Gatling Bodhisattva: Pick up the scriptures, pick up the scriptures!
Lin Fan was numb.
The corners of his mouth kept twitching.
He just wanted to say...
I really thank you!!!
"Your contact came over?"
"That's not the case." Xiao Long Nu shook her head, a little embarrassed, "In fact, I had forgotten about this... Oh, okay, okay, actually I didn't know that I needed to apply for an assessment to be promoted to a second-rate sect."
"My master contacted me to tell me about this and asked me to tell you first, so I came here."
"But this must be due to my reputation! Otherwise, our Holy Land would never take the initiative to send people to investigate."
She looked up, as if saying: What do you think, am I awesome?
Praise me now!
Lin Fan: “…”
Thank you so much!
Thank you!!!
But seeing that she was about to praise me, Lin Fan didn't know what to say. After all, it wasn't her who brought the "devils" here, so it wasn't her fault.
And I haven't told her this.
What else can I do?
Just wait a little longer.
I could only run to find Xiao Ling'er and explain the matter to her.
"Promoted to a second-rate sect?"
Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but reveal a look of joy: "That's great, Master, don't worry. Master is not in a hurry, right, Master?"
It was at this moment that Medicine Lady appeared.
This was the first time he appeared in the sight of others other than Xiao Ling'er.
"I am Liang Danxia, and I am honored to meet Sect Master Lin."
Yao Lao's figure was very illusory. She bowed slightly to Lin Fan and said with an embarrassed smile, "I have been hiding beside Ling'er all these years, but I have never greeted you, Sect Master Lin. I am ashamed to say so."
"I hope Sect Master Lin won't take it too seriously."
"Everyone has their secrets."
Lin Fan waved his hand gently and chuckled, "Senior, in this state, you should be more cautious. If it were me, I wouldn't dare tell anyone."
"So, senior, you don't need to worry about this matter. But this trip will be delayed for some time."
"Why did Sect Leader Lin say that? Of course, business is more important!"
"Besides, Ling'er is right. I'm not in a hurry in these few days." Yao Lao quickly expressed that she was not in a hurry.
At the same time, she had mixed feelings.
Before reading "Emperor Yan", she always thought that she was hiding very well. Apart from Xiao Ling'er, who else in the Lanyue Sect could discover her?
For her at that time, the Lanyue Sect had only two benefits.
One is the evil fire in the earth's core.
Second, Lin Fan is willing to go all in to train Xiao Ling'er.
But after that, she gradually realized that Lin Fan was... a pervert!
I'm afraid it's an existence even more perverted than the innate Tao soul!
This was their true 'first meeting', and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"It's good to understand."
Lin Fan nodded, his heart also filled with mixed feelings.
"Speaking of which, I have long been certain that Xiao Ling'er has an old grandfather in her ring, but I didn't know until now that it turned out to be a grandmother instead of a grandfather."
"The old medicine man becomes the old medicine lady..."
"But that's true. The Emperor Yan in this world is a girl. She can't be with an old man, right? And she has to be 'protected' closely, without any privacy."
“Eh…”
“It’s so weird.”
"If it's Yao Lao, there won't be such a problem at all."
Thinking about it.
Liang Danxia added: "Then I wish Sect Master Lin and the Lanyue Sect great momentum and smooth sailing in their advancement to a second-rate sect."
"cough."
Hearing this, Lin Fan coughed dryly: "Well, can you change the blessing?"
Liang Danxia and Xiao Ling'er: "Ah?!"
“···”
Two days later.
The messenger from the Wanhua Holy Land has arrived.
It was the Great Elder who came in person!
No one else was brought along.
Since they had met before, the two sides were not strangers. Lin Fan touched his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed. He led all the disciples except Xiao Shitou to greet them.
"Let's cut out the red tape."
The Great Elder glanced at Lin Fan and said unhappily, "There is no need to say anything more. It has only been a few months since we last met. I am here for serious business."
Lin Fan scratched his head again, looking a little embarrassed: "That~"
"Senior, could we have a discussion?"
The elder was a little curious: "What's that expression on your face?"
She was surprised: "Do you think that an old guy like me would treat you as an old man and make things difficult for you because of what happened before?"
"If that's the case, there's no need!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm here just for the sake of formality."
"The Holy Land is very aware of the strength of your Lanyue Sect, but the rules must be followed. That's why an old man like me made this trip."
"But don't worry, I will definitely handle this impartially and will not deliberately make things difficult for you."
"Speaking of which..."
"Your sect should have applied for it long ago."
She was a little angry.
How much!
Wanhua Holy Land has never taken the initiative to give people "certification, assessment, and promotion".
It is clear that your Lanyue Sect has already met the requirements, but you have never sent anyone to apply, and you even let us take the initiative to apply... What kind of nonsense is this!
Logically speaking, we wouldn't send anyone here, right? It's even more impossible for me to come here in person!
That is to say, your previous trip to the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty caused too much trouble, resulting in everyone knowing about it. Everyone knows that your Lanyue Sect has high-end combat power that is almost at the level of a first-class sect~!
This also means that if the Lanyue Sect continues to be known as a third-rate sect, some people will inevitably think that the Wanhua Holy Land is not doing anything, which would not sound good if it were spread out.
Of course~
The main reason is that Xiaolongnu is in the Lanyue Sect.
It's no secret now.
As a direct result, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Longnu actually went to Lan Yue Sect for "further study"~
Although it is unclear why the Holy Land's disciple came to Lanyue Sect for further study, Lanyue Sect has already proven itself and let people know that it is not simple.
This also led to no one doubting that Xiaolongnu came here for "further studies".
But~
The Holy Land taught me to go to a third-rate sect to study.
Coupled with the remarks about the Holy Land's inaction, even if the Wanhua Holy Land did not care about one of them, when two or three were added together, they would still reluctantly care.
Therefore, they took the initiative to send people here.
And the Great Elder came in person.
But come back~
This little bit of "anger" still exists.
In her opinion, it is you, Lin Fan, who is too ignorant~
Do you have the ambition to improve yourself?
After all, you are the sect leader, how can you be so irresponsible to the sect and your disciples?
But!
She had just started to scold him when she suddenly froze.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No, Senior, actually, this, this...actually, you misunderstood."
"What's the misunderstanding?"
"That's right... Actually, I'm not worried that Lanyue Sect will fail the assessment and become a second-rate sect. On the contrary, I want to ask you if you can do me a favor, just... fail the assessment?"
"From now on, my Lanyue Sect will still be just a third-rate sect."
The Great Elder: “Uh???”
Xiao Ling'er and other disciples: "What?!!"
Huo Kunlun, Su Xinghai and other elders: "Ah?!!!"
Xiao Long Nu: “(ΩДΩ)?!”
Hearing this, everyone around was stunned.
"you···"
The Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land opened and closed his red lips, and said in shock and amazement: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Clear."
Lin Fan nodded, spread his hands helplessly, and said: "I just don't want to advance. I think a third-rate sect is good."
"!!!"
"Nonsense!"
The Great Elder frowned and said, "For cultivators of our generation, whether individuals or forces, who doesn't strive to be the best?"
"It's like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't move forward, you will move backward!"
"People who cultivate immortality seek to be happy and have a clear conscience. How can you have a clear conscience if you are like this? You must be ashamed, right?!
Besides, your Lanyue Sect has already met the promotion requirements, why is it so?"
"Well, it's hard to explain, but please believe me, I have my reasons for doing this."
Lin Fan really didn't have a good way to explain it.
You can't just bring the modern stuff over here, can you?
"As for whether I have a clear conscience or feel ashamed, I don't have any problem. I have a clear conscience and I don't feel ashamed. On the contrary, I feel pretty good."
"If I really want to tell you the reason..."
"Perhaps it can be described in nine words."
"Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king~"
The Great Elder: “???”
"What king are you going to be?"
She still felt something was wrong.
Lin Fan could only change his thinking and said, "Then why not put it another way, Senior, and everyone else~"
He said to everyone present: "What do you think are the benefits of being promoted to a second-rate sect or a first-rate sect?"
"This has many benefits~"
Everyone started talking at once.
Huo Kunlun: "There is light on your face!"
"After all, the development trajectory of the Lanyue Sect has been ups and downs... For more than ten thousand years, it has been declining, and it is about to fall from the top to the bottom."
"After the sect master took over, the decline was stopped in just a few years. It even rose against all odds and was promoted to a second-rate sect again. This is a great thing for both the sect and you, the sect master!"
However, Lin Fan shrugged: "So, it's just face, right?"
"Whether it's for me personally or for the entire Lanyue Sect, it's just a matter of face?"
"That's absolutely not the case!" Su Xinghai and the other five elders were so anxious that they turned around and said, "After being promoted to a second-rate sect, there are many practical benefits, such as accepting disciples."
"After becoming a second-rate sect, there will definitely be more disciples coming to pay homage to us."
"It also includes the children of those immortal cultivation families and small forces, who can further enhance the strength of our Lanyue Sect."
"Yes, Master."
"Please think twice, Master."
"Master, the five of us promised to assist you with all our strength and not interfere with your ideas, but you must think twice before doing anything about this matter."
But Lin Fan still shook his head.
"Recruiting more disciples is indeed a benefit, but if there are no promotions, will there be fewer disciples coming to pay homage to the mountain?"
"After the battle with the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, we have already made a name for ourselves. Judging from the situation on the day when the mountain gate was opened two months ago, even some first-rate sects cannot be compared to us, right?"
"Could it be that being promoted to a second-rate sect can bring any 'qualitative' improvement?"
This series of questions confused the five elders.
Intent to refute.
But after opening his mouth and mumbling for a long time, he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"this···"
Zhu Rourong scratched his head and said, "It can enhance the disciples' sense of identity and happiness, right?"
"If you're out and about, a second-rate sect always sounds better than a third-rate sect."
"That's true." Lin Fan did not refute this statement, but continued: "But face is not given by others, but earned by yourself."
"No matter what, strength is the most important thing in Xianwu Continent. No matter where you are, you must follow the law of the jungle. The bigger the fist, the more powerful it is."
"If you really go out, your strength is the final word. What does reputation mean?"
"Okay, okay." The Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land was almost so angry that he laughed: "In your words, a second-rate sect has no merit at all?"
"Then tell me, what are the benefits of not getting promoted and maintaining the status of a third-rate sect?"
Everyone reacted immediately and looked at Lin Fan.
Yes~!
You have said that the advantages of second-rate sects are useless, so why don’t you tell me about the advantages of third-rate sects?
Even Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er stared at Lin Fan with confusion.
“Well, it’s true.”
Lin Fan spread his hands: "First, pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger."
"Those who know the strength of our Lanyue Sect will most likely not care about second-rate or third-rate sects. Those who don't know will not care about our disciples walking around when they hear that we are a third-rate sect."
"But we can take advantage of this and play dumb, taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness to act more conveniently."
Everyone: “…”
“?!”
I go, this statement...
There is some truth in the theory, but why is it so 'vulgar'?
"Secondly, you mentioned the issue of face. Actually, what kind of face does a second-rate sect have?"
"Uncle Huo, you have the most say in this matter. Huode Sect was once a top-tier sect. As the sect leader, how do you maintain your appearance when you go out?"
"Forehead···"
These words almost made Huo Kunlun become autistic.
Although almost everyone greeted him with a smile when he went out, which seemed to be very respectful, in fact, that was just on the surface. To really say that he was very respectable, that was absolutely nonsense.
Isn't it bullying to talk about this topic?
Seeing him like this, Lin Fan spread his hands and said, "The answer is obvious. Uncle Huo, as the sect leader, is like this, let alone the disciples?"
"In my opinion, instead of pursuing the illusory 'face', it is better to develop yourself and have enough strength, so that you can really have face."
“When we’re out in public, you mock me for being a third-rate sect?”
"But when I show that I'm stronger than all of you, that contrast is the most refreshing~!"
Everyone: “…”
This seems to be the truth.
But I always feel like something is wrong!
Isn't this too obscene?!
The Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land was so angry that he laughed. "You didn't mention a word about the benefits of that second-rate sect."
"There are some substantial benefits, but aren't the disadvantages relative?"
“While enjoying the benefits and convenience, you also have to pay and take responsibility.”
"For example, if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, as I remember, third-rate sects can stay out of it, but second-rate sects must act under the orders of the Holy Land?"
“···”
"While enjoying the many benefits, you naturally have to pay the price!"
"I agree." Lin Fan raised his hand: "So, I want to give up these benefits."
“Strive not to be held responsible.”
"We in the Lanyue Sect only need to develop slowly."
"Reputation, those so-called benefits, and all that nonsense is better off not having it."
"What do you mean by third-rate, second-rate, or first-rate?"
"It's all the same!"
"No hurry."
"Besides, this is just a definition from the outside world~"
"Even if you want to save face, you might as well think about it."
"Disciples from our third-rate sect are walking around outside, beating up first-rate, super-first-rate, and even holy ground disciples. That scene~~~"
Gradually~
The disciples' eyes lit up.
The elders also gradually reacted, their eyes shining.
Medicine Grandma exclaimed, "Ling'er, your master is really... different from the others."
"His ideas are always so bizarre, but I have to admit that I am convinced by him."
"It seems that according to what he said, 'vulgar development', it's also good."
"Indeed." Xiao Ling'er pondered, "After the promotion, it will attract more attention, which may not be a good thing. The best way is to stay in a corner and develop quietly."
The Grand Elder of Wanhua Holy Land: "..."
“Okay, okay!”
"So you are this kind of clan leader."
“It’s really good!”
She was really convinced.
I really want to say: You are such a loser!
The implicit meaning of his words is that he wants the benefits, but does not want to take responsibility or contribute.
Where in the world can such a good thing come from?
"Well, it's just my humble opinion."
Lin Fan smiled awkwardly: "So... I hope you can give me a little face?"
"!!!"
"snort!"
The Great Elder snorted coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?!"
Lin Fan was numb.
I can only smile helplessly.
He really doesn't want to advance.
How good is a 'developing force'?
But he didn't expect that the Wanhua Holy Land would actually take the initiative to send people over, and it seemed that the Great Elder was not going to give this face.
But it’s not a big problem.
Although there is no benefit in advancing, it is not completely unacceptable...
Just when Lin Fan was thinking about changing his mindset and making some moves, the Great Elder suddenly waved his sleeves and said, "This elder has already investigated and found that the Lanyue Sect is in a mess. It does not meet the requirements for promotion to a second-rate sect at all."
"Failed to advance!"
"The sect's rank remains at third-rate."
"If you want to advance, you need to make major changes!"
"snort!"
After saying this, the Great Elder soared into the air and instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Lin Fan: “…”
"Hey?!"
He reacted.
Then he snickered: "This great elder is also a 'cute' person."
"But at this age, it feels a little wrong to describe her as cute."
"cough."
"Are you teaching me how to do things~?"
"What a pity, it wasn't from my mouth." The fellow muttered secretly: "Otherwise, you should give me an 'Additional Gold Card' so that I can have some fun, right?"
That day, afternoon.
There is news coming out from Wanhua Holy Land.
The Lanyue Sect did not pass the assessment, its internal situation was in a mess, and it failed to be promoted to a second-rate sect.
Soon, the news caused an uproar in the southwest region.
Almost all the monks had a lot of questions in their minds.
"The Lanyue Sect failed to advance to a second-rate sect?"
“How could this happen!?”
“It shouldn’t be like this!”
"The Huode Sect has already been merged into the Lanyue Sect. Logically speaking, isn't this a done deal?"
"Yeah, this can fail?!"
No one could figure it out.
Until... someone suddenly thought: "Could it be that the Lanyue Sect is actually cheating?"
"For example, their disciples are not that strong, or even the news about the battle with the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty was wrong? Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to fail in the promotion!"
"Don't tell me, maybe this is really possible!"
"But that's not right. What does Huo De Zong say?"
Still can’t figure it out!
No matter how they thought about it or discussed it, there was no conclusion and no one could explain it.
But~
Although it is impossible to "qualify" it, the "water" has already become turbid.
At least a considerable number of people believed it to be true, thinking that the Moon-Raising Sect was indeed nothing special, and that the battle was all fake news.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that he would fail even in getting promoted to the second rank?
This obviously doesn't make sense!
······
When the news reached Lin Fan's ears.
He almost laughed out loud.
"So, the 'Supplementary Gold Card' is here."
"It's really fun~"
He could naturally understand the meaning of Wanhua Holy Land making this news public.
This is clearly a way to "make things convenient" for oneself.
Aren't you a wretched person? Don't you want to be 'low-key' and pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?
Then let me do you a favor~
See what you can come up with.
"Great~"
"Then I feel relieved."
"Journey to the Western Regions, let's go~!"
······
It was a bit boring while traveling.
Lin Fan asked curiously, "In order to refine the body for Medicine Lady again, besides the Bodhi Fruit, do we need other materials?"
"I won't hide it from you, Master."
Xiao Ling'er pondered and said, "I have prepared most of the materials. Currently, I am still missing two 'main ingredients', one of which is the Bodhi fruit."
"Bodhi fruit is a 'magic medicine', extremely valuable, and of great benefit to the soul. It can help the teacher perfectly integrate the soul into the new body, and avoid any 'rejection reaction'."
"In addition to this, we also need the number one exotic fire in Xianwu Continent, the Crystal Flame."
"The greatest effect of the crystal flame is also to help the soul, and it has extremely powerful vitality and can refine a 'perfect body'."
“Of course, this perfect body does not mean flawless, divine body, etc., but it means that after it is refined, it can perfectly match with the residual soul and nourish the residual soul, allowing the residual soul to gradually recover into a complete divine soul.”
"After that, you can practice normally like your 'original body', and even ascend to the upper realms."
"oh?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan nodded slightly, his expression rather solemn.
This trip···
It’s not easy!
Bodhi fruit is the elixir of Mahayana Buddhism. What is Mahayana Buddhism?
Holy Land of the Western Regions!
It is impossible to get the Bodhi fruit, the most precious elixir of life, which only bears fruit once in tens of thousands of years, so it is naturally impossible to get it so easily.
As for the Crystal Flame...
It is naturally not easy to get the number one ranked strange fire.
Fortunately, all hope is not lost.
"On this trip, let's get the Bodhi fruit first." Lin Fan whispered.
"Thank you for your help, Sect Master Lin." Yao Lao appeared and expressed her gratitude.
"No need to be polite, we are all family."
"That···"
Medicine Grandma was touched and said, "How about we call each other fellow Taoists in the future?"
"Okay."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "One of us is Xiao Ling'er's teacher, and the other is the master. We are really 'fellow Taoists'."
"That's true."
Medicine Grandma was also laughing.
I'm just a little bit nervous.
This trip is for myself!
and···
The difficulty is too great.
In fact, she has privately said more than once that there is no need to pursue "perfection" and she would be satisfied as long as she could regain her physical body.
But Xiao Ling'er repeatedly stated that if she was going to do it, she had to do it to the best of her ability!
This touched her deeply.
but···
Can it be done?
She thought she had experienced so many ups and downs, right and wrong, that she no longer cared about these things, but now that she was really facing this matter, she found that she could not remain calm at all.
Like an innocent girl, she was full of anxiety.
······
Western Regions.
Although it is adjacent to the Southwestern Region, there are great differences in folkways, customs, style of cultivation, and even the cultivation system, especially the cultivation system.
In the Western Regions, the main focus is on "practicing Buddhism".
The so-called Buddhist practice is, in fact, a "belief system". While practicing Taoism, one absorbs the power of faith and improves oneself.
Although there are pure cultivators, they account for a very small proportion, and the cultivators in the Western Regions do not live well.
Because these Buddhist sects will try every possible means to harvest their faith and make them believe in a certain "big monk"~
For pure immortal cultivators, this is extremely bullshit.
I'm cultivating immortality well, and you want me to practice Buddhism with you, and worship and offer my faith every day, just to be ripped off by you?
Are you crazy?!
Therefore, cultivators who have the ability and connections will choose to develop in other regions. Even going to the Northern Region is more comfortable than going to the Western Region.
Lin Fan didn't know much about the belief system.
I just have a general idea that it is actually the Buddhist way.
There are many temples of all sizes throughout the Western Regions.
The strongest among them is Mahayana Buddhism, which is also known as the Holy Land of Buddhism. At the same time, it is also recognized as the "Holy Land of the Western Regions". It has been passed down for countless years and has an extremely amazing heritage.
The second is Theravada Buddhism.
The best of the best.
Then there are other Buddhists...
There are conflicts and "struggles" between Buddhism.
What they are fighting for is territory, believers, and incense.
Of course, there is also competition for resources.
But relatively speaking, it does not value other external resources as much as other regions.
The resource they value most, after all, is population.
Enter the Western Regions.
The obviously different folk customs and "flavor" made Lin Fan and Xiao Ling'er feel a little uncomfortable. However, since Medicine Grandma had been here many times before her death, she was quite familiar with it.
Under her guidance, the two of them didn't encounter any trouble.
Without any conflict or fight with anyone, they arrived at the area near Mahayana Buddhism.
From afar, golden Buddha light is hanging down from the sky!
The endless classic Buddhist buildings are reflected with brilliant golden light, like a "Buddhist wonderland".
From time to time, Buddhist symbols are flying around, making it look like the legendary Buddhist kingdom.
Solemn, solemn and sacred.
Even if you are not a Buddhist, one look at it can make you feel peaceful and even attracted, unable to look away for a long time.
It even gives people an urge to "throw themselves into" it.
"Be careful, remember to keep calm!"
At this moment, Yao Lao reminded: "The Buddha's light of Mahayana Buddhism is a bit strange. It seems to have a power to bewitch people, like... a different kind of charm?"
"It is said that a ninth-level cultivator approached and was 'bewitched' just because he looked at her a few more times. He knelt outside the Mahayana Buddhist temple and asked to join the sect."
"Although I don't know whether this rumor is true or not, it is true that many young monks were 'attracted' by the Buddha's light and converted to Buddhism..."
“Therefore, remember to stick to your heart and never let your mind get confused.”
Xiao Linger's expression changed slightly, and she nodded heavily: "Students should remember this!"
"Buddhism..." Lin Fan retracted his gaze, his eyes flickering slightly.
actually···
After all, he didn't have a good impression of Buddhism.
After all, it is an imported religion, and what was Buddhism in ancient times? It was the existence of big landlords who harvested and exploited the people.
And, strangely enough~
Buddhists don't eat meat, but those big monks, even Buddha statues, are almost all fat with big ears and fat bodies~~~
In short, Lin Fan felt it was quite fake.
Hardly a good impression.
As for modern Buddhism...
Not to mention that.
It's not that we would generalize them all, but everyone knows what most of them are like, so it's better not to talk about them.
And now it seems that this Western Mahayana Buddhism is not that interesting.
The Buddha's light seems sacred, but in fact, it is always misleading people.
Tsk.
"Let's go and visit."
“I don’t know if this connection in Mahayana Buddhism can be of any use to me.”
After a brief look, Lin Fan led Xiao Ling'er to one of the mountain gates of Mahayana Buddhism. Yao Lao naturally hid again and even used several secret methods.
Mahayana Buddhism is a holy place after all!
It's always better to be careful.
······
"Two donors, would you like to come in and worship the Buddha?"
At the foot of the mountain gate, two young monks smiled and politely bowed and asked questions to Lin Fan and the other man.
"No."
Lin Fan shook his head and chuckled, "Two young masters, we came from the southwest region to look for someone."
"Would you be so kind as to inform me?"
"Looking for someone?"
The two of them remained calm, but the expectation in their eyes quietly turned into disgust: "This is a peaceful place for Buddhism, please forgive me."
"Don't you want to ask who I'm looking for?"
Lin Fan pretended not to see anything.
"Donor, I have already said that Buddhism is a pure land."
"Besides, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and my fellow teachers and brothers are all in retreat and will not be seeing guests."
Lin Fan: “…”
Xiao Ling'er looked at Lin Fan and blinked.
Lin Fan remained calm and took out a handful of Yuanshi...
"!"
The two young monks immediately looked around and saw that there was no one around, so they quickly took it and said, "You can go in, but you must not walk around, and you must come out within half an hour!"
Lin Fan remained calm as he took out another handful of Yuan Stones, but the amount was more than double that of the last time.
The two little monks looked around again, and after making sure that no one had noticed, they put it away immediately.
The little monk on the left said, "Please, benefactor, just leave before the temples close."
A volume of divine consciousness~
A pile of Yuanshi flew out.
The two little monks' eyes widened.
He quickly put it away and said excitedly: "Donor, distinguished guest! Distinguished guest, who are you looking for? I will report it to you immediately."
"Gatling Bodhisattva."
"who?!"
The two little monks were so shocked that they were numb.
"Don't you know who Gatlin Bodhisattva is?"
"That is the highest-ranking Bodhisattva in our religion, even higher than those high-ranking Buddhas. We are just little novice monks. How can we be worthy of reporting to you?"
"No, no, absolutely not."
This time, Lin Fan did not take out any Yuanshi.
But he took out a jade bottle and opened the seal.
The two young monks used their spiritual sense to look inside...
"hiss!"
It was just a moment, and both of them gasped.
Then, he quickly hid it.
"Ahem~!"
"Well what?"
One of the young monks said, "Dear guest, please follow me."
"Please inform Gatlin Bodhisattva that I do not have the qualifications nor the ability to do this, but I know where Gatlin Bodhisattva is and can lead you there."
"As for the future... I can't help you much. You can only rely on yourself."
"good."
Lin Fan nodded.
He winked at Xiao Ling'er and said, "Your medicine is still the best."
Xiao Ling'er was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But Lin Fan said, "But it also proves from the side that I was right. Where there are people, there is a world of martial arts. The world of Mahayana Buddhism... is no different from other places."
“It may even be darker.”
······
Although the young monk has a low status and weak ability, he really does his job after receiving the benefits.
Taking Lin Fan with him, they traveled throughout the Mahayana Buddhism, avoiding the eyes and ears of others along the way, and going deeper and deeper, and soon they were far away from the areas that pilgrims could enter.
Finally, he stopped outside a Buddhist temple that looked quite "rough".
"Look, over there, the Buddhist temple that has been repaired the most times is the residence of Gatlin Bodhisattva."
"If you want to find Gatlin Bodhisattva, go there to find him."
"But you can't say that I brought you here."
"Otherwise, both you and I will have to bear the consequences."
After all, I received benefits.
The young novice monk also has to think about himself and must be 'warned'.
"I know this very well."
Lin Fan waved his hands to indicate that he understood.
Seeing this, the young monk hurriedly left and returned the same way.
Lin Fan held his head high and walked towards the Buddhist temple.
Xiao Ling'er lagged behind by half a step and was extremely alert.
······
In front of the Buddhist temple.
Lin Fan looked at it for a moment, but did not use his spiritual sense to investigate.
After all, it was Mahayana Buddhism, which was too unfamiliar. Who knew how many people were inside? If there were many people, or even if some passionate scene was going on...
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for you to use your spiritual sense to scan around randomly?
Clearing his throat, Lin Fan said, "Excuse me, is Gatling Bodhisattva here?"
Inside the Buddhist temple.
Gatlin Bodhisattva is sleeping soundly.
The snoring was deafening.
The centipede-like "scar" on his face trembled from time to time, looking extremely scary.
Suddenly, he turned over and sat up.
"Who disturbed my sweet dreams?!"
"Want to get spanked?!"
He was furious. He scanned with his spiritual sense and found Lin Fan and the other two. He appeared in front of them with a "flash" and walked slowly around them: "Who are you?"
"I'm sure I don't know him."
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Today, if you can't explain it, both of you will have to clean the toilet for me!"
The first thing he said was 'Laozi'.
The words were full of "domineering" meaning, and there was a very strong sense of Jianghu mixed in. When Lin Fan heard it, his face was strange, and there was always a sense of familiarity...
For a moment, I couldn't remember.
Xiao Ling'er was even more nervous.
Although Gatling Bodhisattva did not reveal the aura of an extremely powerful person, just standing there made people extremely nervous and difficult to calm down.
Especially his face, which looked even more hideous due to the scars, was even more shocking.
"I am so presumptuous to come here, I hope the Buddha will forgive me."
Lin Fan bowed and said, "I am Lin Fan, the leader of the Lanyue Sect in the Southwest Region, and she is my disciple Xiao Ling'er..."
"oh?!"
Gatlin Bodhisattva's eyes lit up, and his morning grumpiness instantly dissipated. He suddenly stepped forward, hugged Lin Fan's neck, and said, "Lanyue Sect's Sect Master Lin Fan?!"
"That's me."
"ha!"
"You are the one who sent someone to tell me something, and you are also called Lord Barrett, right?"
"There is another man-made Sun Fist monk?"
"Where?"
"You?"
He looked at Xiao Ling'er.
Xiao Ling'er suddenly got goose bumps all over her body.
Like facing gods and demons!
"No~"
Gatlin Bodhisattva shook his head slowly and said, "I heard that the Artificial Sun Fist layman is a man and you are a woman. That's not right."
He did not look away, and no longer looked at Xiao Ling'er. He put his arm around Lin Fan's shoulder and said, "After waiting for so many years, I finally met a fellow villager, but I have to make sure that you didn't lie to me."
"Where's your gun?"
"Take it out and let me see it."
Lin Fan took out the Barrett without hesitation.
Before he could even open his mouth, he felt his hands were empty.
At some point, Barrett appeared in the hands of Gatling Bodhisattva.
He caressed the gun gently, as if he was caressing his lover, his eyes full of 'pure love', and then he gently stroked the gun. That expression and that focused look made Lin Fan couldn't help but take a few steps back.
this···
It's a bit too much!
This is what it means to love a gun as much as you love your wife!
"Nice gun."
Fortunately, Gatling Bodhisattva was a senior master after all, and he quickly calmed down, stroked the gun, and said: "It is a growth-type magic weapon, and has reached the level of a Taoist soldier. Unfortunately... it is not enough."
"Besides, it means you have no soul!"
He pointed to the 'bolt' position of the original Barrett and shook his head: "Where is the bolt?"
"I designed it myself. It can automatically reload ammunition."
Lin Fan explained: "There is no need to pull the bolt, so it is hidden, which further increases the airtightness and power."
"It's OK, but it just has no soul."
"Pulling the bolt is the soul of Barrett."
"You don't have a big bolt, so I can't use it."
Gatling Bodhisattva threw the Barrett back to Lin Fan and said, "Come on, use maximum power. Give me a shot and let me feel it."
Xiao Linger: “…”
She really wanted to say that Barrett was very powerful!
Those at the eighth level will be injured, and if they are caught off guard, they may be killed!
But on second thought, this...
But the boss among bosses said nothing.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all.
He took out the bullets directly and poured all his energy into the Artificial Sun Fist. Then he 'charged' the Artificial Sun Fist and aimed at the Gatling Bodhisattva.
The latter couldn't help but murmur.
"Don't tell me."
"Even with my current strength, facing this dark cave entrance and this thing, I feel a little scared."
"Well, don't listen to my mumbling."
"Come on, fire."
"Let me feel it and see how far you latecomers can go!"
"Then I am offended."
Lin Fan knew that Gatling was very strong, and since it was the other party's request, why was there any hesitation?
Hesitation is actually a disrespect to others.
boom!!!
After pulling the trigger, Lin Fan's arms were immediately covered with cracks, the Barrett shook violently, and the bullet flew out of the gun, instantly hitting the Gatling Buddha.
Fires flying everywhere!
Gatling was caught off guard and was hit directly!
The shock wave spread rapidly.
The high temperature spread in an instant.
It was not until this moment that the roar of the explosion was 'slowly' heard.
"ah?!"
A monk passing by was shocked when he saw this, and dropped the sutra in his hand: "Bodhisattva!!!"
"How dare you, little scoundrel?!"
That is right now.
The flames flashed back, the high temperature dissipated, and the shock wave flowed back...
Everything seemed to have never happened.
Xiao Ling'er was dumbfounded and shocked.
Medicine Grandma couldn't help but exclaimed: "The ninth realm, and he must be the best in the ninth realm!!!"
Gatling Bodhisattva frowned slightly, looked at the monk confused, and said angrily: "What are you crying and howling about?"
"What a disgrace!"
"Pick up the scriptures, pick up the scriptures!!!"
