Li Changan has never had a good impression of monks. The monks he had seen in his previous life were all liars who did not work and were lazy and loved to cheat and defraud.
After traveling to this world, he had a new understanding of monks. In this world, monks were also a type of spiritual practice. They practiced Buddhist thoughts, cultivated Buddhist teachings, and promoted Buddhist principles, claiming to save all living beings. However, their nature was the same as the monks he knew in his previous life: they simply exploited the faith of believers.
It’s just that most of the monks in this world are in Xizhou. The Xiaoxitian Leiyin Temple in Xizhou is known as one of the most powerful sects in the cultivation world, and is not inferior to the Tianfu and Difu in Zhongzhou.
However, Beizhou has always used kendo as its main practice system, so there are few traces of Buddhists. Li Changan did not expect to meet a monk here.
No, it's two monks.
Behind the old monk, there was a bald boy with a handsome face, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked fair and clean, but when Li Changan thought about the old man and the boy wanting to enter the Demon Garden without paying, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.
The old monk remained unmoved, his expression not changing in the slightest. "Buddhism emphasizes good karma. The Buddha once said, 'There is only one true nature, but there are many paths to enlightenment.' Since my disciple and I have traveled to the Taixuan Sect and witnessed this meeting at the holy land, would you mind forging this good karma, benefactor Li?"
Li Changan sneered, "If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will save you on behalf of the Buddha!"
The corner of the old monk's mouth twitched slightly.
"Donor, it's not that I don't want to pay, I'm simply penniless. As for the IOU, once we leave the Demon Garden, my master and I will travel the world and head to the Western Paradise. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to repay the money, so I just lied..."
"Haha, that sounds like something human would say."
Li Changan glanced at the old and young monks, "Aren't you monks from Beizhou?"
The old monk nodded and said, "I am the head monk of the White Dragon Temple in the Western Heaven. I travel the world to spread the Dharma. This is my new disciple from the Northern Continent. His name is Xuanzang. We were originally planning to return to the Western Heaven, but the Holy Land Meeting has just begun. I wanted to find an opportunity for my disciple."
Xuanzang?
Li Changan was startled. "Tang Monk? I'm wondering if you're here to look for my Sun Wukong?"
The little monk looked up blankly, and several question marks flashed over his head.
Li Changan was a little uneasy. The reason why he changed the names of his disciples from Jiufeng to some mythological figures from his previous life was entirely out of sentiment. Whether it was Xingtian or Houyi, they could remind him at any time of a world that was gradually moving away.
When he first learned that there was a heavenly king named Li Jing at the North Gate of Heaven, he was already frightened, and now there is another Xuanzang.
I wonder if there is a BUG somewhere?
Li Changan's expression softened instantly. "May I ask your Dharma name, Master? That's not important. Since it's Master Xuanzang who's here, how can I not welcome him?"
The old monk was surprised. Didn't this donor just want to save his soul? How could his expression change faster than his?
"Haha, actually, I've always thought charging an entrance fee is not a good idea, but it's the rule set by our head monk after all, so I have no choice but to abide by it." Li Changan touched the little monk's smooth forehead affectionately, "Since you are Master Xuanzang, I certainly cannot charge you any money. Just think of it as me, Li Changan, paying for you out of my own pocket."
Zhou Yuan, who was standing next to him, turned away with a dark face.
"Come, come, two masters, have a safe journey!"
"Hey, Master, you haven't told me your Dharma name yet?"
The old monk paused for a moment.
Didn’t you just say it’s not important?
Does this kid really want to break my mentality?
"My dharma name is Juewang."
Despair? ?
Li Changan: "???"
After the old and young monks entered the Demon Garden, the remaining hundred or so people turned around and left with no interest, leaving only the disciples of Taixuan Sect.
"Brother Zhou Yuan, who are you planning to send to the Demon Garden?"
Zhou Yuan waved his hand, and a group of Taixuan disciples, about eight or nine in number, came over from a distance.
"Zhao Zhuo from Taixuan Peak is now at the peak of Guiyuan, barely within the limits of the Demon Garden's restrictions. Let him lead the team."
Zhao Zhuo is the third-generation disciple of Taixuan Peak and Zhou Yuan's eldest disciple. He is talented and very hardworking. Li Changan has heard of him.
With the disciples of Taixuan Peak leading the way, several people from other peaks also came out one after another. Most of them were at the Guiyuan Realm, and there were also disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but not many in number. There were a total of fifty or sixty people, and they began to walk towards the entrance of the Demon Garden.
"Zhao Zhuo, winning the meeting trial is certainly good, but safety is the most important thing. You must take care of the safety of every Taixuan disciple."
Zhao Zhuo bowed and said yes.
Li Changan weighed the Qiankun bag in his arms, turned around and left. Suddenly, he glanced over and saw a small figure rushing from a distance, and disappeared into the entrance of the Demon Garden with a swish.
"Nezha?"
Li Changan's face changed drastically, "What are you doing? Come back here!"
Nezha bared his teeth and waved his hand, then disappeared into the light gate at the entrance with a swish. Li Changan's steps forward were suddenly suspended in mid-air.
“Damn it!”
Nezha had mentioned before that she wanted to attend the meeting in the holy land, but Li Changan felt that running around for life and death in the Demon Garden was far less comfortable than practicing in the Ninth Peak. The most important thing was that this place was safe enough.
Nezha was the disciple he brought into the Ninth Peak. Like his other junior brothers and sisters, no matter how well they cultivated, he at least didn't want Nezha to be in danger.
But he didn't expect that this girl would sneak out of the Ninth Peak and sneak into the Demon Garden when he wasn't paying attention, which was completely beyond his expectations.
