Chapter 554: Lay Disciples



"How do you know we're not meant to be together?"

Chen Xuan suddenly laughed.

However, the monk still said the same thing, Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian's six senses were not pure.

In short, he could see many worldly desires in the two of them.

"Yeah?"

Faced with the monk's words, Chen Xuan was not angry, but instead released a little of his pressure.

In an instant, the monk’s legs almost went limp from the pressure from Emperor Wu.

His eyes showed shock, and he said in a shocked tone, "Donor, are you two here to be lay disciples?"

The calmness and composure just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.

To put it bluntly, this monk also treats people differently based on their social status.

I didn’t know the strength of Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian just now, so I was very arrogant. Now that I know, I am as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost.

"Please inform the abbot and tell him that we two have come to the Buddhist world to be lay disciples. Please make sure Kutuo Temple accepts us."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, immediately restraining his pressure and not making things difficult for the little monk.

In fact, they can find a place to hide in the Buddhist world and develop slowly.

However, Chen Xuan knew clearly that whether it was the Three Thousand Continents or the Demon Realm, they would definitely find him at all costs.

With their means, as long as you are still in the Five Realms, even if you are hiding at the ends of the earth, they will find a way to find your hiding place.

So there is no other way. If you want to survive in this world, you still need someone to back you up.

Join the Buddhist community and become a lay disciple.

When something happens in the Buddhist world, lay disciples have to step in.

By the same token, when lay disciples are in trouble, the Buddhist world must also protect them.

"My two benefactors, please follow me to the main hall."

How dare this little monk neglect Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian? He immediately and respectfully invited the two to enter the Kutuo Temple, and then took them to a hall.

There was no one in the hall, but there were quite a few Buddha statues. Sitting in the center was the golden body of the Lord Buddha, and beside him were various Bodhisattvas.

Chen Xuan didn’t know what the Buddha’s name was, but it was definitely not Sakyamuni.

Chen Xuan couldn't remember the names of the Bodhisattva statues next to the Buddha, and he didn't know whether there was Guanyin Bodhisattva.

I don’t know much about Buddhism in this world.

In fact, if the demon world was not so hostile to humans, he would choose to go to the demon world instead of the Buddhist world.

Soon, the little monk came back.

This time, he brought a group of monks with him.

The three monks in the lead were actually Emperor Wu.

Of course, in the Buddhist world, he is not called Emperor Wu, but Arhat.

In fact, there are hundreds of Martial Emperors in the entire Kutuo Temple. Some of them stay in the temple to practice, while some of them travel far away as ascetics, measuring the earth with their feet, step by step.

Sometimes the things these Buddhists do are quite outrageous. For example, they want people to live a better life, but they don’t teach people how to live a better life. Instead, they pray to God for blessings.

For example, if the crops in the field are almost drying up, no matter whether it is the Martial Saint or the Martial Emperor, they only need to use magic power to move the clouds from other places over, and the next rain will solve the drought.

Because that’s what everyone in the Three Thousand Continents does. If God doesn’t give me rain, I will make it rain myself.

But the monks would not do this. They would choose to pray to God, hoping that it would rain soon.

For example, if there is no access to a certain place and a road is built, people will not thank the person who built the road, but will thank God and Buddha.

Of course, this is only the case for some monks and believers.

Ordinary people are all different, and the same goes for monks. Every monk has different thoughts and personalities.

Bodhisattvas have compassionate hearts, but some have hearts of stone.

"My two donors, are you going to become monks?"

The leader was an old monk with six scars on his forehead. His eyebrows were very long and white, and they hung down like hair.

The same thing happened to his white beard, which looked like a whisk.

He was wearing a cassock and holding a scepter in his hand. It seemed that the person who could hold this thing must be the abbot of the temple.

"Yes, Abbot, we two are here to become monks and want to become lay disciples."

Chen Xuan nodded. There was no need to hide anything, so he directly stated his purpose.

"Haha, two donors, it's not that easy to become my lay disciples."

The abbot smiled.

Chen Xuan felt that his smile was a bit cunning.

In fact, we all say that we are lay disciples, and we all know in our hearts that it is nothing more than that I am your thug and you are my umbrella, and we are in a cooperative relationship.

But what the abbot said was not that simple. What he meant was that if you want to be a lay disciple, you have to show your abilities.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan started counting his fingers.

Seeing him like this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

We were chatting happily, why did he suddenly snap his fingers?

Finally, Chen Xuan showed five fingers.

For a moment, everyone's face was confused, even Ye Xiaotian who was standing beside him was at a loss.

What does five fingers mean?

Chen Xuan smiled and explained: "We killed five Martial Emperors. Is this record enough?"

Abbot: “…”

He was speechless for a moment.

His original intention was to let Chen Xuan show his strength. As long as Chen Xuan showed his aura of a Martial Emperor, that would be enough.

And he is actually showing off his achievements here?

What does this have to do with anything?

He felt that Chen Xuan's train of thought was a bit strange.

"Well, the donor actually killed five people. It seems that he has committed a serious sin. It is time to turn back and become a Buddha by putting down the butcher knife."

"Amitabha, it seems that the donor really needs to become a lay disciple of my Buddhist sect, chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha's name every day to wash away the sins in his body."

The abbot was speechless, but he spoke the polite words very nicely.

Look, what he is saying now actually means directly agreeing that Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian can become lay disciples.

"Thank you for your teachings, Abbot. We will definitely practice well!"

Chen Xuan also learned to put his hands together.

Next, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held.

After all, to become a lay disciple, one must find a master.

Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian both had the same master, who was the abbot.

The host’s strength is at the level of Arhat Great Perfection.

In other words, it is the realm of the supreme Martial Emperor, the same as Chen Xuan is now.

Of course, if a fight really breaks out, he, as a master, will definitely not be as good as his apprentice Chen Xuan.

However, it doesn’t matter whether the master is strong in fighting or not. What matters is that he can give Chen Xuan the identity of a lay disciple.
