"I've successfully joined the Xiangtan Temple..."
Lin Feng closed the door, picked up the scripture, and walked a few steps to the clean and tidy bed: "It's only attracted some attention. To truly investigate the power behind Xiangtan Temple..."
The appearance of evil spirits at Xiangtan Temple was bound to attract attention. At this moment, Lü Dongbin and Zhong Kui had probably told Yuan Tiangang everything.
Correspondingly, the people behind Xiangtan Temple will inevitably be attracted by Xie Shengxie. Now it is equivalent to focusing everyone's attention on Xie Shengxie and Xiangtan Temple. They will naturally think and calculate that he also appeared in Xiangtan Temple, but they would never have imagined that he would sneak in in this way.
As he was thinking, Lin Feng opened the scripture in his hand, glanced through the text once, and then casually put it aside.
It's just another bunch of stuff praising how good Buddhism is, but only a tiny bit of it is actually useful, and most of it is just Taoist cultivation methods disguised in Buddhist garb.
Even if there really were techniques like Ghost Buddha, Xuan Yi wouldn't teach him them now.
If he had enough time, he could have gradually infiltrated the Buddhist order, but unfortunately he only had two days left.
Two days...
Lin Feng took a deep breath, opened the door again, glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, summoned the young monk waiting in another room, and led him to Xuan Yi's residence.
The two passed through a series of pavilions and, amidst various colors of Buddhist light, arrived at a relatively quiet and secluded courtyard.
"Amitabha..." A Buddhist chant echoed from the courtyard. Immediately afterward, a monk opened the courtyard gate, and Lin Feng, with his hands clasped together, walked towards Xuan Yi, who was sitting cross-legged beneath a Buddha statue in the small courtyard.
"Little Master Hei Shan, have you encountered some kind of doubt?" Xuan Yi turned around and looked at the silent Lin Feng, a growing curiosity in his heart. It didn't seem to be about the Ghost Buddha.
"Master Xuanyi, this humble monk has some questions..." Lin Feng said, bowing his head, subtly revealing a hint of sinister aura from his body.
"Seven Deaths and Seven Rebirths: Good and Evil Without Fixed Law (Forty-Two Chapters Sutra) (Part Three): Seven deaths and seven rebirths, severing desires and eliminating attachments, ten good deeds and ten evil deeds, karmic fire leading to Nirvana, cultivating the unfixed Bodhi mind, attaining the thirty-four Arhat positions, and enjoying eternal bliss!"
This evil martial art, which he had discarded in a corner, is now slowly flowing into his heart, gradually emanating an aura far exceeding that of the original technique.
"you!"
With a snap, Xuan Yi slammed the door shut: "How do you know such a technique?"
"On my journey, I once came across a temple deep in the mountains, and found this Buddhist scripture under the Buddha statue inside," Lin Feng said, then fully revealed the seven deaths and seven lives, good and evil, and their unpredictable nature to the other party.
"Wait, don't show me! I don't want to see it!!" Xuan Yi swatted away what Lin Feng was showing him, and after remembering some things, his mind was buzzing.
"master?"
Lin Feng glanced at it curiously, then said, "Master, this cultivation technique is extremely similar to the profound principles of Buddhism. I have only studied it briefly and have not focused on cultivating it."
"I..." Xuan Yi completely lost his previous composure. Just as he was about to say a few words calmly, he immediately remembered that Xie Shengxie was sitting above him, and his composure completely vanished: "You should put it away first..."
"yes."
Lin Feng obediently stopped displaying his martial arts technique.
After a moment, Xuan Yi's heart finally calmed down, but he still spoke in a trembling voice: "You really didn't cultivate any of the techniques?"
"I only comprehended the Buddhist teachings within it..." Lin Feng hesitated before saying, "If it weren't for these Buddhist teachings, this humble monk wouldn't have been able to awaken this pagoda."
Hiss... This isn't cultivation? This isn't cultivation? Is this even Buddhist teachings??
"Amitabha..." Xuan Yi frantically suppressed the urge to rush out the door and asked, word by word, "Does this pagoda incorporate the Buddhist teachings within your cultivation technique?"
“A part,” Lin Feng replied.
"So... what is the purpose of coming to Tanxiang Temple..."
"This humble monk has many questions about this cultivation method. For example, I sometimes understand the method of severing desires and eliminating love, and sometimes I don't..." Lin Feng lowered his head, waiting for the other party's instruction.
I don't understand... Hehehe, I don't understand. If you don't understand, just kill your dearest love, and you'll understand immediately!
Xuan Yi was well aware of the secret. Once this evil technique was mastered, it was considered complete. Once this kid took that step, there would be almost no obstacles left.
"Amitabha..."
Xuan Yi swallowed hard, and vaguely recalled some things. Despite his fear, he still remembered some of them.
This guy is probably deliberately trying to mess with them... It's too much of a coincidence!
Wait a minute, this guy might be a spy sent by the Bad Guys, using the appearance of Evil Begets Evil to test them... The previous times the Bad Guys sent people who practiced evil arts, they were all "swallowed" in the end.
“Amitabha… There are indeed records of related cultivation methods in Xiangtan Temple, but with such a method, Buddha has no time to attend to us. Only by firmly upholding our Buddhist faith can we continue on this path.” Xuan Yi said, looking at Lin Feng.
Who cares? Let this guy learn it. If he learns evil skills, he'll die because of them!
“Master, this humble monk is willing to go.” Lin Feng put his hands together and said, “This humble monk came to Tanxiang Temple to seek Buddha’s guidance, and will not disappoint the master’s expectations by giving up halfway.”
expect?
never mind...
Xuan Yi didn't say anything more, but stood up and said, "Come with me."
Now that he knows Lin Feng practices evil arts, he can no longer leave him in this clean place.
For a moment, Xuan Yi thought of Xie Shengxie above again. However, he also knew about Xie Shengxie's agreement with Buddhism. Now it seemed that this person was likely sent by the Bad People.
As for thinking more deeply, he was unaware of Lin Feng's existence.
As the two walked in, after passing through a huge mountain gate, the scenery suddenly changed, with an overwhelming and tangible Buddhist light appearing.
The Buddha's light was like a mist, enveloping and permeating everything around it, even giving the Buddha statues sitting on either side a strange texture.
"This is a place of ascetic practice for Buddhist monks. Anyone who enters but whose heart cannot set foot on the Buddhist path will never have the chance to leave." Xuan Yi asked, "Do you wish to continue?"
"This humble monk is willing to go!" Lin Feng readily agreed.
“Alright…” Xuan Yi then shone with Buddhist light, resisting the erosion of the surrounding mist and Buddhist light, leaving Lin Feng alone in the Buddhist light as he walked towards the unknown place ahead.
"Ma Mi Ma Mi Moo..."
The hollow chanting of sutras spread through the mist. Lin Feng moved his feet, and a twisting Buddha character flashed by.
Then he saw a huge monk with his back to him.
Before he could see clearly, Xuan Yi beside him quietly moved his feet and left first.
As they ventured deeper, all sorts of chanting monks appeared before them. Some sat like stone statues, others sat upside down on the mountainside, and still others leaned against each other, their faces completely bald, making it impossible to distinguish the front from the back of their heads.
But this was only the beginning. When they arrived at another mountain gate, a stone tablet appeared in front of them first.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas?"
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. The surface of the stele was incredibly smooth, bearing only the two characters "Ten Thousand Buddhas," but these two characters were formed by tens of thousands of Buddha heads twisted and protruding.
“Amitabha, this is the boundary marker of Wanfo Town.”
Xuan Yi spoke first and stepped forward.
Town boundary marker?
As Lin Feng followed, the matter of Huang Chao resurfaced in his mind. Was this town boundary marker... related to the one Huang Chao took from Gyeonggi Province?
