Chapter 41 Frenzy!
Zhong Yuan felt a little uncomfortable looking at the old monk Miaoguang's eyes.
Could this old monk have some other unusual fetish?
Just now, I saw him outside the main hall, speaking righteously and with a passionate and impassioned air, as if he were saying, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
I thought he was a proper Zen Buddhist monk who practiced what he preached.
but.
Now it seems that the old monk was really good at pretending!
However, it was thanks to his ability to pretend that he was able to succeed; otherwise, the people from Lingjiu Palace might have conducted a large-scale search and arrest operation at Shuanglin Temple.
Things wouldn't be as simple as they are now.
but.
Since the Venerable Master Miaoguang is so good at pretending.
He can't just admit it so easily.
Whether it's Dugu Xian or this old monk Miaoguang, they're both damn cunning.
He can't just be honest and agree to everything.
"I didn't quite understand what you just said, Master. I consider myself just an ordinary young man."
Zhong Yuan adopted an attitude that he was just an ordinary person.
Upon seeing this, Zen Master Miaoguang smiled instead.
"Young Master Zhong is so young and possesses such great power, yet he is still so humble. With such a mindset, he is indeed qualified to study the Heart King Sutra."
Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow.
This old monk is truly eloquent.
"Master, you flatter me. I'll take this Heart Sutra with me."
"If you fail in your cultivation, you will naturally return to your original state."
That's all.
Zhong Yuan then planned to take the "Heart King Sutra" and leave.
At this time.
The old monk Miaoguang said, "Young Master Zhong, the Heavenly Child Granny is not so easily fooled."
"Her easy retreat tonight was entirely a strategic retreat."
"The people from Lingjiu Palace are probably still waiting outside Shuanglin Temple."
"Young Master Zhong might as well stay at Shuanglin Temple for a few more days."
"Wait until the Dharma assembly is over before you leave."
Zhong Yuan, who had stood up, sat down again.
He looked at the Venerable Master Miaoguang and said somewhat seriously, "The Zen Master doesn't seem to be afraid of Lingjiu Palace."
"That old woman from Tianshan seemed like someone you shouldn't mess with."
The Venerable Master Miaoguang smiled faintly.
"If we were to ask who the most extraordinary and eccentric figures in the martial arts world of Zhejiang and Fujian have feared most in the last thirty years, it would probably be none other than the Child Granny of Tianshan."
Thirty years ago, there was a sect in Jianyang, Fujian, called the One-Word Wisdom Sword Sect.
"It is quite famous in Fujian. Its sect is known for its unique swordsmanship, and its signature technique is the 'Zhou Gong Sword'."
"At that time, not to mention Fujian, even in the Liangzhe region, few people could rival the leader of the Yizi Huijian Sect in swordsmanship."
"However, for some reason, the Yi Zi Hui Jian Sect offended Tian Shan Tong Lao. Overnight, all sixty-two members of the sect across three generations were killed, resulting in the extermination of the entire sect."
"This family annihilation case caused a great uproar on the outlaw trails in Zhejiang and Fujian at the time."
"From then on, all the martial arts masters in Zhejiang and Fujian who had some reputation and considerable wealth were gradually subdued by Tianshan Tonglao."
"These people have to pay a considerable amount of gold, silver, treasures, and rare specialties to Lingjiu Palace every year."
"For the past thirty years, without interruption, anyone who disobeys the orders of Lingjiu Palace will either die a violent death or have their entire family wiped out."
"That day, the Child Granny of Tianshan was extremely skilled in martial arts and used a unique hidden weapon to control those strange people in the martial arts world, making them wish they were dead."
"Although I am a Buddhist monk, I have not yet comprehended the cycle of life and death. To say that I am not afraid of Tianshan Tonglao would be a lie."
"But as long as I can protect Young Master Zhong, even if I die at the hands of Tianshan Child Granny, I will have no regrets."
When the Venerable Master Miaoguang said these words, his face was full of sincerity, and no one could see the slightest hint of falsehood in him.
Zhong Yuan was slightly taken aback, genuinely not understanding why the Venerable Master Miaoguang valued him so highly, despite being a complete stranger to the young master of the Ming Cult.
It seemed that the Venerable Master Miaoguang had seen through Zhong Yuan's confusion, or perhaps he wanted to help Zhong Yuan resolve his doubts.
He continued, "Young Master Zhong may not know what you mean to the Ming Cult and to us disciples of the Maitreya Sect."
"A person like Young Master Zhong is one in a hundred years!"
"The emergence of a prodigy like Young Master Zhong in the Ming Cult is a blessing for our Ming Cult, and also a blessing for the disciples of our Maitreya Sect!"
"Since the late Tang Dynasty, the Ming Cult has been passed down for several generations. It has been more than a hundred years before a person with unparalleled talent like Young Master Zhong appeared."
As the saying goes, "Times create heroes, and heroes are also made in their time."
"Whether it is a martial arts sect or an imperial dynasty, if it wants to rise to prominence, it must be led by a person with unparalleled talent in order to leave a lasting mark on the world."
"For example, the reason why Shaolin Temple has been able to survive to this day and become the leader of the martial arts world in the north is because Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, was so accomplished in martial arts that he left Shaolin Temple with many martial arts traditions and Buddhist secrets."
"Take the Song Dynasty for example. If Zhao Kuangyin hadn't used his fists and a dragon-patterned staff to conquer the magnificent land of the Song Dynasty, how could there be the Song Dynasty we know today?"
"Since the late Tang Dynasty, many outstanding talents have emerged in the martial arts world, each leading the way in their own way."
"The Song Dynasty had Zhao Kuangyin, and Dali had Duan Siping!"
"They all mastered unparalleled martial arts through their individual talents, and then used martial arts as a foundation to gather followers and establish their own kingdoms."
"The Ming Cult in the Central Plains has always upheld the doctrine of 'doing good and eliminating evil, and treating all beings equally,' and has always wanted to save the common people from suffering, only because there are no figures like Zhao Kuangyin and Duan Siping."
"Just now I was lost in the martial world!"
"Since the second leader of the Ming Cult, no one has been able to simultaneously master the Heart King Sutra and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth."
"Now that the Ming Cult has produced a peerless genius like Young Master Zhong, this is an opportunity for the Ming Cult, and also an opportunity for the Maitreya Sect!"
"At such a young age, Young Master Zhong has already cultivated the form of invisible sword energy. Given time, even if he cannot cultivate both the Heart King Scripture and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to a high level at the same time, his martial arts cultivation will surely far surpass that of the previous Ming Cult leaders."
"At that time, the Ming Cult will surely undergo a tremendous transformation."
"Even if we overthrow the Song Dynasty and establish a new one, it's not impossible that we have a chance."
At this point, the Venerable Master Miaoguang's eyes were filled with fervor, like those of a fanatical believer, as he looked at Zhongyuan.
Zhong Yuan was greatly surprised to see the old monk Miaoguang's fanatical demeanor. He truly hadn't expected that he would be so important in the old monk's eyes.
but.
Zhong Yuan was not moved by the words of the Venerable Miaoguang.
He only asked one question.
"If one day the Ming Cult truly manages to change the world, what would the Maitreya Sect want?"
huh~~~
These words were spoken.
This calmed down the somewhat agitated old monk, Miaoguang.
The old monk Miaoguang gave Zhongyuan an approving look, and then he said slowly.
"If the world changes hands, this humble monk only hopes that Shuanglin Temple can regain the glory of the time of Master Fu!"
