Chapter 45 – When a friend comes from afar, how delightful
"Wuzhi Buddha, long time no see, are you also going to the Dao Sect?"
"Master Wang Bian, this humble monk is going to the Immortal Artifact Appreciation Conference to broaden his horizons."
The little monk and the scholar greeted each other, obviously they had known each other for a long time.
Upon hearing this, the burly men lost all their desire for revenge. Even the onlooking passengers unconsciously straightened their attitudes, not wanting to appear too casual in front of these two.@@novelbin@@
It is said that Wuzhi Buddha is the reincarnation of Buddha. Upon his birth, he transformed a small town into a Buddhist land. Even his parents worshipped him and converted to Buddhism, something he himself couldn't control. Upon hearing this, the old Buddha Sumi immediately came and took Wuzhi as his closed-door disciple, designating him as the Buddha's son.
It is precisely because he is the reincarnation of Buddha that his cultivation speed is so fast. At the age of fourteen, he is already an Elemental Infant cultivator, breaking the record for the youngest Elemental Infant.
Jiang Li hadn't even crossed over when he was fourteen.
The scholar Wang Bian is a wandering scholar of the Confucian Sect. Although he is not old, he is already the national teacher of seven small countries. These seven small countries have become countries of gentlemen due to the teachings of Confucian benevolence, where doors are not closed at night and lost items are not picked up on the road.
Even Divine Transformation cultivators have to consult him on Confucian issues.
"Is Wuzhi Buddha really the reincarnation of Buddha?" Goddess Jing Xin asked curiously. She had heard the legend of Wuzhi Buddha and had asked the old monk Sumi in person, but the old monk just laughed and laughed without saying a word.
Usually, he would at least use the phrase "Buddha said it cannot be said" to appease her!
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't beat him, she would have pried his mouth open!
Not just anyone who goes to the Western Paradise can be called a Buddha. Only those with profound Buddhist teachings and a piece of Buddhist land in the Immortal World can be called Buddha.
Jiang Li looked strange: "Is this what you care about?"
"What else should I care about?" Goddess Jing Xin felt baffled.
"He might be your grandmaster."
"???"
"Your master, Daoist Qingyu, likes him. Didn't you know?"
"???"
Seeing that Goddess Jing Xin couldn't accept this news for a while, Jiang Li seriously answered her question.
"I don't know, I'm not familiar with reincarnation."
Jiang Li really didn't understand reincarnation. He had lived for five hundred years and still hadn't figured out whether he had crossed over or awakened his past life memories.
"But the old Buddha Sumi said that Wuzhi Buddha's Buddha-nature is even better than his. He intends to let Wuzhi Buddha become a candidate for the People's Emperor and compete for the position of People's Emperor."
"Moreover, whether he is the reincarnation of Buddha or not, I can confirm that this little monk was an extremely powerful person in his previous life."
Jiang Li squinted at Wuzhi Buddha.
"What did you see?"
Goddess Jing Xin knew that Jiang Li had a deep understanding of souls.
"A soul that doesn't match his age."
In Jiang Li's eyes, Wuzhi Buddha's soul was extraordinarily strong and resilient. Although it was still an Elemental Infant soul, it bore the traces of countless tribulations. This was not something a fourteen-year-old monk should have.
Ordinary people reincarnate, and the traces of their souls are completely wiped out, becoming clean and new. Jiang Li couldn't tell who they were in their previous lives.
But Wuzhi Buddha's soul was so resilient that even reincarnation couldn't erase the traces on it. It could only be that he was too powerful in his previous life, which affected this life.
As for whether he was Buddha in his previous life, who knows.
"We're about to pass through the Hakutaku Dynasty, everyone be careful!"
The ship's captain shouted loudly, making the guards on the flying boat stay alert.
In fact, Jiang Li could see clearly that the captain usually spoke to the guards, but now there were a Buddha's son and a Confucian scholar on the flying boat, it was obviously meant for these two.
Before he could finish speaking, a hawk's cry came from below the flying boat, making the passengers shudder.
The strongest guard on the flying boat was a Golden Elixir peak cultivator. When he heard this hawk's cry, his hair stood on end!
An Elemental Infant hawk demon!
Elemental Infant cultivators indeed can't fly, but bird demons are an exception!
The guard cursed in his heart. Usually, there were only a few Foundation Establishment little hawks causing trouble, at most a Golden Elixir hawk demon. What the hell, was this little monk too attractive, attracting the hawk demon old monster?
"The Hakutaku Dynasty, also known as the Bandit Dynasty, really lives up to its name. I've learned something new today."
Even Goddess Jing Xin, who seldom involved herself in worldly affairs, had heard of the Hakutaku Dynasty's nickname.
"There's no way around it. The Hakutaku Emperor has done her best. The fact that the country hasn't disintegrated is already a testament to her ability. Who can blame her for being a Hakutaku-Kylin hybrid, unable to suppress the eight great vassal kings." Jiang Li was also helpless about the nickname of the Hakutaku Dynasty.
The current Hakutaku Emperor is a hybrid of Hakutaku and Kylin, and she looks like a white Kylin. This is simply a joke for the Hakutaku Dynasty. Are they supposed to accept a Hakutaku Emperor who looks like a Kylin?
"Beasts only recognize bloodline. If the bloodline is not pure, they won't recognize this Hakutaku Emperor, and the Hakutaku Emperor won't be able to use the national fortune."
Jiang Li had met the Hakutaku Emperor and thought that the white Kylin was quite handsome. He didn't quite understand the beasts' thinking.
"The Hakutaku Emperor is only at the Unity stage, and the eight demon kings are also at the Unity stage. She's not me, who can fight eight by herself. The eight demon kings don't accept the Hakutaku Emperor, each carving out a piece of territory, whether they listen to orders or announcements depends on their mood."
"The Hakutaku Dynasty is made up of beasts, and the order is the worst. Now that the eight kings are separatist, it's not surprising that it has become a den of bandits."
However, it is precisely because the order of the beasts is chaotic that human cultivators often run to the Hakutaku Dynasty to practice. Killing beasts also makes them feel justified.The eagle demon revealed itself, its wings spanning a full thirty feet, the edges faintly gilded, a testament to its noble lineage. It swooped down towards the pile of spirit stones being used as fuel.
This pile of spirit stones was worth more than the flying boat itself!
Buddhist disciple Wu Zhi and scholar Wang Bian acted simultaneously, repelling the eagle demon. If it weren't for the demon's ability to fly, it would have been captured by the two long ago!
"Eagle, lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, please stop."
"Eagle Lord, burning, killing and looting are not the acts of a gentleman."
The eagle demon turned a deaf ear to their persuasion, even contemplating spitting at them.
Both sighed at the same time. Their teachings and enlightenment were only effective on those below the Golden Elixir stage, and were utterly useless against this Elemental Infant eagle demon.
The little monk took out the Buddhist treasure, the Brahma Tower, from his bosom and fiercely smashed it towards the eagle demon.
This purple Brahma Tower, no larger than a palm, was as heavy as the sun and the moon. The eagle demon was grazed by it and was hit so hard that it vomited blood. Its wings lost their strength and it fell straight to the ground.
Wang Bian threw out a character note, on which was written the word "Ding" (freeze). As soon as it touched the eagle demon, it immobilized it and obediently brought it back to the flying boat under the note's guidance.
The eagle demon was dazed by this sudden turn of events and was captured before it could react.
"Using force is not conducive to one's state of mind," Wang Bian said somewhat reluctantly, causing the eagle demon to almost burst into tears. Then don't use force!
This novel is available on ".
Monk Wu Zhi was also in a dilemma: "Yes, yes, but what can we do if the other party doesn't listen to persuasion?"
"Persuade him again?"
"Okay."
So the two placed the immobilized eagle demon in front of them, one chanting sutras on the left and the other preaching benevolence on the right.
Buddhist scriptures entered the left ear and were about to exit from the right ear, only to be blocked by the principles of benevolence coming in from the right ear.
The eagle demon's mind was now filled with "The gentleman says Prajna Paramita" and "When a friend comes from afar, how delightful".
It was full of regret, deep regret.
What do you think?
