C147 An Eminent Buddhist Monk
After knowing the identities of Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia, the trace of greed in Hsiao Mumei and Tao Lian's eyes did not escape Qi Zhuohao's notice. He knew that Hsiao Mumei and Tao Lian were eyeing him and Nan Yudia!
"Yudia, we will reach that village not far ahead. Later, we should be more careful!"
Two Horned Horse flew on the official road, bringing up rolling smoke and dust. On the horse, Nan Yudia heard Qi Zhuohao's instructions and quickly replied, "En, I wonder if that village still exists? Is our guess correct?"
After more than two years, it was hard to say whether the houses and buildings in that village still existed or not. One should know that when Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia entered the village, the villagers in the village had already been killed by that ghost cultivator.
"Why do you care about this? When we get there, we will naturally know." As soon as Qi Zhuohao finished his words, the horsewhip lightly whipped the Horned Horse's butt. The Horned Horse immediately flew forward with even more effort, and very quickly, it left Nan Yudia behind.
From afar, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia could already see that the village's houses were still there. However, they were all rotten to the core. However, there was actually a house in the middle of the village that had white smoke rising in the air. Their hearts were filled with questions.
"Could it be that someone has moved into this village?"
Nan Yudia asked in surprise. All the villagers in the village had died. That was the truth. How could someone live in such a remote village? The village was filled with Yin energy. Even the brave Meridian Vessel martial artists. They also did not dare to live here!
"Let's go and take a look. I hope that the people inside are staying here after passing by. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to find any clues about the Mengyin Mountain Branch." Qi Zhuohao had a solemn expression on his face. If there were long-term residents in the village... In that case, the people of Mengyin Mountain would never come to this village again in order to avoid being discovered.
Very quickly, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia arrived at the entrance of the village. The two of them tied the Horned Horse to a wooden stake at the entrance of the village and walked towards the house in the middle of the village with puzzled expressions.
The place where Qi Zhuohao and ___ passed by was desolate. Nowadays, weeds were growing everywhere in the village. Obviously, even passersby rarely came in. Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia relaxed a little because of this. The people inside... They must have stayed overnight on the road.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Qi Zhuohao and Yudia heard something knocking on wood. Qi Zhuohao immediately stopped and asked in surprise, "Yudia, can you hear what that sound is? Could it be that the monk is knocking on the wooden fish?"
"You are right. That is the sound of striking the wooden fish!" Nan Yudia nodded her head seriously. It was easy to distinguish the sound. In other words, there was one or a few monks living inside.
"Buddhist people?" Qi Zhuohao was very surprised. He had seen monks on earth before. But he had never seen a monk from Hongwu Continent. It was said that the Buddhist was also a Heart Cultivation expert. His strength was extremely terrifying. He really wanted to see it for himself.
"That's right. The sound produced by the wooden fish is faint and rhythmic. It seems like this monk isn't simple! Come, let's go in and take a look!" Nan Yudia replied and continued forward with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao hurriedly followed Nan Yudia's footsteps. Although Buddhist monks could save all living things, however, there were also some Buddhist monks who wore Buddhist kasaya. They were leaning on Buddhist staff, but they specialized in doing heartless things. He had to be on guard.
Soon, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia arrived at the door of the house where the wooden fish came from. Nan Yudia had just reached out her hand and knocked on the door when the sound of the wooden fish disappeared. Then the door slowly opened.
"Amitabha! Almsgivers, meeting is fate. This humble monk's Dharma name is Sorrow. This humble monk greets you!"
This was a bald monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes but looked very kind. He was middle-aged and wore a dark red kasaya. A string of purple-black beads hung on his chest. He held a black wooden fish in one hand and a wooden fish mallet in the other.
Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia's deduction was right. There really was a monk who was beating the wooden fish and chanting scriptures in this house!
The monk's tone was very polite. He bowed to Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia. This monk was truly an expert. His realm was at the seventh layer of Huayuan. Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were both very surprised!
"Great Master Beixin is too polite! I apologize for disturbing you. Forgive us for being rude!" Nan Yudia clasped her hands together and returned the bow. It seemed that she was very respectful to the people of Buddhism!
"No, no!" Great Master Beixin bowed again and stood up. He asked in surprise, "By the way, where did the two benefactors come from? Where are you going?"
Qi Zhuohao stood at the side without saying anything. All of Great Master Beixin's words and actions indicated that he was an eminent monk who had transcended all living things and pitied the world. However, Qi Zhuohao always felt that there was something wrong with this Great Master Beixin.
First, Qi Zhuohao and ___ had not knocked on the door yet, and their steps were very light. They should not have alarmed Great Master Beixin, so how did he know they were here? He was chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha, and there was also the sound of the wooden fish covering him. Could it be that Great Master Beixin was carrying a Spiritual Sense?
Secondly, Great Master Beixin's words and actions were extremely polite, but it was precisely because Great Master Beixin was too polite to them. This caused Qi Zhuohao to have doubts in his heart. No matter how kind the people of Buddhism were... And he wouldn't go up and say a lot of pleasantries. That would be hypocritical!
Qi Zhuohao was puzzled. Nan Yudia was the same. She remained calm and collected. With a serious expression, she replied, "Master, we came from Great Sun County and want to go to Thousand Stars County. It is getting late today and we are looking for a place to rest. Sorry to bother you, Master! By the way, Master, are you the only one in this village?"
Great Master Beixin nodded in realization and said," Replying benefactor, this place is a remote desolate village. This poor monk just arrived here this morning and saw that the desolate village was filled with resentment, so this poor monk stopped here to chant scriptures to cleanse the undead. "
"Oh right, Almsgivers, this poor monk just borrowed the original owner's utensils to cook a few vegetables. If you don't mind, you can come in and fill your stomachs!" Great Master Beixin changed the topic and made a path for them.
After hesitating for a moment, Nan Yudia nodded and said, "Thank you, Master. Please come in, Master!"
Great Master Beixin walked into the house with a calm expression. Nan Yudia glanced at Qi Zhuohao and followed him in.
In the house, the firewood burned very vigorously. In the middle of the house, on a small wooden table, there were five big broken bowls. In the bowls, there were steamed buns, vegetables, and other hot food. Although the food was light, it emitted a sweet scent.
Qi Zhuohao and Great Master Beixin sat beside the wooden table. Qi Zhuohao finally could not help asking, "Great Master Beixin, may I know which monastery you are cultivating in?"
Qi Zhuohao felt that something was wrong. The wooden fish had been ringing for a long time, but the food seemed to have just been cooked. Could it be that Great Master Beixin had a cloning technique that allowed him to continuously strike the wooden fish and cook at the same time?
Also, Great Master Beixin had said that he had just come to Desolate Village this morning, but this room seemed to have been occupied by someone for a long time. There was only Great Master Beixin in the village. In other words, Great Master Beixin seemed to be lying!
A Essence Incarnating Stage Buddhist monk was lying to two Spirit Accepting Stage warriors. Was there a need for that? Or did Great Master Beixin have some unspeakable purpose?
"Benefactor, this poor monk is a monk from the Thousand Star Myriad Buddha Temple with the word 'grief'. This poor monk had once made a great wish to travel all the desolate mountains and souls. Think about it, this poor monk hasn't returned to the Myriad Buddha Temple in five years."
Great Master Beixin said as if he had fallen into deep thought. Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao hurriedly stood up and bowed, "So Great Master Beixin is from the Myriad Buddha Temple. Forgive me, pardon me!"
Great Master Beixin recovered his senses and smiled. He said, "Almsgiver, you are too polite. Please take a seat! This poor monk is a monk. The world is my home. Where this poor monk came from is not important. Oh right. Almsgiver, may I know your names? "
Qi Zhuohao was secretly shocked. This Great Master Beixin's dharma was truly powerful. One was merciful, and the other was compassionate. If it was any other ordinary person, fortunately, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were both Heart Cultivation warriors. How powerful was their mental state? In addition, Qi Zhuohao had a Seven Stars Leafless Flower in his Martial Essence, which could keep him alert at all times. He would not be confused by it.
Just like Nan Yudia, Qi Zhuohao knew that there might be a problem with Great Master Beixin. He sat down respectfully. He said, "Junior Qi Tian, this is junior's friend, Nan Yu. Great Master Beixin's dharma was profound. The two of them admired him greatly."
Because he felt that there was something wrong with Great Master Beixin, Qi Zhuohao didn't dare to reveal his true identity. When he was outside, it was better to be careful!
" Almsgiver Qi, you are too serious. There is no difference in the Buddhist Dharma. It only depends on the heart of the cultivator, the heart. The Buddhist Dharma can measure all living things! Unintentional, the Buddhist Dharma is just a decoration! This poor monk's Buddhist Dharma and true heart are still far from enough!"
Great Master Beixin had a solemn expression, as if he was very dissatisfied with his Buddhist Dharma and state of mind!
Qi Zhuohao sighed with emotion in his heart. Great Master Beixin, who had such profound dharma, was not proud at all. The strength of his state of mind was admirable! He should not be a treacherous person. Could it be that they judged a gentleman's heart with a petty heart?
"Let's hope we are overthinking it!" Qi Zhuohao thought to himself. If Great Master Beixin really had a compassionate heart, he could edify a lot of people. On the contrary, Great Master Beixin would bring disaster to the people of Thousand Stars County!
It was rare to see an eminent monk like Great Master Beixin, who had a high realm, a deep Buddhist doctrine, and a strong mental state.
"Almsgivers, why aren't you eating yet? Could it be that you dislike the coarse tea and plain rice of a monk?"
Great Master Beixin asked, puzzled. Qi Zhuohao suddenly laughed. To show that she did not have that intention, Nan Yudia even more directly said, "What is the meaning of Great Master's words? In such a desolate village, it was already very good to have a meal to eat. Furthermore, although the food was light, it was full of fragrance. Although the master is a monk, his craftsmanship is really not ordinary! "
As she spoke, Nan Yudia casually picked up a steamed bun and gently took a bite. "En, as expected. Smelling the fragrance, it tastes even more fragrant. Great master, Ah Tian, you guys hurry up and eat. Otherwise, it will be gone in a while."
Great Master Beixin and Qi Zhuohao looked at each other and smiled. The two of them did not stand on ceremony and directly started to eat. Of course, compared to Qi Zhuohao wolfing down the food, Great Master Beixin could definitely be called gentle and refined.
The reason Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia dared to eat the food on the table was because they had Poison Avoiding Inner Pill. They were also testing Great Master Beixin. If Great Master Beixin had malicious intentions, he would probably poison the food!
The truth made Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia secretly sigh. There were no abnormalities in the food. They were overthinking it. Great Master Beixin was a merciful monk. That was right. If Great Master Beixin wanted to plot against them... Why did he need to do so?
One should know that with Great Master Beixin's cultivation of the seventh level of Huayuan and the power of the Heart Cultivation Method, how could Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia be a match for him? In the face of two Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator, did he need to use any means?
