Chapter 396 Three Minds, Twofold Truths, Two Kinds of Emptiness (1/2)
Fang Yanying only felt something was out of place because why would her martial uncle recite something before speaking out of a sudden?
After she heard this recitation, she saw a clear light rippled on the pure white snow on the house on the opposite side. There was a lucid snow lotus that bloomed on the white snow, there was a matchlessly handsome monk in white standing on it.
It turned out that Martial Uncle's recitation was a technique that exposed the monk in white who was eavesdropping using a secret body hiding technique. She was full of respect for Martial Uncle and was also very cautious and afraid of that person.
She prided herself on her profound swordcraft and would consider her spiritual sense to be brilliant. However, she actually could not even notice the tiny trace beforehand. Even now, with his whereabouts being exposed by Martial Uncle, she could not even find any abnormalities with it now that she really thought about it. If the monk in white wanted to take her life, it really came down to that split second.
In this vast world, she was too considered a formidable figure but she never thought there would be such a terrifying monk to be in the north. He was close to being on par with the eight Zen masters of the Buddhist sects.
The monk in white, whose whereabouts was exposed, was not embarrassed at all. His demeanor was graceful and he stood with all the magnificence of a snow lotus. He happily opened his mouth and said, ”All living creatures suffer, not even the celestials and buddhas are the exception. Only by learning patience, then there is a chance to reach the Other Side and see that Lingshan. Therefore what Benefactor Shen said is a little biased.”
Shen Lian said, ”I heard that if I travel three thousand miles from the Jinji Country, there is the Great Snow Mountain and on top of it is the Dipamkara Temple. You are from there, yes?”
The monk in white smiled, ”It is an honor and pride to have my temple's name to even enter Benefactor Shen's ears.”
Shen Lian simply replied, ”I originally needed to go the Dipamkara Temple.”
Even though the snow lotus under the monk in white's feet was only three feet, but the nine layers of Buddhist ray rippling around him filled the air with exotic fragrant, it fumigated Fang Yanying till the point of almost intoxication. After listening to Shen Lian's reply, his expression did not change but he softly said, ”Benefactor Shen has the riches of the Eastern Sea and a highly esteemed position. Not many in this world can come close. If you come to my temple, we are more than happy to sweep the mat and welcome you.”
His pleasant and courteous answer did not receive Shen Lian's kind words. Instead, Shen Lian coldly smiled, ”Why do I need to waste my breath with you. Once I reach the Dipamkara Temple and see your original form, then we will discuss Dao.”
As he was casually mentioning this, he gave out a punch. It was actually accompanied by limitless currents of spirit, the wild strength condensed into a streak and hatched the monk in white through the air. This punch was enough to crumble mountains and break the ground. However, the punch happened to be silent and the spirit currents were like simmering undercurrents that blasted the position of where the monk in white was. That lotus flower immediately shattered and the Buddhist ray floated away.
The monk in white took this blow and his body scattered into shimmers, there was a Buddhist essence that was solid and not scattered. From within it, his divine thoughts was broadcasted, ”Then we will wait for Benefactor's Shen grand arrival.”
After that, the Buddhist essence scattered and only white snow is seen.
Fan Yanying was then clear that the other was just an incarnation that had its trace hidden in midair. That was why it was extremely hard to discover him.
Shen Lian said to Fang Yanying, ”It is not that his cultivation experience is brilliant but in reality, there is some abstruse to this person's cultivation. In this vast world, there are very few who are capable regarding the matter of hiding one's track. If I was just an ordinary immortal Zhenren, even I could not have discovered him.”
