Chapter 522 Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis (1/2)

Shen Lian looked towards the direction Wangcheng, smiled and said, ”This person is not to be taken lightly. You may be able to meet him if you wait at the Meridian Gate of Wangcheng.”

”Meridian Gate?” Muzhen was puzzled. The Meridian Gate of Wangcheng was a demonic place. He who offended the King would be dragged to this gate and to be executed. Although a person was able to condense his spirit, it would be futile. This was because the surrounding Qi of devilry would attack the spirit and subsequently when it contacts with the sun of midday, the spirit would vanish.

Shen Lian nodded.

Muzhen continued, ”Do you mean that the person will come out from the Meridian Gate?”

With a grin on his face, Shen Lian said, ”I am sharing this piece of information with you only because I am also from a Daoist origin. It will be your choice whether to believe.” Muzhen saw Shen Lian lightly waving his sleeves. All of a sudden, the scene around him began to recede until he managed to direct his Qi to stop. Then, he realized that he had crossed the Xia Canal, overlooking the Zhiwei Temple.

He was frightened. The celestial's means were unpredictable. It also had been awhile since he was playing around like a baby.

However, since Shen Lian sounded certain, Muzhen must try his luck in the Meridian Gate of Wangcheng.

Buneng witnessed the whole process. He deeply felt that the move was as smooth as thin clouds and mild winds. Moreover, it exceeded the essence of a non-being. Using the power of space, he moved Muzhen away without resistance.

Having this state of the realm among the bodhisattvas was considered good.

At the same time, Buneng was jealous of Muzhen because there was a sign of positive outcome for Xuanzhen Hall. However, Shen Lian's attitude towards Buddhism did not seem friendly. What he did not know was that Shen Lian had a predestined relationship with Muzhen's disciple, Liu Mengde. Hence, it was time for Shen Lian to return the favor.

Sluggishly, with his arms folded behind, Shen Lian told Buneng, ”Are you sure you want to ask me for help? It's not an easy task to impress me.”

In a serious tone, Buneng answered, ”As you wish, State Preceptor. If there is anything that you want, we will go all out to get it and will not let you down.”

Shen Lian laughed and said, ”Although there are things that I am interested in Dajue Temple, I can take it directly, without your permission. Hence, you don't have to say that. Well, allow me to ask, who is the founder of Dajue Temple?”

Buneng could not figure out the reason behind the question but he truthfully answered, ”The founder of our temple is the Kasyapa Bodhisattva.”

There were many disciples of Buddha whom there were five people whose name was Kasyapa. Nonetheless, only Mahakasyapa could be individually called 'Kasyapa' to show his uniqueness.

To answer how powerful is Kasyapa, it could be seen by the title 'Maha'.

Daoist 'Taiyi' was corresponding to Buddhist 'Mahasattva'. 'Maha' was the surname of Kasyapa. This showed that Kasyapa was one of earliest Buddha's disciples to enter the realm of Mahasattva.

Shen Lian explained, ”There were countless almighty Bodhisattva from the Buddha sect. However, Kasyapa is one of the top ones. I read about his records and one of the thing that blew my mind away was his conversation with the Buddha. Knowing that you had learned from Kasyapa and frequently practiced meditation, I would give you a chance.”

In his heart, Buneng was happy. Even if the conditions requested by Shen Lian was hard, it was not vague. As long as he was able to do it, this effort was worth the trip.

He did not plead Shen Lian to give a task that was within his ability. After all, Shen Lian was a person of honour. He would not be so petty. In an earnest manner, Buneng asked, ”Please tell me what to do.”
