Chapter 13 (2/2)

now it seemed that the truth might not be so. instead, the liang family was somewhat afraid of jinshan temple, and it would not really be worthwhile to provoke them for just one of their juniors.

however, whatever hidden matters were going on in jinshan temple, they had nothing to do with him. he just needed to ignore it and pretend that he knew nothing.

he was just a refugee, so how could he have the energy to concern himself with the affairs of others?

just as liang sheng decided not to pry into the secrets of jinshan temple, in the abbot’s meditation room in jinshan temple, xuan nan was reporting to abbot xuankong about today’s events.

“abbot elder brother, hongzhi has already met liang sheng. liang sheng has come here just to seek peace of mind and copy buddhist scriptures from the temple. i’ve also had someone inquire about him, and there should be no problems.”

xuankong did not look up, only turning the prayer beads in his hand as he said indifferently, “is this liang sheng really as useless as rumored?”

“indeed, i have met him personally, and he is still at the second level of the post-natal realm now. he is like rotten wood that cannot be carved.”

xuan nan shook his head directly, and his eyes were filled with contempt as he uttered the last word.

he didn’t know why liang sheng was so useless, while hongzhi, who also had liang family blood, had such a different talent.

as for hongzhi, xuan nan was extremely satisfied. hongzhi had already reached the sixth realm in his martial arts cultivation at the age of thirty.

if he could break through the bottleneck and enter the postnatal sevenfold realm, he would achieve high-level martial arts and become the number one person among the younger disciples of jinshan temple.

of course, this bottleneck might only take one year for him to break through, but there was also a chance that he could get stuck in the sixth realm for ten years… no one could be sure.

the path of martial arts cultivation is full of obstacles, and many gifted children have made rapid progress in their youth but spent years stuck in the bottleneck and unable to advance.

no wonder when liang ying reached the postnatal seventh realm at the age of thirty, the liang family ancestor personally decided to let him inherit the position of the patriarch.

indeed, liang ying was incredibly talented and gifted. unexpectedly, in ten or twenty years, the liang family might have another postnatal nine-realm martial artist, or even-

hope for the innate level!

upon hearing this, abbot xuankong still showed no emotions on his face, “in that case, let elder xuan nian pay more attention to him. as long as he doesn’t go to the second floor of the scripture repository, he can browse through the scriptures on the first floor as he pleases.

as for whether he really came to our temple to copy buddhist scriptures for peace of mind or if he had other motives, those are of no importance given his strength.”

“yes, abbot elder brother, i understand.”

by nightfall, not long after liang sheng and ma san ate a vegetarian meal in the dining hall of jinshan temple, hongzhi brought good news.

“liang jushi, elder xuan nian has agreed to let you go to the scripture repository to copy buddhist scriptures. you can go there tomorrow, but just don’t go to the second floor of the scripture repository.”

“i’m grateful for master hongzhi’s efforts on my behalf, otherwise, i may not have been able to enter the scripture repository so smoothly.”

“layman, you joke. today, i found out that you are a true believer in the buddhas. our buddha is meant to help the predestined, so if elder xuan nian has agreed, there’s no need to thank me. it’s because of your deep buddhist affinity.”

after that, the two chatted briefly, and as it was getting late, hongzhi left in accordance with temple rules.

liang sheng lay in bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and he couldn’t help but smile slightly. today’s mission was completed.

as long as jinzhou city wasn’t peaceful, he would stay in jinshan temple and not return for a day. not to mention, the vegetarian meal at the temple tasted very good, which made liang sheng even more carefree about the future.

but who knew how many people would die in this chaos of jinzhou city?

amitabha.
