Chapter 470 Warrior and The Sage (1/2)
Upon hearing this voice, Gao Peng instructed the Skeleton Dragon to descend.
The roots of the cherry blossom tree tightly gripped onto the mountain, with some of its thick vines visible on the mountainside. On the rooted part of the cherry blossom tree sat a temple with red roofs and white walls.
A monk dressed in a gray robe was quietly sweeping fallen leaves in front of the temple. When the monk saw Gao Peng landing on the back of the Skeleton Dragon, he calmly placed his broom against the wall, then bowed to Gao Peng and said, ”Please wait for a moment, sir.”
After a while, another monk dressed in a red robe appeared to welcome Gao Peng, so Gao Peng took Dumby and Desolion along with him into the temple. The patio had a picturesque view. In a serene garden full of trees laid a stream of white sand that passed through more than half the courtyard, some pebbles adorning it.
The monk looked at Gao Peng with a smile on his face, put his palms together, and bowed to him. ”Welcome to Nihon.”
Gao Peng also put his palms together, paying his respects to the monk. ”Sorry for disturbing, Master.”
”Yuan Yi, carry on with your cleaning,” the monk in red robes whispered to the gray-robed monk. Yuan Yi quickly nodded and left the patio.
The red-robed monk paid his respects to Desolion, who was on Gao Peng's shoulder, and also to Dumby, who was standing behind Gao Peng. ”We didn't know it was the Heavenly Highness of the Undead Catastrophe. It's such a shame.” The monk sighed with deep emotions.
He seemed to be in his fifties, with wrinkles around his eyes and an auspicious, peaceful composure. He had the look of a distinguished monk.
However, Gao Peng was still in doubt. At first, he had thought that this monk was a wooden puppet of the cherry blossom tree, but the monk's attributes proved him wrong. He was just a normal human with no signs of being seized or manipulated.
Could he have been the cherry blossom tree's monster trainer? If he was its trainer, then he would be a King-tier monster trainer who was yet to be discovered.
”I am a believer of the Almighty Cherry Blossom Tree,” the monk said earnestly, as if he was able to read Gao Peng's mind. ”This world is already full of disasters. Thus, we need peace.” The monk expressed his thoughts sincerely, and then muttered under his breath, ”Peace is truly essential, as so many people have already died.”
Gao Peng agreed, ”You're right! Many people have died. I also long for peace.”
How awesome life would be with the presence of peace. We could laze around at home watching television or playing games while enjoying happier times.
The red-robed monk's eyes brightened; Gao Peng's reply was seemingly beyond his expectations. ”We have lots of common in terms of our thoughts.”
”Hmm.” Gao Peng nodded with a straight face.
”Our master hopes to be able to maintain World Peace along with you,” the monk said, beaming.
”In what way do you mean 'maintain'? Even for me, I don't dare to claim that I have the ability to maintain World Peace.” Gao Peng shook his head.
A vigorous and firm voice was heard from the top of the temple. ”Humans are naturally greedy, so we need to take the initiative to control them.”
The big tree behind the temple suddenly opened its eyes. The two black holes in the tree were similar to the Devil's Nest. The whole mountain peak trembled with its voice.
