124 Zen Meditation-related Questioning, Passed the Tes (1/2)

The small temple in Mount Song that was provided for Shaolin's eminent monk, Master Xuan Kong, was actually a place of repentance. The Master of the Profound Void was a famous fighter of his generation in Shaolin Temple. While his abilities were slightly weaker than those of the unfathomable Sweeper Monk, with a few extraordinary skills within the Seventy-two Ultimate Techniques, he had practically become the master of Shaolin Temple.

However, Profound Void made a wrong decision that led to serious consequences, and it made Shaolin Temple suffer great humiliation. He took the initiative to leave and built this Repentance Temple far away from Shaolin Temple to regret the mistakes he made in his life.

Many small statues of Buddha were enshrined in the temple. There were three incense sticks in front of them. Happy lit them with familiar ease. Once he worshiped them respectfully, he requested to meet Monk Zhi Heng's master, who had been waiting for him by the side.

”My master has isolated himself to train. I am afraid it will be inconvenient for you to meet him. Patron, please forgive me for this inconvenience.”

Perhaps it was because of Happy's appropriate behavior, but Monk Zhi Heng did not take offense at his request. He only tactfully rejected it.

Naturally, Zhi Heng could not agree to the request so easily. It was a chain quest with zen questioning at its core. The reward for clearing the first level was already an increase to one's attributes, so there was no way the quest could be cleared easily.

Happy remembered that countless Shaolin Disciples had entered this small temple in his previous life. They challenged Zhi Heng alone, and some had even challenged him in a group, but they never managed to shake him off and enter the temple.

It was impossible to use brute strength to enter the inner room of the small temple! If anyone wanted to bother Xuan Kong's meditation forcefully, Zhi Heng would be ruthless; he would break his vows and kill.

Even Happy did not have the courage to attack Zhi Heng.

If he wanted to enter the small temple, he needed to seize a fortuitous chance that would link him to Buddhism!

'Only those who are fated can enter!'

Fortuitous chances were the core of World of Martial Arts, and it was the same for Shaolin Temple. As long as a person could seize them, they could trigger quests and enter the small temple.

But once one entered the temple, they would be faced with the difficult task of persuading Monk Zhi Heng to let them meet Master Xuan Kong. For that, they had to rely on their intellect to make Master Xuan Kong appear on his own!

In Happy's past life, there had been countless players who were stuck halfway.

Even if they racked their brains in the small temple, they found no way to enter the inner room.

There were very few people who managed to obtain the rewards for the quest.

Happy had only managed to get the gist of the quest because he had ran into an old player who quite enjoyed Zen meditation-related questioning. He was also one of the seven players who obtained the chance to meet Xuan Kong.

Zen meditation-related questioning!

Happy had said that he was fated with Buddha and persuaded Zhi Heng to let him enter the small temple, in which he succeeded.

The second step was to question zen.

He had to pay attention to quite some things around him.

”I see.” Happy put on an enlightened and regretful expression. ”If that is the case, I have truly been rash! This place is the spot where the both of you meditate quietly. If that is the case, then I shall bid my leave so that I will not bother the both of you.”

Zhi Heng uttered the name of Buddha in a very polite tone. ”Amitabha! Patron, you do not have to be so courteous. Since you have come here, be at ease. It is night now. Rest for the night in the temple before you go. My master is studying Buddhism in the room. Patron, as long as you do not make a ruckus, you will not bother him. Please go to the lateral room to rest.”

”Thank you.”

Under Zhi Heng's guidance, Happy reached a small room. The decorations there were the exact same as in his previous life. Aside from a simple wooden bed, there was only one small table where he could place his things, and an oil lamp. There was also a very thin blanket on the bed.

”The room is simple and crude. Patron, please put up with it,” Zhi Heng said while turning around. His tone was very calm.

Happy was focused. He quickly placed his palms together and answered. ”Master, you worry too much. Was there not a poor girl who went hungry and spent her one coin to buy oil so that she could light a lamp and respect Buddha? I am already very grateful that I could spend the night in the temple!”

”Amitabha.” Zhi Heng turned around and left with a smile.
