Chapter 67: Secrets of the Temple 2 (2/2)
Monk Jiu Rou said in a serious manner.
“Pfft!”
Feng Feiyun almost spat out the piece of scorpion meat he was chewing on. This monk was really called Monk Jiu Rou!
Monk Jiu Rou stood next to the fire. With his round face wearing a solemn expression, as if he was remembering something, he said:
“Before my master led me into the Mortal Life Temple, he didn’t give me a buddhist title before passing away. The buddhist title ‘Jiu Rou’ was a name I personally chose.”
The Mortal Life Temple was a grand temple? Feng Feiyun had never heard of it before. He felt that this monk was only speaking nonsense.
Feng Feiyun always felt that this monk had a mental problem and he didn’t want to hurt him, so he said:
“Senior is an accomplished monk, how could you keep a young miss in captivity? If this matter was spread outside, then it wouldn’t only affect your reputation but also the honor of the Mortal Life Temple.”
Feng Feiyun sincerely described the grave stakes for Monk Jiu Rou, hoping that this strange monk would be enlightened.
Monk Jiu Rou still seemed to be thinking about something. His old voice was prolonged and sighed:
“The Mortal Life Temple has already sunk into the ground for more than eight hundred years. The entire Mortal Life Temple only had this poor monk left. Even if I lost all of my reputation, I would still take this girl as my disciple to pass on all of the buddhist teachings of the Mortal Life Temple and continue our heritage. Otherwise, after this poor monk passes away, how would I have the face to meet my master?”
“What? This godly temple is the Mortal Life Temple?”
Feng Feiyun was a bit surprised.
“What?! You want to take me in as a disciple? To be a female monk?”
Feng Jianxue shivered and continuously shook her head. Even if someone were to beat her to death, she still wouldn’t want to be a monk — a shaved head would be very ugly. This matter was absolutely impossible, but there was no opportunity for negotiation.
Monk Jiu Rou nodded his head and said:
“You and buddha are brought together by fate. You have the Xiantian buddhist Bones. If you didn’t come with me to join the monastery, then it would be a great shame. Plus, I’m not forcing you to be a female monk?”
“Then what?”
Feng Feiyun also frowned. Naturally, he didn’t hope for Feng Jianxue to become a monk.
“A female nun!”
Monk Jiu Rou drank a large gulp of booze again. The sound of him swallowing wine was very loud.
Feng Feiyun and Feng Jianxue were completely speechless towards this monk. Even if he wanted a disciple, he should be finding a male that was completely dedicated to buddhism. However, this monk only wanted a beautiful little girl, like jade and flower, such as Feng Jianxue; this was causing too much trouble for others!
However, Feng Feiyun also noticed that this Monk Jiu Rou also had a bit of buddhist tendency in him. Even though he appeared to be careless and drowned in alcohol and meat, his attitude was very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it.
“I don’t want to be a female nun, just kill me now!”
Feng Jianxue stomped on the ground. She wanted to kick this Monk Jiu Rou’s head.
“Great sin! Great sin! Master has never killed any living existence, not even an ant.”
Monk Jiu Rou spoke while chewing on a piece of scorpion meat.
Feng Feiyun smiled:
“Then the scorpion in the hands of Senior, did it kill itself by slamming into a wall?”
“Not true, not true. It was the flames that killed it, not this monk.”
Monk Jiu Rou honestly spoke with a serious expression. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
However, this sadness quickly disappeared. He continued to open his big mouth to eat the meat and drink the wine.
Feng Feiyun admitted that he was a bit shameless and had done many bad things, but today, he truly had to accept complete defeat before this Monk Jiu Rou.
“Rumble!”
The entire buddhist pagoda violently shook. The fight outside became more and more frightening. Countless sword energies scurried in the sky and destroyed buddhist pagodas one by one while they cut bronze buddhist statues into pieces.
However, within ten zhang, these sword energies were unable to enter this buddhist pagoda. Once they reached here, there was an invisible force that dissipated these sword energies and turned them into a plume of smoke.
Feng Feiyun opened a window inside the pagoda and stared outside. The three Giants were still attacking with all of their might towards the yellow muddy ancient well.
The ancient well was still standing strong. There were strands of smoke that emanated outward, turning into a sword will, and a grand battle occurred.
“Senior, you are the last monk of the Mortal Life Temple, do you know there real secret inside the ancient well?”
Feng Feiyun curiously asked.
After hearing the question, Monk Jiu Rou became even more serious. He put down the scorpion meat in his hand and stared at the sad painting on the wall. Then, he slowly spoke:
“The well buried a woman. One thousand eight hundred years ago, the abbot of the Mortal Life Temple caused all of the monks to die in order to save this woman. He refined all of the life essences of all of the existences inside this grand temple in order to create an immortal spring spirit water — in order to prolong the life of this woman.”Previous ChapterNext Chapte
