Chapter 490: Talking Nonsense
Damn it!
This West Shuzhou is indeed the world of monks, why are there bald donkeys everywhere?
Hearing the Buddhist chant, Xiao Mian cursed secretly, but also felt relieved.
If the person coming is a Buddhist monk, he would not kill people.
Of course, nothing is absolute in the world. Even among Buddhist monks, there are bloodthirsty people, such as the demon-possessed Mie Yuan. When has he ever been compassionate?
Because of the sudden appearance of the big monk, the fight between Xiao Mian and Zi Ning ended in vain, and the soft tongue whip and the red tassel flew back respectively. While putting the soft tongue whip into his sleeves, Xiao Mian looked at the big monk who suddenly appeared.
The big monk was wearing a big red cassock and had a strong body, but unlike ordinary Buddhist monks, he did not shave his head and had a full beard, which made him look rough and wild.
From beginning to end, the big monk kept his eyes closed.
However, the faint pressure of the Nascent Soul emanating from him was beyond doubt. Obviously, this was a Buddhist Nascent Soul cultivator, and a Lama cultivator from the Jokhang Temple. Only the Jokhang Temple had this kind of Tantric Lama who was very different from ordinary Buddhist cultivators!
"Amitabha!" After chanting the Buddha's name again, the monk said to himself: "Three hundred years ago, I passed by here and met a red fox. Seeing that it had a trace of wisdom, I suddenly had an idea and passed it a volume of "Simple Method of Contemplating and Practicing Vajra of Victory". I should have sent the Buddha to the west and brought it with me to teach it well. However, I had something important to do that day, so I had to leave it here. I only said that I would come here to save it three hundred years later."
The monk's words were extremely clear. The red fox in his words was naturally Chi Mei, who had been dead for almost half a year. Obviously, he came here to save Chi Mei.
At least that's what the monk said himself. It is unknown how it happened.
Xiao Mian watched coldly, Zi Ning was excited, but the monk was unusually calm.
"Now it seems that the little fox is probably dead..." While speaking, the monk leaned towards Xiao Mian with a deep meaning, but never opened his eyes. Seeing Zi Ning looking at him suspiciously, Xiao Mian could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Fortunately, the monk turned to Zi Ning and continued to say: "This female Bodhisattva has already formed a demon pill, but she can still maintain a pure body. It is more rare than the red fox at the beginning. Female Bodhisattva, are you willing to leave with me and participate in the supreme Dharma together?"
Zi Ning was stunned when she heard this, but didn't know how to answer for a while.
As Chi Mei's confidant, Zi Ning naturally knew the origin of the "Simple Method of Vajra Contemplation and Practice" that Chi Mei practiced. It was a sacred method of dual cultivation in Tantric Buddhism; looking at the posture of the monk in front of him, it was clear that he wanted her to leave with him, practice dual cultivation with him, and participate in the Dharma together.
However, Zi Ning is not like Chi Mei. Although she is a fox demon, Zi Ning is naturally cold and does not like the way of love between men and women. This is also the fundamental reason why she has always kept herself clean.
Perhaps "The Simple Method of Victory Vajra Contemplation" is really a secret method of the Tantric Buddhism, but from the bottom of her heart, Zi Ning is unwilling to be involved in those dual cultivation methods, especially after seeing Chi Mei's daily behavior and the ugly postures of Zhuang Qianye, Gu Xifeng and others.
Zi Ning's heart is very strong and she does not want to give up easily.
However, it is much more difficult for outsiders to achieve something than human cultivators. Fox demons like Zi Ning have unique talents, but because they do not have a suitable cultivation method, their combat power is mediocre. If not, they would not have to use their high-level Jindan cultivation to play tricks when dealing with Zhuang Qianye and Gu Xifeng.
If she could get the Buddhist method, Zi Ning's cultivation path would naturally be much easier.
When Zi Ning was fighting with heaven and man, Xiao Mian suddenly spoke.
"Five hundred years ago, my master passed by here and met a purple fox. Seeing that it had a bit of wisdom, he wanted to teach it the Buddhist Dharma. However, my master saw that the purple fox had not yet finished its earthly ties and its past karma had not been cleansed, so he gave up and made an appointment with the purple fox: to continue the previous relationship five hundred years later! This time, I came here at the order of my master to find the reincarnation of the purple fox and teach it the supreme Dharma of the heterodox Buddhist practice - "The Heart Sutra of the Great Free Heaven of Others"!"
Xiao Mian's words not only stunned Zi Ning, but also the big monk, although he still closed his eyes, but also looked at Xiao Mian with a slightly stunned expression.
When it comes to talking nonsense, who is Xiao Mian afraid of?
"Ignorant young man! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Why do you say that, senior? You are allowed to pass by this place three hundred years ago, but my master was not allowed to visit here five hundred years ago?" Seeing that the monk was about to say something, Xiao Mian changed the subject: "My master - the nameless mountain in Shishahai - Saint Monk Ananda!"
Since he was going to talk nonsense, he might as well open a river to the sky!
Sure enough, when Xiao Mian said this, the monk kept silent.
As for Zi Ning, when he heard the words "Saint Monk Ananda", his eyes lit up. In a trance, even he felt that in his previous life five hundred years ago, he had met the first saint monk in Xishuzhou and made the unfounded five hundred years agreement.
"Didn't Miss Zi Ning just ask about my origins and purpose? I came here to teach you the "Heart Sutra of the Great Free Heaven of Transmutation" on behalf of my master!"
"Are you serious, fellow Daoist?"
"Although I am not an orthodox Buddhist monk, I am also a registered disciple of my master, and monks do not lie. Besides, you will know the truth after a try!"
After saying that, Xiao Mian casually threw out a golden Buddhist book, which was the original copy of the "Heart Sutra of the Great Free Heaven of Transmutation" that the little monk gave to Qing Jing in Shanjian City.
Sure enough, when this golden Buddhist book came out, Zi Ning already believed it to 70%. When she opened the book and took a rough look, she was even more excited and hurried to thank Xiao Mian.
Even the big monk was slightly moved when Xiao Mian took out the golden Buddhist book.
Xiao Mian saw it with his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
Although Jiaye was not very authentic, he was at least a genuine little holy monk. How could the things that came from him be ordinary?
This golden Buddhist book was obviously a rare item of no rank like the thunder bottle at the beginning. The reason why Xiao Mian showed it off even though he knew it was to win Zi Ning's trust, but more importantly, to shock the Lama of the Jokhang Temple who was in the Nascent Soul Realm.
After the big monk's face changed slightly, he smiled indifferently, but said nothing.
"Thank you for your enlightenment! Thank you for the grace of the holy monk Ananda!"
After thanking him repeatedly, Zi Ning turned to look at the big monk, wanting to say something but stopping.
The big monk smiled lightly and said nothing, just shook his head slightly.
Zi Ning certainly couldn't figure out what the big monk meant, but Xiao Mian's face changed slightly: It seems that the Qingmu Flying Boat and Guihai have fallen into the hands of the big monk.
"Miss Zi Ning! I have something to say to this senior from the Jokhang Temple. Besides, you are a girl after all, and there is a difference between men and women. Since you have this opportunity, you should devote yourself to the Tao. How about this! I have some friendship with the abbess of Cihang Jingzhai, Master Jingyin. You might as well stay in Cihang Jingzhai for a while, how about it?"
"This..."
Zi Ning was about to refuse, but when she looked up and saw Xiao Mian's expression flickering in his words, she was slightly stunned. She caught a glimpse of the big monk beside her, and then Zi Ning suddenly realized.
"Thank you for your advice, fellow Taoist! Zi Ning will go to Cihang Jingzhai now!"
After saying that, Zi Ning bowed respectfully to Xiao Mian and the monk, and quietly left the secret room. As for whether she was smart enough, it was not something Xiao Mian could control.
For a long time, Xiao Mian and the monk in the secret room remained silent.
Since Xiao Mian began to practice, he has seen many Yuanying ancestors, but facing a Yuanying ancestor alone in a small secret room like today is an unprecedented experience, not to mention that not long ago, Xiao Mian had snatched food from a tiger's mouth!
The so-called severance of the three-hundred-year agreement between the monk and Chi Mei was nothing but a falsehood, otherwise why would he show up today when Chi Mei had been dead for almost half a year?
Besides, Chi Mei had already fallen into the devil's way and could not meet the monk's needs for dual cultivation at all.
Obviously, the monk's real purpose was probably the pure and innocent Zi Ning!
I just don't know what this monk was thinking. He watched Xiao Mian take Zi Ning away from him, and finally let Zi Ning leave without stopping him.
Could it be that the name of the holy monk Ananda is really so effective?
"Amitabha! Mr. Xiao is really smart!"
"Senior knows the junior?"
Xiao Mian's surprise was not fake. If it was said that Master Jingyin knew about the existence because of Miaoshan, it would be reasonable, but this monk... Could it be...
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Xiao! I would like to thank Mr. Xiao for giving a wake-up call to my young disciple Dorje in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave, otherwise he really didn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
Sure enough!
Dorje is the most outstanding young disciple of the Jokhang Temple in the contemporary era, and one of the nine monks and one nun who participated in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave. Xiao Mian did fight with him.
Although, it was just a quick encounter!
This old guy, could it be that he wants to settle new and old grudges together?
However, since the monk had revealed his identity, he would not harm him. Xiao Mian had to be so worried: the Yuanying Patriarch was not as good as the quasi-Yuanying cultivator. When facing the monk, Xiao Mian had no power to fight back!
In this case, why not give it a try?
This was also the reason why Xiao Mian dared to confront the monk openly. However, Xiao Mian also pointed out the existence of the monk Ananda and the nun Jingyin, and even threw out the little monk's golden Buddhist book, intending to make the monk hesitate.
Now it seems that the monk has no ill intentions.
