Chapter 302 Master Wen Chan
"Master, I am truly willing to give these things to you, so I am giving them to you. If I am not willing, I will not give you these Qiankun coins even if you give me a lot in return, so you do not need to compensate me."

Zhang Wufeng said seriously.

Master Wen Chan nodded after hearing this. His expression was very calm, but he hesitated for a moment before saying kindly, "Young Master Zhang, I understand what you mean, but I will only give you another item to help you resolve this disaster."

As Master Wen Chan spoke, he immediately took out a thumb-sized black magnet-like object. This object looked very much like the Nine Soul Stone, but inside it, there was a cloud-like energy flow.

Just by seeing this, Zhang Wufeng already knew that this thing should be a higher-level Nine Soul Stone. Although the value of the Nine Soul Stone is not as good as the Ten Directions Universe Stone, at least the value of this Nine Soul Stone is already very good.

When Zhang Wufeng saw this thing, he was also slightly surprised. At this time, Master Wen Chan had already said with a smile: "I have worn this thing since I started practicing, and have been nurturing and blessing it with Buddhism. Although I myself do not have much wisdom, this thing itself has the effect of eliminating disasters and avoiding calamities. Young Master Zhang, you can take it."

"Master, I really can't accept this thing." Zhang Wufeng said in a firm tone.

Zhang Wufeng would naturally not accept the things that such a great monk carried with him.

"You are a person without any faith, so there is nothing wrong with accepting this thing. Besides, Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, and I don't want to dwell on this point. If you don't take this thing, I will owe you a cause and effect, and I will have to compensate you in the end. This will not be worth the loss."

Master Wen Chan said seriously.

"Well, since the master said so, then I will accept it." Zhang Wufeng pondered. Since Master Wen Chan said so, he took the Nine Soul Stone.

As soon as this thing came into Zhang Wufeng's hands, he immediately felt a different kind of energy, integrity, justice, love, and selflessness.

Although Zhang Wufeng did not feel any special aura under such circumstances, he could deeply feel the powerful righteousness contained in the Nine Soul Stone.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Wufeng could be absolutely sure that this thing could definitely ward off disasters and avoid catastrophes. At least, it would not be a problem to save someone once or twice inexplicably.

Although Zhang Wufeng has completely given up on many religious issues, he still respects this master.

"Well, it's good that you accept it." Master Wen Chan said with a smile.

"Master, you are here not just for the Qiankun Coin, right? Do you have anything else to do?" Zhang Wufeng asked.

"Well, there is one more thing, which is similar. Young Master Zhang, if you come across something like this again in the future, please keep it for me. I will also exchange it for something of roughly equal value. This value is for you, Young Master Zhang. For the entire Shaolin, these things are actually priceless treasures."

Master Wen Chan said seriously.

"Master, don't worry about this. If I sense someone with a similar aura, I will definitely help you keep it."

Zhang Wufeng thought about it. Although this thing could be of some help to him, since he knew that it was made from the relics of an eminent monk, under normal circumstances, this Qiankun coin might not have any connection with Shaolin. Even if it did, it would not be closely related. Therefore, Zhang Wufeng agreed.

This is merely admiration and respect for a compassionate old man, and not really for the sake of repaying him.

"Okay, if you agree, then I'm relieved. These things are almost all made from refining relics. We can only bless them with endless Buddhist teachings to transform them into relics again, and then build a stupa to enshrine them."

Master Wen Chan said seriously.

"Master, I know all this in general, but relics usually appear after the death of a respected master, and there are quite a lot of them. But now, this kind of Qiankun Coin is very rare. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to come across it."

Zhang Wufeng thought for a moment and said. Master Wen Chan nodded and said, "What you said is actually not unreasonable. There is certainly a reason for this.

The word "sarira" originally referred to the remains and pearl-like gemstones left behind after the cremation of the Buddhist founder Sakyamuni Buddha. However, it is now a general term for the fruits of cultivation left behind by some highly respected monks after their death.

The Indian language for relics is called Tudu, or Sheliluo, which is translated into Yun language as Linggu, Shengu, or Yishen. It is the crystals left after a person passes away and is cremated. However, relics are completely different from the bones of ordinary dead people. Its shape varies from round to oval, from lotus to Buddha or Bodhisattva. Its colors include white, black, green, red, and various colors. Some relics are like pearls, some are like agate, and some are like crystals. Some are transparent, and some are bright and shining, just like diamonds.

Moreover, the stronger the Buddhist spirit and the deeper the practice, the more relics will be produced after death, and the higher the quality will be.

Relics are obtained through the practice of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, as well as one's own great vows. They are very rare and precious. For example, after the Buddha's Nirvana, the relics burned out amounted to one stone and six buckets. At that time, eight kings competed for the Buddha's relics, and each of them got a share of the relics. They took the Buddha's relics back to their own countries and built pagodas for the people to admire and worship. In addition, accomplished monks and lay believers can also obtain relics after they pass away. For example, Master Hongyi, Master Yin Guang, Master Taixu, and Living Buddha Zhangjia in modern times all left behind a considerable number of relics.

According to Buddhist literature, after Buddha Shakyamuni passed away and was cremated, his disciples found numerous round, hard objects in his ashes that were crystal clear, colorful, and as hard as steel. These were relics, commonly known as sarira seeds, and have always been regarded as Buddhist treasures.

These treasures have always been snatched away by some special organizations. Some people are born with special abilities. For example, they have strong spirits and can devour the energy in things like jade. There are also some special monks who can absorb the energy in jade, soul stones, and relics, disguise themselves, and then rebel against Buddhism and transform themselves into some special organizations. They also refine some powerful, inabsorbable relics into something like gold coins for trading.

The originally holy treasure has been defiled in this way."

Master Wen Chan said with heartache.

Hearing this, Zhang Wufeng immediately understood the origin of the so-called Qiankun coins. It turned out that the real Qiankun coins were actually truly amazing things, and were relics that even the strongest people could not absorb.

Zhang Wufeng felt that although Master Wen Chan was in a somewhat calm mood, there was still a trace of turmoil in his heart. Obviously, even Master Wen Chan would feel a little indignant that the relics left by a virtuous monk were used to forge currency.

However, because he felt a little bit of indignation, Zhang Wufeng felt relieved. This is what a human being is. Even a highly respected master is still a human being.

This is not a sign of insufficient cultivation, but rather a manifestation of true human nature.

Zhang Wufeng understood that the end of cultivation was not about abandoning wisdom and knowledge, but simply returning to the ordinary and returning to nature.

"The master is a man of true character. Zhang really admires him. However, this kind of thing will naturally have cause and effect. Since the master believes in it, there is no need to be sad and angry. You just need to work hard and have no regrets, and wait for the result." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.

"Young Master Zhang is absolutely right. I am actually just concerned about the changes in the world. Young Master Zhang, you have great wisdom in your heart. If you are willing to convert to Buddhism, it will definitely be a blessing for Buddhism." Master Wen Chan said with emotion with a smile.

"Master, forget about this. Actually, someone said a long time ago that I lack faith. In fact, people without faith are really sad because they don't have a real spiritual support. Most people in Yun country believe in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, but now many people can't tell the difference between them. Their beliefs are confused. Many people even believe in superficial things. Buddhism emphasizes benevolence, kindness, and not lying, etc., but Master, look at people nowadays. Not only are lies flying everywhere, but benevolence, kindness, forgiveness, and waiting are just a joke.

In the past, people were all black-eyed and red-hearted. Now, people have red eyes and black hearts. The master should see this situation more clearly than I do. "

Zhang Wufeng sighed and said that even though he had become a superman now, he had often seen many things that were unpleasant to his eyes, but he ignored them.

There has always been no shortage of feudal-like greed, corruption, and oppression of the people in history and today.

"Young Master Zhang, since you have such an attitude, why don't you do it? Wherever there is injustice, there will be resistance. In this case, you can actually take the lead and start with yourself." Master Wen Chan said with a smile.

"Haha, Master, you are joking. It is useless for me to be aware of such things. In fact, most people are just talking about it. If they are really asked to do it, most of them will just treat others as fools. They will strongly encourage others to do it, and then watch others die. When others die, they will praise them as heroes and martyrs, and then they will not take it to heart. In fact, the people of Yun Country are basically satisfied as long as they have a stable life, a house to live in, and can live a good life."

Zhang Wufeng chuckled.
