Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 468 Burning Sand for Thousands of Miles, Converting to Buddhism

Between the cliff and the valley, a fight was still going on on the stone, but Chen Mu was confused and puzzled. When he was about to ask about the details of Baoguang Temple, the bare-chested monk spoke first.

He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lingyuan is very secretive. Even at the initial stage, I am already very excited. I believe he must be from a famous sect, right?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly, but he didn't hide anything. He nodded frankly and said, "Daoyou Chikong, you are too polite. I come from the Fushan Changhe River in the Northern Plains..."

"Fushan Long River?" The bare-chested monk's eyes lit up. Judging from his reaction, it was obvious that he had heard of the name of Fushan Long River.

"Fellow Daoist Lingyuan is from one of the three major Taoist sects in Beiyuan, and he comes from a famous family!"

He sighed and smacked his lips repeatedly. After a moment, he raised his eyes and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lingyuan, are you willing to become my sworn brother? Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to be fellow Daoists and seek the Great Dao together?"

When he suddenly said the words of sworn brotherhood, even Chen Mu, who usually kept a low profile, was stunned and felt that this monster was even more strange.

So he just lowered his eyes, smiled, made a few casual polite remarks, and then took the initiative to change the subject.

The bare-chested monk did not press the issue any further, but enthusiastically introduced Chen Mu to many interesting stories of the Western Desert, including the old stories of many high-ranking Jindan monks...

Chen Mu's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked at the monk with more curiosity.

After a while, the fight on the boulder finally came to an end.

Although the difference in their realms was not big, the abbot of Mingyue Temple still suffered from lack of experience and was defeated in one move, resulting in a complete loss.

Abbot Jingyun recalled the Tianlong Zen Staff, looking quite pleased with himself. He snorted coldly and said, "Don't accuse me of bullying you because you're young. This is a dispute over the meaning of the sutra that cannot be ignored. I hope today's battle will serve as a warning to you and help you regain the true meaning of Buddhism!"

Zhenyi said nothing. Mingyue Temple was not as good as Tianlong Temple. After the defeat, no one spoke for him. Instead, the onlookers kept talking one after another, saying that the Buddhism he believed in was a heresy.

Chen Mu shook his head secretly upon seeing this. He couldn't say who was right or wrong in this matter. The idea of ​​the great way was originally a matter for one person. In the final analysis, it was still the lack of true strength.

If he were a Nascent Soul cultivator now, would anyone still reject his Buddhist teachings?
I guess there isn't one...

"Fellow Daoist Jingyun, what you said is not right!"

Just as he was sighing, a loud shout suddenly came from nearby, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Mu's heart trembled, and he slowly looked at the bare-chested monk beside him.

He still had a smile on his face, and he looked at Ishigami Jingyun with a smile, as if he was pointing out some shortcomings of his friend.

"It's him, why is he here?"

"Didn't he follow Master Shenxiu to establish a Buddhist temple in the Wasteland of Ten Thousand Souls? I think it's called... Baoguang Temple?"

"Yes, why is he here at this time? As I recall, Baoguang Temple is not an orthodox temple, so it seems that it has no qualifications to come here to discuss the Dharma?"

"Could it be that the Great Leiyin Temple invited him here..."

In an instant, the group of cultivators were surprised and gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the matter. They had not even noticed the man's arrival just now.

"Fensha, how dare you come here?"

A cold light flashed in Jingyun's eyes, and the Tianlong Zen Staff that he had put away was once again tightly grasped in his hand.

The bare-chested monk waved his hand and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Jingyun, have you forgotten? I, Old Pig, converted to Buddhism long ago and became your disciple. I also took the Buddhist name Chikong. Why do you still call me Fensha?"

"Humph!" Jing Yun snorted coldly in rebuttal, emphasizing each word: "You burned thousands of miles of sand and destroyed dozens of temples of our human race, and you are worthy of converting to Buddhism?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of cultivators fell silent, with varying expressions. Some glared at each other, while others shook their heads and sighed...

Chen Mu's heart was stirring quietly, but he remained expressionless on the surface. In fact, he became a little wary of him.

Monk Chikong's smile had cooled by now, and he said expressionlessly: "I've said countless times that I didn't do it..." "Whether it was or not, you can't get away with it!"

Jing Yun shouted angrily, waving his sleeves and shouting, "You, Burning Sand Shura, are not welcome at the Western Desert Hundred Temples Forum. Get out!"

As soon as he said this, it was like a bolt of thunder in a clear sky!

Monk Chikong's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his fierce eyes.

But just when Chen Mu thought he couldn't help it, he found a bean-sized light suddenly appeared on his forehead. It was extremely dim, and if it weren't for his sharp mind, he would have almost ignored it.

Then the murderous intent in Monk Chikong's eyes receded like a tide, without a trace of it left...

"The Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara?"

Chen Mu was stunned. Having seen this technique numerous times, he wouldn't be mistaken. The bean-shaped light was indeed the manifestation of the Burning Lamp Mantra...

"How come he is also practicing the Buddhist tradition of the Great Leiyin Temple?"

In an instant, many doubts surged into his mind, causing him to fall into deep thought.

Over the past three months, Huizhen not only cast a spell to drive away his murderous intent, but also told him a lot about the background and legends of the Great Leiyin Temple.

Among them is the origin of the "Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara".

According to him, "The Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara" was one of the inheritances of the Dipankara True Buddha lineage that descended from the Western Desert ten thousand years ago. It was obtained by the head monk of the Bodhi Hall of the Great Leiyin Temple at that time. While he attained Buddhahood with it, he also left this inheritance in the Great Leiyin Temple.

Until now, the "Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara" remains in the temple and has never been leaked.

"But if it has never been leaked, how can Monk Chikong explain this?"

Chen Mu's brows knitted together. This was related to the "Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp", and he really couldn't pretend to ignore it...

Monk Chikong had calmed down by this time. Facing Jingyun's scolding, he laughed out loud, shaking his head and saying:
"As the Buddha said, lay down your butcher knife and you will instantly become a Buddha. Even though I have committed many sins of killing, I am now truly devoted to Buddhism and have reformed myself. Why are you, an old immortal, so reckless? Do you think you are indifferent to the teachings of the Buddha?"

Jing Yun's expression froze when he heard this, but then he snorted coldly, "You are a silver-tongued person, but you are a murderer by nature. How dare you mention Buddhist teachings and Zen?"

As soon as he finished speaking, perhaps because he was afraid that Chi Kong would refute again, he immediately raised the Tianlong Zen Staff and once again transformed into the shadow of a Tianlong, rushing forward with a roar!

"What a big temper..."

The group of cultivators were stunned when they saw this. They didn't expect Jingyun to take the initiative again.

"Roar!"

The shadow of the dragon was as real as a substance, and even the dragon scales on it opened and closed slightly with its breathing, which looked extremely creepy.

Chi Kong laughed loudly. He had evil intentions in mind, but when he saw Jing Yun take the first step, he immediately had no more worries.

"Master, please understand. It was this old man who started it first..."

He murmured, then raised his eyes and shouted, "Don't even mention a mere phantom, even if a real dragon appears, I, Old Pig, won't be afraid!"

With a shout, the monk's robe on his body suddenly burst apart, and he rushed straight towards the shadow of Tianlong with his upper body naked.

Judging from his intention, he actually wants to use the strength of his physical body to compete with the shadow of the dragon and the magic weapon.

"court death!"

Jing Yun said nothing, the golden elixir in his body spinning non-stop. Behind him, the Buddha's light shone brilliantly, blessing the shadow of the Tianlong, making it even more ferocious...
