Chapter 140: Help Me Taste Something!
After the two of them bowed, the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple and Saint Cal Monastery, who they belonged to, rushed to the foot of Thunder Note Mountain with a group of senior monks.
Xuan Ci, the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, and Pu Guang, the abbot of the Saint Cal Monastery, also went forward and bowed to Lin Xuan at the same time.
With them taking the lead,
the abbot and eminent monks of the 200,000 temples and monasteries present, as well as hundreds of thousands of non-Buddhist people, also went forward and bowed.
For them,!!
being able to see the peerless duo, Monk Tianzen and the Golden Roc Dharma King, was already worth the trip today.
It was a shocking joy to encounter the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort.
After all, no matter how dazzling the two peerless geniuses were, they could not hide the brilliance of the Consort.
Even they took the initiative to bow to the Consort, they knew at a glance who was superior.
Furthermore, not only was the Consort’s identity noble, but he also had the appearance of a god. He was handsome and elegant.
So in front of him, regardless of factions or beliefs, everyone was filled with admiration.
After Lin Xuan returned the greetings to the various abbots and eminent monks, he brought his four daughters up Thunder Note Mountain.
Soon, he arrived at the Great Thunderclap Temple at the top of Thunder Note Mountain.
Outside the ancient temple, the abbot, Senior Monk Qingyuan, and Jing Hai were already waiting.
“Amitabha, the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort has graced us with his presence. Our temple is really glorious!”
Qingyuan took the initiative to greet them.
After hearing Jing Hai say that Lin Xuan was a great creation,
Qingyuan felt that it was definitely the Great Thunderclap Temple’s honor to invite Lin Xuan.
At this moment, the 1080 top-notch abbots behind Lin Xuan also nodded silently.
No non-Buddhist had ever participated in a Buddhist Sect Assembly.
However, the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort was not an ordinary person. It was the honor of all the disciples of the Buddhist Sect for him to come.
After exchanging greetings, Qingyuan brought Lin Xuan into the Great Thunderclap Temple.
After entering, Qingyuan explained the various buildings and history of the Great Thunderclap Temple to Lin Xuan.
With the Absolute Mystic Sutra, Lin Xuan knew these things like the back of his hand.
However, seeing how polite Qingyuan was, he listened to Qingyuan’s explanation politely.
“Huh?”
In the corridor leading to the venue,
Xuan Zhu and the others saw a monk sitting in the room beside them and knocking on the wooden fish.
The little girls’ interest was instantly piqued. They ran into the house together and gathered in front of the monk.
“Uncle, what are you knocking on?”
The monk opened his eyes and politely clasped his hands together. “Amitabha. Little princess, this magical artifact is called the Wooden Fish.”
Wooden fish?
Fish?
The little girls’ eyes lit up.
In other words, not only could this thing be beaten, but it could also be eaten?
Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han hurriedly squatted on the ground and sniffed the wooden fish.
She said in surprise, “Strange, why doesn’t it smell good at all?”
The little girls remembered very clearly that any fish cooked by their father was very aromatic and appetizing!
And this wooden fish actually had no taste at all.
Clearly, no one here could cook as well as their father!
Xuan You saw another wooden fish at the side and held it in her hand. She turned around and secretly took a bite.
“Ah!”
The little girl’s teeth instantly ached. Why was this fish so disgusting? She couldn’t bite it at all!
She took out the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python. “Little Nine, take a bite!”
The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python was born with a sharp sense of smell. It realized that this was not food at all and hurriedly shook its head.
Xuan You threatened, “Help me taste it, or I won’t bring you along!”
A hint of helplessness appeared in the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python’s eyes.
If she was unhappy, the Consort would definitely blame it.
It could not bear this responsibility!
So the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python bit the wooden fish with tears in its eyes and shook its head, as if it was saying, “This is not delicious at all!”
“Oh! It seems like it’s really not delicious!” Xuan You put the wooden fish back.
Then, the four little girls ran out together and shook Lin Xuan’s thigh.
“Daddy, Daddy! Why isn’t that wooden fish delicious at all?”
Lin Xuan rubbed their little heads in amusement.
“The wooden fish is just a Dharma artifact used for Buddhist preaching. It’s not a fish that can be eaten, but an instrument made of wood or metal.”
“Since it’s not a fish, why is it called a fish?” Xuan Zhu blinked her eyes curiously.
“That’s because fish don’t sleep. The Buddhist Sect used wood to carve wooden fish according to the appearance of the fish to remind everyone to remember to think about the Dao day and night and not slack off.” Lin Xuan smiled.
“Oh ~ I see!”
After this explanation, the little girls immediately understood.
Qingyuan and the other accomplished monks couldn’t help but put their palms together.
“The Consort is very knowledgeable. How admirable!”
Each of them had cultivated for at least three thousand years and had never seen a non-Buddhist person who could say the true meaning of the wooden fish.
They could not help but praise him. As expected of the Consort. He really had a deep connection with Buddha!
Seeing how highly the senior monks respected Lin Xuan, Monk Tianzen and the Golden Roc Dharma King nodded silently.
They had no doubt that if Lin Xuan was born in the Buddhist Sect, he would definitely be able to crush all the prodigies of the current generation and be the sole ruler!
Then, under Qing Yuan’s lead,
Lin Xuan continued forward with his daughters and quickly arrived at the square of the event.
This square was at least a thousand miles wide.
The surrounding seats were divided into three levels according to the Buddhist cultivation level. The higher one sat, the higher the cultivation level required.
In the center was a huge circular empty space. It was the place where the Buddhist experts discussed the Dao and competed.
At this moment, there were millions of Buddhist cultivators.
And at the highest seats, there were nineteen golden lotus seats.
Qingyuan brought Lin Xuan to a lotus platform in the center and said respectfully, “Consort, please take a seat!”
After seeing Lin Xuan sit down,
everyone present put their palms together and chanted, “Amitabha! Good, good!”
Originally, there were a total of 18 lotus seats.
They corresponded to the 18 most senior monks in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm who had the deepest cultivation and were the most proficient in Buddhism. They had a chance of attaining the status of Buddha in the future.
However, because Qingyuan knew that Lin Xuan was a person of great prestige, he specially added a seat.
and it was the best seat among all the lotus platforms.
Like Qingyuan, the other 17 Future Buddhas and all the Buddhists present did not feel that anything was wrong.
In their opinion, the fact that the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort was specially invited to participate in this grand event was enough to show his nobility.
It was reasonable for him to sit in the best seat.
Then, after the 18 Future Buddhas, including Qingyuan, took their seats, the grand event officially began.
As the host of this grand event, Qingyuan stood up and looked around.
“The Buddhist Dao of our Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has been passed down for millions of years. There has always been a war between the north and south.”
“Today, I will use this grand event to invite all my fellow disciples to discuss the Dao in a friendly manner. Let’s compare our cultivation levels and stop here.”
After he finished speaking, everyone present put their palms together. “Alright!”
Then, as the most outstanding young representatives of the South Buddha Sect and the North Buddha Sect, Monk Tianzen and the Golden Roc Dharma King were the first to appear.
Their discussion determined the future trend of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm’s Buddhist sects for the next hundred thousand years, so it was especially important.
