Chapter 31: Watching the Battle
Although Xin Yan did not open his mouth to answer Chunting, from his slight nod, we knew that he was willing to cooperate with our actions.
Although we still don't know why Yebai is revered as the guru of Daxiangguoji Temple, and what is the mystery of this guru's identity, it is clear from Xinyan's current behavior that Daxiangguoji has respect for this so-called guru.
The three of us and the others don't have any contact with the Great Xiangguo Temple, but now, just by virtue of our status as Yebai's friends, we can get this master Xinyan, who is of the same generation as the presiding abbot, to cooperate with us, and I have to say that this is enough to surprise us.
Although we were communicating along the way, there was no pause at each other's feet, so soon, the two sides were already on the verge of breaking out in our sight.
Seeing the figure in front of him appear, Xinyan took the lead in stopping and turned back to us.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait here, the poor monks will go to the warrior monks in the temple and tell them to show mercy when they fight."
"Amitabha."
Chunting held the Buddha in one hand, and replied respectfully to the heart after chanting the Buddha's name.
"Then I'll wait here, everything is a hard and strict master."
Hearing Chunting's answer, Xinyan nodded slightly, and under the gaze of the three of us, he slowly walked towards the two sides in his sight.
Although Xin Yan seemed to be moving slowly, we were surprised to find that after only three or two steps, he had already arrived at the side of the warrior monk in the temple, and then whispered something in the ear of the leader of it.
Seeing this scene, Chunting sighed in a low voice as if talking to himself.
"It seems that we all underestimate this monk named Xinyan, this Xinyan is indeed a high-ranking monk, and his cultivation is so unfathomable."
Hearing Chun Ting's self-talk, I couldn't help but ask him.
"What's the matter, Chunting, did you find something?"
Chun Ting first looked into the distance, and only then did he speak after seeing that the two sides in the distance still had no intention of fighting.
"Han Chuan, do you think the distance between us here and the place where the two sides are facing each other is close or far?"
After raising my eyes and looking at it, I replied to Chunting without hesitation.
"Actually, this distance is relatively moderate, it can be said that it is not close or far, but if you have to count it, it should be a little farther."
Since we wanted to test the true strength of Ling Xuan and the others, and as long as they saw us, they would definitely not make a move with the monks in the temple, so Xinyan finally chose to stop the place, which was actually some distance away from the place where the two sides confronted each other.
It's just that because of the high terrain where we are now, we can clearly see the two sides of the confrontation.
Hearing my answer, Chunting nodded slightly and continued to guide me to think downward.
"Since we are still some distance from the place where we are facing each other, can you get to the place where the two sides are facing each other in a few breaths?"
"Nature can't be ......"
I didn't hesitate to answer Chunting, but before I could finish speaking, I understood what he meant by his question.
Just now, I saw with my own eyes that the heart of the strict movement, which had been extremely slow all the way, only took three or two steps from us to the place where the two sides were facing each other, and I asked myself that I had absolutely no such ability.
Seeing my abrupt expression, Chunting knew that I had discovered something strange, so he explained to me.
"I don't know if he deliberately let us find out, or if he didn't pay attention to it and forgot to conceal it, in short, Xin Yan just used the divine foot power of the six divine powers of Buddhism in our gaze, which is why he rushed to the side of the warrior monk in three or two steps."
Hearing Chun Ting's explanation, I finally understood why he would say that his cultivation was unfathomable.
According to legend, Buddhism has six great supernatural powers, which are six kinds of free and unhindered powers that transcend the human world, namely the Heavenly Eye Pass, the Heavenly Ear Pass, the Other Heart Pass, the Fate Pass, the Leakage Pass, and the Divine Foot Pass that Xin Yan just exerted in front of us.
The so-called divine foot pass, that is, the ability to appear freely and unhindered, is somewhat similar to the so-called shrinking of the ground in Taoism.
There are even rumors in the market that when the cultivation of this supernatural power reaches a certain level, they can even use this supernatural power to travel through space and time, come and go freely, and do whatever they want, as if they have entered a no-man's land in the Three Realms.
Speaking of this, Chun Ting looked at Master Xinyan, who was silently leading the way, and continued.
"And if Ling Xuan and the others are not as good as others, they will be defeated by the monks in the Great Xiangguo Temple in the battle, but as long as Master Xinyan is present, the monks who want to come to the temple will not hurt people, at most, it is just to the point."
"Since there will be nothing to lose from either side winning or losing, why don't we seize this rare opportunity to verify the true strength of this group of people and find out everyone's shortcomings in the battle?"
Hearing Chunting say his thoughts, I couldn't help but glance at each other, and after some serious thinking, the two of us nodded silently, and found that this was indeed the case.
Although Ling Xuan is not good at words when he is with us, he has followed the Spring Pavilion for many years, and he has already had the reputation of the Lord of Lingyun Pavilion outside, and it can be said that he is not leaky in dealing with people, and now although he is worried about our safety and enters the Great Xiangguo Temple at night, he will naturally have a lot of plans in his heart.
Without the approval of Xinyan, the monks who blocked Ling Xuan and the others would definitely not reveal our whereabouts, and since this was the case, then the two sides would definitely fight, even if Ling Xuan and the others had the upper hand, but with his character, he would definitely not secretly kill the monks in the temple.
In the same way, if the monks in the temple are advanced in cultivation, Ling Xuan and the others are invincible to the monks, but the monks are compassionate, as long as the heart is strict, the monks will definitely not kill Ling Xuan and the others.
In other words, with neither side suffering any losses, this is a rare opportunity to test the strength of everyone.
Seeing that Yi He and I had figured it out, Chun Ting smiled faintly and asked Master Xinyan, who was leading the way.
"Master Xinyan, the exchange between us just now was not deliberately hidden from you, you should have heard it too, I wonder if the master is willing to cooperate with me?"
"Amitabha."
"In the case of a few of us leaving, this group of people will definitely be headed by Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan has followed me for many years, I know him very well, although he is worried about our safety at the moment because he is worried about our safety at night to break into the Great Xiangguo Temple, but he knows in his heart, he will definitely not hurt people here."
