Chapter 390, Celestial Lotus
"Hahaha, it's not too late to be a teacher!"
With Mingxin's excited and surprised voice, a middle-aged monk with grass shoes, a robe, a bare chest and a bare belly, and a smile came to everyone.
Seeing the person coming, the Buddhist disciples were shocked, and they all bent down and saluted, "Meet the Immeasurable Master and Ancestor." ”
Hearing the title of the Buddhist disciple, Lianzhi and the others changed their faces, and they also bowed their heads respectfully.
Mingxin looked at the big-bellied monk in front of him with joy, and his eyes were slightly red: "Master, you are finally back." ”
This irresponsible master has been gone for tens or hundreds of years, so that she has a master and no master.
Wuliang looked at Mingxin with a kind face, and saw the red mole between her eyebrows, and a trace of surprise crossed her eyes.
Is it finally coming back?
After a while, Wuliang said with a smile: "Yes, cultivation has made progress, it seems that you have cultivated well in the years that the teacher is away." ”
Mingxin immediately replied: "The disciple does not dare to forget the master's teachings, and he has not slackened for a day. ”
Wuliang nodded with a smile: "Cultivation has to be a combination of work and rest, you don't have to push yourself too hard, just go with the flow." As he spoke, his gaze quickly swept over the net bottle and willow branch in Mingxin's hand.
Seeing his gaze, Mingxin quickly handed the net bottle and willow branch forward: "Master, this is the treasure I got in this secret realm, and Yan Ran took me to find it. ”
Hearing this, he swept past all the disciples of the Buddha clan and the people of the lotus clan, and his eyes quickly fell on Yan Ran, who seemed to be a little afraid to look at him directly, and his eyebrows were raised.
At this time, although Yan Ran retracted her heavenly eyes, the light that illuminated her entire world turned golden had not completely disappeared, so she lowered her eyelids and did not look directly at the immeasurable.
When he heard Mingxin's words, Yan Ran didn't raise his eyes, and hurriedly bowed to this master, who was more profound than the Bodhisattva.
"No need to be polite. Immeasurable looked at everyone with a smile on his face, shook the pu fan in his hand, and in an instant, everyone straightened up.
Buddhist disciple: "Thank you Immeasurable Master Ancestor!"
People of the Lotus Clan: "Thank you, Master." ”
Yan Ran and the second demon also straightened up at the right time.
Wuliang smiled and looked at the Buddhist disciple: "What were you saying just now that you want to keep for my unsuccessful apprentice?"
When the Buddhist disciples heard this, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly explained: "Uncle Shi, we just want to see the willow branches in Uncle Mingxin's hands, and we don't want to keep anything. ”
Hearing that everyone called him changed, Mingxin pursed his lips.
In the past, because the master didn't care about herself, and she was a lay disciple, the disciples of Puzhu Temple didn't take her very seriously.
Wuliang glanced at the willow branch in Mingxin's hand, and said with a smile: "Since this thing is my apprentice's chance, I think, you don't have to ask." ”
The tone is gentle, but it still makes people feel a hint of coercion.
Fine sweat oozed from the forehead of the Buddhist master who had asked Mingxin to hand over the net bottle and willow branches, and he said with a very respectful expression: "Obey the orders of my uncle and ancestor." ”
"What about you, and why are you blocking my path?"
Wuliang's gaze suddenly turned to Lianzhi and the others.
Although they were still smiling and kind, the light in their eyes that seemed to penetrate their hearts made Lianzhi and the others feel trembling in their hearts.
Liansheng withstood the pressure, and was about to repeat the previous statement, but he was preempted by Lianzhi: "Master Hui, everything is a misunderstanding." ”
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Wuliang smiled meaningfully, and then looked at Ming Xin and Yan Ran with a smile, "Since it is a misunderstanding, it is good to solve it, you two can't be disrespectful to the immortals because of this little thing." ”
After speaking, his gaze turned to Lianzhi and the others, "Of course, you won't embarrass these two juniors anymore, right?"
Seeing that Wuliang not only wanted to protect his mind, but also protected Yan Ran, his heart sank slightly, knowing that they couldn't move Yan Ran in Lingzhu Mountain, and replied a little unnaturally: "Of course." ”
"The Lotus Clan has always been trustworthy. Wuliang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the lotus branch with a smile, and suddenly said, "This donor, the foundation seems to be a little unstable!"
Lianzhi's heart was shocked, his injuries had almost healed in the Foguang Merit Pool of the West Holy Palace, and now he was no different from ordinary people, the abbot of Puzhu Temple couldn't see that his foundation was not complete, but this master could see it at a glance.
What does this mean?
It shows that the strength of the master in front of him is stronger than that of the abbot of Pudu Temple.
You must know that the strength of the abbots of the holy places of the Buddha clan is comparable to that of Taiyi Golden Immortals.
More powerful than Taiyi Golden Immortal, this is a bit... Buddha?!
Lianzhi was frightened by her own speculation.
How could the Buddha appear in front of everyone so unkemptly and swaggeringly?
But if you are really a Buddha ...
Then he had to think carefully about how to seize the Lotus treasure in the hands of that mortal.
Then, listen to the immeasurable continued.
"The foundation is not stable is not a trivial matter, since you are injured, you should recuperate, although it is a good thing to go out to practice, but it is also easy to encounter all kinds of dangers, if there are some obsessions in the heart, it is very likely to cause the foundation to be damaged again, and the Buddha light merit pool of the West Holy Palace is not omnipotent. ”
After saying that, Wuliang laughed again, regardless of the ugly and scary lotus branches.
Seeing that Wuliang took the opportunity to knock and warn the people of the Lotus Clan, Mingxin and Yan Ran looked at each other and smiled.
Yan Ran's heart was full of emotion.
Sure enough, fist hardness is the last word!
Thinking about how arrogant the people of the Lotus Clan were just now, now facing the master of Mingxin, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he has to endure it obediently.
Mingxin: "Master, the secret realm has been almost explored, let's go out, right?"
"Good. ”
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for everyone to react, with a wave of the pu fan in Wuliang's hand, he disappeared from everyone's sight with Mingxin, Yan Ran and the two demons.
It wasn't until they couldn't see them that Lianzhi and the others and the Buddhist disciples breathed a sigh of relief, and then, the two sides glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and separated.
As soon as the Buddhist disciple left, Liansheng looked at Lianzhi: "What should I do now? After all, this is the territory of the Buddha people, and we can't go too far against them. Also, are you sure that mortal female cultivator has the Lotus Clan's supreme treasure on her body?"
Lianzhi glanced at Lian Sheng, and his tone was cold: "Do you think the news I exchanged for the heavy damage of the foundation will be fake?"
Liansheng frowned: "I didn't mean that, I just think we should be cautious, with that master here, we can't touch that mortal female cultivator." ”
Lianzhi's eyes narrowed: "You can't act rashly, but someone can do it on our behalf." ”
Liansheng raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Lianzhi: "I heard that Kun Kite also came to Duzhou this time. ”
Lian Sheng frowned: "Kun Kite is not a good stubble, cooperate with him, be careful not to put us in." ”
Lianzhi said confidently: "Don't worry, the demon clan will not dare to turn against our lotus clan." To be precise, all the races in the fairy world will not easily turn their faces against us. ”
Hearing this, Lian Sheng showed curiosity: "I've always wondered about this question, although the power of my clan is not weak, but compared with the Five Holy Lands and the Demon Clan, it is obviously in a weak position, why... ”
Lianzhi smiled and took over: "Why is there no one side who is embarrassed or annexes us?"
Lian Sheng nodded: "Not bad." ”
He could feel it, no, it should be said that every Lotus clan could feel it, whether it was the Demon Clan, the Human Clan, or the Buddha Clan, they all wanted to take the Lotus Clan as their own, but none of them took action.
To say that their Lotus Clan, in ancient times, was still a weak race attached to the Demon Clan, but I don't know when it began, the Lotus Clan slowly gathered together and became a force that could not be ignored in the fairy world.
He had never been able to understand what was the root of the Lotus Clan's steady foothold in the immortal realm.
Lian Zhi smiled and looked up at the endless sky: "Do you know where our ancient ancestor came from?"
"Huh?" Liansheng didn't quite understand Lianzhi's words.
"Our Ancient Ancestor is not a native of the Immortal Realm. When he said this, a look of pride appeared on Lianzhi's face.
Liansheng's eyes widened: "Gu Ancestor is not an immortal being?"
Lotus Branch: "Of course not, if the Ancient Ancestor is just an ordinary Lotus Clan, how can the Immortal Clans treat my Lotus Clan... No, it should be said that the Tianlian clan treats them differently. ”
"The Celestial Lotus Clan?"
Lotus Branch: "Yes, our ancient ancestor came to the fairy world with the Tianhe, and was called Tianlian by the various clans in the fairy world at that time. Originally, we should have called it the Tianlian Clan, but in order to integrate and bring together the native Lotus Clan in the Immortal Realm, we were collectively called the Lotus Clan. You and I are actually the descendants of the Tianlian lineage. ”
"No wonder ... Liansheng's face was sudden.
No wonder their vein has a transcendent status in the Lotus Clan, and it turns out that they have such a strong heel.
Immediately, Liansheng looked puzzled again: "Just because the ancient ancestor came with the heavenly river, the clans in the immortal world looked at us differently?"
"Just because?!" Lotus Branch was angry by Liansheng's casual attitude, "That's the Heavenly River, where the energy that maintains the operation of the Immortal Realm and the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds lies, if it wasn't for the exhaustion of the Heavenly River in ancient times, how could Heavenly Court and the Nine Heavens be destroyed?"
"What does this have to do with us?" said Liansheng, still wondering.
Lianzhi looked at Liansheng, thought about it and said, "Of course it matters, you may not know if you were born late, after the destruction of Heavenly Court and Nine Heavens, Tianhe appeared once." ”
"When?"
"When the ancient ancestor was born, that is, when my grandfather was born, although Tianhe was just a flash in the day, it also greatly improved the immortal qi of the fairy world. This is the fundamental reason why the various clans in the fairy realm treat us with great courtesy, because our Heavenly Lotus Clan can summon the Heavenly River. ”
Liansheng stood on the spot in a daze, a little uncomfortable with the supreme aura that was suddenly added to his body.
Seeing him like this, Lian Zhi shook his head and smiled, thinking that when he knew the heel of their clan, he was not like this, shocked, unbelievable, and a little complacent.
"No wonder Zezhou, where my Lotus Clan is located, is the place where the luck of the immortal world is the strongest. After a long while, Liansheng spoke.
Hearing this, Lianzhi smiled proudly.
Suddenly, Liansheng asked again, "Gu Ancestor... Is he still here?"
Lianzhi's face was straight: "Of course, Gu Zu is just sleeping, and when Tianhe reappears, he will be able to wake up." ”
If it weren't for this reason, the various clans in the immortal world would not have been so tolerant of them when the bloodline of the Heavenly Lotus line was getting thinner and thinner after it had been reproduced from generation to generation.
"Now that all walks of life are recovering rapidly, I think it's not far from the reappearance of Tianhe, right?"
------
At the same time, Yan Ran and the others had already left the secret realm and were flying towards Zizhu Village.
Mingxin looked at the master with a leisurely expression, and introduced Yan Ran with a smile: "Master, this is Yan Ran, she is a friend of the music sound fairy, and now, she is also my friend, and now she lives in Zizhu Village." ”
Wuliang looked back at Yan Ran, and asked with a smile on his face: "This seat looks at your face, can you be willing to be a disciple with me?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Ran was stunned, and Mingxin was also stunned.
It took a while for the two to come to their senses.
Yan Ran didn't know how to answer for a while, but Mingxin was happy.
Mingxin: "Yan Ran, you can agree quickly, although my master is a little unreliable and irresponsible, but after you become his apprentice, the two of us are the same sect and can cultivate together." ”
Mingxin's words made Wuliang's cheeks twitch uncontrollably, and he wanted to refute it, but his apprentice was telling the truth, so he could only listen sullenly.
Yan Ran's face was a little stiff: "Even if we don't do the same sect, we can cultivate together." ”
Sensing Yan Ran's reluctance, Wuliang raised his eyebrows: "What, you don't want to?
Yan Ran hurriedly shook his head and explained: "No, it's me, I have never thought of joining Buddhism before. ”
Although the master in front of her is likely to be a great power of the Buddha clan, is it a little too sudden to let her enter the Buddha as soon as they meet?
Also, she really didn't think about becoming a monk!
Immeasurable: "Then you can think about it now." ”
In this regard, Yan Ran could only bow his head in contemplation.
Wuliang glanced at Yan Ran, and then continued: "Look, as soon as you arrived in the fairy world, you came to Duzhou, which means that you have a relationship with Buddhism. Also, looking at your face, I calculated that after you join the Buddha Sect, it will make your path of cultivation smoother. ”
Hearing this, Yan Ran didn't know what to do.
She came to Duzhou first, is she related to Buddhism?
Wouldn't the other people who came to Duzhou join the Buddhism?
Also, the great power of the Buddha race, when did you change your physiognomy?
Feeling Yan Ran's embarrassment, Mingxin hurriedly changed the topic: "Master, you have been out for so long this time, why do you suddenly want to come back?"
Wuliang didn't think about letting Yan Ran agree immediately, so he followed Mingxin's words and said: "The recovery of luck in the West, coupled with the vision of the condensation of the Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit, will inevitably lead to Duzhou becoming the focus of all parties, and I am afraid of causing trouble, so I rushed back." ”
Mingxin nodded: "During this time, there are indeed a lot of people from other states in Duzhou. ”
While speaking, Zizhu Village arrived.
"Go back, go back to Puzhu Temple for the teacher. After speaking, Wuliang looked at Yan Ran again, "Xiao You, let's think about the previous proposal of this seat, joining the Buddhist sect may have some constraints, but it can also save a lot of troubles." ”
Hearing this, Yan Ran's heart moved.
After joining the Buddhist Gate, she should be able to get rid of the love calamity imposed on her body by the immortals under the moon, right?
Looking at Yan Ran, who was thinking, Wuliang smiled, and with a wave of his hand, he disappeared in place.
As soon as Wuliang left, Mingxin immediately said, "Yan Ran, why don't you want to join the Buddhism?"
Yan Ran sighed: "There are too many rules and precepts in Buddhism, I don't like to be restrained, I like to be free, and I don't want to be bound." ”
Mingxin: "But I don't feel any restraint!"
After a period of time, Mingxin took Yan Ran to Puzhu Temple several times to listen to the immeasurable lectures.
Yan Ran was not reluctant to accept such a puja, on the contrary, he was still fascinated by it, but he didn't have any thoughts about joining the Buddhist sect in his heart.
It doesn't matter if she thinks about it, or if she doesn't have a pure heart, anyway, she doesn't think about it.
And Wuliang seems to have forgotten to say that he wanted to take her as an apprentice.
As a result, the matter of apprenticeship is no longer over.
------
Puzhu Temple.
Mingxin looked at the immeasurable master sitting on the futon, and asked curiously, "Master, why do you want to take Yan Ran as a disciple?"
Wuliang slowly opened his eyes: "Your friend is very lucky. ”
Hearing this, Mingxin was overjoyed: "I also feel it, if it weren't for her, I might not be able to find the net bottle and willow branches." ”
Immediately, I listened to Wuliang again.
"However, her calamity is also severe. ”
Mingxin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What calamity?"
Immeasurable: "Her two spirit pets have become immortals, but she hasn't been there, haven't you thought about why?"
Mingxin was shocked: "You mean that the Heavenly Tribulation of Yan Ran's Immortal is a special calamity?"
Wuliang didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Ming asked anxiously, "Master, is there a way to help her get through?"
"Didn't the teacher say, let her join the Buddhism. Speaking of this, Wuliang sighed, "It's a pity... In the end, it still has nothing to do with Buddhism. ”
