With the help of the light from the oil lamp in the secret room, Xiao Ji saw Master Ku Rong's face clearly and was shocked.
The left side of Master Ku Rong's face was red and smooth like a baby's skin, but the right side was shriveled and dry without a trace of moisture.
"Master Ku Rong, how did you cultivate the Art of Withering Dhyana?”Seeing Master Ku Rong's honor, Xiao Ji asked curiously.
Master Ku Rong sighed. He was meditating not only to cultivate but also to prevent others from seeing him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ji still saw it!
After a long while, Master Ku Rong finally said," The final state of the Art of Withering and Prosperity is 'neither withering nor flourishing' and it will be destroyed in the eight states of 'constant, happy, self, purity, impermanence, no joy, no self, and no cleanness'. But how can such a state be achieved by ordinary people overnight? I've been cultivating for forty years, but I've only reached half of this realm, which is the Half Withered Half Flourishing Realm.”
Xiao Ji also felt that Zen was not something a human could do. Only a senior monk like Master Ku Rong would be willing to spend 40 years.
"Master Ku Rong, do you still want the Six Pulses Divine Sword Manual from me?”
Admirable as he was, some things still needed to be made clear.
"Forget it, forget it…For many years, the Heavenly Dragon Temple had been embroiled in disputes in the martial arts world because of the Six Pulses Divine Sword Manual. Now that it was obtained by Almsgiver Xiao, it might be a good thing.”
Master Ku Rong's perspective was naturally different from ordinary people. Heavenly Dragon Temple had spent too much manpower guarding the sword manual for generations. Now that the sword manual was taken away by Xiao Ji, Heavenly Dragon Temple would no longer be targeted by those martial arts masters with ulterior motives.
This was also a form of release!
"Since Master Ku Rong has said so, then I won't be polite.”
Xiao Ji opened the door of the secret room and prepared to leave.
"Almsgiver Xiao, if Heavenly Dragon Temple is in trouble, please lend a hand on account of the Six Pulses Divine Sword Manual!”
When Xiao Ji left the secret chamber, Zen Master Ku Rong's plea came from behind him.
Xiao Ji didn't respond. He just wanted to go back to sleep!
......
The next morning, the temple bell of Heavenly Dragon Temple rang continuously. Usually, when such a bell rang, something big must have happened in the temple.
Xiao Ji also went to the main hall with some depression. He should be sleeping early in the morning, so why did he create so many troubles?
When he arrived at the main hall, Xiao Ji saw a monk in a royal robe standing in the middle of the hall. He was about 50 years old and wore plain clothes and straw shoes. There was nothing special about him.
However, the monk was in high spirits and seemed to be glowing with treasure light.
"This humble monk is the Tubo Nation Master, Jiu Mozhi. Greetings, eminent monks of the Heavenly Dragon Temple!”The monk quickly swept his gaze across everyone in the hall. A strange look appeared in his eyes as he immediately spoke.
"Amitabha. Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!”The abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple, Benyin, pressed his palms together and asked,""May I know why Imperial Preceptor has come to my Heavenly Dragon Temple?”
"I came here to fulfill the last wish of an old friend. I want to borrow your temple's Six Pulses Divine Sword Manual.”Jiu Mozhi didn't waste time and directly stated his intentions.
"What?"
The abbot and the other masters 'expressions changed. It turned out that the Tubo national master had come with ill intentions. He was here for the treasure of their Heavenly Dragon Temple.
Xiao Ji also sneered. Jiu Mozhi's 'borrowing' was a nice word, but he was actually here to rob.
"I'm definitely not an unreasonable person. I've brought three ultimate skills to exchange for your Six Pulses Divine Sword. These three are Flower-pinching Finger, Doraemon Leaf Finger, and Formless Finger of Disaster, one of Shaolin Temple's seventy-two ultimate skills.”
Seeing that no one from the Heavenly Dragon Temple responded, Jiu Mozhi made his offer.
He didn't believe that he couldn't exchange for Six Pulses Divine Sword with Shaolin's three finger techniques.
"Amitabha! The Six Pulses Divine Sword is the ultimate technique of the Heavenly Dragon Temple. No matter how many martial arts secret manuals you use, I will never agree to it.”
Ben Yin and the others also let out a long breath because the person who said this was Master Ku Rong, who was guarding the sword manual.
"This must be Master Ku Rong. Do you think I'm not sincere enough?”
Jiu Mozhi looked over and saw an old monk sitting facing the wall. He immediately guessed his identity.
