However, the Heavenly Dragon Temple was located at the top of the Heavenly Dragon Mountain. It was not easy for ordinary people to reach the top. Qin Hao saw many people sitting on the big rocks to rest, panting.
This mountain path naturally could not stop Qin Wu. He walked as if he was flying, and in half an incense's time, he had already arrived at the top of the mountain.
Qin Hao saw that not far away, there was an ancient pine tree standing tall, and an ancient and solemn temple was sitting behind it. At the entrance of the temple, there were several monks dressed in monk robes standing quietly. On the plaque at the door, there were three big words carved in calligraphy: Heavenly Dragon Temple. The artistic conception contained in these three big words made people feel solemn. It was definitely left behind by a martial arts grandmaster!
"Hmm? " I wonder where this junior brother came from…" Just as Qin Hao was engrossed in his reading, a monk in his thirties who was online at the door noticed Qin Hao. He saw that Qin Hao was dressed in monk robes, but he did not look like someone from the Heavenly Dragon Temple, so he took the initiative to ask. He felt that Qin Hao might have been sent by another temple.
There were thousands of temples in the Great Xia Dynasty, but all of them were led by the Heavenly Dragon Temple. There would often be monks from other temples coming to visit the Heavenly Dragon Temple to obtain scriptures.
"I'm from the Great Green Mountain Temple. I've come to the Heavenly Dragon Temple on the orders of my master, Master Xuan Ting. Please pass this letter to Master Xuan Yi for me.”Qin Hao said politely. At the same time, he took out a letter from his luggage. This letter was left by Master Xuan Ting. He told him to come to Tian Long Temple if he managed to form the Supreme Force and give this letter to Master Xuan Yi.
"Grandmaster Xuan Yi?" The monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple at the entrance were all surprised when they heard this. Master Xuan Yi was an elder of Heavenly Dragon Temple, and his status was extremely respected!
"Junior Brother, please wait a moment." Immediately, these monks did not dare to be negligent. Immediately, someone took Qin Wu's letter and quickly left.
In a simple room, a white-browed monk with a kind face was sitting cross-legged quietly, chanting scriptures and striking a wooden fish.
"Zhiqing, is there anything?" The white-browed monk stopped chanting and asked a monk who was waiting quietly at the door.
"Elder Xuanyi, a young monk came to the entrance of Heavenly Dragon Temple just now. He said that he is Master Xuan Ting's disciple and asked me to pass this letter to you.”The monk hurriedly stepped forward.
"Junior…Junior Brother Xuan Ting?" The white-browed monk was Master Xuan Yi. He was stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
"Who is this Master Xuan Ting? There was no one named Xuan Ting among the elders of the Xuan generation who could make Elder Xuan Yi's emotions fluctuate!”The monk was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.
Master Xuan Yi opened the letter and read it carefully. A trace of a senior's expression appeared on his face. After a long time, he sighed." Junior Brother Xuan Ting has already passed away…That's right, the injuries he suffered back then have already crippled his cultivation, and he only has a little more than ten years left to live…"
Master Xuan Yi recalled what happened back then and sighed helplessly. Then, a strange expression appeared on his face."Junior Brother Xuan Ting has accepted a disciple? The letter said that as long as this young man named Duzhen cultivates Supreme Force, he will be accepted by our Heavenly Dragon Temple…"
"This young man is only 17 or 18 years old, and his cultivation technique should be the Golden Bell Shield, which is famous for being difficult to cultivate. There are less than three people in the Heavenly Dragon Temple who can cultivate the Golden Bell Shield to the fourth stage at the age of 17 or 18…All of them have been nourished by various spiritual herbs since they were young.”Master Xuan Yi frowned.
The Four Great Divine Arts of Buddhism were the Child Arts, Golden Bell Shield, Marrow Cleansing Classic, and Tendon Changing Classic. Among the Four Great Arts, the Child Arts was the least difficult, followed by Golden Bell Shield. The cultivation of Golden Bell Shield was slow and had a great requirement on one's root bone. If one did not have spiritual medicine to cleanse one's physique, one might even injure one's body.
In the Heavenly Dragon Temple, there were indeed people who had cultivated the Golden Bell Shield to the fourth level at the age of eighteen, but they had all bathed in various medicinal baths since they were young, and all of them had outstanding foundations.
Qin Hao had been cultivating under Master Xuan Ting, so he definitely didn't have such conditions. But how could he have cultivated the Golden Bell Shield to the fourth level at the age of eighteen?
"Could it be that he didn't follow Junior Brother Xuan Ting's arrangement and came to Heavenly Dragon Temple before he had cultivated the Golden Bell Shield to the fourth level?”Master Xuan Yi quickly thought of this and felt that Qin Hao might have gone against Master Xuan Ting's arrangements. This made him slightly angry.
"Bring Duzhen to me." Master Xuan Yi immediately stood up.
"Yes." The monk did not dare to delay and immediately left the courtyard.
"Junior Brother Duzhen, Elder Xuanyi asked me to bring you to him.”Monk Zhi Qing arrived at the entrance of Heavenly Dragon Temple. After seeing Qin Wu, he immediately said.
"Alright, I'll have to trouble Senior Brother to lead the way." Qin Hao nodded and followed Monk Zhiqing into the Heavenly Dragon Temple. They arrived at a courtyard house.
In the courtyard, a white-browed monk stood quietly.
"You're Du Zhen, Junior Brother Xuan Ting's disciple?”The white-browed monk sized up Qin Hao and nodded slightly. Qin Hao was tall and sturdy, handsome, and talented.
"En, disciple greets Martial Uncle Xuan Yi.”Qin Hao bowed slightly. This person must be Master Xuan Ting's senior brother, Xuan Yi.
However, the white-browed monk, who puzzled Qin Hao, seemed to be a little cold to him for some reason.
The white-browed monk stared at Qin Hao and said," Duzhen, the reason why your master Xuan Ting asked you to cultivate the Supreme Force and come to Heavenly Dragon Temple was because he saw that your character was not suitable for being a monk. Therefore, unless you cultivate the Golden Bell Shield to the fourth level before the age of 40 and prove that you have the qualifications to become a martial arts monk, Heavenly Dragon Temple will not accept you."”
Qin Hao finally understood why Master Xuan Ting had left such a condition before he died.
No one knew a disciple better than a master. Xuan Ting had known since he was young that reciting scriptures and cultivating Buddhism were not suitable for Qin Hao. Heavenly Dragon Temple valued these aspects very much. Fortunately, Qin Hao showed a high interest in martial arts. Heavenly Dragon Temple was very lenient with the conditions of a Warrior Monk. They did not need to be proficient in many Buddhist scriptures. As long as they had enough martial arts talent, they could enter the Warrior Monk Yard and specialize in martial arts!
(There won't be many plots in Tianlong Temple ~)
