Nan Jiantian suddenly had a flash of inspiration as a strange image appeared in his mind. The Buddha sat quietly under the bodhi tree, comprehending the Great Dao. He was like a spring breeze, full of vigor…
And this tree was the Bodhi Tree that accompanied the Buddha as he grew up. In his early years, he was clear and enlightened under the Bodhi Tree, and his cultivation was successful.
"Could it be that this stone is the seed of the Bodhi Tree? Do I have to imitate Buddha and nurture such a seed? Since the Buddha could comprehend the Dao under the Bodhi tree, it must be of great benefit to his cultivation.”
Nan Jiantian left the room and found a sunny corner in the courtyard. He used his sword to dig a pit of moderate depth and placed the Bodhi Seed in. He poured some water over it and carefully covered it with soft soil.
He patted the soil off his hands and looked at the small mound under his feet with a satisfied expression.
He only hoped that one day, the Bodhi Seed would take root and sprout, and grow rapidly. When he thought of the adult Bodhi Tree of Buddha, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
At this moment, the room suddenly flickered. Then, a loud sound rang out, and the entire courtyard trembled.
"Did something happen?"
Nan Jiantian was shocked. One had to know that all the treasures left behind by the Buddha were in the room. If anything happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nan Jiantian's heart was burning with anxiety. He was about to push open the door and enter to investigate the situation.
However, the moment he pushed open the door, an unparalleled aura burst out and sent him flying.
Nan Jiantian was sent flying backward. He was forced back a few steps to stabilize his body, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Who is it that is playing tricks on me?”
After a bout of wild laughter, a black-robed youth appeared out of thin air. His devilish face broke out into a cold smile, and his exposed skin was as smooth as milk. It emitted a lustrous glow, like the pure white light of the moon.
The young man looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, but his eyes were cold and ruthless that did not match his age.
Nan Jiantian looked at the youth quietly. His intuition told him that this youth was not human because he could not sense any human aura from him.
What shocked him the most was that the young man was wearing a Buddhist kasaya, holding a magic staff, and holding the Reincarnation Prayer Beads and other Buddhist treasures in his hands. Everything seemed so natural, as if they had returned to their original owners.
"Who are you?" Nan Jiantian asked coldly.
He had already made a guess about the identity of the youth in front of him.
"I believe you have already guessed my identity?”The black-robed youth didn't answer and asked back. Seeing Nanjian Tian's suspicious expression, he continued,""Not bad! I'm the artifact spirit of the Hidden Magic Staff. I've cultivated with Buddha for a thousand years and have developed intelligence.”
As expected. Nan Jiantian revealed a look of understanding.
"I really don't understand why Master chose you as the Tribulation Taker.”
"Do you mean that the Buddha is not dead?”Nan Jiantian asked.
"How can a cultivator at this level be killed so easily? His current state is mysterious. He is neither dead nor alive. He has already entered the withering state. Whether he can survive this tribulation depends on his luck. I hope he didn't misjudge you.”
"Since I am a Tribulation Taker, what should I do? Is there any way to remedy the situation?”Nanjian said.
"You? What you can do now is to wait quietly. You're too weak and can't help him. I understand now. The Buddha chose you to inherit his alms bowl out of a sense of self-blame. He committed the biggest mistake in his life, and he felt guilty towards you.”
"What do you mean?" Nan Jiantian realized that there was something else going on.
Back then, he did not have any foundation for cultivation, but Buddha chose him to inherit the Tao technique. Could it be that Buddha was seriously injured at that time and did not have much time left for Knowing Destiny? At that time, he had no other choice but to pass on his cultivation technique to him?
"Hahaha…You don't really think that Buddha chose you because you're so talented, do you? That was because the Buddha had committed a crime at the Sunset Mountain and had no choice.”The black-robed youth laughed maniacally.
"No, I can't! Impossible, how could Master be the culprit who massacred Sunset Village? Impossible! You must be the one who wants to take Master's treasure and talk nonsense here. Master will not let you off even if he is in heaven.”
In an instant, Nan Jiantian felt that his faith had completely collapsed, and the world had completely fallen.
A generation of saints and buddhas were merciful and saved people. How could such a righteous person be the murderer of 108 lives in Sunset Mountain? This was unbelievable.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. There's no need to twist the truth. The Hidden Magic Staff, Buddha's Cassock, Reincarnation Prayer Beads, and all the other treasures originally belonged to me. Now, they're just returning to their original owners. Moreover, you lost the golden alms bowl, which is enough to show that you don't have the ability to protect the Buddha's inheritance. Although the Buddha's alms bowl is still in your hands, you are not qualified to receive my recognition. From today onwards, I will draw a clear line between myself and the Buddha. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me!”
As he spoke, the black-robed youth pointed his spiritual finger at the lower realm, and a clear boundary was carved under Nan Jiantian's feet.
After doing all this, the black-robed youth took the treasures and flew away. In a few breaths, he disappeared into the horizon.
In the room, Nan Jiantian knelt in front of the Buddha in a daze. He looked at the teacher who taught him when he first started his cultivation.
If not for the enlightenment of Buddha, his path would not have been so smooth, and it was hard to say if he would have even died.
But now, he had received news that the Buddha was actually the culprit who had destroyed the village.
He was once a teacher, but now he was a murderer. This kind of reversal made him feel at a loss and even lost for a while.
"No, I can't! "Master is merciful. He definitely won't do this. There must be something hidden about this. I will definitely investigate the truth and prove Master's innocence.”
With this in mind, Nan Jiantian concealed his sadness and kept the Buddha's remains back into his storage ring to prevent unwanted trouble from being peeped at by others.
At this moment, the void behind Nan Jiantian shook and a strange two-dimensional space appeared. A mysterious black-robed man appeared behind him.
However, he did not seem to notice this. It was as if the two of them were not in the same space.
"Where have I seen this person before?" The mysterious man looked at the youth in front of him with a strange expression and thought to himself,"Just now, I clearly felt the aura of the Buddha appear here. Why did it disappear for no reason? Could it be that this person did it? No, that aura had already left this place, and even the fluctuation of that spiritual power had not dissipated. Buddha, are you back again?"
The mysterious black-robed man muttered to himself. He immediately tore through the air and chased after the black-robed youth. The strange space where he stood automatically closed.
In the room, it was as if nothing had happened. Nan Jiantian knew nothing about it, and he did not notice that a mysterious person had barged into the room.
