Silence!
The atmosphere was strange!
The heads of the Dharma Yard and Arhat Hall were dumbstruck. They stared at Liaochen with their mouths agape. Liaochen's words lingered in their ears, unable to dissipate.
Hui Xing was also stunned.
What did they hear just now?
" S-Son of Buddha?!"
Hui Xing's throat was dry. He opened his mouth and looked at Fang Zhang Liaochen with a face full of confusion and shock.
Buddhist Sons of Buddha…
How old was this title?
In the past 300 years, there had been no more Sons of Buddha in Shaolin Temple!
Ever since a catastrophe happened in the Shaolin Temple three hundred years ago, the Shaolin Temple had fallen from grace and was in its twilight years. No more Sons of Buddha were elected.
"Abbot, you want Xuan Xin to become the Buddhist Son of Shaolin Temple?!”
Hui Tong, the headmaster of Dharma Hall, could not sit still anymore.
He stared at Fang Zhang Liaochen in shock, his lips trembling as his heart trembled.
Obviously.
He did not expect this at all.
Liaochen had actually suggested that Jiang Lu be the Arhat.
It had been 300 years since a Son of Buddha had appeared in Shaolin Temple.
Was there going to be an exception now?
The two Headmasters were still staring at each other, vaguely trying to take Jiang Lu as their disciple, but they did not expect that Abbot Liaochen would directly suggest that Jiang Lu become a Buddhist Son.
Instantly, the two Headmasters were caught off guard by this news.
The Buddhist Sons were existences comparable to the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of various sects.
Once a Buddhist Son appeared in the Shaolin Temple, they would naturally have to use all their resources to nurture him and teach him the best martial arts manuals in the Shaolin Temple.
The status of the Arhat was second only to the abbot.
Even the two Chiefs might not be above the Arhat in terms of status.
It was also because of this.
When they learned of Abbot Chen's intentions, the two Headmasters were so shocked.
" It's been 300 years since a Son of Buddha appeared in Shaolin…"
"Abbot, do we still need to discuss this matter?”
"Do you really want to break the rules of the past three hundred years for this?”
The two Headmasters couldn't help but advise.
If Jiang Lu became the current Arhat, then no one in the entire Shaolin Temple would be qualified to become Jiang Lu's master.
To be more precise.
Everyone in Shaolin Temple, including the abbot, had the responsibility and obligation to teach and protect Jiang Lu.
This was the advantage of the eminent status of the Buddhist Sons.
He had used all his resources, manpower, and material resources to nurture the Arhat and ensure his smooth growth and development.
"There is no need to discuss this matter.”
"What's wrong with a person with a natural Buddhist heart being the current Buddhist Son?”
"Could it be…"
"Can you find a second person who can be compared to Xuan Xin?”
Liaochen's words were simple and straightforward.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The two Headmasters and Huixing were speechless and chose to remain silent.
That's right!
What was wrong with a person with a natural Buddhist heart being a Buddhist Son?
Could there be a second person who was more outstanding than this child?
Impossible!
Innate Buddhist heart, this was a shocking phenomenon that was rarely seen in a thousand years!
It was already worth congratulating that there was an example of an innate Buddha heart in a thousand years.
In this way.
He asked.
If even a person with a natural Buddhist heart could not be a Son of Buddha of Shaolin Temple, then who had the qualifications to be a Son of Buddha?
Was there anyone more outstanding than Xuan Xin?
It didn't exist!
Even if they looked at all the sects in Jianghu, the two Headmasters couldn't think of any martial arts genius who could match the young Xuan Xin in terms of talent and aptitude.
He was born with a Buddhist heart that could easily suppress all the martial arts geniuses in the pugilistic world!
Even in the entire Jianghu for thousands of years, it was very likely that no one could compare to this talent.
This was the terrifying and domineering nature of the Buddha Heart!
" The rule that Shaolin no longer has a Son of Buddha in 300 years…"
"It's about to be broken!"
Hui Xing's gaze was fixed on Jiang Lu's young figure, and his eyes were dazed.
He understood.
If even Jiang Lu could not become a Buddhist Son of Buddha, then there would definitely not be a second person in the world who had the qualifications to become a Buddhist Son.
A person with a natural Buddhist heart was really too rare and terrifying!
It was like the reincarnation of Buddha!
No one could deny Jiang Lu's terrifying foundation, comprehension, and talent.
Therefore, he had no choice.
The two Headmasters and Huixing were unable to refute Abbot Liaochen's decision.
Their eyes lost their focus, and their minds were shaken.
A six-year-old Buddhist Son…
Was it going to be born?
The few of them looked at Jiang Lu with shock in their eyes, and they also seemed to be particularly complicated and indescribable.
However, it was not that hard for them to accept.
At least.
They knew very well that a person with a natural Buddhist heart was definitely more than qualified to be the current Buddhist Son of Shaolin Temple.
"Xuan Xin, I'll ask you again."
"Are you willing to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Shaolin Temple in the future?”
"Are you willing to shoulder the responsibility of letting Shaolin rise?”
"Are you willing to be the current Buddhist Son of Shaolin Temple?”
Liaochen's gaze was focused on Jiang Lu, and his tone was solemn and serious.
Beside him.
The two Headmasters, Hui Xing and the other two couldn't help but look at Jiang Lu's figure. They didn't move an inch and quietly waited for the latter's reply.
"The Shaolin Temple hasn't had a Buddhist Son for 300 years.”
"And if you are willing…"
"You can become the only Buddhist Son of Shaolin Temple in 300 years!”
"When the time comes."
"I, the two Headmasters, and all the elders in the temple will give you all the resources and protection you need to grow and rise.”
"Are you willing?"
Liaochen's words were simple and straightforward.
If he became a Buddhist Son, he would have to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Shaolin Temple. He would protect the Shaolin Temple in the future and shoulder the arduous responsibility of returning the Shaolin Temple to its former glory.
Of course.
At this stage, the Arhat could enjoy countless gains.
Sacrifice was something that could only be done for Shaolin Temple when one's strength was strong enough!
As for the rewards, they could be obtained during the growth stage.
For the current Jiang Lu.
What he lacked was a powerful backer and protection!
And the Arhat just happened to make up for his biggest gap.
The Changyi Song Clan outside the temple, as well as the Great Chu Empire's imperial clan, the Xiang Clan, must have been thinking of eliminating the weeds at all times. Jiang Lu had no choice but to guard against this.
So it was.
Becoming a Buddhist Son was the best way to protect his life.
As for the need to contribute to the Shaolin Temple in the future?
When he was strong enough, Jiang Lu felt that it was reasonable for him to do something for Shaolin Temple.
The Shaolin Temple had invested in his early development and growth. After he became powerful in the later stages, he would protect the Shaolin Temple. This was a very reasonable condition.
The most important thing after becoming a Buddhist Son was to receive the full protection of the Shaolin Temple!
As for the resources that Fang Zhang Liaochen mentioned?
Actually, Jiang Lu didn't really care about these things.
After thinking about it.
In the end.
Jiang Lu already had a decision in his heart.
He raised his head and faced the kind and friendly Abbot Liaochen. His tone was firm.
"Abbot, I'm willing to become a Buddhist Son.”
At this point.
The only Son of Buddha in the Shaolin Temple for 300 years was born today!
