"What happened after that?"
Su Zimo asked instinctively.
The old monk shook his head. "Later on, there were many rumors. Some said that the fiend of Shura Sect was killed and Monk Daming was severely injured and died not long after. There are also people who say that both sides suffered great losses, and both of them perished … "
"In any case, the final outcome was that the two of them went missing. No one knew if they were alive or dead and their whereabouts were unknown. They were never seen again."
There was a hint of sorrow in the old monk's tone.
"From the looks of it, Monk Daming was most likely doomed in that battle back then. That fiend of Shura Sect nearly came back to life with the power of his bloodline. "
The old monk took the Buddha Beads from Su Zimo's hands and rubbed them gently between his fingers.
"Hmm?"
A moment later, the old monk seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed softly.
"What is it?"
Su Zimo asked hurriedly.
"Nothing,"
The old monk shook his head. "Actually, this is a connate Dharmic weapon of Daming Monastery known as the Mingwang Prayer Beads. It's made up of six Buddha Beads."
"The Mingwang Prayer Beads are made from the core of the Soul Nourishing Tree, an immortal wood from Tianhuang Mainland. There are six Dharmic seals of Daming Monastery etched on them. The Buddha Beads that you have is only one of them."
"The Mingwang Prayer Beads were originally worn by Monk Daming. The battle back then was way too tragic and the Mingwang Prayer Beads were broken and the six Buddha Beads were scattered everywhere … "
At that point, the old monk extended his skinny finger and tapped his glabella gently.
A bright light shone on his glabella.
Immediately after, the old monk's glabella opened up and spat out three Buddha Beads the size of longans – they were identical to the ones Su Zimo had!
However, if one focused their attention, they would realize that the patterns etched on each of the Buddha Beads were different.
The old monk said, "After that battle, the monks of Daming Monastery searched for a long time and only managed to find three Buddha Beads. Including the one you have, there are two more that are lost outside."
"The Daming Temple has a supreme technique that protects the temple, called the 'Daming True Scripture'. The sutra is divided into two parts. The first part is called Da Ming Mantra, also known as the Six Words Da Ming Mantra. It is a musical technique. "
When he heard that, Su Zimo could not help but recall the six strange syllables that Ming Zhen chanted outside the old temple.
Those six syllables contained a mysterious force that was difficult to fathom!
The old monk's voice continued, "The lower part is the Daming Dharmapala. There are six of them and they are all imprinted on this string of Mingwang Prayer Beads. The Demon Vanquishing Seal that you have learned is one of them."
"The seals on the three prayer beads in my hand are the Demon Subduing Seal, the Immortal Trap Seal, and the Immovable Foundation Seal."
Su Zimo nodded secretly.
If the Fiend Suppression Seal was already this powerful, the Demon Subduing Seal, Immortal Trap Seal and Immovable Foundation Seal would definitely not be weak!
The old monk could tell what Su Zimo was thinking and could not help but chuckle. "Actually, of the six Dharmic seals, these four are the weakest."
"Ah?
Su Zimo was stunned.
And this was only the weakest one?
The old monk nodded. "There's no need to elaborate on the Immovable Foundation Seal. It's a defensive Dharmic seal. As for the Demon Vanquishing Seal, the Demon Subduing Seal and the Immortal Trap Seal, you can tell from their names that they have a chance of survival. "
None of the Demon Subduing, Trap Seals had any killing intent!
From the moment they were created, the three Dharmic seals contained the compassion and magnanimity of the Buddhist monasteries.
The old monk said, "Among the six Dharmic seals, the ones that are truly powerful and can be considered as killing Dharmic seals are the last two that have been lost, the Great Vajra Wheel Seal and Great Meru Seal!"
The moment the two Dharmic seals were mentioned, they exuded a terrifying pressure that caused one's heart to shudder!
"The Daming Mantra has six syllables that correspond to the six Dharmic seals. When you cultivate it together with the Daming Mantra, you'll gain a deeper level of understanding and its power will be maximized as well! "
"The cultivation technique of the Daming Mantra is in the Sutra Chamber. You can take a look at it."
Su Zimo was enlightened.
So, his Demon Vanquishing Seal had yet to unleash its true power.
If it was released together with the Daming Mantra, its power would be even more terrifying!
As the old and young man chatted, the skies turned dark unknowingly.
In the meantime, the sound of chains could be heard from the backyard of the grand hall.
When it saw that no one was paying attention, it went silent once more.
Right from the beginning, the old monk did not explain anything, as though he was already used to it.
Gradually, the skies turned dark.
Su Zimo's clothes moved at his chest. The little fox who had slept soundly for the entire day rubbed her sleepy eyes and popped her head out.
Her gaze was still a little dazed and she was not fully awake. She rested her tiny paws on Su Zimo's chest and looked at the old monk before her in a daze. Blinking her eyes, she looked adorable.
The old monk smiled.
Gradually, the little fox snapped out of her daze and lowered her head in embarrassment.
The old monk looked at Su Zimo deeply. "This little fox … you have to take good care of her. Don't let her suffer …"
"Of course,"
Su Zimo replied.
Immediately after, he felt that something was amiss.
Just Now, the old monk did not seem to have finished his sentence and was hesitant.
Just as Su Zimo was about to ask, the old monk changed the topic and asked, "Patron, are you willing to join the Buddhist monasteries? “
Su Zimo froze for a moment.
The old monk's question was extremely sudden and he had never thought about it.
The old monk continued, "Patron, don't worry. There won't be too many restrictions for you if you join the Buddhist monasteries. You can leave at any time you wish and I won't stop you. "
Although he had not cultivated Mind Reading, Su Zimo suddenly understood the old monk's intentions when he saw the latter's hopeful gaze.
The old monk had guarded this old temple at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley for more than 10,000 years, protecting the legacy of Fahua and Daming Monasteries for more than 10,000 years – he hoped that he could preserve a spark for those two sects!
The old monk must have sensed that his lifespan was approaching – that was why he made such a request.
"Alright!"
Su Zimo nodded and agreed.
The old monk nodded in gratification and stroked Su Zimo's head gently with a shaving knife between his fingers.
It was accompanied by a cool breeze.
Black hair fell.
The old monk's voice sounded in Su Zimo's ears, "From this day forth, your Buddhist monastic title will be Ming Xin."
In reality, even if he did not agree, Su Zimo could have browsed through the ancient sutras in the Sutra Chamber as he wished. However, he could not get over it.
Furthermore, he had fallen to the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley and his cultivation was crippled – he had to start all over again.
Cutting off the black hair on his head was a symbol of cutting off the past, temporarily abandoning Su Zimo's identity and forgetting his past glory.
From this day forth, he would cultivate wholeheartedly at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley and await the moment he rose once more!
The old monk withdrew a strand of almost transparent silk from his storage bag and strung the four Buddha Beads in his hands together, making a string of prayer beads once more.
"Although the Mingwang Prayer Beads are missing two Buddha Beads, they have some uses as well. They can block the Essence Spirits of Genying Zhenjun and Void Reversions from probing. Take it as a gift for you to acknowledge me as your master. "
Su Zimo pressed his palms together and bowed deeply.
That gift was way too valuable!
Although it was missing two Buddha Beads, it was a connate Dharmic weapon in the past after all!
Notwithstanding the power of the Mingwang Prayer Beads, the four Dharmic seals on them were enough to drive countless cultivators crazy!
Furthermore, blocking the Essence Spirit meant that many of Su Zimo's secrets would not be discovered.
The situation where he was forced to reveal his true appearance by the Demon Revealing Mirror would never happen again!
For Su Zimo, that was an irreplaceable gift!
