What a majestic dhuta!
Everyone who saw this dhuta couldn't help but secretly praise him. Although this dhuta was very majestic, his eyes were currently half-closed. He held a Buddhist staff in one hand and prayer beads in the other as he slowly walked forward. This gave people a feeling of peace and tranquility.
He was obviously a majestic person, but he gave people a feeling of peace and tranquility. This was very strange. These two different temperaments on this dhuta didn't make people feel uncomfortable.
The dhuta slowly walked forward and entered Sealed Sword City. Naturally, the guards of the city didn't care about him. One must know that Sealed Sword City was very polite to Buddhists. Since this dhuta was a Buddhist, nobody would make things difficult for him.
The dhuta slowly entered Sealed Sword City. The city was very lively, there were all kinds of shops. On both sides of the wide streets, there were countless merchants, peddlers, and rogue Cultivators hawking their wares.
Although this dhuta's eyes were half-closed, he was still very clear about his surroundings. He had inquired a lot before finally deciding to come to Sealed Sword City. Sealed Sword City was the best place for Buddhist Cultivators to settle down. This was especially true for Rogue Cultivators.
This dhuta was naturally Zhao Hai. His current appearance was designed by Laura and the others. He was a Rogue Cultivator who obtained a Buddhist Inheritance.
The reason why Zhao Hai wanted to use this identity was because it would bring him a lot of convenience. At the same time, it would also allow him to be more familiar with the Sword Spirit Plane. Although Xia Yu had already introduced him to the Sword Spirit Plane, and Xia Yu didn't lie to him, his understanding of the Sword Spirit Plane was still lacking. Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted to personally understand it.
Moreover, with such an identity, it would be more convenient for him to do things in the future. As for the identity of a Devil Cultivator, Zhao Hai didn't want to reveal himself. After all, Devil Cultivators weren't like Rogue Cultivators. Devil Cultivators weren't welcomed wherever they go. If Zhao Hai were to reveal his identity as a Devil Cultivator, then it wouldn't be good for him.
Zhao Hai slowly walked forward. When he arrived at Sealed Sword City, the first thing he wanted to do was to enter the temple that was specially designed for Buddhists. Inside the temple, he would have a place to live and eat for free. Although Zhao Hai didn't lack money, his current identity was that of a Rogue Cultivator. Naturally, he would need a place to live.
Buddhas were different from ordinary Monks. Ordinary Monks would cultivate in temples, but Buddhas weren't. Buddhas generally represented Asceticism. They held a staff and alms bowl in their hands as they walked the world. They would beg for food for a living and use Asceticism to comprehend Dharma.
This staff was not only a tool for them to beg for food, but also a tool for them to defend themselves. Because of this, Buddhas who cultivated alone would have a few tricks up their sleeves.
Naturally, the Buddhas here referred to the Buddhas on Earth. Although the Buddhas in the Sword Spirit Plane also focused on Asceticism, these Buddhas were generally Rogue Cultivators. True Monks with backgrounds would mostly cultivate in their own sects.
Zhao Hai's expression was calm as he slowly walked forward. But after a while, he still didn't see a temple. So he turned his head to a Rogue Cultivator and said, "Amitabha. Benefactor, may I ask where the Auspicious Temple is in Sealed Sword City? This Little Monk wants to hang tin there!"
Generally speaking, monks would say 'hang on a bed'. However, Buddhas would say 'hang on a bed' based on the monk's staff in their hands. Although they didn't have a monk's staff in their hands, they would still say 'hang on a bed' because the monk's staff looked very similar to a monk's staff.
The stall owner looked at Zhao Hai, he knew that one cannot be disrespectful to Buddhist Cultivators in the city. Therefore, he immediately said, "Master, the monastery that Master is looking for isn't on the main street. Master can go forward and see an archway with the word 'Zen' on it. Then turn around and walk forward until you see the monastery." Zhao Hai nodded, then said, "Master, please go ahead.
Zhao Hai saluted the man and thanked him. Then he walked forward. In fact, monks generally put their palms together, but this kind of salutation wasn't suitable for a dhuta. This was because when dhutas walk outside, they would usually carry a monk's staff or an alms bowl. In this case, there was no way for them to put their palms together, so they could only do a single palm salutation. Now, many monks were doing a single palm salutation.
Before long, Zhao Hai saw an archway with the word 'Zen' in it. This archway was very tall and was made of a jade-like stone. On the archway, there was a large 'Zen' character engraved on it. On the pillars of the archway, there were many scriptures engraved on it. Moreover, one could see that this archway had been made for a long time. It looked very simple and grand.
Zhao Hai slowly walked along the street where the archway was located. Before long, he saw a large courtyard. This courtyard was very strange. It should be made of ordinary stone. On the outer walls, there was a layer of white paint. This made the entire courtyard look very clean.
Although this courtyard wasn't far from the main street, it was very quiet. It really had a sense of tranquility in the midst of chaos.
On the gate of the courtyard, there was a large sign with the words' Zen Temple 'written on it. The gate was open. Zhao Hai slowly walked towards the gate.
After entering the gate, there was a large courtyard. Inside the courtyard, one could see some Monks. Some of these Monks were sitting quietly in the courtyard, slowly counting prayer beads and silently reciting scriptures.
When Zhao Hai entered the courtyard, he didn't attract the attention of the Monks. He looked around and saw that there were many rooms in the courtyard. Some of the doors were closed with a small sign hanging on them. Some of the doors were open, allowing one to see everything inside.
These rooms were very small. There was only a bed, a praying mat, and a small table. There was nothing else inside, but the rooms were very clean.
At this time, Zhao Hai suddenly heard footsteps. Then a person walked in front of Zhao Hai. This person was also dressed as a Monk. He didn't have anything in his hand, so he bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Amitabha. Young Monk Hui De, Master. May I ask where Master is from? Do you want to hang your name in the temple? "
The Monk asked where Zhao Hai was from. Naturally, he wasn't asking about Zhao Hai's hometown. Instead, he was asking about the temple where Zhao Hai used to cultivate.
Zhao Hai bowed to Monk Hui De and said, "Amitabha. This Monk's Buddhist name is Jing Hai. I didn't cultivate in the temple. I just received my master's legacy and cultivated alone. This time, this Monk went out to cultivate. I heard that Sealed Sword City was recruiting Buddhist disciples. Therefore, I came here to practice for a while."
As soon as Monk Hui De heard Zhao Hai, he understood what Zhao Hai meant. He knew that Zhao Hai was a Rogue Cultivator. However, he didn't show any disrespect. He just bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "So that's how it is. Master Jing Hai, please wait a moment. I'll go through the registration process and then arrange a room for you."
Zhao Hai gave Monk Hui De a salute. After Monk Hui De returned the salute, he led Zhao Hai to a meditation room on the side. This meditation room should be the best one in the courtyard. The room was divided into two parts. The inside was a place to rest while the outside looked like an office. However, there were no chairs inside, only prayer mats. There was also a long table. On the table, there were some papers, pens, jade slips, and other things.
Hui De sat on the prayer mat behind the table as he picked up a pen and wrote something on the paper. It was nothing more than Zhao Hai's Dharma name. Then he put the paper away and took out a jade slip. After inputting some information into the jade slip, he took out a wooden token and said to Zhao Hai, "Master Jing Hai, you can use this token to enter any of the rooms in the courtyard. After you enter, you can hang this token outside the door. You don't need to take it with you when you go out. But if you want to leave Sealed Sword City, then please return this token to me. If you don't return after a month, then I will automatically take back this token." Then he handed the wooden token to Zhao Hai.
After receiving the wooden token, Zhao Hai gave Hui De a salute. Then he turned around and left the meditation room. The courtyard was very big, there should be a lot of rooms in the courtyard. Zhao Hai saw that this courtyard was only the first part of the courtyard. There were hundreds of rooms here, not to mention the second and third parts, there were even more rooms.
However, Zhao Hai didn't pay attention to these things. This time, he didn't come out to cause trouble. Moreover, Sealed Sword City didn't allow violence, this was the same for Buddhist Cultivators. Because of this, Zhao Hai was very safe in this place.
Zhao Hai didn't go far. He entered the courtyard and looked around. Then he saw a room in the corner. This room wasn't any different from the other rooms. Perhaps the lighting was better, but this wasn't a good thing. Zhao Hai went to the door and hung the wooden token on it. Then he entered the room and closed the door.
The door didn't have a bolt nor a lock. However, there were some fluctuations coming from the door. Zhao Hai knew that this was because of a formation. However, this formation wasn't a defensive formation, nor was it a warning formation. The main function of this formation was to make the door more secure, so that it wouldn't be blown open by the wind and rain.
Zhao Hai placed his Buddhist Staff to the side and then sat cross-legged on the praying mat. Then he closed his eyes and began to chant. Although he was the only person in the room, he had already decided to use his Buddhist Cultivator identity to cause trouble. Naturally, he needed to act. Moreover, what Laura and the others said before wasn't completely correct. Zhao Hai's development in Magic Arts was indeed great. However, he couldn't let go of other aspects. After all, as long as you develop your Magic Arts, you would become an expert. Zhao Hai's current identity was a body cultivator. His body was one of Zhao Hai's greatest advantages.
If Zhao Hai only practiced Magic Arts and didn't cultivate his body, then it would be a waste. In fact, Zhao Hai's current advantage in Magic Arts was more obvious than his Magic Arts.
Zhao Hai also planned to use this time to study Buddhist techniques. Buddhist techniques naturally had their own uniqueness, and their fighting strength was also very strong. If he could learn them well, then it would be very beneficial for Zhao Hai.
This was one of Zhao Hai's advantages. No matter what he does, he would be very serious about it. Although his identity as a monk was fake, he was still very serious about being a monk. At this point, he didn't even ask about Tideview City. This was because he knew that it wasn't only Wen Wenhai who was watching over the city, there was also Laura and the others. In fact, even before entering the Soul Realm, Zhao Hai's forces were mostly under Laura and the others' control.
Although Zhao Hai was chanting, he was also using these scriptures to verify his Buddhist Techniques. In fact, Zhao Hai had studied a lot of Buddhist Techniques. Moreover, he was very clear that although Buddhist scriptures seemed to be useless to Cultivators, if one wanted to study Buddhist Techniques, then one must study them well. Otherwise, it would have a huge impact on one's strength. Moreover, it would be impossible for one to display 100% of one's strength. One might even suffer from qi deviation.
While Zhao Hai was chanting, Hui De's voice was suddenly heard from outside, "Master Jing Hai, it's time for lunch. Do you want to eat with me?"
Zhao Hai stopped and then slowly opened his eyes. Then he stood up and opened the door. Looking at Hui De, he said, "Amitabha, I thank Master Hui De for reminding me. Let's go together."
Hui De smiled faintly and said, "Master Jing Hai is too polite. Let's go." Then she walked inside. Zhao Hai quickly followed behind, but he didn't bring his staff. He was very clear that in Sealed Sword City, nobody would dare to touch his things. Otherwise, if he was caught by the people from the Sealing Sword Sect, then he wouldn't have a good time.
It didn't take long before the two entered the second courtyard. This courtyard was similar to the first courtyard. There were a lot of rooms inside. But now, there were several large barrels in the courtyard. Several monks were standing behind the barrels with large wooden spoons in their hands. These monks had alms bowls in their hands. When the monks arrived at the barrels, they would use the wooden spoons to fill their bowls with food. Then the monks would take their bowls and leave.
Hui De looked at Zhao Hai and said, "This is the rule of the monastery. When people eat, they have to hold their own bowl. Then you can go back to your room to eat. You can also eat here. If one bowl isn't enough, then you can come and get more. If Master Jing Hai doesn't have an alms bowl, then the monastery can give you an iron bowl for free. Although it's not a good thing, it's not a problem for you to eat."
Zhao Hai said, "Thank you, Master Hui De. I have an alms bowl." Then Zhao Hai's hand moved as an alms bowl appeared in his hand. This alms bowl was very big. It had a dark green exterior. It didn't look very eye-catching, but it was very heavy.
