Ling Yun drove the Land Rover with Murong Feixue on the road through the forest. Lingjue Temple was already in sight.
He was driving with one hand, and his right hand was on the steering wheel. There was a dark bead the size of a walnut in Ling Yun's left hand.
This was, of course, the Bodhi Seed.
The closer he got to Lingjue Temple, the stronger the Buddha Power he felt. Of course, this strength was only relative. It couldn't be compared to the surging Buddha Power in the small temple at the bottom of the crater where the senior monk passed away.
Ling Yun had already reached the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Eight and was only a step away from breaking through to Physique Tempering Stage Nine. He was also only a step away from the Qi Cultivation Stage. He could now easily sense the various types of special energies in the world.
For example, in the outskirts, there was naturally a thin layer of spiritual energy. Even though it was so thin that it was negligible, Ling Yun could already absorb it easily. It was as natural as breathing air. This was a result of his heaven-defying physique.
Don't underestimate this kind of invisible and undetectable accumulation. This was because it was a continuous absorption every second. Many a little makes a mickle, and many grains of sand formed a tower. Actually, Ling Yun's cultivation was increasing unknowingly every minute and second. It couldn't be felt normally, but this was Ling Yun's root. It was the most fundamental reason why he was so heaven-defying.
However, the Buddha Power Ling Yun felt now was much stronger than the surrounding Plant Spiritual Energy. That was why he took out the Bodhi Seed.
The Bodhi Seed was obtained by Ling Yun from the mysterious crater. Later on, in Zhuang Tiande's villa at Qingshui Wharf, Master Xingchi chanted the name of Buddha when Ling Yun was about to kill him. The Bodhi Seed flew out on its own and blocked more than ten of Ling Yun's strikes in the air. That made Ling Yun so angry that he almost threw it away. However, the Bodhi Seed and the other three Buddhist Artifacts flew out of the spatial ring on their own when Ling Yun was undergoing his tribulation on Turtle Island. They helped Ling Yun resist the terrifying Nine-Colored Tribulation Cloud.
Ling Yun knew that he had four Buddhist treasures that were fated with Buddhism. Each of them was extraordinary and could fight against the Nine-Colored Tribulation Cloud. Among them, the Bodhi Seed was the most powerful and mysterious.
The Bodhi Seed was still gray and old, but the surface of its body began to emit a misty green color. Ling Yun knew that this was caused by it absorbing the energy of the green lightning with the Shennong Cauldron when it was fighting against the green tribulation cloud.
Then, the Bodhi Seed flew up into the sky. Together with the other Dharma treasures, it devoured the Rainbow Tribulation Cloud in the sky. Of the four Buddhist treasures, it obtained the most. What it obtained was more than the total of the other three Buddhist treasures.
Ling Yun took out the Bodhi Seed and held it in his left hand with a rare solemn expression. He glanced at the Bodhi Seed from time to time, lost in thought as he stared at the layer of green light on its surface.
It was broad daylight, so Murong Feixue couldn't see the green light on the surface of the Bodhi Seed. Only Ling Yun, who had the Yin-Yang Eye, could see it.
Very ordinary, very ordinary … There's no Buddha Power coming out of it, but it's continuously absorbing the Buddha Power around it … Ling Yun could feel that the Bodhi Seed was continuously absorbing the Buddha Power around it.
Ling Yun understood that if he took out the green lamp, the string of Buddha beads, and the magical gourd without a mouth, they would definitely absorb the Buddha Power around them.
However, he couldn't take them out because Murong Feixue would definitely think that Ling Yun was becoming a monk.
He hadn't even reached Lingjue Temple yet, but he was already wearing a string of Buddha beads, carrying a broken gourd, and accompanying a green lamp. Wasn't this the rhythm of a monk who drank and ate meat?
Up until now, only Master Xingchi had pointed out that Ling Yun was fated with Buddhism and had the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book before he died. He said that Ling Yun was destined to face the heavenly tribulation.
The person destined to face the heavenly tribulation … Ling Yun stared at the Bodhi Seed in a daze, but his heart was already in turmoil.
He thought of the Nine-Colored Tribulation Cloud on Turtle Island and the shocking scene when he used all his Dharma treasures to resist the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.
However, Ling Yun had an instinctive resistance towards Buddhism and Buddhist cultivators. It wasn't because he had to become a monk, but because he felt that Buddhism was too mysterious and overbearing.
Buddhist cultivators talked about reincarnation, and talked about delivering all living things from suffering. However, what they cultivated was an indestructible golden body. Buddhist energy was the power of faith, the power of will, and not any of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Buddhist cultivators were too terrifying and not to be trifled with. That was why Ling Yun kept his distance from them.
Murong Feixue was in high spirits when she came to Lingjue Temple with Ling Yun. She explained all sorts of things to Ling Yun, but she couldn't help but turn to look at Ling Yun when she didn't get a response. That look almost scared her to death!
Ling Yun actually didn't look at the road!
He didn't need to look at the road. He could use his divine sense to cover a radius of forty meters. He could drive with his eyes closed.
However, Murong Feixue didn't know that. She panicked when she saw Ling Yun staring at his left hand with a solemn expression. "Ling Yun, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you looking at the road when you're driving? "
Ling Yun snapped out of his thoughts and turned to smile at Murong Feixue. "It's fine, I didn't drive into the ditch, did I?"
"Big Sister Murong, how far is the Lingjue Temple?" Ling Yun asked Murong Feixue at the same time.
Murong Feixue rarely saw such a solemn expression on Ling Yun's face. She thought that Ling Yun had such an expression because he was thinking about their engagement today. She was inexplicably happy as she pointed ahead. "It's right in front, just two more turns …" Murong Feixue pointed ahead.
"Really, you grew up in Qingshui City, but you don't even know where Lingjue Temple is!" Murong Feixue said with a blush.
Ling Yun chuckled. I was picked up by my mother from Lingjue Temple. It's just that I've lost all my memories …
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at Lingjue Temple. They found a parking spot at the foot of the mountain and started climbing up the mountain.
Ling Jue Temple was indeed very popular, especially since the National College Entrance Examination had just ended yesterday. Many parents had come to Ling Jue Temple to pray for their children to get a high score. Therefore, Ling Jue Temple had been filled with visitors for the past few days. Along the way, they could see families bringing their children who had just finished their National College Entrance Examination up the mountain to pray to Buddha.
Along the way, Murong Feixue's beautiful face became more and more solemn, and her eyes became more devout. "Ling Yun, look, so many parents and candidates are here to pray to Buddha. You should also burn some incense today so that Buddha can bless you with a high score …" Murong Feixue turned to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun held the Bodhi Bead in his hand, feeling the waves of Buddhist power coming from Lingjue Temple. "I don't believe in these things. I believe in myself. Praying to Buddha is nothing more than peace of mind. Praying to Buddha is better than praying to myself."
Ling Yun's expression was calm, but his words revealed his strong confidence. This made Murong Feixue's heart tremble.
She didn't say anything else. Instead, she took Ling Yun's right arm and started climbing silently.
Ling Yun could feel the Buddha's power that was several times stronger than before. He looked at the devout tourists holding incense sticks with a solemn expression. Occasionally, he raised his head and looked at the Lingjue Temple that was surrounded by incense sticks without saying a word.
"The Buddhist orthodoxy is really powerful … The power of faith is amazing …"
The mountain wasn't high, so they quickly arrived at the entrance of Lingjue Temple. The Buddhist power was even stronger here, and everyone was devout.
At the main entrance of the Lingjue Temple, all sorts of people walked in and out. Even though it was noisy, Ling Yun could still find a sense of calmness, tranquility, and peace in the midst of the noise.
"Wait here for me, I'll go buy some incense …" Murong Feixue let go of Ling Yun's arm and said with a red face.
Lingjue Temple wasn't just a temple. It was a famous attraction in Qingshui City. The incense in the temple was more than twice the price of the incense at the foot of the mountain.
Of course, this didn't affect Murong Feixue at all. That was why she only started buying incense when she reached the entrance of the temple.
Ling Yun nodded slightly, but he had already released his divine sense. He realized that within the range of his divine sense, there were only ordinary people going up the mountain to offer incense. Occasionally, there were some monks walking around, but they were also there to generate income for the Lingjue Temple. They were solemnly persuading the tourists to buy incense and burn incense.
However, they were just people in the temple, not Buddhas.
Ling Yun saw many Buddha statues. They were tall, standing, and sitting. They were all lifelike and dignified. Most of the Buddhist power in Lingjue Temple came from these Buddha statues.
Ling Yun raised his left hand and looked at the Bodhi Seed in his hand. The Bodhi Seed was absorbing the Buddhist power at an alarming rate. It absorbed as much as it could.
The natural patterns on the Bodhi Seed were even clearer under the misty green light. The huge Buddha formed by the natural patterns was clearer as well. It seemed like it was going to break out of the Bodhi Seed.
This made Ling Yun secretly shocked.
Murong Feixue returned very quickly with a big bundle of incense sticks in her hands. It seemed like she was going to pray in front of every Buddha.
"I'll help you …"
"That won't do …"
Ling Yun couldn't help but want to help Murong Feixue. However, Murong Feixue rejected his offer. Sincerity was the most effective thing in the world.
Ling Yun accompanied Murong Feixue into the temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows. No matter what Murong Feixue did, he accompanied her. He watched as she kowtowed and prostrated herself on the ground. Her expression was solemn and sincere.
The two of them arrived at the Hall of Great Strength very quickly.
Ling Yun released his divine sense but still didn't discover anything. What shocked him the most was the Buddha statues in the Hall of Great Strength. They were so huge that mortals seemed tiny in front of them.
Murong Feixue used up all the incense in her hand after they finished praying. She suggested to Ling Yun that she should personally thank the monk who told her about her marriage.
"Where?"
"In the backyard of the Lingjue Temple." (To be continued.)
