While everyone on the shore was waiting anxiously, the Cetacean Society's warship was about to reach the shore.
At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked behind Master Tam Yuan and whispered, "Master, we're almost there."
Master Tam Yuan turned around and smiled, "Master Long, sorry to trouble you."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Master, please don't say that. If it weren't for you in the past, the Cetacean Society would have been annexed by the East China Sea's Three Evil Islands. Master Long has been protecting the East China Sea all these years, reducing the number of killings in the East China Sea. It's a pity that good people don't live long. Now that you're leaving, I'm afraid the East China Sea won't have many peaceful days. "
At this point, the middle-aged man's eyes turned red and he looked sad.
This middle-aged man was the Cetacean Society's leader, Long Tianying. He was considered a figure in the East China Sea. However, a businessman was a businessman after all. Even if he had some strength, it was quite difficult for him to develop the Cetacean Society to such a level.
Thanks to Master Tam Yuan's protection in the past, the Cetacean Society was able to develop to its current scale. Therefore, Long Tianying was really sad that Master Tam Yuan was about to pass away.
Master Tam Yuan smiled and said, "Master Long, you don't have to be like this. Life and death are fated. This is the cycle of reincarnation. It can't be changed. Whether good or bad, they can't escape this. However, the East China Sea's order has been established. As long as everyone can abide by the rules and not kill the innocent, the East China Sea will still be the East China Sea. It's the same principle with or without this old monk. "
Long Tianying nodded. However, he knew that the East China Sea didn't have a respected expert like Master Tam Yuan to maintain order. It was estimated that there wouldn't be many peaceful days left.
By then, the Cetacean Society's warship had reached the shore. Master Tam Yuan took a step forward and hovered in the air. The surrounding power of heaven and earth gently lifted Master Tam Yuan's body, allowing him to gently land on the shore.
When everyone present saw this, they rushed forward and said loudly, "Welcome back to the Central Plains!"
At this moment, whether it was the Crown Prince and Xiao Baiyu who represented the imperial court, the two Wu Dao Grand Masters of Subodhi Zen Monastery, or Wisdom King Zongxuan, they all lowered their heads.
Whether it was true or false, the current Master Tam Yuan was worthy of their respect.
Master Tam Yuan waved his hand and said, "Everyone, there's no need to be like this. What Holy Monk? They're all mortals. Who has the qualifications to become a god or a saint? At the very least, I, this old monk, am not worthy of her. This time, I've returned to the Central Plains because I want to find a lonely grave in my hometown to bury. It can be considered as returning to my roots. I've offended all of you by making such a big fuss. "
To be able to be a monk to the level of Master Tam Yuan was considered to have reached the extreme.
Martial artists from other small temples were not qualified to be welcomed by the people of Subodhi Zen Monastery and Great Light Temple.
At this moment, a Wu Dao Grand Master of Subodhi Zen Monastery stood up and bowed. "Senior Brother Tam Yuan, the abbot has instructed before he came that he wants to invite Senior Brother Tam Yuan to Subodhi Zen Monastery as a guest to preach. Therefore, please come with us. Our Subodhi Zen Monastery will definitely entertain you."
He could not tell who was the senior between the monk from Subodhi Zen Monastery and Tam Yuan. However, with Master Tam Yuan's current status, it would definitely not be wrong to call him senior brother.
Zong Xuan, who was at the side, also said, "When we came, Xu Ci also instructed that we must invite Master Tam Yuan to preach at Great Light Temple."
Master Tam Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I appreciate the Great Light Temple and Subodhi Zen Monastery's kindness, but I'll pass on this preaching.
"Actually, how can I preach anything? "My attainments in the Dharma are definitely not as good as the eminent monks of Great Light Temple and Subodhi Zen Monastery.
"The so-called preaching of the Dharma in the Eastern Sea is actually just explaining some superficial principles to them and reciting some Buddhist scriptures to them. I'm slow-witted, so I can't understand some of the Buddhist principles.
"Therefore, most of the time, I don't use the Dharma to resolve the enmity, but force. When both sides want to fight, I beat them up until they have no strength left. Then, I recite the Buddhist scriptures to them until they are really impatient. Naturally, the enmity between both sides will disappear."
As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned, especially the old monks from Subodhi Zen Monastery. How were they supposed to respond?
Although it was said that violence was more effective than reasoning in a place like the Eastern Sea, Master Tam Yuan had said it so directly. This made the martial artists from Subodhi Zen Monastery feel a little degraded. This was completely different from what they had imagined.
Chu Xiu, who was at the back, felt that this Master Tam Yuan was quite understanding.
Whether it was Buddhism or Daoism, people had to listen to what you said before it could be spread.
If a powerless monk wanted to spread the Dharma and resolve enmity, he would most likely be killed by a knife.
Actually, Great Light Temple and Subodhi Zen Monastery knew this as well. Otherwise, they would not have put so much effort into martial arts. If they had the time, they would have used it to study the Dharma.
However, although they knew this, they did not want to admit it. When they were outside, they still said that they were monks who were compassionate and wanted to convince people with virtue. It was very hypocritical.
Seeing that the expressions of the monks from Subodhi Zen Monastery were a little off, Master Tam Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but I really can't walk anymore.
"Before I came to the Central Plains, my lifespan was already starting to run out. I'm afraid I'll die before I even reach Great Light Temple or Subodhi Zen Monastery.
"Therefore, during this last period of time, I won't be leaving Eastern Qi. I just want to return to my roots in the land of Eastern Qi."
Master Tam Yuan did not mention that he wanted to find a disciple, because once he did, the young talents of the entire pugilistic world would swarm over. By then, it might cause some impact.
According to the divination given to him by Taoist Tianshu, he would definitely meet a suitable disciple when he returned to the Central Plains this time. There was no need to force it.
Meanwhile, when the monks from Subodhi Zen Monastery saw that Master Tam Yuan had rejected them, they did not say anything else.
Since Master Tam Yuan was unwilling, they naturally would not force him.
And with Zong Xuan's character, he would not say anything else. In any case, he would say whatever the Abbot wanted him to say. Zong Xuan had already said what the Abbot wanted him to say, so at this time, Zong Xuan stood at the side like a statue, not saying a word.
At this time, Crown Prince Lv Longji walked over and asked his subordinates to take out a few gifts. He cupped his hands and said, "Since Master Tam Yuan is unwilling to go to Great Light Temple or Subodhi Zen Monastery, then you can stay in Da Qi for a while.
Imperial Father had once said that it was an honor for the Great Qi Kingdom to have someone like Grandmaster Tan Yuan appear in the Great Qi Kingdom. Therefore, we must invite Grandmaster Tan Yuan to Great Liang City. Imperial Father will personally receive you.
Father also said that when the time comes, he will personally build a temple for you in Great Liang City. He will also erect monuments for you in other places in Da Qi.
Master Tam, you went to the East to spread Buddhism and spread the name of the Central Plains. It can be said that you are a role model for the people of Da Qi. Da Qi will never forget you! "
Lv Longji's words made some of the martial artists who were not from Eastern Qi frown. What did he mean by this? How could Master Tam Yuan represent Eastern Qi?
In fact, for people in Jiang Hu, the boundaries between countries were not that important.
The five major sword sects were located in three different countries. Were they going to fight and kill each other?
The imperial court and Jiang Hu were natural opposites. Moreover, some of the sects and aristocratic families had existed for thousands of years. At that time, there were no countries like Eastern Qi and Northern Yan.
Master Tam Yuan was speechless by Lv Longji's' enthusiasm '.
In fact, his return to the Central Plains this time was simply to return to his roots. He wanted to find a disciple to inherit his martial arts. Everything would be perfect.
Unfortunately, in Jiang Hu, there were some things that could not be avoided.
In the past, when he traveled east alone, there wasn't even a single person to send him off. Even his fellow disciples thought that he was crazy and that he wouldn't be able to return once he left.
However, compared with the time when he left, there were so many people when he came back. This made Master Tam Yuan a little uncomfortable.
However, when Master Tam Yuan was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered that the disciple he was looking for was from the imperial court.
This time, the Eastern Qi imperial court sent so many people to welcome him, which was in line with what Tianshu Taoist had said.
Lv Longji had brought a lot of people with him, nearly a hundred of them. Among them, there were also many martial artists of the younger generation. However, when Master Tan Yuan glanced over, the jade slip in his arms did not shine. This also made Master Tan Yuan feel a little strange. Could it be that that person was not here?
He had never doubted the Jade Slip. This was the secret of heaven condensed by his old friend Tianshu Taoist with a mouthful of essence and blood. It was absolutely impossible for it to be wrong.
But at this moment, Chu Xiu squeezed to the front, took out a box and handed it to Master Tam Yuan, saying, "Master Tam Yuan, I am Chu Xiu. I am here to welcome Master Tam Yuan on behalf of the Second Prince. The Second Prince can't come because of something, but he asked me to bring a gift. Please don't take it to heart, Master. "
Seeing Chu Xiu suddenly intervene, Lv Longji's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
He should have taught Chu Xiu a lesson regardless of Xiao Baiyu's face!
He had not thought about why Chu Xiu would appear here before. It was not until now that he realized that Chu Xiu was here to help his second brother build his reputation.
This time, it was his privilege as the Crown Prince to welcome Master Tam Yuan. He did not expect that his second brother did not even want to let go of this opportunity and specially sent someone to make trouble for him.
However, at this time, no one noticed that Master Tam Yuan looked at Chu Xiu with a strange look in his eyes. Because when Chu Xiu approached the Jade Slip in his arms, it shone with a glimmer of light. Although it was only a very weak glimmer, it did shine because of Chu Xiu's approach!
