"Just carry a bucket of water back?" This test was clearly too simple, so simple that it was suspicious.
The big man was the first to excitedly pick up the bucket. He had originally thought that Grandmaster Seven Treasures was testing his strength, but unexpectedly, the bucket was not as heavy as he had imagined. It was very light!
Just as he was about to leave, Grandmaster Seven Treasures said, "Wait, I'll give you a spell."
After casting the spell, the big man quickly ran off. After a while, he ran back with a bucket full of water. This big man was indeed quite strong, and his footsteps were steady. He walked back and forth like a gust of wind, and the bucket in his hand was steady without a drop of water spilling!
Grandmaster Seven Treasures smiled. "Not bad, pour it into the water jar over there."
The big man poured the water into the water jar and walked back proudly, thinking that he was probably going to succeed this time.
But who knew that just as he walked back, Grandmaster Seven Treasures asked again, "What did you see over the pond?"
The big man blushed a little and hesitated before saying, "I saw a flock of swans over the pond."
Ye Kong could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. This Fallen Leaf Temple had never even seen a sparrow, so how could there be swans?
However, Grandmaster Seven Treasures nodded. "Not bad."
Following that, the second lanky man also went over. He cast a spell and rushed off excitedly, rushing back with quick steps.
It was also a bucket of water. Although the lanky man was so thin, it seemed like he still had some muscles. Not a single drop spilled out.
Grandmaster Seven Treasures asked him again, "What did you see?"
The lanky man thought about it and said, "I … saw a flock of wild ducks."
Ye Kong felt depressed. It seemed like there was everything in that pond.
The third youth also went over. After a while, he also returned. This youth was very smart. Before Grandmaster Seven Treasures asked, he replied, "I didn't see anything. I went straight to the pond and came back after fetching water. I didn't bother to look at it at all."
The last one was Ye Kong. Actually, he was also very curious about what was in the pond over there. Why did the three of them see different things when they came back? Could there be some mystery behind it?
Grandmaster Seven Treasures also cast a spell on Ye Kong. At first, Ye Kong did not know what this magic art was used for. However, not long after he walked out of the small courtyard, he felt his figure hidden in the air.
Ye Kong thought to himself, why did he need to hide himself? Could it be that he wasn't fetching water, but stealing it?
He walked quickly through the pagoda forest and saw a small pond in front of him surrounded by a wall. There were a few female disciples standing guard at the entrance of the wall. However, Ye Kong was invisible, so he easily entered. After entering the wall, he saw a small pond.
When he looked again, the color of the flesh in the pond was moving. It was a beautiful scene of spring. He saw several female monks bathing naked in the pond. Those female monks also did not know that there were people in the pond, they were playing and frolicking in the water, it was a moving scene that attracted people's attention.
Ye Kong finally understood why the three of them spoke differently. Presumably, the three of them saw the female monk bathing and did not dare to say anything when they returned. They must have thought to themselves, "Since I'm invisible, no one will know. I can just deny it when I return."
Official Ye, on the other hand, did not stand on ceremony. After watching for a while, he slowly returned.
As usual, Grandmaster Seven Treasures asked Ye Kong what he saw.
Ye Kong said, "I saw a group of beauties bathing without any clothes on."
The three of them thought, "You're doomed. You're dead meat." You saw the female monks bathing. Aren't you peeking on purpose? It's good enough that they didn't punish you, but you still want to become a monk delivering food! Dream on.
Sure enough, Grandmaster Seven Treasures said again, "You took so long to return. Were you peeking on purpose?"
Ye Kong answered honestly, "It's not a matter of looking. After staying there for a long time, the invisibility effect disappeared. I even helped them wipe their backs."
The other three fainted, thinking, "Damn, why didn't we encounter such a good thing! But if you encountered it, then so be it. Why did you say it out loud? Aren't you courting death? "
However, they heard Ye Kong say with a smile again, "Grandmaster, I heard that form is emptiness and emptiness is form. We Buddhist disciples should take pleasure in helping others and be compassionate. We shouldn't have the concept of men and women in our eyes. Emptiness is just a body. Furthermore, Buddhists pay particular attention to opportunities. Little Ye, it's fate that I saw the few sisters today. I should go with the flow. How can I go against the heavens? Grandmaster, I wonder if I'm right? "
Official Ye had stayed in that place for a long time and could actually say a few words of classical Chinese.
However, Grandmaster Seven Treasures was taken aback. After thinking for a long time, he did something that nearly made the other three collapse.
Grandmaster Seven Treasures gave a Buddhist bow to Ye Kong and said, "I didn't expect Little Master Ye to be so proficient in Buddhist principles. Your standard is even higher than mine. Little Master Ye, please suffer for a few days and be a monk delivering food for a few days. I'll definitely report this to Grandmaster Ku Ye and get him to make a decision."
The three of them were cursing in their hearts. Why did good things always happen to this kid? However, there was nothing they could do. In their hearts, they hoped that Ye Kong would be promoted soon and give up his position as a monk delivering food. At that time, they would definitely be there to take a look and then help the beautiful sisters wipe their backs … However, they didn't expect that Ye Kong was just spouting nonsense. The three of them were later ganged up on and beaten up by the female monks.
At night, when Ye Kong returned to his residence, Wu Yong and Xu Xiaolong received the news and came over to celebrate.
Wu Yong sighed and said, "I walk around the hall every day and never have the chance to see Grandmaster Ku Ye. Young Master, you're truly blessed by the heavens."
Ye Kong said, "I'm just delivering food. I don't even know if I can meet Grandmaster Ku Ye."
"Sigh, you'll definitely meet him." Xu Xiaolong said, "Didn't you hear what Grandmaster Qibao said? He wants to report to Grandmaster Ku Ye. I think it's very likely that Grandmaster Ku Ye will summon you after hearing the report. At that time, you just have to use your silver tongue and speak nicely. Who knows, Grandmaster Ku Ye might be able to invite the Buddha Light from the Buddha Realm for you!"
Xu Xiaolong shook his head after saying that. He had lived in Luoye City for so many years and had never seen Grandmaster Ku Ye. This Ye Kong had just arrived at Luoye Temple and was already able to meet Grandmaster Ku Ye. He was really lucky.
Although Xu Xiaolong was a little jealous, he wasn't a bad person. He thought about it and reminded, "Oh, I heard that there will be a distinguished guest coming in these few days. When you serve him, you must be careful. Don't offend the distinguished guest before meeting Grandmaster Ku Ye. If Grandmaster Ku Ye gets angry, he won't want to see you. "
Ye Kong quickly nodded. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"I heard that the one visiting Grandmaster Ku Ye this time is the head of the five fairies, the West-Hill Fairy. I got this news from the higher-ups!" A monk in yellow said softly.
"It's the West-Hill Fairy. If I can see her, it'll be worth it even if I die." Another young monk said. His eyes were filled with little stars.
The monk in yellow sighed. "Me too. I've liked the West-Hill Fairy for many years, but I can't meet her. I don't even know what she looks like."
Ye Kong, who was at the side, thought to himself, You're really infatuated. You don't even know what she looks like, and you've liked her for many years?
Today was Ye Kong's first day of delivering food, so he wasn't very familiar with it. Therefore, he followed the two monks and delivered the food.
Most of the food didn't need to be delivered. There was a large cafeteria-like place in the temple. When the time came, everyone could come and eat by themselves.
The people who needed to deliver food were mainly the guests who lived in the temple. Those who were rich, powerful, and liked the Buddhist Dharma would live in the temple, so they needed someone to deliver food. Another thing was that when Grandmaster Ku Ye met a distinguished guest, he would give him a vegetarian meal as a sign of respect. This also needed Ye Kong and the others to deliver.
The two monks walked in front. As they spoke, they thought of Ye Kong behind them. The monk in yellow asked, "Little Ye, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you want to deliver food to the West-Hill Fairy one day?"
"I don't want to." Ye Kong quickly replied. He really didn't want to do this. It wasn't that he was afraid that the West-Hill Fairy would know his whereabouts, but he felt a little embarrassed.
He had become a monk, made a bald head, and still had to serve food to her … Ye Kong didn't even dare to think about it. It was too embarrassing.
"Tsk, I think you're saying one thing but thinking another." The young monk said disdainfully. He thought to himself, I don't believe there's anyone in this temple who doesn't want to see the West-Hill Fairy! You're pretending to be serious. I think you're ashamed of your inferiority and don't dare to look at her.
Ye Kong ignored him. There was no need to argue with this little monk. He would leave as soon as he got the Buddha's aura.
Today, they were delivering food to a female benefactor who lived in the temple. It seemed that she was also rich. There was a small courtyard in the corner of the temple. They didn't need to go in. They just needed to deliver a few food boxes to the maidservant at the door and come back to take the food boxes in an hour.
After delivering the food boxes, Ye Kong and the others returned to the kitchen. About an hour later, it was time to collect the food boxes. The two monks didn't want to run anymore, so they let Ye Kong collect the food boxes himself.
Ye Kong already knew the way, so he ran directly to the small courtyard. When he came to the door, he found that the maidservant guarding the door was no longer there. The food boxes were placed on a rock at the door.
It would have been fine if he had taken it away, but he heard the melodious sound of an ancient zither in the small courtyard.
The sound of the zither was strange. It actually made Ye Kong feel something. It was as if he had returned to that day in the salt ant nest. The sky had collapsed, and the nest had been destroyed. The despairing eyes of the ant queen had when she was dying …
The sound of the zither seemed to sense Ye Kong's thoughts. The rhythm changed again. It was as if the flowers had bloomed in spring, and everything had come back to life. The ice river had thawed, and the despairing eyes of the ant queen had turned into the smiling face of a child.
Although the scene was warm, it was the complete opposite of Ye Kong's Destruction Heavenly Dao. Immediately, Ye Kong had the power to resist and wanted to destroy everything in front of him again.
However, the sound of the zither was very domineering and endless. One salt ant crawled out of the cave, and then more crawled out. Soon, the salt ants were hard at work, and a new nest was formed …
Ye Kong suddenly felt that he couldn't bear it. Although his Destruction Heavenly Dao was powerful, his cultivation was too low. He was completely suppressed by the power of the rebuilt zither sound.
Finally, with a thump, the zither sound ended. When Ye Kong woke up, he found that his back was covered in sweat. It was as if he had gone through a great battle with the zither sound just now.
Ye Kong was a little surprised. What kind of expert lived in this courtyard? How could the zither sound be so powerful? Thinking back, even Meng Ni's zither sound didn't give him such an intense feeling.
