The ancestral court of the Great Lightning Zen Temple was so big that mortals wouldn't be able to explore it in their lifetime. It was really big for a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator.
When Yi Tian stood at the foot of the Great Lightning Zen Temple's mountain gate and scanned the area with his Divine Sense, he was slightly shocked. Without any barriers or obstructions, his Divine Sense could cover at least four to five thousand miles in circumference.
But even so, he couldn't find out how big the Great Lightning Zen Temple was. When he walked to the gate, two disciples guarding the gate came forward and asked, "May I ask if senior has a sect token or an invitation from the monks of the temple?"
Shaking his head, Yi Tian was about to reply when he suddenly remembered that Buddhist Yizhen once gave him a jade slip in the spiritual realm. He took it out and gestured to it, "I want to find Master Xuan Wu, can you introduce me?"
"Senior Apprentice Brother Xuan Wu is currently in seclusion. Senior didn't come at the right time. Are there any other monks you know? "The disciple guarding the gate asked respectfully.
Yi Tian thought for a while and took out the jade token he got when he met Chongde Chongjing at the gate of the Buddhist realm.
The disciple guarding the gate glanced at it and said with a solemn face, "I don't know if senior is an honored guest of the Arhat Hall, please follow me."
After being stunned, Yi Tian secretly thought that Chongde Chongjing should be waiting for him at the gate of the Buddhist realm. And they must have guessed that he would come to the Great Lightning Zen Temple. Giving him the token directly saved a lot of trouble.
He followed the disciple guarding the gate into the temple hall and was received by another monk. After a while, the two passed through the long corridor and a few mountain peaks before they saw a courtyard located in the valley not far away.
Since he was already here, Yi Tian didn't say much. He followed them to the front of the courtyard and looked at the three words' Arhat Hall 'above the main gate. After entering, the monk in charge of the Arhat Hall received him. After showing the jade token in his hand, Yi Tian was led to the side hall for a short rest.
After sitting cross-legged in the shop for a while, Yi Tian noticed that someone was slowly walking toward him. When the person entered the side hall, he raised his head and glanced at him. He seemed to have understood something. The person who had come was the fat monk De Chong whom he had met outside the Realm Gate. At this moment, he was no different from before.
Instead, when he saw Yi Tianyun, his eyes flashed and he said politely, "Senior apprentice-brother Yi Tianyun is really powerful. In less than 100 years, you broke through the bottleneck and became a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator."
"Junior Brother Dechong, you flatter me. I've been at the critical point for a long time. As long as there's a little opportunity, success will follow naturally." Yi Tian also said modestly.
After dismissing the receptionist behind him, Monk De Chong walked forward and sat down in front of him before asking, "Senior Brother, may I know the reason for your visit?"
Yi Tian took out the jade slip that Yizhen gave him back then and said, "The reason I came to pay a visit this time is to find Senior Yizhen to reminisce about the past, and to fulfill the promise back then."
De Chong said with a difficult expression, "Ever since Senior Martial Brother Yizhen took over the position of Great Lightning Temple's abbot, he went into seclusion to meditate. Senior Martial Brother Yi, I'm afraid you came at the wrong time. "
"That's really a pity." Yi Tian put away the jade slip with a slightly disappointed expression, then he asked, "Senior Martial Brother Yizhen and I had an agreement back then. After coming to Great Lightning Temple, I must visit Arhat Hall and fulfill the promise back then. Can Junior Brother De Chong introduce me to Arhat Hall's head? "
De Chong was a little embarrassed after hearing that. After thinking for a while, he said, "Head has been in seclusion for a hundred years. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for senior apprentice-brother to meet him."
"Which senior apprentice-brother is in charge of Arhat Hall now?" Yi Tian asked.
"It's Senior Martial Brother De Jing. At this time, he has not returned yet. If Senior Martial Brother Yi wants to meet him, you have to wait for a while." De Chong replied.
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian also nodded, then he said, "Fine, then I'll wait here for Senior Martial Brother De Jing."
After that, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the side hall and began to wait. As for De Chong, he also hurriedly bowed and retreated.
After waiting in the side hall of Arhat Hall for an unknown period of time, he noticed a very strong spiritual pressure fluctuation in the distant sky flying toward here. But when this spiritual pressure flew to ten miles away from Arhat Hall's valley, it dropped down and walked in from the ground.
Not long after, he noticed that many monks in Arhat Hall gathered in the square in front of the main hall, then they welcomed the person. After a while, the main hall opened and welcomed the person in.
Yi Tian didn't know who had such extravagance. When he was puzzled, the side hall's door suddenly opened. After De Chong walked in quickly, he said, "The acting head has returned and is waiting in the main hall. Senior Martial Brother Yi, please follow me."
Opening his eyes, Yi Tian said puzzledly, "Isn't Senior Martial Brother De Jing in charge of Arhat Hall's affairs? May I know who is the acting head?"
De Chong's eyelids twitched, and he said helplessly, "It's Senior Martial Brother De Ruo. When Senior Martial Brother De Jing is not here, he has to deal with everything."
After seeing a trace of helplessness in De Chong's eyes, Yi Tian just smiled, then he got up and said, "I came to Great Lightning Zen Temple to fulfill the promise I made with Senior Martial Brother Yizhen back then. Naturally, it doesn't matter who receives me." Then he walked straight out of the side hall.
After coming to the outside world, he saw all the disciples of Arhat Hall had arrived. They divided into two lines outside the main hall and entered the main hall to worship. After entering the main hall with De Chong, he found a middle-aged monk sitting cross-legged on the futon in the middle of the hall. From the aura around him, he was definitely at the intermediate stage of Spirit Severing stage.
It's just that the feeling this person gave him was far less shocking than when he saw Monk De Jing back then. In terms of cultivation strength, De Jing should be at the peak of Spirit Severing stage, but he didn't know why De Ruo in front of him was the acting head.
Looking at De Chong's appearance, he seemed to be a little unconvinced. He said helplessly in his heart, "Where there are people, there is Jianghu."
Yi Tian, who was waiting to enter the inner hall, stepped forward and bowed to De Ruo who was sitting on the upper seat, "Yi Tian, the disciple of Taiqing Pavilion in Spiritual Realm, greets Master De Ruo, the acting head of Great Lightning Zen Temple's Arhat Hall."
"It's a pleasure to have a friend coming from afar. Junior Martial Brother Yi must have something important to come to my Great Lightning Zen Temple from afar. Please tell us clearly so that we can understand. "De Ruo, who was sitting on the upper seat, didn't let him take a seat first. Instead, he directly made the matter clear.
Yi Tian couldn't help but frown slightly with such hospitality. After a while, he returned to normal and said, "I have a copy of Senior Martial Brother Yizhen's jade slip. He once asked me to go to Arhat Hall to see the treasure of the hall, so I'm here to see it." After that, he took out the jade slip that Yizhen gave him and handed it over gently.
Obviously, these words were out of De Ruo's expectation, but he couldn't refuse the abbot's jade slip. He could only reach out his hand and took it. After opening it, he glanced at it. After a while, he frowned and said, "This handwriting is Senior Martial Brother Yizhen's handwriting, but he only asked us to treat you well in his heart. He didn't mention the matter of seeing my Arhat Hall's treasure."
After taking back the jade slip, Yi Tian replied slowly, "That is Senior Martial Brother Yizhen's promise to me."
