Chapter 554: Lay Disciple
Chapter 554: Lay Disciple
"How do you know we're not meant to be together?"
Chen Xuan suddenly laughed.
However, the monk still said the same thing, Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian's six senses were not pure.
In short, he could see many worldly desires in the two of them.
"is it?"
Faced with the monk's words, Chen Xuan was not angry, but instead released a little of his pressure.
In an instant, the monk was so overwhelmed by the Emperor Wu’s pressure that his legs almost gave out.
His eyes showed shock, and he said in awe, "Donor, are you two here to become lay disciples?"
The calmness and composure just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.
To put it bluntly, this monk also treats people differently based on their status.
I didn’t know the strength of Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian just now, so I was very arrogant. Now that I know, I am just like an eggplant hit by frost, withered.
"Please inform the abbot and tell him that we are two lay disciples of the Buddhist world. Please be sure to accept us into Kutuo Temple."
Chen Xuan smiled and said, immediately restraining the pressure on his body and not making things difficult for the little monk.
In fact, they can find a place to hide in the Buddhist world and develop slowly.
However, Chen Xuan knew clearly that whether it was the Three Thousand Continents or the Demon Realm, they would definitely find him at all costs.
With their means, as long as you are still in the Five Realms, even if you are hiding at the ends of the earth, they will find a way to find your hiding place.
So there is no way. If you want to survive in this world, you still need someone to back you up.
Join the Buddhist community and become a lay disciple.
When something happens in the Buddhist world, lay disciples have to step in.
By the same token, when lay disciples are in trouble, the Buddhist world must also protect them.
"Two donors, please follow me into the main hall."
How could the young monk dare to neglect Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian? He immediately and respectfully invited them into Kutuo Temple and then took them to a large hall.
There was no one in the hall, but there were quite a few Buddha statues. Sitting in the center was the golden body of the Lord Buddha, and beside him were various Bodhisattvas.
Chen Xuan didn’t know what the Buddha’s name was, but it was definitely not Sakyamuni.
Chen Xuan couldn't remember the names of the Bodhisattva statues next to the Buddha, and he didn't know whether there was Guanyin Bodhisattva.
I don’t know much about Buddhism in this world.
In fact, if the demon world was not so hostile to humans, he would choose to go to the demon world instead of the Buddhist world.
Soon, the little monk came back.
This time, he also brought a group of monks with him.
The three leading monks were actually Emperor Wu.
Of course, in the Buddhist world, people don’t call him Emperor Wu, but Arhat.
In fact, there are hundreds of Martial Emperors in the entire Kutuo Temple. Some of them stay in the Kutuo Temple to practice, while some of them travel far away as ascetic monks, measuring the earth with their feet, step by step.
Sometimes the things these Buddhists do are quite outrageous. For example, they want people to live a better life, but they don’t teach people how to live a better life. Instead, they pray to God for blessings.
For example, if the crops in the field are about to dry up, whether it is the Martial Saint or the Martial Emperor, they only need to use magic power to move the clouds from other places, and the next rain will solve the drought.
Because that's what everyone in the Three Thousand Continents does. If God doesn't rain for me, I will make it rain myself.
But monks would not do this. They would choose to pray to God, hoping that it would rain soon.
For example, if there is no access to a certain place, and a road is built, people will not thank the person who built the road, but will thank God and Buddha.
Of course, this is only the case for some monks and believers.
Ordinary people are all different, and the same is true for monks. Every monk has different thoughts and personalities.
Bodhisattvas have compassionate hearts, but some have hearts of stone.
"My two benefactors, are you planning to become monks?"
The leader was an old monk with six scars on his forehead. His eyebrows were very long and white, hanging down like hair.
The same was true of his white beard, which looked like a whisk.
He was wearing a cassock and holding a scepter in his hand. It seemed that the person who could hold this thing must be the abbot of the temple.
"Yes, Abbot, we two are here to become monks and wish to become lay disciples."
Chen Xuan nodded. There was no need to hide anything, so he directly stated his purpose.
"Haha, my two benefactors, it's not that easy to become my lay disciples."
The abbot smiled.
Chen Xuan felt that his smile was a bit cunning.
In fact, we all say that we are lay disciples, and everyone knows in their hearts that it is nothing more than me being your thug and you being my umbrella, and we are in a cooperative relationship.
But what the abbot said was not that simple. What he meant was that if you want to be a lay disciple, you have to show your abilities.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan started counting his fingers.
Seeing him like this, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
We were chatting happily, why did he suddenly snap his fingers?
Finally, Chen Xuan showed five fingers.
For a moment, everyone's face was filled with confusion, even Ye Xiaotian who was standing beside him was bewildered.
What does five fingers mean?
Chen Xuan explained with a smile: "We killed five Martial Emperors. Is this record enough?"
Abbot: "..."
He was speechless for a moment.
His original intention was to let Chen Xuan show his strength. As long as Chen Xuan showed his aura of a Martial Emperor, that would be enough.
And he is actually showing off his achievements here?
Where is this?
He felt that Chen Xuan's way of thinking was a bit strange.
"Well, the donor actually killed five people. It seems that his sins are indeed grave. The sea of suffering is boundless. Turn back and put down the butcher knife to become a Buddha."
"Amitabha, it seems that the donor really needs to become a lay disciple of my Buddhist sect, chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha's name every day to wash away the sins on his body."
The abbot was speechless, but he spoke the polite words very nicely.
Look, what he said now actually directly agreed to let Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian become lay disciples.
"Thank you for your teachings, Abbot. We will definitely practice diligently!"
Chen Xuan also learned to put his hands together.
Next, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held.
After all, to become a lay disciple, one must find a master.
Chen Xuan and Ye Xiaotian both had the same master, who was the abbot.
The host’s strength is at the level of Arhat Great Perfection.
In other words, it is the realm of the supreme Martial Emperor, the same as Chen Xuan's current state.
Of course, if a fight really breaks out, he, as a master, is definitely not as good as his apprentice Chen Xuan.
However, it doesn’t matter whether the master is strong in fighting or not. What matters is that he can give Chen Xuan the identity of a lay disciple.
