Chapter 1561: Chapter 1563: The Numb Crowd
Clip-clop, clip-clop.
Li Xiaobai and Monk Jigong ascended together, and after reaching the third floor, it was as if they had instantly returned to the real world.
“Phew…”
Li Xiaobai exhaled, feeling as if everything that had just happened hadn’t occurred, yet it all seed so real.
Li Xiaobai knew his judgnt was correct earlier; once he stepped from the second to the third floor, it indeed felt like stepping into a dream, more precisely entering an Illusionary Realm.
Monk Jigong also walked out unscathed, as if nothing had happened.
Upon ascending, they exchanged glances and surveyed the surroundings, which were distinct from the first and second floors.
Compared to the second floor, the third floor was significantly more tranquil; the quietness here implied one thing, the price of dishes on the third floor reached astronomical levels.
However, the rich Buddha Power here confird the place was truly extraordinary.
Upon closer inspection, it lacked the atmosphere of the Fasting Hall below and didn’t have the usual tables and chairs, but a few ditation mats.
The seemingly ordinary mats had a faint golden glow, indicating many senior monks had been ditating on them and over ti, they developed this glow.
“Not bad, not bad…”
Monk Jigong seed much clearer after ascending, evidently drawn by everything here.
The supervisor of the third floor was a monk with a gaunt face, whose strength was hard to estimate, but he boasted a thick Buddha aura.
Li Xiaobai and he exchanged glances, feeling instantly enlightened.
The old monk seed sowhat amazed by the presence of the two who had arrived.
Evidently, few people could reach the third floor, especially in this manner.
“This old monk, Wuyun, pays respect to the two benefactors!”
The old monk’s voice carried a hint of admiration, especially directed towards Li Xiaobai.
Looking at Monk Jigong, Bianji felt as if he saw a vast ocean with no boundaries.
But upon closer inspection, Bianji found nothing else, which was unexpected.
“Little Monk, Monk Wuhu…”
“Jigong…”
The three greeted each other, and after revealing their nas, Wuyun gestured for Li Xiaobai and Monk Jigong to sit.
However, Monk Jigong and Li Xiaobai now needed to take a good look around.
Monk Jigong seed not entirely unfamiliar with this place, whereas Li Xiaobai looked at the third-floor teahouse-like setup, unsure of how he could dine without paying.
The first and second floors had nus, but on this third floor, there was only Monk Wuyun, leaving Li Xiaobai a bit helpless.
“Though there’s no nu here, it seems pricey to consu, let’s not rush into anything…”
Li Xiaobai thought for a mont, found the closest mat to Wuyun, and slowly sat down.
Being anxious would be inappropriate.
“You two are here to ditate on Zen and the Buddha, naturally guided by fate!”
“Please sit, this tea will increase Buddha Power!”
The old monk’s voice resonated with the feeling of the infinite Buddhist Law, leaving Li Xiaobai slightly indifferent, and Monk Jigong unchanged.
Their calm deanor made the old monk’s drooping eyelids tremble a bit.
Clearly, these two were not ordinary; any other guests would have started contemplating Buddhism here.
Yet, seemingly unrelated to Buddhism, the old monk could feel their steadfast Buddha heart or rather an unyielding determination.
Such determination was enough to earn Elder Wuyun’s attention…
“Regardless, being able to bring these two here suggests fate.”
Elder Wuyun pondered a bit about Monk Wuhu, finding nothing significant yet, only acknowledging the decent fortune.
Monk Jigong captured the attention of Elder Wuyun.
Monk Jigong appeared dirty, having feasted earlier, with an unpleasant scent.
But at Elder Wuyun’s realm, external appearances mattered little.
Neither Fem Fatale nor malevolent deities could influence Elder Wuyun.
“During the Debating Buddha Platform, these two appeared, not knowing if it’s good or bad.”
“But since stepping into this place, let’s see their fate!”
Elder Wuyun pondered deeply, unsure of the future for these two.
Yet, he knew their presence during the Debating Buddha Platform indicated it wouldn’t be simple this ti.
Even if Monk Jigong didn’t participate, with Monk Wuhu alone, it might still stir the heavens.
For Elder Wuyun, this wasn’t a major concern.
Because Elder Wuyun wasn’t part of that monastery nor did he have any juniors involved here.
What puzzled Elder Wuyun was how these two ascended so easily.
“It seems the Debating Buddha Platform indeed has so variables.”
“After nurous years, the rankings were almost settled, any disturbance now is a good thing!”
Elder Wuyun murmured, his thoughts were simple now — go with the flow.
Since Monk Wuhu and Monk Jigong reached the third floor of the Fasting Hall, Elder Wuyun need not intervene further, rely watching them practice here.
If he intervened excessively, it would be inappropriate.
Moreover, given how these two ascended, it would be difficult for Elder Wuyun to disrupt.
“Is there a nu!”
Elder Wuyun was pondering how to change the situation when a voice sounded.
Wanting to predict the future of the two ahead, Elder Wuyun was montarily stunned.
Unexpectedly, those arriving asked if there was a nu.
Typically, those engaged in contemplation here wouldn’t converse much, imdiately seeking enlightennt.
Or request Elder Wuyun for a cup of fragrant tea, comprehending on their own.
Yet, soone due to desire directly asked about the first and second floor nus.
“This…”
Elder Wuyun’s usually transcendent deanor changed, unsure of how to respond.
Initially, Elder Wuyun hoped to inquire about their interest in Buddhist scriptures or any unclear doctrines.
The third floor had chanisms; typical Buddhist principles and sect doctrines were available, and Elder Wuyun’s explanations were highly sought.
But Monk Wuhu was concerned not about hearing Buddhist principles but if there was a nu.
Elder Wuyun never envisioned such a request, and was uncertain how to answer, this altered his judgnt of Monk Wuhu and Monk Jigong.
“Is there or not? If not, I’ll leave!”
Li Xiaobai asked, appearing uninterested in the surroundings.
