Chapter 1595: Chapter 1597: I Have Soone Above , Do You Understand?
Li Xiaobai and Ma Niubi followed the guidance of the small token, heading towards a certain direction in the temple.
The temple was grand in scale, but almost devoid of any human presence. The direction pointed by the small token extended into the mountain forest.
“I would imagine the monks of Lingyin Temple all cultivate within the great mountains, resulting in a rather peaceful temple.”
“Settling in the place of cultivation is convenient for practice. This indicates that the monks of Lingyin Temple are not lazy, and even without supervision, they strive hard.”
Li Xiaobai and Ma Niubi whispered to each other as they entered the vast mountain.
The mountain was so high and far that the end couldn’t be seen, and no one knew what lay on the other side.
“Amitabha, the two masters must be Master Wuhu and Master Ma, I presu?”
As soon as they entered, a monk erged from the underground, which seed to be a kind of tunneling technique.
This was a bald strong man with muscular knots all over, giving Li Xiaobai and Ma suspicious looks.
“Amitabha, may I know what brings the masters here? Are you here to greet this humble monk?”
Li Xiaobai scrutinized the monk with a glance, confirming that he didn’t recognize him, and had never seen him at the Debating Buddha Platform.
“Nothing major, just heard that brother Lingtang fell at the hands of Master Wuhu, so I ca to see this divine presence!”
“This humble monk Lingtuo, greeting the two masters, my respects to you.”
Lingtuo greeted with a smile, joined his hands together and bowed, appearing quite humble.
“Ah, it’s Master Lingtuo, such praise! If you hadn’t ntioned, this humble monk would have forgotten who Master Lingtang was. This humble monk never crossed paths with Master Lingtang, so the earlier statent is baseless.”
Li Xiaobai said lightly.
“Then why did brother Lingtang lose to you?”
“Perhaps he saw as his opponent, while in this humble monk’s eyes, there’s never been an opponent.”
Lingtuo: “…”
This deanor was refreshingly transcendent, leaving him montarily speechless.
“Is Master Wuhu heading to the cave residence?”
“Indeed, earlier Master Lingtai gave a guiding token.”
“Master may not be aware, but the temple hasn’t prepared any cave residences for monks, requiring one to manually excavate. It’s better to follow to the monks’ dense area, making it easier for mutual care in the future.”
Monk Lingtuo said chuckling, finally revealing his true intentions.
This guy wanted to lead them to their territory, making Li Xiaobai and Ma Niubi susceptible to manipulation.
“No need, I thought the monks of Lingyin Temple spent all day cultivating and thus lived secluded in the mountains. But it turns out, they’re incredibly idle, a miscalculation on my part.”
“I suppose the masters are here to get closer to the mountains’ creatures, keeping a pure heart, right?”
Li Xiaobai spoke up, happily conversing.
These words instantly changed Lingtuo’s expression. Although he was muscular and robust, he had a sharp mind. Wasn’t this just saying he was wasting ti, idly looking for trouble?
No wonder he’s capable of making brother Lingtang suffer, truly a character.
“Amitabha, this humble monk is ashad. My brothers practice diligently all day, but I have lagged behind.”
“Today, upon hearing that the two masters will reside in Lingyin Temple, both this humble monk and fellow brothers were delighted and ca to greet you. But since the masters have other plans, let this humble monk escort you for a while. This dense forest is inhabited by Demonic Beasts, best not disturb you two.”
Monk Lingtuo quickly managed his expressions, speaking kindly.
“Follow behind.”
Li Xiaobai didn’t waste words, heading directly towards the direction indicated by the small token.
Ma Niubi didn’t even glance back, brushing past him.
Monk Lingtuo’s eyes turned cold, his face as calm as water, following behind in silence, feeling aggrieved for the first ti, getting ordered to follow from behind.
He had a task at hand. Since he couldn’t lead Li Xiaobai and Ma Niubi away, he followed, noting their residence location, making it easier to cause trouble later if needed.
“Amitabha, the two masters are newcors and may not fully understand this vast mountain.”
“The geology of this place is unlike any other. Legend has it that it’s originally a Magic Treasure used by Buddha to suppress worldly evil, later falling into the mortal realm, becoming this continuous mountain range. Though thousands of years have passed, the treasure’s Divine Power is already exhausted, digging a cave here would require great effort.”
“Two masters’ cultivation levels have much room for improvent. If needed, this humble monk is willing to assist.”
Monk Lingtuo spoke from behind, seemingly a chatterbox, not only speaking excessively but also slyly mocking Li Xiaobai and Ma Niubi’s weak cultivation.
“We’ve arrived!”
Li Xiaobai couldn’t be bothered with him; the small token stopped at a small hilltop.
On it were small bridges over flowing water, pavilions and towers, mist shrouded, like an Immortal Realm.
Not just a cave residence, but houses fully built, a true paradise.
“The view is nice, with mountains, water, flowers, and trees; definitely a hilltop villa.”
“Master Lingtai is quite reliable in this regard, didn’t give us a hard ti.”
Li Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction and then turned towards monk Lingtuo behind him, asking, “What did you say earlier?”
“This…”
Lingtuo looked on in disbelief from behind, what kind of treatnt is this?
Never before had he heard of Lingyin Temple directly constructing houses for monks. Using cultivation techniques, spending days and nights to excavate a cave was a mandatory course for every monk in Lingyin Temple.
One reason was to hone one’s temperant and will, and the other was to show the difference between individuals. The deeper the cave excavation, the stronger the cultivation level.
This was said by Supervisor Lingtai himself, how co it’s different for these two newcors?
“How did you do this?”
“Did Supervisor Lingtai say anything when you arrived?”
Lingtuo asked dumbfounded, feeling he had lost thoroughly, comparing their simple caves to this luxurious hilltop villa made their efforts seem primitive.
“No, he didn’t.”
“Amitabha, it seems Master Lingtuo hasn’t witnessed a true genius, unaware that geniuses break norms.”
“Rules serve the diocre, not applicable to geniuses, besides, I have connections above.”
Li Xiaobai pointed upward, smilingly speaking.
“You… above is…”
Lingtuo’s expression changed suddenly, seemingly realizing sothing.
“Keep it discreet.”
“I understand your intention, Master Lingtuo. I hope the master can stand in the right position, not make choices that will lead to lifelong regrets. Report any news from Lingtang to tily, do you understand?”
