57. Enlightennt
Inside the ditation room, Lin Fei saw two old monks sitting on ditation cushions. Both of them had white beards, and although they looked very old, their spirits were still high.
There was a faint sll of incense in the air that seed to calm the mind and bring peace.
"Lin Fei greets the two masters," Lin Fei respectfully bowed to the two old monks.
One of the white-bearded old monks smiled and spoke, "Donor Lin, I heard from people of the Zhang family that you also have mastery in Buddhism, so you want to discuss Buddhism with us?"
Lin Fei shook his head slightly and said, "I dare not claim mastery, but I have read the Diamond Sutra and have so doubts. I hope the two masters can enlighten ."
"Oh, the Diamond Sutra? Please speak, donor," the old monk said.
Lin Fei began to recite so verses from the Diamond Sutra. In fact, because of the Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique, he read a lot of Buddhist scriptures every day, especially the Diamond Sutra, so he could recite them fluently.
Lin Fei and the two monks began to exchange their understanding of Buddhism and Buddhist doctrine.
The two Zen masters were highly skilled in Buddhism and had a deep understanding of it. Lin Fei also received a long-awaited ssage from his system.
"Your Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique, hearing the profound Buddhist teachings, has entered into enlightennt, and its cultivation progress has increased by 50%."
"Your Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique has broken through to the eighth level."
As ti passed, Lin Fei's Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique benefited greatly from the exchange with the two Zen masters. Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique broke through to the eighth level during its enlightennt.
However, the two Zen masters were already advanced in years, and after two or three hours of talking, they were feeling tired. Lin Fei bid farewell to them, but he did not leave. Instead, he stayed at the temple because his Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique had not yet reached the limit of body refinent.
He did not want to miss the opportunity of exchanging Buddhist teachings with the two Zen masters every day. He knew that it would greatly benefit his cultivation.
So, Lin Fei inford the Zhang family. Then he lived in the Hongfa Temple. He exchanged Buddhist teachings with the two high monks of the Hongfa Temple every day.
The two Zen masters of the Hongfa Temple also enjoyed exchanging Buddhist teachings with Lin Fei.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.
During these ten-plus days, Lin Fei's Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique had been improving every day. However, after reaching the ninth layer, the speed of improvent slowed down. But even if it was slower, it was gradually approaching its limit.
One day, after just finishing the exchange with the two Zen masters, Lin Fei couldn't wait to return to his room.
"System."
Lin Fei imdiately brought up the system panel to check his martial arts.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Acquired First Level
Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (0% progress)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (18% progress)
Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique: Ninth level (99% progress)
Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% progress)
Lin Fei saw that the progress of his Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique had reached 99%. It was only 1% away from reaching the limit of Body Refining and giving birth to inner power.
Lin Fei was burning with enthusiasm. Naturally, this couldn't stump him. He imdiately took out many Buddhist scriptures and began reciting them.
Gradually, Lin Fei could clearly feel that the Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique was improving little by little. Perhaps, he could give birth to inner power today.
...
"Bang, bang, bang."
Outside the ditation room, a novice monk anxiously knocked on the door of the two Zen masters.
"Two masters, sothing bad happened...Cian has returned..." The novice's voice revealed a hint of panic.
"Don't panic, you're saying that Cian has returned?"
"Yes, Cian has returned. The martial monks have surrounded him, but they can't capture him. Moreover, Cian has even killed several martial monks."
"Namo Amitabha, what has to co will co. Let's go and see. Oh, and..." The Zen master stopped.
"Let a novice monk inform Lin Fei that there is danger in the temple and ask him to leave the Hongfa Temple."
"Yes, master!"
So the novice monk left imdiately.
The two Zen masters arrived at the back gate of Hongfa Temple.
In an open space behind the gate lay many corpses of martial monks. The air was filled with a hint of blood.
Many martial monks surrounded a short-haired man holding a curved saber. The saber was stained with blood, and it was evident that the man had killed the martial monks on the ground.
"Amitabha. Cian, since you were expelled from Hongfa Temple, why did you co back to cause more trouble?" shouted Master Fayuan.
The man with the curved saber sneered, "Fayuan, Fajue, you have finally arrived."
"When I ca to Hongfa Temple, I only wanted to beco a martial monk to avenge myself," he continued.
"You have acquired martial arts skills, but you refused to teach . You accused of holding grudges and being unsuitable to beco a monk. Eventually, you expelled from Hongfa Temple," he said with a cold smile. "But what in the end? I still learned martial arts, and I even beca an acquired martial artist!"
Fayuan sighed deeply and said, "Since you have achieved what you wanted, you should be happy. Why did you co back to cause trouble again?"
"Hmph, although I learned martial arts, do you know how I have lived these past few years?" Cian asked angrily.
"I have been living on the edge of life and death every day, constantly fighting. If you hadn't expelled from Hongfa Temple, how could I have lived such a hell-like life?"
"So, I made a silent vow that I would make Hongfa Temple regret it when I beca proficient in martial arts," he said, his tone full of hatred.
He hated Hongfa Temple so much that if they had taught him martial arts, he would have avenged himself and not ended up in such a miserable state, enduring inhumane torture.
Therefore, he wanted to take revenge on Hongfa Temple, even to the point of burning it to the ground, to ease his hatred.
