Jia Xun’s voice carried a hint of reminiscing.
"At that ti, I was sowhat delighted. The great monk of the Golden Pool is the only surviving sage of the Buddhist Sect in the world. Being in contact with his reincarnated form would greatly benefit my future study of the Buddhist Technique."
"Moreover, personally nurturing and educating a reincarnated sage to maturity is an unparalleled honor."
"However, all of this was nothing more than my wishful thinking..."
Jia Xun frowned as he looked out the window, a trace of chill and an imperceptible... fear reflected in his eyes...
....
Three months ago, Buddha’s Son was born, plunging the Dragon Nurturing Temple into ecstasy.
Master Ku Wen negotiated with the Emperor Star Main Temple for a long ti, ultimately persuading them to abandon the idea of taking the Buddha’s Son back to the Emperor Star.
The Dragon Nurturing Temple shut its doors for seven days, reciting day and night to express Buddhist gratitude, bestowing the na Huan Wang, aning to encircle with no bla and hope for achievents.
The hope was for him to see his own changes, recall the rits of his previous life, and rebuild great achievents with this life.
In the secret chamber of the ditation courtyard in the back mountain of the Dragon Nurturing Temple.
Master Ku Wen was striking the wooden fish, while Jia Xun was chanting sutras at his side. As he chanted, a faint, ethereal Buddhist light appeared around him, weak yet extraordinarily pure.
Noticing this scene, Ku Wen’s eyes filled with an indescribable pride.
"Jia Xun."
Master Ku Wen spoke softly.
"Disciple is here, Teacher, did you call today because you have sothing to instruct?"
Jia Xun spoke with utmost respect, his hands clasped together.
The relationship between Ku Wen and him was both that of a ntor and a father, imparting Buddhist Technique, Martial Arts Dao, and offering close and loving care.
Therefore, Jia Xun had always deeply respected Ku Wen.
"Why do you ask like this? In the past, I have also called you to the secret chamber to chant sutras, asked you to listen to the teachings in the ditation courtyard. Why do you think today specifically that I have sothing to instruct?"
Master Ku Wen spoke.
"Master, please don’t test . The great monk has been reincarnated, and Huan Wang, the Buddha’s Son, has entered our temple. You summoned alone to the ditation courtyard while the entire temple is chanting sutras; it must be related to the great monk, or else I would not believe it."
In front of Ku Wen, the usually impeccable, courteous Jia Xun showed a touch of liveliness.
"Indeed, in that way, you are like , intelligent." Master Ku Wen said with a smile.
Then, he placed the wooden fish on the ground, turned around, looked seriously into Jia Xun’s eyes, and spoke.
"Jia Xun, I plan to let you guide Huan Wang. Firstly, although the great monk successfully reincarnated with Heart and Spirit, after reincarnation, for a long ti, he is like a child, at most with so mystical signs."
"You, being the Buddha’s Son of this era, by getting close to him now, teaching by example and precept, can better educate him. In the future, when you take charge of the Celestial Capital Dragon Nurturing Temple, and he as Buddha’s Son, the two of you working together will surely allow our Dragon Nurturing Temple to regain its forr glory."
"Moreover, Huan Wang is still young, and his inherent Buddhahood remains. By being with him, you can naturally absorb the Buddhahood, which will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
Ku Wen explained the reasoning to Jia Xun clearly.
In fact, as long as it was a request from Ku Wen, Jia Xun would rarely refuse, let alone this matter was his ntor paving the path for him. Jia Xun naturally had no reason to refuse.
Being able to nurture and accompany a reincarnated sage’s growth is sothing many would never dare to dream of.
Jia Xun readily accepted.
And he promised not to let his ntor down, after which he went to the residence of Huan Wang, the Buddha’s Son.
On the day Huan Wang was born, after uttering earth-shattering words, he seemingly forgot how to speak, babbling incoherently, and waving his lotus-like little arms ssily.
He appeared like an ordinary child, but Ku Wen and the others knew this was a sign of obscured Heart and Spirit. All who experience Heart and Spirit’s reincarnation have their Heart and Spirit clouded, losing all past mories, forgetting everything until enlightennt washes away the ordinariness, reminding them of all the past.
It was the first ti that Jia Xun had seen Huan Wang so closely. When the Buddha’s Son was born, Ku Wen and other senior monks firmly protected him, and he was not allowed to et them.
"Jia Xun, from now on, you will be the one to care for Huan Wang. His Heart and Spirit are clouded; now he is like an ordinary infant. A wet nurse will take care of him daily, and at other tis, you must chant sutras with him, speak of Buddhist Teachings, let him..."
Ku Wen, fearing his disciple would make a mistake, was earnestly advising from the side.
However, he didn’t notice that his usually obedient disciple was now looking at the babbling... infant on the bed with an utterly terrified expression.
The voice of Ku Wen beca sowhat blurred, as if the entire world was drifting away.
"An unawakened Bodhisattva Celestial Eye, such a rare phenonon, who would have thought it would appear on a place like Celestial City Star."
"Little one, do not panic; it was I who helped you awaken the Celestial Eye early. All fortunes and misfortunes are before your eyes."
A profoundly compassionate voice, brimming with imnse rcy, now echoed in Jia Xun’s ears, filled his nostrils with the rich scent of sandalwood.
That voice seed to beco the only lody in this world.
"All in this world has cause and effect, opening your eyes is the cause; you must repay with effect. This is my reasoning and also the Buddhist Teachings."
"My existence must not be revealed to others in the temple, or else... many evil consequences will befall them... this is my reasoning, and also...
Buddhist Teachings!!!"
The compassionate voice instantly turned cold and slippery, while the previously rich sandalwood scent morphed into an inexplicable stench...
At this mont, Jia Xun felt exceedingly cold all over, his body stiffened as he lifted his head slowly, looking above the infant.
