Chapter 178 The Truth About Buddha
The food cooked in the Nine Mysterious Qi-returning Pot is indeed extraordinary. Ordinary rice and vegetables can be made into food and vegetables full of spiritual energy. In the dining room, apart from the sound of Xili snoring, no other noises can be heard.
Dazhi Dafutu's big hand, like a palm-leaf fan, holds the Nine Mysterious Qi-returning Pot, and there is a trace of incomparable satisfaction on his greasy round face. What can make a chef feel more accomplished than watching a group of elegant meditation people suddenly become unmannered and eat at the table?
As one of the nine great Buddhas in the Buddha Palace, Master Dazhi is willing to live in seclusion here and cook for the monks and ordinary people who pass by the Buddha Palace. Outsiders will never understand the hidden meaning. Master Dazhi's expression gradually became lonely. He sat cross-legged in the corner next to the Nine Mysterious Qi-returning Pot, supporting his chin with his hands, thinking about his thoughts.
Wu Yan was amazed while eating the delicious and spiritual food. In the entire dining room, the only one who had the leisure to pay attention to Master Dazhi was probably Wu Yan. Seeing Master Dazhi's lonely expression, Wu Yan was obviously stunned.
What else could make a Buddhist master who was in the late Jindan period distressed? I heard from the eldest brother that he was willing to come here to cook. If he was willing, why did he have such an expression?
The dining room was already full of monks who came to eat. They were eating happily and wished they could die here. Master Dazhi sat cross-legged in a corner of the Jiuxuan Huiqi pot. Whenever a monk entered the dining room, he would not even raise his eyelids, and casually patted the Jiuxuan Huiqi pot, and dishes of vegetables and rice would be sprayed out of the air holes for people to choose.
Wu Yan kept this matter in mind silently. After finishing the meal, he said goodbye to the eldest brother politely, and walked straight out of the dining room and returned to his residence.
After returning to Room 103 of Dongtianju, Wu Yan went to bed and sat cross-legged, entering a state of concentration. In the middle of the night, Wu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, got out of bed quietly, opened the window of the room, and looked out.
In the Mituo Mountain, there was a faint Buddha light everywhere, but under the cliff outside the window, it was dark and there was no light at all. Wu Yan was like a civet cat, quickly flipping out of the window, gently closing the window door, and hanging on a protruding rock on the cliff with one hand.
Wu Yan did not dare to release his spiritual consciousness here, so he could only climb down step by step with his super strong sense. After a few moments, he heard a familiar insect chirping nearby. Wu Yan was delighted and crawled in the direction of the sound. After a while, he appeared under a rock protruding more than ten feet from the mountain. On the cliff below the rock, there was a crack-like hole. Feng Hanxiao was hiding in the hole, pursing his lips to imitate the sound of insects.
"Big Brother, I'm here." Wu Yan climbed to the entrance of the cave and whispered.
"Come in and talk." Feng Hanxiao stepped back. The cave was formed naturally and was very narrow. It seemed that only two people could squeeze in it.
"Big Brother, why are you here?" Wu Yan asked in surprise. Now they didn't have to worry about being discovered, so they talked without hesitation.
"You still ask me? What did your second brother and I tell you before leaving? You kid, I asked you to watch the cave, but you ran out. What if someone breaks into our mountain gate cave?" Feng Hanxiao's expression became serious and he asked. But he had a playful face, and it looked a little funny to scold people with a stern face.
"Hehe, Big Brother, you are funnier when you scold people than when you make people laugh..."
"Stinky boy, be serious, I'm talking to you about business!" Feng Hanxiao raised his hand and slapped Wu Yan on the forehead. Wu Yan's laughing expression immediately turned into a bitter melon.
"Big Brother, if someone can really break into the formation set up by Master and Second Brother, what difference does it make whether I am in the cave or not?" Wu Yan argued. Feng Hanxiao listened and understood after a little thought, then smiled bitterly, "That's true. By the way, Fourth Brother, what are you doing here? Do you really want to join their pagoda party?"
"Big Brother, I don't even know what a pagoda is, how can I come here specifically for this? I have two friends who were forcibly invited by another group of unknown cultivators to come here some time ago to participate in this stupid pagoda. I was worried about their safety, so I came to see it. It's a pity that I saw so many cultivators today, but I didn't see them. It's really strange." Wu Yan pondered and spoke. Later, he seemed to remember something and frowned and asked: "Big Brother, what is this pagoda for? Why are there so many foundation-building cultivators?"
"You You don't even know what the Buddha is for, and you dare to come in? You kid, we three old guys used to think you were very calm. Do you know that in the past twenty years, the forces of the righteous and evil ways in the Great Zhou cultivation world have already taken shape. This Buddha Palace is a branch organization under the jurisdiction of the Demon Palace, a demon power, responsible for managing the affairs of the Tianlang County and Donghuang County cultivation world. A few years ago, the Qianhuan Sect of Donghuang County was defeated by the Demon Palace and fled to Zhongdu Prefecture. The spiritual land and mineral veins in Donghuang County were all occupied by the Demon Palace and handed over to the Buddha Palace for management. The Buddha Palace has limited manpower and is unable to accept all management. That's why they thought of this Buddha to recruit casual cultivators to assist them in management. As for the management fee, the commission method is implemented, that is, 20% of the items obtained from those spiritual land and mineral veins are drawn to pay the monks who assist in management. "Feng Hanxiao explained to Wu Yan in detail, but he seemed to be quite worried.
"I see. So this seems to be a good thing, right? I was still worried about my two friends. If this is true, wouldn't they be able to take this opportunity to make some spirit stones?"
"Old Four, your idea is too simple. Do you really think that the identity of the assistant is so easy? Is this amount of spiritual stones so easy to earn? Hey, in fact, this is where the Futu Palace is better than the Xianjian Sect and the Yaofu. Since it is a ****, it is naturally inseparable from fighting. This fighting is divided into two categories. The first category is to directly join the Futu Palace and become a lay monk of the Futu Palace. There is no need to shave your head to practice Buddhist skills. Everything remains the same as before, but from now on it is under the jurisdiction of the Futu Palace. This type of people need to fight each other to determine their status, and then be assigned to various places to be the master. The other type needs to fight to the death with the captured righteous monks. Only by killing a righteous monk can you pass the test and become the assistant of various places, that is, the deputy master. Therefore, no matter which kind of fighting method you choose, it is equivalent to being tied to the chariot of the Futu Palace and becoming a mortal enemy of the righteous Xianjian Sect in the future." Feng Hanxiao sighed.
"They are so insidious! Oh, by the way, Senior Brother, why are you here? Didn't you three say you were here to look for demon pills and spiritual medicines? Why did you separate?" Wu Yan asked curiously.
"I came here for a level 6 demon pill. I heard that the reason why the Qianhuan Sect was defeated so quickly was because a level 6 demon beast raised by the sect suddenly went crazy, broke through the mountain gate formation, and fled into the East Wasteland Mountain and disappeared. If not, the Qianhuan Sect could have relied on the power of its own formation to stop the enemy for a few days and make full preparations for a safe evacuation. The crazy level 6 demon beast is a rare 'East Wasteland Red Toad', which is a demon beast with the five elements. If we can kill it and get its demon pill, wouldn't that mean we have one more material for refining the Purple Yuan Pill?" Feng Hanxiao said excitedly, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
