Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Buddha’s Disciple, Devil’s Disciple!

As far as the eye could see, the entire hall was spacious and bright.

Before them stood a gold Buddha statue several meters tall, radiating an aura of power without anger.

In front of the Buddha statue, a bronze incense burner was set, the thin wafts of smoke providing a sense of tranquility.

On the walls were mural paintings of various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

A spiral staircase extended upwards, leading to each of the nine floors.

Each floor was lined with massive bookshelves.

These shelves were filled with a variety of ancient books on Buddhist teachings, martial arts, and medicinal recipes.

After all, this was the first time Lionel Yeager, Lily Tisdale, and Prajna Bates had entered the Scripture Storage Pavilion of Forest, so they couldn’t help but be awestruck by the sight before them.

At this moment, the soft rustle of sweeping could be heard in the distance.

The four of them looked up to see an old monk not far away wielding a long broom, sweeping the ground.

The Old Monk was thin and wore a light gray monk’s robe, with his eyebrows and beard flecked with white hairs.

Despite his seeming age, this Old Monk exuded incredible vitality and had sharp eyes.

This Old Monk was the eminent sage who had saved Bardon Bard by striking Louis Corcoran, Kevin Franklin, and Sam Lee away with a single palm strike three days ago.

He was also Bardon Bard’s master, Master Logan Trevino.

"Master, your disciple has come to visit you!"

Tears welled up in Bardon Bard’s eyes as he dropped to his knees.

Master Logan Trevino sighed gently, then waved the broom in his hand.

In an instant!

A powerful gust of wind swept towards the entrance!

With a loud "clang"!

Both large doors slammed shut!

Master Logan Trevino spoke calmly, "Benefactors, please join me upstairs."

As he spoke, Master Logan Trevino set down the broom and walked towards the upper level.

Lionel Yeager and the others hurriedly followed suit.

Soon, the four of them had followed Master Logan Trevino to the ninth floor of the Scripture Storage Pavilion.

The ninth floor was spacious and well-lit, and through the several enormous open windows, the undulating Mountains and Rivers, lush jungles, and winding rivers could be seen, opening their hearts and minds.

Next to one of the windows was a low table with a set of coffee utensils placed on top.

A coffee pot rested on a small furnace, the water within boiling and giving off "gurgling" sounds, tendrils of steam rising from the pot.

Next to the low table were five cushions.

Seeing all this, Lionel Yeager was slightly taken aback.

Clearly, Master Logan Trevino had known they were coming and had prepared all this, waiting for their arrival.

Walking to the table, Master Logan Trevino raised his hand, "Benefactors, please have a seat."

After the four of them were seated,

Master Logan Trevino poured a cup of coffee for each of them.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lionel Yeager expressed his thanks and then took a sip of coffee.

He may not have had much interest in the other members of Forest, but he certainly held great respect for the Old Monk before him.

Firstly, the Old Monk was Bardon Bard’s master.

Secondly, despite his immense capabilities, the Old Monk remained unassuming and content to be a sweeping monk in the Scripture Storage Pavilion.

With a benevolent expression, Master Logan Trevino looked at Bardon Bard and asked, "Bardon, have your injuries improved?"

With hands pressed together, Bardon Bard respectfully replied, "Thank you for your concern, Master. My injuries have indeed gotten much better."

"That’s good."

Master Logan Trevino nodded in approval.

Setting down his cup, Lionel Yeager looked at Master Logan Trevino and asked, "Master, you must have known that we were coming to Forest, right?

And, you must be aware of my altercation with the Forest Sect Leader just now, aren’t you?"

"This humble monk is naturally aware."

Master Logan Trevino replied.

"Then why didn’t you help?"

Lionel Yeager asked, continuing, "If you had stepped in, I would probably not be a match for you."

Master Logan Trevino sighed deeply and said, "The present-day Forest is no longer the same as before. Nowadays, the people of the Forest are arrogant and despotic, having none of the humility that our Buddhist Sector disciples should have.

If I were to intervene, it would only further fuel their arrogance.

It is necessary for them to learn a lesson so that they would know there are people beyond people, and skies beyond skies.

Moreover, I have been here for many years, and I no longer concern myself with the endless battles and disputes of the secular world."

Lionel Yeager admired, "Master, although you are secluded in this small Scripture Storage Pavilion, you are well aware of the current situation in the Forest.

Furthermore, you possess great strength, yet you do not strive for power or victory. Your mind is as calm as water, unperturbed by ripples.

I truly respect you."

Master Logan Trevino waved his hand and said, "I am merely old, and as I have seen many people and things, this state of mind comes naturally. It is not much."

He then asked, "I wonder what brings you all here to seek me out?"

Lionel Yeager replied, "Master, I want to know what secret Bardon Bard hides within himself.

Why did he have such a situation at the Ten Thousands of Swords Gate three days ago?"

Master Logan Trevino slowly said, "As for the secret hidden within Bardon Bard, I actually only know half of it.

Many years ago, when I was traveling, I found an infant in swaddling clothes in the mountains, and it was Bardon Bard.

Thus, I brought him back to the Forest to be raised.

Later, I gradually discovered that Bardon Bard had extraordinary roots, full of Buddha-nature, and was a natural Buddhist child, which surprised me greatly.

However, as Bardon Bard slowly grew up, I found out that he not only had abundant Buddha-nature but also harbored a trace of demon-nature.

I once tried to help Bardon Bard resolve the demon-nature, but it was entirely impossible.

Bardon Bard’s Buddha-nature and demon-nature are both innate, and there is no way to dispel them.

In other words, Bardon Bard is both a natural Buddha child and a natural demon child..."

Upon hearing Master Logan Trevino’s words,

Lionel Yeager, Lily Tisdale, and Prajna Bates suddenly became astonished.

They never expected that Bardon Bard had such a huge secret hidden within him!

A natural Buddha child!

A natural demon child!

The simultaneous existence of Buddha-nature and demon-nature in one person is simply too strange!

As for Bardon Bard, he was also stunned at this moment, looking at Master Logan Trevino with a dumbfounded expression.

He swallowed hard and said blankly, "Master, are you telling the truth, that I have both Buddha-nature and demon-nature in my body?"

"Of course it’s true."

Master Logan Trevino nodded gently.

"Damn it!"

Bardon Bard couldn’t help but swear, "So does that mean I might become a Buddha or a demon?

Doesn’t that make me neither fish nor fowl?!"

"Bardon Bard, refrain from speaking recklessly!"

Master Logan Trevino chided softly.

Bardon Bard hurriedly closed his mouth in fear.

Lionel Yeager, Lily Tisdale, and Prajna bates secretly laughed in their hearts.

Bardon Bard was usually lawless, but he was quite well-behaved in front of Master Logan Trevino.

Master Logan Trevino continued, "It is precisely because of this that Bardon Bard’s character is contradictory.

He is both righteous and kind while also full of evil and murderous intent.

Over the years, I’ve been advising him, but the results haven’t been significant.

He refuses to keep the precepts and discipline of the Forest and is unrepentant.

It is precisely for this reason that the Sect Leader and the others were frustrated and expelled him from the Forest.

However, I knew that this had to do with Bardon Bard’s inherent nature, so I did not blame him.

Moreover, I feel that it is good for Bardon Bard to leave the Forest.

Without the constraints and restrictions here, perhaps he can truly find his own heart and his own path..."
