Chapter 1587 - Chapter 1587 Chapter Fifty-Four Entering the Buddha Pagoda

Chapter 1587: Chapter Fifty-Four: Entering the Buddha Pagoda Chapter 1587: Chapter Fifty-Four: Entering the Buddha Pagoda Among the meticulously arranged temple complex, thirty-seven layers of Buddhist pagodas pierce the skies–a spectacle unique to the Nanshan School and the most iconic structure of the Nanshan Legal Realm.

Therein are stored the Buddhist scriptures of Buddha’s Country, all eighty-four thousand volumes, as well as the fruits of a millennium of arduous research by the Nanshan School’s eminent monks and sages.

According to the legends of Buddha’s Country, an ordinary monk would be unable to finish reading the classics within the pagoda in his lifetime.

“So you see, there are too many mediocrities in the world, which is why legends everywhere cannot be believed.”

Leading the young monk Yuan Xiang with a swagger, Yuan Xing cheerfully said, “Didn’t Yankong claim to have read all eighty-four thousand volumes of the scriptures and subsequently attained the Bodhisattva Fruit Position through the Path of No Suffering and Extinction?”

“After all, how many people can match the prodigious talent of Wuxiang Zen Temple’s Buddha Son?”

Yuan Xiang nodded and added, “It’s indeed impossible for an ordinary life to finish the eighty-four thousand volumes.”

“Others of course can’t, but you definitely can.”

Yuan Xiang blinked, pointed at himself, and doubted, “Me?”

“Yes, if these eighty-four thousand volumes were for you to read, at most it would take half a day for you to finish.”

Yuan Xing grinned like a cunning fox, secretly passed a trick through mental communication, which made Yun Xiu admire greatly.

Amidst laughter and jokes, the two arrived in front of the pagoda.

Looking up, the majestic pagodas reaching into the clouds were awe-inspiring, and the solemn, sacred luminescence between the layers sprinkled across the world, compelling reverence in one’s heart.

Tang Luo, who had always been leading Yun Xiu, bowed his head and did his utmost to restrain the discomfort of the Buddhist influence invading his body, locking all his Spiritual Energy tightly around the Star Core in his dantian.

The last time he felt such a sensation was in front of the White Jade Sword Pavilion in Ying City, but this time the pressure was even greater.

The golden beads hanging at each corner of the pagoda’s tiers, the relics of Vinaya School’s Arhats and even Bodhisattvas who have entered nirvana, were not only dazzlingly bright but lethally so!

‘No wonder such an essential place like the Nanshan Legal Realm Pagoda doesn’t have a single guard.’

Tang Luo thought to himself, appearing calm as he walked with Yuan Xiang to the gate of the pagoda, where two gatekeepers from the eastern order of the Nanshan School obviously recognized their own two monks about to ascend the Dragon Gate.

But recognition aside, some processes had to be followed.

A wooden staff was placed horizontally in front of Yuan Xing, and the gatekeeper monk Ben Heng asked, “Why aren’t the two junior brothers at the city gate welcoming people and instead turning up here at the pagoda?”

The gatekeeper monk’s speech was clear, but when it reached Tang Luo’s ears, it was like an enigma, as the language spoken was not the official language.

Fortunately, Yun Xiu, disguised as Yuan Xiang, timely stepped forward and timidly said to the gatekeeper monk, “Elder brother… please understand, we… couldn’t wait for… Sect Head’s old friend, and… Jifeng Zen Assembly… has already started, so we…”

“Ah, I get it, I get it.”

Not waiting for Yuan Xiang’s hesitations to end, Ben Heng lowered the raised staff, waved his hand impatiently, and said: “Right now, the Sect Head and the three elder monks are leading the Great Zen Masters from the other eight sects on a tour of the pagoda. You guys wait in the lower levels, and after the Sect Head’s tour has concluded, a monk will naturally bring you up.”

“Thank you, elder brother.”

Seeing Ben Heng letting them through, Yuan Xiang led Yuan Xing further inside the pagoda gate, but after just a couple of steps, they were stopped by another staff.

Yuan Xiang was startled and followed the staff to see another gatekeeper monk holding the staff, his gaze unfriendly as he stared at Yuan Xing.

“Do you really think you can enter just like this?”

The gatekeeper monk’s question, filled with anger, made Yun Xiu’s heart skip a beat. She then felt a surge of strength from the hand she was holding, a sign that Tang Luo had perceived the gatekeeper monk’s ill intentions and was about to take action.

She quickly held back, calming the wrath of her linguistically challenged husband. Yuan Xiang, looking down, turned to Ben Heng and weakly said, “Elder… elder brother, this is…”

Ben Heng, who had been leaning on his staff and expecting some amusement, heard Yuan Xiang’s pleading tone, laughed proudly, then advised the unfriendly looking gatekeeper monk, “Forget it, forget it, junior brother Ben Chuan, let these two youngsters through. Anyway, they haven’t passed the Sect Head’s test, there’s always another day.”

From Ben Heng’s persuasion, Yun Xiu keenly sensed that the situation wasn’t going to worsen, took a deep breath of relief, and communicated to Tang Luo, ‘It seems that Yuan Xing and Yuan Xiang must have some past conflict with this gatekeeper monk. My husband, please remain calm and let me handle this.’

“Hmph, of course you can pass.”

The gatekeeper monk gently lowered his raised staff, his voice dripping with malice as he said: “But passing by your elder brother without even a greeting, don’t you even understand the courtesy of showing respect to your seniors and superiors?”

So it was for this reason; Yun Xiu suddenly understood, and quickly bowed, saying, “Greetings to elder brother Ben…”

“No need for you!”

Ben Chuan raised his staff again, pointing at Yuan Xing, who had remained expressionless, and said: “Let him speak. Wasn’t he so confident when he walked over just now, the undisputed top rank?”

It’s mediocrity not to provoke envy, but such intensity in relations among sect members might also be thanks to Yuan Xing’s blunt personality.

But unexpectedly, they were now blocked at the gate of Nanshan Legal Realm Pagoda for such an absurd reason.

And disastrously, how could Tang Luo greet Ben Chuan when he couldn’t speak Sanskrit?

Suddenly, the situation at the gate of the pagoda became tense, and just when Yun Xiu was about to use her Charming Eyes to hypnotize the two gatekeeper monks, a voice suddenly rang from afar.

“Hey, hey, two young masters!”

A young monk with a brisk pace waved and shouted, sprinting towards the Legal Realm Pagoda.

Beads of sweat under the Buddha’s light soaked his short garment, with the scripture bag on his back swaying back and forth.
