Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Heavenly Dao (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"What’s... what’s going on?"

Lu Jianping stared at the scene, dumbstruck.

He saw that Daoist Xian Yunzi appeared very calm, pushed open the old wooden doors, and walked into the temple.

He couldn’t help but say, "Wait for me..."

And hurriedly followed him inside.

Zhong Shenxiu stood in front of a mural, with his hands behind his back.

Lu Jianping came closer and his expression immediately became extremely stiff.

In the mural was a village scene, with a large mansion that was very conspicuous.

In front of the mansion, there were several small figures.

Although somewhat blurry, Lu Jianping could still recognize the outlines of people like He Weng, Zhang Tiezhong, Heihe Daoist, and Monk Yuan Kong.

"This... what’s going on?"

He couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

"Si Province is broken, how could there be such a tranquil utopia... naturally, everything is false, there’s no village here, only a broken temple."

Zhong Shenxiu sneered, "And we have entered into this mural, if we cannot break the mystery, it will be very dangerous... we might be assimilated, and forever become part of the painting."

Hearing this, Lu Jianping shivered.

"So that’s it..."

He thought about Monk Yuan Kong and the sleazy Heihe Daoist, who felt just like living people until now, and found it hard to believe.

"A mere mural is just a trifling thing... what really interests me is this temple."

Zhong Shenxiu walked around Baoguang Temple casually with his hands behind his back.

This temple had been abandoned for a long time, devoid of human presence, and not looked after by any lay Buddhist, the courtyard overgrown with weeds.

But on the brick stones at the corner of the wall, within the beams, and at the edges of the windows, Zhong Shenxiu seemed to smell a hint of sandalwood.

He suddenly struck out, shattering a stone brick, looking at the fine gold powder in his fingers.

"Is this... gold bricks?"

Lu Jianping’s eyes widened: "I read in a miscellaneous book that the Imperial Palace was built with something like gold bricks, said to ward off evil and particularly effective against yin ghosts... But I don’t know exactly how they’re made."

"This should be part of a Buddhist cultivator’s golden body... of course, it contains only a very small bit," Zhong Shenxiu shook his head.

Here, the golden body does not refer to the Arhat Fruit Position.

In fact, as long as a Buddhist cultivator could produce a Shariputra, that is, a Primordial Pill, he could be seen as a high monk, and his flesh body could be called a golden body.

’A Buddhist Grandmaster comparable to a Primordial Pill, his entire body, all his flesh and blood, are treasures indeed. Used to make gold bricks, most suitable for warding off evil, was it meant to suppress something?’

Zhong Shenxiu walked into the main hall and saw a Buddha statue offered as a tribute.

The statue seemed to be made of stone, bare-chested and belly exposed, seated on a lotus merit platform, the only incongruity being that it had no—head!

A headless stone Buddha!

"It seems that there was once a high monk in Baoguang Temple, perhaps it was this monk who established Baoguang Temple specifically to suppress something."

"The seal had always been quiet before, but recently there have been changes in Jiugong Mountain, which caused disturbances here and weird occurrences..."

Zhong Shenxiu quietly reasoned to himself, guessing most of the situation.

’Clearly, it’s a task for the Mystic Sky Bureau, just happened to encounter me.’

He stepped forward, leaped into the air, and stared at the break in the stone Buddha.

There, there was a visible depression, inside which was a Bodhi Seed.

This Bodhi Bead had five small holes on top, resembling five eyes.

When Zhong Shenxiu watched it, those five eyes seemed to blink, their gazes suddenly interlocking.

Zhong Shenxiu seemed to hear a distant call by his ears.

Inside him, a flash of bodily Divine Skill stirred.

That was— Stone Buddha Unbreakable Divine Power!

This Divine Skill originated from Stone Buddha Temple, and Stone Buddha Temple originated from Da Mo!

"Da Mo..."

"He should be dead, killed by the tail-eating snake..."

"No, such beings, even in death, their bodies can form a spectacle like the Whale Fall, sufficient to nourish an entire world... The possibility of their existence feigning death is all too normal."

Zhong Shenxiu’s thoughts churned endlessly as he continued to gaze at the Five-Eyed Six-Transmission Bodhi Seed.

The Buddhist five eyes are the flesh eye, heavenly eye, wisdom eye, dharma eye, and Buddha eye.

The six transmissions include divine foot technique, heavenly ear technique, heavenly vision, telepathy, destiny technique, and leak-ending knowledge transmission.

This Bodhi Seed could display various magical uses of the Buddhist sect, offering incredible benefits for those cultivating Buddhist Law and comprehending the Divine Skills of the Buddhist sect.

What puzzled Zhong Shenxiu was why it was here?

If the Great Buddha’s head were still intact, it should be sealed.

"Such an instant enlightenment Buddhist treasure is sealed for a reason, of course."

Zhong Shenxiu pointed his finger, drawing Lu Jianping up, "Scholar... I see you greatly admire the Immortal Dao, now here is an opportunity for you, let’s see if you dare to give it a try."

Lu Jianping knew that this ruthless and heartless Cultivator wouldn’t be seeking him out for anything good.

But he was in no position to refuse and could only fold his hands respectfully, "At the Daoist’s command."

"Do you see that Bodhi Seed? Go and fetch it, the seed has affinities with the Buddhist sect, perhaps in the process of retrieving it, you might acquire some fortunes."

Zhong Shenxiu smiled faintly.

Lu Jianping muttered under his breath as he resignedly stepped forward, his fingers delicately pinched the Bodhi Seed with ease.

His expression suddenly froze, his ears pricked up as if listening to something.

In the next moment, Lu Jianping sat cross-legged, his body suddenly radiating with Buddhist light.

"Is this... enlightenment?"

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes narrowed.

The Buddhist sect differs from the Daoist; it emphasizes understanding through the heart and heart-to-heart transmission.

Lu Jianping, it seems, had indeed acquired a chance from the Five-Eyed Six-Transmission Bodhi Seed, stepping onto the path and cultivating mana.

This actually wasn’t much.

If a true disciple of Buddhist wisdom came, perhaps they could directly comprehend divine skills like the divine foot technique and the heavenly vision from this Buddha bead, maybe even stepping into the Divine Power Realm in one go!

"Many thanks to the benefactor, I’ve comprehended a Buddha Scripture from this Bodhi Seed."

After meditating for a long while, Lu Jianping finally stood up, his face showing a hint of compassion as he handed over the Bodhi Seed, "This belongs to the benefactor."

’Things of the Buddhist sect are indeed a bit eerie.’

Zhong Shenxiu had already checked it carefully to confirm it was safe before taking the Bodhi Seed in his hand.

This Bodhi Bead, possessing its own spirit, could assist someone in enlightenment.

At this time, Zhong Shenxiu merely twirled the bead in his hand and inexplicably plunged into a state of sudden enlightenment.

As a Primordial Pill Master, his understanding of the principles of this land was beyond what outsiders could imagine.

And once a Cultivator reached the Core Formation stage, they began to explore the ’Heavenly Dao.’

The profound music of the great path emerged, captivating Lu Jianping completely.

But Zhong Shenxiu was wary and, aided by the Stone Buddha Unbreakable Divine Power, managed to maintain a trace of clarity in his mind, experiencing the Heavenly Dao for the first time.

Vast, boundless...

Since the dawn of time, who passed down the Dao?

Before the formation of heaven and earth, how can we speculate about it?

Darkness and light obscure, who can comprehend it to the fullest?

Questions suddenly emerged in Zhong Shenxiu’s mind, but then it seemed they were all answered, sending him into a state of moved peace and tranquility.

But in the next moment, he was abruptly startled.

Because that vast, boundless Heavenly Dao slowly pulled a veil in his eyes.

Behind the veil... there was great terror!
