Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Shell Leaf Sutra Box (Request for Collection, Recommendation, and Feedback)

Xiao Nan’s brain briefly froze.

What happened inside? A monk? Li Changhe?

"It’s too much! Does everyone want to provoke me? He Feng, Yun Ting are enough. You, a monk, want to do it too..." Xiao Nan clenched his teeth and pulled open the cloth door, only to see a bizarre scene.

Li Changhe had already taken off his [Great Wall Mountain Armor] and [Ghost Face Mask] and put on a black assault suit. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a book and murmuring something.

But that old monk had a face full of anger: "Why don’t you understand even this? Didn’t Mr. All-known say that [Players] learn very fast? It’s driving me crazy!"

"I think it’s a character inclination issue. This kid is now a [Chaotic Good], so it’s probably difficult for him to learn from your Buddhist Transcendents." Pan Ke laughed on the side.

Li Changhe sighed helplessly. He really couldn’t understand the artistic conception they were talking about.

Just like during the [Chang’an Plague], Father Xia had given him a bunch of so-called martial arts secrets, but he still didn’t understand them after reading them all.

What’s calming the mind and stabilizing the qi? What’s returning the qi to the Dantian and pushing it forward with the palm?

So, do Transcendents play metaphysics? Well, it seems to make sense...

Seeing Xiao Nan come in, he waved and said, "Girl, what do I do if they want me to become a monk?"

Xiao Nan wrinkled her attractive eyebrows and approached Li Changhe.

Only then did she discover that the book in his hand was an ancient-looking Buddhist scripture.

"Is this... the Ksitigarbha Ten Rounds Sutra?" Xiao Nan glanced at the text and recognized it, living up to her reputation as Yanyun’s talented woman.

"Why show this to him? Let me be clear, he won’t become a monk." Xiao Nan snorted lightly, "Abbot, you’d better give up!"

The old monk furrowed his brow. Taking a deep breath, he said slowly, "In order to repay the grudges between Buchen and him, I will naturally not force him to do anything. This is just a way for him to get rid of the Evil."

Pan Ke laughed and said, "What sets us Transcendents apart from ordinary [Players] is that we have more extraordinary abilities while having attributes no weaker than yours. Each of us has different abilities. But like me, even as a Transcendent, I am still a [Player]. Those extraordinary abilities have been enhanced."

Li Changhe had heard this explanation before.

Transcendents are, in fact, those who have used certain methods to enhance their attributes beyond the ordinary. The human limit for attributes is 9 points, but they can train even higher, and even possess some strange abilities.

These abilities, after being enhanced by the [Evolution Game], produce very noticeable effects.

For example, Pan Ke, whose paper-man ability has been improved after being enhanced.

The old monk in front of him was also a Transcendent, and it seemed that he had been in contact with Pan Ke before.

It wasn’t clear what connections they had among them as Transcendents.

The old monk’s point was that he was utterly unafraid of those so-called curses.

Years of harsh cultivation had given him the Glass Body, one of the Buddhist Transcendent abilities.

There is a saying in Buddhism: "May I attain Buddhahood in my next life and have a glass body, clear inside and out, pure without blemish."

That’s what it means.

The reason he could casually disperse the fog that appeared when the Tingdaros Hound arrived earlier was also because of his immunity to curse-type abilities.

As long as it couldn’t get out, there naturally wouldn’t be any danger.

That hound was probably quite confused, having the door closed on it as soon as it opened.

If the old monk were a [Player], his [Physique Features] would probably be something like the Glass Golden Body, as mentioned in Buddhist legends.

Somebody had popularized this on the [forum], the change in [Characteristics] after [Players] become Transcendent or acquire Transcendent abilities.

This is actually quite normal, as each [Player]’s evolution path is different.

For example, Physique 10 and 13 points have their respective [Physique Features].

points for [Bronze Skin Iron Bone], 13 points for [Jade Gold Likeness]...

Some [Players] have clearly not come into contact with any extraordinary powers. But after reaching 13 points in Physique, their [Physique Features] have turned into [Undying Holy Body].

Luckily they’re not surnamed Ye.

Basically, it is like adding skill points in online games.

It may be that they inadvertently did something, achieved something, interfered with some information, and as a result, they developed different [Physique Features].

The current extraordinary beings can be seen as having developed relatively mature evolutionary paths.

Other [Players] just need to follow them, and they can probably get similar [Physique Features].

If Li Changhe could also obtain the Glass Body, he would be able to escape the pursuit of Tingdaros Hounds.

It’s unknown how Pan Ke convinced the old monk, but the old monk believed that [Players] had strong learning abilities.

Li Changhe could quickly become a Buddhist Transcendent since his current attributes are not low; it just needs an understanding of Buddhist teachings.

So, he took out an ancient Buddhist scripture from his kasaya that was estimated to be dozens of times older than Li Changhe. It seemed like a live teaching session where he would quickly train Li Changhe to become a Buddhist Transcendent.

However, Li Changhe was obviously not cut out to be a monk. he could understand the characters in the Buddhist scriptures, but didn’t have a clear idea of their meaning when combined.

So the old monk went from saying, "Donor has quite a good affinity for Buddhism."

To eventually, he became angry and said, "Why can’t you even understand this?"

Look, the whole person has collapsed.

Li Changhe listened with his mouth wide open. If he had been a monk or something in a [Plot Task], he might be able to understand it. After all, the [Evolution Game] might let him acquire a Buddhist Dharma [Skill].

There are similar cases among [Players], who have obtained the skills of extraordinary beings.

But trying to cram it into his head like this is just too ridiculous.

Is it so easy to become an extraordinary person?

After living as an ordinary person for eighteen years, he is now asked to become a Buddhist Transcendent. He needs to at least understand Buddhism. Unfortunately, Li Changhe cannot comprehend the Buddhist concept of helping all living beings. He is not a saint; it’s too difficult for him.

Pan Ke just shook his head regretfully. As an extraordinary person, he was actually most worried about the number of extraordinary beings. He didn’t care what kind of extraordinary beings they were.

The present is unlike ancient times.

There are fewer and fewer extraordinary beings, and his real goal in joining [Great Wall] is to increase the number of extraordinary beings.

Now Li Changhe would be a perfect fit, having some cause and effect with the Abbot, the extraordinary being of Jiushan Temple.

And he has been cursed by a dangerous creature.

One party is in great need, and the other is willing to teach. It is the best outcome.

Unfortunately, Li Changhe is clearly not suitable for becoming an extraordinary person. The difference in character tendency and ideas is too great.

At least not suitable for becoming a Buddhist extraordinary person.

What a pity that Pan Ke no longer has that kind of cause and effect since becoming a [Player]. Otherwise, turning Li Changhe into a Taoist extraordinary being would be a good choice as well.

After another round of explanation by the old monk to Li Changhe, he reluctantly gave up and shook his head. He took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Li Changhe, saying, "Since you can’t learn, I won’t force you. Use this Shell Leaf Sutra Box to block the evils. You carry it with you, and it is considered repaying the cause and effect with Buchen. Put the scriptures in it and read them when you have time."

Upon seeing it, Li Changhe’s face changed.

It turned out to be a [Quality: Rare] [Equipment].

Looking at the effect, Li Changhe’s face lit up with joy. He laughed and replied, "This really helped a lot. Farewell, Abbot!"

"Hypocrite. You just called this old monk a baldy." The old monk replied without even turning his head, then looked at Xiao Nan and said solemnly, "Buchen has caused trouble for the donor, and the karma between the three of you is now resolved."

Xiao Nan nodded calmly, "It’s settled with [Unseen Red Dust]. I will never be rid of my karma with him in this lifetime."

"That’s very good." The old monk nodded.
