Chapter 478: 477

"A small Bodhi tree? What’s this tree? Do Bodhi trees come in different sizes... Oh, I get it, this one has not yet grown up, right?"

Jenny gave him a look, "When Tang Xuanzang went on his pilgrimage to the West, what he obtained was not just tens of thousands of volumes of precious Buddhist Scriptures. He also got Bodhi seeds, it’s just that people do not know about it."

Ye Tian stared at the tree in front of him and whispered, "So you mean to say that this small Bodhi tree is very precious?"

Jenny nodded.

"How much money could it fetch if we chopped it down and sold it?"

"A Bodhi tree chooses to settle in the land of the virtuous people, once it picks a place it won’t move again, if it does move, it will not grow anymore and will directly die."

There, Ye Tian felt distressed. It’s no good to move it, and no good not to move it.

"Fine, let’s go then. Better than staring and feeling itchy inside."

Jenny took one last look at the small Bodhi tree, hesitated for a moment, tried to pick a leaf off it, and it surprisingly didn’t wither. This was a bit unexpected, so she picked a few more leaves and put them in her pocket.

Ye Tian was pushing the wheelbarrow in front, with the cow on it sleeping peacefully. Midway, the cow even started snoring, making Ye Tian wish he could kick the beast off!

He was expecting the five masters of Water, Wood, Gold, Fire, Earth to appear again, but the remaining two masters of Fire Attribute and Gold Attribute did not appear. The journey was unobstructed, making Ye Tian feel blessed and proud of his broad divine skills. Catching just any cow could swallow the dragon; where would you even begin to explain that?

At the very end in front was a run-down house with a broken door, a crumbling wall, and weeds growing on it. In front of the broken door plank was a stone pond with a few ducks floating in it. Later, it was Jenny who pointed out to Ye Tian that those were swans.

"Aren’t all swans white?"

"There are black ones. These are black swans."

"Oh. I’ve seen those. These are of different breeds; otherwise, I wouldn’t have mistaken them."

Seeing Jenny didn’t believe him, Ye Tian didn’t argue and focused on pushing... the cow.

Jenny pushed open the dilapidated doors, other than a few spider webs, there was nothing else, nothing unusual.

What Ye Tian had seen in those martial arts novels, places where martial arts masters resided were either caves or thatched cottages, and the slightly better environments were like those of Little Dragon Girl. It’s just a pity, even though there were mountains and rivers, in the end, it was still in a cemetery, with bad feng shui, therefore a life filled with ups and downs. By this logic, the broken courtyard in front should be the residence of those three legendary Masters.

For such a situation, Ye Tian could only describe it with the two words ’pretentious act’.

Jenny pushed open the door and entered. The courtyard was silent, but within this silence, she saw three, no, four Masters sitting cross-legged. One of them was her Master.

Three monks dressed in withered-yellow kasayas were sitting opposite, with nothing particularly special about the Master on the left or the right. Except for the Master on the left, who was not only dressed in a withered-yellow kasaya but also a set of black armor that covered every part of his body, including a black helmet, only exposing his eyes. What caught the eye was the Master in the middle, who had a string of beads engraved with skulls hanging around his neck. All eighteen Buddha Beads were as large as a child’s fist, and it was unclear whether the beads were carved into skulls or the skulls made into Buddha Beads. It was quite eerie.

"Master, how are you?"

Jenny was about to rush over but was harshly stopped by the old woman, "Do not come over!"

Ye Tian heard the voice and dashed into the courtyard with his wheelbarrow, raising his guard immediately when he saw the four people’s peculiar movements and the gloomy, icy aura. Almost at the same time, a warm sensation from his wrist swept over his entire body. All of a sudden, Ye Tian had a vague sense that the Nine Emperor Bell had its own consciousness?

"Miss Jenny, do not act rashly."

The distance between the two was not that close yet, so Ye Tian still habitually addressed her as Miss Jenny rather than directly calling her Jenny.

As the energy inside Ye Tian emanated warmth, the middle Master wearing the skull opened his closed eyes and squinted slightly to survey the two newcomers, one male and one female, both strangers. However, the natural, pure temperament exuded by the two was quite enticing. If he had met them earlier, he would have likely taken them as disciples. But now, things did not seem to be going as he wished.

Just like the Skull Master in the middle, Ye Tian also felt odd. Although the cold aura here was not enough to kill invisibly, it could still have a basic impact on the human body. But looking at Jenny’s condition, it seemed that the chilly aura here did not affect her in the slightest. It appeared that this foreign young woman also had an extraordinary aptitude, lacking only a secret martial arts manual to improve further.

"Boy, you want the Buddha Bead Relics, right? That bead is on the person in the middle. Kill him, and you can have it."

The old woman abruptly said something that left Ye Tian confused. What did she mean by that?

"Esoteric Master, why join forces with outsiders to confront your own people? Both of us are temple Masters, and it’s our duty to guard the Buddha Bead Relics. Why be so coercive?"

The Skull Master spoke with a gentle expression, but against the backdrop of the string of Buddha Beads around his neck, he looked like a character who appeared benevolent but was inwardly malicious. And those two people beside him with closed eyes didn’t look like good characters either.

Three against three, the odds of winning should be there,

And there were the Buddha Bead Relics; if possible, of course, he would take them. It is a loss if one doesn’t take advantage, and those who don’t are fools.

"Master! Master! What have they done to you! Your disciple will avenge you!"

Ye Tian’s expression changed instantly as he rushed to the old woman’s side, his face covered with tears and snot, looking even more heartbroken than if his parents had died.

The old woman’s eyes bulged, about to scold him when the Skull Master opposite couldn’t help but sneer, "The Esoteric Sect is merely a second-rate faction that dares to forget the ancestor’s teachings and take in male disciples. Esoteric Master, you truly are formidable."

The old woman, who intended to scold Ye Tian, heard the other party criticising without even asking for her side of the story, was about to retort and explain, but then she realized something. Perhaps this old fellow saw the immense power in Ye Tian. Not to mention anything else, being able to break through the many barriers of the Forbidden Land and storm in was already impressive enough. Hmph, it seems he covets this kid.
