The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 630

Chapter 630: Chapter 626: The Abbot Appears Chapter 630: Chapter 626: The Abbot Appears “The tongue unfolds the golden lotus, and the void shines brightly! Master Jiang Liu's lecture has reached such a realm!” Shen Luo saw this and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

You should know, only some true powerhouses and high monks during their preaching and donation would have such a sight.

“This… It seems that we were short-sighted. This Master Jiang Liu indeed a venerable high monk.” Lu Huaming also looked surprised and muttered to himself.

Shen Luo slowly nodded somewhat disbelievingly. Suddenly remembering something, he turned his head to look at the coffin in the distance, the resentment around it was quickly dissipating.

After only a moment, the yin qi around the coffin dissipated completely. A white-clad woman's soul slowly emerged from the coffin. She bowed down towards the high platform in the distance, then slowly rose. Her figure faded and merged into the void.

Witnessing this, Shen Luo's soul shook. He was full of admiration for Master Jiang Liu who was still on the stage, listening intently.

The lecture of Master Jiang Liu continued for half an hour before it ended.

All the people below were still immersed in the lecture. The square was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Luo was no exception, but he soon regained his senses and opened his eyes.

After listening to a lecture, he gained a lot. The golden lotus condensed with spiritual energy had little effect on his soul, but he primarily gained benefits in terms of his divine soul.

Shen Luo had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. Even though he had consolidated his cultivation level during a retreat, his divine soul was inevitably restless. But after listening to this lecture, his divine soul had completely become calm, saving him at least half a year of hard cultivation.

After the lecture, Master Jiang Liu immediately walked out of the treasure canopy. He didn't even glance at the people below and headed towards the temple without looking back.

Many monks from the Golden Mountain Temple quickly followed up, surrounding Jiang Liu. The Hall Master Shi was among them, he was pleasingly talking to Jiang Liu.

Only then did the people below come back to their senses, and all bowed to Jiang Liu from a distance to express their thanks.

“Fellow benefactors, the Golden Cicada Conference has ended. Please go to the Fragrant Accumulation Hall for the vegetarian meal.” A monk ascended the high platform, with his hands held together he bowed to the crowd, loudly declaring.

The crowd below heard this and all got up, heading towards a side hall in the temple.

“Since Master Jiang Liu is indeed a venerable monk, we can't miss this opportunity. Brother Shen, let's ask him again, we must invite him to preside over the Water-Land Conference in Chang'an, no matter what.” Lu Huaming got up, pulling Shen Luo in the direction where Master Jiang Liu went and chased after him.

However, a figure appeared in front of them, and several purple-robed martial monks blocked the way.

“The two benefactors, Master Jiang Liu's lecture has ended. The place ahead is a key area of our Golden Mountain Temple, unauthorized people are prohibited from entering. Please stay.” Master Huiming said indifferently.

“Master Huiming, we are sorry for any offences caused earlier, but neither of us is here to cause trouble. We just have something to ask Master Jiang Liu.” Lu Huaming urged.

“It's we who are carrying out Master Jiang Liu's orders. He said he doesn't want to see you. Please leave.” Master Huiming coldly responded.

Hearing this, Shen Luo's brows furrowed.

What's the matter with Jiang Liu, why is he so repulsed by them, directly driving people away?

“Several masters, we want to ask Master Jiang Liu to do something which is of great merit. This is a little token of our gratitude, please make it convenient for us. We will surely express our gratitude again later.” He quickly composed himself, took out a small cloth bag, which contained thirty pieces of immortal jade, and put it in Master Huiming's hand.

Listening to the crisp sound of the immortal jade hitting each other in the cloth bag, greed flashed in Master Huiming's eyes. He reached out to accept the bag, but when his hand was halfway extended, it stopped abruptly.

“No, this was Master Jiang Liu's command. Please leave the temple immediately. Don't make it difficult for us.” Master Huiming shook his head vigorously, keeping a straight face.

The other monks positioned themselves in a fan shape around Shen Luo and Lu Huaming, seeming like they were ready to make a move at any time.

Shen Luo and Lu Huaming frowned. These monks were only in the Grain Avoidance Stage, and they could easily defeat them with a wave of their hand. But once a fight broke out, they would completely break with the Golden Mountain Temple, making it even more difficult to ask Master Jiang Liu to assist.

“What are you doing, stop!” A shout of anger came.

Along with this voice, two people walked over from afar. One of them was Elder Zhe Shi, and the other was an elderly monk. This person had a dark face, dried skin, hands as thin as chicken claws, he looked like a dying old man who could be blown away by the wind.

Shen Luo glanced at the old monk and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This old monk looked as if he was on his deathbed, his skin was dried up, but there was a strange qi flowing inside his body. It seemed like all the essence of his body was condensed into the deepest part of his body.

Even with Shen Luo's current cultivation level and keen eyesight, he couldn't see the depth of the old monk's cultivation.

“Could this man be practicing the Buddhist Sect's Dry Zen?” He remembered reading from a classic that the Buddhist Sect had this kind of Zen method. It was extremely powerful, but the cultivation conditions were strict, and only those with great perseverance and willpower could cultivate it.

“The Abbot! Elder Zhe Shi!” Master Huiming and the others hurriedly bowed to the two.

Shen Luo thought, so this is the abbot of the Golden Mountain Temple, no wonder he possesses such profound cultivation.

“Friend Shen, Friend Lu, this is Abbot Hai Shi of our Golden Mountain Temple.” Elder Zhe Shi introduced to Shen Luo and Lu Huaming.

“We have met the Abbot.” Shen Luo and Lu Huaming stepped forward to greet him.

“The two benefactors, there is no need for formalities. The intention of your visit was told to me by Junior Brother Zhe Shi. However, the Dharma teaches us to let things take their course. Everything has its own cause and effect. The two benefactors and the reincarnated Golden Cicada are not predestined, you should not force it.” Abbot Hai Shi said indifferently.

“What does the master mean by this?” Lu Huaming was taken aback and asked with his hands in salutation.

“It shouldn't be said, shouldn't be said. If said, it will be a mistake.” Abbot Hai Shi shook his head.

“Brother Shen, what does this old abbot mean?” Lu Huaming was puzzled and turned his head to look at Shen Luo and asked via a voice transmission.

Shen Luo looked at Abbot Hai Shi. His eyes twinkled, but he didn't answer.

“Junior Brother Zhe Shi, the two benefactors have traveled a long way. You should not be disrespectful. Take them to the Fragrant Accumulation Hall for a meal to honor their visit.” Abbot Hai Shi instructed Elder Zhe Shi, then turned and left.

“Abbot Hai Shi, if the predestined time has not arrived yet, when will it arrive?” Shen Luo suddenly asked loudly.

But it appeared as though Abbot Hai Shi hadn't heard him and left at his own pace.

“The two benefactors, Brother Abbot cannot help with this matter either. Please come with this poor monk.” Elder Zhe Shi sighed and headed towards a side hall near the square.

Lu Huaming couldn't think of a solution right now. However, at least they were not being driven out of the temple, which he was rather satisfied with. He would use the meal to delay time and see if there was another way to figure it out.

Thinking this, he started walking forward.

Meanwhile, Shen Luo was looking at the back of Abbot Hai Shi. His brows furrowed, this Abbot Hai Shi seemed to be beating around the bush, but was not willing to say much. He really didn't know what his intention was.

At this moment, the retreating Abbot Hai Shi suddenly placed his hand on his chest and coughed three times, then put his hand behind his back and slowly walked into the distance.

Shen Luo was taken aback, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately. He also followed Elder Zhe Shi.
