Ch 236: A Big Gamble
“Miss Yun.”
Seeing Dingkong and the others approaching, Jueyuan was also somewhat wary. He whispered to Yun Qianzhu, “You must be careful. I feel that Master and the others still intend to keep you.”
“Mm.”
Yun Qianzhu remained composed, stepped forward, clasped her hands together, and said, “Abbot, and all Masters, I have finished a month’s Buddhist Dharma lectures.”
Everyone clasped their hands together and recited a Buddhist Chant.
“Miss Yun’s profound Buddhist Dharma has truly astounded this old monk,” Dingkong said. “Such a jade, if she were to become a Buddha Son of our Tianlong Temple, our Tianlong Temple would be willing to devote all its strength to cultivating her. Her future achievements would be immense, and even striving for the Heavenly Mandate and ascending to the Upper Realm would not be impossible.”
“Abbot, you jest.”
Yun Qianzhu said calmly, “Previously, you all promised my Martial Uncle that as long as I lectured on Buddhist Dharma for a month, you would let me leave Tianlong Temple.”
“That is natural.”
Dingkong did not say anything.
“But Miss Yun, there’s still something you haven’t done,” Huining walked over and said. “《The Thousand-Hand Tathagata Great Zen Art》 Cultivation Method, you haven’t written it down and returned it to our Tianlong Temple yet.”
“Master Huining says so, I seem to have forgotten.”
Yun Qianzhu feigned surprise.
“Then please, Miss Yun, write it out,” Huining said somewhat forcefully.
“Good, I’ll write it now,” Yun Qianzhu did not refuse.
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
This was their treasured sect martial art.
They had long wanted to learn it.
They immediately found paper and pen, found a place, and had Yun Qianzhu write down the incantations.
And Yun Qianzhu seriously picked up her pen and began to write.
“Senior Brother.”
“This Yun Qianzhu possesses our Buddhist Sect’s martial arts yet refuses to join our Tianlong Temple. If this were to spread, Tianlong Temple’s reputation would be ruined,” seeing Yun Qianzhu writing the Cultivation Method Manual, Huining whispered to Dingkong.
Dingkong did not make a sound, only staring at Yun Qianzhu from afar.
“Senior Brother, there’s no need to say more, I will handle this.” Huining uttered Amitabha.
“Master Huining, what are you going to do?” Jueyuan, hearing Huining’s words, instinctively felt that Huining was about to do something dangerous.
“Hmph.”
Huining coldly glanced at Jueyuan: “Jueyuan, mind your own business, don’t meddle. This woman refuses to join our Tianlong Temple, yet possesses the martial arts of our Tianlong Temple. To let her go like this, how will the world view Tianlong Temple? Where is Tianlong Temple’s dignity?”
“But we promised the Longevity Temple to release Miss Yun.” Jueyuan’s eyes widened.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t release her, I just want her to leave something behind,” Huining said slowly. “Her martial arts must be left behind!”
“Master!” Jueyuan quickly looked towards Dingkong.
“Shut up.”
“Ingrate!” Huining cursed.
To think that Tianlong Temple had actually cultivated a wolf in sheep’s clothing, someone who betrays their own.
Dingkong remained silent, yet had already tacitly approved of this action.
Although Dingkong felt it was a pity.
But since Yun Qianzhu was so stubborn, he was helpless.
Huining was right, Yun Qianzhu could not be let go so easily.
Not erasing her memories was already giving Li Hanzhou face.
Jueyuan was extremely anxious. He did not expect that Master and the others were still plotting against Yun Qianzhu. He watched from afar as Yun Qianzhu diligently wrote the Cultivation Method, thinking about what to do.
If he used all his strength, could he help Yun Qianzhu carve out a way to live?
Jueyuan looked at Dingkong and Huining, this idea was rejected in an instant.
It was simply impossible.
His Master’s strength had already reached the peak of the Heavenly Gang Realm, and Master Huining was the same.
He simply could not defeat them, even with Yun Qianzhu.
“Sigh.”
At this moment, Yun Qianzhu stopped writing, and sighed softly.
“Finished?”
Huining hurried over.
“No.” Yun Qianzhu shook her head.
“Then hurry and write!” Huining was a little anxious.
“It’s been over a month, I’ve only written up to the Fourth Level, and I can’t quite remember the rest,” Yun Qianzhu tapped her head and couldn’t help but say, “What comes next?”
“Think hard!” Huining and several other Chief Monks also came over and urged her.
“Don’t rush me, I can’t remember.”
Yun Qianzhu said helplessly, “It’s been too long, my memory isn’t very good. I’ll go to the Hidden Buddha Pagoda and check for you.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s faces changed.
Entering Buddha’s Treasury again?
What kind of joke is this?
If you enter Buddha’s Treasury and don’t come out, what do we do?
We can’t get in either.
“No!”
Huining sternly refused.
“Then there’s no other way, just practice the first four levels,” Yun Qianzhu shrugged. “After all, it’s better than nothing, right?”
“This…”
Everyone looked at each other.
What to do?
They had finally learned that the lost Cultivation Method was about to be recovered, but only the first four levels?
What good are the first four levels?
The monks from the neighboring temple would think they couldn’t even practice it.
“Alright.”
Dingkong walked over at this time, and said solemnly, “Then you go into the Hidden Buddha Pagoda and take another look. Write it down after you’ve seen it.”
“Senior Brother!”
Everyone was shocked, they didn’t expect to actually let Yun Qianzhu go in!
Seeing their anxious looks, Dingkong was also helpless, he could only gamble.
“Huining.”
Dingkong took out something at this moment and handed it to Huining.
Huining looked at the object in his hand, and his face changed drastically on the spot.
It was the transmission key to Buddha’s Treasury.
There were not many of these things in the entire Tianlong Temple. Like Jueyuan’s before, only when one is on the verge of death can one use this key to enter the Hidden Buddha Pagoda.
“If she comes out, that’s fine. If she refuses to come out, like before, then Huining, you enter the Hidden Buddha Pagoda.”
A flash of killing intent appeared in Dingkong’s eyes.
“I…”
Huining was shocked: “I am a person of Tianlong Temple, how can I enter Tianlong Temple’s Forbidden Zone?”
“If Martial Uncle Jiulong finds out…”
“I’ll take the punishment with you. In short, this is the last chance for our Tianlong Temple to retrieve our treasured sect martial art, we must seize it!”
Dingkong was now prepared for a desperate battle.
“Good!”
Huining gritted his teeth. For Tianlong Temple, what did one sacrifice matter?
If Martial Uncle Jiulong found out, at worst he would be expelled from the sect!
Later, Martial Uncle would slowly speak up for him, and would definitely accept him back into Tianlong Temple.
In short, he couldn’t let this girl play them for fools.
“Go!”
Huining glared fiercely at Yun Qianzhu and said, “You better not play any tricks, otherwise, I will let you know what it means to suffer more than death.”
“So much nonsense from someone begging for help.”
Yun Qianzhu mumbled.
She naturally needed to find a safe place to activate the Space-Time World Bead, because Li Hanzhou had said that activating the Space-Time World Bead required a few breaths of preparation time. During this time, she shouldn’t be disturbed, so she needed to find a quiet place.
And in Tianlong Temple, the place least likely to be disturbed was Buddha’s Treasury.
