Chapter 369 Buddhist Stories
Xiang Nan lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense here so that others won't see through your identity."
"Chi, I don't care about them." Meng Die sat down cross-legged beside Xiang Nan and took out a delicate dish from the basket.
Xiang Nan had already finished circulating the last part of the Heart Sutra and began to eat it impolitely.
On the other side, the people impersonating the Haoran Sect were waiting in a tight formation, while the Flying Cloud Temple was facing a great enemy.
Only Xiang Nan and Dreambutterfly ignored the situation on the spot and ate independently, which made them look very different.
Quite a few youths looked at Xiang Nan and the other two with sidelong gazes.
Xiang Nan was open-minded and didn't care what other people thought of him. Anyway, he had food, so why didn't he eat it?
Then Song Mingcheng also glanced at Xiang Nan, then he turned his attention to the abbot and said, "Abbot, I think it's better for you to take out all your Buddhist profound arts."
The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "The Buddhist profound art was painstakingly created by the great virtuous monks of past dynasties. I do not dare to give it to outsiders."
"Ha!" Song Mingcheng laughed loudly, "You guys imprisoned my Haoran Sect's disciple Xiang Nan for no reason, are you imprisoning him for nothing?"
"Don't rely on your numbers to bully us! My Haoran Sect isn't a dry-run sect. Do you believe that if I send a signal, your entire Flying Cloud Temple will be surrounded by my Haoran Sect!"
The abbot put his hands together and did not speak, but he did not agree to Song Mingcheng's conditions.
Song Mingcheng's expression changed. He didn't expect that this old monk wouldn't take it hard. He moved his eyes and said, "Do you know my Haoran Sect's Sect Master? How strong are you compared to our Sect Master?"
The abbot said, "In the early years, I was fortunate enough to have met your sect's Zhang Haoran and Sect Master Zhang several times."
"I was also fortunate enough to exchange martial arts with Sect Leader Zhang. Sect Leader Zhang is indeed a rare martial arts genius. This poor monk is ashamed of being inferior to him."
Song Mingcheng laughed, "That's right. When mentioning the Heavenly Dao Old Man, who doesn't know in the entire Blue Tide Continent? Then let me ask you again, since your martial arts strength can't compare to my Sect Master's."
"Then I will use our Haoran Sect's martial arts techniques to exchange for your Flying Cloud Temple's martial arts techniques. Aren't you guys taking advantage of us and we're at a disadvantage? Do you refuse to do so?"
The abbot shook his head, "Although this poor monk is not a match for Sect Master Zhang, it is all because of his stupid aptitude. It is not that my Buddhist profound arts are not good."
Song Mingcheng gritted his teeth angrily and murmured, "Good, you bald donkey. You really are a toast without a penalty."
"Elder, Xiang Nan has something to say. Can Xiang Nan dare to say a few words to the abbot?" At this moment, in the direction of the Heavenly Profound Sect, the man who was pretending to be Xiang Nan stood out.
Song Mingcheng's eyes were filled with admiration as he nodded and said, "Alright, Xiang Nan, let your junior advise the abbot."
Xiang Nan took three steps forward and said to the abbot, "This one is not talented. It is the Haoran Sect's Xiang Nan. Although he has never cultivated in Buddhism, he still admires the virtues of an ancient Virtuous Monk."
"I once heard a story about an eagle wanting to eat a wild pigeon. It happened to be seen by a virtuous monk."
"In order to save the pigeon, that senior monk didn't hesitate to cut the meat and feed it to the eagle. How kind and selfless was this?"
Upon hearing this story, the abbot let out a long sigh.
Xiang Nan continued, "In order to save a wild pigeon, there is an eminent monk who is willing to cut off even the flesh on his body. But today, we don't want your flesh. As long as you have your Buddhist profound arts, are you unwilling to give it to me?"
"Is this the virtue of the cultivators of your Flying Cloud Temple? Is this considered selfless?"
"May I ask abbot, do you feel that the Buddhist profound arts are too powerful to be willing to exchange with us? Is this a greed?"
"Alright!" Song Mingcheng's eyes lit up, and the disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect behind him all clapped their hands and applauded.
Hearing this, the abbot put his hands together and sighed deeply.
"This kid is so powerful." Dream butterfly served Xiang Nan as she listened to their conversation.
She whispered in Xiang Nan's ear, "The person who pretended to be you is very smart. He doesn't need to be strong or soft. Instead, he directly stimulates the old bald donkey with the classic stories of Buddhism."
"Not only is this person lacking in strength, he is also an extremely intelligent person. This kind of person is a threat to a good brother. Why don't we find an opportunity to kill him?"
Xiang Nan glared at Dream butterfly.
"What's wrong, abbot? Do you have anything else to say?" The fake Xiang Nan smiled faintly and cupped his fists. "Why don't you learn the Virtuous Monk today and exchange the Buddhist profound arts with us? It can be considered as adding a brilliance to your cultivation."
The abbot did not say anything. The Feiyun Temple elders and the young monks behind him were all furious, but they did not know how to refute it.
"I'm full." Xiang Nan wiped his mouth, stood up, stretched his waist, and walked forward.
He walked to the center of the crowd on both sides, and everyone on both sides looked at him.
Everyone was curious, where did this brat come from? What's he doing out there.
Xiang Nan bowed respectfully to the abbot, then cupped his fists in the direction of the The Profound Sky Sect and said, "I am not from the Feiyun Temple, but I have something to say. I wonder if you are willing to listen."
Song Mingcheng was stunned. The man from the The Profound Sky Sect did not expect it, but what else could he do at this moment? They were originally trying to convince people by reason, so they couldn't help but let Xiang Nan speak.
"Alright then." Xiang Nan smiled and said to the fake Xiang Nan, "I've heard that story before, but I don't think it's appropriate for you to use it here."
'"Great Virtue Monk fed the eagle meat to save his life, because the eagle was only hungry and did not hate it. If he fed the eagle meat, it would not hurt other small animals for a short period of time. This kind of behavior was considered selfless!"
"As for the evil intentions of humans, their desires are endless. If I exchange the Buddhist profound arts with you today, I won't let you let go of the butcher's knife. I can only let you do evil better."
"I don't feel that doing this is selfless. Doing this is helping the evil."
"Well said!" The dozen or so elders of the Commandment Academy all laughed happily. Especially the elder who personally escorted Xiang Nan here, he clapped his hands happily.
Xiang Nan smiled and said to the fake Xiang Nan, "The abbot has an eminent monk. I'm sure he understands this better than I do, but how could he argue with a junior like you?"
"But I am also a young man, so I can't look over. Come out and say more."
Meng Die covered her mouth and giggled. She gave Xiang Nan a thumbs up, her eyes shining with stars.
That day, the Black Sect's man was ruined by Xiang Nan. His eyes were red with anger. He pointed at Xiang Nan and said angrily, "Who are you! Our Haoran Sect and Feiyun Temple are talking, so it's your turn to speak!"
Xiang Nan shrugged his shoulders and retorted, "Then what are you? The respected elders of both the Haoran Sect and the Feiyun Temple are here. Is it your turn to shout and fart here?"
"You, you, you!" The Xuanzong Sect's manly words were indescribable.
"I, I, I, I, what, did I say wrong? If I said wrong, you can refute it." Xiang Nan hugged his shoulders.
