Chapter 662: Seeing Zen Master Kurong again, no agreement reached

The Buddhist hall is simple and exquisite, with many large and small Buddha statues and is filled with the smell of incense.

Ye Xiaofan went up the stairs and came to the quiet Zen room on the second floor.

The light brightness is not high and it is located near the window.

Sitting there was an old monk in gray and white loose robes. His skin was wrinkled like tree bark. His figure was thin but his eyes were bright. He was reading scriptures.

"Master Kurong, we meet again."

Ye Xiaofan sat directly opposite.

A cup of fragrant tea has been prepared in front of the table, and the white air is rising. It is obviously prepared for him.

"Donor Ye, after less than a month, your strength seems to have improved again. It's really enviable.

"You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you don't come here to pay a visit to me, right?"

Zen Master Kurong closed the scriptures with a solemn expression, and frequently looked at Ye Xiaofan's various places in a secretive manner.

A look of confusion and surprise flashed across his face from time to time.

"Hahaha, why can't I come to you to talk about Buddhism because I have been worshiping Buddha for a long time?" Ye Xiaofan chuckled.

"Oh? Do you have research on Buddhism?"

"There was once an elder Buddhist who asked someone to give me many scriptures when he was dying.

"I was thinking at that time whether there might be some special secrets in the scriptures, such as exercises, martial arts, etc."

Ye Xiaofan made no secret of it.

Elder Jin Ye once entrusted Shen Yugang with a gift, in addition to the relics, there were also several scriptures.

It had already been turned to pieces by him.

Zen Master Kurong shook his head in disappointment, "Then have you gained anything?"

"In terms of gains, with a slightly stronger memory, I can memorize the four or five scriptures by heart.

"But this kind of information has no effect on me, so it shouldn't be considered a gain."

Ye Xiaofan responded confidently, saying that if it sounds ugly, it is just rubbish.

Things that are not used still take up space.

Zen Master Kurong smiled slightly and said, "Maybe the time has not come yet. I think you are a person with great Buddha nature.

"One day you become enlightened, there will be one more Buddhist and Taoist master in the world."

"Hahaha, you think too highly of me. What kind of great Buddha nature is this? Where can you see it? I'm very curious.

"Elder Jinye has never met me, yet he still talks about me like this."

"Do you know Junior Brother Jinye from Lingen Temple?"

Zen Master Kurong was slightly surprised. He took a deep look at Ye Xiaofan and changed his subject, "The level of this Buddha nature can be summarized from many aspects such as the aura of your eyebrows and the appearance of your face, plus a little bit of intuition."

"Oh." Ye Xiaofan knew it would be like this.

But he also felt that having a high Buddha nature was just another way of saying that he was gifted in martial arts.

"How do you know Junior Brother Jinye?"

"It's a long story. One of my elders was once assassinated by someone. It might have something to do with evil things like the Yin Sha Curse. As a reminder, he went to find Elder Jinye.

"Elder Jinye was about to pass away at that time..."

Ye Xiaofan replied.

"So that's it." Zen Master Kurong sighed regretfully, "I have known Jin Ye for more than thirty years. Although my ideas are different, we seek common ground while reserving differences. We used to talk about Buddhism all the time. He completed his merits and reached the ultimate bliss one step ahead of me, which makes me envious.

"

"..."

Ye Xiaofan choked on the second half of the sentence and was speechless.

There was a moment of silence.

"Then when Donor Ye really starts to have the heart to worship the Buddha, you can come and talk to me about Buddhist scriptures. There is no need now.

"As the saying goes, people with different paths don't agree with each other. If I'm arguing with you now, we're just playing the piano against each other."

Zen Master Kurong said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Ye Xiaofan nodded.

"So, besides Buddhism, do you have anything else important to do?"

"I want a relic. At least it must be the relic of a monk with the strength of a master." Ye Xiaofan stopped covering up.

Zen Master Kurong's face darkened, "Using it for practice or refining medicine?"

"Practice." Ye Xiaofan knew that he was a little angry, but he continued, "I am willing to exchange a soul painting with you for a relic."

"I'm sorry to agree!" Zen Master Kurong waved his sleeves, "I hope Donor Ye won't mention the transaction of relics again, otherwise I won't blame you for being rude."

"Why is Master Ku Rong so excited?"

Ye Xiaofan's expression remained unchanged, "I know you regard them as Buddhist treasures and holy objects, with extraordinary significance, but without those auras and meanings, they are nothing more than some special crystals."

"Will a donor use the ashes of his relatives to practice cultivation?" Master Kurong asked without answering.

"If it's the ashes of your own relatives, that's definitely not the case. If it's an outsider, there won't be so many taboos."

Ye Xiaofan replied.

"To me, the relics are the relics of my fellow disciples and relatives, just like you don't use the ashes of your relatives to practice cultivation. How can you trade it with others?

"The donor is going to ruin my decades of practice."

Zen Master Kurong said calmly.

"What does this have to do with ruining your practice? It does not mean that eminent monks have pure six roots and have no desires or pursuits. No matter how precious the relics are, they are just things outside the body."

Ye Xiaofan tried to provoke him.

Zen Master Kurong shook his head, "It makes sense, but I have not yet reached the realm. Doing this will only make me greedy and ruin all my hard work over the years."

"So, there is no room for bargaining? For example, I can exchange some Buddhist treasures with you?"

Ye Xiaofan refused to give up.

As long as Zen Master Kurong makes a request, there will be a chance.

Even if he doesn't have any so-called Buddhist treasures on hand.

The Dayuan Zen Sutra with the rumor of a treasure map is so illusory that it is impossible for others to see it.

The Pure Heart Curse is the hard work of Elder Jin Ye. He will not take it out casually, but most people will not like it either.

Zen Master Kurong shook his head and looked at Ye Xiaofan meaningfully, "If you convert to Buddhism.

"As a disciple of Buddhism, the relics, as relics of the sages, can naturally be used to provide enlightenment and practice to one's own children."

"..." Ye Xiaofan suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly.

This old bald donkey, far from being as honest and simple as he thought, actually had such thoughts.

"Master, you are overthinking." Ye Xiaofan shook his head and stood up, "Since we can't reach an agreement, forget it. I'm going to bother you today."

"It's okay, you can come and sit here from time to time."

Zen Master Kurong did not get up.

Ye Xiaofan walked out of the Buddhist hall.

Huangfu Yue took two steps forward, but Hui Chen closed the door at this moment, "Huangfu Donor, please come back."

Huangfuyue sighed.

"Xiaofan, how did the conversation go?"

Rong Ao guessed that Ye Xiaofan must have important matters to discuss with Zen Master Kurong, and there was no way he would come here for nothing.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Ye Xiaofan shook his head, "We haven't reached an agreement yet."

Look back at the second floor of the Buddhist hall.

Zen Master Kurong refused.

But judging from his attitude, there must be relics in Jinlong Temple that meet the requirements.

Steal or rob?

The thought flashed away and was dismissed by Ye Xiaofan.

The relics were very important to him. Not only could they slightly enhance his spiritual consciousness, they could also be used as bait to elicit or strengthen those mysterious Buddhist powers.

But he still has a certain bottom line, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to steal other people's things.

"Mr. Ye, wait a moment."

Huangfuyue chased after him.

"Huangfuyue, what's going on? You broke up with Qiao Qingyang and want to find a new love, right?"

Rong Ao teased.

He is not in harmony with the other Xuanwu candidates.
