Top Master

Monk Shoushan was the kind of person who had a temple in the mountain, the kind that had an old monk in it.    

    

They also chanted Buddhist scriptures, but they did not accept Buddhist monks. There was only one monk in the temple, and there would never be two of them.    

    

When the previous Monk Shoushan realized that he wasn't feeling well, or when other people saw an accident, they would ask someone with wisdom roots who only focused on studying Buddhist scriptures to continue being Monk Shoushan. As for Monk Shoushan's seniority, it was always the highest among the current generation of monks. It could be said that he was always superior to others, because they were the ones who were sincerely paying their respects to Buddha.    

    

As for the Monk Shoushan Yan Shu was talking about, although he was only 32 years old this year, the inheritance of Shoushan's temple was 600 years old.    

    

600 years was not a long time, but it was an amazing thing that the inheritance could last for 600 years.    

    

More importantly, their temple also had completed inheritances.    

    

This inheritance was not the Great Divine Wall Psionic Skill that could fly to the heavens and earth, but it was about the inheritance and comprehension of the dharma. It was also similar to the diary of each generation of Monk Shoushan, which recorded some of the things that happened in the world.    

    

Although Buddhism paid attention to peace and quiet, peace and quiet also had to be divided into different matters. After all, the present world's Buddhism needed to be combined with the current world's environment in order to allow future generations to better reference it. The meaning that Yan Shu told Zhao Quan was that he could look at the Zhai's Record and obtain something from it.    

    

This was indeed a good suggestion, and it should be effective.    

    

After Yan Shu left, Zhao Quan put down the ancient book in his hand and went to the Imperial Palace.    

    

At this time, the female official Jiang Duxiu had already prepared the Dishu Stones to size him up. It was likely that there were billions of them.    

    

But these Zhao Quans were all useful to Zhao Quan. Not to take them away, but to set up a formation.    

    

Before he left, he had to take good care of Yan Shu's safety.    

    

Although Yan Shu had already mastered the Shanren Five Techniques , she had not advanced, so she could not master the grand formation of the Imperial Palace.    

    

Zhao Quan could, so he had thought of many ways recently. Finally, he thought of this point and used the formation to control the formation.    

    

He first set up a formation to connect to the imperial palace's grand formation, and then passed the method of controlling the formation to Yan Shu.    

    

In this way, Yan Shu could use her own method of controlling the imperial palace's grand formation.    

    

Although it was not as easy to control as Zhao Quan personally used it, the method of instantly killing hundreds and thousands of noble people like that day could still be used through this formation.    

    

After the formation was set up, the next thing to do was to gather the Dishu Stone and inject energy into it.    

    

All of this energy would be stored in the formation, forming a process similar to a perpetual motion machine's self-accumulating process.    

    

When the formation's energy was consumed, it would automatically replenish itself. There was no need to worry about it at all.    

    

However, Zhao Quan did not need to care about this process. He handed it to Jiang Duxiu and went to Monk Shoushan's temple.    

    

When he arrived in front of the dilapidated temple, it was already dusk. The sky was getting dark.    

    

Zhao Quan knocked on the door. Not long after, the young Monk Shoushan came out and invited Zhao Quan in. He was very polite.    

    

However, this was not because Zhao Quan was the special envoy of the Great Sovereign. It was because Zhao Quan was just a traveler who had nowhere to stay in the middle of the night.    

    

Even if Zhao Quan had already made it clear that he was the Great Sovereign's envoy, Monk Shoushan would only treat him as a traveler.    

    

Because he didn't accept any orders. He only respected the Buddha, and only respected the Buddha's heart.    

    

This also caused Zhao Quan to be rejected by Monk Shoushan when he mentioned that he wanted to read the Zhai's Record.    

    

It was not Monk Shoushan's fault. This was like the diary of their ancestors. Who would be willing to let outsiders read the diary of their ancestors?    

    

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Quan tried all kinds of methods, and even tried to forcefully seal Monk Shoushan.    

    

But in the end, he did not do so. He thought of Zhao Xi's mother, Mu Lan.    

    

Mu Lan loved to study Buddhism. When Zhao Quan was young, he often forced Zhao Quan and Zhao Xi to recite Buddhist scriptures, saying that it was a blessing.    

    

They did not know what blessing was. Anyway, if they did not pray, they would have to suffer the feather duster, so the two of them recited the blessing with great enthusiasm.    

    

Zhao Quan still had an impression of them until now, so he tried to talk about Buddhist principles with Monk Shoushan.    

    

But who would have thought that Monk Shoushan would be stunned the moment his Buddhist scriptures left his mouth?    

    

That kind of feeling was as if he had spoken a paragraph of English that the English teacher could not understand. He suspected that he had said something wrong.    

    

But the problem was that he had spoken correctly. Could it be that this Monk Shoushan was a fake?    

    

However, Zhao Quan soon realized that it was possible because Monk Shoushan had asked him who had spoken that part of the Buddhist scripture.    

    

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Heart Sutra. Don't tell me you don't know about it, Great Master?"    

    

Monk Shoushan shook his head. He really didn't know about it. However, he could tell that it was not a fabrication. Because of the principle of Buddha, their eyes lit up. They said to Zhao Quan, "As long as you recite this scripture to me, I will let you read it."    

    

Although this wasn't in line with the ideology of Buddha, and it had the feeling of coercion, Monk Shoushan couldn't do anything about it. For the sake of perfecting the scripture in Shoushan's temple, he was willing to go to hell and leave behind a bright future for his descendant, Monk Shoushan.    

    

Regarding this kind of magnanimity, Zhao Quan still admired it. Of course, the main reason was that he really needed Zhai's memory.    

    

Therefore, in the next moment, he recited the Heart Sutra of Ksitigarbha, which he didn't have.    

    

He originally wanted to recite it all to Monk Shoushan first, then write it down and leave it to Monk Shoushan.    

    

Who would have thought that Monk Shoushan was so intelligent that he could memorize it once, and then recite it to show that it was not bad at all.    

    

After that, the two of them exchanged various topics and discovered that there were quite a few scriptures that Monk Shoushan did not know and had never heard of before.    

    

However, Monk Shoushan was already embarrassed at this moment. It was obviously not appropriate to blackmail him anymore, so it was very awkward for him to face Zhao Quan.    

    

The desire to know and the dilemma of not knowing how to exchange for it made Zhao Quan want to laugh, but he also cooperated with Monk Shoushan's eagerness to learn.    

    

So in the following time, he recited all the scriptures he had memorized to Monk Shoushan.    

    

Monk Shoushan was very grateful. He then opened the temple's depository of scriptures. In fact, it was only a small room. He pointed to the clean and tidy vegetarian note in the corner and said, "Sir, this is the vegetarian note that you need. Please read it yourself!"
