Chapter 755 - Chapter 755: Chapter Forty-Nine: Destined with BuddhaChapter 755: Chapter Forty-Nine: Destined with Buddha
Chongming Peak, in the medicinal valley
Buddha Son Yankong walked from bed to bed. The wounded warriors, regardless of their injuries, showed significant improvements under the shining of the Cihang Treasure Light. The physicians around, after assessing their patients’ conditions, looked at Yankong with nothing short of fervor.
Yankong, on the other hand, maintained his unchanging stoicism, moving through the various medical wards of the medicinal valley as though he’s strolling through a common marketplace.
Soon, he reached the outside of Wen Ruolan’s ward. Before entering, he heard the conversation between the patient and the physician inside.
“Sister Wen, my back is killing me, can you massage it for me?”
A gentle tap sounded. The female physician chuckled: “You rascal! I’m old enough to be your mother! How am I your ‘sister’? And your spine, it’s enveloped by the Two Ambiguity Innate Qi, at most it feels mildly numb, it doesn’t hurt.”
“Ouch, sister, don’t hit me!” The young male patient exaggerated. “I misspoke, it’s not pain, just a strange tingling and unbearable itch. Sister, could you help me scratch it?”
What a frivolous and flippant young man. Yankong chuckled and shook his head helplessly as he entered the ward.
A young lord, probably around fourteen or fifteen-year-old, was lying topless on the warm bed, pointing to his lower back and pleading with the female physician.
The female physician had a helpless expression on her face, her hand outstretched, almost reaching the young lord’s back. But as Yankong entered, the two previously playful individuals immediately became flustered.
Doctor Wen Ruolan quickly retracted her hand, her face flushing slightly. Meanwhile, the shirtless young lord angrily snatched a long shirt to cover his back, scolding the newcomer: “What ill manners you have, monk! You barged into this important place without warning. What if you startled the physician and delayed my healing, could you bear the responsibility?”
Wen Ruolan was alarmed to see Tang Xing cursing at Buddha Son Yankong so brashly. She hastily scolded him, “Quiet down, Little Xing! This is Buddha Son Yankong from Wuxiang Zen Temple, a renowned healer who came especially to treat us. Show some respect!”
After scolding Tang Xing, she turned to Yankong to apologize, “Little Xing is young and naive, having never laid eyes on a saint before. Buddha Son, please forgive him and overlook his rudeness.”
A Buddha Son from Wuxiang Zen Temple is a figure of great authority, who will at least take charge of a regional Buddhist sect in the future. With Yankong’s extraordinary talent in practicing the Sutra of No Suffering and Extinction, he could even be one of the Four-sided Buddha Lord a hundred years from now.
Such a distinguished person cannot be disrespected, even the slightest negligence is a form of blasphemy. At this moment, Wen Ruolan was deeply worried, fearing that impetuous young Tang Xing would receive punishment due to this.
However, Yankong’s reaction was surprisingly mild. Upon hearing Tang Xing’s words, he showed no signs of anger. He simply shook his head slightly at Wen Ruolan, waved his hand and shone the Cihang Treasure Light on Tang Xing, just like he had done in the other wards.
Tang Xing was caught off guard by this sudden light. Despite sputtering “What are you doing”, he was still enveloped by the treasure light.
Given that the Cihang Treasure Light is a Zen artifact, it naturally held the power of calming minds. As the light engulfed him, his feelings of humiliation and anger were expelled. Tang Xing, feeling the Zen intent in the light, fell silent.
Somehow, he raised his left forefinger while his right fist rested on it, with the thumb facing the finger, forming a Vajra Seal.
The Cihang Treasure Light infused by Yankong and the Geng Metal Innate Qi left by Tang Luo in his body were both guided by the Vajra Seal. They merged together, activating the effect of the Vajra Seal Technique, and a phantom image of a guardian deity emerged behind him. His eyes were angry but filled with boundless compassion, resembling an Arahant. The holy buddha light, accompanied by the Sanskrit chants, lit up the entire ward, causing one to wish to prostrate in worship.
Tang Xing did not expect such a phenomenon to occur with the manifestation of the Vajra Seal. In addition, the abrupt removal of the Two Ambiguity Innate Qi from his spine induced a sharp pain in his wound.
The pain was excruciating, prompting Tang Xing to instinctively reach to cover the wound. In doing so, the Vajra Seal he had subconsciously formed dissipated.
With the dissolution of the Vajra Seal, the phantom image of the Arahant also disappeared. The Geng Metal Innate Qi returned to his injured lower back. The tranquilizing effect of the Cihang Treasure Light led Tang Xing to believe that what he had just experienced was merely an illusion.
But the shocked expressions on Wen Ruolan and Yankong told him that everything he had just experienced was all real.
This naughty boy of the Le Tian Sect didn’t bother to ponder over the cause and effect, but seeing the stunned expressions on the two faces, he thought to himself, “Wow… I really am amazing. I’ve even managed to awe the Buddha Son.”
Yankong did not anticipate such a miraculous encounter, nor the discovery of a spiritually gifted child who had good karma with Buddha, when he was invited to the medicinal valley to treat the injured.
He took in Tang Xing’s handsome features, the striking red lips and white teeth, and the bright eyes beneath the sharp eyebrows. This young man had exceptional talent to represent his clan at the young warriors’ gathering in Martial Saint Mountain at only fourteen, fifteen years old, especially given the miracle he manifested after the Cihang Treasure Light enveloped him.
“Master, could this be the ‘karmic connection’ that I have been searching for?”
There was no doubt in his mind. This was the disciple he had been seeking, the reincarnation of the spirit child!
At this moment, everything became clear for Yankong. Even Tang Xing’s bad habits all suddenly made sense – this lad might be his destined disciple, but his character was mired by emotional turmoil and desires. How could he willingly convert to Buddhism? Perhaps this was a test from Buddha.
If he could convert him, then, in the future, the Sutra of No Suffering and Extinction could re-open its sect and continue its legacy. If not, then it was because his own cultivation was not deep enough and lacked the necessary karmic connection. The restructuring of the Sutra of No Suffering and Extinction’s sect would have to wait for the right time.
Yankong smiled, revealing his first smile since leaving the temple to wander the world. The whole ward seemed to brighten instantly.
“Eh… The monk looks very nice when he smiles.” Tang Xing muttered to himself, looking at the smiling Buddha Son.
Had it been before, Yankong would have considered him a frivolous and impertinent young lord. But now he knew that Tang Xing was his spirit child, he saw Tang Xing’s true nature beneath the playful exterior, and he didn’t take offense. He said smilingly, “Young master, you have a predestined relationship with Buddha.”
Silence…
“You must be joking!” Tang Xing blurted out in shock. Even when Yankong sent out his spirit light, he didn’t lose his composure as he did now. He was so upset that he stomped his feet. If he wasn’t so badly injured and immobile, he would surely leap away like a mantis.
But this lower body immobility didn’t stop him from waving his hands in refusal, insisting, “No, no! Guru, you must be mistaken. I’m lazy and lecherous. Since childhood, everything has been handed to me. I can’t stand even the slightest bit of hardship or suffering. Let alone gods, I can’t even stay awake when paying respects to my ancestors. Guru, you must be mistaken!”
Wen Ruolan couldn’t help but laugh. She had never seen a young prodigy defame himself to refuse a Buddha Son’s invitation.
She previously thought he was just a sweet-talking young lord, but now she realized what a flirt he was. No wonder he had called her ‘sister’ so sweetly.
