Chapter 485 - 446: Master Bai Bao, Heart Sutra Mantra, and Sifu to the Rescue!
Xu Jinqiu smiled faintly, knowing that Meng Chuan would not give up.A glimmer appeared, and the Celestial Tear Gold that had occupied Meng Chuan’s thoughts...
Flew out from the drawer and into his hand, "recovered lost and found."
Meng Chuan looked at the treasure in his palm, a weight lifted from his heart.
After much hardship, it was finally legally acquired.
Xu Jinqiu laughed and said:
"Alright, I’ll give you an official Great Chu account. Just transfer the money in the next few days.
The Celestial Tear Gold is yours for now. Look at you, so eager, hahaha."
With the triple assurance of strength, influence, and reputation,
Xu Jinqiu wasn’t worried at all that Meng Chuan would default.
Besides, this thing wasn’t his, it was the country’s.
Even if he defaulted, it had nothing to do with him, it was irrelevant.
Since Lu Zhenshou said to give it to him first, then so be it...
At this thought, Xu Jinqiu was also secretly curious.
This kid, what exactly is his relationship with Lu Zhenshou?
If Lu Ang hadn’t spoken, the official side of Great Chu would never have given Meng Chuan this "special case."
Meng Chuan first put the treasure away, nodding with a wry smile:
"...Thank you, Chief Xu."
He naturally wouldn’t default either; a man cares about his reputation...
Although now, he didn’t have much money in his pocket.
Counting the recent short video earnings, it was just over 150 million.
There’s still a gap of over 300 million.
But if he didn’t have enough money, his master should have some...
If his master didn’t have enough either, he could borrow some from Mr. Shen...
...
As he exited the police station, Meng Chuan headed back to the hotel.
While walking, he pondered:
"I should ask Master for the address for dispatch, might as well ask for some money, no harm in that..."
Having borrowed from Master, he could repay it.
As his reputation grew, Meng Chuan’s short video earnings surged.
In less than a month, he earned over 10 million.
This was despite the fact that he hadn’t updated much recently, living off past gains.
Upon this realization, Meng Chuan hesitated no more.
He would return to the hotel soon to start filming short videos, perhaps post some fist skill tutorials.
Who says money is useless? Now isn’t it "only lamenting when it’s too late"...
...
Meanwhile, in the Yu Region’s Songshan.
In the depths of Shaoshi Mountain, surrounded by peaks and ancient cypress trees.
The red walls and gray tiles of the Shaolin Temple were hidden among the lush greenery, blending Zen and martial charm.
The rich qi of Martial Arts rose like smoke and waterfalls, shooting straight into the sky.
Above the ancestral land of the Zen Sect, regardless of weather changes, it was always cloudless for miles.
Behind the Thousand Buddha Hall’s mountain peak, the Yue Terrace Garden was situated.
The Yue Terrace Garden was the residence of Master Bai Bao of Shaolin Temple.
Built on the summit, the terrain resembled a moon, suitable for viewing the mountain moon, symbolizing "clarity of mind and true nature."
Inside the garden, two people sat facing each other at a table.
"Thank you, Master Bai Bao, for enlightening my doubts and aiding in completing the {{Shiva Washing Elephant}} Secret Technique.
I am willing to transcribe a copy for Shaolin, to preserve its legacy."
Luo Guanyun joined his hands, bowing his head in gratitude to the eminent monk before him.
The Thunder Seed couldn’t be extracted, and the grievance in his Spirit Platform couldn’t be resolved.
However, the other used Buddhist Sect’s wondrous methods, combined with Martial Arts True Gang to suppress those grievances.
He had placed a seal on the Spirit Platform inside him, greatly enhancing his safety.
Master Bai Bao sat opposite, with a benevolent smile.
It was unknown what Buddhist Teachings he practiced, but his body was only four feet and a meter, childlike.
Yet his eyes seemed to pierce through time.
As if they could see through the illusions and the true self, clear and bright.
The most renowned figure in the Buddhist Sect recently was the Immaculate Divine Monk.
And Master Bai Bao was his senior brother; if using Martial Arts Cultivation terms,
he would be called Bai Bao Divine Monk, Bai Bao Celestial King!
He also joined his hands, smiling:
"Donor Luo, we in the Buddhist Sect have a saying that a human life is precious and one should practice goodness diligently.
Your problem’s root lies in the Three Flowers.
Your approach of gathering the Three Flowers at the top contrary to moral norms results in emptiness, making it difficult for future communion between heaven and human."
At this point, Master Bai Bao sighed inwardly.
With Luo Guanyun’s Innate Divine Fullness and superior endowment,
had he entered the Buddhist Sect earlier, he might have brought another Celestial King destiny like His Immaculate Junior Brother.
Luo Guanyun, upon hearing this, said helplessly:
"Thank you, Master Bai Bao; I haven’t thought that far. The resentment in my Spirit Platform feels like a thorn in my throat, so I should live first and think of other things later."
"This is true. Since Donor Luo is willing to transcribe the Secret Technique, I also have a scripture for you, named {{Pure Thought Dispelling Culprit Dharani}}, which will benefit your body and mind when you reflect upon it often."
This is not a cultivation technique, much less martial arts.
It is a kind of dharani, akin to the Heart Sutra’s mantra, such as the Great Compassion Mantra.
In the Buddhist Sect’s Martial Arts cultivation, aside from Qi Blood cultivation, the "Dharani Holding" is also used to aid in nourishing one’s disposition, focusing and strengthening the mind.
Luo Guanyun received the scripture given to him, thanked and accepted it.
"Thank you, Master Bai Bao, I will diligently practice it when I return."
From the name of this Dharani, it seems applicable to my problems, truly worthy of frequent contemplation."
The two then drank tea for a moment, and Master Bai Bao asked the question he had always been curious about:
"Donor Luo, aside from the Horizontal Training Skill from the Taoist Sect, you seem to be practicing the Wudang Qi Nourishing Armor Technique, right?
"At the same time, it seems to have the enhancement of the Horizontal Training Skill of our Buddhist Sect, very impressive. May I ask, what Hard Skills are you cultivating?"
He could identify Daoist techniques, but he couldn’t recognize the Hard Skills of the Buddhist Sect, which was strange...
Luo Guanyun’s old face flushed with pride as he said:
"My disciple created it himself!"
"?? Donor Luo, don’t joke."
Mage Bai Bao knew that Luo Guanyun’s disciple was exactly Meng Chuan, who was recently gaining fame in Great Chu.
Could this kid have created such Hard Skills?
He could sense the enhancement of Luo Guanyun both inside and out due to the transformation of this Martial Arts.
Even the "Essence of the Three Flowers" had seen progress, truly remarkable.
This Martial Arts is at least of high True Skill Level.
Could a little guy who hasn’t even reached Grandmaster level create such a thing?
Seeing Luo Guanyun looking so serious, Bai Bao reluctantly believed him.
"Master Bai Bao, my disciple will come to your temple to study soon, and you can examine this kid then."
Luo Guanyun said this precisely to stir curiosity in the opposite party.
Mage Bai Bao, being a Martial Arts Celestial King, could teach his disciple even a small thing and it would benefit them greatly.
Bai Bao nodded and said faintly with a smile:
"Very well, I will remember, and then we can witness Donor Meng’s elegance.
By the way, what does Donor Meng want to learn from my Zen Sect?"
Luo Guanyun thought about it. He couldn’t quite understand the kid’s intentions.
However, having seen the vastness of Buddhist Teachings these past few days, learning more wouldn’t hurt.
"My disciple has a deep Buddhist connection, it depends on what he is destined to learn..."
Bai Bao thought about it. If someone could indeed create that Horizontal Training Martial Arts on Luo Guanyun.
This Buddhist connection would definitely be second to none in depth.
"Donor Meng is from the United University. We do not belittle ourselves, but generally speaking, ordinary Buddhist Teachings he would definitely not fancy.
Aside from the Tathagata Teachings, but the Tendon-Changing Classic is also a treasure of our Buddhist Sect.
Donor Meng needs more than just Buddhist connection; he must possess Buddhist Wisdom."
Buddhist connection refers to the affinity or connection formed during the practice of Buddhist Teachings, a natural good seed for Buddhist cultivation.
While Buddhist Wisdom is "the wisdom of the Buddha."
The ability to perceive the essence of all things, and the wisdom to break through attachment and troubles, also known as "the wisdom of prajna."
This is the premise for cultivating top-tier Buddhist Sect Martial Arts, rarer than Buddhist connection.
If one cannot see through it, one cannot even understand the text, let alone practice.
Luo Guanyun had great confidence in his disciple, smiling as he said:
"This kid will certainly succeed, and I hope when he comes, the Master will be generous in teaching."
"Wonderful..."
After copying and saving the complete "Shiva Washing Elephant," Luo Guanyun slowly descended the mountain.
For Mage Bai Bao to agree so readily, it must be related to this Secret Technique.
For Shaolin, "Shiva" belongs to an external divine system, the supreme god of external Buddhism.
Maybe this method will lead to the enlightenment of a new Divine Skill, adding depth to the sect.
Regaining his senses, Luo Guanyun muttered to himself:
"This Secret Technique isn’t simple to enter, Meng Chuan will have to learn it under my guidance to be safe; there’s no rush.
But I can deliver some good news to him first, just in time to give this kid something I bought, wonder where he went for an address."
With this thought, Luo Guanyun picked up the phone, noticing just in time a call from Meng Chuan.
Luo Guanyun smiled knowingly, thinking the mentor and disciple indeed had some telepathic connection.
When he heard Meng Chuan’s first sentence.
The smile on his face immediately stalled...
...
[Master, this is Meng Chuan himself, urgent help needed in the Jianghu!]
[What?]
Meng Chuan conveyed the ins and outs about the Golden Tears of the Immortal to his master, then waited.
On the other end, Luo Guanyun thought it over and said:
[I only have a few million left for food and drink, the money’s in the martial hall’s account and it should be enough. I previously gave you the permission to access it, use it at your discretion.]
Only then did Meng Chuan remember, before his master went to Japan, he handed him the financial access to the martial hall.
He hadn’t really managed it, originally thinking he wasn’t lacking money, and hadn’t anticipated this situation.
Meng Chuan had long foreseen his master’s agreement.
He said solemnly:
[Master, I need to withdraw four billion from the account. This is not a small amount, but I will slowly replenish the martial hall later.]
3.5 billion is sufficient, but he wanted to leave some money for personal contingencies.
[Replenish what? It’s all family business; the money is meant for you to use, why else would I open a martial hall?]
Luo Guanyun had already said before, if Meng Chuan’s growth could be supported by the academy, company, and family’s martial hall.
He could advance faster and further.
Now, Meng Chuan finally asked to use the money.
The magnitude was significant, but rather than feeling distressed, he felt quite pleased...
The permission for the martial hall account is currently accessible only to him and Meng Chuan.
Even Luo Meng had previously implied wanting to use the funds.
But he chose to play ignorant knowingly.
As for this daughter, Luo Guanyun really didn’t know what to say, better not to mention.
Returning to his senses, he spoke about the procedure to withdraw the money, finally saying:
[By the way, I exchanged for a storage waist badge for you. You’ve wanted it all along.
Send me your address, consider it your birthday gift for this year.]
[Storage waist badge? Master, where did you get so many special war merits...]
Meng Chuan was a bit puzzled.
Most critically, his master didn’t give him Snow Lotus to suppress his Spirit Platform’s grievances.
Instead, he splurged on him, which stirred a feeling of guilt in Meng Chuan’s heart.
Compared to his master, he hadn’t done enough yet.
On the phone, Luo Guanyun feigned admonishment:
[You mind your own business. No matter what, I am still a Martial Arts Master; this level of skill is intact.]
