In the Prajna Hall, Xuanbei couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the commotion and twists and turns outside.
After a while, he turned to the old monks in the hall and said, "Junior brothers, what do you think of this casual cultivator named Qian Yunsheng?"
Although the old monks were sitting indoors, their spiritual consciousness had already covered the top of the mountain, and they were extremely clear about everything that happened in the scene.
As the elder of the Discipline Hall, Xuannian naturally understood what Xuanbei was worried about, and he also frowned and said:
"I originally thought that even if this casual cultivator has slightly inferior qualifications, if he has a good character, he is still a talent that can be developed."
"Therefore, I also agree with Senior Brother Xuanbei to open the thousand-step ladder for him alone. But I didn't expect that this would be the result. It is really difficult to handle now."
Xuan Ku also nodded and said:
"According to what the nephews said, since this casual cultivator is willing to join our Leiyin Temple, it is indeed a way to solve the dilemma. At least it can ensure that the immortal weapons of our temple will not wander outside the temple."
"But now this person's qualifications are so poor. Even if Junior Brother Xuanben and Xuanwen find out later that he has a good character and extraordinary knowledge, he is still far away from the conditions for entering the temple!"
Xuan Jing asked Xuan Nian: "Is there any compromise? We can't just watch the immortal artifacts wander outside the temple, right?"
Before Xuannian could speak, Xuanbei sighed softly and spoke first:
"The poor monk is also worried about this matter. Everyone knows that according to the agreement between our ancestors in the human world and the ancestors in the spiritual world, once a spiritual weapon generates spiritual consciousness, it cannot be detained again unless it is an object that has already recognized its owner. Slavery must be left to one’s own choice.”
"Now that the Heart-Questing Pearl has acquired spiritual consciousness, strictly speaking, we must treat it as an equal."
"Just like many immortal weapons in the temple, as long as there is no recognized owner, we will make a long-term agreement with them when their spiritual consciousness is just born and ignorant, and they will be used by our Leiyin Temple."
Before Xuan Bei finished speaking, Xuan Nian answered: "What senior brother Xuan Bei is worried about is exactly what I am worried about. Strictly speaking, now that the Heart-Questing Bead has been promoted to an immortal weapon, it has its own choice. that power."
"This is also the reason why every time the temple pays so much attention to the immortal weapon to overcome the tribulation!"
"You must know that if this immortal weapon is unwilling to enter into a long-term contract with our temple after successfully overcoming the tribulation, the loss to the temple will not be small. After all, our temple has spent a lot of money cultivating it along the way."
Xuanjing nodded, and Amitabha said: "But fortunately, there has been no trouble so far, and they have successfully signed a long-term contract with us."
Xuan Nian also said Amitabha: "So Junior Brother Xuanjing asked if there is any way to accommodate this Qian Yunsheng. In our Discipline Academy, it is really impossible to do it."
"You also know that the qualifications for entry are the rules set by the first generation ancestor of this temple, Master Shenzhi. The original intention is precisely because he is afraid that future generations of disciples will be unworthy, and he will randomly recruit some with poor qualifications and disturb the disciples. The purity of the temple.”
"So for us, although it is indeed a big problem now that it involves an immortal weapon, how can we arbitrarily change the rules for entering the temple set by our ancestors?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned more and more.
Xuan Jing then simply asked: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what should I do? Do you really want to watch an immortal weapon being taken out of the temple like this?"
"We can't act without shame and forcefully leave this fairy weapon in the temple, right?"
Xuan Bei didn't look too good either. When Xuan Jing asked this question, he could only say: Amitabha:
"Junior brothers all heard it just now. There is an agreement between the ancestors of the human world and the ancestors of the spirit world. Even if we want to take action regardless of it, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."
Xuan Ku also agreed with Xuan Bei’s words and added:
"The agreement between the ancestors in the human world and the ancestors in the spiritual world actually has quite a few loopholes. That's why we were able to take advantage of the loopholes and have managed to keep all the immortal weapons that have successfully overcome the tribulation in the temple."
"But our Leiyin Temple family has a great cause, and we have rashly taken action for this immortal weapon that we have already recognized as its owner. Once it is known to the spirit world, it will easily become an excuse to attack us. In this way, we are now rashly taking action just for an immortal weapon. It’s really not worth taking action.”
When Xuan Ku said this, he saw all the monks frowning slightly, and he sighed inwardly, and continued: "Everyone knows the situation outside recently. In addition to the demon world, the spiritual world has also been frequently in trouble with our human world."
"Especially since the Wenxin Pearl survived the tribulation in Xiaowan City, it can be said that it has attracted the attention of the world. At this time, there is really no need for us to give them such an excuse."
After hearing Xuan Ku's words, Xuan Jing hummed softly:
"You are worried about this, and you are worried about that. Then just let the casual cultivator take the immortal weapon and leave. Anyway, our Leiyin Temple family has a great cause, and we don't care if there is one more immortal weapon or one less one."
"You must think clearly, even if we and other elders have not yet had an immortal weapon in our hands, you are so willing to let this magical weapon slip away from your eyes?"
"You must know that this casual cultivator has poor qualifications. It is very likely that he will die in a hundred or two hundred years. At that time, we can find a way to re-enter a long-term contract with this immortal weapon."
"It's only a hundred or two hundred years, that's just a long period of confinement for all the senior fellow apprentices!"
"Junior brother, I don't need to explain more about what's important here, right?"
After hearing this straightforward statement, Xuanbei thought hard and responded: "Junior Brother Xuanjing's concerns are exactly what I am worried about, so this is where we are extremely embarrassed!"
"It is said that the worse his qualifications are, the less we should let him out of the temple. But it is precisely because his qualifications are so bad that he cannot be admitted into the temple. What should we do?"
As Xuan Bei was talking, he saw two old monks walking in outside the palace door.
Xuan Bei took a look and saw that it was the two junior brothers Xuan Wen and Xuan Ben. He quickly said: "Two junior brothers, how did you measure the character of this casual cultivator?"
After Xuanwen and Xuanben bowed to the monks together, Xuanben said first:
"Amitabha, I'd like to ask, Senior Brother. Judging from what Junior Brother Xuanwen and I have done together, although this casual cultivator has poor qualifications, his mind is indeed quite transparent. It seems to be the result of ordinary experience. He sees too much about the honor and disgrace of life and death, but instead More Buddhist-minded.”
Xuanbei nodded. When he heard the news, instead of being happy, he frowned even deeper.
Xuan Wen spoke to Amitabha from the side: "When we entered the hall just now, we listened briefly to the arguments of the senior brothers."
"The worries of all senior brothers are indeed reasonable, but the young monk feels that this matter is not without improvement."
Xuanbei knew that Xuanwen was in charge of Bodhidharma Academy and was always smart, so he cheered up and asked:
"What's the solution? Junior brother, tell me quickly!"
Xuan asked: "Senior brother, do you still remember that six hundred years ago, there was a seven-fingered Buddha in our temple?"
Xuan Bei was startled by Xuan Wen's words. He thought for a moment before slowly nodding his head and saying:
"Well, I remembered, there really is such a person..."
Immortal cultivators all have excellent memories. Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, Xuan Wen continued to speak slowly:
"Nine hundred years ago, there was a seven-fingered Buddha from the East China Sea who came to the west and stayed in my Leiyin Temple for more than three hundred years. During this period, he also created a unique skill of using the magic finger to subdue demons."
"It's a pity that this person later died during an expedition to the small world of Huangquan. After his death, he left a last wish. I hope that our temple will continue to pass on his mantle from generation to generation."
All the monks nodded, remembering such an old thing. Everyone couldn't help but secretly admire Xuan Wen. As expected, Bodhidharma Academy was the most knowledgeable in this regard, and they actually unearthed such an old story that had been dusty for a long time.
Xuan Wen saw that all the monks had an impression of this matter, so he smiled and said: "But in the past six hundred years, the temple has not done this, but why?"
Xuanben was in charge of the Sutra Pavilion and was very knowledgeable. He understood the general idea at this moment and said:
"This is because the training conditions for the Demon-Subduing Finger of Hama are extremely stringent. It must be practiced by someone with great intelligence like the Seven-Finger Tutu."
Xuan Wen nodded and said, "If it's just intelligence, that's all. Our temple has recruited a lot of talented people over the years."
"But compared with those techniques that directly point to the great road, although the Demon Subduing Finger of Hama is considered a unique skill, it cannot directly lead to the great road after all. It is just a knowledge that needs to be perfected."
"This is the reason why many disciples, although some are very tempted by this fingering method, still have no choice after all."
"Everyone knows that since this smart man chooses to join this temple, the first thing he often has to study is the scriptures of the three major temples in our temple."
"You must know that the scriptures in the three major temples of our temple are also extremely numerous. Even if you put a lot of effort into the scriptures, you can't say that you will be able to thoroughly study one or two. Therefore, there is no time to study others. Where’s the secret skill?”
"Even among the elders here, there should be quite a few who were interested in that unique skill, but had no choice but to give up because it was different from our own sect's techniques and mental methods, right?"
The monks all nodded. Some of them had experienced these allusions personally, and some at least had a rough idea of them. Today, Xuan Wen analyzed it bit by bit, and everyone couldn't help but suddenly realized.
Everyone understands that this smart person is a precious seedling in any sect. How can he not learn the fundamental methods of his own sect and study the great ways, but instead pass on the methods of another sect?
Although Xuan Wen didn't say anything, everyone actually knew it. Even if there are disciples in the sect who have such thoughts, I am afraid that under the deliberate guidance of the elders, they will know how to choose and give up.
Didn't this lead to the embarrassing situation of this unique skill being shelved in Leiyin Temple for six hundred years?
When Xuanbei heard this, his eyes opened slightly and he said in a deep voice:
"Junior Brother Xuanwen, do you want to say that we will take over the apprenticeship as a master and pass on this Demon-Subduing Finger of Harmony?"
