In that moment, Li Qingshan felt his heart become extremely full. Colour flowed through Xiao An’s glaze-like eyes too. All they could see was one another. They had forgotten about everything else around them.
The Dauntless Monk furrowed his brows heavily. He was basically tempted to smack Li Qingshan right now. The various monks all responded differently, either raising their eyebrows, pursing their lips or wrinkling their noses, their expressions all indescribably strange.
Something like that had occurred in front of the grand hall of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, the greatest pure land of buddhism in the Green province, so of course it would seem unpleasant to the eye.
“She’s been arranged to cultivate in the Bodhi Realm of Emptiness. That place is cut off from the world. Even if she can leave, how did she know he’s in the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga?” The Dauntless monk was stumped.
“You’ve grown bigger again!”
Li Qingshan caressed her beautiful face. He only felt like he was at utter peace, but completely without a single impure thought.
Chapter 745: Dauntless' Rage, Unraging's Sigh | Legend of the Great Sage
Even with the Dauntless monk’s mental fortitude and composure, he could not help but fly into a rage. He bellowed, “Move away from her immediately, vile spawn!” His voice contained the cries of dragons, already using the Chant of Deva-Nāga.
For a moment, Li Qingshan felt his mind sway. He let go of Xian An uncontrollably, but he immediately composed himself again. He asked.
“Why must you be like this, abbot?”
“How can you behave like this in a pure land of buddhism?”
“I haven’t seen my family for several years, so what’s wrong with a hug? Abbot, you’re having impure thoughts, but I have none!” Li Qingshan refused to back down.
Xiao An stood beside him silently, grabbing the hem of his clothes. A faint smile stretched over her face. She bore absolutely no resemblance to the One Will the monks remembered!
The Dauntless monk became even more furious. He had arduously studied and practised the buddhist dharma for many years. Li Qingshan’s half-assed sayings were nowhere enough to fool him.
At this exact moment, a voice rang out from behind the mountain, “Damn brat, how dare you come to Great Buddha mountain without visiting your master first? All you do is fool around on the mountain. Why don’t you get over here right now?”
“Yes, master! Abbot, I’ll be taking me leave then!”
Li Qingshan readily took the opportunity to get out of this situation. He clasped his hands and left the grand hall, making his way to the back of the mountain. Xiao An followed behind him blindly.
It had been several years since they had last saw one another. They went through various different things and even their appearances had changed quite a lot. However, the sight right now was actually no different from the past.
The Unraging monk laid on the Demon Suppression hall’s stone tablet with a bare belly and looked at Li Qingshan happily. He was filled with delight. With how outstanding his disciple was, he also felt proud as his master!
However, when he saw Xiao An behind him, the delight turned to some helplessness!
During the recent years, Xiao An had basically shaken up Great Buddha mountain. Whether it was her study of buddhist scriptures, debating over the buddhist dharma, cultivation speed or talent for battle, she had completely surpassed any regular person. She became the greatest star of hope in the monastery’s history.
After undergoing the second heavenly tribulation and condensing a ?arīra, she had also become a figure of tremendous weight in the monastery. Li Qingshan was close to thirty now. If she was assumed to be in her early twenties, then even the living buddha reincarnations of esoteric sects were not as powerful!
Her original appraisal was she had a very good chance at becoming a Monk King, but now, the appraisal had already been changed to possessing the potential of ascending. If it were not for the fact that she was female, she would almost be guaranteed to become the next abbot of the monastery. If anyone had the courage to touch even a hair on her right now, the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would basically throw their entire monastery at them.
Only Li Qingshan was capable of something like that. As the Unraging monk’s disciples, he was technically a part of the monastery too, and he was a supreme genius of startling talent on top of that. If any other man had tried touching and hugging her in front of the grand hall, even if it was a descendent of the imperial clan, the Dauntless monk would definitely turn against them and make blood splatter on the mountain.
“Thank you for providing me with a way out, master!”
Li Qingshan said. If he did not have Unraging monk here to support him, the only time when he would ever stand up to the Dauntless monk would be when there was something wrong with his head. He did not actually think the Dauntless monk was someone he could just walk over.
“As long as you understand!” The Unraging monk said in exasperation.
“The Dauntless abbot’s gone too far. If it weren’t for my permission, would Xiao An have come and joined your Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga as a disciple? Look at it now. You have a genius disciple, and it’s buy one get one free with me thrown in the deal. Yet now, he’s actually trying to get rid of me as soon as I’m not needed anymore. Does he still want us to hack down people for the monastery or not!?”
Li Qingshan complained “indignantly”, before turning to Xiao An and asking, “Xiao An, isn’t that right?”
Xiao An smiled resplendently and nodded gently.
The moment of radiance left Li Qingshan stunned too. He sighed inside, In just a few years of not seeing you, your appearance is becoming more and more powerful. The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty really is impressive!
Afterwards, he looked back and continued to gaze at the Unraging monk. He was not enchanted by her at all.
Even the Unraging monk, a monk who ate meat and drank alcohol without any regard for rules, widened his eyes and bellowed when he heard Li Qingshan, “Oi! You damned brat! The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga is a holy land of cultivation for buddhism, not some gang from the jianghu! Who needs you to hack down people?”
“You know what I mean. Please pass this onto the abbot. As long as he stops making things difficult for us, we can guarantee the monastery will shine with a brand-new glow in the future! As the buddha says, you shouldn’t insist on everything and constantly try persisting with your own way…”
Li Qingshan had absolutely no interest in actual buddhist dharma, but he had read plenty of self-help and motivational stories along the same line as “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. He could do a pretty good imitation of how the various professionals and wise men spoke.
“Shut your mouth! If you mention the buddha’s name again, I’ll smack you to death!” The Unraging monk sat up.
“Master, you’ve broken the precept of falsehoods. Aren’t you Unraging? Alright, alright, alright. I’ll stop!”
“It’s true that you have a destiny with me, but I just feel that one day, you’ll stir up a huge problem for me!”
The Unraging monk sighed. Having guarded the Demon Suppression hall for all these years, he actually understood Li Qingshan was just crude with his words and actually very sharp-witted. If just expounding the buddhist dharma was enough to bring salvation to all, what was the point of having abilities? The buddha was benevolent, but even the buddha needed guardians kings to keep evil at bay!
