Seeing the short man rushing over, Luo Kai dodged to the side. At the moment of contact, he saw the short man's true face under the cover of mud. He frowned slightly and quickly searched for the relevant memories in his mind. At his current level, it could be said that his memories of the past were all clear and he instantly found the source.
It was in Jinlan Prefecture of Seongma Province. At that time, he was assassinated by a mysterious sniper. Before that, in a small square, a little girl had sold him a flower. This short man was the little girl at that time. Several years later, in the distant Yunling Province, he actually met her again.
Luo Kai stood on the street and carefully combed through the memories of that time. Now that he thought about it, that little girl might not be simple. The flower she sold him might have a tracking mark. She might even be that sniper!
He no longer cared about the past. Instead, he suddenly felt the existence of fate. With the improvement of the level of life, the mysteries of all things would slowly unfold in front of him. Buddhism emphasized the cycle of cause and effect. If there was a cause, there must be a consequence. If the world was a large net, certain people who were related to it would definitely have connections. Fate might have countless forks in the road, but in the end, it would all lead to the same destination.
He stood there in a daze for a moment and then chased after the little girl's aura.
…
Thirty miles away from the county town, there was a temple called Zhan Yun Temple. Yunling Province was the birthplace of the Heavenly Thunder Palace, one of the three holy lands of body techniques. Buddhism was extremely prosperous. Almost every county town had a temple. In this era, religion not only represented faith and spiritual sustenance, but also represented powerful body cultivation methods.
Unlike other body technique cultivation places, Zhan Yun Temple was very quiet. In the main hall of the temple, several old monks in shabby clothes were leading a large group of people in chanting scriptures.
When Luo Kai heard the chanting of Buddhist scriptures, he actually felt a sense of relaxation. In a trance, his whole body seemed to be floating. He was unconsciously attracted and walked into the temple. Walking in the temple, he smelled the faint sandalwood fragrance and listened to the peaceful chanting of scriptures. His heart was peaceful.
Among the three holy lands of body techniques, the mainstream body techniques represented by Shang Jing University were derived from the essence of Taoism. They emphasized the mutual promotion and restraint of Yin and Yang and the five elements. The Heavenly Thunder Palace and Longyang Temple were the representatives of the essence of Buddhism. They emphasized the growth of the spiritual power. It could also be called the tempering of the spiritual will. Under the enhancement of the spiritual will, any technique would be infinitely strengthened.
The human body was equivalent to a small universe, a treasure that contained unlimited potential. There were two keys to open this treasure. One was the body that was guided by one's genes, and the other was the mind that was guided by one's consciousness.
The method of body cultivation could gradually change the structure of the body. It could evolve into a life form that was most suitable for the external environment. It could even evolve into an energy life form that could adapt to any harsh conditions.
The ease of mind cultivation was different. The size of the mind was the size of the world. Modern science had also proven that there was a mysterious connection between the mind and the body. Aging and death were not only the aging of the body, but also the hints from the mind. Physiology could cause psychological changes, and the mind could cause physiological changes.
Simply put, when you felt that you couldn't do it, you really couldn't do it. But when you had a strong belief that you could not be influenced by negative emotions and firmly maintain your belief, everything was limitless.
Luo Kai came to the back hall of the temple. There was also an old monk chanting scriptures. Compared to the chanting saint in the main hall, his voice was almost inaudible. However, it resonated with Luo Kai even more.
Following Luo Kai's arrival, the old monk stopped chanting scriptures. He turned his head and looked at him with a strange gaze. His gaze looked abnormally gentle, with an expression that bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind. He slowly said, "Benefactor, you have fate with my Buddha."
Luo Kai smiled faintly, "All living beings have fate with Buddha."
The old monk's gaze became even gentler, "Benefactor, why don't you join my Buddhism? You will definitely achieve enlightenment."
"What is enlightenment?"
"Transcendence, Great Freedom is imminent."
Luo Kai shook his head, "The so-called enlightenment is to be able to reach the ultimate level of Silent Void Barrier. It can be comprehended but not cultivated. Whether I join Buddhism or not, it won't affect this' comprehension '."
The old monk paused and nodded with a smile, "Forget it, I was thinking too much."
Luo Kai turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he turned back again, "Master, I wonder what scriptures you were chanting just now?"
The old monk clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist chant. He continued to persuade, "That is the heart sutra of my Buddhism. Benefactor, you must have felt something because you have doubts in your heart. Why don't you cultivate here? You will definitely be able to clear your doubts."
Luo Kai didn't reply. This old monk's spiritual cultivation was extremely high. He could almost feel other people's thoughts just like him. The doubt in his heart was whether he should continue to evolve endlessly. The end of evolution was a kind of path of Heavenly Dao where he cut off all emotions and desires. This wasn't what he wanted to achieve.
He continued to walk towards the back of the temple. There was a small courtyard that was separated from the back hall of the temple. The little girl was carefully feeding a strange person.
This strange person had no limbs and two black holes in his eyes. He looked extremely terrifying. Not only that, he couldn't hear anything from the outside world. He couldn't speak, he couldn't see, his ears couldn't hear, and his body couldn't move.
The little girl nagged as she fed, "Master, you don't know. Those guys chased me for half a street. There were even two middle-level Physique Warriors, but they couldn't catch up with me. Haha!"
As soon as Luo Kai stepped into the small courtyard, he immediately felt a force of nothingness touching him. It had a sense of inquiry.
The little girl didn't notice his arrival and continued, "This meat is from the Ferocious Vermilion Silkworm. It's delicious …"
The strange person suddenly struggled to move his body. His chest and abdomen emitted a rumbling sound. A dull voice like that of a toad sounded, "Welcome, esteemed guest."
"Mas … Master, why did you break the precepts!"
The little girl was shocked. She turned around and only then did she notice Luo Kai. She hurriedly grabbed a sniper rifle that was about the same size as her and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
Luo Kai looked surprised. He had already seen through the strange man's cultivation method. If it was said that Luo Kai had naturally grown to the realm of emptiness through Nirvana Nirvana, then this strange man had relied on external forces. He had cut off his own limbs, sealed his mouth and nose, poked out his eyes, and sealed off all external perception, forcibly isolating himself from external interference. The cultivation method of these ascetic cultivators was really a little masochistic.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question. If you don't answer, I'll shoot."
Luo Kai turned his gaze to her. His eyes were faintly shining. In his senses, everything in the world would not be blinded by superficial barriers. He could directly see the essence of things. This little girl was actually not young. She was born with a deformity. When she was seven or eight years old, her body stopped developing. The heavens and earth gave her an incomplete side, but also gave her a different side. Her spiritual power was naturally stronger than ordinary people's, and her progress was faster. Under the enhancement of her spiritual power, no matter what technique she used, it would be far more powerful than ordinary people.
Compared to physical cultivation, firearms that relied on mechanical power and gunpowder could better highlight this talent. It was no wonder that he couldn't withstand the power of her bullets back then.
The little girl felt as if she was naked under this person's gaze. She unconsciously took a step back.
