Chapter 246: The Howlingly Wealthy Buddhist Sect!
Chapter 246 – The Magnificently Wealthy Buddhist Sect!
Hui Lun’s words were too unexpected for Zhao Yi.
All along, the information Zhao Yi had gotten was that the Buddha had left the Immortal Cultivation World and ascended to the Spirit World.
Although the Sage of the Time had mentioned before that he hadn’t seen the Buddha in the Spirit World, Zhao Yi hadn’t thought much about it.
The Immortal Cultivation World had been sealed by the Sages of the Spirit World and the Three Thousand Small Worlds for over 100,000 years.
For such a long period of time, although the Buddha Sect had muddled their way through, their development had not been smooth, or at least they had never reached the top in the Immortal Cultivation World.
In the first 100,000 years, there was the “Spirit”, and in the 10,000 years after the “Spirit”, there was the Chaotian Sect, and a thousand years ago, the Zhao Clan destroyed the Chaotian Sect and established Daxia.
The alternate history of the Immortal Cultivation World was not exactly dramatic, but within this grand chapter, there was never a shadow of the Buddha Sect.
Even not too long ago, Zhao Yi had led his people to nearly overthrow the Buddha Sect, and the Buddha’s dojo had been destroyed.
If Buddha was still in the Immortal Cultivation World, Zhao Yi couldn’t understand why the Buddha Sect couldn’t develop? Why was it still able to smile at its enemies when its own lair had been destroyed?
Hui Lun was also a human being.
Seeing Zhao Yi’s expression, he easily guessed what was in Zhao Yi’s heart.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Hui Lun folded his hands and said with a smile on his face, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, the young monk knows that you have quite a few questions in your mind, so please move to the Maharajah’s Hall, and the Buddha will explain it to you personally.”
Maharishi’s Treasure Hall?
Zhao Yi frowned, “I remember that the Maharishi Treasure Hall was shattered by lightning, could it be that you guys have repaired it again?”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Sparing Hui Lun’s good temper, he still couldn’t help the corners of his mouth twitch when he heard Zhao Yi’s mouth say the words that lightning had shattered the Mahamudra.
Hui Lun folded his hands together, forced down the agitation in his heart, and reluctantly smiled, “The Mahamudra of the Little Thunder Sound Temple is the dojo of the Buddha’s body, and the place where the Buddha is located is the true Mahamudra.”
“So it is!”
After a moment’s hesitation, Zhao Yi nodded and nodded, “Since the Buddha’s original body is here, then there is indeed no reason for Lone not to pay a visit. Lead the way, Lone to pay a visit to the Buddha!”
Hearing Zhao Yi’s willingness to go over, Hui Lun and the monks behind him glanced at each other, their faces simultaneously revealing joy.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi’s heart grew more and more alert.
These monks were too out of place!
At the same time, Zhao Yi became more curious about the Buddha.
From the reaction of these monks, one could tell that something should have gone wrong with the Buddha.
And the problem was serious.
Otherwise, with Buddha’s strength, he would have directly slapped everyone to death when Zhao Yi brought people up the mountain earlier!
It simply wouldn’t be like this, Hui Lun and the others were just like the turtle eunuchs in the green house, not only did they not dare to seek revenge on their enemies who killed their fellow disciples, but they also had to treat their enemies as if they were benefactors, nodding their heads and compensating for their smiles.
Since he knew that something had happened to Buddha, then Zhao Yi wasn’t worried.
Hui Lun and the others knew that Zhao Yi didn’t have any cultivation, and specially prepared a soft sedan chair when they came.
Zhao Yi wasn’t polite and directly sat in the sedan chair, allowing the monks to carry it in the direction of the valley.
Soon, the sedan chair fell down.
Zhao Yi came out of it and then was shocked by the scene in front of him.
He didn’t see it clearly just now on the way up the mountain, but when he came to the valley at this time, Zhao Yi realized that there was a huge Buddhist temple in the middle of the valley.
The main hall of the Buddhist temple was also the Mahamudra.
This Maharishi Treasure Hall is built on the mountain, dozens of feet high, the doorway beams and pillars are a few people embracing the construction of wood, doors, windows and roof ridges are all thousands of years of golden nanny.
Zhao Yi didn’t even need to open his Heavenly Treasure Eyes to see that the value of this treasure hall was astronomical.
“Hiss, the Buddha Sect is so generous!” Zhao Yi knew that the Buddhist Sect was rich, but he hadn’t expected these monks to be rich to this extent.
Just the few pillars at the entrance alone were enough to feed an ordinary family of three for several lifetimes.
Hui Lun, who was on the side, saw that Zhao Yi was shocked by the size of the Mahamudra and exchanged glances with the monks behind him, a smug look appearing on his face at the same time.
Although the Chaotian Sect and the Grand Xia Dynasty had dominated the world for a while, the gap between them and the Buddhist Sect, which had stood for more than 100,000 years, was definitely not half a point.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Hui Lun interrupted Zhao Yi’s contemplation and smiled, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, please come inside, the Buddha is in the middle of the great hall.”
Zhao Yi nodded and took one last look at those large golden pillars, forcing down his wildly beating heart to enter the grand hall.
“So many goodies, ergo, all of them!”
Hui Lun still didn’t know that he had led the Night Owl through the door.
He saw that Zhao Yi had been staring at those nanmu, and smiled slightly, “There are still some nanmu in the temple, if Your Highness the Crown Prince likes them, you can take some away later!”
Hearing this, Zhao Yi’s eyes lit up.
This kind of golden nanmu was even still available?
And listening to Hui Lun, it seemed like there were quite a few more!
Wealthy!
Zhao Yi forced down the trembling in his heart and said in a casual manner, ”Since the abbot has the intention, then I will not be polite! The Prince’s residence was burned down by thieves, and now it is being rebuilt, so I can use your nanmu! I do not want too much, the abbot will prepare a thousand or eight hundred with me on the line!”
Zhao Yi’s words are completely a lion’s share of the money.
His idea was that he would ask for the price, and then the old monk would pay back the money on the ground.
However, what Zhao Yi didn’t expect was that the old monk had absolutely no intention of bargaining.
He directly agreed!
“Good, good!”
Hui Lun still had the same bland smile, “Since His Highness the Crown Prince is building a blessed land, naturally, the young monk cannot be stingy. One thousand pieces of fine goldenrod will be delivered to the Crown Prince’s residence later.”
It was Zhao Yi’s turn to be nonplussed.
Zhao Yi looked Hui Lun up and down and frowned, “Abbot is so generous, it looks like the plan is not small! Why don’t you tell me straight, so I can determine whether I should take those nanmu or not!”
Hearing this, Hui Lun did not answer directly, but made a gesture of invitation towards the great hall.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, all the answers are in the great hall. Your Highness the Crown Prince only needs to go in and meet the Buddha, and then you’ll understand exactly why the young monk has done all this.”
When Zhao Yi heard this, he turned his head and glanced towards the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
The light in the valley was gloomy, and coupled with the fact that there were no lights lit in the great hall, the inside of the Great Thunderbolt Hall was dark and completely devoid of the golden and radiant appearance of other Buddhist temples.
When Zhao Yi looked inside the Great Hall of Magnificence, he suddenly felt that there was also a gaze shooting out from inside.
That gaze contained some sort of will.
When Zhao Yi met His eyes, he immediately sensed that his soul trembled, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, and he couldn’t lift his head up from the pressure.
In addition to the enormous weight, there were also endless negative emotions such as malice, evil thoughts, resentment, and hatred that rolled in like a tidal wave.
“What is that?”
Zhao Yi’s face changed and he hastily turned away his gaze, his body involuntarily taking a few steps back.
When he once again looked at the Great Xiong Bao Hall, Zhao Yi no longer had the ease he had before.
He looked at the black hole of the hall and felt that what was inside was not like a Buddha, but rather a demon that was evil to the extreme!
