Ye Qiu suddenly discovered that each of these grottoes was very deep. With his current cultivation level, his Celestial Eye simply couldn’t see that far.
Moreover, these grottoes looked almost identical from the outside, with no difference at all.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but complain about Monk Kongjian and Monk Du’e in his heart.
“This pair of master and apprentice is really extremely boring.”
“Digging so many grottoes here is not as good as going out to move bricks.”
“Moving bricks can at least earn some wages and contribute to the country. It’s always better than you two wasting time here!”
Ye Qiu sighed inwardly.
It seems that he can only use the stupidest method.
Try one by one!
With 720 grottoes, as long as he tries 720 times, he can find the grotto where he can see Monk Kongjian.
The drawback of doing this is that it takes a long time.
But currently, Ye Qiu couldn’t find any other way.
Just as he was about to do so, he heard Monk Du’e say, “Master Ye, my master once set a rule that each person has only one chance.”
“If you can’t find the correct Buddhist cave in one try, then you won’t be able to see the master.”
“Then the sword manual will have nothing to do with you.”
“So, Benefactor Ye, you must think twice before you act, and be extremely cautious.”
Damn it!
Ye Qiu felt like swearing.
With so many Buddhist caves and only one chance, isn’t this deliberately trying to trick people?
“Master, are we considered friends?” Ye Qiu suddenly asked.
“Of course.” Master Du’e nodded.
Ye Qiu said, “Then why doesn’t master just tell me which Buddhist cave I should enter to see Divine Monk Kongjian.”
You wish!
Master Du’e said, “The master set up this test here naturally has his intentions, and this old monk cannot interfere.”
“Master, don’t worry. I will never tell the divine monk that it was you who pointed out the way for me.”
“Benefactor Ye, this old monk really can’t interfere.”
“What, master doesn’t believe me? You just said that we are friends. Don’t friends have even this little bit of trust?”
Master Du’e smiled bitterly: “Benefactor Ye, please don’t make things difficult for this old monk.”
Fake friendship, hum~
Ye Qiu pouted and thought to himself that it would be great if True Man Changmei were here at this time.
Although that old thing’s fortune-telling is often unreliable, at least he can give some hints, which is better than him being completely in the dark.
What should I do?
Ye Qiu pondered for a long time.
Abbot Du’e added, “If you really can’t come up with a good idea, Benefactor Ye, I can give you a hint.”
“Oh?” Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up.
Abbot Du’e said, “As long as you join our Tianlong Temple, Benefactor Ye, I will tell you which Buddha cave you can enter to see the master right now.”
Damn it, here we go again.
Will it ever end!
Ye Qiu was a bit annoyed. He even suspected that Monk Kongjian and Abbot Du’e had set up this test here with the purpose of converting him to Buddhism.
“Master, it’s not impossible for you to want me to join Tianlong Temple, but…”
“But what?”
“But shaving one’s hair is easy, but purifying one’s heart is difficult. Even if I join Tianlong Temple, I won’t cut off my ties with the mortal world. However, since Tianlong Temple is short of talents, I can work hard, marry a few more wives, and strive to add a few little monks to Tianlong Temple.”
Abbot Du’e was shocked. If things really went according to what Ye Qiu said, the reputation of Tianlong Temple would be completely ruined.
“Benefactor Ye, don’t make jokes. Monks are not allowed to marry.”
Ye Qiu frowned and had an idea. He said, “Actually, I have the intention to join Tianlong Temple.”
“Really?” Youdaoplaceholder0 between Abbot Du’e’s brows.
Ye Qiu nodded seriously: “Really.”
“Very good, very good.” Abbot Du’e said, “The master said that if Benefactor Ye is willing to join Tianlong Temple, you need to take an oath here.”
“What oath?”
“Never marry and have children for life.”
Ye Qiu was furious when he heard this.
Fuck off, you old bald donkey, don’t try to harm me.
Ye Qiu said he would join Tianlong Temple, but in fact he just wanted to get the sword manual of the Six Meridian Divine Sword and then find a chance to return to lay life. Unexpectedly, Monk Kongjian seemed to have expected his thoughts and asked him to swear an oath.
“What a cunning old man. He wants to cut off my idea of getting married and having children. Dream on!”
“As for the sword manual, I don’t want it anymore!”
“I have the Nine Revolutions Dragon Art and the inheritance. Without the sword manual, I can still become a super strong person!”
Ye Qiu thought of this and laughed heartily.
“Why is Ye laughing?” asked Master Du’e puzzled.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “I think what the master said to Qian Duoduo earlier is very right. What is meant to be will be, and what is not meant to be will not be.”
“The purpose of my coming to Tianlong Temple this time is for the sword manual of the Six Meridian Divine Sword.”
“I know that the sword manual is a precious treasure of your temple, and I can understand that Monk Kongjian has set up many tests. But if I have no chance to see it, it means that I have no fate with the Six Meridian Divine Sword in my life.”
“So, I’ve figured it out.”
Master Du’e asked, “Is the donor going to turn around and leave?”
Ye Qiu said, “Since I have come here, I will definitely give it a try. If I get it, it’s my luck; if I don’t, it’s my fate.”
“I wonder which Buddha cave Ye is going to enter?” asked Master Du’e.
“I don’t know which Buddha cave I will enter either. Let’s leave it all to heaven!”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he picked up a dead branch from the ground and then threw it casually.
The dead branch pointed to the Buddha cave on the far east side.
“I’ll just enter that Buddha cave!” After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he walked straight into the Buddha cave on the far east side.
Can this really be possible?
Master Du’e was dumbfounded.
There are seven hundred and twenty Buddha caves here, which were dug by him and Monk Kongjian. Therefore, Master Du’e clearly knows which Buddha cave one can enter to see Monk Kongjian.
What Master Du’e didn’t expect was that Ye Qiu casually threw a dead branch and found the correct Buddha cave.
This is too much of a coincidence!
Monks don’t believe in coincidences.
Master Du’e put his hands together: “It seems that providence is like this. Amitabha!”
After speaking, he also followed and entered the Buddha cave.
Inside the Buddha cave, it was pitch black. Ye Qiu walked forward with an unhurried pace, as if walking in a bright place.
This Buddha cave is nearly one kilometer deep.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but complain about Monk Kongjian and Master Du’e in his heart again. These two masters and disciples really had nothing better to do. Otherwise, why would they dig such a deep stone cave?
Five minutes later.
Ye Qiu came out of the Buddha cave and arrived in a valley.
Here, wild flowers filled the fields, the pine and cypress trees reached the sky, and the sound of the spring was gentle and graceful.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw that on the cliff on one side of the valley, a seven-story pagoda stood tall.
The pagoda was built of stone, simple and vicissitudes, as if it had gone through thousands of years.
“Master, where is this place?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Congratulations, Benefactor Ye. You have found the correct Buddhist cave. The old monk is truly impressed.” said Master Du E.
Ye Qiu was a little surprised in his heart. He didn’t expect to get it right by chance and said with a smile: “There’s no way, I’m handsome and have good luck.”
Master Du E: “…”
“Master, where is Master Kong Jian?”
As soon as Ye Qiu’s voice fell, a voice came from his ear: “The poor monk is here!”
