I Have A Dual World Seal

"Amitabha Buddha, Young Master Lu, you have keen insight."

"The opponent is a high monk from the Western Buddhism Celestial Pearl Temple. His Buddhist Dharma is profound, and I cannot resolve it." Zen Master Huiejue declared a Buddha’s name, and said calmly, "On the fifth day of October this year, I and Master Dahuo have a Dharma debate, fulfilling a decade-long promise."

Western Buddhism... Celestial Pearl Temple... Master Dahuo...

No wonder Zen Master Huiejue mentioned that he has limited time left. It seems he lacks confidence in defeating Master Dahuo and foresees his death. Thus, he came here, preferring to bear a reputation of the strong oppressing the weak, to resolve the grudge with the Primordial Saint Sect, yet his actions are very measured.

"I see." Lu Zheng nodded.

Du Yueyao glanced at Master Dahuo, smiled slightly, and bowed, "Could we say the grudge between the Primordial Saint Sect and Guilan Temple is settled now?"

"Amitabha Buddha, indeed it is so." Zen Master Huiejue nodded.

"In that case, since fate has brought us together." Du Yueyao smiled, "The Primordial Saint Sect has just arrived, we invite the Zen Master to visit and let Yueyao serve you tea."

Zen Master Huiejue blinked, unsure of the intention.

Du Yueyao chuckled, not bothering with pleasantries, "I have learned much about medical skills alongside Sister Qingyan. Though I may not eradicate the hidden dangers for the Zen Master, I believe I can alleviate your injuries."

This time Zen Master Huiejue was truly surprised and couldn’t help but say, "Celestial Pearl Temple inherits the teachings of the Upper Realm Great Bright Celestial Mother and the Spirit Pearl Bodhisattva. The ’Great Brightness Universal Spirit Pearl Scripture’ is extremely subtle and profound."

Du Yueyao’s eyes flashed with confidence, her tone flat yet full of assurance, "The Primordial Saint Sect inherits the Upper Realm Su Nu, and the ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method’ is no mere Mortal Item."

Zen Master Huiejue, "..."

Is having a powerful backer so significant? Are you bullying our Guilan Temple for not having one?

Well, having a powerful backer is indeed significant!

Although it’s unknown who is stronger between the Upper Realm Su Nu and the Great Bright Celestial Mother and the Spirit Pearl Bodhisattva, they certainly have deeper roots than our Guilan Temple.

But still...

Zen Master Huiejue shook his head, preparing to refuse this kindness, feeling it somewhat awkward.

"Master Hui Jue, do Monk Deng Jing and the others know about this? You wouldn’t want them to keep worrying about you, right?" Shen Ying chimed in with a smile.

Though she’s not fond of Monk Dengjing, the old monk here has some grace, and since Du Yueyao has already extended an invitation, she doesn’t mind saying a few words in support.

Zen Master Huiejue, "..."

"Then I shall intrude." Zen Master Huiejue saluted with hands in prayer.

Even if it’s treating a dead horse as if it were alive, Zen Master Huiejue hasn’t reached the point of seeing through life and death just yet, and with Du Yueyao’s sincere kindness, he couldn’t just refuse.

...

Hence, Zen Master Huiejue formed a Buddha Seal and a Prayer Bead he threw turned into a streak of light, flying towards the southwest direction of Guilan Temple.

Then, everyone soared on clouds, flying directly to Pingtan County. After escorting Guangyue, Liu Qingyan stayed behind while the others returned to Tonglin County.

"I never expected such an old grudge between Guilan Temple and the Primordial Saint Sect." Yuan Jing clicked his tongue, looking at Lu Zheng.

With Zen Master Huiejue present earlier, it was inconvenient for him to speak, so now he reminded Lu Zheng, "Why not have Fan Boyu send a message back to the Southern Border to inquire, in case their Primordial Saint Sect has more grudges in the Central Plains? It would be quite funny if others came finding them unaware."

Lu Zheng replied helplessly, "Do you even need to remind me? I guess the first thing Fan Boyu does after returning is to take a trip to the Southern Border himself, and send a message? By then, it’s too late!"

Yuan Jing was curious, "What has it got to do with being too late?"

Lu Zheng: -_-#

Shen Ying: ^ω^

After sending off the curious and eager Yuan Jing, who was in a hurry to gossip with Master Yue Chen, Lu Zheng took Shen Ying back to Peach Blossom Plain.

By now, the sky had grown dim, and Si Lingxi sat in a chair under an old peach tree, reading a book. Noticing the two descending from the sky, she glanced at them and asked, "Boring?"

Shen Ying shook her head with a smile and said, "Not at all!"

Si Lingxi raised her eyebrows, "Did something happen?"

"We didn’t expect a grudge between Guilan Temple of Yizhou Prefecture and the Primordial Saint Sect. The master of the current host of Guilan Temple died at the hands of Primordial Saint Sect disciples decades ago." Shen Ying said, then took the hot tea Xiaocui handed over, and drank it all in one go.

Si Lingxi nodded, "So you uprooted them and destroyed Guilan Temple?"

"Pfft!"

The hot tea that Shen Ying hadn’t swallowed sprayed out of her mouth again.

Xiaocui wiped her face, took Shen Ying’s tea cup, and said plaintively, "I’ll go pour another cup for you, miss."

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, "Yueyao was kind-hearted. After sparing the Zen Master Huiejue, she invited him to the Primordial Saint Sect to help heal his injuries."

Shen Ying added, "Zen Master Huiejue was injured ten years ago in a Magical Combat with a monk from Western Buddhism’s Celestial Pearl Temple, and on October fifth this year, he will battle with that monk again."

"I see."

Si Lingxi nodded, "Most of those from Western Buddhism, apart from a few, are arrogant, so a lesson or two wouldn’t hurt."

Shen Ying, taking another cup of tea from Xiaocui, sipped lightly and said, "Zen Master Huiejue’s injuries left him stagnant in cultivation for ten years, and he might not be Master Dahuo’s match."

Si Lingxi shook her head, "Then it’s his own lack of skill, no one else to blame."

If one’s skills are inferior, accept defeat gracefully.

So that night, Lu Zheng entered Si Lingxi’s room.

Shen Ying: Σ(°△°|||)︴

...

The next morning, Liu Qingyan arrived at Renxin Hall again.

Lu Zheng walked into the medical shop, slightly swaying, twisted his waist, and came to Liu Qingyan’s side, "How is Zen Master Huiejue’s injury?"

"Old injuries deeply ingrained into the Zen Master’s qi flow, indeed quite troublesome." Liu Qingyan shook her head.

"Then it’s not a problem, he can be healed." Lu Zheng nodded, showing perfect reading comprehension.

Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh, yet did not deny, "Yueyao’s ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method’ is quite extraordinary, and with my assistance using the ’Left Commandment Jade Water Pill Scripture’ plus our medical skills, although the Celestial Pearl Buddha Power inside Zen Master Huiejue is troublesome, it’s not unsolvable. In at most two months, he will be fully healed."

"It’s only May now." Lu Zheng commented, clicking his tongue, "This way, he’ll have a few extra months to prepare and rest."

Even though the grudge between Guilan Temple and the Primordial Saint Sect exists, Lu Zheng’s interactions with Western Buddhism have been unpleasant, thus in his spiteful bias, he still hopes Zen Master Huiejue wins.

"I didn’t expect you all to be so impressive already." Lu Zheng smiled.

Zen Master Huiejue’s cultivation is actually strong, but the old injury entangling him for ten years without relief, Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao managed to handle it. Strictly speaking, they can already be regarded as the top divine doctors of this era.
