Chapter 5 Beneath Leiyin Temple, Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere
"Hey, are you practicing Taoism or Buddhism? Why is Amitabha Buddha coming out too?" Pang Bo couldn't hold back any longer.
Lu Sheng chuckled and said, "I'm a practitioner of the three religions, and since it's free, give me a little bit."
After joking around, the three continued on their way, wandering through a pile of ruins and broken walls, and soon discovered the only intact building on Mars.
A tranquil temple stands quietly, with four large characters written on its plaque: Great Thunder Temple.
Now Ye Fan was also unable to remain calm, his eyes widening in utter shock as he exclaimed, "The Great Thunderclap Temple?"
If he saw such a temple on Earth, he wouldn't think much of it, but this is Mars, and there is the Great Thunder Temple here. Doesn't that mean that the immortals and Buddhas of the past really existed?
After calming down, Ye Fan said to the two of them, "It seems we're really about to embark on an extraordinary journey."
Lu Sheng glanced back and could vaguely see the figures of Wang Ziwen and the other classmates. He reminded them:
"Let's go in and see if there's any treasure. That skull was clearly damaged by external force. This place isn't safe."
Ye Fan realized what was happening, nodded, and followed without hesitation.
Upon entering the temple, you are greeted by a stone Buddha statue, with an ancient lamp burning brightly beside it.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "The early bird catches the worm; it's good to be early."
Ye Fan picked it up himself, and said with a hint of surprise, "An ancient lamp that burns eternally on Mars, that's truly miraculous."
"This place is probably the Buddha's sacred site. However, I have read in ancient books that demons are suppressed beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple."
After Lu Sheng turned to the stone Buddha, he found the half of the vajra that should have been found by Liu Yunzhi.
Apart from the three intact Buddhist artifacts, this damaged one is the most powerful.
Because in mythology it is derived from the Vajra Subduing Demons, its main feature is its power and might.
He wasn't greedy; these things would eventually become consumables, used to activate the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and to resist the Crocodile Ancestor.
Who knows when it will be repaired?
Upon seeing that the two of them had found their items, Pang Bo became even more excited and began searching everywhere.
Soon the main force arrived. Upon seeing the name of the Great Thunder Temple and the fact that they arrived in a coffin pulled by nine dragons, clever people would easily associate it with something good inside.
Even the most naive person could see that Lu Sheng and the other two had already been searching inside.
The male and female students leaped in and found various broken objects one after another.
Lu Sheng and Ye Fan were the first to walk out and come to the Bodhi tree. How could one not think of the Buddha who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree?
This time, Lu Sheng didn't dawdle or make a fuss. The Mars Running Man competition, sponsored by Crocodile Ancestor, was about to start, and it was time to slip away.
"To find the dragon and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains... Never mind, I won't recite it anymore, it's good stuff."
Lu Sheng drew his peach wood sword and plunged it straight down, easily picking out a walnut-sized bodhi seed from the tree root, following the wisps of green light emanating from the six crystal-clear green leaves.
Lu Sheng remained unmoved. His greatest desire was to cultivate the path of pollen cultivation so that he could grow a Bodhi tree and see the Bodhi flower bloom.
Enlightenment?
What Bodhi tree could possibly compare to the Willow God?
"Here, take this. Try to plant it as a Bodhi tree later. I've learned an ancient method called the Breath Stealing Technique, which allows you to absorb the energy from the pollen of strange creatures for cultivation."
Lu Sheng casually replied, "I've never encountered any strange flowers on Earth before. I imagine that if the Bodhi tree in front of the Great Thunderclap Temple were to bloom, it would be extraordinary."
"Unfortunately, this tree is already ruined."
He looked at the hollow tree trunk with a hint of regret.
Ye Fan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I can't take what you found first."
"We're practically family, so just treat me to a massage parlor from now on."
Lu Sheng forced it in.
This isn't some world where some protagonists are inhuman, where good people and good buddies fight over resources.
And he wanted to cheat, just to inhale all the pollen.
He has a full understanding of his own comprehension.
Compared to enlightenment, he preferred to move the Blood Great Perfection, using the immense strength of 108,000 jin to dominate the Muscle Domination Flow.
"Ask me anytime if you need it." Ye Fan couldn't refuse any longer, so he didn't continue and instead put it in his pocket and hid it.
The students in the Great Thunder Temple will be coming out soon.
He was happy to help his classmates and was never a pushover.
One should always be wary of others.
Lu Sheng replied, "What I need most is for the Bodhi flowers to bloom. I'm not lying about that. If you have the chance, try planting some."
Ye Fan nodded. He could tell that Lu Sheng still had some secrets he hadn't revealed, but that was normal; even the closest relationships need privacy.
He's still watching movies. Does he have to tell his parents?
After giving his instructions, Lu Sheng looked at the few remaining green leaves on the hollow Bodhi tree, thought for a moment, and then slowly approached the peach wood sword.
Unfortunately, there was nothing unusual.
Soon, a group of people searched the entire Great Thunderclap Temple, and many of them ended up with more items in their hands.
Pang Bo, who had entered first with Ye Fan and Lu Sheng, arrived empty-handed. He walked over to his two companions and said:
"What bad luck! I'm so unlucky. I should have asked you guys to help me look for it."
But then he suddenly remembered something and turned to take down the plaque of the Great Thunderclap Temple. It must be a good thing that it's been hanging there all this time.
Lu Sheng then spoke up, "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Pang Bo asked, puzzled.
Lu Sheng smiled and walked to the plaque, explaining, "Before taking down this plaque, let me tell you a short story, which some of you may have heard before."
Pang Bo crossed his arms and said, "Lu Sheng, be serious for once. I'm not used to you being like this."
Lu Sheng: ......
Is he showing off? Is he even a good friend anymore?
"Ahem, to make a long story short, everyone knows this is the Great Thunderclap Temple, but did you know that in some Buddhist scriptures, the Great Thunderclap Temple is not a good place?"
Lu Sheng recounted, "Legend has it that a peerless demon is suppressed beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple."
As soon as he mentioned it, someone in the crowd immediately remembered and chimed in, "That's right, I've heard of it."
This was something that some of Ye Fan's classmates already knew.
Lu Sheng smiled and continued, "The Great Thunderclap Temple suppresses demons, but we've taken away its Buddhist artifacts. What do you think will happen next?"
Some people exclaimed in fear, "The demons will break free?"
Immediately, those who hadn't received the Buddhist artifact urged, "Quickly, return it! Don't harm us!"
Those who don't have Buddhist artifacts are naturally happy that no one else does either.
However, those who possessed the Buddhist artifacts were displeased. One of the men closest to Liu Yunzhi said, "You have no proof; why should we believe you?"
"I didn't ask you to believe it, nor did I ask you to return it."
Lu Sheng calmly took out the skull he had picked up along the way from his backpack, pointed to the small hole on it, and said:
"I just want to say that it's not safe here."
He then gently swung the broken vajra again, causing wisps of lightning to flicker, and continued:
"And the Buddhist artifacts are clearly extraordinary. We were classmates for four years, and I am not someone who is completely ungrateful."
"Therefore, I suggest that people who have Buddhist artifacts share them with a few classmates who do not."
"In case of danger, this thing might save your life."
