Chapter 77: The Secret Of The Demon Buddha.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
“I, Pao, am guilty!”
“I, Pao, am a sinner to the Shaolin Temple!”
On the stone wall were these lines written in blood, filled with endless remorse.
These were clearly written by Arhat Pao.
Arhat Pao must have suffered a lot before passing away, hence he left these.
“Guilty?”
“Arhat Pao is an Arhat of the Shaolin Temple. Even if he lost Buddha’s Palm, it was because of him suppressing the Demon Buddha. He should not be guilty.”
Su Qin’s thoughts turned, and he quickly moved towards the stone wall and looked down.
Su Qin had a feeling that what he is seeing, is probably the greatest secret of Arhat Pao’s time in the Shaolin Temple 900 years ago.
After a while, Su Qin finished reading the bloody lines on the stone wall.
According to it, Arhat Pao attained Arhat Buddhahood at the age of 150 and became invincible in the world. When he traveled around the world, he accepted a disciple.
This disciple’s aptitude was terrifying to the extreme, even far more than that of Arhat Pao’s when he was young.
This made Pao Arhat overjoyed and felt that he will be leaving the Shaolin Temple to someone promising.
After all, an Arhat can only shelter the Shaolin Temple for 500 years before his lifespan ends.
The disciple he accepted, gave Arhat Pao Arhat hope that someone will take his place and he too would break into Arhat Buddhahood.
Sure enough, the disciple accepted by Arhat Pao reached Grade 1 Great Perfection, and before he was a hundred years old, he achieved Arhat Buddhahood.
What terrifying aptitude one must have to achieve Arhat Buddhahood at such a young age?
However, things soon changed. The disciple, after becoming an Arhat, his temperament suddenly changed.
The disciple turned into the Demon Buddha, wanting to destroy the Shaolin Temple!
Su Qin was silent when he saw this.
Although Su Qin has long known from the ancient books in the Shaolin Temple, that the Demon Buddha almost cut off the Shaolin Temple’s inheritance 900 years ago; Su Qin didn’t expect that it was the Direct Disciple of Arhat Pao.
Arhat Pao, at that time, was at the highest status of the Shaolin Temple and the Demon Buddha, as the Direct Disciple of Arhat Pao, is probably second only to Arhat Pao.
“No wonder Arhat Pao feels guilty.”
“It turns out that the Demon Buddha that had almost destroyed the Shaolin Temple, was the disciple that Arhat Pao has painstakingly cultivated… “ Su Qin sighed.
He finally understands why Arhat Pao chose to die here instead, and not in the Thousand Buddhas Hall.
Arhat Pao was probably ashamed of facing his ancestors.
As for what happened next, Su Qin can guess.
Realizing that not only did he not cultivate the next generation Arhat for the Shaolin Temple, but instead brought forth a Demon, Arhat Pao chose to suppress the Demon Buddha without the slightest hesitation.
It’s just that Arhat Pao didn’t expect that the Demon Buddha, who had only stepped into Arhat, had already reached a level similar to him. The Demon Buddha was even able to one up Arhat Pao.
This strengthened Arhat Pao’s resolve to absolutely suppress the Demon Buddha, even if it costs a high price.
Otherwise, if he lets the Demon Buddha continue to grow, who else in the world would be able to suppress him?
Finally, Arhat Pao used Buddha’s Palm at the expense of a century off his lifespan to suppress the Demon Buddha.
After the Demon Buddha was suppressed, Arhat Pao Arhat knew that he would not live for long, so he hurriedly chose this place and quietly passed away.
“Such a pity.”
Su Qin shook his head slightly and glanced at the two wooden boxes placed in front of Arhat Pao.
The wooden boxes contain the Cultivation Technique cultivated by Arhat Pao and a Bodhi Heart.
Su Qin naturally doesn’t value it much.
After the past 20 years of constant Sign Ins, he had already collected many Cultivation Techniques, ranging from the strongest Divine Art like [Buddha’s Palm] to ordinary ones. His collection can be said to be vast as the open sea and it would not be an exaggeration.
As for the Bodhi Heart…
If Su Qin did not obtain a Millennium Bodhi Heart just now, maybe he would have appreciated this Bodhi Heart more.
After all, compared with a Millennium Bodhi Heart, this ordinary Bodhi Heart was no different from a stone on the side of the road.
“I finally understand the origin of the Demon Buddha.”
“It turned out that he was Arhat Pao’s only Direct Disciple.”
Su Qin glanced at the deceased Arhat Pao Arhat and had a complicated expression.
Perhaps for Arhat Pao at that time, when he accepted a disciple, he had never thought that one day he would cultivate the Demon Buddha using his own hands.
“It’s time to go.”
Su Qin thoughts moved and the two wooden boxes placed in front of Arhat Pao, fell into Su Qin’s hands.
Although he doesn’t need these things, Xuan Ku outside can certainly use them.
Su Qin then left the secret room.
As for Arhat Pao’s dead body…
Su Qin had no plans to move it.
One is because passing away here was Arhat Pao’s wish and choice.
The second is that Arhat Pao cultivated the Demon Buddha, who had almost wiped out Shaolin Temple. Even if it was unintentional, wrong is still wrong.
…
Outside the stone gate.
Xuan Ku opened his eyes wide and stared at the stone gate closely.
“Why hasn’t the Venerable come out yet…” Xuan Ku was worried.
Although the Venerable is omnipotent in his heart, since the Venerable hasn’t come out after so long, it made him start to think about all kinds of stuff.
But soon, there was the slight sound of footsteps coming from the stone gate. Then Su Qin’s figure came out slowly.
“Venerable.”
Xuan Ku trotted to the side of Su Qin, while cautiously looking at the stone gate.
Under the gaze of Xuan Ku, the stone gate began to slowly block the entrance, and everything had returned to its original state.
“This place will not be used in the future.”
Su Qin glanced at Xuan Ku and threw the wooden boxes at him.
“These are for you.”
After obtaining the Millennium Bodhi Heart, the ordinary Bodhi Heart basically lost its appeal to Su Qin.
Even 10,000 of ordinary Bodhi Hearts are far less than one Millennium Bodhi Heart.
For others, the extremely precious (ordinary) Bodhi Heart, in the eyes of Su Qin, is like a dispensable stone.
“If someone asks, say that I gave it to you.”
Su Qin left this sentence, and his figure disappeared.
