jingxin had yet to completely recover from the shock.
he really did not expect that the young man who had been waiting outside the temple for seven days was actually the son of the man who had saved the temple in the past.
thinking of that man's status and strength, even jingxin, a monk, felt a little terrified.
" jingxin, go and arrange for the young master's living arrangements. whatever he needs, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, try your best to satisfy it. however, don't let him know the truth because i suspect that he doesn't even know his own identity. there's no need for us to tell him. if we do, it will only cause more trouble. "
the old abbot said.
"alright, senior brother abbot, i'll do it now."
jingxin bowed and turned to leave.
a moment later, jingxin found long chen.
after a brief conversation, jingxin was surprised to hear long chen say that his name was chen feng.
it seemed that he had indeed lost his memory. the head monk's senses were not wrong.
"almsgiver chen, you can rest in peace. if you need anything, just tell me. i will find a way to deal with it for you."
jingxin said with a smile.
" i really have something to ask master jingxin. i can cultivate genuine qi, but i can't gather it. if my dantian is crippled, is there any other way to solve it? "
long chen looked at jingxin.
for some reason, long chen felt that this temple was not simple.
that was why he asked.
jingxin pressed his palms together. " amitabha. almsgiver chen, i can't answer your question, but i'm sure senior brother abbot can. you can ask the abbot tomorrow morning after the morning class. "
"alright, thank you, master." long chen bowed.
"is there anything else, benefactor chen?"
"i'll have to trouble master to ask someone to send me a few sutras. i want to study them, is that okay?"
"of course you can. almsgiver chen, i will make the arrangements for you."
"alright, thank you for your trouble, grandmaster."
"you're welcome,"
jingxin left the room.
not long after, jingxin got a young monk to deliver five scriptures.
long chen read through the night and memorized the five scriptures. he comprehended them all the way until dawn and gained a lot.
when the morning bell rang throughout the temple, everyone in the temple was busy with their morning exercises.
long chen also got up and went to the morning class together.
after that, long chen followed the old abbot back to the main hall.
just as long chen was thinking about how to ask him this question, the old abbot spoke first, " "almsgiver chen, your problem can not be solved by ordinary martial arts because you are not considered a martial artist."
"ah?" "master, what do you mean?" long chen was shocked.
"in this world, other than martial arts cultivators, there are also demonic cultivators, god cultivators, immortal cultivators, buddhist cultivators, and even demons.
however, ordinary people had no access to these things and thought that they were just legends. however, these things were real.
before you lost your memory, it's very likely that you were already a cultivator, and your cultivation was not low."
the old abbot explained patiently.
"master, your words have really refreshed my understanding of this world. then, if i were an immortal cultivator, would i not need a dantian?"
long chen asked.
"no matter which path you take, you will need a dantian. however, they don't call it a dantian, but rather a spiritual ocean.
now that your dantian is crippled, it's the same as having your spiritual ocean crippled. if it were someone else, i'm afraid they wouldn't be able to walk the immortal path for the rest of their life.
but you're different. your bloodline is special, and with some guidance, your body will have unparalleled power.
with that, it can make all the aperture acupoints in your body extraordinary and you can use them as spirit seas.
the amount of spirit energy in an acupuncture point might be small, but if all the acupuncture points and organs were used as a spirit ocean, then a spirit ocean couldn't compare.
others might not have such a chance, but your bloodline will allow you to do so.
i can give you buddhist scriptures for you to comprehend, so that you can first cultivate a strong and indestructible body. after that, you can gather your spiritual power, and the five qi will return to the origin. you may be able to recover your memories directly, but this requires a process, so you must not rush."
the old abbot said a lot in one breath.
long chen listened very seriously, but he was still half-convinced.
was he really an immortal cultivator in the past?
the old abbot could not see, but he could sense long chen's mood.
"almsgiver chen, there's no need for you to overthink this. you just need to proceed step by step. you don't have to worry about anything in the temple. no one will be able to disturb you," the old abbot said with a smile.
"alright, thank you, master."
long chen saluted.
"it's fine. we'll start training our bodies today. what do you think, almsgiver chen?"
"i'll follow grandmaster's arrangements."
after long chen finished, he couldn't help but ask, " "master, you refused to see me for a few days, and after you agreed to see me, you're suddenly willing to help me like this. is there any mystery behind this?"
"there's no mystery." the old abbot said, " if you agree, it means that you have confirmed the fate between us. buddhism talks about fate. i don't care about other things. almsgiver chen, don't think too much about it. "
long chen was not convinced by his words.
however, long chen did not ask any further. the old abbot would definitely tell him when he could.
now that he was willing to help him, it meant that he was a friend and not a foe.
in the next few days, jingxin brought long chen along to chant, meditate, and train.
it was boring and hard, but long chen adapted quickly, and his comprehension was beyond everyone's imagination.
in just five days, long chen's progress made everyone feel ashamed.
whether it was his understanding of buddhism or the cultivation of his body, long chen had reached a terrifying height.
even jingxin had to admit defeat.
however, long chen felt that he was still too far behind, so he didn't dare to neglect.
time flew by, and ten days passed in a flash.
in the past ten days, long chen's physical strength had exceeded 2000 pounds.
in ancient times, there was an overlord who lifted a cauldron. now, long chen's qi and blood power was no weaker than the legendary overlord.
furthermore, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
the old abbot had been paying close attention to long chen's condition. after learning of long chen's improvement, the old abbot asked jingxin to call long chen to find him.
however, jingxin had just found long chen when he saw a lady chatting with him.
that girl was none other than ye zhi-qiu.
ye zhi-qiu stared at long chen with a complicated expression: " don't ask me why i was able to find you again. it's because you said you were going to shaolin. now, let me ask you, are you sure you don't want to come with me? "
"i'm not leaving." "i can learn a lot here," long chen said."i'm free to eat, live, and learn. i feel very happy and at ease."
"is that so?" ye zhi-qiu clenched her jade-like hands.
"yes." long chen's answer was firm.
"so, you're so free that you don't even want your wife anymore?"
ye zhi-qiu lightly clenched his teeth, his eyes somewhat resentful: "do you know how hard it was for me to come here to find you?"
