Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 484 - 223: Ten Thousand Serpent Den, Arrival of the Demon Hunter Inspection Envoy, and the Trade Convention (Double-Length) (Part 4)
But no matter what, he developed some hostility and fear towards those bumpkins from Li Taizhou.
...
Jiang Zi Yun looked up at the sky, "Brother Guang, the clouds have changed."
The originally bright sky now seemed to be coated with a thin layer of gray, a strange sense of oppression came over them.
It was as if everything outside had lost its color.
"This Feng Shui Array is really formidable," Jiang Zi Yun exclaimed.
Xu Guang nodded, also becoming somewhat intrigued. His strongest technique in Feng Shui so far was the Three Lights and Stars Secret Record, though it was mysterious, it no longer kept pace with him.
He was very interested in such advanced Feng Shui Secret Techniques.
"This should be the heritage of the Guanxia Mountain’s Locking Heaven lineage. The people from Guanxia Mountain have left many traces, along with many books, plus I have stayed at Guanxia Mountain recently and learned quite a few things, I suspect that the ancestor of Guanxia Mountain once received a mysterious inheritance from Hongze."
Xu Guang looked at Jiang Zi Yun in surprise, not expecting her to know so much.
Just as he was about to praise her, a maid came quickly, bowed to them, and said,
"This way, please."
Xu Guang responded and led Jiang Zi Yun toward the main hall.
Soon, the moment they stepped into the main hall, Xu Guang felt a chill all over, as if entering a completely enclosed space.
The previously quiet environment suddenly became lively.
In the hall, musicians played music, scantily clad women danced gracefully, and maids moved among them, delivering special pastries with exotic scents to every table in the hall.
A maid led Xu Guang and Jiang Zi Yun to an empty table.
On the way, Xu Guang saw several acquaintances, including Shen Muyu.
Jiang Zi Yun had already gone over to chat with Shen Muyu, considering that the two had not seen each other for quite some time.
The dignified man beside Shen Muyu stood up to greet Xu Guang, "Are you Sect Leader Xu of Dragon Gate? This humble monk salutes you."
The man stood up, and Xu Guang saw his bald head with several burn scars, he was a monk.
Shen Chong?
Xu Guang quickly realized the man’s identity.
"Indeed, I am Xu Mou, and you must be Mr. Shen?"
Shen Chong smiled slightly, pressed his hands together, "Thank you, Sect Leader Xu, for your previous care of Muyu."
After exchanging a few polite words, Xu Guang did not return to his own table but sat at Shen Chong’s table with Jiang Zi Yun.
Shen Muyu originally disliked monks of the Buddhist Sect, but this time, for some reason, he kept mentioning the new Buddha’s Son of the Buddhist Sect to Jiang Zi Yun.
Xu Guang then remembered that a few years ago during the Ullambana Dharma Assembly, a Buddha’s Son emerged impressively, debating Buddhist teachings with many high monks of the Buddhist Sect, eventually refuting several high-ranking monks, and became famous throughout the world.
"Buddha’s Son Yan Zhen..."
Xu Guang suddenly turned his head, "What did you say the Buddha’s Son is called?"
"Yan Zhen."
Shen Muyu was startled, instinctively replied, but then realized, looking at Xu Guang with indignation.
Xu Guang ignored Shen Muyu’s emotions, his heart becoming restless.
Yan Zhen...
A very familiar name, the old elephant he met in the Ghostly Land once mentioned that the Buddha’s Son it followed was named Yan Zhen.
Is it a coincidence, or is it indeed that Yan Zhen from over two thousand years ago? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Xu Guang had a premonition that Yan Zhen was indeed the old Yan Zhen.
He suddenly realized he didn’t seem to understand much about the people of the Buddhist Sect, and the Buddhist Sect always preferred to keep to themselves, not entangling too much with the various forces in the Central Plains.
"What kind of person is Yan Zhen?"
Xu Guang asked.
Shen Muyu was taken aback, not expecting Xu Guang to be interested in a Buddhist Sect’s Buddha’s Son.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Should be quite good, I had a few exchanges with him, indeed possessing profound Buddhist teachings, he helped me resolve some... knots in my heart. Previously, he seemed to be a disciple of Master Yuanzhi of Xuankong Mountain, just that he returned to Xuankong Mountain with Master Yuanzhi, and after receiving the Buddhist initiation, he hasn’t appeared in a long time..."
"Hui Ming!?"
Xu Guang was greatly surprised.
"That was his former Dharma name."
Xu Guang fell into silence.
Hui Ming? Yan Zhen?
Resurrection? Or reincarnation?
He was speechless, since Yan Zhen has returned, why hasn’t he sought out the old elephant all these years...
Is Yan Zhen still the Yan Zhen from two thousand years ago?
He felt a bit sorry for the old elephant.
Many experts were also chatting, exchanging ideas about what they were preparing to trade.
"I hear there’s quite a lot of items at this auction, does Brother Wang have anything in mind? Have you prepared any good treasures?"
"Ah, there aren’t that many treasures."
"I heard you gained quite a lot on Crimson Moon Island."
"Oh, don’t mention it, they’re all things used by Qi Refiners, and this auction is a barter one, I’m not sure if I can exchange them out."
