Chapter 1027: Chapter 498: Buddhist Sect Technology, Shocking the Heart

The grass walking technique of Lord Xiaoxue is really fast, besides feeling a bit dizzy, there are no other shortcomings.

Fortunately, both Zhang Ze and Li are well-experienced on the battlefield, this little bumpiness is hardly concerning.

However, after landing, Li seemed somewhat puzzled.

"We’re here already?"

"Yes, we’re here." Xiaoxue emerged from the ground, looking at the familiar scenery, stretching leisurely.

She most likely truly came back for a visit. After bringing Zhang Ze and Li to the place, she no longer bothered with the two of them.

Xiaoxue raised her hand and summoned a Little Fuji, and the two of them exchanged a playful glance, then held hands and vanished.

Leaving only Zhang Ze and Li looking at each other in dismay.

There wasn’t even time to ask anything before trying to contact Master Konghai, only to find that his side was completely unavailable.

"You tricked me," Li said angrily.

"It’s not my fault, you believe everything I say, what does that have to do with me," Zhang Ze argued.

Li said, "When we get back, I’ll eat every one of those rotten books you wrote!"

Li’s anger isn’t quite unjustified, mainly because compared to the other five sects, the Buddhist Sect appears overly ordinary.

It lacks the two-mountain gap of the Sword Sect, the full humid atmosphere of the Celestial Palace, and the majestic grandeur of the Celestial Sect town in the arid sea glacier of Central Continent.

Compared to the Beast Taming Sect’s Medicine King Valley, which is like a theme park for flora and fauna, it comes off exceedingly bland.

It can’t hold a candle to Dragon Tiger Mountain either, which is always mystically abuzz, causing small supernatural phenomena without reason.

The Buddhist Sect’s main temple doesn’t even have a gate.

From where Zhang Ze and Li stood, as the terrain lowered, they could see endless fields, intersecting paths, and hear chickens and dogs, presenting a pastoral scenery.

The terrain then gradually rises, separating the village with bamboo groves, and in the shade of the bamboo at the mountainside, several Zen temples sit.

Beyond the Zen temples, the mountain slopes up into another bamboo grove.

One couldn’t say it’s bad, but to Zhang Ze used to grand sights, this place is just overly plain, not quite up to par even as an ordinary tourist spot.

As for Li, it’s completely poisoned by Zhang Ze’s wicked little stories.

Li was pinching Zhang Ze’s cheeks.

"Where’s the promised gleaming Grand Hall of Mahavira! Where’s the Invincible Buddha Country filled with chanting everywhere! Where’s the promised heaven-reaching Ling Mountain fairyland!"

Zhang Ze peeled Li off his face, "Hold on now, what if it’s hidden mystery.

"Look at that old man, maybe he’s Master Konghai in disguise, currently testing me."

Following Zhang Ze’s point, Li saw an old man beside the lush fields down the mountain, his back to them both.

The old man was looking at the rice fields, swaying left and right.

"I think you’re talking nonsense, there’s no test, let’s just directly go to the zen temple on the mountainside..."

However, before Li could finish, Zhang Ze transformed into a streak of light flying down the mountain, ready to act out a bit of helping the local farmer with planting.

"Old man, old man, do you need any help?"

Zhang Ze respectfully stood behind the old man and asked.

Yet the old man ignored him, still shaking with his cane.

Zhang Ze frowned, sensing that this matter was not simple. Looking at the old man’s back, he began pondering what kind of riddle this was, what hidden wisdom there might be in the old man’s shaking movements.

But Li thought Zhang Ze was just being absurd, it flew over, hovered beside the old man, and took off a [Little Walnut 2nd Generation In-Ear Spiritual Vibration Mortal Universal Earphone] from the old man’s ear.

And switched off the [Spirit Tape Recorder] placed not far from the old man.

Maybe due to unfamiliarity with the device, Li accidentally pressed the pause button to open the speakers.

"The vast ends of the earth..."

Hearing the voice from the tape recorder, Li gave the old man an awkward smile, then flipped a middle finger at Zhang Ze.

Clearly, the old man wasn’t farming, nor did he have epilepsy, he was just practicing square dancing by himself.

Amidst the grand background music, Li loudly asked.

"Old man, pardon me for asking, is the Buddhist Sect up the mountain?"

The old man covered his ears, somewhat unhappily saying to Li, "Boy, lower your voice, your old man isn’t deaf!"

That said, the old man switched off the [Spirit Tape Recorder] with his cane.

"What are you up to?" the old man asked Zhang Ze, leaning on his cane.

"We want to go to the main temple of the Buddhist Sect," Zhang Ze said.

"Then go, it’s over there, just follow the path and you’ll arrive."

The old man waved his hand, signaling Zhang Ze and Li to get going and stop disturbing his dance.

"Can anyone enter? Is there no puzzle or anything..." Zhang Ze gestured, trying to explain to the old man what an array is.

The well-informed old man looked at Zhang Ze with disdain, "Spider web array, no such thing. Just knock on the door, it will open, you can enter, if it doesn’t open, head back down."

The old man glanced at Li and added, "You can bring dogs into the temple, but don’t climb over walls, or dig holes, or you may end up in a pot."

"Anything else you can advise this junior on?"

Zhang Ze, covering Li’s mouth to keep it from biting the old man, while dragging it back to him, asked.

"There really is, from your accent you don’t seem to be a local, probably here to become a disciple, right? I see you’ve got a good head shape, shaving it bald might look nice, but to be safe, take this..."

The old man fumbled around, pulled a card from his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Ze.

[Wang Da’s Hair Restoration Cream, let your locks float and flow]

"Regret it? Remember to find me, the old man assures you I can help you grow your hair back."
