Chapter 482 - 481
It seemed that the Great Zen Master noticed Ye Tian’s puzzled look and chuckled, "I’ve visited Huaxia three times. The last time I was there, your country was undergoing a revolt; if I hadn’t known some of the Huaxia language, those Red Guards might have killed me."
Ye Tian understood, so it was that movement.
The two stopped at the entrance to the underground passage, where a spiraling staircase plunged straight down into the underground. The rosewood handrails of the passage emitted a pleasant aroma, not only lacking the rotting smell of wood but even seemed more refined amidst the dusty space.
"Young friend, may I know your name?"
Ye Tian thought for a moment and replied, "Youngster Ye Tian."
The Great Zen Master nodded, "Ye Tian, young friend, let’s head down. Inside the Scripture Pavilion, there are thirty million volumes of scriptures. You can choose any to take, and there are fifty million kinds of weapons in the armory for you to select a suitable one. Fortunately, there’s also Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, which houses over fifty thousand types of creatures. As long as you find one compatible with your temperament, you can take it. As for the Buddha Beads, it depends on your Spiritual Energy; after all, above us at Nushen Tower there are four Masters waiting, you’ll have to manage it on your own."
I don’t want to die yet. Thus thought Ye Tian internally, following the Great Zen Master down the rosewood staircase. While walking, Ye Tian marveled not just at the beads, but even the rosewood staircase itself must be worth a fortune. Old Cixi’s rosewood bed with dragon and tiger carvings had almost sparked a conflict among the Eight-Nation Alliance, and if this whole spiral staircase were to be moved out, it would be a fierce silent struggle for sure.
"Young friend Ye Tian, remember that ’All Phenomena are Illusion, and all illusions are phenomena’, don’t be attached to these mundane objects."
