As he spoke, the old monk bowed deeply to Su Yun excitedly again. After the young monks beside him learned of Su Yun’s identity, they worshiped him even more. All the believers were stunned on the spot. Their eyes widened in shock, and they still could not recover.

Su Yun went forward and grabbed the old monk’s arm. He shook his head and said, “Master, there’s no need to do this. I was indeed rude at first. However, it was indeed an unintentional move. I just felt something after I entered. I wonder if Master can borrow a brush and ink?”

Upon hearing Su Yun’s words, the old monk immediately nodded happily. “It’s our temple’s great fortune that Master Su Yun wants to bestow a calligraphy treasure!”

The young monk quickly ran to a table not far away and took out a pen and paper. He respectfully handed them to Su Yun. The entire hall was silent. Everyone was afraid of disturbing Su Yun.

Su Yun looked up at the statue of Monk Gu Yun. Then, he lowered his head and wrote a few gathas.

“Since ancient times, there has been a sequence in entering the Dao. There’s naturally no time to attain the Dao. The banana tree had never disturbed the mortal heart. It was clean and clear in front of the Buddha. The enlightenment of one’s heart and nature is self understood. Without seeing Tathagata, it’s more like Tathagata.”

After writing this gatha, Su Yun put down his brush and ink and turned to walk out of the room. Everyone watched in surprise as they involuntarily made way. The old abbot picked up the paper and took a deep breath after looking at it.

This was like a conversation that spanned a thousand years. Su Yun’s gatha was in response to the words of Monk Gu Yun. Just from the gatha, Su Yun looked more like the teacher. He was telling Senior Monk Gu Yun that there was no need to worry too much about this matter.

Persistent delusions were the banana leaves that disturbed the peace in his heart. However, when had he, who could finally understand in his supernatural state, ever been disturbed by banana leaves?

BOOM!

There was a loud bang in the hall. Su Yun immediately stood on the spot and looked back. He saw that the statue of Monk Gu Yun, who had been standing in the middle of the hall a moment ago, had collapsed without any warning, as if it was worshiping Su Yun.

When the old abbot saw this, he immediately chanted Amitabha and knelt down. Together with the other little monks and many believers outside the hall, they knelt on the ground. Su Yun walked into the distance step by step and gradually disappeared from everyone’s vision.

“Su Yun, why did the statue suddenly collapse?”

Finally, Xu Jiajia could not help but be curious. She looked at Su Yun and asked curiously. However, Su Yun smiled and shook his head. “Let’s just treat it as a coincidence. How many things in the world can be explained?”

Although Su Yun said that, Xu Jiajia could still tell from Su Yun’s eyes that he seemed to know the reason. Everyone, including the abbot, knelt for a long time. Even when Su Yun disappeared from their sight, they did not get up for a long time.

Later on, the statue of Monk Gu Yun was erected again. However, when the sharp eyed tourists arrived, they quickly discovered that there was an additional stone tablet in the eminent monk’s hall.

The content engraved on the stone tablet was the gatha Su Yun had left behind. This stone tablet stood in front of the statue of Monk Gu Yun. It looked like he was also observing the content of this stone tablet.

It was worth noting that there was no specific source of the words written on this stone tablet. At the bottom of the stone tablet, four clear words were engraved: Master of All Spells.

This also caused many people to be puzzled, but regarding this, those believers and even the abbot kept silent.

Su Yun’s departure quickly restored the bottleneck in the entire Yiling Mountain ancient temple. No one knew that when the ancient temple was not open, when the monks in the room were about to do morning and evening classes, there was an additional process.

That was, other than paying respects to Buddha, they also had to specially come to the Hall of Eminent Monks to worship the stone tablet and make it spotless.

After leaving Yiling Mountain, Su Yun took Xu Jiajia on a new journey. Seeing the attitude of many believers and the abbot, Xu Jiajia became even more curious about Su Yun.

Xu Jiajia did not expect that after Su Yun’s identity as a cultivator was exposed, he would actually have such a powerful influence in such an ancient temple. However, every time this matter was mentioned, Su Yun would always laugh it off.

This trip to the ancient temple on Yiling Mountain made Su Yun even more determined. If he could absorb enough residual aura, he would be able to comprehend the realm above the supernatural state faster.

This made Su Yun’s gaze become more and more determined. Soon, he brought Xu Jiajia on a trip again.

In this life of walking and stopping, the speed of time seemed to have accelerated a lot. Unknowingly, a year had passed.

In this year, Xu Jiajia had also expressed many times that she had never experienced such happiness. And in this year, Su Yun picked up cultivation again. This time, he chose the shortcut of absorbing the supernatural aura.

As Xu Jiajia’s health was getting worse, it seemed that he would have no choice but to stop traveling soon. It was very likely that her physical condition could no longer support Xu Jiajia’s normal activities. If she fell like this, it would be almost impossible for her to stand up again.
