The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 487 - 486

Chapter 487: 486

The courtyard was left with just the three Masters who had been there before, but what no one knew was that there was also a pool of fresh blood in the secret Scripture Pavilion underground.

A smear of bright red, so splendid.

...

The Great Zen Master in front, with Jenny supporting the old woman, walking slowly. Behind them came Ye Tian, pushing the wheelbarrow, with White Bull snoring thunderously, drawing a crowd of onlookers. To be fair, after the Great Zen Master searched Ye Tian and took the rocks, he returned to the temple with a group of monks, leaving Ye Tian to be the center of attention under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Back at the old woman’s courtyard, it was obvious that the Esoteric Master’s feelings towards Ye Tian hadn’t improved, especially after seeing Bai happily leaving the house but then recklessly being pushed back lying in the wheelbarrow; what did that mean?

"What’s wrong with it?"

Ye Tian put down the wheelbarrow and scratched his head, "Sleeping. Siesta time, you know."

"You ask it when its nap will be over?"

Just as Ye Tian bent down to ask, he saw the old woman grab a white stick and try to hit him; he swiftly dodged and complained at the same time, "Why don’t you think about how I saved your disciple? Without me, could she have found you alive? Hey, don’t hit, don’t—don’t hit."

One ran, the other chased; chaos ensued until they finally stopped, both panting heavily.

"You crazy old lady, why are you so unreasonable? The Great Zen Master even had a nice chat with me, look, he even gave me a gift on our first meeting. And you? You practically crammed a bull into my arms - inedible and with a bad temperament. Push me too far and I’ll slaughter it for meat right now! Hey, what are you doing! Don’t come any closer, I will not be polite if you do, hey—hey, that’s mine..."

Like a young lady who had been violated by the town’s bully, Ye Tian looked pitifully as the old woman snatched the Panchen Finger manual from his hands, not saying a word, while the white stick truly hurt like a mother when it hit!

"Where did you get this?"

"The Zen Master gave it to me!"

Seeing the old woman glaring again, Ye Tian completely gave up, throwing his hands in the air and squatted on the ground, "Believe it or not, I don’t care!"

Watching his rascally demeanor, she didn’t say anything more. She turned around, opened the book, and then paused. Turning back, she asked, "What did he tell you? Just now, about the Panchen Finger that Bodhi mentioned, did you... master it?"

Squatting on the ground, Ye Tian turned his head to glance at her. His neck felt a bit stiff, so he shuffled his little feet and turned his body around, nodding, "Yes."

This affirmative answer hit the old lady like a bolt from the blue. She couldn’t help but sway a little. Ye Tian was about to go over and support her but was preempted by Jenny behind him, so he didn’t move and continued squatting there. At the same time, he was smug in his heart, thinking that he indeed was a genius, even more exceptional than the naturally gifted Bodhi. Given time, he would surely be powerful enough to dominate Nanshan Elderly Care Center with his fists and stomp on the northern kindergarten with his feet—and at that time, wouldn’t he have whatever he wanted, hahaha!

"Kid, tell me honestly, what did you see inside Nushen Tower, and what did the Great Zen Master say to you?"

Looking at the white stick in her hand, Ye Tian felt a bit apprehensive.

"Speak quickly!" The old lady saw his gaze fixed on her white stick and swiftly tucked it away behind her, "Speak!"

I thought you were just going to throw it on the ground.

Ye Tian curled his lip inwardly but put on a much more honest face as he could see she was genuinely anxious. He stopped being evasive and recounted everything he saw inside the tower in detail.

The Heaven-reaching Divine Tree, the ghosts emerging from the ground, the black Evil Spirit Array, rows upon rows of ancient books, and that stone wall with the Shariputra stones taken out—these were all things Ye Tian had seen with his own eyes. Not only was Jenny spellbound; even the centenarian old lady who was an Esoteric Master was incredibly shocked. Jenny was amazed by the Arrays and ghosts, whereas the old lady was astounded by what the Great Zen Master did for Ye Tian.

Although Panchen Finger is not some top-tier mental method, it is the one with the greatest potential. You can practice the extremely powerful Bodhi Power, but even if you reach the topmost level, you’ll only stay at the stage of a master. However, Panchen Finger is different; although it’s focused on just a single finger, it is limitless.

Its power doesn’t lie in its strength but in its intention. As for what this intention is, no one can say for sure. Over the past century, only a few Great Zen Masters have been able to cultivate the Panchen Finger—and there was one more recent person, the fifth guardian of the Buddha Bead Relics, the old lady’s senior fellow disciple.

"Did you just say, the Great Zen Master instructed you to practice this Panchen Finger?"

"That broken book was just lying in the corner; if he hadn’t mentioned it, I almost threw it back."

So that’s it. The Great Zen Master is looking for his successor, someone to entrust the temple’s prosperity for the next hundred years—and he’s chosen to hand it over to Ye Tian. Could this Huaxia kid really be so special?

The Esoteric Master was uncertain. Before, she thought Ye Tian was merely a disciple of some Sect—after all, the ancient country of Huaxia has been a place of flourishing arts and wisdom since the olden days, its status in the world far surpassing that of other countries. It wouldn’t be strange for one or two gifted disciples to emerge. However, the rules and frameworks of Sects are inviolable unless there are extremely special circumstances, such as the life-and-death survival of the Sect.

Seven days later would be the Buddha Bead Relic Conference when Buddhists from all over the world will come to witness the splendor of the Buddha Bead Relics. But that would also be the most dangerous time, as no one could ensure that nobody would be interested in the Buddha Beads, which greatly aid cultivation. On the other hand, the Great Zen Master was already an old man, and despite being seen by his followers as the same inexhaustible temple Great Zen Master, it was as Ye Tian said—it’s not that he’s powerful, it’s just that no one else has stepped forward to challenge him.

Having three Brahmin Masters invited to guard the Buddha Beads was viewed by many inside as highly inappropriate. Nevertheless, the higher-ups’ will could not be obstructed, leading to the bitter outcome we see today.

Using the Buddha Beads for cultivation is just a way of speaking—it’s actually more like planning to take the beads and flee. The aged Esoteric Master nearly came to blows over this excuse from the Skull Master. Unexpectedly, before she could act, she was hit at an acupoint by the Brahmin, taking a loss in silence. This disciple, hailed as a once-in-five-hundred-year prodigy of the Brahmins, made everyone wary. The two sizes of Bodhi seeds he carried were peerlessly precious, and anyone who wished to pick a quarrel with him needed to weigh their own capacity first.
