The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 495 - 494

Chapter 495: 494

After offering incense, Ye Tian bowed to the Three-eyed Bodhisattva, then walked back to sit beside Jenny and took a seat on the chair.

"One can attain immortality in heaven, reincarnate and be reborn on earth, but in between," Ye Tian pointed to the ground beneath his feet, "one can only endure all the sufferings of the human world, helplessly so."

"Then the thoughts of you Huaxia people are really pessimistic."

"It’s not pessimism, but rather being more realistic. You haven’t experienced the helplessness of the common people, so it’s hard for you to understand their inevitability."

Jenny strongly disagreed with this, "I’ve also been in contact with them. I’m a helper at three orphanages and am aware of their emotions and thoughts. But I’ve never encountered the kind of complete loss of life’s faith that you mentioned."

Seeing her serious expression, Ye Tian couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, so he changed the subject, "Forget it, you tell me about the Seizing Body Conference. What’s being seized? And how? There are four Masters in your temple, are you still afraid that the Shariputra would be taken away by others?"

Jenny’s face showed worry, "This time the problem lies exactly with these Masters?"

"That one with the skull around his neck?"

"Not just him. The three Brahmin Masters were invited by the previous Great Zen Master to guard the Buddha Beads. There’s a hundred years per term, and this year is the last. Originally, there was no issue, but my Master said that over these hundred years, these three people have slowly mastered the properties of the Buddha Beads and will eventually make their move on the Buddha Beads and the Shariputra."

Ye Tian pondered; if those pile of stones were indeed the Shariputra, then where were the Buddha Beads? The Great Zen Master had not shown him the Buddha Beads.

"Originally, the conference in a few days was meant to promote the Buddhist Law to the entire world, but the Seizing Body Conference made more people join in, with the intention of using the power of the Shariputra to improve their cultivation. Previously, with several Masters in town, naturally, no one would dare to provoke, but now there are rumors that from this year on, the three Brahmin Masters will no longer be Guardians and will join the battle for the Shariputra. With that, definitely more people will come and get involved."

Rumors? It’s probably spread by themselves.

Ye Tian scoffed inwardly, then asked, "But I alone can’t deal with three people at the same time, and besides, I’m just a novice, so how can I compete with Masters who have lived for hundreds of years? It’s really something for your Master to put all his bets on me!"

Jenny stared intently at Ye Tian, "Do you believe in prodigies?"

This question was really... Ye Tian nodded, "I believe. But it’s not me."

"It is you! My Master told me that a person who can master the Panchen Finger is a prodigy!"

"Then your Master might be joking," Ye Tian’s expression was melancholy, his interest lacking, "I’m just a happy-go-lucky backpacker, wandering here and there, purely for fun. If you want me to fight with all my might, that’s really... never mind."

Hearing these last two words, Jenny was somewhat disappointed, but she still understood his decision to some extent.

"However, I still have to do something."

Hope flickered in Jenny’s eyes.

"The person last night clearly targeted me. I don’t know what for, but since we’ve come to life-and-death terms, it’s not justifiable if I don’t fight back now," Ye Tian appeared to pour some more tea into his cup nonchalantly, then continued, "If he wants to eat me, he’d better have a good set of teeth; even if I can’t beat him to death, I have to knock out a couple of his teeth."

After finishing pouring the water, Ye Tian stood up and said, "I need to go see your Master first. My own resources aren’t enough for others to bother with. You rest well, I’ll come to see you again tonight."

Ye Tian turned and left, and Jenny’s heart remained unsettled for a long time. She certainly knew the dangers, which involved more than just talking but necessarily going on stage and killing. When she helped at the orphanage, she had heard about the Seizing Body Conference. That was before the Brahmin and Esoteric Masters were invited - some had fought fiercely at the Seizing Body Conference, it was said that all sorts of Magic Artifacts and weapons flew wildly in the air, causing countless injuries and even deaths, and it even brought about the spectacle of dark clouds and eighty-one bolts of lightning. If it weren’t for the Divine Skills of the Great Zen Master, it would have been a disaster.

Was this man up to the task?

Suddenly, Jenny glanced at the blanket in her hand, where the water lay still, but two tea leaves floated in the middle of it – not rising to the surface nor sinking. They remained still, held in place by a settling spell.

...

The square was crowded with people, and as Ye Tian walked among them, he didn’t let anyone feel anything amiss - a crowd is always the best disguise.

Passing through the crowd, Ye Tian didn’t go to the temple to find the Esoteric Master, as he had told Jenny. Instead, he went up the stairs onto the road and found the quickest route to the museum, using the local map in his memory. He wanted to find Gui Xiao; there were things that needed to be made clear.

Although on foot, taking shortcuts took less than half the time it would have taken via main roads. Still, when crossing the lawns, he got dirty looks from passers-by, even a Husky gave him a disdainful glance while out for a walk, which made Ye Tian feel quite awkward, as if he were losing face for his country. But luckily, there were still a lot of Asians here, so no one associated Ye Tian with Huaxia. Thinking this, Ye Tian walked across the lawns with even more of a spring in his step, even breaking into a trot.

After crossing three lawns, jumping over eight barriers, and jaywalking through seventeen red lights, he finally arrived at the Niagara Museum within half an hour, famous throughout Nepal and even all of Asia.

Entering the museum was easier than entering that temple.

From a distance, the majestic museum stood tall before him, framed by soaring staircases. Truly, as expected in a Buddhist country, even a museum was built with temple-like features; at first glance, it looked almost like an exact replica of a temple.

Five white pillars stood on the staircase; they seemed like white jade stone but were harder. Alongside the great pillars on both sides stood a total of one hundred and eight life-sized Buddha statues, symbolizing the one hundred and eight vexations of humanity.

The number 108 seems to be universally applicable.

Having made one round on the outside, there was nothing special. Although the museum was quite famous, to be honest, its location wasn’t great - it was far more secluded than Durbar Square.
