Chapter 1411 - 1410: Brothers of a Hundred Years

The young man was the first to spot Lin Kongxian, immediately stopping his actions and respectfully saluting Lin Kongxian!

"Master Xian!"

The young man said very respectfully!

This was Kongxu Abbot's disciple, who had been taken under his wing for many years. Although young, his reputation within the Shaolin Temple was quite high, and he was named Wukong!

Upon hearing the young man's words, Abbot Kongxu stopped turning the Buddhist beads in his hands, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened!

His gaze held a chaotic color, resembling a black hole, and if anyone looked into his eyes, they would almost be drawn in!

After a moment, the chaotic eyes of Abbot Kongxu transformed back to black and white!

Seeing Lin Kongxian, Abbot Kongxu asked, "Why have you come to see me?"

Without any reservation, Lin Kongxian took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed) and sat cross-legged opposite Abbot Kongxu!

"I've come to discuss something with you!"

While speaking, Lin Kongxian grabbed the teapot on the wooden table and poured himself a cup of tea!

However, after taking a sip, Lin Kongxian spat it out onto the ground, grinding his teeth, and said, "The tea is cold, how do you old baldy still enjoy cold tea?"

"Haha! This is yesterday's tea. Wukong, go brew a pot of hot tea for your Master Xian!" Abbot Kongxu chuckled!

"Yes, Master!"

Wukong nodded quickly, jumped off the kang, and grabbed the teapot from the wooden table, asking Lin Kongxian, "Master Xian, do you prefer light or strong tea?"

"Some Da Hong Pao would be best!" Lin Kongxian laughed cheerfully!

"Master Xian, we don't have Da Hong Pao at the Shaolin Temple!" Wukong looked troubled!

Seeing Wukong's expression, Lin Kongxian chuckled twice. Da Hong Pao is not something everyone can afford; it is indeed very expensive. Lin Kongxian knew Shaolin Temple didn't have Da Hong Pao; he just said it to tease Wukong!

However, Abbot Kongxu gave a bitter smile seeing Wukong's troubled look. Turning around, he fetched a box from a cabinet behind him!

Opening the box revealed a packet of tea leaves!

Abbot Kongxu took out the tea leaves and handed them to Wukong, saying, "Go brew some tea!"

"Yes, Master!"

Wukong nodded eagerly, with a hint of excitement on his young face, seeming happy to solve the problem, purely as a blank canvas!

"You old baldy, secretly hoarding good stuff?" Lin Kongxian raised an eyebrow!

"A wealthy man visited me not long ago, knowing I like tea, he brought it for me!"

Abbot Kongxu smiled casually, then asked, "What is the matter that brings you to me?"

"I've come to borrow the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique!" Lin Kongxian said!

"The Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Abbot Kongxu's brow furrowed tightly, and in a serious tone he said, "That technique is for advancement; what are you up to again? Twenty years ago, you used it to save a dying child. Using it often can reduce your lifespan!"

"Anyway, I've lived for over a hundred years, even if my lifespan reduces, I'd still die later than you. This time I must use the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique; it's crucial for me!"

Speaking, Lin Kongxian jumped off the kang and went to the bookshelf in the corner, rummaging through. Anything good, he shoved in his pocket; anything useless, he tossed on the floor!

Seeing Lin Kongxian behave so familiarly at the Shaolin Temple, Abbot Kongxu's face was filled with bitterness, but he didn't stop him!

After all, Lin Kongxian's master and Abbot Kongxu's master were sworn brothers; he grew up with Abbot Kongxu. In his childhood, Lin Kongxian often visited the Shaolin Temple; even the name Lin Kongxian was given by Abbot Kongxu's master!

That's why many younger generation at Shaolin Temple address Lin Kongxian as "Master Xian"; only Kong Jing calls him "Master Xian" out of courtesy, as they are peers!

Soon, Lin Kongxian grabbed a scroll that had "Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique" boldly written on it!

Satisfied, Lin Kongxian returned to sit cross-legged on the kang!

Abbot Kongxu, filled with curiosity, asked Lin Kongxian, "What's happened that forced you to use the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique?"

Lin Fan and Abbot Kongxu grew up together since childhood, and without anything to hide, Lin Fan explained everything about Demon Island, including his reason for using the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique!

Sure enough, hearing about Demon Island, Abbot Kongxu's face also showed a rare anger, and he barked, "Those cowards fled like scared dogs back then, how dare they come back now?"

"To prevent them from returning to Huaxia's Martial Arts world in force, we must act ahead to stop it; time waits for no one, and we cannot waste time. Only the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique and Lin Fan can decide how this develops!"

Lin Kongxian said!

"But to use the Heaven-Defying Fate Changing Technique, nine individuals with centennial cultivation are needed..." Abbot Kongxu said, troubled!

"No matter! It's been decades since our old brothers reunited; wonder where those guys are hiding now? It's time to gather everyone together!" Lin Kongxian laughed!

Abbot Kongxu's eyes also revealed a look of anticipation upon hearing this!

Meanwhile, as Lin Kongxian and Abbot Kongxu conversed, Lin Fan and Kong Jing also entered Abbot Kongxu's room!

Abbot Kongxu's house had two rooms, two bedrooms and a hall; Lin Fan and Kong Jing entered the living room, where they saw Wukong crouched by a stove, constantly adding chopped wood to the fire!

In rural areas, this pot is called a stove or caldron, with different names in various places; however, with gas stoves and the like, this caldron is now quite rare!

Of course, some people specifically open such restaurants to attract customers, like the famous caldron fish stew, caldron pork rib stew, etc., using this kind of pot!

Seeing Kong Jing, Wukong quickly stood up and ceremoniously saluted, "Uncle Master Kong Jing!"

"Yes!" Kong Jing nodded!

Then, Wukong looked at Lin Fan, blinking his innocent big eyes and asked, "You must be Senior Brother Lin Fan?"

"You know me?"

Lin Fan asked curiously!

"I often hear Master mention you, calling you a great hero! Wukong greets Senior Brother Lin Fan!" Wukong bowed!

Now, Lin Fan was completely puzzled; he never visited Shaolin Temple, so how did Abbot Kongxu know him?
