“Junior Brother Void, Junior Brother Void, is Junior Brother Void here?”
[When you and Monk Void heard the shout, you put down the white bread in your hands and walked together to the temple entrance. When you opened the temple door, you realized that it was actually a yellow-robed monk that was three meters tall.
[You were instantly exhilarated. The plot had begun. The second monk had finally ascended the mountain.
[The tall yellow-robed monk was also somewhat puzzled when he saw the two monks walk out of the temple. His master had clearly told him that there was only one monk in the temple, Junior Brother Void.
[Monk Void very politely stepped forward and saluted the tall monk before opening his mouth to speak. “Amitabha. Senior Brother, who are you?”
[The yellow-robed monk replied with a bow, “You must be Void. I am Monk Virtue, your Senior Brother. Master said that the seal here to suppress the evil demons is unstable, so he specially asked me to come over and help. May I know who this Junior Brother is?”
[You directly stepped forward and replied, “My name is Monk Emptiness, Monk Void’s Junior Brother.”
[Although your expression did not change, your heart was like a tumultuous ocean at this moment. ‘The Three Buddhist Priests is supposed to be a short animation movie for children! Yet, one can cultivate here, and now the second monk appeared to suppress the evil demons!? How can I resolve this!?’
[Of course, it was in the best direction to strive for the highest score.
[Just like that, the two of you directly led Monk Virtue into the temple.
[Monk Virtue had traveled for a long time. When he saw that the two of you were eating, he didn’t stand on ceremony and directly sat down and started eating.
[Since your appetite was large, under your strong request, Monk Void had already increased the number of steamed buns to six from four per day.
[However, Monk Virtue’s physique was simply too big. He had already finished the remaining four buns before you two even finished the first buns in your hands.
[After he finished eating, he stared at Monk Void as if he was saying, “Do you have any more? Hurry up and bring them up. Can’t you see that I’m not full?”
[In the end, Monk Void couldn’t stand Monk Virtue’s gaze anymore, so he spoke up. “Senior Brother Virtue, our temple has never had many pilgrims, and we are very poor. Now, the food in the temple is only enough for the three of us to eat for half a month.”
[In fact, Monk Void was not telling the whole truth. Originally, he had said that the food was enough to eat for a month. But now, seeing Monk Virtue’s appetite, Monk Void said that it would be difficult for him to last for half a month.
[After Monk Virtue heard this, he said arrogantly, “Junior Brother, go and make some more. Tomorrow morning, Senior Brother will go down the mountain to sell some sesame oil.”
[Hearing Monk Virtue’s words, Monk Void had no choice but to make another five steamed buns. You and Monk Void only ate one each. The remaining three were all eaten by Monk Virtue.
[Monk Virtue, who had eaten his fill, came to the side of the water tank. He picked up the gourd ladle and drank two big ladles of water. Then, he looked at the water tank that was only half full and said to the two of you, “Junior Brothers, Senior Brother isn’t a lazy person. I see that more than half of the water in this water tank has been used up, so I’ll go fill it up right now…”
[Seeing that Monk Virtue was going to snatch your job, how could you accept it? According to your analysis, in The Three Buddhist Priests Universe, this water tank was the main thread of the plot.
[How could you let others interfere and lower your score?
[Therefore, you directly stopped Monk Virtue and said, “Senior Brother, I’m the one who fetches water every day. You still have to go down the mountain to collect alms tomorrow, so why don’t you go take a rest?”
[Monk Virtue actually felt that he had eaten too much and was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to find some work. Upon hearing what you said, there was naturally no problem, so he directly put down the bucket and said, “Well, that’s fine too. Then I’ll go recite the sutras now.”
[As he said that, Monk Virtue walked straight into the main hall and came to the Guanyin statue to recite the sutras.
[You cleared the bowls and chopsticks with Monk Void and also came to the main hall, intending to continue cultivating the unknown Buddhist sutras.
[At this time, you saw Monk Void light a candlestick next to the statue. A ray of light suddenly illuminated the originally dark main hall.
[You immediately recalled the plot of the story. A mouse would knock over the candlestick and ignite the surrounding gauze curtain, causing a huge fire in the temple. Hence, you hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Void, can you not place the candlestick here? There are gauze curtains all around. If you accidentally ignite the gauze curtain, I’m afraid it will cause a huge fire.”
[However, Monk Void did not mind and said to you with a smile, “Junior Brother, don’t think too much. This candlestick is fixed. Even if a strong gust of wind blows in, it will definitely not be able to blow the candlestick down. Moreover, this position is the center of the entire hall. It can illuminate the entire hall. It would not have such an effect if it were in another position.”
[After saying that, Monk Void seemed to have thought of something. He went to the side of the Guanyin statue and rummaged for a while. Finally, he took out a wooden fish and a small wooden hammer.
[After that, he handed the two objects to you and said in a very serious tone, “Junior Brother, I don’t care if you have a deep affinity with Buddha. These are our master’s magic tools. It’s best for you to use it for cultivation when you have nothing to do.”
[With two magic tools, you no longer paid attention to the candlesticks. Anyway, with you here, there would definitely be no problems.
[Just like that, three monks sat cross-legged in front of the Guanyin statue, silently knocking on the wooden fish and chanting the Buddhist scriptures.
[With the support of the magic tools, the Buddhist power in your body formed even faster. Originally, only a part of your body would glow with a golden light, but after knocking on the wooden fish, every knock would increase the Buddhist power in your body by a large margin.
[When you opened your eyes again and looked at Monk Void, you could already see the degree of Buddhist power in his body.
[There were five yellow balls of light in Monk Void, and there were seven yellow balls of light in the body of the newcomer, Monk Virtue.
[Although you didn’t understand the division of cultivation levels in this world, according to your previous experience, you named this cultivation level as the Buddhist Disciple realm.
[Monk Void was at the 5th Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm, and Monk Virtue was at the 7th Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm. You lowered your head and looked at your body.
‘Yes, the 2nd Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm…’
[Originally, you only had the strength of the 1st Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm. However, with the magic tools’ support tonight, you broke through and entered the 2nd Level of the Buddhist Disciple realm.
[Feeling the increasing Buddhist power in your body, you suddenly felt that the world this time was not as difficult as you had imagined.]
…
[On the seventh day, after finishing his morning class, you volunteered to go down the mountain to collect the water. Monk Virtue seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say it. Instead, you continued to pick up the bucket and went to fetch water.
[Because of the increase in your cultivation, the speed of fetching water has increased a lot. Just after noon, the water in the water tank was filled up again.
[And at this time, you felt the hunger in your stomach. Thinking about how long it would take to return to the temple to eat, you thought about going out to get some wild meat. It had been many days since you tasted meat.]
