Chapter 584

In the past, it was always Jinshan Temple, Shaolin Temple, that sort of thing.

But these were nothing more than sects within the martial arts world.

Before true cultivators, they weren't even worth looking at.

Only the Buddhist Sect was the true master of Buddhist studies.

Right, when the Buddhist Sect emerged this time, there seemed to be a little nun as well.

The reason he remembered so vividly was that this little nun was damn well also a female lead.

He wasn't making it up; it was the dog author who arranged it that way.

At the time, even as a villain, he was stunned.

That dog author really dares to write!

But fortunately in the end, this nun female lead just stayed by Ye Xuan's side and didn't do anything.

Of course, even so, Xu Chen was dumbfounded.

The Buddhist Sect had monks, and it also had nuns.

But this nun suddenly turning into a female lead was simply a damn ambush he never saw coming.

Later Xu Chen learned that this nun female lead was a lay disciple.

Although her head was shaved, as for the hair—well, a proper Martial Emperor could grow it back whenever he wanted.

But the dog author felt that not growing it back looked cooler.

So in the end, in the original work, that nun female lead never grew her hair back either.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen rubbed his temples.

This nun female lead seemed to have some connection with Cihang Jingzhai as well.

Apparently, she was Qin Xiran's older sister.

What was her name again—oh, Hui Yuan.

Of course, as a layperson she had another name: Qin Xinxin.

Xu Chen bared his teeth; this Hui Yuan was indeed a woman without much killing intent.

Especially since she was extremely beautiful—even without hair, one could still see her peerless looks.

A woman like this could be called a devastating beauty.

After all, ordinary women, once they lost their hair, really were hideously ugly.

A shaved head is one of the standards for testing a woman's looks.

Most importantly, Hui Yuan was single-heartedly devoted to Buddha, her six senses pure and clean.

In the future, she would also be the heir of Jingxin Nunnery.

The force of Jingxin Nunnery and Cihang Jingzhai shared the same origin.

Back then, Cihang Jingzhai was founded by a young girl, and so was Jingxin Nunnery.

The two of them shared that young girl as their ancestral master.

It was only later that a disagreement arose, causing Cihang Jingzhai to split from Jingxin Nunnery and leave on its own.

The reason lay in the matter of keeping one's hair.

Cihang Jingzhai believed it wasn't necessary—as long as one kept a Buddha-heart, that was enough.

One absolutely must not restrict human nature.

In other words, one could fall in love.

But Jingxin Nunnery was different.

They were extremely opposed to the matter of marriage.

They believed that those who followed the Buddha should keep their six senses pure and clean, casting out all distracting thoughts from their hearts.

Otherwise, it would be a betrayal of the Buddhist Sect.

Therefore, Jingxin Nunnery consisted of true nuns, whereas Cihang Jingzhai's were not.

But precisely because of this, Jingxin Nunnery preserved a large amount of original Buddhist Sect martial arts, making cultivation much easier.

As for Cihang Jingzhai's, they had to re-explore from scratch, which resulted in them not being as strong as Jingxin Nunnery.

Even now, Cihang Jingzhai was still exploring.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen felt a touch helpless.

Speaking of which, it wasn't that Qin Xiran lacked talent.

It was that the grade of martial arts she could cultivate was too low.

Compared to her older sister Qin Xinxin, she lagged far behind.

Qin Xinxin cultivated Martial Emperor-grade martial arts, while Qin Xiran was only at the Saint Grade.

Xu Chen then secretly reflected that he still remembered.

Before this Soul Department major plotline, he had met Hui Yuan—that is, Qin Xinxin.

It wasn't anything like bathing or the like, but rather a debate on Buddhism.

In the end, he won.

When it comes to debating Buddhism, once you win, the other person's Buddha-heart becomes unstable, or even collapses.

This is exactly the same as debating the Dao—the defeated party's Dao-heart will also collapse.

Of course, back then he was just debating for fun, and didn't know how things ended up for Qin Xinxin in the end.

Anyway, it seemed there was no problem.

After all, in every life, although he won, Qin Xinxin ultimately followed the protagonist according to the original plot.

The plot had no problems whatsoever.

He recalled this segment of the two of them's original-text-unrecorded solo storyline, and found it slightly amusing.

He had simply gotten a playful impulse, wanting to tease this handsome little nun.

After all, he was a villain — not some righteous faction member.

He wouldn't say things like "sorry," "this one apologizes," or "I have offended you."

He would say it straight out — "Yo, little nun, you sure are pretty, give this lord a laugh?"

As expected, the instant he finished saying that back then.

Qin Xinxin immediately gave him a Zhang Zhong Fo Guo, and he nearly got blasted to pieces.

But regarding this kind of situation, Xu Chen had seen it countless times before — a small scene.

He sensed that Qin Xinxin's realm was far higher than his.

So the Buddhist debate he had proposed earlier was meant to have a proper discussion with her.

At first Qin Xinxin refused, saying those who have left the home do not compete for victory or defeat.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen laughed, and directly deployed a World-Destroying Lotus.

As for its power, naturally it was identical to the Zhang Zhong Fo Guo.

This thing he had secretly learned from Jing Lian.

He hadn't finished learning it, but with his talent, he had already grasped its essence.

Most importantly, Anlong Wudi was an Ashura, one of the Buddhist Sect's Bùtiān Lóng.

The Buddhist learning of a dignified Bùtiān Lóng had long since been passed entirely to Jing Lian.

He had secretly learned five or six parts of it, surpassing the newly-entered-the-world Qin Xinxin — that wasn't all that strange.

Qin Xinxin was secretly startled upon seeing this; back then she hadn't expected Xu Chen to have such Buddhist attainments.

Therefore she agreed, planning to see what sort of person Xu Chen actually was.

So the two began debating Buddhism, and in the end Xu Chen won.

Xu Chen not only won, but also threw in some of his own crooked reasoning.

Things like — life is short, if you don't enjoy yourself, when will you?

The Buddhist Sect restricts human desire, no different from a heretical cult.

Normal men and women should all get married; otherwise humanity would have a hard time having a future.

Clearly, it was all nonsense Xu Chen made up.

Whatever felt good to him, he'd spin it however he pleased, like a floodgate had been opened.
