Chapter 816

Zhikong, who brought Xin Ding, looked at Xin Ding in surprise. Good question! Why had he never thought of this problem?

"Of course, converting the Red Lotus Demoness won't work." The little old man had several hundred years of practice, guarded the medicine garden, and had excellent Zen meditation skills. He spoke slowly and answered Xin Ding with a smile.

"Marriage is a secular matter, and our Buddhist sect is a pure land of clean cultivation. If the Red Lotus Demoness converted to Buddhism and married Zhiyuan, wouldn't that be introducing secular matters into the pure land and breaking the rules of the pure land?"

Zhikong suddenly realized. As expected of Uncle-Master Wunian, he cleared his confusion in just a few words.

Xin Ding was still puzzled, looking at the little old man with clear eyes: "But I see that gambling is rampant in our Service Yard, Uncle-Master Zhihang of the West Service Yard provokes Uncle-Master Zhiyuan, the four service yards compare themselves with each other, and the Wu Seng Yard selection involves four strong contenders fighting for first place—aren't these all secular matters?"

"I..."

The little old man was choked by Xin Ding and couldn't speak for a long time.

Mainly because what Xin Ding said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it even if he wanted to.

Xin Ding suddenly realized and finally figured this out: "I understand. Uncle-Master Zhiyuan is just one person, so he's easy to manage. The rest of the matters involve too many people, so our Buddhist sect can't manage them, so we just don't."

"I..."

The little old man was speechless. This kid looked dull, so why was everything he said the truth?

This kid definitely wasn't taught by Zhiyuan. If Zhiyuan had this brain, he wouldn't have been trapped by love and failed his breakthrough back then!

Lu Yang was laughing so hard his stomach hurt in the Green Sharp Sword small world. This straightforward personality of Xin Ding was truly a good seedling for the Buddhist sect.

The little old man took two deep breaths and said earnestly: "Xin Ding, you must know that everything has a process of change. It is true that our Western Heaven Temple has many secular filth, but you must also see that the Western Heaven Temple is cleaning up these filth and returning the name of the pure land to the Western Heaven Temple, but these things take time."

"How long will it take?"

"It will take a long time."

Xin Ding thought for a while and felt that the Uncle-Master Ancestor had said something, but also felt that he hadn't said anything at all.

The little old man didn't dare to continue chatting with Xin Ding, lest this little monk ask any more questions that were difficult for him to answer, so he gave the Spirit Pivot Grass and told Zhikong to hurry up and take Xin Ding away.

"Uncle-Master Zhiyuan, this is the Spirit Pivot Grass." Xin Ding handed the Spirit Pivot Grass to Uncle-Master Zhiyuan according to the agreement.

Uncle-Master Zhiyuan took the Spirit Pivot Grass, and a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes: "I suppose you met Master?"

"Uncle-Master Ancestor Wunian? Yes, I met him."

"Did he mention anything about me?"

"He did."

"What did he say?" Uncle-Master Zhiyuan asked somewhat eagerly. Although his master had separated him and Red Lotus, it was ultimately his own fault. He didn't want to see his master because he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Xin Ding thought for a while. He had chatted with Uncle-Master Ancestor for a long time, and it would be troublesome to repeat it, so he decided to summarize the content of their conversation simply.

"He said there are too many filthy things in our Western Heaven Temple, and we can't manage them all. Uncle-Master, you wanting to marry the Red Lotus Demoness is too conspicuous, so the Western Heaven Temple has to manage it."

Zhiyuan suddenly realized and seemed very excited: "So Master's meaning is that I can just marry Red Lotus secretly?"

Master was indeed on his side!

"Is that what Uncle-Master Ancestor meant?" Xin Ding recalled Uncle-Master Ancestor's reaction and always felt that it wasn't like that, but he was dull-witted, so it was normal that he couldn't figure out the deeper meaning of Uncle-Master Ancestor.

Afterwards, Zhikong took Xin Ding and the other three to the Wu Seng Yard. Xin An, Xin Chen, and Xin Ping looked at Xin Ding with awe.

It was not just because Xin Ding had won the championship with absolute strength, but more importantly, the powerful soul bodies hidden in their bodies that guided their practice had all disappeared after that battle!

They knew best how powerful those three soul bodies were. They had disappeared so quietly—what secrets were hidden in Xin Ding!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shiver.

"From today on, you are martial monks of the Wu Seng Yard." Zhikong led the four to receive their martial monk uniforms, and after touring the Wu Seng Yard, he said, changing their identity proofs for the three.

"Starting next month, you will each receive a monthly allowance of ten low-grade spirit stones and ten merit points. If you need more resources, you will have to rely on your own efforts."

The other three were very excited. The treatment in the Wu Seng Yard was indeed worlds apart from the Service Yard.

"I have other things to do, so I'll go first." Seeing that the instructions were almost done, Zhiyuan left the four; he had his own things to do.

"Are you four the new ones?" After Zhiyuan left, someone immediately came to the door, about seven or eight people, and the leader was actually at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation!

The leader looked at Xin Ding intentionally or unintentionally. He was the backer of Xin Cheng in the Wu Seng Yard. He originally thought that Xin Cheng could come to the Wu Seng Yard with the incomplete map of the Elephant Crossing the River he gave him, but he didn't expect him to be eliminated by Xin Ding.

"Hello, Senior Brother."

"Newcomers must know the rules. Every new martial monk must fight us once, so you know what it means to have people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens!"

The four of them became nervous.

"Heavenly Venerable, what should I do?" Seeing that the visitor was unkind, Xin Ding knew he definitely couldn't beat a martial monk at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.

Tofu Heavenly Venerable smiled slightly. Such a small matter didn't require him to take action at all, and he pointed out a clear path for Xin Ding: "Go find a backer."

"I have a backer?"

"Uncle-Master Ancestor, they are bullying me." Xin Ding ran to the medicine warehouse to complain to the little old man.

The little old man didn't expect that just half a day after he finished talking about the Western Heaven Temple cleaning up the filth, Xin Ding would encounter a filthy matter.

This couldn't be ignored.

With an Uncle-Master Ancestor in the Spirit Transformation stage as a backer, how could the people in the Wu Seng Yard dare to mention that new martial monks had to fight old martial monks?

"Do you know that 20% of every new martial monk's monthly allowance must be handed over to us..."

"Uncle-Master Ancestor, they are extorting me."

"You are Zhiyuan's disciple. Do you know that when Zhiyuan was in the Wu Seng Yard..."

"Uncle-Master Ancestor, they couldn't beat Uncle-Master Zhiyuan, so they came to bully me."

Soon, everyone in the Wu Seng Yard knew that Xin Ding was a well-connected person.

Except for Xin Ding himself, who didn't know.

Zhiyuan used the power of the Spirit Pivot Grass to return to the peak of the Golden Core stage. He toured the Wu Seng Yard and couldn't find anyone bullying Xin Ding.

Seeing that everyone in the Wu Seng Yard had an inexplicably good attitude toward him, Xin Ding didn't think much about it, only thinking that he had kept the secret of the Tofu Heavenly Venerable, saved the Western Heaven Temple, and received the reward for good deeds.

Knowing Xin Ding's identity, the Wu Seng Yard would not treat him like other new martial monks, and various resources were tilted toward him.

"Xin Ding, others can choose one cultivation technique at will on the second floor of the Scripture Library when they first enter the Wu Seng Yard. But since you are Wunian's grand-disciple, it is naturally different. You can choose three cultivation techniques at will."

"Uncle-Master Ancestor, they are letting me use the back door."
