Chapter 1161
However, Ye Xiao did not sense any murderous intent from the old monk at this time.
So, he did not respond to the challenge, but stared at the other party and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to see me for?"
The old monk raised his eyes, which were almost completely blocked by wrinkles, and looked at Ye Xiao, like a pool of stagnant water, and said, "My name is Muxutuo!"
The old monk's response made Ye Xiao very confused. He had never heard of this name before, but why did the other party wait for him here?
At this time, the old monk spoke again, "The donor should have heard of my secular name, Norowa!"
Norowa?
When Ye Xiao heard these three words, his eyes turned and he was very surprised. In an instant, he became more defensive.
He had heard this name from Xiong Annan before. He remembered that on the second day after Ye Xiao arrived at the Mian Country Martial Arts Association, the elders of the Jinmian Martial Arts Hall came to challenge him. At that time, Xiong Annan mentioned that the Jinmian Martial Arts Hall had once produced a great master.
After solving the matter of the Jinmian Martial Arts Hall, Ye Xiao also asked Xiong Annan about this great master.
Xiong Annan didn't know his specific life, but his name was exactly Norowa!
According to Xiong Annan, this Norowa became famous in the Mian Country a hundred years ago and founded the current Jinmian Martial Arts Hall. He disappeared sixty years ago. Some people said that he went into seclusion to pursue a more profound martial arts, while others said that he died in a martial arts competition.
The latter statement was obviously more recognized by Ye Xiao. If this Norowa was still alive, how could the Jinmian Martial Arts Hall fall to this day? And how could he not come out to retaliate after he and the Mian Country Martial Arts Association almost defeated the Jinmian Martial Arts Hall?
But now, Ye Xiao undoubtedly has an accurate answer.
There was just one thing he couldn't figure out.
If this Norova was looking for revenge, why didn't he have any murderous aura?
Could it be that because of his practice of Buddhism, he could hide the murderous aura on his body?
But this didn't make sense. He had lived with Lao Cui for a period of time. Lao Cui was also a practitioner with profound Taoism. His strength was not weaker than that of Norova in front of him, but if Lao Cui got angry, he would also have murderous aura.
"Donor, I came to see you today to ask you to do me a favor!" At this time, Norova continued to speak.
Ask me for help?
Ye Xiao was getting more and more confused. He had destroyed most of Norova's disciples. It would be fine if he didn't seek revenge on him, but why did he ask me for help?
Didn't they say that monks don't lie? Why is he joking with him?
Besides, the strength of this Norova should be above his own. If he can't even handle it, how can he help?
"Tell me about it!" Although Ye Xiao guessed that Norova might have bad intentions, what if there was a chance?
After all, he had no confidence in winning a direct fight with such a person.
"My worldly ties have not yet been resolved, and I cannot attain the state of Sotapanna. I would like to ask for help from you, benefactor!" As he spoke, the old monk put his hands together, seemingly sincerely wanting Ye Xiao to help.
Sotapanna?
Ye Xiao had heard the old man from Qingyun Mountain mention it when he was free. This is the title of the first fruit Arhat in Hinayana Buddhism. According to the old man from Qingyun Mountain, reaching this state can achieve the initial enlightenment in Hinayana Buddhism.
In other words, achieving the state of Sotapanna means transcending the mundane world, reaching the realm of saints, and transcending the mundane world.
But to achieve the fruition of Sotapanna, one needs to cut off the six dusts and pay off all the karma of this life!
The old man from Qingyun Mountain also gave Ye Xiao an example. This is the case with the flower monk Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin". In the first half of his life, he drank and ate meat, killed and set fire, and in the second half of his life, he completely practiced and paid off his karma.
When all the karma was paid off, Lu Zhishen had an epiphany when he saw the tide in Qiantang River, so he passed away with a smile.
"How can I help you?" Ye Xiao asked again after figuring out Norova's purpose.
Norova smiled, "Fight me!"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao's mouth opened into an O shape. Isn't this still a fight?
You can be simpler and just say a duel.
Even though he complained, Ye Xiao was still very anxious. Now he still has tasks to do and owes a lot of women debts. He hasn't paid them off yet, so he can't die in the hands of this old monk!
He couldn't help but glance at Yu Haitang who was still in a daze beside him. If he ran away with all his strength, he might still be able to save himself, but he couldn't bear to abandon Yu Haitang.
As if he saw through Ye Xiao's thoughts, Norova said again: "Donor, if you can survive in a fight between you and me, you must haveGreat fortune, but if you run away, you will never make progress in this life. "
"Damn!" Ye Xiao couldn't help but burst out a swear word, this old monk really sees it clearly!
In fact, this is also what he cares about. If he abandons his friends to avoid the battle, his Tao heart will inevitably be greatly damaged, which Ye Xiao cannot accept.
He has already touched the threshold of that realm, and he is only one step away from achieving his wish. If he gives up now, he will probably spend his whole life in a daze!
After a long sigh, Ye Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the old monk, saying helplessly and resolutely: "Find a place, let's fight! "
Soon after, the old monk led Ye Xiao and Yu Haitang to an ancient site in the temple that was not open to the public.
This should have been a rather grand Buddhist temple, but the roof and the surrounding walls were gone, leaving only a few remaining stone-carved Buddha statues.
These Buddha statues were very different from the Buddha statues that Ye Xiao and Yu Haitang had seen in Longguo and other places in Angkor Wat. Their shapes were more ancient and not so solemn. Instead, they looked like ordinary statues of people.
Yu Haitang was frowning all the way. Although her consciousness became a little fuzzy after the old monk appeared, she still heard the conversation between Ye Xiao and the old monk clearly.
From the conversation, she could roughly judge that Ye Xiao did not want to fight with the other party, but the old monk had always looked calm. Perhaps Ye Xiao was not sure about winning the old monk!
But at this time, she could not do anything. Yu Haitang had several She wanted to ask Ye Xiao every time, but Ye Xiao smiled and shook his head at her, signaling her not to speak.
The more Ye Xiao did this, the more anxious she became.
Finally, the three of them stopped in a relatively clean place.
Some simple monks' daily necessities could be seen around them. Ye Xiao guessed that this was probably where the old monk practiced.
Just as the three of them had just stopped, three people came from another secluded path.
All three of them were wearing yellow monk robes. The youngest one was in his sixties or seventies. Ye Xiao could see that although the three monks had not practiced martial arts, they all had powerful mental powers that were not inferior to those of the warriors who had seen the gods. They should be the monks in this Angkor Temple.
The three yellow monks all stopped about 20 meters away from Ye Xiao and the other two, sitting cross-legged in meditation, closing their eyes and reciting Buddhist scriptures.
The old monk sighed, stretched out a hand, and made a gesture of invitation.
"Come on, benefactor! "
As soon as the old monk said these four words, his aura changed dramatically.
If the old monk gave Yu Haitang the feeling of a statue of a god that had gone through tens of millions of years when he first appeared, then at this moment, the statue suddenly opened its eyes and came alive.
