Ch549 - Encountering an Old Friend

Edited by Elanor

Liu Mufeng stayed in the inn for two days, and on the third day, he took Bai Yu to the East Market and set up a stall to sell his pills.

Because there were not many pill shops on this side of the Buddha City and the customer flow was also very high, Liu Mufeng’s pills sold very well, and were sold out early every day by Buddhist monks.

Liu Mufeng and Bai Yu mostly set up stalls in the morning and go to bookstores and artifact shops in the afternoon to choose Buddhist artifacts that were suitable for their use.

On this day, Liu Mufeng came to the bookstore as usual to buy books, but met an old friend he had not seen in a long time — Master Mingwu.

“Master Mingwu, we have met again. It seems that we are really destined.” At the moment of seeing Mingwu, Liu Mufeng was stunned and then smiled. He didn’t expect to meet this old friend from Roaring Tiger Heaven in Holy Buddha’s Heaven, he had a feeling of encountering an old friend in a foreign land.

“Amitabha Buddha, Benefactor, I have been waiting for you here for three hundred years. Finally, you have come.” Mingwu smiled as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mufeng was taken aback. “Master specially came here to wait for me?”

“Yes, not only am I here to study Buddhism in the Buddha City, but also to meet you. Because I know we will meet here.” With a smile, Mingwu said.

“Oh!” Liu Mufeng nodded and expressed understanding.

“Benefactor, I live in the neighboring temple. If you don’t mind, we can go to my meditation room for a chat. Of course, if it’s not convenient for you, I can go to the place where you live.” There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as Mingwu said.

Liu Mufeng pondered for a moment. “Okay, Master, come to my place and have a cup of tea together.”

“Amitabha Buddha, thank you very much, Benefactor.” After buying the books he needed, Mingwu left with Liu Mufeng.

Returning to the inn, Liu Mufeng took the person to his own room and brewed a pot of tea. The two sat together, sipping tea and chatting.

“Master Mingwu went all the way to the Holy Buddha’s Heaven to wait for me, I don’t know why?” Liu Mufeng directly came to the point and asked the other party why he was waiting for him.

“For an opportunity, an opportunity that is very important to me.” Mingwu spoke truthfully.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Mufeng became even more confused. “I don’t quite understand what the Master means.”

“Amitabha Buddha, everything has a cause and effect. I am a Buddhist who cultivates my mind, and there are demons in the lower world who cause harm to the human world. It is precisely when I save the lives and suffering of the poor that such merits are a great opportunity for me. However, for you, Master Liu, this is not an opportunity.” Mingwu said as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

“Master, is there something wrong with the lower realm? Can you explain this to me, Master?”

“Amitabha Buddha, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. I can only say that the disaster this time should be on Master Liu. Master Liu should have taken this poor monk to rescue sentient beings early, to save everyone from suffering.” Mingwu said.

“Okay, I will listen to the Master. I will gather all the immortal crystals needed for our journey and set off as soon as possible.” Liu Mufeng nodded and said.

“Amitabha Buddha, three days later, this poor monk will meet you at the East City Gate. I will bid you farewell.” As he spoke, Mingwu stood up from his chair.

“Okay, thank you very much, Master.” Liu Mufeng stood up and smiled as he escorted the person out of the inn.

After seeing off Mingwu, Liu Mufeng sat alone in a chair and began to ponder. For some reason, after meeting Mingwu today, he always felt a faint unease, as if something had happened in the lower realm. Otherwise, Mingwu would not have said anything to save the world.

“Master, are you okay?” Bai Yu couldn’t help but frown as he looked at Liu Mufeng’s ugly face.

Liu Mufeng glanced at Bai Yu then shook his head lightly. “I’m okay, tomorrow you go set up a stall, and I’ll send some pills to other pill shops. Turn the pills in our hands into immortal crystals as soon as possible, save up enough travel expenses, and we’ll go back to the Cultivation World.”

“What about Buddhist artifacts? Don’t you still want to buy Buddhist artifacts?” Bai Yu asked as he looked at Liu Mufeng.

“I have already bought ten Buddhist artifacts. That’s enough.” If Mingwu could be with them, it would be worth millions of Buddhist artifacts.

“Oh!” Upon hearing this, Bai Yu nodded and didn’t say anything more.

It was unknown if it was Liu Mufeng’s good luck or Mingwu’s help in the dark, Liu Mufeng’s pills had been selling smoothly for the past three days. When the third day arrived, Liu Mufeng and Mingwu turned around outside the city and left the Holy Buddha’s Heaven on a level nine cloud shuttle, heading straight to the Cultivation World.

Mingwu was a very quiet person. After entering the Cloud Shuttle, he just asked when they would arrive and after obtaining the answer of thirty years, he directly found a room and went to cultivate. There was no intention of disturbing Liu Mufeng at all. Of course, he had set up a barrier in the room and did not want to be disturbed by Liu Mufeng either.

After arranging Mingwu’s accommodation, Liu Mufeng handed over the task of driving to Bai Yu and Tiantian and also went to the room to practice and refine pills himself.

Bai Yu and Tiantian were very depressed when Liu Mufeng fobbed off the responsibility to them. However, there was no choice but to take on the task despite feeling depressed. Who made them not need to cultivate? There was no other way, the two of them were the most suitable candidates for driving.

**********

Ten years later, Jiang Xu left seclusion. After twenty years of seclusion in the bracelet dimension, Jiang Xu’s strength had been elevated to the third level of Void Immortal.

Seeing his lover coming out, Liu Mufeng was very happy. “Not bad, your strength has improved again.”

“It’s okay, you should also quickly go into seclusion, there is only twenty years left before we arrive.” Jiang Xu anxiously urged as he looked at his partner.

Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly. “Baobei, you just came out of seclusion and I just glanced at you, and you immediately asked me to go into seclusion?”

Looking at the aggrieved expression on his man’s face, Jiang Xu sighed helplessly. “Except for you, everyone else is in seclusion. I’m afraid you might fall behind.”

“I’m not in a hurry.” Liu Mufeng smiled and kissed his beloved’s forehead.

Watching his lover embrace him, Jiang Xu reached out and touched the man’s handsome face. “Missed me?”

“Of course, I missed you every day.” Liu Mufeng said passionately as he kissed his lover’s lips.

“I missed you too.” Jiang Xu took the initiative to wrap his arms around his lover’s neck, and his soft lips kissed his lover’s thin lips.

Turning passivity into initiative, Liu Mufeng easily regained the initiative, entangled his lover’s lips, and passionately sucked and kissed.

After being entangled by Liu Mufeng for half a month, Jiang Xu finally gained his freedom. The couple sat together eating and chatting about the past few years.

“Mufeng, have you bought all the Buddhist artifacts?” Jiang Xu asked about the Buddhist artifacts while drinking porridge.

“Don’t worry, I have bought all the Buddhist artifacts. Not only have I bought them, but I have also invited a renowned monk to come back with us.”

“Oh? Renowned monk?” Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Yes, do you still remember Master Mingwu from Jian City? I met him again in Holy Buddha’s Heaven, and he said he wanted to go with me to the lower realm to save all beings.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng actually felt surprised.

“Mingwu? But we’re not familiar with him. Can this monk be trusted?” Jiang Xu asked anxiously, looking at his own man.

“Although I have only seen him twice, I have an intuition that this monk can be trusted. Moreover, Mingwu has the ability to do divination. Even if I don’t take him with me, as long as he wants to go, he still has a way to go. So, I can’t refuse him.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng was also very helpless. Mingwu was not an ordinary person. For someone who knew everything, what they wanted to do was generally impossible to fail.

“But why does he have to go through the trouble of going to the Cultivation World with us when he’s not a good Immortal Realm Buddhist cultivator?” Jiang Xu couldn’t understand this.

“For the sake of chance. Buddhism cultivates mental power. He needs merit, and with merit, he can enhance his strength. If the lower realm really becomes chaotic, then it is time for him to show his skills. As long as he quells evil, it is his supreme merit. It is not impossible to directly advance to the level of Immortal King through this.” Regarding Buddhism, Liu Mufeng still has some understanding to some extent.

“Merit? So he calculated that the lower realm is not peaceful?”

“I think so, but he said that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. He didn’t tell me clearly. However, he said that this matter was caused by me. If what I expected was right, it must be related to Xue Yan and Xue Die couple. Both of them are from different races, and the invasion of foreign races gave Buddhism the opportunity to uphold the right path and achieve great merit.”

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Xu’s face changed. “Is it a Demon invasion?”

“There is a possibility. Demons have always been something that Buddha does not like.” Buddha was the nemesis of demonic cultivation, so demonic cultivators did not like Buddha, and similarly, Buddha did not like demonic cultivators for the sake of tribulation.

“Then we need to go back as soon as possible.” Thinking of this, Jiang Xu felt a little anxious.

“We are using the fastest speed, and the route we have chosen is also the shortest, there is no way to go any faster.” Jiang Xu was anxious, and Liu Mufeng was naturally also anxious, so the route they had chosen was the shortest, and the driving speed was also the fastest.

“Oh!”Jiang Xu expressed understanding.

“These are some immortal herbs prepared for you to soak in medicinal baths. Your strength has just improved, and you can soak in medicinal baths for the remaining twenty years to stabilize your strength.” Liu Mufeng handed over a storage ring to the other party.

“En, I got it.” Nodding, Jiang Xu took the storage ring and checked it. “Have you prepared for Xiaoxiao and Uncle Bai? They should be leaving seclusion soon.”

“Don’t worry, I have prepared it for them.” Liu Mufeng said as he took out another storage ring for his wife.

“Okay, leave it with me. You should also quickly go into seclusion. Which room does that monk live in? Should I go over and pay my respects?”

“No need, Master is in seclusion, you won’t be able to see him temporarily.” Liu Mufeng smiled and said.

“En.” Upon hearing his lover say so, Jiang Xu expressed understanding.

Liu Mufeng originally wanted to stay with his wife for two more days, but the other party urged him so hard that he had to go to the bracelet dimension to seclude.
