He tasted the food and figured that the taste wasn't as bad.
As soon as the meal was finished, the monks cleaned and kept the tableware. Fade initially thought that they were supposed to head back to the cave rooms right after. However, he decided to stay when nobody made a move.
Just as he was looking around, he suddenly heard a voice of a surprised girl. "Fade, how did you get in?" The voice sounded.
He turned his head and noticed a bald woman appear in front of him. He was surprised and said, "You are..."
"Brother Chen, it's me, Heidey!" The girl spoke again.
Fade fixed his eyes to the girl in front of him. Only then did he realize that this girl really was Heidey. It was just because she was previously very delicate and beautiful. Instead, she was now without make- up and was completely bald. No wonder he could hardly recognize her.
At this moment, Gorvyn, who was bald, came over as well. Only then did Fade finally confirm that it really was them.
"Heidey, Gorvyn, what are you guys..." He looked at the two in surprise.
She was a little embarrassed. Gorvyn touched his head and said with a proud look, "We've chosen to worship Normanhan Dahnbar as our master. Now, we're the disciples of Normanhan."
Upon hearing this, Fade couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. "You've become disciples? What's going on here? Could Normanhan Dahnbar be the Dharma-raja? This..."
Gorvyn curled his lips and said, "The Dharma-raja is a layman term. We're now the disciples of the Dharma- raja. We should call this place 'Nuon Han'."
Heidey explained to Fade and said, "Brother Chen, when we first came in, we initially thought of just asking for the herbs. However, the conditions and circumstances here were more than what we expected."
"When we first entered, each of us got a bodyrefining pill. As soon as we ate it, our bodies became much stronger. Furthermore, they said that if we agree to worship Dharma Dahnbar as our master and become the disciples of Dharmaraja, we could get baptised and even get accepted as Tulku Kahmul's disciples. As soon as we became Tulku's disciples, they gave us plenty of precious herbs," she added.
Gorvyn stood by the side and spoke with excitement, "We initially wanted to refine our physique when we first came to seek for herbs and get accepted as the disciple of an Earth level clan. However, Hotogtu Kahmul is of the Heaven Level. Being able to get accepted as a disciple of a master of the Heaven Level is way higher than our initial goal!"
"This..." Fade felt a little surprised and even more in doubt.
Normahan, also known as Dharma-raja, should be at least a Earth Level martial artist, and as for Hotogtu, according to the explanation by the people outside, the two legendary Tulkus were the two highest level Tulku who ever existed.
One was a high levelled Tulku while the other was a Heaven Level martial artist. Being accepted as a disciple just by agreeing to worship the master and getting baptised just seemed too strange!
Moreover, these types of Martial Arts Masters were generally more strict when it came to accepting disciples than any other religious masters. There was always a standard requirement when it came to the aspects of belief and moral behavior.
As of now, Heidey and Gorvyn had easily become the disciples of Tulku just by shaving their heads and receiving a baptism from Dharma Dahnbar, or whatever his name was. It couldn't be this simple.
"Could this Tulku Kahmul have some sort of other purpose?" Fade immediately felt some sort of suspicion towards this situation as he thought to himself.
At that moment, he thought of something and asked, "Where's Schultz? Didn't he come in with you?"
Upon hearing this, Heidey and Gorvyn's eyebrows furrowed. "Schultz went on his separate way after coming in with us, so we don't really know where he went either," they explained.
Just as Fade was thinking about what had happened, the scene suddenly became quiet while the sounds of chanting sutras slowly rang in.
He looked around and realized that a monk dressed in a red robe was sitting cross legged on top of a stone. The monk started to mouth the chanting of sutras.
The others followed suit with their legs crossed, and they began to recite as well. Everyone rushed to recite the chant as well in all sincerity, especially those with shaved heads.
