“The Great Dharma Monk was an eminent monk who had a great understanding in Buddhism. He was proficient in pharmacology and had a kind soul. He had been a monk that protected the nation in the past dynasties. After that, he even represented the nation and travelled to the West to spread the teachings of Buddhism and to cure illnesses. He even managed to cure a few pandemics, saving tens of thousands of lives. However, he was involved in some conflict of power in the later years. He offended some influential people and his temple was burnt down. He was banished from the court and anything that was linked to him was considered as a taboo. Only then, he was slowly forgotten by the world.”
Chu Feng nodded his head; this story was similar to those legends in the West in many ways.
“How did you come to know all these?”
The disciple scratched his head awkwardly. “I’ve read these stories from my master’s library. I could not stand to endure the difficult training, so I would always clean up the library as an excuse to cut some slack. Hehe, I discovered these by accident.”
Murong Cang’s face blushed instantly and he was feeling awkward.
He was a practitioner of the martial arts and he had inherited countless, valuable books from his ancestors. However, he only laid those books on the shelves in the library just so he could put on a front. He had only gone to the library a few times in a year and did not expect his disciple who had been slacking off to steal his thunder.
“Well, isn’t this a fortuitous accident?” Chu Feng chuckled and continued, “Can you gather all the information there is regarding this Great Dharma Monk within these few days and let me see them?”
Murong Cang quickly answered, “No problem, I will prepare them right away and I will get back to you in two days’ time.”
“Sorry for the trouble.”
Chu Feng nodded and he felt a sense of relief; there was a glimmer of hope after all.
There could finally be an antidote for the deadly Mandraka poison that was spreading in his body.
After the banquet ended, Ma Sanyuan, Murong Cang and the rest of the gang leaders saw Chu Feng off before Chu Feng headed back home.
It was already 8:30 p.m. and Chu Feng felt guilty, wondering if his daughter had a good meal. At that moment, he heard a pleasant and clear voice of a girl coming from the inside of his house. Chu Feng stopped in his tracks and was stunned for a brief moment.
Why is this girl’s voice so familiar?
