Chapter 365 The Heart Sutra of Being So Close Yet So Far
The gray-robed monk moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the exit of Liusha Village, about to enter the boundless desert.
Fortunately, Lin Fei was also fast on his feet. Just as the gray-robed monk was about to leave Liusha Village, he had already caught up to him by more than ten meters.
"Master, please wait!" Lin Fei called out loudly, "I have something I wish to ask you. Please wait a moment!"
The gray-robed monk in front seemed not to have heard Lin Fei's words at all. He didn't stop at all and continued walking forward. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the exit of Liushaji and entered the desert.
"What's going on with this monk?" Lin Fei was also very puzzled. It was impossible for the monk not to hear his shouts. Even if it were a stranger calling out, he would definitely stop and take a look, let alone Lin Fei, the dignified ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty. How could the other party be so disrespectful?
Lin Fei couldn't guess what the monk was thinking, but since he had the aura of the Reincarnation Stone Tablet on him, Lin Fei had no choice but to chase after him first.
……
Beyond Liusha Village lies the vast desert, a sea of yellow sand stretching for miles. Finding someone in this desert is like searching for a needle in a haystack—extremely difficult. Lin Fei dared not lose sight of the monk, fearing that if he did, he would never find him again.
The gray-robed monk seemed rather strange. He wasn't walking very fast, and given Lin Fei's speed and pace, he should have caught up with him long ago.
However, in reality, no matter how fast Lin Fei quickened his pace, he could only fall a dozen meters behind the gray-robed monk, unable to get any closer.
The gray-robed monk seemed completely unaware that someone was behind him, and continued walking forward at a leisurely pace.
The two walked one after the other through the vast yellow sand, and in the blink of an eye, they had already covered a distance of over a hundred miles.
As Lin Fei walked, he realized that something was wrong. Although the distance between him and the gray-robed monk was not far, it felt as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.
Not only could he not catch up with the gray-robed monk, but even the figure in front of him gave Lin Fei an unreal feeling, as if the two of them were separated by thousands of miles.
"The Heart Sutra of the World Within Reach!" Lin Fei suddenly thought of a martial art, which was also the signature martial art of Bodhi Square Inch Temple - the Heart Sutra of the World Within Reach.
The ends of the earth are near, yet so near. This Bodhi Square Temple, known as the Mind School among the three major schools of Buddhism, is not without reason.
Its name comes from its signature martial art, the Heart Sutra of "Heart Sutra of Heaven's Edge".
The Bodhi Square Inch Temple has always been shrouded in mystery; no one knows its exact location. Legend has it that if you are truly devoted to Buddhism, the Bodhi Square Inch Temple will appear before you at any time; but if you have no faith in Buddhism, you may search for it your whole life and still not find it. Even more remarkably, it is said that those who have visited the Bodhi Square Inch Temple, once they leave its gates, turn back to look for it, but can no longer find the temple.
The monks of Bodhi Square Inch Temple rarely engage in combat, and few know the true power of the martial arts of the Buddhist Mind Sect. However, when it comes to mystery, the Bodhi Square Inch Temple's "Heart Sutra of the World at a Glance" is arguably the most mysterious in Buddhism.
At this moment, Lin Fei had already sensed the terrifying power of the Heart Sect's martial arts. Perhaps direct combat was not the Heart Sect's forte. However, the "Close at Hand, Distant at Afar" Heart Sutra, though seemingly close at hand, felt as if it were a world away. This power was truly extraordinary.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Lin Fei slowed down. The distance between him and the gray-robed monk didn't increase; it remained at around ten meters. The spatial distance between them seemed to have become constant. Whether Lin Fei was fast or slow, whether he traveled a thousand miles a day or strolled leisurely, he couldn't change the distance between them.
"The power of space?" Lin Fei seemed to understand something. What kind of martial art was this Heart Sect's "Close at Hand, Distant at Sea Heart Sutra"?
By harnessing the power of space, one can maintain a constant distance between oneself and the target. This distance can be close or far, entirely at the user's discretion. If the user wishes, it is within reach. If the user does not wish, it is at the ends of the earth.
This is what they mean by "so close yet so far." The Buddhist Mind Sect's martial arts truly have their own unique aspects.
"Our karmic ties have severed, benefactor. Why must you follow me so persistently?" At this moment, the gray-robed monk walking in front finally spoke. Being followed by Lin Fei like this was not a solution, so he said to Lin Fei, "This 'Heart Sutra of the World Within Reach' is a secret martial art of our temple. Even with your cultivation, benefactor, you cannot cross this chasm. Please return!"
This monk carries the aura of the Reincarnation Stone Tablet. Even if he isn't the holder of the Reincarnation Stone Tablet, he must have come into contact with it at some point. How could Lin Fei give up just because of one sentence from him?
"The Heart Sect's martial arts are indeed incredibly wondrous!" Lin Fei chuckled, already drawing the Xuanyuan Sword and holding it in his hand. "However, this spatial power might not be able to hold me back!"
As he spoke, a great light shone from the Xuanyuan Sword: "Heavenly Sword of Benevolence, Reversing Life and Death!"
The "Heart Sutra of the Heart Sect of Buddhism," which speaks of being able to alter the spatial distance between oneself and another, uses one's own power. And the Heavenly Dao Benevolent Sword is a miraculous martial art that reverses life and death, restoring the true nature of things!
At this moment, Lin Fei wanted to use the Benevolent Sword, a secret technique passed down by the Hidden Sword Elder, to restore the spatial distance between the two people that had been altered by the gray-robed monk.
"Ding!"
"The Benevolent Sword's special attribute—Heavenly Benevolent Sword, triggered by the reversal of life and death: The Benevolent Sword, one of the Three Immortal Swords, possesses immense power to reverse life and death, and to invert yin and yang. Each time it is used, the host can actively choose the sword of life or death. The sword of death can directly kill enemies whose cultivation level is two realms lower than the host's. Those whose cultivation level does not exceed the host's own will suffer severe damage that is irreversible and irreparable. The sword of life can restore those whose cultivation level does not exceed the host's own. The probability of restoration depends on the level of the specific item being restored!"
……
As the system notification sounded, a powerful sword light erupted from the Xuanyuan Sword. Simultaneously, the surrounding space emitted a series of cracking sounds, as if something unseen and invisible was being severed by the Xuanyuan Sword's light.
The Benevolent Sword is a sword that can reverse life and death, and invert yin and yang, restoring and repairing the original state of all things in the world. The surrounding space was also altered by the gray-robed monk using the Heart Sutra of "The World Within Reach," and naturally falls within the Benevolent Sword's range of influence.
The gray-robed monk sensed the power of the Xuanyuan Sword's light, and the space between himself and Lin Fei, which had been altered, was gradually shattering and returning to its original state. He couldn't help but change his expression: "Reversing life and death, inverting yin and yang, what powerful sword energy! Is this the Three Immortal Swords?"
