Chapter 200 It was destined; this child would be born in six months.
Chapter 200 It was destined; this child would be born in six months.
While saying this, Manjushri was very puzzled, thinking that he hadn't done anything out of line.
Guang Chengzi shook his head and replied:
"Junior brother."
"I don't know why Master summoned you."
"Hurry and come with me to Jade Void Palace!"
Manjushri nodded slightly and said:
"Thank you for sending the message, Senior Brother. I will go with you now."
Without further ado, the two immediately set off on their escape light towards Kunlun Mountain.
Not long after, Guang Chengzi brought Wenshu back to Kunlun.
At this moment, inside the Jade Void Palace.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable sat high on a cloud bed, surrounded by endless Jade Purity Celestial Light.
Guang Chengzi led Manjushri to the outside of Yuxu Palace and then stopped.
"Junior Brother Manjushri, please go inside!"
Manjushri nodded, straightened his clothes, and then stepped into the Jade Void Palace.
Soon, the person arrived inside the hall.
Upon seeing the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Manjushri immediately bowed deeply.
"Disciple Manjushri greets Master."
"Um."
Yuanshi Tianzun gave a soft hum, slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Manjushri.
"Manjushri, you've come."
Manjushri nodded, pursed his lips slightly, and then asked directly:
"I wonder why Master has summoned me here?"
Yuanshi Tianzun didn't hide anything and said directly:
"I have recently observed celestial phenomena and deduced the causes and effects, and have seen the stars shifting and the fortunes changing."
"Manjushri, in your destiny, a disciple destined to inherit your lineage will descend."
As Yuanshi spoke, Manjushri's body trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Despite his profound spiritual attainments, he has never taken on any disciples.
Just as Manjushri was surprised, the Primordial Celestial Venerable continued:
"This child is blessed with great fortune and possesses extraordinary character."
"He is one of the key figures in our Chan Sect's response to the next great calamity."
"Their affiliation is related to the rise and fall of the religious order and should not be taken lightly."
When Manjushri heard what the Primordial Celestial Venerable said, he was just surprised.
But hearing these words again now shocked Manjushri.
"What?"
Manjushri cried out in surprise, his face full of astonishment.
He never expected that the disciple he had not yet accepted into his tutelage would possess such great fortune and be a key figure in the great calamity.
Yuanshi Tianzun did not pay attention to Manjushri's shock.
After a long while, Manjushri finally suppressed his excitement and respectfully asked:
"May I ask, Master, where is my destined disciple now?"
"How should this disciple find him?"
Yuanshi Tianzun did not rush to answer. His gaze sharpened, piercing through endless space, and looked towards Chentang Pass.
After a brief look around, he finally spoke:
"This child is currently in the womb and will be born into the family of Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, and his wife."
"This child will be born in six months."
"At that time, you will need to personally go to Chentang Pass, take him under your wing, and teach him with utmost care!"
Upon hearing this, Manjushri quickly nodded and bowed, saying:
"Your disciple obeys!"
While saying this, Manjushri kept Li Jing and his wife from Chentang Pass firmly in his heart.
At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, changed the subject, and said with a hint of admonition:
"Remember, this child is of utmost importance. The matter of accepting him as a disciple must not be taken lightly, and the details must not be easily revealed to outsiders."
Upon hearing this, Manjushri felt a chill run down his spine and solemnly kowtowed to the Primordial Heavenly Lord, saying:
"Disciple understands! I will certainly follow Master's instructions, guide this child onto the right path, and bring glory to our family!"
"Go."
Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand.
"This disciple takes his leave."
Manjushri bowed again, then bowed and left the main hall.
On the surface, he appears calm, but in his heart, there are actually turbulent waves.
"I never expected to have such a disciple under my tutelage. To be specifically mentioned by my master, he must be extraordinary!"
Manjushri said quietly.
Deep down, he had already begun to think about going to Chentang Pass to take on disciples six months later.
As he pondered this, Manjushri let out a long sigh of relief.
He was feeling uneasy on his way to Kunlun.
He feared that he had done something to displease the Primordial Celestial Venerable, which was why he was summoned to an audience and punished.
Who would have thought that the reason Yuanshi Tianzun summoned him was to discuss the matter of taking on a disciple.
Upon hearing this, Manjushri was naturally pleased to be able to take on a key figure from this great eon as his disciple.
Meanwhile, outside the Jade Void Palace.
Guang Chengzi did not rush to leave, but waited for Manjushri to come out.
He was also very curious.
Why did Yuanshi Tianzun summon Manjushri at this time?
Just as Guang Chengzi was lost in thought, Manjushri had already left the Jade Void Palace.
Upon seeing Manjushri emerge, Guang Chengzi's eyes lit up, and he quickly went to greet him.
Before Manjushri could say anything, he had already asked:
"Brother Manjushri, what is the purpose of Master's private audience?"
When Guang Chengzi asked, Manjushri smiled faintly and replied:
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. It's nothing serious."
"My master said that I am destined to have a master-disciple relationship, and told me to prepare myself."
Manjushri did not go into too much detail, speaking somewhat vaguely.
After all, the Celestial Lord of the Beginning had just instructed him not to publicize this lightly.
Seeing that Manjushri's words were vague, Guang Chengzi did not press for details, but smiled and said:
"I see, congratulations, junior brother!"
"It seems that soon, the third generation of disciples of my Chan Sect will have another outstanding talent."
"Junior Brother Yu Ding's disciple Yang Jian is already an exceptionally talented individual, ranking among the top in the three generations of the Jie Sect."
"I imagine that you, my junior brother, are no ordinary disciple."
Manjushri smiled faintly at what Guangchengzi said, but deep down he was very much looking forward to his future disciple.
……
Meanwhile, inside the Li residence at Chentang Pass.
Chen Changsheng led Li Jing and his wife to a corner deep within the mansion.
This corner looks quite ordinary, with just a few green bamboos planted there.
Chen Changsheng looked towards that corner. According to the system's treasure map, the level-two treasure chest was buried there.
Upon seeing this, Li Jing and his wife were both surprised and hesitant, and they began to have doubts in their hearts.
Thinking that this was just an ordinary courtyard, how could there be any treasure buried here?
"Gentlemen, the treasure is buried in that corner."
Chen Changsheng said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Jing and his wife smiled, unsure of what to say.
After all, in their view, there was no way that any treasure could be buried in this place.
Chen Changsheng didn't care about this. With a thought, he directly retrieved the black iron shovel.
Upon seeing this, Li Jing and his wife's expressions became even stranger.
You could tell that the shovel Chen Changsheng took out was nothing special; it looked just like ordinary iron.
"What's going on?"
"Master Chen, you wouldn't be using mortal items to dig for treasure here, would you?"
Li Jing secretly wondered, feeling that something was off about Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng didn't offer much explanation for the two's bewilderment and confusion.
He had encountered situations like this more than once or twice before; it was nothing new to him.
Then, Chen Changsheng went straight to the corner and started digging with a shovel.
