EBE Chapter 189 Rocky
Chapter 189 Rocky
Huineng had been practicing in Bailin Temple for three years.
One day, he was surprised to find that his height had quietly increased to 185cm. Recalling the height of 180cm measured when he first entered the temple, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
Then, he stepped onto the scale again, and his weight was shown as 120kg, a number that shocked him even more.
Huineng felt that he had a well-proportioned body. Looking around, he found that there were many monks with similar body shapes as him in Bailin Temple, but their weight mostly hovered between 80kg and 90kg.
In comparison, Huineng seemed to be about a quarter heavier, which puzzled him.
In order to solve his doubts, Huineng decided to seek advice from the temple's top master, Lie Haiwang.
In response to Huineng's doubts, King Liehai told him frankly that he weighed 103kg and was 176cm tall, which was quite similar to Huineng's height and weight ratio.
Retsukai further explained that Huineng's significant weight gain while maintaining stable body proportions was actually the inevitable result of his unremitting practice of the "Bakuryu Gentaijutsu".
For many years, Huineng stood under the waterfall day after day, letting the rapids wash over him. This unusual training method made his muscle density far beyond that of ordinary people.
King Liehai comforted Huineng, saying that this was normal on the path of spiritual practice and there was no need to worry. Instead, it was solid evidence that his physical strength was increasing.
Huineng felt relieved and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by King Liehai from behind.
Huineng was slightly surprised, so he walked back and asked, "Sea King, is there anything else?"
King Lie Hai smiled and said, “Our Bailin Temple’s top leaders have decided to set up a Bailin Temple branch in Tokyo, Japan, and plan to select a group of martial monks and a group of Zen disciples through tests to go there.
If you can come out on top in the test, the abbot will give you a special reward."
After Huineng heard this, he was not too surprised at first, as he had never had any interest in such matters.
But the words "special reward" made his eyes light up.
He thought to himself, “What comes out of the abbot’s hands must be a rare item.
I still want to fight for this first place."
Three days later, Bailin Temple was still as usual, with a large number of worshippers and tourists coming and going.
Looking out from the mountain gate, you can see a winding stone staircase with a constant stream of people coming and going.
Men, women, young and old, dressed differently, all have the same wish - to come here to pray for blessings and make wishes.
Their faces were filled with anticipation and awe, and although their steps were hurried, they appeared to be in an orderly manner.
These people seemed to be infected by the unique atmosphere of Bailin Temple. They unconsciously slowed down their pace and immersed themselves in the tranquility and solemnity.
The main hall was crowded and bustling.
The believers either kneeled or stood, surrounding the Buddha statue, chanting scriptures and praying devoutly.
Their voices were filled with faith and awe for Buddhism.
The flickering candlelight and glittering golden light in the hall, interweaving with the prayers of the believers, create an indescribable sacred atmosphere.
Tourists were also deeply attracted by this atmosphere. They stopped to listen and felt the shock from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, Huineng happened to pass by the threshold of the Main Hall.
A little boy, about two years old, was playing alone at the entrance of the hall.
His little face was pressed against the glass of the donation box, and his little hands were excitedly counting the money inside.
"One dollar, two dollars, wow!
There are also a lot of hundred-dollar bills, so many, so beautiful! "
The little boy muttered to himself and innocently left small saliva marks on the glass.
This scene happened to fall into Huineng's eyes. His heart tightened and he thought to himself: "This child must have been separated from his parents. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a sin?"
Then, Huineng walked forward gently, carefully picked up the little boy from the merit box, and asked him to turn around.
The moment the little boy turned around, Huineng was shocked.
This child actually looks surprisingly similar to himself, he could almost be said to be a smaller version of him, with a similarity of at least 90%.
At this moment, not only Huineng was stunned, but the little boy also widened his eyes, as if he saw himself in the mirror.
The two people's eyes met, one big and one small, a pair of big eyes facing a pair of round small eyes, and even their blinking movements were surprisingly synchronized.
Huineng's thoughts went blank in an instant. He wanted to chant the Buddha's name to calm himself, but unexpectedly, the four words "Wulian Tianzun!" came out of his mouth involuntarily.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Countless pairs of curious and surprised eyes suddenly appeared around.
Huineng suddenly felt unprecedentedly embarrassed. He even chanted the wrong Buddhist name. At this moment, he really wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
Just when Huineng's mind was in a mess, he felt a warm, soft and moist touch on his big bald head.
This feeling was so wonderful that Huineng even enjoyed it inexplicably.
When Huineng came back to his senses from his trance, he found that the little boy in front of him was stroking his bald head with his saliva-stained little hands.
“Hehehe!
Tell me quickly, are you the black bear spirit in disguise?
Why do you look exactly like me? Are you here to steal the robes?"
Faced with the little boy's strange questions, Huineng didn't know how to answer for a moment and just stared at the little boy blankly.
At this time, the little boy's hands began to move down to pinch Huineng's nose. He rubbed Huineng's nose hard with his little hands until Huineng's nose turned red, and then the little boy stopped.
The little boy laughed, "Hahaha!" "Your nose is so red!"
After being "tortured" by the little boy, Huineng finally regained his sanity.
He gently asked the boy who looked exactly like him, "Little boy, where are your father and mother?
where are they?"
When the little boy saw the big bald man who looked like him asking him a question, he blinked and thought for a while.
She said in a baby voice: “I have never seen my father.
My mother told me that my father went to a very far place and he would come back when I grow up.
The little boy's words made Huineng feel inexplicably sad, and a feeling of sympathy arose in his heart.
Huineng then asked, "What about your mother?
Where did she go? "
When the little boy heard the bald man asking about his mother, his little head began to turn left and right, and his watery eyes looked around, as if looking for his mother.
At this moment, the little boy's face suddenly changed, and he seemed to feel deeply frightened, "My mother...
She was here just now, how come she is gone now!
Will she not want me anymore? I’m so scared! ”
As he spoke, the little boy's eyes became moist and tears could not stop falling, "I want my mother! Wuuwu..."
When Huineng saw the little boy crying out of fear, he immediately showed what he thought was the most gentle smile and comforted him softly, "Little boy, don't cry. Tell uncle what your name is.
Then uncle will take you to find your mother now, okay? "
When the little boy heard that the big bald uncle in front of him wanted to help him find his mother, he immediately stopped crying and showed strength and cuteness beyond his age.
He choked and replied, “My…my name is Rocky.
Uncle Big Bald, you...you take me to find my mother!"
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of high heels hitting the granite floor behind Huineng.
"Click, click, click..."
