Peerless Taoist

The pregnant woman behind him reached out her hand to grab the corner of Hu Tieniu's clothes and frowned slightly.    

She was Hu Tieniu's wife. When the natural disaster descended, the bottom of the mountain had already become an ocean. She did not want her husband to be in danger.    

Hu Tieniu said loudly, "Don't worry, just stay here and take care of your baby. I grew up in this mountain, and I am very familiar with this place. I can walk back with my eyes closed. It's fine."    

He stood up and was about to go forward, but was stopped by Lu Yu.    

"Little brother... Master, why are you here?" Hu Tieniu immediately recognized Lu Yu and was shocked.    

"I'm trapped here by the heavy rain," Lu Yu said indifferently. "The weather outside is too bad. If you force yourself to go down the mountain, you might meet with misfortune. I advise you not to go over."    

"But..." Hu Tieniu was still stubborn.    

"Think about your unborn child. The child is innocent. If he loses his father before he is born, no one would want to see that," Lu Yu said.    

Suddenly, Lu Yu sensed something and turned around. "Moreover, he has already returned."    

When everyone heard Lu Yu's words, they all looked towards the door.    

In the heavy rain, a hunched figure appeared outside the broken temple.    

The heavy rain seemed to be able to knock that thin body down at any time, but he still stood firmly on the ground.    

Chen An burst into tears. How could he have experienced such a thing at such a young age? Just now, when he was standing beside Lu Yu and listening to Lu Yu's explanation of the dangers, he had already guessed that the old monk would be in danger.    

Now that he had seen the old monk return alive, Chen An's emotions surged. He finally could not control his emotions and ran to the old monk's embrace and cried.    

"Master..." Chen Ling sat on the chair and cried out anxiously.    

The little girl trembled as she used her walking stick to move forward. Lu Yu hurriedly supported her when he saw this. It was raining outside the door, so it was not good for her to go out.    

"Alright, it's fine now. It's fine now."    

The old man was drenched by the rain. His originally thin body became even colder, as if he was a hard rock.    

Chen An kept crying. When he heard the old man's bad news, an unprecedented fear enveloped his heart, causing him to hold Lu Yu tightly, unable to let go.    

A cry of surprise came from the hall.    

It turned out that there were two children behind the old man. They were wearing bamboo hats and raincoats, which were not suitable for them. Clearly, the old man had given these things to the children.    

When the two children saw their children, they could not help but cry with joy. They ran to their children and hugged them tightly, unable to speak.    

The flood came too suddenly. No one expected the flood to be so ferocious, and no one would have thought that the old man would actually save the child.    

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"    

The child’s parents knelt in front of the old monk and kept kowtowing.    

It was truly an unprecedented kindness. Everyone present stood up and knelt down to the old monk. They said thankful words, and the ordinary old man in front of them had become their parent.    

Lu Yu stood in the crowd and suddenly felt a trace of a sense of faith.    

He was most familiar with this kind of aura. Gods ate the aura of faith and devoured incense to strengthen themselves.    

However, this kind of aura did not belong to the God Tao. It was more like a way of feeding the eagle and repaying the gratitude.    

In Lu Yu's eyes, a dim halo had appeared behind the old monk's head.    

"What is Buddhism…"    

Lu Yu muttered to himself, as if at this moment, he was at a loss.    

Was it the solemn and dignified golden figure in the bronze lamp that was Buddha?    

Or was it this ordinary old man in front of him that was Buddha?    

Lu Yu observed silently. He watched the old monk's every move as if he was the most pious apprentice, observing his Master's every move.    

The old monk helped everyone up and dragged his tired body to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.    

He was too tired and too old. He was already old and had gone through hardships. Finally, he could not hold on any longer.    

Everyone around him was silent. They silently supported the old man and sent him to the dry straw mat. Someone found a thick robe for the old man and draped it over his body.    

The sound of snoring came. No one felt it was ear-piercing. They stood silently beside the old monk and began to pray.    

Lu Yu looked at the dust-covered Buddha statues. No one worshipped them. Instead, the old monk was surrounded by people.    

"What is Buddhism?" Lu Yu muttered to himself.    

He left the hall silently and returned to his house. Once again, he immersed himself in the land of inheritance of Buddhism.    

The Buddhist light enveloped his line of sight once again. The land of inheritance of Buddhism immediately appeared in front of him. It was still endless.    

One by one, golden Buddha statues appeared in front of Lu Yu. The vast pressure on his body increased. The status of the Buddha statues became higher and higher. Eighteen Titans, ten great disciples, four great kings, four great heavenly kings, eight Bodhisattvas...    

Countless experts poured all their knowledge into Lu Yu's soul.    

In an instant, Lu Yu's body had an indescribable aura. The Buddha statues stood in the void, as if the heaven and earth were revolving around them. Their magic power was heavenly and their divine might was tyrannical.    

They were kind and amiable, and they were also furious.    

Buddha had a thousand faces. This was what it meant.    

Lu Yu was well aware that the more powerful the Buddhist experts were, the more powerful they would become.    

Their strength had long surpassed the threshold of the Earth Realm, and they were equivalent to the Golden Immortals of the Immortal Realm.    

Lu Yu could clearly sense that his own strength was increasing by leaps and bounds as he assimilated these inheritances into his body.    

When he opened his eyes again, the world was still the same. The sun and moon were still the same, and what he had just experienced was just an illusion.    

"I have taken another step towards the sixth level of the Earth Realm."    

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with astonishment. He had just broken through to the fifth level.    

According to Bo Xun's memories, it was extremely difficult to break through to each level of the universe. Many people would be stuck in the same realm for decades.    

With his cultivation speed, he could be considered a top existence even if he was placed in the outer heaven.    

However, Lu Yu was not very happy. His state of mind was still as calm as water. If it wasn't for these fortuitous encounters, he would definitely not have been able to reach his current level.    

Outside the door, the rainstorm was still ongoing.    

A quarrel came from outside the Buddhist hall.    

Lu Yu frowned. He pushed open the door and the quarrel became clearer.
