Peerless Taoist

"But why is it me, an outsider? After ten thousand years, it is enough for you to choose a successor from the people of this Spiritual Mountain Continent." Lu Yu asked.    

The old monk's eyes were hollow, and his mouth kept muttering something, as if he was trapped in a nightmare and could not come back to his senses for a long time.    

Lu Yu stood in front of the old monk and quietly watched the changes in the old monk.    

The old monk's initial demeanor was dignified and sacred, as if he was a god that could not be sullied. However, after Lu Yu revealed his inner thoughts, he was like a frightened child, his eyes filled with nervousness and unease.    

"No, the Buddha won't lie to me …" The old monk muttered to himself, as if he was constantly persuading himself.    

"One inheritance, four prices. You have learned to kill, you have felt sin, your heart is filled with greed, and you will be lonely for the rest of your life. If this is really a Buddhist inheritance, then are you still considered a Buddhist?"    

Lu Yu asked again.    

This sentence was like a thunderclap that fiercely pierced the heart of the old monk.    

The old monk suddenly went crazy, and he roared angrily, "I am a monk, I am the Three Treasures Monk of the Buddhist Sect. No one can understand the Buddhist Dharma better than me. I once preached in my homeland, and no one could defeat me. How am I not a Buddhist?"    

"I understand the three thousand Buddhist scriptures, I have preached for seven days without sleep, I …"    

The old monk seemed to want to argue with Lu Yu. He wanted to recite the Buddhist scriptures, but when the words reached his mouth, he could not say anything.    

"If I were you, I would say, if, if..."    

The old monk muttered, but his mind was completely blank, and he could not remember anything.    

He used to be a powerful figure in the Buddhist Sect, an existence that countless Buddhist monks revered. However, he could not even remember a complete Buddhist scripture.    

"The reason why you chose me is because I am the only one qualified to inherit the Buddhist Sect's legacy," Lu Yu said. "There are many people in this Spirit Mountain Continent, but they are not even immortals. They can't even withstand the pressure of the bronze lamp, let alone accept the legacy."    

"However, I don't need this legacy."    

Lu Yu looked at the bronze lamp, and there was no longer a trace of attachment in his eyes.    

The old monk immediately became anxious. "This is the inheritance of the Buddha. Don't you want it at all?"    

"The inheritance of the Buddha is indeed tempting, but it is not."    

Lu Yu knew that he could not distinguish it now, so he pressed his hand on the old monk's forehead and injected his soul power into it.    

In an instant, a resplendent Buddhist hall appeared in front of Lu Yu and the old monk.    

It was dazzling and resplendent, and the images of Buddha were moving.    

There were countless golden Buddha statues standing in the hall, and they were majestic.    

The old monk felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Buddha statues.    

"Stand up." Lu Yu helped the old monk up and walked step by step towards the depths of the hall.    

In the depths of the temple, there was a golden and resplendent hall, overflowing with light and color, and the sound of chanting was clear and melodious.    

A towering Buddha was sitting quietly in the middle of the temple, sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower with a smile on his face and a kind expression.    

"Revered one!" The old monk once again shed tears, his entire body trembling.    

"Is he the Buddha?" Lu Yu asked.    

"That's right! That's right! I have seen his appearance in countless ancient books! The Buddha is like this!" The old monk hurriedly replied, his hands pressed together as he repeatedly kowtowed.    

"Then what about him now?"    

Lu Yu suddenly shouted, and a divine light appeared between his eyebrows, directly striking the Buddha's body.
