Spirit of the Bodhi Tree

Under the Bodhi Tree, a young novice monk who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a simple gray-white robe and with a shaved head, slowly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed while sitting cross-legged, after sensing the arrival of the group vying for the Bodhi Seeds and Bodhi Heart.

His eyes were as clear as a spring, without the slightest impurity, giving the impression of looking at a blank sheet of paper.

Furthermore, he didn't exude any aura whatsoever, as if he were just an Ordinary.

But in such a place, would Ordinary even exist?

This is a principle that even a child could easily understand.

"Gentlemen, this humble monk has been waiting here for quite some time."

At this moment, the young novice monk looked around at everyone and then spoke with a smile.

Upon seeing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with strange expressions.

After a while, someone finally spoke up, "Who are you? How did you manage to bypass the sight of so many of us and appear under the Bodhi Ancient Tree?"

"Buddha!"

However, before the young novice could answer, someone else spoke first.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Immediately, everyone's attention turned to the person who had just spoken.

And wasn't it Xiao Yan who uttered the word "Buddha"?

At this moment, the young novice monk also turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan.

There is no "Buddha" in the Dou Qi Continent, so when Xiao Yan uttered the word "Buddha," everyone around him looked puzzled, while the little novice monk's eyes lit up even more!

"Does this benefactor know the Buddha?"

The young novice seemed somewhat excited at this moment.

However, after a moment of silence, Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "I know there is a Buddha, but I don't understand the Buddha!"

Xiao Yan spoke very sincerely.

After all, he didn't believe in Buddhism in his previous life!

However, when he saw the young novice monk, he subconsciously uttered the word "Buddha".

"It's alright. Since you know about Buddha, you are clearly someone with whom I have a karmic connection! Since you are someone with a karmic connection, then I will bestow upon you a great fortune!"

The young novice was not disappointed by Xiao Yan's words. Instead, he reached out and gently waved his hand at Xiao Yan.

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, a green light emanated from Xiao Yan's body.

"Call out"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan was lifted into the air uncontrollably.

Xiao Yan was also greatly alarmed by this unexpected turn of events.

"Xiao Yan!"

"Xiao Yan!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out from Xiao Yan's group of beauties and friends.

Then, without any resistance, Xiao Yan was thrown into the Bodhi Ancient Tree behind him by the little novice monk.

"Pop~"

A ripple appeared on the surface of the Bodhi Ancient Tree trunk, and then Xiao Yan disappeared into it.

"Esteemed benefactors, please do not be anxious. As I said, that benefactor named Xiao Yan has a karmic connection with me, so I am merely bestowing upon him a great fortune. Once he has received it, he will naturally emerge."

The young novice monk made a Buddha's hand gesture while smiling and speaking.

"This..."

Upon hearing what the young novice monk said, Medusa, Xiao Ding, and the others were all somewhat flustered.

But this young novice monk was far too mysterious and unpredictable, so they had no choice but to believe him.

Meanwhile, the others also vaguely guessed that the young novice monk in front of them was probably related to the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

Therefore, everyone looked at the young novice with deep apprehension.

After all, given the move the opponent had just displayed, no one present dared to say they had the slightest power to resist.

Immediately, the young novice ignored Medusa and the others and instead looked around at everyone once more.

"Gentlemen, I know why you have come! However, if you wish to obtain Bodhi Seeds and Bodhi Heart, you must pass my test; otherwise, I am powerless to help you."

The young novice continued speaking.

"To undergo your test? Who are you? What right do you have to test us?"

Some people disagreed with this.

The young novice monk was not angry; he still had a smile on his face.

"This humble monk is the representative of the Bodhi Ancient Tree!"

The young novice monk said so.

"What a joke! The Bodhi Ancient Tree has a proxy? Why have I never heard of that?"

Clearly, most people don't believe this.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree appears in the world only once every thousand years, as recorded in ancient texts.

However, those ancient texts never recorded any representative of the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

If it weren't for the fact that this young novice monk was so mysterious and unpredictable, they probably would have already tried to force their way through!

"Because, from this moment on, the Bodhi Ancient Tree finally has a representative!"

The young novice continued to explain patiently.

His face showed no sign of anxiety from beginning to end, and his eyes were calm and reassuring.

Then, everyone fell silent again.

The young novice monk didn't urge him, and just waited quietly.

"Okay, I accept the test!"

Finally, after who knows how much time had passed, someone couldn't stand there like an idiot any longer.

They want to undergo trials, pass the trials, and then obtain Bodhi Seed, or even Bodhi Heart!

Once someone takes the lead, others naturally won't choose to fall behind.

Ultimately, thanks to the deterrent effect of the young novice monk throwing Xiao Yan into the Bodhi Ancient Tree at the beginning, no one acted recklessly, and they all obediently chose to accept the test proposed by the young novice monk.

The young novice was not surprised to see this.

Then, the young novice pointed out with a finger in the Void.

"Buzz~"

A ray of green light bloomed.

Everyone was enveloped in a green halo without any power to resist.

When they looked around again, everyone had their eyes closed, as if they were fast asleep.

Upon seeing this, the young novice smiled, then his figure vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, inside the Bodhi Ancient Tree, after being thrown in, Xiao Yan wandered around in a space radiating a misty green light.

As he wandered around, he came to the foot of that miniature Bodhi Ancient Tree, which was only a dozen feet tall.

"Is this... the interior space of the Bodhi Ancient Tree?"

Xiao Yan was a little confused, not knowing who that little novice monk was, or why he had been thrown into the inner space of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Unable to figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, Xiao Yan simply sat down to meditate under the miniature Bodhi Ancient Tree.

However, what Xiao Yan didn't know was that in a corner of this space, two people were quietly watching him.

"Xiao Lin, is he your little grandson? Indeed, he seems quite intelligent!"

The young novice monk spoke to Xiao Lin beside him.

"That's right, my grandson, of course he's wise! But speaking of which, Bodhi Ancient Tree, why did you create such an avatar?"

Xiao Lin first affirmed the little novice's words, then looked at the little novice beside him with a strange and uneasy expression.

Yes, this young novice monk is the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

Or rather, it is part of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, that is, the manifestation of the Spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

To be honest, Xiao Lin was quite startled when the other party first appeared in front of him.
