The Song father and son listened.
No wonder.
No wonder Quinn Ye looked like a Buddha manifesting his spirit that day.
It turns out he is the thorough, genuine Holy Son!
Now, the reverence for Quinn in the Song father and son's hearts deepened by another layer.
They were even more determined to gallop freely on the path toward Buddha.
"Dad, since we are devoted to Buddha, why don't we just shave our heads (tonsure) directly?"
Drake Song suddenly said, his eyes lighting up.
Xander Song was stunned, then suddenly realized.
Right!
Previously, there were no temples in the Heavenly Martial Empire, so even if the father and son wanted to become monks, they couldn't find a way. They could only spontaneously eat vegetarian food, chant Buddha's name, perform Buddhist rituals, and do good deeds.
But now it was good.
People from the West Realm Buddhism had come.
And they were building temples here. Didn't this give the father and son a perfect opportunity to devote themselves to Buddhism?
Seize the opportunity.
Change life.
It is right before our eyes!
The father and son immediately found Monk Hugo.
"Master Hugo, we father and son want to become monks!"
The father and son stood in front of Hugo, speaking excitedly.
Those who didn't know would think becoming a monk was some joyous event.
Hugo was stunned, a bit surprised.
"Two benefactors, do you really want to become monks?"
"Really! We father and son are devoted to Buddha. Now that you are here, we definitely want to become monks!"
"Correct. Only by becoming monks can we realize the value of our lives."
"We beg Master Hugo to fulfill our wish!"
"As long as we can become monks, even if we scatter all our family wealth, we will have no regrets!"
The Song father and son's will was incredibly firm; they were just short of shaving their own heads.
Hugo was very touched.
He couldn't help but bow toward Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
"As expected of the place the Holy Son is willing to stay. It turns out the Buddhist atmosphere here is so strong that even the head of such a big family is willing to enter my Buddhism!"
"Master, please fulfill our wish!"
Xander Song pleaded.
Hugo nodded.
"Since you two are so determined and devoted to Buddha, Buddhism is naturally willing to open its doors wide for you."
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
The father and son were incredibly excited.
We can finally become monks!
Subsequently, Monk Hugo personally performed the Tonsure Ceremony for the Song father and son.
The Song father and son soon became two bald heads.
"You bow under my seat and become my disciples."
"Entering my Buddhism, you should have Dharma Names."
"From now on, you two will be called Void Sea and Void Bamboo."
Void Sea was Xander Song's Dharma Name.
Void Bamboo was Drake Song's Dharma Name.
Once entered into Buddhism, there was no distinction between father and son, only seniority.
But because both bowed under Hugo's seat, they were considered peers in Buddhism.
"Thank you, Master!"
The two Song family baldies bowed in unison.
At this moment.
The father and son seemed to have achieved Great Enlightenment, with no more worldly attachments in their hearts.
"By the way, Master, what is the name of our temple?"
Void Sea (Xander) asked.
Hugo was stunned.
He really hadn't considered this question.
Now that Void Sea mentioned it, he really had to think about it carefully.
Because with the Song family's help, the progress of their temple construction was surprisingly fast.
It was estimated that in about ten days, a brand-new temple would be completed.
Before this, the name of the temple must be thought of.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know what sign to hang in front of the temple.
"No, the name of the temple must be personally given by the Holy Son. Otherwise, this temple has no meaning of existence."
Hugo decided to go up the mountain personally to pay respects to Quinn Ye.
To ask for the temple's name.
Hugo went up the mountain immediately.
He didn't want others to beat him to it.
In case a good temple name was asked for by others first, his own temple wouldn't have a good name.
Arriving at the mountain.
Hugo saw the courtyard where Quinn lived.
Quiet and elegant, plain and simple.
Hugo sighed with emotion in his heart.
"The Holy Son is truly an otherworldly Expert. Even his place of cultivation is so quiet and elegant. He is truly a model for us monks!"
He came to the front of the courtyard just as Quinn was picking pears from a tree.
"Holy Son?"
Hugo called out.
Quinn turned his head and looked over.
Upon looking, Quinn's head grew big.
Why did this monk run up the mountain again?
Truly like a lingering ghost.
"What do you want?"
Quinn asked grumpily.
Hugo, however, was full of smiles: "I am building a temple at the foot of the mountain, but I don't know what to name it. So I came specially to ask the Holy Son to give the temple a name."
"What the hell?"
"You are building a temple at the foot of the mountain?"
Quinn looked shocked.
"Yes. Not only me, but other fellow Buddhist cultivators are also building temples at the foot of the mountain."
Hugo nodded and said.
Quinn felt a bit dizzy.
"Wait, what is the situation with you guys?"
Hugo explained: "Since the Holy Son told me the difference between Great Vehicle and Small Vehicle Buddhism last time, I decided to stay here and follow the Holy Son to cultivate."
"And after other fellow Buddhist cultivators learned about it, they made the same decision as me."
"They all started building temples to be closer to the Holy Son and also to make it easier for us to protect the Holy Son."
The corners of Quinn's mouth twitched.
My goodness.
If a circle of temples is built at the foot of this mountain, what will my place become?
It will really become a Buddhist Holy Land?
"Take me to see it quickly."
"Okay!"
Quinn followed Hugo and hurried down the mountain.
Standing on high ground, Quinn could already see a spectacular scene from afar.
A dozen temples under construction formed a circle.
Just encircling the entire foot of Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
In the future, no matter who wanted to go up or down the mountain, they would inevitably pass through these temples.
Quinn looked messy in the wind.
"Why don't you guys go back to the West Realm? If you don't go back, people from Buddhism will come looking for you."
Quinn persuaded.
Hugo shook his head stubbornly.
"Holy Son, rest assured. If people from Buddhism come, I and the others will persuade them to stay together."
"Where the Holy Son is, is the true Buddhism."
Quinn: "..."
What is this all about?
Am I inexplicably stuck with this title of Holy Son?
Forget it.
Let him be.
Quinn was dispirited and turned to go back.
"Holy Son, you haven't given a name to my temple yet."
Hugo quickly stopped him.
Quinn was in no mood for this.
"Let's just call it The Shaolin Temple."
Quinn said casually, turned around, and left.
Hugo stood still.
Muttering the name "Shaolin Temple" in his mouth.
He muttered for a long time.
Suddenly, his eyes burst with light.
"The Holy Son is truly brilliant!"
"The Shaolin Temple! Hahahaha! My, Hugo's, temple will be called The Shaolin Temple!"
Hugo ran down the mountain happily.
...
Heavenly Martial Empire.
Capital City.
Emperor Dominic Su was discussing matters with his ministers in the court.
Suddenly.
"Urgent report from the Border Army! Urgent report from the Border Army!"
The court was instantly in an uproar.
Dominic Su's eyes narrowed.
"What happened to the Border Army?"
A guard knelt on the ground, presenting a war report with both hands.
Someone immediately delivered the war report to Dominic Su's hands.
Dominic Su opened it and looked, then suddenly stood up.
His face was full of anger.
"The Star Cloud Empire, Purple Sun Empire, and Phoenix Dance Empire have actually formed an alliance to attack the Eastern Border of my Heavenly Martial Empire."
"At this moment, the border pass has been breached. The million-strong coalition army of the Three Great Empires has already rushed into the territory of my Heavenly Martial Empire!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was horrified.
