    Chapter 560 Challenge

    We walked freely among the crowd and soon entered the temple gate. What we saw was a high platform, about two people high, which was temporarily built with wooden boards.

    The platform is two feet long and two feet wide. There are steps on both sides. There are people on both sides. People on the right go up, one step at a time, and those on the left go down. The next person on the left is next, and the person on the right is up. The order is calm.  Not messy at all.

    In the middle of the high platform, there was a wooden pier, on which sat an old monk, fifty or sixty years old, wearing a wide red monk's robe, with his right arm exposed, wearing a tall yellow hat, his eyes slightly closed, one palm clasped together, and the other  Placed on top of a person's head.

    There were palms pressed on the top of his head, but the man looked excited and knelt down in front of the old monk, motionless.

    The old monk had a withered appearance and was about to die. He had turned into a pine tree. He sat there quietly with his eyes slightly closed. He looked very ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary.

    He asked questions with one hand, and gently stroked the person's head with the other hand. After rubbing it three times, he took his palm away. The person stood up, bowed respectfully, and walked down to the left, with excitement and an incredible expression on his face.

    The people on the right had different expressions, some were curious, some were pious, and some were skeptical, but they climbed up to the high platform one by one and were rubbed on the head by the old monk.

    After the massage, everyone's expressions turned into excitement, uncontrollable excitement, and an incredible expression.

    Xiao Yuesheng raised his chin and said calmly to the old monk, "What is he doing?"

    "Dharma King Danfeng is praying for everyone!" the little novice monk said softly, with a look of admiration on his face; "Dharma King Danfeng has great magical powers, which is praiseworthy and admirable!"

    "What kind of magical power is it?" Xiao Yuesheng asked with a smile.

    "As long as someone is blessed by the Dharma King Danfeng, he will immediately become energetic and all his ailments will be cured instantly, which is better than a panacea!" said the little novice monk excitedly.

    "Oh¡ª¡ª? Is there such a good thing?" Xiao Yuesheng asked with a smile, as if he didn't believe it.

    The little novice monk said hurriedly: "Monks do not lie. Donor Xiao will know if it is true just by looking at those good men and women."

    Xiao Yuesheng nodded: "It seems true, then I want to see it more. I heard that Tubo's Tantric Buddhism is the Mahayana of Buddhism, which is better than Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains. I don't know if it is true or false."

    The young novice¡¯s face changed slightly and he remained silent.

    No matter how magnanimous he is, if it involves the dispute between Buddhism and Buddhism, he will inevitably be involved in it and find it difficult to detach himself.

    "Little master, please tell me!" Xiao Yuesheng said with a smile.

    The little novice monk responded: "Yes, donor Xiao, please wait a moment."

    After saying that, he moved forward lightly, bypassed the high platform, and turned to the temple behind.

    After a while, the young novice monk appeared followed by an old monk, with a respectful and worshipful expression.

    This old monk has white beard and eyebrows, his face is like a full moon, emitting red light, his skin is as thin as a baby's, and his eyes are clear. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.

    "Almsgiver Xiao, this is the master." The young novice took the lead and introduced him.

    Xiao Yuesheng took a look and saw that the old monk was wearing a purple gold cassock. He was obviously an eminent monk. Otherwise, he would not have received the cassock personally given by the emperor.

    "Amitabha, Xiao almsgiver, I am still disappointed, but I hope you will forgive me." The old monk's heart was still full of tithes, and his expression was gentle.

    Xiao Yuesheng titheed and waved his hand: "Abbott, you're welcome. I've admired the name of Dharma King Danfeng for a long time and came here specially for a while."

    "Okay, let me go and tell you." He agreed happily, but just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped and said, "Donor Xiao, do you have any extraordinary abilities?"

    Xiao Yuesheng smiled: "I have been practicing swordsmanship for several years, and I have achieved some success recently. I will use Danfeng Dharma King to test whether my sword is sharp!"

    The old monk was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, Almsgiver Xiao is very energetic, I admire him."

    After saying that, he turned around and left, went up to the high platform, walked up to Dharma King Danfeng, whispered a few words in his ear, nodded quickly, clasped his palms together and said: "Dear donors, today's prayer meeting is over."

    People immediately started making noises and didn¡¯t agree. It was obviously going to take half an hour, but why did they stop? They waited so long in vain. It was so annoying!

    The old monk¡¯s heart was calm and he titheted. He calmly said in a warm voice: ¡°There is a certain almsgiver Xiao who comes to challenge the Dharma King. I can only aggrieve everyone!¡±

    "What? Challenging the Dharma King?!"

    "Could he be crazy? The Dharma King has so many magical powers, how can he have any rival!?"

    "My surname is Xiao, could it be Mr. Xiao from the Xiao Mansion in the capital?"

    "Well, it's very possible. Only Mr. Xiao dares to take risks. Those four major sects are scared out of their courage. How dare they come here?!"

    "Hmph, Mr. Xiao should have shown up long ago!"

    ? ?The person suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, it's not Mr. Xiao!"

    People were talking again, wondering where this person named Xiao came from. He was so courageous that he came directly to challenge him. He was very brave.

    Xiao Yuesheng tiptoed, jumped up lightly, and slowly landed on the high platform. He was a foot away from Dharma King Danfeng. He clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I heard that Dharma King Danfeng has profound Dharma and vast supernatural powers. I am very happy when I first came out of the world. Let's compare it with each other.  Just one game!"

    Dharma King Danfeng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yuesheng, and spoke like beads: "Almsgiver Xiao, thank you very much!  I have a false reputation and cannot take it seriously. How can Almsgiver Xiao teach me?"

    "Use the sword." Xiao Yuesheng drew out the green-edged sword from his waist. The sword was gleaming with a bit of sharpness, and said, "All the martial arts in the next body are on the sword!"

    "Okay, let's ask Almsgiver Xiao to take action." He bowed kindly, but remained motionless.

    Seeing this, Xiao Yuesheng felt secretly annoyed and took a breath: "Please¡ª¡ª!"
