Chapter 194 Sea King Test
After Bald Luo Hao (Hui Neng) put away his posture, he completely ignored those who mocked him.
He just stood quietly in front of the huge copper basin, staring at the movement in the basin.
As the copper basin trembled slightly, a small ripple gradually formed inside the basin, moving forward.
The monks were frightened by Huineng's action just now, but now they saw that the ripples were so small that it seemed that they could only advance one meter at most before dissipating, so some people began to mock.
"Hui Neng, you now have a wife and children, so why don't you just return to secular life?
Hahaha!
Why are you still a monk? "
"That's right! Go home and hug your wife!"
Amidst these unfriendly mocking voices, the tiny ripples gradually grew thicker and larger, as if they had a tendency to continue expanding, like a snowball rolling on the snow.
Bald Luo Hao (Hui Neng) once again used his strength to shut up those talkative people.
At this moment, the only sounds in the audience were surprise and admiration.
Huiyuan, who was far away, also looked unhappy.
Ever since his last tie with Huineng, he has been the subject of much discussion.
Among the younger generation of Bailin Temple, the title of the strongest monk has become confusing, and Huiyuan has lost his overwhelming advantage.
This topic became a hot topic of conversation after dinner in Bailin Temple.
Huiyuan, the arrogant eldest brother of the Arhat Hall, was completely helpless about this.
In the huge copper basin in the Arhat Hall, the water waves rolled bigger and bigger, and finally hit the opposite basin wall with a strong momentum, causing large splashes of water to splash onto the ground.
King Liehai, standing beside the copper basin, announced loudly: "Hui Neng, twelve meters!"
After a while, the tests for everyone present were finished, and the only two who could be said to have outstanding abilities were Huiyuan and Huineng.
In the end, King Liehai announced that Huiyuan and Huineng tied for first place in the test.
The hundred-year-old wild ginseng given as a reward was naturally divided into two, with Huiyuan and Huineng each receiving half.
However, the reward method announced by King Liehai was opposed by Huiyuan.
"I think that there must be a clear distinction between me and Junior Brother Huineng, otherwise we will inevitably have grudges in the future. I hope that King of the Sea can help me."
Just when King Lie Hai was feeling embarrassed, the abbot of Bailin Temple appeared at the right time and whispered something in King Lie Hai's ear.
After hearing this, Lie Hai Wang's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help asking: "Isn't this too hasty?"
The abbot smiled and responded softly: "No problem, just announce it as I say."
Afterwards, Lie Haiwang gathered his emotions and announced in a very serious and formal tone: “After careful consideration by the abbot, Bailin Temple will hold a special Haiwang test tomorrow.
There were only two finalists, Huiyuan and Huineng.
They will use our temple's unique 'rock-hitting' method to determine the winner over a one-day period, to see who can hit the roundest and smoothest stone ball."
This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly exploding in everyone's ears.
The winner will be awarded the title of Sea King. You should know that in the whole of China, including foreign Sea Kings, there are only twelve people with this title.
King Liehai’s announcement made Huiyuan’s blood boil, his eyes turned red, and his excitement was beyond words.
Huiyuan clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to King Liehai and the abbot, and said firmly: "I have no problem, I am willing to participate."
Bald Luo Hao (Hui Neng) was not unfamiliar with the legend of hammering rocks with bare hands during his days in Bailin Temple. He had heard of the legend a long time ago.
Now that the opportunity is before him, he certainly won't miss it, not to mention the tempting reward of the title of Poseidon.
So he also bowed and expressed his willingness to participate.
Amid the cheers of the monks, Bailin Temple welcomed an unprecedented grand competition, the importance of which was enough to be recorded in history.
The next day, the early morning at Bailin Temple seemed like the gentlest brushstrokes of nature, slowly unfolding in the tranquility.
The dawn breaks over the horizon, lightly outlining the contours of the ancient temple; the golden sunlight and the ancient blue bricks and grey tiles interweave to create a peaceful and solemn scene.
At this time, the melodious sound of the temple bell penetrates the mist, echoing with the echo of the distant mountains, awakening everything that is sleeping.
In this tranquility and solemnity, a falcon suddenly breaks into the picture. It flaps its wings and flies high with a nimble figure, like a streak of unruly ink in the sky, instantly breaking the tranquility of the early morning.
Outside the main hall of the Arhat Hall, there were densely packed warrior monks, and two people were standing on the steps.
One is Liu Haiwang, the abbot of Bailin Temple, who is wearing a cassock, and the other is Lie Haiwang, who is strong and wears a martial arts uniform.
The abbot began to solemnly announce: "The rock-hitting test begins now!
Huiyuan and Huineng, you two come in with me now, and everyone else waits here for the test results."
After the abbot finished speaking, he walked towards the main hall of the Arhat Hall, followed closely by King Liehai, and Huiyuan and Huineng also immediately trotted to catch up.
Outside the Arhat Hall, voices of cheering and encouragement were heard one after another, but most of the voices were cheering for Huiyuan, and few people stood on Huineng's side.
The four of them walked straight through the Arhat Hall, then walked through a long, dim corridor and came to a big door.
King Liehai pushed hard, and the two heavy black lacquered wooden doors slowly opened.
"Squeak!"
As the door opened completely, a strong historical atmosphere wafted over. It was obvious that no one had been to this room for a long time.
The room was a little dim, with old dust flying around in the air and a damp and moldy smell in the air.
After about one or two seconds, Bald Luo Hao (Hui Neng) gradually adapted to the brightness here and his vision began to become clear.
He could now clearly see that the room was very spacious, with an area of at least two hundred square meters.
What is strange is that there is nothing in the room except for some large stone balls, which are placed there one by one.
Bald Luo Hao (Hui Neng) walked forward and touched the surface of one of the stone balls, which was as tall as a person, feeling the subtle marks on it.
At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and then asked, "Could these be the stone balls left behind by the sea kings of past generations?"
The abbot came out upon hearing this. He came to a stone ball with a diameter of about three meters. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the slightly bumpy surface of the ball. At this moment, the abbot's expression was as if he was stroking his own child, with tenderness between his brows.
"That's right! This is the stone ball left behind when we completed the rock-breaking test before becoming Sea King.
In order to commemorate the successive sea kings, I set up this room as a special place to collect these stone balls.
And this stone ball was made by me eighty years ago."
The stone ball that the abbot was touching was the largest one among all the stone balls in the room.
"Amitabha!
The abbot is indeed the most powerful of all the sea kings. Just looking at the huge size of this stone ball is enough to demonstrate the abbot's extraordinary skills!"
It was Huiyuan who spoke, and his words were obviously meant to flatter the abbot.
