Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng thought to himself, Fa Yuan really couldn't keep his cool. After just two cups of tea, he started to talk about the Sancai and Mingxuanbing ancient jade.

He smiled and said, "Yes, I think those three pieces of ancient jade are great, so a friend of mine offered to buy them and gave them to me. If I had known that Senior Brother Fa Yuan also wanted to take a fancy to these three pieces of ancient jade, I would not have taken them away from him."

Fa Yuan said, "One of the main reasons I came to the capital this time was to obtain the Three Talents Harmony Ancient Jade. I wonder if Junior Brother Ye can part with it? I know Junior Brother Ye spent 1.5 million taels. To express my gratitude, I am willing to pay Junior Brother Ye 2 million taels to purchase this item."

"Forehead……"

Ye Feng and Hong Jiu looked at each other.

I thought that those three pieces of ancient black ice jade seemed to be quite important to Monk Fayuan, as he had traveled all the way from Lingtai Temple to the capital.

Moreover, he directly proposed to increase the price in front of the two of them.

This is actually a very rude thing among righteous monks.

Even if you directly increase the price by 500,000 taels, it would still be rude.

Ye Feng glanced at Monk Fayuan and said, "Brother Fayuan, you are determined to get it. I wonder why you want to get the Three Talents Harmony Ancient Jade. This thing is not worth three million taels."

Hong Jiu quietly pulled it and whispered, "Two million, it's two million taels."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother Fa Yuan is willing to bid two million, then I will definitely bid three million.

For us, the Three Talents Ancient Jade is not worth the price, but for Senior Brother Fa Yuan, it is worth it."

Fa Yuan's eyes flashed. He was very smart and naturally understood the meaning of Ye Feng's words.

Ye Feng's meaning was very clear. It was not impossible for him to get the Sancai Heming Ancient Jade, but the price was not two million taels, but three million taels.

For Kuhai Temple, a mere three million taels is naturally a piece of cake.

However, Fa Yuan did not carry so much cash and banknotes on him.

Fa Yuan nodded slowly and said, "Yes, but I only have 1.3 million taels on me. The remaining 1.7 million taels will be delivered to Junior Brother Ye within three days."

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes, leaned his head forward slightly, stared at Fa Yuan with his big eyes, and said, "Brother Fa Yuan, you must have misunderstood. I didn't say I would sell the Three Talents Harmony Ancient Jade to you."

Fa Yuan was slightly startled when he saw Ye Feng's playful expression.

I thought this kid's attitude towards Buddhism had changed, but it turned out to be my illusion.

Ye Feng is still full of malice towards Buddhism.

Fa Yuan said, "Amitabha, what do you want, Junior Brother Ye, to give it up? Just name a price."

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "This item was bought by my friend at great expense and given to me. The bond between friends cannot be measured by money. Let alone three million taels, even if it was thirty million taels, I would not sell it. I hope Brother Fayuan will forgive me."

Monk Fayuan showed a hint of disappointment.

Ye Feng saw it and said, "Money cannot measure friendship, but it can be measured in other ways. Last time we had a debate at the Yunhai Sect mountaintop square, but we didn't finish the debate that day.

Let's have a Buddhist debate here. If Brother Fayuan can defeat me, I will give you the Three Talents Harmony Ancient Jade for free."

Fa Yuan was stunned.

Hong Jiu's expression also changed slightly.

Hong Jiu whispered, "Old Ye, are you crazy? Senior Brother Fayuan is a famous debater and is well-versed in Buddhist scriptures. If you debate with him about Buddhism, aren't you courting death?"

Ye Feng smiled, his face filled with mysterious confidence.

A hint of solemnity appeared on Monk Fayuan's handsome face.

Others may not know, but he knows that Ye Feng never plays by the rules when debating and he will always change the concepts.

Last time at the mountaintop square of Yunhai Sect, this kid said he was debating Buddhist scriptures, but what he was debating was not Buddhist principles or scriptures, but secular things.

Because of this, Monk Fayuan was caught off guard and was taken advantage of by Ye Feng.

Monk Fayuan seemed eager to obtain the Three Talents Harmonious Ancient Jade. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Junior Brother Ye, you're not going to argue with me again about why Buddhist statues of the Buddha are painted with gold, or about how wicked people can become Buddhas instantly by laying down their butcher knives, while good people who have done good deeds their entire lives cannot attain Buddhahood."

"No, no, no, we are monks, and you are a Buddhist disciple. I will only discuss Buddhist principles with you, not other messy worldly things."

"Oh, if I win, Junior Brother Ye is willing to give it up. If I lose, I wonder what price I will have to pay?"

"It's very simple. Tell me the secret of the Three Talents and Harmonious Ancient Jade."

A strange color flashed in the depths of Fa Yuan's clear eyes.

He fell into deep thought again.

This time he was in deep thought for a long time, Fa Yuan even picked up the teacup and began to sip the tea slowly.

But Ye Feng and Hong Jiu could both see that this handsome monk with a jade face was using the action of drinking tea to conceal his inner thoughts.

So the two of them didn't disturb him.

But Hong Jiu looked worried at this moment.

This monk Fayuan is very powerful. He is nearly a hundred years old this year. Sixty years ago in the Lingshan competition, he only lost twice, one to Fu Jinghong and one to Lingyin, and finally achieved a good result of fourth place.

Not only does Fayuan have unfathomable cultivation, his understanding of Buddhist principles is also outstanding among the younger generation of Buddhist disciples today.

Many old monks who had practiced hard for hundreds of years were defeated by him in debates.

Hong Jiu couldn't understand why Old Ye, who was usually as smart as a monkey from Tianyun Mountain, did such a stupid thing today.

A disciple of the Taoist Xuanmen school actually wanted to debate Buddhist principles with a master of Buddhist debate.

Hong Jiu felt that it must be love that made Ye Feng lose his mind.

There can't be any mercury in this kid's brain.

About half a cup of tea had passed before Fa Yuan put down his teacup and said slowly, "Okay, I agree."

Ye Feng smiled and shook his head gently.

I thought to myself that this monk Fayuan really has no memory at all. Last time in the square, when I left, Fayuan didn't hear a single word I said.

In fact, Monk Fayuan was destined to lose from the very beginning.

Buddhism is free from desire and demands. He wanted to make a bet with others. This competitive spirit runs counter to the Buddhist teachings of purity of the six senses and emptiness of the five aggregates.

So from the very beginning, Ye Feng was invincible.

Ye Feng took out an exquisite wooden box containing the Sancai Heming Xuanbing ancient jade from the black silk bracelet, placed it on the table in front of him and opened it.

The three ancient black ice jades emitting soft white light are like living beings with souls.

As the wooden box was opened, the temperature in the wooden pavilion, which was originally as warm as spring, seemed to drop a little.

Fa Yuan looked at the Three Talents and Harmonious Ancient Jade and nodded slowly.

Ye Feng said, "Brother Fayuan, we are all acquaintances, so this bet is simple. We will take turns asking each other three questions about Buddhist principles. Whoever can't answer them, or whoever gets the most wrong answers, loses."

Fa Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, Junior Brother Ye, please ask the questions."
