"Welcome the three distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty." The monk with the golden crown bowed to the three people, and his expression had completely returned to calm.
Although the change in the golden crown monk's expression just now lasted only a moment, the Shen Luo in the past might not have been able to notice it, but now he has amazing eyesight and saw all the changes in the other party's expression without missing a single thing.
"Why did this guy look at me like that just now? Could it be that he recognized me?" Shen Luo thought secretly in his heart.
He asked himself, "This is not the Western Regions. If there is any enemy in the Western Regions, it would be the yellow-faced monk in Baijun City. Could it be that the yellow-faced monk has some relationship with this monk with a golden crown?"
These thoughts were running through his mind, but he didn't show any of it on his face. He followed Chaner and Bai Xiaotian in returning the greeting.
"Thank you for being so polite, Masters. May I know your Buddhist names?" Bai Xiaotian asked.
"I'm Longtan, and this is Zen Master Baoshan." Monk Jinguan said with a smile.
"It turns out to be Master Longtan and Master Baoshan. Nice to meet you." Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.
Bai Xiaotian and Chaner were both followers of the Zen sect, and they chatted quite harmoniously with these monks. Shen Luo had little knowledge of Buddhist principles, so he stood aside and listened quietly.
The main purpose of the Zen Masters Longtan and Baoshan coming here this time was to welcome Chaner and others and to welcome them to participate in the subsequent Mahayana Dharma Assembly, so they did not stay here for long. After talking for a while, they quickly said goodbye and left.
Shen Luo watched the group of people leave, his eyes flashing.
When the few of them were talking just now, although the Zen Master Longtan didn't look at him, he could feel that the other party was always observing him, as if he was confirming something.
After watching the monks leave, Chaner felt a little tired after traveling all day, so he said goodbye to Shen Luo and the others and went downstairs to rest.
Bai Xiaotian was not tired, and he was very interested in Chigu City, so he planned to tour the city.
Shen Luo stayed in the residence to protect Chaner's safety. They had already privately agreed to take turns to stay by Chaner's side.
"Duke, are this Zen Master Longtan and Zen Master Baoshan from the Holy Lotus Dharma Altar?" Shen Luo called Duke over and asked after rewarding him with a large ingot of silver.
"Thank you, senior! You guessed it right. Master Longtan and Master Baoshan are the left and right protectors of the Holy Lotus Altar, and their status is second only to Master Linda." Duke's eyes widened when he saw such a large ingot of silver. After expressing his gratitude, he said respectfully.
"Since Zen Master Linda is in retreat, are the daily affairs of the Holy Lotus Altar handled by these two?" Shen Luo asked.
"Yes, it is said that Master Longtan is responsible for handling external affairs, and Master Baoshan handles the internal affairs of the Chigu City headquarters." Although Duke was surprised that Shen Luo asked this question, the large ingot of silver just now made him tactful and did not ask any further questions.
Shen Luo asked a few more questions about Dragon Altar, Baoshan and Chigu City, and Duke answered them one by one.
"By the way, Duke, do you know Baijun City?" Shen Luo asked casually at last.
"Baijun City? I know it's a city on the border of our country." Duke answered after thinking for a while.
"Does the Holy Lotus Altar branch in Baijun City have a close relationship with Master Longtan?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
"Senior Shen, you have asked the right person this question. The branch master of Baijun City, Ramo, is the nephew of Zen Master Longtan. This matter is very secretive and very few people know about it. I worked as a short-term worker in the Holy Lotus Altar for a period of time several years ago and heard about this matter by chance." Duke said excitedly.
