Chapter 360: Chapter 207: The Former Sword Saint!_2Actually, the secret chambers behind were pried open by Jiang Shouzhong in his
Approaching the gate, Mo Bailing suddenly stopped, smiled at Jiang Shouzhong and Master Yuantong, and said, "Gentlemen, due to some reasons, the original third challenge ’Asking Sword’ has been canceled. The two of you will have a contest, and the winner may enter the Blood Sword Pool and take the Dragon Slaying Sword."
Jiang Shouzhong’s expression turned unpleasant, "Are you deliberately making it difficult for me?"
Despite Yuantong’s benevolent appearance, his strength was definitely much stronger than Murong Ququ’s.
He really wasn’t sure he could beat him.
Mo Bailing took out a Copper Coin, smiling as he said, "Seeking the sword also depends on luck. This Copper Coin has a character on one side and is blank on the other. You two can only choose one side; whoever guesses right sets the rules of the contest. Be it fighting or writing poetry, it’s the winner’s choice to decide."
Mo Bailing showed them the Copper Coin, which indeed had one smooth side and one with a character.
He turned his back deliberately, placed the Copper Coin on the back of his left hand, covered it with his right, turned back around, and said, "Gentlemen, please guess."
"Jiang, please."
Master Yuantong smiled and gestured with his hand for Jiang to proceed.
Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t be bothered with formalities and casually guessed a side, "I’ll guess the side with a character."
"Then this monk will choose the blank side."
Yuantong replied with a smile.
The others also gathered around anxiously to see the outcome.
As Mo Bailing slowly lifted his right hand, the Copper Coin revealed to the crowd showed the smooth, blank side.
Ran Qingchen and Yuan Anjiang looked disappointed.
"Master Yuantong wins."
Mo Bailing announced, "Now, please Master Yuantong to choose the form of the contest, and the winner may enter the Blood Sword Pool and claim the sword."
Jiang Shouzhong helplessly rotated his wrists, "Go ahead, Master."
If necessary, he would fight another battle.
Yuantong shook his head with a smile, "No need for a fight, I don’t quite enjoy violence. I’ll take a shortcut and discuss Chan Buddhism with Jiang. If you can convince me, Master Jiang, I will admit defeat."
Hearing the monk’s words, everyone knew the outcome then.
Being a monk from Vajra Temple, although not as skilled in debating as those from Wuchan Temple, he was still a professional, no match for the average person.
Yuan Anjiang teased, "You really have no shame, monk."
"I have no choice; this is all I’m good at,"
Yuantong replied with an apologetic smile.
Jiang Shouzhong didn’t hold too much resentment against the monk; after all, Zhang Yunwu’s master was a monk from Vajra Temple. He responded, "Fine, it’s all just babbling nonsense anyway."
Yuantong nodded gently and asked, "May I inquire, Master Jiang, what is the true sutra?"
