I was given auto clicker as my gold finger

The pressure lasted for a second as it swiftly vanished. Tian who was standing far away felt a small amount of pressure as his five senses were sharpned after he achived the third level of the bronze body sutra.

General shi turned around as he helped the female general get up.

" Don't you know commander Lan, prince does not tolerate any disrespect towards budhhist monks? How can you even say those words? "

The female general, although visibily angry, nodded and turned around as she left the temple.

General shi signed as he looked at the gate. There was a chariot coming. There were soldiers with yellow robes and armour in both front and back of the chariot. It was a majestic chariot of the Royal Family pulled by a spiritual beast. The spritual beats was a horse but way bigger than normal horses and it had muscular body that was covred in fur.

The horse had six eyes and looked ferocious. The soldiers dared not to get too close as the chariot slowly arrived near the gates.

The door of the chariot opened up as a middle aged man got down from the chariot.

The monk who was there to welcome the second prince received him with a slight smile. " We welcome the pride of Lingyun, His highness the second prince, Yun Huang. "

The monk said as the prince nodded. Tian looked at the second prince while standing in the formation of the monks. All the young monks were told to maintain the formation and not move until the prince goes into the prayer hall, prays and leaves. These were the orders of general shi.

Second prince was a middle Aged man that looked in his 40s. he had a strong medium build and was wearing black robes with various engravings on them. There was a small boy and a girl following the prince into the temple.

The prince and the trio along with the head monk, lit up the incense and prayed to the budhha idol in the prayer hall.

As they finished praying, the second prince walked in front of the formation of the monks as he observed all the monks standing in the neat formation.

" Abbott, you have got quite the force here... "

The abbot who was standing besides the second prince nodded as he said " It's nothing your highness, they are just youngsters pursuing spritual perfection and divine wisdom "

The prince smiled as he walked forwards and spoke in a loud voice addressing the monks. " Do you all know what my purpose in coming here this time is? Did you tell them abbot? " He asked as the abbot shook his head. " It's their chice and your need... I will not convey such information to them... "

Prince nodded as he looked at the young monks. Tian and the children were standing in the back who also observed and listened.

" The temple has withstood the tests of times. It was here when my father ascended the throne, it was here when my grandfather defeated the previous king, it was here way before that! Let me tell you why! "

The voice was heavy as prince folded his hands behind his back." We of the Lingyun royalty have allowed the temple to develop freely since the time of my grandfather because the temple was the only power that stayed neutral during wars of the past... The monks helped people instead of armies.. "

" Today, I am here because we are about to go to war again... But this time, enemy is not human! There is a terrible plage spread in the kingdom. Fortunately, those who have cultivated or those who have made at least some progress in the way of body strengthening are immune to the plague."

The Prince then looked at the general as the general nodded and waved his hand.

The soldiers lifted up the curtain of a small cage. Inside there was a small chicken. Strangely this chicken was laying down, eyes drooping as if about to go to sleep. There were strange warts of puss on the body of the chicken filled with black fluied and a strange black miasma was gathring around the chicken.

" this is the result of the plague. This plague is a demonic entity that spreads utilizing the spiritual force in the victim. The plague's spritual force then converts all the energy of the victims into this death qi. The chicken is almost dead but does not die.

The people of the kingdom are same! They are suffering! The kingdom has allowed the temple to function without any intervention since years, in return we ask the monks today to help the people in need. " The prince said as he looked at the abbot.

The abbot had a calm expression on his face, he was looking at the sky while chanting some Buddhist mantras.

The head monk arrived besides the prince and addressed the monks " Those of you who wish to go with the prince and help the poor can go tomorrow. We will not force you to go but remember, the true spritual perfection and peace can only be achieved through hardships and struggle.

Experience the struggles of the society, help them and teach them the budhhist dharma along the way. "

The head monk then left as the prince also followed general shi to the chariot.

All the soldiers left one by one as tian and other monks talked among themselves.

" Pss.. Tian, will they allow us to go? I wanna go and see the world, I want to help people too " Wang Bao said while whispering.

" It's your personal choice, they will not stop you if you wish to go"

" What about you Tian? Would you go? " Wang bao asked. Tian looked at the kid as he smiled " I would definitely go... This is a chance to experience the world, why won't I go? "

As the children were talking in hushed tone, Monk chen arrived in front of them as he smiled " Although the head monk said it's our choice, it was just a reminder. We monks are required to perform this duty every year to help the people in need. You can not go Wang bao since you have yet to complete even the first stage of bronze body sutra but Tian can go. "

Chen looked at Tian as he smiled " Don't worry, there are records of plague in the kingdom. Usually the main temple would handle the purification of the plague, but this time it seems that plague has spread too much. "

As chen started explaining, the other children all gathred around him as they listened. " Brother chen, why is our temple not invited every year but this time prince personally came to invite us? "

Chen looked at the kids as he continued the explanation. " well, that's because the monks of our temple do not know the great purification sutra. It's a sutra that can utilize internal energy and help remove the negative plague energy from the body of the patient. It's a healing art that belongs to the Great Yang Empire. It's the empire that rules 14 of other kingdoms including our lingyun kingdom. "

Chen then looked at the monks attentively listening as he continue " The dynasty gave this technique to the royals of the empire to resist against the plague catastrophe. Age of the plague catastrophe started 10 years ago and since then, the plague has been flaring up once in a while in mortal world. "

Tian was surprised to hear this as he also came in this world 10 years ago. Maybe the main storyline of the novel that this world was based on had this plague catastrophe storyline. Unfortunately he couldn't remember any novel remotely related to current plot.

Wang bao asked the next question " Will they allow us to learn this art brother chen? "

" A person requires Spiritual roots to cultivate. Spritual roots are the focal points of the body which allows us to absorb spritual energy. Royals have bloodlines that pass on spritual roots thus they are able to cultivate. Big budhhist temples have a few cultivation techniques and some disciples who have spritual roots so they can practice the Purification sutra to cure the people of plague.

This time the lingyun kingdom has called us because in the past, a small number of monks were enough to handle the outbreak of plague.

The people with spritual roots are rare and those in the army and in the service of the Royal Family are busy with the demonic beast horde. The plague that appeared recently has always been delt with by the monks of the Nirvana temple.

They are based in the neighbouring Houyang kingdom and are a second rate power with a quite a number of cultivator monks. "

Chen continues as an expression of reverence can be seen on his face " They are a great power that was established by a monk at the level of foundation establishment, a living budhha of the great Yang Empire "

" This time, it is said that the monks of the nirvana temple are not enough so our temple was Invited. Lingyun kingdom have promised us that if we have even one monk among us who have spritual roots and can learn purification sutra, we can receive the cultivation technique of the purification sutra "
