Chapter 746: Hongli
The old ape smiled and looked at the sluggish Chen Yuan, and there was no emotion in his eyes except for kindness.
And Li Changsheng, who was kneeling on the futon, turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan with a reproachful face.
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you come over and thank the abbot? If it weren't for the abbot, you would be dead!"
Li Changsheng's voice completely pulled Chen Yuan back to reality, but Chen Yuan was still a little confused.
Dare to love here, is it really a monkey temple?
Subconsciously, Chen Yuan looked at the enshrined Buddha statue and immediately breathed a sigh of relief after finding that it was not a monkey head, but his heart was even more weird.
"Huh. The old ape put down the small mallet that struck the wooden fish, squinted and smiled, "Master Li is serious, I just did it easily, according to Master Chen's physical fitness, in fact, it can be cured, but it will take a long time." ”
"Hey, abbot, don't be modest, it's not your medicine, this kid will definitely not last so long. ”
Li Changsheng was so flattering that his face was full of flattery.
The old ape chuckled and shook his head, no longer refuting.
After Chen Yuan took a deep breath, he sat down cross-legged on the futon beside Li Changsheng.
"Well, that, abbot, is this?"
Hearing this, the old ape smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Don't panic, don't panic, this small temple of mine is still in the Miaojiang realm, and you haven't gone out yet. ”
Chen Yuan nodded, barely breathing a sigh of relief, but his heart became even more eccentric.
This Miao Jiang is really strange.
Perhaps seeing Chen Yuan's doubts, the old ape smiled again.
"But the donor wants to ask about the various things in this temple?"
After being silent for a while, Chen Yuan said seriously.
"Yes, but I am afraid that the words will hurt the abbot and the temple...... Master. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm a monk, we don't care about that. ”
After getting the will, Chen Yuan finally let go of the scruples in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask the abbot, why are there all different ...... in this courtyard Monkeys?"
Hearing this, the old ape stared at Chen Yuan for a while, and then slowly replied for a long time.
"This matter is a long story, can Master Chen be patient?"
Chen Yuan nodded, his expression serious.
He is really curious now, what is going on with this monkey temple?
"Things go back to 500 years ago, when the great changes between heaven and earth came for the first time......
Time passed slowly, and Chen Yuan also listened to it with relish, and also knew some secrets about the drastic changes in spiritual power.
For example, the appearance of spiritual power is not sudden, nor more than once.
Five hundred years ago, before the explosion of spiritual power recorded by human beings, there was actually a very faint tide of spiritual power in the world, as if it was an omen.
But because it was so faint and so short-lived, it wasn't observed at all.
However, there are still some creatures that have been affected.
Like this old ape.
It was originally just an ordinary young mace in the mountains, but it was extremely lucky to be affected by the first tide of spiritual power, and it gave birth to spiritual intelligence.
So the old ape began to observe this temple in the mountain, and at first he thought of eating people.
However, this temple is not simple, and neither are the monks in it, after several sneak attacks by the old ape, it was caught, and then pressed into the main hall to accept the decision of the abbot.
But the abbot did not punish it, but he did not let it go, but let it stay and listen to the scriptures.
At first, the old ape was full of impatience, but he couldn't beat the monks, so he could only compromise.
Over time, the old ape really had a trace of Buddha nature, and the abbot laughed and put it back in the forest.
But for the old ape, it can't forget the days when the Buddha listened to the scriptures, and from time to time he secretly ran over, and the monks in the temple did not stop him, letting the old ape come and go.
When he heard this, Chen Yuan was secretly speechless.
If it was five hundred years ago, then it was the era in which I lived in my previous life, but I didn't expect that there would be such simple temples and monks.
And if what the old ape said is true, then it is one of the first alien beasts in the world!
How powerful should that be?
However, Chen Yuan did not say this, but buried it in his heart and continued to immerse himself in the story of the old ape.
After a long time, the old ape came day after day, year after year, and the monks and abbots in the temple had long been familiar with it, and they regarded it as a fellow disciple.
And this look, I saw the second outbreak of spiritual power, that is, the day of the invasion of demon beasts.
This temple has not escaped that catastrophe.
The old ape wanted to help, but was stopped by the abbot.
Even if the latter died, he didn't want to see such a wise old ape, his hands covered with blood.
When all the monks and abbots of the monastery died, the old ape crawled out of his hiding place.
Once it sits in front of the Buddha, it is five years.
During the five years, more and more of its kind gathered around it, and these same people also became alien beasts due to the influence of spiritual power.
But before, they had been disciplined by the old ape for a long time, and when they had spiritual intelligence, some of them chose to follow the old ape.
This is the origin of this temple.
And the old ape has also become the most mysterious existence in this Miao Jiang.
After hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't calm down for a long time.
He really didn't expect that history would be like this.
Seeing this, the old ape folded his hands and smiled again.
"Master Chen, what else do you want to ask?"
Chen Yuan licked his lips, subconsciously felt a little dry mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while.
But in the end, he still asked the question he was most puzzled about.
"Abbot, why did you save me?"
The old ape smiled, and pulled another rosary in his hand.
"Master Chen, it's not me who saved you, it's you who saved yourself. ”
It paused, and looked into the distance beyond Chen Yuan and Li Changsheng.
"Chen Shizhu doesn't know, we and other monks in the temple, and don't want to be involved in the world of great contention, whether it is a human being, a beast, or a demon beast, there is a reason for its existence, but these things have nothing to do with the mountain, we just want to quietly practice here, visit the Buddha, and the arrival of Li Shizhu and Chen Shizhu can only say that I have a fate with my Buddha, not that I saved it. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan was slightly stunned, and then stretched his brows.
The old ape's words sound confusing, but in fact, they mean the same thing.
Save you and save you, but don't think I'm saving you.
To put it simply, the old ape didn't want Chen Yuanhe to be a monkey in the temple...... Monks are involved.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan nodded.
"yes, I see. ”
Hearing this, the old ape reported the Buddha's name, and then continued to close his eyes and recite the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng on the side glanced at Chen Yuan, then shook his head and sighed lightly in his heart.
This kid, after all, doesn't he have that fate?
In fact, in addition to bringing Chen Yuan here to heal and save his life, Li Changsheng also wanted Chen Yuan to try his luck here.
This is not just a temple of alien beasts, in fact, the ancient map that has been rumored for a long time in Miao Jiang is here.
In the past, Li Changsheng was the same as the current Chen Yuan, and his whole body cultivation was abolished, and even the meridians that were even worse than Chen Yuan were broken, and there was no chance to recultivate at all.
And it was with the ancient map that he came to this temple and exchanged it for an opportunity for the old ape to be able to master his power again.
The man who swept through Elysium City fifty years ago, Li Changsheng also got a plausible answer from the old ape.
But now, the old ape, who knew what he meant, didn't have the heart to mention it at all, and was even more anxious to clear up the relationship with Chen Yuan.
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng's eyes showed a hint of pity when he looked at Chen Yuan.
These changes in expression were all seen by Chen Yuan, and he immediately knew that he was probably missing something.
However, Chen Yuan's heart was calm, without the slightest wave.
After a few days of calm observation, he found that his current meridians were only distorted and disrupted, and as long as he could find the right way to repair them, he would be able to restore his original E-level cultivation.
Even if it doesn't work, the big deal is to rebuild.
Therefore, Chen Yuan can now be said to have reached the extreme.
He narrowed his eyes, bringing his last question to himself.
"Master, I have one more question. ”
The old ape stopped chanting, his eyes slightly open.
"Donor, please. ”
"I wonder if all the monks in this temple are as unstained as the masters?"
"The monks in the temple are all like this. ”
Hearing this, the aura on Chen Yuan's body began to change a little, and his eyes became more and more calm.
"I once saw a beast king at the foot of the mountain, he was also a strange beast, and he was the same kind of master, who could speak people's words, and was good at making the ancient martial arts of Buddhism 'Great Compassion Palm', I don't know if it has anything to do with your temple?"
Hearing this, Li Changsheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the old ape in disbelief.
And the latter's hand pulling the rosary also quietly stopped.
For a moment, the entire hall was so quiet that only the sound of cold wind entering the hall could be heard.
"What did the Beastmaster do?"
The old ape's eyes were completely open, and his tone was a little erratic.
Chen Yuan stared at the old ape's eyes, and then slowly came to what happened on the train.
Listening to this story, Li Changsheng was a little moved.
He knew that in Chen Yuan's narration, the strength of that monkey beast was even comparable to that of an ordinary C-level entry, and for Chen Yuan, its danger could be imagined.
But Rao is like this, Chen Yuan can also use various factors to pave the way, and finally force it to a dead end.
And the old ape's eyes slowly dimmed, and finally after hearing the monkey's ending, the breath on his body suddenly became a little sluggish, and he looked a little older.
It was only after Chen Yuan had finished speaking thoroughly that it slowly spoke.
"That beast king is the monk in my temple. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's eyes condensed slightly.
And so it was.
Originally, he was just guessing, after all, that monkey was able to speak and use Buddhist ancient martial arts, no matter how he looked at it, it was inextricably linked to this temple.
"Its Dharma name is Hongli, and it is a little monkey who suddenly became enlightened ten years ago and took the initiative to throw himself into the mountain gate. The old ape said, his eyes falling into a memory, "It is not an ordinary beast, after hearing me chant for a few days, it can be completely retold without missing a word, and I even cultivate it as the next abbot." ”
After a pause, the old ape closed his eyes.
"But who would have thought that this boundless Dharma is just a wind in its ears. ”
