After five years in the temple, although it has read all the scriptures in the temple under my supervision, it is more interested in spiritual cultivation and ancient martial arts, which I have not hindered, after all, if you want to settle down in this world, you still need to know a little bit of these things. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan looked at the old ape a little strangely.

I'm afraid it's more than just a little, right?

Five hundred-year-old beast, God knows how strong you are?

"But no one knows that on the surface, the Hongli who is dedicated to the Buddha still hides a primitive beast heart......"

The next story made Chen Yuan and Li Changsheng fall into deep thought.

Hongli has always hidden his wildness, and after wanting to further learn the ancient martial arts of Buddhism was rejected by the old ape, he went down the mountain in a fit of anger and killed dozens of lives, including demon beasts, foreign beasts, and humans.

All of this was seen by the old ape who had been silently following behind it, and when Hongli returned to the temple again, he was expelled by the old ape, and before leaving, it stole the "Great Compassion Palm".

In the days that followed, the old ape often learned about Hongli's fate from the mouths of other strange beasts.

But it really didn't expect that Hongli would eventually become a beast king, and the killing on his body would become more and more heavy, and there would be no half of Buddha nature.

"Hongli has fallen into the devil's path and is difficult to turn back, thanks to Chen Shizhu, Hongli did not cause a catastrophe in the end, it is its luck, but also the luck of our temple. ”

As he spoke, the old ape folded his hands and bowed deeply to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan nodded and accepted this gift very calmly.

The reason why he asked this question was that he thought that this monkey temple and Hongli were colluding with each other, but even if it wasn't, the old ape and other monks were indeed at a loss for Hongli.

After bowing, the old ape raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan fixedly, his eyes were full of thoughts, as if he was making some decision.

After a moment, it spoke slowly.

"After all, our temple owes Lord Chen ......"

Hearing this, Chen Yuangang wanted to shake his head and refuse, but was pulled by Li Changsheng.

"In this way, presumably Master Chen also has an ancient map on him, and my temple can exchange an ancient map for a chance, as for what can be caught, it all depends on Lord Chen. ”

Chen Yuan was immediately stunned, obviously not yet reacting.

Li Changsheng beside him was overjoyed, and immediately pulled Chen Yuan to sit on the futon.

"Thank you Master yet!"

This sentence finally woke Chen Yuan up, his eyes shrunk, and hope was ignited in his heart.

"Thank you, Master!"

In the following days, Chen Yuan had been following Li Changsheng and the monks in the temple to listen to the scriptures and meditate.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that although his cultivation was almost none, Chen Yuan became more and more calm.

Finally, on the fourth day after Chen Yuan woke up, he was taken higher up the mountain by the old ape.

Looking at the stone crack in front of him, which could only allow one person to pass through, Chen Yuan felt an inexplicable panic for no reason.

Without waiting for him to think about it, the old ape turned around with his hands folded.

"Master Chen, this is it. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's eyes sank slightly, and his divine light turned bright first, and then dimmed a little.

He opened the "Daqian Vision" and "Yin Film and Television World" at the same time.

Although there is not much spiritual power, these two special abilities are not supported by spiritual power, but are like an instinct like Chen Yuan.

Previously, after getting the approval of the old ape, Li Changsheng told Chen Yuan about the secret between the ancient map and this temple, and bluntly said that he really understood his "Tao" because of this.

After learning about it, Chen Yuan was also immediately surprised.

He has always felt that although Li Changsheng's "Dao" has its truth, some places are not suitable for him.

And now, after seeing the real hidden place, Chen Yuan couldn't help but be a little excited.

Although he seems to be extremely quiet these days, in fact, the desire to restore his strength in his heart is extremely strong, but he refrains from letting this mind dominate his actions.

After seeing Chen Yuan's face at this moment, a smile appeared on the old ape's face.

"Master Chen, I didn't tell you about the secret plan here at first, you won't be surprised, right?"

Chen Yuan shook his head, without any dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"This matter has nothing to do with the temple in the mountains, so naturally I won't think much about it. ”

The old ape smiled again, and turned to look at the crack in the stone.

"What's in this, no one knows, I also heard what the previous abbot said to know the secret, this stone crack, will only let the person who holds the ancient map enter, and this is also the most peculiar point, as long as there is an ancient map, regardless of authenticity, you can enter. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was stunned and shocked.

In this way, this stone crack actually existed before the old ape became the abbot, and the time was not short, otherwise the previous abbot would not have known.

Then, let's just say that this stone crack has existed for more than 500 years! It appeared even earlier than the first spiritual power tide that the old ape said!

The old ape naturally knew his confusion, shook his head and continued.

"I've thought about this crack in the stone, but I haven't been able to come up with a definite answer, if there was a burst of spiritual power before the spiritual power tide I experienced, then the earth can't still be like this. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, and his brows furrowed tightly.

For the first time the spiritual power exploded, there was a strange beast like the old ape that could survive for more than 500 years, if there was another one before, then how terrifying the awakened life would be? It is impossible for the earth to be silent all the time.

And it was at this time that Chen Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

What if, what is awakened, is not life?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

And the old ape, who noticed this, pursed his lips and smiled.

"Okay, Master Chen, the secrets of this place are not something we can figure out for the time being, and the time is not early, I believe you have already been prepared, take out the ancient map and take it in your hand to enter, as for what Master Chen will encounter in it, and what he can grasp, it all depends on Lord Chen's own. ”

After speaking, the old ape turned sideways, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and got out of the way.

Chen Yuan, who had never seen anything, also took a deep breath, and after taking out the ancient map with the little aura he had left, he walked towards the stone crack step by step, and then disappeared at the mouth of the stone crevice.

In the eye, it was dark, and the five fingers were not visible.

Chen Yuan found that the ancient map in his hand had disappeared, and reached out to grope for both sides, which were extremely cold and rough stone walls.

Subconsciously, Chen Yuan looked back.

And behind him, there is also a deep darkness.

After settling down, Chen Yuan continued to grope the stone wall around him and slowly walked forward.

This walk, I don't know how long, has been going on, only boundless darkness.

Maybe it's a very short time, maybe it's a long, long time, so long that Chen Yuan is a little in a trance.

Gradually, Chen Yuan's various sense of touch began to become dull.

A question began to arise in his mind, is he walking?

Or do you stay where you are?

He even wondered if he had touched something, if he was walking, and after he made a sound, he couldn't even hear half of his own voice!

At one point, he thought he had lost all control of his body.

Everything no longer responds to what Chen Yuan did and thought, including himself.

Panic began to appear in his heart.

But Chen Yuan even wondered if he was flustered, whether he was thinking about something.

He felt that his current self was like a duckweed without roots, or thoughts that only existed in his imagination.

Are you wondering?

Or are you angry?

Or does nothing exist, including yourself?

Outside the stone crack, Li Changsheng appeared beside the old ape.

He looked at the old ape, folded his hands and bowed, "Master." ”

"Master Li. ”

Hearing this, Li Changsheng straightened up and looked at the stone crack, his eyes were extremely complicated.

He didn't know if Chen Yuan's experience would be the same as him, but for this stone crevice, even if he could go in again, he would be extremely unwilling.

Although he didn't know what was in it, the only thing he was sure of was that there was a great terror between heaven and earth inside the crack in the stone.

"Master, do you think this Chen Yuan can come out?"

The old ape was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Everything is the law, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, it should be viewed as such." ”

Li Changsheng scratched his head and spoke a little awkwardly.

"Master, can you speak directly? I don't understand. ”

The old ape turned his head and looked at Li Changsheng with a smile.

"Master Li, everything in this depends on Lord Chen's own, whether he can come out or what he can grasp is his own fate, even if he can't come out again, it is also Lord Chen's own certainty. ”

Hearing this, Li Changsheng felt a little strange in his heart.

Does co-authoring mean it's none of my business?

But he didn't dare to say this, so he could only laugh dryly.

Seeing this, the old ape shook his head again and sighed: "Master Li, if I go down the mountain, which side do you think I should stand on?"

Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to say "our side", but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

"Master Li Shi, things in this world are like this, either you don't touch it, or you can only get caught in it, so in my eyes, there is only me Buddha in this world, but including me, even the Buddha, all living beings are equal, how can this cause be easily touched?"

As he spoke, the old ape looked at the scorching sun in the sky that was slowly obscured by clouds, shook his head and sighed.

"I can't touch it, and I can't touch it. ”

This time, Li Changsheng was completely silent.

Although he doesn't know much about some Buddhists, he is naturally not a fool who has been able to cultivate to the C-level elite.

This old ape itself is a foreign beast, and it seems that it is against his will to help some humans, and only an old ape who has studied Buddhism can do it, so can he be replaced by other foreign beasts with intelligence to help humans?

Dream about it.

Therefore, if you expect too much from the old ape, it is really excessive, and it is fundamentally to ignore or even deny the identity of the old ape at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng bowed again.

"Changsheng, thank you here, Master. ”
