According to records, the temple has never received pilgrims for hundreds of years, in the period of national disaster and war, there were thieves to make trouble, and finally there was no return, and it is even said that more than 10 people did not believe in evil, and forced their way into with guns, but they never came out after entering the door, and no one dared to come to the wilderness since then.

So far, within a radius of nearly ten miles from Rulai Temple, it is regarded as a forbidden place by the locals, and it will not set foot in half a step unless it is absolutely necessary. A few years ago, a real estate developer wanted to acquire this land, and found a lot of connections, but failed to approve it, and finally failed.

In recent decades, this place has been untouched, and Xiaoshanhe is likely to be the first person to walk to the gate in so many years.

Xiao Shanhe was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the old monk, because with the realm of his foundation building, he failed to discover the existence of the old monk, and the old monk appeared in front of him silently like a ghost.

It seems that the rule of not accepting pilgrims has been in place since the temple was built, so no one has ever been able to enter the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and no one knows what the situation is like inside the temple.

Xiao Shanhe learned from the old monk to fold his hands and bowed and said: "I don't come to burn incense, I just want to enter and have a look and feel the vast Buddha breath of Rulai Temple." ”

The old monk shook his head and said, "Rulai Temple never accepts idlers. ”

"Then who does the temple receive?"

"Rulai Temple only accepts people who are destined. ”

One of the Buddha's ways, the most particular fate, the so-called fate thousands of miles to meet, no fate on the other side of the meeting, if not fateful people, even if you find the temple, come to the gate of the temple, you are still not allowed to enter.

According to the old monk, Xiao Shanhe is not destined to be a person, so he naturally cannot enter the temple.

Xiao Shanhe frowned and asked, "What is a destined person?"

When he felt the breath of the Buddha, he knew that he had come to the right place, so he really wanted to go into the temple and take a walk to see if he could get any chance.

Taking a step back, even if he doesn't get anything, as long as he can meditate in the temple for half a day and let his mind get the baptism of Buddha's breath, it will also be of great help to his future breakthrough in his state of mind.

The old monk said lightly: "Only the Buddha knows." ”

When fate has not arrived, no one except the Buddha knows what fate is.

Xiao Shanhe sighed secretly, thinking that he had no chance with the Buddha after all, even if he knew that the Rulai Temple was extraordinary, he also came to the gate of the temple, but he couldn't enter the temple even one step away.

"When~"

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, a loud bell rang from inside the temple, and the old monk, whose eyes had been lowered, suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot out of his eyes, revealing an incredible look on his face.

"Donor, please stay. The old monk shouted to Xiao Shanhe.

Xiao Shanhe turned his head with some confusion.

"The Buddha said that you are destined. The old monk had a faint smile on his face.

Xiao Shanhe couldn't help but roll his eyes, who is destined to be the person, isn't it up to the person who rings the bell to have the final say. This can't be said to be fate, it can only be said to be a coincidence.

When did the old man Buddha become so casual, simplifying the ethereal fate into such a concise and direct definition.

Although Xiao Shanhe was very puzzled, since he had the opportunity to enter the temple to have a look, he naturally would not miss it, and walked into the temple with the old monk.

As soon as he entered the temple, the door behind him closed slowly and silently.

Probably seeing the doubts in Xiao Shanhe's heart, the old monk explained softly: "It is a bell without a pestle, it can't be struck with anything, and it will only ring when you meet someone who is destined." ”

The bell without a pestle that the old monk said was that there was no pestle used to ring the bell, and the pestle was also called the bell vertebrae, which was specially used to ring the bell.

Xiao Shanhe was shocked, it turned out that the fate that the old monk said turned out to be this bell without a pestle, no wonder he would say that only the Buddha knew.

"The bell without a pestle has not been rung for three hundred years. The old monk continued.

"Hiss~"

Xiao Shanhe gasped, if what the old monk said was the truth, wouldn't it mean that Rulai Temple had never met someone destined for three hundred years?

Following the old monk all the way, Xiao Shanhe bypassed the two Buddha halls and met four or five monks, all of whom were relatively old, and when they saw Xiao Shanhe, they all showed surprise.

The bell without a pestle has not sounded for three hundred years, but it suddenly rang today, which immediately alarmed all the monks in the temple.

After walking for a few minutes, the old monk took Xiao Shanhe to the center of the temple, pointed to a big bell as black as ink and said: "This is the bell without a pestle, which rang once three hundred years ago, when Rulai Temple took a three-year-old monk into the temple. ”

"What happened later?" asked Xiao Shanhe.

Later, the monk became the abbot of Nyolai Temple, and it is said that he left the heavens after a hundred years and crossed the Pure Land of Buddhism. The old monk looked yearning.

As a monk, who doesn't want to go to the Pure Land of Buddha to have a look? But the Pure Land of Buddha is far away on the other side of the galaxy, and how can ordinary monks have the ability to cross the galaxy and cross the vast starry sky. But anyone who can go to the Pure Land of Buddha is a great Buddha with incomparable Buddhism.

Xiao Shanhe's pupils shrank slightly, and for the first time since cultivating immortals, he learned that the earth actually had the power to step on the starry sky and chase the Pure Land of the Buddha Kingdom.

In this way, doesn't it mean that the earth did have amazing characters hundreds of years ago, and their strength was incomparable, and they broke away from the earth and crossed the cosmic galaxy to a higher-level planet.

This discovery made Xiao Shanhe unable to calm down for a long time, if his conjecture is true, then there will definitely be many opportunities and inheritances left by great powers on the earth, if he can get these opportunities, then his strength will increase rapidly.

Xiao Shanhe looked at the dark bell and pondered for a moment, and asked, "May I ask the master, if you come to the temple to not accept pilgrims, but you will stay in the world for a long time, what is it for?"

The old monk's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Guard." ”

Whether it is to protect Xijing City, or to protect Huaxia Kingdom, or to protect the earth, the old monk did not elaborate, so Xiao Shanhe did not continue to ask.

"I want to sit here for a while. Xiao Shanhe said.

"Since the donor is a destined person, he can naturally stay in the Rulai Temple. The old monk nodded.

When the old monk left, Xiao Shanhe sat down cross-legged next to the bell without pestle, he did not deliberately run the true yuan, nor did he practice any exercises, just sit quietly, relax the whole body, empty his mind, like a monk who is empty of the four major emptiness.

"Hum~"

The bell without a pestle suddenly made a soft sound, and a faint golden light emerged from the surface of the bell, and at the same time, a golden ancient Buddha emerged from Xiao Shanhe's body, intertwining with the bell.

Many monks were alarmed by the sound and rushed over from other places, and were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw that the bell without a pestle emitted bursts of light, and in the light, there were Buddhist mantras looming, floating out of the big bell, and they all submerged into the body of Xiao Shanhe.
