Chapter 61

Xiangguo Temple is the largest temple in Jinling, and Zixuan and the two naturally know it.

However, if she wants to break the curse of the undead, Lan Lan proposes to others, maybe Zi Xuan is not surprised.

But if it is said that the monk of Xiangguo Temple will crack it, she will have to be cautious.

In China, although there are hundreds of schools of thought, there are many genres. However, in terms of the longevity of historical inheritance and the influence on people's thoughts and society, there are three major sects that are incomparable to other sects, namely Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. These three major sects can be said to be unsurpassed.

Confucianism advocates joining the WTO and cultivating one's self to rule the country and level the world; while Taoism stresses detachment from birth and the way of nature; as for Buddhism, that is, Buddhism, it advocates self-discipline and transcendence from reincarnation.

Due to different ideas, different influences. The influence of Confucianism mainly radiates to the political arena, while the influence of Taoism and Buddhism mainly lies in the rivers and lakes.

Because of this, although Zixuan has lived in the world for many years, she has also been to many famous places. But there are two places that I have never been to for so many years, and that is the Taoist and Buddhist practice sites - Taoist temples and temples.

Of course, she doesn't mean that she is afraid of anything, but that she is naturally sensitive. Over the years, she has learned about the thoughts of the two families in the world, and at the same time, she has also seen many film and television works that have come into contact with Taoism and Buddhism to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, and her heart has become more respectful.

Not only that, but she also reminded Xiaojing and Lan Lan many times not to go to these two places to avoid complications.

However, it is clear that Lan Lan did not do what she said.

After Lan Lan saw Zixuan and Xiaojing's expressions, she knew what they were worried about.

She smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to think so mysteriously, with our cultivation, we shouldn't be afraid, right?"

Zi Xuan rubbed her nose and chuckled, "Having said that, we are not so comfortable after all, after all, we are demon clans." The human race is accustomed to comparing demons and demons together, demons and demons, it can be seen that we still have prejudices-"

"Sister Zixuan is right!" Xiaojing nodded, and also said, "Sister Lanlan, don't you remember the legend of the white snake, as soon as Fahai saw the snake demon White Lady, he wanted to accept her?"

"It's okay, I won't talk about other temples, I've been to Xiangguo Temple twice!" Lan Lan laughed at herself, "Why didn't anyone come to take me in?

"This—" Xiao Jing thought for a moment and said, "That's because you haven't touched it!"

Lan Lan shrugged and was noncommittal, obviously she didn't agree with Xiao Jing's point of view.

Zixuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know the monk of Xiangguo Temple?"

Lan Lan was stunned for a moment and smiled, "That's not true, I went to play with my friends, so I didn't think of making friends." ”

"If you want to crack the curse of the undead, your cultivation must not be low. Zixuan then asked, "Lan Lan, you have been there twice, do you know the cultivation of the monks in Xiangguo Temple?"

"The first time I went around with my friends, I only saw ordinary monks. Lan Lan recalled her experience and her face was solemn, "But on Chinese New Year's Eve, I noticed three great monks with high mana. ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve? What are you doing over there for the New Year?" Xiao Jing asked curiously, "Why haven't I heard you mention this?" ”

Lan Lan said with a smile, "I was pulled to watch the bell on Chinese New Year's Eve, 108 times, and I came back not long after reading it!"

"What does this mean, what's so nice about striking a bell?"

"Uh, this...... The eldest sister is well-read and strong, let her explain it to you!"

Zixuan was speechless beside her, how did this topic come to this, and she still had a lying gun.

However, looking at Xiao Jing's thirsty gaze. Zixuan had no choice but to explain it to her again.

It turns out that the bell hits 108 times on Chinese New Year's Eve, which mainly has two meanings, one is to say that there are 12 months of the year, 24 solar terms, 72 days (five days are one wait), the addition is exactly 108, and the bell rings 108 times, indicating the end of the year, with the meaning of removing the old and welcoming the new. Second, according to Buddhist legends, mortals have one hundred and eight kinds of afflictions in a year, and when the bell rings 108 times, all human afflictions can be eliminated.

Therefore, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, many people gather at the temple to listen to the bells, and pray for peace in the melodious sound of the bells.

Zi Xuan finished patiently, and then she pulled back the topic and said to Lan Lan: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, what kind of cultivation did the three monks you saw?"

"One should be in the late Yuan Infant period, a little stronger than me. Xiao Jing's expression was solemn and said, "I can't feel the other two, but the faint coercion should have reached the stage of transformation into a god." ”

"Transformation Period?" Zi Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, with her understanding of Lan Lan, she would not doubt Lan Lan's judgment at all, "In this way, the curse on me and Xiaojing, they may be able to dissolve it!"

Xiaojing nodded, and also said, "It's just that Lan Lan went that time on Chinese New Year's Eve night, and it was the day when the whole world celebrated......"

"yes!" Zixuan sighed, "So, the key question is, what will they do when they find out who we are?"

"Eldest sister, why don't we go?" asked Xiaojing.

"Let's go! Although there are potential risks in going to the temple, it is better than waiting for the owner of the puppet to come to us!

At the mention of the puppet's owner, Xiao Jing's face couldn't help but change slightly. It was a poisonous snake that seemed to be hiding in the dark, and no one knew when it would come out and deliver a fatal blow.

Zixuan groaned, her eyes swept over Lan Lan and Xiao Jing, and then smiled faintly, "Since we still have to make such a trip sooner or later, then let's just go tomorrow!"

……

Xiangguo Temple in Jinling is located on Yujian Mountain in the western suburbs and is one of the famous Buddhist temples in China.

It is meant to complement each other. Xiangguo Temple was built in the Song Dynasty, during the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu commemorated his lay disciple Nie Feng and other ten people to help him ascend the throne, so he gave the name Xiangguo Temple.

Xiangguo Temple is deeply respected by the royal family, has been expanded many times in history, and is one of the largest temples in southern China. Today, Xiangguo Temple has become a national tourist attraction.

Early in the morning, after the gate of Xiangguo Temple was opened, pilgrims and visitors waiting outside rushed in.

Among these people were three women dressed in modest clothes, who bought tickets and entered side by side. These three people are Zixuan Xiaojing and Lan Lan.

It's just that the three of them have changed their appearances with spells, but their facial features are upright and their appearance is mediocre, and they are no longer as beautiful and moving as before. This kind of woman with this kind of appearance is casually placed in the crowd, which is not eye-catching, and it may not be possible to find it.

Xiangguo Temple is full of people coming and going, and there are many pilgrims.

However, Lan Lan has been here twice after all, so he is also familiar with the road.

Led by a small monk, they walked through a corridor into a guest hall and soon met the deacon in charge of reception at the monastery.

The deacon is a middle-aged fat monk, wearing a robe, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and a smile on his face all the time, which makes people feel close.

After the four people came in, the monk's eyes were blazing, and he glanced at it, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

The cultivation of the early stage of the Yuan Infant! Zixuan and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw what they were thinking.

"Uncle Huiming, the three female donors have something to see!"

The little monk saluted the fat monk.

"yes, I see. Huiming said to the little monk, "Yuantong, you go out first!"

"Yes!" Yuantong said, turning and slowly exiting the room.

"Amitabha, the poor monk's Dharma name is Huiming!" the fat monk saluted the three of Zixuan together, "Three female donors, why are you here today?"

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" Zi Xuan also felt his mood swings, knowing that the other party had faintly seen their identities.

She then said slowly, "We want to see the abbot, and ask the master to introduce us!"
