Grunt!
Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to Zixuan: "Sister, why don't we ......leave now?"
Lan Lan also looked at Zixuan, her face solemn.
Obviously, due to their previous unpleasant experience in Xiangguo Temple, the abbot of this Lin Yin Temple suddenly came to invite, and they became vigilant.
Among the three people, Zi Xuan's cultivation is the highest, and she is also the most experienced, and Lan Lan and Lan have always looked at her as the first horse. If Zixuan shouted to leave, they wouldn't stay here for a moment.
Zixuan glanced at Xiao Shani, who was waiting at the door. Little Shani was a boy who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes.
Zixuan groaned for a moment and said to him, "Okay, please lead the way ahead!"
"Eldest sister, why are you still going? Curiosity kills the cat!" Lan Lan asked the voice.
"Since I'm here, I'd better go and see, I also want to know who it is. ”
Then, Zi Xuan transmitted a voice to the two: "Be vigilant, pay attention!"
Lan Lan and the two nodded and followed.
Lin Yin Temple is not big, the top of the temple is covered with glaze, golden and splendid, the roof ridge and the building are carved with a variety of patterns and figures, the colors are bright and dazzling, and the characters are lifelike.
As with other temples, several halls here are home to Buddha statues of different sizes and shapes, as well as Kannon.
Zixuan and the three of them also saw in the temple that there was an Arhat Hall here. The Luohan Hall displays hundreds of clay statues of golden-bodied Arhats, which are magnificent. The posture of the statue is different, lifelike, there are dragons and tigers, there are hesitant to sit upright, there are horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, there are smiles that can be restrained, joy, anger and sorrow, the mood is completely different;
The temple is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air is fresh, the environment is beautiful, and the sound of wooden fish and chanting Buddha echoes in the air, which has a unique atmosphere of washing the soul.
Zixuan and the three of them watched as they walked, if it wasn't for something in their hearts, they might have stopped and admired it halfway.
After walking for a few minutes, a path made of pebbles appeared in front of me.
Zixuan looked up, and the path passed through the temple wall, seemingly leading through a small gate to the hillside behind the temple.
Little Shani led them forward, without the slightest intention of stopping.
Zi Xuan stopped, frowned, and asked in a loud voice, "Little Master, did you take the wrong way here?"
Xiao Shani was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "The donor is too worried, the abbot is waiting for you at the Moyun Cliff in the back mountain!"
"Oh, where do you abbots usually meet guests?" asked Xiaojing.
Xiao Shani shook his head and said, "Our temple is small in people, and Namoyun Cliff is a perennial place for the abbot to cultivate. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to go without permission. This year, you are the only ones who have been allowed. ”
"Oh, I see!" Xiao Jing nodded.
Shani smiled innocently, and then continued to lead them forward.
After walking through the small gate and walking for more than 100 meters, you can see the green shade on the hillside, and the jungle is also scattered with strange-shaped stones.
Xiao Shani stopped, pointed to a square boulder beside the cliff not far away, and said, "I won't go, our abbot is waiting for you behind that boulder!"
Zixuan nodded, "Okay!"
After Xiao Shani left, Xiao Jing stepped forward and said, "Sister, are we really going over?"
"Hmm. Now that I'm here, I naturally have to meet this master!" Zi Xuan squinted her eyes, and the blue light flashed in her eyes.
Then, she smiled faintly: "This abbot is not simple!"
The cobblestone path cascades down the woods and connects to the end of the hillside. At the end of the hillside, there stands a huge stone six or seven zhang high, on which is engraved a big "Buddha" character. On the boulder, there are faintly some strange lines, these lines, as if natural, a vast and simple atmosphere, quietly spread, so that this space is because of this breath and become reckless and stable.
Behind the boulder, a figure sat quietly with its eyes closed. The man was about sixty or seventy years old, and wrinkles crawled all over his face. He was wearing a gray monk's robe, and his head was extremely smooth, shining brightly in the sunlight.
The three of them walked to the front of the boulder and looked at the old monk behind them, all of them looking surprised.
The old monk sat cross-legged, as if he was one with heaven and earth. If it weren't for Shani earlier, they might have thought he was seated.
"You're here?" The old monk suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile on his face.
"I wonder why the master invited us here?" Zixuan asked slowly.
The old monk didn't answer, his dim eyes swept over the three of them, and he said to himself: "Biling Rabbit, Hades Demon Leopard, Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, you can still see the nobles of the Demon Clan in the upper realm in your lifetime, and you have no regrets when you die!"
The old monk's tone was flat, but after Xiao Jing and Lan Lan heard it, their faces changed drastically as if they had seen a ghost, and they pulled Zi Xuan back two steps and stood in front of Zi Xuan at the same time.
Zi Xuan stretched out her hand to stop the two, but the old monk revealed her identity with one word, and she obviously couldn't maintain her calmness at all, her face was shocked, and she asked:
"Who the hell are you?"
Over the years, although they have also encountered some cultivators, and some of them also doubt the identity of their demon clan, it is the first time that they have been accurately said so casually.
The old monk looked at the three people who were on high alert, and opened his mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, I just haven't met anyone from the upper realm for a long time, and I'm too excited." ”
Xiao Jing couldn't help but secretly use her divine sense to probe the old man. However, when the divine consciousness approached the boulder, it was bounced back by an invisible force, and his heart was terrified. As everyone knows, Zixuan and Lan Lan have been secretly probing like this a long time ago, but they all returned in vain.
"Little girl, don't bother to investigate!" The old monk frowned and smiled indifferently, "I'm just the abbot of Lin Yin Temple, and I have no ill will towards you!"
"Your Excellency won't even tell you your true identity, how can we believe it?" Zi Xuan said coldly, "If that's the case, forgive us for not being able to accompany you!"
After speaking, Zixuan turned around with the two of them and was about to leave.
The feeling this person gave her was terrible. She felt like she was transparent to him, and she didn't know anything about him.
"Hehe, this little fellow is a cautious fox!" muttered the old monk in an inaudible voice.
Seeing that the three of them turned around and were about to leave, the old monk continued, "Do you want to leave like this?
Zixuan was stunned when she heard this, and her steps slowed down.
She turned her head again and said, "You know what trouble we're in and want to help us?"
The old monk nodded and said with a smile: "If I don't help, no one can guarantee that you will survive?"
Zi Xuan was shocked in her heart, her face changed slightly, and her expression was solemn.
She was surprised not only because the mysterious old man seemed to know everything, but more importantly, judging from what he said, it seemed that someone was about to attack them soon!
"How can I believe your words?" Zi Xuan said indifferently.
Breaking the seal naturally requires trust, and apparently this old man has not yet reached this point.
She would never let herself and others be in danger today just because she was avoiding the danger of tomorrow.
"You'll believe it!" the old monk smiled indifferently.
In the suspicious gaze of Zixuan and the others, the old monk made a seal. Then they saw that the strange patterns on the boulder had quietly receded, and the previous vast and simple atmosphere in the space was much weaker.
"Yuan Infant Middle Stage?" Zi Xuan couldn't help but say.
"Yes, now I shouldn't be the slightest threat to you, right?" said the old monk with a smile.
"That's not necessarily?" Xiao Jing said with a pout, "Who knows if you have hidden cultivation?
"Little girl, you don't understand, she does!" the old monk shook his head and looked at Zixuan.
"It's true that the cultivation of the middle stage of the Yuan Infant is true!"
Zixuan nodded and said.
Seeing that Lan Lan was about to say something more, she then transmitted to the two of them: "He didn't stop him in the slightest just now, my divine sense penetrated deep into his body. His body seems to have suffered a heavy blow before, and his body has suffered a severe loss of vitality and physical failure. If my prediction is right, this old monk will not die soon!"
The realm difference is too far, if Zixuan can, he can kill this old man now, even if he has a magic weapon in his body, it will not help.
The old man looked at them lightly, with a kind look.
He let out a long sigh:
"Now, you should believe it, right?"
