Chapter 3: Strange Black Clouds

The Great Bodhi Temple Fair is of course of no significance to people like Xu Zhuo who are not interested in religion, but for a large number of men and women, this is the most important religious event in Jianghuai City and even the entire Jiangnan Province.

What's more, it is rumored that even Master Zhenru will appear at today's temple fair, which makes people even more reluctant to miss it easily.

So today, although it is just an ordinary day, Baolian Mountain has already been crowded with people, and the Great Bodhi Temple has long been overcrowded, filling the huge square at the gate.

Fortunately, the Great Bodhi Temple has long been very familiar with this kind of scene, and arrangements have been made in advance, and the entrance to the interior of the Great Bodhi Temple has long been sealed, and if you want to enter, you must buy tickets in advance.

However, Ji Yan and Xu Zhuo both have press cards from Jianghuai City TV station, and Ji Yan has already contacted the Da Bodhi Temple through the relationship of the TV station, and has the right to report on this temple fair, but she can go in directly in advance with her press card without buying tickets.

It's just that the two of them can't pray and worship the Buddha everywhere after coming in like other men and women, but they have a lot of work to do.

According to Ji Yan's arrangement long ago, the two made relevant reports on the Da Bodhi Temple, and also conducted a special interview with Master Jueming, the current abbot of the Da Bodhi Temple, and had a heated discussion on the history, present and future of the Da Bodhi Temple......

After being busy, Xu Zhuo's prejudice against religion has changed a lot.

"This master of Jueming is open-minded, unlike those ordinary monks, who know how to say meaningless empty words."

"Why do you think I was able to apply for an interview with the Great Bodhi Temple so quickly? It's because Master Jueming is a very ......" Speaking of this, Ji Yan paused, her expression a little strange. "Hmm...... In short, a very enlightened person, you don't think of him as an ordinary monk. ”

"It doesn't matter what I think." Xu Zhuo shrugged his shoulders and ended his brief comment.

This kind of on-location interview work is very familiar to both Ji Yan and Xu Zhuo, and the two have cooperated many times, so naturally there is no problem.

This went smoothly until 9 a.m., when the Grand Bodhi Temple meeting officially began.

At the beginning, this temple fair was no different from all the temple fairs of the Great Bodhi Temple, the believers enthusiastically participated and worshipped, and the Great Bodhi Temple also arranged one activity after another in an orderly manner, and there was no chaos.

But after ten o'clock, the situation changed slightly.

"Oh my god, are these guys crazy?" Xu Zhuo looked at the groups of believers around him with almost crazy expressions, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Now you know how famous Master Zhenru is, right?" Ji Yan on the side responded lightly.

Xu Zhuo shook his head and turned his head to look at the high platform in the center of the temple fair.

A group of monks came out of the wall in two batches, and then the curtain wall, which had been blocked, suddenly cracked open, and then an old monk with a white beard hanging down his chest, who looked at least eighty or ninety years old, but with a ruddy face, a straight waist, and no trace of the old age of Long Zhong, slowly walked out.

As soon as the old monk appeared, a large number of believers gathered around the high platform and in the distance of the high platform immediately let out a tsunami-like noise, and many believers even knelt down at all.

Looking at the fanatical expressions on the faces of these believers, Xu Zhuo was speechless.

"This is Master Zhenru? It doesn't seem to be much different except that it is more energetic than ordinary old people. ”

Xu Zhuo had just muttered to Ji Yan in a low voice, but suddenly found that Master Zhenru on the high platform turned his head and glanced in the direction he was.

That gaze was like a substance, shooting directly into Xu Zhuo's body, and colliding with the gaze shot out of Xu Zhuo's eyes, so that Xu Zhuo couldn't help but even suffocate his breath.

"No, this old monk really seems to have some ability." Xu Zhuo was secretly shocked in his heart.

Master Zhenru on the stage also showed a look of surprise, and then quickly retreated.

"Huh? Did Master Ru notice you just now? Ji Yan kept staring at Master Zhenru on the stage, keenly aware of the strangeness between him and Xu Zhuo, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you and Master Zhenru actually know each other?" “

"How is that possible?" Xu Zhuo shook his head. "It's the first time I've heard of him today, and it's the first time I've seen him."

"Is that really like a master knows you?" Ji Yan frowned slightly and thought about it, but still felt a little unreasonable.

However, at this time, there was no time for the two of them to be entangled in this issue, and with the appearance of Master Zhenru, the temple fair entered the most **, and the work tasks of the two became heavy.

Fortunately, Master Zhenru just came out to make an appearance, said a few words casually, and then preached a piece of Buddhism, and only appeared for about ten minutes in total, and then announced that he was leaving.

Just as Master Zhenru turned around, Ji Yan suddenly pulled Xu Clumsy and rushed towards the high platform.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xu asked in amazement.

"It's usually rare to see Master Zhenru, so I'm going to take the opportunity to interview him!" Ji Yan's voice revealed a hint of excitement, obviously this plan was also a little exciting for her.

Hearing this answer, Xu Zhuo immediately understood.

The interview with Master Zhenru was definitely not included in the scheduled itinerary, and it was very likely that Ji Yan proposed it, but the Great Bodhi Temple did not agree at all.

This is also understandable, because according to the scene after Master Zhenru's appearance today, he can be said to be the trump card of the Great Bodhi Temple, and it is impossible to accept an interview with reporters casually, so as to ensure his sense of mystery and make people more respectful.

However, Ji Yan is this kind of character who goes up in distress, and also has a strong adventurous spirit and action, the Great Bodhi Temple does not allow it, she even thought of rushing up at such a moment to directly contact Master Zhenru!

Xu Zhuo in the back complained bitterly.

In order to make this big temple fair safely today, the security work can be said to be extremely well prepared, and now not only a large number of monks are deployed around as guards, but even the police are present a lot.

Ji Yan wanted to break through the encirclement like this and rush in front of Master Zhenru, it was a fool's dream.

And this action is too bold, if it provokes the anger of the master, or the Great Bodhi Temple investigates, the consequences will be unpredictable.

But Ji Yan moved very fast, and by the time Xu Zhuo figured it out, she had already rushed out.

At this time, the security personnel arranged by the Great Bodhi Temple had already reacted, and several monks and two policemen had already surrounded Ji Yan.

Xu Zhuo sighed and stopped, intending to watch Ji Yan being stopped.

At this moment, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and when he looked back suddenly, he saw a black cloud suddenly coming from the top of the mountain behind him, and in the blink of an eye, it had already covered the sky above the Great Bodhi Temple.

This black cloud looked somewhat similar to the dark cloud before the rainstorm, but Xu Zhuo saw it in his eyes, and there was a strong uneasiness in his heart, as if there was something strange and ominous shrouded in this black cloud.

What made Xu Zhuo even more strange was that this black cloud came out so strangely, and the situation was so obvious, but everyone around seemed to have not seen it at all, even at this moment on the high platform of the temple fair, the direction of the black cloud in front of him, the group of monks of the Great Bodhi Temple who should have seen it clearly did not react, and still had a normal appearance.

"Something is wrong......"

Seeing that the black clouds were about to envelop the sky above the Great Bodhi Temple, Xu Zhuo couldn't help but take a step forward.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a soft shout behind him, and then a golden light suddenly struck from behind, facing the black cloud head-on.

When the black cloud met the golden light, it was as if it had encountered something terrible, and in the blink of an eye, it had been completely expelled, and the last bit had completely shrunk back and disappeared.

When the black clouds disappeared completely, and the golden light also retracted backwards, Xu Zhuo's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned around to look, and saw that the golden light in the sky was all pointing to a point, which was the master of Zhenru who was about to leave.

Seeing the golden light being inhaled into his body by Master Zhenru, Xu Zhuo's eyes widened, and his heart was shocked.

The scene just now was simply full of fantasy, he thought that he would only see it in novels and TV, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes in reality.

At first, he suspected that this was a deliberate illusion created by the Great Bodhi Temple in order to increase the popularity of Master Zhenru, but he immediately denied it.

Because it is too easy to be exposed, it will cause fatal damage to the reputation of Master Zhenru and even the entire Great Bodhi Temple, and the Great Bodhi Temple will never be so stupid.

And most of the people present in the situation just now ...... It can even be said that no one else noticed it at all, and this thing naturally has no effect.

Then this can only prove that the situation just now really happened between Master Zhenru and the strange black cloud, and there is no falsehood.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo's gaze at Master Zhenru suddenly became strange.

Could it be true that Ji Yan said before that "Master Zhenru has some special abilities"?

Thinking of Ji Yan, Xu Zhuo reacted suddenly, took his eyes off Master Zhenru, and turned his head to see that Ji Yan had indeed been stopped by two monks and two policemen.

However, Ji Yan did not give up, waved to Master Zhenru from afar, and raised his press card with his other hand, indicating that he was not a crazy fan of Master Zhenru.

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhuo wiped a cold sweat, hurriedly trotted over, and pulled Ji Yan.

"Forget it, there's obviously no chance now. There are other colleagues here, so beware of us being in the news. ”

Hearing Xu Zhuo's words, Ji Yan looked left and right, and saw that the monks and policemen blocking in front of her had serious expressions, and they didn't have the slightest intention of giving way, so they could only sigh helplessly, intending to give up for the time being.

But just as the two turned around and were about to leave, a small novice ran down from the high platform and chased after them.

"Two donors, please stay!"

Xu Zhuo and Ji Yan turned their heads in amazement.

"Two donors......" Xiao Shami ran all the way over, but he didn't look out of breath, and it seemed that he was usually exercising well.

He first glanced at Ji Yan, his little face flushed with a hint of shame, and then turned his head to look at Xu Zhuo, but his expression became very puzzled. After a pause, he continued: "Master Zhenru wants to invite the two donors to talk, I wonder if the two donors are willing?" “

Ji Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and then she grabbed Xu Zhuo's arm and nodded vigorously.

"Of course I do!"
