The fire monkey and the others were led by Monk Hontsune along the large and small stone paths connecting the mountain peaks to the guest room.

When passing through the stele forest, Yifeng felt an abnormality again, but this abnormality was different from the abbot's courtyard, it was more secret and dark, and it was like a pair of eyes, staring at him tightly.

But the strange thing is that neither the senior brother nor the junior sister felt anything wrong.

The sky is dark, all the lights on the stone road are lit, and the incense of the countless overlapping halls, and the lights of the courtyard meditation room reflect each other, feeling that several peaks of Lingyun Mountain are as bright as day, and monks and pilgrims come and go, even at night, it is also a piece of incense flourishing.

Monk Benchang led them and continued to introduce them to the situation of Nanzong Temple.

Before he went to the abbot's courtyard, he just briefly introduced the layout of the courtyard of Nanzong Temple, and he thought that with this inconspicuous incense in a remote corner of Mangnan County, he would only live in Nanzong Temple for a few days at most, as long as he told them the layout of the courtyard, don't run around and get lost.

But after meeting in the Abbot's Academy, he suddenly understood that Shizun and Master Abbot attached great importance to these people, especially the little junior brother, who looked very ordinary, but with his experience of following Master Ran for decades, he had never been so out of shape.

So now he plans to introduce the situation of Nanzong Temple again, and make friends with them, maybe he will have some opportunities for him in the future.

While enjoying the prosperous night view of Nanzong Temple, the fire monkey and others listened to the introduction of Monk Hontsune.

According to Monk Benchang, there are 100,000 monks in Nanzong Temple, but most of them are just ordinary monks, and only a small number of them can be born with wisdom and step into the path of cultivating Buddhism.

And among them, there is a rule inherited from the predecessors of Nanzong Temple, and the cultivators of Nanzong Temple are divided into seven branches, with the seven elders as the leaders, and they are passed down to this generation, and Master Ran is one of them.

On this peak, the courtyards of the seven elders are built separately, and the left and right are surrounded by large and small disciples' courtyards, as well as their own halls, greenhouses, west clean rooms and other houses, but they are not crowded at all.

The elders' houses are very spacious, with meditation rooms for teaching the Fa and scriptures, special places for cultivation, and places for fighting the Fa, so that disciples can improve and gain from each other.

The disciples' courtyard is generally inhabited by the disciples of cultivators, and it is surrounded by some halls and greenhouses, where ordinary monks work and some lay disciples bring over to take care of the diet and daily life of the elders and various cultivators.

The five peaks are connected by large and small satin-like stone paths, but they lead to different places, and important places are guarded by special monks, such as the Forest of Steles, which is very tightly guarded, so it seems sparsely populated.

The fire monkey asked strangely: "No, according to common sense, there should be a lot of people on the road leading to the Abbot's Courtyard, but when we passed today, there was no one to guard it, and there were very few people passing through?"

Monk Benchang replied: "Behind the abbot's courtyard is Lingyunding, which is also the location of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which is the core area of Nanzong Temple. However, as long as you have stayed at Nanzong Temple for a period of time, whether it is the monks of the temple or pilgrims, you will understand that although the small stone path to the abbot's temple is not guarded, except for the regular monks who often come and go, if other people go there at will, they often do not walk in front of the abbot's temple. ”

Shuli became interested and said, "Oh? Why is that?"

Monk Ben Chang said: "This was originally meant to remind you, but along the way, I fell in love with you, and I forgot about it for a while."

"On this road, it is rumored that there is a mountain protection beast Zhenshan, ordinary monks and pilgrims, forced by the deterrence of the beast, will have palpitations and restlessness halfway through, hands and feet are paralyzed, and they can't walk. Even for cultivators, their spiritual power is sluggish, and they can't exert any supernatural powers at all, and they can't detect any abnormalities.

"Therefore, when people come and go to the abbot's house, they need the guidance of the monks who often come and go to this temple in this way, and the divine beast is very spiritual, and can see whether the person has malicious intentions, if there is no malice, and there are people in the temple to lead, in order to go to the abbot's house smoothly. ”

Xiu Gu said excitedly: "I know, it must be a strange beast raised by the abbot, and he asked it to guard the mountain road here." ”

Monk Benchang shook his head and said, "Fei Ye, little junior sister, I have been here for more than forty years, and I have never seen a foreign beast, let alone an abbot raising a foreign beast. ”

The fire monkey smiled: "Those who can't walk the path must be too low in cultivation, I don't believe it, if the monks of the Jade Realm or even the Mahayana Realm can come here, then the strange beast can still hold it? It must be some trap set up on this small stone path mountain path, but out of thin air a strange beast is moved out of thin air to bluff people!"

Before Monk Benchang could refute, Yifeng replied first: "No, Second Senior Brother, I seem to feel that there is a pair of eyes staring at me in the abbot's courtyard, not like human eyes. ”

Monk Benchang glanced at Yifeng, nodded and said: "This is also where the old man thinks that this little junior brother is different from ordinary people, the old man led many people to the abbot's courtyard, and no one has ever been able to detect the abnormality, but this Feng junior brother can quickly perceive it, the power of this divine consciousness is extraordinary, I am afraid that the divine soul is very powerful."

"As for those who tried to go to the abbot's monastery alone, it was true, it wasn't just the cultivators of the Hinayana realm. There was once a high monk from the peak of the Jade Riding Realm of the Northern Sect, heard this legend, did not listen to the dissuasion, had to go alone, the result directly led the divine beast to show its true body, in front of the abbot's courtyard a vicious fight, the entire Lingyun Mountain is like the ground shaking the mountain, if it is not for the Venerable of the Nanzong Temple to mediate, it is estimated that even the Buddha Peak will be split in half. ”

Yifeng and the others were all surprised, they were all the first time they had heard of the fighting deeds of the high monks of the Jade Riding Realm, and they didn't even have a chance to see Master Guangchen's shot, so the fire monkey asked, "Is this really true?"

Monk Ben Chang said: "This is the personal experience of Master Ran when he was young, he never spoke at the old man, and he did not make mistakes. ”

Xiu Gu pouted: "If no one comes out to persuade you, won't this Chao Buddha Peak really be split in half?"

The monk puffed up his chest and smiled a little proudly: "How can it be like this, not to mention that there are leaders and elders of the Nanzong Temple and their generation of junior brothers, all of whom are monks in the Mahayana realm, and in the deep mountains and forests around Lingyunding, there are also Venerables of the Mahayana realm who hide in it all year round and cultivate, and they are also guarding Lingyun Mountain, how can they make people come nonsense." The foundation of the Southern Sect Temple for nearly a thousand years, except for the Northern Sect, there is no Buddhist temple in the world that can surpass it!"

Yifeng everyone was surprised in their hearts, although Yunzhou is only a state of the Great Wu Kingdom, but the calligraphers, Nanzong, Xuanyin Sect, and Nine Dragons in this region are all the leaders of the cultivation sects.

Yifeng imagined how happy he would be if he could go to Junzhou to participate in the Dao Conference and see the world!

While speaking, the monk Ben Chang led the fire monkey and others to the Buddha Peak, although the abbot master and the master of the Buddha were more ambiguous about their attitude, but before the master of the Buddha did not have a clear attitude, he still led them to the Buddha Peak where the ordinary monks lived.

Of course, the arrangement is also a good guest room on the Buddha Peak, with a separate courtyard and a relatively clean house.

Monk Benchang first came to a courtyard of the Buddha Peak, discussed with the monks who managed to receive and treat the guests of the wandering monks and laymen, arranged them properly, handed over the keys, and went to the courtyard where the fire monkeys and others were housed.

The road to the secluded courtyard is also relatively remote, and there are few people coming and going.

A few people on the road excitedly discussed the rumors just now, and the novelties they saw along the way, especially Xiugu, giggling non-stop.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared on the road ahead, a mixture of monks and laymen, about a dozen or so.

The leader is a pretty little girl, with black hair, a pointed chin, shallow eyebrows, and a small beauty mole at the corner of her mouth.

The monk who was originally walking in front of the fire monkey and the others and guiding them in the way, after seeing them, suddenly turned around without saying a word and walked behind, his steps hurried.

Before the fire monkey and the others could react, the little girl who was meeting in front of them found him, raised her eyebrows, and shouted at him: "Monk Benchang, where are you drilling?"

The monk pretended not to hear it, and wanted to hide behind.

A monk behind the little girl flew up, instantly came to the side of the monk Benchang, grabbed the shoulder of the monk Benchang, and pulled him back.

The monk turned his spiritual power, took his shoulder, and hit the monk, the monk seemed to slap it with his hand casually, the golden light in the palm of his hand flashed, and with a bang, the monk fell out.

The fire monkey has quick eyes and hands, and he holds the monk Benchang.

Monk Honjo nodded gratefully and straightened up and stood still.

The fire monkey and Shuli looked angrily at the monk who flew over, and the troublesome little girl, and Yifeng and Xiugu also widened their eyes.

Only then did they see clearly that the monk who had flown over to attack Ben Chang was about thirty years old, with a strong body, a face full of flesh, and his face and head were shiny with oil, reflecting the lights on the side of the road, and his eyes were looking at them with disdain.

But the little girl walked over with a smile and said to Monk Ben Chang: "Monk Ben Chang, has you been sent by Master Ran to be a foot monk again?" Alas, I already knew that I had asked Master Zun to persuade Master Ran and let him pass on a few more magic powers to you."

"Although you have stopped at the bottom of the Jade Realm in this life, you can at least have two more means of self-defense, so that you will not be able to defeat the senior brother who is still at the peak of the Hinayana realm, if you continue like this, be careful of encountering vicious villains outside, and you will not be able to come back!"
