Lingyun Temple, the inner hall, an empty square.

In the middle of the square, there is a square pool, in which the water seems a little cloudy, with the occasional few small fish swimming around, the sun shining from the sky, and at the bottom of the pool, there are many coins reflecting a faint light.

In the four corners of the square, there are four incense burners.

The white smoke that slowly drifted from inside kept ......

Let the whole square be filled with a fragrance.

This square is a place for pilgrims to play and monks to practice martial arts.

Now, the atmosphere here is unusually strange.

Dozens of monks stood neatly in the square.

The master of the lamp was standing next to Ye Bei with a respectful face.

"Patriarch, Yideng has prepared a Buddha banquet for you, can you go now?"

"No, you don't." Ye Bei's voice was faint.

As he spoke, his deep eyes gently scanned the temple.

Decades have passed......

The changes here are quite significant.

Once the pool was crystal clear, with lotus flowers and swimming fish, it seemed quiet and peaceful.

And now, this pool is full of coins, and there are too many worldly stains, and it has quietly changed its taste.

Once upon a time in this temple, the monks were dressed in rags, but their expressions were calm, as if nothing would be tainted by mundane things......

Now, on the other hand, the number of monks is still the same, and they are also young, but their clothes are brand new, and their eyes have become more complex, and they have become more deeply contaminated with this world.

Seeing Ye Bei didn't return.

Master One Light was a little embarrassed.

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to find a topic, and his voice was still excited: "Ancestor! In fact, decades ago, Master said that you would come. ”

Well?

The words fell.

In the square, the other monks immediately held their breath.

Master of One Lamp Master.

That was the previous abbot......

That abbot is said to have lived for more than 190 years, leaving countless legends during this time.

It's just that......

These monks can't figure it out at the moment, what is the relationship between the abbot and the young man in front of him?

"I know! In the Lingyun Palace, the golden Buddha has some materials in it, which are made from his bones......" Ye Bei nodded lightly, as if he was just telling a fact.

"What?"

"The Golden Buddha, is it the bones of the old abbot?"

"This ......"

After hearing this, many monks were shocked, and they couldn't help but say.

But the master of a lamp, his body trembled more and more.

If he still had a trace of doubt before......

Now, deep in his heart, there is no doubt at all.

When he looked at Ye Bei, he completely regarded him as an ancestor, and his demeanor became more respectful.

"The patriarch is right! In fact, not only the master, our Lingyun Temple, after the death of each abbot, will let the apprentices grind their bones into powder and make them into the golden Buddha in the main hall. Master Yilan said seriously.

Beside them, those monks, after hearing this, their eyes widened, as if they had figured out what the situation was.

Some people's eyes became even more confused after hearing this...... The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt.

"Well, are things ready?"

The reaction of those people around him, Ye Bei completely ignored.

After taking a general look at the temple, he withdrew his gaze, put it on the master of the lamp, and spoke leisurely.

"Ancestor, it's ready, it's been ready for decades, all these years, a lamp has been waiting for you, I originally thought that I didn't want to see it in this life! Looking at it now, Yideng is still very lucky. Master Yideng did not hesitate: "It's just that that thing is inherited by the master, and he once said that in the world, only you, the ancestor, can open it!" That thing, right now in my burrow! ”

"Okay."

Ye Bei cherishes words like gold.

"Ancestor, I'll get a lamp for you?" A light then spoke.

Ye Bei shook his head: "No, since the Buddha banquet is ready, let's eat first!" ”

"Yes, Patriarch!" Yilan bent down, and then shouted at the monks next to him, "Have you notified the back kitchen?" When it's ready, let them bring all the food to the living room......"

"Yes, Master Abbot."

"Yes!"

The monks spoke one after another.

At the same time, they moved quickly......

Together, they trotted in the direction of the back kitchen.

On the road.

There were some young monks, trotting and talking.

"What is the matter with the abbot calling that person the ancestor? Which of you knows the situation? A young monk touched the back of his head and asked curiously.

"In the compound just now, the abbot said that the old abbot had predicted it! Saying that this young man will come, I guess that the young man's elders may have some relationship with the old abbot! ”

"I don't feel like I'm reliable! Who are our abbots? is a real master, even if some real top dignitaries and high-ranking officials come over, it depends on his old man's mood! Today, the abbot has performed the greatest etiquette of our Buddhism to this young man, which is simply unreasonable...... How could that young man be able to afford it? Some monks kept shaking their heads and frowning.

Beside him, someone answered: "What if the young man is not what we imagined, if he is older than the abbot, if he was once the same era as the old abbot?" ”

Hiss!

The words fell.

Many monks gasped violently.

Phoenix!

In my mind, this word immediately came to mind.

Combined with what the abbot said just now......

Not to mention, this kind of speculation is extremely likely.

However, this is really bizarre, they can't believe it at all.

"Impossible."

"That's it...... Even the old abbot is only two hundred years old! He should be the longest-lived man in the world. ”

"It's so bizarre, it's not reliable."

Many monks, the more the discussion became more intense.

"Shut up! What the abbot master did, there must be his intentions, you guess here, it is disrespectful! Just do your part...... What should not be known, there is no need to know. An older monk faltered, glanced at the young monks as he saw them discussing, and his voice was unceremonious.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The group of young monks did not dare to say anything more.

In the temple, what is important is seniority......

This older monk was more qualified than them, and they naturally did not dare to refute it.

It's just that when the young monks left, the older monk opened his mouth and said to himself: "Abbot, abbot, you have a lot of secrets, what is the origin of that young man, worthy of your attention?" ”

……

Inner courtyard, on the square.

Ye Bei stood next to the pool, his eyes leisurely.

At the moment, the whole square was empty, and there was no one else.

"Ancestor, have you ever seen the Taishang Lord?" Master Yideng clasped his hands together, stood on Ye Bei's side, broke the silence, and asked softly.
