The sun is rising, and it's a new day.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the backyard of the monk's house in Qinglian Temple in Yuzhou City, Wen Bodhisattva slowly opened his eyes.

I saw him exhale a breath of turbidity, and then a white air flow shot out of his mouth, directly looking at him for several meters, and making a sound of breaking the air in the air.

It took two or three minutes for this white to gradually dissipate, which was quite weird.

"The ninety-ninth floor of the foundation building period has been completed!"

Wen Bodhisattva breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground.

He is 108 years old this year, and he is a 108-year-old man, which is considered a long life. But even if you live a long life, you should not be old.

But Wen Bodhisattva's appearance looks like he is just a sixty-year-old man, not very old.

His eyes were not cloudy, but bright.

Compared to physical strength and energy, he was now more able to defeat the Eighteen Bronze Formation of Qinglian Temple alone. It can even break the bronze formation in two minutes, the shortest time.

Up and down the Qinglian Temple, no one disobeys the Bodhisattva.

"In this life, thanks to Master. Otherwise, I would have been buried in the earth by now, reduced to a pile of bones. ”

Wen Bodhisattva muttered to himself, and thought of the young man who was immortal and immortal, and did not know how long he had lived.

"But I still have to die after all, unless, as Master said, break through the foundation building period."

"Although it is now the ninety-ninth floor, the last layer is even more difficult than all the hardships experienced before. I don't have a clue now, I don't know how to break through that last layer, and I haven't even touched the threshold of the innate realm. ”

Wen Bodhisattva shook his head and frowned deeply.

He didn't feel happy because he had broken through the ninety-ninth layer, on the contrary, he was distressed.

Yi Feng once told him that he still had more than ten years to live. If he can't break through the foundation building period and reach the innate realm in the past ten years, he will die.

"Let's go down the mountain, don't enter the world to practice, stay in the mountain every day. What can I do when I receive pilgrims and be worshipped by them, I am not a true bodhisattva. ”

Wen Bodhisattva sighed and decided to go down the mountain today, visit Yi Feng first, and then travel around the world for a few years.

Even though it's still early, it's just before eight o'clock in the morning. But outside the monk's house, there were already many pilgrims kneeling down.

Since the last time Wen Bodhisattva said that he would increase the number of people he received to 100 people a day, more and more people wanted to come to visit him.

Wen Bodhisattva returned to his monk's house, and by this time he had already changed his robe and put on civilian clothes.

His civilian clothes were two sets of gray tunics, which were given to him by Yi Feng before leaving. These two sets of clothes have been put away for decades, and he is not willing to throw them away.

"After being a monk for so many years, there are only these two clothes, lightweight."

Wen Bodhisattva chuckled, and took out three bank cards from the secret compartment under the bed, these three bank cards were the money he had saved for so many years, there were 30 million.

He smiled and took out two gold ingots from the dark compartment. These two gold ingots were left over from the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention the price of this gold ingot itself, even its history, it is enough to become an antique.

After packing the garment, the two gold ingots, and some loose things, Wen Bodhisattva opened the door of the monk's house.

When the pilgrims and the monks who maintained order outside saw the door open and Wen Bodhisattva standing at the door, they were stunned.

In the past, when I heard the Bodhisattvas, they were all wearing robes, looking like fairy wind bones.

Although Wen Bodhisattva did not shave off his long beard, with his long gray hair, he was still a fairy wind bone. But after he put on the tunic suit, he looked almost the same as the old men outside, and he didn't look like a monk.

"Master, you are ......"

One of the warrior monks, seeing Wen Bodhisattva carrying a burden, couldn't help but come over and ask.

"I'm leaving Qinglian Temple and going down the mountain to travel."

Wen Bodhisattva stood with his hands in his hands and said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and everyone was boiling. Hearing the news that the Bodhisattva was leaving, it immediately spread throughout the entire Qinglian Temple.

In the end, the current abbot and several elders of Qinglian Temple were alarmed, and they hurriedly ran outside the monk's house and knelt on the ground.

"Uncle Shi, where are you going?"

The abbot knelt on the ground and asked in trepidation.

Wen Bodhisattva is the symbol of Qinglian Temple, and he is the soul of Qinglian Temple, how can he go. If he leaves, the pilgrims in the future of Qinglian Temple may be more than ten times less.

Several other elders in the temple also persuaded each other, hoping that Wen Bodhisattva would not leave Qinglian Temple.

"Well, get up, all of you."

Wen Bodhisattva saw them like this, and he was also a little reluctant. After all, he has lived in this temple for decades and has made it his home.

"I went down the mountain this time to travel and enter the WTO."

"I haven't been down the mountain for decades, how can I know the suffering of the world if I don't join the world? I don't know the suffering of the world, I don't know the various states of life, how can I help others? That's not a mistake. ”

Wen Bodhisattva sighed as he spoke.

"But Uncle Shi, you are the soul of our Qinglian Temple, and you are our spiritual pillar. Besides, these pilgrims still need you, and if you leave, they will not have no hope. ”

The abbot was still persuading, saying that he was unwilling to let Wen Bodhisattva leave.

"Yes, Immortal Master Wen, we all need your advice, you better not leave Qinglian Temple!"

Those pilgrims also persuaded at this time.

When the Bodhisattva saw this, he knew that he was not going to leave today.

He sighed:

"I'm going to see the Buddha one day, and when I pass away, won't you recite the Buddha and purify all sentient beings?"

Wen Bodhisattva looked at Qinglian Temple and others who were kneeling on the ground, and taught them:

"Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, and in this temple, each of us is also equal."

"I'm just a little longer than you, but that doesn't mean I'm Dharma-profound. There is a Buddha in the heart, and everyone is a Buddha. ”

"What you have to do is not to be lazy and to study the Dharma in the temple. If you have time to go out and walk around and see what life is all about, then you will be qualified to cross people. ”

After hearing what the Bodhisattva said, he looked at the pilgrims again and said lightly:

"The reason why you have come to see me is that I want me to show you a clear path."

"It's because most of you can't let go, can't forget, can't ask for it, think too much, and can't think about it. Most of you have a greedy heart and a lazy body. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people lowered their heads one after another, and some complained that Wen Bodhisattva's speech was not good.

"Don't think that I don't speak well, the Buddha can guide you to the clear path, but he can't give you a good future. A good future needs to be created by yourselves. ”

Wen Bodhisattva saw that he was leaving, and was ready to enlighten everyone one last time.

"I want my family to be safe, I want to be safe for myself, and I want to have a smooth ride for the rest of my life. Then you have to do good! Accumulate virtue! ”

"Don't think that it's useless to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and don't think that the saying 'there is a god with three feet above your head' is false."

"Only those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue will be happy, and only noble people will help them."

After hearing these words, the Bodhisattva stopped speaking, stepped out of the monk's house, and prepared to leave.

"Say goodbye, we'll meet again!"

Wen Bodhisattva arched his hand, made a river and lake salute, and walked out of the front yard of the monastery without looking back. Stepping out of the gate of Qinglian Temple, walking down the steps of Qinglian Temple, after several decades, once again entered the world.

All the disciples of Qinglian Temple, as well as the pilgrims who came, came to the gate one after another, and watched the figure of Wen Bodhisattva go away.

……

After descending the mountain, although Wen Bodhisattva had changed his clothes, many people still recognized him and followed Wen Bodhisattva's steps all the way.

Not long after, Wen Bodhisattva was already followed by five or six hundred people.

He sighed and immediately turned an intersection.

When those people also followed closely, they didn't even see the person who heard the Bodhisattva, and they didn't even see his shadow.

After arriving at a park, Wen Bodhisattva took a short rest, and not long after he sat down, his mobile phone rang.

This phone is an old phone, and it is basically useless in normal times. Because the temple pays attention to the purity of the six roots, Wen Bodhisattva did not use a mobile phone.

"Hello?" After he connected his phone, he asked directly.

"Yo, old man, I didn't expect your phone to go through. I'm also going to ask someone to pick you up in person if you can't get through on the phone. ”

On the other end of the phone, there was also an old man's voice, listening to this voice, the person on the other side should be not young.

Wen Bodhisattva smiled faintly, and he could already tell who the person opposite was.

"It's Lao Wang, why did you call someone to pick me up? I've already come down the mountain to travel, and if you want to pick me up, I'm afraid you won't be able to pick me up. Wen Bodhisattva said.

When the person on the other end of the phone heard this, he was surprised:

"You're coming down the mountain? That's a rare thing. ”

"But just right, you should still be in Yuzhou City. I have nine days to celebrate my ninetieth birthday, and I will hold a birthday banquet in your Yuzhou City, you won't appreciate my face, right? ”

Wen Bodhisattva smiled:

"That's a coincidence, I just came down the mountain today, and since you're going to have a big birthday, then I can't help but appreciate your face."

"But aren't you in Kyoto, why did you run so far to Yuzhou City to celebrate your birthday?"

The old man on the other end of the phone paused and said:

"Some time ago, my mentor called me, and I learned that my mentor was in Yuzhou. So this time, I want to hold a birthday banquet in Yuzhou City and have a good reunion with my teacher, I miss him so much. ”

Wen Bodhisattva's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed:

"Okay, it's rare for you to have this filial piety, in fact, I'm going to visit Master first."

"In that case, then the three of us have a chance to get together."

"By the way, when are you going to have a big birthday?"

The old man on the opposite side said:

"It's the day after tomorrow, next Tuesday."
