Senior Brother Ben Chang was sad and ashamed for talking about the cultivator's cultivation, and Yifeng and the others shook their heads one after another, and said, "Senior Brother Ben Chang, you will always be our elder brother. ”

Xiu Gu said: "Senior Brother Ben Chang, you are the best!"

The fire monkey said indignantly: "Senior Brother Ben Chang, when I practice my supernatural powers again, sooner or later I will have to teach those bastards a lesson!"

And Yifeng pondered for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Benchang, I will definitely find a way to change your cultivation qualifications, and then you can continue to cultivate!"

Senior Brother Ben Chang's eyes widened: "Really? Is there really such a way to defy the sky?"

Yifeng and the senior brothers glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

The light in Senior Brother Benchang's eyes gradually dissipated, and he said gloomily: "Thank you for your comfort, Senior Brother and Senior Brother understand." ”

Yifeng stopped talking, and what he was determined to do would be solemnly put in his heart.

At this time, Elder Lifa shouted, "Silence!"

The chaotic discussion in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to the elders on the stage.

Yifeng heard this voice very familiarly, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be the voice that had just been transmitted.

When his voice reverberates with the huge bell, it will spread throughout the entire Lingyun Mountain, and steadily reach everyone's ears, although Elder Fa's previous remarks at the Buddha Peak are very bad, but his profound cultivation is really not to be underestimated.

Elder Lifa stepped back slightly, giving way to Master Abbot.

Master Abbot's blazing gaze stared at the cultivation disciples of Nanzong Temple from left to right, nodded slightly, and said:

"The disciples of Nanzong Temple, the heavens are prosperous, the Buddha's fortune is strong, the great martial arts are inside, and the Buddha's light is shining. It is the time when my Buddha is in the eight directions and spreads the Dharma to all the people.

"Emperor Wu Tianwei, deterring the demons, giving heavenly grace, and promoting Buddhism is the luck of my Buddhism, and it is the blessing of all people. Confucianism and Taoism, the avenue of initiation, benefit the common people, and the cause and effect are combined.

"Today, Emperor Wu has ruled martial arts, eliminated heresies, and specially opened a conference on Taoism, describing the merits of the three religions, and establishing the orthodoxy of the three ways.

"This is the blessing of all sentient beings, and I Buddhism should be generous to repay the grace of heaven.

"All the disciples are the light of my Buddhism, willing to be the light of all sentient beings, and I hope that all the disciples will be righteous and do their best.

"With this selection, we can increase our cultivation, consolidate our faith, step on the Buddhism to cultivate the right path, and carry forward the Dharma of the heavens!

"Buddha bless, Amitabha. ”

Master Abbot's voice was strong, although he was old, but he was subdued and frustrated, generous and powerful, all the disciples listened solemnly, and their hearts were shocked, and some disciples felt and burst into tears.

Elder Lifa waited for a moment, waited for the abbot master's signal, and then stepped forward and said, "The abbot's training is the blessing of my generation. At the Junzhou Discussion Conference, our generation must go all out to promote Buddhism.

"The conference is scheduled to be held in early July this year, and today, the gathering is equivalent to announcing the selection rules.

"As agreed by the Council of Elders, the selection will be divided into two phases. ”

He glanced at all the disciples, all of them were listening intently, and he nodded with satisfaction: "The first stage, the selection of the Stele Forest Secret Realm. In the secret realm of the stele forest, there are many dangers, and there must be corresponding cultivation to turn the danger into a disaster.

"Therefore, the purpose of the Council of Elders in formulating this selection is to select the top disciples of the First Realm, who have the ability to face the dangers in the secret realm, and moreover, the Junzhou Dao Conference has its own rules, and there will be no cross-border realm fighting situation. As long as the disciples we select are good enough, then they will not suffer in the Discourse Conference.

"At the same time, the age should not be too old, otherwise the selection, going to Junzhou can only make people say that we rely on the old and sell the old, we are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and think that there is no one in our Nanzong Temple, and it will become a joke in Junzhou City.

Therefore, for these reasons, each house and each peak selects and sends a list of eligible persons under the age of 30, and it must be examined and approved by the Council of Elders, and published in five days.

"The selection task of the Forest of Steles Secret Realm is to find a route in the secret realm, pass through various obstacles in the secret realm, and reach the pagoda in the center of the secret realm, and select the top 80 as the first stage of the pass. ”

As soon as Elder Lifa's words fell, the audience immediately discussed and buzzed.

"Eighty, so few?"

"This is just the first stage, and I don't know how much will be left in the end. ”

"I've never been to a secret realm, is it fun?"

"I heard from my senior brother that it is very dangerous, and I may be worried about my life······"

Elder Lifa waved his arm, and the discussion stopped for a moment, and Elder Lifa nodded: "Regarding the first stage of selection, there are some explanations: First, the temple will be equipped with ten Mahayana realm elders to enter the secret realm together to prevent subversive disasters, but the elders will not interfere with the disciples' execution of tasks.

"Second, in order to further ensure fairness, the way to enter the secret realm this time is different from the previous one, it is a random entry, that is, those who enter the secret realm before and after will not be teleported to the same place in the secret realm, maybe the difference between the two is a hundred miles, and the same is true for the ten elders.

"This is to prevent some disciples from forming alliances and grouping in advance, or disciples from colluding with the elders who enter it in private, even if this list of people entering the secret realm is approved by the Council of Elders and kept secret in advance, it needs to be just in case.

"Third, it should be noted that the secret realm is not a good place, and it may face countless disasters and dangers, and even die, reaching the Buddha's light realm does not mean that it will be safe and sound, and those who are not firm in their beliefs should not go, and each academy and peak should carefully consider this point when reporting the list. ”

At this time, a voice in the team of the Elders' House said: "Elder Fa, let us go even though it is so dangerous, is it worth it to die for nothing for the sake of a mere selection?"

Elder Fa stopped and looked at where the voice came from, it was an ordinary cultivator disciple of the Spirit Cultivation Peak, and the other disciples all turned their eyes to Elder Fa.

Elder Lifa nodded, and it was rare that he seemed to have thought of this problem, and he was not angry at his rudeness.

He could see that the other disciples had the same doubts, so he spoke, "It seems that you don't know where the secret realm of the Stele Forest is. The secret realm of the stele forest, since the predecessors of my Nanzong Temple have been able to open up the secret realm, in the past thousand years, its biggest role is to experience. The experience can assist the disciple in cultivating the magic power of the exercises, and even help him break through the bottleneck of cultivation. ”

Elder Lifa's voice sank, and he said: "The Great Dao of Cultivation has always been full of hardships and sufferings, life and death are unknown, and there is absolutely no one who can cultivate the Great Dao in peace and stability! Once you step into the Great Dao of Cultivation, you should have the consciousness of putting life and death out of the way! Not to mention that I am a member of the Buddhist Sect, for the sake of all sentient beings, how can I care about life and death? The cycle of life and death is the foundation of my Buddhist Dao, so what can I fear about it!"

The eyes of all the disciples began to change eagerly, and the disciple who asked the question lowered his head.

Elder Lifa continued: "Since the Stele Forest Secret Realm has the effect of assisting cultivation and even breaking through bottlenecks, the risks brought by it will of course increase exponentially.

"The most important thing in the practice of Buddhism is the Buddha's heart, followed by cultivation, the secret realm of the stele forest is to be tested, it is whether the Buddha's heart is firm, whether the cultivation is solid, if there are none, how to practice!?"

When Yifeng heard this, his impression of Elder Fa changed greatly.

Although he is very obsessed with the secret books of supernatural powers and the benefits of money and food in the temple, he does have a very deep understanding of the way of cultivating Buddhism, so it is no wonder that his cultivation is so deep.

"It's pretty good, huh!" the fire monkey pouted disdainfully.

Yifeng's heart moved, yes, maybe Elder Fa was pretending to be like this? Since he had such a deep understanding of Buddhism and Taoism cultivation, why couldn't he let go of things outside his body?

Elder Lifa's tone changed, and he became even more aggressive: "That's the Junzhou Dao Conference, should you be a playhouse?!" The cultivation powerhouses of the various sects of the entire Great Martial Country, and the cultivation geniuses of the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, will all gather together, like a dragon crossing the sea, and each showing his magical powers.

"Nanzong Temple, as one of the pillars of the Buddhist practice of the Great Martial Kingdom, should we casually send a waste who has neither faith nor cultivation to make jokes?!"

Everyone was silent, perhaps because many disciples of Nanzong Temple had grown up under the care of their masters and brothers since they were children, and they never felt that cultivation was a solemn mission and duty, let alone any risk, or even danger to their lives.

They are just cultivating, and why they are cultivating, of course, they have their own thoughts.

However, the secret realm of the stele forest is one of the important magic weapons why Nanzong Temple has supported nearly a thousand years, only by allowing the disciples to truly experience life and death, and see through life and death, can they truly integrate the belief in Buddhism and cultivation, and uphold the Buddha's heart and practice avenue.

Without risks and costs, would it be so easy to survive the catastrophe?

Hearing this, Ben Chang turned to look at Yifeng and the others, Yifeng's face was very calm, and he was not frightened by Elder Fa's words in the slightest.

The fire monkey and the book ceremony, one scratched his ears and cheeks in a casual gesture, and the other carried his hands with an indifferent expression, and he didn't care.

Xiugu's big eyes are looking around, and it is not certain whether she listens to it or not.

On the stage, Elder Lifa looked at the abbot, whose face was calm and nodded at him.

Elder Lifa smiled at this time, and his tone softened: "You don't need to be too alarmed, every disciple is the precious wealth of Nanzong Temple, and there is no reason to worship and bury the wealth."

"The temple has made sufficient preparations for this selection, and it is just necessary to be vigilant and careful. What's more, there are still a lot of treasures to collect in the secret realm, and it is also a very good treasure hunting operation, and if you are lucky, you may be able to obtain rare spiritual treasures!"

Everyone understood that a place with treasures would definitely be more dangerous, but everyone nodded silently, reluctantly claiming the comfort of Elder Fa.

Elder Lifa continued, "There are still some specific rules left, which will be conveyed by the elders of each courtyard and peak on their behalf, so I won't go into detail here. ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "Next, we will announce the selection for the second stage of the Junzhou Daoist Conference: Fighting Law Contest Selection!"
