The robot monk replied, and his voice was mixed with the unique sound of electricity, coming from under the metal shell: "The monk doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat, let's sit down and talk." But instead of sitting in a chair himself, he hovered cross-legged over a futon.

Shen Fang asked very politely: "Forgive the poor monk for taking the liberty of asking, the master of the courtyard does not look like a mortal, but the Arhat specially sent by the Buddhist sect to take charge of this temple?" ”

The abbot didn't answer, and the old monk next to him explained for him: "Amitabha, the abbot of my temple was originally a mortal fetus with the naked eye, because of many years of painstaking study of Buddhist scriptures, and devout worship of the Buddha, he was finally recognized by the Buddha and cultivated the golden body of Arhat. He said with a smug face, as if it was his own credit.

Shen Fang couldn't help but admire, he had lived in the temple since he was a child, and he had heard such legends. It is a great honor for a monk to be able to cultivate the golden body of an Arhat, not only to increase his life for a hundred years, but also to firmly understand the sea and enter a higher level of meditation than ordinary people.

Although the abbot could not make an expression on his face, his back was straight, and he showed himself very proudly.

Xuanzang and Bailong didn't react much, it was just a lowest-level mechanical shell, and it was ridiculous to see them treat garbage as a treasure. It's just that Xuanzang doesn't hide his contemptuous gaze like Bailong, but feels sorry for these monks when he feels ridiculous.

They don't know that their beliefs are just someone else's control, and they still glorify them in their hearts as they want to believe.

Shenfang and the abbot began to chat, from learning scriptures to talking about Buddhist opinions, and the conversation was very pleasant. The abbot was halfway through the conversation, and suddenly asked in a serious tone: "The senior monk claimed to have been enlightened by Guanyin, so he went to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures. So dare to ask the monk if there is any evidence to prove it? Just because this temple is a Zen temple dedicated to Guanyin, it is really a great wish of life to have the honor to see the true works of Guanyin. ”

Shen Fang knew that under his high-sounding words, he actually suspected himself of impersonation. So he said: "The Bodhisattva appeared in Chang'an at that time, and he personally talked about learning from the scriptures, but he did not leave a pen and ink token. However, a brocade robe and a gun of mercy were given to the poor monk to keep the poor monk safe on the road. ”

After speaking, he got up and walked to the hall to stand still, and his mind moved, and he summoned the true appearance of the brocade robe. He drew the spear of mercy again, transformed into a Zen staff, and held it between his hands.

For a time, the sun was full of light, and the court was full of color. When the monks saw the god who was like the Buddha descending into the world, they were shocked, and they almost couldn't help but worship.

"If it is really a treasure of Buddhism, it is really an eye-opener!" The abbot exclaimed.

After that, he was extremely respectful to Shenfang and talked for a long time, until it was getting late and about to eat, so he reluctantly let them go.

The robot monk watched Shen Fang and his party walk out of the hall before ordering the monk to close the door of the hall and let out a strange lament, like a speaker that was about to run out of power.

"Why is the dean lamenting?" The old monk next to him asked strangely.

The abbot lifted the metal face from between his hands and said depressedly: "I sighed that I had practiced for a lifetime, and I finally got a golden body of an Arhat, and I thought that I had become a leader in Buddhism. I didn't expect this Shenfang monk to be so young, and he received the magic weapon from the Bodhisattva, and he was really higher than me. ”

The old monk was puzzled and said, "Although the robe and Zen staff are beautiful and have some self-defense and persuasion effects, isn't your golden body, abbot, even better?" ”

"You don't know. This golden body is indeed invulnerable, but compared to the brocade robe woven by the ice silkworm god, it is really not worth mentioning. When I obtained the golden body, I saw the Buddhas of the Land of Bliss in the sea of consciousness, and they were wearing the same kind of robes. The one on Shenfang's body, its beauty is probably only under the Buddha and the Bodhisattva. The abbot said bitterly, "How can I not be sad that he has not attained the right results before he has attained the right fruits." ”

The old monk persuaded him: "The abbot doesn't have to mind, now that you have a hundred years of life, why worry about the Dharma to improve again and reach a higher level?" ”

The abbot shook his head and said, "Cultivating Buddha pays attention to fate, and there is a principle of conservation of fate. I'm afraid that my fate is over in this life. ”

A young monk named Guangmou suddenly rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Old dean, do you remember the black bear spirit who often discusses Buddhism with you on the Black Wind Mountain in the south?" ”

The robot monk nodded. Although the black bear spirit is just an animal, it can speak human language, and its intelligence is not low, and he also has a lot of insights into Buddhism.

Guangmou said again: "The little monk remembers that the black bear has mastered some magical powers, and it will make a soul transfer." Why don't we beat the Shenfang monk to death and ask the Black Bear Spirit to help you move your soul into him, so that those two Buddha treasures are not in your pocket? And you can also seek the true scriptures as a god, and when the merit is complete, it will be more favored by the Buddha! ”

After listening to his plan, the abbot thought about it, suddenly felt that it was feasible, and said with a smile: "Brilliant plan! Coup! ”

Another monk named Guangzhi said: "Although this method is wonderful, it still has drawbacks. Of the few people who escorted Shenfang, only one of them was stronger and more difficult to deal with, and the remaining two were thin and weak, and one of them was still a sissy, so it was not a big problem. But Shenfang himself has a robe to protect him, so I'm afraid it's not so easy to kill. Moreover, since they are Guanyin enlightenment, if the Bodhisattva finds out that this group of people has been killed in our Zen monastery, they will definitely not be able to escape severe punishment. ”

The abbot thought for a moment, this is indeed the truth, and couldn't help but knock the metal head in distress.

Guangzhi said: "The abbot doesn't have to bother, the little monk has a plan for this." Now that it was getting late, they had to stay at the temple for the night. We took advantage of his deep sleep in the middle of the night, pretended to catch fire, and burned down the chamber and burned them to the fire. Shenfang has a brocade robe to protect him, and his body will not be damaged too much, and after changing his soul, he can let the black bear spirit heal for a while. So that if they die accidentally, they won't suspect us. ”

"But this temple is very close to each other, the fire spreads very quickly, and there is no water to save it......" the abbot hesitated.

Guangzhi smiled and said, "What's the matter? When the temple is destroyed, we will follow you to Tianzhu and serve as a wrestler to escort the scriptures. ”

Seeing that he had planned carefully, the abbot finally let out a mechanical laugh, urging him to hurry up and bring people to prepare fuel, and asked Guangmou to use the radio station to send a message to Heifeng Mountain, informing the black bear spirit of the night's actions.

On the other side, the white dragon let out a mocking laugh after listening to the conspiracy of these people with her super hearing.

"What's wrong?" Xuanzang on the side asked.

"When the opportunity came, someone else had already chosen the way to die for us. It's cremation, so you don't have to leave the whole body, it's so convenient. Bailong told Xuanzang everything she heard.

Xuanzang thought for a few seconds and muttered: "It's indeed a good opportunity, but with their inspection methods, if they don't leave a corpse, or only a part of the charred corpse, they will eventually be found." ”

"Don't worry about these details, do you think you can still be foolproof in this situation? If you don't go, I'll go by myself, anyway, I'll keep a little corpse for later. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you. However, you must ensure that your stealth measures are effective enough, and after faking your death, Yang Jian will immediately reactivate the prism on me. ”

"Don't worry." After Bai Long finished speaking, he looked Xuanzang up and down, like looking at the meat on the chopping board, "Which part of your body do you want to keep, choose quickly." ”

Xuanzang refused: "No, I don't want to have less meat on my body." Anyway, the fake death will eventually be seen through, and if there is no condition to clone the corpse, this fake death can only delay a little time. ”

"Then get out of here, I'm going to go crazy if I stay in this toilet for another second!"

So they went outside, reconfirmed that they were not being overheard, and walked to the room where Shenfang was.

"But I'm a little concerned about what they say about the black bear spirit." Xuanzang suddenly said, "In such a place so close to the temple, there are monsters with high intelligence, and they are also interested in Buddhism, I really can't imagine what kind of monsters they are." ”

Bailong was not interested at all, and he didn't even bother to answer.

Approaching the door, they saw that Wei Chigong seemed to be standing there waiting early, casting an unkind look at them.
