The ghost clan itself is a race similar to the legend, the earliest history should be in view of the wild history, according to legend, a monk walked outside the secluded capital, at night, suddenly heard a knock outside the window, then opened the door, saw a strange woman, beautiful face, but floating on the ground, the monk thought that he had met a ghost, hurriedly chaotic, took out the magic weapon to subdue, but saw the golden light into his body, but failed to hurt her at all. The woman claimed to be a member of the ghost clan, living in the secluded capital all the year round, accompanied by a ghost, she came to visit the priest, because she gave birth to a son, and there was mortal blood in his body, which was born to her and a mortal scholar, and she was afraid of being hunted down and killed by the clan, so she asked the priest to take in the child.

After that, the following of this legend is gone, the whereabouts of this child, the traces of the ghost clan, are also missing, and the ghost clan has not invaded the supernatural circle, and in modern society, it has completely become a legend.

If it weren't for the fact that I knew the black old ghost, I would have thought that the ghost clan was just a legend.

This legendary secluded capital is now the capital of Xudu, located on the edge of Chongqing, is a very beautiful tourist resort, but this is only on the surface, the reason why the capital is called a ghost city, is not without reason.

Because, there is another side to the drunkenness, which is very scary!

But if you want to enter the real Xudu, it is not that simple, first you have to get the permission of the supernatural world, and this permission comes from the White Horse Temple.

The White Horse Temple is the first Zen temple built in China, known as the world's Garan, built in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is said that there is a story about the establishment of the White Horse Temple. It is said that Buddhism came to China to promote religion, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was reluctant to absorb Buddhism, because from the Western Han Dynasty, the two Han Dynasty pursued the art of Huang Lao, which was mainly Taoism. But that night, Hsinjong had a dream in which he saw a monk wearing a golden robe and emitting boundless brilliance from his whole body, claiming to be a Buddha.

Xianzong woke up the next day and immediately ordered the construction of the White Horse Temple, to this day, the first ancient temple in China still exists, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the incense every year, of course, in our supernatural circle, the White Horse Temple represents the highest status of the entire Zen Buddhism, among which there is the master of empty purity.

The origin of the empty purity is unknown, and the age should not be very old, but it is said to be a living Buddha, and the words are real, and there is Buddhism between the words, which is very amazing.

The reason why you have to ask for the consent of the White Horse Temple before entering the temple is also because the true side of the entire capital is sealed by the White Horse Temple, and there is a huge Buddhist barrier around it.

I didn't want to provoke such a giant to attack me, so I obediently went to the White Horse Temple once, ready to meet Master Kongjing and meet this legendary monk.

The White Horse Temple is located in the east of the old city of Luoyang, which is actually very close to the Luoyang Demon Clan, but the two forces do not interfere with each other, do not invade each other, and it is said that the two sides are also very friendly.

When I arrived at the White Horse Temple, I saw that there were a lot of people burning incense, and there was an endless stream of people, and many of the people who came and went were people from our circle.

After I entered the White Horse Temple, the blessing of Tolo Xing said hello, and a few small novices led me to the meditation room of the head of the house, and entered the backyard of the White Horse Temple, which is the real place where monks practice.

Ordinary people entering the temple, no matter how big or small, first have two feelings, the first is quiet, and the second is solemnity.

When I say quiet, I don't mean that there is no one around you to speak, but that the mind seems to have been recuperated, which has something to do with the smell of burning incense wafting in the Buddhist gate, and it is also related to your own state of mind. The second is solemnity, especially the main halls of the true Buddha such as the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Medicine King Hall, and so on, as soon as you enter, there is a particularly solemn feeling.

In the eyes of our group of spiritually aware people, we will find that the more advanced the Dharma, the more characteristic there are around the temple, the first is that there are a lot of lonely souls and wild ghosts, especially at night, because each temple will hold a regular transcendence ceremony, and many lonely souls and wild ghosts are not willing to be reincarnated, and if they want to be transcended and ascend to Elysium, they will wait near the temple, waiting for the transcendence ceremony to begin. The second is that there is a golden Buddha power surrounding, this Buddha power is like a ghost, the underworld is full of ghosts, the temple is full of Buddha power, this Buddha power will affect people's state of mind, people can't help but have worship and admiration.

Along the way, I saw a lot of devout believers, these believers burn incense, kneel down, kowtow and chant, for modern people, what they are seeking is just temporary wealth, in fact, sincerity or insincerity, more or less related to whether there is an effect.

A few small novices took me to the empty meditation room, I was about to knock on the door, but I saw the door of the meditation room open by itself, and then I saw a very strong golden Buddha power coming from inside, it felt as if I had really entered the Great Lei Yin Temple!

A monk wearing a white monk's robe, holding a Buddhist bead in his hand, and smiling like a spring breeze walked out of it, with a face like a Buddha, extremely long ears, a bright forehead, and a flat back of his head.

I hurriedly bowed slightly: "Junior disciple, Duanmu Sen, meet Master Kongjing." ”

Sora Jing smiled slightly, grabbed my hand, and pulled me to the edge of the stone table, where a pot of tea and two cups had already been placed.

"You don't have to be too polite, just drink a cup of tea with me when you come."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for me, not a very expensive tea set, nor how expensive tea leaves, or even a simple brew, but when the tea fell into my cup, there was a particularly fresh tea fragrance coming to my nose, I drank the tea in the cup, and then said sincerely: "Good tea, good tea, thank you Master Kongjing, this is really a good pot of tea." ”

The Master of Empty Purity smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "You come to smell it again." ”

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the teapot, and I looked over to smell it, and although the heat coming out of the teapot also had the fragrance of tea, it was not as fresh as it had just been, which puzzled me.

Stretched out his hand and poured himself a cup, and when I drank it, the taste was different from the first cup just now, which made me even more strange, and I asked: "Master of Empty Purity, why is it all a pot of tea, but when you poured it for me just now, I drank it very fresh, but I poured it for myself, but I didn't feel this way?" ”

As soon as I said this, the smile on the face of the Master of Air Purification remained unchanged, and he stretched out his hand and added a third cup of tea to my teacup, and the aroma of the tea became very fresh again, and after I drank it, the mellow feeling returned, which made me more and more strange.

"Actually, the fragrance of tea has not changed, but your own mood has changed, you are confused by the surface, thinking that the tea I pour must be very delicious and fragrant, in fact, you are just blinded by yourself. If you can see through the fog, you will be able to see that there is no difference between the tea I pour and the tea you pour. If you can turn this state of mind upside down, you may be able to pour a cup of fragrant tea for others. ”

What he said was very mysterious, and I heard it very mysterious, and I knew that there was a true meaning in it, but I didn't understand it.

Therefore, I simply didn't bother with the question of tea, and opened my mouth to say the main topic of my trip.

"Master, I am here to obtain your permission, I want to enter the real ghost city of Xudu, and I hope you can send an order to the monks of the White Horse Temple stationed at the edge of the ghost city of Xudu, or give me a pass, so that it is convenient for me to act."

As soon as I said this, I saw that Kongjing lifted the Buddha beads in his hand, stretched out his hand and gently picked them up, and took one out of all the Buddha beads, but the whole string of Buddha beads was not broken, and it was still intact.

"If you hold this pearl, you can do it."

He said calmly.

"Master, your Buddha beads are 108, isn't there only 107 Buddha beads missing? All you need is one book. ”

As soon as I said this, I heard Master Empty Purity laugh, put the beads in front of me, stretched out his hand and said, "You count them." ”

I was stunned, looked down and counted, and was suddenly shocked, the remaining Buddha beads are still 108, and there is no less!

"Okay, you go to Xudu as soon as possible, I'm afraid your trip is not easy, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe, if you can see through the fog, maybe you can have a chance to turn defeat into victory, if you can't see through, I'm afraid you will stay in Xudu forever, everything depends on the certainty in your own heart."

When I opened my eyes again, I was still sitting on the stone bench, but there was only one teacup and a pot of tea on the stone table in front of me, and the master of Kongjing on the opposite side was gone, and the door of the meditation room was closed.

It was as if I had a dream, but the bead was still in my hand, shining with Buddha power. I stood up, bowed deeply to Master Kongjing's meditation room, and said, "Thank you, Master, for enlightening, although I haven't fully understood it yet, but Master's words will definitely be useful." ”

After I finished speaking, I went straight out of the White Horse Temple, and the black egg and the love heart and dumb who were waiting in the big courtyard saw me come out, and immediately surrounded me, and the black egg asked, "Why have you been in for so long?" I heard from other monks that Master Empty Purity has been in retreat for several months, has he been out of the retreat? ”

I looked back at the inner courtyard deeply, smiled and said, "We have a pass, let's go." ”
