Lifo Peak, in the courtyard where Yifeng originally lived, there was a ball of golden light in the air wrapped around a black object, and it slowly landed.

Everyone followed the elder out of the hall and into the courtyard, and saw that the golden light fell to the ground, and inside was a strange black flower, with black light revolving around it, and its roots were holding a garment, a black garment.

Everyone understood what was going on, and Xiu Gu thought that the black flower was formed by absorbing the essence and blood of the man in black, and frowned, feeling nauseous. Although they had encountered this situation before, no matter how many times this kind of thing had happened, it was inevitably disgusting.

Elder Shuran clasped his hands together and closed his eyes to chant.

Elder Lifa was so angry that his beard trembled, and he turned his sleeves back, and asked Yifeng angrily, "Did he steal your exercises? Take out your magic power secret book!"

Yifeng took out the Canaan Sutra Exercises and the Secret Book of the Sanskrit Demon Life and Destruction Fist that he was carrying with him from his arms and respectfully handed them to the Fa Elder.

Elder Lifa pulled it over, looked down at the two pages of the Canaan Sutra, and opened the secret book of the Demon Destroying Fist, he was stunned when he saw the boxing book, turned his head to look at Yifeng, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then he closed the cheats and stuffed them into Yifeng, holding his head high, his face calm, as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he ordered the two warrior monks: "You take people, go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to find the elders of the Guardian Pavilion, and besides, all the elders' houses and disciples' houses of the Spirit Cultivation Peak, check all the exercises and cheats borrowed from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, check carefully, see if there are any exercises cheats missing, once you find out, immediately detain people, strictly guard, and report to me quickly!"

The two monks took the order.

Yifeng put away the cheats, lowered his head and pondered for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and asked the Fa Elder: "Uncle Master, the disciple has heard before that although the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion protects and collects many Buddhist scriptures and exercise cheats, he doesn't mind passing on the exercises cheats.

"Because all those who practice my Buddhist exercises and supernatural powers inevitably need to refer to Buddhist scriptures and comprehend Buddhist principles. To a certain extent, this is promoting the Dharma, which should be a meritorious thing. Even if the disciple is lost, the reprimand is enough, but why is the punishment so severe?"

Elder Lifa's eyes widened, his face turned pale, and he scolded Yifeng: "What do you say? Don't mind? The exercises and cheats are the treasures of our Nanzong Temple, you don't mind? Who gave you such a bold son?"

Master Ran stopped chanting, opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, and said to Elder Fa: "Senior Brother, this is what Senior Brother of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion said, and it is also what Lao Wei meant. ”

Elder Lifa's face turned red: "Obviously, that's how you taught your disciples? When the elders met back then, I resolutely opposed lending the secret books of the exercises and supernatural powers to the disciples. Some fledgling children who know how to practice the magic of the Fa should be taught by the Master himself, as I said.

"First, it can ensure that the magic magic cheats are not leaked, this is our treasure, do you see which sect throws its own exercise cheats and magic weapons as waste?

"The second is to respect the teacher and emphasize the teaching, establish the majesty of the master, and let the Nanzong Temple be big and small, which is conducive to the implementation of the temple rules and regulations, and there are no rules!"

Master Ran said coldly, "Since the Council of Elders has passed, then why do you need to say more?"

Elder Lifa snorted coldly and said, "That's not what you guys did? There were a lot of elders who originally supported me, but Senior Brother Abbot agreed with your crooked reasoning, and those snobs immediately fell to you! Hmph! Now that my laws and regulations are in vain, there is no way to manage the exercises and secrets of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, which has led to the leakage of these most valuable treasures of Nanzong Temple, and every time I think of this, I am heartbroken!"

Before he looked at Master Ran, he added: "There are no rules, hmph, no wonder you are only two decent disciples, and they have abandoned you, and they would rather wander outside than come back! This is the end of no rules and no master's majesty! You just deserve it!"

Master Zhiran was just about to speak, but Elder Lifa seemed to have been stabbed in a meridian in his head with these words, and continued to say arrogantly: "Also, at that time, you actually said that you wanted to make Buddhism truly pure and peaceful, and you would scatter all the fertile land under the jurisdiction of the temple, cultivate and eat by yourself, and make all the temples under the jurisdiction of the temple do the same!"

"Have you ever thought about what the 100,000 people in the temple will eat after the land is scattered? What can you do with the little incense money in the temple? Even if you cultivate and eat by yourself, the land is all scattered, where to plow and where to harvest? Fortunately, this time everyone has remained wise and did not let you succeed. Otherwise, Nanzong Temple will break up!"

Master Zhiran's face was calm, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of questioning, folded his hands, and said lightly: "Lao G's original intention was to distribute the acres of land donated by the big officials and nobles and other donors to the farmers who could not support themselves, and reduce or exempt the rent and tax according to the situation. You also know the situation of Nanzong Temple, there is no shortage of these fields at all, and there is still a surplus. But how many poor peasant families can be saved by these farmlands! My Buddha is merciful, how can there be any reason not to save him when he sees death! Amitabha!"

Elder Lifa sneered and said, "Yes, it's all right for you to say! But have you ever thought that if you start this way, it will be difficult to hold back. If the scene gets out of control, who will be responsible for the final result? Can you afford the lives of the 100,000 monks of Nanzong Temple?

"What's more, once our Nanzong Temple comes out first, then if the other temples don't follow the rules, it will cause the monks and households under their control to resist, think about how many temples there are in the Great Wu Kingdom, and how many monks and households! Once the chaos breaks out, then there will not only be hunger everywhere for many years, but there will also be gunsmoke everywhere, and riots will continue, have you ever thought about it?"

Master Ran looked up at the dark night sky, as if searching for answers.

The others were silent when they heard this, especially Yifeng, who had a better understanding of the current situation and situation in their hearts, and felt the weight of their responsibilities.

He secretly thought, what the master thought, of course he was right, but what Elder Lifa said was also reasonable, this is a major event that affects the whole body, involving the entire Dawu country Buddhism, the Buddhism has been bloated and expanded for a long time, the ills have lasted for many years, and the freezing three feet is not a day's cold, if you want to solve it properly, I am afraid it is not as simple and easy as you think.

After a while, Master Ran didn't seem to have found an answer, or it was inconvenient to say the answer now, so he let out a long sigh, turned his head and said slowly to Yifeng and the others, "Let's go back." ”

After speaking, Master Ran dragged his somewhat tired body and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Monk Ben Chang immediately took a wind and kept up with Master Ran's pace, and a group of people looked like an unsolvable black shadow from a distance in the misty night, and the lights could not illuminate it.

Ben Xuan also left, leaving only Elder Fa standing in the courtyard, staring at the black flowers in the golden light cluster.

After more than half a month, the afterglow of the annual grand Nanzong Temple Blessing Lantern Festival gradually dissipated, and Nanzong Temple returned to its usual appearance, but pilgrims and believers were still in an endless stream.

The weather under Lingyun Mountain has become warmer, and the grass and green trees are gradually emerging to listen to the footsteps of spring.

Although the cold is still severe on Lingyun Mountain, the cold wind is raging, but under the spring sunshine, the edelweiss quilt on the pine and cypress has gradually faded, revealing a verdant and fresh appearance, and the heavy courtyards of Nanzong Temple with white dots constitute a unique New Year scenery.

Everyone was informed that the Council of Elders had agreed that the Junzhou Conference would begin in early February.

Yifeng and his senior brothers and sisters have been cultivating even more during this time, and since they heard Elder Fa's words, they have each lit a fire in their hearts.

In the past, they only knew that it would be an extremely difficult reform to implement the ideas of Master Ran, and there would be many difficulties and calamities waiting for them.

But after listening to Elder Fa's words, I realized how specific this difficulty was, it was difficult to carry out only a Nanzong Temple in Yunzhou, and this plan for the transformation of Buddhism and Taoism was even stifled by Elder Fa and them.

Once the decision was made to start the implementation, there were countless people in Nanzong Temple who supported the Dharma elders, and the 100,000 monks, how many of them could understand that what they advocated was to save the people of Dawn?

Even if they do, how many people are willing to support them?

Even if they support, how many people can persevere under pressure and difficulties?

The most desperate thing in the world is not poverty, sickness, failure, but hopelessness.

Yifeng has grown a lot in these days, not only has he grown a lot taller after a winter's accumulation, but he has gradually understood that this predicament, like he is trapped in a small and slender ceramic jar, there is no chance and space to break it from the inside, only from the outside.

The diseases of the Buddha cannot be cured by themselves, and they can only rely on the strength from the outside to scrape away the greasy and filth accumulated on the Buddha path.

And the Junzhou Dao Conference is an opportunity to break from the outside, they will have the opportunity to directly face the rulers of the Dawu Empire, only with the help of the power of the imperial court, forcibly change the Buddhism, can they have the opportunity to clean up the bones of the Buddha, otherwise it is all oily brains and fat intestines, and the Buddhism can only die slowly.

This is an opportunity that they must grasp.

Therefore, if Yifeng wants to pay close attention to cultivation, he must have the qualifications to participate in the selection and be successfully selected.

If it is really as Senior Brother Ben Xuan said, the secret realm of the Forest of Steles must not be a good place, it must be full of difficulties and traps, there will be many dangers, and without the corresponding cultivation, it is impossible to get out of the predicament.

Fortunately, he integrated the Meditation and Silence Technique into the Canaan Sutra of Meditation, and even though he carefully controlled the speed of his cultivation to prevent others from discovering it, it was still much faster than before.

Now that he has faintly reached the peak of the Buddha's light realm, if he continues like this, he will catch up with the two senior brothers of the Fire Monkey Shuli, and it is also close at hand.
