Just by climbing Lingyun Mountain, the monk Benchang was very strange in his heart, how could this youngest and shallowest cultivator be compared with himself, a monk in the realm of jade vehicles?

Although the aura is more abundant than the foot of the mountain, but Shuli their exercises are just a fragment of a small temple in the countryside, absorbing and using the aura of heaven and earth is already very difficult and obscure, now even if there is more aura, climbing, it is still very difficult, if it is not for the cultivator's good physical foundation, I am afraid that he will not be able to climb up without stopping, I heard that some pilgrims and believers, in order to be able to climb up to worship the golden statue of the Buddha, even climbed up for two or three days before climbing up.

But now, Shuli's mental consumption is no different from that of ordinary people.

Just when Xiugu and the fire monkey were about to despair, their group finally saw the huge Tianwang Palace, with bell and drum towers facing each other on the left and right, according to the general layout of the temple, the Tianwang Hall took the lead, and the layout of the temple behind it became compact.

As far as they could see, they saw a huge and complex complex temple complex that overlapped on top of each other, and the five peaks of Lingyun Mountain were all over the five majestic peaks, and all kinds of Buddhist monasteries were like fish scales all over the place, resplendent and splendid, which shocked them.

After watching it for a while, Ben Chang smiled and said, "Junior brothers, don't look at it, there will be time in the future." They had just begun to climb to the top of the main peak, but the excitement made their steps brisk.

They walked through the magnificent Tianwang Palace, in the middle of the Tianwang Hall enshrined the smiling pot-bellied Maitreya, the huge Buddha statue, almost let the belly occupy the entire hall door, they walked in, they could only raise their necks to look up, in order to see the smiling face of Maitreya Buddha. The Vedic protector behind the Maitreya Buddha will have a huge demon-subduing pestle, which is more than ten zhang high, and carries Veda on his shoulders, and he is suddenly majestic and majestic.

The bell and drum towers on the left and right of the Tianwang Palace, the bells and dusk drums, are the signals for the monasteries of Nanzong Temple to do homework and practice, but each temple naturally has its own rules, this is only an approximate time news.

A wind to look over, only to see the bell tower hanging bronze bell, the body is huge, inscribed with the ancient Buddhist scriptures, under the bell tower to worship the Bodhisattva of the earth, Daoming Min Gong stands around. On the other side, the drum surface of the drum tower is wide, with gold ornaments on it, and the god Garan is enshrined under the drum tower, and Guan Ping Zhoucang is deterred left and right.

In fact, there are many statues of the god Garan, and only one of them is enshrined here, as the god of the town tower of the drum tower.

Passing through the Tianwang Palace, it is the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Nanzong Temple.

The wide square in front of the palace, the ground is hard and smooth, paved with huge white crystalline stones, Xiugu pulls a wind to run and jump on it, so unhappy, her eyes are straight.

The side hall on the left and right of the square enshrines countless ancestors of Nanzong Temple, because the history of Nanzong Temple is long, there are many monks and gods, this kind of ancestor hall is also many times larger than the general temple, and the ancestor hall of a side hall may be so big as the Daxiong Treasure Hall of other temples.

And the Buddha lamp inside is shining, although it is a tablet dedicated to them, but it is not as dark as imagined, people come and go, and there are many pilgrims.

In the hearts of pilgrims and believers, those gods and monks have great powers, and they are not like the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

There are a lot of people in the square, but the square is too wide and doesn't look so crowded.

In front of the square is the magnificent Daxiong Treasure Hall of Nanzong Temple, covering an area of about 20 zhang wide, as long as 50 zhang, the big one is not like talking, Yifeng and Xiugu stand in front of the hall and turn their heads, from the left to see the right, almost even the neck is twisted.

The stone steps are made of white marble, two zhang high, go up, you can see the gold pattern decoration of the pane of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the porch is golden and bright red, the top of the corridor is painted with gold and colors to show the glorious scene of the twenty heavens, after a wind and Xiugu saw it, they were immediately shocked by its magnificent bearing, and the childish spirit that was excited just now was also restrained, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Crossing the high temple threshold, the huge eighteen golden-bodied Arhats arch guarding five huge golden Buddhas, the central day of the Buddha compassionately overlooking the world, the surrounding east, west, north and south four Buddhas have different expressions, lifelike.

The offering table in front of the Arhat statue and the Buddha statue is full of flowers, vegetables and fruits, tributes, spices, golden prayers, etc., all colorful.

Thousands of pilgrims and believers who came in to worship were crowded one after another in the spacious hall, but they trembled and bowed to the ground one after another, lest the Buddha blame them, and the voices of chanting, vows, and forgiveness came and went, making the whole hall buzz.

All this is really shocking, Yifeng and the others seem to have come to the Heavenly Palace, their mood is excited and heavy, and they want to be excited, but they are suppressed by this magnificent Buddhist bearing, and the group has to walk through the Daxiong Treasure Hall in a daze.

After the Daxiong Treasure Hall is the solemn Dharma Hall, there are countless monks' chanting voices inside, and there are countless lecture halls, light halls and other buildings that practice Buddhism are located in the Buddha Peak on the right side of the main peak, and other courtyards such as the tall Lent Hall and the Luohan Hall are also staggered to distribute several positions of the main peak and the Buddha Peak, several silk-like avenues pass through these building courtyards, will be connected with each other, entwined on several peaks, countless monks come and go, a lively scene.

Monk Benchang went to the Dharma Hall to inquire about his senior brother, and was told that Master Ran was in the abbot's courtyard towards the Buddha Peak, so everyone went to the back mountain, and while walking Monk Benchang, he introduced the situation of several other peaks of Lingyun Mountain to everyone.

The most secret is the Stele Forest Peak, a huge stele forest, which occupies a mountain peak alone, next to the Chaofo Peak, just to the right where their group is going. Under the many stone tablets, there are the monks and Mahayana monks of the ancestors, or the pilgrims who have made significant contributions to the Nanzong Temple. Other Buddhist monks are buried in some small peaks of Lingyun Mountain, or they are cremated directly without erecting stone monuments.

The pines and cypresses around the stele forest are particularly tall, and countless huge and wide tree tops cover the stele forest heavily, making the verdant color behind the stele forest dark, but it looks very strange and gloomy.

And the only narrow road to the Beilin Peak, there is a small pavilion and a small stone pagoda every other section, even if it is still only evening, maybe it is too dark, the road has already been lit up, and the road is guarded by majestic monks, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

The most cultivators in the temple are the spiritual cultivation peak, all the cultivators of the Nanzong Temple live there, and there are different courtyards for the various virtuous Mahayana monks to lead, and practice the magic power of the Buddha's way, even if it is an ordinary monk in the temple, they generally dare not easily disturb their cultivation.

The most secluded is the Buddha Peak behind the main peak, the pines and cypresses are lush and green, and the abbot's courtyard is located here.

Although this mountain peak has only one abbot's temple, it is the simplest, but it is the most important place of Nanjongji Temple. Because the side of the abbot's courtyard is convenient for Lingyunding, Lingyunding is the core of the entire Nanzong Temple, there is a huge Tibetan scripture pavilion that rushes into the sky, like a pagoda, the tower body of the 28th floor of the pagoda, the octagonal heavy eaves are sharp, even the wind on the top can only gently shake the eight huge wind chimes hanging on it, sending out a heavy and solemn bell.

And the other side of the Buddha Peak is a steep cliff, as if it was split by the gods and Buddhas vigorously, the wall stands thousands of thousands, so the abbot's courtyard and the Tibetan scripture pavilion on the top of Lingyun are located on the edge of the cliff, looking forward from the edge of the cliff, it is other low hillside of Lingyun Mountain, covered by dense and lush mountain forests, thousands of different trees are like a gorgeous carpet, spread in the north of Lingyun Mountain.

Chaofo Peak is also where they are going now.

Everyone watched and walked, and was shocked by the magnificent and beautiful scene of Lingyun Mountain, and was amazed. While speaking, the monk led them to the abbot's courtyard.

The Abbot's Courtyard looks very simple to construct, it is a large courtyard, and you can't see how many people enter and exit, but the scale is in Nanzong Temple, but it is the most ordinary.

However, there are two big monks guarding the door, and the breath is calm and heavy, and the cultivation is profound.

After the two great monks listened, they touched a place at the entrance of the courtyard, pulled out a piece of red silk, and pulled it down, and the courtyard remembered two crisp copper bells, and after a while, there was a delicate little novice who opened the courtyard door and asked the reason again.

After Ben Chang finished explaining again, Xiao Shami nodded, turned to go in, and soon came out and replied: "Senior Brother Ben Chang, the abbot asked you to take the guests to the meditation room with me. ”

Yifeng and his senior brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and they were surprised in their hearts, this little novice looked younger than Yifeng, but his seniority was not small.

Ben Chang had long been accustomed to it, and led everyone in.

But as soon as he entered the abbot's courtyard, Yifeng felt uncomfortable, and felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at him, much like being looked at by those strange eyes in Qingping Temple that day.

The senior brother and sister in front of them all followed the little novice quietly, as if nothing happened.

Yifeng turned his neck to look around, trying to see where the eyes were, but it was getting late and the light was dim, so he couldn't find it.

The monk Benchang who was walking in front felt the strangeness of Yifeng behind him, waited for him for two steps, smiled at Yifeng and said, "Little junior brother, I didn't expect your senses to be quite keen, but you don't have to be afraid, don't worry." But there was no more explanation.

The Fire Monkey Shuli and Xiu Gu, who were walking in front, both turned around and looked at Yifeng strangely.

Yifeng squeezed out a smile to say that it was okay and reassured them.

The abbot's courtyard is not very big, there is a scripture hall in front of it, two meditation rooms on the left and right, the pines and cypresses in the courtyard are not high, but the branches are strange. The little novice led them directly through the small stone path of the courtyard.

At this time, the evening sun fell from the west of the courtyard, looking west, the towering Tibetan Scripture Pavilion seemed to shine in the sunset, for a moment, a wind saw a black giant beast figure on the top of the tower of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, opened its mouth towards the sunset, as if to swallow the sunset into the stomach, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yifeng wiped his eyes, and the figure of the giant beast did not appear again, so he had to follow forward again sullenly.

He wondered in his heart, how could there be so many strange things in such a grand and solemn Nanzong Temple.

After a short while, the little novice led them to a meditation room next to the scripture hall on the left, and after knocking on the door, an old voice came and let them in.

There is also a window on the west side of the meditation room, just facing the cliff, the sunset is spilling in, there is a meditation bed in the room, three futons on the meditation bed, two of them are sitting at this time, they are the master of the left hand and the abbot master in the middle, but both of them are closing their eyes and meditating at the moment.

Monk Benchang seemed to know the two of them better, and even when he saw them meditating, he still reported the situation to them, handed the letter of Master Guangchen to the second elder, and introduced the fire monkey and others, and the fire monkey and others stepped forward to salute.

Among them, the most complicated mood is of course the book ceremony, he can be said to be step by step by the master of the genius boy from the calligrapher, forced into the Buddha's way, he was driven out of the scholar's house, said that it is the Buddha's fate, the Buddha is destined to be a person, but who knows if it is true?

There is a murderous aura in him, so although Xiugu and Yifeng have not seen him kill, they naturally feel it, so they are both unconsciously afraid of him.

Now, the murder caused in the past has also been gradually washed away by the compassion of Buddhism, and the murderous aura has gradually dissipated, but he has also suffered from betrayal of his family and displacement, and these experiences have had an indelible impact on him throughout his life, so there is still an indelible violent aura in his green snake sword.

More than ten years have passed, and the master has not changed much, he is still the same as he has seen before, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the wrinkles on his face are neatly arranged, looking solemn and dignified.

He was the first to slowly open his eyes, and his eyes were still as warm and refreshed as ever, but he could also see a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes when he saw Shuli.

Shuli had mixed feelings in his heart, yes, at the beginning, Master Zhiran only knew how to lead him into the Buddha's path, but he didn't know anything about what happened later, but now, they met here again, is it really Buddha's fate?

Master Ran took the letter from Ben Chang and looked at it, smiled and shook his head slightly, he also knew that Shuli was related to Buddhism, but he didn't expect to meet again in such a form.

Master Abbot also opened his eyes, on his old face, a pair of bright eyes seemed to be able to release a warm and powerful Buddha light, he glanced at the fire monkey and the others, and finally his gaze fell on Yifeng.

Although Master Ran glanced at Shuli a few more times, his eyes finally turned to Yifeng.

For some reason, his and the abbot's gaze met on Yifeng, like two fires, igniting on Yifeng's body in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Yifeng was seen to be hot and dry, although on this occasion, he wanted to respect the two respected masters very much, but their gazes made him uneasy, as if he was roasted by fire, hot sweat was rolling, much harder than just climbing the ladder of Lingyun Mountain.

The fire monkey and Shuli also sensed that something was wrong, and at the same time took a step forward and blocked in front of Yifeng.

Yifeng looked at the two senior brothers gratefully, they were like two tall trees, taking root in front of Yifeng, sheltering him from the wind and rain, his body suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and his heart was also warm.

The abbot and the master of the Ran were stunned for a moment, and at the same time retracted their eyes, knowing that they were out of shape, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the master smiled and said to the fire monkey and Shuli: "Amitabha, it's rude, the old man and the abbot have no malice." ”

Shuli snorted heavily, he had tasted Master Ran's "no malice", and his "no malice" directly made him lose his hair and be humiliated by the relatives of the Shu family.

The abbot also smiled and said: "You came from Mangnan, all the way to the dust, it is really hard, Lao Gu and Zhiran should not be so out of shape." I just heard Ben Chang say that you were recommended by Guangchen from Qingshan Temple, and it seems that there is still some trouble. Back then, the younger brother and Guangchen did have a past, and they were also fated to each other. ”

Master Zhiran said: "The Buddha is prosperous, and if you are fated, you are a fellow traveler." Shuli, you should have a deep feeling for this kind of Buddhahood, right?"

Shuli was about to reply, but Master Zhiran smiled and waved his hand, and continued: "Since he recommended you to devote yourself here, it is a trust in Lao Ke and also a trust in Nanzong Temple. You will settle down here, and no matter what trouble, Nanzong Temple will take it. Even if Solomon's Shura came to ask for someone, Nanzong Temple dared to rely on the protection of the Buddha, stand up, and block it all for you!"

Although his words were light, they were gentle and powerful, and they warmed people's hearts.

When the fire monkey and the others heard the abbot say this, they all folded their hands and bowed to the abbot in thanks.

After a few more casual conversations, he immediately arranged for the monk to take them to their residence, and the fire monkey and the others left immediately.

In the meditation room, the abbot and Master Zhiran watched Yifeng's back disappear outside the door, and after they left, their senior brothers sat on the futon, and their old faces showed very excited looks.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly approached outside the room, and Master Ran immediately stopped in vigilance.

Before he could ask, the dark shadow outside the room had already said, "I heard that you have a baby, and that group of old monks asked my old bones to come and ask." ”

Master Abbot thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to know the blessings and misfortunes!"
