The next day the sky was clear. After breakfast, Lian Chung first went to the women's guest house to look for Zhang Linghui, but Yi Han's sister and brother were also there. Soon the monk Xiulin came to invite. Although most of the monks of Tianyin Temple are easy-going, they have been established for hundreds of years and have their own brilliant spirit. Cao Niangzi didn't even go out of the village much, and she was even more shy about what she did in Tianyin Temple. Thanks to Yi Han and Cao Lin'er, they are very eye-to-eye, and they often come to ask for warmth, which makes her feel a lot easier. If it weren't for Yi Han's persuasion yesterday, she might not have been willing to let Fa Xian take her son away to prepare.

The place of the conjuring is chosen at the Altar of the Heart. This is a large open-air round platform on the edge of the Tianyin Hall. There are often Vinaya monks who are exposed to the sun and rain here, and experience the pain of cultivation. Today, there are still many monks on the side, without distractions, concentrating on chanting the scriptures. There are also some other small monks, watching the excitement on the sidelines. Lian Chung and the others crowded among the monks. Soon Qingluo and Shui Ruyin also came, nodding and greeting them from afar.

As soon as the food time passed, Fa Xian and Yuan Zhen came to the Binding Heart Altar. The two little novices in the back carried the pale Cao Lin'er. As soon as Cao Niangzi saw her son, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and her whole body trembled. Murong Yan pulled her and said softly, "Don't worry about Lady Cao. Last night, Master Fa Xian had already put her mind in order for Xiao Lin'er. After the conjuring is completed, Xiao Lin'er should be fine. Cao Niangzi was still uncertain and miserable.

The two novices settled Cao Lin'er on the ground and walked away. Yuan Zhen took the Chaos Bottle, placed it beside him, and stepped back as well. Fa Xian smiled at the bald heads around him, and said, "The Buddha is merciful and uses supreme supernatural powers to open up reincarnation. There is a way for the living beings in the world to be reincarnated. Since then, the soul has died, and each has his own way. Today, there is a young Cao Lin'er, who was harmed by evil magic, and his soul was locked in magic weapons, and he suffered a lot. This is naturally the lich's evil deeds in the world, and it may not be the cause and effect of Cao Lin'er's previous life. When all the disciples walk the rivers and lakes, they must remember that one is to help the weak, and the other is to protect the Dharma. Fang is worthy of the body of Tianyin's disciple. ”

One of the disciples below stood up and asked, "Ask the Guru, what is the first and what is the last?"

Fa Xian smiled: "This is actually a one-and-two, two-and-one thing. There is no conflict between helping the weak and protecting the Buddha. After a pause, he smiled again: "If there is a real conflict, then it depends on your state of mind at that time." If there is a conflict between the two, it will be a tragic thing. No matter what you choose, you will inevitably end up with hatred. I am a Buddha, but I want to be worthy of my heart. If you've tried your best and you're still not perfect, don't feel guilty. There is guilt, and you can't always remember it, and you have become a demon. ”

He said this without intention, but Lian Chung had a heart for the listener. sighed in his heart: "Whether there is guilt or not, it is inevitable to hold hatred." The great monk took this for granted. ”

The disciple seemed to still have doubts, and Fa Xian suddenly picked up the three pears on the table on the side and threw them at the disciple. The disciple was stunned and didn't dare to dodge, and let Shuili smash on his head, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Fa Xian smiled at him kindly and said, "I threw you with pears just now, and you can't hide, and you can't hide either." I'm afraid of my scolding, and if I don't hide, I'll be innocently smashed. So it's a dilemma. The question you ask is really about choice. There are always many things in the world that you can't complete no matter how you choose. ”

When the disciple had realized, he sat down. Fa Xian knew that he was not very puzzled, and explained: "Yuanqing doesn't need to worry too much. When the time comes, you will naturally be able to understand. "The round winder sat down and thanked him.

Fa Xian is usually kind, and the monks are willing to come to him for advice if they have any problems. Fa Xian answered and exonerated one by one. The more people asked, the more he answered, and the more monks gathered around him, as if he were preaching. Cao Niangzi waited anxiously below, but she didn't dare to step forward to urge.

When the sun rises at three poles, the monks gradually quieted down. Fa Xian looked at the sun and said with a smile: "You have almost asked the question, and it is time for me to help the child collect his soul." This is also karma. The monks smiled.

Fa Xian sat down slowly, and his expression gradually became serious. The early winter sun shone on him, and the half-foot white beard suddenly shone brightly, showing a solemn treasure. He took out a wooden fish in one hand and put it in front of him, and took out a string of agarwood Buddha beads in the other. While knocking on the wooden fish, he turned the rosary. After about a stick of incense, a faint figure appeared from the chaos bottle. As soon as Cao Niangzi saw the figure, she recognized it as Cao Lin'er, and she burst into tears with excitement. The Chaos Bottle has a great attraction to souls. The figure struggled at the mouth of the bottle, trying to get out, but it was always a line off.

After Fa Xian finished reciting the scriptures, he shouted: "Duh!" The chaos bottle suddenly cracked. Cao Lin'er's soul got a chance, tried her best to struggle, and really broke free. flutteringly attached to Cao Lin'er. Cao Lin'er shouted and sat up suddenly. The eyes also returned to their usual brilliance, but the whole person looked tired and abnormal. Monk Xiulin nodded at Cao Niangzi, and Cao Niangzi cried and hugged her son in her arms. Under the mixture of joy and sorrow, he kowtowed towards Fa Xian again, and his forehead was red.

Fa Xian raised his hand towards her, but Cao Niangzi was suddenly gone, still kowtowing. People come to Tianyin Temple for help, and after getting help, they are often at a loss, and the disciples of Tianyin Temple have long been surprised. There were monks who were about to go up to support, Yi Han and Murong Yan walked up first, one picked up Cao Lin'er, the other helped Cao Niangzi, and sat down on the side.

Fa Xian said loudly: "This Chaos Bottle itself has no good or evil. It's just that there are a lot of evils that have been used for it. Since it is the right time for this meeting today, my disciples will overtake it with the souls in it!"

The monks responded. There was no one to take the lead, so a neat mantra sounded, "There is no Amitabha night in the south." Dotagada night. Dodi night him ... "The Buddha chanted for a while, and this small corner of Tianyin Temple quickly became compassionate and solemn. Although Lian Chung and the others were not Buddhists, they couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere, and their mood was much calmer.

Fa Xian and the monks recited the mantra a few times, picked up the wooden fish hammer and lightly knocked it on the chaos bottle. The bottle let out a sharp hiss, and then four cracks burst out with a click. Along with the original one, five cracks split the bottle into six pieces. Fa Xian knocked hard again, and the chaos bottle made a popping sound, and it immediately fell apart, and the black smoke in the bottle was running around, but Fa Xian couldn't get out. The Sanskrit chanting of the monks was still gentle, and the black smoke gradually calmed down and slowly faded away. Until the last wisp of black smoke dissipated, the voices of the monks suddenly rose up, and the sound of the night of Amitabha resounded in the sky.

Fa Xian's face was very compassionate, and he walked towards Lian Chung's people. Lian Song, together with Zhang Linghui and others, helped Cao Niangzi and Cao Lin'er go back to rest. Walking far away, the voice of the Buddha on the altar of the heart still came.

Cao Niangzi's beloved son was saved, her face was sad, and a lot of smiles came out. As the saying goes, Chai Men is beautiful, she is extremely beautiful, and there are many young women's charm, and she has already won the favor of Yi Han in the past few days. Yi Han is an ignorant young man, a little naïve who doesn't know the world, and his appearance is handsome, and Cao Niangzi also loves it in her heart. It's just that these two people, one of the three chastity and nine martyrs guards the woman's way, and the other is a fledgling with a tender face and a soft heart, and they can't say anything about it. It's just that from time to time, they look at each other with a red face and turn their heads to look at him. In the eyes of others, there is some amusement. Fortunately, Yi Han and Cao Lin'er get along very well and play together all day long; Cao Lin'er also envies Yi Han's cultivation and often pesters him to ask questions.

There is no need for a secular family to celebrate the New Year in the mountains. Even on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Tianyin monks still have morning and evening bells, just like usual. However, Cao Niangzi thanked everyone for their help, asked the nearby villagers to buy a lot of fresh vegetables, tofu and mushrooms, and borrowed a pot stove from the Xiangzhu Kitchen, and made a vegetarian banquet with good color and fragrance. Yi Han wanted to help, but she pushed him out with a red face.

Two days later, Lian Chung and Zhang Linghui were studying in the guest house, when they suddenly heard the bells of Tianyin Temple and knew that a distinguished guest had arrived. Lian Chung smiled at Zhang Linghui jokingly, Zhang Linghui took his hand lightly and walked towards the mountain gate.

The two rushed to the mountain gate, and Fa Zheng, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, and Fa Xian, the superintendent of Luohan Hall, were already waiting at the temple gate. Although Jishan Academy's status in the martial arts is not as good as that of Tianyin Temple, it has a great influence on the folk court and is the leader of Confucianism and Taoism. The lord of the academy came to visit, and the abbot of Tianyin Temple opened the middle door to greet him, which cannot be said to be a big fuss. As for Fa Xian, it was Ren Zhongting's personal friend, so he naturally came to greet him. Lian Chung: This is the first time I have seen Fazheng. Fa Zheng is already hundreds of years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man, the wind god is like jade, and he is simply a Xiulin monk who is one size older. Because when he was less than forty, he practiced meditation and gained a lot from it, and he never grew old.

Next to the rows of bald heads, the Lian Chung benefactor Shi Shiran held the little hand of Zhang Zhang's white clothes, which aroused the eyes of many monks. Helplessly, one of the two is as cheeky as the city wall, and the other is easy-going and indifferent, completely unconstrained by vulgar etiquette, and these many white eyes seem to be thrown to the blind. However, Fa Zheng and Fa Xian looked at each other and smiled, as if they had no objection to the approach of this pair of beautiful people, but faintly approving. Kunlun had no contact with Jishan Academy, but was a little unruly, and he was also a guest, so he did not come to greet him.

In a short time, four people came on donkeys. At first, an old man in a green robe, with white beard and hair, wore a scarf on his head, and held a fragment in his hand, leisurely. On the green donkey next to him sat a handsome young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, neatly dressed. Although I have traveled a lot, my hair is still unmessy and organized. Even his donkey seems to be more rigorous than others. The latter two young disciples are also very talented. It's just a kind face, and the other is like the young man's face, holding his breath, and there is a trace of cold breath.

The old man is Zhong Ting, the current director of Jishan Academy. He was also happy to see that Tianyin Temple came to greet him with a huge scene. He exchanged letters with Fa Xian frequently, but he never met. But I had a chance with the abbot of Tianyin and met once. But the first thing he saw was not the monks of Tianyin Temple, but his precious granddaughter Zhang Linghui, and she was being held by a silly boy!

Ren Zhongting was deep in thought and didn't say anything, but the youngest son Ren Haoyue on the side couldn't help frowning, and said softly: "Linghui, this girl... Ren Zhongting smiled and said nothing.

Both sides are characters of Taishan Beidou in the martial arts, and they have their own entertainment when they meet. After the greetings were over, Ren Zhongting smiled at Zhang Linghui and Lian Song, and said, "Come to me later, grandpa has something to say." Zhang Linghui said yes.

Even the downfall did not have the restraint of seeing Mount Tai for the first time, and bowed to Ren Zhongting and Ren Haoyue. The two nodded in return, but the two young men next to them were not so polite. One pretended not to be seen, and the other ignored it. Lian Chung ate a soft nail and touched his nose, a little embarrassed. Zhang Linghui saw that everyone was walking away, and sighed and said, "Grandpa and uncle seem to be not very satisfied with you. ”

Lian Chung smiled and said: "Grandpa and uncle, seeing that my baby was abducted, I will be content if you don't beat me." But who are the other two dough faces who are not tall, not short, not ugly, and not handsome?"

Zhang Linghui patted him, and couldn't help but smile: "How can anyone say this about other people's senior brothers! These two people are the proud disciples of my Jishan Academy, the kinder one is called He Zizhang, and the arrogant one is called Xi Bingxun, both of whom are young talents of Yunwen and Yunwu... ”

Lian Chung interjected: "I'm sure I'm more handsome!"

Zhang Linghui was speechless and twisted him: "These two people have always coveted me. If it is not friendly to you, it should belong. ”

Lian Chung smiled: "It's a mediocrity not to be envied." It's a good deal to hug a beauty like you, and get two eyes on you!"

Zhang Linghui chuckled and frowned: "These two people don't have to worry, I'm just afraid of my uncle and grandfather... ”

Lian Chung saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he gently kissed her on the lips and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandfather always love you a lot." Even if they don't like me, then I have to find a way to make them happy. ”

Zhang Linghui didn't mind his intimacy. Hearing him say seriously, he sighed and said, "As long as you live up to me... ”

Lian Chung played with her little hands, feeling peaceful and happy in her heart. He put her palm on the lips and kissed it, and said, "Who can live up to Zhang Baiyi?"

Zhang Linghui smiled faintly: "I opened my heart to you, and you can naturally hurt me." ”

Lian Chung shook his head: "I can't bear it." ”

Zhang Linghui did not speak. Lian Chung grabbed her hand, turned her face to look at her, and said, "I'm really reluctant." ”

Zhang Linghui chuckled and said, "No one said you were fake." The whole amorous seed!"

Her words were not without resentment. Lian Chung heard it, but he couldn't say anything. Zhang Linghui gently leaned his head on him and said quietly: "Don't have any ideas." That's who you are. Don't change for my sake. ”

Lian Chung cheered up and smiled: "Let's go, let's go and wait first." If my grandfather doesn't see us later, my impression will be even worse. Zhang Linghui sighed again, took his hand and walked towards the temple. Both of them felt a little depressed. Walking to the entrance of the guest house, Lian Chung suddenly stood still, hugged Zhang Linghui, and kissed him deeply. Zhang Linghui responded more enthusiastically and devotedly than usual. The two parted breathlessly. Lian Chung looked at her fixedly and said: "There is no tomb in the mountain, but you dare to fight with the king." Zhang Linghui kissed him gently: "Even if the mountain is edgeless, it will not be with you!"

At this point, the atmosphere between the two gradually became harmonious. Zhang Linghui said: "Grandpa, they will definitely be better for a while." Let's go see Cao Lin'er. This kid is really likable. ”

Lian Chung smiled: "Okay." Why don't we just give birth to one?"

Zhang Linghui glanced at him and said, "It's been less than a quarter of an hour to be honest, and it's back to the old ways!"
