The three monks kneeling in front of him said that they were young, but in fact they were all older than Hu Lai, one of them was estimated to be thirty years old, and the other two were at least eighteen or nineteen years old.

"You want to become a monk at the Leiyin Temple?" asked Hu Lai.

He had some impressions of these three monks, although these three people were brought by Zhizhang, they did not participate in smashing the Buddha statue, nor did they make a big noise, and they kept watching.

"Yes, the abbot of Rulai, the three of us some time ago because the temple suffered a black disaster, can only be in the Golden Buddha Temple to place an order, who would have thought that this mentally handicapped master is such a greedy person, today to see the master of Rulai, only to know what is the reincarnation of the Buddha, so I want to worship in the Leiyin Temple. "The middle-aged monk was sincere, spoke decently, and had a bit of a monk's demeanor.

"The temple has suffered a black disaster? You get up first, and after entering the Buddha hall, you will tell the abbot about this matter stupidly. When Hu Lai heard the word "black disaster", he couldn't help but be interested.

Black calamity is a kind of name for mysterious events, which is relatively rare on weekdays, because there are Buddhist blessings in the temple, black calamity will not appear in the temple, and the other party claims that there is a black calamity in the temple, which is strange, presumably there must be a hidden secret.

The middle-aged monk introduced himself first, his Dharma name is Yigu, and the other two are his junior disciples, Yiming and Yiluo.

The temple of the three monks is called a golden temple, and it is also the treasure Buddha in the four Buddhas, it is about seventy or eighty miles away from Lingshan, it is a slightly larger temple than the Leiyin Temple, and there are more than ten monks in it.

Just two months ago, on the night of the fifteenth full moon, the temple suffered a black disaster, and all the monks of the temple died overnight, and the death was miserable, everyone's eyes were gouged out, and the abbot and the youngest novice were spared.

Ichiya, Ichimei, and Ichira were spared because they went out to do business, and they returned to Ichijinji Temple the next day.

When the three of them were collecting the corpses, they found a strange big black jar in the temple, which was full of red blood, and the blood was full of monks' eyeballs, which made the three of them frightened inexplicably.

At this time, the night was dark, and the three of them felt bad, so they fled overnight, and after escaping from the temple, the big black jar actually chased them behind them, and they also heard a miserable voice shouting: "Eyeballs, eyeballs, eyeballs......"

The big black jar was chased until the Golden Buddha Temple dozens of miles away, and then disappeared, and the three of them were almost exhausted to death.

Later, after thinking about it carefully, the three of them realized that they had encountered the legendary black scourge.

The entire Yijin Temple was also destroyed because of the black disaster, and the three of them had no choice but to place an order in the Golden Buddha Temple of the mentally handicapped monk, and were called by the other party as a disciple at will.

"This is the black scourge, and it sounds so mysterious. Hu Lai squinted slightly.

Before his death, Master Randen once talked about the black calamity, and warned him that if he encountered the black calamity, he must quickly stay away, because only those Buddhist monks or Taoist masters can survive the black calamity, and ordinary people can only be sent to death.

"Amitabha, the three of you can worship in Leiyin Temple, but this temple does not worship any treasure Buddha, but worships the Buddha, that is, the abbot, are you willing?"

"Yes. ”

"We are willing to worship the abbot. ”

"The abbot is a living Buddha as rumored, and the disciple is willing. ”

The three of them didn't expect Master Rulai to agree to their worship in the Leiyin Temple so easily, and immediately knelt down again to salute.

"Slowly, before worshipping in the Leiyin Temple, you need to worship the Buddha statue, worshiping the Buddha statue is like worshiping the abbot, if you sincerely worship, the abbot will let you worship in the Leiyin Temple, if you are not sincere to worship, please leave. Hu Lai looked at his meritorious Buddha statue.

If you want to test the sincerity of the three people, visiting the Buddha statue is the fastest and best way to test.

The three of them nodded, came to the statue of the Buddha of Merit in turn, knelt three times and bowed nine times according to the etiquette of Buddhist disciples worshiping the Buddha, and chanted Amitabha Buddha in their mouths, all with humble expressions.

"The number of merits has really risen, and it seems that he is sincerely worshipping the Buddha. Hu Lai couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the number of merits in the Buddha statue had risen by three points in a row.

He didn't know that he was already comparable to a Buddha in the eyes of the three of them.

The previous move in the sleeve of the robe had already shocked the hearts of the three of them, and the next two Buddha statues emitted golden light, and the treasure Buddha Golden Buddha was instantly shattered, which was enough to prove that the Buddha statues in the Buddha hall were extraordinary.

All this is enough to prove that the seemingly young little monk in front of him is by no means an ordinary monk, either the reincarnation of the legendary Buddha, or the person who is favored by the Buddha.

Worshipping the Buddha is like worshipping the Buddha, and they have already agreed with this point of view in their hearts, so they sincerely worship it.

"Well, since the three of you sincerely visit this abbot, the abbot will accept you into Leiyin Temple today, become a disciple of Leiyin Temple, and keep your original Dharma name. Hu Lai made a promise.

The three of them were overjoyed, knelt down again, and thanked the abbot.

The next thing is to arrange work, Yigu is older because he often goes out to practice, and he also knows all kinds of Buddhist rituals and etiquette, so he was arranged by Hu Lai to the Buddhist hall to help Tang Sanzang take care of the Buddhist hall.

Yiming and Yiluo were arranged to clean the temple and receive pilgrims, which greatly reduced the pressure on Long Wu's work.

This is also Hu Lai's original intention, he needs to manage the daily affairs of Leiyin Temple with one article and one martial arts, and the two personal disciples of Long Wu and Tang Sanzang are the key training objects, and they can't always waste their time on temple chores.

It can be said that the three of Yigu, Yiming and Luo came at the right time, so that the monks of Leiyin Temple were barely enough.

After assigning the work of the three people, Hu Lai called the eldest Yigu to the house alone.

"Yigu, do you know the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamps?" asked Hu Lai, straight to the point.

Before, he was very strange about the burning of the ancient Buddha, the old monk Zhizhang didn't know about the burning of the ancient Buddha, and said that there are four Buddhas in the world, and he made a treasure Buddha that is different from the teachings of Buddhism, this is a very strange thing, and it must be clarified.

"Abbot, the disciple doesn't know that there is such a Buddha as the Buddha of the Burning Lamp, but he only knows the Buddha of the Quartet and the Buddha Immortal Buddha. Ichiya replied.

"Tell me everything you know about the Buddha. Hu Lai said dryly.

Yigu didn't dare to slack off, and searched his stomach to bring together the knowledge about the Buddha of the Four Directions.

After hearing this, Hu Lai's whole person fell silent.

The Buddha on the Eight Desolations Continent is fundamentally different from the known Buddha, the Buddha is not the ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp told him by the old monk, but the mysterious and unpredictable Buddha of the Burning Lamp.

In addition, the four Buddhas are also four Buddhas, respectively in the south, south, northwest and dominant side, can be described as a vast supernatural power, so it is called the four Buddhas.

East soil, swallowing the heavens Buddha!

West Heaven, Treasure Buddha!

Southern Xinjiang, rejoice in the Buddha!

North Hell, Kill the Buddha!

Each of these four Buddhas has its own abilities and cultivation methods.

For example, the Buddha of Treasure cultivates the way of loving money, the Buddha of Devouring Heaven cultivates the way of devouring, the double cultivation of the Buddha of joy, and the path of killing the Buddha is the way of killing.

The way of cultivation of these four Buddhas is contrary to the Buddhism known by Hu Lai, but according to Yigu, it is really because of the existence of the four Buddhas that this has maintained the longevity of Buddhism, and it has not been destroyed by the strong Taoism, but has become more and more prosperous.

"The world is in chaos, there is more than one Buddha alone, and the teachings of Buddhism are also in conflict with the Dharma I have studied, why would the old monk lie to me?" Hu Lai wondered.

The Burning Lamp Master said that there is only one Buddha in this world, that is the Burning Lamp Buddha, but this Burning Lamp Buddha has never existed at all, looking at this posture, I am afraid that any monk in the Eight Desolations Continent does not know who the Burning Lamp Buddha is.

What went wrong?

Why should the lamp-burning master, who has the grace of nurturing, lie to himself?
