In the early morning of the next day, Nanzong Temple, a courtyard of the Buddha Peak.

The courtyard is small and chic, located in a secluded place on the mountain peak, the sun is shining, from the surrounding pine and cypress needles, shining on the ground, like golden stars shining on the ground, the beautiful birdsong comes from nowhere, a little bit through this bright quiet.

Yifeng slowly opened his eyes, as if he had slept for a long time, his mind was blank, he slowly closed his eyes, vaguely remembering that a pair of shining eyes flashed in his mind last night, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Senior sister-"

"Yifeng, are you awake?" a soft call came from his ears.

Yifeng quickly opened his eyes this time, and saw the anxious eyes of his senior sister, his eyes were red, and a warm feeling in his heart flooded all over his body.

"Senior sister, I'm much better, don't cry. Ichifeng comforted softly.

Xiu Gu nodded and said, "You lie down first, don't get up, I'll call the senior brothers." ”

Yifeng watched Xiugu's petite and delicate figure run out of the door, and he smiled silently.

He now felt that although his body had suffered a heavy blow from Senior Sister Ben Qian last night, the inside of his body was unharmed, but he had received a little impact yesterday.

He was reciting the true scriptures of the conch in his mouth at that time, and the moment he saw those eyes, he thought of Senior Sister in his heart, the spiritual power that was surging in his body, especially the spiritual power that was turned into the gold liquid he drank before, suddenly ran sluggish, like countless spikes stabbing out of his body, and the spiritual power of his whole body was instantly disordered, causing him to not protect his chest, and he was slapped away by Senior Sister Benqian.

But why, at that time, did you have to open your eyes, why did you open your eyes and see Ben Qian's eyes, but she remembered the little senior sister, and why did she think that the spiritual power in the little senior sister's body was so out of control?

He didn't understand, at least not now.

Xiu Gu and the two senior brothers came back soon, but what Yifeng didn't expect was that Master Zhiran also came with them, and Monk Ben Chang also followed.

Master Ran sat on the edge of Yifeng's bed and took his pulse himself.

Yifeng looked at the way he closed his eyes and took his pulse, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The master had a feeling of unease from the first time they met, when he had a light in his eyes and stared at him, which frightened him.

But this time Master Ran was normal, he opened his warm eyes, smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were neatly stacked, although his wrinkles marked age, but did not look old, he smiled, and said to Yifeng: "There is no serious problem, you can rest in peace." ”

Xiu Gu snorted coldly beside her, pursed her lips and said: "Of course you hope to be safe, yesterday as soon as my junior brother came to your temple, he was beaten badly, if something happens, who will dare to come to your Nanzong Temple in the future?

Shuli pulled Xiugu and said softly: "Don't be rude." ”

Master Zhiran smiled and stopped, and said: "This matter is indeed wrong with our temple, Ben Qian's child, originally I don't know which pilgrim left in this temple, I grew up in this temple, because of my clever nature, I have caused a lot of trouble. But she has a good heart, and there is no one in the whole temple who does not spoil her, and as a result, she is spoiled. ”

At this time, Yifeng also thought that he had also been picked up by the third senior brother Jin Luo since he was a child, and grew up in Qingshan Temple, so he resonated in his heart for a while, and hurriedly said to Master Ran: "Master Ran, please don't punish her, I'm fine, and I did feel that she didn't mean it yesterday." ”

Although Xiu Gu was also embarrassed in her heart because of the same situation as Ben Qian, she still said: "Hmph, you should teach her a lesson! Who said that there is no etiquette without parents? Aren't Yifeng and I both like this? Yifeng is honest, why let her bully!"

Master Ran smiled and said: "Of course, naughty also depends on the situation, this time I have let Senior Sister Yu confine her for a month, so that she can reflect on herself." ”

He looked at him with a certain look in his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Yifeng, have you and this female disciple also had no parents since childhood?"

Yifeng replied: "Returning to Master Ran, my little sister and I really have no father or mother, and we grew up under the nurture of Master Diyi of Qingshan Temple. ”

Master Zhiran stroked his beard, nodded and said, "So, maybe it is the Buddha's arrangement." He paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "The old man wants to take you as an apprentice, I don't know if you are willing?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

They came to Nanzong Temple just to escape, to avoid the pursuit of the Xuanyin faction and Solomon and others, and to avoid the harassment of the Nine Dragons Guandao.

They were a flock of birds with wet wings in the wilderness, looking for a place to take refuge under the eaves, but they never imagined that they would be able to settle down at Nanjong Temple.

Monk Benchang was shocked, but also wondered, Master Ran often traveled all over the world, and was famous for not accepting disciples in Nanzong Temple.

In addition to him, there are only two senior brothers who have already cultivated to the Jade Vehicle, in order to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, they travel all over the world like a master, breaking through the cultivation world, and they are not in the temple, and there are no other disciples in the Elder Courtyard under the master.

Now the master wants to accept apprentices again, and there are four at a time, which really puzzles him.

Master Ran continued: "I accepted you as apprentices, not only to make up for the grievances I suffered last night, but also because the old man is indeed destined for you. ”

He stared at Yifeng, but his eyes were confused, recalling the past: "One case, because of the book ceremony." ”

Shuli bowed his head and remained silent, while the others wondered.

I only heard Master Ran continue: "That year, the old man traveled all over the world and met a descendant of the calligrapher, who was gifted and intelligent, had a good nature, and was able to stand up when encountering injustices, even if he was forced to be killed by the family's mission, he was especially able to maintain a good heart. This person is not a scholar, but a scholar. ”

Shu An's face was pale, and a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Master Ran continued: "Although Shu'an encountered an accident, this old man got to know Shuli. He was as confused and restless as a lamb in the disillusionment realm of the old man, holding the green snake in his hand, but he was so powerless, and his unwillingness and anger made him make a big mistake, but he also planted the cause of Buddhahood. The Buddha has a fate, and the old man can see that he has a Buddha fate, and he can't ignore it, so later the divine consciousness will be thousands of miles away to light the book ceremony. ”

Shuli thought of the fact that he had lost all the green silk in the Shujia Qiuren Hall, was humiliated by the family, and finally betrayed the family, and held the green snake sword in his waist tightly with his right hand, and the green snake seemed to sense his excitement and emitted a miserable green light.

As if he hadn't seen it, Master Ran continued: "The other sect is related to your senior uncle, Master Guangchen. Master Guangchen and Lao Qu met in Mangnan County that year, encountered gangsters, were seriously injured together, supported each other, fled to a safe place, until the injury was healed, and formed an indissoluble bond. ”

The Fire Monkey and the others were amazed when they heard this, they had never heard the Guangchen Master Ancestor mention this matter.

Master Ran continued: "However, fate did not stop there, the temporary residence of Lao Qu and Guangchen was a farmer's family, and when they saw that the two of us were seriously injured, they took good care of them and took care of them. I never thought that the monks of the temple came to force them to pay taxes, and their words were bad, how could they be like monks!

The two of them were so ashamed that they almost wanted to go to the eighteenth layer of hell, but they became angry and beat the monks who came to them with blue noses and swollen faces, and fled.

"After the two of us left, we didn't feel at ease, and when we went back again, we saw that the farmer's house had already been destroyed, and the family was ruined.

"At that time, both of us were young and vigorous, and we immediately brought out the fire of hell, found the temple where the land was leased, drove all the monks out of the temple, and burned it to the ground. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that the kind old monk in front of them would have such an uninhibited time.

Master Zhiran continued: "But I still never thought that after the two of us left, the land leased by the former temple was never really returned to the farmers, and the monks who were driven out of the temple moved to another temple, and the monks were brought in again to grab the land back. The greatest pain of man is nothing more than loss and regain. So the peasants rebelled and fought to the death with the monks who came to reclaim the land, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and finally the government sent troops to suppress the matter.

Sadly, the end result was that the government and the monks split half of the land, and the peasants were still empty-handed, burdened with heavy taxes.

At this time, because it involved the suppression of the riot, it spread widely, and Lao Qu and Guangchen had long been far away when they heard the news, and their hearts were sad, and Guangchen often sighed about this broken world. ”

Yifeng's heart moved, he seemed to have heard the sigh of Guangchen Master and Uncle Ancestor at some point, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

Master Ran continued: "From then on, the old man was unwilling to accept disciples, and if he did not accept them, he would definitely bring shame on the Buddhas. Buddhism is already a behemoth in the Great Wu Kingdom, and it is useless to collect more. This behemoth did not play the role of Buddhism in crossing people to good, and the insatiable people hidden in Buddhism did everything possible to encroach on the land and swallow money, but they did not know that the longer they persisted, the closer the disaster became.

"Lao Gao has the heart to reduce the monks, scrape away the greasy for Buddhism, and discharge filth, but even in Nanzong Temple, there are people who are in the same stream to confront Lao Gao, and Lao Gao is really helpless!"

Yifeng lowered his head and muttered, "How could Nanzong Temple be—"

Master Zhiran smiled, and his smile was full of helplessness: "Over the years, Lao Qu has sent Ben Chang to visit various temples in the Dawu Kingdom to inspect the situation, and he has a general understanding of the development of Buddhism today. This time he went to Junzhou to discuss, and Lao Qu had already made up his mind to report his thoughts and thoughts to Emperor Dawu truthfully, so that God would listen.

"The old man often said that the situation when he met you, according to his words, you are by no means greedy people, and in the old man's own view, you are even more ordinary. At the same time, as a disciple of Guangchen, you must inherit his mantle and help me to clear the fog, unload the black mountain, and rebuild this shattered world, so as to fulfill the great wish of all sentient beings. ”

Yifeng unconsciously sat up, leaned on the bed and pondered, and his personal experiences and hearings along the way made him see that because of the encroachment of Buddhism on the land and the cruel exploitation of the people who depend on the land for survival, he did not know how many people were suffering deep disasters and unsolvable suffering.

He finally understood what Master Diyi and Uncle Guangchen said that he was the light of hope that pierced the darkness of the world.

Now, he can no longer hide behind his brother and sister.

For the sake of the Buddha, for the dawn of the people, he wants to burn, burn into the soul of light that pierces the darkness of the world, he wants to explode, explode into this magnificent Buddha light fireworks in the mortal world, he is the Buddha, and become the Buddha giant who shines on the soul of the world!
