There are daily sitting meditation practices at Jinling Temple.

The pilgrims had to burn incense and meditate, and their hands were sealed, so Liu Ruyan sat cross-legged on the futon until noon.

Today, the person in charge of the operation is the Master of Empty Purity, who is also a guest of the temple, in charge of daily affairs and receiving monks and lay guests.

Until the end of the practice, Liu Ruyan felt numb in her legs when she got up.

She rubbed her legs, and in her spare glance, she caught a glimpse of Master Kongjing standing up from the futon, seemingly stumbling a few steps.

She secretly thought to herself, it turns out that monks can also have numb legs.

Xiao Shami immediately stepped forward and supported Kongjing: "The holy monk is not in good health, and he has been working hard all day after day recently, so the disciple will do the lunch for him. ”

Kongjing faltered: "It's okay." ”

After eating fasting, Liu Ruyan prayed in various Buddhist halls.

According to historical records, the Xuankun seal was enshrined in Jinling Temple as a Buddhist treasure.

But after some searching, no trace of it has been found.

At this time, she followed the novice to a Buddhist hall with the remains of the old monks hanging on the wall, and the Buddha relics were enshrined here.

She looked around and asked, "I heard that in the year when the temple was built, there was a Buddha treasure, the jade body was transparent and flawless, and it was engraved with the bears of divine beasts. ”

The little novice had just become a monk and knew a little about it.

He clasped his hands together: "What the donor said is a jade seal?" These Buddha treasures have always been held by the abbot, who is required to burn incense, bathe in incense, and recite sutras. ”

Liu Ruyan asked directly: "I don't know where the abbot is?" ”

The little novice replied to her: "The abbot has been in retreat a month ago, and he will not be able to leave the retreat until 7749 days." ”

The monk's retreat is a major event, during the meditation period, there will be monks to protect the pass, cut off all visitors, if she wants to take the Xuankun seal, it is difficult to ascend to the sky.

So for now, we have to wait.

Xiao Shami took a few sticks of incense sticks and handed them to Liu Ruyan: "Here are the portraits of all the eminent monks and great masters since the establishment of Jinling Temple. Buddhism leads people to goodness and purifies all sentient beings. If the donor always does Buddha deeds and does many good deeds, he will be blessed by my Buddha. ”

"Monks and nuns live a long life." She nodded, added the incense in her hand to the incense burner, and begged for a long life by the way.

"But ......," she paused in front of a portrait, "how did this holy monk pass away when he looked young?" ”

Xiao Shami explained: "Venerable Daoxuan was suffering from an old illness, and unfortunately passed away at the beginning of the month. ”

"How did I hear that the master committed suicide?" A pilgrim suddenly mentioned.

Xiao Shami hurriedly explained: "The monks have already taken refuge in Buddhism, and the six roots are pure, and they will definitely not commit suicide. I also hope that this benefactor will be cautious and not desecrate the Dharma. ”

The pilgrim apologized.

Winter sinks in the west.

A mansion outside the palace.

Zhang Yan was a sword-carrying guard in front of the emperor, and since the birthday banquet of the lord of the kingdom ended, he returned home and killed a servant in a fit of rage.

Then he was like a madman, cutting people when he saw them, like madness.

Zhang's father had no choice but to lock him in the house.

When the night is thick.

The candlelight kept flickering, and Zhang Yan paced back and forth in the room, holding a piece of red coral in his arms, and chanting words in his mouth.

"Don't ...... Don't kill...... Help me......"

His eyes stared at the window screen in horror, and the branches and leaves were like a ghost.

"The Buddha of the Ten Directions lives in the South Impermanence."

"Ten ways to live in the south."

"Nan Wuchang lives in the Ten Directions Monks."

"Nam no Shakyamuni Buddha."

He kept chanting in his mouth, and suddenly the candle flame flourished, and it rose from the desk, swept all the way to the beams of the house, burned to the feet, and devoured everything in front of him.

Zhang Yan was terrified, he saw several shadows appear in the sea of fire.

Those black shadows seemed to be human, ghost-like, as if they had crawled out of the hell of Ah Bi, stretched out their long black claws towards him, and groaned in pain.

Zhang Yan desperately retreated: "Don't, don't come here!" ”

The shadow got closer and closer, clinging to his ankle and making a grunting sound, like a strange sound made by covering his mouth and nose: "Zhang Guard—"

"Who are you?"

The shadow cracked open a black crack and laughed awkwardly, "I am the evil spirit you summoned from the lake." ”

Zhang Yan suddenly fell to the ground, his body was uncontrollable, step by step, and he was dragged into the hell of Ah Bi.

The karmic fire rushed and burned, and eventually, he was consumed by the flames.

The mansion suddenly went out of the water, and the servants didn't care about getting dressed, so they hurried outside the house.

Someone used an axe to split the door lock, but saw Zhang Yan fall in the firelight, the coral shattered to the ground, and what was even more strange was that he was holding a fiery red candle in his hand, which had already burned out.

Young master, he committed suicide......

For several days in a row, there were frequent murders inside and outside the palace, and it is said that several people who had accidents had seen the female corpse at the bottom of the lake on the day of the birthday banquet.

The palace maid was resentful, did not enter reincarnation, and possessed the bodies of these people.

Master Empty Purity once tried to surpass the undead, but because this evil spirit was too dangerous, she had no karma and could not resolve it for a while.

Not long after Master Kongjing returned to the temple, he fell ill.

When the lord heard this, he was disturbed.

He ordered the eunuch to invite the statue of Guanyin from Jinling Temple and hang it in the palace. The statue of Guanyin has been worshiped with incense and blessed by Buddhism, which can purify all evil.

The portrait of Kannon was enshrined in the palace, and the lord of the country was much calmer.

Noon.

The lord of the country rests in the Maitreya couch.

Outside the embroidered screen, the musician holds the pipa vertically, and the lingering sound between the low-eyed and shallow music is curling.

The lord of the kingdom listened to the sound of the lute and fell asleep.

The tune went from slow to urgent, like a trickle, gathered into a river, and finally rushed into the sea.

The musician kneaded the strings with his left hand and picked the strings with his right hand, becoming more and more urgent and intense.

Until her fingertips were bleeding, and bean-sized blood particles were dripping down the strings, she didn't feel it.

"Zheng—"

The lord of the kingdom woke up from his dream, and at first glance he saw a woman standing in front of the bed, bowing her head, staring at him with an expressionless face.

The lord of the country hurriedly sat up and called, "Someone-"

The musician struck in an instant, and the strings wrapped around his neck and tightened tighter and tighter!

The lord of the kingdom was so strangled that he grabbed the strings and pulled them out, but the woman was so strong that she wanted to kill someone.

The lord of the country was dripping with cold sweat, and the scene in front of him seemed to become blurred.

In a trance, he saw the musician, the beam, the veil, the incense burner, and the statue of Guanyin......

There was a sound of breaking the door, and the eunuch who was waiting in front of the emperor broke into the house and dragged the crazy musician.

The female musician immediately turned around, and with her teeth and claws, she pounced on the eunuch, biting him in the face and tearing off a piece of flesh and blood.

The eunuch immediately covered his face and wailed in pain.

The musician swallows the meat in his mouth, gesturing to bite again.

"Hurry up—" The palace people rushed to the palace.

Immediately afterwards, the guards with knives broke into the dormitory, one left and one right, to hold the crazy musician.

She was prostrate on the ground, and countless ants and insects crawled out of her bun, densely packed, all over her face, eating her flesh and drinking her blood.

She stroked her face in pain, desperately grasping it with her hands, and the blood-red nail marks were shocking.

Until a centipede burrowed into her eye socket, she suddenly screamed, clasped her fingertips in her eye, pulled it in, and pulled out a round eyeball.

She held her eyes, smiled, and opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of red teeth, and the smell was disgusting.

There were words in her mouth: "Om, well, what, horn, mic, sigh." ”

The musician recites the six-character mantra, which can exorcise evil spirits.

The lord of the kingdom witnessed the tragic scene, his face turned pale, and he muttered: "Possessed by evil spirits, she is possessed by evil spirits!" ”
