Jinshan Temple is one of the largest cities in Yuhang

"Famous Spot" is located in the middle of Jinshan. Continuous ancient temples loom among the mountains and forests. The road leading to the temple is a newly built, wide, smooth mountain path.

It's not steep, it's seven or eight meters wide. It's pretty smooth to walk through. The cost is that the walk will take a little longer, and you will have to go around to get to Jinshan Temple - you can also take the old road that existed before, but is basically unpopular now, and it is steep and difficult to walk.

When Xia Yanzhen was walking on the Xinshan Road, there were many pilgrims next to him. The incense of Jinshan Temple is vigorous, and tourists, pilgrims, believers, good men and women are in an endless stream.

Only the heavy rain that often occurs during this time can stop them. In terms of popularity, only the Red House can compare to the Jinshan Temple.

The heavy rain could not stop the men from heading to the Red Mansion. Compared with the desire for faith, it is still a little bit worse, at least for most of the believers in Jinshan Temple.

It didn't take long for the sunny day to shine. The stagnant water had not had time to completely evaporate, and the mountain road was inevitably slippery, Xia Yanzhen walked over and had already seen those few people falling on the mountain road.

Fortunately, the steps of this mountain road are half a meter small, which is quite flat. There will be no scene where someone rolls all the way down and falls to their death.

Outside the Jinshan Temple, the mountain gate was wide open, and two warrior monks stood at the door, showing one shoulder and one arm, and the hole was powerful.

There are also smiling and slightly blessed welcome monks. Excellent appearance. In the square, there is a huge incense burner, on which the incense is the size of a person's forearm, emitting white smoke from birds.

The white smoke has its own surging fragrance and envelops the square. Xia Yanzhen walked into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and it was quite lively inside.

The golden Buddha statue is preceded by a row of futons and a row of merit boxes. There is also a merit box under the pillar that is mainly red and has a golden dragon carved on it.

A group of pilgrims lined up to pay money and kowtow, looking pious. Xia Yanzhen didn't line up, and stepped forward directly.

Whether it was the pilgrims or the monks in the main hall, they immediately glared at him, and some people wanted to step forward to stop him.

How can the pure and holy land of Buddhism tolerate such unruly behavior? But when they saw Xia Yanzhen take out a large pile of silver tickets and stuff them into the merit box, everyone suddenly fell silent and their footsteps stopped.

This is not a queue cut! The angry eyes of the vajra on the monk's face immediately turned into my Buddha's compassion. What is piety?

It's called piety! Whether it is the mind, the mind or the Buddha's realm, ordinary monks have not yet reached that realm.

Therefore, if you donate a lot of incense money, it is religious. The best believer! Several monks walked quickly to Xia Yanzhen's side, said something with a smile on their faces, and welcomed him to the meditation room at the back of the main hall.

Such a pious benefactor must be well entertained.

"Lord Xia, the abbot of Faming generally doesn't see outsiders, but the donor is so pious, the abbot can make an exception for this." A great monk said with a smile.

"Hmm." Xia Yanzhen nodded. Didn't make him wait too long. Soon, the monk Fa Ming, who was dressed in a golden and red robe and looked quite jeweled, arrived.

Compared with other monks, who are generally strong or slightly fat, Monk Faming is tall and thin. He has a long white beard, and if he has hair, he has crane hair and a childish face.

After Monk Faming came in, he waved his hand to let the others out, and there were only two people left in the meditation room.

"Master Xia Shi, what advice do you have for me, an old monk?" Fa Ming's attitude was a little strange.

"Master Faming knows me?"

"The boat gang has been going around asking for news these days, and the old man still knows what the reason is." Fa Ming smiled.

"The Master must know what I'm looking for."

"Peach Blossom Spring, right?"

"Yes." Xia Yanzhen did not hide his purpose in the slightest.

"To be honest, Lao Qu has been in this Yuhang realm for decades, and he has never heard of the Peach Blossom Spring." Faming shook his head.

"Don't have any idea?" Xia Yanzhen asked. Faming shook his head.

"Okay, I heard from Gu Gang Master that the master is a cultivator?" Xia Yanzhen changed the subject.

"No, Lao Wei is just a cultivator, and his cultivation is not the Tao, but the Buddha." Fa Ming corrected.

"It's the same, Buddha is the Tao." Xia Yanzhen said. Fa Ming was not angry: "The old man is only joking with Lord Xia. ”

"Master Fa Ming, can you show me what kind of method you are cultivating?" Xia Yanzhen asked. Fa Ming nodded: "What does Lord Xia Shi want to see?" As the abbot of Jinshan Temple, he often appeared in front of people in his early years, otherwise how could he maintain the vigorous incense of Jinshan Temple?

"Everything."

"Lord Xia, please take a look." Fa Ming solemnly treasured, stretched out his hand in the shape of a flower, and directly spread out his palm. Xia Yanzhen closed his right eye and vaguely saw traces of a mold lake on Fa Ming's palm.

"What is this?"

"A thought blooms."

"Can you make this bloom?" Xia Yanzhen pointed to a green plant in the room.

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Because this is a money pocket, it will not blossom in itself."

"In other words, it's a means of giving birth." Xia Yanzhen said.

"That's right." Fa Ming nodded,

"The method of cultivation is different from the martial arts, the latter only pursues destruction, and the former pursues the great avenue." After a pause, Fa Ming said: "Lord Xia Shi, I see that you have a relationship with my Buddha, it is better to shave off the three thousand troubles, enter my Buddha's door, and pursue the Great Dao." Xia Yanzhen was not in a hurry to refuse: "Practice, what can you cultivate?" Don't say anything about the ethereal and ethereal avenue, can you fight like a person who practices martial arts? "The martial arts practitioners in this world are still very capable of fighting.

In addition to performing aerial fetching for Xia Yanzhen, Gu Taihe also came to a hand - a volley punch, blasting out a fleeting big crater on the surface of Qinghu Lake, and the waves splashed.

Except that there is no explosion, it is exactly the same as the way in some movies and television to show martial arts.

Gu Taihe showed strength to Xia Yanzhen and hoped that the two sides would respect each other. Don't make things unpleasant.

You are strong and I am strong, you spend money and I do things, and everyone cooperates happily. Of course, not everyone who practices martial arts is so good at fighting.

Those who have practiced martial arts to the level of Gu Taihe are a minority of the few, and the entire Yuhang territory is full of calculations, and there are few of them.

In this Yuhang Mansion City, it is the only one.

"I can live forever." Faced with Xia Yanzhen's question, Fa Ming threw out an answer that most people would not refuse.

"Doesn't Buddhism pay attention to reincarnation?"

"No conflict." Fa Ming said. If you've lived enough, you'll go to reincarnation. If you want to die, you can die, and if you want to live, this is the essence of the avenue.

"I'm not interested in immortality, but I'm interested in Peach Blossom Spring. In this way, if the abbot helps me find the Peach Blossom Spring, I will enter the Buddha Gate. Xia Yanzhen made a promise.

"Lord Xia Shi is so concerned about that Peach Blossom Spring, can you ask, what is that place?" Fa Ming asked.

"The peach blossom source comes from an ancient book that has been circulated in my home for an unknown amount of time." Xia Yanzhen immediately memorized "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", and of course, hid the information related to the dynasty.

"I see." Fa Ming nodded,

"It's a place to be. Where does Lord Xia want to go to seclusion? ”

"Sort of." Xia Yan is really ambiguous,

"Why don't you ask Jinshan Temple to help find the Peach Blossom Spring." It's seclusion, but it's only 24 hours of seclusion.

Fa Ming frowned and shook his head: "Buddhism is a pure place, how can it-"

"Smack." With a fairly crisp sound, a solid gold brick was placed on the small table by Xia Yanzhen.

“……”

"......" Faming looked at the gold bricks. Xia Yanzhen looked at Fa Ming.

"How can you ignore the suffering of the world? Peach Blossom Spring, right, Lord Xia, please rest assured. The old man will definitely mobilize all the believers to search for this out-of-this-world land together. Fa Ming looked compassionate.

"Okay, then thank you Master." Xia Yanzhen smiled. The purpose of this trip is basically achieved, and there is one more thing.

"Has the master ever seen a demon or a monster?" Xia Yanzhen asked the last question.

"Demons and monsters, ghosts and ghosts, I have seen them, and the old man has also subdued a few with his own hands." Fa Ming explained to Xia Yanzhen what demons and monsters were.

Demons and monsters are actually divided

"Three" is similar to what Xia Yanzhen knows. One is a demon, which is a monster that changes from animals and plants.

One is ghosts, which are formed after people die. The last type is the demon, and those who do evil and kill monstrous people among the monks and warriors are demons.

In terms of rarity, the number of warriors is the largest, followed by demons and monsters, and the least number of monks. And the three are a minority of the few in the whole world.

Although the individual force is strong, it will not have much impact on the world's major events - anyway, that's what Fa Ming said.

"Actually, in the demon subduing tower on the mountain behind my Jinshan Temple, there is a big demon suppressed." Finally, Fa Ming said.

"Can you take a look?" Xia Yanzhen suddenly became interested. Fa Ming smiled and shook his head and refused: "If it weren't for the fact that Xia Gongzi didn't have half of the demonic energy on his body, I would have suspected that you were a shape-shifting demon." ”

"Is the Shapeshifter strong?"

"Even if the old man cleans it up, it will take a lot of effort." Faming

"Modest" said,

"It has been able to be a party to the disaster, and others dare not look at it."

"How does it compare to Gang Leader Gu?"

"If we meet on a narrow road, fight for life and death, and one party cannot escape, the old man will die in the hands of the Gu gang leader." Fa Ming is quite honest,

"And if Gu Gang Master goes back, he will die if he lives for another three or five years at most."

"What if I meet a big demon?"

"Lao Wei's demon subduing methods are more than Gu Gang Master. The big demon that Gu Gang Master can't take, the old man can take it. ”

"Monster Warrior, Warrior Monk, Monk Monster?" Xia Yanzhen asked, rock-paper-scissors?

Fa Ming said: "Not absolutely, it can only be said that each has its own advantages and good side. ”

"Understood, the matter of the Peach Blossom Spring, it will trouble the master." Xia Yanzhen stood up.

"Well, Master Xia is waiting for news." Fa Ming stood up and personally sent Xia Yanzhen to the gate of the mountain.

Attracted the attention of many believers and pilgrims, who is this young man? It doesn't look like an ordinary person, and it can be sent by Master Faming in person.

You know, Master Faming hasn't seen outsiders for many years. Sending Xia Yanzhen away, Fa Ming returned to the meditation room.

After a while, someone pushed the door in, and it was Gu Taihe.

"How?" Gu Taihe asked. Fa Ming shook his head: "No problem, it's not a demon." ”

"Monk?"

"No, unless his cultivation is too much higher than mine." Faming still denies.

"Then he is not a person who practices martial arts, why ......" Gu Taihe couldn't figure it out. This Xia Eleven is neither a warrior, nor a monk, nor a monster.

So where did he come from?
