We all looked back and saw an old man standing behind us.

Jin Shengshui smiled and said, "Oh, I met a kind person."

"Uncle, why don't you let us enter this temple."

The old man smiled and said, "I see that you are very polite, you can go with me, and I will tell you in detail."

"It's a long story. Let's talk while we eat."

Jin Shengshui: "Okay."

He was about to leave, but I grabbed him, "Don't go, there's something wrong with this old man."

Jin Shengshui looked at me blankly, "Is something wrong? I don't see it."

I said, "Don't you see? How can there be an old man who comes out for a walk in the middle of the night?"

The old man smiled and said, "What's so strange about this, I'm dead. Isn't it normal for a lonely ghost to float outside in the middle of the night?"

Me: "......"

Good guys, are the ghosts so down-and-out now?

Then the old man said, "Are you not also ghosts? Fifty steps and a hundred steps."

The seventh master said to the old man, "If we have something to say, let's say it here."

"We have something to do in this temple, and we need to find someone. Do you know here? Why don't you let us in?"

The old man sighed, found a stone and sat down beside him.

He leaned on his cane and said, "You don't know."

"This small temple was not originally called the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

It dawned on us, "Oh, it's called the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

Old man: "......"

He was a little speechless and said, "It's been a long time, and you don't know anything."

"You don't know anything about this place, and you dare to break in so rashly? You are too bold."

We all laughed and didn't say much.

The old man continued, "It turns out that this is an ordinary little temple, and it doesn't even have a name."

"When the nearby villagers talk about it, they all call him a Buddhist temple."

I looked around and said, "There are villagers here? It's very desolate around here, and you can't see anything other than this temple."

The old man said, "This is the most evil place. That's why I won't let you in."

"In the beginning, there was a village here. This temple is right in the middle of the village."

"I don't know what year and month it was, but there was a monk who attained enlightenment."

"This enlightened monk said that he made a grand wish to expand this Buddhist temple and expand the Buddhist temple into a temple of ten thousand Buddhas."

"In this temple, worship ten thousand Buddhas. These ten thousand Buddhas include not only those Buddhas of the Buddhist family, but also the Taoist people, and even the plague god and the stove god, which are such folk beliefs."

"This enlightened monk said that his wish is that everyone who walks into this temple can find the gods of faith."

Jin Shengshui said, "With so many immortals staying together, won't they fight?"

The old man laughed and said, "This was also asked at that time. And the enlightened monk also answered."

"The eminent monk said that different schools of practice look different, but in fact they all have the same path."

"The gods worshipped are different, it can only be said that the path is different, but in fact, the final destination is still the same."

"Therefore, whoever prays as he prays, and if he has to fight for a right or wrong, he is falling behind."

"Even between different factions, they can communicate with each other and learn from each other's strengths."

I said, "That's a very clever statement."

The old man nodded and said, "It's very clever, so I deceived a lot of people at that time."

I was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Is this a lie?"

The old man sighed.

His cloudy eyes looked at the moonlight in the sky, and after a long time, he spoke, "At first, everyone believed it."

"They went to the temple to offer incense."

"Later, this enlightened monk suddenly said that because of his meritorious work in building the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, he was about to ascend to heaven."

"Become a Buddha and go to Elysium."

"At that time, the villagers were even more crazy, and many people didn't even plant their land, so they went to burn incense and worship the Buddha."

Jin Shengshui said with a confused face, "Not really. Do you believe all these lies?"

"Uncle, I'm a straight-talking person. The people in your village are stupid, aren't they?"

The old man laughed, "What do you know? You haven't seen the master's methods, and if you did, you'd believe it."

"At the beginning, there was a child in the village who had a fever and didn't get better for three days."

"When the monk heard about it, he went to the child's house and touched the top of his head, and the child was all right that night."

Jin Shengshui said, "Coincidence, right?"

The old man said, "This may be a coincidence. But there is one more person in the village. I fell out of love when I was young, and since then I have been mentally abnormal, and I have been silly and happy all day long."

"When the monk heard about it, he touched the top of her head for her. The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she was not stupid anymore, even smarter than before."

Jin Shengshui: "This ......"

He pondered for a moment and said, "Have you thought about it, this girl may have been taken away?"

The monk laughed and said, "But there is another man. When he was young, he was injured and broke an arm."

"After the monk touched the top of his head, the next day his arm actually grew."

We were all stunned.

That's amazing, isn't it?

This is even beyond the scope of a practitioner's cognition.

The old man said, "If it were you, would you like to go to the temple?"

We didn't talk anymore.

The old man then said, "When we go to the temple, on the one hand, we pray for the monks to bless us with us, and on the other hand, we see if there is a chance that the monks can take us with us when they become Buddhas. Isn't there a saying that says it well? One person attained enlightenment, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven."

I said, "Monk...... I promised you?"

The old man nodded slowly, and smiled bitterly: "Agreed."
