Because I knew almost nothing about this abbot, at least for myself. So the next day, when we arrived near Guiyuan Temple, we went to the house in that small alley under the guidance of Songzi and visited Abbot Mibao.

When Matsuko knocked on the door and I saw Abbot Mibao for the first time, I was really surprised. He looked very weak, wearing a yellow-white gown, in this year, if it wasn't a person from the Xuanmen or a singer, few people would wear it like this. And the hair on the top of his head, which is more than half an inch long, is mixed with a lot of white hair, and through the roots, you can faintly see the incense scar on the top of his head.

Abbot Mibao looked to be in his sixties, and in addition to Songzi, Qin Bukong and I were both seeing him for the first time at the moment, but maybe it was because Songzi had expressed his intention to him yesterday, so when he saw us, he didn't show a very surprised feeling. I saw him greet us with a smile but a haggard face, and I felt that he was very kind. It's just that when he greeted Qin Bukong, he especially said one more thing, Mr. Qin, you have admired your name for a long time.

Qin Bukong was also stunned, obviously he didn't expect that this plain person in front of him would actually know him. Presumably, since the abbot of Mibao is in Xuanmen, he is also well-informed about some rumors in the rivers and lakes, although Qin Bukong's style is low-key, he has long been a well-known weirdo in this circle for many years, and he has been in Wuhan for so many years, even if he rarely deals with people in the circle, old rivers and lakes like Abbot Mibao must have heard of it.

Qin Bukong asked, this master, have we seen it before? The abbot shook his head and said that he had seen it in the past, and he had seen it in the future. Although he was haggard when he spoke, he always smiled.

As soon as this deeply Zen sentence came out, it seemed that the person who should be seen would meet sooner or later, before, now, and in the future, it was just artificially added to the time. Immediately, I was in awe of this man who knew he was a monk, but who didn't look like a monk. Qin Bukong also thought that this first formal conversation unexpectedly arched his hand, bowed deeply with the abbot of Mibao, and then said respectfully, The master said with a smile, fortunately, I will be lucky.

In my eyes, Qin Bukong has always been domineering and domineering, and he always reveals his superiority to other peers, speaking straightforwardly, and not knowing how to be a little tactful, from a few days ago when he was in Changchun, his attitude towards Master Wu can be seen, but now he is respectful to this monk with long hair, which is really unexpected.

Abbot Mibao smiled very kindly, stretched out his palms facing up, gently held up Qin Bukong's elbows, and then said to us, don't stand at the door, go into the house and sit down. So we went into the house, which was in very poor condition, with almost nothing but some necessary household items. The only thing that made me feel decent was the bed that looked quite thick and warm. Even so, although the house is old and small, it is very simple and tidy, especially the small orchid grass at the head of the bed, which gives this small place a sense of exquisiteness.

The abbot asked us to find a place to sit, and since there was really no place to sit, we sat on the bed side by side as if we were taking a bus. Although Abbot Mibao said only a few words after meeting, he gave me a sense of sacredness, so that he was still a little restrained, even Qin Bukong was sitting in a proper manner at the moment, his serious expression came out of that big beard, and he looked a little ridiculous. I believe that his respect at the moment is not that he thinks that this sick monk is a powerful character, but a kind of respect from the bottom of his heart, and as for what he is respecting, in fact, none of us can say.

After a long time, everyone didn't speak, so the abbot of Mibao said, I guess you are here today to see the bronze Arhat statue in the Five Hundred Arhat Hall of Guiyuan Temple, right? The elder was here, so I didn't speak, I just turned my head to look at Qin Bukong, only to see him sitting in a precarious position, and replied with one word very seriously: "Yes." "The abbot of Mibao pointed to the pine nuts and said, when this little gentleman came to visit yesterday, he mentioned that you were looking for a Xuanmen seal, but he didn't say it specifically, just said that this seal may be in the Guiyuan Temple, so the old monk took matters into his own hands and told the little gentleman about the past and present life of the temple, but now I am a little curious, I don't know what the seal that the gentlemen are looking for, what is it? If I make it easier for you, will this move affect my already precarious Guiyuanbao Temple?

So I turned my head to look at Matsuko again, after all, when we discussed last night, according to the meaning he conveyed, it seemed that the other party already knew our true purpose, but now it seems that Abbot Mibao only knows a little bit of skin. Songzi said that yesterday was too hasty, a hurried visit, and some of the inside information did not have enough time to explain to the abbot master, and it was not a secret, this seal was cast by a Taoist master thousands of years ago, and the sealed thing was the essence of the soul of the king of Miao Wu, who was the enemy and harmed one side at that time. This kind of powerful person is often not a death, since its soul is defeated after the seal, it must also be extremely angry, now the whole country is building and developing, the country has also issued an order to "dig deep holes, accumulate grain", if it is dug by people who do not know it, I am afraid that the current machinery and equipment will dig it up, and unintentionally release the soul of this witch king, then it will break into a catastrophe.

Songzi said, now is the era of the end of the law, many people have chosen to turn their backs on us, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that even if these people are not unarmed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight against the monsters that have been sealed for thousands of years, even if we have guns and cannons now, but when it comes to that step, imagine how many innocent people will suffer because of this, and how many people will be affected by this incident in a daze. Therefore, when I saw the legend of this seal in the miscellaneous records, combined with my own understanding of some aspects of the local area, I found that there were seals everywhere, so I was suspicious, thinking that this might not be a legend, at least not a simple legend, so I told my teacher that I was allowed to go down the mountain to explore. Originally, if the legend really exists and finds the true location of its seal, we may be able to gather the strength of our disciples and seal this seal in another place.

Although I had a rough idea of the reason why Matsuko did this before this, and I had also confirmed it from his master, it was the first time I had learned such a detailed content today. It is not difficult to hear that Songzi thought that the seal was just a solid existence, maybe it was just a bottle and can, and where it was buried, so he had the move of digging into the center of the formation directly after crossing the Bamen Array. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat for him, fortunately, when he dug through the tunnel, Qin Bukong and I had already broken the Eight Gate Formation, if it wasn't broken, it is estimated that when the hole was opened, it would be when he was dying.

Songzi pointed at me and Qin Bukong and continued, and these two people I mentioned to the abbot master yesterday are the ones who found the seal one step ahead of me, maybe everyone's purpose is different, but the final result is to keep this witch king's soul from reappearing in the world, otherwise it will inevitably cause chaos. Since someone is doing this work, then our teacher naturally doesn't need to be involved, but these two warmly invited, so I also followed. Songzi said, and I first found out that to get this seal, I need to go through the seven bads first, I am a shallow learner, and I don't have the ability to break through, and now it seems that it is mainly the credit of these two.

Matsuko's words are very clever, but his girly accent makes people want to.

And the implication of his words cleverly avoided talking about how Qin Bukong and I threatened him at the beginning, and how he stole my Lu Ban ruler. By the way, I praised Qin Bukong's ability and me, and this answer can be regarded as satisfying everyone present.

I only heard Abbot Mibao ask, I have heard of these seven evil passes, but it has never been related to any seal. Whether there is this seal or not, the Seven Evil Passes have existed since ancient times, and they are often used by people in the Xuanmen, especially the Taoist family, to place the array, but I didn't expect that under this soil, there was such a huge secret.

Songzi said, after the abbot's lecture yesterday, let me make some new discoveries, before we have broken through a few levels, without exception according to an inherent logic to infer that we found the Shadowless Tower, Tiemen Pass, Changchun Temple and other places, and also found what we are looking for in these places. Now the clues we got this time point to Guiyuan Temple everywhere. But this Buddha Gate Pure Land, we can't disturb it at will, that's why I visited the master.

The abbot of Mibao shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, in the past, the pure land of Buddhism can only be explored in his heart now. Today's Guiyuan Temple is no longer the representative of the Buddhist jungle in the past, and it has declined... It's gone.

We look at each other, although we can roughly feel that in recent years, places like Buddhist temples have been seriously impacted, not to mention big temples like Guiyuan Temple, as the so-called tree big wind, the more famous in the past, the more likely it is to suffer, but it is a small Taoist temple like Yunsheng Palace of Songzi, which has been able to escape. The abbot said, "Do you know what I did in the face of calamity when I was the abbot?"

Then he looked up at us, and for the first time I noticed a sad look in his eyes. All three of us shook our heads, and it looked like a rattle. The abbot of Mibao said, the first time we came to make trouble, we couldn't bear to be silent, the second time we came to make trouble, we cried bitterly, and the third time we came to make trouble, we rose up to resist. But for the fourth time...

Hey, this fourth time, we were forced to be helpless, in order to seek perfection, we had to pull out a banner in the temple, which read: Welcome the guards to come to the Guiyuan Temple.
