The vast land of China is boundless. Only the Central Plains is the most fertile and fertile, and eight or nine out of ten of the world's population live here.

To the north of Middle Earth, there is a mountain called 'Sumeru', whose mountain is dangerous, and it goes straight into the clouds. This place is famous all over the world, but not because of the beautiful scenery of this Sumeru Mountain, but because there is a Buddhist sect in this Sumeru Mountain, called Tianyin Temple.

Tianyin Temple, Qingyunmen, and Incense Valley are known as the three pillars of the three righteous paths in the world, but their teachers are not as quiet and quiet as Qingyunmen, full of fairy spirit, but noisy fireworks and loud voices.

Lin Zhuo stood on the path between the mountains, looking at the wide and long mountain in front of him, like a white dragon from the mountain Buddha hall, to the white jade steps at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What is Lord Lin looking at?" said Fa Xiang's clear voice from behind.

Lin Zhuo nodded at him and said, "I didn't expect your temple to be so popular, look at the stone steps in front of the mountain, if it is narrower, I am afraid that there will be nowhere for believers to stay." ”

Fa Xiang smiled bitterly when he heard this, but said: "More than ten years ago, in fact, my Tianyin Temple was also like your Qingyun Gate, and it was far away from the world. ”

Lin Zhuo looked at the various figures coming and going on the stone steps, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and asked, "Then why do you look like this now?"

Fa Xiang shook his head, but his voice changed, pointing to the white jade steps lying in the mountains like a white dragon and said, "Lord Lin Shi looks at the white jade steps, what do you think?"

Lin Zhuo was slightly surprised, but still replied: "This white jade step is majestic, and it has opened the shackles in the hearts of countless confused people in the world, so that they can go up the mountain to seek Buddha and comfort their souls, which is really a great good." Your temple should have invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this step. ”

When Fa Xiang heard this, he shook his head with a smile, and said: "Lord Lin's words are wrong, this white jade step is actually cast by a monk in my Tianyin Temple. ”

Lin Zhuo's face was full of shock, and he looked at the long stone steps that stretched from the front of the hall to the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Which master did this, I want to tell you." ”

A hint of complexity appeared on Faxiang's face, and he bowed his head and said silently: "All sentient beings come from no beginning, and they become things. To tell the truth, the person who built this white jade step, Master Lin also knows, is my Uncle Puzhi. ”

He saw that the world was suffering, and there was no way to seek Buddha, so he made a great wish, exhausted the world for 30 years, and finally built this white jade step, and the master Puhong saw this, and also opened the main hall of Tianyin Temple for the world to seek Buddha. ”

Lin Zhuo was stunned and fell silent, since the last Qingyun battle, the word Puzhi is known to everyone in the entire Qingyun Sect, but no one dares to mention it. The many lives in Caomiao Village really made the people of Qingyunmen, especially the people of Dazhufeng, unable to have a good impression of this name.

Fa Xiang also saw Lin Zhuo's hesitation, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and said, "Uncle Puzhi has committed such a heinous crime, and I can't let you Qingyunmen donors look at it calmly. Just as the benefactor said on that day, the righteous people practice the evil law, the evil law is also right, the evil people do the right law, the right law is also evil, and everything is created by idealism. Uncle Puzhi he... He just went the wrong way. ”

Lin Zhuo took a deep breath, but he didn't say anything, just took a deep look at the white jade step and nodded.

Fa Xiang seemed to think of something again, and asked: "The little monk took the liberty to ask, I don't know which Zhang Xiaofan Zhang Shizhu of your sect is up to now, and Master Lin has heard of it." ”

Lin Zhuo nodded, seeing this, he continued: "Because of Uncle Puzhi's matter, we have been paying attention to Master Zhang, and he is now... Hey..."

Speaking of the latter, he actually sighed and did not say any more.

Lin Zhuo raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Senior Brother Zhang's matter, I Qingyun has my own plans, so don't say more about it." ”

Hearing this, Fa Xiang nodded and said, "The little monk knows, it's just that my Tianyin Temple owes him a lot, and I just hope that your party won't blame him too much, he... He's just a wretched man. ”

...

When the two were talking, the old monk Pufang was also standing aside, but he looked at the white jade step without saying a word, his eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, seeing that the two were finished talking, he withdrew his gaze from Bai Yujie and said, "Okay, let's go to the back mountain." ”

After that, he turned around and walked all the way up the path, and the two hurriedly followed, but they heard the old monk say again: "Your master is also there, you can do it yourself." ”

Lin Zhuo was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that the old monk was talking to herself, thinking of Master Shuiyue's face, her heart was slightly heavy, and she nodded.

...

The front mountain of Mount Meru is not suitable for Qing cultivation because there are many people seeking Buddha, and it is very complicated, so the real Tianyin Temple has long been moved to the back mountain.

Lin Zhuo came all the way, but saw that the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and from time to time there were Buddha halls located in the mountains, submerged in the forest and sea, and he only felt that his heart was a lot pure.

The three of them were not low, but they crossed the mountain in half an hour and came to the top of the back mountain. Compared with the front mountain, this place is undoubtedly quiet and unusual, and there are not many gorgeous Buddha halls, only a few huts are located in them.

Tianyin Temple has already received the news of Pu Fang, on a clearing on the top of the mountain, at this moment there is a little monk standing with his hands tied, after seeing the three of them, he hurriedly bowed, and said: "I have seen Uncle Pu Fang, Senior Brother Fa Xiang, the Venerable Master has a word, after you arrive, please move to Qingxinju to talk." ”

With that, the little monk glanced at Lin Zhuo curiously, turned around and led the way ahead.

The path gradually opened up, and after a while, a few people came to a bamboo forest, the little monk stopped his pace when he saw this, but the old monk was accustomed to it, and took Lin Zhuo and Fa Xiang and went straight to the bamboo forest.

There was a hut in the bamboo forest, and Pu Fang entered first, but Lin Zhuo quietly stopped, took a deep breath, and then walked in.

The furnishings in the room are simple, there is a pair of central halls hanging in the middle, with a big 'Buddha' word written on it, and there is only a low couch placed in the center on the ground, and two figures are sitting on both sides of the low couch, savoring the fragrant tea in their hands.

One of them, dressed in a red robe and full of kindness, was the Venerable Napu Hong. The other person, Lin Zhuo, is very familiar, it is his master, Master Shuiyue. There was still a figure standing behind Shui Yue, but it was the girl named Xiaoshi who had not been in the door for a long time.

Seeing the three of them coming in, Master Puhong just nodded slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Senior brother is fortunate." ”

The old monk Pufang shook his head, sat down beside him, and said, "Where did the senior brother say, killing demons and destroying demons is just a matter of duty. ”

Venerable Pu Hong nodded, and then moved his gaze to Lin Zhuo.

Master Shuiyue's eyes were always on Lin Zhuo, she looked up and down, and when she saw that Lin Zhuo was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she snorted coldly on her face, and said sharply: "Kneel!"

Lin Zhuo opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Shui Yue put the teacup in his hand on the low couch, made a loud sound, and said coldly: "Master Pufang sent a letter saying that you were in that Qingmen City and deliberately sheltered the demon sect demons, but this matter is true?!"

Lin Zhuo stared at the ground in front of him and nodded slightly.

Shui Yue suddenly changed color, suddenly got up, and said angrily: "Okay, good, I didn't expect that after teaching for so many years, I actually taught a disobedient person who turned his back on the sect, and today I will slap you to clean up the portal!"

Xiao Shi behind Shui Yue was startled, raised her hands to cover her mouth, and looked at Lin Zhuo with big eyes full of concern.

Lin Zhuo suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth to say something, but he saw Master Shuiyue's gloomy face, staring at him deadly, and swallowing the words that came to his mouth.

Seeing this, Venerable Puhong hurriedly stopped Shui Yue, he glanced at Lin Zhuo, and then said slowly: "Don't worry about the Water Moon donor, let's ask the facts, presumably she also has her own difficulties." ”

Shui Yue's expression on his face changed several times, and he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, slowly sat down, and said, "For the sake of Master Puhong, I will give you a chance to explain, and I won't recruit you from the truth!"
