Inside the Kannon Temple of Banzai Mountain.

The little girl who was about to beat Liu Changsheng on the road just now was looking at the eighteen Arhat statues in the temple with a curious face.

These eighteen Arhat statues are as if they are alive, with different expressions and lifelike.

Eighteen Arhats.

Sitting on the deer, rejoicing arhats, raising bowls, tota arhats, meditating arhats, passing arhats, elephant riding arhats, laughing lion arhats, happy arhats, probing arhats, contemplative arhats, ear-digging arhats, cloth bag arhats, banana arhats, long-eyebrow arhats, gatekeeper arhats, dragon descending arhats, tiger arhats.

They are arranged in two rows according to their status.

Sitting on the deer Arhat, that is, the Venerable Bindu Ravara. He sat on the deer, thoughtful, calm, and self-admiring.

Especially the slightly raised head, about fifteen degrees of elevation, looking up. There was a sense of loneliness in His eyes.

Rejoice in the Arhats, the Venerable Kano Khano. In front of him, there was a faint dark shadow that seemed to be struggling for the sake of death. He is a state of demon eradication, raising his hands in celebration, and his heart is full of joy.

Lifting the bowl Arhat, that is, the Venerable Noga Bharitha. His Buddha image is the image of His incarnation. His method of turning into a relationship is different, which is to hold up an iron bowl and beg for food. He bowed his head and held up the iron bowl high. I can't see His bowed demeanor, but I can feel that there is definitely no trace of supplication in His eyes, but a sense of lifting up the suffering of the people in the world.

The Tota Arhat, the Venerable Subindra, holds a seven-tiered pagoda and has a mighty face that is not angry. There is nothing special about his Buddha statue, but the seven-story pagoda is exquisite. It seems that there are monks chanting scriptures in the pagoda, and travelers stand in the tower to see the scenery. Everything in the tower is so lifelike, as if there is a small world inside. And He holds this tower in his hand, as if dragging the whole world.

Meditate on the Arhat, the Venerable Nokhara. This statue of Him is mainly a demeanor. His idol is pure and cultivated, with a calm demeanor, and is peaceful and happy.

Crossing the river, the Arhat is the Venerable Bhadra. His idol bears the Scriptures. The head looks eastward, and there are thousands of mountains and rivers hidden under the feet. He stepped on it as if he had crossed east. He lowered one hand slightly. It was as if one of his men was kneeling, and his hand was gently touching the top of the bower's head, and his body was slightly forward, as if he were giving a lecture to the kneeling person.

Riding an elephant Arhat, that is, the Venerable Kalika. He was tall and tall, and he rode on an elephant, and he was imposing. His idol has a slightly open mouth, chanting a prayer with a clear heart and eyes for all beings, eyes and directions.

The Laughing Lion Arhat is the Venerable Vaja Buddha Dora. He held the root seal in his hand, and a pair of living lion cubs frolicked around him.

Happy Arhat is the Venerable Boga. His idol is always smiling and infectious. One glance at it makes me feel very happy.

The Tanshou Arhat is the Half Toga Venerable. His idol looked at ease, yawning and stretching out, sane and happy. His idol rests one leg on the other, i.e., one knee crossed.

Contemplation of the Arhat, i.e., the Venerable Raja. His statue has a plump face, curved silkworm eyebrows, round eyes, and a dignified demeanor with a graceful and chic charm.

The ear-digging Arhat is the Venerable Naga Rhino. His idol, with a little tail finger, is plucking out his ears. This idol is leisurely, pleasant, interesting, and full of meaning.

The Budai Arhat is the Venerable Injata. His idol holds a treasure bag in his hand, and his expression is joyful, joyful.

The plantain arhat is the Venerable Vanarvas. His idol has a plantain leaf on its head, slightly covering the top of his head. His gaze is level, leisurely and secluded, proud of the immortal wind bones, and beyond the mortal.

The long-eyebrow Arhat is the Venerable Ashiduo. His two long eyebrows almost drooped to the ground. His face is a kind old man, a statue of a high-ranking monk. He smiled, as if he had seen everything and understood it.

The watchman Arhat is the Venerable Toga who is half a tea infusion. His idol is a majestic benchmark, gazing alertly. He has a staff in his hand, and he burns demons.

The two Venerable Arhats in the back, the Dragon Venerable and the Fuhu Venerable, have unclear faces. There is only a rough outline, which is not enough to manifest the power.

The more the little girl watched, the more excited she became, and she was fascinated.

These eighteen Arhats are a complete set of magic weapons, but the last two statues of gods have not yet taken shape, otherwise the power of this set of magic weapons is unimaginable.

Don't talk about the subtle connections among the eighteen Arhat Venerables. Just a single Arhat statue is already exquisite in her eyes.

The pattern and demeanor of His Holiness Arhat's clothing show a unique charm. In particular, there are dense letterings that ordinary people can't see at all, which are neat and blurry all over the Arhat's body. All of this has been shaking her heart.

Not to mention the vague connection between these eighteen Arhats, the mysterious aura that is intuitive but indescribable, so that she can't touch the door at all.

She has been obsessed with magic weapons since she was a child, and she is extremely talented. At the age of six, I began to learn how to make magic weapons from the six masters of Qingyuan Temple, and it was about summer last year.

She finally made her first complete ritual artifact on her own.

You must know that the person who can independently make magic weapons before the spiritual awakening is second to none even if it is the entire Qingyuan Temple, which is one of the top ten temples in Middle-earth.

Originally, during this time, she was a little carried away. But after seeing these eighteen Arhat statues, the little pride in her heart dissipated.

Thinking of what the six masters said to themselves when he went to say goodbye to his uncle and ancestor the sixth master.

His mouth pursed unconsciously, and he cursed in his heart.

"Uncle Shi, you big liar, this is the most unpromising apprentice you said, are you fooling a ghost?"

The girl has been observing the eighteen Arhats in the courtyard of the temple, and she is fascinated.

The girl's father and mother chatted with the only monk in the temple in the back room, drinking tea and chatting.

The monk who usually looks like a hanger, today is a lot more serious, at least today he did not lean over, sat or sat down.

After all, the person sitting in front of him was the elder deacon of the outer gate of Qingyuan Temple, and he was also the first elder deacon of their younger generation.

The monk warmly entertained.

"Senior brother, sister-in-law taste this tea. The wild tea on Wugong Mountain is newly picked this year. Lao Zhang of the Heavenly Master's Mansion picked it up and fried it himself. There is a unique smell of smoke, and the sweetness is obvious. Compared to our Jishui's famous tea dog brain, it is only a little worse, and it has a unique flavor. The water used to make tea is the spring water of the back mountain, and the water of the spring is better than the well water of our Qingyuan Temple, which can make some wild fun of this tea. ”

"The younger brother has a beautiful difference, and in terms of taste, it is much more elegant than when he was in the temple. ”

The middle-aged man raised his glass and took a sip, the tea was fragrant, it was a pair of mountain orchids. If you take a closer look, there is indeed a faint smell of smoke inside. I don't know if this smoke is left when the tea is roasted, or the tea fragrance itself. It's not obtrusive, it feels just right.

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Good tea. ”

The monk saw that the senior brother really liked this tea.

I wondered if it was okay, wait for the bag to be put on and let him take it back. It's a pity that Lao Zhang of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is also a lazy person, and he doesn't give much tea every year. Otherwise, I can let the senior brother bring more back, and let the master and uncle also taste it.

As he thought, he replied.

"Senior brother jokes, what a beautiful difference. I was sent here, and the good thing to say is to stand on my own, and if I don't say it well, it is called distribution, just like Lao Zhang. However, Lao Zhang's old boy is less self-aware than me, and he shouts everywhere every day that he is the exclusive owner of the blessed land, and he will have a great opportunity in the future. A barren mountain with wild mountains and monsters rampant, it is also a shame that he dares to brag about this bull. However, he does have a lot of specialties on Wugong Mountain, and he also sends me some local products from time to time, showing off by the way. ”

The middle-aged man put down the teacup, glanced at the eighteen Arhats in the courtyard outside, and said with a smile.

"Don't be born in the midst of blessings, and don't know blessings. If it weren't for Uncle Shi's partiality to let you come to this treasure land, you would have achieved today. Look at your sixteen Arhats. If you've been staying in the temple, you're probably still blind. Don't be a good person and sell it cheaply, it's not good. ”

The monk also looked at the eighteen arhats outside, smiling proudly.

"Hehe, Senior Brother's Eyes. Although the temple gate here is small, it does have many extraordinary features. Looking east, the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Rune flickered hundreds of miles away. If you have time, you can also personally consult Mr. Thirteen about some difficult questions about his practice. I have to say that Mr. Thirteen is indeed very methodical in teaching. After being instructed by his old man a few times, the younger brother has indeed made some progress in the past few years. ”

"Heavenly Master Town Spirit Rune?"

The middle-aged man asked with some confusion.

"It's hundreds of kilometers away from Wugong Mountain, and you can actually see the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Rune written by Zhang Tianshi himself on Wugong Mountain?"

The monk nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, I do. In the early morning, at the top of Banzai Mountain, I could clearly see the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Rune shining for half an hour. I have to say that Zhang Tianshi's ability really makes me and other juniors yearn for it. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, he could shine a hundred miles away, and the power of the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Rune was indeed immeasurable.

The middle-aged man sighed.

"The ability of the Heavenly Master is indeed unpredictable. Unexpectedly, hundreds of miles away, the power of the Heavenly Master Town's Spirit Rune could still shine. It is worthy of being evaluated by the master as a talisman for a town and a city. ”

The monk kept nodding his head in agreement with the senior brother's statement. Thinking of the first time I saw the spell shining on the top of the mountain, I couldn't believe that what I saw was real.

The middle-aged man took a sip of water.

"By the way, speaking of the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Rune. Just now your sister-in-law and I met a teenager on the mountainside. It seems to be writing the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Talisman on the ground. Originally, I didn't pay much attention to it, but it was almost time to reach the gate of your temple. I could clearly feel that he had drawn a talisman that had taken shape. ”

The monk didn't seem to care very much.

"You're talking about that kid from the old Liu family, he has been copying the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Talisman for a long time, but I didn't expect him to suddenly become today. However, the people of the old Liu family can't be looked at with common sense. ”

Hearing the monk's words, the woman, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly interjected.

"That's the person from the old Liu family? No wonder it's so extraordinary, it was just a quick glance at the time, but there has always been a very strange feeling. That young man didn't have a trace of spirit on his body, but he could simulate the direction of the Heavenly Master Town Spirit Rune. And after he wrote crookedly on the ground, it obviously affected my family's delicate mood. I didn't expect that this person who could meet the Liu family when he just arrived here was indeed fateful. ”

The woman who spoke was the middle-aged man's wife, Ouyang Lanlan.

She is from the academy and an authentic formation monk. Formation monks are very sensitive to this kind of formation-like formation that has a confusing effect.

Especially the young man of the Liu family just now, he is obviously an ordinary person who has no aura at all.

But just a crooked stroke can affect his daughter's mood.

This technique is too much like a soul technique.

Soul monks are adept at using this method to give people hints. Once the other party is hinted at, he almost grasps the other party's life. As long as they introduce the suggested person into a particular situation. There is simply no room for the implied to resist.

When she was just now, she actually had this kind of worry. But after she carefully felt Liu Changsheng and made sure that he really didn't have a trace of spiritual breath, she finally put her mind at ease. But now I heard the monk say that he is a member of the old Liu family.

She was a little uneasy in her heart, she knew too much about the old Liu family. The people of the old Liu family can't look at it with common sense at all, what if there is no spirit, isn't it still possible for people to draw the spirit rune of the Heavenly Master?

The monk saw Ouyang Lanlan's changing expression and asked.

"Is there anything wrong with my sister-in-law?"

Ouyang Lanlan told him all about her worries.

After thinking for a long time, the monk said.

"Sister-in-law, I have been observing this child for a long time. He probably wouldn't do anything to our niece for no reason. After all, it's not a big hate. ”

The middle-aged man patted his wife's hand and signaled that she didn't need to dwell on the issue.

Ouyang Lanlan nodded at her husband, signaling that she understood.

After the middle-aged man saw that his wife was indeed fine, he said to the monk.

"Tianyi, today Senior Brother is looking for you, and I have two things to ask for. ”

Hearing the words of the senior brother, the monk who was called Tianyi stood up. He knew that his senior brother must have something important to come to him, after all, his senior brother was also a person in an important position in the government department. Although Tianyi doesn't know which department he is working in.

The monk Tao known as Tianyi.

"Senior brother, it would be too obvious for you and me to say a word, if there is anything, you can just tell it directly. ”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly when he saw the attitude of Monk Tianyi.

"The first thing, Jiaojiao is going to transfer to study here this year, which is what Uncle Sixth meant. Although I don't know what he thinks. But Jiaojiao will have Senior Brother Lao to take care of her this year. Let her learn something from you, which is also what Uncle Sixth meant. Second, your sister-in-law and I came here this time mainly for the sake of Wu Yinghao, the stationmaster of Jishui Station. During this time, the train route from Pingshui to Jishui has been in trouble. Several coal trucks were hijacked on the way. The day before yesterday, Wu Yinghao personally led the team. With the three spirit awakened masters under his command, he swept away the demon beasts along the road. You also know that Ying Hao is very murderous. This time, the demon beast kept making trouble, making him eat a lot of the top row. In a fit of rage, he slaughtered along the train from Jishui to Pingshui. Thousands of demon beasts were slaughtered in two days. Originally, everyone thought that after this massacre, the demon beast would always have to be honest for a while. Unexpectedly, the monster rebellion along the road not only did not subside, but also kept getting more and more intense. Last night, there were three little demon kings robbing the road. His three Spirit Awakening masters fought fiercely with each other all night, and the other party killed a little demon king, and he also seriously injured the two Spirit Awakening masters on his side. He sensed that something was not quite right with this matter, and at about four o'clock in the morning today, he personally went to see the master and the sixth uncle. I want my door Qingyuan Temple to help find out what caused it. The master personally divined the hexagram, and the gown seemed to point to the side of the Pingping Mine, but it was impossible to figure out what the specific thing was. That's why your sister-in-law and I came here early this morning. But here in Pingkuang, your sister-in-law and I haven't been back for many years. Now when I come back, my eyes are black, and there is no way to find out. So I can only come to the door with a cheeky face to see if my junior brother can know some news?"

Tianyi fell silent, thinking back to what he had heard about it recently. Half a day later, he shook his head.

"The matter of monsters on the railway line? But as for whether there is a connection between the Peace Mine and the Mine, I have really not heard of it. But don't worry, senior brother, wait for me to go to Hu's house to inquire. If there really is anything to do with the Peace Mine. I'm sure the Hu family will always know something. It just so happens that I have always had a good relationship with the third child of the Hu family. I'll go to Hu's house and see if I can find out something. ”

The middle-aged man nodded.

"That's okay, this matter will trouble the junior brother. Your sister-in-law and I will go by the way to help Jiaojiao go through the admission procedures. During this time, we will stay at your sister-in-law's mother's house. As soon as there is news, you can go directly to your sister-in-law's house and go to us. By the way, do you remember where your sister-in-law's family lives?"

Monk Tianyi grinned greatly.

"I don't know. Don't forget that when you and your sister-in-law fell in love, I didn't help you with anything. ”

The middle-aged man patted Tianyi's bald head and glanced at Tianyi with threatening eyes, and Tianyi shrunk his neck.

"You kid. Then let's go, you can tell me as soon as there is news. Don't act alone, I know you kid has been here for a long time, and he can't sit still for a long time. ”

Tianyi carefully looked at Ouyang Lanlan's face, making sure that she didn't seem to understand what she just said, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he patted his chest and assured his senior brother.

"Senior brother, don't worry. This kind of thing that can't even be counted as a host, I don't have the courage to get involved. I still have this self-knowledge, if only I could do it. The host won't send you, senior brother. I know how to do this, don't worry, brother. ”

Zhao Yi pointed at him with his finger and said.

"You. ”
