The old monk invited the two to come to Puji Temple, and introduced their identities to the two on the way: "The poor monk and respect, because of the heavy dust, can not retreat and retreat, so he took up the secular position of receiving guests in the temple, which made the two laugh." ”

As he spoke, he came to the temple gate. The monk pointed to the carving of the Heart Sutra outlined in gold lacquer on the mountain stone on the side of the temple gate and said: "This Heart Sutra is what Ling Zun left back then. Lingzun's calligraphy attainments are profound, with Tai Chi into the word, and with the Dharma into the word, deep Prajna three flavors, so that people see the heart of pure faith, the victory of my Buddhism, the merit is immeasurable. Amitabha!"

Tian Xu said: "Amitabha! Ancestor created his own exercises from a mortal realm, and finally ranked at the peak of the cultivation realm, and his comprehension is beyond the reach of a child. Practicing the family tradition under the law is not successful, and it is really a shame for the ancestors. As he spoke, he bowed to the carved Heart Sutra, and then followed the monk into the temple.

After entering the mountain gate, the two entered the main hall under the guidance of the monk Hejing. The main hall of this Puji Temple is dedicated to the statue of Pilu Guanyin. The tall golden Dharma body of Pilu Guanyin sits on the lotus seat in the hall, and the Dharma statue is solemn and compassionate and compassionate, which makes people admire it at first sight. Tian Xu and Ziyan were prompted by the monk to worship the Buddha statue.

But just before Tian Xu knelt down, he felt a cool and thorough feeling spilling from the top of his head, and he actually eliminated the idea of kneeling, just tithe, and stood in front of the Guanyin statue with a smile and waited for the purple smoke to finish the prayer. Then he took out the gold in the space ring, handed it to the monk Hejing, and said, "I have a good relationship with Guanyin, but it is inconvenient to worship at this time. These mundane things, please ask the master to store, and when you mold the golden body of the Buddha statue in the future, you can also come in handy. ”

Knowing that they were not worldly people, the monk did not refuse, so he put the gold into the space of a string of prayer beads in his hand and said, "Okay." The meaning of the benefactor must have been known by the Bodhisattva, and the poor monk did not say much. In this temple and on the island, the donor can visit at will, or there may be a chance. ”

Tian Xu didn't believe in Buddhism as devout as his father, he just regarded them as a different school of cultivation, so he didn't care much about the opportunity in the mouth of the monk Hejing, but out of reverence for the high-level cultivation power, he regarded this matter as a thing that was not too unreliable, so he just responded politely and casually to Hejing's words, then said goodbye to Hejing, and took Ziyan to the mountain for a tour.

The area of Putuo Mountain Island is not large, and there is no special scenery, the so-called "Twelve Scenes" and the like are basically the Buddhist cultural landscapes on the island, Tian Xu doesn't care too much about this, just walks on the tree-lined path with Ziyan at will.

However, he didn't expect that just after bypassing Puji Temple, there would be an adventure.

On the mountain road, passing a few tourists, he saw a monk with shoulder-length hair and still wearing Buddhist clothes. To his surprise, his olfactory imaging did not detect the Daotong monk from a distance, and it was not until after Daotong entered his spiritual realm that he discovered that this realm had once again advanced greatly in the old knowledge.

At this time, just over half a year had passed since the last time they met at the Summer Cultivation Market, and Dao Tong had already crossed from the eighth order of Ning Dan when he saw it to the peak of Ning Dan now. The peak of Ning Dan mentioned here is not an ordinary polite statement, but it has indeed reached the peak realm of Ning Dan that is about to cross the tribulation and ascend, and there is almost no room for further progress before the ascension.

You must know that an ordinary cultivator, even if he has reached the ninth order of Ning Dan and wants to enter the peak of Ning Dan that is about to cross the tribulation, he also needs to have a special understanding of the cultivation concept, especially the aura, this process is often very long, sometimes even tens or hundreds of years, most cultivators are stuck in this realm for many years, unable to advance an inch, until the life span is exhausted, and it passes away. And the fat monk in front of him, who was beaten in front of Xu Jingyi more than half a year ago, was able to continuously advance step by step from the fifth order of Ning Dan to the peak of Ning Dan in more than half a year, what an incredible thing!

Just when Tian Xu realized that the fat man in front of him was the original Daotong monk, Daotong also recognized Tian Xu and greeted him first: "Ah, it's Lord Tian." Being able to meet the Tian donor before the catastrophe was a good indication of the Bodhisattva. ”

Tian Xu hurriedly returned the salute: "It's Master Daotong." I didn't expect that after half a year, the master's realm advanced so quickly, and he was about to cross the catastrophe. It can be seen that the master's cultivation talent is very amazing, admire, admire. ”

Dao Tong's face showed a look of shame, and he said solemnly: "The poor monk is fortunate to be enlightened by Master Xu, so that he can realize the truth of Buddhism and be able to advance. Now Master Xu is isolated in the fairy world, and the poor monk only wants to soar as soon as possible, and can help Master Xu. ”

When he first saw this Daotong monk in the Shouyang Mountain Villa, Tian Xu had no good impression of him because he was all the way with An Lijin and Hao Qi, who killed more than ten disciples of Xu Jingyi. Later, he was inspired by Xu Jingyi's exercises and left, and when they met again on Tiantai Mountain, Dao Tong had already changed his appearance, and he was extremely respectful to Tian Xu and Xu Jingyi, which made Tian Xu feel good. Goodbye at this time, the realm of this Daotong has reached the peak of Ning Dan, which is significantly higher than Tian Xu, but he is still respectful to Tian Xu, which greatly increases Tian Xu's favor.

So Tian Xu also returned the salute to Daotong Heshi and said: "Master Daotong, since you are facing the catastrophe now, I don't know how much you know about the catastrophe, and how sure you are?"

Daotong said: "Our Wutai Mountain faction has not succeeded in crossing the catastrophe for hundreds of years, and I have limited knowledge about the catastrophe. This time I came to this Putuo Mountain, hoping to get the guidance of the senior monks here while worshipping the Buddha. But the abbot here just asked me to worship in front of the statue of Guanyin in the main hall and recited the Heart Sutra for three days in a row, without giving me any guidance. At that time, the poor monk still had resentment in his heart. ”

"Later, I thought that as a disciple of Buddhism, it is also the right thing to pay respectful to the Buddha no matter what. It is not difficult for us cultivators to pray to the Buddha and recite sutras for three days in a row, and we should follow them. So I chanted in front of the statue for three days. ”

"I didn't expect that when I was reciting sutras to the Buddha, the cultivation realm was completely useless, and I could only rely on my own will to support it. After three days, I was exhausted. Just when I was drowsy, I suddenly fell asleep in a trance, and in my sleep, Master Guanyin appeared in front of me and announced to me: 'Daotong, although your heart is sincere, but your opportunity is not in the Buddha's gate, so I have no good Dharma to give you. Ten days later, you should come to the island and cherish it. 'Don't wait for the poor monk to worship Guanyin, and then wake up from a dream. ”

"I stayed on the island for ten days, and every day there were pilgrims, but I never saw anyone. Today, I saw the young man, and the poor monk knew that the opportunity shown by Guanyin should be fulfilled in the layman, and he also asked the layman to give a lecture. ”

After that, the monk Daotong Heshi knelt down, bowed respectfully in the direction of Puji Temple not far away, and thanked Guanyin Bodhisattva for his guidance in his dream.

The three of them talked on this path, the voice was not too small, and the guests passing by heard the fat man in monk clothes talking about dreaming of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and many people stood around and listened. At this time, when they saw him bowing in the direction of the temple, most of the people also looked up with their palms together in the direction of the temple.

At this moment, above the temple, there was a burst of clouds rising up, faintly condensing into a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in mid-air. The statue of Guanyin was dressed in white, holding a clean bottle, with a compassionate face, and smiled slightly at Daotong, who was kneeling down. When they saw this image, their hearts were shaken, and they fell to the ground. Only Tian Xu also smiled at the statue of Guanyin in the air, and only clasped his palms.

When Guanyin saw Tian Xu clasping his palms, he pulled out the poplar branch in the net bottle, and a little in the direction of Tian Xu, a drop of nectar appeared in front of Tian Xu, seeing that Tian Xu had no intention of catching it, the nectar paused slightly, and then fell on the top of Tian Xu's head, and then it was submerged. Guanyin saw Tian Xu showing a knowing smile, so he no longer looked at him, but said to the people who knelt on the ground: "Lost people, in times of danger, you should recite my name, and you will be saved from fire and water." There is great wisdom in a Heart Sutra, which should be pondered. The voice was clear and awe-inspiring.

The crowd bowed to the ground again, and the image of Guanyin had disappeared over the temple.

No one has ever heard of such a spectacle of Guanyin's manifestation. Unconsciously, everyone had a heart of faith, even tourists who did not believe in Buddhism fell to the ground one after another, and the same was true for Ziyan. Only Tian Xu is independent of the crowd, and he seems to stand out from the crowd. After Guanyin was invisible, he knelt down and worshiped everyone before he found that Tian Xu was different from everyone, and some tourists opened their mouths to ask Tian Xu why he did not respect the Bodhisattva. Tian Xu just smiled and said nothing, and did not distinguish.

Ziyan suppressed the curiosity in her heart, and didn't ask much, just stood beside Tian Xu. Daotong didn't ask either, but just identified Tian Xu as his destined person, and asked Tian Xu to guide him.

Tian Xu saw that there were pilgrims from the secular world all around, and it was inconvenient to talk about this cultivation-related matter, so he interrupted Daotong's words and asked, "I don't know if Master Daotong can fly? ”

Daotong said: "The poor monk has not studied the art of flying, but it should not be difficult to hold himself up and move forward in the air. ”

Tian Xu wanted to go to sea with Daotong to talk about the catastrophe and ascension because he felt a strong sense of depression on the island. This feeling of oppression comes from the power of the island.

He could vaguely feel that the Guanyin who displayed the image in the air was not a real Bodhisattva, but a master on this island who manifested and transmitted a message to the world through the mouth of Guanyin. The call he felt before he went to the island must have come from this great power. He didn't know the realm of this mighty man, and he didn't feel hostility from his thoughts, but that didn't stop him from being afraid of him. He felt in his heart that he was stripped naked in front of this great power, and there was nothing to hide, this feeling was really unpleasant, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid this master.
