5. Golden Lotus
"Master!"
Before Xuan Qi's words fell, he rushed over and hugged the monk in front of the door.
Lin Buyi was stunned for a moment, what emotions should he show?
If you go up and hug it directly, won't it look too contrived?
Forget it, I can't care so much, the old monk has the grace to raise Xuanku, and it is also appropriate to be excited.
"Master, you're back!"
After saying that, he also rushed forward and hugged Fakong.
Fakong squinted his eyes, the smile on his face did not diminish at all, and he stretched out his hand and touched the bald heads of the two brothers: "Not bad, yes, they have all grown up." ”
"Master, Senior Brother Xuanming...... He's gone!"
Before Fakong could ask questions, Lin Buyi took the lead.
He had already thought of a long list of explanations, and by the way, he planned to sell it again, after all, the old monk was also a monk, even if he was angry, he shouldn't be punished too heavily, right?
As he spoke, a glimmer of crystal flashed in his eyes.
The tone also has a crying tone.
"Master, blame me for not taking good care of my senior brother, you can punish me......"
Seeing that Lin Buyi cried when he said it, Xuan Qi's eyes suddenly widened, is the senior brother's acting path so wide......
"Clams?"
The old monk also couldn't react, and it took a while for a while to pop out a word.
Then he smiled and said, "Xuan Ming's physical body has been liberated and he has taken a step further on the road to his true self, you should be happy." ”
This time it was Lin Buyi's turn to be shocked......
"Master...... Don't you care why Senior Brother Xuanming passed away?"
"Between pitching, it's all fate, why bother?" Fakong smiled, laughing so hard that Lin Buyi's heart was a little hairy...... This old monk shouldn't have discovered anything, right?
But in the final analysis, Xuan Ming's death was still his own fault, and since the old monk did not pursue it again, Lin Buyi was also relieved.
It's a pity that I am full of drama...... It's going on nowhere......
"Master, let Xuanqi accompany you, and I'll go prepare some fasting meals. Lin Buyi retreated as he spoke, putting away his choked tone.
"There's no hurry. The old monk suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the arms of the two, sighed, and said earnestly: "Xuanming's temperament...... Hey, you've worked hard all these years. ”
Xuan Qi's expression was gloomy, and he lowered his head.
Lin Buyi hurriedly said: "It's not hard, isn't this the master back." ”
But I couldn't help but complain secretly in my heart: I know that you still leave it alone, and it will be six years if you throw it away!
"Master hasn't been back to the mountain for all these years, it's a hard time...... the old monk inadvertently rolled his eyes slightly, and immediately said: "Of course, it's also to temper your heart." ”
"Master, where have you been since you came down the mountain?" Xuan Qi raised his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said curiously.
The corner of the old monk's mouth suddenly brought a little smile: "Jinshan Temple." ”
Lin Buyi frowned, this name sounds familiar......
Then my heart tightened!
Jinshan Temple, Fahai, Xu Xian White Lady?
After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong.
The Story of the White Lady...... It seems to have happened during the Ming Dynasty, right?
"Master, what are you doing in Jinshan Temple, are you going to be the abbot?" Before Lin Buyi could ask, Xuan Qi took the lead in asking.
"Foolish apprentice, how could it be that the master has just left Deadwood Peak for a few years, how can he become the abbot of Jinshan Temple?"
The old monk stroked his beard as he spoke, and explained:
"Fa Ming, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, is the senior brother of the teacher, and he left the Jinshan Temple for his teacher 20 years ago to travel down the mountain, and then settled here.
Therefore, our Qingping Temple is also regarded as the outer gate side branch of Jinshan Temple.
Six years ago, Jinshan Temple suffered a great change, and Fa Ming called him back to the mountain as a teacher, but he was in a hurry, so he couldn't take you with him. ”
Hearing these words, Lin Buyi was relieved, fortunately the abbot was not called Fahai.
"This time I went back to the mountain, and the teacher is here to pick you up and go to Jinshan Temple. ”
"Why do you want to go...... Isn't Qingping Temple very good?" Xuan Qi's face pulled down again.
The little guy grew up in Qingping Temple since he was a child, and he has never been out of the Dead Wood Peak, so he is naturally a little reluctant.
Lin Buyi was overjoyed.
Jinshan Temple sounds like a lot more than the current small temple, wouldn't there be more opportunities for transcendence after going?
However, there are a lot of demons and monsters in this world, and after going, of course, it means more dangers.
"Xuanqi," the old monk touched Xuanqi's little bald head: "After this year, you will be thirteen years old, and your senior brother has reached the age of seventeen, and it is time to be ordained." ”
"Can't you take ordination on the Dead Wood Peak?" the little monk still insisted.
Lin Buyi thought about it and understood.
The so-called ordination means that in this world, after the Buddhist disciples reach the age of 16, they have to go through the process of burning incense on the top and burning the incense scars, which is equivalent to taking refuge in Buddhism for life in front of the Buddha.
"To be ordained, there must be five groups of bhikshus, bhikshunis, novices, novices, and shikshamanas, and our small temple can't even get together five people, let alone five people. The old monk explained again.
"Hmm......" Xuan Qi replied and lowered his head.
He respected Master the most, and when he saw that Master had always insisted, he did not refute it again.
"Master has traveled all the way, and he is also hungry, let's go eat first, and talk while eating. Lin Buyi made a round, and when he saw the old monk nodding, he walked towards the kitchen hall with Xuanqi.
............
An hour later.
Lin Buyi took the meal, followed behind Xuanqi, and walked into Fakong's meditation room.
But seeing Fakong's solemn expression, there was still some monkhood in his eyes, and he frowned and looked him up and down.
Seeing that Lin Buyi's heart was furious.
Then, seeing Fakong shook his head.
It's over, the old monk found out that he wasn't bitter?
"Xuan Ku," Fakong sighed faintly.
"What's the matter, Master?" Lin Buyi forced his composure.
"You two brothers and sisters, go to Jinshan Temple like this...... It's not good. ”
What does that mean?
Lin Buyi didn't have time to think about it, and Monk Fakong said again:
"Our Qingping Temple, although it is also regarded as the outer branch of Jinshan Temple, but after all, Jinshan Temple is solemn in Buddhism, and there are hundreds of disciples under it. ”
Disguised?
Is Buddhism so snobbish?
Lin Buyi was about to ask a question, but saw Monk Fakong reach into his arms and take out a paper bag:
"Fortunately, the teacher has been prepared. This is a treasure that was obtained when the teacher traveled in Cuiwei Mountain, and with it, you can ensure that the two of you are not bullied in Jinshan Temple. ”
As he spoke, he opened the paper bag.
As soon as he opened it, the table suddenly became full of golden light, and Lin Buyi suddenly felt the strong light dazzling, and looked at the table calmly.
But I saw that the golden light in the paper bag was actually emitted from the two petals, and when I looked closely, it seemed to be...... Lotus?
"This thing is the petal of the golden lotus of the Mystic Law, so take one of each of you and take it. ”
Lin Buyi put down the food in his hand, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Something that was discovered many years ago...... Can you still eat it?
No expiration date?
Seeing that Xuanqi didn't say a word, he stepped forward and picked up a petal.
"Senior Brother......" Before Lin Buyi could stop it, Xuan Qi had already put the petals in his mouth.
Half a day.
The expected scenario did not materialize, and Xuan Qi neither became strong nor showed any signs of poisoning.
Instead, he turned to look at Lin Buyi and smiled: "Senior brother eats too." ”
Lin Buyi breathed a sigh of relief, at least it shouldn't be highly toxic......
Pick up another petal and gently put it in your mouth.
As soon as the petals enter the mouth, it seems to have found a home, and in an instant, it seems to turn into a trickle, flowing down the mouth and into the throat.
Melt in your mouth!
Lin Buyi hurriedly closed his eyes and dived his mind into the system.
However, on the system interface, the properties have not changed......
"Master, this wonderful method golden lotus...... What's the use?" asked Xuan Qi.
The old monk squinted his eyes and smiled, and said incomprehensibly: "Take two steps." ”
"Huh?"
The old monk made another 'please' gesture: "It's okay, take two steps." ”
Lin Buyi and Xuan Qi stopped talking and took a step at the same time.
As soon as the soles of the two of them left the ground, they suddenly felt a pale pink halo emerge on the ground.
The halo of light spread out in an instant, forming a gorgeous brilliance that lingered around the two of them.
Xuan Qi was suddenly shocked: "This is ......"
The old monk nodded and said with a smile: "Step by step, lotus is born." ”
