The red sun rises in the east, and the sky gradually reveals the white of the fish's belly.

South of Chang'an City.

On the dragon's head.

One by one, the altars rose from the ground, the statues of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats stood in order, the incense table had already been paved, and the monks who came and went saluted sincerely.

There are seven altars at the festival, each with 12 altars, under which countless people gathered, in addition to ordinary people, dignitaries from all walks of life also came to worship.

Occasionally, you can see some Taoist monks stopping to watch from a distance, although the water and land puja is not taboo in faith, and the wish of all sentient beings is promoted, but even if those Taoist monks have the heart to observe, they still can't pull their face after all.

Among the seven mandalas, two are set aside for the two major Buddhist holy places, namely Jinshan Temple and Daci'en Temple.

At this moment, the mandala belonging to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple was already full of people, and an elder was holding vows and reciting Buddha on the altar to celebrate the people who had just lost their loved ones.

On the other hand, Jinshan Temple belongs to the mandala of Jinshan Temple, but it is a little deserted at this time.

First, because Chang'an City is too far away from Jinshan Temple after all, and the monks who came only accounted for one-tenth of Jinshan Temple, which was already sparsely populated.

Second, it was also because Fa Ming, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, had just passed away last night, and the monks did not have much interest in preaching the Fa.

Therefore, on the altar at this time, except for some ordination monks who ushered in and sent them, only Xuan Qi sat in the middle, silently reciting the scriptures in his mouth.

Although there were golden lotuses flowing out of his mouth, he looked solemn, but after all, he was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and because he was too young, he seemed a little unable to suppress the scene.

'Senior brother...... Where have you been......

'Why haven't the four elders come yet......

Previously, before dawn, the Jinshan Temple and his party had already come to the mandala, but as soon as they came, Lin Buyi accompanied Fa Gang and disappeared into the crowd, and when he left, he only asked Xuan Qi to stay and preside over the situation, and then disappeared completely.

It's been almost two hours, and they still haven't come back, although there are not many people in the audience, but there are still people who occasionally point in this direction.

If this continues, the majesty of Jinshan Temple will be gone......

At first, I thought that although this festival was grand, as long as the abbot Fa Ming came, it would be enough, so all the elders in the temple stayed in the temple and never came.

Last night, Abbot Fa Ming suddenly passed away, and everyone who came immediately flew eagles to spread a message, informing the elders in the temple to rush over immediately, but if it was completely bright today, those elders ...... Still reluctant to show up.

While chanting, Xuan Qi secretly looked at the Quartet, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he almost shouted-

"Senior brother is finally willing to show up!"

I saw Lin Buyi's solemn expression, slowly walked out of the crowd, and then walked onto the altar and came to Xuan Qi.

"Senior brother, replace me. ”

Lin Buyi said softly, and then sat down cross-legged.

Xuan Qi obediently stood up and walked to the side.

In the previous two hours, Lin Buyi followed Fa Gang, first went to pay homage to Huikong, the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple, at that time, Yuanjue had already told everything that happened yesterday, and then Huikong began to dispatch the monks of the Great Ci'en Temple to secretly investigate around Longshouyuan.

Then he searched around, flying in mid-air to look down on the entire field, almost looking around, but he couldn't find a trace of the monster.

And I didn't see the Dragon King of the Jing River.

After a night, Lin Buyi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his words in the Dragon Palace still had some effect.

However, if this Jinghe Dragon King gave up the order appointed by the Heavenly Court, then why didn't he come to the Buddha Gate for help?

Before these things were resolved, Lin Buyi didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, but at the moment, he was in the light and the enemy was in the dark, and it was not a solution after all.

That's why Lin Buyi came up with this method - let himself find a way to become the focus of everyone, and after attracting his attention, he led those demon kings to make a move.

At first, Fa Gang didn't agree, but later, at Lin Buyi's insistence, he finally made a compromise, so he asked Huikong to send a group of elder-level monks to secretly lurk outside the altar, as long as the demon king showed up, he immediately took it down.

Although this move is quite dangerous, for Lin Buyi, if he can't solve the demon kings at this time, the crisis he will face in the future may be even more serious.

So, as soon as he sat down, there was a commotion in the crowd under the stage.

"This is the reincarnation of that Arhat?"

"I heard from the elders of the Great Ci'en Temple earlier that Master Xuanzang is a new generation of handsome figures in Buddhism, and his magic power is very profound!"

"I just don't know...... If you ask him for a son, will it be fulfilled......

Listening to the voice from the audience, although Lin Buyi was vigilant, he still wanted to laugh.

Whether it was in his previous life or now, he is an old bachelor, looking for him to ask for a son...... Why don't you go back and worship the chastity archway......

However, the abbot of the Temple of Mercy and Grace Huikong is generally knowledgeable, and Jinshan Temple is the 'rival' of the Great Temple of Mercy and Grace, but he is willing to take the initiative to promote himself, although it is mainly to attract those demon kings, but this style, Lin Buyi is still very appreciative.

After all, he was mainly active in the area of Jinshan Temple before, which was quite far away from Chang'an City, and he was not famous here, but now he has Ci'en Temple to do publicity, which can be regarded as boosting the morale of Jinshan Temple in the case of the death of Master Fa.

Just when Lin Buyi's thoughts were flying, a voice like thunder suddenly came from the audience:

"Monk, I heard that your Dharma is profound, how about I come to test you today?"

Lin Buyi looked at it, and saw that in the crowd, a tall strong man was standing with his hands in his hands at the moment, looking towards him.

The strong man was nearly two meters tall, but he wore two buns on both sides of his head.

If you don't look at your hair, you'll be like a boy in a gym.

When everyone saw that this man with a big waist and a round waist was full of meat, they immediately made way for him.

"Please. ”

Lin Buyi just smiled and nodded, his expression was not confused at all.

This water and land puja is aimed at promoting Buddhism, and as soon as this strong man opened his mouth, he said that he wanted to take the school exam, and Lin Buyi certainly did not want to refuse.

But I saw the strong man walking up to the stage step by step, and then stretched out the big hand on his waist to his chest, and then unfolded it, but saw that he was holding a small sparrow in his hand.

When his palm opened, the sparrow's wings fluttered immediately, but no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to fly away from his palm.

Everyone in the audience was amazed, and many people gathered to see how this strong man was going to 'take the school test'.

"Monk, do you see this bird in our hands, is it dead or alive?" the strong man smiled, and without waiting for Lin Buyi to speak, he continued:

"If you guess correctly, we will admit that you are a master of the Dharma, but if you guess wrong...... Then you, the monks of Jinshan Temple, are just some people who sell their reputations. ”

With that, he grabbed his big hand again, and the sparrow was firmly grasped in his hand.

When his voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.

In the crowd, a childish voice sounded: "Mother, the child just saw the sparrow, obviously alive, what is there to guess?"

Everyone looked back and saw a little boy and a woman standing beside him, who lowered her voice and said softly:

"Bao'er, if Master Xuanzang guessed that he was alive, then the man would pinch the sparrow to death, and if he guessed it to death, the sparrow would clearly be alive...... The people on the stage, this is a provocation......"
