The sun rises in the east, the sun shines through the clouds and falls on the Jinshan Temple, the morning bell rings, the sandalwood is permeated, and the sound of chanting echoes throughout the temple, a quiet and peaceful scene.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely the scene of the holy land of Buddhism, which can make them fascinated, but for the monks of Jinshan Temple, especially those young monks who have just become monks, all this in front of them is just a part of the boring life every day, and they have long been tired of it.

Crunch –

Monk Hui'an yawned while pulling the mountain gate open from it, the door had just opened a crack, his movements were stagnant, and the whole person was stunned.

"Uh......" Hui An looked blankly outside the mountain gate, rubbed his eyes vigorously, his expression was like a ghost, from the door to the bottom of the mountain, there were people standing everywhere he could see, muttering to himself: "Okay, many people...... What's going on? Why are there so many pilgrims here today?"

The reputation of Jinshan Temple is very great, it can be regarded as one of the best in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are endless pilgrims on weekdays, but it has never been like today, the mountain gate has just opened, and there is already a long queue outside, and most of the people inside are scholars such as Xiucai Jinshi, and the worst are also some rich squires.

As Hui An opened the door, everyone's eyes fell on him at once, making Hui Anzhong panic, his head was also blank, and he stood there in a daze, completely not knowing what to say or do, he had never encountered this situation.

"Little master, don't be nervous!" An old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old stepped forward, nodded towards Hui An, and said with a pleasant face: "I heard that the new champion is coming to your Jinshan Temple to give a lecture today, and I have come to listen to the teachings. You should go and inform your host so that he can prepare in advance, so that there will be no accidents in a hurry. ”

"The new champion is coming to our Jinshan Temple?" Hui An's eyes widened, his face was full of surprise, but soon the surprise turned into ecstasy, turned around and ran towards the temple, shouting as he ran: "Happy event! Great happy event! The new champion is coming to our Jinshan Temple! The new champion is coming to our Jinshan Temple!"

Famous all over the world, known as the "sage of the world" of the new branch champion to come to Jinshan Temple to give lectures, this is definitely a great news for Jinshan Temple, maybe from today, Jinshan Temple will be famous, no longer limited to this radius of thousands of miles, but really become a famous temple in the world, and that Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple, Luoyang White Horse Temple side by side.

Fahai was chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, when he suddenly heard the noise outside, his brows suddenly furrowed, he stood up and walked out, and asked, "Hui'an, what's the noise here?"

Hui An hurriedly bowed to Fahai and reported to Fahai that the new champion was going to come to Jinshan Temple to offer incense.

"Really, the champion of the new branch is coming to our Jinshan Temple, and it is really the blessing of the Bodhisattva!" The surrounding monks naturally knew what this meant, and their faces were full of irrepressible joy: "In this way, the incense of our Jinshan Temple will definitely be more prosperous than before, and it may become the largest temple in the south in the future, no, the largest temple in the world is also possible!"

"New Branch Champion Bai Shilin ......" Fahai frowned slightly, and was faintly uneasy in his heart, but the new branch champion wanted to come to Jinshan Temple to burn incense, and he had no way to stop it, his spells could be used to deal with monsters, and occasionally they would be used to transform mortals, but he couldn't make a move on a new branch champion, not only would he violate the rules of heaven, but he couldn't afford the cause and effect.

Fahai instructed: "Hui'an, you go to the temple gate and bring in all the donors, let the kitchen prepare some hot water, now that the autumn cold has risen and the mountains are wet, don't let them get sick." Huiqing, you lead a group of senior brothers to clean up the inside and outside of the temple, and the rest of the people will follow me to the mountain gate to greet the new champion!"

The development of Jinshan Temple is related to the interests of each monk himself, and the champion of the new branch wants to come to the incense, so he does not dare to have any slackness, and he is busy according to the instructions of Fahai.

However, only an hour later, I saw a group of people from the direction of Hangzhou coming towards Jinshan Temple from a distance, in front of the official messenger to open the way, behind is a group of Hangzhou officials, in the center of the crowd is their long-awaited champion of the new department.

The crowd of people who were still quietly waiting outside the Jinshan Temple suddenly boiled, crowded to both sides of the mountain road, stood on tiptoe, and their expressions were full of excitement and excitement, just waiting for the arrival of the champion.

Fahai also led a group of monks to greet him, and when he was in the mortal world, he had to follow the rules of the mortal world, folded his hands, and bowed to the Hangzhou prefect and his officials: "Amitabha, the poor monk has seen the prefect!

"Zen Master Fahai, today's protagonist is not me!" The prefect of Hangzhou pulled Xu Shilin to his side, looking very close, and said: "This is this year's new champion, I am just accompanying Zhuang Yuanlang today, you must entertain him well!"

Is this Fahai? Why is it completely different from what Aunt Qing said?

Xu Shilin was also looking Fahai in front of him up and down, wearing a goose-yellow monk's hat, embroidered with a golden word "Buddha" on it, wearing a robe, hanging some Buddha treasures on it but not gorgeous, white eyebrows and long beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

He is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, his mind is transparent, although he can't see through people's hearts, he can also distinguish the truth from the false, and he can see that the Fahai in front of him is not pretending to be compassionate, but really so, which is completely inconsistent with the right and wrong and violent temper in Xiaoqing's mouth.

Fahai folded his hands, recited Amitabha, and asked, "I wonder if Zhuang Yuanlang will go directly to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to offer incense, or will he walk with the poor monk in this Jinshan Temple first?"

"No! There are so many temples in the world, there are thousands of Daxiong Treasure Hall alone, there is nothing to see!" Xu Shilin waved his hand, he didn't come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and said straight to the point: "It's that Leifeng Pagoda, I have admired the name for a long time, but today I need trouble Zen Master to take me to see it!"

Twenty years have passed, and this kid has already been a top student in high school!

Fahai couldn't help but sigh secretly, he didn't need to use spells to investigate at all, he knew that the champion in front of him was the son of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

Because Xu Shilin's appearance is too similar to Xu Xian, it is almost carved out of a mold, but the temperament of the two is completely different, Xu Xian's eyes have always flickered and looked inferior and cowardly, while Xu Shilin's eyes are deep and bright, his expression is frank and calm.

"If Zhuang Yuanlang wants to see it, then come with the poor monk!" Fahai glanced at Xu Shilin deeply, and did not refuse, and he had no reason to refuse.

Xu Shilin breathed heavily, and he didn't even feel the slightest nervousness when he went to the temple, but at this moment, even his body was trembling slightly, his hands were shaking and stretching, and after a while, he barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, followed closely behind Fahai, and walked in the direction of Leifeng Tower.

The officials behind them and the squire scholars who had been waiting on both sides for a long time didn't know the inside story, but they just said that this champion was really interested in Leifeng Tower, followed them, and swarmed towards Leifeng Tower.

"This is Leifeng Tower!"

Soon, Fahai led Xu Shilin to the outside of Leifeng Tower.

This Leifeng Pagoda is octagonal, 73 meters high, the ground is divided into 13 weights, the whole is built with blue bricks and stones, decorated with the stone railing carved by white marble, the doors and windows are closed, the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues are carved on it, giving people a sense of majesty and solemnity.

"Is this the place where my mother has been imprisoned for twenty years?" Xu Shilin looked at the Leifeng Pagoda in front of him, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice towards Fahai in front of him: "Please Zen Master open this Leifeng Pagoda! I want to go in and have a look!"

"No!" Fahai shook his head.

"No?" Xu Shilin's eyes flickered with coldness, his face turned cold all of a sudden, and he said word by word: "Then what if I have to open it today?"

"No!" Fahai shook his head again.

Xu Shilin's face became more and more cold, staring at Fahai in front of him, he felt like a spring breeze before, but at this time, it was like a cold winter wax moon, which made people feel daunting.

But Fahai did not waver in the slightest, his eyes looked directly at Xu Shilin, like an ancient well, without the slightest wave.

The prefect of Hangzhou on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Zen Master Fahai, since Zhuang Yuanlang wants to go in and have a look, you can send someone to open the door of this tower, don't do it for this trivial matter!"

"That's right! Zen Master, you will open this Leifeng Pagoda today, and tomorrow I will send someone to build ten pagodas for Jinshan Temple!

"Yes! Yes! Ten is not enough, there are twenty, and the Buddha hall and the golden Buddha statue are not a problem! Don't let Zhuang Yuanlang ruin the fun!"

"I can build an Arhat Palace......"

......

The crowd around shouted one after another, as long as they could show their faces in front of Zhuang Yuanlang, let alone build a Buddhist hall, they could buy even a mountain.

"No!" Fahai's attitude did not change, and he said lightly: "This matter is not a trivial matter! This Leifeng Pagoda suppresses the monsters that have violated the rules of heaven, and without the will of the Bodhisattva, no one can open it!"

As soon as he heard about the monster, the voices of the people around him suddenly lowered a few decibels, and there was a little more fear and timidity on his face.

"Monster, Bodhisattva, hmph, who knows if you, a monk, are talking nonsense and being alarmist there! In this world, there are more people in this world who do illegal things in the name of gods, Buddhas, and monsters!" Xu Shilin snorted coldly and said to the left and right: "Come on, go and open this Leifeng Pagoda for me!"

Most of the officials were obviously hesitant on their faces, and they didn't dare to step forward, but there were also those who boldly didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with Zhuang Yuanlang, so they strode forward, picked up the knife in their hands and slashed towards the gate of Leifeng Tower.

As soon as the knife was about to slash at the tower door, he saw a flash of golden light, and the official flew out directly, and then he heard a loud voice coming out: "Bai Suzhen violates the rules of heaven and heaven, unless the West Lake is dry and Leifeng Pagoda falls, no one is allowed to see her!"

Xu Shilin's face changed, and before he could speak, another voice came out of the sky.

"The West Lake is dry, and the Leifeng Pagoda is down, can my sister come out? Okay! Then I'll give it a try today!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw that in the void, a huge and incomparably large frog suddenly appeared, thousands of feet long, thick and thin like a mountain peak, and its scales flashed under the light of thunder.

Sou!

A black lotus flew out of the mouth of the frog, the ghostly light burst out, hanging down in the West Lake below, straight into the bottom of the lake, and then saw that the ghostly light was connected with each other, while blocking the various inlets of the West Lake, while turning into a huge bowl, scooping up the entire West Lake water, there was no drip left.

In an instant, the West Lake dried up!
