Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located on the waterside of West Lake in Lin'an City, backed by the North Peak, facing the West Mountain Feilai Peak, and Zhenjiang Mansion Jinshan Temple, Pingjiang Mansion Hanshan Temple and called the three temples of Nanzong, it is a famous thousand-year-old temple in the Great Song Dynasty.

The incense in the temple is prosperous, and the abbot of this generation, Huiyuan, is a monk who has been awarded the title of "Blind Hall Elder" by Emperor Wu of the current dynasty.

The night is quiet, a round of crescent moon is like a hook, under the shadow of the moon, only to see a bright light in the temple.

It belongs to the Lingyin Temple Dharma Hall, which is an ancient Zen temple that hangs alone on the cloud valley of the back mountain, and is specially designed for the Shamen disciples who violate the precepts in the Forbidden Temple.

In the silent nunnery, a clay statue of Arhat stands in the center of the main hall, there is a rosewood offering table in front of the Buddha statue, a bronze Buddha lamp is placed on the table, and a seven-colored glazed fire is burning in the bronze Buddha lamp.

A pious young monk is sitting cross-legged on a bright yellow futon on the stone floor in front of the offering table in the nunnery, as if in a state of meditation.

The young monk looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round head, a handsome face, a moon-white monk's robe, and a string of ochre-colored prayer beads hanging from his chest.

His eyes were always closed, and complex soul-attracting seals were constantly formed on his hands, and there were words in his mouth: "The heavenly soul is the fetal light, the earth soul is the cool spirit, and the human soul is the ghost." I summoned the soul of Li Xiuyuan of the human race with the body of the Arhat Yin God, and the soul returned. ”

The young monk let out a low sigh and opened his eyes violently.

Two golden rays of light shot out from his eyes, and when he met the eyes of the dragon descending Arhat Buddha statue in the hall, a trace of the remaining soul flew out of the golden body of the Arhat clay sculpture and merged with the soul in the young monk's ancestral aperture.

I don't know how long it has been, the lamp oil in the bronze Buddha lamp has finally burned out, after a burst of incense mist, the seven-colored glazed fire was suddenly annihilated, and a seven-colored treasure fan made of seven kinds of strange birds appeared out of thin air on the offering table in front of the Buddha.

"Hahaha, seventeen years, my Li Xiuyuan's soul finally got out of this clay golden body, from this moment on, the poor monk is the reincarnation of the dragon Arhat, the disciple of the abbot of Lingyin Temple, Master Daoji. ”

Li Xiuyuanlang laughed, and picked up the seven-colored glazed fire on the rosewood offering table. After getting it, the original dazzling Seven Birds Treasure Fan quickly dimmed, and finally turned into a pale yellow banana fan full of cracks.

The Five Flames and Seven Fowls Fan was originally the back hand left by the Dragon Descending Arhat before he was reincarnated, but unfortunately he only collected all the seven fowl feathers, and was forced to reincarnate before he had time to collect the five fires, so this Seven Fowl Treasure Fan was only a semi-finished product.

Inserting the worn-out banana fan into his waist at will, Li Xiuyuan pushed open the monk's door of the meditation room, and let the breeze and bright moon in the mountains enter his arms.

In fact, Li Xiuyuan was able to get out of the clay golden body, all thanks to the gentle knock of the abbot of Lingyin Temple three days ago in front of the forehead of the Taoist monk.

Three days ago, the monk Daoji, who had entered the Lingyin Temple from Tiantai Mountain for less than two months, could not bear the hard life of the monks, so he stole the seven treasures of the monk's robes from the monk Guangliang of the temple, took them to the pawnshop in Lin'an City to exchange some money, and bought some wine and food for himself.

It's just that the matter is not secret, and the fact that the Daoji monk stole the monk's clothes from the monk Guangliang Qibao in the temple was soon found out by the monks of the Lingyin Temple, and after that, the law enforcement monks took the monk Daoji to the hall for trial.

Guangliang, a monk in charge of the temple, stepped forward with the monk Daoji and said to the abbot of Huiyuan: "Qi Yu my master, this temple set up the rules and precepts, is to order the monks in the temple to keep it, and the Daoji disciple has been crazy since he entered the temple, and has broken the precepts of Buddhism many times, he does not chant scriptures, does not sit in meditation, drinks and eats meat, and roars in front of the Buddha. Today, he stole the Seven Treasures monk's robe given to his disciple by the master, and the disciple has committed the Dharma of Buddhism, and the disciple implores my master not to tolerate it again, destroy the Daoji's degree, and expel him from the temple. ”

Seeing that the abbot, the elder and the supervisor were all there, the Daoji monk was also frightened by this battle, and he stood in the Dharma hall, speechless.

Lingyin Temple abbot blind hall Huiyuan Zen master knocked on the monk's bed knocking on the wooden fish, for a long time, he proclaimed the Buddha's name, sighed and replied to the Guangliang monk: "Amitabha, the Buddha is vast, how can you not allow a monk?"

The punishment given by the temple to expel the temple is too heavy, according to the poor monk's opinion, so he ordered Dao Ji to practice penance in the nunnery outside the back mountain for half a year, meditate on his own mistakes, I don't know how to pass on the gong, what do the two brothers and disciples of law enforcement think?"

Law enforcement elder Hui Qing and Gong Elder Hui Ming both kept silent and bowed their heads silently. Seeing that the abbot and the elders had made a decision, Guangliang, the monk who supervised the temple, had no choice but to respond.

After saying this, Yuan Blind Hall glanced at the Taoist monk under the Dharma Hall, who was not obvious and had a confused spirit, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I saw the abbot of Huiyuan fall off the meditation bed, slowly walked to the body of the monk Daoji, he knocked on the head of the monk Daoji with the gandzhi that struck the wooden fish, and secretly taught: "Although the Dharma is empty, it is not without reality. A drop is a success, and a word is a benefit. But if you really cultivate, why not play the game? The importance of the Fa is the wisdom of the good roots. The ring of Buddhism, wine and wealth. There are many things to do, and nothing is wasted. Don't be foolish, be cautious in your words and deeds. Daoji, are you enlightened?"

The method of percussion and enlightenment performed by the Far Blind Hall on the Taoist monk has a great origin, and it is called the Immortal Fume Peak in the Daomen, and the Buddhism Gate calls it the technique of Daigo empowerment.

Abbot Huiyuan's original intention was to help the Daoji monk open Su Hui and understand the past and present lives, but he didn't want to, but his move was cheap to save an otherworldly soul trapped in the golden body of the Dragon Arhat in the Dharma Hall.

In his previous life, Li Xiuyuan and three or two friends made an appointment to travel to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, and when he passed by the Arhat Temple, he accidentally raised his head and glanced at the Buddha statue of the Arhat who descended the dragon.

After looking at each other, he only felt that the sky was spinning, and the entire divine soul came out of his body, and when he opened his eyes again, his divine soul was trapped in the golden body of the dragon descending arhat in the Dharma Hall of the Lingyin Temple in this different world.

Sitting in the golden body of the dragon descending Arhat and being worshiped by incense for seventeen years, his divine soul has already been cultivated into a yin god, and he doesn't want to enter the spiritual aperture of the Taoist monk in the Qianzhi knock of the far blind hall today.

When Li Xiuyuan's divine soul flew out from the golden body of the descending dragon arhat and invaded the body of the Daoji monk, Abbot Huiyuan naturally noticed it.

It's just that Yuan Blind Hall knew that this Daoji monk was the reincarnation of the Dragon Descending Arhat, and he thought that this Yin Soul was also the back hand left by the Dragon Descending Arhat when he was reincarnated. Therefore, not only did he not stop Li Xiuyuan from taking away the Daoji monk, but he also moved the golden body of the dragon descending arhat in the Dharma Hall to the Zhinian Nunnery afterwards, which directly helped Li Xiuyuan to fuse the remnant soul.

In his previous life, Li Xiuyuan was taken away by the Dharma body of the Dragon Descending Arhat, and in this life, he seized the reincarnated body of the Dragon Descending Arhat by chance.

It's just that after Li Xiuyuan fused the memories of the Daoji monk and the dragon descending Arhat, he found that although he became the master of Daoji in Lingyin Temple, this place was no longer the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty in this life is no longer the same thing as the two Song Dynasty in his memory in his previous life.

In the Shenzhou Continent, monks and demons coexist.

The Great Song Dynasty is surrounded by the Great Jin, the Great Wei, the Great Qi, the Great Liang and the Great Chen, the Wei State, the Jin State, the Song State, the Qi State, the Liang State, the Chen State these six countries occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Shenzhou Continent, the vast grasslands in the north of the Shenzhou Continent are the territory of the barbarians, the Western Desert is the country of 3,000 Buddhas, the mountains and ravines in the southern wilderness, there are demon clans rampant, and the east is the endless sea that is rumored to be infested by the dragon.

"Hehe, for the Buddha Hall, sitting on the golden body clay sculpture for 17 years, but I have not yet felt the scenery of the Great Song Dynasty in this world, tonight the moon and stars are scarce, just to take a swim. ”

Li Xiuyuan laughed, walked out of the Zhinian Nunnery, and began to look at the world in front of him by the moonlight.

The whole nunnery covers an area of about ten acres, counting the Zen room is only eight or nine thatched houses, and the backyard is a vegetable garden of three or five acres, in which some fruits and vegetables have matured. Outside the courtyard wall of the vegetable garden is a dense mountain forest, and there are wild fruits and wild vegetables in the mountain forest to eat, but there is no need to worry about the livelihood problem in the next six months.

Li Xiuyuan stood outside the gate of the nunnery and looked at the edge of the surroundings, only to see that the cloud valley was deep, there were cliffs on all sides, and a plank road in front of it that connected to the Lingyin Temple was also banned.

Watching the mountain scenery on a moonlit night is also interesting.

"Hahaha, lift the sky as a quilt, pull the ground curtain to make a meditation bed, the breeze shakes a fan for me, and the bright moon lights a candle for me, this kind of life is the great pleasure that the world's masters have been pursuing!"

Li Xiuyuan let out a long roar, he pulled the moon-white monk's robe, lay sideways on a towering bluestone, leaned on the ground with his elbows, pressed his fist against his round head, and was about to fall asleep with the moonlight.

It's just that as soon as he lay down, he heard a slight noise under the bluestone, as if something was startled by the long howl he had heard before.

With a "whoosh", I suddenly saw a white shadow rushing out of the cave under the bluestone and fleeing towards the cliff of the West Mountain.

Li Xiuyuan was startled from the bluestone, and looked at the thing that came out, only to see that the white shadow was about three feet high, like a child, with arms longer than two knees, and a snow-white body, with a human-like face, but it was a wild white ape.

"Hey, it's a spirit ape with arms!" Li Xiuyuan's eyes froze, and he was a little happy to see the hunting, so he hurriedly flew up and chased after the white shadow towards the mountains and forests.

The gibbon spirit ape was running extremely fast in the mountains and forests, it walked like flying, and left Li Xiuyuan far behind in a few moves.

Li Xiuyuan was still chasing behind the white ape, this mountain area was not vast, and after dozens of breaths, the white ape had already run to the edge of the mountain and had to stop in front of the cliff.

The white ape glanced at the young monk who was chasing closer and closer behind him, and jumped directly off the cliff very decisively.

Li Xiuyuan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly accelerated his speed, ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and when he saw the situation below, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"Hehe, Brother Ape, the poor monk just wants to make friends with you, if you don't make friends, you won't make friends, and you don't have to be so strong, just jump off the cliff, right?"

Li Xiuyuan squatted on the edge of the cliff and laughed at the gibbon spirit ape hanging on the cliff and unable to move.
