Los Angeles, one of the ten big cities in Zhongzhou, is also famous in Zhongzhou, its status can be seen in general, not for others, mainly thanks to the southwest of the city of Buddhism giant Qing Lei Yin Temple, it has almost become the outer door of Lei Yin Temple, just into the city, a strong sandalwood fragrance will come to the face, suddenly people are refreshed, even the long-term journey of Ming Xuan can not help but be shocked, dismounted and walked into the city with his head held high.

Because it is located at the foot of Mida Mountain, Luocheng is deeply influenced by Leiyin Temple, the whole capital has simply become the peripheral reception of the temple, everywhere are pious pilgrims from all over Zhongzhou who come to incense, bustling and very lively, there are also many monks wearing monk's robes shuttling among them; compared with other prosperous capitals, there is obviously not so strong commercial atmosphere and impetuous people's hearts, but there is a little more peace and indifference, obviously Leiyin Temple has brought down the breath of the entire Buddhism, so it can also be seen from one side that the Leiyin Temple is extraordinary。

The city is very lively, due to the deep education of Buddhism, the people and merchants here are obviously more humble and kind than other places, all of them seem to be kind and kind, people have a feeling of being like a spring breeze, the mood is a lot calmer, the items in the shops here are also full of everything, especially the shops that buy and sell incense, they can be seen everywhere, and the business is quite good, although the tavern is also full of wine, the cups are staggered, but there is no noisy sound, lively but not noisy.

Ming Xuan casually strolled, the people here are very kind to people, especially for those monks are very pious, from time to time, almost every shop pù will set aside a place to worship the Buddha statue, in order to be able to live a peaceful life is also used to seek a good fortune, the characteristics of the city are all kinds of Buddhist ornaments, rosaries, robes, Buddha statues of the golden body, peace charms of all kinds of everything, but also let Ming Xuan open his eyes, can not help but also full of curiosity about the Lei Yin Temple.

After shopping for a long time, Mingxuan found a restaurant to eat something, the best way to get familiar with a city is to go to the restaurant to get to know, here is usually mixed, well-informed, not only can know the style of the whole city, but also can find all kinds of hungry gossip, but the authenticity of the news is yet to be screened.

The restaurant is also deeply influenced by Buddhism, the menu is mostly vegetarian, but Ming Xuan is not picky, ordered a few small dishes at will, the restaurant business is good, basically it is full, not compared to the hustle and bustle of other restaurants, it seems very harmonious and natural here, as if eating at home, Ming Xuan also enjoys this feeling.

"Little brother, can I share a seat with you?" Mingxuan's dishes were just served on the table and were about to be eaten, when two people came over to talk.

Ming Xuan looked up, it was a middle-aged man in his thirties, his face was already covered with traces of the vicissitudes of time, carrying a bag, his hands were covered with thick calluses, and his whole body was tanned, he was looking at Ming Xuan with anticipation, at first glance, he was a simple country man, and next to the middle-aged man was a young man in his early tens, who should be his son, who looked about the same age as Ming Xuan, but it was much stronger than Ming Xuan, tall and very stocky, and he was about to catch up with his father, but it looked like it was obviously the first time to go out, and he had never seen the world。 It was the time of the meal, and the business of the tavern was good, and it was indeed full.

"It's okay, let's go together. Ming Xuan smiled kindly, vacated the space, and the middle-aged man couldn't stop saying thank you, and led the young man to sit down.

After a while, their dishes were also ready, but the two fathers and sons were obviously poor, so the two of them ordered a small dish and ate the steamed buns they brought, but these obviously couldn't satisfy the young man's appetite, his mouth was stuffed with food, but his eyes were staring at the wine and food on Mingxuan's side, and his saliva was about to flow out, which looked very interesting.

Ming Xuan looked at his expression, and couldn't help but laugh, in fact, he was not much different from this young man's age, and the young man's size was much bigger than Ming Xuan, but he had been deeply trained since he was a child, and now Ming Xuan, who has been trained in the rivers and lakes for so long, has become a lot more capable, and his behavior is becoming more and more like an adult, which makes people can't despise him, which is far from being comparable to this young man.

"Come, I can't finish all these dishes, why don't we eat them together. Ming Xuan pushed his dish over and said enthusiastically.

"How can this be done, no need, no need! we can eat enough of this. The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and said with a smile.

"My father said that we don't have much money...... the young man muttered quietly, and before he finished speaking, he was beaten by his father and didn't dare to say anything, the middle-aged man looked at Ming Xuan and smiled awkwardly, very embarrassed.

"It's okay, just eat! These are all mine, I can't finish eating too much, but don't just waste it. Ming Xuan smiled understandingly, but his heart was sour, he had also lived a hard life before, and he knew that life was not easy, and ordinary people could save everything when they went out.

The middle-aged man couldn't see that these were just Mingxuan's kindness, and he still tried his best to refuse, but after all, he still couldn't say that Mingxuan, and the children around him were indeed hungry and greedy, so he no longer insisted, but he still didn't move Mingxuan's dishes, but the young man began to eat very happily, and the amount of food was also very amazing, and he had already eliminated four steamed buns and two large dishes in a short period of time.

"What do you call uncle? Although Mingxuan was very enthusiastic, the middle-aged man still couldn't let go.

"My name is Xiong Si, this kid's name is Xiong Hei, just call him Heizi, and we will live at the foot of Mida Mountain. After chatting about the day, Xiong Si relaxed a lot.

"Oh, then you came to Los Angeles to go to the Leiyin Temple to offer incense. Ming Xuan said with a smile and gave him some food.

"We didn't go to Leiyin Temple to offer incense, I wanted to send Kuroko to Leiyin Temple for selection. The middle-aged man hurriedly replied, he was embarrassed not to eat Mingxuan's dishes.

"Selection?" this Ming Xuan didn't understand.

"At this time in previous years, Leiyin Temple will select a group of children to go to Leiyin Temple to do novices, if the qualifications are good, they can be appreciated, and they can stay in Leiyin Temple for practice, even if the qualifications are mediocre, as long as you want to stay, you can also do chores in Leiyin Temple, and there will be a certain amount of monthly money every month, although it is hard, but it is much better than farming at home!" Xiong Si said excitedly, obviously full of expectations.

"Is that so?" Ming Xuan really didn't know this.

"As long as you are under the age of fifteen, you can participate, Kuroko is already thirteen years old this year, he didn't come last year because of something in the field, this year he has to try his luck with anything! Xiong Si said helplessly, after all, who wants to let a child be separated from his parents at such a young age.

"Didn't you say that you can stay regardless of your qualifications, why do you have to try your luck?" Ming Xuan was puzzled, and he also knew his difficulties.

"Even if it is a selection, how can it be so easy, when the time comes, there will be a series of exquisiteness, a series of elimination, and in the end, only one hundred of them will be selected, you must know that there will be thousands of people participating in the selection!" Xiong Si obviously learned more after some inquiry.

"Only a hundred people will be selected out of a few thousand! This kind of selection is too cruel!" Ming Xuan not only smacked his tongue, but it would be an easy matter to worship under the sect of the Buddha Giant Qing Lei Yin Temple.

"Yes, but it would be nice if I was chosen, even if I was a miscellaneous person in the temple, I would have a tael of silver per month, and I was not very tired, and I could eat and live, which was much better than farming!

"Dad, can I not go, can I eat less and work more in the future?"

"Alas, just those few acres of land at home are really unsustainable, and Dad can't help it. Xiong Si couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle Xiong, when did the selection start?" Ming Xuan was suddenly full of curiosity about this selection, if he hadn't made up his mind to join Qingyangmen, he couldn't help but want to try it, after all, it was the Buddha Sect Giant Qing Lei Yin Temple!

"We will come out on time, and the selection will start the day after tomorrow, why? Little brother also wants to participate?" Xiong Si said in a humble voice.

"I didn't have any intention of participating, but I wanted to see it. "Qingyangmen is on the same level as Leiyin Temple, maybe there will be similar selections, and it will not be a bad thing to know more.

"That's okay, we can be together then!" Xiong Hei smiled happily, he was beaten up with his father along the way, and he couldn't say a few words, and he finally met a peer to accompany him, naturally he was very happy, and the habits of the teenager were undoubtedly revealed.

After eating, Ming Xuan quietly settled their share together, which made Xiong Si also shirk for a while, saying that he would return the money to him, but Ming Xuan was more accountable than these, but saw Xiong Si so stubborn and so sincere, but he deeply understood what Guo Jieren said.

"Uncle Xiong, it's not too early, where are you staying, how can I find you tomorrow?" Tong Guò talked to them, although the selection started only after tomorrow, but the Leiyin Temple is in the depths of Mida Mountain, and it will take a day to think of it, so I have to start my journey tomorrow.

"Well, let's just find a sheltered corner and lie down for the night. Xiong Si pretended to be relaxed and said, obviously this is how he came along the way.

"Otherwise, let's find an inn to live in, I'm going to prepare for the selection tomorrow, but I can't get a cold at this time, then the gains outweigh the losses, don't worry, I'll pay for the room, I can recognize Kuroko as my younger brother." Ming Xuan said.

"Yes, yes, it's windy outside! Xiong Hei immediately clapped his hands, obviously not understanding the pain of life.

"Well, that's the same thing, so be it. Xiong Si hesitated, and wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Kuroko, he reluctantly agreed.
