"Lingyin Temple" is a well-known Buddhist temple in the world, has a long history, is located in the northwest of Yuhang Ancient County between the Feilai Peak and the North Peak in the foothills of Lingyin Mountain, the two peaks are confronted, the forest is towering, the ancient temple in the deep mountains, the clouds and smoke are all the forms, it is a simple and quiet Buddhist treasure land, it is very famous among the people, it is one of the famous temples in the south of the Central Plains through the ages.

Yuhangzhong, many ordinary people come here to worship incense, in order to seek the safety of the house, even more, do not hesitate to come all the way to pray for blessings and complaints, they firmly believe that the head is three feet, there are still gods, the heart is sincere, then the Buddhas are blessed, it is since ancient times, even if the dynasty changes, the Lingyin Temple has been incense continuously, the popularity is at its peak.

Lin Chen walked on the street, casually found a passerby, and asked the location of Lingyin Temple, although it was early in the morning at the moment, but there were a lot of people coming and going in the downtown area, there were houses and eaves on the side of the road, and there were also some shops, but more, it was some vendors who set up stalls directly on both sides of the road, walking along the street, the sound of selling was endless, it was really a picture of the world. The people of the three religions and the nine streams are even more varied, shouting, the scoundrels in the market fighting crickets, children frolicking, abounding, Lin Chen looked around with interest, and even bought a few roadside snacks, what surprised him was that these authentic snacks were actually full of taste, Lin Chen walked in the crowd like this, the corners of his mouth gradually showed some smiles, fireworks in the world, compared with the past years of cultivation, it seems that there is a different taste in his heart.

Just when Lin Chen was still comparing the past years, suddenly the streets in front of him were crowded, and the surrounding townspeople were even more quickened their pace, running to the front place, and occasionally heard a few people talking while walking: "Let's go, Zhang Zhenren is finally back, I heard that he traveled around the world to promote Taoism a while ago, and finally returned to Yuhang, many people are waiting to ask the old Taoist chief to survey a feng shui, cure some talismans or something, let's not lag behind——"

"I heard that some people are asking why Yuhang suddenly ran last night, and the wind and rain were frightened, and the old Taoist said that there were black fish in Xizi Lake, and the fish jumped over the dragon gate or something——"

"No, is that really true? Let's go and hear about it!"

......

Lin Chen heard what the townspeople said, he was stunned at first, and then he came to his senses, and under the slight shame, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that they were talking about the West Lake last night, what black fish jumped over the dragon gate, obviously his own flute voice was too engrossed, making the city full of wind and rain, it seems that this old way is also nonsense, gossip to confuse the public, these people with the name of Xuanmen Taoism, in the folk mixed wind and water, this way, it is not uncommon.

However, when Lin Chen's ears heard it, his curiosity was aroused, so he also walked forward with the flow of people to see what kind of character this real person was. I saw that the surrounding crowds had gathered, and after a short time, two or three hundred people surrounded themselves on the edge of a stone platform in the center of the town.

Lin Chen stood in the crowd, looked at the middle, and saw that the stone platform was more than half a person high, it looked quite smooth, and there was an old man with gray hair sitting on it, his face was clear, and he was holding a shabby whisk in his hand, which looked like a bit of fairy wind bones, which made people have a little respect for the first impression, and beside the old man, there was an eight, The nine-year-old little girl, with two pigtails and big black eyes, was smart and cute, and she was holding a string of candied fruit in her hand, eating with relish and looking at everyone with interest.

Seeing this little girl, Lin Chen suddenly felt good, and couldn't help but think of his little sister Chenxi, who was about the same age, and wondered if she was doing well now......

Seeing that the people were almost coming, Lao Dao gently beckoned to the townspeople below, and the townspeople gradually quieted down.

When it was completely quiet, the old man looked around, his tone was heavy, and he brushed the dust in his hand lightly, and said: "The old Taoist is originally a member of the Shanggong Gate of the Sanqing Dynasty in the Western Heavenly Kunlun, and he can't bear to see the suffering of the world, so he went down the mountain to promote the true law of Taoism, in order to do something for the common people in the world——"

For a while, everyone listened to the old Taoist words with deep meaning, and they all dared not come out, and their eyes at him were even more reverent, and the old Taoist who only listened to them said: "I didn't expect the old Taoist to return from traveling all over the world, and actually encountered this thousand-year-old black fish spirit who wanted to borrow the dragon vein weather of Yuhang, in order to cross the dragon gate in one fell swoop and transform into a real dragon, once successful, I am afraid that there is another earth-shattering demon in this world, fortunately let the old Taoist find it in time, and last night it was beaten back to its original form with Kunlun's peerless immortal technique - you see, this is the black fish essence!"

Speaking, Lao Dao gestured slightly to the little girl beside him, only to see that the little girl ate up the candied fruit in her hand in two or three bites, recited a few words in her mouth, and pinched a few tricks seriously, in the eyes of everyone's surprise, a wooden barrel came out of thin air and appeared in her little hand, in the barrel, a black carp with two palms to the size of the big swim quietly.

Under the stone platform, there was an uproar!

Looking at the little girl with a bit of awe, this hand out of thin air immortal law, really worthy of Zhang Zhenren's apprentice, what's more, the courage to step forward and take a few glances at the black carp, and then hurriedly retreated, looking at their appearance, but it was a lively look, as if to show others their boldness.

Many people have discussed-

"Fortunately, Daochang Zhang rushed back, otherwise we would be in great trouble in Yuhang!"

"Yes, Zhang Daochang is of course my living immortal in Yuhang, I will wait for him to ask him for Fu Jingzhai, and I will give up a lot of silver!"

......

In the crowd, Lin Chen was secretly amused, and then looked at the old Dao on the stone platform, and was looked at by the townspeople with admiring and adoring looks, and he was extremely proud in his heart, so he pretended to have a solemn and solemn face, coughed a few times, and said: "Since I came back this time, Lao Dao will stay in the Shangqing Palace in the west of the city for a few days, if you need anything, you can find me there——"

When this word fell, I only heard the surrounding people talk about the altar, many people spoke to each other, and the big families directly offered the gold, silver, yellow and white things, in order to ask for the safety of the house, the blessings of children and grandchildren, and even more, I was sincerely afraid to plead bitterly with the old Taoist who sat on the stone platform-

"I implore the old immortal for the sake of sincerity in the next piece, and the boy will be listed on the door wall for the time being!"

"Your Excellency's fate is not broken, you have a wife and children at home, and you can't meditate and practice, so please go back!"

"Hey, it's all my mother-in-law......"

"Please take me as an apprentice!"

"Poor Dao has nothing to do with you. ”

"Alas......"

"Dao Chief, what about me, do you see if my big cow has a good backbone, my strength is great, comparable to the big scalper in my family, how about being your apprentice?"

"Well, alas, the slots are full. ”

......

Lin Chen shook his head with a dark smile, withdrew from the crowd, and walked in the direction of Lingyin Temple, if it weren't for the fact that the little girl was so cute, he really couldn't see this old pretend, but he didn't walk for a while, and suddenly heard a voice behind him, with a bit of solemnity, and said: "Ah, this little brother, you are covered with dark clouds, and your body is dead, something is wrong!"

Lin Chen frowned lightly, and secretly wondered: How can I have a dead breath, I didn't have the anger to turn around and said, "What?", as he was talking, he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that the person who spoke behind him was the old man on the stone platform and the smart and cute little girl.

The old man looked at Lin Chen and turned around, this young man's eyes lit up, he looked at Lin Chen carefully, and was secretly frightened, but said in his mouth: "I see that little brother, your eyebrows are condensed, and Yintang is black, you must have encountered a blood-light catastrophe a while ago, right?"

Lin Chen was shocked, remembering that he had been buried in the dragon's belly before, and he had narrowly escaped death in Binglan Cloud Pavilion, this old man really said it? Was it by mistake, or did he really have the ability? In a blink of an eye, the young man thought of the black fish essence just now, and his eyes suddenly turned white, and the surprise in his heart at this old way just rose dissipated, and regardless of his stunned look, he lowered his head and smiled at the little girl who had been looking at him: "Little sister, you are really cute, what is your name?"

After hearing what Lin Chen said, this girl with a curious look on her face seemed to show a little shyness in her eyes, and said in a milky voice: "People call me Mingruo, and everyone else calls me Xiao Mingruo." ”

"Mingruo" Lin Chen read a few times and said with a smile: "Mingruo Mingruo, like the sun and the moon, the name of the little sister is really powerful!"

Xiao Mingruo said happily: "Well, people think so too~"

Lin Chen's heart was happy, this girl was smart and bright, well-behaved, if the little girl in Chenxi was here, she would definitely be crazy to play with her, these two girls would definitely become very good sisters, so thinking about it, Lin Chen was even happier in his heart, pretending to touch it in his arms a few times, and took out a bottle of "Bee Spirit Clear Honey" specially refined for the morning girl from the "Sumeru Mustard Seed", and said: "Little sister Mingruo, when we meet for the first time, my brother invites you to eat candy, I don't know if you like it or not~"

I didn't think that Xiao Mingruo smiled slightly, his eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon in the sky, as if the spiritual rhyme was about to overflow, he took the "Bee Spirit Clear Honey" in Lin Chen's hand, and said happily: "Wow, people like to eat it the most, thank you, big brother!"

Lin Chen loved it in his heart, and couldn't help but gently stroke her little head, and said with a smile: "Brother is going to run errands, let's play with my sister when I have time!"

"Hmm~"

Xiao Mingruo took out a "Bee Spirit Clear Honey Pill" and threw it into his mouth, only to feel that this pill melted in his mouth, his mouth was full of sweetness, and his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, which was much more delicious than the rock sugar gourds and candied fruits he usually ate, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly threw a few more into his mouth, just about to respond to the words of the big brother-

"Huh, what about people?"

The little girl looked up slightly, but found that the back of the kind big brother was in front of her, and before she knew it, she had gone away.
