Qian Yunsheng was led by Xu Wen into the living room of the living room. I saw Huikong Zhengzhuo standing in the hall. When he saw Qian Yunsheng coming in, he swept his eyes across, smiled and clasped his hands and said:
"Seeing that Qianju is feeling refreshed and refreshed, could it be possible that something happened again this night?"
Qian Yunsheng hurriedly replied and praised: "I didn't expect Master Huikong to realize that this Leiyin Temple is indeed a treasure. I have broken through a small realm in just one night."
Huikong smiled humbly and said: "Maybe it's because Qian Jushi has achieved perfection in the center of Xiaowan City, so he entered the state after meditating for a while. It's not necessarily because of our temple."
After the two of them were polite, Qian Yunsheng turned to the topic and asked slowly: "Master Huikong is here. Is there any progress in the matter of asking for the heart beads?"
Huikong didn't expect that he would be so straightforward, and replied with a long smile: "During the discussion yesterday, Saint Youping said that Qian layman has a smart mind. It seems that she really knows people!"
Qian Yunsheng looked surprised and said, "I didn't expect to receive such love from Saint Youping. Isn't it ridiculous?"
Huikong shook his head and said: "Don't be humble, Qian Jie. We admire your discernment and wisdom. No, all the elders are very interested in this, so I came to invite Qian Jie. meet."
Qian Yunsheng knew that this was going to be a test, and Wenxinzhu also sighed in his soul: "It seems that they value you more than I expected. I didn't expect that you would come to your door after just one night." ”
Qian Yunsheng was still not used to this feeling of splitting his soul. He endured the discomfort and bowed: "In that case, don't keep the elders waiting for a long time. Let's set off quickly!"
Huikong smiled politely and said: "Don't worry!" As he said this, he took out a golden bundle and said:
"This is my master's hand. Master Qian, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he threw the seal into the sky. As the seal was opened on Qian Yunsheng's head, he felt like a stream of cold water pouring down from his soul, chilling him to the core.
Huikong watched the bundle of seals in the air getting smaller and smaller like a goddess scattering flowers, and finally turned invisible. Then he clapped his hands and said: "Okay, with this bundle of seals, Qian Jushi will follow me into Leiyin Temple. It will be hassle-free.”
As he spoke, he politely bowed his hands to Xu Wen. Then, led by Xu Wen, he stepped out of the formation and flew towards the depths of Leiyin Temple.
While Qian Yunsheng was flying, he sighed in his soul with Wen Xin Zhu:
"I didn't expect Leiyin Temple to be so strict! On the surface, it looks undefended everywhere, but without this warrant, it's actually difficult to move in the temple!"
Wen Xinzhu hummed and said: "You are just a little clever. Don't underestimate the heroes of the world, otherwise you will suffer in the end."
Although Qian Yunsheng was scolded by Wen Xin Zhu, he didn't feel dissatisfied and nodded:
"The more this happens, the more at ease I feel. A big sect is a big sect after all. It seems that if I can enter Leiyin Temple this time, I can learn a lot."
Qian Yunshengzheng and Wen Xinzhu were discussing secretly when they heard Huikong's voice beside their ears leisurely:
"Thousands of lay people, please see, this is the "Guanghan Langya" of my Leiyin Temple. It is my Buddhist method of seeing the big in the small, and the mustard seed Xumi method in the big."
Qian Yunsheng raised his eyes and felt that the mountain top pointed by Huikong had an elegant scenery. There was even a surge of inspiration from it, which was extremely dazzling. I couldn't help but admire: "It's really the work of an immortal family, with a wonderful idea. I wonder which master's work it is?"
Huikong looked over in surprise and said, "I didn't expect Qianju to be so discerning!"
"This is the legacy of my twenty-seventh generation ancestor, Master Puqing. Most people would mistake it for a natural carving when they see it for the first time. Unexpectedly, Qianju could tell at a glance that it was made by manpower!"
Qian Yunsheng didn't expect that his casual words would arouse Huikong's surprise, and he quickly concealed his smile and said:
"Master Huikong must have forgotten that I am blessed by the Wenxin Pearl. Although the Wenxin Pearl has not yet channeled spirits in our temple before, it still knows some common sense things."
Huikong suddenly said: "So that's the case, then it's not surprising."
Qian Yunsheng felt ashamed and thought about himself secretly. This time, no matter how Huikong introduced him along the way, he always gave a satisfactory answer, and finally he flew to a peak without any trouble.
Huikong took Qian Yunsheng and flew into the peak. With a slight wave of the token in his hand, he flew towards the formation between the peaks. At the same time, he turned back to Qian Yunsheng and warned:
"This is where the Prajna Hall of my Leiyin Temple is. After a while, Master Qianju will be the same as before, following me."
Qian Yunsheng looked up at the peak and chanted with emotion:
"The ten directions gather together, and everyone learns to do nothing. This is the place where you choose the Buddha, and you return home with an empty heart."
Huikong knew that what Qian Yunsheng was reciting was a miscellaneous poem by the eminent monk Fazhao of Zen Buddhism, and it was talking about the original purpose of the Prajna Hall, which was to select Buddhas.
So he smiled and said: "Thousands of lay people, don't doubt it. The reason why I chose Prajna Hall is precisely because my uncles and I are people who love talents. I'm afraid it's not too late to be happy after meeting the lay people."
Qian Yunsheng turned his head and said humbly: "I'm afraid Qian Yunsheng is too stupid to fall in the favor of all the mages."
Before Huikong could say anything more, suddenly the golden light from the peak shone brightly, and an ancient golden staircase was laid out out of thin air.
Huikong looked at the paved stairs and said in surprise: "Qianjushi, this is the thousand-step ladder of my Prajna Hall. It is usually only used when monks enter the Taoism. I didn't expect that all the masters and uncles would open it for you alone." ladder."
"In that case, hurry up and get on the ladder! Don't keep all the masters and uncles waiting. I will be waiting for you at the top of the mountain."
Qian Yunsheng looked at the golden stairs in front of him, listened to Wen Xinzhu's instructions in his soul, and returned Huikong's greeting: "Then there is Master Lao Huikong."
After saying that, he collected the diamond beads at his feet and threw them towards the golden stairs.
On the top of the mountain, several old monks lined up, looking at Qian Yunsheng at the bottom of the mountain as he threw himself into the Thousand Steps Ladder. Among them, Xuan Jing was the most curious. He asked with a smile:
"Brothers, how many steps do you think this casual cultivator can climb?"
Xuan Ku stood aside and answered: "This thousand-step ladder does not focus on mental qualifications. I wonder if this casual cultivator can walk five hundred steps?"
Xuannian also said: "On the Thousand-step Ladder, if you can walk five hundred steps, you are considered a middle-class person. Even I, Leiyin Temple, can take it. I'm afraid that since he is a casual cultivator, he may not even be able to walk five hundred steps." .”
Xuan Bei also stared closely at Qian Yunsheng as he took steps up the thousand-step ladder. Seeing him swaying a little as he took the first step, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. He said expressionlessly:
"Now that we have stepped onto the Thousand Steps Ladder, the results should be available in just a stick of incense. Junior brothers, please follow me to the hall and wait!"
All the old monks all said yes. Except for the two masters Xuan Ben and Xuan Wen who were left to preside over the formation, the rest were all the people who were in Xiaowan City that day, including Saint Youping, who all stood aside. Peak to watch.
When everyone saw Huikong, they also flew up. Although they did not dare to shout loudly, they still waved to him and pulled him over. Everyone held their breath and stood aside to watch Qian Yunsheng enter the stairs.
And inside the ladder, as Qian Yunsheng just flew in, he asked Xinzhu in his soul: "You said that this thousand-step ladder is for testing qualifications?"
Wenxinzhu nodded and said, "As you said before, this Prajna Hall is originally the Buddhist selection site of Leiyin Temple. Therefore, this thousand-step ladder is used to test the qualifications of the monks."
"This level has almost nothing to do with the soul, so I can't help you. I'm also very curious about your qualifications. Please go up and have a look."
"Generally speaking, those with less than 300 steps are considered to have extremely poor qualifications. After so many years in Leiyin Temple, no one has been born; 300 to 500 steps are considered to have average qualifications; more than 500 steps are basically enough to earn Leiyin's salary. It’s the standard within the temple.”
"If you can walk more than 800 steps, it will take decades to get one in Leiyin Temple. You have to work hard and don't make your results too ugly."
Qian Yunsheng felt a little guilty. He remembered that before he got the scroll, he practiced like a turtle, and he couldn't help but worry about his qualifications.
So he asked a little eagerly: "I have never walked across this ladder once. There must be some sayings and skills, right?"
Wen Xinzhu sneered: "What kind of skills does this require? You can just walk up it. But you have to remember that even a young boy can walk up and down this ladder, and he will never be injured."
"After you go up, every time you take another step, the pressure on your body will increase until you are pressed so hard that you can no longer lift a step."
"But don't worry, this kind of pressure and ability can't help you. Unless you have great dharma and can ignore the restrictions of this thousand-step ladder. Otherwise, even if the elders come and leave, they will be treated the same as Meng Tong."
Qian Yunsheng suddenly felt enlightened after hearing this, and said to himself: "This is fair!"
So he no longer hesitated and took the first step forward steadily.
