Tianchan Temple changed a pilgrim to pick up people. At this moment, they were leading the pilgrims up the mountain to Tianchan Temple. Li Xiuping and others were also following the team.
Tianchan Temple obviously already knew about Li Xiuping's arrival, but they seemed to pretend not to know. This saved them a lot of trouble, and it was also what Li Xiuping hoped for. He didn't want the entire Tianchan Temple to suffer because of his arrival. The temple was in turmoil.
The more this happened, the more Li Xiuping felt that Tianchan Temple was indeed not simple. If it were another sect in Tianchan Temple's situation, not to mention that no one had come forward after going up the mountain. As early as at the bottom of the mountain, Someone was already there to greet him.
This is not to say that Tianchan Temple does not take him seriously as the junior master of Guanchao Academy, but Tianchan Temple knows very well that no matter what the reason for Li Xiuping's visit this time, it is definitely not for this kind of thing. Superficial flattery.
If not for the fact that this junior master from the academy had gone all the way south, it would have been known to everyone long ago. How could it be that Tianchan Temple did not know about the arrival of this junior junior uncle from the academy until now.
The new pilgrims led the people to climb the mountain while explaining the history of Tianchan Temple. Judging from their proficiency, it was obvious that they had done similar things before. When passing by some solemn Buddha statues, Li Xiuping also Putting your hands together and praying devoutly, you are no different from those pilgrims.
As a result, Chu Yan and Yang Erni were a little confused.
What is the purpose of worshiping Buddha? Isn’t it just that I want peace of mind, or that I have a wish that cannot be fulfilled, so I hope that Buddha can help me achieve it?
But who is their master? He is a god in the eyes of others, a being that even the eminent monks of Tianchan Temple look up to. Does such a person need to worship Buddha? Need to believe in Buddhism?
It's just that since the master is bowing, they will naturally follow suit.
The blue water unicorn was indifferent. This kind of thing had nothing to do with it.
Naturally, layman Qingming didn't believe this either, so he didn't worship either.
As for Master Huo Ling, he himself is a disciple of Taoism and is incompatible with Buddhism, so naturally he will not worship him.
Chu Yan's mother and the maid were also very pious, and they didn't know whether they were really praying for something or simply following Li Xiuping.
In this way, everyone finally entered the mountain gate of Tianchan Temple. What they heard was the murmuring voice of Buddha, the crisp sound of wooden fish, and the rich smell of incense.
Chu Yan couldn't help but ask: "Master, aren't you a Confucian disciple? Why do you worship Buddha?"
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "I'm not worshiping Buddha, I'm just worshiping myself."
Chu Yan couldn't help but frown, and even Yang Erni on the side cast a curious look.
"Worship yourself? Master, are you really a Buddha?"
Chu Yan has always said whatever comes to her mind without any taboos.
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Bowing your head to worship Buddha is an attitude, bending down and letting go of your arrogance. This is what an old monk told me when I met him before."
Chu Yan nodded, thoughtfully, obviously not quite understanding.
Li Xiuping didn't mean to explain too much. At this time, countless monks came out of the hall and took the pilgrims to different places according to the pilgrims' requests. However, no one paid attention to Li Xiuping.
After all the pilgrims had left, a great monk walked out of the hall and walked straight towards Li Xiuping and others.
The great monk first clasped his hands together, and then said with a smile: "Amitabha! Donor Li and you have worked hard all the way. The temple has prepared fast meals. I hope you don't dislike it."
Li Xiuping replied: "Thank you, Master."
The monk continued: "Originally, Junior Brother Ku Zhi meant that Donor Li could use the reputation of Tianchan Temple to save himself some trouble. However, Tianchan Temple has always ignored external affairs and has very little influence in the practice world. So I'm afraid that I won't be able to help donor Li too much, and donor Li will go to the secret realm of the demon clan, and everything will naturally be clear by then, so there is no need for Tianchan Temple to do anything deliberately, which will make Tianchan Temple look a bit artificial. "
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "That's true, and I don't like that situation either. It's fine as it is now."
The monk continued: "After Zhikong came back last night, the abbot made inquiries in person, and basically understood everything. Tianchan Temple will also give Master Li a satisfactory answer, but this still has to be eaten up. After the meal, the abbot will personally explain to Donor Li."
Li Xiuping was stunned and asked: "Is there any secrets about Master Zhikong?"
The great monk didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. It's just that there have been some problems in Tianchan Temple recently, and many people related to the demons have been mixed in, so I want Zhikong to do it." Yin, let’s see if we can find these people, but I didn’t expect what happened now.”
Li Xiuping nodded and frowned deeply.
This means that Tianzen Temple is not as safe as he thought, so will he really have no problem leaving Chu Yan's mother behind?
Knowing that this would be the case, it would have been better to leave them at Puyun Mountain, at least with the help of the academy to take care of them. It was because of the complicated situation in Puyun Mountain and its deep involvement with the demons that we gave up this plan. , but now it seems that Tianchan Temple is not absolutely safe.
This demon clan is so pervasive for this invasion that even an existence like Tianchan Temple has become a target. This is not a good thing.
Although this world is still protected by the rules of heaven and earth, and the demons do not dare to be too presumptuous for a while, these human monks who are deeply involved with the demons are the biggest trouble.
After leaving the Lingxiao Sect, he went all the way south. After a few days of peace and quiet, he came up with the matter of Puyun Mountain. Now when he arrived at Tianchan Temple, he originally thought that there was no way that Tianchan Temple would be related to the demons. , but never thought that even Tianchan Temple could not avoid it.
After leaving Tianchan Temple and continuing south, you will enter the territory of the Southern Shenjiang City. The possibility of encountering demon monks will be greater. It is obviously not suitable to continue to stay with Chu Yan's mother. Is it really necessary to send Chu Yan’s mother back to Puyun Mountain?
Seeing Li Xiuping's expression, the great monk smiled and said: "This is not a big deal. Everything is under control. Tianchan Temple can solve it by itself."
What I heard from this was that I was worried that Li Xiuping would intervene, but Tianchan Temple did not want Li Xiuping to intervene.
It is normal for Tianchan Temple to have this worry. After all, between Li Xiuping and the demons, almost everyone in the spiritual world now knows that this junior uncle from the academy had a head-on confrontation with the demons, thinking that the demon lord was there, and he was seriously injured for it. , even the Wine Fairy, one of the two immortals, had no choice but to go south to find another Flower Fairy.
It is impossible for ordinary people to know these things, but it is impossible for Tianchan Temple not to know.
Although Tianchan Temple does not have much contact with other sects, Tianchan Temple will definitely be the first to know about such major events.
The matter of Tianchan Temple is not a big deal in the first place. Once the junior master of the academy intervenes, it will become a big deal even if it is not a big deal.
Precisely because Tianchan Temple knows about things in the north, it knows about the situation between Li Xiuping and the demons. Once this young master from the academy appears in Tianchan Temple and is known to those who are related to the demons, then this matter will most likely be solved. It can't be small, after all, the one the demons have always wanted to get rid of is this young master uncle of the academy.
In the past, those demon monks might not have risked their lives, but now that Li Xiuping was seriously injured, even if he was guarded by the layman Qingming, one of the eight sages, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those demon monks. No one wants to take a chance.
This was also the main reason why Tianchan Temple did not want to cause too much noise due to Li Xiuping's arrival.
The truly terrifying thing about mankind as a whole is actually belief. Because of belief, many people are willing to throw away their lives, especially those who believe in demons. They even regard death as belief, thinking that as long as they die by transforming into demons, Even if the body dies, the soul can still follow the demon god they believe in. This is what Tianzen Temple has discovered after getting to know the demons in depth in the past few years.
Even Buddhist holy places like Tianchan Temple can be interfered with by demons. You can imagine the situation in other places. And this is what human monks should really worry about. How seriously human monks take this situation, It shouldn't be lower than fighting the demons head-on.
Of course, these are all matters considered by the Three Mountains and Four Cities. All Tianchan Temple can do is to ensure that there will be no problems in Tianchan Temple.
Tianchan Temple is capable of handling this, so there is no need for outsiders to intervene, because once someone interferes, it will be difficult for Tianchan Temple to be as peaceful as before, especially when the person who intervened is Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "I, we are just passing by this time. In addition to the previous invitation from Master Kuzhi, we came here to disturb the masters' spiritual cultivation. Naturally, I will not interfere with the affairs of Tianchan Temple."
He continued: "However, since the demons are targeting Tianchan Temple, this matter may not be so easy to solve. At least if Tianchan Temple wants to maintain the peace and tranquility as before, I am afraid it is impossible. The demons This invasion is inevitable, how can Tianchan Temple survive alone."
The great monk smiled and said: "What Donor Li said is true, and Tianchan Temple has never thought of being alone. The invasion of demons has devastated all living beings. Even though we, Tianchan Temple, are members of the Buddhist sect, we cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. We are just the world of cultivation." They have always been fighting openly and secretly, but now it is just a temporary alliance due to the invasion of demons. There are no problems in the short term, but as time goes by, many problems will become apparent, and Tianchan Temple does not want to get involved."
Li Xiuping nodded. He had thought about this issue before. This was also the reason why he did not want to have contact with the demons in the first place. He did not want to get involved in the battles between these sects and become someone else's pawn.
But later Li Xiuping discovered that he had already been involved in it, and it was no longer possible to escape. Moreover, in order to get rid of him, the demon clan even did not hesitate to dispatch a demon king in the immortal realm. No matter what, it is impossible to stay out of it...
