"Amitabha, the poor monk is free."
"please."
The monk in white clothes clasped his hands together, leaned down and bowed, called out the Buddha's name, then turned around and walked into the Bodhi Temple.
Lin Chuyi and Mo Jiujiu did not hesitate and followed the Buddhist monk who called himself Shi Kong.
The three of them walked in tandem, walking in the crowd, but they were as if they didn't exist. They never touched anyone, and no one noticed that these people had passed by them.
Not even the monks in Bodhi Temple found any trace of the three of them.
Bodhi Temple looks very grand from the outside, and the same is true when entering. In front of the majestic main hall, there are hundreds of white jade stone steps, with a wide platform in the middle, and a three-legged giant more than three meters high is placed on the platform. Ding, the body of the tripod is embossed with mountains and rivers and all living beings. There are three thigh-thick incense sticks inserted in the tripod. It is burning faintly at this time, and the quiet scent of incense rises.
There are bells and drums in the temple, which sound continuously at certain intervals. They are calm and steady, making people feel peaceful when they hear it.
The main hall at the top of the white jade stone steps is made of mahogany, but the plaque is inlaid with pure gold, which is particularly bright under the sunlight.
Yes, in the Buddha Realm, the clouds in the sky seem to be much thinner, and occasionally the sun shines through the clouds, bringing people a sense of hope.
For some reason, people always have an inexplicable sense of peace and yearning for light.
I don’t know if it’s because the light brought by the sun can illuminate everything, or because the temperature brought by the sun can dispel the cold, or maybe it’s because of both.
Lin Chuyi raised her head and felt the warmth of the sun shining on her body. When she was in Donglu in the past, she had never felt that the sun was so warm and bright.
In the short time since she came to Xilu, she had long-lost feelings for the sun.
Mo Jiujiu glanced sideways at Lin Chuyi, and his fingertips also curled up, as if trying to catch a ray of sunshine.
The two suddenly looked at each other and saw the smile and warmth in each other's eyes.
It turns out that people who have been in the darkness for a long time will really yearn for the light.
Climbing up the stairs, the two of them followed Shi Kong and stepped across the high threshold of the Main Hall. In just a moment, everything around them changed as if the stars had passed. The feeling was obvious, but in fact it was only a short moment.
Lin Chuyi and Mo Jiujiu looked up and saw that the hall in front of them was still paved with black stone tiles, and there was still a majestic and tall golden Buddha statue placed high in front of them.
The golden Buddha statue, which is as tall as a hill, points one finger to the sky and the other to the ground. Its eyes are half lowered, as if pity for the suffering of all living beings.
In front of the Buddha statue, there was an old monk sitting with his back to a few people. He was wearing a cassock with red gold threads. The sound of tapping wooden fish surrounded everyone's ears.
The only difference was that in the main hall, where people were coming and going, and where men and women were constantly kneeling and worshiping, now there were only a few of them, and no one else was around.
The art of great space movement?
Lin Chuyi and Mo Jiujiu looked at each other vaguely, seeing the speculation in each other's eyes.
Monks in the Nascent Soul realm can freely travel through space. Those who can pull people into a space silently like this must be an existence with extraordinary cultivation.
Shi Kong came behind the old monk, performed a Buddhist salute respectfully, then retreated to the old monk's side, clasped his hands together and turned the beads, closed his eyes and silently recited the sutra.
Lin Chuyi and Mo Jiujiu did not dare to speak first, so they had no choice but to follow Shi Kong and bow to the old monk.
"Amitabha, two little friends, thank you for your hard work coming from afar."
The old voice slowly sounded. The old monk stood up slowly and turned around, revealing a wrinkled face. Although he was old, his eyes were very bright. When he looked at people, he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts at a glance. .
"Senior, junior Lin Chuyi (Mo Jiujiu) has met senior."
The old monk in front of him is very likely to be the Ming Wang mentioned by Shi Kong, but when in doubt, it is always right to call the other party senior.
There is not much smile on the old monk's face, but it always feels as warm as the sun, making people feel respect and peace involuntarily.
"Lao Nafu Tu, please show up to see the two benefactors."
The old monk's eyes suddenly shined as dazzlingly as the sun, as if a sharp sword pierced into the minds of Lin Chuyi and Mo Jiujiu. Both of them were stunned, not understanding what the Buddhist senior was talking about. What's the meaning.
But in the next moment, the two of them felt that their eyebrows were hot, as if a drop of hot oil had hit their eyebrows, and two drops of bright red blood emerged from between their eyebrows.
Then they turned into two figures shrouded in light and appeared in the hall.
The two figures were still a little stiff when they first appeared, but within a breath, they became active. They seemed to turn their heads and look around, and then the light gradually disappeared, revealing the true faces of the figures inside.
"Master?!"
"Master?!"
Two figures spoke in unison. The two figures revealed were one tall and one short. The tall one was wearing a wide-sleeved robe. He was elegant and had two short, trimmed beards. The shorter one was an old man with gray hair but The long flaming red beard is very strange.
The handsome middle-aged man is Lin Chuyi’s master, Xiao Guan, a Yuanying monk from Qianji Pavilion.
The old man is the Yuanying monk of Chiyang Dao Sect, Mo Jiujiu’s master, Huo Chanzi.
"It seems that you have arrived at the land of Buddhism in the West Continent safely." Xiao Guan was very in the style of Qianji Pavilion. He looked at the decoration of this grand palace as if no one else was watching, and then looked at his apprentice with a tsk.
Huo Chanzi, on the other hand, bowed to the old monk of Buddha in a very sect-like manner, "In Lower East China, Huo Chanzi of the Chiyang Taoist Sect, I met the Buddhist Mingwang Venerable."
The Ming King of Buddhism is just a title, and the pagoda the old monk mentioned before is actually his own dharma title.
Huo Chanzi said this not only because he did not know the old monk's dharma name, but also to express his respect.
Isn't it strange that there are so many people?
The old monk of Buddha, or King Buddha Ming, nodded very good-naturedly, introduced himself again, and then glanced at Lin Chuyi and Mo Jiujiu, "I was talking to two Taoist friends, and the two little friends You can follow Shi Kong to visit our Bodhi Religion."
The old monk of the Buddha was talking about the Bodhi Sect, which meant that the feeling of shifting stars at that moment was indeed that they were directly transferred to another space.
Lin Chuyi and Mo Jiujiu didn't know that their master actually had a ray of divine consciousness entrusted to them, but they quickly figured out that such major events involving the East and West continents, humans, immortals, Buddhas and demons all depended on them. A junior is not realistic either.
If the elders in the sect dared to let them come to the Western Continent with confidence, they must have made complete preparations. Otherwise, no sect would be willing to lose so many geniuses at once.
This kind of spiritual sustenance, from what we just saw, obviously seals off the senses of the outside world, so that the secrets of one's disciples cannot be pried into, and it is concealed enough to be difficult to be detected, and it can also passively wake up when the disciples are in danger. , as a life-saving trump card.
Naturally, the two of them would not have any strange feelings.
He responded immediately and followed Shi Kong obediently out of here.
