Daming Temple and Feiling Waterfall are located in the Lingyan Mountains. There is a street under the mountains, there are clusters of inns, and stalls selling Buddhist beads, Buddha strings, and jade can be seen everywhere.
"There is a village in front, where all Buddhist and Taoist believers live. They also set up these stalls. They have a bit of Buddhist spirit. But if Taoist friends are interested, you can go to the Buddha Holding Studio in front. What they sell there is It is a precious artifact that has been consecrated by Daming Temple.”
Zhan Changfeng glanced at the small accessories on the stall and thought that Buddhism and Taoism specialize in the soul and mind, and might have magic weapons to warm and nourish the soul, so he said, "Go over and take a look."
"Okay." Wu Xiao led her to the Buddha Holding Room, "Fellow Taoist, I'm going to Xiao Maitreya Inn over there. I've booked a room for tomorrow night. Let's see if we can change it to today."
According to the original itinerary, we were supposed to go to Feiling Waterfall tomorrow, but we arrived early because we didn’t go to see Chaotian Temple.
Zhan Changfeng gave him a bag of spirit stones, "I see that there are so many people today that there may be no room available. Please keep it for emergencies."
"Friend Taoist is thoughtful." He was also afraid that the boss would raise the price because of the excitement, and he was also afraid that the room would be gone. Fortunately, his employer was kind-hearted and would not embarrass him. In this case, he had to do a good job.
There is incense in the Buddha-holding Room, and a yellow curtain hangs on the porch. There is an incense burner at the entrance, and behind it is a carved screen with paintings of Arhats. You turn around the screen to reach the lobby.
There are two rows of low cabinets in the middle of the lobby and two shelves against the wall. There are not many things.
"Fellow Taoist, you might as well take a look at this Buddha statue."
This man is wearing a wide-sleeved Hai Qingyi, with strings of Buddhist beads hanging on his hands. He has kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He is a layman who upholds the precepts.
"Why did the layman say this?" Although Zhan Changfeng asked, people had already followed his direction and arrived in front of the wooden Buddha statue. Looking closely, they felt a little uncomfortable.
The layman just smiled and said, "Buddha looks at fate, fate and cause and effect, good and bad consequences."
What he meant by this was that she was in trouble. Zhan Changfeng was lifeless, with his hands clasped together and his eyebrows lowered, "The evil consequences have been accomplished and can be broken. Does the layman have any solution?"
"I don't have enough skills at the end of my studies, I haven't solved the cause and effect, and I can't relieve my Taoist friends. I'm really ashamed."
"I'm ashamed too."
The three major ancient religions have different ways of practice. Buddhism was the first to cultivate the channel of mind awakening, which was later divided into cause and effect Tantra, Vow Power Tantra, and Heart Awakening Tantra. Among them, Vow Power Tantra only needs to cultivate the self with the power of the vows of all living beings, so it is particularly special. prosperous, the other two sects appear to be withered. Unexpectedly, there are still people practicing the path of cause and effect in this mountain. This is a matter of great wisdom.
This layman could see that she was suffering from evil consequences, and he already had some skills.
"I wonder if there is any treasure here, layman, that can nourish the soul?"
"There are very few treasures that can nourish the soul. We don't have them here at Mo School. If my fellow Taoist is interested, there are a few that can soothe the mind and purify the mind."
"It probably won't work for me."
The layman pondered, "Fellow Taoist, maybe you can go to Daming Temple for a stroll."
"I think so too."
After Zhan Changfeng walked out of the Buddha Holding Room, several people came into the store one after another. The layman smiled and greeted, "Fellow Taoist, you might as well take a look at this Buddha statue."
"It looks good, it's gold-plated, I guess. How many spiritual stones are there? Do you want to sell them?"
"Not for sale."
....
"Fuyi, come in quickly, Uncle Bai said he saw someone entering the store."
"When will you change your stalking habit?"
Yu Qingchen pulled Liu Fuyi into the store, looked around, and sighed, "I lost track."
The layman stepped forward and said, "Do you two Taoist friends like it? If not, why not take a look at this Buddha statue?"
Yu Qingchen looked where he pointed, "Hey, Jade Buddha, has it been consecrated?"
"Where is the Jade Buddha? Isn't it a relic?" Liu Fuyi asked confused.
The layman was shocked and looked at Liu Fuyi, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling. Yu Qingchen was frightened. This man was seriously ill and he hurriedly pulled Liu Fuyi to leave.
"Wait a moment." The layman quickly took out the relic and handed it to Liu Fuyi, "You are destined to this thing, please take it away."
Liu Fuyi frowned slightly, but he didn't feel any malice. "I don't want to take it if it's destined. I'll buy it."
The layman sighed, "Forget it, I'll accept you a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, which will settle the karma between you and me."
Yu Qingchen almost jumped up, "A thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, you are robbing them!"
A thousand middle-grade spiritual stones are one million low-grade spiritual stones!
Even an ordinary foundation-building monk is not worth one million.
Liu Fuyi stroked the relic in his hand, feeling a little palpitating in his heart. Then he looked at the layman's clear and thoughtful eyes and said, "Okay, one thousand middle-grade spiritual stones."
"Sisters, let's go to the hospital first."

When Zhan Changfeng arrived at the door of Xiaomitreya Inn, he met Wu Xiao who was walking out. Seeing that his expression was different, he asked, "Has the room been booked?"
"Ah?" Wu Xiao seemed to have just seen her, and said while returning her money bag, "I've ordered it, a total of fifty spiritual stones."
Zhan Changfeng collected the money bag and said, "I want to visit the Daming Temple tomorrow. If you are busy, you don't have to follow me all the time."
Wu Xiao was shocked. He thought she knew something for a moment, but then he felt that she was indeed a solitary person, and there was nothing much to introduce about Daming Temple other than seeing it with your eyes. "Okay, there is only one mountain road leading to Daming Temple at the foot of the mountain in the north. , you can see it by walking over here, just use the sounding bird when you need to find me, I will not leave here."
"Give me the room key first."
Zhan Changfeng went to the inn room, burned incense, bathed, changed clothes, and meditated all night. On the second day, before sunrise, I walked slowly up the mountain.
At this time, there were already many people at the foot of the mountain, pushing to reach the three-foot mountain path.
"The lotus flower hasn't opened yet. Is the news wrong?"
"Hey, if Feiling Waterfall wasn't full of people and there wasn't even a place to stay, why would I bother going up and down the mountain?"
"What's there to complain about? I've been back and forth for three days, and my clothes are all sour and smelly."
There were also a few believers who knelt down and worshiped from the first step up the mountain with three prostrations and nine kowtows. The monks did not push them, and some people even followed them and bent down to worship and seek a Buddhist connection.
Zhan Changfeng walked slowly, and the crowds and chaos did not make her frown at all. Halfway up the mountain, two forked roads appeared, one leading to Daming Temple and the other to Feiling Waterfall. Most people rushed towards Feiling Waterfall, taking away a wave of noise.
She went to a quiet place, and there were only a few believers left around her.
The mountain road is hidden among ancient trees, winding and winding, with no end in sight and often twists and turns. The believers knocked their heads on the stone steps, and the dull sound was as clear as the chirping of birds in the forest.
Zhan Changfeng did not pass them, but followed slowly, occasionally listening to the chirping of birds and looking at the moss growing on the stone steps.
She is someone who doesn't have many emotions, not because she doesn't think much, but because she thinks too much. It is precisely because you think too much that you need to be completely rational to ensure that your thoughts are clear. Calmness under reason and peace of mind are two essences.
She didn't quite understand this state of being carefree and believing, so she asked the abbot of White Horse Temple.
The abbot said that she had a fierce tiger in her heart, but she could not stop the sharp attack. Look at more beauties and flowers, they will make you feel at peace.
However, her execution may be a little off, because the beauties in her eyes are all talented people, or people with the potential to be talented. Meeting them will only make her more ambitious. Of course, she also tried to grow flowers, but unfortunately she didn't have the time to take care of them.
There are only two most difficult problems in this world, one is how to wake up Yi Changsheng, and the other is how to prove his own way.
On the way to seek the truth, there are too many dilemmas.
You obviously want a prosperous and peaceful life, but you have to hold a butcher's knife in your hand.
You clearly say that your words and deeds are consistent, but you put on a mask.
Sometimes I get too deep into the drama and I can't grasp the baseline between reality and reality. Even I doubt which of my actions is sincere and which is appropriate to the situation.
When the Innate Great Perfection entered the shackles, and the acquired Three Treasures were about to turn into the Innate Three Treasures, and were only one step away from establishing the foundation, she realized that she needed to find true peace so that she could retract her unsheathed sword freely.
