The next day, half past ten.
Lu Chen walked into Zhaode Temple.
The surrounding scene was obviously the same as yesterday, but for some reason, it gave Lu Chen a sense of holiness and solemnity. The Buddha statues in the courtyard were even more awe-inspiring. Even Li Yuhan, who was hiding in the bottle, was trembling with fear.
“How could Zhaode Temple change so much overnight??”
During the day, there were many more people in Zhaode Temple, including monks from the temple and tourists who came to worship. Lu Chen found a young monk and told him his name and asked him to wait.
Not long after, the young monk came back and led Lu Chen to the main hall of the temple.
The hall is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha. Under the statue of Buddha, there is an old monk sitting. He is wearing a golden cassock. He looks thin and skinny, but he has a sense of the majesty of the Buddha, which makes people dare not look down upon him. At this moment, he is beating the wooden fish in front of him and chanting the scriptures.
The sound is not loud, but it seems to have a magical power that can make people forget their worries and calm down.
Amidst the chanting, Chase Lu forgot the purpose of his trip and sat cross-legged opposite the old monk.
I don’t know how long it took before the sound of chanting disappeared.
When Lu Chen looked up, he saw a pair of eyes as deep as the sea. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see all the confusion in the world.
The old monk spoke slowly: "Are you the disciple of the old ghost?"
Lu Chen stood up and saluted: "Junior Lu Chen, I have met Zen Master Kuji."
During this period, Lu Chen also met many monks, including Xuanqi and the master who presided over the ring battle. But after meeting Zen Master Kuji, he understood what a true enlightened monk meant.
He seems to be the incarnation of Buddha left in the mortal world.
Holy, awe-inspiring, otherworldly.
Zen Master Kuji stood up, took out nine burning incense sticks from the incense burner in front of the Buddha, and handed them to Lu Chen.
"This is the dragon soul incense your master wants."
Lu Chen excitedly took the dragon soul incense, and was shocked to find that although the incense was burning, it did not become smaller. The light smoke had a calming effect.
He thought about the incense that the young monk handed him that night, which was contained in a wooden box.
I'm afraid, it's not authentic! !
Lu Chen thanked him, then took out the Heaven and Earth Jueming Burner and said, "It was my first time to visit the Zen Master. I didn't know what the Zen Master liked, so I bought an incense burner."
"This furnace is named Tiandi Jueming. It was owned by Yang Liulang during the Northern Song Dynasty. The younger generation feels that he is related to Buddhism and hopes that the Zen master will like it."
Zen Master Kuji asked, "Did your master ask you to give it as a gift?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "It's the junior who makes the decision on his own."
Zen Master Kuji shook his head and said, "Your master once was kind to me. These nine dragon soul incense are my repayment of kindness. You don't need to give me any additional gifts."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Zen Master is my elder, how can I come empty-handed for my first visit? Besides, just sitting here, listening to the master chanting sutras, I feel that my whole person has been sublimated. I should thank the Zen Master for taking care of this incense burner."
Lu Chen knew that every time a monk like Zen Master Kuji recited sutras was extremely valuable, and ordinary people could not find it.
After listening to the chanting just now, he felt that all the sins he had committed before had disappeared. If Qin Mingjie listened to it a few times, it might speed up his change of life.
A gentle smile appeared on Zen Master Kuji's face: "I didn't expect that the old ghost could teach such a polite disciple like you."
Lu Chen was ashamed.
Judging from what Zen Master Kuji means, the old man must have tricked him a lot in the past! !
"However, as your elder, I can't take your gift in vain. Can I take out the little guy under you?"
Lu Chen: Σ(゜ロ゜;)
The... little guy down there? ?
Zen Master, what are you going to do?
I am a serious person!
Lu Chen was frightened by Zen Master Kuji's words. He thought that the old monk had some shady preferences, so he quickly took two steps back.
Seeing him like this, Zen Master Kuji had a smile on his face.
"Amitabha, the donor misunderstood the old monk's meaning."
"It's her I'm looking for."
Zen Master Kuji grabbed it from the air, and a glass bottle flew out of Lu Chen's trouser pocket. Li Yuhan in the bottle had a look of horror on his face and kept banging on the glass bottle.
Lu Chen was startled, thinking that Zen Master Kuji was going to save Li Yuhan, and immediately shouted: "Master, she is my friend, you must not hurt her."
He was extremely anxious. Although Li Yuhan was an evil ghost, with this period of contact, she had already regarded him as a friend.
What's more, Li Yuhan saved two of his lives, and he would never allow anyone to hurt Li Yuhan.
But just when he was about to take action, the Zen master smiled faintly: "Donor, don't worry, I just want to give her a number, so that she can follow you legitimately."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and asked: "Master, what does this number mean?"
Zen Master Kuji explained: "Although she is your friend, she is still a fierce ghost. If she is encountered by other cultivators, she will definitely attack her."
"It is the responsibility of a cultivator to subdue evil ghosts, so at that time, you can only watch your friends being subdued by them. If you dare to help, they can kill you."
Lu Chen shuddered when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a technique.
Zen Master Kuji opened the seal and released Li Yuhan. Under the powerful suppression of Buddhism, Li Yuhan knelt on the ground and trembled, without even the courage to fight.
Zen Master Kuji bit his fingertips, drew a talisman in the air, and then put the talisman into Li Yuhan's body. The next second, Li Yuhan's phoenix crown and robe turned into a cassock! !
On the back of the cassock, there is the word "Zhao De" written on it, and below Zhao De, there is a number.
NO:0811.
The moment this number appeared, Li Yuhan felt that the pressure on her body suddenly disappeared, and the Buddha statue that had previously frightened her became very friendly.
Zen Master Kuji explained: "Ghosts are also divided into good and bad. Good ghosts can help humans do many things that humans cannot do. Therefore, there is a profession in the magician world that can register ghosts."
"With this number, she is the ghost of Zhaode Temple. As long as she does not do anything harmful to nature, the warlock is not allowed to harm her, otherwise... she will be hunted down by Zhaode Temple."
Lu Chen's eyes widened, his heart filled with disbelief.
This gives Li Yuhan an official status!
From now on, she no longer has to hide and guard against other monks.
Lu Chen bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you Zen Master Kuji."
Li Yuhan also understood the meaning and bowed to express his thanks: "Thank you, holy monk."
Zen Master Kuji smiled slightly and said: "This is your fate, but you must remember one thing, you must not do anything harmful to nature, otherwise the old monk will beat you to death."
Li Yuhan bowed and said, "I sincerely follow the teachings of the holy monk."
Zen Master Kuji nodded and said: "The matter is over, you two can step back."
…
Sea of Clouds, highway exit.
After Zhao Tianqing hung up the phone, he told everyone: "We found the hotel where Lu Chen lives. Let's go there now."
