Ling Ning jumped out of the sinkhole with Xia Shiqing on her back, and then noticed that the sky in the distance was an ominous dark red, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air. He identified it and found that the source of the smell was in the direction of the Nine Nether Evil Sect, and he didn't know what was happening there.
Xia Shiqing's octopus on her back couldn't help but cling to him, her pink cheeks rubbing against his neck, which made his heart beat faster. He concentrated hard and chased in the direction pointed by Hua Die. After about an hour, he entered a long and narrow valley. The road under his feet became narrower and narrower, until finally only one person could pass.
After turning a corner, the mysterious woman who took their intimate image with a shadow stone suddenly appeared! She was sitting on a rock looking up to the sky and counting the stars. When she saw him catching up so quickly, she couldn't help but let out a little girlish surprise.
"Hey! I didn't expect that this guy like you could catch up? Tsk, tsk, it seems that I still have some ability. However, it's not that my foot strength is not as good as yours, it's just that I'm a little tired after running all the way for several days and nights."
Ling Ning didn't care if she was tired or not, he just wanted the shadow stone in her hand back. Seeing that she turned around and started to run again, he quickly said: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't leave! Let's have a good talk, okay?"
The girl turned around and said disdainfully: "What do you have to talk about with a big pervert like you?"
"Don't always be a pervert and talk about me. She and I are really innocent..." Ling Ning wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the girl with a smile, "Haha! Innocent? You are still carrying her behind your back, Judging from her appearance, you must have given her some kind of drug to do something evil!"
Ling Ning was speechless for a moment. Xia Shiqing's face was now filled with peach blossoms, as if she had been drugged.
"She was just poisoned, but it wasn't me! Since Zi Chen is your eldest brother, you must be facing him. It's useless for me to explain."
"Since it's useless, what are you talking about? Huh, catch up with me if you can!" The girl snorted coldly and jumped forward. Her body was graceful in the air. She first stepped on the rock wall on one side, and then used her strength to jump towards the rock wall on the other side. She jumped back and forth on both sides of the rock wall very quickly.
Ling Ning saw that she had a strange movement, leaping back and forth on the rock wall like a bobcat. If he were on a flat ground, his "ghost steps" might not be inferior to hers, but in this mountain, his footwork was of little use. . Fortunately, he prided himself on his long-term strength and had the means to track her, so he was not afraid of her escaping without a trace.
The two of them chased each other one after another. After another meal, the mountain road ahead turned a corner and the girl's figure disappeared for a moment. Suddenly, she heard her scolding: "Where did you come from, that stinky monk? He's looking for death!"
Ling Ning was startled, fearing that she would kill innocent people and quickly followed her. He saw that the girl was holding a dagger and was already fighting an old monk! Her moves were ruthless, and every move was deadly, but the old monk was even more amazing. He swayed slightly and avoided her attacks.
It turned out that the girl was just running when she suddenly saw an old monk walking in front of her. She was jumping back and forth on both sides of the rock wall. The old monk was walking on the ground. It turned out that the well water did not interfere with the river water, but she had a girlish heart and decided to step on it. She stepped on the old monk's bald and round head. Unexpectedly, when she stepped down, the old monk turned slightly and missed the step.
She was angry and scolded for a moment, and without saying a word, she pulled out the dagger and struck at the other person's chest. She originally wanted to scare this "unconscious" old monk, but she didn't expect that the old monk didn't move, as if he knew that this move was a false move. She was even more angry, secretly thinking that I must let you, an old monk, know how powerful I am! That's why they started fighting with each other to their death.
Ling Ning didn't know the cause and effect. He came to the two men and wanted to help, but when he saw that the old monk was doing well, he felt relieved and observed carefully.
The old monk looked haggard, as if he was seventy or eighty years old. He has a kind face, beard and hair, and piercing eyes, making him look like an eminent monk. He wore a white coarse cloth monk's robe with several patches on it. He held a string of Buddhist beads in his left hand and a dead tree half a man's height in his right hand. He could calmly deal with the girl's attack with only a dead tree in his right hand, which shows that this "poor man" "Monk" has good cultivation.
The old monk's figure was agile, and he flicked the dead wood to the left or right to neutralize the girl's fierce attack. Ling Ning thought to himself that he was not capable of achieving this level of calmness as if he were strolling in a garden at his fingertips. If he wanted to win, he would be able to control the girl with just one move.
He could tell that he couldn't help shouting "Hello" several times, which sounded like a sarcasm to the girl's ears. She became even more furious and attacked with all her strength.
"Amitabha!"
The old monk finally spoke. These four words seemed to be magical, and it was shocking to hear them! Even Ling Ning couldn't help but frown in shock, let alone the girl in the middle of the fight.
The girl screamed "Ah!" and took a few steps back, angrily yelling: "Smelly monk, what kind of magic are you using?" Although she was angry, seeing the old monk's cultivation, she didn't dare to do it easily. Step forward and take action again.
The old monk bowed with one hand and said with a smile: "I'm rude, that's good, that's good!"
He looked at the girl intently for a few times and then said: "The little benefactor was originally blessed with great blessings, but his desire is too strong. I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the pain of being burned by his karma in the future. You must remember that 'the person who loves and desires is like holding a torch against the wind. If you do this, you will surely burn your hands!"
The girl frowned and said impatiently: "What a mess, I can do whatever I want, I want whatever I want! Do you want you to talk too much? Hmph, that's ridiculous!"
The old monk was not angry when she said this, he just smiled and did not answer.
Seeing this, Ling Ning stepped forward and clasped his hands together in salute: "Master is good at cultivation. I heard that there is a unique skill in Buddhism, 'Vajra Lion Roar'. Is it considered that I have seen it today?"
The old monk smiled and returned the courtesy: "The little donor has good eyesight..." His eyes fell on Ling Ning, and after looking at him for a moment, his eyes suddenly opened slightly, as if he was slightly surprised.
"Master? What's wrong with you?" Ling Ning asked cautiously. Seeing the old monk staring at him, he felt uncomfortable all over as if he had been seen through. Even the palace owner made a slight nasal noise, obviously quite surprised.
The old monk came back to his senses. He watched Ling Ning hesitate to speak, then focused his eyes on Xia Shiqing's face. Finally he shook his head and said: "Amitabha! This little girl is trapped by lust, let me help her. .”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and put it on Xia Shiqing's forehead, reciting the Heart Sutra silently. A faint golden light emitted from his palm, and then Xia Shiqing, who had been restless, smiled and slowly fell asleep.
Ling Ning knew that he had no ill intentions and naturally would not stop him. Seeing that he had calmed down Xia Shiqing, she couldn't help but said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Master! Ling Ning is in the Water Moon Sky, and you still don't know the Master's name?"
The old monk said: "Amitabha, Lao Na Daolin."
Ling Ning bowed respectfully: "Master Daolin, please be polite!"
"Dolin?" The girl on the side frowned, showing a thoughtful look, "It sounds a bit familiar, but... but where have you heard it before..."
Daolin said: "Little benefactor, I have a message to give you."
Ling Ning said: "Master, please tell me."
Daolin paused slightly and then said: "Everything in this life is the cause and effect of the previous life. Dependent origination will disappear, and the dependent origin is empty. Don't be overly attached."
Ling Ning was stunned and said with a smile: "Master, what do you mean?"
Before Dolin could speak, the girl suddenly said loudly: "I know! I know!"
Ling Ning asked curiously: "You...what do you know?"
The girl's face showed ecstasy. She pointed at Dolin and exclaimed, "He! He, he, he...he is..."
Before she could say anything, a scream suddenly sounded not far away. This scream seemed very shrill in the night, as if she had been greatly stimulated. Ling Ning and Daolin subconsciously chased in the direction of the sound. Although the girl didn't want to meddle in other people's business, she had no choice but to follow because of Daolin.
The three of them ran for a hundred meters on the rugged mountain road. They saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old running towards them, shouting. She was covered in blood and looked panicked. Seeing the three of them was like seeing a savior. Panji shouted: "Help...save me!"
When the girl saw that the other person was a little girl, she felt pity and quickly walked up to help her. Unexpectedly, when they were only five steps apart, a black shadow suddenly flashed across, and then the little girl's head disappeared. , blood shot up into the sky and splashed all over her!
The girl stopped in shock, staggered and fell to the ground, obviously unable to believe what was happening in front of her. Ling Ning was startled, and together with Daolin, he reached out and grabbed the girl's left and right shoulders and pulled her back!
"Uh-huh!"
A deep scratch was left on the ground where the girl had fallen. If Ling Ning and Daolin hadn't pulled her away, she would have been the next one to be separated from her body and head!
Although the girl also has rich fighting experience, she has always been respectful and pampered, and she is protected by her elders. Naturally, she has never been so close to death like today, and she was a little stunned for a while.
Ling Ning and Dao Lin stood by her side, one on the left and the other on the right. Ling Ning had the stone sword in her hand, but Dao Lin just held the dead wood in front of him. Ling Ning activated his pupil technique and scanned the surroundings. Everything that happened just now was too sudden. Even he could only clearly see that something took off the little girl's head with sharp claws in an extremely fast moment. He had no time to react. , the enemy is so fast that I have never seen it in my life.
"It...it's up there!" The girl pointed tremblingly at the rock wall. Ling Ning suddenly looked up and saw a strange beast as big as a calf climbing on the rock wall. This alien beast's whole body was blood red, as if it had been peeled off a layer of skin alive. The muscles on its body were extremely developed, and the texture of the muscles and even the beating of blood vessels could be clearly seen. It has a head like a dog, with a mouth full of fangs that are turned out, dripping with blood. Its four claws are as sharp as razor blades and penetrate deeply into the rock wall. A human head is curled up on its whip-like tail, which is impressive. That little girl’s!
I saw it open its bloody mouth, throw the head in and bite it hard. There was a "click!" and the head was instantly torn apart. White brains mixed with broken bones and blood, mixed with colorful liquid flowed out. land. Its eyes were fixed on the three of them, as if it was showing off its power.
"Ah!" The girl, who had never seen such a scene before, exclaimed, then she pulled down her veil to reveal a delicate face, and retched regardless of the image.
Ling Ning smelled the bloody smell in the air with her nose, and her face was a little embarrassed. She held the long sword in her hand tighter, and her eyes were locked on the alien beast tightly, not daring to move away. The speed of this strange beast is extraordinary, and he may not be able to completely defend it, not to mention that there are Xia Shiqing and the girl behind him. He doesn't know the depth of Monk Daolin, but it seems possible to protect everyone by himself. Not big.
The calmest one was Daolin. He shook his head and sighed as usual: "Amitabha, it's still a step too late after all. Monsters are causing harm to the world and I don't know how many people will die because of it..."
Halfway through his words, the strange beast suddenly rushed towards him, its sharp claws reaching for his neck!
"Master..." Ling Ning shouted quickly, but before he could even say the word "be careful", the strange beast had already pounced on him! He had no time to react and thought that Daolin would die tragically on the spot. Unexpectedly, golden light suddenly burst out from his body, and a powerful spiritual power burst out from him!
"...Let me subjugate demons." Daolin said the second half of the sentence in a calm tone. Behind him, the shadow of King Kong appeared. King Kong was covered with a red snake. At this moment, the red snake was tightly entwined. Living with alien beasts, no matter how hard the alien beasts struggle, they cannot break free.
Ling Ning was stunned. She didn't expect that the wild monk she met in the deep mountains was so powerful. On the contrary, the girl's face was not so surprised, as if she had expected it.
"Written by Namo Sathatha, Sugatraya, Araha Emperor, and Samyak Sambodhi..." Daolin recited scriptures that he couldn't understand, and then the strange beast struggled in pain, and finally "Bang Bang" "The sound turned into a ball of red smoke and disappeared.
The golden light faded away. If it weren't for the little girl's body still in front of her, Ling Ning would have thought that everything just now was an illusion.
"Master, then...why did the strange beast disappear?" Ling Ning asked tremblingly.
"Ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust, these things that should not appear in the world, I have sent them back to their original places." Dolin explained lightly.
"Original place? Where is the original place? Master, does he know the origin of this beast?"
"Amitabha, there is a record of a monster living in the underworld in the "Record of Strange Beasts". This beast looks like a vicious dog and has strong muscles all over its body, but its skin is ulcerated and it likes to eat human heads. It is an ominous thing. This beast is called ' Bad food'... There will be a great catastrophe in Jiuyou, so the two little benefactors might as well go back and don't go any further."
Ling Ning missed Qian Meier in her heart, shook her head and said: "Since it is a catastrophe, I can't go back anymore... Why don't you let me accompany the master for a while..."
Before Dolin could speak, the girl stood up from the ground and said: "Me...and me! I want to go too!"
"Amitabha, if the two young donors are going to go, I can't guarantee that they will be considerate..."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back. As for this guy, hum, that's not necessarily the case!" Although the girl's face was still a little pale, she seemed to have regained her vitality. Seeing her looking at him with contempt, Ling Ning said helplessly: "It seems you were the one who was so frightened that he fell to the ground just now. You see there is still your vomit on the ground, so you can't deny it, right?"
"You're talking nonsense! I...I just...just reacted when I felt unwell for a moment. That's uncontrollable! Yes, it's uncontrollable! It's all because of you! You're always following me around. I don't have time to rest! It's all your fault!" The girl was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and she quickly denied that along with it came a wave of slander.
"You are such a woman..."
"how?"
"It's so baffling!"
"you!"
Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Daolin quickly stretched out his hand to stop them and said: "Two young benefactors, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is better to leave the canyon first before making any fuss."
The two looked at each other and groaned in dissatisfaction, but still followed Dolin's suggestion and ran towards the exit of the canyon. Along the way, monks who died tragically could be seen everywhere, all without their heads. Even with the powerful Daolin here, Ling Ning and the girl were still worried.
After leaving the canyon, the view suddenly opened up, and I saw several corpses lying on the road. Four or five vicious beasts were gnawing on the corpses. Blood and water mixed with internal organs flowed all over the ground, which was disgusting.
The three of them hurriedly took cover and saw that there were so many evil eating beasts. The three of them did not want to fight these strange beasts anymore, so they hid themselves and carefully moved forward.
There were groups of evil eating beasts. They encountered several waves along the way and finally found a cave. The cave is quite hidden. There is a huge boulder at the entrance, leaving only a small gap for entry. The evil eating beast is too big to enter, so it becomes a natural shelter.
Dowling said: "The night is very dark, so these evil eating beasts are extremely cruel. We should rest here and wait for dawn before setting off."
The three of them rested cross-legged in the cave, saying nothing for a while. On the way, Ling Ning kept wondering about Daolin's origins, but he could only guess that the other party came from the Fairy Dust Continent, and he didn't know anything else, so he asked: "Master is so cultivated, I don't know who the master is." Which temple do you practice in?"
Upon hearing this, the thoughtful girl on the side showed an expression of "You are really very ignorant" and blurted out: "You don't even know about the mountain monk? I really doubt whether you are a Taoist!"
"Ah? I've been in the Mortal Continent so I didn't know about it. I hope you can forgive me, Master..." Ling Ning said embarrassedly.
"Ignorance is ignorance, what excuse can you make? Humph, I really don't know why sister Meier fell in love with you?" The girl still didn't miss the opportunity to ridicule him. Fortunately, Ling Ning seemed to be used to her sarcasm and didn't take it seriously, just ignoring it.
"Amitabha!" Daolin said with a slight smile: "Daolin is just an ordinary monk. Even if the world knows about Daolin, Daolin is still an ordinary monk. What can he not offend?"
Ling Ning hurriedly said: "Master's indifference to fame and wealth is really admirable."
The girl hummed: "Master said this out of humility, but you don't know that you are really ignorant! Master Daolin is the abbot of Xianchen Jialan Temple and the number one person in Buddhism in the world! I don't know how many people want to meet him but can't. You guy actually doesn’t know who he is? It’s really...hehe...I don’t even know what to say..."
Ling Ning was slightly shocked. The words "the best person in Buddhism in the world" were an incredible comment. Could it be that this humble monk in front of him was actually a peerless master? But although he claimed to be Dorian, why was this girl so sure? To be honest, he didn't quite believe that he could meet such a peerless expert in a remote mountain. The chance was too slim.
Daolin shook his head and said: "Buddhism is boundless and there is no end to learning. I am still far behind. The title of the first person in Buddhism is too exaggerated."
The girl said: "Master, why do you have to be so modest? Who doesn't know that Jialan Temple is the number one temple in the world of immortality? As the abbot, what's wrong with you calling someone the number one in Buddhism?"
Daolin shook his head and sighed: "Amitabha, don't you dare. Daolin is burdened by his reputation. The world only pays attention to my reputation but not the Dharma. Alas, he is really putting the cart before the horse."
The girl said: "Master, what you said is not right. If you don't have a reputation, how can you convince all living beings? It is with reputation that all living beings can believe in you and learn the Dharma. Master, your merits are immeasurable!"
Dorian didn't retort this time, just smiled and shook his head.
The girl glanced at Ling Ning, hesitated slightly, and then said: "Master... I heard that you can clearly see the cause and effect of a person. When you saw me, you said, 'A person who loves and desires is like holding a torch and walking against the wind. , you will definitely have your hands burned.' Does it imply that my karma is not going smoothly..."
Daolin said: "Amitabha, you can't do everything and you can't say everything. Although I have seen some things, your destiny is still in your own hands, so don't worry too much."
The girl said anxiously: "How can you not care? With your strength, Master, you must have seen something to say this. Please give me some advice!"
Daolin shook his head and said: "Buddha said: It cannot be said, it cannot be said."
The girl said coquettishly: "Master, please..."
No matter how much the girl begged and entangled, Daolin still refused to reveal how an eminent monk with his level of cultivation could be persuaded by a little girl. Ling Ning recalled that the master seemed slightly surprised when he first met her. At that time, he said, "Everything in this life is the cause and effect of the previous life. Dependent origins will be destroyed, and the predestined life is empty. Don't be too attached."
He further thought of Qian Meier, who was already engaged, and thought to himself: "Can I really be non-attached? Let me watch Meier marry another man... Now that the fate has arisen, we must do it How easy is it for nothing?" Thinking of this, he felt sad and couldn't help but sigh.
For a while, Ling Ning and the girl were silent as they thought about their own thoughts. Daolin suddenly said: "Little benefactor, I feel a familiar aura on you. Have you ever seen my incompetent disciple Yi Nian?"
Ling Ning's heart moved and she said, "Is Yi Nian your disciple? Of course I have seen him before. He is doing evil everywhere in the Mortal Continent. Are you going to take him back this time?"
Daolin said: "Anyone who commits unrighteousness will be punished by his own death, but I don't need to take action. It's just...his master has passed away, and he asked me to bring him some words before he died."
Ling Ning nodded and said: "I see." He told the story of how he met Yi Nian several times, and Daolin sighed: "Amitabha, this boy is extremely talented but... oh, what a misfortune for Buddhism."
Ling Ning said: "Perhaps he is still wandering near the cave. Is Master going to find him?"
Daolin said: "No need, I have other important matters, please let them go later."
Ling Ning said: "Master, where are you going next?"
Before Daolin could speak, the girl said "Hey": "Master, are you going to the Zhaoti Temple? After hearing that the Buddha was going to be born there, many monks and a large number of monks had already rushed there. But the direction of Zhaoti Temple is not this way, are you going the wrong way?"
Daolin said: "I am not going to Zhaoti Temple, but to Jiuyouxie Sect. Those who are destined to have the Buddha treasure will naturally get it. If there is no fate, even if it is obtained, it will only be a temporary custodian."
The girl said: "Master wants to go to Jiuyou Evil Sect? Is it for Xuanyuan Sword? I heard that a big change is happening in Jiuyou Evil Sect, and after the change, Xuanyuan Sword will be born... Well, I don't know which one will be between Buddha treasure and Xuanyuan Sword. To be born first, this is like betting. Some people bet on Buddha treasures, others bet on Xuanyuan sword... Master, I don’t understand what fate you are talking about. I only know that I have to fight for what I want. If I just wait I'm afraid I won't get anything because of fate."
Daolin said: "Of course you have to work hard for everything, but you also have to know how to let go. I went to Jiuyou not for the Xuanyuan Sword, but for the upcoming 'big change'. The devil is about to come to the world, and if it can't be handled properly, I'm afraid everything will happen." The human world is about to fall into a desperate situation. I don’t know how many people will lose their lives and all living beings will be in ruins. Hey..."
The girl curled her lips and said indifferently: "What's the big deal about dead people? This kind of thing happens every day. I don't think there's anything wrong with big changes. My brother often says that big disasters are followed by big opportunities. This has not happened in the mainland for a long time. It’s lively, wouldn’t it be nice to watch it?”
Ling Ning said: "Hey, you are really worried that the world will not be in chaos. It is not you who died, so of course it has nothing to do with you. The master's compassion is a bit wasted on people like you."
The girl said angrily: "What did you say? Are you going to teach me a lesson? You stinky man, sooner or later I want you to die under my dagger!"
Ling Ning said: "It's strange that I'm afraid of you! You smell like a bad girl. Oh, by the way, I don't know your name yet, and I don't tell myself my name in front of the master. No wonder the master doesn't want to pay attention to you. You are so uneducated." I grew up in the mountains.”
The girl said angrily: "How dare you look down on our 'Four Forests'? Okay, do you want to go against us? Huh, you'd better stay in the Mortal Continent. If you set foot on the Fairy Dust Continent in the future, you will wait Die!" She restrained her anger and bowed to Daolin: "Master, forgive me, I was negligent. My little girl, Zi Ling, has met the master. The little girl was really rude before, so I ask the master to atone for her sins."
Daolin smiled and said: "Daolin is just an ordinary monk, no need to be polite. I don't tell you more, not because you are rude to me, but knowing some things in advance may not be a blessing. Besides, things in the world are impermanent. If If you know it in advance, you're afraid that the outcome will be irreversible, so it's better to just do whatever you want and wait for the flowers to bloom."
"Yes, thank you, Master!" Zi Ling seemed to be quite convinced of Daolin, otherwise with her temperament, it would be normal for her to put a knife on the other person's neck and question him.
Ling Ning didn't know that Zi Ling had been associated with Buddhism since she was a child. Her father died in the war when she was born, and her mother gave birth to her while fleeing due to the war. At that time, her mother was seriously injured. Not only was her spiritual power exhausted, but she also had signs of dystocia. Fortunately, she met She was born only after a wandering monk offered him a helping hand. Because of this, her mother also began to believe in Buddhism. She once saw a portrait collected by her mother, which was the portrait of Master Daolin, the first Buddhist figure in the contemporary world, so she was able to recognize that the person in front of her was Daolin.
As for how high Daolin's status is, the title of "the first person in Buddhism in the world" can already explain the problem. When Daolin first took over the management of Jialan Temple, the temple was in dilapidated condition and there were less than ten monks in the temple. At that time, it was a period of fierce fighting among the five major sects. Almost all the monks joined the battle of the five major sects, and even the "four major forests" also joined the war. It can be said that during that period, the Fairy Dust Continent was filled with rivers of blood and smog, and endless killings were taking place every moment. The usually peaceful Buddhist power declined significantly in this environment. Temples were destroyed and monks were massacred. Some remaining temples could only survive by being forced to stand in line. At the end of the war, almost no one was willing to study Buddhism, and Buddhism was on the verge of extinction.
At this moment, Dowling's appearance reversed the situation. His talent in Buddhism can be said to be unprecedented. He single-handedly settled the battles for nearly a thousand years, making the five major sects and the four major forests shake hands and make peace. Jialan Temple has become a sacred place for Buddhism. For a long time, he was even called the "Savior", and he brought Buddhism back to the peak of prosperity.
Facing such a legendary figure, even the most ferocious and cruel person must bow his head and salute, let alone a little girl like Zi Ling. Of course, Ling Ning didn't know this, otherwise he would have realized how rare it was to be able to show slight surprise to this enlightened monk whose expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of his mountain. This master who is rumored to be able to discern cause and effect may have really seen something from him before he was moved.
Ling Ning said: "Master, I heard that Yi Nian is quite famous in Buddhism at a young age. He is a genius that is rare in a thousand years. He was even trained as the next abbot of Jialan Temple. Why is he like this?"
Daolin said: "As the saying goes, 'Extreme wisdom will inevitably lead to injury', being too smart is sometimes not a good thing. I shouldn't mention this to outsiders, but little benefactor, you can run into him many times. Maybe this is the reason between you." It's fate. If there is a chance in the future, I hope you can save him once."
Ling Ning said hurriedly: "If I can be of any help, I will definitely obey my orders."
Zi Ling also heard the name of Monk Yi Nian in Xianchen Continent. Seeing that Daolin was about to start "telling stories", she also listened with interest.
Daolin recited a few Buddhist beads and then slowly said: "Yi Nian grew up in the temple. He is extremely talented, so he was admitted to Qingyin early... Qingyin is Lao Na's disciple..."
When Qingyin was mentioned, Ling Ning noticed that Daolin's rosary hand paused slightly, which showed the status of Master Qingyin in his heart.
…
The moon was sparse, and in a small fishing village on the seaside, the villagers had long been asleep. A tall man stood motionless in the middle of the village. His face was pale and expressionless like a zombie. The sea breeze mixed with a moist smell blew his long hair around his face, but the man remained unmoved. His eyes were always fixed on a statue of the Goddess of the Sea, and he murmured to himself: "How many Years have passed...I finally found you, my dear...sister..."
