Although Lingming Demon Lord is an ape, there is no demonic aura about him. Instead, he is full of majesty and domineering. Especially the faint golden light emitting from his body gives people a sense of sanctity.
Bu Xiaotian and others were also shocked by this sudden change. Even Master Kongwen, the most profound Buddhist practitioner, did not expect that the old monk who had been unknown and only knew how to sweep the floor would turn out to be a spiritual figure who was famous in the world a thousand years ago. Ming Yaozun.
Everyone couldn't figure it out. Back then, the Demon Lord Lingming and the other three Demon Lords led the Demon Clan invincibly and occupied almost half of the world, but they disappeared almost at the same time, which led to the Demon Clan's disastrous defeat.
Almost no one knows where the Four Demon Lords went after they disappeared, and it is even less likely that anyone would have thought that the Lingming Demon Lord had turned into an old monk and been hiding in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
Demon Lord Lingming ignored the people who were in great astonishment, grabbed Lotte who was also stunned, jumped up, and disappeared into the horizon into a ray of golden light.
At that time, Lingming Demon Lord was most famous for his thirty-six magical powers and the coiled dragon mixed iron rod in his hand. One of these thirty-six magical powers was the golden light that spanned the ground.
The vertical golden light is an extremely mysterious method of walking, and it is also quite difficult to practice. It cannot be practiced by those who are not talented and have extremely high understanding.
But once this magical power is cultivated, one can leap thousands of miles in an instant. As long as the cultivation is sufficient, traveling tens of thousands of miles in a day is as easy as eating and drinking.
After Demon Lord Lingming left, everyone gradually came back to their senses and looked at the direction in which they left with their thoughts.
When Bu Xiaotian saw Letian being taken away by Demon Lord Lingming, he immediately wanted to catch up with his sword, but Lan Yunxin reached out to stop him. He immediately looked at Lan Yunxin in confusion.
Lan Yunxin shook his head and explained:
"Stop chasing him. You can't catch him. And if Demon Lord Lingming really wants to hurt Letian, he won't take him away."
Bu Xiaotian thought for a moment and realized that what Lan Yun said was true, and he felt relieved a little.
At this moment, a black shadow ran into the temple gate very quickly and stopped in front of Bu Xiaotian.
It was the black donkey who had followed them to Tianling Mountain. However, the black donkey looked anxious at this time, and the little snow wolf that had been inseparable from it was nowhere to be seen.
When the black donkey saw Bu Xiaotian, he roared anxiously, and his four hooves kept digging at the bluestone ground beneath him.
But Bu Xiaotian and others felt a lot more relieved when they saw Hei Donkey coming alone.
Little Snow Wolf must have been taken away by Lingming Demon Lord and Lotte. The fact that Lingming Demon Lord was able to take away Little Snow Wolf gave Xiaotian and others the confidence that he would not harm Lotte.
After Master Kongwen came to his senses, he immediately called the monks in the courtyard to calm the somewhat chaotic situation caused by the appearance of Demon Lord Lingming.
After doing this, Master Kongwen said to Bu Xiaotian and others:
"Since Lotte's little benefactor is not in danger, please follow the monk to the back to rest for a while."
Bu Xiaotian and the others nodded slightly when they heard the words, and then followed Master Kongwen and Faming into the main hall.
The main hall is extremely grand. On both sides of the hall are dozens of golden Buddha statues of Bodhisattvas and Arhats. There are big and small Buddha statues, the big one is three feet long, and the small one is less than one foot.
The expressions of these Buddha statues are also different, some are smiling, some are looking up to the sky and laughing, and some are angry.
Although these dozens of Buddha statues have their own characteristics, they all carry a sense of righteousness. Even the ferocious-looking Buddha statues do not feel spooky at all.
But at the front of the main hall, there is another unique Buddha statue.
This Buddha statue is not coated with a layer of gold paint like other Buddha statues, but is made of white jade.
The entire Buddha statue is completely natural, with no trace of carving at all, as if it was born this way.
This is the origin of the word "Emerald Buddha" in Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
It is said that Master Kuci, the founder of the Jade Buddha Temple, had an epiphany under this Jade Buddha. After twenty years of hard training, he came out of the mountain and had enough cultivation to join forces with Master Yunxu and the King of Medicine to defeat the demon Lord Qiu Tianren and save the people of the world.
Bu Xiaotian and his party did not stay too long in the main hall. They followed Master Kongwen straight through the main hall and passed through the backyard without stopping.
Until passing through the entire temple, at the back of the temple, an inconspicuous path winds upwards, leading into the lingering clouds and mist on the mountain, as if leading to another world.
At the intersection, Master Kongwen did not stop and stepped directly onto the path.
Bu Xiaotian and others naturally followed. As they moved forward, the mountain road became increasingly steeper, and in some places there was no road at all.
Fortunately, these people are not ordinary people, they have extraordinary skills, and they can jump over any place like this.
After walking for another two hours, the group of people had entered the depths of the clouds and mist, and could see nothing else except the vast white mist.
Bu Xiaotian and others followed Master Kongwen closely and kept moving forward.
Suddenly, after a few people walked for another quarter of an hour, the surrounding clouds gradually became thinner until they completely disappeared, and a small temple appeared in front of them.
This temple is completely different from the splendid Jade Buddha Temple at the foot of the mountain. It is just a simple stone wall and blue tiles, covering an area of only a few dozen feet, and looks very simple.
Several young disciples were meditating in the courtyard, reciting scriptures, or doing some cleaning chores, without making too much noise.
The whole temple seemed very quiet and peaceful.
Seeing Master Kongwen and Bu Xiaotian and others walking out of the fog, these disciples did not show any strange expressions on their faces. They just put their hands together and performed a Buddhist salute to them and continued to do their own thing.
Master Kongwen took them to the main hall in the middle of the temple. They saw three monks sitting cross-legged on futons in the center of the temple, who looked similar to Master Kongwen in terms of age and attire.
The auras of these monks are like an abyss, comparable to Master Kongwen.
The first time he saw them, Bu Xiaotian knew their identities - the other three of the four great monks of the Jade Buddha Temple, the Kongjian Divine Monk, the Kongzhi Divine Monk, and the Kongwu Divine Monk.
When the three divine monks saw Master Kongwen and Bu Xiaotian, they all had a smile on their faces. The monk in the center said:
"Junior Brother Kongwen is back. These little donors must be the three nephews of Yuxu Sect, right?"
The voice is calm, making people unconsciously feel a sense of peace in their hearts.
"I've met three senior brothers."
Master Kongwen bowed to the three of them and said:
"Senior Brother Kong Jian, they are Junior Sister Xuanyu's disciple, Junior Nephew Yun Xin, Senior Brother Xiao Tianxiong's disciple, Junior Nephew Yuntian, and Junior Brother Gu Qinglin's disciple, Junior Nephew Yun Ying."
Master Kongjian nodded when he heard this, and the smile on his face became a little gentler. He pointed at the empty futons in front of him and said with a smile:
"Three nephews, please don't be restrained. Please sit down. The conditions of our temple are poor, so please don't be offended."
Bu Xiaotian and the others did not dare to say anything, and saluted respectfully to the three of them. Even Yun Ying, who had always been eccentric, also followed Bu Xiaotian and Lan Yunxin in saluting.
After the four people sat down, Master Kong Jian continued to praise:
"These nephews are really talented. They have achieved such cultivation at such a young age. The brothers of Yuxu Sect are really lucky!"
Seeing the master's words fall, several other people also showed gentle smiles on their faces. There was no trace of jealousy or envy in their eyes, as if they were looking at their own juniors, which made people feel refreshed.
Bu Xiaotian heard Master Kongjian's praise and said humbly:
"Master is so complimentary!"
When Master Kongjian saw Bu Xiaotian being so humble and polite, a look of approval appeared in his eyes and he said:
"Master Nephew Yuntian, there is no need to be too modest. What we practitioners cultivate is the true self. We should seek truth from facts. Right is right and wrong is right and wrong.
The poor monk did not mean to reprimand Yuntian's nephew, but since these nephews possess such talents, they should practice diligently and become the mainstay of my world's righteous path as soon as possible. "
Bu Xiaotian and others all said seriously:
"Disciples, please remember the master's teachings!"
Master Kongwen nodded slightly, looked at Yunying, and said:
"I have heard about what you did in Surabaya City before. I never thought that Junior Brother Xuan Qing, who has always been arrogant and unruly, would teach such an outstanding disciple. It is true that a famous teacher gives birth to a great disciple!"
Yun Ying said in a low voice with some embarrassment:
"Actually, it's all thanks to brother Xiaotian. My master almost didn't take care of me after he accepted me as his disciple..."
Although Yun Ying's voice was very low, everyone in the hall heard it clearly.
Bu Xiaotian reprimanded in a low voice:
"Ying'er, don't be rude in front of these masters!"
"Oh~"
Seeing a hint of grievance on Yun Ying's face, the four divine monks all showed a hint of smile.
Bu Xiaotian looked at the four Masters Kong Jian and saw that they didn't look angry at all, so he asked:
"Master, there are obviously countless believers at the foot of the mountain, why do you have to stay in such a bitter and cold place?"
