"Amitabha!"
Master Haicheng pretended not to have heard what Guang Yue said, "Guang Yue presides over Buddhism so profoundly that he is evenly matched with the Weitu of Da Liuli Temple. The old monk feels ashamed."
The Lanshan Temple where Monk Haicheng lives is just a small temple in Dingshan County. It has neither a large sect background nor sufficient inheritance, and it is not even qualified to visit the Weitu trio.
He was able to come to Jiming Temple to meet and discuss rituals because there were no famous temples in Yizhou, and his seniority was relatively high.
Guang Yue calmed down and thanked Taoist Master Ming Zhang, Master Haicheng, Lu Zheng and others.
"You're welcome, we just came to join in the fun, but actually we didn't do anything." Lu Zheng said.
"That's different. Seeing the ceremony is a witness." Taoist Master Mingzhang said, "This kind of formal discussion needs to be witnessed by others."
"That's right, but that Weitu didn't mean any harm." Guangyue said, "It's almost noon now, so we just had a fast meal in the temple before leaving."
So everyone had lunch at Jiming Temple, and then Master Haicheng took his two disciples to the south, while Taoist Master Mingzhang and Lu Zheng took off and flew to Tonglin County.
"Yuan Zheng?"
"Master?"
Taoist Master Mingzhang asked, "Today is the Chinese New Year, are you going back to Baiyun Mountain?"
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "If you have nothing to do, go back. I still have a lot of books to read in the Sutra Pavilion. I will stay in the temple for half a month during the Chinese New Year, so I can read some more."
Taoist Master Mingzhang was speechless, "You can go back to the mountain at any time."
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "It's not that urgent."
After all, the light of luck is limited, so saving and spending at the same time is the way to go. Spending too much at once without leaving any room is not a long-term solution.
"Okay, it's up to you." Taoist Master Mingzhang shook his head and said. Seeing that he was approaching Tonglin County, he turned around with Yuan Jing and flew in the direction of Shaotong Mountain.
Lu Zheng and Shen Ying lowered their cloud heads at the west gate of the county, showed their figures, and strolled into the city.
"Let's have dinner at home tonight." Lu Zheng said, "and stay one night by the way."
Shen Ying readily agreed, "It's still early now, let's go see Qing Yan."
So the two of them went hand in hand to the east of the city. As soon as they passed through the middle of the county town, they saw an old monk wearing gray and worn monk's robes, with a thin figure and a weathered face walking slowly.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Ying looked at Lu Zheng, and then followed her eyes to see the old monk.
"Amitabha!"
The old monk came to a stop in front of the two of them, chanted the name of the Buddha, put his hands together and saluted, "The old monk would like to ask for a copper coin to cast a golden body of the Buddha, pray for the benefactor, and wish the benefactor good health, peace and joy in this life, and happiness in the west in the next life."
Shen Ying's eyes flashed and she looked up and down at the old monk.
Lu Zheng turned his hand, and a copper coin came into his hand, while another copper coin suddenly appeared in Shen Ying's palm.
"Grandmaster!"
Seeing Lu Zheng showing the copper coin, the old monk put the palms of his hands together and stretched them forward together.
Lu Zheng put the copper coins in his hand, and Shen Ying also hurriedly put the coins in.
"Amitabha! Thank you so much!"
The old monk bowed to Lu Zheng and then to Shen Ying. Then he lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, ignored the two of them, and left slowly.
"Lu Lang?" Shen Ying looked at Lu Zheng with questions in her eyes.
"A few years ago, I met him once in Yizhou Prefecture and Tonglin County," Lu Zheng said. "I was still weak at the time and couldn't tell his true story."
"What now?"
Lu Zheng shook his head, "I still can't tell, but in the past few years..."
Lu Zheng thought for a moment and then added, "Nothing has changed at all."
Then he is definitely not a mortal. He is probably the same as the beggar named Liu, an old man who plays in the mortal world, but the old beggar directly begs for food, while he asks for money.
Um……
"Why do you think these big guys are so miserable? It seems that I can just go beg for food or ask for money without practicing."
Shen Ying glanced at Lu Zheng and said, "When people beg for food and money, they can subjugate demons. Is that okay if you don't practice?"
Lu Zheng said seriously, "I can give the monsters extra food."
"For example, vixens, peach blossom demons and other female spirits, I can feed them to fullness!" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously.
Shen Ying was speechless.
But the old monk who had already left them far away suddenly moved his feet.
…
When the two came to Renxintang, they saw Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao in the medical shop, with Wang Xiaowan and Yi Xiaoqian nearby.
"Hey? Why are you two here? Do you want to meet up to go to the theater again in the afternoon?" Lu Zheng asked.
Wang Xiaowan paused, and Yi Xiaoqian felt a little embarrassed, "Is it so obvious?"
Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao couldn't help laughing.
Lu Zheng nodded, "Obviously."
Yi Xiaoqian couldn't help but scratch her head, "Then I'll come every day from now on."
Liu Qingyan stepped forward and grabbed Yi Xiaoqian, "Lu Lang is joking with you. You come here every day. Ningxian Cheng should blame us for being ignorant."
"My husband will not complain!" Yi Xiaoqian waved her hands repeatedly.
"But I will complain. You come here every day. What should I do?" Lu Zheng asked.
Yi Xiaoqian, "..."
Everyone laughed, and then after Liu Qingyan finished looking at the last patient, she said hello to Mr. Liu, and then walked to Yuling Garden together.
When Lu Zheng came to Yuling Garden and asked for a private room, when he saw that Yue Honghai was not there, he knew that he had gone to Xin Zhanting for a drink again.
"It seems everything is fine over there at Jiming Temple."
Liu Qingyan saw that Lu Zheng and Shen Ying came back early and looked as usual, so she knew that nothing unexpected happened during the Guangyue Dharma discussion at Jiming Temple.
However, neither the doctor's shop nor the road were suitable places to ask questions. Now I came to the elegant room of Yuling Garden and asked.
"It's okay. Guangyue and the Weitu Dharma discussion from Da Liuli Temple ended in a draw. The three monks left without saying a word."
"Is this the end?" Liu Qingyan asked.
"That's it."
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "According to Guang Yue, the other party has no ill intentions. It's just a normal visit to discuss the law and leave immediately after the discussion.
Going to each other's world to discuss Dharma is a long-standing method of communication between Central Plains Buddhism and Western Buddhism. "
Thinking back to this morning, the other party simply came to the door and left quietly. Guang Yue felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. This was mainly because he was worried that he would not be able to argue with the other party and lose the face of Rizhao Temple and himself.
"I thought that the monk from Da Liuli Temple was up to something," Liu Qingyan said, "I didn't expect them to be quite disciplined."
Lu Zheng shook his head, "The matter of the Guangyue Relic is over. Don't worry about it. The other party just wants to regain face in Guangyue, but I didn't expect that Guangyue Buddhism is not weak."
However, Shen Ying sneered and said, "They are traveling on the territory of Dajing. How dare they not abide by the rules? If they are doing something secretly, do they really think that the practitioners of Dajing are just free food?"
Liu Qingyan nodded, "That's good."
At this moment, an inaudible loud noise suddenly sounded in everyone's consciousness, and a faint yin energy suddenly passed by.
"City God's Temple?"
"Yin Yang Road?"
"This is...the Ghost King?"
