"Don't worry! This monk I'm talking about is absolutely fine." Bai Xuan said with a confident smile.
When Lin Xi heard this, she became even more worried.
"What he said... couldn't be Xumi!" Lin Xi was suspicious.
But he asked: "I wonder if I know who that monk is?"
Bai Xuan suddenly became mysterious and said, "He happens to be on the border of Cangzhou. Let's look for him now. When you see him, you will know."
In Cangzhou, there are more women than men, and women are superior to men.
Therefore, even if the Buddhist power develops here, there will be many temples for aunts and few temples for monks.
If it is discovered that a man is hiding in a temple, it will be a huge scandal and will be despised by the entire Buddhist sect.
In local areas, it is often the case that some flower nuns come down from the mountain to molest young men from good families, which often easily arouses resentment.
Poyao Mountain and Stone Temple are the addresses of Lin Xi and Bai Xuan, the 'eminent monks' they visited this time.
I had to admit that Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief when Bai Xuan told him the address.
He was very sure that Xumi was still imprisoned in Laojun Temple.
"There are many strange sights in Cangzhou, but the most strange one is the Shengyin River at the source of the Lancang River. The water of the Shengyin River contains the innate extremely yin energy, and the Shengyin Sect is also located on the riverside. Every year there is a certain amount The innate extremely yin energy flows into the Lancang River along the river. And the Lancang River is also the mother river of the entire Cangzhou people."
"Because of this, under the influence of the wisps of innate extremely yin energy, the entire Cangzhou will show a situation of yin prosperity and yang decline. Whether women are practicing, practicing martial arts or studying literature, even working, plowing, etc. All means of livelihood are much better than those of men. And often stunning women appear on the border of Cangzhou..." Along the way up the mountain, Bai Xuan was still chatting with Lin Xi about the past and origin of Cangzhou.
In fact, Lin Xi already knew this.
But Bai Xuan really wants to be an older brother and teach his younger brother. Lin Xi was also willing to cooperate.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, where the Stone Temple was, Bai Xuan happened to talk about the ambitious and amazing Stone Queen who lived more than 1,800 years ago.
At the same time, the story of Queen Stone is also somewhat related to the Stone Temple they are going to today.
"Queen Stone is a talented and powerful woman. If she had not fallen, she might have conquered Cangzhou, accomplished great things, and become one of the rare rulers of multiple states. Unfortunately, she still trusted her brother too much after all. It fell on the night of Prince Dou's rebellion. The Dzou Dynasty, which once had strong troops and great momentum, has finally become ashes of the past. However, many of the stone temples built during the time of Queen Stone have been preserved. "
"It is said that the Stone Queen was reincarnated by the future Amitabha in the Paradise World, so almost all the people enshrined in the stone temple are the future Amitabha."
When the two of them said this, they were already standing at the door of the Stone Temple.
This is a hanging temple.
It is built beside the mountain road and sunken into the cliff.
Looking down, there is a secluded pool.
In the temple, there are ancient bells ringing.
Then I heard the sound of wooden fish beating.
It seems that there are also monks who are chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name.
Lin Xi smiled slightly: "Although it is a small temple on a hill, it is elegant and quiet, and it is indeed easy to hide the true Buddha..."
Before he finished speaking, the smile on Lin Xi's face became dull.
Because he heard the specific content of the chanting sound.
"Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted flower duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe, dried meat, sausage... Chiliu!" vaguely! , and there seemed to be an additional sound of slurping.
"Isn't this... not the name of the dish?" Lin Xi was stunned.
"I can't do it anymore! I can't do it anymore! I'm full! I'm full! If I keep reading, I'll be able to endure it." Among the murmurs, he was talking to himself.
Lin Xi turned to look at Bai Xuan with a mechanical expression.
"Is this the eminent monk we are looking for?"
According to convention, those who break the precepts may not be bad monks, but... those who talk about eating and think about it in this way must not be serious monks.
Demons are good at exploiting vulnerabilities in people's hearts.
As a demon, Lin Xi understands this very well.
If a monk has a defective mind, then no matter how much he has Buddha nature, no matter how well he understands Buddhist principles, no matter how profound the Dharma is, or how brilliant his cultivation is, he may be led astray in an instant and become an enemy. Not a helper.
"Let's go! You'll know when you go in!" The two brothers, one after the other, pushed open the temple door and walked in.
In the center of the small Buddhist hall, there is a big-bellied Amitabha Buddha covered with gold foil.
On the left and right sides, there are King Kong and Arhat that are only painted with mahogany paint.
And a monk wearing a green cassock was knocking on the wooden fish, with his palms raised, mumbling words and drooling.
"Monk! Master!" Bai Xuan called out several times before the monk woke up from his 'sweet dream'.
Turning his head, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes.
It's just that his skin is dark and his drooling look makes him look a little vulgar.
"Amitabha! The young monk just dreamed that a demon tempted the young monk with delicious food. The young monk tried his best to refuse..." Without opening his eyes, the monk was judging himself and trying to save his image.
Lin Xi expressed her rejection in her heart...their demons will not take the blame.
But before the monk finished speaking, he finally opened his eyes and saw Bai Xuan. After realizing that he was an acquaintance, he gave up his explanation.
Standing in a slouched posture, he then said to Bai Xuan: "It turns out it's you. Why are you here looking for your Buddha?"
bai Where did the title come from?”
The monk immediately corrected his attitude, clasped his hands together, and then said to Lin Xi: "Is this your younger brother? He is indeed a talented person."
"Crazy Sword Bai Fan... a genius of swordsmanship, I've heard of it!"
"We met for the first time today. The young monk calls himself Monk Yun!"
Lin Xi looked at the monk who suddenly looked a bit like him. He bowed back and asked, "I wonder what the master's specific name is?"
Monk Yun's expression froze, and then he said: "All the things in the past are like clouds and smoke, and all the troubles in the past were thrown into the rolling waves of the river. There is no need to mention it again... Just call me Monk Yun! Feel free to call me Be kind."
Lin Xi looked at Monk Yun with a puzzled expression.
He also spent a few days as a monk.
He also knew the tricks of the monks.
Monk Yun, with no foreshadowing or follow-up, rashly started pretending... This is a bit unruly!
However, compared to Monk Yun's unruly pretense, Lin Xi was more concerned about what he had that deserved Bai Xuan's attention, and she swore that he was an enlightened monk.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Xi believed that he had seen what a true eminent monk was.
And in order to become such a monk who is immovable in the eight winds and has the mentality of a bodhisattva, the suffering and torture he needs to go through are also extraordinary.
According to Lin Xi's understanding, it means experiencing some of the most painful life and death separations or hardships in the world. The one who doesn't go crazy and maintains a compassionate heart is the enlightened monk he needs to find.
Not the one in front of me...
Afterwards, there was a conversation between Bai Xuan and Monk Yun.
Bai Xuan first described the cause and effect to Monk Yun.
Next, Monk Yun performed, what does it mean to be evasive and eloquent.
Then Bai Xuan pressed forward step by step, and seemed to have some control over his opponents, leaving no room for retreat.
In the end... Monk Yun failed in his resistance and reluctantly joined the demon-killing team.
The whole process was harmonious, friendly, democratic, and honest...
"What kind of monk is this? Greedy, timid, glib... When I was a monk, I performed better than him." Lin Xi had doubts, but he could only leave it at that.
No matter what, Bai Xuan is really strong.
With him here, inviting Yue Lingjian from Nanling Sword Pavilion, and Chu Lingxiao... who can mobilize support at any time, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Wait for the departure time to be arranged.
Because there are no guest rooms on the mountain, we can only return the same way.
The two of them had already cultivated themselves and could have walked on the clouds.
However, Bai Xuan now enjoys being ordinary, and Lin Xi goes with him.
On the way back, Lin Xi repeatedly heard from Bai Xuan what was so profound about Monk Yun.
Bai Xuan couldn't stand Lin Xi's repeated inquiries, and finally relaxed.
"It's not my place to tell you how powerful Monk Yun is. When you come and have more contact with him, you will have the opportunity to know. But...since you are so curious, I will give you some advice."
Speaking of this, Bai Xuan felt a little stuck for some reason.
There seems to be something that is difficult to express, and I feel ashamed to speak.
So he took a roundabout way and then said, "What do you think of Monk Yun?"
He asked Lin Xi questions first.
Lin Xi replied smoothly: "Gluttonous, lazy, and afraid of getting into trouble, his cultivation level is not advanced at all."
Not only is it not profound, it is simply not pleasing to the eye.
It was only in the foundation building period, but now Lin Xi didn't take it seriously at all.
Bai Xuan nodded and said: "Yes! Not only that, he is also greedy for money, lustful, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong..."
"There is really no trace of a monk."
"But that's just who he is now, not who he was in a certain state."
"Men...sometimes, at a specific time and state, they will assume an extraordinary and holy posture, and their thoughts and ideas will reach a height beyond ordinary times in an instant."
"And Monk Yun... his nickname is 'One Breath Super Saint', Brother Fan... do you understand?"
Bai Xuan finished speaking in one breath, his expression was a little strange, and he seemed to be holding back a smile.
Lin Xi reverberated his words in his mind for a few times, and then... his expression became strange.
Then I couldn't suppress my laughter at all.
As a experienced demon, he would not laugh under normal circumstances... unless he couldn't help it.
"In other words, under special circumstances, Monk Yun will enter an overclocking state and become another him? That should be the case! And one breath... is too short! How miserable! No wonder... he will become a high monk. The world is right He is so cruel, compared to him... maybe Xumi's suffering is really nothing?"
