There is a place directly to the west of the Dayou Empire, which is called Qinlu; and in the extreme west of the Qinlu Land, there is a temple, which is called Pagoda.

The Buddha Temple stands high on the steep and protruding peaks of the mountains. Although it is far less majestic and majestic than the two mountains of "Dragon, Tiger and Wudang", it is still equipped with pavilions and temples, and the temple is surrounded by greenery and flowers.

There are clusters of brocades, and the temple is antique and solemn.

However, except for the architectural outline and natural scenery of the Buddha Temple, which is slightly inferior to these two places, it does not fall behind in other aspects, such as the "faith" that is most valued among Buddhism and Taoism.

.

Because it is the first temple where Buddhism from the Western Regions was introduced to the Central Plains, it has naturally become a holy place in the minds of Buddhist believers. Every day, incense is filled with offerings in the temple, and when an endless stream of worshipers come here, they will

The great Buddhist etiquette of putting hands together, kneeling once after taking three steps, bowing once after taking five steps, and kowtow after taking seven steps was carried out year after year, day after day, so much so that the stone slabs in front of the temple doors were even dented.

There is a cliff cave behind the Buddha Temple. There is nothing special about the cave. It is located on a gentle slope above the mountains. There are some weeds and flowers on the gentle slope. There are a few colorful butterflies and bees among the flowers and grass. There is a tray at the entrance of the cave.

, there was a vegetarian meal that had already cooled down on the tray... At noon, a young monk came to the cliff cave with a tray. After taking a look at the untouched tray that had been put down in the morning at the entrance of the cave, he gently

With his feet, he took away the vegetarian meal on the original tray and put the vegetarian meal he had just brought on it again. After doing all this, the little monk picked up the tray and prepared to leave. But at the moment he turned his head, another

I couldn't help but look back at the entrance of the cave. It was so dark inside that I couldn't see anything clearly, but the young monk was a little unwilling to give up, just because it contained his faith.

The faith of ordinary believers lies in the temple of Buddha Temple, in the worship of gods and Buddhas in the temple, and in the soothing words of their group of monks... The faith of their group of monks in Buddha Temple lies in this cliff cave, of course.

This is not very accurate. A more accurate statement is that their faith lies in the monks in the cliff cave, because they are not ordinary monks, they are the sons of Buddha, and they are Buddhas in the human world.

Yes, the monk in this cliff cave is Wu Xin.

Since he slaughtered the group of monks in Xiangguo Temple in the imperial capital a few months ago and developed inner demons, he bid farewell to Mu Qiuhuang and returned here. And since the day he returned to Futu Temple, he has been alone

He got into this cliff cave. From that day on, the young monk was arranged by the abbot to be responsible for delivering meals to Wu Xin. But what surprised the young monk was that during that period of time, the food was still there.

Someone was eating, but at the end of this period, the food was not moved at all. Calculating carefully, it was actually 7749 days. Normal people will be hungry and exhausted if they don't eat for three days. If they don't eat at this time,

If it grows longer, it will directly starve to death. Therefore, when the young monk found that the food was not eaten on the first day, he quickly reported it to the abbot, but the abbot just smiled slightly and said something like "Buddha needs to cross by himself..."

"The young monk felt that these words were too profound and did not dare to ask any more questions. He had to come back to perform the duties assigned to him by the abbot. Although the food had not been touched for so many days, he still had not touched it.

Being lazy, every time it was time to eat, he would bring fresh food and then replace the food that had not been touched at all from the previous meal.

Just as the little monk found nothing again, he sighed and turned around to leave, when he suddenly found two monks appearing behind him.

The monk holding a copper and tin staff in one hand and throwing out rosary beads in the other was none other than the great monk who went to Beiyu with Wu Xin, Monk Jue Chan.

The other monk has long earlobes and long eyebrows, but no beard. His eyebrows have even drooped to the tip of his nose. His eyebrows are as pure white as snow. The most prominent thing is his eyes, which look like

It was actually dark and watery, like a child's eyes, which did not match the old wrinkles at the corners of his eyes at all. Moreover, this monk did not wear a monk's hat on his head or a cassock on his body, except for the must-have ones.

Apart from the pure white monk's robe and straw sandals, all he had was the string of Buddhist beads in his hand. However, judging from the casual posture in which he held the beads, he seemed to have a look of disgust... Although he looked quite old,

He also has a kind face and kind eyes, but no one can associate him with the legendary eminent monk. But even so, this monk is a real eminent monk, and he is the only two outstanding monks of the "Jue" generation in Futu Temple.

One of them is Jue Se, the senior brother of Monk Jue Chan.

"I have seen two great uncles." When the young monk saw these two people, he quickly bowed and saluted.

Monk Jue Chan nodded in response when he heard the words. The monk he called abbot stepped forward and touched the young monk's bald head, and said with a smile: "Bald heads don't have to worry about rain. Others

You have an umbrella, you have a bald head..."

"Uncle Master..." the young monk called out in aggrieved tone, obviously he had been accustomed to this matter for a long time.

The Zen staff in Monk Jue Chan's hand lightly stomped on the ground, obviously reminding Jue Se that what he was doing was a bit disrespectful.

But who knows, seeing this, he abandoned the little monk's big head and touched the head of the monk Juechan.

Of course, Monk Jue Chan was dissatisfied with this. With a slight tap of his feet, his whole body moved back three feet... With a "pop" sound, Jue Se's hand slapped Monk Jue Chan's head.

Seeing that he could not escape, Monk Juechan stopped dodging, but his face turned dark.

After Jue Se rubbed Monk Jue Chan's head twice, he said to himself: "The touch of the big monk's bald head is not as good as the touch of the little monk's bald head."

As soon as Juese said these words, Monk Juezhan couldn't help but look at each other angrily.

"What are you staring at? Senior brother touches your head. It hurts you. How dare you hide? Don't forget that you were all taught by senior brother and me. If you are allowed to hide, how can you let senior brother and me hang out in front of these juniors?

?" Juese said dissatisfied.

Poor monk Jue Chan had a hidden illness and could not speak, so he had no choice but to turn his head away and ignore him.

He turned around and looked at the little monk with a smile, and said with a smile: "Little monk, come here and let the ancestor touch two more hands."

Although the young monk was aggrieved, he did not dare to disobey, so he ran over with the tray and handed his head to it.

Juese put his hand on the young monk's head and rubbed it with a smile, and said: "Wuhua is still sensible... I must have made my ancestors ask Xu Xiang to pass on his position as abbot to you."

"Uncle Master, I have no results..." the young monk explained in a low voice.

Juese said with a nonchalant look on his face: "Oh, it turns out there is no result! Then I will ask Xu Jian to pass on his position as the head of the Discipline Academy to you..."

Wuhua didn't dare to answer when he heard the words, so he had to lower his head aggrievedly. Everyone in the entire Futu Temple knew that this ancestor loved to play around, and was usually out of shape... but he couldn't stand him, no matter his cultivation or seniority.

He is the tallest in the temple. The abbot and several other chiefs are either his nephews or his disciples... Therefore, on weekdays, these monks can only hide when they see him. If they can't hide, they have to live with it.

Fortunately, this ancestor

Apart from his fondness of touching people's heads, Zong doesn't have any other bad habits.

Juese touched Wu Hua's head and asked, "Why hasn't Xu Xiang come yet? Doesn't he know that Wu Xin boy will come out of seclusion today?"

Jue Chan glanced at him helplessly and thought, "If it weren't for you, why would they not come?"

"What? Uncle Master, you said that Senior Brother Wu Xin is fine and will come out today?" Wu Hua said with joy on his face.

"What are you worrying about? Nothing will happen to him if something happens to you. Don't forget that he is a disciple of Buddha."

Juese spoke up, looked up at the cliff cave, and muttered to himself: "I'm afraid that Wu Xin's little bald head won't be able to be touched after today?"

At this moment, three or four more monks came over with a group of monks.

"I've met the abbot, I've met all the uncles." Wu Xin said quickly, but his head was still under Jue Se's hand and he couldn't bow down to salute.

"I've met my uncle."

"I met the master."

"I've met my great uncle."

Xu Xiang and the others saluted Juese and Juechan with all their chatter.

"There's no need to be polite!" Juese said with a smile, his eyes looking at Xu Xiang, Xu Jian, Xu Kong, Xu Hui... After glancing at their heads, they couldn't help but frowned and reprimanded: "What are you wearing in the summer?"

A monk’s hat? He’s not afraid of covering up prickly heat…”

Xu Xiang and others had no choice but to keep smiling, feeling aggrieved in their hearts, thinking: "If it weren't for your old man's special hobby, why would we be like this?"

…

Before everyone could wait for a long time, after only half a cup of tea, the inside of the cliff cave suddenly shimmered with golden light, and it suddenly became brighter, as if there was a sun shining inside the cliff cave... At this time, except for

One person was still looking into the cliff cave with his eyes open, while the others were directly blinded by the shining golden light.

Fortunately, the light did not last long, it shone for a moment and then disappeared, and then another person walked out of the cave.

This person is none other than the Buddhist disciple they call Wu Xin.

Wu Xin slowly walked out of the cliff cave and stood under the sun. Except for the monk's robes and boots that were a little tattered, the rest of his body was the same. His lips were red and his teeth were white... After staying in the cave for so many days, his face was not stained.

Not to mention, there was an ethereal aura all over his body.

"Has your inner demon been broken?" Juese couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xin did not answer his words, but raised her head and looked at the sun on the horizon.

Seeing this, Jue Se and Jue Chan followed Wuxin and looked towards the sun.

When the monks saw this, they also looked towards the sun with the three of them. However, the sun was so intense at this time that it was impossible to look directly at it. In just a moment, the monks could not bear the rays of the sun, and they all

Lowering his head, even the monk Jue Chan was no exception.

Only Jue's expression remained the same, but he only looked at it for a while longer than them before he also withdrew his gaze.

But Wu Xin still maintained the same appearance as before, his figure motionless.
