When Monk Hui Ming and the others saw that it was the abbot's order, they didn't dare to stop Shen Luo and the other. However, they still followed behind the two. It seemed that they had received Grandmaster Jiang Liu's order to closely monitor the two.
Elder Zheshi took Shen Luo and Lu Huaming to the side hall and had a vegetarian meal together.
However, Monk Hui Ming and the others acted as if they were monitoring criminals. They stood around the wooden table where Shen Luo and the others were sitting and stared at them without blinking. Lu Huaming naturally had no interest in eating. However, Shen Luo turned a blind eye and ate two big bowls, causing Lu Huaming to roll his eyes.
There were many believers in Jinshan Temple, so Elder Zheshi did not accompany the two for too long. After finishing the meal, he waved his sleeves and left.
"Well, the two benefactors have heard about the assembly, and now that the meal has been eaten, please." As soon as Elder Zheshi left, Monk Hui Ming unceremoniously took a few steps forward and ordered them to leave.
"We …" Lu Huaming had not thought of a good way and was trying to delay it.
"Hehe, since Jinshan Temple does not welcome us, Brother Lu, let's go first." Shen Luo patted Lu Huaming's shoulder, got up and said.
"Brother Shen, you …" Lu Huaming was stunned.
Shen Luo's lips moved slightly as he transmitted a sentence, and pulled Lu Huaming outside.
Lu Huaming's eyes flickered, but he did not resist. He followed Shen Luo outside, and the two quickly left Jinshan Temple.
Monk Hui Ming and the others saw that they had really left, so they did not continue to follow.
"Brother Shen, what do you mean by what you said just now, are we really going to leave like this? How are we going to explain to Master and Imperial Preceptor Yuan? "Lu Huaming immediately asked as soon as they left Jinshan Temple.
"We naturally can't leave." Shen Luo shook his head.
"What else can we do? They won't let us enter Jinshan Temple, how can we invite Master Jiangliu?" Lu Huaming said in annoyance.
"If they won't let us in, then we'll sneak in at night." Shen Luo laughed.
"Sneak in at night? This is the Jinshan Temple. As you can see, there are many masters in the temple. Are you sure? "Lu Huaming asked in a low voice with a surprised look on his face.
In fact, this thought had also appeared in his mind, but it was too dangerous, so he didn't say it out loud.
Shen Luo's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice again.
"So that's how it is. I understand. Then, we should leave first." Lu Huaming nodded.
Shen Luo nodded and walked down the mountain.
At this moment, not all the believers in the spiritual assembly had left. There were still many outside the Jinshan Temple. They gathered in twos and threes and were all happily discussing Master Jiang Liu's wonderful words in the spiritual assembly.
"… As the saying goes, by observing all Dharmas, one can understand their essences, and by distinguishing the streams, one can find their origin. This means that by observing all Dharmas, one can understand their essence, just like how by distinguishing many rivers, one can find their common source." A gentle child's voice came from the crowd.
Shen Luo immediately stopped in his tracks when he heard this voice.
"This voice, is it that Chan 'er?" Lu Huaming also stopped and looked at the crowd not far away.
The two of them exchanged a look and squeezed in.
On the ground in the middle of the crowd sat a little monk in a gray robe. He looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. His eyes were unusually clear and bright, making people feel calm just by looking at them.
"So that's what it means. Little Master Chan 'er's understanding of Buddhism is really thorough. I'm slow-witted. Although Master Jiang Liu's speech was very simple, I still couldn't understand it. I'm really ashamed, thanks to Little Master Chan' er's guidance." A woman in a green robe next to him suddenly understood and thanked the gray-robed little monk.
"You're too polite. The purpose of us Buddhist disciples' speech is to benefit the world. If there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask this little monk." The gray-robed little monk put his palms together and said.
"Little Master Chan 'er, in the' Three Dharmas Theory 'that Master Jiang Liu spoke at the end of his speech, what does it mean to say,' Dirty habits condense into lifelessness, and weariness ends in deification '?" Another believer asked.
"The meaning of this sentence is that dirty habits disappear in the true nature of immortality, and the weariness of the body ends in a magical change." The gray-robed little monk replied without hesitation.
Seeing this situation, the other believers asked questions one after another. Although this gray-robed little monk was young, his understanding of Buddhism was very deep. His explanation was also very simple and easy to understand. Every believer who asked a question got a satisfactory answer.
"Jinshan Temple is really worthy of being the Buddhist holy land that taught Golden Cicada. Not only Master Jiang Liu, but this little monk Chan 'er is also very good." Shen Luo revealed a surprised look on his face as he thought to himself.
After a long time, the surrounding believers dispersed, leaving only Shen Luo and the gray-robed little monk.
"Is there anything you can't understand about Buddhism?" the little monk asked after he bowed to the two of them.
"I don't have any difficulties. I just saw Little Master Chan 'er's profound understanding of Buddhism. I was deeply impressed. So, I stopped to listen." Shen Luo returned the greeting and said with a smile.
"I'm just an ordinary monk of Jinshan Temple. I don't dare to accept such praise." Chan 'er hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly.
"Little Master Chan 'er, you really have the demeanor of a modest gentleman. I heard that you grew up with Master Jiang Liu. Is that true?" Shen Luo asked with a smile.
"Yes, I grew up with Jiang Liu in Jinshan Temple." The little monk Chan 'er nodded.
"You should know very well about Jiang Liu. Do you know why he is unwilling to go to Chang 'an to purify the resentful spirits there?" Shen Luo asked.
The reason he stopped here was to inquire about this matter.
"How do you know this? Ah, you are the two benefactors from Chang 'an City. Many people in Chang' an City unfortunately died? "Chan 'er jumped up from the ground and asked anxiously.
"Yes, now the city is surrounded by Yin Qi. I don't know how many resentful spirits are unwilling to go to the afterlife." Shen Luo sighed.
Chan 'er looked sorrowful and recited the name of Buddha.
"Little Master Chan 'er, you haven't answered my question. Do you know why Jiang Liu is unwilling to go to Chang' an?" Shen Luo asked again.
"Well …" Chan 'er looked hesitant.
"Little Master Chan 'er, you know! Now there are countless resentful spirits in Chang 'an City who are reluctant to go to the mortal world. If you can't purify them, I'm afraid it will cause chaos. "Shen Luo opened his eyes wide and squatted down to plead.
Hearing this, Lu Huaming's eyes lit up and he stared at Chan 'er.
"Even so, I promised Jiang Liu that I wouldn't tell anyone. Please forgive me." Chan 'er shook his head and said firmly.
Hearing this, both of them frowned.
"As the Buddha says, if I don't go to hell, who will? Little Master Chan 'er, do you think your personal reputation is more important than purifying the countless resentful spirits in Chang' an City?" Shen Luo asked seriously.
"Well … of course, purifying the resentful spirits is more important." Chan 'er scratched his head and said.
