The sound of the bell once again reverberated throughout Xumi Mountain, announcing the beginning of a new day.
The rising sun, from the eastern horizon, shone the first rays of sunlight into the world. In the early morning, there were already many people walking up the stairs to the majestic temple. Most of them held incense and candles in their hands, their faces full of piety.
Some of them even brought their children along to worship. The children were innocent, and did not feel tired on the mountain road. Many of them were running back and forth in high spirits.
The morning fog was about to disperse, lingering outside the Tian Yin Temple, and the air felt a little moist. The monks who woke up early had already finished the necessary morning lessons of the day. At this moment, they were all cleaning the courtyard, gently sweeping away the fallen leaves from last night.
The whole Tian Yin Temple, at this moment, seemed solemn and quiet, bathed in the light mountain breeze, blowing with the wind, there was a faint scent of leaves.
The sound of the bell drifted, guiding the people at the foot of the mountain, and also hovered in the temple, waking up the sleeping people.
He slowly woke up from his sleep.
For a long time, he had not slept so peacefully, woke up so peacefully. Even in his dreams, he was very peaceful, not even dreaming, just sleeping, sleeping peacefully.
It turned out that this was a feeling that made people happy.
He silently listened to the melodious sound of the bell, as if the place where the sound drifted was not the vast world outside, but his heart. He even had a feeling that the sound of the bell, was originally for him alone.
Until the sound of the bell gradually subsided, he slowly got up, opened the door and walked out. He raised his head, opened his chest, and took a deep breath.
The moist air of the mountain poured into his heart. His face, slowly showed a rare look of satisfaction, he really wanted to continue standing like this. But at this moment, a voice came from the courtyard door.
"Benefactor Zhang, are you up?"
Ghost Li turned his head and saw Fa Xiang with a smile, standing not far from the door looking at him. He nodded and said, "Good morning!"
Fa Xiang sized him up and smiled, "Benefactor, after this period of rest, the injuries on your body are mostly healed. However, as they say, once you recover from a serious illness, you will have to take care of yourself, benefactor. Mount Meru's terrain is rather high. Sooner or later, it won't be comparable to the secular world. The cold air is very heavy. Benefactor, please be careful. "
Ghost Li nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will remember it. In addition, I don't know if Abbot Puhong is free today. I hope I can pay a visit to the grandmaster and disturb him for a moment. "
Fa Xiang smiled and said, "That's good. I'm here on my master's orders to invite benefactor Zhang to meet us after breakfast."
Ghost Li was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Could it be that Master Abbot is looking for me for something?"
Fa Xiang said, "This little monk doesn't know, but I think it's because I want to ask benefactor about your injuries!"
Ghost Li pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, this one will go and pay a visit to the Abbot later."
Fa Xiang put his palms together and said, "Benefactor doesn't need to be anxious. Just now, Abbot Fang Zhang specifically instructed us not to rush benefactor. Benevolent Master is still in the Little Tianyin Temple's meditation room at the mountaintop. If Benefactor has time later, feel free to go there yourself. "
Fa Xiang smiled faintly and said, "In the Tianyin Temple, as long as Benefactor is willing, Benefactor can go to any place without any scruples."
Ghost Li's heart moved, he looked at FaXiang. FaXiang's words seemed to have a deep meaning, as if he had already regarded him as a member of the Tian Yin Temple. Perhaps, in the hearts of these Tian Yin Temple monks, he, who had once worshipped Puzhi, after all, was also a member of the Tian Yin Temple?
Fa Xiang turned and left. Ghost Li looked at his back, was silent for a moment, and then walked back to his own meditation room.
The moment he stepped on the mountaintop, Ghost Li couldn't help but slightly pause his body. For him, this was a place that made him have mixed feelings.
Under the morning sun, the Little Tianyin Temple was simply located in front of him. The low walls, the small courtyard, where were the traces of that night's thrilling?
Looking back, looking into the distance, there were faint voices coming from the Tianyin Temple. The incense was flourishing, a lively scene. Perhaps, these people who live in peace are happier?
He silently turned and walked into the Little Tianyin Temple. Soon, the unique silence shrouded him. In such a large courtyard, it seemed that only his footsteps were echoing.
When he reached the door of the meditation room, Ghost Li stopped and subconsciously looked at the back of the courtyard. The path there was blocked by the wall, but he could still see the direction that extended back. But at this time, in the last small courtyard, there was only emptiness!
It was like, a person came naked and left empty.
He knocked on the door of the meditation room. Soon, the gentle voice of Master Puhong came from the room, "Is it Benefactor Zhang, please come in!"
Ghost Li faintly answered, pushed the door and went in. At this moment, only Master Puhong was sitting cross-legged on the Zen bed, looking at Ghost Li with a smile on his face.
Ghost Li nodded to Master Puhong and said, "Great master, I heard from Fa Xiang that you are looking for me?"
Master Puhong asked, "Yes, but I heard that Benefactor Zhang also has something to discuss with me?"
Ghost Li pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, it is not a big deal. The main thing is that I have disturbed you for many days. Now that my injuries are almost healed, I dare not continue to disturb you."
Master Puhong smiled and said, "What are you saying, Benefactor Zhang."
Ghost Li shook his head and said, "That day at the foot of Mount Qing Yun, the great master has saved my life. Since then, here, the great master has helped me untie the knot in my heart. I am very grateful. But after all, I am a member of the Demon Sect. If this continues, it will hurt your temple's reputation. "
Master Puhong said seriously, "Benefactor Zhang, there is something that I don't know if I should say?"
Ghost Li said, "Please speak."
Master Puhong nodded and said, "Since it is so, forgive me for speaking frankly. Looking at Benefactor Zhang's complexion, you are definitely not an evil person. Falling into the Demon Path is fate, it is not Benefactor Zhang's fault. Moreover, Benefactor Zhang and Puzhi Shidi have such a fate, you have fate with my Buddha and Tian Yin Temple. As long as Benefactor Zhang is willing to turn back and be saved, Tian Yin Temple will do its best to protect you. Not to mention Qing Yun sect, even if the world's righteous sects come together, my temple will not be afraid. Buddha said, to save people once is a supreme merit. Since Benefactor Zhang is a person of fate, why not let go of the burden of the secular world and obtain this peace and freedom, wouldn't that be good? "
After that, he looked at Ghost Li with an earnest expression.
Ghost Li did not expect Master Puhong to say such words, for a moment he was stunned. These days in Tian Yin Temple, his state of mind was completely different from the past, it was peaceful and comfortable. With his deep heart, he very much liked this. But he was such a man, in the end there were still things that he could not let go of.
He was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, deeply bowed to Master Puhong and said, "I know that Master is sincere to me, you want to enlighten me, but I am a man of the secular world, I rise and fall with the waves, in that secular world, there are countless concerns, but I cannot let go. Master's good intentions, forgive me for not being able to accept. "
After that, he sighed, turned and walked away, but Master Puhong opened his mouth and said, "Benefactor Zhang, take care."
Ghost Li said, "Master, is there anything else?"
Master Puhong's face flashed a trace of pondering, slowly said, "Benefactor Zhang's heart is like a rock, I dare not force you, but if Benefactor Zhang is willing, my temple has a request, I hope Benefactor Zhang can fulfill it."
Ghost Li was slightly surprised, said, "What is it, Master Fangzhang can say it."
Master Puhong looked at him and said, "In the past, Junior Brother Puzhi fell into such a situation, although it was self-inflicted and unforgivable, but the root of the matter, the great evil 'Devouring Blood Bead' cannot escape responsibility. Now that Junior Brother Puzhi has passed away, but this evil thing is still on Benefactor Zhang's body, harming Young Benefactor! "
Ghost Li was silent for a moment, said, "Master means …"
Master Puhong put his hands together and said, "Young Benefactor Zhang does not have to worry, I have no other evil intentions. It is just that this Devouring Blood Bead contains a fierce evil spirit, harming others and oneself. After Junior Brother Puzhi passed away, I have been in pain for more than ten years, but I have not thought of this, and have been pitied by the Heavens, I have thought of a way to restrain the evil spirit of this Devouring Blood Bead. I wonder if Young Benefactor Zhang is willing to try? "
Ghost Li's face changed color, although the Devouring Blood Bead's power is infinite, but the evil spirit of this Devouring Blood Bead has made him suffer so much, even his temperament has gradually changed. Sometimes he would think of Puzhi's original situation, thinking of what if he was also controlled by this evil spirit, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat. But this matter naturally cannot be told to outsiders, although he was worried, he did not have a good solution. Unexpectedly, today he suddenly heard Master Puhong say such words, it hit the most worried part of his heart.
Ghost Li thought for a long time, then slowly said, "Master Fangzhang unexpectedly has such a good solution, I wonder how to deal with it?"
Master Puhong's face was solemn, said, "This method is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it is just using the power of Buddha, boundless compassion, to degrade all the evil spirits of this world. In the back mountain of my Sound of Heaven Temple there is a 'Wordless Jade Wall', it is more than seven feet high, smooth like jade, legend has it that the ancestors of Sound of Heaven Temple were enlightened under the Wordless Jade Wall, and thus created my Sound of Heaven Temple. "
Ghost Li frowned, he did not understand what this has to do with the evil spirit of the Devouring Blood Bead, only to hear Master Puhong continue, "That area is the most solemn and auspicious place in my Xumi mountain range, as long as Young Benefactor Zhang meditates there for a period of time, this old monk will lead a group of monks to form a 'Diamond Ring' array around the Jade Wall, so that the auspicious qi will flourish, perhaps it will be able to suppress the evil spirit of the Devouring Blood Bead that is eroding Young Benefactor Zhang's body."
Ghost Li's body trembled, he did not expect Master Puhong's vision to be so unique, he did not know when he saw the chaotic scene in his body. He thought for a moment, then resolutely said, "Master's kindness, this one understands. Since this is the case, this one will sit under the Wordless Jade Wall for a few days. But after this, this one will say goodbye. "
Master Puhong put his palms together, nodded, and said with a smile, "Benefactor Zhang can rest assured, our temple will not dare to stop Benefactor Zhang."
Ghost Li nodded, turned around and walked out. Master Puhong looked at his back disappearing, sighed, and said to himself, "Shidi, your spirit in heaven, you should bless this child …"
According to Pu Hong Shangren, the Wordless Jade Wall was located at the back of Xumi Mountain. Ghost Li also thought that it would be easy to find. Unexpectedly, when he had made proper preparations that day, he followed Fa Xiang and Fa Shan, who had come to lead the way, to the back of the mountain. After walking for more than an hour, he still did not see any trace of it.
Ghost Li was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. Fa Xiang, on the other hand, was attentive and thoughtful. Seeing the surprise on Ghost Li's face, he guessed something and smiled, "Benefactor Zhang, are you wondering why this wordless jade wall is so far away?"
Since Ghost Li was asked, he did not hide it, and said, "Dare I ask Shidi, where is this Wordless Jade Wall, and how did it come to be?"
Fa Xiang laughed as he walked. "It's a long story. When the Wordless Jade Wall appeared, naturally no one knows, only that a thousand years ago, when the founder of the Sound of Heaven Temple was still a monk, he wandered around, and one day, for some reason, he mistakenly entered the mountains of Xumi mountain, lost his way, and could no longer go out. In desperation, the Ancestral Master wandered around the mountain forest. It was also due to his innate affinity with Buddhism that he saw a stone wall that was as smooth as jade. At that time, the founder was already unable to endure the hunger and thirst, and was very tired, so he rested under the Jade Wall. "
Fa Xiang paused for a moment, Ghost Li could not help but ask, "Oh, then what happened?"
In front of Fa Xiang, there was a fork in the mountain path, Fa Xiang led to the left, but took Ghost Li to a downhill road, and at the same time said, "Legend has it that the founder sat under the Wordless Jade Wall for three days and three nights, and for some reason, from the initial hunger and thirst, he gradually calmed down, and entered the perfect state of Buddhism. Three days later, he actually comprehended Buddhism under the Wordless Jade Wall. In addition, legend has it that … "
Fa Xiang turned his head and gave a mysterious smile to Gui Li, saying: "It is even more rumored that it was under the wordless jade wall that the founder actually comprehended the supreme true technique of our Tian Yin Temple, the Great Brahma Prajna, thus establishing the position of the Tian Yin Temple in the world of cultivation."
Ghost Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, he felt that this legend of the founder of the Sound of Heaven Temple was really funny, there were many untruths in it, and it was somewhat absurd. Originally, he had some expectations for PuHong, but now listening to Fa Xiang's story like it was a story, it made him somewhat disheartened, and he could not help but secretly sigh.
