Mount Meru, Tian Yin Temple.
The precipitous mountain path meandered and stretched out between the mountains, like in the past, under the warm sunshine, it was still crowded, numerous devout believers walking towards the temple, to pay their respects and worship the deity in their hearts. Tian Yin Temple monks were scattered all around, receiving the commoners who came up, at some dangerous places on the cliffs, usually a few monks stood there just in case, at the same time the reception monks were at the mountain gate with a smile on their faces welcoming the people coming and going, a peaceful scene.
Tian Yin Temple abbot Pu Hong Master's disciple FaXiang, right now was also standing behind the mountain gate, watching the people coming and going. With his status of cultivation, he already did not need to do these homework but he was kind hearted, often when he saw his fellow sect monks were busy because of the crowd, he would come over to help, this day was also the same.
But on this day, he seemed to be in a trance and uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Looking at the pious faces that flashed in front of him, he just put his palms together and chanted "Amitabha" with his head lowered, until a figure suddenly walked out from the crowd and stood in front of him.
FaXiang looked up and was immediately stunned, clearly he did not expect to see this person before him, following which a smile appeared on his face, said, "We meet again, patron."
The person was Ghost Li, he was dressed in a grey long robe, standing among the commoners who came to pay their respects, he seemed inconspicuous, the only thing that stood out, was probably that active grey monkey beside him.
Ghost Li looked somewhat haggard, although he was not in low spirits but he did not seem to be in high spirits, he only smiled at FaXiang and said, "FaXiang senior brother, I will have to trouble you to inform, I have some matters to attend to and wish to pay a visit to Master Pu Hong."
FaXiang smiled and said, "Zhang patron don't worry, teacher has already instructed that day, as long as you are here, no matter when or where, he will meet you, please follow me."
After speaking, FaXiang walked first, Ghost Li quietly followed behind him, along the way, Tian Yin Temple was filled with palaces, incense wafting in the air, not to mention it was filled with human figures, shoulder to shoulder. Both of them walked for a while, Ghost Li suddenly said to FaXiang, "FaXiang senior brother, you say above Qing Tian, is there really deities?"
FaXiang was silent for a moment, said, "Patron, from my Buddhist point of view, deities are everywhere in the world but the most important, is still in each person's heart."
Ghost Li's face was indifferent, looked at the people around, quietly said, "I do not understand."
FaXiang quietly said, "Almsgiver's life is full of ups and downs, the trials and tribulations are difficult. From what I see, if you wish to find liberation, the most important thing is to 'see through' these two words in your heart."
Ghost Li was silent for a long time, did not speak, FaXiang also did not speak. Ghost Li did not speak for a long time, FaXiang did not speak.
Outside the meditation room, FaXiang nodded to Ghost Li, Ghost Li understood and stopped, FaXiang lightly knocked a few times on the door, said, "Teacher, it is disciple FaXiang, today Ghost Li patron has come up the mountain and is here to visit."
PuHong Master's deep and gentle voice was heard in the meditation room, said, "Invite Ghost Li patron in."
FaXiang gently pushed open the door, took a step back, stretched out his arm to Ghost Li, quietly said, "Patron please."
Ghost Li nodded, walked into the meditation room, FaXiang followed behind him and casually closed the door. Puhong Master was meditating on the couch as usual, seeing Ghost Li, a kind smile appeared on his face, placed his palms together and said, "You are here, patron."
Ghost Li was rather respectful towards this Puhong Master, he did not dare to slight him, bowed deeply, said, "Disciple has disturbed you."
Puhong Master shook his head, smiled and said, "I have said it long ago, Tian Yin Temple's doors are open to you, you can come anytime, furthermore you are here, I am very happy, I wonder if you have anything for me?"
Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, looked up at PuHong Master, said, "Not to hide from master, disciple coming here this time, is indeed because I have something to ask master."
PuHong Master said, "Patron please speak your mind."
Ghost Li wanted to speak but hesitated, seemed to find it difficult to speak but eventually still said, "May I ask master, in your temple, is there a treasure called 'Qian Kun Reincarnation Plate'?"
PuHong Master was surprised, FaXiang who was standing beside him also revealed a surprised expression, both of them looked at each other and then PuHong Master nodded his head, said, "That's right, our temple does have such a thing."
Ghost Li immediately became alert, PuHong Master saw his expression, his brows slightly frowned again, said, "May I ask Ghost Li patron, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, said, "Speaking of disciple's situation, both of you also know, ten years ago at Qing Yun Hill, disciple had a friend who was seriously injured because of disciple, until now she is still unconscious."
PuHong Master placed his palms together, said, "BiYao miss is a person who values friendship and loyalty, old monk also greatly admires her."
Ghost Li said, "For the past ten years, I have travelled to the ends of the earth only to save BiYao but Heaven does not follow my wishes, until now there is still no progress." Speaking till here, although his expression did not change but the sadness in his eyes, could no longer be concealed. Ghost Li was silent for a while, looked up at PuHong Master, said, "Not to hide from master, disciple's visit this time, is because a few days ago, disciple heard a senior's words, said that Tian Yin Temple has an unfathomable treasure 'Qian Kun Reincarnation Plate', it has the ability to turn Yin and Yang, stabilise the soul, maybe there is some hope to save BiYao, therefore I shamelessly came, hope master is benevolent, lend this treasure to disciple, once it is used up, disciple will definitely return it personally."
Speaking till the end, Ghost Li's lips trembled slightly, clearly agitated, his expression changed a few times, seemed hesitant but then he took two steps forward, both hands clenched tightly, slowly knelt down in front of PuHong Master.
PuHong Master was shocked, quickly stretched out his hand, anxiously said, "Patron must not be like this, quickly get up."
FaXiang had already stepped forward to support Ghost Li, helped him up. PuHong Master watched Ghost Li for a long time, his face was still benevolent but his eyes seemed to be drifting, obviously this treasure to him was not trivial, for a moment he could not make a decision.
After another moment, PuHong Master slowly placed his palms together, said, "Patron, old monk has a question to ask."
Ghost Li immediately said, "Master please speak."
PuHong Master's face looked solemn, said, "The matter of 'Qian Kun Reincarnation Plate' in Tian Yin Temple, other than my few senior and junior brothers in our temple, only my disciple FaXiang knows about it, this matter is rather secretive, I wonder which senior that patron mentioned to tell you about this matter, which expert is it?"
Ghost Li was stunned, for a moment could not speak, after a long silence, he quietly said, "Master please forgive me, it is not that disciple intentionally hid it, it is that when that senior told disciple about this matter, he specially instructed disciple not to reveal his identity, so …" towards the end, his voice gradually became softer, disappointment, anxiety indistinctly surfaced on his face, evidently he was also struggling fiercely in his heart but in the end he did not say anything more.
PuHong Master frowned, did not speak, lowered his head in contemplation. Ghost Li saw PuHong Master's expression, his heart was even more anxious, before he came to Tian Yin Temple he had indeed thought about this unheard of treasure, if it really had such ability, then naturally it would be an exceptional treasure, Tian Yin Temple treasuring it was natural, just that looking at PuHong Master and the rest's reactions, they did not seem to have any intention to reject but unexpectedly they seemed to be very concerned about the source of Ghost Li's information.
Ghost Li naturally heard this information from Zhou YiXian on the ancient path outside HeYang City, the longer he knew Zhou YiXian, the more he felt this Jianghu fortune-teller who seemed to be full of nonsense to swindle money, was actually an unfathomable and profound master, just that after Zhou YiXian told him this information, he repeatedly exhorted him not to reveal his identity.
Right now Ghost Li's heart was like a few hot blood rushing against each other, on one side it was the promise to Zhou YiXian, on the other side it was the more important long ten years of long-cherished wish, for BiYao even if there was only a tiny bit of hope, he was really willing to give up anything to pursue, right now he was in a dilemma, for a moment he was in agony.
Luckily at this moment, PuHong Master suddenly heaved a long sigh, said, "Forget it, no matter who it is that told you, you after all have a predestined fate with PuZhi junior brother, and speaking of which, this treasure is also PuZhi junior brother he …" PuHong Master suddenly laughed bitterly, stopped talking, stood up from the couch, looked at Ghost Li and placed his palms together, said, "Patron, please follow me, I will bring you to see someone."
