368 Handsome people can’t look in the mirror
In the quiet temple, the door was tightly shut.
There were a few light muslin veils hanging in the room, which moved without any wind.
On the futon, the handsome white-robed monk slowly opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to contain countless divine lights, and it was difficult to describe the depth of his eyes.
But on second look, he suddenly felt that he was not normal, as if he was just a monk with a gentle gaze. The spiritual aura was instantly withdrawn to who knows where.
“Master, don’t worry about me.”
He spoke slowly, his voice warm and pleasant.
“You’re right, but how can I not worry about you? If something really happened to you, who would protect the reputation of Yunfu temple? Do you want to rely on me?”
In front of him, outside a few curtains, an old monk wearing a golden Kasaya with jewels and pearls sighed, as if he was relieved.
“You’re the master of a temple. Even if the disciples are fine, don’t they all have to rely on you?” The white-robed monk’s tone was rather polite.
“Hehe.” The old monk chuckled.
These two were the two monks with the highest status in this generation of the Yunfu Pure Land. They were the abbot, Zen Master Chong Yi, and his disciple, Zen Master Yi.
Zen Master Yi Yi was naturally the famous white-robed monk, Jiang Yi Yi.
And Zen Master Chong Yi was his master. In comparison, he was not as famous. As a result, whenever people mentioned Yunfu temple, the first person they would think of was Jiang Yiyi. They would never think of who the abbot of the temple was.
In fact, the rise of the Chongyi Zen Master was all thanks to his disciples.
Back when he was in the floating cloud temple, he did not stand out at all and even seemed a little clumsy.
However, he had taken in a heaven-defying disciple.
Jiang Yi’s rise was too fast. He became the most famous monk in the Yunfu temple in his teens. Ninety-nine percent of the devotees came for him. The number of believers who gave lectures on Zen was thousands of times more than some old monks. His cultivation base also advanced at a tremendous pace.
At that time, many elders in the temple didn’t like Jiang Yiyi and ridiculed him for using his face to spread Buddhism. However, Jiang Yiyi’s strength was also heaven-defying, and no one could do anything about it.
Such a person naturally had to be promoted.
However, if he wanted to promote him, he had to promote his master first. Otherwise, he couldn’t let the disciple step on the master’s head.
If they wanted Jiang Yiyi to be a supervisor, his master would have to be a Hall Master at least. If he wanted Jiang Yiyi to become a Hall Master, his master would have to be a class leader. If he wanted Jiang Yiyi to be the class president, his master would have to be the head of the class. If he wanted Jiang Yiyi to become a Head of Department, then his master would at least have to be an elder. If they wanted Jiang Yiyi to become an elder, then his master would have to be an Abbot, Qianqian.
Wait a minute?
On the day he became the abbot, Zen Master Chong Yi was stunned.
The kind Xuanji
It was like a f * cking dream.
Many years later, someone asked the Chongyi Zen Master how he felt. The Chongyi Zen Master was still a little excited. He exhaled slowly and said softly, ”
“It’s still quite stressful. Actually, I still haven’t figured it out. I was a good supervisor, how did I become the Yunfu temple’s Abbot? There was an inexplicable feeling of it being decided. At that time, I only read two sentences, Yingluo.”
“The disciple leads the way, but the cultivation is up to the individual.”
And a few days ago, two disciples of the Jian generation secretly ran to the netherwater Valley to pick natural treasures, but one of them lost his life.
The other one came back and reported the matter.
The nether Water Valley was, after all, a dangerous place, so the temple didn’t send any other elders and let Jiang Yi go directly.
Who knew that he would return wounded after a battle with the vicious creature in the netherworld River?
This caused Zen Master Chong Yi to panic.
After waiting for two days, Jiang Yi finally finished recuperating and hurriedly came to visit the disciples.
......
“This disciple is impetuous and has made master worried.” Jiang Yi apologized again in a gentle voice.
I thought it was just an ordinary ghost in the water. I didn’t expect it to be a ghost immortal who has cultivated for many years.
“Ghost immortal?” The Chongyi Zen Master was shocked.
Just like how human cultivators could cultivate to become Immortals of the land, some ghosts could also choose to cultivate to become ghost Immortals. However, compared to the rare Immortals on earth, the ghost immortal path was a more difficult one.
It was thousands of times more difficult to achieve transcendence with an incomplete Yin being than with a human body.
Even if one were to trace back tens of thousands of years and gather all the ghost Immortals that had appeared since the beginning of the desolate Era, the number of ghost Immortals might not exceed the number on one’s hands.
and that ghost immortal probably has some background. He’s proficient in many immortal spells. With my current cultivation, I can’t subdue him. Jiang Yi continued,”but I’m fine. I’ve only been contaminated by some Yin-terminating aura.” I was worried that it would affect my future cultivation, so I went into seclusion for a few days to get rid of it. ”
“It’s good that you’re fine, Zhenzhen.” Zen Master Chong Yi nodded and said, ” as for the ghost immortal, if it doesn’t harm the people, why don’t we not provoke it for now? ”
“Master’s words are reasonable.” Jiang Yi nodded and said.
“I’ve already made a pact with that ghost immortal that I won’t gather the Masters of the human world to harass it. It can not harm another person’s life. It can only expel cultivators and ordinary people.”
“With its cultivation, it has been hiding in the Darkwater Valley all this time. I think it also wants to verify the great Dao of heaven and earth and become a true immortal. The demonic sound reverberates in the nether Water Valley, and no one will come close to it, so it’s actually quite safe.”
“But from now on, we have to be more strict with the disciples. At the same time, we have to spread the news to prevent the disciples of other sects from hurting their kasayas.”
“It’s mainly because we can’t do anything to it.” Zen Master Chong Yi frowned. we can’t deal with them even if we wanted to.
There was a moment of silence behind the curtain.
Then, a weak voice replied, ” “Indeed,”
After talking to his disciple for a while.
Zen Master Chong Yi stood up and left. Just as he walked out of Jiang Yiyi’s temple, he saw Zen Master Rong He rushing over.
“Abbot!”
...
As they were near Jiang Yiyi’s courtyard, Rong He didn’t dare to call out loudly. Even though he lowered his voice, it still conveyed a rather urgent message.
“I went to look for you just now, but you weren’t in the temple. I was just about to come and find senior brother Yi.”
“What’s wrong?”
In front of the ordinary monks, the Chongyi Zen Master displayed the composure that an Abbot should have.
Of course, it was also because his previous disciple had given him confidence.
“It’s this month’s disciple selection. There’s been a problem.”
Rong He then relayed to Zen Master Chong Yi what Jianren had told him.
“A highly skilled Daoist priest who went down to the netherworld River without any injuries has come to participate in the Yunfu temple’s disciple selection.”
After listening, Zen Master Chong Yi squinted at Rong He,
“Martial nephew Rong He, that Jianren is a junior disciple. He’s not old and his heart is unstable, so it’s normal for him to have some oversight. You’ve been meditating for more than thirty years, how can you still be so reckless? There’s an 80% chance that Jian Ren saw the wrong person, right?”
He reproached.
...
uncle-master, it’s not like that. Jianren told me that he would never mistake the little Daoist for Huahua. Rong He panicked when he was scolded by the abbot.
“Do you know about Lao Ai?” Zen Master Chong Yi lowered his voice and said slowly, ” there is a ghost immortal in the netherworld River. We couldn’t suppress him easily. We could only make a pact with him and then return with injuries.
if he can enter the netherworld River and come out unscathed, his cultivation must be above Yi, or at least not lower than Yi, right? ”
“This bi an!” Zen Master Rong He broke out in a cold sweat.
“Other than Tong Wudi and Lao Ai, I’m afraid that there are other people like him in the Dao sect who have been living in seclusion for many years. How could he come to my Yunfu temple to become a disciple? even if he is plotting something, he would have more profound methods to use his power. How could he do something like this?”
“Indeed, I’ll go back and tell Jianren to stop thinking about nonsense.” Rong He nodded.
there’s no need for that. The first round of the selection is the heart-reflecting mirror anyway. You just have to keep an eye on it.
“Jianren is still young,” the Chongyi Zen Master said,”it’s inevitable that he’ll be emotionally affected after seeing senior die so tragically in front of him. You have to guide him and comfort him, and pay attention to your tone when you speak. You can’t scold him like how I scolded you, understand?”
“It’s Yingluo.”
Rong He agreed repeatedly. Even though he felt that it was very touching for the abbot to pay so much attention to the mentality of a young disciple, he still felt that it was a good idea.
But he still wanted to say something.
Abbot, I’m also a human.
I’m also made of flesh and blood.
......
The next day.
The hundred or so disciples participating in this month’s event gathered in front of a side hall of the Yunfu temple. The sun was shining brightly on a large white square.
Among these people, there were veterans who had participated in the selection many times or even many years ago. There were also new and hot-blooded newcomers. There were also some who had ulterior motives, such as three players from Jiangnan, who claimed to be brothers who looked like their grandkids.
Occasionally, some monks of the temple could be seen passing by on both sides of the square. No matter young or old, they were all at a steady pace and had a solemn appearance, which made those believers who sincerely wanted to enter the temple to worship Buddha very excited.
If one could enter Yunfu temple, it would be equivalent to getting a stable job. The job content would be stable, the promotion path would be complete and transparent, and one would not have to worry about finding a partner.
It was so good.
This monthly selection was usually hosted by the monks of the Jian generation. But this time, for some reason, it turned out to be an eminent monk of the Rong generation, Zen Master Rong He.
After seeing him come on stage, the contestants ‘chests were raised even higher.
If he performed well enough today and was accepted as a disciple by master Rong He, he would be rich.
Monk Rong He came in front of everyone and said, ”
“Welcome to the Yunfu temple’s selection of disciples. There should be many devout believers who have participated in the selection many times, and there are also newcomers who are participating for the first time. I will explain everything to you.”
“The first stage of the sect selection is called the heart mirror. This heart-reflecting mirror is a precious magic tool of my temple. It can reflect the evil thoughts in a person’s heart. If you want to enter our temple to commit crimes or conspire against us, you can turn around and leave now. We won’t pursue the matter. If we wait for the heart mirror to reveal it, then the more severe case may be that we may have to be punished.”
The first round was not out of Li Chu’s expectations. It was nothing more than a background check to eliminate the bad guys and to ensure the purity of the organization.
Hearing the words of Zen Master Rong He, the crowd whispered to each other, but no one backed out. After all, those who were able to come here probably had some understanding of the situation and would not be dissuaded just because of these words.
After saying that.
Behind him, a small monk carried up a huge wooden platform, but it was empty.
Then, Zen Master Rong He waved his sleeve and a ray of light appeared out of thin air. It gathered on the wooden platform and formed a huge bronze mirror that was about ten feet tall. The bronze mirror was not facing the crowd but an empty direction.
Zen Master Rong He drew a red line twenty feet in front of the mirror.
“Everyone, please stand in front of this red line for the time of three breaths. Because the heart mirror has a certain level of stimulation to the soul, you should not go too far in order to avoid suffering.” Zen Master Rong He reminded.
As his voice fell, everyone began to step forward in an orderly manner to accept the test of the heart-reflecting mirror.
The first person to step forward was a young man in plain clothes. He was a little nervous as he stood in front of the red line, his throat moving.
As he heard Zen Master Rong He behind him, he shouted, why do you want to enter Yunfu temple? ”
This shout was like thunder. The people around him couldn’t hear it, but he was shocked.
Three breaths later, some moving scenes appeared on the mirror.
It seemed to be a dilapidated cold kiln. An old woman was lying in bed, and a slightly childish teenager was kowtowing in front of the bed.
“So you want to cultivate Buddhism to cure your mother’s illness.”
Zen Master Rong He nodded his head. filial, pure, above average.
A small monk wrote down his comments, and the teenager left happily.
Then, a thin middle-aged man followed. He went through the same process. The man stood in front of the red line and closed his eyes, as if he was trying to adjust his thoughts.
Then, Zen Master Rong He’s unexpected voice resounded in his mind.
He couldn’t help but shiver.
After three breaths, a large area of blurriness suddenly appeared on the heart-revealing mirror, as if some flowing snowflakes had blocked all the images.
“Hmph!” “Full of lust and evil, expelled from the sect, never to return!” Zen Master Rong He said in a bad mood.
“......”
This scene immediately scared the remaining players.
Very quickly,
It was the three brothers ‘turn.
Du Lanke blinked and took a step back. brother, I’m a little scared. You go first.
He pushed Qin zhenghu forward.
Qin Zhenhu blinked his eyes and took half a step back. ah BA ah BA.
Then, he pushed Li Chu forward.
It just so happened that the person before him had finished. Zen Master Rong He looked at Li Chu and noticed that their positions had changed slightly, but he did not care.
He had wanted Li Chu to step forward as well, so he smiled and said, ” “Come on.”
Li Chu, on the other hand, was fearless. He walked forward calmly and stood in front of the red line, facing the bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror reflected an extremely handsome face.
Li Chu frowned and shifted his gaze elsewhere.
He didn’t like to look in the mirror.
Then, Zen Master Rong He used the same tactic and said,”Why do you want to enter the Yunfu temple?”
At that moment, Li Chu actually felt a little guilty.
After all, his heart when he entered the floating cloud temple could not be considered sincere. However, on second thought, it did not matter if he was not sincere.
In any case, he and old DU’s original plan was to just run along and let Qin zhenghu enter.
With this thought, he became calm.
However, he was still a little worried that the heart-reflecting mirror would expose their plan. He turned back and glanced at the mirror.
Three breaths later.
Suddenly, he heard a crack.
Then, a series of cracking sounds could be heard.
Then, Zen Master Rong He said, ” no way? ”
Finally, Hu la-
This time, just as the copper mirror revealed a tiny bit of light, it suddenly cracked and shattered to the ground!
“Whoosh-”
The crowd was in an uproar, not knowing why such a thing had happened.
However, amidst the uproar, there was also an excited “ah BA ah BA.”
Qin Zhenhu was worried that his impure intentions would be exposed, so he was naturally happy.
Zen Master Rong He was dumbfounded. The heart-reflecting mirror had been used for hundreds of years, how could it suddenly explode? It was fine when others used it, but if it suddenly broke when he activated it, he would be questioned.
However, there was clearly no attack.
Did he see something he shouldn’t have?
He looked at Li Chu suspiciously.
At this moment, he heard old du clap his hands and shake his head.
“Aiya! My third brother’s greatest fear in life is to look into the mirror. All the mirrors in the house were shattered by him, but I didn’t expect this magic tool to be unable to escape this disaster.”
When everyone’s eyes were focused on his face, he raised his voice again and said loudly, ” “I wonder if Qianqian has ever heard of the legend of ‘beauty that explodes’?”
“Those extremely handsome people can’t look in the mirror!”
