Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 188 Leiyun Temple

Rest overnight in Leizer County.

Early the next morning, the three of Lin Ji left the county seat and headed straight for Leiyun Mountain.

Along the way, they can meet many common people who are traveling with them.

These common people all had pious smiles on their faces, and their behaviors were full of respect.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Xiaoyan sighed a little.

"It seems that what Chu Lai said yesterday was true. If it weren't for the temple's true efficacy, the people would not be so respectful."

Hearing this, Lin Ji let out a long sigh.

Wu Nan on the side also had a strange expression.

Zhong Xiaoyan was puzzled and said, "What's the matter with you two, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Lin Ji and Wu Nan looked at each other, and it was Lin Ji who said, "What you said is the biggest mistake."

"What do you mean?"

"In the past and present, when did worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures appear? If there are eminent monks in a temple, most of them are just preaching Buddhism and persuading people to be good. There will never be any real miracles."

Zhong Xiaoyan was stunned.

If Lin Ji didn't break through this layer, she really wouldn't realize it.

But she asked again: "But if the temple itself does not manifest spirits, how can the people believe in them?"

"It depends on the mouth of the bald donkey in the temple." Lin Ji smiled lightly, and he remembered what Master Xingchi said when he was in the capital.

"When an eminent monk bid farewell to me, he said that he was going to visit the Western Buddhist Kingdom. Do you know what he said?"

"What did you say?"

"He said he was going to the west to see if the legendary Buddhist kingdom is really full of eminent monks with brilliant tongues."

As soon as Lin Ji thought of this, and then thought of the wonder of Leiyun Temple at this time, he couldn't help laughing even more.

"Think about it for yourself, why is it that you are an eminent monk with a brilliant tongue? Because he is not eloquent and can only recite sutras, he is not an eminent monk! What's the use of practicing Buddhism deeply? How can it be said that it is difficult to achieve enlightenment?"

"Amitabha, crossing one person is the Hinayana, and crossing the common people is the Mahayana!" Wu Nan said with a smile, showing no doubt that what Lin Ji was talking about at this time was his Buddhist belief.

Lin Ji nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, that's it. How many people have been deceived throughout the ages! If the eloquence is not good, how can you persuade others to follow the Buddha? If you can't persuade others to follow the Buddha, how can you be considered a Mahayana? If you don't know Mahayana Buddhism, how can you be an eminent monk? Character?"

Lin Ji paused, and bent over with a smile.

He remembered MLM.

If the MLM leader from the previous life came here, he entered Buddhism by mistake.

It may not take a few years, but a Buddha with great wisdom has to be born out of nowhere.

Let's talk about the Buddha's crossing to the east and discussing the Tao with Taoists.

The leader of the MLM, with his bald head and a monk's robe, faced many seniors from the Taoist sect, fighting with the Confucianists.

No, I can't think about it anymore.

He can no longer speculate maliciously, there are good people in Buddhism after all.

In the time it took to speak, the three of them had already arrived at the halfway up Leiyun Mountain.

The Leiyun Temple can already be seen ahead.

On Leiyun Mountain, there is mist everywhere, and on the top of the mountain, there is a faint sky hovering.

Before coming here, Lin Ji felt that the rumors about Leiyun Mountain that Chu Lai said yesterday were mostly just rumors.

But the Tianwei on the top of the mountain is not fake.

Lin Ji can draw the Thunder Sword Jue, and he is very familiar with Tianlei.

At this time, what he felt faintly was clearly the sense of oppression before the thunder was triggered.

"Interesting." Lin Ji's complexion became a little dignified.

Taking Zhong Xiaoyan and Wu Nan into Leiyun Temple together, there is a huge incense burner at the entrance.

The censer was filled with incense that was still burning, and the ash almost filled the entire censer.

Even so, people can often be seen offering incense and chanting words, most of them praying for something.

Across the censer, there are some young monks, guiding the pilgrims into the main hall.

Standing at the door of the main hall and looking inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is a golden Buddha, with a solemn appearance and a faint sense of power.

"It's not Fanpin." Lin Ji whispered.

Wu Nan clasped his palms respectfully and bowed again and again.

Afterwards, he stood up with a calm expression, no previous frivolity.

"This Buddha statue should be the one from Leiyun Temple a hundred years ago. If it is a newly cast Buddha statue, no matter how strong the incense is, it is impossible to have such merits and virtues in a few years."

Lin Ji's face moved slightly.

"How to add merit? Explain in detail?"

"Probably because the people have done too many good deeds, and the people are grateful, that's what happened." Wu Nan lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, "I can't explain the merits, but I can feel it, but I don't know how to say it."

Hearing this, Lin Ji nodded and stopped asking.

Because what Wu Nan said was also what he felt.

Lin Ji can't directly feel merit or good or evil, but what he gains in the karma book should be the so-called gift of merit.

It's just that compared to what Wu Nan said, the merits in Lin Ji's cognition are more specific.

For example, he has done many good deeds, so there are few bottlenecks in his cultivation.

If the evil people or demons are removed, the gifts obtained will even be directly transformed into cultivation bases, which only need to be refined.

Another example is that every time the karma is completed, something good will happen.

It can be as small as picking up money, or as big as enlightenment during cultivation.

They are all like gifts brought by merit, but they are more specific.

Just as Lin Ji thought about it, the young monk at the gate of the main hall finally finished his work and came in front of the three of them.

"I've seen this little master, and I've seen two benefactors." The little monk made eleven obeisances, "The three of you are here to offer incense and worship the Buddha, or..."

"Come here to see the abbot." Lin Ji bowed slightly and returned the gift.

The little monk was not surprised, instead he smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"The abbot happens to be free at this time, the three please follow me."

Lin Ji was a little surprised at how happy the little monk was.

While following the little monk, he couldn't help asking: "Little master, is the abbot of Leiyun Temple so nice to see?"

"The abbot said that all living beings are equal, there is no superiority or inferiority. If anyone wants to see him, just take him there."

The little monk paused, and said with some reverence: "There are quite a few people who want to see the abbot on weekdays. I have been a monk here for more than a year, and I have never seen the abbot refuse anyone. Sometimes the abbot is tired from seeing guests, but if there are people waiting behind Then, he will also brace himself and wait."

Hearing this, Lin Ji and Wu Nan looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.

Soon, the little monk stopped at the door of a simple wing and knocked lightly.

"Abbot, we have a visitor."

"Please come in." An old voice sounded.

After the little monk gently opened the door, he made another gesture of please, and then retreated.

Lin Ji took a deep breath, walked into the wing first, and bowed his hands.

"During the Xialin season, I met Master Chen."

Wu Nan and Zhong Xiaoyan also greeted each other after Lin Ji.

The wing room is very simple, just a wooden bed, a Buddha statue and a few futons.

There are no tables and chairs.

An old monk was sitting on the futon in the middle, looking up at Lin Ji and the others.

The moment Lin Ji looked at the old monk, his spiritual sense told him the answer.

This old monk.

It's a demon.
