The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1336 King Kong's Glaring Eyes!

"I never thought that you still believe in Buddhism?"

Seeing the ancient mountain gate in front of him, Li An smiled lightly.

Under the scorching sun, there are like clouds of pilgrims.

Even though the Dragon Kingdom is a country without religious beliefs, this thousand-year-old temple standing on Qixia Mountain still clearly shows the prosperity of Buddhism.

Even though he didn't have much respect for Buddhism, but standing here at this moment, among the pious pilgrims offering incense and praying for blessings, Li An still felt a majestic and heavy aura rushing towards his face.

"Even if you don't believe that there are gods above your head, you have to be in awe. This Qixia Temple is the most famous temple in Jinling City and even in the whole south. Rest, besides, even if there are no gods and Buddhas in this world, there will be no harm in coming to worship, right?"

On a whim, Li Luoyi proposed to pay his respects at this famous thousand-year-old ancient temple, and walked towards the mountain gate.

After climbing such a long section of mountain road, her steps are still brisk.

"Hey, hurry up."

Li An followed with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't that Master Xuanwei?"

"Yes! Why is the host Xuanwei here?"

At the mountain gate, a group of monks stood with their hands folded.

All the pilgrims in the past cast surprised eyes.

One of the monks was dressed in a gorgeous cassock, which was as dazzling as the sun above his head.

It is the leading figure of Southern Buddhism, the contemporary abbot of Qixia Temple, Master Xuanwei!
Although surprised, but this is in the Buddhist gate, the pilgrims did not make loud noises to disturb the cleanliness of the Buddhist gate, they whispered and walked around a group of monks in an orderly manner, and stepped into the mountain gate.

Monks are neutral.

This scene also fell into the eyes of Li Luoyi and Li An who were gradually approaching.

It was the first time for them to come to Qixia Temple, and they were not devout Buddhists. Naturally, it was impossible for them to know that the bald monk standing in front of the mountain gate was the highly respected abbot Xuanwei. Like all pilgrims, they just looked at it curiously. I thought it was some kind of Buddhist ceremony, and I didn't bother, just like everyone else, I wanted to enter the mountain gate.

But when they were only a few steps away from the Buddhist gate, a Buddha's name sounded like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning without warning.

"Amitabha, please stop here."

He didn't name them, but Li An felt a strong feeling in his heart.

This monk in unusual clothes, the two he mentioned seem to be referring to him and Li Luoyi.

Sure enough, when he looked up, he found that the other party's gaze also penetrated the crowd, and was cast straight at him.

Or, to describe it more accurately, it fell on Li Luoyi who was beside him!

Following his chanting of the Buddha's name, all the monks recited in unison.

"Please stop, both of you."

Zhuang Su Weiyi.

Buddha is full of world!
The pilgrims in front of the mountain gate all stopped. In an instant, they felt inexplicably that their hearts were under a huge pressure, and they were so heavy that they could hardly breathe.

On the contrary, Li Luoyi was different, his face remained unchanged, like an innocent young girl in her prime, her smile was as bright as a summer flower.

"Hey, great monk, are you talking to me?"

The presiding abbot of Qixia Temple is a guest that many high-ranking officials and dignitaries cannot ask for.

No matter how rich and powerful they are, in front of this eminent monk, they all respectfully and politely ask Master Xuanwei, who dares to speak in such a frivolous and casual tone?
Those who don't know are really fearless!
"Please stop."

The benevolent and kind-hearted abbot of Qixia Temple lost the compassionate expression of the past, and his face was no longer peaceful and expressionless.

There is no doubt that Qixia Temple is so inspiring and mobilizing people this time that even the presiding abbot stands in front of the mountain gate in person. The reason is that Li Luoyi and Li An really wanted to come here on a whim.

The rest of the pilgrims tactfully stepped aside, allowing the two of them to face each other directly with a group of monks without any barriers.

Looking at the group of monks with awe-inspiring aura, Li An couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Obviously, he couldn't understand why these monks made things difficult for him and Li Luoyi alone.

"Why? Isn't your temple opened here for people to worship?"

Li Luoyi questioned as it should.

"Or, you Buddhist sect also discriminates against the tourists who go to the incense?"

"In the eyes of my Buddhism, there is no difference between people in the world. They have always been treated equally, and there is absolutely no reason to treat them differently."

Li Luoyi continued to ask: "Then why did you stop me alone? They can go in?"

She looked around and glanced at the pilgrims who didn't know what was going on.

"The Buddha crosses sentient beings, why can he cross them but not me?"

The abbot of Qixia Temple, Master Xuanwei put his palms together and said in a deep voice: "This temple is too small, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to transform the benefactor."

The voice fell to the ground, and the audience was shocked.
Qixia Temple, the head of the southern Buddhist sect, is actually a small temple?
Moreover, these words actually came from the mouth of the host abbot himself.

Li Luoyi also smiled.

"As far as I know, the prosperity of incense here is one of the best in the entire country. If all of you are small temples, where can you find a big temple?"

"Monks don't tell lies, master, you are so modest, but you have broken the precept."

Li Luoyi was eloquent, and began to fight with the abbot of Qixia Temple in public, his courage was astonishing.

Master Xuanwei is worthy of being a master of Buddhism, he was not angry at Li Luoyi's offense, but said in a low voice: "This temple does not accept benefactors, please return the benefactors."

The other party's differential treatment seemed to make Li Luoyi feel a strong sense of injustice, and his smile gradually subsided, as if he had lost his temper.

"Everyone in the world can get in, why can't I get in? You monastery, I'm still going to be able to get in today!"

She took Li An's hand, ignored the advice, and pretended to rush in.

Master Xuanwei guarded the mountain gate, majestic and motionless, clasped his hands in front of his chest, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and gave a long chant.

"Amitabha."

"Amitabha……"

"Amitabha……"

……

Under normal circumstances, the eighteen eminent monks, who live in the inner courtyard and devote themselves to practicing and studying the Dharma, who never show their faces, twirl the beads with their hands and follow the host to recite the Buddha's name together.

The voices of all the people merged into one, and the layers of ups and downs spread out, vibrating between the mountains, and then resounding through the heavens and the earth!
Charity accumulates goodness, vows to save sentient beings,
With gold and tin in his hand, he opened the gate of hell.

The jewel in the palm of your hand, the light captures the world.

In the sound of wisdom, in the clouds of auspiciousness,
For the suffering sentient beings in Jambudvipa, as a great proof of the meritorious master.

Great compassion and great wish, great sage and great mercy...

Xuanwei presided over the silent recitation of the Ksitigarbha, and the cassock on his body seemed to be more and more bright, reflecting the scorching sun in the sky!
Then, he slowly opened his eyes, the golden light in his eyes was like a torch, and he couldn't stare at him.

Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows, so he is compassionate to the six realms.

King Kong glared, so surrender the four demons!
