Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 9 Dragon Phoenix Golden Ring
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

Meng Yuan flicked his sleeves hastily, not daring to take more. There were originally nine pills, but he took three pills.

Two little boys walked in, looked at the six elixirs in the elixir furnace and cheered: "Happy event, happy event! The master of the fourth-grade Divine Will Pill has finally made it. If there are brothers in the sect who have cultivated Yuanying, there is no need to go there. The other gods are asking for this elixir."

"Put it away quickly, don't lose the medicinal properties."

Meng Yuan was overjoyed with the fourth-grade elixir. This was the elixir needed for cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm. He even packed up and sold the small Dharma Temple and couldn't afford even one pill.

Then he quietly left the alchemy room.

He is not greedy either. There are many pills on the shelf, but he is afraid that it will be bad if there is some trap.

If it is silent and does not alarm others, what is the difference between this heavenly palace in the Buddha's kingdom and one's own treasure house?

Take some today, and some tomorrow, even the leftovers are enough for your own food and clothing, so don't be greedy.

Just when he was about to leave, he passed by another treasure hall, the brilliance of which was really provocative.

"Just take a look."

Still entered quietly, without alarming a single person.

Compared with the Alchemy Palace, this hall is full, with many weapons and magic weapons scattered on the shelves. It is obvious that this is an arsenal.

It is said in the Lotus Heart Sutra that if you want to cultivate the Dao, you must have the art of protecting the Dao, and you must also have the weapon to protect the Dao. The power of the magic weapon is most of the time the weight that determines the balance of victory and defeat.

Meng Yuan looked at the many magic treasures with eyes full of light. He had little knowledge and didn't know what grade these magic treasures were. Naturally, he didn't dare to take the ones placed in the middle. Besides, he was going to play the role of a Bodhisattva and practice the lotus degree. Evil Heart Sutra, such sharp weapons as swords should be used as little as possible.

Suddenly, Meng Yuan saw a pair of golden rings placed in the corner. They were golden and pleasant to look at. They were engraved with dragon and phoenix emblems and were set together.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the pair of gold rings, and with a whoosh, unexpectedly the two gold rings separated and clicked on his left and right wrists.

"This, is this considered the spiritual soldier's acknowledgment of the master?" Meng Yuan was slightly surprised.

Sure enough, a piece of information immediately fell into his mind.

The dragon and phoenix golden rings are top-grade spiritual weapons. They emit golden light as fast as thunder and can stretch and shrink as desired. The dragon ring avoids water and dives into rivers, and the phoenix ring bathes in fire and swims in purgatory.

"Hey, what a baby! What a baby!"

Meng Yuan was overjoyed. This dragon and phoenix golden ring could bind people, and it could also avoid water and fire. It was an excellent magic weapon for him to protect himself.

Immediately dare not be greedy anymore, leave quickly, and only when you are in your pocket can you be safe.

In the room, Meng Yuan opened his eyes.

Then he lifted up both sleeves of his robe, and sure enough there were two golden rings around his wrists. He then touched his chest and took out a jade bottle, which contained the fourth-grade elixir Shenyi Dan.

As expected, a horse cannot gain weight without a night of grass, and a man cannot become rich without a windfall. But in one night, he became richer than the entire Little Dharma Temple.

It's just that these two things are invisible to people, so you need to be cautious.

Fortunately, with this dragon and phoenix golden ring to protect him, although his cultivation level is still low, he has one more trump card. Being unexpected in times of crisis can save his life.

"Miao Le once said that a Buddha is a Buddha, and there is only one Buddha. Could it be this Golden Light Buddha?" Meng Yuan recalled a name mentioned by the two terrifying monks in that day's palace.

"No, no, the owner of the Buddha Kingdom was invited by him to listen to the Tao. He is also a person with a high cultivation level. Why is there a Buddha? Brother Miao Le has never known."

There are only three or four people in the small Dharma temple, and the old monk's cultivation is not very high. What he said cannot be relied upon.

Meng Yuan had experienced the era of the information explosion in his previous life, so he naturally knew that information cocoons could see and hear different things at different levels.

Then he stopped thinking about it and began to use his spiritual power to warm up the dragon and phoenix golden rings.

Tomorrow, it is best to learn from the master about the magic treasures, elixir, and spiritual materials in practice, otherwise he will go to the treasure mountain every time in the future without knowing the treasures, which will be really difficult.

Having obtained these two treasures tonight, I felt restless and couldn't sleep, so I stopped thinking about it and began to use my spiritual power to warm the dragon and phoenix gold ring.

At this moment, Meng Yuan suddenly heard a noise from outside.

But he was too lazy to look at it, and he didn't want to care about it. Since last night, the danger level of the small Dharma Temple may have increased sharply, so it's better not to be too curious.

As the dawn broke in the sky, Meng Yuan also warmed up the magic weapon in the middle of the night, and now the connection with the dragon and phoenix golden ring is even closer.

Arriving in the yard, Meng Yuan found that his senior brother had gotten up and was cleaning the yard.

"Eldest brother, let me do this kind of thing in the future."

Speaking of which, among the people in the temple, the eldest brother is the youngest, but he does almost the most work. He is not only responsible for three meals a day, but also carries water, chops firewood, sweeps the floor, and grows vegetables. He is really a model worker.

After taking the broom, Miao Yan did not refuse, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Meng Yuan scanned the yard while observing the surroundings. The noise last night came from near the main hall. Under the subtle insight of his eyes, a very faint charred mark appeared in his eyes.

It was a footprint, but its width and length didn't look human, right?
"Bang bang!" Suddenly, the door at the courtyard door rang.

Meng Yuan hurriedly went to open it and saw a middle-aged woman supporting an old woman who was knocking hard on the door. A bald head came into view.

Hey, this monk is quite unfamiliar, but he is so good-looking!The middle-aged woman's heart moved.

Meng Yuan asked, "I don't know what you two believers have to do?"

In fact, monks generally do not ask others to give alms, unless that person gives alms, or wandering monks come to ask for alms, except for other people who give alms have a feeling of forced buying and selling, such as:
Donor, this thing is destined for me...

Seeing that these two people were determined to have little money to donate, and the Xiaofa Temple was not open to the public, as the saying goes, visitors are guests, so Meng Yuan also led the two of them to the living room to rest.

"Little Master, I wonder if Master Huiming is here?" the middle-aged woman asked.

"The master is here, wait for me to go and call him."

Then he went to the old monk's Zen room and called people over.

When the woman saw the real master, she immediately knelt down, tears pouring out of her nose.

"Master, save our village!"

The old monk hurriedly helped her up and asked what happened.

After the middle-aged woman's narration, the master and the apprentice knew what happened. Last night, more than ten people died in the Narcissus Village where the middle-aged woman lived.

And the old nanny was the only person who saw the evil spirit last night.

"Oh, that thing almost scared me to death. It's so evil, as black as carbon, and the black and green claws can easily scratch the door panel. My wife is chewing on it..."

The old monk's face was solemn, and even Meng Yuan trembled a little when he heard it.

"Miaoyan, you stay in the temple, Miao Le, Miao Evil, you two will accompany the teacher to remove the demon." The old monk made an arrangement.

"Yes, Master."
