If a good person dies like a lamp going out, will you be reincarnated?

Chapter 227 How can the Buddha's land allow recklessness? (Two-in-one subscription required)
Of course, soon Xu Lei lost the sense of his own fairy again.

Because the appearance of its evil aura was vague and disappeared very quickly.

Xu Lei guessed that it was probably because the demon had used its magical powers in the temple before that Xu Lei was able to sense it.

But now it has stopped.

So it can’t be sensed.

Xu Lei was not in a hurry either. After all, he had a long life span now.

Under normal circumstances, as long as it is not killed by someone, it can live for three hundred years.

What's more, he can practice martial arts this time. The two combined will make his lifespan even longer in the future. If he can become a martial saint, it is possible that his natural lifespan can reach 600 years.

The natural lifespan reached 600 years, which was a very good improvement. After all, at the beginning, Xu Lei had the normal lifespan of an ordinary person.

Although there were ten thousand lives at that time, the total lifespan was actually only a few hundred thousand years.

But now, if one can become a Martial Saint in this lifetime, with more than nine thousand lives added together, one can have a lifespan of several million years.

Therefore, since we have so much life left in our lives, we can take our time in doing many things and there is no need to be too hasty.

So Xu Lei just walked in slowly.

"Amitabha, what can I do for you, little donor?"

At this time, a young monk came out to greet Xu Lei.

"I've met the master."

Xu Lei also said respectfully: "The boy wants to become a monk..."

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Xu Lei lived in this temple for a year.

Of course, he successfully became a monk here, although at first, because of his young age, the temple was not in a hurry to accept him.

However, after Xu Lei explained that he had no preparations at home and took out some gold and silver, the temple quickly accepted Xu Lei.

After all, now that we have entered the ancient immortal martial arts era, cultivators cannot achieve a very high status.

Except for powerful cultivators who have ascended to heaven before, such as Xu Lei, Jue Xuan, Sheng Zhu, Guan Yun Bodhisattva and others, it is difficult for other ordinary cultivators to kill the Martial Saint.

Naturally, there was no way to seize a higher social status, so today's temples have been paying taxes to the court.

It is not like the Taoism and Buddhism in ancient times in the history of the earth, nor is it like the Taoism and Buddhism in the previous era of this world, which do not have to pay taxes at all.

When there was no need to pay taxes, all the incense offerings from the people were income, and all the land was assets. At that time, Taoism and Buddhism were actually quite wealthy.

At that time, some temples and Taoist temples were still relatively noble.

Although in fact, at that time, most Taoist temples and Buddhist temples were also constantly making money.

But at least at that time, Taoism and Buddhism were actually more confident.

But now that they have to pay taxes, the profits from Taoism and Buddhism have actually become less.

Even the income from incense offerings at Taoist temples and Buddhist temples will be checked by government officials to see if you have evaded taxes.

So relatively speaking, the living environment of Taoism and Buddhism is not as good as it was in the previous era.

Therefore, more money is needed.

Therefore, seeing Xu Lei's generosity, they didn't care so much.

If you want to stay in the temple, you can stay there.

Giving you a disciple status is no big deal.

You can even provide them with delicious food and drink.

Of course, the temple still has the reputation of being a Buddhist holy place.

In the temple, you can only eat vegetarian food.

It is impossible to give you delicious food.

Anyway, some vegetarian meals don’t cost much.

Moreover, when you become a monk in a temple, they can ask you to help with some chores on a regular basis, under the pretext of exercising your body and tempering your Buddhist heart.

Anyway, Buddhism will never be a loss.

Moreover, many people who come to become monks often have their own reasons.

Some people actually regard temples and Taoist temples as a safe haven. These people are losers in social competition.

Some failed in their careers, some failed in their relationships, but they were all persistent people.

Living in temples and Taoist temples is to seek psychological comfort.

This is also one of the reasons why Taoism and Buddhism can still survive today.

This is their most valuable social role now.

The dynasty also hopes that Taoism and Buddhism can give people some place to place their faith.

When people feel desperate, such as when they encounter setbacks in life, they can worship God or pray to Buddha.

The only difference is that Taoism and Buddhism in this era are still under the jurisdiction of the government.

Anyway, the Buddhist temples nowadays are relatively more materialistic.

If you have money, you are basically the boss.

For example, after Xu Lei took out some money, he actually lived quite comfortably in the temple.

They are not usually assigned to do hard and dirty work.

At most, I would occasionally sweep the ground and fallen leaves in the square in front of the temple.

Or fetching water or something like that.

However, for Xu Lei, who practiced ancient immortal martial arts, this little job is certainly no problem.

However, Xu Lei has not yet discovered this demon in the temple.

Because since the day I came here that year, apart from having some sense, I have occasionally felt something vaguely in the past year, but it soon disappeared.

So Xu Lei couldn't tell which one was the goblin. The only thing he could be sure of was that the goblin was indeed in the temple.

Xu Lei guessed that it should be a monk in the temple, but he couldn't tell who it was at the moment.

Xu Lei did not try hard to search, but just practiced his martial arts every day. At night, he quietly practiced Taoism in his room to accumulate some magic power.

Of course, most of Xu Lei’s energy now is actually spent on practicing martial arts.

Hence this day.

in the afternoon.

Xu Lei was practicing martial arts in the temple square. He was practicing his punches and kicks amid the flying leaves. At the same time, the eight soul points in his body were constantly responding and coordinating with every movement.

The soul chakras in the eight soul positions, including the soles of the feet, between the legs, at the navel, in the middle of the chest, above the throat, between the eyebrows, and on the top of the head, are all rotating, absorbing energy from the air and converting it into soul power, which then flows through the meridians throughout the body.

With the constant changes in the eight soul positions and the different flows of soul power, Xu Lei's figure is sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and his punches are sometimes fast and sometimes powerful.

"Junior Brother Benzhen, let's have a fight." At this time, a young monk suddenly rushed out from the side, and directly displayed his martial arts, taking a step forward and diving, swinging his fist to attack Xu Lei.

That’s right, Xu Lei is now in the temple, chanting the Buddha’s name.

He now belongs to this generation.

And this young monk was the one who received Xu Lei a year ago.

Nowadays, most monks in temples have practiced some martial arts.

When we have nothing to do, we also learn from each other.

"Brother Benchun, you are launching a sneak attack."

Xu Lei also spoke at this time, but at the same time, he stepped on the ground, his heroic spirit circulated, thrust burst out, and his body moved sideways, avoiding the attack of the young monk.

Ben Chun continued to attack, but Xu Lei's figure was graceful, and he walked away with his feet leisurely.

"Junior Brother Benzhen, your martial arts skills have improved again."

This surprised Ben Chun, "Have you reached the state of finger-severance?"

"Yes, my cultivation has reached a higher level."

Seeing Ben Chun stop, Xu Lei also stopped and said with a smile: "I was practicing and suddenly I had a breakthrough. It happened today. This morning."

"I hope I can be better than you."

Ben Chun smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I won't be able to bully you in the future. It took me twenty years to cultivate to the level of finger-severing. I didn't expect that you have already cultivated to this level at the age of six. Your body movements are also well cultivated, and your understanding of martial arts is indeed strong. Unfortunately, you only have a five-pattern talent. After all, like me, your upper limit is limited. In the future, you can only cultivate to a master."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Xu Lei also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After all, the talent of Gu Xianwu is innate, it's all fate. It's good enough to become a master. If I can become a master, I will be satisfied."

After chatting for a few words, Ben Chun turned and left to do his other things.

"It took another year of training to reach the level of Broken Palm."

Xu Lei looked at Ben Chun's figure and thought to himself, "Next, it's the broken elbow realm, and then the broken arm realm, which is the innate realm. If everything goes well, I should be able to reach the innate realm around the age of ten. However, I still have to keep a low profile to avoid causing some trouble."

That’s right, now Xu Lei disguised himself as a person with five-line talent. He used his magic power to set up some disguises inside his body, so that the people in the temple and the people in the yamen could detect it and the result was that he had five-line talent.

And now Xu Lei has actually reached the state of broken palm. His courage has made the entire palm undergo a transformation at a life level.

All the cells in the palms, including the bones, have been cleansed and sublimated by the courage.

It mainly requires courage to figure out the entire structure of the cells in the palm of your hand and to reorganize them.

Now, even if the palm is cut off, I can use my courage to reorganize a palm, and then grow it back little by little through vitality.

However, Xu Lei did not show all of his skills to the outside world.

Because now that he has demonstrated the state of severed fingers, he has actually shown to be quite a genius in his comprehension.

Because of this, the temple trained Xu Lei as a martial monk and he was treated well in normal times.

After practicing martial arts and feeling tired, Xu Lei found an excuse to go down the mountain.

He was not doing anything but adjusting his face with a human skin mask, and then often went to restaurants to eat and drink. The reason why he stayed in the temple was just to keep a low profile and not live in the spotlight of others like before.

But Xu Lei would naturally not let himself down, and he would eat a lot every day.

Nothing special happened in the city. After Xu Lei had eaten and drunk his fill, he went back to the temple.

As for the current affairs of the Dakang royal family, Xu Lei was too lazy to care about it. The country as a whole was not in chaos and no one came here to kill people indiscriminately. It was enough for him to practice martial arts in the temple with peace of mind.

As for whether those Martial Saints were secretly persecuting other Martial Saint potentials, Xu Lei didn't care.

Anyway, he has hidden himself now, so even if those people want to harm him, they can't.

However, what Xu Lei did not expect was that on this day, when Xu Lei returned to the temple, he suddenly sensed the evil spirit again, just like a year ago.

"Finally made a move again?"

Xu Lei followed the direction of the evil spirit and searched all the way there.

Unexpectedly, we arrived in front of the Bu Zhong Hall in the temple.

Xu Lei was naturally very familiar with Buzhongtang. After all, he did this in his first life.

Of course, there are no three words "Bu Zhong Tang" written on Bu Zhong Tang. It is just a very ordinary temple, which houses a statue of Guanyun Bodhisattva holding a child.

Because the matter of Buzhong cannot be discussed openly, the so-called Buzhong Hall is just a name given by the monks in Buddhism.

Of course, the female donors who come for consultation, after being led here, basically understand everything very quickly.

At this time, Xu Lei saw a middle-aged strong monk receiving a young woman in her thirties.

At this moment, the middle-aged strong monk was explaining something, and the young woman's face turned red and changed.

"So he is a demon."

Xu Lei looked at the Zhuang monk from a distance, and was surprised. "I have seen him several times in the past year, but I really didn't see that."

This is Bu Zhong Tang, the current chief Zen master.

It is said that he does not practice martial arts, and usually looks like a senior monk in an ordinary temple.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a goblin.

Xu Lei did not take action directly, but turned and left. After all, it was not dark yet, and taking action directly might not have a good impact.

"It should be that these monsters are now afraid of the powerful ancient immortal warriors."

Xu Lei guessed secretly: "So they dare not do anything outrageous among the people. After all, the demonic power of these demons recovers slowly. If they are targeted by a Grand Master or a Martial Saint, they can't kill the Martial Saint. Even if they are weaker, the Grand Master can't kill them either. Of course, they can only escape or be exhausted to death. So this guy, since there are no masters in the temple, just mingled with them and became the head Zen master of Buzhong Hall. It is possible that he relies on having affairs with women to absorb the essence of these women who come to pray for children, and then use it for cultivation."

In order to verify my conjecture.

Xu Lei went down the mountain again.

Because he remembered that in the past year, he had actually noticed two female pilgrims who came to pray for children.

After all, he used to work in this field, so Xu Lei could see a lot of things and subconsciously remembered the other person's appearance. In addition, he often went to the city to eat and drink, so he once accidentally met a female pilgrim.

Therefore, Xu Lei immediately went to observe the current condition of the female pilgrim. Xu Lei found that the female pilgrim was indeed much older than before.

This female pilgrim was originally a powerful person, and her life span should have been extended to a certain extent.

She shouldn't be that old at this age, but now she looks like she is in her forties or fifties.

Eleven months ago, when she came to pray for a child, she looked like she was in her twenties or thirties.

"Am I ugly now?" At this time, the female pilgrim walked by with the child in her arms and asked a young man next to her who looked to be in his twenties or thirties.

"How could that be? Your body is damaged because of giving birth. Thank you for your hard work, ma'am." The young man said with emotion.

Now, the two people seem to be of different generations in terms of appearance.

But the relationship is still pretty good.

Xu Lei just looked at their backs silently.

Didn't talk to them.

Although Xu Lei was not involved in the whole incident.

But now he roughly understood the whole context of the matter.

This female pilgrim must have gone to the temple to pray for a child without telling her husband, so her husband thought the child was his.

This female pilgrim successfully became pregnant in the temple. She was very happy. She thought that the aging of her body was due to the loss caused by childbirth and did not know that she was actually being sucked by the goblin.

As for whose seed this child came from? Of course it couldn't be from a goblin.

Xu Lei estimated that it should belong to another human Bu Zhong Zen Master in the Bu Zhong Hall in the temple.

Since this demon was the chief Zen master, it was impossible for him to give alms to the female pilgrims alone from beginning to end.

Maybe he will absorb some essence himself, and then let other human monks make donations.

Finally he succeeded in smoking it himself.

The female pilgrim also had a child.

I thought that the physical weakness was caused by childbirth and didn't think much about it.

Naturally, there will be no trouble.

Therefore, this goblin will not be targeted by human warriors.

He was absorbing the essence happily and was very safe.

Xu Lei couldn't help but sigh that this goblin was quite smart.

Also know how to avoid risks.

This is just like some people doing business, it definitely doesn't mean they will make money from everyone.

Many smart businessmen know whose money they should not make.

That is the money of some extremely poor people, and they don't make any profit from it because these people will cause trouble once they feel that the service is a little bit bad.

"But I am human."

Afterwards, Xu Lei sighed in his heart: "I can't just stand by and watch when I encounter this."

Although this female pilgrim did not intend to cause trouble, the loss of her own lifespan was actually very serious.

Invisibly, he shortened his life by several decades.

It's actually very miserable.

But she was deceived.

I don’t know that I have actually been robbed severely.

Xu Lei did not plan to tell the female pilgrim. After all, there was no way to restore her youth now, so there was no need to let her know the cruel truth.

But Xu Lei couldn't just let this demon go and let it continue, causing more innocent people to suffer such cruelty.

Of course, Xu Lei didn't want to take action just for the sake of justice.

Of course, he also wanted to refine this monster so that he could have more magical power.

It also saves me from the hard work of practicing and accumulating year after year.

In addition, most of my accumulated energy is now used to practice martial arts, so I actually have relatively little time to practice martial arts every day.

With the amount of magic power he accumulates through daily cultivation, if he wants to launch a strike that can kill a Martial Saint, more than thirty years will not be enough. It may take forty or fifty years.

After all, the amount of practice per day has been reduced.

But now with this monster, Xu Lei feels that he can make up for it.

Of course, after Xu Lei returned to the temple, he did not take any direct action.

Instead, he lurks quietly and lives his life as usual.

Until three days later.

Xu Lei took action only when the monster went out.

And Xu Lei didn't waste any words, and didn't even show his face. He just activated the lotus pieces from a distance, only using six of them, to form a small lotus diamond, and then launched a direct sneak attack.

Whistling, piercing through.

He stabbed the goblin right through.

Revealed the prototype.

It turned out to be a donkey monster.

No wonder you practice in this way.

"you!"

When Xu Lei stepped on a piece of lotus and flew over to collect the demon's inner elixir, the donkey demon was not dead yet and still had its last breath. It stared at Xu Lei in disbelief with its donkey eyes wide open. Obviously, he recognized that Xu Lei was the little monk who had a little talent for martial arts in the temple.

It simply couldn't understand how a young monk with a talent for martial arts could have such magical powers that he could kill it with one blow.

"You are too arrogant to cause trouble in the holy land of Buddhism, monster." Xu Lei just said lightly.

That afternoon, Xu Lei stewed the donkey monster's corpse.

After Xu Lei had eaten and drunk his fill, he returned to the temple at night.

I saw the female pilgrim who had come to consult before, taking advantage of the night to pray for a child.

When some monks in Buzhong Hall saw that the Zen master in charge was missing, they were a little confused at first, but they were able to come over later.

Three young and strong Zen masters, named Bu Zhong, were sent to give alms to the female pilgrim.

Xu Lei made a brief investigation and confirmed that the three young Bu Zhong Zen masters were all human beings, so he did not care about them any more.

Leaving the three female pilgrims to do as they pleased, Xu Lei yawned and went back to his room.

Of course, after closing the door, Xu Lei came to the cushion, sat cross-legged, and took out the donkey demon's inner elixir that he had obtained today from the Qiankun cloth bag.

"The energy of this inner elixir is quite powerful. It's better than I expected." In the room, illuminated by the dim candlelight, Xu Lei's still angular and tender little face showed a bright smile.
