The giant tree of white bones is covered with Ren Yuan Dan.
There are a few who have practiced quickly and have grown into the prototype of human yuan dolls.
I think it won't take more than a few days before I can develop my spiritual thoughts and evolve into a human doll.
But now, there is only one Ren Yuan doll on the tree, holding his fists in his hands:
"Mr. Hongdou can give you whatever you want, but Jackdaw dare not disobey!"
Li Chen was not polite and said directly: "Southern China is a new country, and the number of people is increasing day by day. Is Jackdaw willing to be the guide here?"
The Jackdaw was delighted when he heard this: "The Jackdaw is obligated to do so!"
In a few days, a new human doll will appear in the southern country.
Jackdaw can be regarded as a guide spirit for beginners.
Li Chen conveniently picked an unchanged Ren Yuan Dan from the tree and gave it to the jackdaw.
He had tasted the wonders of Ren Yuan Dan before, and was naturally overjoyed when he saw it.
"Thank you Mr. Hongdou for the reward."
"Mr. Hongdou, does he know about our Southern Xinjiang Contest?"
Li Chen nodded slightly: "Thousands of rocks are beautiful, and thousands of valleys are contending with their flow."
"It is a meeting for monks in southern Xinjiang to choose their sect."
"Mr. Hongdou, it's true that Bo Wen Qiang remembers it."
"The competition meeting is a stage for various sects in southern Xinjiang to compete for disciples."
"As long as our southern Xinjiang monks have the qualifications to practice, they will choose one to join."
"The Ghost Sect is the largest sect in southern Xinjiang and has recruited the most disciples in previous years."
"But the situation in southern Xinjiang has been changing this year. I wonder if Mr. Hongdou has any opinions?"
The jackdaw nodded slightly, but unfortunately the braid on his head was hanging on the bone tree, so his movements were a bit funny.
Li Chen muttered: "This year, things are indeed changing in Southern Xinjiang."
"As for the Ghost Cult... I'm afraid it will be unsustainable."
When Jackdaw heard this, his heart trembled slightly.
[Sure enough, the ghost sect is gone?!]
"I look at the celestial phenomena, and the stars in the southern border are very impressive. This is the sign of a great struggle."
"However, there is an undercurrent surging, and there is a sudden rise of a new army, which seems to have a lot of accumulation but little success."
"If I guessed correctly, the Sesshou Temple will be dominated by one family this time."
"Sashoji Temple? Sure enough it is!"
"But they are a temple, and not many monks like to be ordained and become monks."
Li Chen was slightly startled: Yes, who would want to be tonsured?
…
Shasheng Temple and Zen Temple.
"Killing the outer courtyard?!"
"A lay disciple?!"
Zen Master Obscure was a little surprised.
Recently, everyone has been thinking about how to recruit more disciples in the Struggle Conference.
Unexpectedly, Li Chen unexpectedly showed up.
Although Sesshou Temple has a great reputation, it has always been the one recruiting the fewest disciples in the competition tournament.
There is no other way, the competition will only face young people who are new to spiritual practice.
No one wants to become a monk.
Therefore, the number of disciples recruited was unusually few.
It was only through the Shuangyang Chan Monastery's deception in various places that it was able to attract some monks to join.
The three elders looked at each other.
"Buddha, this plan...is very clever!"
There are five major Zen monasteries in Sesshoji Temple, as well as the Forbidden Realm.
Plus the words of a lay family’s outer courtyard.
The five major Zen monasteries are equivalent to the inner gates, and the forbidden areas are still true.
"Just where to change the election?"
The obscure elder waved his hand, and the water mirror in front of him already showed a bird's-eye view of the sky above the Sasho Temple.
Outside the Shasheng Temple is the Shasheng Forest, and behind it is the Colorless Mountain.
"Are we going to open a courtyard in the Colorless Mountain?"
After Li Chen pondered for a moment, he shook his head: "The Shasheng Temple contains the inheritance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Ancestor Styx, and no one can enter except through the inner gate."
"The outer courtyard for killing animals can only be set up outside the temple."
Li Chen looked at the water mirror, pointed at a generous hilltop, and said:
"Elders, what do you think of this place?"
Strangely enough, this hilltop is extremely generous and is sandwiched between the Colorless Mountain and the Killing Forest. Few people mention it.
As a result, looking at the position pointed by Li Chen, the three elders said in unison: "No!"
"Never do it!"
Elder Huiming's face was pale, and he was slightly afraid: "Ahem, this mountain is not good."
"There is a ghost on this mountain."
"There's a ghost?!"
Seeing the doubt on Lichen's face, Elder Huique coughed lightly: "This mountain is called Muduo Mountain."
"Also called Spanking Mountain."
"As soon as you enter the mountain, you can hear the voice of an old ghost asking you to answer questions.
If you can't answer, you will be spanked."
"It's impossible to guard against it."
"Senior brother sneaked up and was beaten half to death."
Hearing this, Elder Huiming awkwardly stepped forward and pulled Hui Que away: "Junior brother, junior brother, be careful what you say."
"Ahem, to be honest, my butt does hurt."
"Hahaha."
Zen Master Hui Que gave a rare smile: "It has been said since ancient times that my disciples of Shasheng Temple are not allowed to enter, but you insist on going in. If not, who will I hit?"
Hearing this, Li Chen became interested and couldn't help asking: "Spanking? Just spanking?"
Zen Master Huiming was stunned for a moment and seemed to be recalling the scene: "It was indeed just a spanking."
"No matter how you try to stop it, you can't stop it."
"It's impossible to guard against it."
"The same goes for everyone who goes in."
Li Chen was puzzled. Could it be that the ghosts in Muduo Mountain were just like the "Dragon and Elephant Prajna Sutra" and liked to pick up dragons?
So he asked: "I wonder what questions the ghost asked?"
Zen Master Huiming smiled sarcastically: "The first time I asked about it was the Diamond Sutra."
"I was young and playful at the time, so I couldn't write a demerit."
"It was a very good beating."
"But I thought at that time that the strange thing in the mountain might be a test left by the gods. If you answer it correctly, you will definitely find an opportunity.
So while recovering from my injuries, I read hard until I memorized the entire Diamond Sutra proficiently."
"So I went up to Muduo Mountain with full confidence!
But who would have thought that this ghost did not play according to the routine, and the question this time was not about the Diamond Sutra.
It is a volume called "Legacy of the Sea of Blood."
"Legacy of the Sea of Blood" is a scripture passed down by the ancestor of Styx.
"I couldn't carry it anymore, so I got another slap."
"How can I bear this? I am so angry that I want to set fire to the mountain."
"But after I returned to Sesshoji, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became."
"Although I don't like reading, I managed to memorize "Legacy of the Blood Sea"."
sharp.
Even Li Chen couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
"Legacy of the Sea of Blood" records the scene of the blood sea of the Styx in ancient times.
There is a lot of text in it, and many places are difficult to understand.
Even Li Chen himself would never be able to memorize it if he didn't rely on "The Secret of Karmic Change."
"It turns out... grandma didn't play according to the routine."
"The ghost has changed again!"
"Lao Na received another beating."
"From then on, I never dared to go up the mountain again."
"Hahaha."
This time even the obscure Zen master laughed.
"It is recorded in the Annals of the Sashoji Temple."
"Muduo Mountain existed before the establishment of Shashou Temple."
"It's just that for thousands of years, no one has been able to crack the secret."
"Every disciple who goes up there will be beaten up."
"Buddha disciples still need to consider carefully."
Li Chen nodded, but secretly felt a pity in his heart.
This Muduo Mountain is broad and thick.
Bordering the Shasheng Forest to the north, the Colorless Mountain to the south, and close to the Shasheng Temple, it is indeed an excellent location for the Shasheng Outer Gate.
"Amitabha."
"Disciples must learn from the elders' lessons."
"Ahem."
Zen Master Huiming rubbed his butt with an embarrassed look.
It seemed like I was reminded of those ridiculous things I did when I was young.
