When Lichen heard the words, his face turned bitter: "Amitabha."
"This is such a big matter, no matter how virtuous or powerful a young monk is, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to influence the views of Leiyin Buddha."
Elder Anfeng shook his head. Although he looked old, his white eyebrows were as straight as dragon whiskers: "No, no, why should Master Lichen belittle himself?"
"For the sake of being the 'Master of Lihuang' that I personally conferred upon you today, you have driven away the remnants of the demon clan several times."
"In terms of Zen nature, Master Lichen can surpass the long-famous tantric master Ji Le Monk."
"In terms of force, Master Lichen can destroy the coming of the demon."
Hearing this, Li Chen quickly clasped his hands together and said, "Elder Chu Feng has given you too much praise."
"The main reason is that the "Mud Plow Knife Technique" that the young monk mastered by accident happened to restrain the demon."
"Hahaha."
Elder Chu Feng chuckled several times: "It's a sign of prosperity for the Buddhist disciples to be found in Shasheng Temple."
"Thinking back to two hundred years ago, it's time to avenge our shame."
It was obvious that there was something in Elder Anfeng's words, and he deliberately caused Li Chen to question: "Two hundred years ago?"
"Could it be that the Shasho Temple is closed?"
"good!"
Elder Nuifeng nodded and said slowly: "Do you know why the Shasheng Temple is closed?"
Li Chen shook his head. He had asked Zen Master Huise before, but it made Zen Master Huise sigh, and he did not reveal the truth to Li Chen after all.
At this time, Elder Chu Feng mentioned it again, and Li Chen naturally became interested.
"Do you know why the Eighth Prince chose to travel to the Western Regions and become a monk at Daleiyin Temple?"
"Why?"
"Humph, it's all because hundreds of years ago, the Great Leiyin Temple had already started planning the matter of becoming a 'Buddhist family'."
"While communicating with people in the court, I also win over Buddhist sects to strengthen myself."
"Since three hundred years ago, it has become the leader of Buddhism in the world."
"Until two hundred years ago, the Great Leiyin Temple embraced Buddhism all over the world, but only the three great hidden temples were in conflict with it. So at that time, the Great Leiyin Temple took advantage of the auspicious Dharma gathering to suppress the three great hidden temples."
"The Three Great Hidden Temples do not have the incense of the Great Leiyin Temple. Although they are weak in comparison, they have not retreated."
“The two sides engaged in a fierce debate on scriptures and martial arts, but Daleiyin Temple was well prepared and deliberately deceived the Three Great Hidden Temples.
As a result, the Three Great Hidden Temples were defeated, and later the Sasho Temple closed its doors, the Vajra Temple lived in seclusion in the desert, and there was no news from the Landa Temple."
"I think that's why the Eighth Prince chose Daleiyin Temple to become a monk. It can be said that the two hit it off."
Only then did Li Chen suddenly realize.
It turns out that this is why the three hidden temples were each hidden.
"Amitabha.
I didn’t expect this section existed.”
"At that time, Zen Master Huizhuo, the abbot of Shasheng Temple, was seriously injured. Shortly after returning to southern Xinjiang, he announced the closure of the temple and the mountains. He also closed the door to death and has not come out to this day."
Elder Chu Feng sighed: "Nowadays, the storm is surging. After hundreds of years, Daleiyin Temple is now the leader of Buddhism in the Great Zhou Dynasty and is praised by all people."
"Since Lei Yin Buddha's ambition is clear, this 'Auspicious Dharma Assembly' may not be peaceful."
As soon as these words came out, Li Chen fell into deep thought.
Indeed, as Elder Chu Feng said, what Lei Yin Buddha said about "Buddhist family" is one-sided.
I just don’t know if he really wants to beg the Buddha or if he wants to be noble.
If it is really like two hundred years ago, wouldn’t this ‘Auspicious Dharma Assembly’ become the Hongmen Banquet?
Li Chen's eyes wandered and he thought for a moment.
If that's the case, how should he deal with it?
Elder Nifeng saw this and did not say anything to disturb him. After a long time, until Li Chen raised his head again, he pronounced the Buddha's name with a smile: "Amitabha."
"Master Lichen, please follow me."
After saying that, he stood up tremblingly.
In a previous fight with 'Sha Tongtian', he was slightly injured by the demonic energy entering his body, and he still has not recovered at this time.
Li Chen stepped forward to support the other person and pushed open the door. Monk Yixiu had been waiting in the courtyard. When he saw the two coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Elder Nufeng.
"Amitabha."
"Uncle Master, your body..."
Elder Anfeng shook his head: "A handful of old bones."
He didn't explain much and asked instead: "Is the abbot awake?"
Ikkyu nodded: "Junior brother Yixin came here just now to report that the abbot had woken up a quarter of an hour ago."
"That's good, let's go to the 'Shi Monk Hall'."
"Yes~"
Monk Yixiu led the way, while Lichen, with help from Feng Feng, quickly left the Zen room, turned to the left, and arrived at the backyard of the Vajra Temple.
This is where the abbot of Kongang Temple and his true disciples live.
The ‘Shi Monk Hall’ is the residence of the abbot, Monk Nikong.
His hands were penetrated by Sha Tongtian's demonic energy, and he was currently doing exercises to heal his injuries in the main hall.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Monk Nikong stopped running his technique.
Turning around to look at Elder Chu Feng, he put his hands together and saluted: "Senior brother."
Senior brother?
It turns out that Zen Master Nifeng is also the senior brother of Abbot Nikong.
Elder Anfeng nodded: "Is the injury okay?"
Abbot Nuikong nodded: "I have already had Tongji take a look at it. All the demonic energy has been removed, leaving only a little skin injury."
"That's good, that's good."
"Thank you for your concern, senior brother, but I don't know what your instructions are for coming here?"
"This time I came here because of that tooth."
Abbot Nikong didn't say anything, but just glanced at the faces of the three people, and finally his eyes fell on Li Chen's face.
"Senior brother, do you want to try again?"
Elder Chu Feng did not nod or shake his head, but just closed his eyelids gently: "You can't miss the opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Abbot Nikong squeezed it with both hands without saying anything, and the next moment a finely carved wooden fish flew out from his body.
The wooden fish is in the shape of a dragon's head, with the words "Dragon and Eight Parts" engraved on its surface.
There is a crack in the middle, what seems to be hidden?
Abbot Nikong took out a wooden stick and tapped the wooden fish's head rhythmically a dozen times.
The next moment, the wooden fish in his hand suddenly slowly opened from the middle, like a beast with its bloody mouth open.
And in the middle of the wooden fish, there was an extremely white animal tooth lying at this moment.
At first glance, it looks like the teeth coming out of a dragon's head.
This beast's tooth is about twenty centimeters long and can fit in the palm of your hand. Its surface is shiny white, as if made of jade.
"This is..." Li Chen couldn't help but said in surprise.
Elder Chu Feng nodded: "That's right, it's the animal tooth that records the "Infinite Seal"."
After speaking, he gave the abbot a look, and the latter understood: "Master Lichen, you can meditate on the beast's teeth here, and I will protect you."
After saying that, he and the other two people each found a futon and sat on the floor.
Li Chen saw this but did not move.
On the contrary, Elder Chu Feng smiled and said: "Master Lichen, there is no need to be cautious."
"The "Infinite Seal" itself is the inheritance of Patriarch Bodhidharma. We, the Vajra Temple, only got it by chance and are responsible for its safekeeping.
Master Lichen doesn’t need to care about these sects’ opinions, just understand by yourself.”
After saying that, he handed over the animal tooth directly.
And Li Chen put his hands together in eleven salutes without any pretense, and directly proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."
"Then respect is worse than obeying orders."
After that, he took the beast's tooth.
