"Are you talking about the Shashou Buddhist disciples of the Shasheng Temple in southern Xinjiang?"
"That's natural. This disciple of the Buddha who kills living beings is extraordinary. He once suddenly understood the 'Five-Character Sutra' and later debated the sutra and defeated the demonic monk Bliss.
He retreated from the demon clan of Longevity Villa several times, so he was given the title of 'Master Lihuang' by the Emperor of Zhou."
"In terms of popularity, he should not be inferior to other Buddhist disciples."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted refutation from several other people.
"Brother, that's wrong. In my opinion, these rumors are just exaggerated."
"Sashoji Temple has been closed for two hundred years. Whether we can come or not is up for debate."
While the guests at the table were talking loudly, Li Sao, who was not far away, snorted coldly: "These people are really ignorant and short-sighted."
But Li Chen raised his hand: "Junior brother, eat well."
"This trip is just to exchange Buddhist teachings, nothing else."
Soon the three of them finished their meal.
At this time, night falls and the lanterns are turned on, making Suiye City seem even more lively than during the day.
When Li Chen Li Sao wanted to go upstairs to rest, she was pulled back by the monk Yixiu: "Amitabha."
"It's still early, this Suiye City only gets lively at night~"
Li Sao couldn't hold back the joy in her heart for a long time: "Hey, senior brother, I think Master Yixiu's kindness should not be let down."
Monk Yixiu laughed and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
Seeing that the two hit it off, Li Chen could only nod helplessly.
At this time, there were a lot of people on the streets of Suiye City.
The three of them left the inn, with Monk Ikkyu walking at the front, turning left and right along the street.
I have to say that Suiye City is indeed more lively at night than during the day.
Probably because of the ‘Auspicious Dharma Assembly’, monks can be seen in the crowd from time to time.
The three of them walked slowly along, and soon branched off from the main road and came to an alley through twists and turns.
Compared to the noise outside, it seems much quieter here.
The small corridor can accommodate at most three people.
The entire corridor is paved with stone slabs. After all, it is close to the sea of sand. There is sand in the gaps between the stone slabs. Wherever your feet walk, you will make a rustling sound.
On both sides of the aisle, there are two rows of buildings, with red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the buildings.
At this time, the breeze blew and the lantern swayed from side to side, but the flame inside was unusually solid.
After all, the alley is so narrow that the candlelight can only illuminate half of your body. The further you go back, the more you feel the alley is a little deeper.
"Where are we going?" Li Sao looked back at the bustling main road. He still preferred places with more people than here.
Monk Yixiu said with a mysterious look on his face: "I will take you to see an expert outside the world."
"Almost there~"
At this moment, a faint sound of wooden fish came to my ears.
The wooden fish is struck very slowly, and the intervals between the sounds are very long. If you don't listen carefully, you won't even be able to guess that the sound is from the wooden fish.
Li Chen was stunned, this master was still a senior Buddhist.
The further you go, the darker the alley becomes, so that when you reach the back, the red lanterns are gone.
The three of them could only tell the direction by the sound of wooden fish.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The three of them stopped for a moment before hearing a roar in the distance, followed by a crashing sound, as if something fell to the ground.
"Amitabha."
"The hexagram on the sign is like this, so why should you, sir, have trouble with the old monk?" The deep voice revealed helplessness.
Soon, a light danced in front of my eyes, reflecting light in a three-foot radius.
It turns out that there is a small temple at the bottom of the alley.
This small temple is less than ten feet wide, and at first glance is not as big as a pavilion. A wisp of incense comes out, and the whole alley has a faint fragrance.
At this time, there were a few people standing vaguely at the entrance of the small temple.
The sound just now came from here.
"Stinky monk! Do you believe that I destroyed your stall?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several more items fell to the ground.
"Amitabha."
"You've already done it and you still ask me if I believe it?"
The next moment, I heard a muffled sound in my ears.
Bang~
A black shadow flew out from the small temple.
The three of them separated left and right, moving the figure out of the way. There was another muffled sound, and the man fell heavily to the ground, and rolled far away like a gourd rolling on the ground.
The three of them looked at each other. It seemed that this senior was not easy to talk to.
Li Chen followed the dim light and looked over, only to see three big characters "Little Cause and Effect" written crookedly on the small pavilion-like temple.
There are two pillars in front of the door, with a pair of couplets hanging on each pillar.
Zuo Shu: ‘You will know cause and effect as you grow older’.
Right hand letter: ‘Everything is in vain’.
After the man was thrown out, the people lining up outside the small temple became much quieter.
Looking through the gap between the crowd, I saw a middle-aged monk sitting in the small temple. He had a lazy face, yawned and was sleepy, as if what just happened had nothing to do with him.
Next to him, an unshaven boy was lying on the ground picking something up.
Li Sao looked at it intently and couldn't help but be speechless: "...Guanyin's Spiritual Lotus?!"
He stared at Monk Yixiu with incredible eyes, as if to say: This is feudal superstition, do you believe it?
When he said this sentence, Monk Yixiu glanced around and lowered his voice.
Li Sao scoffed, since he didn't believe it anyway.
But I heard the monk Yixiu say slowly: "I feel ashamed to say that."
"At first, the young monk came here just to learn some secret hexagrams and then go to a stall in the downtown area to make alms."
"I didn't expect that when I randomly drew a lot, it turned out to be 'Xia Xia'."
"And the monk told me directly that I was born poor and I would have to pay whatever I did~"
Having said this, Monk Yixiu smiled bitterly: "I was in the same mood as that person just now. I almost overturned his table."
Hearing this, Li Sao laughed out loud: "What happened next? It didn't work out?"
Monk Yixiu nodded awkwardly: "Not only did it fail, but I also brought in two spiritual stones."
"After that, I came here a few more times. It can be said that... I have exhausted my strategy."
"The most recent one was the 'Tribulation of the Demons'. At that time, I drew the 'Shang Shang' lottery. The great monk told me that it was a near miss."
"Now it seems that he has calculated it correctly again.
Coming here this time is a fulfillment of my wish.”
Li Chen was also stunned when he heard this: "Is it really so accurate?"
Monk Yixiu nodded: "It's absolutely true."
Li Chen groaned and looked at the sleepy monk in the small temple, but he became interested: "In this case, there is no harm in taking a look."
The great monk solved the lot quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the turn of the three of them.
Monk Yixiu went in first, bowed to the great monk, and presented a spiritual stone to express his gratitude.
Then he asked for a bamboo tube, shook out a lotus stick, and asked the great monk to take a look at it.
It didn't take more than half a cup of tea before he came out with a sad face.
Looking at it like this, I'm afraid the signature I requested this time isn't very good.
At this time, the little boy in the temple waved, and Li Chen understood the idea and walked into the small temple.
