The sun sets, the moon rises, and the stars are sparse.
Xuan Xin took advantage of the night to leave her villa and quietly headed to the back mountain.
He had walked on the road to the back mountain countless times over the years. Under the moonlight, he walked very steadily.
But his heart was very uneasy.
He hoped that his master would still be the respected and highly regarded Holy Monk Namo.
I also hope that even if my master really captures Zhou Motong, he only hopes to convert her and make her a mountain-protecting beast.
What he fears most is the extremely holy master, who is an extremely evil person who does all kinds of evil!
He walked towards the back mountain step by step. Although he did not cross the void in the air and flew directly over, with his current cultivation level, he could still walk a few steps on the mountain road very quickly.
Soon he came to the retreat place of his master, the Holy Monk Namo.
This is a very ordinary cave. There is a word "Buddha" written on the top of the cave. Xuanxin pushes open the stone door at the entrance of the cave and secretly wraps the stone door with magic power to prevent it from making any sound.
He walked into the deep and winding cave, and finally came to an open area where twelve futons were neatly arranged. This was where Xuanxin and his senior brothers listened to their master's teachings and solved their doubts.
In front of this open space is a bronze door, which falls from the top and has not been opened for a long, long time.
And his master, Holy Monk Namo, was practicing in seclusion there.
"Disciple Xuan Xin, pay homage to Master!"
Xuanxin clasped her hands together, bowed towards the bronze door, and said loudly.
The sound floated in the empty cave, and there were echoes.
There was no response from inside the bronze door.
"Disciple Xuan Xin has something unclear, please ask Master for advice!"
Xuan Xin spoke again.
Still no response.
"Master, this disciple has been offended!"
Xuanxin looked at the bronze door in silence for a long time, then walked towards the bronze door, stretched out her hand and pressed against the bronze door, wrapped the bronze door with her own magic power, and lifted the bronze door bit by bit!
Hoo ho ho!
The moment the bronze door was lifted up by Xuan Xin, wisps of orange fire burned in the secret chamber behind the bronze door, illuminating the entire practice room.
In the practice room, an old monk with white beard and hair, wearing a golden cassock, stood up, turned his back to Xuanxin and said in a deep voice:
"It's Xuan Xin, what's the matter with you coming here?"
This old monk is the famous Holy Monk Namo from Jialing County.
Saint Monk Namo should not be that old, no more than three hundred years old at most, but he often shows people this face.
This is just like the fixed thinking of ordinary people. Old monks and old Taoist priests are all capable people, while young monks and young Taoist priests are all people who are not good at learning.
Therefore, the abbots of many temples are obviously very young, but they always present themselves as old.
They are all monks, and if they want, they can maintain their appearance until the moment of death.
Of course, that only relies on illusion.
Monks will also grow old, but the time required for a monk's youth, adulthood, and old age is determined by his own level of cultivation.
For example, monks in the Happy Realm often live for thousands of years. Even if they are a thousand years old, they may still be in their youth!
What's more, Holy Monk Namo is not a thousand years old, so he is still in his youth!
"The disciple called Master outside for a long time, but did not see Master's response. He was worried that something went wrong in Master's seclusion, so he took it upon himself to open the bronze door and offended Master. Please forgive me!"
Xuanxin clasped her hands together and spoke.
"Today is not the day to preach, so why did you come to my place?"
Saint Monk Namo asked, seemingly not blaming Xuan Xin for intruding rashly.
"Disciple, I really want to ask Master something. Please listen to Master and I will explain it to you in detail!"
Xuan Xin spoke up.
Then he selectively told Nan Wu about Jiang Chen's coming here, and told him in a subtle way about Jiang Chen's current strength.
Saint Monk Namo was not moved at all after hearing this. After a long time, he said:
"So Xuan Xin, you think you captured the friend of Taoist Chunyang for your master?"
"My master has been in seclusion for a long time. I don't care about worldly affairs. Even the rising star Chunyang Taoist master has never heard of me."
"As for the little black dragon you mentioned, I did intend to introduce her to Buddhism and practice the righteous way, but she rejected it!"
"Later I heard that she failed to transform into a dragon, and I thought it was a pity. Is she still alive?"
After Xuan Xin heard the answer from Holy Monk Namo, a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
"It's not as if Master caught him. That Taoist Chunyang is too strong. Master is very knowledgeable in Taoism, so naturally he is not afraid of him."
"But now that the master has been in seclusion for a long time, if he comes to Nanmo Temple to cause trouble, the senior brothers and I, as well as the elders, really can't do anything to him!"
Xuan Xin said with emotion.
"Xuan Xin doesn't have to worry too much. I won't be afraid of Taoist Chunyang as my teacher. If he treats each other with courtesy and has a fair discussion, I, Nanwu Temple, will naturally have nothing to do with him."
"But if he acts violently and bullies my disciples of Namo Temple, my master will not sit idly by and watch!"
After hearing this, Holy Monk Namo said very domineeringly.
"With Master's words, many disciples at Namo Temple will feel at ease!"
"But there is one thing that I don't know. Master knows that I was born with Buddha's bones and is very sensitive to Buddhist practices. Every time I face Master, I always feel that the practices Master practices are different from mine."
"I would like to ask Master, is it because the disciple is stupid and has practiced the temple-restraining technique of our Nanmo Temple incorrectly?"
Xuan Xin said it very sincerely.
"You didn't practice wrong, and my teacher didn't teach wrong either."
"I just made some improvements to the exercises for my master, and I am currently in retreat to learn and sort them out."
"If we can confirm that this path is correct, we will teach you new techniques!"
After hearing this, Holy Monk Namo remained silent for a few seconds and then replied.
"Amitabha, it's my disciple who has become a disciple!"
Xuan Xin bowed to Holy Monk Namo and said with shame.
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
"The difference in thought is nothing, but you can't make the same mistake again and again. In the end, you won't even have the chance to regret it."
Holy Monk Namo said with seriousness and sincerity.
"Disciples remember the teachings!"
Xuan Xin said.
"If nothing happens, just step back. The next missionary and doubt-clearing meeting will be held as scheduled!"
Holy Monk Namo said this and began to issue orders to expel guests.
"yes!"
"I dare to ask Master, can the legendary supreme power of Buddhism control the Buddhist kingdom?"
Xuan Xin nodded in agreement at first, then changed the topic and directly asked another question.
"The Buddha Kingdom in the Palm is a supreme magical power. It requires understanding the way of space before it can be used. I have only heard of this magical power, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."
Holy Monk Namo replied without thinking.
"Master, I still don't understand something. Why are you talking to me with your back turned?"
Xuan Xin looked at Saint Monk Namo who had his back turned to him, and asked curiously.
He felt that his master's behavior seemed a bit strange.
"Um?"
"It's just that I haven't had the habit of turning around for a while. I usually answer your questions and solve your doubts. It's the same for me as a teacher. I sit there for several years, just for the sake of my heart."
After hearing this, Holy Monk Namo turned around, glanced at Xuan Xin, and then showed a strange yet kind smile.
Although he smiled brightly, Xuanxin's scalp was numb when he saw it!
Especially with the dim lights in the practice room, this smile looks very scary!
At this moment, Xuan Xin felt that her master, Holy Monk Namo, was no longer as sacred as before, like a demon who chooses people to devour!
