After successfully stealing a piece of Qinglian, Feng Jueyu rushed to Xuankong Temple overnight and arrived at the mountain gate just after midnight. He did not pass by the monks and went directly to the outside of Master Kongyuan's Zen room.
It was late at night, but the weak oil lamp was still burning in Kongyuan's meditation room. It was not quiet inside either. I could only hear a man named Kongyuan asking questions incessantly.
"Yuan Heng, do you think Feng Zhenren can successfully succeed?"
"Master Abbot, what are you doing?"
"Pack your bags. If Master Feng succeeds, I won't be able to stay in Fozhou any longer. If a son of Qinglian is stolen, Jiuchan Temple will definitely search for it with all its strength. Don't look at it when you come in during the day and no one cares about it. As long as Jiuchan Temple
There was a vigorous search under the Zen monastery, and every move we made during the day could not escape their notice. By the time we wanted to leave, it would be too late."
Xiao Luqi: "..."
After a moment of silence, Kong Yuan said again: "Yuan Heng, what are you doing there? If you don't hurry up and pack up, I can tell you that no matter whether Master Feng succeeds or not this time, we have to leave overnight, otherwise, everyone will
No one can get out."
Xiao Luqi suppressed a huge blush in the Zen temple. Seeing the sanctimonious old monk reveal his true face, he couldn't help but sit there and roll his eyes wildly.
"Master Abbot, you are also the abbot of Xuankong Temple after all. Do you have this much courage?" Xiao Luqi said angrily and sarcastically.
Unexpectedly, Kong Yuan didn't care at all. Instead, he persuaded: "It's useless to be brave. When you are about to die, you will know that dignity and face are not as important as a small life. I am a person who has been here, and I don't want to die again.
Now, you don’t have to worry about me, I’ll just pack up and leave.”
Feng Jueyu stood outside with black lines on his head. He once suspected that the person he met yesterday was not Kong Yuan himself at all. The difference was too big.
Squeak!
He opened the door and walked in.
Kongyuan inside suddenly became alert, grabbed the Zen staff placed beside the bed, and shouted: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Master Abbot..." Feng Jueyu walked in with a gloomy face.
Kong Yuan was relieved when he saw it was Feng Jueyu, but his eyes immediately flashed with disappointment. He put down his Zen staff and said, "What? Master Feng? Didn't you get the thing?"
Is this really an eminent monk?
After listening to Kong Yuan's question, Feng Jueyu walked to the chair and sat down without saying a word.
Despair surged into his heart, but Kongyuan quickly recovered and said with sweating profusely: "You two, since we haven't got the things, don't wait any longer. Let's leave quickly. It'll be too late if it's later."
"Why are you so anxious?" Xiao Luqi said angrily. He didn't think Feng Jueyu would miss. After all, Feng Jueyu was a master in the Taoist realm.
"Are you not in a hurry? The Ten Thousand Living Lotus Pond is an important place for Buddhism. Master Feng has gone there and failed. Kashyapa Tower will soon find out the clues. If the Jiuchan Temple is alarmed, then I will be miserable. Forget it.
It's useless for me to tell you. You don't know how terrible Jiuchan Temple is. If you don't leave, I have to leave. You two, we will meet again later... uh, let's say goodbye..."
Kong Yuan didn't ask Feng Jueyu. After packing his luggage and stuffing everything into a treasure bag, he opened the door and fled.
Feng Jueyu, who was sitting evenly, saw Master Kongyuan being so pissed, and immediately shouted softly: "Master, you don't want a son of Qinglian anymore?"
Whoosh!
Kong Yuan paused in his steps, and there was a flash of light in his eyes: "What do you mean? You got the thing?"
Feng Jueyu rolled his eyes, reached into his arms, and took out a green lotus. There were water drops from the lotus pond hanging on the lotus stem.
"One Child of Green Lotus?" Kong Yuan excitedly threw the Zen staff on the ground with a bang, and ran over with excitement in his eyes, almost wanting to snatch One Child of Green Lotus from Feng Jueyu's hand.
But he is far from being as quick as Feng Jueyu.
Whoosh!
Feng Jueyu took a piece of green lotus back into the Tiandaozhu and sent it to the pond. He hung his legs and looked at Kongyuan and said: "Master Kongyuan, don't worry, I brought the things back to you, what about me? Isn't that right?
You have to give me an explanation."
Kong Yuan's throat rolled, and his mental state was obviously still stuck on the excitement of the moment when he saw a child of Qinglian.
After relaxing for a while, Kong Yuan calmed down. At this time, he completely turned into a flattering smile: "Oh Master Feng, no, Senior Feng, I am so impressed that I fell in admiration. Thank you for helping me find a son of Qinglian."
, Don’t worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, no, I will do it next time.”
As he spoke, he carefully took out a dark brown peach wood bracelet from his arms. This bracelet had a total of twenty-one beads, and each bead was engraved with a golden Zen character.
Kong Yuan presented the bracelet to Feng Jueyu with both hands and said: "Take this string of beads, follow me..."
Feng Jueyu and Xiao Luqi exchanged glances, stood up and left immediately.
After leaving the yard, they still headed to the back mountain trail, went down the mountain from there, and then walked in a circle to Muyu Peak. Following closely behind, Kong Yuan led the two of them to speed through the mountain forest.
This walk lasted all night. When it was just getting dark the next morning, the three of them came to the foot of a high mountain. The entire mountain face to the east of this high mountain was covered with statues engraved with Buddha statues.
Buddha Cave, in front of the Buddha Cave is a dense old forest.
When they arrived at the end of the field, Kongyuan pointed to the Buddhist caves on the mountain and said: "You go from here, along the forest to the foot of the mountain. There are many Buddha statues there. Among them is the Mahayana Mingwang Buddha. It is on the west side of the mountain. You can find it as soon as you look for it.
, there is a secret passage behind the Buddha statue. There is no restriction and it can lead to the mountain. After you go in along the secret passage and pass through the mountain, you can go to the woods behind the Jiuzhan Temple, and then walk a few steps to the southeast.
For a few hours, remember, don’t fly. There are monks patrolling that forest, so you just need to hide. After a few hours, you can see an ancient pagoda called Muni Pagoda.
To the north is a large purple bamboo forest. There is a trail in the forest, but don’t walk on the trail. After passing through the purple bamboo forest along the north, you can see the Snow Chan Zhu Forest. When you get there, take this string of beads and give it to
The monks guarding Zhulin will look at it and they will let you in."
"What are this string of Buddhist beads?" Feng Jueyu heard Kong Yuan's introduction in such detail, and it didn't look like it was fake, so he asked.
"This string of beads is the certificate for foreign pilgrims and donors to enter the Snow Chan Forest. They are very precious. Normally outsiders are not allowed to possess them. I also accidentally picked them up many years ago when I was sent to guard the Snow Chan Forest.
Yes, you can definitely go in with this." Kong Yuan introduced with a beaming expression.
However, Feng Jueyu was not that easy to fool. He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found that there was indeed a touch of Buddhist holy power in the beads, but he still didn't believe it: "I heard that you were just the monk of Jiuchan Temple in the past. How could it be possible?
With such treasures, Master Kongyuan, I have found a son of Qinglian for you, you won’t deceive me, will you?”
Xiao Luqi was also extremely shrewd, and he suddenly felt something was wrong and said, "Kong Yuan, are you tired of living? You dare to play such a conspiracy."
There was sweat on Kong Yuan's face, but he was not frightened by being exposed. Instead, he said with a smile: "Senior's wisdom, these beads are indeed fake."
"What?" Feng Jueyu and Xiao Luqi had guessed that Kong Yuan was unlikely to have the credentials to enter the Snow Chan Forest, but they didn't expect that this guy actually used fake goods to deceive them, and they were immediately annoyed.
However, before the two of them had a seizure, they heard Kong Yuan say: "You two gentlemen, please do your best. Yes, it is indeed impossible for me to have a voucher to enter the Snow Chan Forest, because this kind of Buddhist beads are all made after nine
Several presiding officers at the Zen Temple have blessed me with profound Buddhist teachings. How could I have such a good thing? However, I did spend some time in the Snow Zen Forest and guarded the gate there. You believe me, although this string of beads is
The fake goods I made are definitely not visible to the monks guarding the gate, because no outsiders have ever risked their lives to sneak in there, and secondly, the monks’ cultivation is not high and they neglect management, so they definitely can’t tell.
, Aren’t you going to enter the Snow Chan Forest? It’s okay if you can sneak through it, but if something happens inside, I can’t guarantee it. I can only do so much.”
"You stupid bald donkey!" Xiao Luqi was so angry that he reached out his hand and grabbed Kong Yuan's cassock.
When Feng Jueyu saw this, he stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Luqi's anger and said, "Okay, what he said like this proves that he didn't lie. Anyway, my goal is to enter the Xuezhan Zhulin Forest, that's all. You
It’s useless to make things difficult for him.”
Xiao Luqi let go of his hand, and Kong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said: "Master Feng is tolerant and forgiving. I am deeply grateful. Look at the green lotus and the top-quality spiritual treasure chalcedony..."
Hearing this, Feng Jueyu took out the thing and said, "I can give you the thing, but you have to tell me, what will happen if there are no real beads?"
Kong Yuan's throat rolled and he said: "I heard, just heard, that real Buddhist beads have been blessed by several hosts to ensure that outside pilgrims and donors can pass through the Xuezhen Zhu Forest unimpeded, and can enter the Buddhist holy land and pass through it.
The "Three Thousand and Six Hundred Chapters of Widely Propagating the Dharma" left by Patriarch Yuan eliminates karma and clears away inner demons. This has attracted countless experts from all over the world to request to enter the Snow Chan Forest for healing and practice after being injured. But what will happen specifically?
I don’t know at all, so please don’t make things difficult for me.”
"You bald donkey, you have already planned to be a wolf with nothing. I made the mistake of trusting you." Xiao Luqi was so angry that veins appeared on his forehead.
Feng Jueyu took a look and realized that this Kongyuan was an old scoundrel, but he had to give him a son, Qinglian, and even kill him. If Jiuchan Temple was alerted, it would be troublesome.
He thought about it, sighed helplessly, and threw the green lotus and the bag of chalcedony to Kong Yuan and said: "Okay, take your things and get out. I'm warning you, I'm coming in."
If you dare to spread the word about Jiuchan Temple to the outside world, I will guarantee that you will die without a burial place."
