Lin Xing couldn't help but have a flash of doubt in his heart: "Am I really wrong in my suspicion? Can Daguangming Temple really lead people to do good? Can the people of the Mirror World really be guided for good?"
Lin Xing shook his head. The countless memories of being attacked in the mirror world in his mind helped him deny this judgment.
"What exactly the Daguangming Temple looks like requires in-depth observation to know."
"It just so happens that on the way to Sheshen Cliff this time, I can take a look..."
Next, the group left the village and saw a large amount of uncultivated wasteland outside the village.
Lin Xing asked: "Isn't there anyone in the whole village farming?"
Dong'er shook his head with complicated eyes: "How can you make more money from farming than worshiping Buddha? Nowadays everyone is worshiping Buddha, so there are no people farming anymore."
Lin Xing wondered: "Since everyone is worshiping Buddha, where do the food and food come from?"
Dong'er said: "The temple will provide it, and believers can just spend money to buy it."
At this moment, I heard shouts and curses coming from behind.
I saw several strong men with fierce looks and armed with long spears and short sticks chasing after me.
Dong'er was startled when she saw this scene, and quickly grabbed Lin Xing and ran towards the outside of the village: "Quick! Run away!"
Lin Xing wondered: "What do they do? Why are they looking for you?"
Dong'er pulled Lin Xing and said quickly: "They are here to capture me and go back to worship me! Walk quickly, walk quickly, it will be troublesome if they catch me."
A strong man roared angrily: "You stinky girl! The master in the temple said that you go to the toilet eight times a day and disappear before the time comes. Do you know how many Buddha hours you owe?"
Dong'er ran and shouted: "Which of you wants to worship yourself? At worst, I don't want the salary!"
The strong man said sadly: "At your age, you should treat the temple as your home and worship Buddha sincerely every day. I finally sent you to the temple, but you sneaked out?"
Dong'er shouted: "If I treat the temple as my home, shouldn't I be able to go and leave whenever I want?"
The strong man said angrily: "Evil!"
The several strong men had obviously practiced martial arts, and they all ran very fast. They were about to catch up with them, and Dong'er was so frightened that her face turned pale.
But at the next moment, several sword intents that no one noticed rose up from the clothes of several big men.
Then, with several screams, several big men were pulled to a stop by their clothes.
In the blink of an eye, Dong'er pulled Lin Xing and three others away from the strong man who was chasing them.
She patted her chest and said thankfully: "Fortunately, we got rid of them."
Lin Xing asked curiously: "Are those people just now members of your family?"
Dong'er said casually: "Well, the leader is my father. He either forces me to go to the temple to pay homage all day long, or forces my grandfather to hold on until he is thirty years old."
Bai Yiyi couldn't help but said: "You yourself are not willing to worship Buddha every day, so you still introduce us to worship?"
"The master at the temple at the entrance of the village said that I am not qualified to worship Buddha." Dong'er explained: "Don't I think that you have the qualifications to worship Buddha, so I want to drag you to enjoy the blessings bestowed by the Great Bright Buddha?"
Next, the group of four people accelerated their speed and continued to move towards the Great Guangming Mountains. Finally, they arrived at a mountain city before dark.
Dong'er introduced: "This is the Buddhist City, and across the mountain city is the main temple of Daguangming Temple."
As a group of people passed through the mountain city, they found that the whole city was silent, and they could only hear some pious chanting from time to time.
According to Lin Xing's spiritual vision, almost every household was silently praying to Buddha, and apart from that, there seemed to be nothing else to do.
Seeing the empty streets in front of her, like a ghost town, Bai Yiyi couldn't help but said: "This Daguangming Temple is too cruel. People here worship Buddha like this every day. Aren't they crazy?"
She looked at Zhao Wanxi aside and asked, "Are the followers of Daguangming Temple in this world so crazy?"
Zhao Wanxi shook her head: "I've never heard of worshiping like this."
The group of people passed through the mountain city and climbed over a mountain top. They saw a magnificent temple looming among the layers of clouds and mist.
Bursts of Zen chanting and Buddhist music continued to be heard from the temple, which made people feel a sense of reverence in their hearts.
And in the deepest part of the temple, there is a round of Buddha's light that seems to penetrate the heaven and earth, emitting endless light and majesty.
Bai Yiyi asked in surprise: "What is this?"
Dong'er introduced at the side: "That is a ray of Buddha's light descended by the Great Guangming Buddha. It is said that this Buddha's light has been around for eight hundred years since the arrival of the Great Guangming Buddha."
Dong'er glanced at Lin Xing and said, "The place where the Buddha's light fell is the Sacrifice Cliff."
"Believers who have been worshiping Buddha for thirty years can be guided by this Buddha's light and ascend to the Buddha Realm in the West..."
"I'm going to ask if I can visit the temple today. There should be no problem. Just wait."
I saw Dong'er trotting all the way to the gate of Daguangming Temple, saying something to the monk in the concierge, and seemed to have taken out a few taels of silver.
But the monk looked expressionless and just turned Dong'er away coldly.
Soon Dong'er ran back with a puzzled face and said to Lin Xing: "I don't know what happened. The master of the concierge said that the temple was closed. Now, except for the monks in the temple or the believers on the list,
No outsider can enter the Daguangming Temple."
Lin Xing frowned, looked at the Buddha's light in the distance and asked, "Is there no other way in?"
Seeing Dong'er shaking his head, Lin Xing thought to himself: "Is it because the Daguangming Temple has been secretly moved away, so it was announced to the outside world that the temple was closed?"
Just when Lin Xing was thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to sneak into the Daguangming Temple secretly.
Suddenly, in the magnificent temple, there was an extremely vast and majestic sound of the Buddha's trumpet.
"Amitabha, what does the donor want to do when he breaks into our Great Guangming Temple without permission?"
A male voice rang out: "I'm from the Taihe sect, Yunhezi. I heard that a shocking and unique skill from your sect, Shi Shen Ya, is about to be revealed, so I came here to take a look."
When Bai Yiyi heard this, her heart moved: "Taihe Sect? Isn't it the Taishan Beidou like Shilin Temple, one of the two strongest sects among the nine sects now? They also came to Daguangming Temple?"
Lin Xing frowned slightly and thought to himself: "The Taihe Sect also knows about the secret knowledge?"
"Amitabha, what the donor said is a rumor spread by mistake a hundred years ago. If you insist on going to Sacrifice Cliff to have a look, you need to become a formal believer of this Buddha."
The male voice smiled and said, "What if I want to come in and take a look?"
"I cannot predict future events. I will only know when the donor tries..."
The next moment, the Buddha's light located on the Sacrifice Cliff suddenly spread, and the whole world seemed to shake violently.
An earth-shattering collision sound was heard.
The surging air waves rushed straight into the sky, like a pair of invisible hands that pushed the clouds in the sky back and forth, finally revealing a light blue sky.
The clouds and mist that originally dispersed in the mountains disappeared in the violent air waves, revealing the entire magnificent Great Guangming Temple.
At the same time, under Lin Xing's spiritual vision, a figure burst out from the main entrance of the Great Light at an unimaginable speed. It flickered several times and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
There was only one voice left in the distance.
"The Great Light Buddha is indeed worthy of his reputation, but I am not the only one coming this time. Let's see how long you can hold on."
But just after the figure disappeared, the diffuse Buddha's light above the temple did not disappear. Instead, it swept through the Daguangming Temple repeatedly for a while before slowly shrinking and returning to its original appearance again.
Lin Xing frowned slightly as he watched this scene, and countless thoughts came to his mind: "...Has the leader of Xingxiao Sect not arrived yet? Or is he hiding somewhere at the moment?"
He recalled the events of the fight between the two sides, and secretly estimated in his mind: "The one who just attacked was the Great Light Buddha? With this kind of fighting power... it seems that sneaking in or forcing a break-in is not possible."
Dong'er on the side was stunned and said: "Is there... someone trespassing into the Daguangming Temple?"
The momentum of the battle just now seemed to have surpassed what Dong'er had seen and heard in the past, making her face full of shock at this moment.
Lin Xing pulled her back to the mountain city.
Along the way, Dong'er kept lamenting the battle she just saw, as if her agitated mood could not calm down for a long time.
It wasn't until she returned to the mountain city that Dong'er's mood calmed down a little, and she said embarrassedly to Lin Xing: "I didn't make it to Sheshen Cliff, how about I give you the money back?"
Lin Xing shook his head: "It was quite hard for you to take us all the way up the mountain. Just take the money. Besides, I still have something to ask you."
Dong'er laughed immediately after hearing this: "Are you hungry? Can I treat you to a meal?"
Lin Xing happened to want to ask him something, so he nodded and agreed.
When a group of people came to a food shop, they heard a quarrel in front of them.
I saw a young man standing outside a food shop, shouting and cursing into the shop: "How long ago was it last time the price increased? The price of food has increased again?"
The owner of the shop shrugged and said, "The price of rice is set by the temple. You can buy it or not."
The young man complained: "The salary is rising day by day and month by month. My salary throughout the year has been used to buy food and drink. How can I save money to find a wife?"
However, after complaining for a while, as if he was worried that he would miss the time to worship Buddha, the young man finally bought two pancakes from the food shop, bit into the pancakes, and left in a hurry.
When Lin Xing came to the restaurant and took a look, he raised his eyebrows slightly and found that the prices here were far higher than those in the outside world.
He couldn't help but said: "Why is it so expensive?"
Dong'er shrugged helplessly: "The more you earn, the more you spend."
Dong'er just ordered three side dishes and spent more than ten taels of silver.
Lin Xing sat at the dinner table and asked Dong'er: "Besides becoming a formal believer, is there any way to enter the Daguangming Temple?"
Dong'er looked at Lin Xing curiously, recalling the conversation she just heard outside the Daguangming Temple, and asked: "Are you like that person? Are you doing it for some special skill?"
Lin Xing replied: "You don't have to worry about what I do. As long as there is a way for me to enter the Daguangming Temple, I can give you money."
Dong'er shook his head repeatedly and said: "I am an official believer of Daguangming Temple, how can I..."
Lin Xing said: "Five hundred taels."
Dong'er said: "As soon as I saw you, I knew that you wanted to worship Buddha sincerely. It was either impossible or you would become a temporary believer."
Lin Xing asked: "What do temporary believers do? How long does it take?"
Dong'er explained: "Only if you worship Buddha sincerely every day can it be counted as Buddha time."
"But after all, not everyone can sincerely worship the Buddha all the time. Some people seem to have prayed for nine hours, but in the end, they only have five hours of worship. This means that four hours is not sincere enough."
"As a result, in some places, although they continue to pray to Buddha every day, they cannot complete the Buddha hours of the month...that is, the amount of time they need to sincerely pray to Buddha this month, so they can only temporarily spend money to hire people to help their families pray to Buddha."
"Temporary believers work day by day, but they are on the temporary list of believers who can enter the temple. They should also be able to go to Sheshen Cliff..."
While the two were talking, a drumbeat suddenly sounded.
The next moment, the entire mountain city seemed to come alive. Countless men, women, and children poured out of their rooms and ran towards various food shops in the city.
The restaurant where Lin Xing was at one moment was empty except for them, but the next moment countless people came and the entire restaurant was already packed with people.
