Tianxu Temple is solemn and solemn, with monks everywhere.
With Monk Daochen leading the way, Chen Qingyuan arrived at the Buddhist Hall without any hindrance.
Standing at the door, you can see that the hall is full of eminent monks, hundreds of them.
After calming down, Chen Qingyuan followed Monk Daochen and walked in.
All the eminent monks turned to look at Chen Qingyuan, their faces expressionless and their thoughts difficult to guess.
In the deepest part of the hall, an old monk wearing simple shackles sat cross-legged, with his eyes closed and chanting sutras, his expression solemn.
"Abbott, he is here."
Monk Daochen bowed to the old monk with his hands clasped together and said softly.
"I have met all eminent monks."
Chen Qingyuan saluted forward with a serious look on his face, looking slightly nervous.
The eminent monks looked at each other and communicated secretly, discussing Chen Qingyuan. They were surprised as to what the significance of Daoyi Academy sending a monk at the Golden Core Realm was.
If a Jindan monk can solve this problem, why should the Buddhist temple seek help from others?
A very few monks showed disdain and displeasure, thinking that Daoyi Academy was insulting Dongtu Buddhist Temple.
However, the abbot of Tianxu Temple has not yet spoken, and none of the monks dared to rebuke him and remained silent.
"When a distinguished guest comes to your door, there is no need to be polite."
The old monk opened his eyes, stopped turning the beads in his hand, and stood up tremblingly, his voice hoarse.
Being stared at by the old monk, Chen Qingyuan felt uncomfortable all over.
"This benefactor's name is Chen Qingyuan, and he is the apprentice of Vice President Yu of Daoyi Academy."
Monk Daochen is the abbot's direct disciple and has a very high status. As long as he makes no mistakes in the future, he will most likely be the future abbot of Tianxu Temple.
The monks learned Chen Qingyuan's identity and took a few more glances.
Originally, the monks thought that Yu Chenran would go there in person, or even send a top elder who was proficient in the magic of the academy. The arrival of Chen Qingyuan made them feel confused and a little bit perfunctory.
"Almsgiver Yu is very measured in what he does. There must be deep meaning in his actions. Monks should not think too much."
The old monk's Dharma name is Xuan Kong. His Dharma is extremely high and can overwhelm the Eastern Land.
"yes."
The monks did not dare to think wildly and immediately stopped their distracting thoughts.
In fact, the old monk couldn't see through Chen Qingyuan for the time being, and couldn't figure out what Yu Chenran meant. However, he believed that Yu Chenran would not take the matter lightly.
So, the old monk retreated the monks, walked to Chen Qingyuan with a staggering step, and smiled kindly: "Almsgiver Chen, please move."
A side hall of Tianxu Temple is very quiet and undisturbed.
The old monk and Chen Qingyuan were sitting very close to each other. There was fragrant tea on the table, and wisps of tea fragrance floated to the tip of Chen Qingyuan's nose. The nervousness slowly dissipated.
This tea has a calming effect and is not a vulgar food.
The old monk in front of him is the leader of Dongtu Buddhism, and he can tell by just guessing that he is an extremely powerful man in the Mahayana period. Facing such a existence, Chen Qingyuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Does the Master have something for you to convey?"
The old monk has returned to his original nature. On the surface, he looks like an ordinary person, with a kind face and kind eyes, and is very kind.
"There is something."
When he arrived, Yu Chenran handed a jade slip to Chen Qingyuan, asking Chen Qingyuan to hand it over to the abbot of Tianxu Temple.
That jade slip has a special seal that cannot be unlocked by Chen Qingyuan's skills. Only extremely powerful monks can know the contents inside the jade slip.
Chen Qingyuan took out the jade slip and handed it to the old monk.
The old monk looked at the jade slip in his hand and read a wisp of Buddhist thoughts.
Buzz!
The jade slip trembled slightly, and Yu Chenran, who was far away in Beihuang, sensed it and knew that the seal of the jade slip had been broken.
"Old monk, it depends on whether you have the courage to accept this cause and effect. This is a disaster, but it is also a blessing."
Yu Chenran was sitting cross-legged on the water in the middle of the lake, fishing quietly.
Tianxu Temple, side hall.
Chen Qingyuan sat upright and kept quiet.
After a moment, the old monk opened his eyes and understood what Yu Chenran wanted to express.
Looking at Chen Qingyuan again, the old monk had a different taste in his eyes, which was slightly complicated. At a certain moment, the old monk had the idea of letting Chen Qingyuan leave directly.
However, the moment this thought came up, the old monk immediately cut it off, calmed his mind, and said to himself: "Sin, sin."
If Chen Qingyuan's identity and origin were not known, the old monk would expel him, even if he knew it afterwards, it would not matter.
However, now that we know it, if we drive him away, it will affect his Taoist mind to some extent.
As the leader of Eastern Buddhism, the old monk is very aware of the karma of Qingzong and the contribution that Qingzong has made to the people of the world. Although the inheritors of Qingzong are not stained with karma, their hearts towards the Tao will definitely be affected.
cause some damage.
After all, the purpose of Buddhism is to help the world and save people, so how can we drive away the descendants of Qingzong who have great merits and virtues?
well!
Old man Yu, your conspiracy is so vicious!
The old monk kept looking at Chen Qingyuan and fell into deep thought.
"Why does this old monk keep looking at me?"
Chen Qingyuan muttered in his heart, goosebumps appeared all over his body, and he felt very uncomfortable.
For the future of Qingzong and Chen Qingyuan's safety, Yu Chenran thought for a long time before deciding to tell the old monk Chen Qingyuan's identity.
With the old monk's character and this friendship, he would definitely not harm Chen Qingyuan, nor would he spread the news.
That's why Yu Chenran chose to do this.
Qing Zong suppressed Demon Abyss for 300,000 years, and accumulated merits that reached an unimaginable level. Just because the way of heaven was blocked by some kind of power, the merits could not be brought to the world, causing Qing Zong to become worse than the previous generation.
If Dongtu Buddhism helps the Qing Sect and is contaminated by this cause and effect, it may be possible to obtain a lot of good fortune in the future. However, good fortune is not so easy to obtain, and it is accompanied by great risks.
"Master, what are you doing... looking at this junior?"
Chen Qingyuan felt uncomfortable all over and asked in a low voice.
"The poor monk felt that Almsgiver Chen was destined to be my Buddha, so he took a few more glances."
The old monk smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Qingyuan laughed awkwardly and did not answer.
"Donor Chen, please stay in the guest room and rest for two days."
The old monk decided to think about it again.
"good."
Chen Qingyuan could not see what the old monk was thinking.
Immediately afterwards, the old monk asked Monk Daochen to arrange a place for Chen Qingyuan to live.
In a closed temple, the old monk sat alone under the Buddha statue, beating the wooden fish and thinking about this matter.
In the past, Buddhism was afraid of the terrifying cause and effect of the Demonic Abyss, and the monks in the sect were never allowed to enter the imperial state, so as not to bring disaster to Buddhism. Now, Chen Qingyuan has come to Buddhism, making it impossible for the old monk to escape, and he must face this problem head-on.
.
“Is Buddhism wrong?”
The old monk looked up at the golden Buddha statue and said to himself.
If Dongtu Buddhism had made the same choice as Qingzong back then, the current situation would certainly not be much better!
