Chapter 74 Fengzeting, the ascetic of Yunyin Temple
The reason why Xu Taiping was so sure was that the lotus on the young monk's sleeve was different from the ordinary lotus pattern. It was a lotus with falling petals.
Why I didn't recognize the young monk at first was because I didn't see his face in the picture I saw with my left eye, I only saw the hand and sleeves that pulled him up.
After that, he passed out on the man's back.
"Master, the capital of Nanchu is sixty miles away. Why do you need to go to a dangerous place like the Blood Rain Forest?"
Xu Taiping withdrew his gaze from the young monk's sleeves.
"As far as I know, apart from warrior monks, Zen Buddhism doesn't require you to go out to practice, right? Master, you don't look like a warrior monk."
He then looked the young monk up and down.
"The benefactor has a keen eye. The poor monk is indeed not a warrior monk. It is because of this that the stone benefactor just did not want the young monk to go with him."
The young monk smiled sheepishly.
"Let me not hide it from the donor, the place that the young monk is going to on this trip is not the Blood Rain Forest, but a small village called Xinghua Village on the border of Xiliang Kingdom after passing through the Blood Rain Forest."
He then said with a serious look.
"What you're doing is more dangerous than going into the bloody rainforest for training."
Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
He had already asked Chongde to get a map of the Blood Rain Forest. If he wanted to go to Xiliang Kingdom, he would have to bypass the Blood Rain Forest. During this period, he would have to pass through at least several monster territories, one of which was related to the Golden Toad Poison Mother.
The territory is very close.
"Xiao Monk knows, but Xiao Monk has a reason why he has to go."
The young monk smiled faintly.
"Oh? What's the reason? Master, can you tell me?"
Xu Taiping crossed his arms and asked seriously.
It was not yet certain whether the young monk in front of him was the person he saw with his left eye, but judging from the lotus on his sleeve, it must be related to him, so he had to ask clearly.
"Of course it's possible."
The young monk nodded and then introduced Xu Taiping:
"The young monk's name is Xuanzhi. He was originally a disciple of the Xuan generation of Yunyin Temple in Xiliang. Three years ago when he went out to seek alms, he passed by Xinghua Village and found that the place was full of resentment. Children in the village were often led into the bloody rainforest by evil spirits and killed."
"Later, I asked the elders in the village for advice, and I found out that this place was the battlefield where Xiliang's army fought with monsters two or three hundred years ago. Most of these evil spirits were transformed by soldiers who died on the battlefield and innocent villagers, and because of contamination
All of them turned into evil spirits after being possessed by the demonic energy."
"These evil ghosts were originally suppressed by a passing Taoist priest for hundreds of years with a talisman. But later, for some unknown reason, the talisman failed, and those evil ghosts and resentments were released one after another. And
And among these evil ghosts, there is also a ghost king."
"The young monk followed Muramasa's guidance and found the ghost king. He wanted to save him, but he didn't have enough magic power, so he could only suppress him temporarily."
"We, Yunyin Temple, belong to the line of Zen ascetic cultivation. If we want to improve our magic power, we must practice asceticism for thousands of miles and ask for alms from thousands of households. The farther we travel, the more alms we have, and the higher our magic power will be."
"In order to completely liberate the ghosts below Xinghua Village, the young monk came to Nanchu, practiced asceticism for thousands of miles, and obtained three stones of corn and one hundred taels of gold and silver each."
"As long as the young monk can bring these back to Xinghua Village, sprinkle corns all over Xinghua Village, and then plate my Buddha Dharma image with gold and silver, all ghosts can be saved."
After listening to the young monk's explanation, the confusion in Xu Taiping's eyes finally dissipated.
At the same time, he also picked up the message jade plate in his hand and looked at it. He saw a line next to the name of Pilu Temple Abbot Huiming -
"There is indeed a Yunyin Temple in Xiliang, but the monks in the temple have lived in seclusion for many years. Prajna Temple has sent disciples to search for it, but to no avail. However, the mark of the residual lotus and the method of penance are indeed unique to Yunyin Temple.
There are very few people who know this. If you can tell this, this person’s identity should not be false.”
"If possible, please ask Lord Heavenly Protector to have some contact with this mage. Yunyin Temple's ascetic practice has been lost in Zen Buddhism for many years. Perhaps you can send someone to ask for advice in the future."
This line of text sent by Huiming also made Xu Taiping completely relieved about Xuanzhi's identity.
Looking down at the pair of worn-out straw sandals on the young monk's feet and the freshly scabbed wound on the instep, Xu Taiping clasped his palms together and said seriously:
"The Master is so kind."
"The donor has given me the reward. This is the practice of a young monk."
Monk Xuanzhi scratched his bare head in embarrassment.
"The method that the young monk practices is not afraid of evil things, but he is afraid of encountering some difficult monsters and ferocious beasts. That's why the young monk wants to find a martial artist to accompany him on the journey."
He explained to Xu Taiping with sincere eyes.
"Master Xuanzhi, I can accompany you, but there is one thing I must tell you."
Xu Taiping looked at Master Xuanzhi with a serious expression.
“The donor just said it’s okay.”
"I am being hunted by some enemies. This trip to the Bloody Rain Forest is a narrow escape from death. If you, Master, come with me, you may be implicated."
If possible, Xu Taiping still doesn't want to let others get involved in his disaster.
"Amitabha, the donor does not need to worry about the little monk. I am of the ascetic lineage and everything depends on fate. If I am really involved, it is a given. It has nothing to do with whether I am with you, the donor."
Monk Xuanzhi replied very calmly. The reason why Xu Taiping was so sure was because the lotus on the young monk's sleeve was different from the ordinary lotus pattern. It was a lotus with falling petals.
Why I didn't recognize the young monk at first was because I didn't see his face in the picture I saw with my left eye, I only saw the hand and sleeves that pulled him up.
