While the chubby monk was offering incense, Baoxiang stood solemnly aside, without saying a word, with his palms clasped together. When he saw the beads handed over by Chu Li, he looked at him with wide eyes and surprise.
Chu Li said: "I would like to meet Master Huiguang. This is the master's personal belongings."
"Don't be joking, this donor." The chubby monk titheed.
How could Master Huiguang's token of appreciation be lost outside, and in the hands of such a young man in front of him?
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
"I haven't asked the benefactor's name yet," the fat monk said helplessly.
Chu Li said: "My dear Chu Li, this string of Buddhist beads was a gift from He Jin of Wu Lei Peak."
"Almsgiver Xiao, please come with the young monk." The fat monk looked solemn.
When he heard the name of Wuleifeng, he didn't dare to be careless anymore. He was a little more cautious and invited Chu Li to a nearby Qingjing Zen Temple. He let Chu Li take a rest first, and he immediately went to report.
Chu Li stood in the Zen courtyard with his hands behind his hands, listening to the sound of chanting from not far away. He felt calm and peaceful, and found a sense of familiarity.
Although this is not the lower world, it feels the same as the lower world. It seems like the Akiye Temple in the past was full of solemn and solemn chanting sounds. I wonder what the Akiye Temple is like now.
He suddenly felt a sense of longing. He had been busy running around since he left the temple. Unknowingly, he was here, farther and farther away from the temple, but his heart was calmer than when he was in the temple. Chasing the prosperity of the world is indeed better than staying in the temple to visit.
It is more suitable for you to understand profound Buddhism.
It may not be easy to meet Monk Huiguang. After all, he is a senior monk of Daci'en Temple, and not just anyone can meet him. He is not the world-famous Chu Li now, but an unknown figure.
After an appointment for a cup of tea, the fat monk strode over and said with a timbre: "Almsgiver Chu, please follow me, young monk. Uncle Hui Guang has already arrived."
Chu Lihe tithe.
The two of them walked along a quiet path to another Zen courtyard, pushed the door open, and saw a thin, middle-aged monk standing there in a daze, looking motionlessly at a cluster of flowers in the southwest corner of the courtyard.
He is of medium height and looks a bit thin in his loose monk robe.
After the fat monk came in, he stood aside respectfully without making any noise.
Chu Li also knew what was interesting and remained silent. The big round mirror looked at the monk Hui Guang with wisdom.
He doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts. He is thin, does not feel strong, and has a mediocre appearance. He cannot attract people's attention when standing in a crowd, and his temperament is also ordinary.
He closed his eyes to sense, but found that it was empty, as if there was no one in front of him. When he opened his eyes, he could see that it was obviously a state where he entered the void and became one with the heaven and earth.
It is unusual to stay in the realm of unity between nature and man all the time. It is obvious that your cultivation has reached the realm of transformation.
He could have reached this step originally, but after arriving in this world, he seemed to be separated from the world by several barriers and could not enter again, as if this world was rejecting him.
He vaguely felt that this might be because he was not an ascended person, and Xiao Qi was not so strange.
Although the patrol ultimatum is wonderful, it also has its limitations.
"Alas..." With a long sigh, Monk Hui Guang shook his head, as if he had come to his senses. He turned to look at Chu Li, and with a tithe, he closed his long sleeves and revealed the Buddhist beads on his wrist: "This thing was given to Chu by He Jin.
From the donor?”
Chu Lihe tithe: "Exactly."
"The sky is unconstrained, and there is no scruple as to what you want." Monk Huiguang shook his head: "This is indeed Brother He's style of doing things."
Chu Li said: "Let the master be in trouble."
"Donor Chu, do you want to practice more advanced martial arts?" Monk Huiguang said.
Chu Li opened his jaw.
"You were born in Taishang Peak, but you didn't practice Taishang Peak martial arts?" Monk Hui Guang's eyes suddenly burst into light, like two sharp blades piercing his body, and his natural defense and inner breath flowed.
Monk Huiguang showed a smile.
Chu Li said: "My wife is a disciple of Taishang Peak, but I am not."
"The profound martial arts of Daci'en Temple require sufficient Buddhist practice, which is difficult for outsiders to understand." Monk Huiguang said: "People in the secular world cannot adapt to their state of mind, so it is naturally difficult for them to practice successfully."
Chu Li said: "Before coming here, our couple met Master Tianyue from Wushang Temple."
"Master Tianyue..." Monk Huiguang nodded and said, "The eminent monk of Supreme Temple has strict discipline and is admirable!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Master Tianyue once taught me a set of Beiye Sutra. It is mysterious and unpredictable. It really opened my eyes and made me deeply yearn for Buddhist martial arts!"
Monk Hui Guang raised his head and said, "I see... then, donor Chu, would you like to observe the precepts and practice?"
Chu Li shook his head slowly: "I have some worries and cannot become a monk, so I can only practice at home."
"The mortal world is so vast that I cannot escape..." Monk Huiguang frowned and looked at him, sighing: "This is really a pity. With Brother He as your guarantee, the poor monk can accept you as a disciple. If you enter our temple to practice, you will definitely achieve success."
With his sharp eyes, he could already see that Chu Li's nature was profound and his wisdom was astonishing. He was really the seed of great virtues in Buddhism. If he cultivated it carefully, it would not be difficult to become a generation of eminent monks and strengthen the Great Ci'en Temple.
It is a pity that Chu Li has no ambition to become a monk and cannot focus on one goal. It is difficult to achieve great achievements in practicing Buddhism.
For his qualifications, this is nothing more than a waste of natural resources.
Chu Li could tell from Monk Huiguang's words and deeds that He Jin must have come to Monk Huiguang in advance and confessed his origin and background. It can be said that he was innocent and there was nothing to doubt.
Monk Huiguang also wanted to accept disciples, but he could not enter the Buddhist temple himself, leaving Xiao Qi and others aside.
It is a joke to say that you should enter Buddhism first and then return to the secular world after practicing successfully. How can you come and go at Daci'en Temple as you please? Once you return to the secular world, Buddhism will be reversed and martial arts will return to the realm. All your hard work will be in vain.
field.
Chu Li shook his head and said: "I don't have this ambition, I still hope that Master will make it happen."
"Alas..." Monk Huiguang looked regretful and sighed: "That's all. In that case, then you just become a lay disciple."
"Thank you, Master!" Chu Li smiled.
Monk Huiguang said: "The poor monk has three disciples so far, and he has never had any lay disciples. You must be the first one!"
Chu Li hesitated for a moment and bowed deeply: "I have met the master!"
He didn't expect that Monk Huiguang would accept him as his disciple so happily. He originally thought that he would be given a set of martial arts skills to deal with He Jin's favor, so he was caught off guard.
But then he calmed down and decided to stop.
Although he has had several masters and has always been proud of himself after becoming the best in the world, the situation is different now. If he does not become a master and acquires a higher level of martial arts, he will be unable to move forward.
If he wants to be free and at ease, and if he wants to protect his woman, he must acquire the best skills and become the top master.
Monk Hui Guang raised his hand and smiled: "Okay, starting from today, Chu Li, you will be my lay disciple."
Chu Li nodded.
Monk Huiguang sighed: "It is possible for lay disciples to achieve unparalleled martial arts, but it is ten or even a hundred times more difficult than for lay disciples. You must be prepared!"
