Monk Zenxin stood up quickly, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yu would leave.
Xiao Yu looked at Abbot Zen Xin with a smile. Only then did he realize that the other person was afraid that he would accuse him.
But he didn't take it to heart at all. There were a lot of people there at the beginning, including dozens of large and small mountain gates, but they were all just for show. Only a few of them could really help him.
Besides, this is a voluntary matter, and I have no right to force others to go, so I can't even talk about being held accountable.
Since the other party had something to do with him, Xiao Yu did not shirk and immediately stayed at the temple to hear what the monk had to say.
In the evening, after fasting, a group of monks went to the main hall to chant sutras, but the abbot led Xiao Yu to the backyard, where they sat under an osmanthus tree and started drinking tea.
"Xiao Zhenjun is so young and has such ability, we are really ashamed!
I stayed with Zhenjun today because I have something to ask of Zhenjun and I hope he can help me."
The monk poured tea for Xiao Yu and said with a smile.
The monk asked the Taoist priest for help. This sounded like something was wrong, but the other person said it very casually, as if the matter was of no importance.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Xiao Yu was holding osmanthus tea and looking at Abbot Zenxin while observing his destiny.
The other party has worshiped Buddha for many years. Although he is not a Taoist, he still has a faint Buddhist light on his body, so Xiao Yu only took a general look.
"Master Zen Xin has a lifespan of ninety-six years and has no children..."
A few words only explained the other party's longevity, but there was no useful information about anything else.
"The most grand ceremony in Buddhism is called the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival, also known as the Lotus Pilgrimage Festival.
To participate in this grand event, there are two requirements, one is to have Buddha bones on your body and be given a lotus guide, and the other is that you must have Buddha bone relics in the temple."
Zen Xin's words made Xiao Yu's body tremble.
When I killed the Blood Taoist, I found the Lotus Guide Token in the opponent's Taoist weapon, but I never put it to use. I thought the time had passed, but now it seems...
The monk glanced at Xiao Yu, and after seeing that the other party did not respond, he continued:
"Don't be afraid of Zhenjun's jokes. Although my Reclining Buddha Temple has existed for hundreds of years, there has not been a single disciple of the Buddha's bones, so I have not received the Lotus Guide Order.
But we were lucky. Eighteen years ago, after the old abbot left for the west, he left behind two Buddha bone relics, so we had the opportunity to participate in this Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival.
The World of Ten Thousand Buddhas is not only a festival for Buddhists, but also a Taoist festival. A banquet will be held for Taoist masters, and since the True Monarch is young, he will surely be invited as well."
Zen Xin's face was solemn, and Xiao Yu was a little confused as to what the other party wanted to express.
"Since you already have a place to go, what are you worried about?"
Xiao Yu looked at the other party and said with some doubts.
In fact, when Xiao Yu heard about Thousand Buddhas Temple, he was a little discouraged because he still had some grudges with Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Although he has put aside his grudges, he cannot allow his enemies to meet, and he is extremely jealous. If there is an accident, wouldn't it ruin a wise life?
Of course, this is just Xiao Yu's imagination. If he was afraid of trouble, he would probably have died many times.
"The True Lord is unaware of something. Although the Festival of Ten Thousand Buddhas sounds good, it is full of dangers.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Festival is held every fifty years, and every time it is held, many people die, and the Buddha's bones are stolen. Without any strength, it is impossible to stay there for a long time.
I am able to visit the Wat Pho this time, which can be regarded as gaining some experience and meeting the world's masters, but the disciples are all mortals, and they will escape death with the relics.
So I want to ask Zhenjun to take the disciples of the Temple of the Reclining Buddha with him when he goes there, and take care of them so that they don’t lose their lives."
After twisting and turning, Zen Xin finally got to the point, and Xiao Yu also understood what the other party meant.
Probably just to let himself be a thug to protect his disciples.
After Abbot Zenxin finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Yu had not responded, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. The other party really had no obligation to help him.
Buddhism should go to Buddhism. If we find a Taoist to help us now, if word spreads, it will make other temples laugh.
However, every Buddhist temple wanted to participate in such a grand event, and others wished that he could not go to Wat Pho, so when he saw Xiao Yu, Zenxin had some thoughts.
"Abbott, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that I haven't received the invitation now. If I can't go then, wouldn't it be a delay for you?"
Xiao Yu was telling the truth. He did not receive the invitation. Moreover, even if he was invited, he might not go, unless the event was very tempting to him.
The monk heard what Xiao Yu said and probably refused to accept the call. Most people would now say, forget it.
But the monk did not say anything, but took out a scroll from his arms. The scroll was yellow, but most of the skin had peeled off, and it looked like an ancient relic.
"Zhenjun, this is an ancient Buddhist scripture. It is too profound and I cannot understand it, but I know that it is a treasure.
If you agree, I will take this as a reward, what do you think?"
The monk finally showed his housekeeping skills. In his opinion, if there is no profit, he will not start early. Xiao Yu will definitely agree when he sees this thing.
After all, it's just incidental, and it's not like being a bull or a horse.
But Xiao Yu just glanced at the Buddhist scripture and then shook his head.
"You misunderstood me. I just don't know if I can go. I'm not asking you for any reward!"
But I promise you, I will help with this matter. I happen to know two masters of Taoism. They are both Taoists and they will definitely attend the Ten Thousand Buddhas Meeting. If you are willing to do so, just give this thing to them.
"
Xiao Yu is a Taoist priest, and Buddhist scriptures are not very useful to him, and he has never thought that one day he would be able to practice both Buddhism and Taoism.
"this...."
Seeing that Xiao Yu couldn't agree to anything like this, Abbot Zenxin didn't pay attention for a moment and could only nod with a wry smile.
Then Xiao Yu asked some questions about the Ten Thousand Buddhas Association, but Abbot Zenxin didn't know much, so he didn't ask anything.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yu left a letter and continued on the road in the monster beast.
Yesterday, he had received something. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Association was also a relatively large Xuanmen ceremony. He had known about it early, so he paid attention to it. If possible, he was still prepared to go in.
Qingzhu Town is actually at the intersection of Sichuan and Guizhou. It is green and has bamboos as big as the mouth of a bowl. People live and work in peace and contentment. The people are rich and live a happy life.
Qingzhu Temple is not well-known in China, so few people know about it. In addition, there is no publicity, it is not a tourist attraction, and it has not been developed accordingly.
Xiao Yu landed in a bamboo forest, then followed the path and reached the top of the mountain in a few flashes.
Qingzhu Temple is all built with bamboo, including rental housing, Taoist temples, etc.
But what is enshrined here is not Laojun or other Taoist immortals, but a statue called Qingzhu Zhenren.
Xiao Yu had no impression of Master Qingzhu, but those who could receive incense here must have some great merits.
Because ordinary Taoists cannot bear the incense and will be struck by lightning.
