Today's weather is good, cloudless. After flying high in the sky, with Qin Qi's eyesight, he can see beyond the small map.
Sure enough, he was still deep in the Western Desert.
This place is just an oasis in the Western Desert, and the end of the field of vision is still the yellow sand and Gobi.
The Western Desert has existed since ancient times. In that lifetime one hundred thousand years ago, Buddhism had disappeared, leaving only this desert unchanged.
Of course, after the Great Destruction, the Western Desert became even more desolate, and even traces of Buddhism were difficult to find.
That is to say, the arrival of the splendid world, which is unprecedented in all time, revealed part of the Buddhist heritage that had been buried in the long river of time.
And now, at least some Buddhist temples still remain in the Western Desert.
As far as Qin Qi could see, there was a dilapidated temple in the Gobi in the distance. Dots of Buddha's light could be vaguely seen, turning into a halo, and there was a slight sound of Sanskrit.
At that moment, Qin Qi flew over.
Now he has no clue, so he can only go and take a look first.
After getting a little closer to the temple, the small map responded, there was someone inside!
Qin Qi's eyes lit up, he accelerated his flight, and arrived outside the temple almost instantly.
This temple is indeed very dilapidated, with rubble everywhere and most of the walls collapsed. Only the main hall is still barely intact.
Qin Qi looked up and saw that the ancient characters on the plaque were mottled, but he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know what kind of Buddha was enshrined inside.
Walking into the temple, Qin Qi saw the Buddha statue. It might be an ancient Buddha, but Qin Qi didn't recognize it.
Under the Buddha statue, several green lamps were on, and an old monk sat cross-legged on a futon. Next to him was a girl, about ten years old.
She also sat cross-legged in a decent manner and was very serious, but she was obviously not as pious as the old monk and did not understand the meaning of prostrating.
When Qin Qi saw this, his heart moved slightly.
There seems to be something familiar about this little girl.
"I didn't expect that someone would come to this remote ancient temple. It's really surprising." The old monk suddenly spoke, his voice like a loud bell, which can calm ghosts and gods.
This old monk's Buddhist teachings are probably extremely profound.
However, his body is full of the aura of decay, from the body to the soul. I am afraid that he is not far away from passing away.
"I hope you won't be surprised if you come here occasionally and disturb the master's Qing Dynasty." Qin Qi bowed.
The old monk chuckled, his face full of compassion, and his Buddha nature was deeply rooted, "Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect. The donor came from afar. It is said to be accidental, but it is inevitable."
Qin Qi was startled, but didn't know how to answer.
The Buddhist method emphasizes Zen and enlightenment. Qin Qi is really not suitable for it and does not want to study it in depth.
"The so-called cause and effect, I really can't understand. I hope the master can clarify my doubts." Qin Qi sat cross-legged in front of the old monk and humbly asked for advice.
The old monk smiled, and the aura on his body became more and more peaceful. Buddha's light lit up on the back of his head, turning into circles of halo.
Qin Qi's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
The old monk waved his hands, his face still filled with compassion.
"The fate of life and death has already been determined. The donor does not need to care." The old monk smiled lightly. He was about to pass away, but he did not have any fear.
"The donor has just asked for advice on cause and effect. Unfortunately, the poor monk's Dharma is superficial and he has never been able to fully understand it. However, I think it will not be meaningless for the donor to come before the poor monk passes away."
"Buddhism emphasizes on helping others, helping oneself, and helping one's heart. I see that the donor is deeply lost, but I am willing to help the donor out of the sea of suffering." The old monk said slowly.
Qin Qi's eyes flashed, quietly waiting for the other party's next words.
The old monk glanced at the girl next to him and said, "Her home was originally an ordinary people's home, but it was robbed by bandits and displaced."
"However, our Buddha was merciful and sent down the punishment and sent those bandits to the endless hell, but she walked to the door of this temple alone."
"I think she was destined to be a Buddha, so the poor monk took her here. Now the poor monk will return to the Buddha's Kingdom in the West, and I hope the benefactor can take care of her," the old monk said.
Qin Qi looked at the girl, who was about ten years old and very good-looking.
However, although her eyes were smart, they had no focus and seemed not to see anything.
She was very quiet, sitting cross-legged like an old monk, with her hands clasped together, but she had no understanding of Buddha nature, so the so-called predestined relationship with Buddha was just talk.
Taking care of her is naturally not difficult, but Qin Qi is special and does not belong to this life.
He could only say: "This junior is willing to do his best."
"That's very good." The old monk smiled.
The Buddha's light shone brightly on his body, and his body turned into particles of light, and he was about to pass away.
Qin Qi could see that the sky outside was filled with golden Buddha light, and there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, as if the Buddha's kingdom had arrived.
Qin Qi couldn't tell any information about the old monk in front of him.
But I'm afraid, it's a Buddhist power!
The girl also knew that the old monk was about to die, so she knelt down in front of him and knocked her forehead on the ground to thank him for saving her life.
The old monk smiled and nodded, looking at Qin Qi, but his eyes suddenly turned into endless golden light.
Buddhism has always been miraculous, possessing great supernatural powers that are difficult to understand. It has research on cause and effect, life and death that other sects cannot match.
It is said that when Buddhist monks pass away, they can understand cause and effect and see through everything.
The old monk obviously wanted to check the cause and effect on Qin Qi at the moment of his death, and he wanted to cross Qin Qi and escape from the sea of suffering.
Qin Qi sat still, feeling warm all over his body. He knew that the old monk was not hostile, so he did not cover up.
Just a moment later, the old monk felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The Buddha's light disappeared from his eyes, and blood and tears immediately fell from his eyes.
"It's such a cause and effect, it's really difficult for a poor monk to be easier!" The old monk sighed, his body was like a sea of light particles, and was about to disappear.
"What did you see?" Qin Qi couldn't help but be impatient. A swastika appeared. Qin Qi wanted to use this to delay the death of the old monk.
He couldn't help the old monk, and his death was irreversible. In this case, he wanted to know the way back.
The old monk was surprised when he saw Qin Qi using the swastika, and then shook his head and said: "The cause and effect studied by Buddhism has been understood by people who are not familiar with Buddhism, but it is also ridiculed."
"That person is astonishingly talented, the best in all times and in the present, and everything he/she has set up is beyond comprehension."
"The poor monk can't help you. You can only solve everything by yourself. The only thing the poor monk can do is to help you return to where you came from. Please take this relic from the donor." The old monk sighed and finally disappeared completely.
And the light particles dispersed, and a relic appeared.
After the Buddhist great power passes away, he will turn into a relic and possess immeasurable divine power. I didn't expect that the old monk in front of me could actually do this.
Qin Qi's expression was complicated and his thoughts were still confused, but such an eminent monk was admirable.
"Thank you, Master." Qin Qi bowed to the relics, and then put away the relics.
Since the old monk said that, he probably already knows that Qin Qi does not belong to this life, and this relic can help Qin Qi go back.
All that's left is to find the egg of cause and effect.
Qin Qi shook his head. Although he was still a little confused, at least there was progress.
"What's your name?" Qin Qi looked at the little girl who was still kneeling.
