Lin Xiaofeng, Wangcai, the lawless abbot, and Fan Jie all looked towards the door of the Main Hall.
Juechen was wearing a white monk's robe. The white monk's robe looked quite shabby. Juechen's face was covered with stubble, which made him look much older. He also gave people a much calmer feeling.
"Jue Chen." Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help shouting.
He never expected that Jue Chen would suddenly appear.
After all, when he called Juechen before, Juechen even refused to come.
Jue Chen looked at Lin Xiaofeng, with a complex expression in his eyes: "Donor Lin, I am here, and the relics are just a side trip. I am just curious about your experiences in these years. I mainly came here to chat with you and reminisce. Don't get me wrong.
"
Then, Jue Chen looked at the lawless abbot and said, "Master, may I ask if that relic was obtained by a destined person?"
Fan Jie was extremely panicked. Damn it, compared to Buddha Yuan, could he be better than Jue Chen?
What kind of guy is Jue Chen?
Everyone who bows to the Buddha's shadow like Gautama Buddha.
When he saw this person appear, Fan Jie already understood that he might not be able to safely take away the relic today.
There was a brief silence in the Main Hall, and all eyes were turned to the lawless abbot.
The lawless abbot nodded slowly and said to Jue Chen, "That's right."
"In that case, let me take the relic." Juechen said confidently, as if taking the relic was just something readily available.
The lawless abbot said with a smile on his face: "Master Fanjie, Master Juechen, please come with me. Whoever can pass the test will get the relic."
Then, the lawless abbot looked back at Lin Xiaofeng and Wangcai: "The two donors can just stay here and wait."
Lin Xiaofeng nodded.
Jue Chen and Fan Jie followed behind the lawless abbot and walked towards an ancient stone pagoda behind the ancient temple.
This stone tower is not very high, but it gives people a solemn feeling.
"This is the pagoda of my ancient temple." The lawless abbot said, "When you two enter it, there will be some tests. Whoever can reach the top of the pagoda first will get the relic."
Jue Chen nodded and strode inside. The door of the pagoda slowly opened by himself, and it was pitch black inside.
Seeing this, Fan Jie hurriedly followed in, fearing that he would be left behind.
After the two of them entered the pagoda, the lawless abbot standing outside showed a profound look in his eyes.
"Amitabha."
The lawless abbot crossed his legs, sat down here, and waited.
On the other side, Lin Xiaofeng and Wangcai in the Main Hall were extremely bored.
Lin Xiaofeng looked around: "It would be too boring to let you two wait here."
Wangcai on the side said: "Who knows how they went to get the relics? Even if the two of us followed, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to help."
After all, what the lawless abbot said was to test a person's understanding of the Buddha.
It's amazing that the two of them can help.
"Keep waiting."
The two said boredly.
At this time, inside the pagoda.
After Jue Chen and Fan Jie entered it, they felt something unusual inside.
There was a vast amount of Buddhism inside that suppressed the two of them. Every step up the stairs became more difficult.
This pagoda has seven levels in total. After Fanjie reached the fifth level, he struggled to move up. He gritted his teeth before he could take a step up.
It does not depend on how strong you are, but on whether your understanding of the Dharma is sufficient.
If your understanding of Buddhism is high enough, it can be said to be an easy journey.
Jue Chen was like this, walking around freely as if there was no restraint.
Fan Jie gritted his teeth and watched Jue Chen walking up easily.
He could only calm down and slowly realize the power suppressing him in this ladder.
Although this power is suppressing him, it contains a lot of Buddhist teachings.
If you give him some time, he can always get to the top, and in the process, he can quickly comprehend the Dharma.
It is much faster to meditate on Buddhism here than outside.
Jue Chen easily reached the top of the pagoda.
He touched his bald head and reached the top floor. Suddenly, Ling Qiangwei's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jue Chen's whole body was slightly shaken.
"Qiangwei." Juechen looked at Ling Qiangwei in disbelief, his arms shaking slightly.
Feeling confused.
In the world, the only thing that can mess up Jue Chen's state of mind is Ling Qiangwei's matter.
Although Juechen has always felt that he was indifferent to the world and chose to live in seclusion, in fact, deep down in his heart, he did not really look down on the world.
It was just because of Ling Qiangwei's death that he was escaping from the mortal world.
"Illusion, this is an illusion." Juechen couldn't help but take a step back and said to himself secretly: "I've taken it lightly, I've taken it lightly!"
Ling Qiangwei just stood there, and behind her was the relic. Jue Chen could get it as long as he stepped forward and walked around Ling Qiangwei.
But he couldn't take a step.
Jue Chen clenched his fists tightly and did not even dare to look at Ling Qiangwei.
Deep down in his heart, he always believed that Ling Qiangwei's death was because of him.
If he hadn't followed Lin Xiaofeng out of the mountain and met Ling Qiangwei.
Everything that happens next may not happen.
Outside the pagoda, the lawless abbot who was meditating opened his eyes: "It seems that Master Juechen still can't overcome his inner demons. It's a pity that with his Buddhist teachings, he can break his inner demons."
"With all kinds of temptations and all kinds of obstacles, the devil of the mind is the most difficult."
A woman's voice came from behind the lawless abbot.
The lawless abbot looked back and saw the nun Lin Xiaofeng had seen at that time.
"Huixin, why are you here?" the lawless abbot asked slowly.
Speaking of which, this ancient temple is usually full of eminent monks, but Master Huixin is an exception.
Huixin was not very old. She looked at the pagoda and said, "I want to see what Master Juechen is like."
In the pagoda, Juechen was breathing heavily.
He bit the bullet, raised his head, and looked at Ling Qiangwei, thinking that as long as he bit the bullet and got the relic, it would be fine.
Thinking of this, he walked slowly over, but when he got within one meter of Ling Qiangwei.
Jue Chen finally couldn't bear it any longer. He turned around and ran away. He still didn't dare to face Ling Qiangwei. Even if it was a phantom, he couldn't face it in his heart.
He rushed down from above and ran out of the pagoda in one breath.
When he came out, he happened to bump into the lawless abbot who had just stood up.
Juechen took a few steps back, raised his head, looked at the lawless abbot, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, abbot, it seems that I still have to go back to the mountain and continue practicing so that I can truly meditate."
Looking at Jue Chen's hurried face, Abbot Lawless said, "How about I send a message to Master Jue Chen?"
