With the cultivation base of the second level of the Buddhist realm, and knowing his own strength, even in the face of some ferocious beasts, he can still kill them.

So, you searched in the mountains, trying to find some small animals as your own lunch.

After searching for several hours, you are surprised to find that there is not a single wild animal on this mountain, not to mention tigers, leopards and jackals, but hares, squirrels, snakes, and such common animals.

You have come to the spring where you draw water every day.

The spring water here is very sweet and extremely clear, and has formed a large lake.

Normally, the fish in this kind of water quality are the most delicious.

You took off your monk's robe, jumped into the lake, swam around, and finally landed unwillingly, your complexion was extremely ugly.

Because, in the entire small lake, there is not a single fish.

There are no beasts in the mountains and no fish in the water. Even if these two situations are not superimposed, it will make people feel unbelievable. What's more, here, the two things are superimposed.

"It must be related to the suppression of the demons under the temple."

You directly came to a conclusion, so you didn't think about it, and went back to the temple directly.

At midnight, you and Xu Kong had already finished their fast and were chanting scriptures in the main hall. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the temple.

You look at the void at the same time and find that it is Xu Zang who has returned.

It's just that Xu Zang's appearance is somewhat disgraced, and the originally clean yellow monk's robe is now full of holes, torn into strips, and covered with stains.

"Brother Xuzang, what's wrong with you??"

You couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

When Xu Zang heard the words, he was embarrassed at first, and then said helplessly.

"Junior Brother Xudu, the nearby villages are too poor..."

It turned out that when Xu Zang went out this morning, he was full of confidence. He had practiced Buddhism for many years, so he already knew how to show his holiness in front of people.

Moreover, Xu Zang's cultivation level is not low at all, it is easy to fool ordinary people. .

However, when Xu Zang came to the nearest village, Xu Zang was dumbfounded. What's the situation? In a huge village, there are only a dozen families, and every family is old, weak, sick and disabled.

Many people don't even have any clothes, so they hide their shame by wearing grass skirts.

Seeing Xu Zang enter the village, a group of children who were very well-dressed immediately surrounded him, all of them opened their eyes wide and looked at Xu Zang eagerly. .

Xu Zang was very helpless, so he gave the few copper coins he had been promoted to these children.

Only then did he successfully leave the village.

Afterwards, Xu Zang went to several nearby villages one after another, without exception, all of them were in the same situation.

As for his clothes, when he was in a village, he was surrounded by a group of children who said they wouldn't let him go, and then even came up and tore them up, which made him so embarrassed.

As a monk, Xu Zang, even though he had Vajra's glaring eyes, he really couldn't do it to a bunch of children.

In this way, Xu Zang escaped from the village in a very embarrassing situation, and returned to the temple helplessly.

Seeing Xu Zang's appearance, Xu Kong was not surprised at all. He had already thought of this result when Xu Zang went out in the morning. In the past, he also wanted to go to a nearby village for alms.

However, after going there a few times, Kong Kong gave up this idea for no other reason, these people are too poor. .

The villages here are all honest farmers. However, there are no wild animals on the mountains here, and there are no fish in the water. Even the food planted, the income is very bad.

When encountering a bad year, it is even more fruitless.

In this way, if it continues, whoever has spare money can donate it to the temple.

Today, the maintenance of the operation of the temple depends entirely on some big families from far away, who come to the temple to offer incense and worship during the festivals.

Obviously, Xu Kong still has some scheming intentions, specially making Xu Zang suffer.

. . .

"On the eighth day, you continue to carry water as usual. Beside the stream, you happen to see an eight-carried sedan chair, which is slowly driving up the mountain. There is only one temple on this mountain. You can imagine it. It is the rich family who came to offer incense, as Xu Kong said."

Your walking speed is obviously faster than the bearers, so after fetching water, you returned to the temple early and said to the void.

"Brother Xu Kong, a sedan chair came down from the mountain, it should be the pilgrim from the rich family you mentioned."

When Kong Kong heard this, he immediately regained his spirits. Seeing that the temple was about to run out of rice to cook, the pilgrims who came at this time naturally wanted to be warmly entertained.

So Kong Kong hastily put out some props, and told you not to do anything excessive.

Since you are also meeting pilgrims up the mountain for the first time, you did not continue to carry water, but waited for the arrival of pilgrims in the temple.

Not long after, a large sedan chair with eight carriages slowly stopped at the gate of the temple, the curtain of the sedan chair was pulled open, and a middle-aged man wearing a green official uniform and an official hat came down.

You look at the face of this middle-aged man, and you can't help but feel a little confused. This guy is not a good person at first glance. With the gloomy aura and unique temperament on his body, people can tell at a glance that this is a man. bad guy.

Bad guys come to the temple to offer incense? No matter how you think about it, it makes you a little strange.

"Haha, Master Kongkong, I, Li Gang, have come to worship the Buddha, huh? Is there another master?"

Li Gang was obviously taken aback when he saw you. He also came to this temple often and knew the environment here very well.

"Benefactor Li, you're being polite. This is my junior brother, and the dharma name is in vain."

Void hurriedly explained.

"So it's Master Xudu, I'm being polite."

Li Gang didn't look down on you in any way just because you are a junior, instead he saluted you very respectfully.

Naturally, you can't take it too seriously, so you returned a salute.

"Junior Brother Xudu, this benefactor Li is a great benevolent person and also our local parent official. In the past few years, he often comes to our temple to offer incense, donate some incense money, and donate some clothes. He is a person who sincerely worships the Buddha."

You suddenly realize that the official master of feelings is still the food and clothing of this small temple of yours, no wonder you look at the void so solemnly.

Xukong took you and led Li Gang to the main hall, and saw Li Gang sincerely kneeling in front of the Guanyin statue, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

Then he kowtowed respectfully and inserted the three long incense sticks into the incense burner.

At this moment, you saw a ray of light flashing from the jade bottle in your hand on the Avalokitesvara statue, directly entering Li Gang's body.

Your eyes suddenly lit up, and you never thought that in this world, you can actually be protected by Bodhisattvas when you come to temples to give alms.

However, before your surprise is over, you see a ray of green light appearing on Li Gang again.

"This aura seems to be, monster aura??"
