The two talked and laughed and entered the interior of the Zen courtyard.
There are few tourists in this place, and all you can see on the road are monks and laymen, and the black arhat took him to the backyard, where the monks practiced.
There is a separate small courtyard with a huge osmanthus tree, and in autumn September, the bluestone bricks are sprinkled with osmanthus flowers.
"This is the dormitory where my master lives." The black arhat spoke, "In the past, he was the host for many years, but now he comes to the new temple for retreat, and every day he sits in his room and meditates, and he has not eaten for many days.
Lin Jue's eyebrows jumped: "If you don't eat, won't you die?" Shouldn't your master really be an old monster who has lived for two hundred years?
"Hahaha, this really can't be verified. But the old man was really fighting, and I had fought with him, and I couldn't even see what he was doing. And now that he has cultivated the skill of opening the valley, he can live without eating. Ordinary humans can't do this.
After the black arhat finished speaking, he walked up and knocked on the door, and said to the people inside: "Old man, my friend Lin Jue has come to see you." The
two pushed the door directly and entered the house.
The furnishings inside the house are particularly simple, with a Buddha statue on the front, but nothing else, spotlessly clean.
Just as he was looking around the room, an old voice came from the cubicle.
"This little friend, please come in. Apprentice, you don't have to come in, go out and guard outside the door, don't let outsiders disturb our conversation.
The black arhat stopped speechlessly, but still walked to the door obediently, acting as a gatekeeper: "You guys talk slowly, if there is anything, just call me."
Lin Jue walked into the compartment and saw a thin old monk sitting cross-legged on the tuanpu.
He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Lin Jue, and then nodded with a smile: "Young man, you should have a lot of questions." I'm in a good mood today, and if you want to ask anything, you can say it directly. Lin
Jue saw that this old man's figure did not look like a person who could knock the black arhat down with one move, judging by his appearance, he was at least eighty years old.
If it wasn't for the black arhat lying, it was this old man, far from being as simple as it seemed.
"Teacher, take the liberty to ask, you have a high birthday this year?" Lin Jue said.
The Guanzhen monk suddenly got up, took out an old photo album from the bookshelf in the room, and handed it to him.
Lin Jue opened it, there were actually photos of the old monk from different periods, and the earliest one was in 1900, and the blurry black and white photo of him looked almost exactly the same as he is now.
There are many other photos in the album, the background changes according to different eras, and the old monks in the photos, without exception, have not changed much.
There are even a few photos of him and historical celebrities, which are enough to prove that the Guanzhen monk has indeed lived for a long time.
"I was born in a small mountain village in the south, and when I was a child, my family was very poor and could not afford to raise so many children, and my parents sent me to a nearby temple to become a monk in order to keep me alive, and I grew up in the temple.
When I was seven years old, I was almost killed by wild dogs preying on me in the mountains, but a mysterious Taoist elder rescued me, saying that I was related to him and giving me a talisman. He said that if I could solve the mystery of the amulet, I would be able to obtain supreme power. When
the Guanzhen monk said this, he took out a black crescent-shaped stone, and sure enough, it was a talisman of the mountain god senior.
It seems that the Taoist Elder he met at that time was the senior of the mountain god.
"I accidentally activated the power of this talisman, the space inside is a blessed earth cave heaven, and there is a cultivation secret book suitable for me, relying on it, my lifespan is much longer than ordinary people, but the spiritual energy in the space is limited, allowing me to live to two hundred years old, which is already the limit. These days, I can get a hunch that my life is coming to an end.
When Guan Zhen said this, his expression was as usual, without the slightest sadness.
Lin Jue took his talisman and looked at it, and found that the aura inside this talisman was pitifully small compared to his space.
According to the description of the Guanzhen monk, there were no spiritual springs and other treasures in his space, only a cultivation secret book.
It seems that the mountain god senior is indeed right, and each of the nine talismans he gave is different.
Like Lin Jue, the one who can have both the Spirit Spring and the Palace may be the only one.
"Teacher, that ancient knife was buried under the stupa by you?" Lin Jue suddenly asked.
The Guanzhen monk nodded: "Not bad." The original owner of the ancient knife used it to kill many innocent people, resulting in a lot of anger attached to this knife. I pressed it under the stupa, hoping to purify it slowly with time. Unexpectedly, after the demolition of the temple, the ancient knife was taken away by others.
"Actually, that knife is now in my hand, and the anger on the knife has been purified by me." Lin Jue's heart moved, and he took out the knife from the space.
The Guanzhen monk's expression was shocked, and when he noticed that the knife in Lin Jue's hand was filled with peaceful aura, he was even more surprised.
This young man was actually able to purify the qi on the knife, and he seemed to have a mysterious space.
The monk Guanzhen laughed three times and said, "Haha, sure enough, asking the apprentice to call you here is the right decision. Young man, you are really hidden, even I can't purify the ancient knife, how did you do it?
"Accident, pure accident." Lin Jue said perfunctorily, "Teacher, the talisman in your hand, seeing that it has lost its aura, can you give it to me?" I use this knife and exchange it with you.
"Take it if you want." The aura in the talisman is exhausted, and it is no longer worthless. The old monk waved his hand and generously gave him something.
Lin Jue also put away the stone unceremoniously, but he couldn't take it in vain, took out a bottle of his latest pill, and handed it to him: "This is the longevity pill I made, eating some is useful for the body." The
old monk didn't take the pill he gave seriously, until he opened the cap of the bottle and smelled a medicinal fragrance, which was taken aback.
"This pill contains a rich aura! Young man, now that the earth's spiritual energy is thin, you can't find the medicinal materials rich in spiritual energy at all, how did you make this magical elixir? The old monk was impressed by Lin Jue, but he didn't expect that this young man was a big guy.
"Haha, allow me to keep some secrets." Lin Jue didn't intend to explain too much, got up and prepared to leave, "Master, then I'll go first."
"Wait! Could it be the owner of the other amulets in the mouth of your Dao Chief, if so, I have something that must be given to you!" The old monk said excitedly.
