White Bone Monkey King

That night.

The night was dark.

The rain from the sky continued to fall.

At the Taoist temple after nightfall, the eldest lady had been away for some time.

Jin An, the old Taoist priest, Xiejian, and a goat that looked like a calf were left in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple.

In the end, Jin An agreed to go down to the Yinyi River to find the Dragon King. Since this matter was related to the group of antique dealers, how could he be absent.

As long as it can ruin these people's plans.

He was happy for the dog to go along with the situation.

He asked the eldest lady to help him recommend it to Lord Fu Yin, and then the eldest lady left and asked him to wait for news.

Jin An sat on the bed, meditating quietly, exhaling and inhaling. Jin An felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, as if his body was lighter than a leaf.

The body is light.

Jin An was out of his body. He turned around and saw that on the bed behind him, he was still sitting in a cross-legged meditating posture.

Jin An's soul wandered around the room.

Since he improved in spiritual martial arts, his spirit has been able to float freely at night.

Looking at the continuous drizzle outside the house, Jin An's eyes moved, and his mind drifted towards the outer wall, and people passed through the wall easily.

It was raining in the world outside the wall.

Didi-da-da-

The rainwater flows along the eaves and hits the ground like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.

Jin An continued to float outside the eaves, and all the rainwater penetrated his body.

Just when Jin An was enjoying playing in the water, suddenly, click! Boom!

A bolt of lightning split the sky, and the thunderbolt was deafening and deafening. This was a murderous intention from heaven. If placed in the myth of Zhiguai, it means that a villain is in charge at the moment.

Jin An, who was playing in the rain just now, was almost shaken by the thunder. He was confused, confused, and had a headache.

Jin An understands.

He was shocked.

If he was frightened again, even if he didn't die, he would still be in despair. His three souls and seven souls would be completely frightened.

Jin An didn't dare to make excuses. He endured the unexplained and uncomfortable feeling, and his soul quickly floated into the room, and then took off three yellow talismans from his palm.

It was the Liuding Liujia Talisman that was sealed three times, the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman that was sealed three times, and the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman that was sealed once.

Until the twelve divine auras on the Liuding Liujia Talisman reflected throughout his soul, warming and nourishing his soul over and over again. After about half an hour, Jin An's soul returned to its peak, and he was once again full of energy.

There are twelve righteous gods in Liuding and Liujia, divided into Liuding Yin God and Liujia Yang God. They can grow strong and warm the body when they are in the Yang world, and they can grow strong and warm the soul when they are in the Yin world.

Jin An is now alive again, his mental thinking is no longer slow, confused, and unexamined. He has regained his clarity of will and begins to think about what happened to the thunder just now.

Why did God give him a thunderbolt as soon as he came out of his body?

This means that God is watching what people do, and there is nothing wrong with being a villain.

Jin An felt that this must be a coincidence.

This reminded him that before the soul was strong enough, wind, rain, thunder and lightning were the most taboo for the soul to leave the body.

Next, carrying three yellow talismans, he once again walked through the wall and stood in the yard. He waited for about a while while burning incense. This time, no thunder fell.

Waited for another stick of incense.

All is calm.

The world was so quiet that only the patter of rain and the dripping of water on the eaves were heard.

Jin An pondered for a moment, and carrying three yellow talismans, he began to patrol the Five Zang Taoist Temple.

The merit hall that has not yet been repaired is normal.

The Five Thunder Emperor Palace is normal.

Liuding Liujia Martial Arts Temple is normal.

Sanqing Palace is normal.

To be honest, after Jin An's soul left his body, he was not very used to entering the Sanqing Palace. There is a god three feet above his head. I don’t know if he, a fake Taoist priest, feels guilty in front of the Taoist Three Pure Saints.

In the Sanqing Hall, in addition to the statues of Sanqing gods standing facing the main entrance, there is also a small side hall guarding the Sanqing saints.

That statue is the founder of Wu Zang Taoism.

The ancestor's immortal spirit.

Misty fairy.

In order to cover up his guilty conscience in the Sanqing Hall, Jin An began to patrol the Five Zang Taoist Temple up and down, inside and outside, every nook and cranny, just like a king patrolling the mountain. Same as urine. After seeing nothing unusual, he came out of the Five Zang Taoist Temple.

He floated around the Wu Zang Taoist Temple and saw that there was nothing unusual around him. Then he released his speed and floated towards Jia Mansion at full speed.

According to the eldest lady's account during the day, the attic in Jia's residence covered with yellow charms to ward off evil spirits was the boudoir of a young lady in Jia's residence.

The rich lady's name is Jia Zhidie.

Jia Zhidie had an outstanding appearance and was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was a famous beauty in Fucheng, and was the daughter of the Jia family, one of the three major medicinal merchants. Therefore, the young talent who pursued Jia Zhidie in Fucheng, the young master, Young gentlemen, there is an endless stream.

The threshold of Jia's house was almost trampled to pieces.

pity.

God is jealous of beauty.

A few years ago, Jia Zhidie accidentally fell into the water while taking a boat trip on the river, and her body was not found.

The body of the eldest daughter of the Jia family has not yet been found.

In the first few days after Jia Zhidie fell into the water and drowned, strange things happened one after another in the Jia family. In the attic where Jia Zhidie lived, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard faintly at night, as if some family was holding a wedding, and there was a lot of noise. , as if there were hundreds of wedding banquet tables in the small attic, entertaining guests.

This matter went on for several days.

Every time I opened the door to check, the sound disappeared again.

There was no one alive in the room, not even a ghost.

After a few days of tossing like this, the Jia family lived in fear every day and could not sleep at night. It was obviously a funeral, but someone held a happy event in the daughter's room. I heard that the old and old ladies of the Jia family were very angry at that time. I fell down, and I suspected that an enemy was secretly causing trouble.

Later, the two elders asked an expert to seal the attic. There was a wedding banquet in the attic at night, and then it stopped.

But they have never found out who is behind the scenes.

This incident was a big blow to the Jia family at that time, and it also made the Jia family very taboo. However, the funeral turned into a happy event, and the yin and yang were reversed. This is a big taboo for the living people who are still living in the world of the world. In addition, they were afraid that if this matter spread out, it would insult Jia Zhidie's reputation. Therefore, the Jia family concealed the matter and issued a hush-hush order to the entire family.

All the servants and servants who knew about it were assigned to other places. The servants and servants who were there were scattered and scattered, and they were no longer in the city.

It took a lot of effort for the eldest lady to find out the secrets of that year.

It can only be said that all gentry and gentry with big families and great businesses attach great importance to the reputation of their family and are worried about being criticized verbally and writtenly by their peers.

Sometimes it can kill people even if they are heart-wrenching!

The Jia family's residence.

When Jin'an's soul floated here, he began to observe the Jia family. The Jia family had a Feng Shui bureau set up by an expert to protect Yangzhai.

Block evil spirits and wild gods.

The living people in Baoyang House are safe.

Jin An, who has been awarded the Yellow Talisman three times, is naturally not really afraid of the Yangzhai Feng Shui Bureau, but he and the Jia family do not have any deep hatred.

If the Jia family's feng shui bureau is really broken.

Just add a cause and effect.

It can even hurt innocent people.

So he mainly came here tonight to take a closer look at Jia Zhidie's attic.

Jin An's spirit began to float higher and higher.

Looking down from a high place on the vast land below.

The higher the spirit floats, the denser the turbid air in the sky becomes. There are even winds howling wildly, and the temperature is cold. Every inch higher the spirit becomes more difficult.

Finally, Jin An was about ten feet above the ground and had a bird's eye view of the Jia family's entire family.

This is not his limit, but it is no longer necessary to go higher. It will only increase the loss of his soul and will not be beneficial to him.

Jia Zhidie's attic is located in the west corner. The lights there are dark and there is no smell of people.

Even the surrounding pavilions within a few feet were deserted and uninhabited.

It seems to have become a forbidden area that no one dares to touch, and the living people retreat.

Anything related to Jia Zhidie is taboo in the Jia family.

Jin An frowned.

In fact, after listening to the eldest lady's words during the day, he and the old Taoist priest both suspected that after Jia Zhidie fell into the water and drowned, she was holding a wedding banquet and having a bridal chamber every night in the boudoir. She should have been killed by the Dragon King for his beauty, and then became the Dragon Palace. The Water Goddess in it?

So those days of noisy night and day, beating of gongs and drums, were actually the Dragon King coming to welcome the bride?

…

…

the next day.

On this day, an old monk came outside the gate of Fucheng.

The old monk was holding a Zen staff and wearing a cassock. He came to Fucheng alone.

The old monk has a childlike face with a crane beard, and a long beard hanging down on his chest. He looks like he is eighty or ninety years old, but he is still strong and strong. His legs and feet move like the wind, and his eyes hide the profound and wonderful light of the Buddha's teachings.

The old monk looked a little tired. He must have traveled all the way to Fucheng, but his cassock was still spotless and clean.

This old monk is a master of Buddhism.

When the eminent monk came to the city gate, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city. The eminent monk handed over his ultimatum with a kind and gentle look.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw the identity information on the certificate, they were so frightened that they saluted in a panic.

"It turns out that he is an eminent monk from Zhenguo Temple. I hope that the eminent monk will forgive us brothers for their rude collision. Master Huizhen, please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."

The soldier said in fear.

Zhenguo Temple.

That is the largest temple from the northern capital, and it is the holy place of Buddhism in the eyes of the Buddha.

we can even say.

There are so many Buddhist temples and Buddhas in Kangding Kingdom, and it is their lifelong pursuit to be able to enter Zhenguo Temple and comprehend higher Buddhist teachings.

The eminent monk chanted a Buddhist chant, "Amitabha, donor, you're welcome. You and I are all citizens of the Kangding Kingdom. We should abide by the laws of the Kangding Kingdom. You, the donor, are also responsible. It is natural for you to interrogate every passerby."

"Master Huizhen, you are an eminent monk from Zhenguo Temple. Did you come to our city in Wuzhou this time because the Dragon King case has spread to the capital, and Zhenguo Temple specially sent an eminent monk to help us investigate the Dragon King case?"

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw that the eminent monk in front of them was very talkative and compassionate, so they boldly asked Master Huizhen about the purpose of coming to the city this time.

"Amitabha."

"I heard a little bit about the Dragon King case on the road. I believe Lord Fu Yin will handle the folk affairs properly."

"Lao Na came to Fucheng this time mainly to go to Bailong Temple to meet old friends and do some things."

The eminent monk said.

The soldiers guarding the city gate heard that Master Huizhen still had something important to do, and did not dare to stop him. Finally, under his respectful escort, the eminent monk known as Master Huizhen, leaning on his Zen staff, walked all the way to Baidu, the only short mountain in the city. Walk in the direction of Long Temple.

After passing through several cities, Master Huizhen passed by the stone cow with camel coffin placed in the city, and people stopped.

"Is this the stone ox that Wuzhou Prefecture said was salvaged from the Yinyi River, a relic of the predecessor who failed to solve the corpse?"

Master Huizhen stopped for a long, long time.

There was regret in his eyes.

Some lamented that fate plays tricks on people.

Very sad.

Finally, he clasped his hands towards Stone Niu and sighed lowly: "The world is a big sea of ​​suffering, and all living beings are drowning. Even the seniors cannot escape, and the young monk will eventually drown in this sea of ​​suffering due to exhaustion. inside."

Passers-by around him frequently looked sideways at the old monk who was saluting a stone cow, but Master Huizhen paid no attention to the secular gaze. After he continued to salute, he picked up the stainless steel Zen staff that was on the side, turned around and left, heading straight towards the white statue. Go in the direction of Long Temple.

After Master Huizhen left, passers-by approached and were surprised to see a hole on the hard stone pavement where Master Huizhen originally stood. The hole was a finger deep.

This hole is exactly where the Zen staff and pestle stood just now.

Only then did everyone realize that they had just met an eminent monk, and the crowd was excited. When they thought of looking for the departing eminent monk, they found that people were coming and going in the market, and the eminent monk had already disappeared from the crowd.

They were left regretting why they had not established a relationship with the eminent monk just now.

The Bailong Temple on the short hill of Fucheng is resplendent and magnificent, just like the trees in the forest. All the people in the city can admire the Buddha's teachings as long as they raise their heads.

When Master Huizhen came to the foot of the mountain, the incense believers here were busy and there was an endless flow of people.

At the foot of the mountain there were cries, shouts, and the sounds of urchins running around chasing each other.

Among the hawkers were those selling incense and candles, some selling dandan noodles, some selling pastries, some selling vegetarian buns, some selling masks, candied haws and other things for children to eat and play...

The foothills of Bailong Temple are bustling with traffic and people, making it one of the liveliest and most prosperous areas in Fucheng. Many monks were even seen going in and out of shops to collect rent.

This large street market at the foot of Bailong Temple Mountain is the industry of Bailong Temple.

Seeing the bustle in front of the Buddhist temple, Master Huizhen frowned.

Buddhism is a place of purity.

This careless businessman and philistine face disturbed the peace of the Buddha and made the monks in the Buddhist temple have no time to calm down and cultivate the Buddha's Dharma and Buddha's heart.

I'm afraid that all the Buddha's heart is in the eyes of money.

"Since I entered the Chengguo Temple in the capital to meditate on higher Buddhism, I have been separated for more than ten spring and autumn years. The current Bailong Temple is no longer the Bailong Temple that I was familiar with more than ten years ago. Today's Bailong Temple has changed. It smells like copper."

Master Huizhen looked at the monks collecting rent from each shop, shook his head and sighed, simply out of sight, he climbed up the stairs, stepping on the stone steps, climbing to the Bailong Temple on the top of the mountain.

Bailong Temple occupies a large area and is built in a majestic and grand manner. The tall pavilions with yellow walls and golden tiles are like palaces, exquisite and exquisite.

Those gold tiles are shining with golden light in the sun, as if they have arrived at the legendary Buddhist palace where gold is everywhere.

Mortal mortals are shocked at the first sight and feel the majestic momentum. People are baptized under the light of Buddha, everything is emptied, and they marvel at the wonder of heaven and earth.

People can't help but feel admiration and worship, as if they have really arrived at the holy land of Buddhism.

The so-called gold tiles are made of polished copper sheets, and there are also tiles in which the copper sheets are covered with gold foil or red gold. Under the eaves of the gold-tiled roof, there are also hanging treasure plates, cloud patterns, magic bells and other objects to ward off evil and avoid evil.

This building with a golden tile roof is also called "Golden Dome" in Buddhism.

Also called "Buddha's Light".

Buddha's light shines everywhere.

Save all sentient beings.

The world is a sea of ​​suffering.

Everyone is a drowning person.

Everyone wants to jump out of the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other side of the heart.

Therefore, the deeper the worldly obsession, the deeper people are in the sea of ​​suffering, the more they worship ghosts and gods and the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

It is still daytime, and the incense burners in Bailong Temple are very strong. In front of the incense burners in various main halls, small halls, and squares, there are people who come here to burn incense, worship Buddha, and pray for blessings. Female relatives, scholars, laymen, princes, country squires, and more ordinary people. them.

Even the plaque on Bailong Temple has large gilt characters. It makes sense that the incense of Bailong Temple can last forever.

Before Master Huizhen entered the White Dragon Temple, he was stopped by the monk guarding the gate of the White Dragon Temple: "I wonder what the name of this master is?"

"Which monastery does it come from?"

"Are you visiting me at Bailong Temple this time to look for someone or have something to do? If you are looking for someone, may there be an invitation or letter for the visit?"

The monk was very polite.

There is no arrogance or neglect.

Master Huizhen saw that he was stopped outside the temple door, so he took out the official certificate from his cassock and handed it to the other monk: "When I became a monk in Bailong Temple, my dharma name was Huizhen."

"Huizhen?" The monk looked suspicious.

"Have any of you heard of it?"

"I've never heard of this senior's name in the temple."

"Have not heard."

"I haven't heard of it either."

Listening to the conversation of several junior monks in front of him, Master Huizhen’s meditation Buddha heart began to ripple: “Amitabha, as expected, things have changed and people have changed. After more than ten years, no one recognizes me as an old monk. Unexpectedly, ten years later, If you go back home after a few years, you will be turned away.”

The wanderer returns home.

But he couldn't even enter the house.

Master Huizhen’s words can’t express the pain, but the emotion.

Although the monks in front of them didn't know who Huizhen was, they all knew how to read. When they saw the words "Zhenguo Temple" on the official certificate, they were all shocked.

Someone immediately ran into Bailong Temple. Not long after, the people who came to Bailong Temple to offer incense saw that they had never seen each other in Bailong Temple to ask for fortune-telling and fortune-telling. A group of eminent monks who usually lived in seclusion were holding in their hands. With his cassock at the hem, he hurried out of Bailong Temple with an expression of ecstasy.

Then under the surprised and stunned eyes, the common people saw that all the eminent monks in Bailong Temple went out to greet an old monk respectfully.

In the end, the old monk was greeted by the senior monks of Bailong Temple all the way to the private residence in the temple, shutting out the people who were watching the excitement.

Private restricted area, outsiders are strictly prohibited from intruding.

Bailong Temple is built like a small palace. Along the way Master Huizhen walked, you can see carved beams and painted buildings and white marble everywhere. It is grand and majestic. Bailong Temple is extremely rich.

"Junior Brother Huizhen, among all our brothers and sisters back then, you were the only one with the highest Buddha nature among us. You were the only one who entered the Huguo Temple in the capital to practice intensively and profoundly in Buddhism."

"On the contrary, we brothers, who are not good at Buddhism and cannot completely cut off the dust roots, have stayed in the Bailong Temple in this city all our lives. The oil has dried up and the lamp has dried up. The old wind and the candle are old and the candle is dead. In the same year There are more than thirty people who have ordained or become monks and entered Bailong Temple, and now there are only a few of us left... Alas, time flies by, time makes people grow old, and we can no longer accept aging."

The speaker was an old monk, whose legs and feet were a little unsteady when he walked.

The face is covered with black and gray age spots.

It is estimated that the oil is exhausted and the life is approaching.

"No wonder Senior Brother Huizhen back then was willing to give up even the abbot. Senior Brother Huizhen back then had already had great ambitions, and his ambition was not to live in the remote Wuzhou Prefecture." This time the speaker was an old monk with a slightly hunchback name. .

"Jingcheng Guo Temple has countless Buddhist scriptures and wonderful scriptures. It is a holy place that countless Buddhist disciples yearn for. Senior Brother Huizhen was the first person among us brothers in wisdom to be able to go to Jingcheng Guo Temple to continue to practice Buddhism and Buddha nature. , It’s not surprising at all. It’s just that after more than ten years of separation, it has become increasingly inconvenient to send letters. I wonder how advanced Brother Huizhen’s Buddhist practice has become now?”

Another old monk from Bailong Temple said, his voice was rougher, and he was also the youngest among the old monks present. But even the youngest one is already in his seventies.

After wandering around the private residence of Bailong Temple, the group came to a Zen room and sat down one after another.

Master Huizhen dealt with everyone's problems one by one with a kind face.

In fact, these people are not his master and brothers.

They were the same group of people who became ordained and entered the Bailong Temple together in the same year.

But as time goes by, all the old friends have died, and only a few of them are left.

"Where are junior brothers Huiyan and Huichi? Why don't I see my two junior brothers greeting me?" Master Huizhen looked around at the old monks surrounding him and asked doubtfully.

Hui Yan and Hui Chi were his junior brothers who had the same master as him.

None of his fellow juniors came out to greet him.

On the contrary, people from other halls came out to greet him ecstatically.

"Junior brother Huizhen, you are here at an unlucky time. Junior brothers Hui Yan and Hui Chi happen to be in the barrier of life and death because their time is approaching, and they want to break through the realm."

Several old monks explained.

At this time, these old monks, together with a large group of disciples and disciples, numbering dozens of people, welcomed the return of Master Huizhen in a grand manner, interrupting Master Huizhen's thoughts. Master Huizhen responded to those questions one by one. Respectful greetings from the juniors.

"Chan Yuan, come here, I have met your Master Huizhen." The old monk with age spots on his face raised his hand and waved to the crowd while introducing his disciples.

"Junior Brother Huizhen, this Chanyuan is my close disciple. Hahaha, I see you in Chanyuan back then. You are equally gifted and profound in Buddha nature. His ability to understand Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures is better than ours." Several old monks who are hundreds of years old together are more knowledgeable. They are born to be beautiful jade suitable for practicing Sakyamuni Buddhism."

"Haha, it should be said that Zen is far more outstanding than Junior Brother Huizhen's talent when you were young. He is born with the heart of the Three Lotuses Buddha, has three hearts in his body, is born with divine power, and has vast Buddhist dharma. So I gave him the name of Zen Far away, I, as a disciple, am destined to walk the Buddhist path farther than us frail old monks, to find the other side of my Buddha."

This monk named Chanyuan is very young.

He is about twenty years old and has a calm demeanor.

His skin is bronze, with a slight topaz texture, like amber jade. His body is strong and strong, and his strong body is full of amazing strength. He is not fair and clean like ordinary monks, with fat heads and big ears. From this look, he is practicing Kung Fu. Awesome monk.

But he has a graceful demeanor, his eyes are like stars, and his forehead is bright as if there is Buddha light shining faintly under his bronze skin. He does not look like an ordinary warrior monk, but a Buddhist monk with Buddha light hidden in his eyes. He has practiced Buddhism to a profound and mysterious realm.

Chanyuan handed him a cup of filial piety tea.

Master Huizhen took the tea and took a sip: "It is indeed the most beautiful jade in the world."

At this time, the younger and more energetic old monk asked curiously: "Senior Brother Huizhen came all the way from the capital to Wuzhou Mansion. Why is it that only Senior Brother Huizhen came?"

"I wonder why Senior Brother Huizhen came to Bailong Temple this time?"
