White Bone Monkey King

Jin An jumped off the roof, put down the wooden beam he was carrying on his shoulders, and looked thoughtfully at the ordinary old monk in front of him.

The other party has a very ordinary temperament, with a tall and thin figure. If he were not wearing a red monk's robe, a cockscomb hat, and holding Buddhist beads in his hand, in the eyes of others, he would be an ordinary old herdsman with rough skin due to exposure to the sun all year round.

But who would have thought that the old man in front of him was the venerable member of the most mysterious family on the plateau.

Moreover, when one's cultivation has reached the point of returning to nature, it is unfathomable and a terrifying existence in the third realm, living up to the reputation of a terrifying family.

Before Jin An took the initiative to salute and greet the venerable man, it was the venerable man who took the lead in saluting Jin An: "Jin Anima, good luck and good luck."

Jin An: "?"

Old Taoist priest: "?"

Jin An: "..."

If someone comes to the plateau for the first time, they will definitely think that the other Venerable is relying on his age and spiritual practice, and scolding Jin'an as soon as they meet. In fact, the word "Nima" in Plateau means the sun, so you can often hear "Nima" in the plateau. Mountains, NM County, and names like Nyimacuo are the taboo names of gods and have the highest status in the minds of local people.

Of course, Jin An and the old Taoist priest understood that the respected man in front of them was not cursing, on the contrary. They were surprised that the other man had an extraordinary status and unfathomable cultivation. When they met, he addressed Jin An as "Sun God" with the highest courtesy. Did you see something? Are they really old friends?

But Jin An was very sure that this was definitely the first time he saw each other.

Not to mention Jin'an and the old Taoist priests were surprised, even Master Luosang and other masters from Renzeng Temple, who heard the commotion outside and hurried to meet the Venerable, heard the Venerable's "Jin'an Nima" honorific. At that time, the shocked expression on his face was no less than the previous two.

Outsiders may not know how big the symbol of the Terrible Family, the Venerable, is in the snowy plateau. When the two are combined, they are gods and Buddhas in the eyes of the locals! It's a Bodhisattva!

Couldn't believe what they heard!

One day I will hear with my own ears that Bodhisattvas in turn address others as gods. Above Bodhisattvas, there is Buddha!

Jin An quickly lowered his stance: "Your Majesty, this gift is too heavy. At best, I am just a fledgling Taoist priest. I dare not bear such a high reputation in front of a true master like your Majesty."

Regardless of whether he upholds the virtue of respecting the elders or respecting the other person's identity and cultivation, Jin An will not be pretentious just because of a title.

The most important thing is self-knowledge.

Don't be blindly conceited and foolish.

"Sir, do you know me? Can I ask, why did you call me, uh, Jin'an Nima when we first met?" Jin'an clasped his hands in fists, the tiger's mouth intersected, and his left hand was on his right hand, which is like a yin and yang diagram. This is Taoism A person’s way of saluting.

After a brief self-introduction, Jin An finally knew the title of the Reverend, Zunzhu was the other person’s first name, Mila was the surname, and together they were Mila Zunzhu.

The Mila family has lived in seclusion for generations in the Zhumu Langma Snow Mountain, where there is the tallest and most majestic snow peak, which means the Snow Country of the Goddess and the Mother of the Earth in the Tibetan language.

The Venerable smiled kindly and said: "In Death Valley a few days ago, Jin Anima had the aura of the Mira family. I originally thought that Jin Anima was a descendant of the Mira family who had escaped, so today I specially Come to Rigzen Monastery to visit Jinanyima.”

The other party kept yelling, which made Jin An feel dizzy, but the old Taoist priest looked at Jin An in shock.

Jin An quietly glared at the old Taoist priest and told the old Taoist priest to stop making trouble. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell whether he was Han or Tibetan. How could he be a descendant of a terrible family who was left behind.

Sure enough, the Venerable looked at the Taoist robes on Jin An's body and continued with a sigh on his face: "It wasn't until I carefully confirmed Jin An's nima in person that I understood where the familiar breath that I felt in Death Valley that day came from. It came from Jin An. The Taoist robe on Nima.”

Jin An is not a dull person. As soon as he heard this, he immediately understood what was going on: "Is the Venerable talking about Master Pan Dian?"

Next, Jin An told the Venerable one by one about the trip to the desert in the Western Regions, the ruins of the Buddhist Kingdom that existed in name only, Pandian Master, and Utuk.

After listening to Jin'an's story, His Holiness first lamented the amazing adventures in Jin'an. Then he clasped his hands and sighed: "I never thought that our ancestors thousands of years ago could go so far from the snow-capped mountains and cross the snow-capped mountains and Tianshan Mountains all the way." Tianchi, grassland, desert, and finally died in the Buddhist kingdom deep in the desert, hey."

Even Master Lobsang and other eminent monks from Renzeng Temple on the side looked with regret after listening to Master Pandian, lamenting that they were not as good as Master Pandian, a selfless and dedicated ascetic monk, in terms of Buddhist practice.

After listening to the Venerable's words, Jin An was silent for a moment. Sure enough, as he thought, Master Ban Dian came from the Mira family, the most mysterious family on the plateau.

After being silent for a while, Jin An respectfully asked: "Honorable Sir, can I ask a question? What mistakes did Master Bandian make back then? Why was Master Bandian willing to spend his life practicing asceticism to atone for his mistakes?"

At this time, even the old Taoist priest and Master Luo Sang looked at him curiously.

When he learned that Jin An had such a good relationship with the Mira family, the tantric sage on the plateau looked at Jin An with more kindness and appreciation. Said Jin An: "Since Jin Anima has such a big causal relationship with the ancestors of the Mira family, she is the benefactor of my Mira family. Logically speaking, Jin Anima has good relations with the ancestors and is much older than me in terms of seniority. Sir, Jin Anima no longer needs to call me Venerable, you can directly call me by my real name, Zun Zhu."

Of course Jin An would not take credit and be arrogant, but the venerable man in front of him has the stubbornness of an old man. It can also be regarded as very traditional. He believes that the tradition of respecting elders and inferiors cannot be discarded. He cannot be like a white-eyed wolf in the snowy mountains and forget about it just because he cannot save face. He understood Jin An's kindness to the Mira family.

In the end, there was nothing he could do, so Jin An changed the title of Master Zunzhu to the other party. This not only satisfied the other party's request, but also reflected the other party's high level of Buddhism. It did not make Jin An look like he was neither big nor small. It was barely a compromise. However, the old man was too stubborn and insisted on honoring Jin Anima and never changed his words, saying that only in this way could he always remember Jin An's kindness to the Mila family.

Later, Master Zunzhu talked about the reason: "It seems to have something to do with falling in love with a female devil that she shouldn't have liked. In the end, the female devil came to the foot of the snow mountain to beg for help, and she bumped into her head and died at the foot of the snow peak mountain. What happened back then?" The situation is too complicated. No one knows the specific situation at that time, and we descendants cannot judge. However, since then, our ancestors have begun to travel far to atone for their sins. For more specific truth, we have to go back to find out the ins and outs of the matter in detail. …Hey, things were very complicated back then.”

Jin An is not the kind of person who likes to break the casserole and get to the bottom of everything. He changed the topic and asked about another matter: "Master Zunzhu, why did you call me... Jin An Nima before we met for the first time?" "

Unexpectedly, Master Zunzhu bowed to Jin'an with a serious face this time: "Because Jin'an Nima has the breath of the sun."

"When I first saw Jin Anima, I seemed to see a sun standing in front of me, so dazzling that I couldn't open my eyes."

Jin An was shocked. Master Zunzhu's cultivation was unfathomable. Could he directly see through the abnormalities in his heart?

But upon further questioning, Master Zunzhu couldn't explain why he felt that way. He just felt that looking at Jin An was like looking directly at the sun.

Next, Jin An also asked about the final battle that day in Death Valley. Even though Master Zunzhu was approachable in front of Jin An, as amiable as an elder next door, when it came to people who had nothing to do with Jin An, he finally had something to show for himself. Showing the strength and tyranny of a respected person in this world, he spoke in a calm tone but said a surprising result: "The two elders from Tianzhu fled all the way back to Tianzhu, and I wiped out the thirteen countries including the Corpse Slave Kingdom along the way."

Jin An was speechless after hearing this.

Seeing Master Zunzhu being so harmonious for so long, I almost forgot that the person in front of me was a powerful man in the Venerable Realm who had returned to his original nature and whose cultivation was incomprehensible.

It was rare to meet an expert in the third realm this time. He missed an opportunity last time in Death Valley. Jin An must seize this opportunity this time. After exchanging pleasantries, he began to humbly ask for advice on his experience in breaking through to the third realm. , and his reflections on temporarily ascending to the third realm several times.

In the following days, Jin An's views on spiritual practice have made rapid progress, and he has gained deeper insights every day.

However, Khenpo of Renzin Temple has not woken up. Even Master Zunzhu said after checking that Khenpo could not be awakened for the time being. Khenpo can only see through the illusion of the world. If he can personally survive this calamity and walk through the sea of ​​suffering to reach the other shore, he will gain the right A deeper understanding of Buddhism will benefit you throughout your life and make great progress in your cultivation.

…

…

The time spent immersed in spiritual practice always passes quickly. Before I knew it, I had already lived in Renzeng Temple for almost a month. Jin An benefited a lot from this period of time.

On this day, the renovation of Renzeng Temple was finally completed and it looked brand new. It was also the day of farewell in Jin'an. Renzeng Temple could not be disturbed all the time.

Master Luo Sang saw that he could not keep Jin An, so he asked Jin An about his next plan.

Jin An: "The old Taoist priest and I originally planned to return directly to the Five Zang Taoist Temple in Kangding Kingdom along Shugu after visiting Renzeng Temple. However, this time about the Blackstone clan, several major tribes on the plateau gave me timely help, so I plan to After visiting several major tribes, we went directly back to Wuzhou Prefecture along the Ancient Tea Horse Road."

After hearing Jin An's next itinerary, Master Zunzhu said with a smile: "The Mila family has not been born for many years. It just so happened that I was going to several major tribes to discuss some matters with several clan leaders, and Jin Anima was traveling with me. ."

Jin An was naturally extremely happy.

It just so happens that you can continue to seek advice and practice experience along the way.

The reason why he wanted to leave this time was because he felt embarrassed that he kept asking Master Zunzhu about this and that, which took up Master Zunzhu too much time.

Next, he will visit several major tribes and will have to travel for several months. This precious time is so important to him.

At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to Master Zunzhu. How could he not see that Master Zunzhu did not need to go with him. He offered to go with him this time because he was taking care of him. How could he not be grateful? .

…

After seeing each other off on the mountain road for more than ten miles, before leaving, Master Luo Sang suddenly called to Jin An: "Taoist Master Jin An."

Jin An turned around curiously: "Does anything else happen to Master Luo Sang?"

Master Luo Sang smiled and looked at Jin An: "Don't let Mr. Yiyun be sad for too long. I look forward to seeing Taoist Jin An and Mr. Yiyun come to Renzeng Temple together next time."

Even Master Luo Sang, a tantric monk who had been practicing in seclusion in a Buddhist temple, saw the subtle changes between Master Yiyun and Jin An.
