The ancient temple is hidden deep in the mountains, and the fairy palace is covered by smoke and clouds. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

Halfway up the mountainside to the northwest of Wuxuan Mountain, where the white clouds emerge from the Xiu Mountain, there is an ancient temple on a barren mountain. At this time, there were several people standing in front of the temple who were in a hurry and looked quite embarrassed.

"May I ask if there is anyone in the temple?" A young scholar came out from the crowd and knocked lightly on the temple door.

Except for the strong mountain wind, there was no answer.

The scholar was a little impatient and knocked on the temple door again: "May I ask if there is anyone in the temple? If you don't have me, you can just come in..."

"Donor, please come in." An old and hoarse voice came out.

The scholar was Song Liyou. He looked back at Yun Qing and saw her nodding before pushing the door open and entering.

This temple is quite small. When you enter, you only see an empty Buddhist hall, and behind the Buddhist hall are three wing rooms. The sparse trees densely blocked the sky of the temple, and the eaves were staggered, making the entire temple look very dark.

"How many of you are monks?" An old monk wearing a red cassock sat cross-legged on the futon, with his back to the door, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

Song Liyou replied: "Of course he is a Taoist, otherwise how could he climb up this ruined temple on the broken wall?"

"Those with great perseverance can also do it." The old monk replied slowly. His words were a little slurred, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

Song Liyou was not willing to suffer verbal losses at all. He immediately retorted: "I have the intention, but the strength has not yet arrived, so naturally I still can't get up. After all, not everything in this world only requires 'great perseverance' It can be done.”

"If you have this temple in your heart, you will come up even if you are at the foot of the mountain. If you have this Buddha in your heart, you will have attained enlightenment even if you are in the world of mortals. The donor focused on external objects, but he fell behind." The old monk He didn't feel dissatisfied, he still said slowly.

Song Liyou still wanted to argue with him, but was stopped by Yun Qing. Buddhism has the power of "tongue Zen", "tongue blooming lotus", and "flowers falling from the sky". If Song Liyou continues to talk to him, with good luck they can stop before dark. If not, Song Liyou will simply convert to Buddhism. what to do

"Master, we are forced to stay here for a while. Is it possible?" Yun Qing said.

"You can escape the pursuers, but can you escape your own heart?" The old monk let out a hoarse laugh.

"Since Master agreed, we will stay in the back room. Thank you for taking us in." Yun Qing nodded and let the others go in directly.

Song Liyou was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Yun Qing to be so thick-skinned. When had she heard someone say she agreed? He actually said "Thank you for taking me in"

The monk stopped talking after hearing Yun Qing's words, and seemed to have tacitly approved of them moving in.

"How did you know there was a ruined temple here?" Song Liyou finally couldn't hold it back and asked.

"Daoyuan told me. en8." Of course Yun Qing's words were nonsense. She had stayed in Lutian Temple for so long, and she had already used her connection with Jingtian Palace to find out about the inheritance of the soul.

This temple was passed down by an ancestor of Guiling Temple, one of the Seven Holy Lands. Although it has some relationship with the orthodox Buddhist practice of Guiling Temple, it can only be regarded as a casual practice. When I walked south from the Temple of Heaven and passed through thirteen obstacles along the way, almost all the inheritance in this mountain entered the Jingtian Palace. It is estimated that Lu Tiantan let this small temple go because of its relationship with Guiling Temple. However, Yun Qing is a typical person who has too much debt, whether it is a hundred thousand mountains or the Temple of Heaven. At this moment, she probably hopes that she will die ugly, and it doesn't matter if she offends another Guiling Temple.

If I am not mistaken, there should be the Lotus Heart Void Hidden Concept idea in it. This is the secret method of the soul that can be found in Guiling Temple, and its status is only slightly inferior to several Buddhist scriptures such as the Great Sun Tathagata deity temple. Yun Qing was a little surprised, how could such a top-level inheritance end up living in this dilapidated small temple.

"Yun Qing..."

Just as Yun Qing was thinking about it, she heard Zheng Zhenzhen pull her sleeve hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Yun Qing replied, choosing a guest room and walking in.

Zheng Zhenzhen and Amang both walked in behind her, while Song Liyou chose another room by himself.

"I always feel that something is not right here..." Zheng Zhenzhen came to her side, lowered his head and whispered.

"Why do you say that?" Yun Qing placed a ban on the door, and the inside of the door frame was covered with a thin black flame. This flame was pure and deep, which was the result of her tempering her true energy through the Lutian Holy Altar.

"Uh... I just feel uncomfortable." Zheng Zhenzhen's head dropped lower and lower, and she felt that she was being unreasonable.

"You've been hungry for three days, so you must be feeling uncomfortable, right?" Yun Qing said helplessly, "I'll ask for vegetarian food, or ask Song Liyou to find something to eat for you."

She pushed the door open and went out, Zheng Zhenzhen followed closely behind her.

"Stay here, don't go anywhere." Yun Qing blocked her in the confinement and comforted her, "I will bring food later. Have you developed your medical skills and Qi?"

"Yes, yes!" Zheng Zhenzhen raised his head and chest proudly.

"Then take good care of yourself and consolidate your realm." Yun Qing dropped these words and turned to leave. Where Zheng Zhenzhen couldn't see her, her expression became solemn.

Zheng Zhenzhen feels similar to her, but she is more grounded than Zheng Zhenzhen. Yun Qing's mind has been opened. Although he is still far from the third eye that "illuminates the world and transforms all things into being", he can still gain some insight into the blessings and misfortunes.

The whole temple was shrouded in an ominous atmosphere. The aura of the monk was also very strange. He was obviously a Buddhist cultivator, but there was no feeling of golden light on his body. Instead, he looked eerie.

After careful consideration, she decided to give it a try.

She walked into the small Buddhist hall and inadvertently saw a glass vase in front of the Buddha statue, with a green willow branch inserted in the vase.

Yun Qing didn't think much, and stood next to the monk who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed, and said softly: "I hope you will forgive me for disturbing the purity of your temple."

"Amitabha, if the mind is not calm, the temple will be unclean. If a poor monk feels that the temple is unclean, it must be because he has not cultivated enough. How can he blame the donor?" the old monk said apologetically.

Yun Qing felt that although he didn't look like a Buddhist cultivator, he looked very much like him.

"It's best if Master doesn't blame him." Yun Qing didn't want to get involved with him, "I have one more thing to ask..."

"Donor, I see that you are physically weak and blind, but you are thin and slender, with a bright light inside. You have the overall situation in mind and the secrets of heaven. If what you want to ask is something that cannot be seen by the secrets of heaven, then I will be powerless."

Yun Qing naturally wanted to make an insinuation and ask about the whereabouts of Lotus Heart Void Hidden View, but the old monk used his wits to get around. He said that Yun Qing was "blind due to physical weakness", implying that he already knew about Yun Qing's physical condition and probably saw that she needed a secret method to restore her soul. But the last sentence, "thin in appearance and blazing in spirit, with bright light inside" points out that she has recently improved her cultivation, and the damage to her soul is no longer fatal to her. But "having the overall situation in mind and having the secrets at hand" clearly shows Yun Qing's ambition. Not only does he want to control the situation, but he can also use some means to get a glimpse of the secrets.

The first half of this sentence means the same thing: "I know you are injured, but this injury is not the most urgent. You are in a critical situation, so it is better to solve the current predicament first."

And the second half directly states that if you can't solve the problem yourself, don't come to me.

Yun Qing felt that it was really tiring to talk to this old monk who spoke with sharp words. She nodded and thanked the old monk and returned to her original room.

She didn't see that the moment she turned around, the bright green wicker in the glass vase suddenly turned into dead branches, and the Buddha's eyes opened and closed rapidly.

The entire Buddhist hall was eerie and silent.

"Zheng Zhenzhen?"

As soon as Yun Qing walked into the room, she realized something was wrong. The restriction is intact, but Amang and Zheng Zhenzhen are missing.

The room was very simple, with only a small bed, a set of tables and chairs, and no windows, but there was a Buddhist niche on the wall. The entrance is clearly visible at a glance, and there is no way to hide anyone.

Yun Qing carefully checked the restrictions she had set, and there were no signs of them being broken. It makes sense that Zheng Zhenzhen ran away on his own, but it would be too abnormal for Amang to disappear out of thin air. She and Amang were destined to be twins.

The meaning of "one life and two lives" is easy to understand, which means that there should be only one life in the world, but due to various coincidences, two completely different individuals have emerged. From a horoscope point of view, she and Amang were even considered the same person.

Everything about Amang is closely related to her. If he is in any danger, there is no reason why Yun Qing can't feel it.

So what now? There was no danger, but they disappeared out of thin air. Where were the two of them? Together, or separated

Yun Qing placed restrictions on everything in the room, and then went to Song Liyou's room to take a look. Almost as expected, Song Liyou also disappeared.

Yun Qing felt that something was a bit tricky. Now she could either dig deep to find it herself, or ask the weird old monk. But she wasn't ready to fight with him yet. Judging from the conversation just now, it is difficult to say how strong the opponent is, but she must have the ability to calculate the secrets of heaven. In this way, her biggest advantage, the heavenly book, will have a much smaller role. After all, the Book of Heaven knows all things. If two people who know each other's ins and outs fight, it will definitely be difficult to determine the winner.

"Donor, what are you looking for?" The old monk's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

The voice was so close that Yun Qing could almost feel the chill on his neck. She quickly activated Fang Cunzhan, disappeared out of thin air, and reappeared a few meters away.

Yun Qing turned around and saw that the monk was holding a glass vase in one hand and fiddling with the rosary beads in the other hand, smiling kindly at Yun Qing.

She immediately realized that something was wrong and did not answer. She raised her hand and a black flame rushed towards the old monk.

"Almsgiver, the sea of suffering is boundless, but when you turn around you will find the shore." The old monk silently recited a verse, and the glass bottle emitted a dazzling golden light, and several large Sanskrit characters flew out, smashing the black flames into pieces.

Yun Qing remained silent as he continued to use spells, and a black wind came. Those black flames dispersed into little sparks, and when blown by the black wind, they instantly faced the wind and pounced towards the old monk again with bared teeth and claws.

"Amitabha, the donor has too much murderous intention. Do you know that the people who died in vain at your hands are also the spirits of heaven and earth? Has the donor ever regretted and felt regret when he heard the cries of the dead? Has he ever felt uneasy when he heard the cries of the living?"

The golden Sanskrit text became more solid with every word he spoke. This time, it not only broke through the black flames, but also attacked Yun Qing directly.

Yun Qing could see extremely clearly in his mind, but his whole body seemed to be suppressed by the mountain. He could see but could not escape.

This is the magical power of Buddhism to destroy evil. It first uses the power of words to suppress people, and then uses magic weapons to severely damage the seal.

Yun Qing knew in her heart that she must not be hit by this Sanskrit text, but she could not mobilize a trace of her true energy no matter what, so she could only watch helplessly as the Sanskrit text sank into her body. Starting from the soles of her feet, golden lines wrapped around her little by little. When the Sanskrit words reached the Tianling Cap, it was time to seal her completely.

What surprised Yun Qing the most was that there was no protector in the Book of Heaven. The Book of Heaven is the most precious treasure of heaven and earth. Since Yun Qing has forcibly fused it, the Book of Heaven can naturally help her get out of trouble at a critical moment. But now there is no movement in the Book of Heaven. In other words, this is not a critical moment at all? Yun Qing thought of Amang, who was closely related to her but disappeared without warning, and vaguely felt that she might have grasped some key.

At this time, the golden seal had spread to her neck and gradually extended towards her face.

"How sad..." Yun Qing suddenly laughed.

The old monk fiddled with the rosary beads for a moment, his expression unchanged: "Is the donor talking crazy?"

"How sad!!" Yun Qing laughed even louder, "Guiling Temple is a dignified and orthodox Buddhist sect, but now it has fallen to the point of deceiving others with illusions?"

The old monk sighed: "Donor, it is both real and illusory, and it is also illusory and real. How do you know that the illusion you are talking about is not reality, and the reality you are talking about is not an illusion?"

He raised the glass bottle in his hand, and the golden lines instantly covered Yun Qing's head, wrapping Yun Qing like a golden cocoon.

Although she already knew that this was an illusion, Yun Qing still had no way to break it. Her life would be safe if she continued to delay it, but the few people outside the illusion would not know whether they were alive or dead.

Yun Qing was enveloped in golden light and felt that her mind was filled with dazzling Sanskrit words. When she looked again the next moment, she found that the illusion had turned into a place she had never imagined.
