"Master, Buddha has been reclusive for many years, have you thought about reappearing?"
…
"My Buddha is merciful, and now I have a great merit. Whether or not the Buddhist practice continues to hide from the world depends entirely on the master's choice."
…
"The little girl came here out of selfishness, but also because of empathy."
…
Lin Luoran had a heart-to-heart talk with Puji in the tea room, and the old monk was kind-hearted, but she didn't believe that Puji wasn't tempted at all by what she said. In the past, when Buddhism was at its peak, there were so many temples in the country. At that time, it was the world of Buddhist practice.
She is a rookie who has become a monk halfway, and the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is nothing in her eyes. Taoism seeks enlightenment and aura, while Buddhism emphasizes faith and power of aspiration. The two are fundamentally different approaches, so why must one side be suppressed
Now that the practice world is declining, and the aura of heaven and earth is declining sharply, Lin Luoran doesn't know why Buddhist practitioners are willing to retreat and practice purely—if they want the power of vows, how can they have faith if they don't do anything by themselves
After drinking the tea and analyzing the strength, Zhixiu sent Lin Luoran out. When the copper wall was still closed, to be honest, Lin Luoran didn't know if he had succeeded.
Under the bodhi tree, Puji came out from nowhere, but he respected the little novice Zhixiu.
Zhixiu's monk's robe was blown by the night wind, the little novice caught a bodhi leaf and suddenly smiled:
"Puji, what she said is not unreasonable, we just follow it."
Puji hesitated to speak, but nodded his head after a while.
If Lin Luoran was here, his eyes would surely drop out of shock. Puji is an eminent monk of the same generation as Mu Lao and the others, and it is strange that he respects Zhixiu, who is still a young novice, so much.
But Lin Luoran is naturally impossible. She is already flying among the twilight mountains at this moment. Once she leaves Sichuan, there are not many people in Huaxia who can check her cultivation. She doesn't have to worry about it like she came to Mount Wutai.
Lin Luoran is going to Putuo and Jiuhua next.
This is also one of the four holy places of Buddhism. As for Emei, which is the closest to Rongcheng, it was abandoned by Lin Luoran early in the morning. The distance between Emei and Qingcheng is closer, and Lin Luoran is still worried about the Huizhu old way of Qingcheng Temple.

"This is the information I compiled, please forward it to Senior Sister Lin."
Rong Donglin handed a stack of manuscript papers to Mama Lin, with unconcealable fatigue in his eyes.
Both Lin's father and Lin's mother think this young man is good. He has to shout several times a day before he rests. He works hard and earnestly, and he can get along with Luo Dong again. Seeing the bloodshot eyes in his eyes, he knows that he has not rested these days, and Lin Luoran is not here. However, Mama Lin was not good at keeping customers, so she accepted the information and sent Rong Donglin out.
As soon as he left Lin's house, Rong Donglin's old Nokia ring rang. It was Yan Feng from the dormitory who asked him to visit the youngest in the dormitory, Cai Liang's girlfriend.
The third child's girlfriend was bitten by a snake a few days ago, and she stayed in the hospital for a few days before waking up. Rong Donglin has already been there once. Cai Liang's scruffy beard looks so pitiful, Rong Donglin couldn't bear to look at it , although he is also very sleepy now, there is no reason to refuse Yan Feng's request.
He was still thinking about which bus to take closer, Lin Luodong poked his head out from the door.
"Brother Donglin, where are you going? Can I go too?"
Rong Donglin patted him on the shoulder, "Have you finished your homework?"
Lin Luodong nodded, Rong Donglin had always been accommodating to him, and Luo Dong was sure that "Brother Donglin" would take him out to play.
The two turned out of the alley towards the bus and walked towards the bus platform.
A red figure hiding in Folk Street is eager to try, the bus door has been closed, it leaps up into the air, entrenched on the roof of the car, the midday sun makes it feel uncomfortable, the little red snake vomited its core, shrank into a ball.
Xiaojin's power is very strong, if he gets too close to Lin's house, he will be discovered. He has been hiding in the nearby streets for too long, and Little Red Snake feels that his chance has finally come.
The bus wobbled along, Lin Luodong and Rong Donglin were chatting and laughing.
Father Lin came back in the car, and said curiously: "That boy Luo Dong has been making noises and going out to play. I'll take him to the square in a while."
Mama Lin went to call for someone, only to find that there was no one in Luo Dong's room, and the little man was nowhere to be seen in the yard, Mama Lin panicked.
"He didn't follow Rong Donglin out, did he?... It's been a lot of chaos outside these two days, just a big idiot and a small idiot who don't know the danger, how is that good? No, I'm going out to find him."
Lin's father was also worried, but he still comforted Lin's mother, "Where is it so unlucky, Rongcheng is so big, but they met that strange snake? Rong Donglin is a sensible child, and he will definitely send Luo Dong back."
Lin's mother felt that what Lin's father said was not unreasonable, so she let go of her worries for the time being, but she was always terrified for the next two hours, her eyelids twitched, and she felt like something was going to happen.
Naturally, Lin Luodong didn't know the worries of his parents at home. He was young and intelligent. Even though he was going to see Rong Donglin's classmate, he still bought some fruit supplements and took them with him to see "Sister Ruan" who was still in a coma.
It is said that they were bitten by snakes. The hospital has treated many such patients. Seeing sister Ruan lying on the sick bed with some black spots on her face, Lin Luodong was a little scared.
The corridors of the hospital were full of crying, Sister Ruan's parents also cried when they talked about it, Lin Luodong felt that they were crying pitifully.
Where did the strange snake come from so powerful, if my sister was here, she would be able to deal with it, right? He really wanted to call Lin Luoran and ask her to help this sister Ruan, no matter how bad he was, he would catch the strange snake. He was also worried that Lin Luoran was doing something big, and he was not sure, so he would not call Sister Ruan. Relatives and Brother Donglin waited in vain, Lin Luodong suppressed these thoughts and did not mention them.
Rong Donglin and Yan Feng could only say comforting words, seeing Cai Liang's dazed expression, they didn't know if they could listen to them. When the two of them led Lin Luodong out of the hospital, they were in a depressed mood.
"Hey, if there is something wrong with Ah Ruan, why would Liangzi be sad if she doesn't know!" Hearing that the hospital is helpless against this kind of snake venom, and it's lucky that the situation can be controlled so that it doesn't get worse. Yan Feng is not very optimistic about the situation.
This topic is too heavy, Rong Donglin can only sigh.
Yan Feng turned his smiling face, "Boy, let's go, brother Feng will take you to pick up girls." Doesn't being close to the younger brother mean being close to the older sister? Yan Feng has a good plan and is very enthusiastic about Lin Luodong.
Rong Donglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so Yan Feng took Luo Dong to play, called a taxi and stuffed two "fools", one big and one small, and sat in the front seat by himself.
The red shadow jumped up, still occupying the top of the taxi.
The sun was not so strong, and the red snake regained some energy. It sometimes stretched its body and sometimes spit out its core on the roof of the taxi.
Yan Feng was still talking about the good sushi in a certain restaurant on Chunxi Road, but the exclamations and pointers from passers-by finally made the people in the car feel that something was wrong.
The driver thought there was something wrong with his car, so he discussed with Yan Feng and the others whether he should stop by the side of the square to avoid any safety accidents. There were tens of meters away from the square, when a red tail suddenly came down from the roof of the car. Dong's heart skipped a beat:
"Brother Donglin, look!"
It's a snake!
As soon as they came out of the hospital, Yan Feng suddenly thought of the strange snake that endangered Rongcheng recently.
"Master, don't stop, drive quickly and throw the snake down!" There were half-grown children in the car, Yan Feng and Rong Donglin were in a hurry, but the taxi driver didn't have their guts, he was terrified when he saw the red tail, At this time, I didn't care about any traffic regulations, threw the car into the square beside the road, and stepped on a sudden brake——
Yan Feng and the others were still in a daze, the driver pushed open the car door and fled, the moment his head moved out, the little red snake bit him on the face like lightning, the dead machine fell down covering his face, Yan Feng took a breath of cold Angrily, "Let's go!"
Rong Donglin pushed the door open to protect Lin Luodong to get out of the car, Yan Feng followed closely behind, the little red snake sized up the three of them with cold eyes, entrenched on the taxi driver who didn't know what to do, and didn't move for a while.
The people in the square were stunned by the sudden rush of the taxi, and after seeing the little red snake on the ground clearly, they all screamed and scattered. More and more people in Rongcheng have been bitten by snakes in recent days. The citizens have changed their expressions when talking about snakes. They are terrified when they see the little red snake bite the taxi driver and fall to the ground.
Lin Luodong was protected by Yan Feng and Rong Donglin, running in the chaotic crowd, the young boy felt the wind blowing in his ears, his heart was beating violently, the little red snake bit the first driver who got out of the car , The three of them all walked around the ghost gate, Lin Luodong was only twelve years old, even if he saw a lot of incredible things in normal times, it was inevitable to be afraid at such a critical moment.
"Damn it, how did this snake spot us!"
Yan Feng turned his head and saw that the little red snake was already chasing him, which happened to be in their direction.
"Donglin, let's run separately and lure it away."
Yan Feng is usually not very bold, he is an ordinary college student with a glib tongue, but at this time, they always have to think about children.
Rong Donglin nodded in agreement, and the three of them had just separated for a while, and found that the little red snake was chasing in Lin Luodong's direction—Rong Donglin had to turn around and come back, Yan Feng spat, and came back cursing and dragging Lin Luodong to run .
The strange snake had a clear target, and it was obviously targeting Lin Luodong. The two dragged Luodong to run, and the fleeing people consciously drew a boundary line with them. Gradually, there were only three people left in the square. With a high wall, they have no way to escape.
"Damn it, boy, did you dig out its old den? Why is it feeling sorry for us?" Yan Feng looked around and saw the eyes of the little tree in the flower garden lit up, and quickly tore off the supporting wooden sticks protecting the tree. .
Lin Luodong's face turned pale, and he didn't know why the snake was chasing him, so he followed Yan Feng's example and went to get the stick. Rong Donglin looked at the red snake that also stopped with vigilance, and the three of them each held a stick, The restless heart gained a little confidence.
The red snake was spitting out its core in front of them, and the three of them leaned their backs against the fence and held wooden sticks, feeling much more at ease in their hearts.
Yan Feng comforted Lin Luodong with his tongue out, "Don't be afraid... But, it's just a little snake, the three of us will work together to deal with it."
Small? The red snake seemed to understand Yan Feng's words, there was a sound of crackling and dislocation of bones, and the little red snake rose in the wind, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it became a giant snake thicker than a bucket and several feet long!
Its triangular head bowed down to stare at the three of them, and its foul-smelling snake saliva dripped on the concrete floor, emitting bursts of thick smoke.
The bold citizen who ran to the side of the square saw the huge figure of the red snake when he turned his head, and swallowed, "Is this an American science fiction movie?"
Seeing that the giant snake surrounded the three people but did not attack, many brave people watched from across the street. The reporter from the TV station was the most daring, a bit faster than the police car.
As soon as the red snake's body became bigger, its aura could no longer be suppressed. Feeling its overwhelming anger, Xiao Jin, who had been dozing off around the island, suddenly opened his eyes. The golden eagle sensed its position, flapped its wings and soared into the sky, shaking off many bamboo leaves.
Lin's mother saw Xiao Jin's urgent movements from the window, and was about to say what happened to Diao'er today, when she saw the series that was originally playing on Rongcheng Channel 2 come to an abrupt end. The voice said: "Dear viewers, what you are watching is Rongcheng Channel 2, and what we are going to show you next is..."
The camera turned to the square, Lin Ma was taken aback by the giant snake, she patted her chest to suppress her shock, and suddenly found that the figures in the gap between the giant snake's twisting were very familiar—bye, it's Luo Dong and Rong Donglin!
Pa... Mama Lin shattered the fruit plate on the table in a panic.
"His dad, hurry up, hurry up and watch TV!"
Lin's father stared at the TV for a few times, and his expression was similar to that of Lin's mother. He turned around and ran outside, but Lin's mother couldn't catch him, so anxious and angry, it took a while to remember to call Lin Luoran.
Beeping busy tone, my daughter turned off the phone.
Mama Lin collapsed to the ground.
God, what should she do
