And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 90 Exploded! ! !

"Fellow Daoist is very talented, I'm afraid he came from an extraordinary background."

Shi Moteng looked at Chen Yuan, implying something.

In fact, as early as the first time he met Chen Yuan, he had already seen that Chen Yuan's foundation was profound, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

During these years in Dayong, he has seen many Taoist practitioners, but he has never seen a Taoist practitioner who can build such a deep foundation.

This shows that behind Chen Yuan, there may be some expert guidance, maybe his teacher is a fairy walking in the world.

Chen Yuan smiled, but did not speak.

It was fine to be in Lujiang City before, but now he is far away from Lujiang City, he doesn't want to be outside, and still use the name of master Lu Yan's disciple.

"What is this thing?"

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't speak, Shi Moteng noticed the white mouse Xueniang who had just come in behind Chen Yuan and was at Chen Yuan's feet.

"She is a white mouse, her name is Xueniang."

Chen Yuan introduced to Shi Moteng.

……

While Chen Yuan was talking with Shi Moteng, Yuan Hui left by herself.

Not long after, tea was served to Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng.

"The Taoist priest's trip to Jinguang Temple is not just to visit this monk, right?"

After Yuan Hui left, Shi Moteng asked Chen Yuan.

"Pindao does have a few questions, so I came here to ask the master for advice."

"Dare to ask Master, where did you get the "Book of Fenghuoyuan Spiritual Talisman" that you sent to Pindao?"

Chen Yuan nodded and asked Shi Moteng.

Ever since Empress Weaving Brocade left last time, he has been a little doubtful in his heart.

I don't know where Shi Moteng got a book of spells inherited from the Heavenly Court Xingjun.

"I bought it from a Taoist when I passed by Kyoto a few years ago."

Seeing Chen Yuan asking about this matter, Shi Moteng told the truth.

"This monk still remembers that it was a mortal Taoist priest who was wearing a tattered Taoist robe and looked very sloppy. He was not a practitioner. The price was only one tael of silver."

"This monk is quite knowledgeable. I can tell at a glance that this scripture is indeed a scripture of Taoist spells that can be practiced, so I bought it for a tael of silver."

Shi Moteng informed.

Chen Yuan was thoughtful.

From this point of view, the slovenly old man that Shi Moteng spoke of is very likely to be the descendant of Marshal Tian Du, who has inherited Liuren Fenghuoyuan in the world.

However, he was able to sell all the spell scriptures at the core of the sect, and it seems that the Liuren Fenghuo Academy has indeed declined.

"Looking at the Taoist priest's appearance, do you know the origin of this scripture?"

Shi Moteng asked again.

"I happened to know some of the origin of this scripture from a friend, so when I came to visit the master, I happened to ask the master about the experience of obtaining this scripture."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Since this scripture was given to the Taoist priest, this matter is not related to this monk, and I will not ask about it."

Shi Moteng said.

"There is one more thing to ask the master!"

Seeing that Shi Moteng didn't care about this matter, Chen Yuan didn't talk too much. He changed his tone and asked another purpose of coming here.

"What's the matter?"

Shi Moteng asked.

"About the robbers, what else can the master tell you?"

Chen Yuan asked Shi Moteng.

"Does the Taoist think that this monk will understand this matter?"

Shi Moteng asked Chen Yuan back with a smile.

"The reason why I said that to the Taoist priest before is because the poor monk has encountered many such things in various places in recent years. This kind of thing does not seem to be accidental, but premeditated."

"If the Taoist wants to know, he has to rely on himself to investigate."

Shi Moteng went on to say.

"It's a poor way to take the liberty."

Seeing that Shi Moteng didn't know the inside story of this matter, Chen Yuan could only give up.

Then Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng discussed and exchanged ideas in the backyard.

Chen Yuan had never met a Buddhist practitioner before, and Shi Moteng was the first monk he met, although he was a foreign monk.

From Shi Moteng, Chen Yuan knew some of the cultivation realm of Buddhism.

For example, what Shamo Teng practiced is the practice method of the Western Indian Buddhist Kingdom "Supreme Yoga", and the monks of the Western Indian Buddhist Kingdom have three realms of practice, which are precepts, meditation, and prajna.

It is the same as the internal nourishment, life, and attainment state of Daoist practice.

However, the cultivation realms of Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom are very rough and vague. Unlike Taoism, each major realm has specific divisions of smaller realms.

Like Shi Moten, he is actually still in the realm of "observing the precepts".

However, what Shi Moteng obeyed was not the five precepts of ordinary Buddhism, but the precepts he set for himself.

The precepts Shimo set for himself are not to do evil and to promote Buddhism.

The longer they keep the precepts, the more profound their practice will be.

And above the realm of Prajna, it is the Arhat of Buddhism.

According to Shi Moteng, although the cultivation methods and realm of Dayong's Buddhism are somewhat different from those of the Western Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom, they are basically similar with minor differences because they were also passed down from the Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom.

Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng chatted very well, from the time when the sun was in the sky to the time when the moon and the rabbit rose in the east, the night sky was full of stars and the sky was about to get dark.

"Daoist, why don't you stay in Jinguang Temple for one night and leave tomorrow?"

Shi Moteng, who was wearing a yellow cloth, persuaded Chen Yuan to stay.

Chen Yuan looked up at the sky, and saw that there were already monks lighting the candlesticks around him.

"That's right, Taoist priest, since you've come here, no matter what, our Jinguang Temple has to show its kindness as a landlord. The delicious vegetarian dishes of our Jinguang Temple are well-known throughout Pingliang County, and many big families believe in it." Lady of the Buddha, you come to our temple to offer incense just to have a bite of Vegetarian food."

At this time, Yuan Hui, the abbot of Jinguang Temple, also came from a distance, and asked Chen Yuandao to stay.

"Well, the hospitality is hard to turn down. Since the two invite you, I will stay in the temple for one night."

Under the persuasion of Shi Moteng and Yuan Hui, the abbot of Jinguang Temple, Chen Yuan decided to stay overnight in Jinguang Temple.

"The old monk will go down and order people to prepare vegetarian dishes."

Seeing Chen Yuan agreeing, Yuan Hui, the abbot of Jinguang Temple, left happily.

The reason why he tried his best to keep Chen Yuan was because he wanted to take the opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding with Chen Yuan, otherwise, if he was missed by such an expert, he would not even be able to meditate comfortably.

Soon the vegetarian food was ready, Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng were invited to the dining hall, and learned that when Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng were discussing Taoism, the white rat running around in the temple was raised by Chen Yuan. The host of Jinguang Temple also specially prepared a copy for Xueniang, the white mouse.

While eating vegetarian dishes, Yuan Hui personally poured the wine for Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng, and ordered the monks in the temple to go to Pingliang County to buy the wine.

"Daoist, Abbot Yuanhui told me that there is some misunderstanding between you and Abbot Yuanhui?"

Just after sitting down, Shi Moteng asked Chen Yuan.

He was entrusted by Abbot Yuan Hui to help mediate this matter for him.

"Since the master has spoken, the poor Taoist also wants to ask Abbot Yuan Hui face to face, what is your relationship with the fox demon nest in the cave in the barren mountain southeast of Pingliang County?"

Chen Yuan looked at Yuan Hui, the abbot of Jinguang Temple.

"As far as Pingdao knows, the foxes in that nest are all prostitutes, and they have the habit of sucking people's energy."

Chen Yuan then said again.

"To be honest, the old monk did have a lot of sins before. Before the master came to Jinguang Temple, the incense of Jinguang Temple was not strong. In order to keep Jinguang Temple from being lonely and dilapidated, the old monk joined hands with the old fox of the Bai family to cheat for a while. The money of the big family."

"At that time, the old fox of the Bai family sent his daughter to the rich family's house to pretend to be a fox, and then asked the other party to deliberately tell the rich family that they were afraid of me, the host of Jinguang Temple."

"Then the big family will spend a lot of money to the Jinguang Temple to invite the old monk to eliminate the demons. The old monks will show up and perform to suppress the demons. We will divide the money earned."

"Because they wanted to make money, the old monk cooperated with the old fox of the Bai family, and no one was killed."

"And since the master settled in Jinguang Temple, the incense of Jinguang Temple has become more and more prosperous every day, and the old monk has changed his ways."

Yuan Hui talked about the reason of the incident.

"But how do you know that you are not helping a demon?"

"You think you are just defrauding money, but those fox demons are taking the opportunity to suck people's energy."

"One sentence, "Correct evil and return to righteousness, I'm afraid it will not be enough to let this matter go."

Chen Yuan asked Yuan Hui back.

After all, that nest of fox demons used Yuan Hui's name to hope that Chen Yuan would let them go.

"This……"

For Yuan Hui, he couldn't answer for a moment.

"Master, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Chen Yuan looked at Shi Moteng next to him.

After pondering for a moment, Shi Moteng said to Yuan Hui:
"Abbot, this monk can't help you mediate this matter."

"Since you did collude with the fox demon before, even if you were used by the fox demon, you did commit a crime."

The old monk Yuan Hui looked at Chen Yuan, his eyes were full of bitterness and pleading: "How does the priest want the old monk to make amends?"

Chen Yuan looked at Shi Moteng again: "What does Master think about this matter?"

Shi Moteng thought for a while and said, "Cut off an arm as a punishment, dissipate the monastery's money, build bridges and roads for the common people, and benefit one side. What do the priests think of this plan?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Yuan Hui watched from the side, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that this was already the result of seeking Shi Moten's adjustment.

If not, if the Daoist Qingming left and raised this matter in person, then it would not be a matter of losing an arm or some money.

Yuan Hui said gratefully, "Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving the old monk's life."

Chen Yuan glanced at Yuan Hui: "The reason why the poor agreed to Master's proposal is because you didn't lie just now..."

Yuan Hui's heart shuddered when she heard the words, her face turned pale from fright, and her whole body was sweating profusely.

He secretly rejoiced in this matter, fortunately he did not tell lies just now, and there was not much water in what he said.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to pass the level just now.

The vegetarian food in Jinguang Temple was indeed delicious, but the taste was a bit bland. After dinner, Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng chatted for a long time.

It was not until late at night that under the arrangement of the monks in the temple, he lived in a wing room in a small courtyard next to the backyard where Shi Moteng lived.

……

the next day.

Chen Yuan didn't get up from bed until he was exposed to the sun.

"Chen Yuan!"

Chen Yuan, who just sat up from the bed, heard someone calling himself on the ground.

He looked over and found that the person calling him was the white mouse Xueniang.

At this time, the white mouse Xueniang stood up, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her front paws, looking at herself as if offering treasures, waiting for her praise.

Chen Yuan felt that the string of Buddhist beads held by Xueniang White Mouse was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he realized, isn't this string of beads exactly the one in Shi Moteng's hand?

"You have found the owner's treasure after all the treasure hunting, and I don't know how you stole this string of Shi Moteng's close-fitting beads from him."

Chen Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But the white mouse Xueniang didn't stop, but pointed to the side with her paw, and Chen Yuan discovered that in the corner of his room, there was still a huge tortoise shell with only half of it left, and a string of unfinished tortoise shells. The turtle shell is carved into beads, and each bead is engraved with a bracelet of scriptures.

Chen Yuan thought that Shi Moteng took it away before, and gave him a copy of the "Fenghuoyuan Spiritual Talisman Book" as compensation for the tortoise demon tortoise shell, which turned out to be brought back and made into a bracelet.

"You stole everything from him, and he came over, how should I explain?"

Chen Yuan leaned down and tapped Xueniang's mouse head with his fingers, feeling annoyed.

White Mouse Xueniang looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously, as if she was wondering why Chen Yuan didn't praise herself and looked a little angry when she found two treasures for Chen Yuan and brought them back.

If you are afraid of anything, it is at this moment.

"Daoist, there were thieves in the temple last night. My prayer beads and unfinished bracelets were all stolen last night. Did you lose anything?"

Shi Moteng pushed the door open and walked in.

Just in time to see the Buddhist beads that were lost last night and held in the claws of the white mouse Xueniang, and the turtle shell and mountain turtle bracelet that he had not finished in the corner of the wall.

Shi Moteng froze there for a while, his expression was a bit complicated, and the atmosphere in the room also became extremely strange.

"Master, this rat demon raised by Pindao has the ability to hunt for treasures. Last night it stole Master's prayer beads and bracelets as unowned treasures. Pindao just found out."

Chen Yuan explained.

Seeing that all the things he lost were here with Chen Yuan, Shi Moteng immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine as long as the things are not lost."

The beads and bracelets, one is his portable beads, and the other is prepared by him to make a magic weapon for body protection, it would be a terrible thing to lose it.

Chen Yuan said to the white mouse Xueniang: "Go and return the things to others."

Xueniang White Rat was a little unhappy, but at Chen Yuan's request, she could only return the Buddhist beads and the string of beads in the corner to Shi Moteng.

Seeing this scene, Shi Moteng smiled and said: "This mouse is also considered interesting."

After getting up, Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng went to the backyard where Shi Moteng lived.

Yuan Hui, the abbot of Jinguang Temple, ordered the monks to prepare vegetarian dishes for Chen Yuan and Shi Moteng.

But today's Yuan Hui, the sleeve of a monk's robe is empty, and the sleeve is fluttering in the wind. It is obvious that his left arm has been disposed of last night.

It's just that after losing the arm, Yuan Hui suddenly looked as if he had been severely injured. Not to mention his pale face today, he also suddenly aged many years, and his body became rickety.

"It was this monk who cut off his arm with the secret method of Tianzhu last night. Originally, this monk had a way to save Abbot Yuan Hui from pain, but Abbot Yuan Hui refused."

Seeing Chen Yuan seeing this scene, Shi Moteng explained.

"Since Abbot Yuanhui has already been punished, he understands this matter, and it's up to him to decide what to do in the future."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"The old monk is in the company of monsters. Everything he did before was caused by the old monk himself. To be punished, the old monk is willing."

Yuan Hui said to Chen Yuan.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Yuan was invited by Shi Moteng to his residence to discuss the Dao because it was still early.

Compared with yesterday's discussion of the difference between Buddhism and Taoism, today is a real discussion of Taoism. The two of them explain their own practice under this bodhi forest.

Although none of them are in the realm of life and meditation, they have all gained a lot.

Especially Chen Yuan, who suddenly broadened his understanding of Buddhist practice.

Let him know more about Buddhist practice from ignorance.

He even learned by analogy, which made him have some new insights into the "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose" and "Fetal Breath Jue" that he practiced.

And Shi Moteng also felt that Chen Yuan's understanding of Taoist practice was the most accomplished among the masters of Taoism he had ever seen.

Shi Moteng felt that Chen Yuan might have been inherited from an immortal, or else he was a disciple of an immortal.

Otherwise, it is unlikely that he would have an unfathomable thought about the way of cultivation explained by Chen Yuan.

And this also made Shi Moteng have a strong curiosity about Chen Yuan.

He actually had the idea of ​​wanting to spy on Chen Yuan, to see if Chen Yuan was a disciple of the Immortal as he had guessed.

It just so happens that in the practice method of Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions that he learned, there is a magical power of "mind Buddha eyes", which can peek into the past of a person from the inner world of a person.

Shi Moteng quietly cast "Heart Buddha Eyes", the pupils of his eyes turned golden unconsciously, and his gaze was fixed on Chen Yuan.

He got a peek into Chen Yuan's inner world as he wished.

But Shi Moteng's face quickly flashed a hint of surprise.

Because what he saw with his "heart-like Buddha eyes" was not Chen Yuan's previous childhood experience.

It is a world that is almost real, but completely different from this world.

In Chen Yuan's inner world, people in strange costumes live in a towering steel forest, there are two-winged iron birds flying in the sky, and there are giant snakes that are as fast as lightning running through the tracks on the ground...

This is not any world he has seen at all, neither the Taoist heaven described in the Taoist scriptures, nor the Western Paradise of Buddhism described in the Buddhist scriptures.

Then the next moment...

Shi Moteng's pupils turned into golden eyes, which suddenly exploded.

For a while, there were only two blood holes left in the eye area.

Blood flowed profusely, like a ghost.
