Female Buddha

Chapter 5: The trench atmosphere rises to the sky at Fahua Temple

Although Prajna had flown on a plane in his previous life, this was the first time in his two lives that he had a sense of emptiness.This made Prajna very excited.Looking at the night sky that seemed so close at hand and the gorgeous stars above, Prajna felt a surge of pride in his heart.She was glad that she could practice cultivation in this life. In the future, she would also rely on her own power to fly in the air and see all the great rivers and mountains in the world.

Qingtan saw the unconcealable joy on Banruo's face, so he slowed down his flight speed so that Banruo could take a good look at the surrounding scenery.Banruo looked at it for a while, and once the freshness wore off, he stopped looking around.She was still young now, and when she was close to being ugly, Banruo yawned, nestled herself into Qingtan's warm chest and fell asleep.Qingtan laughed silently, thinking in his heart: This Buddha's successor is really interesting.

Qingtan and Banruo flew on the wooden fish for a whole day before stopping at the mountain gate of Fahua Temple.Prajna looked up.Build a magnificent temple hidden in the clouds.And from her feet to the temple gate, there are countless steps.Hannya looked at her little arms and legs, feeling a little uneasy.Wouldn't this be letting yourself climb up?

Qingtan's words broke the last trace of luck in Banruo's heart. "Whoever wants to enter Fahua Temple can only walk up the stairs step by step. Junior sister, it's getting late, hurry up and you can still catch lunch."

"Let me crawl by myself? Senior brother, can't you help me?" After saying that, he pointed to his little arms and legs, hoping that Qingtan's conscience would notice and hug her up.

Qingtan shook his head: "This is also a test for those who enter the temple. After all, not everyone can enter Fahua Temple. Come on, junior sister!"

Although Qingtan only stated the facts with a calm face, Banruo could still hear the pride in Fahua Temple in his tone.He really is a duplicity person.Banruo cursed in her heart, but her feet didn't stop and started to step on the stairs.The stairs look very high step by step.But after Prajna went up, he found that the height of the ladder was just right for his current climbing legs.Banruo lamented the magic of the spell while climbing up.

Prajna believes that since this is a test, this ladder is similar to the way of inquiry used by sects to recruit disciples in the literature on cultivating immortals.Prajna was still wary of whether illusions would appear.As a result, it took her half an hour to climb to the gate of the temple. Apart from her physical fatigue, she did not face any test at all.Prajna looked at Qingtan with eyes full of questions.

Qingtan couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch the two frizzy buns on Prajna's head, and said with a smile: "Junior sister is indeed a person with a clear mind. She climbed the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps so easily."

Haha, Prajna couldn't help but complain in his heart.Is she a person with a clear mind?Although her cut is not black, it is definitely not white.Don't think that she couldn't hear the carelessness in his compliments to her.Besides, she was able to climb the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps because she was in good health.After all, so many Nianliuhuajiang, Wannian apricots and pine cones sent from Fahua Temple are not for free.Looking at Qingtan, which I felt was still touching my head, I felt a bad premonition arose in my heart.The people in Fahua Temple were probably completely different from the enlightened monks she imagined.

Banruo reached out and patted away the big hand that was still touching her hair, looked at Qingtan and said, "Senior brother, I'm hungry."

A smile flashed in Qingtan's eyes, and she took Prajna's hand and walked towards the temple: "Junior sister climbed up at just the right time, just in time for lunch."

At the gate of the temple, there was a young novice monk smiling and saluting: "Amitabha, Master Qingtan Master Uncle, you are back. This is the little Master Uncle, right? Disciple Jingxin."

Qingtan and Prajna bowed in return. Qingtan said, "Are you going to be a guest monk today? Then my junior sister and I will go in first." After that, he took Prajna into the temple gate.

Fahua Temple is located in the Jinfo Mountains and occupies a large area.It can be said that Fahua Temple basically encloses the Jinfo Mountains as its territory.Now the buildings that Banruo sees are no different from the big temples in the mortal world.This is only the place where Fahua Temple is open to the public.The halls of Fahua Temple and the residences of the elders are deep in the mountains.After entering the temple, Qingtan no longer said that he had to walk on his feet.Hold up Prajna and go away against the wind.

Qingtan first took Prajna to the dining hall to have a meal.There are more than 20 little radish heads eating in the dining hall.Prajna saw at a glance that they were all young monks around ten years old.In front of each person was a bowl of tofu nao, served with fragrant Lingmi rice.Seeing Qingtan and Prajna come in, the young monks all put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up to salute: "Amitabha!" Prajna and Qingtan returned the Buddha's salute, and then sat down on the empty seats on the side.

Among the entire dining hall, Prajna is the smallest one.But this group of people didn't look at Prajna too much.Soon the little chef from the dining hall brought two meals.In order not to stand out, Qingtan, who had already gone away from the valley, also ate with Prajna.

When Prajna says he is hungry, it is true.She quickly picked up her rice bowl and started eating.After drinking Liuhua syrup for so many years, Prajna keenly discovered that this tofu was actually made of Liuhua syrup.Thinking about the Liuhuajiang that my father said was hard to find outside, it was actually made into ordinary dishes here for the young monks to eat.Is it true that Fahua Temple is very proud?
After finishing the meal, Qingtan continued to fly deep into the mountains with Prajna.During this period, while flying over a huge valley, Qingtan said in a nonchalant tone: "This valley is full of pine and apricot trees that are thousands of years old. The pine cones and apricots you usually eat come from here. picked."

Prajna looked down at the huge, boundless valley, unable to complain in his heart.The fruits from these trees can improve people's qualifications.It can be seen that they are not ordinary plants, but spiritual plants.Thousand-year-old spiritual plants are treasures, and one of them is enough to cause a fight between several major sects outside.This Fahua Temple is good, it just domesticates this thing.The problem is that the ten thousand year spiritual plant needs to grow, and the spiritual energy required is huge and immeasurable.Generally speaking, one is enough to drain the nearby spiritual energy.Therefore, in a place where spiritual plants can grow for ten thousand years, there are no other high-level spiritual plants nearby.But looking at the densely packed [-]-year-old pine and apricot trees below, Prajna wanted to shout that this was unscientific.

Qingtan obviously knew the doubts in Prajna's heart.He said in a flat tone: "The pine and apricot trees below were planted according to the Fa-rectification. Coupled with the hard work of the elders and disciples in the temple for thousands of years, they can grow so well."

Banruo rolled her eyes regardless of her appearance, and finally couldn't help but complain: "Senior brother, I know you are a little inconsistent. But since you came back to the temple, you have been very obvious. Please don't say it every time. Are you showing off in this flat tone? Do you think I can't hear the pride and showing off in your tone? Do you know that this is too inconsistent with your image?"

When Qingtan heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.It took him a long time to stop laughing, and said: "Since my junior sister has noticed it, it saves me the trouble of maintaining my image. Junior sister needs to know that I am only a Buddhist cultivator, not a Buddha. So it is normal to have grievances in my heart. When I entered the temple, I also It's the same treatment as you..."

In other words, you have suffered from your senior brothers' low-key showing off and shocked stupidity, and you just want to get it back from your juniors.Prajna automatically took over the unfinished words of Qingtan.Very good, this reason is very strong, Ting Rang Prajna doesn’t know what to say.Moreover, it can be seen from the experience of Qingtan that this inconsistency is probably the true legacy of Fahua Temple.What kind of place did she come to?Why is it nothing like the Buddhist practice she imagined?Of course, what they showed to the outside world was exactly the same as the rumored Buddhist cultivators.

When Qingtan and Prajna landed in front of a courtyard, Qingtan said: "Junior sister is tired from the journey, so it would be rude. It's better to wash up first before going to meet the elders. This Zen courtyard has been prepared for junior sister a long time ago. From now on, you can Live here." After saying that, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked in with Prajna.

Qingtan first brought Prajna into the meditation room, and saw that there was already a set of white monk clothes on the bed.Prajna picked up the monk's robe and followed Qingtan to the other side.Pushing open the door, Hannya found that it was actually an open-air bath room.Qingtan said: "Every Buddhist temple in Fahua Temple is built around the Wugou Spring. Therefore, a part of the Wugou Spring was directly enclosed as a bathing place. Junior sister, please take a bath quickly. I will wait for you outside." After finishing speaking Qingtan left the bathroom.

In the end, Prajna couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.There must be forty or fifty Zen monasteries in Fahua Temple.To be able to build around the Wugou Spring, how big must the Wugou Spring be?This is not a spring, it is clearly a lake.And I heard that Wuzuo Spring is so precious, and you can cleanse your muscles and cut your marrow with just one sip.If there is demonic energy in the body, it can also be washed away.But then Prajna realized that Wugua Spring was nothing more than a bathhouse in the eyes of the people of Fahua Temple.Prajna suddenly thought that if people outside knew that the treasured spring water he drank was their bath water, they would look very good.Now I think it is right for Fahua Temple to keep a low profile.Otherwise, we would have been besieged by those envious and jealous people.

After taking a quick shower, Hannya began to dress.The monk's robe, which looked rather big, fit perfectly after he put it on.Ever since she regarded Liuhuajiang as the existence of soymilk, Chen Bangjian consciously popularized some common sense in the cultivation world to her.So Prajna now understands that the monk's robe is a magic weapon.

Prajna left the bathroom and walked to the living room, where he saw Qingtan sitting there enjoying tea comfortably.He looked as if he was the master of this Zen monastery.Seeing Prajna come out, he smiled and said, "I heard that you were coming, so Tongshi Bert made this treasured garment. It really suits you."

What?Treasure clothes?Cooperating with this monk robe is still a treasure.Fahua Temple gave her, a young disciple who had just entered the temple, to wear precious clothes.Prajna sighed straight in her heart, this Fahua Temple is too deep, it is so strong.
