Chapter 368 Handsome people cannot look in the mirror

In the deserted Buddhist hall, the door is closed.

There are several light gauze curtains hanging in the room, and it is automatic when there is no wind.

On the futon, the handsome white clothed monk slowly opened his eyes, as if there were countless dive lights in his eyes, the depths of which were difficult to describe.

But when I took a second look, I suddenly felt that it was not very common, as if he was just a gentle-eyed monk. Those divine and beautiful auras, I don’t know where they were gathered.

“Master, don’t worry about me.”

He spoke slowly, his voice warm and pleasant.

“I say so, but how can I not worry about you? If something happens to you, who will maintain the fame of Yunfu Temple? Is it up to me?”

Opposite him, a few curtains away, an old monk wearing a jeweled golden cassock sighed and seemed to be relaxed.

“You are the master of a temple, even if the Disciple is all right, don’t we all depend on you?” The white clothed monk’s tone was polite.

“hehe.” The old monk laughed twice.

These two are the two highest-ranking monks in the Yunfu Pure Land of this generation, the abbot of the monastery, Zen Master Chongyi and his Disciple, Zen Master.

Zen Master Yi is naturally the famous white clothed monk Jiang Yi.

And Chan Master Chongyi, who is his master, is not well-known in comparison. So much so that when the world mentions Yunfu Temple, the first thing that comes to mind is Jiang Yi, but they don’t think of who the abbot of the temple is.

In fact, Master Chongyi’s fortune really depended on Disciple.

At the beginning, he had nothing outstanding among his peers in Yunfu Temple, and even seemed a little clumsy.

But he just received a god-defying recipe.

Jiang Yi’s ascension was too fast. He became the most famous monk in Yunfu Temple when he was a teenager. Ninety-nine percent of the pilgrims in the mountains came to him, and the pilgrims who traveled to teach Zen were some old monks.

Thousands of times more monks, the advancement of the cultivation base is also rapid progress.

Although at that time, many old seniors in temples were not used to Jiang Yi, and ridiculed him for preaching Buddha by his face. But he was angry, Jiang Yi’s strength was also against the sky, and he was impeccably strong, and no one could do anything about it.

Such a person will naturally be promoted.

If you want to promote him, you must first promote his master, otherwise you can’t let the discipline step on the master’s head.

If you want Jiang Yi to be a prisoner, then his master must be a Hall Master; if you want Jiang Yi to be a Hall Master, then his master must be a class leader; if you want Jiang Yi to be a Hall Master If you want Jiang Yi to be the first, then his master should be the elder; if you want Jiang Yi to be the elder, then his master should be the abbot…

Wait?

On the day he became the abbot, Zen Master Chongyi was stunned.

It’s a good thing…

It’s like riding a horse and dreaming.

Many years later, Zen Master Chongyi was asked how he felt at that time. Chan Master Chongyi was still a little excited, he spat out one mouthful of impure air slowly, and said softly:

“It’s still quite stressful, in fact, I haven’t figured it out until now, I’m a good prisoner. How did you become the abbot of Yunfu Temple?”

“The discipline leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual.”

A few days ago, there were two small Disciples who knew each other. , secretly ran to Mingshui Valley to pick Heaven and Earth Treasure, but one lost his life.

The other came back and escalated the matter.

After all, Mingshui Valley is dangerous, so no other elders were dispatched from the temple, and it was easy to go directly by Jiang.

Who knew that he had a fight with the monsters in the Netherworld River, and he came back injured.

Now Zen Master Chongyi is a little panicked.

After waiting for two days, I finally waited for Jiang Yiyi’s healing to end, and hurriedly came to express my condolences to Disciple.

……

“It’s Disciple’s recklessness, which made the master worried.” Jiang Yiyi apologized again warmly.

“I thought the water was just some ordinary ghosts, but unexpectedly it is a ghost who has been cultivated for an unknown number of years.”

“Ghost?” Chan Master Chongyi was shocked. a moment.

Just as human practitioners can cultivate into Earth Immortal, some ghosts can also choose to cultivate into ghosts. It’s just that compared to Earth Immortal, who has as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the world, ghost fairy is a more difficult road.

It is a thousand times more difficult than the human body to achieve detachment with the incomplete body.

Even if you go back tens of thousands of years, if you gather all the ghosts and immortals that have appeared in the human world since the ancient times, it may not exceed the number of hands.

“And the ghost immortal probably has quite a history and is proficient in a lot of immortal art. With my current cultivation base, I still can’t subdue it.” Jiang Yi continued: “But I don’t have any serious problems. But it was contaminated with some extreme yin. I was worried that it would affect future cultivation, so I closed for a few days to get rid of it.”

“It’s fine…” Chan Master Chongyi nodded and said: ” As for the ghost fairy, if it doesn’t harm the people, why don’t you provoke it?”

“The master’s words are reasonable.”‘ Jiang Yi also nodded.

“I have made a contract with the ghost fairy for three chapters, and I will no longer gather human experts to intrude on it. It can’t kill anyone anymore. Whether it’s cultivators or ordinary people, it can only be expelled.”

>

“It is based on such a cultivation base and has always been hidden in the Valley of the Underworld. It must also be trying to attain the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and achieve True Immortal. The magic sound echoes in the Valley of the Underworld, and no one will approach it at all times. It’s actually quite stable.”

“It’s just that in the future, Disciple will be more strictly restrained, and the news will be spread out to avoid the same damage to other sect disciples…”

“The main reason is that we also take It can’t do anything about it.” Chongyi Chan master frowned, “I can’t deal with it if I want to.”

There was silence behind the curtain.

Then a slightly weaker response came: “Indeed.”

Talked to the discipline for a while.

Chan Master Chongyi got up and left, and as soon as he walked out of Jiang Yi’s Buddhist hall, he saw Chan Master Rong He hurried over again.

“Abbot!”

Because it was near Jiang Yi’s yard, Rong He didn’t dare to call out loudly, but although his voice lowered, it conveyed considerable urgency.

“I just went to see you and found that you were not in the temple. I was about to come to see Senior Brother Yi Rong.”

“What’s the matter?”

In In front of the ordinary monks, Zen Master Chongyi showed the calmness that he should have as an abbot.

Of course, it was also because the Disciple gave him the confidence before.

“This month’s Shanmen Disciple selection, something went wrong.” some time.

“A Taoist priest with a high cultivation base, who had previously descended into the Netherworld River unscathed, came to participate in the Disciple selection for the mountain gate of my Yunfu Temple…”

Chongyi After listening to the Zen Master, he squinted his eyes and looked towards Rong He,

“Rong He Martial Nephew, that Jianren is a junior Disciple. He is young, his temperament is unstable, and it is normal for some omissions in his work. You have already practiced Zen. More than 30 years, how can you still be so reckless? Eighty percent of this matter… Is it the one who sees the wrong person?”

He said reproachfully.

“The abbot, uncle, that’s not true. You told me that, he will never admit the appearance of the Little Daoist Priest…” Rong He was reprimanded by the abbot and suddenly panicked.

“Did you know…” Chan Master Chongyi lowered his voice and said slowly: “Then there is a ghost in the Netherworld River, and it is easy to be unable to suppress him, so he can only make three chapters with him, and then Returning injured.”

“If you can enter the Netherworld River and come out unscathed, then the cultivation base… must be above the easy, at least not lower than the easy, right?”

“This…” Zen Master Rong He broke down in cold sweat.

“This and the others in the Taoist sect, except for that Tong Wudi… Even if there are, I’m afraid it is some old monster who has been in seclusion for many years. How could it be possible to come to my Yunfu Temple to apprentice, even if there is really some conspiracy , there will also be more proven means to display… How could it be such a child’s play?”

“Indeed, I will go back and tell Jianren to stop thinking about it.” Rong He repeatedly nodded and said.

“It’s not necessary, anyway, the first round selection of Shanmen Disciple is the mirror of the heart, you can just stare at it.”

Chan Master Chongyi said: “Jianren Xiao When I was young, when I saw the tragic death of Senior Brother in front of my eyes, it was inevitable that I would have a heart block. I usually need to guide and appease him more, and pay attention to the tone of voice. I can’t reprimand him like I reprimanded you, you know?”

“Yes…”

Rong Helian claimed yes, although he felt that the dignified abbot of Chongyi still paid so much attention to a small Disciple, it was quite touching…

But He still wanted to say something.

Abbot, I am human too.

I also have feelings for flesh and blood.

…

The next day.

A hundred or so contestants who participated in this month’s Shanmen Disciple gathered in front of a side hall of Yunfu Temple, a huge white square, sun shone brightly.

Among these people are the old players who have participated in the selection for many times or even for many years, there are newcomers who have just arrived with enthusiasm, and there are some harbor ulterior motives, such as some three Jiangnan people who claim to be brothers and look like ancestors. Sun’s contestants…

On both sides of the square, I can occasionally see some monks from this temple passing by. No matter young or old, they all look like either too fast nor too slow and solemn appearance, which makes those who sincerely want to enter the temple to worship the Buddha. The devotees were very excited.

If you can enter Yunfu Temple, you are equivalent to getting an iron rice bowl with guaranteed income during drought and flood. The job content is quite stable, the promotion path is perfect and transparent, and you don’t have to worry about finding a partner.

How nice.

Originally, this monthly selection was presided over by monks from the generation of literati.

After seeing him on the field, the players’ chests were a little taller.

If he performed well enough today and was accepted as a Disciple by Zen Master Rong He, then he would be prosperous…

Zen Master Rong He directly opened the mouth and said:

“Welcome all of you to participate in the selection of the Disciple of the mountain gate of my Yunfu Temple. There should be many devout members who have participated in the selection for many times, and there are also newcomers who have participated for the first time. This poor monk will explain it uniformly. .”

“The First Level selected by the mountain gate is called ‘Mirror of the Heart’. This mirror of the heart is a precious Magical Artifact in my temple, which can reflect the Evil Thought in people’s hearts. Those who want to enter our temple for wrongdoing and scheming, can turn around and leave now, and I will not hold them accountable. This first round did not exceed Li Chu’s expectations. It was nothing more than a background check to eliminate bad guys and ensure the purity of the organization.

Listening to Master Rong He’s words, the crowd whispered, but no one quit. After all, if you can get here, you probably have some understanding, and you will not be persuaded to quit because of these remarks.

That’s it.

There is a huge wooden platform raised by Little Monk behind it, but it is empty.

Then I saw Zen Master Rong He flicking his sleeves, a ray of magnificent light appeared out of thin air, and gathered on the wooden platform to form a large copper mirror about one zhang high, and copper mirror. What mirror faces is not everyone, but an empty direction.

Rong He also drew a red line at the two zhang in front of the mirror.

“All of you please stand in front of this red line later, and stand quietly for 3 breaths time. Because the mirror has a certain stimulation for Divine Soul, so don’t go too far, so as not to be difficult Endure it.” Master Rong He reminded.

As his voice fell, everyone began to step forward in an orderly manner to accept the test of the mirror.

The first person who stepped forward was a young man in commoner clothes. He was a little nervous. Standing in front of the red line, his throat rolled.

I heard Zen Master Rong He suddenly sound transmission behind him and shouted: “Why do you want to enter Yunfu Temple?!”

This sound was like thunder, and the people around could not hear it. When he arrived, he was shocked.

After three breaths, some flowing images appeared on the mirror.

It seems to be a dilapidated cold kiln, in which an Old Lady is lingering on a sick bed, and a slightly childish teenager is kowtowing in front of the bed…

“It turned out that I wanted to practice Buddhism as a Mother heals the disease…”

Chan Master Rong He pointed nodded, “filial piety, pure and good, middle and upper.”

Then there is a middle-aged man with a thin body. The same process. The man stood in front of the red line and closed his eyes, as if he wanted to adjust his thoughts.

Then Master Rong He’s unexpected voice resounded in his mind.

He shuddered.

After three breaths, a large area of blur suddenly appeared on the mirror, and it seemed that some flowing snowflakes blocked all the pictures.

“hmph!” Chan Master Rong He ill-humoredly said: “Full of lewdness, expelled from the mountain gate, and not allowed to re-enter!”

“…”

This scene immediately frightened the remaining players.

Soon…

It’s three brothers’ turn.

Duranke blinked and took a half step back quietly, “Second Brother, I’m a little scared, come first.”

He pushed Qin Zhenghu forward .

Qin Zhenghu blinked and took a half step back quietly, “Abaaa.”

Then pushed Li Chu forward.

Just as the previous person ended at this time, Master Rong He looked towards Li Chu and noticed a small change in their positions, but he didn’t care.

He originally wanted Li Chu to step forward, so he said with a slight smile: “Come on.”

Li Chu was not afraid and stepped forward very calmly. , standing in front of the red line, facing the copper mirror.

A handsome face is reflected in the copper mirror.

Li Chu frowned, looking away.

He doesn’t like looking in the mirror.

Immediately, Master Rong He repeated his old tricks, and sound transmission said: “Why do you want to enter Yunfu Temple?”

In that moment, Li Chu was actually somewhat guilty.

After all, his heart in entering Yunfu Temple is not sincere, but after thinking about it, if he is not sincere, he is not sincere.

Anyway, his and Lao Du’s original plan was to accompany him and let Qin Zhenghu in.

Thinking about this, he calmed down.

However, he was still a little worried that the mirror would expose their plans, so he turned back and glanced at the mirror.

After three breaths.

Suddenly a click was heard.

Then followed by a series of clicks.

Followed by Master Ronghe’s “No way?”

Finally, Hula——

This time, the copper mirror just showed After a little bit of light and shadow, it suddenly cracked, and then shattered all over the place!

“Wow——”

There was an instant uproar in the crowd, and they all didn’t know why such a thing happened.

It’s just that this uproar was mixed with an excited “ah, ah, ah, ah.”

Qin Zhenghu is worried that his impure purpose will be exposed, and he is naturally happy at this time.

That Ronghe Zen master was dumbfounded. This mirror has been used for hundreds of years, how could it suddenly burst open? It’s okay for others to use it, but it suddenly breaks when I push it, so I’m going to be held accountable.

But obviously there was no attack…

Is it something I shouldn’t have seen?

His eyes looked towards Li Chu suddenly suspicious.

At this moment, Lao Du clapped his hands, shook his head and said:

“Aiya! My third brother’s biggest fear in his life was looking in the mirror, and the large and small mirrors in the house were all covered up.

His photo was broken, and he never imagined that this Magical Artifact would not escape the disaster.”

When everyone’s eyes were focused on one of his faces, he immediately raised the volume again, loudly said: “I don’t know if you… …Have you ever heard the legend of ‘Beautiful Mirror’?”

“Those who are extremely handsome just can’t look in the mirror!”
