The moonlight was bright and shining.
In the pitch-black night, the moonlight was a gift from the heavens.
However, in the desolate mountains and treacherous waters of the smoky land in the southeast, the moonlight and the mist seemed particularly sinister.
Even the merchant who valued money as his life did not dare to stay here for long.
These years were not peaceful, let alone this gloomy and desolate mountain forest.
However, tonight was different. A raging flame was burning on top of a dusty mountain. From afar, the flame actually faintly emitted a dazzling golden light.
"Namo Amitabha Night…Duohacata Night…Duodi Night…"
The devout chanting continued.
It was only when the moon rabbit disappeared and the light of the sun shone that the chanting and the extinguished flames disappeared.
"Namo Amitabha…"
Kneeling in front of the bonfire was a handsome young monk with red lips and white teeth.
His expression was calm, and only his red eyes were filled with sorrow.
He clasped his palms and knelt down. He lowered his head and chanted another Buddhist proclamation before saying in a low voice.
"Master, take care…"
As soon as she finished speaking, a few drops of sparkling tears fell onto the ground.
After a while, he slowly got up and swept away the ashes of the fire that had been burning for seven days and seven nights after his master passed away.
The good-looking young monk was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His real name was Chen Nuo, and his Dharma name was Wende. Three years ago, he was picked up by the old monk and brought back to the dilapidated Wannian Temple. After that, he stayed behind and became the only seedling of the dilapidated temple.
From then on, it was already destined that Chen Nuo would become the abbot of this dilapidated temple in the future.
Unfortunately, at that time, he was not interested in it.
If it wasn't for the fact that this place was too remote and evil, he would have long rushed into the world of flowers and flowers to achieve his ambitions.
As a transmigrator, he should be the one who had it the worst, right?
First, he fainted from hunger in the remote mountains, then he ate vegetarian food and prayed to Buddha. It was too embarrassing.
However, he had no choice.
Because this temple was really too remote. Not to mention the ferocious beasts and poisonous insects along the way, with his small body, he was afraid that he would not even be able to reach the nearest county.
Thinking of the old monk who had lost a few teeth and teased him, saying that he would have to come back crying if he could not walk more than two miles, his expression became a little bitter.
"You don't look like an accomplished monk.”
Chen Nuo could not help but laugh bitterly.
As the ashes were swept away, 12 shimmering golden sariras appeared in front of him.
"Ha, old man, I didn't expect you to become a Buddha even after drinking and eating meat ~"
Chen Nuo was delighted for the first time when he saw the golden pill.
He carefully put away the Buddhist treasure and sarira left behind by the old monk. He returned to the temple hall and placed it into a box. Then, he hugged the box and fell asleep.
After the old monk suddenly passed away, Chen Nuo did not sleep at all. He relaxed and soon fell asleep.
In the dream, the old monk grinned, revealing his few remaining teeth.
"Wende, why don't you go and roll around in the mortal world?”
This question was almost the old monk's pet phrase for teasing Chen Nuo.
In the past, Chen Nuo would glare at him and reply,"
" I'll leave after you pass away and leave behind your sarira. I'll sell it for money, drink wine, eat meat, marry a wife, and have children…"
This time, Chen Nuo looked at the old monk who treated him well from the bottom of his heart and replied with a smile.
" Because I can't bear to part with you…"
Hearing this answer, the old monk smiled even more happily. His aged body, which was covered in age spots, emitted a brilliant Buddhist light. Three halos condensed behind his head and slowly rose into the sky, turning into a great sun.
"Go, Wende, do what you want to do, my good child…"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chen Nuo woke up abruptly and panted heavily.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and looked at the wooden box that contained the sarira in his arms.
"Hmph, you don't have to say that, you haunting old fellow!”
He spoke fiercely, but his face was full of smiles.
Obviously, he was happy to see the old monk transform into Buddha in his dream.
He couldn't help but open the wooden box again. He gently stroked the sarira with his palm, as if he was feeling the old palm. His handsome face was extremely peaceful, and he actually had the bearing of an accomplished monk.
However, the next moment, that aura vanished into thin air!
"Ah! Heavens!"
Clang...
As Chen Nuo jumped up, the wooden box fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
As for the sarira, it had disappeared into thin air!!!
"Ding…Absorbing high-purity energy body, Soul Ferrying System activating…"
"Ding, the Soul Ferrying System has been activated…"
Chen Nuo was completely stunned!
System?
Absorbing high-purity energy bodies?
"I swallowed the sarira?"
At this moment, he really did not know whether to be happy or to commit suicide to comfort the old monk's spirit in heaven.
"Phew…"
He turned stiffly to look at the Buddha statue and said in a hoarse voice,
"With your cultivation, you won't mind, right? After all, this is considered us becoming one…"
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and he seemed very unconfident.
"Why don't I agree to take over the position of host and not renounce asceticism…"
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you agree ~"
