Acting in Tianyin Temple
More than ten days later, in the Divine Great Land, in the sky above the Xu Ni Mountain of the Chord Temple, a big Buddhist sect, a brilliant light fell. A handsome young man appeared from the light and landed outside the gate of the Chord Temple. He startled many guests who came to offer incense. Immediately, a reception monk rushed in. After a while, two monks walked out of the temple hall one after another.
The two monks looked extraordinary. The one behind them was tall, with thick eyebrows and huge eyes. His face was ferocious and he looked dignified. If he was not wearing a kasaya, he would have been thought to be a bandit. However, the other monk standing in front of him was a young monk who was a head shorter than him. He was completely different from him. His skin was fair and his eyes were bright. He wore a moon-white kasaya and looked a little thin, but he did not look down on him.
The two of them clearly saw that Xiao Yicai was dressed as a Green Cloud disciple. They sized Xiao Yicai up carefully. The young, fair-skinned monk first chanted a Buddhist chant and said,"Amitabha Buddha, may I ask if you're from the Qingyun Sect?”
Xiao Yicai smiled and bowed back,""Yes, I am Xiao Yicai of Qingyun. May I ask the names of the two masters?”
"You're Senior Brother Xiao Yicai, the eldest disciple of Senior Uncle Azure Cloud Dao Xuan, the number one in the last Azure Cloud Seven Lineage Martial Competition!”Xiao Yi had just finished speaking when the two of them were shocked. The tall monk immediately widened his eyes and said in a rough voice.
The young monk smiled and said,""So it's Senior Brother Xiao from the Qingyun Sect. I'm the Dharma Idol of the Heavenly Chord Temple. This is Junior Brother Fashan. Greetings, Senior Brother Xiao.”
When Xiao Yicai heard this, he was immediately shocked and said respectfully,""Ah, I've long heard of Senior Brother Fa Xiang of the Chord Temple. He's known as a rare talent in the orthodox cultivation world.”
Fa Xiang smiled slightly and said," Senior Brother Xiao, you've overestimated me. This little monk's aptitude is dull. Only Master Pu Hong will not abandon me and teach me the true Dharma in order to do some good deeds for the common people of the world. However, I dare not be compared to Senior Brother Xiao, a high disciple of Senior Uncle Dao Xuan.”
Xiao Yicai laughed loudly and waved his hand repeatedly." Senior Brother Fa Xiang is too humble."
Fa Xiang still smiled modestly before changing the topic.""Senior Brother Xiao has come all the way here. Please follow me inside to have a cup of hot tea. I've already asked Junior Martial Brother to inform Master. He should have received the news by now and will come down immediately.”
After saying that, he led Xiao Yicai all the way inside. After passing through a few corridors, they sat down in a spacious temple hall. The two of them talked about some things. They had not even taken a few sips of tea when footsteps sounded from outside and a few people entered.
The first one was a dignified old monk with a kind and amiable expression. Xiao Yicai recognized him. This person was the abbot of the Buddhist Sect's Heavenly Chord Temple, Master Pu Hong. He quickly bowed respectfully and said,"Greetings to Martial Uncle Pu Hong and Martial Uncle Wan Fu of the Heavenly Chord Temple.”
Master Pu Hong smiled and nodded. He helped Xiao Yicai up and praised,"After so many years, Martial Nephew Xiao's cultivation has become more and more pure. I wonder how your master Daoist Xuan is doing.”
Xiao Yicai quickly replied,"Uncle Master, my master's body has always been very healthy and there are no illnesses." However, something happened in the Qingyun Sect this month that made his master anxious and mentally tired.”
" Oh, there's actually such a thing." Master Pu Hong's expression was a little unnatural as he continued to ask,""Martial Nephew Xiao, I wonder what's the matter that made Senior Brother Dao Xuan work so hard?”
Xiao Yicai didn't say anything this time. Instead, he took out the broken jade prayer bead and the letter from Taoist Cang Song and handed it to Pu Hong. The Taoist hadn't read the letter, but his eyes swept over the half jade prayer bead. A trace of pain and pity flashed in his eyes. After reading the contents of the letter, he finally put his hands together and chanted the Buddhist name."Martial Nephew Xiao, do you have anything to ask?”
Xiao Yicai nodded and said," Reporting to Martial Uncle, I'm here for two reasons. The first is about the tragedy that happened at the foot of Qingyun Sect's mountain a month ago in Grass Temple Village. This tragedy was extremely tragic. There were 42 households in Grass Temple Village, totaling 247 people. Other than a villager who was scared crazy and two youths, the rest were brutally killed. "We once found traces of a cultivation battle near Cao Miao Village, and we also found this damaged prayer bead in the ruins there. First, Martial Uncle Cang Song identified it as the jade prayer bead that Martial Uncle Puzhi, who visited our Qingyun Sect that day, carried with him. Then, Junior Brother Lin Jingyu and Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan, who had just been accepted by our Qingyun Sect, witnessed it, proving that Martial Uncle Puzhi was indeed in Cao Miao Village that night. Moreover, Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan saw it with his own eyes." The scene of Martial Uncle Puzhi fighting a mysterious person. However, the two of them seemed to have been affected by the aftershock of the battle and fainted at that time. They had no idea about the outcome of the battle between Martial Uncle Puzhi and the mysterious man. Therefore, my master specially asked me to ask Martial Uncle Puzhi who the mysterious man was, what grudge he had with the people of Grass Temple Village, and why he slaughtered all the people of Grass Temple Village, not even the children.”
Xiao Yicai finished speaking and looked at Master Pu Hong. At this moment, Master Pu Hong's kind face had turned pale and his eyes were filled with pain and struggle. Xiao Yicai seemed to be frightened by Master Pu Hong's appearance and couldn't help but take a step back, saying,"Martial Uncle Puhong, you, what happened to you?”
Master Pu Hong's expression became more and more bitter. He kept dialing the prayer beads in his hand and chanting the Buddhist name in a low voice.
Xiao Yicai had no choice but to look at the rest of the crowd, and the confusion on his face intensified. Seeing Xiao Yicai's puzzled gaze, Fa Xiang sighed and said," Senior Brother Xiao, you might not know this, but half a month ago, Third Senior Master Pu Zhi the Divine Monk suddenly passed away, so, this…"
Xiao Yicai couldn't help but let out an "ah" in disbelief. Then, he couldn't help but panic and mutter,"How could this be? When Martial Uncle Puzhi came to the Qingyun Sect half a month ago, wasn't he still fine? At that time, he was still very healthy. Not only did he guide me on some cultivation matters, but he also promised me that if I went to the Heavenly Chord Temple in the future, he would lead me to cultivate under the Immeasurable Jade Wall. How could he suddenly…This is impossible, this is impossible…Martial Uncle Puzhi's cultivation was so good that he could be considered a creation. How could he have passed away?”
As Xiao Yicai spoke, his face was filled with panic and disbelief. His two hands directly grabbed the clothes of Fa Xiang and shook it repeatedly. There was no longer the calm and composed expression at the beginning. It seemed that he was shocked by this matter.
This time, not only Fa Xiang, but Master Pu Hong was also shocked. He could not be sad anymore and hurriedly pressed Xiao Yicai down. With Xiao Yicai's status, if anything happened to him here, the entire Tianyin Temple would not be able to bear it. Master Pu Hong even used Buddhist Zen techniques to pour pure Buddhist power into Xiao Yicai's body to calm the surging blood and Qi in his body. After a while, Xiao Yicai slowly woke up, but he could not help but cry again.
Fa Xiang quickly advised him,"Senior Brother Xiao, you don't have to do this. You don't have to do this."”
Xiao Yicai shook his head repeatedly and said with a sorrowful expression,""Senior Martial Brother Fa Xiang, you don't know this. Although I only spent half a day with Martial Uncle Puzhi, he took great care of me. He didn't even hide his cultivation experience. When he saw that my cultivation was stuck at the ninth layer of the Jade Pure Realm and couldn't improve for many years, he even promised me that he would lead me to the Immeasurable Jade Wall behind the mountain of the Heavenly Chord Temple to cultivate and comprehend. He told me that the wordless jade wall was a thousand years ago when the founder of the Heavenly Chord Temple was still a walking monk. He had strayed into the mountains of Mount Meru and lost his way, unable to walk out. Left with no choice, the Ancestral Master wandered around the forest. He was also born with the affinity of Buddha, and he actually saw a stone wall that was as smooth as jade. At that time, the patriarch was already tired and tired, so he rested under the jade wall. It was said that the patriarch sat under the wordless jade wall for three days and three nights. For some reason, he gradually entered a meditative state from the initial restlessness. He was at ease and calm, entering the realm of perfection in Buddhism. Three days later, he actually comprehended the Buddhist principles under the wordless jade wall.”
When Xiao Yicai revealed the secrets of the wordless jade wall of the Heavenly Chord Temple, everyone present, including Master Pu Hong, paled.
Xiao Yicai didn't seem to notice this and continued,""In addition, Martial Uncle Puzhi also told me that it was said that the founder of the Heavenly Chord Temple comprehended the supreme true technique, the Brahma Prajna, passed down from generation to generation under the wordless jade wall. From this, the position of the Heavenly Chord Temple in the world of cultivation was established. He said that although I was facing a bottleneck, if I could comprehend for three days under the wordless jade wall, I might be able to solve it. I know that the Wordless Jade Wall is the most precious treasure of the Chord Temple, so I didn't dare to expect it. However, Martial Uncle Puzhi told me that Buddhism and Taoism are inseparable. The Taoist skills are profound and wondrous. They are both good at their respective fields. If we can work together to study, we will definitely be able to break through the deadlock. He will definitely try his best to persuade the few Martial Uncles to let me cultivate under the Wordless Jade Wall for three days. Unfortunately, Martial Uncle Puzhi seemed to have something to say to Master later. Master refused no matter what. Martial Uncle Puzhi left without saying goodbye. I originally wanted to persuade Master. He agreed to Martial Uncle Puzhi's request, but he didn't expect that this parting would actually be a farewell. Wu…"
As Xiao Yicai spoke, he started crying again. He cried miserably, which made Fa Xiang and the others feel sad. Master Pu Hong looked at Xiao Yicai's sad expression, and the bitterness on his face became stronger. Finally, his expression became serious, and he seemed to have made up his mind. He said to Fa Shan,"Fashan, take your senior brother Xiao to rest first. Fa Xiang, come with me. I have some instructions.”
…………
Mount Xu Ni, the top of the mountain, Little Tianyin Temple.
At this moment, the main figures of the Heavenly Chord Temple were already gathered here. Master Pu Hong, his attendant disciple Fa Xiang, his junior brother Pu Kong, and even the divine monk Pu De, who was always in seclusion, were present.
In the dark hut, there was only one oil lamp. The lamp was like a bean, swaying in the wind. It was bright and dark, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment. However, no one had the intention of picking the wick for it.
It was silent in the remote wooden house. Master Pu Hong and Master Pu De were both silent. Fa Xiang stood at the side with a pained expression on his face, but he also maintained his silence. Only Pu Kong's face flickered under the dim light.
Finally, it was the grumpy Pukong Divine Monk who broke the silence first. He said,""Senior Martial Brother Abbot, I will never agree to this. The Wordless Jade Wall is an important place of our Heavenly Chord Temple. How can we let others enter so easily?”
Master Pu Hong frowned and said,"The Qingyun Sect and my Heavenly Chord Temple have always been on good terms. We're on the same boat. In that case, Martial Nephew Xiao is not an outsider." Moreover, this was something Senior Brother Puzhi had promised him before he died. Could it be that Junior Brother didn't even want to fulfill his last wish?”
Pu Kong still didn't relent,"" If it was Junior Brother Puzhi's wish, I would have done it for him at all costs. However, when he was alive, he didn't mention anything about Xiao Yicai. Now that Junior Brother Puzhi is no longer around, naturally, Xiao Yicai will do whatever he says.”
"Junior Brother!" Master Pu Hong stopped Pu Kong and shouted,""Junior Brother, watch your words. That Xiao Yicai is Senior Brother Dao Xuan's personal disciple. His aptitude is extraordinary. He's the leader of the Qingyun Sect. The Taiji Xuanqing Dao, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and the Divine Sword Lightning-Controlling True Art. Which one of them isn't unparalleled and invincible? Why would he covet anything from our Heavenly Chord Temple? Besides, Fa Xiang and I were present at that time. Whether Xiao Yicai was telling the truth or not, we can't be wrong.”
Fa Xiang, who was beside Pu Hong, also stood out and said,""Martial Uncle, this disciple was right beside Senior Brother Xiao at that time, and indeed, I didn't see any signs of fraud. Moreover, Senior Brother Xiao came to ask Martial Uncle Puzhi about the tragedy in Grass Temple Village. He didn't know about Martial Uncle Puzhi's situation beforehand. If he faked it and fought with Martial Uncle Puzhi, wouldn't he be completely exposed? Moreover, Uncle-Master Puzhi had always wanted to learn both Buddhism and Taoism and break through the mystery of immortality that had existed for ten thousand years. He had never cared about these gains and losses. Therefore, the disciple thought that Uncle-Master Puzhi must have secretly agreed to Senior Brother Xiao's matter in order to make Uncle-Master Dao Xuan agree to his idea. Unexpectedly, the purpose of this trip was rejected by the Qingyun Sect's sect master, Daoist Dao Xuan, so he did not mention agreeing to Senior Brother Xiao again.”
When Pu Kong heard this, he couldn't find any words to refute and could only remain silent. Master Pu Hong then turned his gaze to the divine monk Pu De and said,""Junior Brother Pude, what do you think?”
The divine monk Pu De looked distressed as he chanted a Buddhist name in a low voice,""Amitabha. Senior Brother Abbot, I'm afraid that's not the main point of this matter. Have you forgotten that cultivating under the wordless jade wall is only Xiao Yicai's personal goal? His true purpose for coming is also Zhang Xiaofan. He's Junior Brother Puzhi…If the Qingyun Sect finds out that he has the Brahma Prajna Mantra of the Heavenly Note Temple, how should we explain it to the Qingyun Sect?？”
The people present were all top figures of the Chord Temple, so they knew about Puzhi's situation very well. Naturally, they could hear the meaning behind Pude's 'true intention' and Zhang Xiaofan's name. They were shocked and fell silent.
For a moment, the small room fell into silence again. Even Pu Kong seemed to have thought of something and didn't say anything. Pu Hong just chanted a series of Buddhist names in a low voice. He didn't object or agree. The room instantly fell silent.
It was late at night. There were already autumn insects chirping on the top of the mountain. It was very noisy. However, the few people in the temple hall had their own thoughts and were not moved by external things. For a moment, the chirping of insects outside highlighted a strange silence.
