The Heavenly Journey of Zhuxian

Chapter 132
For the new disciples, Chen Tianxing discussed with the leaders of the various branches and decided to teach them the Taiji Xuanqing Dao first, and then switch to the nameless exercises after they have reached the fourth level of Yuqing.

But at this time, outside Tianyin, Zhang Xiaofan's figure appeared here.A few days ago, Jin Ping'er from the Hehuan Sect personally came to the Ghost King Sect, found Zhang Xiaofan, and told him that Tianyin Temple invited him to visit.

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback at the time, the nightmare that had been hidden in his heart for many years was suddenly stirred up.The Soul Devourer in his hand burst into blue light, and a bloodthirsty light appeared in his eyes.

A face appeared in his mind, and he didn't know how to face him.That dark night many years ago, that bloody night when Pu Zhi fought with Cang Song and he lost everything at the same time.

Whenever he thinks of that person, his heart will sink slowly, so deep, and then the familiar coldness will wrap his whole body, and a thick bloody hostility will envelope him.

At this time, a familiar and warm feeling came, and Bi Yao hugged Zhang Xiaofan with a worried expression on his face.

The cold feeling on Zhang Xiaofan's body quickly subsided, he took a deep breath, his face softened, and gently hugged Bi Yao.

"Yao'er, I want to go to Tianyin Temple. Some things should come to an end" Zhang Xiaofan said with a sigh.

After Baguio heard this, she was silent for a moment, gently stroked her slightly swollen belly, and said, "Okay, the child and I will wait for your return."

Zhang Xiaofan laughed, with a gentle look in his eyes, he gently hugged Bi Yao, kissed her on the forehead for a long time, and then said: "At most three days, at least two days, I will be back. You and Don't worry baby, I'll be fine!"

Zhang Xiaofan left Huqi Mountain alone, and embarked on the road to Tianyin Temple.

Over the years, he subconsciously forced himself not to forget those things, but the more he wanted to forget, those things came flooding in.

On countless nights, he wished he could rush to Tianyin Temple and slaughter it all.But he got married, had the person he loved deeply, and then, Baguio became pregnant, and he kept all of Tianyin Temple and Puzhi deeply in his heart.

It wasn't until this time, when it was mentioned again, that he realized that he had never forgotten it. This incident was like a haze, deeply hidden in his heart, waiting to erupt one day.

Zhang Xiaofan walked in the sky, the sound of howling wind was in his ears.No matter how beautiful the scenery around him was, he didn't have the slightest thought of admiring it.

As he got closer to Tianyin Temple, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and his speed gradually slowed down.

However, no matter how slow the speed is, the distance can be counted.Half an hour later, he still arrived at Tianyin Temple.

Zhang Xiaofan let out a deep breath and put his head down.

Standing on the square of the Daxiong Palace, he looked at the ordinary people around him, with confusion and surprise in his eyes.

For some reason, when he stood in this Great Hall of Great Heroes, he felt inexplicably at ease in his heart.

"Benefactor Zhang, you are here..." Faxiang's voice sounded from behind Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan turned around, looked at Faxiang with a complicated expression.There are also complicated feelings in my heart.

The Daxiong Hall looks majestic and unusual, with white jade as the stone, flat paving as the field, and stone steps stacked in groups of nine, connecting up to the Daxiong Hall, which is as high as ninety-nine and eighty-one groups.Between the jade railings, you can see the majestic hall, which is extremely tall. In front of the hall, thirteen huge stone pillars soar to the sky, more than ten feet high. The golden wall on the top of the hall is brilliant. , in front of the dragon head on each roof eaves, ten auspicious beasts are engraved in different shapes and lifelike.

And His Royal Highness's various carvings are gorgeous and exquisite, far beyond the imagination of the world, and no ordinary person can make them.Behind the Mahavira Hall, on both sides and in front, there are towering halls connected to one another, which are either connected by squares, or connected by winding paths, and some are directly connected, layer upon layer, great Spectacular.

It's just that although this building is majestic and magnificent, it is indeed amazing, but at this moment, what surprised Zhang Xiaofan the most is not these, but on this solemn Buddhist holy place, there are countless mortals shuttling around at this moment, and countless people hold their hands. Incense, kneeling and worshiping Buddha, step square, inside and outside the temple, the incense is so prosperous that it is unimaginable.

The huge Tianyin Temple, which has a high status in the righteous way of the world, is like an ordinary temple, open to countless ordinary people to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Zhang Xiaofan never thought of this, but with all this in front of him, he was even more confused.Growing up on Qingyun Mountain since he was a child, he has long been accustomed to the so-called demeanor of a fairy family, a fairyland in a fairy mountain, which was originally only available to cultivators.On Qingyun Mountain, where have you ever seen an ordinary person come up the mountain to burn incense and pray?
Faxiang smiled slightly and said: "Today happens to be the first day of the new year, so there are more people. Although the temple is full of incense, there are not so many people on weekdays. It's just that every day on the first and fifteenth day, there are people from hundreds of miles around. It’s a custom to come here to worship Buddha.”

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "No, I just find it strange, why do you let the common people come in to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

It seemed quite expected that Faxiang Zhang Xiaofan would ask this question, nodded, made a posture of walking this way, then walked towards the back of the Daxiong Palace with Gui Li, and said as he walked: "Actually, Tianyin Temple also had a relationship with Qingyun earlier. Just like a family like a family, it is not open to the secular world, but after my benefactor Master Pu Hong took over as the abbot, he and the other three uncles studied Buddhism together, made a great wish, and said: Buddha is the Buddha of all living beings, not my own Buddha. Yeah. So I decided to open the mountain gate to accept the people."

At this point, Fa Xiang stopped, turned around and pointed to the road of countless steps leading to the Daxiong Palace, and said, "Did you see that long stone step?"

Zhang Xiaofan nodded, said: "What?"

The Dharma is in harmony with ten ways: "That was when a master uncle saw the steep mountain road. Although the people had the heart to worship the Buddha, there were many weak people who were unable to move up the mountain to fulfill their vows. So he used his great supernatural powers to spend ten years with his own strength. Thanks to this, I forcibly opened up this smooth road to the Buddha Sea on the originally steep mountain road, and I did such a good deed with immeasurable merit."

Zhang Xiaofan's heart trembled, his complexion became serious, he said: "There is such a remarkable senior, may I ask his name?"

Faxiang glanced at him, and after a moment of unexpected silence, he said in a low voice, "That uncle, named Puzhi, has passed away more than ten years ago."

Zhang Xiaofan's body stiffened abruptly, as if the word "Puzhi" hit his mind like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shaking him to pieces.

Fa Xiang looked at Zhang Xiaofan's changing face, which alternates between sadness and resentment, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, let's go, the abbot is still waiting for us!"

Zhang Xiaofan followed the Faxiang and walked over numbly, but his steps that were relatively easy at first had become extremely heavy at this moment.

After walking for a few feet, he suddenly looked back with a complicated expression, and saw the bustling crowd in the distance. Countless people were walking on the stone steps. Old people, men, women, and children walked up the stone steps with pious faces Walking by, chanting the name of the Buddha in their mouths, as if they walked this way, they were getting closer to the Buddha.

The expression on Zhang Xiaofan's face was complicated and difficult to understand, he clenched his hands into fists and then slowly released them, after a long while, he finally turned his head slowly and walked forward.Dharma Xianghe who was waiting in front of him did not say much.

The two went together, leaving only the countless believers and the silent Buddhist path behind, in the world.

This place was originally a human world, not a fairyland or a Buddha realm.

After passing the Daxiong Hall, there is still a long string of temples and temples behind. After all, Tianyin Temple is a famous school, and its grandeur cannot be compared with ordinary temples.

It's just that Fa Xiang took Zhang Xiaofan all the way back, but didn't stop at any palaces and pavilions, just walked towards the back mountain.

Zhang Xiaofan just followed Fa Xiang along the way, he didn't say a word, his face was full of thoughts, he turned a blind eye to the magnificent and exquisite buildings around him.

It was only at the end that Faxiang took him out of the back gate of Tianyin Temple and walked up a small mountain road to the top of Mount Sumeru, Zhang Xiaofan frowned and said: "Why, Master Puhong isn't in the temple? "

Dharma Xiang nodded and said, "That's right. Although the temple is open to the secular world, it is an act of great merit, but monks need to be clean after all. My mentor and several uncles are people who love tranquility. They have always lived in the small temple on the top of the mountain. We also generally call it 'Little Tianyin Temple'." After speaking, he smiled slightly, revealing two pieces of white teeth.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded silently, didn't say anything else, followed Faxiang to the top of Mount Sumeru.

Although Mount Sumeru is not as towering as Qingyunmen Tongtian Peak, it is definitely not low.The Tianyin Temple they came out of just now is already in the middle of the mountain, but they went up this time and walked for half an hour before they saw the plaque of the Little Tianyin Temple.

From the outside, the Little Tianyin Temple is indeed a small character. It can only enter and exit the courtyard three times. It is far from the magnificent Tianyin Temple on the middle of the mountain, but it is far away from the secular world. Bamboo is densely formed into a forest, and the mountain wind blows, loosens the bamboo and shakes, the indescribable tranquility and elegance, compared with the hustle and bustle at the foot of the mountain, it is another taste.

Zhang Xiaofan stopped and looked back, he saw the incense burning in the Tianyin Temple in the middle of the mountain, and the strands of incense were floating, even from such a distance, he could see clearly, there were faint human voices, an indescribable reverence and solemnity meaning.

Zhang Xiaofan stared into the distance for a while, dazed, didn't know what he was thinking, after a long time turned around, Faxiang nodded, and led him into Xiaotianyin Temple.

This place is much simpler than that at the foot of the mountain. The two of them passed through the Buddhist hall in the middle, turned two turns to the right, and walked into the back hall. There are three pure meditation rooms.Fa Xiang walked forward, towards the door of the meditation room in the middle, said loudly: "Master, the benefactor Zhang Xiaofan has come."

Immediately, an old but kind voice sounded in the meditation room, saying, "Please come in!"

Faxiang turned his head and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, then walked into the house, but Faxiang stopped outside, as if he didn't intend to go in together.

Walking into the Zen room, Zhang Xiaofan took a look around, the Zen room was unpretentious, but today, the world's great righteous way, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, Master Puhong, is sitting cross-legged on the Zen bed, holding a string of Rosary, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"You're here." Master Pu Hong said with a calm voice and a smile.

For some reason, facing this divine monk, Zhang Xiaofan's turbulent heart quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Yes."

Puhong closed his eyes gently, and quickly held the rosary in his hand.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Follow me to meet someone!"

"Who are you seeing?" Zhang Xiaofan asked with a jump in his heart.

Pu Hong didn't answer, just walked towards the outsider, and said slowly: "This man has wanted to see you for a long time, and I know that you must also want to see him very much."

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, but subconsciously followed, for some reason, his palms were sweating, his heart beat suddenly quickened, as if there was something frightening in front of him.

Faxiang had been standing quietly outside the meditation room, seeing Master Puhong leading Zhang Xiaofan out so quickly, his expression didn't change much, he just took a step back and stood aside.

Master Pu Hong glanced at him, nodded, without saying a word, he led Zhang Xiaofan to another direction, which was the last small courtyard among the three courtyards, leaning against a mountain wall .

The plain small courtyard is the same as the courtyard outside. It is simply a house against the mountain wall. There is a path in the middle paved with blue bricks, leading to the door. There are grasses on both sides. It seems that no one takes care of it seriously. , Weeds have grown in many places.

Different from the meditation room outside, there is a rather thick black cloth curtain hanging on the door of this room, and apart from this door, there seems to be no other exits such as windows in the room.

Looking at this ordinary and ordinary hut, Zhang Xiaofan felt thirsty in his throat, but clenched his hands involuntarily.

He looked at Master Pu Hong, but he saw that Master Pu Hong had a very complicated expression on his face, like regret, pain, and he couldn't say anything, and he was the same, staring at the small door in a daze Preoccupied.

For a while, no one spoke, and in the silence, only the low humming of insects came from an unknown place in the weeds beside him, and he didn't know what he was calling.

After a long time, Master Puhong sighed softly and said, "Let's go in!"

The muscles on Zhang Xiaofan's face twitched, and he said in a low voice, "Okay."

There was a trace of fear and apprehension in his heart, but also a sense of relief.

He didn't know how to face the man who had ruined him and saved him.

Have you hated him all these years?

Maybe there is!
He suddenly wanted to leave, so he left like this, walking far away.I never want to, never come to this place where that person grew up!
