Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 188 Host
Xia Yuanyang and the Cao siblings and I walked out of a line of sky and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the sky full of stars and the bright moon. The sky and the earth were full of gloom.

We were originally just trying to capture that Chamazhi plant, but who would have thought that we would encounter all these troubles one after another, from Junhui and Huang Renren in the ninth round to Chu Kuang from Shenquanmen? Then we come to the ghost monk who doesn't know his origin in the first line of sky. Could it be that this is the ordeal given to us by God?
"Old Chen, are we really going to Hongchun Temple to destroy the Lotus Lantern of Thousand Buddhas in Seven Directions? The monk Yuantong inside has made it clear that it is a ghost, and I am afraid it has bad intentions!" Xia Yuanyang whispered to me, and at the same time the rest of her eyes Guang also glanced at the Cao brothers and sisters at the side, a little wary of them.

I smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "I know about this too, but now Senior Sister and Zhuge Ya are all trapped by that monk, and we have nothing to do, we can only take a step forward."

Xia Yuanyang nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Cao Jinbao's siblings came over, and Cao Jinbao said, "You two elder brothers, don't know how to address them?"

I glanced at the two of them. Although Cao Jinbao was young, he had a certain air. Although Cao Jinfang was behind him, although he was older, he seemed to follow his younger brother in decision-making.

I thought to myself, if the three members of the Shenquan sect listened to Cao Jinbao instead of letting that idiot Chu Kuang make the decision, the development of the matter might change again.At the moment, we exchanged names and some simple information with each other. After all, the two groups of us now have the same goal, and it is beneficial to both parties to cooperate on this kind of matter.

The four of them walked on the rugged mountain road, the sky was dim, and a gust of wind blew by, making people's backs feel cold.

Cao Jinbao suddenly said: "Two big brothers, I don't know what you plan to do next?"

"Hey, what else can we do, this black light is blind, why don't we just sneak into the scripture building and steal the seven-square thousand Buddha lotus lamp, and then take it outside to make a deal with that ghost monk." Xia Yuanyang thought. Without thinking, he opened his mouth and said.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Old Xia, you are a pig. The Buddha lamp is more than two meters high and one meter in diameter. It's better to just destroy it if you have the kung fu to hold it to the sky."

"Well, two big brothers, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it is feasible." Cao Jinbao said softly.

I nodded slightly and said, "Tell me."

"I think the reason why the monk asked us to destroy the Buddha lamp is that his origin may be related to the Buddha lamp. We might as well find the abbot of this temple first and ask if we can get some clues about this monk Yuantong. Knowing his origin and purpose, we can make corresponding plans for the next thing. Otherwise, if we rashly destroy the Buddha lamp, then the monk will have no scruples, and we will be just fish on his chopping board. "Cao Jinbao talked eloquently, his words were clear, and he had the demeanor of a general, which made us nod repeatedly.

After discussing with the few people, they speeded up and rushed towards Hongchun Temple under Tianchi Peak. We are all martial arts practitioners, so the speed is naturally extremely fast, but within more than 20 minutes, everyone stood in a Before the ancient temple.

I looked at the tightly closed temple gate in the night, frowned slightly, and had an idea in my heart, so I looked at the temple with the technique of gazing.In an instant, I found that the temple as a whole was enveloped by a faint golden brilliance, the golden light was soft and warm, and the anxiety in my heart quickly calmed down under the comfort of the Buddha's light.I observed carefully and found that there is a place in the temple where the Buddha's light is the strongest. From a distance, it looks like a Buddha has manifested, the light is sacred and bright.

I secretly thought in my heart that the place where the Buddha's light is the strongest should be where the lotus lamp of the Seven Directions Thousand Buddhas is located.No wonder that Yuantong monk didn't dare to come by himself. The surrounding Buddha's light is too strong, and its lethality to ghosts is extremely terrifying. If ordinary ghosts haven't approached the Buddha lamp, I'm afraid they will be rescued by the Buddha's light first. melted.

boom!
Cao Jinfang didn't wait for us to speak, she stepped forward and punched the closed temple gate, the sound was loud, and she punched a big hole in the wooden temple gate.I'm a little annoyed, why is this Cao Jinfang as stupid as that Chu Kuang, we didn't do any serious business this time, we just did it quietly, such an open provocation will only cause more trouble.

"elder sister!"

Cao Jinbao immediately stepped forward to hold Cao Jinfang, and at the same time showed me an apologetic look.

At this moment, footsteps were heard in the temple.

"Who, it's so late at night...ah, who broke the door!"

There was an exclamation, and I saw a bald head protruding from the big hole in the door. With the beam of the flashlight, I saw that it was a young face.

"Hello, little master, we need to see the presiding master of your monastery for some matters, please help to inform." I said to the monk with some embarrassment, after all, I smashed the door of his house in the middle of the night, so it can't be justified.

"Why are you looking for the host? Oh, you broke the door!" The little monk looked angry and didn't like us at all.In the end, Cao Jinbao and I were smiling and promised to pay money to repair the damaged gate. The monk nodded reluctantly, opened the gate and let us in. We also knew that the little monk’s name was Qingyuan.

"Come along, alas, what do you think you are doing to find the host without sleeping at night? Let me tell you, you just met me..." The little monk Qingyuan chattered along the way, It's like chattering, my ears are almost callused, but we have no choice but to bow our heads under the eaves, and the few of us can only walk on patiently.

Finally, the monk Qingyuan took me to a side room, and through the window through the light in the room, I could still see a figure crouching over the table, as if writing something.

"Master, some benefactors said they have something to do with you." Qingyuan yelled into the room.

I saw the figure in front of the table get up and stand up, and quickly walked to the door, opened the wooden door, and revealed an old monk inside. This monk is about 70 to [-] years old, with a gray beard and a clear face. It doesn't look like it has a dusty appearance.

Seeing the few of us, he frowned and said, "I don't know what the benefactors want to do with the poor monk."

Before I could speak, Cao Jinbao on the side said first, "I don't know what the Master's Dharma name is?"

The old monk frowned and said, "The poor monk's dharma name is Yuanming."

My heart skipped a beat, the abbot of the Hongchun Temple in front of me is actually a Yuanzi generation, and with the existence of the seven-direction Thousand Buddha Lotus Lantern, maybe that Yuantong might have practiced in this Hongchun Temple, and this old monk It may have been a generation.

I hurriedly asked, "I wonder if the master has ever heard of Yuantong monk?"

"Yuantong? There doesn't seem to be such a person in my master's generation?" The young monk Qingyuan rubbed his bald head and muttered.

But Monk Yuanming's face changed drastically after hearing my words, he said in a trembling voice, "Yuantong... don't know where did you hear this name?"

I was overjoyed in my heart, it seems that we really found the right person this time, I quickly said: "This matter is complicated, can Master take a step to talk about it?"

Yuan Ming was taken aback for a moment, but immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly let us into the room.

This is a relatively simple bedroom. On the desk next to the bed, there are many Buddhist scriptures. It seems that the monk Yuanming should be studying Buddhism just now.

I turned over and closed the door. After all, this matter is too weird, it's better to be careful.

Right now, I told Monk Yuanming exactly what happened to Monk Yuantong who teased our group in Yixiantian and asked us to come and destroy the Seven-Party Thousand Lotus Buddha Lamp, hoping to get more clues from him.

After I finished speaking, Monk Yuanming and Qingyuan, who had been hanging on all this time, were all shocked, and looked at me stupidly, as if what I just said was a fairy tale.

"How is this possible? I grew up in this Hongchun Temple since I was a child, and I have never heard of the name Yuantong. Don't you guys want to take advantage of the Obon Festival to make up some ghost stories to scare us! Monk Qingyuan opened his mouth in disbelief and yelled.The Obon Festival mentioned in his words is the name of the Ghost Festival in Buddhism.

I ignored him and just looked at Monk Yuanming fixedly.

Sure enough, Monk Yuanming's face moved slightly, and after a light sigh, he said, "Qingyuan, don't speak in vain. Yuantong was indeed a disciple of this monastery."

The four of us were overjoyed immediately, and all looked at Monk Yuanming with burning eyes, expecting what he would say next.

Monk Yuanming took a deep breath, and then said quietly: "40 years ago, my master Huiguang took in a disciple, my junior disciple Yuantong. Although this child is not very old, he is extremely intelligent. He understands the Dharma that Master taught. He only needs to read all kinds of Buddhist scriptures once to understand thoroughly. Even in some Dharma debates, we are speechless because of the debate between our brothers and Master. According to Master’s According to the saying, Yuantong is born with a strong comprehension ability and a deep connection with the Buddha, if he can devote himself to practice, he might be able to attain the Buddhahood again, which made us brothers and sisters very envious at that time."

"It's just a pity that a smart person has the troubles of a smart person. The practice of Yuantong Buddhism is so profound that in the end even the master has nothing to teach him, so he studies the Buddhist scriptures by himself. Because he is too smart, he has learned a lot. More, in the end, I don't know what went wrong, he was tempted by the inner demon, and wanted to use a demonic method to prove his own Buddhism, so as to achieve the goal of becoming a Buddha."

"As everyone knows, one thought of becoming a Buddha and one thought of becoming a demon, but this one thought of his caused a bloody storm at that time."
