90,000 Years of Longevity

Soaring Cloud Temple, outside the hall.

Whether it was a young monk or an older monk, they were greatly shocked by the situation in front of them.

"Master Abbot, disappeared?" Someone whispered in bewilderment.

"Just now, I clearly saw that he passed through this wooden door... We are all behind watching him, how could he just disappear like that?" A monk opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with doubts.

"What happened today is so strange! First, there was a disturbance, then the Buddha statue collapsed, then the Master Abbot's strange performance, and then the mysterious wooden box was opened, plus the current incident!"

There were also some monks who seemed to have thought of something, whispering softly, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Didn't you see it just now? Outside the door, it wa obviously another scenery! But when we walked over, the scenery became normal again! This is only the means of the gods, no, it is the means of the true Buddha."

In this courtyard, the monks rushed out, looking everywhere.

It was a pity that the scene they saw was clearly the courtyard of the Soaring Cloud Temple.

Whether it was Ye Bei or Master Yi Deng, they had long since disappeared.

Hu, hu!

The mountain breeze was constant and somewhat cool.

Those winds seemed to be blowing from all directions.

The cool breeze penetrated the clothes, letting these monks feel cold all over. When they stood in the courtyard, they were all stunned.

Their minds began to show pictures about Ye Bei...

At the same time, when Ye Bei walked out of the wooden door, the leisurely voice continued to echo in their minds.

That voice seemed to have a mysterious power.

It seemed to be able to wash people's hearts.

When they calmed down, they unknowingly and gradually entered a mysterious state…

...

"Ancestor, where is this?"

In another deep jungle, Master Yi Deng looked at the surrounding environment in surprise, and then at Ye Bei who was walking in front.

Just now, he was clearly in Soaring Cloud Temple. But the moment he stepped out of the wooden door, he arrived at another place. 

Regarding this change, even if he was regarded as an eminent monk, he still couldn't calm down.

"On the way to Lingshan Temple!" Ye Bei spoke, his voice very casual.

"Lingshan Temple?" Master Yi Deng paused for a second before resuming his pace again in shock.

Then he raised his head and looked into the distance...

Sure enough, there was a mountain in the distance, and on that mountain, there was a lonely small temple.

Others did not know, but Master Yi Deng knew very well that it was Lingshan Temple.

"There is obviously only one entrance to Lingshan Temple. Where does this road come from?"

After determining the position, Master Yi Deng, who was behind Ye Bei, found that when Ye Bei was advancing, there was a small mountain road, which was less than one meter and very narrow, but there were no weeds.

Ye Bei whispered back, "That's just because you only know one."

The road was very narrow. It was true that there were no weeds, but many plants were planted along the road.

There was a tree full of thorns. There were some dark red marks hanging on the long thorns. It was obvious that an animal was seriously injured when it passed through it.

There were plants full of fruit, there were also some animals on them. They were greedy and satisfied, but when they saw Ye Bei and Yi Deng pass by, these animals suddenly dispersed.

There were bare lawns, green and charming under the sun.

There were blooming flowers in different types and colors, but the mixed floral fragrance was very light and invigorating.

Over time, with the surrounding landscape constantly changing, Master Yi Deng, who was originally full of doubts, also slowly became quiet.

He no longer thought about why he came here, nor did he think about what he should say when he was about to see Master Wood Spirit.

At this moment, his heart was extremely calm.

As if everything was no longer important.

As if detached from the world.

This was more powerful than usual meditation and chanting.

The surrounding scenery made his mood unconsciously and constantly improving.

Ye Bei's pace was very slow.

He was also thinking that no one was more familiar with the surrounding scenery than him.

The road was not long.

But when Ye Bei was walking, there was a feeling of inexplicability.

As if he was traveling through the long river of time, his eyes became more vicissitudes and deeper in an instant.

"We'll arrive soon." After walking for a long time, Ye Bei spoke.

The sound seemed to possess a kind of magic.

After the voice fell... Master Yi Deng, who had fallen into a state of emptiness, trembled suddenly, and his thoughts instantly withdrew.

Looking up again, he found that he had already unconsciously walked to the gate of Lingshan Temple.

"After so many years, apart from becoming dilapidated, this place is still the same as before. Who would have thought that the legendary Lingshan Temple would be so barren? You can't even see a single figure! However, there are countless big people dreaming to go to Lingshan Temple, wanting to see Master Wood Spirit inside."

Yi Deng's mouth sighed softly. But his eyes were staring at the wooden door of Lingshan Temple.

This wooden door looked very old, very dilapidated, with rust stained on it as if it would fall apart with just a touch.

Other than that...

The front door of the temple was empty.

There was no tripod. There was no incense burner either. It looked barren to some extent.

If it weren't for a plaque hanging obliquely above the wooden door, no one would know that this was the legendary Lingshan Temple.

People might even feel that this was just a dirt house that had long been abandoned.

"These are just superficial! The situation inside is different." Ye Bei seemed to know Yi Deng's thought and spoke.

"Actually, when I came here a few times before, I could only stand and wait at the door! Unfortunately, after this wooden door, Yi Deng never went in." Master Yi Deng started, and continued, his eyes complicated but a bit fanatical.

"Let's go in." Ye Bei said softly.

Then he lifted his foot slightly.

Squeak!

In front, the dilapidated wooden door made a natural creak as if someone was pushing it.

When Ye Bei walked to the wooden door, the whole door opened wide.

From the outside to the inside, it was a courtyard.

It was empty inside, no one was visible. The yard was full of weeds, there were also several decaying benches laid out in a row.

"Could it be that the people in Lingshan Temple have all left? It doesn't look like a place where people have lived."

After Yi Deng passed through the door and looked inside, he was startled and said with some doubts.

But Ye Bei ignored him this time. Ye Bei continued to walk forward.

The moment Ye Bei stepped onto the threshold of Lingshan Temple... Suddenly, the entire temple changed, defying the logic of the world.

Yi Deng who was still thinking about his doubts was instantly stunned.
