Mortal Bones

"Amitabha, with the Lord of Heavenly Dharma Protectors here, we will definitely be able to protect the Buddha's disciples this time!"

At this moment, Huiming was extremely grateful that the person next to him was standing with them.

"This treasured armor can indeed give me the strength to fight against the Heavenly Wolf Demon Lord, but when the magic circle fails in two days, the monsters outside will rush over, and I am afraid I will be unable to hold on alone."

Xu Taiping said with some worry.

At present, all he can think of is to take the Buddha's disciples away, fighting and retreating.

But doing so is very risky. Once surrounded by monsters, it will be difficult to escape.

"Lord of Heavenly Dharma Protectors don't need to worry about this."

The abbot Huiming smiled when he heard this, then took out a piece of dead branches from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Taiping and continued:

"After the magic circle is opened, Lord of Heavenly Dharma Protectors only needs to throw this piece of Bodhi branch into the small river at the entrance of the temple, and let it turn into a single-plank bridge across the two ends of the small river."

"What's the use of doing this?"

Xu Taiping was puzzled.

"This single-plank bridge is a Dharma instrument for protecting the temple left by the first abbot of the Pilu Zen Temple. Once the single-plank bridge is built, the monks in the temple will recite the Bodhi Heart Sutra in unison. People from the outside who want to enter the temple can only cross the single-plank bridge."

"At that time, the Heavenly Dharma Protector only needs to guard the single-plank bridge."

The abbot Huiming explained to Xu Taiping with a smile.

"There are such Dharma instruments in this world?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

The abbot Huiming on the side heard this and said with a moved face:

"Amitabha, Huiming thanks the old abbot for your praise."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping got goose bumps all over his body.

He always felt that even if he spit casually now, the old monk would think it was fragrant.

"Wow!..."

And at this moment, the sound of a baby crying suddenly sounded in the temple.

"Amitabha, the Buddha's son is finally born!"

Hearing this cry, the abbot Huiming suddenly put his hands together and said loudly with excitement.

...

That night.

In a hidden meditation room in the backyard of Pilu Zen Temple.

"Abbot Huiming, my husband and I are illiterate, so why don't you give the child a name?"

A plain-looking village woman, holding a baby with a wrinkled face, looked at the abbot Huiming expectantly.

"Yes, Abbot Huiming, we are all rough people and can't give a good name."

A barefoot man next to the village woman scratched his head a little restrainedly.

The man was honest and had calluses on his hands, which were worn out by years of farm work.

"Why not call..."

Huiming, who was about to speak, suddenly stopped his voice, and then looked at Xu Taiping with surprise and said:

"Lord Tianhufa, can you please give the child a name?"

"Ah?"

Xu Taiping scratched his head.

It's ok if you ask him to do other things, but it's really difficult for him to give him a name.

"Lord Tianhufa, do you have any difficulties? Or does the ancient Buddha Kasyapa have other expectations for this Buddhist child?"

Seeing Xu Taiping's hesitation, Huiming suddenly became nervous, and his voice was a little trembling.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping knew that the old monk must be thinking nonsense again, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it."

Hearing this, the abbot Huiming was relieved immediately, and then nodded repeatedly:

"The name of the Buddhist child is of great importance, Tianhufa, please think about it carefully."

But Xu Taiping was a little embarrassed at this time. He thought about it and couldn't think of any good name, but when his eyes fell on the night outside the window, he suddenly had an idea and said:

"Why not call it Yelai."

Hearing this name, the village woman and the farmer frowned, as if they didn't like this name very much.

However, when the abbot Huiming heard this name, his eyes sparkled, and he whispered excitedly:

"Very good, very good, this name is very good!"

Then he excitedly explained to the couple:

"It is said that in the dark Nine Abyss, the only thing that can shine is a small flower called Night-Blooming. The monsters in the Nine Abyss dislike this night-blooming flower the most, but they have tried every possible way, but they cannot completely remove it."

"Our Buddhist sons must be like the night-blooming flower. On the day when the demonic realm descends, they will become the only light in the world that can protect the world."

At the end, the abbot Huiming, who was somewhat moved, actually shed tears.

But Xu Taiping was puzzled when he heard it, and thought to himself:

"I just think that he was born at night, so it is more appropriate to call him Night-Blooming. Why are there so many things to say?"

Hearing the fairy Lingyue in Xu Taiping's mind, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"We... we still think it's better to call him Wangcai."

"Yes, I think it's good to call him Wangcai!"

The impassioned speech of the abbot Huiming did not change the couple's mind, and they still thought that the name Yelai was not good.

In the end, under the temptation of the abbot to teach their children for free, the couple finally accepted the name Yelai, but at the same time they also kept the name "Wangcai" as a nickname for a Buddhist.

"Wangcai, my Wangcai, I don't care if you are a Buddhist or not, you are my Wangcai, hehe..."

"It's mine too."

"That's hard to say."

"You bitch, there are so many people here, don't talk nonsense."

"You are mean to me again!"

"Master Huiming, look, he is cruel to me, and I am the mother of your Buddha!"

Before going out, the couple suddenly had a quarrel, and the abbot Huiming had to act as peacemaker again and began to persuade them earnestly.

Seeing this scene full of human fireworks, Xu Taiping's heart suddenly felt inexplicably warm, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

"Sister Lingyue, I suddenly feel that the name Wangcai is very good."

He stretched and walked out of the meditation room.

"Compared to becoming a Buddha, I think parents all over the world should prefer that their children become carefree and prosperous."

Fairy Lingyue agreed.

…

Two days later.

The magic circle of Pilu Temple began to become loose.

Dozens of cracks have appeared on the dome.

Obviously, the monsters outside the temple also noticed the birth of the Buddha.

But that afternoon, Pilu Temple did something that puzzled the demons outside the temple - it opened the door of the temple and sent out a young man wearing pitch black armor.

This young man is naturally Xu Taiping.

"call……"

Looking at the demons on the other side of the river, Xu Taiping took a long breath and threw out the bodhi branch in his hand.

"boom!"

In just a moment, the bodhi branches turned into a single-plank bridge, spanning the river.

Immediately, Xu Taiping slammed his saber Duanshui on the ground and shouted loudly at the demons on the opposite side:

"Those who want to kill the Buddha should first ask about the knife in my hand!"
