I can't be a demon

However, even if Shen Lian tried his best to cover up, Huang Mei still saw through it at a glance, and the frequency of knocking the turtle shell in his hand also increased slightly.

"Little nephew."

"I thought you had already understood the truth of the door, but I didn't expect that you were also full of karma in your heart."

"With your current level of Taoism, I'm afraid you can't meet Jin Chanzi. Come with me, and I will teach you to practice Buddhism next."

Huang Mei didn't care at all, but revealed his admiration for Shen Lian.

Shen Lian just felt creepy.

Huang Mei was more terrifying than any enemy he had encountered before. Even if the recollection was false, it made him feel deeply afraid.

But no matter what, this trip really can't be retreated.

Shen Lian will inevitably have a battle with Xiao Leiyin Temple in four hundred years. If he can take the opportunity to understand Huang Mei, it will be worth the trip.

Dong.

Dong Dong.

The sound of wooden fish, the sun shines through the clouds on Da Ci'en Temple.

In the third reincarnation, the whole memory was filled with heavy rain, except for the sunshine in Da Ci'en Temple, which attracted countless pilgrims.

All the pilgrims were dignified, but their compassionate facial features were extremely distorted.

Huang Mei seemed to want Shen Lian to see the faces of the pilgrims clearly. Walking in the prosperous palaces open to the public, the discussion came into his ears.

"I heard that Wangjiazhuang outside the city died overnight?"

"Wangjiazhuang usually does not respect the Buddha, but takes the ancestors in the ancestral hall very seriously. It is no wonder that they are regarded as consumables for practicing Buddhism."

"Why bother? Isn't it good to become a Buddha with us?"

"Great kindness."

………

Shen Lian suddenly felt sick, and inexplicably felt nauseous.

He had been in the deep and boundless underworld and was not so sick, which shows how crazy Da Ci'en Temple, known as the Buddhist country on earth, is.

Huang Mei smiled and walked towards the main hall, and all the pilgrims knelt down wherever he passed.

They chanted Buddha's name, but their expressions showed eight-tenths of fear, and the remaining two-tenths of greed, which was beyond words.

Dong, Dong, Dong.

The wooden fish beat more and more. Huang Mei did not use any Buddha's light, but with the crisp sound, he actually mobilized the desires of all living beings.

There was an old man who was already old, but he was jealous of the body of the child.

He wanted to live forever.

There was a woman with peerless beauty, but she was not willing to be just a mere courtesan.

She wanted to be king and emperor.

There were officials with many wives and concubines, but they were attracted to the woman who could not get him.

He wanted the collapse of human relations.

There were rich people with huge wealth, but they were jealous of the Buddha in golden thread and jade clothes.

He wanted to become a Buddha on the spot.

………

Shen Lian couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp. Even in the future when there were demons everywhere, it was far less shocking than the Da Ci'en Temple at this moment.

When the main hall came into view, tens of thousands of pilgrims were kneeling.

Although the pilgrims were all transformed by the little white dragon, their minds had long been lost, and they had completely forgotten their identities and played their respective roles.

Huang Mei half-revealed his sharp teeth, enjoying the admiration of the people, "Little nephew, do you think they are worshipping me?"

Shen Lian answered truthfully: "No, they are worshipping the magnificent temple."

Huang Mei sneered: "If it was a dilapidated temple in front of us, even the Buddha's magical powers would not be able to get such incense."

The Mahavira Hall was extremely luxurious, and the open door could see the inside of the hall at a glance.

The 100-meter-long Tathagata Buddha statue was cast by pouring gold, and the magic weapon in Tathagata's hand was inlaid with rare agate and amber.

The surface of the four pillars was decorated with silver, and the decoration was wonderful; the windows made of colorful glazed glass flickered with light, like a dream; corals were dotted between the walls, becoming a little light between the eyebrows in the picture of the 100 Buddhas making a pilgrimage.

The gatekeepers bowed their heads and retreated, but an old monk came to meet them diligently.

The old monk was dressed the same as Huang Mei, and his expression was clearly imitating the latter. His status should be the current abbot of Da Ci'en Temple.

"My Buddha."

"There are thirteen disciples receiving the ceremony this time, six of whom are from Da Ci'en Temple, and the remaining six are descendants of high-ranking officials."

The old monk stared at Shen Lian for a few breaths, and could not see through the latter at all.

Although he did not have the Buddha nature on the outside, he was still valued by Huang Mei. He had never seen Huang Mei personally lead the uninitiated disciples to tour the temple.

Huang Mei did not even look at the old monk, and said lightly: "Let them all wait in front of the main hall, and I will enlighten them one by one."

"Little nephew, come with me to place the Buddha statue of my senior brother in the main hall."

Shen Lian nodded, vaguely aware of the origin of the Buddha statue.

Seeing this, the old monk could not help but interrupt and said: "My Buddha, the Buddha statue needs to be wiped of dust before entering the temple, so why not let the disciples take care of it."

There was naked jealousy in his eyes.

He is clearly an ordinary person, without any trace of Buddhist practice, and he does not seem to have Buddha nature, so why can the Living Buddha pay so much attention to him.

And I have practiced Buddhism for more than 300 years, and I recite Buddhist scriptures diligently every day.

My behavior strictly abides by the Buddhist rules, and even accumulates the rare Da Ci'en Temple. Is my Buddha nature not enough! !

Shouldn't it be me who steps into the Great Hall together? ! !

Huang Mei did not respond and walked into the Great Hall first.

No matter how much the ants on the roadside clamored, they could not distract him at all.

Shen Lian felt that Huang Mei valued him, but it was definitely not a good thing. At present, Huang Mei is a complete lunatic.

Stepping over the steps, in the interweaving of light and shadow inside and outside the hall, he heard Huang Mei muttering to himself.

"The Buddha said that the suffering of sentient beings is mostly due to not abiding by the precepts and indulging in lust, so I established the rules and precepts in the Great Ci'en Temple."

"What do you think? Are sentient beings suffering, happy, sad or happy now?

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. What kind of rules and regulations are these? They are more like playing with people's hearts, using greed, anger, ignorance and hatred to magnify everyone's desires.

"I can't tell."

"Hahahaha, whether you admit it or not, you and I are the same person."

Huang Mei stepped into the main hall. In addition to the Tathagata Buddha statue in the center, there were three or four hundred Jin Chanzi Buddha statues with different expressions on both sides.

"Jin Chanzi, look at the disciples you found before you died."

"Either you are stubborn and become food for others on the way; or you are hypocritical and become a monk in Da Ci'en Temple."

Huang Mei looked at Shen Lian and said happily: "The last one is the least like you, but the same as me. It's really ridiculous."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and scanned the 283 Jin Chanzi Buddha statues with different expressions.

If nothing unexpected happens, each statue contains a part of Jin Chanzi's body, which should be transported by 283 people.

Shen Lian didn't know whether Jin Chanzi was dead or alive, but he definitely had a bet with Huang Mei.

The two hundred and eighty-three people may not have seen Jin Chanzi, but they were selected by the latter to send various parts of the body to Da Ci'en Temple.

"According to the original historical trajectory, it was Tu Wa Zi who transported the last Buddha statue."

"Tu Wa Zi was infected with a cold but couldn't bear to see his uncle carrying a heavy object. He was kind-hearted, but he had no chance of winning against Huang Mei."

"That is to say."

"Jin Chanzi used himself as a chess piece to make a bet, and lost everything?"

"No."

Shen Lian remembered that Huang Mei in the future sensed the breath of the lotus platform and immediately came out of the world. It didn't look like he won the bet.

It seems that there are still changes in this game of Da Ci'en Temple.

How did a dead person win?

Shen Lian didn't say anything. He didn't dare to agree with Huang Mei's statement that the two of them had the same argument. His goal was to get the Tang Dynasty back on track.

Haha, how could he be the same as Huang Mei, a demon who killed people, set fires, and bewitched people's hearts.

Shen Lian didn't know.

In fact, Huang Mei has seen through his true nature.

He does not respect immortals and Buddhas, and disdains the existence of heaven and Lingshan. He does not care about the principles of immortals and Buddhas to restrain the mortal world.

He does everything according to his own likes and dislikes.
