Mirroring the changes

Just after the group of people left, a monk suddenly appeared in the dark alley.

This monk was handsome and looked young. He had a bag hanging on his back and was covered in dust. He had obviously come from afar.

"Master, you should be practicing here." The little monk looked around.

After the small temple was taken away by Ah Gua, the only light disappeared.

"Did I find the wrong place?"

The little monk spread out his left hand with a puzzled look, pinched and calculated on his palm with his fingertips, and finally frowned slightly: "It turns out to be a variable."

He sighed and raised his hand to rub his bald head, which was exactly the same as the big monk's action.

"Forget it, let's find a place to settle down first."

After the little monk muttered a few times, he turned and left the alley.

...

The moon is at the top of the willows, and people make appointments after dusk.

The city of Suiye is bustling with people, and it is more lively than at the beginning.

After all, Ah Gua was a child at heart. His big eyes flickered as he looked around, and he found everything new and interesting.

This made him like Li Sao, and they soon became close friends regardless of age.

"Go over there, there are delicious foods over there."

"Over there, there are fun things over there."

Although Ah Gua was short, only reaching Li Sao's waist, he was surprisingly strong.

Before, he easily lifted the small temple with one arm, so this time he dragged Li Sao around.

Li Chen looked at the two of them speechlessly, but the big monk beside him seemed to be used to it.

"Big monk, how did you meet Master Xukong?" Li Chen suddenly asked.

This Master Xukong once left a verse of 'Red Lotus Weeps Dew, Killing Life Drinks Sky'.

After that, the Killing Life Temple was closed for two hundred years, until Li Chen made the Killing Life Red Lotus bloom, and the Killing Life Temple returned to the world of cultivation.

So Li Chen was very curious about this Master Xukong, and he even guessed that everything was fueled by this Master Xukong behind the scenes.

Monk Xinguang rubbed his head with his big hand, but his face was full of smiles: "It can't be said, it can't be said."

"Everything is just a chance."

Li Chen failed to succeed, but smiled: "Master Xinguang, maybe Master Xukong just said it casually."

"How can I help you break through the bottleneck with my shallow practice?"

This Master Xinguang looked loose, but Li Chen couldn't see through his cultivation, I'm afraid he was at least in the external realm.

Who knew that upon hearing this, Monk Xin Guang swore with great confidence: "What Master Xu Kong said could not be false."

"He only taught me to follow you, but he did not ask you to instruct me."

"As long as I follow you, things will come naturally and opportunities will come naturally."

Here he smiled: "Master Li Chen, no matter what, you can't get rid of me."

Seeing that his thoughts were guessed, Li Chen coughed lightly with embarrassment: "Ahem, everything is up to Master Xin Guang's own wishes."

The group tossed around until midnight before returning to the inn to rest.

The next morning, everyone was ready to set off.

The waiter saw Monk Ikkyu leave, and his mouth was almost grinning to the sky: "Master Ikkyu, take care~"

"Well, don't worry, I'll be back in a few days and talk to your boss about Buddhist scriptures."

"Ahem~"

Li Chen, Li Sao, Ikkyu, Xin Guang, and a boy who had not been ordained.

The five people followed the rising sun, left Suiye City, and headed towards Chanye City.

The journey was safe and sound, and it took less than two days for the five people to arrive at Chanye City.

"Sunlight on the Golden Mountain!!"

With a shout in their ears, everyone looked up and saw that the sky on the distant mountain was bright, like a golden mountain.

Monk Yixiu was refreshed and couldn't help but sighed: "Sunlight on the Golden Mountain is worthy of being one of the three major scenic spots of the Great Leiyin Temple."

"At this time, I feel infinite hope in my heart, and I can't help but worship it."

After saying that, he put his hands together and bowed deeply.

But the monk Xinguang next to him yawned: "If you ask me, I might as well sleep a little longer~"

"Master is right~ It's better to sleep a little longer." Ah Gua lay on Li Sao's back. Nodding vigorously.

Li Sao was stunned, and immediately threw his hands: "Great, so you woke up a long time ago."

"Pretending to sleep!"

Agua didn't wake up in the morning, and Li Sao carried him all the way.

At this time, he threw his hands, and Agua landed steadily on the ground, laughing.

"Little monk is really a good mount~"

"Ask for a beating!"

Although the two are one tall and one short, one big and one small, their temperaments are the same.

Outside the gate of Chanye City, the two guards saw that they were monks and didn't even ask questions.

"Go through Chanye City, go out from the west gate and walk a few miles to Xiaoling Mountain."

Li Chen nodded. Two days later would be April 15th, the day of the "auspicious Dharma Assembly".

"Let's find an inn to stay in first." Monk Ikkyu looked around.

But Li Chen frowned: "Looking for an inn?"

"Why not go directly to the Great Leiyin Temple to register?"

The Great Leiyin Temple has a huge industry. There is a "Guest House" at the foot of Xiaoling Mountain for wandering monks to register.

The monks who came to participate in the Dharma Assembly in the past two days can rest in the "Guest House" first.

At this time, Ikkyu suddenly said that he wanted to stay in an inn, so Li Chen suddenly asked this question.

Monk Yixiu's face froze, but he sighed: "This time we will attend the auspicious ceremony, the Great Leiyin Temple may not welcome us."

"Humph, this is not bullying customers." Li Sao was a little angry.

Li Chen groaned and said: "I want to see the style of the Great Leiyin Temple."

Then he continued to walk towards the west gate.

Li Sao saw this, but he was in high spirits: "Haha, it has to be Senior Brother."

"They just need to be disciplined!"

And Monk Xinguang followed Li Chen without hesitation: I don't care about the others, where Li Chen is, I am there~

Needless to say, Tongzi Agua also jumped and followed behind.

Only Monk Yixiu looked at the inn not far away, and then looked at the backs of everyone, and finally sighed: "Oh, well, at worst, I can come back!"

After that, he hurriedly followed.

Just as Monk Yixiu said, after leaving the west gate of Chanye City, walking three or four miles, you will reach the foot of Xiaoling Mountain.

The closer we got to Xiaoling Mountain, the more monks there were on the road.

When we reached the foot of Xiaoling Mountain, we could see bald monks everywhere.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a six-story building, which was probably what Ikkyu called the "Guest House".

At this time, all the monks who came to participate in the Dharma Assembly had lined up outside the Guest House.

At the front of the long queue, there was a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and in front of the statue was a huge bronze incense burner.

On one side was written the words "Da Leiyin Temple".

All monks who wanted to stay in the "Guest House" must first burn incense to the Buddha statue and kneel down to worship the big tripod.
