Chapter 164 Baoguang Temple (monthly ticket plus 3 updates)
There are many people on the road to becoming a monk. Hundreds of people climb the three-meter-wide road. At the beginning, everyone sticks to their original intentions, but unknowingly the desires in their hearts are aroused. They walk to the side fork and go down the mountain step by step.
Wang Xuan walked out step by step, and hallucinations kept appearing in front of his eyes. There were countless hills of gold, silver and treasures. It seemed that he would become a millionaire as long as he walked forward.
Beautiful women, dressed seductively and beautifully, speaking sweet words and being at the mercy of others, circled around him and seemed to be waving at him.
Hundreds of delicious dishes exude delicious aromas. If you are a greedy person, you will definitely not be able to resist.
……
There were fewer and fewer people around him. Wang Xuan saw through the illusion and walked all the way to the top of the mountain. The only ones who could accompany him were Su Xiaowei and a middle-aged man with a bitter face.
"Xiao Wei, didn't you see those hallucinations?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I saw it, but I knew it was fake at first glance. I don't believe it." Su Xiaowei said.
Just now, an illusion of Wang Xuan appeared beside her, and the illusion told her that he would not take her up the mountain and would go back to the new area with her.
She didn't believe such a good thing. Wang Xuan was determined to bring her here, so he wouldn't change his decision easily.
The climbers who were lured down the mountain by the illusion looked at the three people with envy, wishing they could take their place.
If one can take this path of becoming a monk, one can stay in Wanfo Mountain and enjoy eternal bliss and freedom from worries, which is what countless believers desire.
Young people with outstanding talents are more likely to enter the legendary Baoguang Temple, the supreme temple, and become immortal and divine beings.
After they climbed the mountain, the Buddha's light cleared their minds of distractions. Wang Xuan was not affected, but was in a place with his own divinity. He was afraid that staying in such a place for too long would affect his will.
But it was obvious that he was worrying too much. Such Buddha's light was to attract believers. As for the temples where monks lived, there was no such Buddha's light.
Inside the Wanfo Temple, there are small Buddha statues enshrined. The monks here study Buddhism and they are all truly virtuous and accomplished people.
As for the level of cultivation, it may not be very high, because Wanfo Temple is only the outer gate of Baoguang Temple, and only those with true teachings can enter that truly sacred place.
Wang Xuan talked with the monk and found out that Monk Mingjing had indeed given instructions. After he reported the matter, someone came to take him away soon.
There was a golden light above the head and auspicious clouds under the feet of a tower. An arhat came and enveloped the three of them. Suddenly, his figure disappeared on the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain and entered a vast world.
Wang Xuan didn’t know what Tianjian Mountain looked like, but Baoguang Temple was very different from what Wang Xuan had imagined, and it was even more different from Xianwu Mountain.
He discovered that this strange space in Baoguang Temple was actually spherical, with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. There were towering mountains on the surface. Standing on the mountain, one could only see a few nearby mountains, and looking up, there were endless stars.
As for where exactly the temple of Baoguang Bodhisattva was, he asked the arhat and the arhat pointed down at the ground. It turned out that the core of the mountains was the real Baoguang Temple.
"It is a blessing that the Xianwu disciple has come." The arhat smiled. He was the sixth disciple under the seat of Puji Bodhisattva. Naturally, he knew that in a few decades, Wang Xuan would also become a powerful man.
As for Su Xiaowei, she is the ninth disciple of Puji Bodhisattva and also the youngest disciple, with six senior brothers and two senior sisters.
The place where Puji Bodhisattva practiced Buddhism is called Wuyou Temple. The top of the mountain is flat, as if the peak has been cut off. The slope of the whole mountain is very gentle, and green pines and bamboos are planted everywhere.
In the temple, people can calm down unconsciously and eliminate distracting thoughts. It is very suitable for studying scriptures and practicing Buddhism.
The entire alien space is filled with rich spiritual energy, and there is a faint Buddhist energy floating around. For Buddhist monks, it is an indescribable blessed land.
"Donor Wang, this Bodhi tree was planted by my teacher himself when he attained the bodhisattva status. Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and its canopy is like a cloud.
If disciples of the mountain gate sit quietly under the Bodhi tree, they can use the Bodhi tree to increase their wisdom, comprehend Buddhist principles to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and suppress evil thoughts with miraculous effect. "
Wang Xuan nodded. This Bodhi tree, which was as vigorous as a dragon, was definitely a top-grade fairy species and could not even be seen by the outside world.
Monk Mingxin took the two of them on a tour of the mountain. This area would be where Su Xiaowei would live in the future, and they would stay here for a long time.
“This lotus pond is planted with Buddha lotuses, which can be refined into lotus pedestals. They have very good defensive properties and can gather purity and expel impurities. Disciples can use these to practice outside without delaying their progress.
This Golden Body Pool was created by my master using the milk from the Wuyou Mountain veins after collecting many spiritual objects. Long-term bathing is very beneficial for refining the golden body. My colored glaze Dharma body was refined here."
Monk Mingxin personally led Wang Xuan on a tour. These places were all important areas of the mountain, but Wang Xuan had a high status, so he was treated so well.
Wang Xuan praised: "This place has a profound heritage, it is indeed a good place for cultivation."
He looked up and saw a golden light shining in the sky. A figure was stepping on a lotus platform. Golden lotus emerged from the ground and rose from the ceiling. The figure landed on Wuyou Mountain step by step.
"Greetings, Senior Puji." Wang Xuan bowed respectfully.
"How is your master He Laoliu doing these days?" Pu Ji asked with a smile.
"Same as always." Wang Xuan said.
Puji nodded: "Good."
Compared to Su Xiaowei, he actually preferred Wang Xuan to be his disciple, but unfortunately he was slower than He Fang in his actions. Moreover, he felt that if Wang Xuan did not become a true Buddha, he might become a great demon. The former was fine, but the latter was a direction out of control.
Human hearts are unpredictable, and Wang Xuan’s future is naturally unpredictable. He should worry about what he should worry about, and there is no need for him to worry about it.
"I'm surprised you sent Xiao Wei here. She really wants to stay in the secular world and doesn't want to go up the mountain. It's been a headache for me."
Puji’s words made the little girl pout. Wasn’t she here already?
He touched Su Xiaowei's head and said, "Don't worry, this is not your cage. If you are annoyed or miss home, you can always go back and live for a while."
Hearing this, Su Xiaowei nodded heavily, and only then did she feel that the old monk had a kind face.
Such a strange place seems so sacred and unique. Every blade of grass and every tree is extraordinary, and you can pick up treasures just by raising your hand.
Each of the little monks seemed very spiritual, which made Su Xiaowei feel for the first time that her previous talents and intelligence were not so outstanding here.
She was at a loss, and held Wang Xuan's hand tightly, which seemed to make her feel more secure.
"Wang Xuan, can you stay here with me for a few days? Just a few days." Su Xiaowei pleaded.
Wang Xuan hesitated: "It depends on what Senior Puji thinks. It is not appropriate for an outsider like me to stay in Baoguang Temple."
Puji smiled and said, "It's okay to stay for a few days. You can also watch the girl's initiation ceremony."
"Then after you leave, will you come back to see me?" Su Xiaowei's pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.
Wang Xuan shook his head, and his heart hardened: "Baoguang Temple is an immortal place, I can't come here whenever I want. Under normal circumstances, I can't come here."
"Then I will go down the mountain by myself and go back to the new area to see Aunt Yuzhen and Qiubai. Then I will be able to see you."
Su Xiaowei’s brain worked very well and she felt that she had found a good idea.
Wang Xuan smiled. He originally wanted the little girl to stay away from him and not be disturbed by him. Baoguang Temple, this new place, was enough to wash away her past thoughts.
Memory is a lake. If the water inlet changes, over time, the original influence in the human memory lake will naturally fade.
"I will probably stay at the mountain gate to practice most of the time, and I'm afraid I can't come out casually."
Wang Xuan's words made Su Xiaowei pout. She felt that Wang Xuan had been fooling her and wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
"Hmph! Liar!"
There are only ten masters and disciples in Wuyou Mountain. Su Xiaowei was taken away to prepare for the initiation ceremony, but Puji and Wang Xuan had some time to spend together alone.
"Wang Xuan, didn't you originally hope that Xiaowei could stay in the secular world for a while longer? Why did you send her here in person?" Puji asked.
"Baoguang Temple is an immortal holy place. With your care, she will have a bright future. It is better to come earlier." Wang Xuan said.
Puji shook his head: "I'm not senile and confused. I can see that the girl has a heart of her own."
“It’s hard to say.” Wang Xuan said.
Puji said: "There is nothing wrong with it. Buddhism does not avoid this. You need to have small love before you can have great love. You can only let go after you have picked it up.
As for her future, she needs to make her own choice. I will not force her.
If one day she wants to return to secular life, then we will grant her wish."
"That's very kind, senior." Wang Xuan said.
He sent Su Xiaowei here, but suddenly realized that he had too much influence on the girl. In that case, he decided not to see her again.
Two days passed in a flash, and when the little girl had a bald head, Wang Xuan was about to leave Baoguang Temple.
"It really depends on the person. Xiaowei, look at your bald head. It looks better than others."
While talking and laughing, Wang Xuan touched the smooth head with blue hair still on it.
"It's so ugly." Su Xiaowei frowned.
Wang Xuan said: "It's okay, if you practice hard enough, it will only take a day or two for your hair to grow to waist length, it's nothing.
Now that you have settled down here, it is time for me to leave."
Su Xiaowei was reluctant to leave and asked, "When will you come to see me?!"
"When you grow up." Wang Xuan waved his hand and his figure disappeared instantly.
(I suddenly realized that the plots these days are quite bland. This is a rhythm of courting death. Last month's monthly ticket extra chapters have been paid off, so I don't owe any debts.)
