“Amitabha, with the protection of Heavenly Protector Taiping, we will surely be able to protect the Buddha’s Son this time!”
At this moment, Huiming was extremely glad that the person beside him was on their side.
“This treasure armor can indeed give me the strength to fight against the Demon Lord of Heavenly Wolf. But when the magic array fails two days later and the demons outside rush in, I’m afraid I’ll be hard-pressed to hold on alone.”
Xu Taiping said worriedly.
At present, the only thing he could think of was to take the Buddhist disciple and flee, fighting while retreating.
But doing so was extremely risky. Once surrounded by the demons, it would be very difficult to escape.
“There’s no need for Heavenly Protector to worry about this.”
Abbot Huiming smiled when he heard this, and then took out a withered branch from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Taiping, continuing:
“After the magic array is opened, Heavenly Protector only needs to throw this Bodhi branch onto the small river in front of the temple, and let it turn into a single-plank bridge spanning both ends of the small river.”
“What’s the use of doing this?”
Xu Taiping didn’t understand.
“This single-plank bridge is a magic weapon for protecting the temple left by the first abbot of Pilu Temple. As long as the single-plank bridge is set up and the monks in the temple recite the Bodhi Heart Sutra in unison, people outside who want to enter the temple can only cross the single-plank bridge.”
“At that time, Heavenly Protector only needs to guard the single-plank bridge.”
Abbot Huiming explained to Xu Taiping with a smile.
“There is actually such a magic weapon in this world?”
Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
When Abbot Huiming on the side heard this, he said with a touched expression:
”Amitabha. On behalf of the old abbot, Huiming thanks Lord Xie Tian for your praise.”
This made Xu Taiping’s skin crawl.
He always felt that even if he just spat casually now, this old monk would think it was fragrant.
”Wow!…”
And just at this moment, the cry of a baby suddenly rang out in the temple.
”Amitabha, the Buddha child has finally been born!”
Hearing this cry, the abbot Huiming suddenly put his hands together and said excitedly and loudly.
……
That night.
In a hidden meditation room in the backyard of Pilu Zen Temple.
”Abbot Huiming, our husband and wife are illiterate. Please name the child for us?”
An unremarkable village woman, holding a wrinkled baby, looked at Abbot Huiming expectantly.
”That’s right, Abbot Huiming. We’re all rough people and can’t come up with any good names.”
A barefoot man beside the village woman said, scratching his head a little restrained ly.
The man was honest and simple, and his hands were full of calluses, which were obviously ground out by doing farm work all year round.
”Then how about calling…”
Huiming, who was just about to speak, suddenly stopped, and then looked at Xu Taiping in surprise and said:
”Lord Tian, can you please give a name to the child?”
”Ah?”
Xu Taiping scratched his head.
You can ask him to do other things, but when it comes to naming, it’s really difficult for him.
”Heaven Protector, is there any difficulty for you? Or does Buddha Kasyapa have other expectations for this Buddhist son?”
Seeing Xu Taiping hesitate, Huiming suddenly became nervous, and his voice was a little trembling when he spoke.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping knew that the old monk must be thinking too much again, so he quickly waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, let me think about it carefully.”
Upon hearing this, the abbot Huiming suddenly relaxed and then nodded repeatedly, saying,
”The name of the Buddhist son is of great importance. You think about it carefully, Heaven Protector.”
At this time, Xu Taiping was a bit in a dilemma. After thinking about it, he couldn’t come up with any good names. However, just as his gaze fell on the night outside the window, he suddenly had an idea and said,
”How about calling him Yela?”
Upon hearing this name, both 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 shone with golden light, and then he excitedly whispered with a flushed face,
”Very good, very good, this name is very good!”
Then he excitedly explained to the couple again,
“According to legend, in the pitch-black Jiuyuan, the only thing that can emit light is a small flower called Yelai. The demons in Jiuyuan hate this Yelai flower the most, but no matter what methods they use, they just can’t completely remove this Yelai flower.”
Our Buddha son must also be like that Yelai flower. On the day when the descends he will become the only light that can shelter the world.”
At the end, the abbot Huiming, who was a bit emotional, actually shed tears.
And Xu Taiping just listened with a puzzled face and Secretly speaking :
“I just thought that he was born at night, and Yelai is a more appropriate name. How could there be so many sayings?”
The Fairy Lingyue, who heard what Xu Taiping was thinking in his heart, couldn’t help but giggle.
“We… We still think it’s better to be called Wangcai.”
“Yes, I also think that Wangcai is a very good name!”
The abbot Huiming’s impassioned speech did not make the couple change their minds. They still felt that the name Yelai was not good.
Finally, under the abbot’s temptation of teaching the child to read for free, the couple finally accepted the name Yelai, but at the same time, they also retained the name “Wangcai” as the Buddha son’s nickname.
“Wangcai, my Wangcai, I don’t care if you are a Buddha son or not, you are my Wangcai, hehe…”
“Also mine.”
“That’s not certain.”
“You woman, there are so many people here, don’t talk nonsense.”
“You’re being fierce to me again!”
“Abbot Huiming, look, he’s being fierce to me again. I’m the mother of your Buddha son!”
When they were about to go out, the couple suddenly started arguing. Abbot Huiming had to play the role of a peacemaker again and began to persuade them earnestly beside them.
Seeing this scene full of the flavor of the world, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly felt inexplicably warm, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Sister Lingyue, I suddenly also think the name Wangcai is very good.”
He stretched and walked out of the meditation room.
“Rather than becoming the Buddha son Yela, I think all parents in the world should prefer their children to become the carefree Wangcai.”
Fairy Lingyue expressed her agreement.
……
Two days later.
The array of Pilu Temple began to show signs of loosening.
Above the dome, dozens of cracks had appeared crisscrossing.
Obviously, the demons outside the temple also Perceived the birth of the Buddha son.
However, that afternoon, Pilu Temple did something that puzzled the group of demons outside the temple – it opened the gate of the temple and sent out a young man in black armor.
This young man was naturally Xu Taiping.
“Whoosh…”
Looking at the group of demons across the river, Xu Taiping let out a long breath, and then threw out the bodhi branch in his hand.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the bodhi branch turned into a single-plank bridge, spanning across the small river.
Immediately, Xu Taiping forcefully smashed the saber Duanshui onto the ground and loudly shouted at the group of demons on the opposite side:
“Those who want to kill the Buddha son, first ask the saber in my hand!”
