The Zen Monastery of Pilu Temple.
In the abbot Huiming’s meditation room.
The abbots of Prajna Temple, Guangze, the abbot of Fanyin Temple, Hongci, the abbot of Ciji Temple, Zhiqing, the abbot of Baima Temple, Qingde, and the abbot of Pilu Temple, Huiming himself, all sat around a small tea table.
On the tea table, an incense burner was lit, a pot of tea was placed, and five tea cups were set out.
And a jade plate for transmitting sound.
Although the five abbots were gathered together, none of them seemed to have the intention of talking. Each of them lowered their eyes, recited Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and the prayer beads on the string one by one.
The golden light transformed by the Dharma blended with the blue smoke in the incense burner and drifted swirled in this small meditation room.
If ordinary monks saw this, they would surely be amazed by this rare scene of eminent monks’ enlightenment.
But for Huiming, the abbot of Pilu Temple, this was a kind of torture.
“I say, brothers, shouldn’t you go back？”
After the last prayer bead on the string was pulled down Huiming finally couldn’t help but open his eyes and glanced at the Westerners in front of him.
“Not in a hurry.”
“It’s still early.”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm.”
The abbots of the Western temples didn’t even raise their eyelids when answering.
“Senior Brother Guangze, currently in the Cloud State, demons are rising in the west, and the Prajna Temple is located in a dangerous place like Tuoyan Pass. In case it is besieged by demons and there is no senior brother like you to guard the temple, I’m afraid there will be chaos.”
Huiming first named Guangze, the abbot of the Prajna Temple.
“Junior Brother, don’t persuade me anymore. Before receiving the message from Heavenly Guardian, I won’t leave.”
Guangze put down his hand and opened his eyes to look at Huiming.
After saying this, he looked at the messaging jade plate on the table and said：
“Unless you agree to let me take this messaging jade plate away.”
“No way！”
As soon as Guangze’s words came out, only three other abbots refused on behalf of Huiming in unison.
“Amitabha…”
Huiming sighed helplessly.
“By the way, it’s almost been three days. Lord Heavenly Guardian should have arrived in the Southern Chu by now, right？”
The abbot of the White Horse Temple, Qingde, calculated by pinching his fingers.
“With that secret teleportation array, three days is enough to reach the Southern Chu.”
Guangze, the abbot of the Prajna Temple, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
“Since he has arrived, he should also send a message to us to report safety. Our Zen Sect doesn’t even have a temple with strong incense in the Southern Chu. The incense depends entirely on the Buddhist halls built by believers. Not to mention Lord Heavenly Guardian, even if it’s us, our mana will be greatly reduced when we go there.”
Abbot Zhiqing of Ciji Temple said worriedly.
“Zhiqing’s worry is not unfounded. It would be fine if he encounters ordinary cultivators, but if he encounters those old monsters in the city, I’m afraid that Lord Tianhu will suffer losses. After all, he is currently just an incarnation.”
Abbot Qingde nodded in agreement.
“It would be great if the Asura Armor could be taken there.”
Abbot Huiming of Pilu Temple said with some regret.
“It’s useless. Unless the Buddhist temple enshrining Kasyapa Buddha is built in the capital of Southern Chu, the Asura Armor is just an ordinary spiritual armor. For Lord Tianhu, it is dispensable.”
Abbot Hongci of Fanyin Temple, who hadn’t spoken before, also spoke up.
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry couldn’t help but emerge in the eyes of all the abbots.
In Youyun Tianchan Sect, it was not easy to continue the Buddhist fate and be bestowed with a Buddhist son.
If something happened to Lord Tianhu, they were worried that in a fit of anger, Kasyapa Buddha would take back the Buddhist son again.
“Although there is no decent Buddhist temple in Southern Chu, the disciples of my Banruo Temple have been spreading the Dharma in the capital for many years and have widely formed good affinities. If they can get in touch with Lord Tianhu, they will definitely be able to assist him to some extent.”
At this time, the corner of Abbot Guangze’s mouth of Banruo Temple slightly raised, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes as he said.
Hearing this, the abbot Huiming of Pilu Temple suddenly understood and thought to himself, no wonder you are so persistent in waiting for the message from the Heavenly Protector.
The folk customs in Southern Chu are tough, and the practice of martial arts is prevalent. The disciples of Banruo Temple are good at external martial arts such as Vajra Gong, and it is indeed suitable to spread the Dharma in Southern Chu.
Abbot Hongci nodded.
Amitabha, not to hide from everyone, my disciple Chongyang has already become the chief instructor of the Golden Saber Guards. In a few days, Southern Chu will send troops to the demons in the Blood Rain Forest and Black Wind Ridge. If there is no accident, Chongyang will be the commander. If the demons in Black Wind Ridge can be successfully wiped out, Banruo Temple is expected to build the first Buddhist temple in the capital of Southern Chu.
The abbot Guangze of Banruo Temple said in a leisurely tone.
As soon as they heard this, the other abbots, including the abbot of Pilu Temple, were all shocked.
They didn’t expect that Banruo Temple had actually done such a big thing without anyone noticing.
Amitabha, our Zen Sect has been trapped in this corner of Chuyun Country for nearly a thousand years, and finally there is a chance to go out. Brother Guangze, you should be remembered for a great merit.
The abbot of Pilu Temple thanked sincerely.
The other abbots also echo ed with a sincere look on their faces.
This is also the merit of all senior brothers. Since the great disaster of Huoyun Temple it has been several hundred years since the master passed on the Dharma to us before his death. If it weren’t for all senior brothers supporting until now, I’m afraid our Zen sect would have already been extinct in Youyun Heaven.”
“Now that Kasyapa Ancient Buddha has manifested again and the Buddhist affinity in Youyun Heaven has been continued, it is a great opportunity for our Zen sect to rejuvenate.”
“And among them, the Heavenly Protector is the key to our rejuvenation of the Zen sect.”
“When Kasyapa Ancient Buddha manifested, he also said that seeing the Heavenly Protector is seeing himself, and the Heavenly Protector is the incarnation of Buddhist affinity.”
“Therefore, we must carefully ponder and treat every word and deed of the Heavenly Protector with caution. Sometimes the Buddhist principle is hidden in just a few words.”
Abbot Guangze of Banruo Temple explained very carefully.
“Amitabha, what Senior Brother Guangze said is really enlightening.”
Abbot Huiming of Pilu Temple once again put his hands together and thanked Abbot Guangze of Banruo Temple sincerely.
And at this moment, the message-transmitting jade disc placed on the coffee table suddenly emitted golden lights.
“The Heavenly Protector is sending a message！”
Abbot Guangze of Banruo Temple was the first to react.
