Tianxu Temple is solemn and solemn, with monks everywhere.
With Monk Daochen leading the way, Chen Qingyuan arrived at the Buddhist Hall without any hindrance.
Standing at the door, you can see that the hall is filled with hundreds of eminent monks.
After calming down, Chen Qingyuan followed Monk Daochen and walked in.
All the eminent monks turned to look at Chen Qingyuan, their faces expressionless and their thoughts difficult to guess.
In the deepest part of the hall, an old monk wearing simple shackles sat cross-legged, with his eyes closed and chanting sutras, his expression solemn.
"Abbot, he's here."
Monk Daochen said softly, bowing to the old monk with his hands clasped together.
"I've met all the eminent monks."
Chen Qingyuan bowed forward with a serious look on his face, slightly nervous.
The eminent monks looked at each other and communicated secretly through messages, discussing Chen Qingyuan. They were astonished at the significance of Daoyi Academy sending a monk at the Golden Core Realm.
If a Jindan monk can solve this problem, why would the Buddhist temple seek help from others.
A very few monks showed disdain and displeasure, thinking that Daoyi Academy was insulting Dongtu Buddhist Temple.
However, the abbot of Tianxu Temple has not yet spoken, and none of the monks dared to rebuke him and remained silent.
"We are distinguished guests, no need to be polite."
The old monk opened his eyes, stopped turning the beads in his hand, and stood up tremblingly, his voice hoarse.
Being stared at by the old monk, Chen Qingyuan felt uncomfortable all over.
"This benefactor's name is Chen Qingyuan, and he is the apprentice of Vice President Yu of Daoyi Academy."
Monk Daochen is the abbot's direct disciple and has a very high status. As long as he makes no mistakes in the future, he will most likely be the future abbot of Tianxu Temple.
The monks learned Chen Qingyuan's identity and took a few more glances.
Originally, the monks thought that Yu Chenran would go there in person, but even if it didn't work out, they would send a top elder who was proficient in the magic of the academy. Chen Qingyuan's arrival made them feel confused and a little bit perfunctory.
"Almsgiver Yu is very measured in what he does. There must be deep meaning in his actions. Monks should not have any false thoughts." The
old monk's Dharma name is Xuan Kong. The Dharma is extremely high and can overwhelm the Eastern Land.
"Yes."
The monks did not dare to think wildly and immediately stopped their distracting thoughts.
In fact, the old monk couldn't see through Chen Qingyuan for the time being, and couldn't figure out what Yu Chenran meant. However, he believed that Yu Chenran would not take the matter lightly.
So, the old monk retreated the monks, walked to Chen Qingyuan with staggering steps, and smiled kindly: "Almsgiver Chen, please move."
A side hall of Tianxu Temple was very quiet and no one was disturbing.
The old monk and Chen Qingyuan were sitting very close to each other. There was fragrant tea on the table, and wisps of tea fragrance floated to the tip of Chen Qingyuan's nose. The nervousness slowly dissipated.
This tea has a calming effect and is not a vulgar food.
The old monk in front of him is the leader of Dongtu Buddhism. You can guess from your buttocks that he is an extremely powerful man in the Mahayana period. Facing such a presence, Chen Qingyuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Master, do you have something to convey to you?"
The old monk returned to his original nature. On the surface, he looked like an ordinary person, with a kind face and kind eyes, and was very kind.
"There is something."
When he arrived, Yu Chenran handed a jade slip to Chen Qingyuan, asking Chen Qingyuan to hand it over to the abbot of Tianxu Temple.
That jade slip has a special seal that cannot be unlocked by Chen Qingyuan's ability. Only a very powerful monk can know the contents inside the jade slip.
Chen Qingyuan took out the jade slip and handed it to the old monk's hand.
The old monk looked at the jade slip in his hand and read a wisp of Buddhist thoughts.
Buzz!
The jade slip trembled slightly, and Yu Chenran, who was far away in Beihuang, sensed it and knew that the seal of the jade slip had been broken.
"Old monk, it depends on whether you have the courage to catch this cause and effect. This is a disaster, but it is also a blessing."
Yu Chenran was sitting cross-legged on the water in the middle of the lake, fishing quietly.
Tianxu Temple, side hall.
Chen Qingyuan sat upright and remained quiet.
After a moment, the old monk opened his eyes and understood what Yu Chenran wanted to express.
Looking at Chen Qingyuan again, the old monk's eyes had a different flavor, which was slightly complicated. At a certain moment, the old monk had the idea of letting Chen Qingyuan leave directly.
However, the moment this thought came up, the old monk immediately cut it off, calmed his mind, and said secretly: "Sin, sin."
If Chen Qingyuan's identity and origin were not known, the old monk expelled him, even if he knew it afterwards, it would not matter. .
However, now that we know it, if we drive him away, it will affect his Taoist mind to some extent.
As the leader of Eastern Buddhism, the old monk is very aware of Qingzong's cause and effect, and is also fully aware of Qingzong's contribution to the people of the world. Although driving away the successors of the Qing Sect is not contaminated with cause and effect, it will definitely cause some damage to the Taoist heart.
After all, the purpose of Buddhism is to help the world and save people, so how can it drive away the descendants of Qingzong who have great merits and virtues?
well!
Old man Yu, your conspiracy is so vicious!
The old monk kept looking at Chen Qingyuan and fell into deep thought.
"Why does this old monk keep looking at me?"
Chen Qingyuan muttered in his heart, goosebumps all over his body, and he felt very uncomfortable.
For the future of Qingzong, and for the safety of Chen Qingyuan. Yu Chenran thought for a long time before deciding to tell the old monk Chen Qingyuan's identity.
With the old monk's character and this friendship, he would definitely not harm Chen Qingyuan, nor would he spread the news.
That's why Yu Chenran chose to do this.
Qing Zong suppressed Mo Yuan for 300,000 years, and the merit he accumulated reached an unimaginable level. Just because the way of heaven is blocked by some kind of power, it is unable to bring merits to the world, causing the Qingzong to become worse than the last.
If the Eastern Buddhist Sect helps the Qing Sect and is contaminated by this cause and effect, they may be able to achieve great blessings in the future. However, good fortune is not so easy to obtain, and it comes with great risks.
"Master, what are you... doing looking at this junior?"
Chen Qingyuan felt unwell and asked in a low voice.
"The poor monk felt that Almsgiver Chen was destined to be my Buddha, so he took a few more glances."
The old monk said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Qingyuan laughed awkwardly and did not answer.
"Almsgiver Chen, let's stay in the guest room and rest for two days."
The old monk planned to think about it again.
"good."
Chen Qingyuan could not see what the old monk was thinking.
Immediately afterwards, the old monk asked Monk Daochen to arrange a place for Chen Qingyuan.
In a closed temple, the old monk sat alone under the Buddha statue, beating the wooden fish, and thinking about this matter quietly.
In the past, Buddhism was afraid of the terrifying cause and effect of the Demonic Abyss, and the monks in the sect were never allowed to enter the imperial state, so as not to bring disaster to Buddhism. Now, Chen Qingyuan has come to Buddhism, making the old monk unable to escape and must face this problem head-on.
"Is Buddhism wrong?"
The old monk looked up at the golden Buddha statue and said to himself.
If Dongtu Buddhism had made the same choice as Qingzong back then, the current situation would certainly not be much better!
