Chapter 328 Relic Pagoda Forest
The so-called Zen mind is the mind that turns to the Buddha, and it is also a kind mind.
The Relic Pagoda Forest is not only a place to suppress evil spirits, but also a place where the relics of eminent monks of Leiyin Temple are enshrined. If someone with ill intentions were to enter the Relic Pagoda Forest, it would not only be a disaster for Leiyin Temple, but perhaps a catastrophe for all living beings.
Therefore, those who enter the stupa forest, even if they are not Buddhist disciples, must be people who are wholeheartedly devoted to goodness, and cannot be evil people with wicked intentions. The words of the monk who saved people from suffering are entirely reasonable.
Lin Fei thought for only a moment before nodding and replying, "I wonder if the Abbot intends to test me in this way?"
With a wave of his hand, the monk Du Nan dispersed, revealing the Boundless Jade Wall behind him.
The Venerable Monk who had saved you from suffering spoke up: "This Boundless Jade Disc was left behind by a high-ranking monk of Leiyin Temple. If you can pass the test of the Boundless Jade Disc, I will make an exception and allow you to enter the Relic Pagoda Forest. If you cannot pass, please make another request!"
Lin Fei knew that this was Leiyin Temple's bottom line, and that the Abbot Du Nan would never back down, so he nodded and replied, "I am willing to accept the Abbot's test."
The monk Du Nan nodded and waved his hand. The enormous Boundless Jade Wall shone brightly, radiating golden light that shone upon Lin Fei.
At the same time, amidst the dazzling golden light, the figure of a monk whose appearance was obscured slowly emerged, sitting upright in the center of the jade wall, chanting Zen scriptures, with rays of light shining from above his head.
Lin Fei felt that every syllable uttered by the monk, whose face he could not see, seemed like a huge hammer striking his heart, making him tremble uncontrollably.
The sound of chanting filled his ears, and the glow of the sunset filled his eyes. In that instant, Lin Fei felt an impulse to see through the illusions of the world and immediately become a monk.
"What a powerful Boundless Jade Wall!" Lin Fei exclaimed in surprise. This Boundless Jade Wall was indeed powerful. If one did not have strong willpower, one would probably immediately convert to Buddhism under its influence.
Lin Fei let out a muffled groan, and the image of the Human Emperor appeared behind him. The Human Emperor sat on the dragon throne, also radiating a strong golden light, which enveloped Lin Fei's entire body.
The Human Emperor, who commands heaven and earth and governs all things, is the supreme ruler of heaven and earth. He is protected by the supreme dragon aura, so how could he easily enter the Buddhist order?
This aura of the human emperor is not some evil or heretical aura, but rather the most orthodox, righteous, and vast aura of the human emperor in the world. Even the Boundless Jade Wall has no way to deal with it.
After a while, the figure of the high monk in the Boundless Jade Wall slowly disappeared, and the light on the entire Boundless Jade Wall also gradually dimmed.
"The aura of a human emperor truly does not belong to Buddhism. I wonder if the birth of such an unparalleled emperor is a good thing or a bad thing for our Buddhist sect." The monk Du Nan sighed inwardly and said to Lin Fei, "Very well, since you have passed the test of the Boundless Jade Wall, please come with me!"
……
The monk who saved Lin Fei led him towards the stupa forest on the back mountain.
The stupa forest, as an important place in Leiyin Temple that is no less important than the scripture pavilion, is naturally heavily guarded.
Before the stupa forest, there is the world-famous Vajra Subduing Demon Circle of Leiyin Temple.
The Vajra Subduing Demon Formation was set up by three elderly monks of the generation named Du, whose seniority was the same as that of Abbot Du Nan, and even a generation higher than the heads of the various monasteries of Leiyin Temple.
Apart from the Hidden Sword Elder, who is the best in the world, probably even other grandmasters at the Celestial Realm would not be able to break through this Vajra Subduing Demon Circle.
When the monk Du Nan led Lin Fei to the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle, the three old monks of the Du generation were sitting cross-legged on the ground, their auras subtly resonating with each other, as if they were one.
Lin Fei felt as if he were facing not three seated old monks, but a lurking beast. Anyone who dared to force their way in would likely become its meal.
The three old monks, sitting cross-legged, didn't even open their eyes. One of them said calmly, "Junior Brother Du Nan, what brings you here today?"
These three old monks were actually the senior brothers of the Divine Monk of Salvation, and were ancient monsters who had lived for countless years. Leiyin Temple was known as the orthodox Buddhist sect in the world, and its foundation was unmatched even by the four major Taoist sects such as the Jade Emperor Sect.
"Three senior brothers," the monk Du Nan bowed to the three of them and said, "I am bringing this benefactor Li into the stupa forest today. I hope you three senior brothers will allow us to pass."
The three men, their eyes still closed, replied calmly, "Junior Brother, have you forgotten the rules of Leiyin Temple? No one other than a monk of this temple is allowed to enter the stupa forest. Even disciples of this temple need the guarantee of at least three abbots, and the consent of the head of the disciplinary hall and you, Junior Brother Abbot, to enter. Why did you bring an outsider?"
“My three senior brothers, I have made an exception for Benefactor Li to enter, and the abbots of all the monasteries and the head of the disciplinary hall have also witnessed this. Furthermore, Benefactor Li has passed the test of the Boundless Jade Wall. I hope you three senior brothers will grant him passage,” the monk Du Nan said to the three.
"We three old fellows are merely responsible for guarding this place. Since the abbot and the heads of the various academies have given permission, we three have nothing more to say." One of the three old monks suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with an incomparably sharp killing intent, showing none of the demeanor of a virtuous high monk: "However, if you dare to cause trouble in the stupa forest, don't blame us for not giving you, the abbot, any face!"
"Don't worry, senior brother. Benefactor Li is the ruler of a nation; he would never cause trouble in the stupa forest." The Venerable Monk Du Nan's words seemed to be addressed to the three old monks, but more like a warning to Lin Fei. After speaking, he led Lin Fei across the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle and continued towards the stupa forest.
……
As they approached the stupa forest, the monk Du Nan said to Lin Fei again, "Benefactor Li, this stupa forest is an important place for our temple. Even I cannot allow you to stay here for long."
Lin Fei thought for a moment and then replied, "Three days. I will stay here for a maximum of three days."
The monk Du Nan shook his head: "Three days is too long. Even if I allow it, my three senior brothers outside will definitely not agree."
The monk who saves you from suffering thought for a moment, and then said, "One day. This old monk can only give you one day at most. If you stay here for more than one day, this old monk will have to order you to leave."
Although one day was a bit tight, it should be enough if one worked hard. The Venerable Monk Du Nan had already made an exception by letting him in, and the three old monks guarding the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle outside were not to be trifled with. Lin Fei didn't want to push his luck, so he nodded and said, "Then one day it is. Thank you, Master."
“Please hurry, benefactor. I will come to greet you again in a day.” The monk Du Nan raised his hand and pointed ahead: “The stupa forest is just ahead. I will not accompany you inside.”
