Chapter 255 Pilgrims go up the mountain

With the cultivation base of the second level of the Buddhist realm, and knowing his own strength, even in the face of some ferocious beasts, he can still kill them.

So, you searched in the mountains, trying to find some small animals as your own lunch.

After searching for several hours, you are surprised to find that there is not a single beast on this mountain, not to mention tigers, leopards, and wolves, but hares, squirrels, snakes, such common animals, there is not a single one.

You have come to the spring where you draw water every day.

The water quality of the spring here is very sweet and extremely clear, and a large lake has been formed.

Normally, the fish in this water quality are the most delicious.

You took off your monk robes, jumped into the lake, and swam for a while before you went ashore a little unwillingly. Your face was extremely ugly.

Because, in the entire small lake, there was not a single fish.

There are no animals in the mountains and no fish in the water. Even if these two situations are not superimposed, it will make people feel incredible. What's more, here, the two things are superimposed.

"It must have something to do with the demons suppressed under the temple."

You came to a conclusion directly, and without thinking about it, you returned to the temple directly.

In the middle of the night, you and Void had already finished the fasting meal and were chanting scriptures in the main hall. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the temple.

You looked at the void at the same time, and found that it was actually hidden back.

It's just that Xu Zang's appearance was a little gray, and the yellow monk's robe, which was still clean, was now full of holes, torn into strips, and covered with stains.

"Senior Brother Xuzang, what's wrong with you??"

You can't help but ask.

Xu Zang heard the words, first with a look of embarrassment, and then said helplessly.

"Junior brother wasted, the nearby villages are too poor."

It turned out that when Xu Zang went out this morning, he was full of confidence. He had cultivated Buddha for many years, and naturally he already knew how to manifest himself in front of people.

Moreover, Xu Zang's cultivation base is not low at all, and it is simple to fool ordinary people. .

However, when Xu Zang came to the nearest village, Xu Zang was dumbfounded. What is the situation? There are only a dozen families in a huge village, and all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Many people don't even have clothes, and rely on grass skirts to cover their shame.

When I saw Xu Zang entering the village, there were a bunch of children who were very tired, and they immediately surrounded them, all of them opened their eyes and looked at Xu Zang eagerly. .

Xu Zang was very helpless, so he gave some of the coins that he had promoted to these children.

Only then did he successfully leave the village.

Afterwards, Xu Zang went to several nearby villages one after another, and without exception, all of them were like this.

And his clothes were also surrounded by a group of children when he was in a village, saying that they would not let him go, and even came up to tear them up, which caused him to be so embarrassed.

As a monk, Xu Zang, although he also has the angry eyes of King Kong, can't do it against a bunch of children.

In this way, Xu Zang fled the village in a very embarrassed way, but returned to the temple reluctantly.

Void saw Xu Zang's appearance without any surprise. He had already thought of this result when Xu Zang went out in the morning. In the past, he also wanted to go to a nearby village for alms.

However, after a few visits, Void gave up on this idea, for no other reason, these people are too poor. .

The villages here are all honest farmers, but there are no wild beasts on the mountains here, and there are no fish in the water.

Encountering a bad year, it is directly fruitless.

In this way, if it continues, whoever has spare money can donate it to the temple.

Nowadays, the operation of the temple is entirely dependent on some large families in distant places, who come to the temple to offer incense and worship during the festivals.

Obviously, Void still has some scheming, and made Xu Zang suffer a little.

. . .

"On the eighth day, as usual, you continued to carry water and work. Next to the stream, you happened to see a large sedan chair, slowly driving up the mountain. There is only one temple on this mountain. It's what Void said, a big family who came to offer incense."

Your walking speed is obviously faster than that of the bearers, so after the water was drawn, you returned to the temple ahead of schedule and said to the void.

"Senior Brother Void, a sedan chair came down from the mountain. It should be the pilgrim of the big family you mentioned."

As soon as Void heard it, his spirit suddenly came to him. Seeing that the temple was about to run out of rice to cook, the pilgrims who came at this time naturally had to be warmly entertained.

So Void hurriedly put out some props, and told you not to do anything excessive.

Since it was the first time you met a pilgrim going up the mountain, you didn't continue to carry water, but stayed in the temple, waiting for the pilgrim's arrival.

Not long after, a large sedan chair slowly stopped at the entrance of the temple, the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and a middle-aged man in a green official uniform and an official hat came down.

Looking at the face of this middle-aged man, you can't help but be a little confused. This guy, at first glance, is not a good person. The gloomy aura on his body and his unique temperament can make people judge at a glance that this is a man. bad guy.

Bad people come to the temple to offer incense? This makes you a little strange.

"Haha, Master Void, I Li Gang came to pay homage to the Buddha, eh? Is there another master?"

When Li Gang saw you, he was obviously taken aback for a moment. Thinking that he came to this temple often, he knew the environment here very well.

"Master Li is polite, this is my junior brother, and the name of the law is wasted."

Void hurriedly explained.

"It turned out to be Master Xu Du, the old man is polite."

Li Gang didn't look down on you at all because you were junior and junior, but he bowed to you very respectfully.

Of course you can't ask for a big one, and you give back.

"Wudu Junior Brother~lightnovelpub.net~ This benefactor Li is a great benevolent person, and he is also our local parental official. In recent years, he has often come to our temple to offer incense, donate some incense money, and donate some clothes. A person who sincerely worships the Buddha."

You suddenly realized that this official master is also the parent of your own small temple. No wonder you look at Void so solemnly.

Void took you and led Li Gang to the main hall, and saw Li Gang kneeling sincerely in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, not knowing what he was saying.

Then he respectfully kowtowed, and inserted the three long incense into the incense burner.

At this moment, you saw the Guanyin statue, the jade bottle in your hand flashed out, and directly entered Li Gang's body.

Your eyes suddenly lit up, but you never thought that in this world, if you come to the temple to give alms, you can actually be sheltered by the Bodhisattva.

However, before your surprise is over, you see a green light again appearing on Li Gang.

"This breath seems to be, demonic??"
