Zen Temple.

Located on the top of Lingshan Wuhuanong, not far from Yao Town, although the mountain is not high, the temple is not big, and it has only been built for more than twenty years. However, because it was passed down from Mount Wutai, it can be regarded as a famous family. In addition, the previous abbot Master Zhixing has profound Buddhist cultivation, so it is also well-known in the entire Xin'an County.

Of course, if not for this, Ji Xiao would not have been able to stay in the Zen Temple for nearly 20 years before he reluctantly left.

Although when Jixiao was beheaded and abandoned the market, the Zen Temple was also a little implicated because of the incident that year, Emperor Jin was kind-hearted and ultimately saved the Zen Temple from disaster.

However, just last winter, the old abbot, Master Zhixing, who came here from Mount Wutai with his junior brothers, built a Zen temple and promoted it, passed away, causing this temple, which was originally incense and flourishing, to fall into turmoil.

The reason for the turmoil is very simple. Master Zhixing, like Hongren, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, has two too outstanding disciples.

The great disciple Huiming and the closed disciple Huikong.

Master Zhixing was most satisfied with these two disciples when he was alive, and the monks in the Zen Temple also admired them. However, because both disciples were too outstanding, Master Zhixing was reluctant to choose, so he did not make a choice to take over as the abbot when he passed away.

No other monk in the Zen Temple dared to stand up and compete with Huiming and Huikong for the position of abbot, but they could not resist their choice of their own support.

The eldest disciple Huiming was supported by most junior brothers, while the younger disciple Huikong was supported by a group of uncles.

The two competing with each other have similar strengths, and the same is true for supporting them. This has led to the fact that after several months, Zen Temple has not yet decided to set a new abbot.

Perhaps it is precisely because the stalemate of this must be endless. The monks of the Zhi generation of the Zen Temple who supported their younger disciple Huikong have re-reported the old story, which once again brought up the only stain on Zhixing's life, Ji Xiao.

Seeing that the uncles of the Zhi generation had already torn their faces, even if Huiming was willing to give in, he would not be able to give in at this time. It was related to the reputation of his master Zhixing, and he would not allow himself to give in.

Huikong had to face a somewhat embarrassing situation. As a disciple of the closed door, he was deeply loved by Master Zhixing and had a deep relationship with Master Zhixing. Although these uncles now talked about Ji Xiao in order to help him seize the position of abbot, he was also a little difficult to accept.

So one night, Huikong quietly left the Zen Temple with his certificate of vain and disappeared. Perhaps he went south to continue to promote Buddhism like his master, or perhaps he went north to return to his ancestral home, Wutai Mountain, and practiced Buddhism with peace of mind.

In Huikong's view, as long as he leaves, the cause of the turmoil in the Zen Temple will disappear, and his senior brother will be able to successfully become the abbot, inherit the mantle of Master Zhixing, continue to Guangda Zen Temple, and promote Buddhism.

But he obviously thought too naively.

The monks of the Zhi generation who could not push him in front as a puppet to deal with the anger and suppression of Huiming's sect began to get worse and become a little crazy in order to suppress Huiming's sect.

So, there were all kinds of rumors about Jixiao that appeared in the world about a month ago, and there was also news that the Tianji Pavilion was not sure whether it was true or not, and that there was news that Jixiao was hidden in the Zen Temple.

Some crazy monks of the Zhi generation obviously took advantage of the idea of ​​taking advantage of the people's covetous secrets and treasures left by Ji Xiao, which attracted enough people in the Zen Temple and caused chaos in the Zen Temple. Then they took the opportunity to kill Huiming and others. After those people in the Jianghu left, they could also point the reason why Huiming and others were killed at those people in the Jianghu.

But they never thought that as sects in the world whose heritage is much longer than their Zen temples with only two or three generations, would those old foxes in the world who have experienced all kinds of conspiracies since entering the world? Will they really be so stupid?

...

"It's really crazy!"

In the Zen Temple, after Huikong left, the only abbot of Huiming, the middle-aged monk who was angry several times in recent months could not help but glar at Vajra again.

"Do they want to destroy the Zen Temple that Master worked hard to build?"

"Master Huiming, please calm down first," opposite Master Huiming, a black-clothed man, even his face completely covered. He only had a pair of eyes exposed to the cushion and said calmly, "Master should understand that in order to come and tell the master about these things, I secretly sneaked into the temple. I think the master should not want those people to know about my arrival, right?"

"Amitabha, donor Lin forgive me, the little monk is a little impulsive."

Huiming, who has been devoted to practicing Buddhism since he was adopted by Master Zhixing at a young age, has been able to become one of the candidates for the abbot. He has been profound in Buddhism. However, in recent times, he has been a little restless because of these troubles in the temple. Therefore, he suddenly fell into anger after hearing these news. At this time, when the man in black reminded him, he immediately woke up, immediately stopped his voice, and apologized to him with apologies.

"It's okay," the man in black waved his hand. "If you are in the current situation of a mage, you will be even worse than a mage. I'm just worried that it will attract attention and will be detrimental to the mage."

"Don't be good for the little monk?" Master Huiming, who had just calmed down, couldn't help but frown again, "What does donor Lin mean?"

"Master Huiming is a Buddhist practitioner, so his mind is noble," the man in black glanced at Huiming and continued in a constant tone, "But not everyone in this world is as noble as a wizard."

"Please tell me the donor Lin." Huiming's face was still full of confusion.

"I can come to meet the wizards. Does the wizards think no one will meet those people?"

The man in black finally changed his tone, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but I don’t know if he was ridiculing those people for being overestimated or ridiculing Huiming’s asking questions clearly.

"To be honest, there are countless murders in the world for a few quarrels. For the treasure left by Ji Xiao, the mage thinks they will take action?"

"It seems that donor Lin also wants these so-called treasures?"

The doubt on Huiming's face finally disappeared completely, and his eyes became unrest. Perhaps, his so-called anger just now was just a disguise.

"Master Huiming, I am different from those people, I don't like to kill people."

"The people who can say this are far more terrifying than those crazy people who like to kill."

Huiming's face was still calm, but his eyes looked at the man in black became a little sad.

"If Master Huiming can cooperate with me, I can guarantee that there will be no trace of blood in the Zen Temple." The man in black understood Huiming's meaning, but he obviously didn't care much.

"In a pure place of Buddhism, it is better not to see killing," the man in black stood up, walked to the scroll with Buddhist mantras, and whispered.
