Chapter 394: No Retreat, Only Advance
Chapter 394: No Retreat, Only Advance
"Zhang Bihuai's husband is still alive."
Fan Jing naturally understood what this sentence meant.
If there had not been any other miraculous encounter, it could almost be said that it was the monks from Mount Bodhi who helped suppress the cold poison.
The Qingxuan Sect is not a sect that would punish its disciples at will.
Although Su Fanzhen did not explicitly say why Zhang Wulin was punished, the fact that he was punished was enough to show that Zhang Wulin had made a mistake.
The people of Bodhi Mountain are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the various sects without authorization.
Although Fan Chen has returned to secular life, he still uses the skills of Mount Bodhi, and outsiders will only attribute it to the disciples of Mount Bodhi.
When Fan Chen returned to secular life, he was only in the late stage of foundation building. Why did Zhang Bihuai save him?
In addition to his husband, he probably also wants to establish a relationship with Bodhi Mountain.
No wonder Zhang Bihuai brought people to the ferry a year ago, wanting to see the abbot!
As Fan Jing thought about this, he felt that all the things were connected.
It is almost certain that the cultivator in the Zhang family who used the Bodhi Mountain technique is Fan Chen!
Apart from Fan Chen, there should be no one else in Bodhi Mountain who would act like this!
Help others indiscriminately.
Fan Jing paused in twisting the Buddhist beads and his expression became much quieter.
He stopped and looked at Su Fanzhen, "I'm afraid that man is really my junior fellow apprentice. I will inform the abbot about this matter. Thank you, Su Xiaoyou, for telling me this news.
If nothing unexpected happens, you should go back with me.
Don't worry, Su Xiaoyou, we at Bodhi Mountain will definitely give Qingxuan Sect an explanation!"
Su Fanzhen waved his hand nonchalantly, "He has been taken back by the Zhang family and has nothing to do with our Qingxuan Sect anymore.
Even if it was really the disciples of Mount Bodhi who saved him, you don't have to explain to me, Qingxuan Sect.
What's more, the one who saved him was a disciple of Bodhi Mountain who had already returned to secular life, so this has nothing to do with you, Bodhi Mountain.
It’s just a matter between Fan Chen and the Zhang family.
The worst that can happen is that we can just take revenge if we have grievances or revenge if we have vengeances.”
Su Fan really said this with a smile, and there was no other meaning in his eyes. It was obvious that he was speaking from the heart.
When Fan Jing heard his words, he was stunned again, and after a while he smiled with relief.
"I have been obsessed with appearances. In my heart, I still regard him as my junior fellow apprentice, but I have forgotten that he has abandoned the cause and effect of going up and down Mount Bodhi with me.
However, since you are not a disciple of Bodhi Mountain, you should not practice my Bodhi Mountain Dharma anymore."
The Fanjing Altar suddenly became much clearer. From this moment on, he finally understood the real reason why the abbot did not abolish Fanchen's cultivation.
It's not just because of compassion, but also because of the friendship we once had with fellow temple members.
It's not just about giving Fan Chen a chance to return to the temple.
What’s more important is that he is afraid that his fellow disciples will suffer from mental problems because of this, so he wants them to gain enlightenment.
After the altar was clear, Fan Jing felt that the state of mind that had been stuck for a long time seemed to have loosened.
He immediately sat down cross-legged on the stone steps and chanted "Amitabha".
The Buddha's light instantly enveloped him, and the bronze bell in the temple rang at this moment.
Wu Ku, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Fan Jing, who was already enveloped in the Buddha's light. The smile on his face grew wider.
He said to Leng Zhuxin and the others, "Fan Jing is about to break through. You guys really have a connection with the Buddha.
As soon as he came to my Bodhi Mountain, he solved Fan Jing’s inner demons.
Come with me up the mountain. We don't know when Fan Jing will wake up, so I'll take you to see the abbot first."
Wu Ku was not worried about Fan Jing at all. Buddhist practitioners were different from monks. What they cultivated was the Buddha's heart.
When going through the tribulation, there is no need to go through the thunder tribulation, only the state of questioning one's conscience.
Fan Jing has now gotten rid of his inner demons, and he has always been a methodical person. As long as he sticks to his original intention, he can easily overcome the state of self-examination.
……
After walking up thousands of stone steps, they finally arrived at the temple.
The stone steps lead to the center of the temple. When you climb the last step, you can stand on a lotus platform.
The lotus platform is very large, with five suspended corridors connecting the various courtyards of the temple.
From this point of view, the entire temple was built in mid-air, and the only support was the lotus platform under their feet.
Among the five corridors, the only one that leads forward connects the main hall and the Dharma Hall.
The four lanes on the left and right sides respectively connect the Buddhist room where the abbot and elders live, the Sutra Library, the dining hall, the monk's quarters where the disciples live, and the bell and drum tower.
Wu Ku led them along the path leading to the main hall.
During the day, the abbot and elders mostly preach in the Dharma Hall, and receive guests in the side hall.
The corridor is not too long and it only takes two minutes to walk there.
Listening to the chanting inside, Leng Zhuxin felt that her heart seemed to be much calmer.
They did not enter through the back door, but went around to the front gate before entering the main hall.
The abbot has been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Leng Zhuxin and the others come in, he stood up and said, "Mr. Wu Xiang, I hope you are well.
I already know why you are here.
Why don't you come with me into the side hall and discuss it in detail?"
Although the abbot was talking to Prime Minister Wu, his eyes would occasionally fall on Leng Zhuxin and the other two.
It stayed on Leng Zhuxin and Leng Yao for a long time in particular.
The side hall was empty. After the abbot brought Leng Zhuxin and others in, he asked the monk next to him to bring a cushion and asked Leng Zhuxin and others to sit at the tea table.
The monk poured each person a cup of Bodhi tea that he had prepared long ago.
Bodhi tea is rare. There is only one Bodhi tree in the entire Xuanling Continent, and it is on Bodhi Mountain.
Because it grows slowly, it has remained just a small tree for thousands of years, so naturally not many leaves are picked each year to make tea.
Shen Ningzhao took a sip and found that the taste and effect were not as good as what Jiang Baimo gave her.
But it's also very good.
The abbot dismissed the monks and placed the Buddhist beads in his hand on the table.
"The Buddha gave the Buddha's words yesterday, the path to ascension for the Xuanling Continent will soon be resumed, and I, Mount Bodhi, will do my utmost to protect those who are destined for heaven.
People from the upper realm came here for this matter as well. All sects can send their disciples to Bodhi Mountain temporarily.
But the person of destiny must be with us outside Mount Bodhi, so that we can find a way out for the sentient beings of Xuanling Continent.
This battle is inevitable, and not only the upper realm, but even the divine realm will pay close attention to it.
The person with destiny concerns the future of all living beings, and can only move forward and not retreat!
Not only in our Bodhi Mountain, but also in Penglai, there should be a new birth in the next few days."
The abbot looked very serious.
The fact that Xuanling Continent has become a land abandoned by God is known only to the abbots of Mount Bodhi.
If the cultivators knew that Xuanling Continent had become a land abandoned by the gods, I am afraid that Xuanling Continent would be in chaos.
This matter was not reported to other sects for the sake of the overall situation.
Apart from Mount Bodhi, only the leader of Penglai could know the truth.
Even those great masters like our ancestors who had comprehended the rules of heaven and earth could only temporarily block their path to ascension.
Now that I think about it, the rules of heaven and earth that those Mahayana cultivators comprehended were actually a glimmer of hope for the Xuanling Continent.
A savior can be born in a place abandoned by God.
