I Can’t Be a Sword God

In the deserted Buddhist hall, the door is closed.

There are several light gauze curtains hanging in the room, which can be automatic without wind.

On the futon, the handsome monk in white slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain countless divine lights, the depth of which was hard to describe.

But looking at it for a second time, I suddenly felt that it was not ordinary, as if it was just a monk with gentle eyes. Those beautiful auras, it's hard to know where they went.

"Master, don't worry about me."

He spoke slowly, his voice warm and pleasant.

"That's what I said, but how can I not worry about you? If something happens to you, who will maintain the reputation of Yunfu Temple? Do you rely on me?"

Opposite him, beyond a few curtains, an old monk wearing a jeweled golden cassock sighed, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are the master of a temple, even if the disciple is fine, don't you have to rely on you?" The monk in white said in a polite tone.

"Hehe." The old monk laughed twice.

These two are the two highest-ranking monks in this generation of Yunfu Jingdi, the abbot of the temple, Zen Master Chongyi, and his disciple, Zen Master Yi.

Zen Master Yi is naturally Jiang Yi, a monk in white who is famous all over the world.

And Zen Master Chongyi, who was his master, was not well-known in comparison. So much so that when the world mentions Yunfu Temple, Jiang Yiyi is the first thing that comes to mind, but they don't think of who the abbot of the temple is.

In fact, Chan Master Chongyi’s fortune really depended on his disciples.

At the beginning, among his peers in Yunfu Temple, he didn't stand out in any way, and even seemed a little clumsy.

But he took in an apprentice who defied the sky.

Jiang Yi's rise was too fast. He became the most famous monk in Yunfu Temple in his teens. Ninety-nine out of ten pilgrims came to him, and the number of believers who toured Zen was tens of thousands of times that of some old monks. , the advancement of cultivation base is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

Although at that time, many seniors in the temple could not understand Jiang Yiyi and ridiculed him for preaching the Buddha through his face. But the anger is there, Jiang Yi's strength is also against the sky, even if he is impeccably strong, no one can do anything about it.

Such a person will naturally be promoted.

But if you want to promote him, you have to promote his master first, otherwise you can't let the apprentice step on the head of the master.

If you want Jiang Yi to be a supervisor, then his master must be more or less the head of the hall; if you want Jiang Yi to be the head of the hall, then his master must be more or less the head of the squad; If you want Jiang Yi to be the leader, then his master should be more or less an elder; if you want Jiang Yi to be an elder, then his master should be more or less an abbot...

etc?

On the day he became the abbot, Zen Master Chongyi was in a daze.

Good job...

It's like riding a horse and dreaming.

Many years later, someone asked Chan Master Chongyi how he felt at that time. Zen Master Chongyi was still a little excited, he let out a breath of foul air slowly, and said softly:

"It's still quite stressful. In fact, I haven't figured it out until now. How can I become the abbot of Yunfu Temple when I am a good supervisor?"

"Apprentices lead the door, practice is up to the individual."

However, a few days ago, two young disciples of the first generation secretly went to the Dark Water Valley to pick natural materials and treasures, but one of them lost his life.

When the other came back, he reported the matter.

After all, Mingshui Valley is dangerous, so no other elders were sent from the temple, and Jiang Yi went directly to it.

Unexpectedly, after a fight with the ominous creature in the Styx River, he came back wounded.

Now Zen Master Chongyi panicked a little.

After waiting for two days, he finally waited until Jiang Yi's healing was over, so he hurried over to condolences to his disciples.

...

"It's the disciple's recklessness that made the master worry." Jiang Yiyi apologized softly.

"I thought it was just some ordinary ghosts under the water, but unexpectedly it is a ghost fairy who has practiced for an unknown number of years."

"Ghosts?" Zen Master Chongyi was startled.

Just like human cultivators can cultivate into land gods, some ghosts can also choose to cultivate into ghost immortals. It's just that compared to the land gods who are already rare in the world, ghost immortals are a more difficult road.

It is far more difficult than a human body to prove detachment with a yin crippled body.

Even if it goes back tens of thousands of years, the collection of all ghosts and immortals that have appeared in the human world since ancient times may not exceed the number of hands.

"And that ghost fairy probably has a lot of origins, and he is proficient in many fairy arts. With my current cultivation, I can't subdue it." Jiang Yi continued: "But I don't have any serious problems. I was worried about affecting my future practice, so I retreated for a few days to get rid of it."

"It's fine..." Chan Master Chongyi nodded, and said again: "As for the ghost, if it doesn't harm the people, why don't you provoke it?"

"What the master said is reasonable." Jiang Yi also nodded and said.

"I have made an agreement with that ghost fairy for three chapters, and I will no longer gather human masters to harass it. It is also not allowed to kill another person, and it is only allowed to expel both cultivators and ordinary people."

"With this level of cultivation, it has always been hidden in the Dark Water Valley, presumably because it wants to prove the Dao of Heaven and Earth and become a true immortal. The magic sound echoes in the Dark Water Valley, and no one will approach it when it is idle. In fact, it is quite safe."

"It's just that in the future, we must strictly restrain the disciples, and at the same time spread the news to prevent the disciples of other sects from being similarly injured..."

"The main reason is that we have nothing to do with it." Zen Master Chongyi frowned, "We can't deal with it even if we want to."

There was a moment of silence behind the curtain.

Then came a slightly weak response: "Indeed."

Talked with the apprentice for a while.

Zen Master Chongyi got up and left, just as he walked out of Jiang Yi's Buddhist hall, he saw Rong and Zen Master rushing over again.

"Abbot!"

Because it was near Jiang Yi's yard, Rong He didn't dare to call out loudly, but although his voice was lowered, it conveyed a considerable urgency.

"I went to look for you just now, and found that you are not in the Buddhist monastery, and I was just about to look for Senior Brother Yi."

"What's wrong?"

In front of ordinary monks, Chan Master Chongyi showed the calm demeanor that an abbot should have.

Of course, it was also because the previous disciples gave him confidence.

"It's the selection of mountain gate disciples this month, something went wrong."

Rong He then relayed to Zen Master Chongyi what Cai Jianren told him just now.

"A Taoist priest with a high level of cultivation, who was unharmed in the Styx River before, came to participate in the selection of my disciples at the Yunfu Temple..."

After listening to Zen Master Chongyi, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ronghe,

"Mr. Nephew Ronghe, Na Jianren is a junior student. He is young and unstable. It is normal for him to be careless about things. You have practiced Zen for more than thirty years, why are you still so reckless? This matter probably... is that?" Do you see the wrong person?"

he said reproachfully.

"Master abbot, no, Jianren told me that he would never admit that the little Taoist priest's appearance is wrong..." Rong He panicked after being reprimanded by the abbot.

"Do you know..." Chan Master Chongyi lowered his voice and said slowly: "There is a ghost in the Styx River, and he couldn't be suppressed easily. He could only make a contract with it for three chapters, and then returned with injuries."

"If you can enter the Styx River and come out unscathed, then your cultivation... must be higher than Yi, at least not lower than Yi?"

"This..." Rong and Zen master broke out in cold sweat.

"In the Daoist sect, apart from Tong Wudi... even if there are any, they are probably some old monsters who have lived in seclusion for many years. How could they come to my Yunfu Temple to worship the master? Even if there is any conspiracy, there will be more advanced means to come Shi Zhan...how could it be such a joke?"

"Indeed, I'll go back and tell Jianren to stop thinking about it." Rong He nodded repeatedly.

"It's not necessary, anyway, the first round of selection for the disciples of the mountain gate is Yingxinjing, you just go and watch it."

Zen Master Chongyi said: "Jianren is young, seeing his senior brother die tragically before his eyes, it is inevitable that he will be disturbed. You should guide and comfort him more often, and pay attention to your tone of voice. You can't reprimand him like I reprimanded you, you know? "

"yes……"

Rong Helian said yes, although it is quite touching that the dignified abbot of Chongyi Zen Master still pays so much attention to a young disciple...

But he still wanted to say something.

Abbot, I am also human.

I also have flesh and blood and feelings.

...

the next day.

More than a hundred contestants from Shanmen Disciples gathered in front of a side hall of Yunfu Temple, a huge white square with bright sunshine.

Among these people are old players who have participated in the selection for many times or even for many years, there are also enthusiastic newcomers who have just arrived, and there are some people with ulterior motives.

On both sides of the square, some monks from the temple can be seen passing by by chance. No matter young or old, they are all calm and dignified, which makes those believers who sincerely want to enter the temple to worship Buddha very excited.

If you can enter Yunfu Temple, it is equivalent to getting an iron rice bowl that guarantees income from drought and flood. The job content is quite stable, the promotion path is complete and transparent, and you don't have to worry about finding a partner from now on.

how nice.

Originally, this kind of monthly selection was presided over by monks of the first generation, but this time, for some reason, it was an eminent monk of Rong's generation, Zen Master Rong He.

After seeing him on the stage, the chests of the players all stood up a little higher.

If he performed well enough today and was directly accepted as a disciple by Zen Master Ronghe, then he would be prosperous...

Zen Master Ronghe came in front of the crowd and said directly:

"Welcome everyone to participate in the selection of my Yunfu Temple's mountain gate disciples. Among you, there should be many devout people who have participated in the selection for many times, and there are also newcomers who participated for the first time. The poor monk will explain it in a unified way."

"The first step in the selection of this mountain gate is called the 'Mirror of Reflection'. This Mirror of Reflection is a precious magic weapon in my temple, which can reflect the evil thoughts in people's hearts. If you want to enter my temple to do evil and plot evil , Now you can turn around and leave, I will not pursue it at all. If it is reflected in the mirror, then the serious one may have to be punished."

This first round did not exceed Li Chu's expectations. It was nothing more than a background check to eliminate bad guys and ensure the purity of the organization.

Listening to Rong He's words, the crowd whispered to each other, but no one withdrew. After all, to be able to come here, they probably have some understanding, and they will not be persuaded to leave because of these words.

Say it.

Behind him, a young monk lifted up a huge wooden platform, but it was empty.

Then Rong and Zen master flicked their sleeves, and a brilliance appeared out of thin air, and gathered on the wooden platform to form a large bronze mirror with a height of ten feet high, but the bronze mirror was not facing the crowd, but a person. empty direction.

Zen Master Ronghe drew a red line two feet in front of the mirror.

"Later, everyone, please stand in front of this red line and stand quietly for three breaths. Because the mirror mirror has a certain stimulation on the soul, so don't go too far forward, so as not to be difficult to bear." Zen master Rong He reminded .

As his words fell, everyone began to step forward in an orderly manner to accept the test of Ying Xin Jing.

The first one to come forward was a boy in common clothes. He was a little nervous, standing in front of the red line, his throat rolled.

Then Zen Master Rong He suddenly shouted from behind: "Why do you want to enter Yunfu Temple?!"

This sound was like thunder, and the people around couldn't hear it, but it made him shiver in shock.

After three breaths, some flowing images appeared on the mirror.

It seems to be a dilapidated cold kiln, an old lady is lingering on a sick bed in it, and a childish boy kowtows in front of the bed...

"It turned out that I wanted to practice Buddhism to heal my mother..."

Zen Master Ronghe nodded, "Filial and pure, above average."

A little monk behind him wrote down his comments, and the young man left happily.

Then there was a middle-aged man with a thin figure. The process was the same. The man stood in front of the red line and closed his eyes, as if he wanted to adjust his thoughts.

Then Rong He's unexpected voice resounded in his mind.

He couldn't help but tremble all over.

After three breaths, a large area of ​​blur suddenly appeared on the mirror, as if some flowing snowflakes covered the whole picture.

"Hmph!" Zen Master Ronghe said angrily, "Full of lust and evil, I will be expelled from the mountain gate and not allowed to re-enter!"

"..."

This scene immediately frightened the remaining contestants.

soon……

It was the turn of the three brothers.

Durant blinked, and quietly took half a step back, "Second brother, I'm a little scared, you come first."

He pushed Qin Zhenghu to the front.

Qin Zhenghu blinked, and quietly moved back half a step, "Ah, ah, ah."

Then push Li Chu forward.

Just at this time, the previous person ended, Rong and Zen master looked at Li Chu, and found that their positions had changed slightly, but he didn't care.

He originally wanted Li Chu to come forward, so he smiled and said, "Come on."

Li Chu was fearless, walked forward very calmly, stood in front of the red line, and faced the bronze mirror.

A handsome face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

Li Chu frowned and glanced away.

He doesn't like looking in the mirror.

Immediately, Zen Master Rong He repeated his old trick, and said via voice transmission: "Why do you want to enter Yunfu Temple?"

At that moment, Li Chu actually felt a little guilty.

After all, his intention to enter Yunfu Temple is not sincere, but after thinking about it, if he is not sincere, he is not sincere.

Anyway, his and Lao Du's original plan was to run with them, and it would be fine to let Qin Zhenghu in.

Thinking of this, he calmed down instead.

However, he was still a little worried about whether the Mirror Mirror would expose their plan, so he turned his eyes back and glanced at the surface.

After three breaths.

Suddenly a click was heard.

Then came a series of clicks.

Then Rong He said, "No way?"

Finally, Hula—

This time, as soon as a little light and shadow appeared on the bronze mirror, it suddenly cracked, and then scattered all over the place!

"Wow—"

There was an uproar in the crowd for an instant, and no one knew why such a thing happened.

It's just that amidst the uproar, there was an excited "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Qin Zhenghu was worried that his impure purpose would be exposed, so he was naturally happy at this time.

Narong and Zen Master were dumbfounded. How could the Mirror of Mirroring burst open suddenly after being used for hundreds of years? It's fine for others to use it, but it suddenly breaks when you push it yourself, you will be blamed.

But obviously there is no attack...

Did you see something you shouldn't see?

He looked at Li Chu suddenly suspiciously.

At this time, Lao Du clapped his hands, shook his head and said:

"Oh! What my third younger brother fears the most in his life is looking in the mirror. He shattered all the mirrors at home, big and small. Unexpectedly, this magic weapon is also doomed."

When everyone's eyes were focused on one of his faces, he immediately raised his voice again and said loudly, "I don't know if you...have you ever heard the legend of 'beautiful mirror'?"

"Those extremely handsome people just can't look in the mirror!"
