Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to be too presumptuous. They just carefully avoided the statue and walked towards the stairs.

Xiaoqian, who was walking at the end, hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly to the statue, and then walked towards the stairs.

The woman in purple who was walking at the front counted the stairs and walked up. When she reached the ninth step, she encountered a turn.

Lianbu climbed the ninth step lightly, and when he saw another turn, he couldn't help but look up.

I found that I could climb to the second floor after passing this turn, so I couldn't help but immerse myself in climbing again.

However, after encountering several turns in a row, I still haven't arrived, and I can't help but be a little surprised.

"Oops, what happened..."

He turned around and was about to ask the sisters behind him, but found that there was nothing behind him. He was shocked and quickly ran down to search.

Thumb thump thump~

However, the stairs going down seem endless, with no end in sight.

When I wanted to look back, I found that there were endless steps as far as the eye could see, no matter up or down.

I couldn't help but feel frightened, and cried out softly.

"Where did the master come from and joked with the little girl? The little girl was just passing through here and wanted to find a place to stay. She had no ill intentions. Please forgive me, master."

This scene occurs more than once. Anyone who climbs the steps only realizes that he is the only one trapped on an endless set of steps when he thinks of the other sisters.

Some yelled and threatened; some flirted and coquettishly seduced; some were frightened and begged softly, and so on.

Only the woman named Xiaoqian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after trying to no avail. She curled up and sat on the steps, lost in thought.

Inside the abbot, Ling Qing, who had taken off his Taoist robe and loosened his bun, covered his body with the Taoist robe, and lay down and fell asleep soundly.

Not far from the Taoist temple, there is a manor filled with smoke and smoke.

An old woman wearing dark red clothes, with silver comb-shaped jewelry in her hair, with a hunched back and bent over, held a quinoa stick in her hand and shouted angrily.

"Where have all these cheap maids hidden?"

From one sentence to another, the voices change unpredictably, sometimes male, sometimes female, overlapping and mingling.

There seems to be a thick stream of phlegm in the throat from time to time, which is vague and fuzzy, but sharp and harsh, making people's scalp numb when smelling it.

"Grandma, Miss Zixiang saw a Taoist priest coming into the ruined temple next to her.

The girls have all gone to look for food for grandma."

A plump woman about forty years old, her body trembled, her jade jade trembled slightly, and she quickly replied.

"Yeah." A strong male voice came from the old woman's mouth.

Then there was a young female voice, with a crisp voice, "Why are there so many people here?"

"The girls haven't seen a stranger for a long time, so they feel a little itchy."

"They're all a bunch of naughty people." The voice sounded like a gray-bearded old man again.

The next sentence turned to the sarcastic old woman, "Let them come to see me when they come back."

As he spoke, he tossed his robe and floated into the darkness with his quinoa staff.

"Yes, grandma."

The woman quickly lowered her head and responded. When the old woman was completely gone, she raised her head and let out a breath.

He turned to the maid next to him and ordered: "Send someone to check, why haven't you come back after so long?"

"Yes." The maid responded, then stepped back and sent people to look for him.

However, just like Xiaoqian and others, they were all stuck on the infinite stairs.

Overnight, the woman sent several waves of people but none came back. She was anxious, but she didn't dare to disturb the old woman.

I had to keep walking in circles in the hall, and finally I made a decision and ordered a few people to look for it myself.

When I arrived at the temple, as soon as I opened the door of the temple, my expression changed when I saw the statue on the altar, and I retreated, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The remaining maids looked at each other and quickly retreated.

Lingqing turned over and fell asleep again.

After that, there was a peaceful night, and when the light was rising in the east, Lingqing stood up.

Wearing mango shoes, wearing a Taoist robe, and a bun, he walked out of the room and reached out to grab hold of him on the stairs.

A thick bark book appeared in his hands, it was the Book of Nature.

Hua Hua Hua~

He flipped through it casually and saw various pictures and texts of talismans, as well as various pictures of ladies.

All of them have graceful looks, as if they were alive on the pages of a book.

Snapped!

He raised his hand to close it, hung it on his waist, and came downstairs.

He took out three sticks of incense sticks from the offering table, held them in his hands, and recited the incense blessing mantra.

“The Tao is learned by the heart, and the false fragrance of the heart is passed on;

The incense burns in the jade furnace, and my heart is in front of my teacher;

The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the fairy is in the pavilion;

Disciple's report reached nine heavens."

Then he lit it, held it in his hand, took three steps back, bowed respectfully three times, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

Then he sat cross-legged on the futon in the curl of green smoke, clasped the stone chime in his hand and sang loudly:

"Linlang vibrates, and the ten directions are cleared;

The rivers and seas are silent, the mountains swallow;

…”

Then recite the eight divine mantras, scriptures, and imperial edicts one by one.

While he was reciting mantras, chanting sutras, and proclaiming edicts, streams of clear light radiated from his body, washing around him like a tide.

In the vitality of heaven and earth mixed with the darkness and evil, the entire Taoist temple shines like flawless jade.

At the manor near the Taoist temple, on top of a tower.

The old woman in red clothes and holding a quinoa staff looked at such a scene, her eyes constantly changing.

The aura on his body fluctuated, making the woman beside him tremble.

Just before the sun rose, the old woman snorted coldly, flicked her long sleeve angrily, and disappeared.

Then the entire manor disappeared, leaving only a mist that could not penetrate the sun.

In the Taoist temple, Lingqing finished his morning lessons, opened his eyes and looked in that direction, and then stopped paying attention.

He stood up and took out some sundries from the cabinet on the side.

A sutra box with the words "Diamond Sutra" on the cover was found among the broken Buddha statues;

There is a vajra rod made of brass with four sides and six joints. It should have been held flat in the hands of the image of Skanda, but he found it in the mud;

There is a jet-black lotus seed, which was cleaned from the pond.

These things were sifted out yesterday when cleaning the temple, and they all contain a special atmosphere.

Lingqing raised his hand and picked up the Diamond Sutra, which was placed in a sutra box.

On the surface of the box is engraved the image of a Vajra Bodhisattva, with the Vajra seal on his hands, solemn and solemn, and indestructible.

On one side is written "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra".

Lingqing opened the cave's true Dharma eyes and looked at it. It was covered with golden light and auspicious clouds.

It seems that there is a Buddhist monk with a golden Dharmakaya, who declares to him the secret meaning of Buddha nature, Vajra Prajna, and the principle of reality and non-existence.

After opening it, there is a folded scripture book. Open it and take a look.

"So I heard that for a time the Buddha was in the Solitary Garden in the Kingdom of Savatthi with the great monks..."

Waiting for the righteousness of the scriptures to appear before his eyes, the handwriting is regular, serious and neat.

The Buddha's light and Dharma principles shine between the lines, explaining Vajra Prajna and enlightening all sentient beings.

After Lingqing flipped through it hastily, he closed it and put it aside.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with this sutra. This sutra is a true classic. Reciting it can help people understand the Buddha’s meaning and inspire the Vajra Protector.
