A sudden storm last night poured down the red leaves all over the mountain. Autumn has quietly arrived in Kyushu, and at the same time it has also entered the harvest season - the fruits are ripe.
Gui Xiaoxiao raised her head lightly and looked around with her beautiful eyes. Beside the jade couch, her husband was nowhere to be seen.
She stood up, removed the magic circle, and opened the curtains. A red sun was hanging over the Cangling River. Thousands of golden rays of light filled the earth and shone on the sparkling river waves, giving people a dreamlike beauty.
"Master, Xiao Xiao wishes you a smooth journey and a smooth journey into the Immortal Gate. From now on, all the avenues and avenues are yours to ask for!"
Gui Xiaoxiao stared into the distance and muttered to himself. He was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Xiao Xiao also hopes that you will not forget the Immortal Couple Peak, your brothers and sisters, and don't forget your third wife...
…”

Just when Xiao Meiren was resentful on the Immortal Couple Peak, a slightly wretched guy drove a six-star flying shuttle, soaring high in the sky. He was lying in the luxurious cabin, with his legs crossed and humming a tune.
, and would take a sip of wine from time to time.
On the six-star flying shuttle, three top-grade crystals were flashing fiercely, and the huge spiritual power drove the shuttle forward. In less than three hours, the shuttle spun, plunged straight down, and suddenly landed on a towering
At the top of the mountain, a splendid temple is echoing with the melodious sound of bells.
"Amitabha, senior brother is finally here! Niehai has been waiting for you so hard!"
Just as the shuttle door opened, a golden figure flew out of the temple, landed steadily on the edge of the shuttle, and looked up.
"Hmm... um! Little monk, you are not a female cultivator, what do you expect me to do?! You look like this, I don't even dare to come down!" Tianjiu said with sour teeth, stepped out, and took it away.
The shuttle.
"Senior brother is joking. Nie Hai has known for a long time that senior brother has planted more than ten treasure trees along the Tianjimen Mountain. In order to prevent senior brother from being tired, Nie Hai specially ordered more than 300 eminent monks to come to Xianhui Temple.
Senior brother, teach us Zen and resolve our doubts."
"Teaching Zen? It's easy to say, easy to say! Let me first enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tianzen Peak, and then take a look to see if there are any beauties around. If so, just take a dip. After feeling refreshed, I will naturally go to Xianhui
The temple teaches Zen." Tianjiu grinned.
The face of the young monk Niehai changed slightly and he swallowed: "Brother, Tianchan Peak is a border fortress. There are not many female cultivators here, and even if there are, they are not beauties. Senior brother, can you give me a Zen lesson first, and then slowly look for her after you finish the lesson?"
?”
"Hahaha! Little monk, you are so funny! Just a joke from Tian made you so anxious that your face turned pale. Why are you so anxious?"
"Oh, you're in a hurry! The Immortal Sect Order has been issued. If Nie Hai cannot reach the realm of a great monk within six months, there will be no hope for the Immortal Sect and no hope for the Dao!"
"Well, little monk, don't be anxious. Who do you think we are good brothers? If I don't help you, who will help you? Don't worry, with the brains of a divine monk like you, in one month, Tian will guarantee that you will be promoted to a great monk.
.”
"Oh, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed! Nie Hai is no longer a divine monk. The number one divine monk in Famen Temple should be you, senior brother. Senior brother, please!" Nie Hai waved his hand and said, turning around and leading Tian Jiufei into the temple.
※※
The Xianhui Hall was filled with great monks wearing golden robes. There was no need to count them in detail, but they knew they were at least six hundred. They were all full of expectations and nervously stared at Tianjiu and Nie Hai falling on the high platform of the hall.
.
"This... little monk, you are too righteous. There are more than 600 people, which is far more than the scheduled number. You are trying to squeeze me dry!" Tianjiu briefly scanned the hall, shook his head and said with a smile.
"Haha, senior brother, don't be surprised. The recruitment order issued by Niehai was indeed for 300 people, but there were another 300 people who came because of their reputation. Niehai is compassionate. Before the great road, everyone is equal, and Niehai cannot force them away.
Leave..." Nie Hai smiled, a bead of sweat quietly sliding down his forehead.
"Well, let's make peace with it now. One monk is also a disciple, and three monks are disciples. As long as they have wisdom, opportunity, and virtue, God will give them a chance." After Tianjiu finished speaking, Shi Shiran sat down.
In the middle position.
Just as he sat down, all the monks in the hall stood up, bowed and shouted: "Master, you are so lucky!"
"Ahem! No hard work, no hard work! Serve the comrades...oh no, serve the masters!" Tianjiu waved.
Young monk Niehai took a long breath and sat on the right side of Tianjiu. He nodded slightly towards the main hall and said, "Fellow monks, as per the old rules, please present the self-introduction slips you have written!"
"Introducing yourself on the jade slip?" Tianjiu was stunned.
"Senior Brother, don't you need to know your specific situation before teaching Zen? Junior Brother Nieliu has already mentioned this to Niehai. In order not to waste your precious time, Niehai has asked them to write the jade abbreviations in advance."
"Oh, yes, yes! The self-introduction slip is a must! Submit it, submit it all!" Tianjiu's face was sullen, but his heart was already filled with joy.
In less than a breath, hundreds of jade slips were swamped in front of Tianjiu. His consciousness was wide open and shrouded in these jade slips, and he started to look at them. After about a stick of incense, he hissed.
With a sound, he waved his hand to wipe away the sweat, then blew a breath, and all the jade slips disappeared without a trace.
"Senior brother, how are you? Can you start teaching Zen?" Nie Hai asked expectantly.
"Little monk, there are two self-introductions here that Jian Tian is very interested in. One is your little monk's, and the other is Nie Tao's."
"Haha, senior brother, what's your interest? But it doesn't matter. If Nie Hai tells a lie, he will automatically withdraw from this Zen teaching."
"Oh no no! You little monk didn't tell lies, you told the truth too true. You even told me how you wanted to kill Tian at Xianlian Peak. Oh, what a sin, what a sin!"
The face of the young monk Niehai suddenly changed, and he trembled: "Senior brother, junior brother was only for the benefit of the sect at that time, and he did have some murderous intentions. But since Niehai is not at fault, can you forgive Niehai once?"
"Hey, you stupid junior brother! What does Tian say you are good at? Okay, just stay still and wait until the Bodhisattva wants to see you!"
Tianjiu shook his head and said, looking at a corner of the hall, Yun Danfeng hummed softly: "Nie Tao, I read your jade slip twice, once at Xianlian Peak and once here. Why is there no difference at all?"
Nie Tao stood up suddenly, with a sneer on his face: "Senior Brother Wanhao, of course the two jade slips must be the same, otherwise they will be inconsistent, and then the young monk is lying! The young monk is still self-aware of this."
"Oh, interesting! I would like to ask Junior Brother Nie Tao, haven't you returned to Famen Temple? If you come here again, it will be your second entry into the palace, right? Didn't you participate in a Zen teaching last time? As I said before, everyone only has one chance.
Can you tell me why?" Tianjiu tilted his head and looked at Nie Tao and asked.
"This...this...this...Senior brother, although I went there last time, my senior brother did not teach me Zen. Of course, it cannot be counted as one time! On the way back to the temple, Nie Tao suddenly woke up and returned immediately.
Nie Tao longs for the great road, and knows that Nie Tao was in the wrong when he was abrupt last time. Please forgive me!" Nie Tao secretly bared his teeth and lowered his head.
"That's right! Since you are wrong, why didn't you mention it in the jade slip just now? Let alone make any repentance? In this case, you have concealed something. By analogy, how many things have you concealed that your junior brother has hidden from the light of day?
Woolen cloth?"
Nie Tao frowned, clasped his fists and bowed: "Senior Brother Wan, Nie Tao has not concealed anything. Since senior brother is the party involved in this matter, Nie Tao thinks there is no need to explain it. If senior brother insists on entangled in this matter, Nie Tao will resign!"
Seeing the sudden tension in the atmosphere, young monk Nie Hai immediately tried to smooth things over: "Senior brother, junior monk Nie has a little friendship with the young monk, and he is also one of the Nine Saints. Can you give the young monk some face, even if Nie Tao passes the test?"
"..." Tianjiu remained silent.
Nie Tao's mouth twitched and he moved towards the palace door in embarrassment.
"Senior brother, Nie Tao has great fighting prowess. He discovered the abnormal movements of Beiwei Gate twice in a row and personally repelled the sneak attack from Beiwei Gate. His shortcoming is that he is outspoken and easily offends people. He does not have many conspiracies and tricks.
We at Famen Temple are also talented, but there is a world of difference compared to the likes of Nie Shi. Please, senior brother..." Nie Hai continued to send messages to plead for mercy.
"Wait a minute! Nie Tao, why didn't you mention the matter of repelling Beiwei Gate?" Tianjiu asked with squinted eyes as he looked at Nie Tao who stepped out of the palace gate with one foot.
"Amitabha! Nie Tao only talks about wrong things and not about his duty. If he says everything, wouldn't he have to report every move he has made in the past few decades? Well, now that senior brother has decided, Nie Tao doesn't need to ask for anything more.
, go back to practice in seclusion, and seek enlightenment."
"Ahem! Now that you're here, just stay. Anyway, one more of you is not too much. Remember, this is Niehai's plea for you, not my Wanhao's original intention. If you feel aggrieved, you can leave, Wanhao
No. Don’t force it.”
Nie Tao's expression changed rapidly, and he paused for more than ten breaths. Finally, he sighed, shrunk and stood by the door of the main hall, holding the palm with his lower hand, closing his eyes and chanting sutras.
Tianjiu nodded slightly, raised his hand and waved quickly, and several magic formations were arranged around the main hall, instantly covering the entire main hall in layers. After doing this, he stood with one palm in front of his chest and shouted loudly and matter-of-factly.
: "Oh, Mali Mali coo!"
As soon as the voice fell, a ten-foot golden Buddha appeared in front of everyone as if it were standing tall in the sky. The Buddha's mouth was trembling with obscure scriptures, and its huge palm moved to Nie Hai's head without hesitation. In the midst of the golden light, Tianjiu's divine thoughts moved slightly.
, a green leaf quietly sank into Nie Hai's head along the Buddha's hand. On that green leaf, five Buddhas clearly appeared.
Three hours later, Tianjiu stood in the square of Xianhui Temple. Behind him, in the main hall, some great monks walked out in twos and threes. Some of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground, still chanting sutras with their eyes closed. There were dozens of people, even more silent in thought.
It's like entering a state of emptiness and darkness.
"Brother, please stay!" Just as Tianjiu launched the six-star flying shuttle, a low voice came from behind.
"Huh? Little monk, you woke up very quickly. It seems that your enlightenment is not deep enough?" Tianjiu turned around and smiled.
"Amitabha! Senior brother is truly a divine man! Although Niehai still wants to meditate and understand the Dharma, he has to come out to say goodbye to senior brother!" the young monk Niehai said piously.
"Oh, so you are sure to advance to the rank of great monk?"
Nie Hai nodded, then shook his head: "I can't say for certain, but when the Bodhisattva came to Nie Hai, he suddenly felt his heart trembling, and he felt like he had an enlightenment. There seemed to be a trace of dirt spilling out of his limbs. This feeling was in Nie Hai's body.
I also experienced this when I was promoted to Nascent Soul. So, as long as you give Nie Hai time, you will definitely realize something. Senior brother, thank you for your kindness!"
"Okay, okay! Stop being so stupid! If you are a female cultivator, you can commit yourself to me, but you are a young monk, so you should stay away from me. Besides, you came to enlightenment on your own, it's none of my business! Let's go, I won't send you away.
!”
"Senior brother, why don't you wait any longer! That Nie Tao is still deep in thought. He will definitely repent to senior brother when he wakes up..."
"Bah! If I have that free time, I might as well go pick up female nuns! Get out of here and don't stop me from meeting my little lover!"
After Tianjiu finished speaking, he ducked into the shuttle and instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the southwest sky. (To be continued.)
