Reincarnated Spirit Child
Who is it?
One of the bodyguards couldn't help but ask a question towards the door.
When the escort leader heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Shut up, have you forgotten how I teach you on weekdays?"
When the bodyguard heard this, he quickly shut up and lowered his head in shame. Normally, the bodyguard would remind them not to answer no matter what sounds they heard in the wild at night.
I was so nervous that I forgot what I said. I'm so awful!
Just then, a gentle voice came from outside the door.
"This humble monk was passing through your esteemed place when I was suddenly caught in a snowstorm. I apologize for the intrusion and hope you will not mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and an ascetic monk slowly walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, most of the people inside breathed a sigh of relief. The monk in front of them gave people a kind and benevolent feeling, and his every move exuded a Buddhist aura, making people want to worship him involuntarily.
"Please proceed, sir."
The escort leader stood up first and bowed his hands to the ascetic monk.
"Thank you."
After finishing his speech, the ascetic monk found a place to sit down and began chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist mantras.
Before long, the entire mountain god temple was filled with the relaxing sound of chanting.
The group of beggar children and the bodyguards gradually fell asleep as they listened to the chanting.
Chu Feng enjoyed Bing Yan's massage, treating the ascetic monk's chanting as music.
About half an hour later, a beam of Buddhist light suddenly appeared in the mountain god temple, and everyone who was originally immersed in the chanting of sutras turned their attention to the direction from which the Buddhist light was emitted.
A little beggar, about eight or nine years old, was bathed in Buddha's light.
He, who was originally disheveled and slovenly, suddenly became clean and fair-skinned, and his tattered clothes were also made clean and tidy by the Buddha's light.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with Big Sister Xiao Wu?"
The Old Six asked, his face full of astonishment.
The Big Sister stood there stunned, unsure of what to say. Although she came from a distinguished background, she was too young and had never witnessed such a scene before. All she knew was that their Xiao Wu was about to leave them.
When the escort saw this scene, he murmured, "This... this is the reincarnated soul boy."
"Amitabha."
The ascetic monk let out a long sigh, "Benefactor, you have excellent eyesight. This child is indeed a reincarnated Buddhist sage. I was passing by when I noticed a faint Buddhist light emanating from the temple, so I came in to confirm it."
Upon hearing this, all the little beggars turned their gazes toward Xiao Wu in the crowd.
Xiao Wu himself was completely bewildered. He had just had a dream, and when he woke up, he found that everyone's eyes were on him.
Xiao Wu instinctively moved closer to the Big Sister: "Big Sister, I'm scared."
The Big Sister hugged Xiao Wu and said, "Don't be afraid, you'll be alright."
She felt Xiao Wu's trembling body and subconsciously turned her gaze to the ascetic monk not far away. Then she stood up and said, "May I ask if the master intends to take Xiao Wu away?"
"Amitabha."
The ascetic monk smiled and said, "Young benefactor, please rest assured, I will not let your younger brother suffer any injustice. I will take good care of you and ensure you have enough to eat and wear. When the child achieves enlightenment, you young benefactors will also receive corresponding merit."
The Big Sister didn't speak, but instead turned her gaze to Xiao Wu. Looking at the weak and helpless Xiao Wu, she couldn't bear to send Xiao Wu away from the bottom of her heart, but she also knew that there was no future for Xiao Wu if he stayed with them.
She asked, "Xiao Wu, are you willing to go with the master?"
Xiao Wu gripped the Big Sister's clothes tightly and whispered, "Big Sister, can you please not send me away?"
Hearing this, the Big Sister felt a pang of sadness. She gritted her Big Sister and said, "I won't send you away. You can stay and live with us forever, as long as you want."
Seeing this touching scene, the bodyguards instinctively turned their gazes to the master.
"Amitabha."
The ascetic monk said, "Xiao Wu, you are a reincarnated spiritual child. If you do not enter the Buddhist order and sever your worldly ties, you will bring disaster to those around you. In less than three years, your Buddha-nature will be revealed, and all demons and evil cultivators will target you."
Even if you don't come with me, you'll be taken away by those demons and evil cultivators. Whether you go or not is entirely up to you.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's face immediately showed a conflicted expression; he didn't want to leave the group.
Life there was somewhat tough, but he was happy with his friends.
But he didn't want to put his friends in danger because of himself.
No one, including the ascetic, spoke up to interrupt the little guy's decision.
The Golden-Winged Eagle King and Bing Yan turned their attention to Chu Feng. After all, besides sightseeing, another reason for their trip was that Chu Feng had not found a suitable disciple at the Dao-Seeking Academy.
Now that there's a reincarnated spirit child, will Chu Feng be tempted?
Chu Feng's gaze lingered only on the reincarnated child for a moment. Although the boy possessed Buddhist nature, he was still a little lacking to be his disciple.
Moreover, the child's Buddhist nature was activated by that ascetic monk; he did not have the habit of stealing other people's disciples.
After a long silence, Xiao Wu spoke up, "Master, I'm willing to leave here with you, but please give me a few more days so I can say goodbye to Big Sister. Also, I want to see them find a suitable place to go."
The ascetic monk smiled and said, "Of course, I will put your mind at ease and leave with me."
Clang!
Suddenly, the temple's main gate was kicked open from the outside.
call...
A gust of wind and snow blew in from the outside, along with an extremely arrogant voice.
"In my opinion, none of you should leave!!!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the temple changed, and the bodyguards shouted.
"Who goes there!"
"Such a powerful Yao Qi!"
"..."
"So noisy!"
A cold shout came from the temple, and all the bodyguards were sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall.
Seeing this, Chu Feng's lips curled into a meaningful smile. The dilapidated temple truly lived up to its reputation as a place where strange things happened.
I was just passing by and only stayed one night, yet I witnessed so much excitement.
"Amitabha!"
The ascetic monk let out a long chant, and a ray of Buddhist light emanated from his body.
In an instant, the wind stopped and the snow disappeared from the temple.
He turned his gaze to the outside of the temple and said calmly, "Esteemed benefactor, since you've come, why haven't you shown yourself? Is it that all you Demon Race do is bully the weak?"
"Hahaha..."
A burst of chaotic laughter, like demons dancing wildly, came from outside the temple. The laughter was so loud it made people dizzy and disoriented.
Even with the aura emanating from the ascetics, the vast majority of people in the temple wore expressions of pain.
"Du'e bald monk, since you think I'm bullying the weak, then I'll bully you, you weakling, today!"
Before the words were finished, a toad-headed, human-bodied demon general, surrounded by a group of demon soldiers, walked into the temple.
The overwhelming Heavenly Demon emanating from it terrified everyone, causing some of the more timid to faint.
Looking at the demon before him, Du'e blurted out instinctively, "Snow Toad Demon General, why are you here?"
The Snow Toad Demon General laughed and said, "You didn't expect this, did you? Before you monks of Namo Temple knew about the reincarnated spirit child here, my king already knew and sent me to capture that reincarnated spirit child. Meeting you is just an unexpected surprise."
This general has long desired to taste the flesh and blood of you old monks from Namo Temple. Today, I have finally seized the opportunity. Strike! You bald monk Du'e!
