Chapter 608: Twenty-eight years old
Life in the ancient temple is quiet and boring.
Day after day, year after year, the practicing disciples have long adapted to this kind of life.
The Taoists of Zhongzhou, who were fighting with the demons under the ancient veins all day long, couldn't sit still. They couldn't bear their temper after listening to the morning and evening classes of those Arhats.
In the Bodhi Ancient Forest, the wind blows gently.
Ye Zang and Xuanji sat opposite each other at the stone table, one holding black and the other holding white, playing a chess game.
Xuanji held a white piece between her slender jade fingers, looking at the chessboard with clear eyes, her pale pink peach-like lips pursed from time to time, as if she was thinking about where to land the next piece.
Ye Zang held his chin up and looked at her otherworldly appearance.
Today, the nun is not wearing a lotus hat. Her small, bald head is exposed. She wears a white cassock and a shawl. The sacred beads made of beautiful jade are hung around her neck, and her chest is slightly bulging.
Xuanji was thinking and didn't feel Ye Zang's wolf-like eyes looking at her at all.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and Ye Zang is not Liu Xiahui. When such a pretty nun is in front of him, he will naturally look at it a few more times, as if he is appreciating a beautiful fairy flower.
Not long after, Xuanji gently raised her slender hand and dropped a piece.
The clear sound rippled, and Ye Zang's heart condensed. He thought of Shu Aohan who was far away in Langya Palace in the Immortal Burial Sea, and he looked away.
"I don't know what senior sister's cultivation is now. If she sees this scene, she will have to pick up a sword and chop me down."
The cold and ruthless face sounded in Ye Zang's mind, and he sighed in his heart.
"Brother Ye, it's your turn." Xuanji raised her beautiful eyes and her voice was as sweet as an oriole.
"The chess situation has been decided. I admit defeat." Ye Zang shook his head.
Speaking of playing chess, Ye Zang had just focused on the pretty nun in front of him, and how could he think about the chess position in detail.
Ye Zang stood up, stepped on the breeze and flew out of the ancient forest. Xuanji seemed to be thinking, and followed closely behind.
The two stood side by side on the cliff of Mount Xumi, overlooking the earth.
The Dharma Eye that reaches the sky can clearly observe the temples on the earth, as well as many mortal cities and towns.
Unlike the ancient temple where people burn incense and chant sutras all day long, it is very lively down here.
Monks and mortals are preparing things for the sacrificial procession.
Groups of shirtless men were walking out of temples carrying statues of gods and Buddhas.
"The Buddha's Birthday Parade is a process to invite gods to offer sacrifices and worship heaven. Starting from the Holy Mountain of Sumeru, it will pass through thousands of mortal countries along the way, and the believers will pay homage to it." Xuanji said softly.
"Where was the final destination in previous years?" Ye Zang asked.
"In the past, we would stop at Ruotuo Mountain in the Western Jue Continent, but this year it is a little different. We will enter the Central Continent, parade around the border to offer sacrifices, and finally enter Haotian City to pay homage to the current Emperor Fengtian." Xuanji's eyes flickered, as if she was looking forward to it. Said.
"When we get to Guanyin Temple, Master will invite me to sit down." Ye Zang squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Definitely!" Xuanji smiled innocently and said, "My Guanyin Temple is rich in a kind of ten thousand-year-old golden lotus. It is used to make tea, which can make people calm down and stabilize their Taoist realm."
Ye Zang nodded, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "By the way, sister Xuanji, has your Guanyin Temple ever had a precedent of a nun returning to secular life?"
Hearing this, Xuanji's expression suddenly froze.
She looked at Ye Zang closely, her neck turned red immediately, she subconsciously lowered her face and said, "No!"
"Hahaha, I'm sorry. I've been staying on this holy mountain all day, and I'm almost turning into dead wood and old pines down there. My Langya Palace is better. I have beautiful people like flowers, and I can't sleep at night." Ye Zang said with a smile from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Ye Zang like this, Xuanji curled her lips and said, "I know Brother Ye is making fun of me, but my Xizhou is the pure land of Buddhism. Brother Ye should stop saying ridiculous things. If other senior brothers hear it, there will be misunderstandings." ”
"Just don't let them hear it?" Ye Zang smiled, casually reaching out and hooking Gou Xuanji's slender jade fingers, which were warm and delicate, like gelatin.
"Shou Ye, don't go too far!"
Xuanji was shocked. She felt as if she had been electrocuted and had goosebumps all over her body. She was so frightened that she retreated a hundred feet away and scolded Ye Zangdao with burning eyes.
As she said that, she glanced at Ye Zang in a panic, and immediately left Dunfei and entered the ancient temple.
"This little nun." Ye Zang smiled with strange eyes.
In the next few days, Ye Zang knocked on Xuanji's door, preparing to invite her to play a few more games.
Xuanji didn't even dare to let Ye Zang in through the door of the wing room and directly rejected him.
The clear sound of the wooden fish kept ringing inside, and after three days of knocking, Xuanji came out.
Tomorrow is Buddha's birthday.
Ye Zang, Princess Aoshang and other Taoist priests from Zhongzhou walked side by side, and under the leadership of Jing Xing, headed to the Third Hall of Whispers.
Today, they are going to visit the Buddha, the leader of the Pure Land.
Xuanji walked out of the wing with an indifferent expression, not looking at Ye Zang at all, treating him like air.
"Junior Sister Xuanji, I have been hearing the sound of Zen in your cave for the past few days, but what's bothering you?" Jing Xing changed into a bright red cassock today. After all, he was going to meet the Buddha, so he had to dress more formally.
"Senior brother, you are worrying too much." Xuanji's tone was extremely indifferent, and she subconsciously glanced at Ye Zang from the corner of her eye.
Jing Xing didn't ask any more questions, and a group of people slowly walked towards the main hall.
Ye Zang leaned out, deliberately dropped his steps, and walked side by side with Xuanji. He muttered a mortal opera in her ears for no reason, and said with a smile: "The little nun was only twenty-eight years old, and her hair was cut off by the master when she was young. I was originally Nv Jiao'e, she is not a man. Why is she wearing a yellow sash around her waist and a straight skirt? When she sees the couple lying around, facing each other in brocade, they can't help but feel anxious..."
After hearing this, Xuanji suddenly lost her indifferent attitude and her eyes trembled slightly.
Her delicate face suddenly turned red, her head lowered, and she walked forward quickly.
While chatting with Xuanji a few days ago, Ye Zang learned about her origins.
She is not a native of Xizhou. She was originally the daughter of a large family in Nanlingzhou, one of the three continents in southern Xinjiang.
Nanling Continent borders Xijue Continent. Her master went on a long trip and met her family.
Xuanji was extremely talented and talented. She was only twenty-eight years old at the time, and when she was sixteen years old, she was brought back to the South China Sea and became a monk to practice.
"Angel Ye Xun, what are you talking about?" The third princess looked back and asked doubtfully.
"It's just a mortal opera. I enjoyed listening to it before I entered the Tao." Ye Zang waved his hand and said with a smile.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Xuanji's graceful figure.
This little nun seems to be indifferent to the mortal world, but in fact she has been using Buddhist scriptures to stabilize her mind. Her longing for the world has long been unbearable. Ye Zang just made a few random provocations and asked her to knock wooden fish for three days, which was really funny.
A group of people walked and soon arrived in front of the 'Puxian' Hall, one of the three halls.
