Chapter 122 Looking for a Little Girl
"That's what senior brother said."
Hui Tong was ashamed: "We are just stupid."
"Junior brother, I will order someone to track down the whereabouts of the missing disciples of the Bi Tian Xian Palace."
Huiyuan was impatient and was about to leave after saying this.
"Don't worry."
The presiding abbot held out his hand to stop him: "Listen to what you have to say, Senior Brother."
"What's the matter?"
Huiyuan paused, looking puzzled.
"With the strength of our Lingyan Temple alone, we cannot compete with the disciples of Yaochi Immortal Palace."
The presiding abbot said something shocking: "So, we need help. Senior Zhihui figured out two days ago that the turning point of this matter is a ten-year-old girl."
"She will appear in Penglai Fairy Pavilion today, so what you need to do next is to look for her on the island."
~
"A ten-year-old girl?"
"Will she be the turning point in this matter?"
"She is the helper we are looking for?"
Before he finished speaking, the three elders were stunned.
"Did Elder Zhichen tell me what the little girl looks like?"
Elder Huiyun was the first to react and asked the key question.
"No."
The presiding abbot smiled helplessly: "I just said that the little girl is smart and cute. If you see her, you can recognize her at a glance?"
“Isn’t this too much?”
Elder Huiyuan couldn't believe it: "There are at least 8,000 girls who come to the temple to burn incense every day. There are even more on the island. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone with just these four words."
"Senior Zhihui is a high-ranking monk who is good at stargazing."
The presiding abbot vowed, "He said he could tell at a glance, and he would definitely find it. Just send someone to look for it, and bring back any girls who look similar, so that the wise senior can identify them."
"Yes."
The corners of Elder Huiyuan's mouth twitched a few times, and he agreed reluctantly.
"what."
At the same time, Mu Xueyan, who came to the Main Hall and knelt down to worship the Buddha, saw an amazing scene in the warning from heaven and could not help but utter an exclamation.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Shi Bao's concerned little voice came immediately.
"The monks from Lingyan Temple are looking for a ten-year-old girl with great fanfare."
Mu Xueyan never hid anything from Shi Bao, and secretly guessed: "I wonder, could it be me?"
Shi Bao was confused: "Why would a monk look for the master? The master doesn't want to become a monk. Besides, even if he does, he will go to a nunnery, not a temple."
"fool!"
The mirror spirit couldn't help it and wanted to hit him again: "They are looking for the master, they must want to seek the master's help, what does this have to do with becoming a monk?"
Shibao's soul questioned, "How could they know that the master would help them?"
The mirror spirit sneered: "In a Buddhist holy place, there must be a few people who can tell fortunes. Otherwise, how can they fool people?"
Mu Xueyan almost burst out laughing: "I also want to know why they are so sure that I will help them."
"Junior Brother Zixuan, you are not allowed to make noise in the Great Hall."
Ji Feiyang saw her covering her mouth and laughing, and gave her a kind reminder.
"I have made a wish."
Mu Xueyan kowtowed three times to the Buddha, not wanting to stay any longer: "Let's go to the back yard and see the fairy spring."
"it is good."
Ji Feiyang had no objection and agreed readily.
~~
"Please stay, both donors."
Before the two men stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, a monk in charge of reception came up from behind and blocked their way.
"what's up?"
Ji Feiyang paused, a little confused.
"Master Zhihui, please invite the two donors to the backyard for a chat."
The monk in charge of reception stated his purpose and extended his hand as a gesture of invitation.
"Little Master, please lead the way."
Ji Feiyang was just about to ask who the wise wizard was when Mu Xueyan had already responded.
"Please follow me, benefactors." The monk in charge of reception smiled and nodded, then stepped out of the threshold first and led the way.
Mu Xueyan tugged at Ji Feiyang's sleeve, signaling him to hurry up and follow.
"Are you going to follow him without asking clearly?"
Ji Feiyang was confused: "What if he has bad intentions and wants to harm you? Wouldn't that be like jumping into a fire pit?"
"That person has been monitoring us for a long time."
Mu Xueyan was confident: "If you want to cause trouble, you would have done it long ago, not wait until now."
"He is the one spying on us?"
Ji Feiyang thought of the spiritual consciousness that fell on him before he entered the room, and his voice suddenly rose several pitches.
The monk in charge of reception turned around subconsciously and glanced at him.
"Shhh."
Mu Xueyan put her finger to her mouth and made a gesture to keep quiet.
"oh oh."
Ji Feiyang looked annoyed and covered his mouth with his hands.
-
Lingyan Temple is quite large. The quiet and peaceful backyard is completely different from the noisy front yard.
The monk in charge of reception led the two people through many twists and turns in the backyard and through several archways before they arrived at the small courtyard where Master Zhihui lived alone and practiced meditation.
The courtyard is quiet and peaceful, with the sounds of wooden fish and chanting coming from the Zen room, which makes people feel calm and peaceful.
The monk in charge of reception signaled the two to wait outside the meditation room while he went in to report.
The sound of the wooden fish stopped suddenly, and an old monk with white eyebrows and beard, kind eyes and a gaunt face, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, opened his eyes when he heard the words.
"He is the Master of Wisdom?"
Shi Bao sat on his master's shoulder and looked at the old monk curiously.
"Yes, my Buddhist name is Wisdom."
The wise wizard turned around and looked at the little stone spirit with a smile.
"Hey, can he see me?"
Shi Bao hid his body, thinking that no one could find him, but he didn't expect that the wise wizard could see through his actions.
"Who told you to be stupid?"
The mirror spirit laughed and tickled him: "You are like a coward, hiding your head and showing your tail."
Shi Bao wondered: "When a turtle retracts into its shell, will its tail be exposed?"
"Shibao."
Mu Xueyan was speechless: "Now, is this the time to mind this?"
"Uh."
Shi Bao was embarrassed, so he stopped hiding and showed up.
"It is indeed a stone spirit."
When the wise wizard saw the palm-sized, chubby, pink and white baby, his eyes lit up with surprise.
Shi Bao was a little bit arrogant: "The old monk has a good eye and can recognize this sacred stone."
"The stone spirit protects the master and is reincarnated."
The wise mage then looked at Mu Xueyan and said something shocking: "Since the stone spirit has appeared here, then this young man must be the ancestor Ling Shuang who died in the battle between immortals and demons ten years ago?"
"hiss."
When Ji Feiyang heard the four words "Ancestor Ling Shuang", he took a long breath and his heart was beating wildly with fear.
"The Buddhist monks are unfathomable."
Mu Xueyan remained calm and composed. She neither admitted nor denied it and did not show any panic at all.
The wise wizard's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at him with admiration.
"Old monk."
Shi Bao was a little puzzled: "Why do you conclude that he is my master?"
"Except for Ancestor Ling Shuang"
The wise wizard stroked his beard and pointed out the facts: "Who else can make the stone spirit follow you wholeheartedly and never abandon you after reincarnation?"
"Uh-huh."
Shi Bao's eyes lit up: "You're right..."
"fool."
Mirror Spirit couldn't stand it anymore and angrily rebuked: "He was trying to trick you. You were fooled by just a few words. You are so stupid. It's unreliable."
