    001 The Enlightened Monk

    The curl of sandalwood and the sound of wooden fish.

    A monk in white cassocks sits cross-legged on a lotus throne, his eyes are gentle and auspicious, his thin lips open and close, and he utters passages of wise Buddhist sounds.

    It was the day when Huai’an, the abbot of Xianglan Temple, set up an altar to preach Buddhism every month.On this day, both Buddhist disciples and secular people can listen to the enlightened monk explain Buddhist principles in Guangsong Hall of Xianglan Temple.Huai’an was personally appointed by Emperor Beiyan as the “Chief Lecturer on Scripture and Ethics”. He was called to the palace on the 20th of every month to meet the emperor, and he was extremely favored by the emperor.With such an honor, Huai’an, who was only 24 years old, was regarded as a highly respected person among the monks of Beiyan and made great contributions to the development of Buddhism.

    This also made the Xianglan Temple located on the outskirts of Beijing become famous. The incense was extremely prosperous every day, and there was an endless stream of people coming to practice sexual cultivation and pray for blessings.One of the most grand occasions is the fifteenth day of every month, the day when Huai’an lectures on Buddhism.Even the thresholds and windows of the Guangsong Hall in Nuo Da were crowded with people, vying to see this legendary monk, hoping to cleanse their souls and prolong their lives while listening to Buddhist teachings.

    Ning Wan knelt quietly in an inconspicuous corner, raised her head and looked at the man at the top.His brows are broad, his face is gentle, his skin is as white as jade, and he has a vague tendency to be transparent, and his whole body exudes an aura that is as refreshing as spring breeze.He sits upright on the lotus, giving people a feeling of solemnity and looming aura, as clear as if he does not belong to the human world.

    He was really handsome and handsome, and Ning Wan suddenly wondered if there was someone in the hall just to see him.Turning to smile, isn’t she one of them?

    She listened to the man’s tongue shining like a lotus flower, and the people around her looked peaceful. She unconsciously closed her eyes and began to silently recite scriptures along with Huai’an.Gradually, I felt that my whole body was smooth, as if a trace of turbid air was exhaled with my breath, and my body was as light as a swallow…

    “Ah…” She bit the tip of her tongue suddenly and opened her eyes with difficulty.I thought silently in my heart, Ning Wan, Ning Wan, you do not belong to this era. Your liberation is not to escape into Buddhism, but to complete the mission and travel around the world is the right thing!

    No wonder the original person cut off his hair and became a nun after listening to Huai’an’s lecture on Buddhism.This Huai’an was young, and he really had profound Buddhist teachings, and he was not as out-of-reach or obscure as other monks.

    This was the fifth time she had listened to Huai’an’s lecture on Buddhism since she came here. Every time she was just a little entranced, she would be brought into his spiritual world.Although she felt that her martial arts skills were improving, she still did not dare to indulge in it too much.

    Occasionally she would wonder, is this kind of person really the monster monk that the left prime minister said was disturbing the saints’ hearing?

    Ning Wan turned her gaze away from Huai’an and looked at the monks on both sides of Huai’an, Huai Kong and Huai Min.The two of them were sitting cross-legged on a smaller lotus seat. There were muscles with veins under their red cassocks. Although their postures were correct, the eyes they glanced at the audience from time to time were not so pure.Especially when it falls on a woman with outstanding appearance, there is a hint of lewdness.

    After Huai Kong’s eyes collided with Ning Wan’s, he could no longer move his eyes away.Ning Wan’s eyes were clear and calm. These two people were important chess pieces for her to complete her mission.But I was thinking in my heart, would Xianglan Temple, which has such a saint as its abbot, also have such evil-minded monks?And the status is not low.

    The sound of a bell means the end of today’s Buddhist sermon.Ning Wan stood up and turned to look at the women outside the door who were following Huai’an feverishly. Their pupils were dilated and their expressions were excited. After Huai’an disappeared, they showed a sense of loss.It seems to be saying, oh, the makeup that has been maintained for a long time is gone again.

    Walking out of the hall, Ning Wan took the food box handed over by the maid. After seeing a young novice monk, she handed it to him with a smile: “Is your master free tomorrow?”

    The little novice monk almost drooled. He smiled with his eyes like two crescent moons: “I’m free!”
