Chapter 335 The Cannon Fodder Flower Demon of the Abstinent Buddha 7
*
The next morning, Wuxu Buddhist monk of Bodhi Temple presided over a ceremony, and the temple was crowded with pilgrims.
But when the time came, the novice monks would close the temple door and refuse more pilgrims from entering, lest too many people disturb the tranquility of the Buddhist ceremony.
The sound of chanting sutras could be heard continuously in the largest Buddhist hall in the temple. A handsome man wearing a scarlet-gold cassock was sitting cross-legged on a lotus seat in front of the Buddha statue.
In front of him knelt two rows of monks from the Bodhi Temple in robes, and behind them were sincere pilgrims kneeling and listening to the Buddhist teachings.
Some young pilgrims who came with their families were outside the temple. Most of them were young women who came because of Wuxu Buddhist's reputation.
Chu Wuxu looked cool and otherworldly in his monk's robes, but as a cultivator with hair, he inevitably gave people the impression that he still had one foot in the secular world.
He raised his eyes and looked at the red-painted pillar not far away.
A small head quietly popped out from behind the pillar, and its beautiful eyes blinked as it looked around.
Yun Wu got up late this morning and hurried to the Buddha Hall. Chu Wuxu was already holding a Dharma Assembly.
"A lot of people..."
She hid behind a pillar and looked at the people kneeling in the hall with great curiosity.
There were also many women gathered outside the door, all of them covering half of their faces with handkerchiefs and looking at Chu Wuxu shyly.
"Buddha Wuxu is really as handsome as the rumors say. He is really good-looking, but it's a pity that he is a monk..."
"What's the big deal? Buddha is a member of the royal family. He can return to secular life at any time after practicing Buddhism with his hair untied and become a prince in the imperial city. I don't know who will be so lucky to become a princess in the future."
Yun Wu moved her ears and listened to the discussion of the women gathered at the threshold.
She didn't know much about the mortal world, but she heard them say that Chu Wuxu was some little prince, so he must be a very powerful person.
Just when Yun Wu was distracted, the Buddhist disciple on the golden lotus throne disappeared, and seemed to have gone out from the inner path of the hall.
The Dharma Assembly is initiated by Buddhist disciples, and the subsequent sutra chanting is presided over by the abbot.
Yun Wu hurriedly walked out from the side door. She still wanted to seduce Chu Wuxu, so naturally she had to appear by his side all the time.
However, the little lotus demon had just left the hall when she was stopped by a frail man dressed like a scholar.
"My lady, I am honored to be here."
The weak scholar said to Yun Wu with a slightly red face, feeling a little embarrassed as he looked at the charming and beautiful woman in a goose yellow dress in front of him.
"I didn't expect that praying for marriage in Bodhi Temple would be so effective. I met a girl as soon as I came out..."
Yun Wu stood there in a daze. This man seemed to be a scholar.
In the storybook, the fox demon seduces the scholar who goes to Beijing to take the imperial examination, but she is not a fox demon, she is a little lotus.
At this moment, the weak scholar suddenly saw the man walking towards him. He quickly raised his hand and bowed respectfully:
"Buddha."
"This donor, Miss Yun is a distinguished guest of the Bodhi Temple, not just an ordinary pilgrim."
Chu Wuxu said lightly, with Buddhist beads hanging on his hand, he nodded and bowed to the scholar.
"I am sorry for being so rude."
The scholar blushed and lowered his head and said that if the guest was a guest of the Buddhist temple, he could not disturb him, especially since he had the intention of finding marriage.
The scholar left quickly, and Chu Wuxu slowed down the movement of twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Did the Buddhist come here specifically to look for me?"
Yun Wu asked in a soft voice. This was the corridor from the Buddhist temple to the backyard. It was quiet and deserted. The pilgrims and monks were still in the front yard.
"Do not……"
Chu Wuxu said in a low voice, but his handsome eyes couldn't help but look at Yun Wu, his thin lips tightly pursed.
He lowered his eyes, thinking that monks cannot lie, and then he softened his voice and said:
"Yes, two guests just came to the Buddhist temple. I wanted to go and greet them, but I was afraid that you didn't know the way, so I came to look for you first."
Yun Wu's bright eyes suddenly lit up, which meant that her seduction plan yesterday must have been effective.
Chu Wuxu took something out from the sleeve of his cassock and handed it over.
Yun Wu looked down and saw a string of beads hanging on his slender and beautiful fingers.
"I have worn the Bodhi bead for a long time. Please wear it well."
"Is it for me?"
Yun Wu took the Bodhi beads with some surprise, then wrapped them around her wrist twice and put them on.
"Let's go back."
Chu Wuxu withdrew his gaze, and Yun Wu followed closely behind him. The two of them were walking on the corridor leading to the courtyard in the back mountain.
When passing the round archway, I suddenly met the abbot wearing a yellow cassock. Behind him were a man and a woman, two very unfamiliar people.
"Buddha Wuxu."
The abbot stopped and put his palms together. Yun Wu raised her hand politely and saluted the abbot, then turned her gaze to the two strangers.
Among them, the young man was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe and a sword at his waist. He had a handsome and upright appearance and carried two bundles on his shoulders, one on each side.
The woman next to him was wearing an exquisitely crafted dress and had a sword hanging around her waist. She seemed to have a very close relationship with the man.
"I am Mu Xun, a Taoist priest from Mount Shu. Nice to meet you, Buddhist disciple Wuxu."
Mu Xun put down his bag and bowed respectfully towards Chu Wuxu. The woman beside him also stumbled as he imitated him.
"My daughter Dong Zhiyi, an apprentice Taoist priest from Mount Shu, greets Buddhist disciple Wuxu."
"Amitabha."
Chu Wuxu raised his hand and leaned over to say, Yun Wu, who was standing behind him, was a little panicked.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over. Taoist Priest of Shushan, isn’t this the Taoist priest who catches demons that Lingzhi and his brothers mentioned?
Is she going to be discovered as a monster? Is she going to die?
Dong Zhiyi was quietly looking at the legendary Buddhist disciple. Mu Xun's gaze fell on Yun Wu, which made Yun Wu feel a little flustered.
"Who is this?"
"This is Miss Yun Wuyun, the person saved by Buddhist disciple Wuxu. She is now staying in the temple temporarily."
The abbot said that he had no right to interfere in the affairs of Buddhist disciples, and besides, this Miss Yun had a connection with Buddhism, so he and other elders in the Bodhi Temple had no objection to her staying for a long time.
"That's it."
Mu Xun said, then nodded and bowed politely towards Yun Wu.
"Miss Yun smells like incense, so she must be someone who has a connection with Buddhism."
Yun Wu nodded absentmindedly, then lowered her head and stood behind Chu Wuxu to reduce her presence.
Hmm? Isn't it said that Taoist priests who catch demons have very good noses? But why didn't this Taoist priest named "Mu Xun" smell that she was a demon?
He just said that she smelled of incense, could it be that... Yun Wu raised her hand and turned the bodhi beads on her right wrist.
This string of beads was often worn by Chu Wuxu, and it was tainted with the scent of the incense he burned when he worshipped Buddha, which concealed the evil aura on her.
Yun Wu carefully raised her eyes and looked at Chu Wuxu who was talking to the abbot.
It must be a coincidence.
But fortunately, she had the necklace given by Master Buddha, otherwise, she, a little lotus demon, would be dead today.
