Chapter 380: Ways to Escape
Candeng Temple, under the Bodhi tree.
Dao Hai was stunned when he heard Lin Ye's words, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.
He knew that he couldn't hide it from Junior Brother Dao Ji.
Junior Brother Dao Ji was very smart. I wanted to change the subject, but he saw through my mistake.
"Candeng Temple has a rule that the abbot is not allowed to leave the temple for his entire life."
Knowing that he couldn't deceive his junior fellow apprentice by lying, and that he himself was not good at lying, Dao Ji spoke frankly.
"Why?"
If an abbot cannot leave the temple for his entire life, wouldn't that be like being imprisoned? What's the point of being such an abbot?
"Because I am the lamp-bearing monk, I am in this temple, and nothing will happen to this lamp. The mission of the lamp-bearing monk is to ensure the safety of this lamp."
Lin Ye frowned. He couldn't accept Dao Hai's explanation.
Will this Buddhist lamp have problems if it leaves the temple?
Or is it that someone is coveting this Buddha lamp, and if the monk holding the lamp leaves the temple, will someone come to snatch the lamp?
But isn’t there a powerful person in the Golden Body Realm guarding the Candeng Temple, and some monks who are guarding the lamps?
As if knowing Lin Ye's doubts, Dao Hai continued: "Candeng Temple does not have a powerful person in the Void God Realm, while Leiyin Temple and Mantuo Temple both have powerful people in the Void God Realm, but Candeng Temple is the strongest among the three temples, just because of the existence of this Buddha lamp."
"If it is the sound of the lamp-guarding monk, the Golden Body Realm Lamp-guarding monk can use this Buddha lamp to illuminate the entire Huzhou territory and suppress the strong men in the Void God Realm. If it is the lamp-holding monk, once the Buddha lamp comes out, he can cross a realm and become invincible."
Dao Hai is now in the late stage . As the lamp holder, he controls the Buddha lamp. By crossing one realm, he becomes an invincible existence below the virtual god realm.
"For the safety of the Buddha lamp, I can only leave Candeng Temple after I enter the realm of Void God."
Virtual God Realm?
Lin Ye pondered for a moment. With Dao Hai's talent, it would be possible for him to enter the Golden Body Realm in twenty years, but as for the Void God Realm...
That's not a matter of talent, but a huge opportunity. However, it's obviously impossible to have such an opportunity while staying in Candeng Temple, which means that Daohai has no hope of leaving Candeng Temple in this life.
If Candeng Temple had the opportunity to become a virtual god, it would not be that there had never been a powerful person in the virtual god realm appearing in Candeng Temple.
"What if you insist on leaving?"
"You can't force yourself to leave. He is already bound to the Buddha lamp and can't leave the temple at all. You should just do as I say. I may be able to find a way to get him out of this predicament."
Lao Shi urged Lin Ye again, but this time Lin Ye did not choose to ignore Lao Shi's words. Instead, he waited for Dao Hai's answer.
"I can't leave. Unless I find the next lantern holder, I can't leave the temple."
Dao Hai's tone was very calm, without any resentment of being trapped. Perhaps it was because time had passed and the resentment in his heart had disappeared, or maybe he didn't want to show it in front of Lin Ye.
Looking at Daohai's expression, Lin Ye sighed inwardly. His senior brother has grown up and is now able to manage his emotions very well. At least at this moment, he cannot tell whether Daohai really doesn't care.
"Junior brother, it's actually quite good for you to be like this. You are a Buddhist disciple, and here the green lamp and the ancient Buddha are always with you, and no one comes to disturb you. And this is also my own choice. This Buddha lamp is very important to Buddhism, and it must not be lost."
As if he noticed that Lin Ye was a little worried, Dao Hai smiled reassuringly and comforted Lin Ye in a rare way.
"Brother, can you activate this Buddha lamp again?"
Lin Ye's sudden words made Dao Hai stunned for a moment. After a while, Dao Hai nodded: "Okay."
Dao Hai did not ask Lin Ye why he wanted him to start the Buddha lamp again, because he knew his junior brother. His junior brother seemed very smooth and did not even care about worldly rules, but he was actually a very persistent person in his bones. He was probably just trying to see if he could help him find a way out of the predicament.
He also knew that if he wanted to make his junior fellow apprentice give up, he had to let him try.
Dao Hai formed seals with his hands, and as his hand seals changed, a Buddhist lamp slowly floated up above the lush Bodhi tree.
Seeing this Buddha lamp, Lin Ye's face showed fear. It was this Buddha lamp that had the power to transcend realms. This was still a broken lamp. If it was complete, as Lao Shi said, it could even destroy the gods.
The Buddha lamp was suspended above the Bodhi tree. The next moment, the Buddha lamp was flowing, and a Buddha light was gently sprinkled down, like a golden veil, covering the entire temple.
"This little monk is quite careful. He doesn't know what you are going to do, but he controls the Buddha lamp to shield the entire temple. Even a powerful person in the Void God Realm cannot spy on the situation in the temple at this moment."
Lao Shi sighed, and the next moment he took the initiative to fly out of Lin Ye's chest, turning into a ray of light and flying towards the Buddha lamp.
Dao Hai was a little surprised when he saw light flying out from Lin Ye’s chest, but he didn’t ask any questions. He just continued to control the Buddha lamp to float above the temple.
"Brother, do you need to pay anything to control the Buddha lamp?"
Lin Ye didn't know why Lao Shi flew towards the Buddha lamp, but it was difficult to explain Lao Shi's identity to Dao Hai, so he had to change the subject and ask.
"Normally, it is not necessary, but if I want to use the Buddha lamp to fight the enemy, especially if I want to exert a power beyond my own realm, it will consume my Buddha power. If I exert it to the extreme, it may even harm my life."
Dao Hai did not hide it , and then said: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, controlling the Buddha lamp in Leiyin Temple only consumed a few months of my Buddha power."
Lin Ye stared at Dao Hai, wanting to confirm whether Dao Hai was hiding anything, but just like before, he could no longer see through Dao Hai's emotions.
"Junior brother, tell me about Miaoying Temple. Xuanhui should have managed Miaoying Temple well... I have heard some things about it in Huzhou."
Lin Ye changed the subject, and Dao Hai did the same. Like Dao Hai, Lin Ye did not expose Dao Hai's thoughts and told him about the development of Miaoying Temple over the years.
Dao Hai had a smile on his face and listened carefully. At the end, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, "I knew Xuan Hui was a good kid. He has been smart since he was young. It's really perfect for Senior Brother Daoneng to choose Xuan Hui as the abbot."
"Xuan Jing is not bad either. He is already in the middle stage of the blessing realm. His talent is higher than mine. When I was his age, I was not even in the blessing realm."
"Yes, Xuanhui and Xuanjing are both very competitive. Now Miaoying Temple is already the largest temple in Nanjiangzhou. The first place does not refer to its strength, but the speed of earning money from incense offerings."
Lin Ye's words made Dao Hai laugh as well, with a strange expression on his face. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do. Since the establishment of Miaoying Temple, we have been following the path of casting golden Buddhas, taking from believers and giving back to believers."
In the other world, although many Buddhist temples also make money, none of them is as extreme as Miaoying Temple.
Miaoying Temple was born to make money.
Just when Daohai and Lin Ye, two fellow apprentice brothers, finished chatting about Miaoying Temple, an old stone shot out from the Buddhist lamp above their heads.
"Lin boy, I have a way to get this little monk out of trouble."
