As an ancient Buddhist temple that was once as famous as Shaolin Temple, Wu'an has naturally heard of it.

Lanruo Temple once had the titles of Southern Shaolin and Northern Lanruo, and it was very popular for a while.

However, in the past hundred years, Lanruo Temple has declined and is no longer the ancient temple that was as famous as Shaolin Temple in the world.

Wu An immediately asked: "Why should we go to Lanruo Temple?"

Lanruo Temple and Shaolin Temple are far apart, one is in the south and the other is in the north.

However, with a warrior's pace, it takes about half a month to reach Lanruo Temple.

Xuanbei replied, "Xuankong, have you forgotten? The end of this month happens to be the three-year exchange meeting between Shaolin Temple and Lanruo Temple."

Wu An's eyes flashed with confusion, but he had forgotten about it.

The three-year exchange meeting with Lanruo Temple can be said to be a tradition of Shaolin Temple.

The exchange meeting focuses on communication, including Dharma exchanges, exercises exchanges, disciple exchanges, etc.

Lanruo Temple and Shaolin Temple have the same origin, and the relationship between the two sects is considered close.

Wu An added: "Xuanbei, I remember that the temple does not have strict requirements for disciples to participate in the exchange meeting. If you want to participate, you need to register yourself."

Xuanbei blinked at Wu An, "So I signed up for you!"

Wu An glared at Xuan Bei, then smiled and said: "But it's okay, after practicing for so long, it's time to go out for a walk."

Xuanbei touched his palms and smiled, "That's exactly what it means."

......

End of month.

Luohan Hall.

Many Dorin disciples gathered together.

Those present were all inner disciples, a total of one hundred people.

Today, one hundred inner disciples will go to Lanruo Temple to participate in the triennial exchange conference.

Abbot Kukai sat cross-legged above the main hall and said slowly: "Disciples, today you will go to Lanruo Temple to represent Shaolin Temple in the triennial exchange conference with Lanruo Temple."

"Do you have any objections?"

All the disciples shouted in unison, "I will obey the abbot's decree!"

Kukai said: "Kong Wen, you will lead this trip and escort everyone in safety."

After the words fell, an old monk stood up next to Kukai and saluted Kukai, "Kong Wen will obey the abbot's decree."

Wu An's spiritual consciousness swept away, and he immediately knew Kukai's cultivation level and the second-level protector.

Kukai then said to everyone, "All disciples must listen to the instructions of the elders!"

All the disciples said in unison: "Disciple, remember this!"

Kukai said again: "This trip is a long one, so I hope you all will take care of yourself!"

After a pause, Kukai looked solemn and said, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Kong Wen, everyone left the Luohan Hall and took steps toward the distant Lanruo Temple.

......

Half a month later.

A hundred retired monks appeared outside a temple.

The plaque of the temple is engraved with three Chinese characters: "Lanruo Temple"!

These one hundred monks are none other than the disciples who set out from Shaolin to participate in the exchange meeting.

Outside the temple.

Fahai led a group of people to greet him from a distance, "I hope you will forgive me for missing the opportunity to greet you from afar!"

Abbot Fahai of Lanruo Temple and a group of eminent monks personally welcomed the guests, which shows that Lanruo Temple attaches great importance to the exchange meeting.

Kongwen stepped forward, saluted Fahai, and said, "I've met senior brother Fahai!"

Fahai smiled and said, "Junior brother Kongwen doesn't need to be more polite. It's been a tiring journey. Thank you for your hard work."

......

While the two were talking, Wu An's consciousness suddenly swept across the people in Lanruo Temple. He was shocked, but his face remained calm.

The abbot of Lanruo Temple is a first-level Vajra, and Wu An is not surprised by this.

The head of a temple naturally needs such strong men to take charge.

What surprised Wu An was the cultivation level of the others. None of them were second-level protectors. There were only two third-level holy monks, and the rest were monks in the middle third level.

Moreover, under the perception of Wu An's spiritual consciousness, most of those monks in the third and third realms are at the fifth-level realm, and only a few are at the fourth-level realm.

"The problem of Lanruo Temple's lack of support is quite serious!"

Wu An has heard some rumors about Lanruo Temple. It is said that the main reason for the decline of Lanruo Temple is that there are no successors. Over the years, the disciples have mediocre talents and few have outstanding talents.

If it weren't for the support of the senior monks of Abbot Fahai's generation, I'm afraid the situation in Lanruo Temple would be even more serious than this.

"Junior Brother Fahai, your Shaolin Temple is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"

As he spoke, Abbot Fahai glanced at the people in Shaolin, his eyes lingering on Wu An for a while intentionally or unintentionally.

Only Wu An knows that this is because Fa Hai discovered his spiritual consciousness.

Wu An felt a shiver in his heart, "A first-level golden king cannot be underestimated."

However, even if Fa Hai discovers the fact that he has spiritual consciousness, it doesn't matter. After all, he doesn't do anything wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. He has never done anything harmful to nature. Naturally, it will not happen that Shaolin cannot tolerate him.

thing.

Kong Wen smiled and said, "Senior brother, you are so complimentary."

With that said, he waved to the crowd, "Wuxin, come and see Abbot Fahai."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely handsome young novice monk walked out of the crowd of Shaolin Temple. He walked up to Fahai, clasped his hands together and saluted, "I have never met Abbot Fahai!"

Kong Wen introduced, "Senior brother, this is the Buddhist disciple of my generation in Shaolin."

Fahai's eyes showed surprise. He glanced at Wu An in the crowd inadvertently, then turned his attention to Wu Xin and praised, "Yes, the Buddha has the appearance of an Arhat!"

Wuxin replied: "The abbot is so complimentary!"

Kong Wen immediately asked: "Brother, why don't you see Yuan Zhen Buddha?"

Fa Hai sighed and said: "It's okay not to mention that evil disciple!"

Then he turned around and said, "Junior brother Kong heard that you have worked hard all the way, come with me to the temple to rest!"

Fahai nodded, "Then I'll bother you, senior brother."

The Shaolin people followed the Fahai monks and entered Lanruo Temple.

......

The second day.

Jingxin Hall.

Shaolin monks and Lanruo Temple monks are on both sides.

The exchange meeting between the two temples officially began.

Today, the first communication is "On Buddhism".

Fahaidao, "Today's discussion of Buddhism is based on the theme of "What is Buddha?" Disciples of the two temples can participate in the discussion at will."

Kong Wen said, "This is very good."

Fahai waved his hand, "Let's get started!"

After the words fell, someone came out from the side of Lanruo Temple, "Abbott, I have a comment."

"Buddha is neither a human being nor a god. Buddha is the nature of enlightenment. All sentient beings can be called Buddhas as long as they completely let go of all delusions, distinctions, and attachments, and restore the wisdom and virtue of their own perfect nature."

"Not bad!"

Fahai nodded, and everyone in Lanruo Temple also nodded with satisfaction.

"Abbott, I have a question?"

A disciple from the Shaolin Temple stood up and asked, "Since the Buddha is neither a human being nor a saint, then by praying to the Buddha, isn't it just for peace of mind?"

"Buddha is enlightenment. If everyone has enlightenment, doesn't it mean that enlightenment is a person and a person is a Buddha?"

As soon as this question came out, all the disciples immediately started talking about it.

"Is there any disciple who can answer my question?"

Fahai's voice sounded.
