As the chanting continued, there was also the ethereal sound of wooden fish from time to time.
Evening classes had already ended, and many monks passing by the guest rooms stopped one after another. First they were confused and confused, and then there was a look of enjoyment on their faces, and they gradually became immersed in the sound of chanting sutras.
Normally, they are very repulsive to chanting sutras, and feel irritable, boring, and dizzy.
But now the chanting sounds I hear are not boring, but are very enjoyable to listen to, not only the beautiful voice of the chanter, but also the content of the scriptures.
Even though it is difficult to understand and cannot be understood immediately, it seems to be full of an inexplicable charm, and I can't help but feel close to it, as if an immortal is caressing my head, calming my heart and soul.
Gradually, a large number of monks who had finished class gathered outside the guest room, listening carefully, even more intently than listening to the abbot reciting sutras.
In the guest room, many pilgrims were also deeply attracted by the sound of chanting sutras.
Looking around, I discovered that under a pine tree, a young Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged, chanting sutras, and tapping the wooden fish gently.
Many of the gathered pilgrims moved forward one after another, but when they were about ten meters away from Su Yang, they all stopped consciously. They all wanted to step forward to hear more clearly, but they did not want to affect Su Yang.
Inside the guest room, pilgrims gathered in three circles inside and outside the guest room to listen. Outside the guest room, this road was full of monks, and that road was full of monks. The road was blocked.
If trampling on the lawn wasn't allowed, I'm afraid the lawn would already be full of people.
Hundreds of monks, listening to a Taoist priest's chanting, were actually immersed in it and could not extricate themselves.
This strange phenomenon happened in Lingqing Temple.
At the same time, in the Huayan Hall, Abbot Huiming offered incense to the statues of the Three Holy Buddhas as usual, and then took out the jade porcelain vase from the hidden compartment.
Looking at the willow branches that had lost their former vitality, Abbot Huiming sighed helplessly, and the sad look on his face seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
Back then, when Abbot Huiming was young, he accepted his master's last wish before his death and officially became the abbot of Lingqing Temple.
Although Abbot Huiming was full of fighting spirit at that time and vowed to develop Lingqing Temple, the reality was cruel.
At that time, the total number of people in Lingqing Temple was only fifty or sixty, and many of the monks were already old, and there were too few newcomers.
By chance, Abbot Huiming picked up this willow branch by the stream, intending to keep it casually.
But as I continued to nurture it, the willow branches actually grew new buds and became alive.
Later, under the leadership of Abbot Huiming, the development of Lingqing Temple gradually got on the right track and developed in a good direction, but the speed was ultimately too slow.
I am afraid that the temple will not be able to live up to the high expectations I had when I was young until I die.
By chance, Abbot Huiming's cut and scarred hand recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye after touching a willow branch.
After learning about the magic of willow branches, Abbot Huiming naturally made use of them, and as a result, his reputation as Abbot Huiming's cure for all kinds of diseases spread.
Over the years, Abbot Huiming also discovered that as long as willow branches are enshrined under the Buddha statue, it seems that it can somehow improve the Buddhist luck of Lingqing Temple, which is very miraculous.
Since then, Abbot Huiming has relied on the magical power of willow branches to transform the originally unknown Lingqing Temple into the leading Buddhist temple in Jiangnan City in just a dozen years.
The scale is grand.
However, Abbot Huiming's ambition goes beyond that. His lifelong goal is to develop Lingqing Temple into the scale of Lingyin Temple in Lin'an.
It covers an area of 100,000 square meters, has 100,000 monks and millions of believers!
But now, the willow branch he relied on was gradually withering, and Abbot Huiming panicked.
"It seems we can't go on so smoothly. We have to speed up the process as much as possible before the willow branches wither."
Abbot Huiming held a jade porcelain vase in his hand, stared at the willow branch and took a deep breath, with a trace of anger appearing on his kind face.
"I remember that the opinion of the prison was good last time. Times are progressing, and Lingqing Temple should also change. How can the price of incense stay at the same level as it was twenty years ago?"
"We have to pay more!"
After walking out of Huayan Hall, Abbot Huiming's face returned to its former kind expression.
He raised his head and glanced at the full moon, which was vaguely visible in the night sky.
“The south of the Yangtze River, which has been hot for several months, has not been able to rain at all. The weather forecast also says that there will be no rain in the next two months.
But a few days ago, there was no warning, and there was a heavy downpour in vain. It rained all night, and I don’t know who the big boss was passing by here and took action by chance."
Abbot Huiming rubbed the Buddhist beads in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, as a monk, he is quite convinced in these aspects.
Especially after understanding the magic of willow branches, I believe that there are definitely "immortals" in this world.
This immortal is not the kind of immortal in mythology, but a person with extraordinary means.
But even so, it is an existence beyond their reach.
"It would be great if I could meet that big shot. Maybe he has a way to cure Willow Branch."
Abbot Huiming secretly hoped for it, but he knew that this chance was very slim, so he didn't hold out much hope.
After leaving Huayan Hall, Abbot Huiming took a leisurely stroll along the road.
"Let's go see these little guys."
With the purpose of paying attention to the young monk, Abbot Huiming walked towards the Zen room.
When passing the guest room, Abbot Huiming just raised his head and glanced, and was stunned on the spot, full of horror.
As Su Yang's chanting of scriptures reached a climax, countless people were immersed in it, with faces full of enjoyment.
In the woods, there was a sudden movement.
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
"Chacha!"
…
I saw flock after flock of birds, larks, and kingfishers of all kinds flying out in vain in the deep forest, and their numbers were so huge that they almost covered the sky.
The bright, crisp, light and graceful chirping of birds collided with the sound of chanting sutras, and the result was unexpectedly beautiful and not messy.
On the contrary, against the background of the calls of various birds, Su Yang's voice of reciting scriptures became more solemn and full of penetrating power.
Thousands of birds were circling in the sky, chirping, and echoing Su Yang. The scene was once extremely spectacular.
Abbot Huiming, who had just arrived, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, and his wrinkled face was filled with horror.
However, others were too immersed in the sound of the scriptures and seemed not to notice the changes around them, so they still closed their eyes and enjoyed it.
However, for a moment, the sound of the scriptures seemed to sound better.
But the netizens in the live broadcast room noticed this magical scene.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on here? Where do so many birds come from?"
"It seems that these birds were attracted by the Taoist priest's chanting."
"A hundred birds are paying homage to the phoenix, this scene is so spectacular!"
"Huh? What is that black thing flying towards you?"
