The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 77 Leiyin Temple

People from Maoshan and Qingyuan Temple received an invitation from the authorities and offered to help.

They will send a highly skilled person from within their sect to investigate Fazhong Temple.

However, Maoshan and Qingyuan Temple are both quite far from Longhu Mountain. Even if you fly over immediately after receiving the news, it will still take several hours.

Therefore, the earliest it can start is the next day.

The authorities have sealed off Fazhong Temple and are waiting for people from Maoshan and Qingyuan Temple to arrive.

……

Meanwhile, in the north, in Tianlei City,

One of the landmark buildings here is Leiyin Temple, located on Tianlei Mountain.

Leiyin Temple is hailed as the number one temple in the Dragon Kingdom and the leading temple among all Buddhist temples in the north and south.

It shares almost the same name as the Great Thunder Temple, where the Buddha resided in the West.

The fact that this temple can share the same name as the Great Thunderclap Temple is enough to demonstrate its power.

Leiyin Temple is closed today.

Throughout the entire temple, all the monks sat in the chanting area, reciting scriptures with their eyes closed.

Because today is a very important day for Leiyin Temple.

Leiyin Temple will welcome a reincarnated Buddhist disciple.

On the preaching platform, the three abbots of Leiyin Temple chanted Buddhist scriptures and held up holy water to bless a boy sitting between them.

Below, sitting are the boy's parents.

The parents knelt in front of the stage, looking at their son on the preaching platform.

At this moment, their son had a solemn and dignified appearance. With a burst of golden light, the aura emanating from the boy gradually became sacred.

The blessing ceremony of Buddhist mantras and scriptures has ended.

The three abbots of Leiyin Temple rose and draped a Buddhist robe over the boy.

"We, the three disciples of Leiyin Temple, E'nan, E'yuan, and E'kong, pay our respects to our Grandmaster Maudgalyayana!"

After the boy put on the Buddha's robe, he slowly opened his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, all the monks below saw that in that instant, the boy's appearance changed slightly, becoming quite different from the child he had just been.

The boy slowly rose to his feet.

He looked at the three abbots of Leiyin Temple, E'nan, E'yuan, and E'kong, who were bowing before him.

He slowly raised his hand and said, "Amitabha, the three of you need not be so polite. This time, I descended to the mortal world for training, and I am grateful to you for helping me find my reincarnation and set up the altar for my guidance."

"Once this trial concludes successfully, I will return to the Great Thunderclap Temple and inform the Buddha of this journey. All three of you may then become monks at the Great Thunderclap Temple!"

The boy spoke.

The things he's saying now are completely out of character for his age; they don't sound like things someone his age should be saying.

After hearing what the boy had said, the three abbots of Leiyin Temple, E'nan, E'yuan, and E'kong, were overjoyed.

With this statement from him, all their hard work during this period has not been in vain!
After the abbots and the young monks exchanged a few words...

Below the stage, the boy's parents saw that their son seemed like a different person and anxiously went up to ask him what was wrong.

"Xiao Li, how are you now?"

"son?"

The boy's parents stepped forward to check on their son.

The next second, the boy looked at the two people in front of him, but took a step back, a hint of disgust showing deep in his eyes.

The boy asked, "Who are you two benefactors?"

The boy's parents were instantly stunned.

How……

Does your own son not recognize you?

They said their son had the potential for enlightenment, and that they were helping their son awaken that potential so that he would have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment in the future.

How come now that the Dharma assembly is over, you don't recognize yourself anymore?

The boy's parents were frantic. They stepped forward and asked, "Three abbots, what... what's going on? Why doesn't my son recognize us?"

The three abbots of Leiyin Temple looked at the parents, exchanged glances, and then smiled, explaining, "You two need not worry. Congratulations! Your son is actually the reincarnation of Mahamoggallana, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha."

After his wisdom awakened, he regained his memories of his past life. From then on, as long as he cultivates diligently, he will surely attain enlightenment, transcend the mundane world, ascend to the Great Thunderclap Temple, and become a golden-bodied Buddha. This is truly a wonderful thing!

The three abbots said this with smiles on their faces.

He then explained his son's current situation to the boy's parents.

He claimed that his son was the reincarnation of Mahamoggallana, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha.

In the first two years after the Buddha's enlightenment, Sariputra and Maudgalyayana took refuge in the Buddha. From the time they took refuge in the Buddha, Maudgalyayana stood to the Buddha's left, while Sariputra stood to the Buddha's right.

Except when they went to other places to spread the Dharma, they never left the Buddha.

Sariputra was able to eradicate all defilements and afflictions after half a month of renunciation with the Buddha, while Maudgalyayana was able to eradicate defilements, manifest supernatural powers, and attain the perfection of wisdom and supernatural powers of an Arhat in just seven days.

Among the Buddha's ten great disciples
Sariputra was foremost in wisdom, Maudgalyayana foremost in supernatural powers, Ananda foremost in learning, Upali foremost in upholding the precepts, and Anuruddha foremost in divine vision.

Mahakasyapa was the foremost ascetic, Purna the foremost in preaching, Katyayana the foremost in debate, Rahula the foremost in secret practices, and Subhuti the foremost in understanding emptiness.

His son was the reincarnation of Mahamoggallana, who possessed unparalleled supernatural powers!
Listening to what these abbots of Leiyin Temple said,

The boy's parents were stunned.

They exchanged a glance, sensing that something was amiss.

That's not what they said when they came!

When they came, I only told them to awaken their wisdom, which would be of great benefit to boys, essentially like opening their minds.

They will learn everything very quickly in the future, and Tsinghua and Peking Universities will be within easy reach. After their innate wisdom is awakened, they can stand out from the crowd.

How did it suddenly become the reincarnation of the Ten Great Disciples?
And they don't even recognize anyone anymore?

Damn it!

The parents of the two boys were anxious, but to no avail.

At this point, calling their son's name was completely useless.

They completely ignore it.

The Buddhist disciple left the Dharma assembly surrounded by a group of monks from Leiyin Temple.

The boy's parents were left standing there, completely bewildered, feeling like they'd been completely fooled.

……

At the same time that Maha Maudgalyayana was born,

Leiyin Temple also received news that all the eminent monks of the ten major Buddhist temples in the south had been arrested.

The three abbots of Leiyin Temple looked grim upon receiving this news.

Currently, the Buddhist sects in the lower realms are led by Leiyin Temple.

The Buddhist community in the lower realm is thriving, and Leiyin Temple, as a representative of Buddhism, has achieved great success.

The better they perform, the greater their chances of being promoted to abbot of Leiyin Temple.

The worse the performance, the more troublesome it will be.

If such a thing happened, it would be difficult for the Buddha's disciple to hear about it.

Their chances of getting into the Great Thunder Temple are probably slim now.

Therefore, the three abbots of Daleiyin Temple discussed it among themselves and decided that this matter must not be known to the Buddhist disciples.

While the Buddhist disciple is still adapting to the body recovering its magical power, [this is done].

The three of them decided to go to Tianlong City to deal with Zhang Tianlu.

If the matter is resolved quickly enough, it won't reach the ears of the Buddhist disciples.

At the Great Thunder Temple, the three abbots began making arrangements.

They've come to cause trouble for Zhang Tianlu.

Meanwhile, on Fenglei Mountain, Zhang Tianlu looked at the group of eminent monks from the Fasi Temple who had been captured on the mountain.

He gave a strange smile.
