Chapter 369 Is This Hell?
What If?
The Dulanke standing in front of the Yingxin Mirror is Qin Zhenghu, or someone else who is more handsome.
Then what Dulanke said sounded like fart.
But now the person standing in front of the Yingxin Mirror is Li Chu.
So much so that people who heard this, while thinking it was nonsense, couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in their hearts.
Is it possible that... the legend of being extremely beautiful is true?
Just haven't met him before? After all, I've never met such a handsome guy before.
Even Zen Master Ronghe, who was standing beside him, was a little shaken.
After all, he did not see anyone attacking the Yingxin Mirror, and the mirror did shatter on its own.
Could it be that he was really blown away by this handsome boy? Of course, this hesitation only lasted for a short while.
It was broken by the firm belief in his heart.
No.
This doesn't make sense.
In addition, Jianren's previous identification of Li Chu made him naturally suspicious of this young man.
Could it be that he really came to Yunfu Temple with some ulterior motive, and was afraid of being exposed by the Yingxin Mirror, so he used some means to deceive himself and destroy the Yingxin Mirror?
If that's the case, then he is not a simple person.
Zen Master Ronghe thought for a moment, and asked everyone to be patient and wait where they were.
Then, he first told his disciples to clean up the broken pieces of the mirror. He called another disciple over, and after instructing him for a while, the little monk left quickly. Not long after, he came back with something.
In the little monk's arms, there was a big white cat with smooth fur and a round body! It was lying lazily, squinting its eyes and licking its fur from time to time. It obviously didn't care much about the humans in front of it.
"Master, the Mind-Observing Beast is here."
"Okay." Zen Master Ronghe took the white cat, rubbed it twice, and held it in his arms. He turned to the crowd again and said loudly: "The Heart Mirror was damaged for no reason, but the first round of selection must still be carried out. Next, we need to use this rare heart-viewing beast in the world."
Someone below wondered: "Isn't this just a cat?"
Upon hearing this, Zen Master Ronghe emphasized, "This is the Mind-Observing Beast!"
Then the white cat raised its head and made a sound: "Meow——"
"Shut up."
Zen Master Ronghe suddenly felt very embarrassed and quickly covered its mouth.
The "Mind-Observing Beast" shook its head in displeasure, too lazy to argue with him, and closed its eyes again.
Highlight a coolness.
"The Mind-Observing Beast can sense the good and evil thoughts of all things, and be close to good and stay away from evil. The more kind-hearted a person is, the more he is liked by the Mind-Observing Beast. The more malicious a person is, the more he is hated by the Mind-Observing Beast. Next, the Mind-Observing Beast will test you." Zen Master Ronghe said.
In this round, compared to the Heart-Viewing Mirror which can directly penetrate into the soul to see the intentions of the person, the Heart-Viewing Beast is actually not that useful.
It can only sense good and evil, but cannot know the details.
However, in the case of the broken Heart Mirror, this could barely make up for it. At least in terms of distinguishing good guys from bad guys, it was better than the Heart Mirror.
Soon a new small platform was set up in front of the room. It was covered with a cushion and the white cat was placed on it, basking in the sun obediently.
"Now you just line up and pet the Heart-Observing Beast. It can feel the good and evil in your heart through touch." Zen Master Ronghe said, "Don't worry about it getting angry. As long as you are kind-hearted, the Heart-Observing Beast will let you go."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand.
The first to bear the brunt was naturally Li Chu.
In the last round, the Yingxin Mirror was blown up by him, and in this round, he was also the first to be tested.
This time, Zen Master Ronghe was also extremely alert and kept a close eye on Li Chu's body. If he revealed even a trace of his aura in an attempt to harm the Guanxin Beast, Zen Master Ronghe would definitely attack him without mercy.
Then Li Chu walked over and rubbed the white cat's back.
It's soft and feels good.
The white cat raised its neck and not only did not resist, it seemed to be enjoying it.
Nothing happened.
Did this young man really have no evil intentions? Seeing this, Zen Master Ronghe dispelled any doubts in his heart.
But just as Li Chu took his hand away and was about to move away, the white cat suddenly moved.
It suddenly stood up, then leaped up and jumped onto Li Chu's shoulder. Then, it lowered its head and attacked Li Chu's neck with all its might...
Crazy rub!
Li Chu was caught off guard by its sudden attack. He looked sideways at it rubbing against his shoulder and had no choice but to pull it into his arms.
After the white cat entered Li Chu's arms, it couldn't rub against Li Chu's neck, so it started to stick out its tongue towards Li Chu's hand...
Licking like crazy!
There were babbling sounds in his throat and his chest was shaking, and he clearly looked like he was enjoying it very much.
There was no trace of the coldness just now.
"this……"
Another unexpected situation occurred and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zen Master Ronghe was also a little confused. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Bring the Mind-Observing Beast back."
A few young monks came over and Li Chu cooperated by handing over the white cat, but the white cat was extremely unhappy. Whenever anyone reached out to take it, it would bare its teeth and look ferocious.
It seems like she's determined to stay in Li Chu's arms.
In the end, Master Ronghe took action himself and pulled the white cat over. It hooked its claws on Li Chu's sleeves, its eyes pitiful, as if it was reluctant to leave.
After a lot of trouble, he finally put the Mind-Observing Beast back to its original place.
"call……"
Zen Master Ronghe let out a breath and glanced at Li Chu.
He blew up the Heart-Viewing Mirror and nearly took away the Heart-Viewing Beast... There must be something strange about this young man.
But judging from Guanxin Beast's attitude towards him, he is definitely not a bad person.
No, it should be said that only a very good person, without a trace of evil thoughts in his heart, could be so loved by the mind-observing beast.
But……
Such a handsome and kind person...
Does it really exist? If there really is such a person in the world, then wouldn't we all just be here to make up the numbers?
Zen Master Ronghe was lost in thought when he heard a "meow" and then an "ouch".
It turned out that a man was stroking a white cat when it suddenly became angry and bit his hand.
Zen Master Ronghe's expression turned unfriendly: "The Heart-Observing Beast sensed the evil thoughts and expelled this person from Yunfu Temple!"
"you……"
The man glared, "You let a cat here randomly, are you kidding me? This cat is clearly looking at my face. I'm just ugly, how could I have any evil intentions? You... hey hey hey!"
His self-deprecating defense did not impress the monk. Before he could say something else, he saw a huge hand coming towards him.
"Go to hell."
Zen Master Ronghe raised his right hand, and a huge golden palm shadow appeared out of thin air. He covered the man's head and then threw him out fiercely. In the blink of an eye, the man turned into a star in the air.
Seeing this, Li Chu suddenly thought to himself, "I will definitely come back."
Of course, Zen Master Ronghe would not kill people for no reason.
Although this throw seemed to be extremely powerful, it was actually a gentle force. The man would be thrown out for at most a dozen miles and then slowly fall to the ground without suffering any injury.
Zen Master Ronghe restrained his magical power in an instant, and then without blushing or panting, he glanced coldly and said, "Our temple has been raising Guanxin Beasts for more than a hundred years, and there has been no mistakes. You don't have to worry about whether it can really distinguish between good and evil."
After that, Qin Zhenghu and Du Lanke both touched the white cat nervously, but the white cat did not give them any response.
It seems that Qin Zhenghu entered the temple for self-protection, and in the eyes of the Guanxin Beast, he had no ill intentions.
If it was the Heart-Reflecting Mirror from before, it would probably have exposed his origins completely.
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Chu with gratitude again. If it weren't for Taoist Master Li who blew up the Yingxin Mirror, he would probably have difficulty passing the test today.
In fact, Li Chu had some understanding of the matter of Yingxin Mirror.
Because during the three breaths he stood in front of the Yingxin Mirror, he had a clear feeling that there was a gentle force that wanted to penetrate into his soul.
But unlike others, he has the power to reject the prying of this power.
So Li Chu refused.
After all, he has something to hide.
But the Yingxin Mirror did not give up. After encountering setbacks, the power it emitted became more ferocious and stronger, and attacked suddenly.
It seems that he wants to have a clash with Li Chu.
Then.
It breaks at the slightest touch.
…
The first day of selection ended in the afternoon, and only a dozen out of a hundred people were screened out.
The selection of disciples for the Yunfu Temple has been going on for many years, and many people are familiar with the general process. Most people with ulterior motives will no longer attempt to enter the Yunfu Temple in this way.
Therefore, anyone who is still here and plotting something bad at this time must be not only a bad guy but also a fool.
Naturally, there aren't many people.
Afterwards, the young monk took the rest of the people for a stroll in the public area of the temple, and then asked everyone to leave the mountain gate and return to their secular villages to come back for the second round of selection tomorrow. Overall, the atmosphere was quite leisurely.
This is why Yunfu Temple deliberately arranges the itinerary in a loose manner, so that true believers, even if they fail to become disciples, can still experience the scenery of the Yunfu Pure Land.
At sunset, Li Chu and his friends returned to the courtyard where they lived.
"Damn it, I'm dying of suffocation."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qin Zhenghu shouted loudly, "I've been mute all day, and I almost forgot how to speak."
Old Du at the side smiled and thought that General Qin was really modest. It was obvious that the skill of using a mother to start with was ingrained in his bones.
At this time, Li Chu came over, and Qin Zhenghu suddenly sat up straight, clasped his hands and said politely: "We passed the test smoothly today, thanks to Taoist Xiao Li who destroyed the magic weapon. Our intentions were not exposed. Qin thanks you here."
Li Chu said calmly: "General Qin, you don't need to thank me. Since I have decided to help you, I will naturally do my best."
Qin Zhenghu turned around and slammed the table again, "That damn mirror really scared me when I took it out. It deserves to be broken."
After sitting for a while, Lao Du came back from outside carrying a big wooden stick.
He looked at Qin Zhenghu with an ambiguous look, "General Qin, are you ready?"
Qin Zhenghu looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed about to set.
He immediately responded with an affirmative look.
Lao Du said, "Come on, follow me into the house."
Qin Zhenghu said: "The room here is so cramped that we can't move around at all. It's better to be outside."
Lao Du nodded: "Okay."
…
After the end of the day, Zen Master Ronghe made a special trip to look for his nephew Jianren.
"Uncle Master." Jianren saw Master Ronghe and immediately asked curiously, "But what's the result?"
"Today, the abbot told me some things about the Dark Water Valley. What you said about the young Taoist priest leaving the Dark River unscathed is really hard to believe."
Zen Master Ronghe said, "Do you know that Senior Brother Yi went to Mingshui Valley to subdue the demon himself, but he failed to subdue the demon in the river and returned injured. Isn't the Taoist priest you mentioned more powerful than Senior Brother Yi? And how could such a person come to my Yunfu Temple to select disciples?"
"Can……"
Jianren was also a little surprised when he heard this.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Is it possible that this little Taoist priest is not a good person, and he is with the ghost in the Styx?"
"It's even more impossible..."
Zen Master Ronghe shook his head.
"Although there were some setbacks in today's test, and the Heart Mirror was damaged in the middle of the test, he passed the induction of the Heart Observing Beast. Not only did he pass... The Heart Observing Beast liked him very much, so it can be said that he must be a kind person with a pure heart."
"this……"
Jianren scratched his bald head in surprise.
"But it was definitely him that I saw that day. There is absolutely no mistake..."
"You and Jianzhi have always been good friends. Seeing him die tragically in the Styx, it's easy for you to be distracted. There's no need to worry too much. Just rest for a while and don't let it affect your mood."
Zen Master Ronghe gave a few final words of advice and then got up and left.
Jianren was left alone wondering.
After thinking about it in the room, Jianren suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I can't be wrong. This person must be wrong... Since he is not a bad person, I might as well go and ask him in person."
In fact, whether Li Chu was a Taoist priest or not was not that important to Jianren. However, the more the elders disbelieved him, the more Jianren felt that this person was definitely not a simple person. Instead, he became more curious and couldn't help wanting to verify it.
So he hurried out and went to the secular village.
It was already late at night. Jianren arrived outside the courtyard where Li Chu and his family lived. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard a banging sound coming from inside.
Someone seems to be fighting? Jianren hesitated for a moment and did not ring the door knocker.
Instead, he stood in place and used his Buddhist magical powers. His eyes shone with golden light and his sight penetrated the two wooden doors.
Then I saw an astonishing scene.
In the courtyard, the most burly man was half-kneeling on the ground, while the tall, thin, black-faced man was swinging a huge wooden stick and hitting him! Bang bang!
There were countless demonic auras surrounding him, covering up half of the yard, and the man's figure could hardly be seen.
However, the extremely handsome young man was sitting aside holding a cup of tea, looking as if he was used to it and looked nonchalant!
Even when the man finally seemed unable to bear it anymore, he uttered a wail, stood up and wanted to resist.
The young man suddenly pointed and said, "Sure."
The man was frozen in place, unable to make any move, and could only let the black-faced man beat him mercilessly! What kind of torture scene was this? The atmosphere was filled with evil spirits and smoke! The black-faced man wielding a big stick, and the boy watching coldly...
The scene was so strange and eerie that even Li Chu's handsome face looked evil.
Like a cold-blooded devil...
The little monk, who had been practicing in the mountains since he was young and seldom came down the mountain, had never seen such a scene. His pupils gradually widened.
“Is this…is this hell?”
