Full-time Swordsman

It was already past one in the morning when we came out of the hot pot restaurant.

"The hot pot is really delicious, but the ingredients are a little worse."

Fang Qingzhu did not forget to comment.

Lin Jichen smiled knowingly and agreed that the ingredients on Blue Star could not be compared with those on the Eight Desolate Continent.

The meat on the Eight Desolate Continent is full of spiritual energy. Not only is the taste different, but it is also very beneficial to cultivation after eating.

The meat on Blue Star is just for filling the stomach.

"There are also many monsters on Blue Star now. Next time I go to hunt some, we can make a monster hot pot at home."

Lin Jichen's proposal was readily agreed by Fang Qingzhu.

The two people who had eaten and drunk enough were ready to go home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the store, they found that there were many more people on the street.

And they were all approaching in the same direction, as if there was some activity.

The key point that surprised Lin Jichen even more was that there were many children among these people.

They all seemed to be in primary school, and there were even children as young as three or four years old, but they were all running on the street with their parents.

"Hurry up, baby, remember, you must do well in today's test."

"Son, come on, as long as you pass the test, our family will be selected to become a Buddhist family member, and then you will be blessed by Buddhism and have a bright future!"

"Daughter, we entered the game too late and fell far behind others. Now Buddhism has given us this opportunity, you must strive for it, and you can enter Cihang Jingan after being selected!"

"Remember, you must behave well when you see those abbots later."

...

The voices of these people flew into Lin Jichen's ears, and he frowned slightly, and doubted in his heart.

Fang Qingzhu next to him sighed: "Buddhism is really good at attracting believers. Even in Blue Star, they will not miss any opportunity."

Lin Jichen turned around and asked curiously: "Is it the same in the Eight Desolate Continent?"

Fang Qingzhu nodded and replied: "Take your Muxianzhou as an example. Tianyin Temple was only a third-rate sect fifty years ago, a branch of Buddhism. After only fifty years, they became one of the few first-rate sects in Muxianzhou, and believers are everywhere. You know, it takes hundreds or thousands of years for an ordinary third-rate sect to develop into a first-rate sect, but Buddhism can do it."

"In addition to Tianyin Temple, there is a Buddhist sect in each of the four states of the Eight Desolate. Fortunately, they developed separately. If they merged, they would have become a super sect long ago, and even be able to compete with your Tianyan Sword Sect."

Lin Jichen nodded when he heard it. It seems that no matter which world, the power of Buddhism cannot be ignored. They seem to be spread all over the six realms, with countless believers.

However, Lin Jichen never had a good impression of them, especially when Zhiyuan, the bald donkey, wanted to force him to become a monk and join the Buddhist sect in Yongdong City. He had no good impression of this sect.

But he was surprised that why did the Buddhist sect choose to select disciples at such a late time? Which sect would recruit people in the middle of the night?

Seeing these Jiangling people dragging their children to the temple with their families, Lin Jichen felt that something was wrong.

Confused, he couldn't help but stop a couple, who were in a hurry with a boy of six or seven years old.

Seeing Lin Jichen blocking the way, they were a little impatient and wanted to take a detour.

But the little boy was sharp-eyed and recognized Lin Jichen's identity, shouting: "I've seen him on TV!"

The couple took a closer look and were shocked.

Seeing that the two wanted to speak, Lin Jichen hurriedly made a shushing gesture, and then whispered: "Don't worry, I just want to ask you something. Can I delay you for a minute?"

The couple showed embarrassment and said: "But we have to rush to the assessment."

"It's okay, I'll take you there later." Lin Jichen promised.

The two were immediately overjoyed when they heard it, and quickly agreed.

Lin Jichen got straight to the point and said: "Where are you going to the assessment?"

"Yuan'an Temple." The man replied.

Lin Jichen narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very familiar with Yuan'an Temple. At the beginning, the temple was invaded by evil spirits and all the monks inside were killed.

It was Lin Jichen who ran to the temple to get rid of the evil spirits at the request of the government.

Later, Yuan'an Temple was originally closed, but not long after, the Buddhist Association sent other Buddhist disciples to Yuan'an Temple to settle in, and the temple was reopened.

Now this place is recruiting people, and it's so late, which makes Lin Jichen more suspicious.

He continued to ask: "How did you know about the assessment there?"

The woman interrupted the topic and explained: "I knew about it a few days ago. Many monks went to the city to publicize this matter, saying that Yuan'an Temple represents Buddhism and recruits children under ten years old in advance.Disciples, as long as they are selected, they can be selected into the Buddhist sect, and they will receive the focus of training from the Buddhist sect in the future. Their families can also move to the Buddhist sect for protection, and they don’t have to worry about attacks from monsters and demons.

Lin Jichen said in disbelief: "Why choose this late night? It’s not safe in the suburbs at night."

"Well, who cares? As long as we can enter the Buddhist sect, we will never have to worry about being eaten by monsters in the future. For the safety of our family, we choose to take the risk and go to participate in the assessment." The man said helplessly.

Seeing Lin Jichen's silence, the woman couldn't wait and urged: "Brother, can you take us there now? I'm afraid the assessment will be over if it's any later."

Lin Jichen didn't refuse when he heard this, but turned to Fang Qingzhu.

"Qingzhu, shall we go and take a look too?"

"Okay. "

Fang Qingzhu agreed readily.

Lin Jichen immediately activated his magic power, dragged the family of three into the air, and quickly disappeared into the night sky of the city.

At the edge of the city, there is a heavily guarded city defense line.

But so late, a large group of parents brought their children here, saying they wanted to cross the defense line.

The captain stationed at the defense line persuaded them again and again, telling them that it was too dangerous to go out in the suburbs at night, but these parents were determined and would not listen at all, and they wanted to go out.

The captain saw that it was difficult to go against public opinion, so he had no choice but to let them go, but he still sent a team to follow and protect them.

Yuan'an Temple.

This ancient Buddhist temple, which is hundreds of years old, is brightly lit at this late hour. , the Buddha light projected by the magnificent golden Buddha statue is shining, as dazzling as the bright moon in the dark night.

If you get closer, you can hear the clear Buddhist music floating out from inside, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

The parents who were originally terrified all the way calmed down the moment they arrived outside Yuan'an Temple.

It seemed that even if there were evil spirits coming out at this time, they were not afraid at all.

Tens of thousands of parents gathered in front of Yuan'an Temple with their children.

Soon, the gate opened, and two rows of monks walked out slowly. Surrounded by them, a bald man in his forties wearing a cassock walked out.

"Amitabha, donors, I am Chu Zhiheng, the current abbot of Yuan'an Temple."
