Tian Xiaozhen's major is completely different from what Zhou Tong said, and she was confused. Although she temporarily read a lot of books about Tibetan Buddhism in order to do this project with her teacher, they didn't seem to be very useful. He blushed and asked, "Brother, what do you mean? Can we still go out?"

"In the thought of Tibetan Tantric, the five basic elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and space can form a world. Mount Sumeru is the sacred mountain where the Buddha lived, and is called the center of the world. Tantric Buddhism will use Mount Sumeru as the center of the nine The mountains, the eight seas, the four continents, and the sun and the moon constantly rotating above the head form a world called the Sumeru World. And we are now in a small world of Sumeru preserved in a mirror. As for whether we can get out or not Get out..." Zhou Tong said rather awkwardly, "I'm afraid we have to find an exit."

Thinking of what happened before, Tian Xiaozhen said angrily, "It's all my fault, it would be fine if I didn't chant mantras indiscriminately."

"I don't blame you." Zhou Tong comforted, "No one expected this to happen."

Tian Xiaozhen was still very sad, she asked: "Then what should we do now, brother?"

"Let's go up the mountain to have a look first." Zhou Tong said, "Since we were drawn into this small world of Sumeru by letting us fall into the pilgrimage team, there must be a reason, so we followed the pilgrimage team to the Buddhist temple. inside."

"Okay." Tian Xiaozhen nodded hurriedly, she cheered up and followed Zhou Tong's footsteps.

Zhou Tong stopped suddenly, his eyes fell on the person next to him, he looked at it for a long time, and then asked in disbelief: "Ling Yuan, look at this person, is it me?"

Ling Yuan looked over, frowned, and said, "I look exactly like you."

The man was wearing coarse cloth with tattered patches and unkempt face. Although his facial features were exactly the same as Zhou Tong's, his skin was a sallow yellow that had been blown by the wind for a long time, and his whole body was also strangely thin and sick.

In the large pilgrimage group, he walked three steps and then stopped to kowtow to the temple on the high mountain. He behaved piously and kept his eyes fixed, as if he didn't see Zhou Tong and the others at all.

Zhou Tong glanced casually in the crowd again, and found a person who looked like Ling Yuan.

Zhou Tong looked at the man with a helpless smile and said, "This man looks like you. Look at him, everyone else looks pious, and he looks like you with his frowning all day long and his expression of bitterness and hatred."

Ling Yuan: "???" Where did I suffer so much? ?

Seeing that there were two people who looked very similar to them, Tian Xiaozhen asked curiously: "What about me, brother? Have you seen anyone who looks like me?"

"Not yet." Zhou Tong teased her with a smile, "Maybe not."

Tian Xiaozhen looked regretful.

Zhou Tong said: "I feel like they can't see us, otherwise why would they have no reaction at all, is it too pious to say they are pious?"

Hearing this, Ling Yuan walked up to a person and stopped him for a while. The person looked up at Ling Yuan, then turned around Ling Yuan without saying anything, and continued on the pilgrimage road without hesitation. OK.

Zhou Tong: "...the great power of faith."

No longer lingering, Zhou Tong picked up the backpack that Tian Xiaozhen had hooked and brought over from the ground, opened the backpack and looked, the little puppet cat was so heartbroken that he fell asleep, Zhou Tong smiled helplessly, and pulled Zipper on the backpack, and said, "Don't talk about that, go up the mountain and have a look, I don't know what year this is, just don't treat us as a cult."

Several people walked on the side close to the stone wall, walking along the edge of the team all the way up the mountain.

When we approached the top of the mountain, the figure of Fo Miao appeared in front of us.

From a distance, you can see the top of the Buddhist temple, but when you get closer, you realize that it is not a Buddhist temple, but a pagoda.

There are many pilgrims standing in front of the pagoda. They put their hands together, close their eyes and face the golden body of the Buddha statue on the pagoda, reciting Buddhist scriptures devoutly.

Zhou Tong walked around, looked at the pagoda, and said, "It turns out that an eminent monk held a pagoda burial here today."

Zhou Tong explained: "Pagoda burial is the most commonly used method of burial for eminent Tibetan monks. The pagoda for burial of eminent monks is quite strict. The top of the pagoda is composed of leaves, the sun and the moon symbolizing emptiness, and below it is an umbrella representing wind. After that, there is a conical part that supports the wind and the sky, which represents fire, and colorful cloth belts will hang down from both sides of the umbrella as ornaments." Zhou Tong pointed to the two flying with the wind. Ribbon, also said, "Buddhist altars (sound with the same publication) are placed in the center, wrapped by a circular part representing water, placed on a rectangular part representing soil, and further down are four steps and carved as guards. The statues of the holy lion and Dharma theory of Buddhism, and at the bottom are the moon wheel and the lotus platform."

Tian Xiaozhen nodded after listening, still a little dazed, not knowing what to do now, so she could only look at Zhou Tong and wait for Zhou Tong's instructions.

Zhou Tong said: "It's rare to have a chance to see the tower burial. Let's take a look. Maybe this Sumeru Realm will let us leave after the tower burial is over. I don't know for sure. However, it should be nothing to us here. Influence, just treat it as a dream."

Tian Xiaozhen was relieved a lot, and stood aside quietly watching the entire funeral ceremony.

The chief disciple of the eminent monk came out of the pagoda. For a moment, all the believers present stopped reciting Buddhist scriptures and listened respectfully to the teaching of the chief disciple.He clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute to all the people present, and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.

Tian Xiaozhen felt drowsy when she heard it, and when she heard each word, it popped out of her ears intact. She secretly turned her head to see that Zhou Tong was listening with gusto, frowning and letting go from time to time, as if he had gained enlightenment. Similarly, looking at Ling Yuan again, he was also listening very intently, keeping his eyes on the eldest disciple standing on the stupa.

An hour later, the eldest disciple finished reciting Buddhist scriptures and performed Buddhist rituals. Then he mentioned the life of the eminent monk a little bit, but there was no sadness on his face. He said that the master passed away and achieved consummation. Cultivate Buddhism and ascend to the Paradise of Paradise early.

Zhou Tong was astonished when he heard it, and said: "Buddhism is vast, and after listening to Zen for an hour, I feel completely new."

There seemed to be something in the backpack. Zhou Tong opened the schoolbag. The little puppet woke up, probably hungry, and meowed at him twice. Mi Shishi, there is nothing in hand to feed the little puppet cat.

At this moment, a strong ray of light suddenly radiated from the tower vase where the corpse of the eminent monk was placed. There is a bridge of light between them.

For a moment, all eyes were on this place, and the eldest disciple looked at Zhou Tong in amazement.

Zhou Tong: "..."

He suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "I have a lover!"

Tibetan secrets divide the state of life into sentient and non-sentimental, and sentient beings refer to sentient beings with sentient beings.

Zhou Tong looked left and right, he was already surrounded by those believers, when the senior disciples of the eminent monk rushed down, those people knelt down in front of Zhou Tong, and made a full-body salute.

The eldest disciple panted heavily, and when he saw Zhou Tong, his previous expression of no sadness or joy disappeared. He put his palms together, performed the Buddhist ritual in front of Zhou Tong, and said: "Master came in reincarnation."

Zhou Tong: "..."

This misunderstanding is big.

He looked down at the little puppet cat curled up in the bag, and felt that this matter must have something to do with it, but the little puppet cat looked so innocent that day and blinked at him innocently, which really made Zhou Can't do it...

Forget it, these monks will not embarrass him after all.

Zhou Tong was afraid of causing further misunderstanding, so he hurriedly returned to his own etiquette and said, "If you stray into this place by mistake, I hope the sea will be in your hands."

The other party obviously didn't want to listen to him, and looked at him earnestly and enthusiastically, "Master has entered reincarnation and replaced him with a phantom body to continue preaching the law of cause and effect. I implore Master to continue to give us the truth."

What Zhou Tong said was Mandarin, but the other party understood it. I don't know what happened. There seemed to be no barriers or boundaries here. They were obviously completely incompatible with the people around them, but these people didn't realize anything was wrong.

Seeing that Zhou Tong refused to admit it, the monk knelt down in front of Zhou Tong, and made a full-body salute with the others. Zhou Tong hurriedly knelt down to help him up, and said, "There are many desires in the world. I have joy and desire. Afflictions also have suffering, sorrow and joy, and I cannot enter Buddhahood."

"Cultivating the Buddha will help you withdraw from the self, and you will not suffer if you don't stop."

"Yes." Zhou Tong followed his words, "Master also knows that abiding is the pain caused by attachment. To practice Buddhism, you can't do it, so why should the master be attached to me?"

"..." The monk was rendered speechless by Zhou Tong's rhetorical question. Finally, he lowered his head and said, "What the master taught is that the disciples are not enough in cultivation, so I hope the master can give me some advice."

Yep, went back again.

Seeing that Zhou Tong didn't speak anymore, the monk made it clear that he refused to go with him, so he changed his words and said, "It's getting late, please move Master to the temple."

Zhou Tong looked at the group of believers with difficulty, but it was indeed as the monk said, seeing that it was getting dark, and there was a kitten waiting to be fed in his bag, Tian Xiaozhen was a girl, and could not endure much hardship , I had to say: "Then trouble the master."

"Don't dare." The monk said hurriedly and tremblingly.

A group of people surrounded Zhou Tong and the others to the temple in the mountain.

The monk kept asking about the Dharma, and Zhou Tong could only politely respond with a few sentences, but Zhou Tong was very embarrassed by the joyful expression on the other side's face.

The temple is on the other side of the mountain, go down from the side of the pagoda, and walk for another hour to see the Buddhist temple.

The story of Zhou Tong spread throughout the Buddhist temple. Instead of the worship of ordinary believers, there were more worship of lamas in the whole temple. Zhou Tong always felt that people were staring at him everywhere.

A vegetarian meal was prepared in the temple, and Zhou Tong was honored as a guest of honor and placed at the front. The entire hall was so silent that there was not even the sound of chopsticks touching the wall of the bowl.

Tian Xiaozhen was depressed and constipated, hurriedly finished her meal and went out to get some air.Zhou Tong also wanted to go out to get some air, but there were people staring at his every move, it was terrible.

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks much, Ling Yuan picked up the dishes he had eaten for a few weeks in his own bowl, and just this small gesture attracted a crowd of monks to watch.

Their eyes fell on Zhou Tong's face, and then at Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan's long hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he ate his meal expressionlessly. He didn't care about the gazes of these people at all, but his natural qualities made him unable to find fault with his manners.

The eyes of the monks wandered between the two for a moment, with doubts in their eyes, even the monk who invited Zhou Tong to the temple was very surprised, and stared at Ling Yuan's face for a long time.

Zhou Tong quickly finished his meal and got up to leave. Immediately, several monks stood up and asked, "Is Master going to sit in meditation?"

"...No." Zhou Tong said speechlessly, "I just want to go for a stroll."

The monks looked blank: "..."

What does yo yo yo mean?

Zhou Tong walked out of the cafeteria quickly without waiting for their response, and Ling Yuan also put down the bowls and chopsticks, and followed Zhou Tong out.

After getting out of the room and breathing fresh air, Zhou Tong took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, and said, "It's really terrible."

Ling Yuan said: "I originally thought that the entry point for leaving here would be the corpse stored in the tower, but I didn't feel the energy surging there."

Zhou Tong did not answer Ling Yuan's question directly, but instead asked: "Why do you think we were brought here? The owner of this bronze mirror is Yeshe Tsogyal, but this does not seem like her world." Zhou Tong Tong has been thinking about this question. He has been unable to understand what it means to be sealed in the mirror in the Sumeru world. It is peaceful and peaceful here. There is nothing else except the death of an eminent monk. Why is it necessary to be sealed? There is such a bronze mirror?

Ling Yuan didn't care about these processes at first, he only cared about how to get out, since Zhou Tong didn't like this place, there was no need to stay any longer, but Zhou Tong asked this question, he must be curious about this place, Ling Yuan asked: "You don't want to go out?"

"Of course I do." Zhou Tong joked with a smile, "This is not suitable for me, I am used to living a leisurely life."

"Then don't worry about it so much." Ling Yuan said, "Just find a way to get out."

"That's what it says..." Zhou Tong said, "But I'm always curious."

The grass moved, Zhou Tong followed the sound, and Ling Yuan simply shot a burst of air, blowing up the weeds, and a disheveled girl fell out from behind the grass, her big misty eyes blinked, and she stuffed her mouth with The bread made him unable to speak, and he looked at Zhou Tong worriedly.

She thought for a while, but swallowed the bread quickly without taking it away, and said with a dirty face: "I don't think you look like monks, let's pretend we haven't seen it today, you say okay?"

Zhou Tong was amused by her expression, and said, "You also steal food from the temple? You don't believe in Buddhism?"

"Believe." The girl performed a Buddhist ceremony after she finished speaking, licked her lips when she straightened her waist, and said, "Buddha has come to my generation, so naturally I won't have the heart to watch me starve to death."

After she finished speaking, she smiled narrowly at Zhou Tong, and then said: "I'll go first, they will find me soon, see you by fate!" After finishing speaking, she immediately jumped into the woods and ran away like flying.

A little later, the monk came to ask Zhou Tong to take a bath and rest, and the room allocated to Zhou Tong belonged to that eminent monk who passed away. Logically speaking, how could the obvious age difference between the two of them recognize Zhou Tong as an eminent monk? The reincarnation of the eminent monk, but those monks just recognized the Buddha's light, and believed that even if Zhou Tong was not the reincarnation of the eminent monk, he was an incarnation who inherited the supreme Buddhist teachings of the eminent monk.When the monk took Zhou Tong to see the room, he specially introduced it, and even introduced to Zhou Tong that his master was sitting there and passed away.

Fortunately, Zhou Tong had dealt with these ghosts in the first place, so he was naturally not afraid of these things. If it was someone else, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well all night.

Not long after the monk left, Zhou Tong was sitting in the room, looking at the futon where the eminent monk was sitting cross-legged when he passed away, he suddenly had an idea.

Since they believe that Zhou Tong is the incarnation of the eminent monk, let the eminent monk tell them that he is not.

When he slept until midnight, there was a loud noise outside. After Zhou Tong was woken up, he put on his clothes and went out to see that several monks were grabbing a person and pinning her to the ground.

The man was very powerful, and the three monks could not control it with their combined efforts. Suddenly, she yelled at her, and hit a monk on the chin with a backhand elbow, knocking the man to the ground heavily.

pretty!Zhou Tong couldn't help but congratulate her, and stood in the shadow, watching quietly.

Not long after, more and more monks surrounded the place, and it took five or six monks to restrain the girl.

The girl was pressed to the ground by the monks, and her dirty face was pressed tightly against the ground. In the darkness, those piercing eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky, shining with wild brilliance like wolves. Here, I am used to the regular and strict life of the monks, and suddenly I saw the girl's rebellion as if I saw a gleam of splendor.

Even at this time, she did not give in at all.

Several monks tied up the girl and tied it to a wooden post. The girl raised her head, looked at the monks, and said, "When the monk was alive, he was compassionate and willing to save all sentient beings. A little girl who is lonely and helpless is not willing to cross."

Several monks looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

One of the monks stood up and was the one who had been hit on the chin by the girl's elbow. He said in a nasty tone: "Nonsense! Every evil deed in the world has its own evil consequences. You have stolen food from the temple many times in the past few days." , has already committed an evil deed, and at this moment is just reaping the consequences!"

"Hmph." The girl snorted coldly, and said, "I was hungry, so I asked the monks in the monastery to take me in, but you refused. Yeshe Tsogyal, the mother of the Buddha, will look down on your behavior!"

Another person stood up, but his tone of voice was much better, "We are all men in this temple, and some people are uncertain about Buddha, how can you stay here as a girl."

The girl said: "I devote all my heart to Buddha, but no Buddhist temple is willing to take me in. It's ridiculous."

"The sky is big and the earth is big, wherever you go, you are practicing Buddhism."

"Then why don't you go wandering?"

The girl was very eloquent, and she made all the monks speechless. Zhou Tong was watching the fun, and suddenly someone said: "Since there is an incarnation of Master, it's better to let him make the decision."

Zhou Tong: "..."

Immediately, someone went to invite Zhou Tong. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Zhou Tong simply stood up and asked, "Do you have a place to sleep tonight?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I've been sleeping on a rock in the wild for three days."

"Hmm." Zhou Tong asked again, "Are you hungry?"

The girl hesitated, and finally nodded: "Hungry."

Hearing this, Zhou Tong asked a monk who seemed to be in charge: "Are there any spare rooms in the temple?"

"No more." The monk returned, "What does Master mean?"

"That's going to be difficult." Zhou Tong said, "Would you like to share a room with me and sleep for one night?"

"I don't mind sleeping outside, of course I don't mind this."

"Okay." Zhou Tong frowned and smiled brightly. He walked over to help the girl untie the rope, and ordered, "Go and prepare some food and water for her."

"Master..." The monks were quite unconvinced.

Zhou Tong looked at them gravely: "It's troublesome."

The monks kept silent, but they couldn't disobey Zhou Tong, so they turned their heads and walked away, muttering all the way, doubting Zhou Tong's identity, Zhou Tong wished that they would doubt him, so that he could be released from here as soon as possible.

When the girl entered Zhou Tong's room, Zhou Tong fetched water for her and said, "Wash your face."

"Okay!" The girl walked to the washbasin in a big way, took the water and began to wash her face seriously. She really wants to take a bath now, but it is inconvenient after all. She can see that this person is kind to her, but enough is enough She also understands.

There was a knock on the door, Zhou Tong opened it and saw that Ling Yuan was standing at the door.

With the moonlight behind his back, Ling Yuan had a gloomy face, as if he was very unhappy.

He asked: "I heard that you let a woman sleep in your room?"

"That's right." Zhou Tong said, "I saw that girl who stole the pancakes in the evening."

"Oh." Ling Yuan didn't care who it was at all. After he entered the room, the girl just finished washing her face. When she turned her head, she showed a face exactly like Tian Xiaozhen's.

Ling Yuan: "..."

Zhou Tong: "..."

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Oh, it's really similar to Xiaozhen. If it's not too late, I'll ask her to come and see."

"Hey!" The girl probably understood Zhou Tong's words, and smiled broadly. She sat down on the futon and said, "Is there anything else to eat? I'm starving to death. I haven't eaten for two days. That pie doesn't fill me up at all."

"Yes." As soon as Zhou's call finished, they brought over food, porridge and pancakes. The girl saw it as if she had seen a baby, and started to eat after receiving it.

Zhou Tong handed a jade to the girl and said, "Go and exchange this for money, and see if you can stop living such a miserable life."

"No." The girl waved her hand and said, "I came here from a long way to practice Buddhism. The master was a figure I admired when he was alive. Unfortunately, I found him dead when I came here, but I really want to see him. Those Buddhist scriptures left behind." Only then did her eyes fall on the surrounding bookshelves, revealing her strong longing for the first time.She tentatively asked Zhou Tong: "Can I read these books?"

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "As long as you don't break the book, that's fine."

The girl nodded excitedly, washed her hands after she was full, walked to the bookshelf piously, picked up the Buddhist scriptures and read them intently, without even intending to sit down.

"Let's go." Zhou Tong said, "Let's go to your room."

The unhappiness in Ling Yuan's heart disappeared immediately, and he responded happily: "Yes."
