When we returned to the ground that day, it was still early, so Master Huiping asked the villagers to buy incense and candles.
He also found dry firewood in the woods on both sides of the river bank and placed them in the courtyard of Lingyun Temple.
The simple ritual ceremony soon began.
Master Huiping personally placed several large tile altars containing the bones of his disciples on the pile of dry firewood and smashed them.
The white bones scattered on the dry firewood, like many small white flowers blooming. .
Seeing Master Huiping clasping his hands, Qingfeng immediately signaled Xin Yun to step forward and light the incense candle.
"The impermanence of all things is the law of birth and death.
Life and death have ceased, and silence is the burning of joy."
Master Huiping suddenly said.
At the sign of the breeze, the Gui clan leader immediately threw a lit candle to the pile of dry wood.
The flames grew from small to large and quickly spread, and soon white smoke came out.
The white bones on the pile of dry wood were soon surrounded by blazing flames, and the white smoke disappeared.
Master Huiping began to recite Buddhist scriptures loudly.
The villagers also put their hands together to send off these eminent monks who had never met before.
Two hours later, the dry wood burned out and turned into a pile of ashes, and the white bones also turned into ashes and mixed with time.
What puzzled everyone was that Master Huiping did not ask them to help collect his apprentice's ashes.
Instead, he dug out a ball of still wet river mud with his hands on a sunny ground in the temple, and The ashes are kneaded together.
"Tianshi, Master, what are you doing?"
The Gui clan leader asked Qingfeng in confusion.
"If you do this, the mage naturally has his reasons.
We can just go and help him," Qingfeng said calmly.
"Master, everyone is doing this dredging work.
Disciples are going to help," Xin Yun said mischievously, then led the villagers to look for some more wet mud.
Following Master Huiping, the ground was cleared in a short while.
All the ashes were kneaded into it.
"Thank you folks for your help."
Master Huiping thanked everyone immediately.
"Master, why are you doing this?"
Some of the villagers couldn't help but ask.
"The reason why I am doing this is that I want to treasure the little dust that my disciples have left in the world forever in the Luohan Hall in the future."
Master Huiping replied seriously.
No one was surprised, but they just didn't understand the Master's method of preserving ashes.
Qingfeng, on the other hand, fully understood Master Huiping's good intentions, so he invited Lu Fengqiao's subordinate in black to tell him the truth.
Tell him quietly.
The subordinates in black nodded repeatedly.
Master Huiping saw it and came over to salute and thank the subordinate in black.
"Donor, I have entrusted them to you."
"Master, you don't have to be polite.
The Heavenly Master has just told me, I will definitely handle this matter and fulfill your long-cherished wish," the subordinate in black solemnly promised.
Master Huiping nodded.
Curious, Xin Yun hurriedly and quietly asked his master for advice.
"Master, what kind of medicine is sold in the mage's gourd?"
"The master wants to keep the ashes of his disciples in Luohan Hall, that's all," Qingfeng replied calmly.
"Master, I'm afraid it's not that simple," Xin Yun rolled his eyes and asked.
Master Qingfeng didn't answer, just smiled slightly Seven or eight days later, with the hard work of the villagers and the invited craftsmen, the entire Lingyun Temple was finally repaired.

Everything is as new as before according to Master Huiping's instructions.
Although the main hall is not majestic, it still retains a sense of majesty and solemnity, even during the period when the Third Buddha was standing.
There is also a seated statue of Master Guangde in the side hall.
Especially in the newly opened Arhat Hall, the appearance of each Arhat is shaped according to Master Huiping's memory of his disciples.
Seeing these Arhat statues, Master Huiping was very satisfied.
The head of the Gui clan was also very happy and immediately asked Master Huiping.
"Master, the renovation of Lingyun Temple has been completed.
In my humble opinion, we should take this opportunity to inform Buddhist believers from all over the country to spread the blessings of the Buddha and hold a water and land ceremony."
"This is a good idea, Patriarch.
If this happens, Lingyun Temple will definitely become famous far and wide," Xin Yun said excitedly.
"Where is the Heavenly Master watching?"
Master Huiping asked.
"It would be good to hold a puja.
Firstly, it would save the souls of those who lost their lives innocently for the treasures of the holy treasury, and secondly, it would also pray for the people of Tonglin," Qingfeng suggested immediately.
Master Huiping nodded.
"I will follow everyone's suggestions.
It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun.
Tomorrow we will hold a water and land ceremony at Lingyun Temple."
This was a grand event in Dianping Town.
The villagers in the whole town had never experienced it before.
When they heard that Master Huiping had made up his mind, everyone was happy and excited.
Naturally, they had money and strength to contribute.
The head of the Gui clan was even more busy.
Not only did he use some of the money donated by the whole clan to worship ancestors to ask people to print notices, but he also became the director of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
He arranged it in an orderly manner and considered it very thoughtfully.
He sent people to post notices of the Lingyun Temple Water and Land Dharma Assembly within a radius of dozens of miles.
As for the offerings used that day, they were neither extravagant nor wasteful, but they looked dazzling and varied.
When Master Huiping and Master Qingfeng met, they also praised each other.
It can be said that everything is ready and all we need is the east wind.
The next day, the villagers from Dianping Town came to Lingyun Temple before dawn.
Led by Master Huiping, they offered incense to the Third Buddha, Master Guangde, and the Luohan Hall, and quickly began to arrange the ceremony.
When the morning bell rang, Lingyun Temple had changed into a different look.
The third Buddha was wearing yellow clothes with the word "" printed on them.
The whole yard is also covered in yellow and red.
Some pilgrims not far from Dianping Town came after a long journey and were already kneeling on the futons in the main hall, praying devoutly.
Master Huiping was on the sidelines distributing pre-printed Diamond Sutras to other pilgrims.
Master Qingfeng and his apprentice were not so lucky, so they chose a place to sit on the river, and leisurely watched the devotees coming and going in and out of Lingyun Temple.
"Master, we were with the Master yesterday and it was still dark.
Why did you insist on bringing your disciple here?"
Xin Yun asked curiously.
"After all, today is the master's water and land ceremony.
If our master and apprentice show up, will those faithful men and women feel weird?"
Master Qingfeng said with a smile.
"That's right, Master, a high-level monk and a young Celestial Master like you.
It's really lively."

Xin Yun took over Master Qingfeng's words with a naughty expression.
The two masters and apprentices chatted like this, until it was almost noon, when the believers in the temple chanted sutras, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.
"Master, something bad is going to happen.
It's going to rain.
We have to find a place to take shelter," Xin Yun said worriedly.
Master Qingfeng calmly shook his head.
"There is no need to panic.
Master, this rain comes at a strange time and we won't get caught in it."
"Master, did you hear me correctly?"
Xin Yun asked in surprise.
Xin Yun smiled slightly and pointed at the dark clouds in the sky.
Come on, come on, come on:
