A Tale of an Adulterous Monk

Lu Jin glanced at the system.

The three opportunities for strengthening have all been refreshed.

As for what to strengthen, he already has an idea.

He stood up and left the main hall, and came to the mountain gate of the temple.

The main gate of a Buddhist temple usually stands in three doors, a big door in the middle, and a small door on each side, symbolizing the "three liberation gates".

The gate of emptiness, the gate of no appearance, and the gate of no action.

The "three gates" are also called "mountain gates".

Some temples have only one gate, also called three-door mountain gates.

The three gates are often built in the style of a hall, so they are also called "mountain gate hall".

The two famous generals Heng and Ha in Buddhism stand on both sides of the mountain gate, majestic and awe-inspiring.

The two Vajra warriors have majestic faces and angry faces.

Wearing a crown, naked upper body, holding a vajra pole in hand, with legs spread wide.

The warrior on the left has an angry face and opens his mouth, making a "Ha" sound, while the warrior on the right has an angry face and closes his lips, making a "Heng" sound.

The main difference between the two door gods lies in the opening and closing of their mouths.

The Buddhist Vajra Hum and Ha are the common names for the door gods of two Buddhist temples, and they are also a kind of Vajra.

Lu Jin looked at the two statues carved on the stone wall, and he was going to strengthen them now.

The Hum and Ha are the Dharma protectors who protect the temple and Buddhism from the invasion of foreign demons.

As long as the strengthening is successful, with the protection of these two Dharma protectors, at least there is no need to worry about ordinary thieves.

Moreover, the three doors are connected as one, and only one successful strengthening is required to meet his requirements.

"I hope my luck is not too bad."

Lu Jin muttered softly, the more powerful the item, the lower the success rate of strengthening.

Strengthening the entire mountain gate was second only to the Buddha statues in the main hall.

Whether he could succeed in three chances was uncertain.

However, he had to give it a try.

Strengthen!

He silently chanted in his heart, and a ray of light enveloped the entire mountain gate.

As expected, the first strengthening failed.

For the second strengthening, Lu Jin added some metaphysics just in case.

First, he took a bath and changed his clothes, then burned incense and worshipped Buddha.

After a set of procedures, the second strengthening began.

Swish!

With a golden light that only he could see covering the mountain gate, the originally ordinary mountain gate suddenly became majestic and solemn.

On the stone wall, the two angry guardian Vajra looked like they were alive.

Grinning, with a fierce look on his face, it seemed that he could walk out of the stone wall in the next second.

Punish those who have evil intentions with the force of thunder.

[Statues of Dharma Protectors - Two Generals Heng and Ha]

[The Dharma Protectors who are enlightened by Buddhism and protect the temples. Wherever the statues stand, evil will retreat. Those who have evil intentions and slander the Buddhas will have difficulty entering the temple. ]

Looking at the two vivid Dharma Protectors, Lu Jin's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

From his sight, he could vaguely see a layer of The barrier formed by the Buddha's light enveloped the entire Yakushiji Temple.

Anyone who enters the temple will be questioned by these two Dharma-protecting Vajra. If they have evil intentions, they will flee.

Even the mountain gate cannot be entered.

Moreover, even ordinary evil spirits are unlikely to cross the line.

The entire temple has become a semi-holy place for cultivation, a forbidden area for evil spirits.

Now there is no need to worry about things in the temple being stolen.

I thought I would need to waste several more strengthening opportunities to successfully strengthen the mountain gate.

I didn't expect my luck to be so good that I succeeded twice.

Looking at the remaining strengthening opportunity, Lu Jin threw it on himself without hesitation.

He now has the means to subdue demons, but he has not found a way to deal with evil spirits.

So, he plans to strengthen his eyes.

The strengthening system can strengthen everything in the world, including any tangible and material things.

Every flower, every grass, every tree, every stone.

But he is not sure whether this everything includes himself.

After all, the system has not explained it to him.

However, he thinks it can be done.

After all, strengthening everything does not make sense not to include himself.

"Let's try it first."

Lu Jin looked calm. It would be best if he could strengthen his body.

If he can't, he won't lose.

Anyway, at most he would waste a strengthening opportunity.

He can afford to waste three strengthening opportunities a day.

"Strengthen!"

Swish!

A light flashed before his eyes, and the dazzling light made Lu Jin close his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

Is this a failure or a success?

Looking at the same scene in front of him, Lu Jin was a little disappointed, thinking that this time the strengthening had failed.

However, there was good news.

At least one thing was verified, that is, the system can strengthen his own body.

Just when Lu Jin was thinking optimistically, the world in front of him suddenly changed.

The whole world seemed to have color and light in an instant.

Every flower, grass, tree, and even the birds flying in the sky, all appeared with a glow of various colors.

"Master!"

A familiar voice sounded beside him, and Lu Jin looked in the direction of the voice.

The figure of a middle-aged woman came into view.

This is a very devout Buddhist believer, and Lu Jin was deeply impressed.

During the time when he inherited the Yakushiji Temple, he could see this woman coming to worship Buddha every now and then.

However, at this moment in his eyes, a silver-white glow appeared on the woman's body.
