Chapter 64: The Temptation of Divinity (7)
In the suburbs of "Bauhinia Flower City", "Lanruo Temple".
As the core of the "Old God Cult" in the empire, "Lanruo Temple" covers a vast area and has a grand architecture, etc. It is not necessary to mention the temple host Xuantong Abbot is respected and has strong combat power, and has reached the realm of "Purple-robed Arhat".
In the main hall, the golden body statue of the "Land Buddha" is calm and quiet, clear and peaceful. Countless eternal candles are enshrined around it, meaning "where the Buddha stays, light is free."
There are five north and south temples on the mountains on both sides of the hall, with the wards and vegetarian halls, all ingenious shapes and orderly arrangements. The Buddhist temple and monks' houses are carved beams and painted pillars, which are simple and elegant, and are beautiful when changing the scenery.
Jing Hua stood in the hall, admiring the majestic beauty of "Lanruo Temple", while waiting for the abbot to come and give the instructions.
Three days later, he will meet His Majesty the Emperor, and Henry XIII will preside over the promotion ceremony. According to imperial customs, the nobles before the promotion must first go to the "Lanruo Temple" to listen to the abbot's "gifts" to facilitate the spread of the "Old God Cult" in the fiefdom.
After Henry XIII converted to the "New God Cult", in addition to going to the "Lanruo Temple", the nobles also had to go to the "Cathedral of Light" to show that the empire treated the new and old God Cult equally and did not treat it differently.
"Oriental donor, I've been waiting for a long time"
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and a middle-aged monk came in. He was of medium figure, handsome appearance, cassock and Zen stick all looked extremely eye-catching. Even if he didn't judge by his breath, most people could easily recognize him as the Abbot Xuantong.
"I am Xuantong, hereby congratulate the donor on his promotion. The "Give me an edict" is not listed here in the face of the common people. I hope that the Buddha will bless the Eastern family and enjoy health for generations."
After Xuan Tong finished speaking, he gave a gift, and it seemed that the "gift of the edict" had been completed. Jing Hua couldn't help but be surprised. No wonder outsiders said that Xuan Tong was respectful. The other party was indeed a cheerful person. Without a single nonsense, the "program" was completed.
Since that's the case, Jing Hua doesn't want to waste his time.
"Thank you"
Before he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Don't leave with me, Dongfang! I'll give my disciple my life!"
"Bang"
The side door was pushed down vigorously, and a tall and thin monk rushed into the hall. His skin was dark, his hands and feet were long, his cheeks were shriveled, and his ribs were lined up like split bamboos, which looked like skeletons at first glance.
Xuan Tong was shocked and shouted loudly, "Senior Brother Xuanci, what are you going to do?"
Xuan Ci turned a deaf ear and went straight to Jing Hua, looking up and down a few times.
"You are the Dongfangwu of Xichhui?"
“Yes, yes”
"Die!"
Before Jing Hua could finish speaking, Xuan Ci suddenly made a fist. Black light appeared around her fist, and a trace of death was faintly revealed.
"Slow-action for two"
Abbot Xuantong complained secretly.
He finished speaking in a few words just now, just to send Viscount Dongfang to leave quickly and not be blocked by Xuanci. Dongfang Wu killed Monk Xinyong, the "Jilin Sect" in Xique. When his master Xuanci heard the news, he rushed from the "Kapila Empire" to take revenge. By chance, the two of them collided in "Lanruo Temple".
Xuantong did not know the achievements of Dongfangwu defeating Rommel. Beckman ordered the nobles present to keep the secret. The "New God Cult" had a "saint" to inform him, and the "old God Cult" knew nothing about this. A viscount faced the sect leader of the "Jilin Sect", and the result was that there was a lot of danger.
"Lanruo Temple" once received a letter from "Jiguang Temple", saying that the Viscount Oriental has a close connection with Buddhism. His pioneering power in Xique will help curb the development of the "New God Cult". If Dongfangwu is promoted to Earl, the sect should set up temples in its territory as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, before the two sides contacted each other, the people started fighting in the temple first. Abbot Xuantong kept shouting, but could not stop Xuanci's attack.
Xin Yong is greedy and vulgar, and his cultivation is mediocre. Generally, both sides will not turn against each other completely. However, he and the old monk Xuanci are not only masters and apprentices, but also from the same clan and have a close blood relationship. Here is Xuanci, the "Lanruo Temple" who does not want to be interfered by Xuantong, so he came up and killed him.
When he was talking, it was soon enough. Jing Hua's whole body shone with golden light, and he suddenly waved his right arm and fought against Xuan Ci.
"bump!"
"Dang thump"
With his fists fighting each other, Jing Hua took five steps in a row before he stabilized his body. Xuan Ci also retreated for three steps, and his face couldn't stop showing a look of surprise.
He practiced the "dry Zen" of the "Linji Sect", which emphasizes "arms are like iron trees and legs are like roots", and ranks among the top three among the most recent skills of the Buddhist sects. The move just now was his unique skill of becoming famous, "dry trees are defeated and prosperous", and he actually competed with a junior.
Jing Hua was also surprised.
He practiced both spiritual and martial arts, and the eight foundation-building meridians have been opened to seven lines. The "Ashura Art" can be continuously rotated for a hundred times, almost in a state of great success. The "Purple-robed Arhat" is equivalent to an ordinary foundation-building martial arts practitioner, but he is slightly inferior to his fists and feet. From this, it can be seen that the opponent's martial arts has a unique secret, and the strength of the "Cavetian World" cannot be underestimated.
"This is this"
Abbot Xuantong couldn't help but talk.
Jing Hua didn't know Xuan Ci, but he knew it very well. As the leader of the "Jilin Sect", Xuan Ci's cultivation has reached an extremely high level. Among all the "purple-robed arhats" in Buddhism, his strength is overwhelming among the monks. Even if he is not unique, he is still one of the most peak people.
The Dongfang clan, who came from Xicheng, was even more amazing. She was able to fight against Xuanci at a young age. From this point of view, the previous letters from "Jiguang Temple" were not only not exaggerated, but also greatly "belittled" the strength of Dongfang Wu. This level is enough to establish a sect, and Buddhism does not need to send other people.
"Hahaha"
Xuan Ci smiled a few times and said, "Something tricks. Baby, no wonder you are so cruel. Xinyong is my disciple. What mistakes did he make? Even if you want to kill him? Today I will teach you a lesson on your master, so that you won't know that the world is high."
"Are you enough faults to recruit rascals, pretend to be Buddhist disciples, fool the people, and accumulate money. Also, are these mistakes enough for others to murder the nobles of the empire?"
"You spread rumors and false accusations"
Xuanci was speechless for a moment. He knew Xinyong's nature. He knew that his disciple went to Xique to spread the teachings of "Jilin Sect". If you don't say anything else, "fooling the people and accumulating money" would definitely not be refuted.
Since the truth cannot be explained, Xuan Ci simply ignored it and shouted directly, "Dongfangwu! I heard that you killed Xinyong with a Qimen weapon. I will understand it today, what is it?"
"As you wish!"
Before the old monk finished speaking, Jing Hua suddenly raised his left hand and a green light rushed towards Xuan Ci's face. Xuan Ci's cultivation was profound, and he immediately retreated and bowed, dancing his fists at the left and right at the same time, building a gray barrier in front of him.
"Divine Art of Depression and Zen", "Two Trees wither and flourish".
"Swoosh"
Green light blinked in front of him and was hitting Xuan Ci's fist wind. The green light did not bounce away as the old monk expected, but turned in the air and wrapped itself around his arm.
"Huh? It's a snake"
Xuanci immediately stretched out his left hand, trying to strangle the "snake head" to death. The green stem vines suddenly split into countless vines, first wrapping the right arm to death, and then spreading to the chest and abdomen.
"Ahhh Amitabha Buddha"
Xuan Ci stretched out his hand to pull it in a hurry, but the green stem vines grew much faster. Before he could break a few branches and vines, his whole body was tied firmly.
"Plop!"
His hands and feet were tied up, and the old monk could not support his balance, so he fell to the ground. Abbot Xuantong was so scared that his heart was shattered. In his letter to "Jiguang Temple", he mentioned the story of Xin Yong's death. Waiting for a moment, I am afraid that Xuanci would also follow his hiker's footsteps.
"Oriental donor, Eastern donor, show mercy, where do you show mercy"
