Chapter 65: The Temptation of Divinity (8)
In the Great Hall, Xuan Ci was tied up all over and could no longer make any sound. Abbot Xuan Tong was at a loss and was so anxious that he caught him on guard.
"The donor in the East, the 'Jilin Sect' is a Buddhist sect, with millions of believers. There can be no trouble at the moment... Xuan Ci is too anxious and has not said clearly. Don't be as knowledgeable as him..."
Some words were inconvenient to him. There was a saying in the sect that Monk Xinyong was Xuan Ci's illegitimate son, so he was very fond of him. It turned out that the abbot of the above, due to Xuan Ci's excellent talent and high combat power, he recognized it with a pinch of his nose. In fact, Buddhism is becoming increasingly loose, and there are many high-level monks who "get married" outside.
Jing Hua came to listen to the "gift order", but he could not refute the face of Abbot Xuantong. He had no blood feud with Xuanci, so he did not have the intention to kill. Although the old monk was half dead by the "Dragon Eye Ghost Flower Vine", he was not in danger of life.
After hearing Xuantong's sincere words, Jing Hua nodded. With a move of his left arm, the stem and vines immediately retracted the branches and vines, and flew back to his wrist.
After a while, Xuanci recovered. The old monk blushed and slowly stood up from the ground.
He was so arrogant that he wanted to learn the "Qimen Weapon" that he had been let go after a move, and he had to rely on Xuantong to beg for rescue. Although he "escape from death", Dongfang Wu was standing there, and as soon as the "Qimen Weapon" came out, he could not resist it.
Xuan Ci was willing to say a few harsh words, but his body was full of pain, reminding him of the gap between him and his opponent. The old monk "humph" for a long time, and finally turned his head away and said nothing.
Seeing this, Jing Hua bowed to Xuantong: "Thank you for your instructions. If you have the chance in the future, welcome to come to Xique as a guest."
After saying that, he turned around and left the Main Hall and left the temple gate.
"Lanruo Temple" is located next to "Bauhinia City", with endless believers coming and burning incense. But at this moment, the gate is empty and no believer can see it.
Jing Hua was a little surprised and walked down the stone steps of the mountain gate. Soon he turned around a valley and slowed down on the hillside.
"Swish...swish...swish..."
I saw a gray-robed monk holding a broom in the mountain pavilion and was arching his body to sweep the floor. The monk was not young, with an ordinary appearance, with a few long beards sparse, and was completely white. He was slow to move, had energy but was weak, and did not look like he had a cultivation level.
Jing Hua's eyes shrank slightly and his body was tense. The breath around the sweeping monk was weak, but it faintly suppressed all external objects. Since entering the "Naran World", Jing Hua has encountered a master whose cultivation level surpasses his own for the first time, and he is a monk.
As hesitated, the old monk stopped, put the broom aside, and turned to look at Jing Hua. His eyes were dull and his expression was dazed, as if he was blind. For some reason, Jing Hua felt as if he was frizzy.
"Haha, no wonder the Eastern donor became famous and no one could control it. With this skill of covering the breath, even the monk couldn't see the details. The young talent, admire, admire..."
The monk put his hands on, and a teapot and two tea cups appeared on the stone table. The old monk turned his head and said, "Meeting each other is fate. Can the donor delay for a moment and have a cup of leisure tea with me?"
Jing Hua did not answer and turned to look down at the mountain. The old monk smiled and said, "The donor is worried about that entourage? Actually, I have seen it just now, so I only asked her to stay at the foot of the mountain. If the donor is worried, please ask her to come up..."
Before coming to "Lanruo Temple", Jing Hua brought Ji Ying with him. To show respect, the "Druid" did not enter the temple with him.
The other party took out two teacups, and it was obvious that the carriage and horse were unwilling to participate. Jing Hua heard that Ji Ying was safe, so he stopped caring. He strode down the stone steps and came to the front of the pavilion.
"Thank you for the tea..."
When a cup of tea is in his mouth, a faint fragrance of medicine bursts out, instantly spreading the soul and sea of consciousness. The fragrance is elegant and pleasant, and it will never disperse for a long time. The inside and outside of the body are like a clear spring bathing, and the spirit is refreshing.
"Good tea!"
Jing Hua pretended to be Dongfangwu and traveled between nobles all year round, but he had never drunk such good tea. Only in the "Guanyue Continent" can he buy similar spiritual plants.
The old monk nodded, as if he was satisfied with Jing Hua's "openness". He turned around and sat down at the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I just saw that I have been practicing Buddhism for many years and have not been out for a long time. I came here by chance to travel around. I heard about the donor's past and touched my thoughts. I would like to ask you a few questions..."
Jing Hua sat down and said, "Master, it's okay."
"well......"
Koji sighed softly and looked up into the distance.
"... The Abhidharma-kosha Commentary says: I promise that these three thousand great worlds have different shapes and magnitudes. It means that all sentient beings have increased their power first, and rely on the void, and there are wind wheels, and their magnitudes are numerous... I have been practicing for a long time, but I still can't let go of this. I dare to ask the donor, whether there are really three thousand worlds in the universe and infinite reincarnation..."
"Naturally, the 'eternal destruction land' on the Xichiao border is a clear proof. However, I think that the 'three thousand' refers to the general meaning, and the universe is endless and all-encompassing, and cannot be framed by exact numbers."
Kongjian turned his head and asked, "The donor is so sure?"
Jing Hua nodded and did not continue to explain. The old monk waited for a long time and knew that the other party would not say it out loud, so he could only sigh again.
"Oh, I have been taught... The donor has risen in Xiching. You should know the dispute between the new and old gods in this world. The two conflicts have been around for a long time. I wonder what the donor has to think?"
Jing Hua was silent for a moment and said, "Religion has no advantages and disadvantages, but character has its own advantages and disadvantages."
"oh?"
Kongjian put down the teacup and said, "... As far as I know, the donor has always been disdainful to the "New God Cult". The humiliation of the "Jiguang Temple" in Xichiao was first, and the "May Village" in the middle was later slaughtered, and dozens of paladins died. How could you think that "religion has no advantages and disadvantages"?"
Jing Hua nodded secretly. There were many people present in the "Jiguang Temple" incident, and it was not surprising that the old monk knew it. Ji Ying took action in the rice balls in the "May Village" and killed all the paladins present. The news was still secret. The "Old God Cult" was able to figure it out so quickly, which shows its profound background.
The only possible leaks are the "Mad Fish Mercenary Group" and the customers who are staying in the hotel.
The mercenary group originally suggested killing all the merchants, but was stopped by Jing Hua and others. He asked the Zadari brothers to send the person to Xichui, and then slowly release them after they return, and give more money and subsidies. He did not expect that the Buddhists still found clues and found out the truth.
"When taking action, one is that the 'New God' is bullying people first, and the other is that they do not like their teachings. Although religion has no advantages and disadvantages, the people have the freedom to choose. The 'New God' is particularly disgusting to spread doctrines and force others to change their choices."
Kong Jian laughed and said, "Is that so? As far as I know, when the 'New God Cult' was first established, it also built bridges and roads to cure diseases and save people. It has accumulated a lot of merit. If you look closely, the Buddhist precepts are loose, and evil people are frequently released, causing a lot of evil debts."
