The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 732 Legend of the White Snake?
After hearing the news, Hui Ji, who was far away in Chang'an, didn't bother to collect more clues and information about the dragon girl, so she set off for Runzhou immediately.

When Huiji officially set foot on the border of Runzhou, all the members of the Qin Tianjian in Runzhou had already died.

Several prefectures and counties near Runzhou also adopted decisive blockade measures after learning of the catastrophe that occurred here.

So in desperation, Huiji had no choice but to go to Runzhou City alone, and calmly face the people who have been possessed by resentment.

Even Chihu, who had been by Huiji's side all the time, was dismissed by him for any reason.

It has to be said that Hui Ji, who has practiced all omissions, does have foresight.

As soon as he entered the city of Runzhou, he was surrounded by ghosts and ghosts all over the city.

Among them are ordinary people who are possessed by the dragon girl's resentment, and there are also those ghosts and monsters who take advantage of the chaos.

Hui Ji, who didn't want to do evil, spent a lot of effort to drive out all those evil spirits.

Immediately afterwards, he tried to dispel the resentment of ordinary people, allowing them to regain their rationality and start a normal life again.

At this point in the matter, Huiji has basically solved the trouble left by the dragon girl's resentment.

Next, he only needs to find the lurking white snake again, and re-seal the dragon girl's resentment in Suolongjing, and this incident is over.

However, Hui Ji considered everything that could be considered, but only ignored the greed in human nature.

Although Runzhou City returned to normal under Huiji's powerful means, the disasters that occurred during this period were genuine.

Floods, famines, bandits...

When Huiji realized that something was wrong, the price of goods in Runzhou city had already started to soar, and those merchants, officials, and wealthy gentry who were hoarding goods all wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune and recover their losses during this period.

Not only that, but even the charity money used to rebuild the dam was also corrupted by these guys.

In the final analysis, no matter how good the ideals and policies are at the beginning, grassroots personnel who do not firmly implement these ideals and policies will only lead to counterproductive effects.

But at this time, what Huiji lacks the most is subordinates who can firmly carry out his orders.

What Huiji didn't expect was that, perhaps because he was determined that he would not kill him, these guys who made a lot of money for the country actually started to plot against him.

First, he used the information that the White Snake was lurking in Longyou Lake to lure Hui Ji away, and then turned against him at the critical moment when he planned to seal her.

......................................................................................................

"In other words, you were tricked by a group of mortals?"

Mo Ran stared at Hui Ji's answering body speechlessly, and Pei Wende felt that his three views had been impacted.

"A true Buddha in the world who has practiced all kinds of supernatural powers and has no doubts about his tricks, was tricked by a group of greedy humans?"

Pei Wende knew that Hui Ji was naive.

Because if this guy hadn't been naive, he wouldn't have broken the precepts and practiced again, and vowed to establish a Buddha kingdom on earth.

But he never expected that Huiji would be so naive that he dared to believe the information given by those businessmen, officials, and wealthy gentry even though he knew they had criminal records.

"Haha, I know it's stupid, but that's how it is."

Faced with Pei Wende's sarcasm, Hui Ji laughed without embarrassment at all.

"Cultivating all the omissions does not mean knowing everything, otherwise I will really become a Buddha."

Hui Ji never thought that he was a high-ranking Buddha, nor did he think that he was much nobler than a mud-legged child.

Although this kind of mentality will cause Huiji to capsize in the gutter occasionally, but more often it will allow him to personally experience the suffering of the people in the world.

Keep the original intention when you entered the Tao, and carry it out unswervingly.

This is the bottom line that Hui Ji really values ​​and will maintain at all costs.

"Then what's next? Isn't your body already dead?"

He was obviously talking about Huiji's life and death, but neither Pei Wende nor himself seemed to reveal too many complicated emotions.

An understatement, as if discussing what to eat for lunch today.

To be honest, even Pei Wende himself was a little surprised by his calmness at the moment.

"Is my senior brother so lacking in prestige in your eyes?"

"Although that dragon girl was a real dragon who landed on the other shore, the resentment left after her death did not even touch the threshold of the other shore."

"If it wasn't for Liu Jintong's insight into the secret of heaven, how could I have been hit hard by her resentment?"

According to Huiji, he saw part of the origin of the dragon girl at the last moment of subduing the white snake, so he was overly surprised and fell short of success.

According to local legends in Runzhou, the dragon girl was a real dragon who was active in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

However, she was born much earlier than the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and she was a land fairy that existed before the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains.

The most important thing is that this dragon girl seems to have some kind of intersection with the first emperor Yingzheng.

Anyway, in the ray of heaven that Huiji had discovered, he once saw the figure of the dragon girl, who briefly appeared in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Lishan.

My own excessive surprise, coupled with the intentional or unintentional calculations of those mortals...

This finally led to Huiji not being able to subdue the white snake, but being severely injured by the resentment of the dragon girl in his body.

Thanks to Chihu's successful rescue again, Hui Ji was rescued at the most critical moment, and his ending of completely capsizing in the gutter was avoided.

However, Hui Ji, who was telling the story, didn't notice that Pei Wende's expression was changing.

[White Snake, Gold Mine, and now there is another Lishan Mountain...]

Listening to Hui Ji's narration with a complex expression, Pei Wende's heart could not be calm for a long time like a river.

When he first heard about the White Snake, Wen Wende didn't make too many associations.

But after Pei Wende discovered the gold mine in Zexin Temple, he already had a premonition in his heart.

Now I heard Huiji say again that the dead dragon girl had been to Mount Li and had a certain connection with Qin Shihuang...

Even if Wen Wende was unwilling to face the facts, he had to admit the arrival of a certain "fate".

No matter which version of "The Legend of the White Snake" is in later generations, Fa Hai is the host of Jinshan Temple.

Although the origin of the White Snake is different in each version, in some versions, the relationship between the White Snake and Lishan's mother has also been vaguely mentioned.

Coupled with Pei Wende's rough understanding of history and geography, he has indeed never heard of the Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou.

At least, there is no Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou today.

On the contrary, the current Zexin Temple has indeed discovered a golden mountain.

【That white snake... is really Bai Suzhen? 】
