The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 957
"When did we...become enemies?"

She couldn't help squinting her eyes, Hu Rui'er, who only had one soul here, didn't want to break with Li Yanran.

At least after figuring out all the ins and outs, Hu Rui'er didn't want Lu Jun, Lu Yi and his father to be exposed to the sight of outsiders.

"From the time when the eight gods began to change..."

"Since you knew that the Miyin Temple was closed, but you didn't tell me..."

"From the time when Huiji returned to Weishan from Chang'an, and everyone knew about the disturbance..."

With just a slight wave of one hand, a shadow slowly rose from behind Li Yanran.

In the gusts of terrifying wind, one can faintly see countless ferocious ghosts roaring and roaring.

Different from the Five Gods and Ghosts with the names of the Five Plague Gods, those evil spirits behind Li Yanran are all her "spoils of war" over the years.

These evil spirits who were originally disturbing the wind and rain and harming the people in various parts of Tanzhou, after being subdued by Li Yanran, became her subordinate ghosts.

Just one or a few of them, Hu Rui'er may not pay attention to them.

But the problem is, once the hundreds of evil spirits become large, even if Hu Rui'er is here, she can't guarantee the safety of Lu Jun, Lu Yi and his son.

"So that's it. It seems that Huang Chao is more scheming than I imagined."

Now that she has learned the truth about Li Yanran's betrayal, Hu Rui'er is relieved instead.

"Li Yanran, you are the 'Four Sages' personally selected by Your Majesty!"

"Do you think that if I really plan to turn against you, I will alert the rest of the Babu Tianzhong in advance?"

Hu Ruier is telling the truth, although she is Pei Hui's incarnation, she is the "temporary leader" recognized by the Eight Heavenly Congregation.

But in terms of specific authority and influence, Li Yanran, who has been a "white tiger" for many years, is not inferior to her at all, and even has more prestige than her in some aspects.

After all, Hu Ruier is only the spokesperson after Pei Hui disappeared.
But Li Yanran is one of the four strongest protectors under the "True Gods of Heaven".

In terms of influence alone, even Huang Chao, who has inherited the title of "Xuanwu", may not be as strong as her.

"Then what's going on now?"

Not completely believing what Hu Ruier said, Li Yanran frowned and asked.

"Everyone knows about the changes of the Babu Heavenly Congregation, the sudden closure of the Miyin Temple, and Hui Ji's departure from Chang'an..."

"Don't tell me it's just a coincidence?"

"So what happened?"

Listening to Li Yanran's questioning, Hu Rui'er explained with some regret.

"Master Lingyou has passed away."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanran froze in place.

"What did you say? Chan Master Lingyou passed away!?"

The emaciated but full of wisdom image of the eminent monk seemed to flash before his eyes again.

Li Yanran still remembers that when he went to Weishan Mountain to ask for help, it was the compassionate Zen Master Lingyou who received him patiently and listened to what happened to him.

After experiencing that nightmarish encounter, it was Zen Master Lingyou who gave me full trust...

When I was tortured by the power of the tiger, Zen Master Lingyou also enlightened me to accept the power from my "father"...

Without the help of Zen Master Lingyou back then, Li Yanran would not have known what her future would be like.

"How is it possible? How could Chan Master Lingyou pass away suddenly?"

As a member of the Babu Heavenly Congregation, Li Yanran naturally knew how much effort Pei Wende and Hui Ji had put in to heal Zen Master Lingyou's early injuries.

Among other things, the precious medicinal materials that Hu Rui'er is responsible for transporting up the mountain every year is an astronomical figure.

The vast majority of those medicinal materials are not things that can be bought with money!

"I don't have to lie to you about this..."

"At this time yesterday, Chan Master Lingyou decided to return to the Pure Land, and passed away at the waterfall in the back mountain of Miyin Temple."

Hu Rui'er didn't reveal too many details, because she knew that this was enough.

Given the relationship between Li Yanran and Huiji, the next thing she has to do is not to continue to entangle with herself here, but to rush to the Miyin Temple that has been closed as soon as possible.

Of course, before that, Li Yanran still had a question that hadn't been solved.

"What are the eight gods planning to do? Are they planning to take this opportunity to cause chaos?"

Li Yanran knew from the very beginning that the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Congregation was not a single iron plate, but a loose alliance established with Pei Hui's prestige.

Although there are eight divisions within it, there are more and smaller forces under these eight divisions.

They are either heretic sects that have long lost their inheritance, or demons and ghosts that are outside the normal practice system...

But without exception, they were all attracted by the grand vision described by Pei Hui, and for this reason they even did not hesitate to expose themselves to the vision of the right way in the world.

The grand vision described by Pei Hui is based on the premise of subverting the current world's orthodox schools-Buddhism, Taoism and Buddhism.

This point is the general trend accumulated by countless subsections, and it is the general trend that even if Pei Hui is resurrected, she can only be dragged forward.

Although Li Yanran has extremely high prestige among the Eight Heavenly Congregations, she will not be so stupid as to forcefully resist this kind of general trend.

What Li Yanran wants to know most now is who secretly spread the news that Hui Ji left Chang'an?
And who exactly wants to use this opportunity to forcibly subvert the current world?
"It's Huang Chao."

The pupils tightened suddenly, and Li Yanran instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because Li Yanran, who has been in contact with so many secrets, knows in her heart that Huang Chao is definitely not just an ordinary monster in troubled times.

The birth of Huangchao originated from the locust plague ten years ago, but its essence is a collection of disasters and luck in the world.

Even without the locust plague that year, Huangchao would have been born in other forms to fulfill its mission of wreaking havoc on the world.

"This time, Huang Chao summoned some of his followers without telling me, and wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to completely end the lifespan of the Tang Dynasty."

Speaking the most dangerous facts in the calmest way, Hu Rui'er, who already had a decision in her heart, even felt a little relieved.

"He also wanted to take the opportunity to win me over and ask me to stop Zen Master Fahai for him at a critical moment."

When she said this, Hu Rui'er's voice paused for a moment, and then continued.

"But I don't intend to join his camp..."

"Your Majesty has saved my life. Zen Master Fahai gave me a chance to do it all over again. This is a kindness that I can never repay."

"The most important thing is that this world has finally calmed down. I don't want my husband and children to continue living in a troubled world..."
