Great Swordsman

Western Regions.

Loulan Kingdom, Bodhi Temple.

The news of Master Huineng's passing away, the abbot of Baima Temple, finally reached here after several days!
"Amitabha." Yue Tiannu couldn't help sighing and shaking his head when he heard the news, he had a premonition that Huineng's death was definitely not a normal death, someone must have done something in the dark and killed him!

Fortunately, Peacock obtained the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra" from Huineng early on. Otherwise, wouldn't the unity of the three Buddhas become empty talk?

"It's so good." Yue Tiannu turned around to retreat, and continued to comprehend the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra". In the ups and downs outside, how can one's own practice be important?

Under the Bodhi tree.

"Qin Mengyao, Qin Mengyao must have killed Huineng!!" Peacock roared hysterically: "She was afraid that Huineng could cure the emperor, so she killed Huineng! It must be her, it must be her!!"

She found Xuanling, the son of Buddha, and must tell Jiang Yuange about this, so that he can expose Qin Mengyao's hypocritical mask!

"Amitabha." Xuan Ling smiled wryly and shook his head.

He spread the news that Huineng could heal Emperor Ji Xuan, and then Huineng died. The biggest suspect was indeed Queen Qin Mengyao.

However, Jiang Yuange has a calm personality and has always been strategic in his actions. He received the news and took the lead. How could he let Huineng die at the hands of Qin Mengyao?
Perhaps it wasn't the queen who didn't want to see the emperor wake up, but... Jiang Yuange?

Xuan Ling did not tell Peacock her guess, so as not to irritate her.

If the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows" hadn't been brought back by Peacock, he wouldn't even want to talk to him!

After sending the peacock away, Xuanling closed the door of the house, and continued to comprehend the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra"!
As long as you understand the great wish technique from it, you will be able to unite the two Buddhas first, and then get the future Buddha Dharma from Sanchen, and then unite the three Buddhas. Vulnerable!
……

Dijing.

Since Huineng's death, the White Horse Temple has not been closed anymore. Countless believers climbed up the stairs, either to pay respects to the Buddha, or to express their condolences.

"Amitabha!"

On the side of the Daxiong Hall, an elderly monk in a white cassock looked at this scene with relief in his eyes: "In this way, there is the atmosphere of Dagan No. [-] Temple."

"Master, Taoist Master Quanzhen, the master of Shenqing Temple, came to express his condolences." Monk Zhiyi trotted over from a distance.

"I understand." Huide nodded.

Huide is the younger brother of Huineng. He has been practicing in the Qiyun Pagoda for a long time. His Dharma is profound and he is one of the most prestigious monks in the temple.

After Huineng passed away, he walked out of the pagoda and won the support of most monks in the temple in a very short period of time, becoming the new abbot of Baima Temple.

The master of Shenqing Temple came to mourn Huineng, and Huide naturally greeted him in person.

The surrounding believers were not surprised, after all, these days, many important people came to express their condolences, and Hui De welcomed them all.

"Wuliang Tianzun, poor Taoist Quanzhen, brought his disciples from Guanzhong to express condolences to his old friend Huineng." Quanzhen took a white dragon horse and two juniors of the full generation, and traveled all the way, but he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.

"This seat, Huineng, is the new abbot of the White Horse Temple. All benefactors, please come inside." Huide stepped forward with his palms together, leading Quanzhen and others into the back mountain, and said on the way: "You don't need to be sad, brother, he has already comprehended life and death. This time I will be reborn in blissful bliss and see my Buddha, the Master should be happy for my senior brother."

Quanzhen looked at Huide, heard a little alienation from his tone, and saw seven or eight eminent monks behind Huide, he stopped talking and walked in silence.

Huineng's body was parked in the square in front of Qiyun Pagoda. At this time, many believers lined up to mourn Huineng, most of them looked sad.

Of course, there are also people sent by various forces, in the name of condolences, but in fact they want to find out the cause of Huineng's death!

No, when it was the turn of a handsome man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he approached the coffin quickly and reached out to turn over Huineng's body.

"Amitabha, benefactor, please don't disturb Abbot Huineng's peace." The guarding monk hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"It's you!" The majestic man snorted and said, "Zhizhu, I suspect that your master's cause of death is suspicious. Go away and let me check!"

The monk who stepped forward to stop him was Zhizhu monk with delicate features, red lips and white teeth. He looked at the handsome man in front of him and shook his head firmly: "Please forgive me for not agreeing, benefactor, please respect yourself!"

"Do you know who I am?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked at him proudly.

"My little monk knows that the benefactor is the son of the Ying family and the leader of the Imperial Academy." Zhizhu said.

"You know how dare you stop me?" Ying Wei was furious.

"Amitabha, the master passed away suddenly, and this little monk is also very sad, but the little monk and the seniors in the temple have checked, and there is nothing unusual about the master's passing away, please don't embarrass the little monk." Zhizhu said softly.

"Since there is no problem, why didn't you let me check? You must be guilty!" Ying Wei argued.

"Amitabha." Zhizhu didn't say anything, just put his palms together and stood in front of him.

Ying Wei wants to be violent, but there are too many believers here, most of them are ordinary people, and there are a large number of powerful monks from the White Horse Temple around, so there is no benefit at all!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was originally ordered by the queen to investigate the cause of Huineng's death, but all the people he sent were stopped, so he had no choice but to do it himself!

I thought that by virtue of my status, I could make others sell me some face, but I didn't expect this smelly monk to be so reckless!

Ying Wei was trembling with anger!

At this time, Huide and Quanzhen also came here.

Naturally, the two of them didn't have to line up, and went straight to the coffin under the attention of the believers.

Quan Zhen looked at Huineng with ruddy face, who seemed to be just taking a nap in the coffin, couldn't help his eyes flushed, and sighed, "I never imagined that the last farewell was actually a farewell."

Quan Zhenqing couldn't help sticking out his soul, wanting to check Huineng's body.

But before his primordial spirit approached Huineng, he was blocked by the coffin!

"This is..." Quanzhen looked at the coffin in amazement, only to find that it was made of a million-year-old gloomy wood, and the inner wall was engraved with dense Buddha patterns. Obviously, it was these Buddha patterns that blocked him. The spy of Yuanshen!
Quan Zhen couldn't help frowning, at this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was exactly the same as Ying Wei who was trembling next to him: If Huineng's death was not abnormal, why didn't someone investigate?
There must be something tricky!
Quanzhen looked at Huide at the side, couldn't help it any longer, and asked in a deep voice: "Abbot Huide, may I ask why Huineng died?"

Hui De said: "Senior brother has passed away, so why should the Master seek the bottom line and disturb the peace of senior brother?"

"It's not that there is nothing wrong with the poor, but with Huineng's cultivation, it is absolutely impossible for him to pass away without a reason!" Quanzhen said.

"That's right, I think so too!" Seeing Quan Zhen, Ying Wei recognized his identity at a glance, and hurried over to stand in line!

At this time, the believers who lined up to express their condolences were also alarmed, and they all looked over one by one.

Huide frowned slightly, he didn't like Quanzhen and Yingwei's behavior very much!

Even if Brother Huineng really committed suicide, they will be dealt with by their White Horse Temple. When will you make irresponsible remarks?
But in order to avoid spreading the situation and arousing criticism from outsiders, he could only choose to reveal some truths, so he sent a voice transmission to Quanzhen, saying: "Senior brother died because the relics were broken and the five decays of heaven and man, Taoist Master Quanzhen, if you really Treat senior brother as a friend, don't meddle in this matter anymore, just treat it as protecting senior brother's reputation!"

The relic was broken?
Quanzhen's pupils shrank, and he immediately revealed a clear expression. No wonder Baima Temple wanted to conceal the cause of Huineng's death!
You must know that relics can only be condensed when a person who cultivates Buddhism has reached a certain level of understanding and accumulation of Buddhism. It is absolutely impossible for non-eminent monks and great virtues to condense relics!

In the same way, if the relics are broken, it means that the Buddhist and Zen principles that the monk has practiced all his life have been broken!

If this spread, Huineng's reputation would plummet, and people would say that he cultivated a fake Buddha. Otherwise, how could it be destroyed so easily?

"I understand." Quanzhen nodded with a sigh, and then asked through voice transmission: "Abbot Huide, may I ask which eminent monk broke Huineng's relic?"

"This seat is not sure either." Huide shook his head.

The two of them were chatting through sound transmission, while Yingwei's mentality exploded over there!
Sound transmission, another damn sound transmission!

Damn it again, don't send me a sound transmission!

I, Yingwei, are so unimportant in your eyes?

He clenched his hands into fists and trembled with anger.

Over there, Huide and Quanzhen walked away while transmitting voices, leaving Yingwei on the spot.

Whether Ying Wei followed him or not, he was angry and embarrassed at the same time!

"Benefactor, please go back." Fortunately, at this time, Zhizhu came over to chase him away.

"Huh!" Ying Wei snorted angrily, and hurriedly said harsh words and left: "Zhi Zhu, you wait for me! I will be back!!"

……

Nanzhao.

In the blue sky, a cyan sword light was flying like lightning, surrounded by howling air waves, and landed straight outside the Nanzhao Imperial Palace.

boom!
The air wave hit the blue bricks on the ground, turning into a wave of air ripples visible to the naked eye, blowing the guards guarding the palace back again and again.

"I've seen Shi Jianxian!" The guards recognized Li Mu, saluted quickly, and sent someone to report to the lord Bai Qi.

Not long after, Tian Qi brought people out to welcome him in person!

"Shi Jianxian, you are back!" Bai Tianqi burst into tears, holding Li Mu's hand, unwilling to let go!

Are you so excited?

Li Mu withdrew his hand vigorously and said, "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, what's going on is my Gu garden, the Gu worm cubs that I worked so hard to collect from all over the world... are all gone!" Tian Qi's teeth were chattering when he spoke, and he didn't know whether it was anger or Distressed.

"Why is there nothing? But was... poisoned?" Li Mu asked with a fluke mentality, but he had a faint thought of someone in his heart.

During the day, Kai's lips trembled, and finally he let out a long sigh, and said: "Shi Jianxian, don't be nervous, after all, it is just a mere Gu worm cub, if there is nothing, there will be nothing, I will look for it again. Shi Jianxian, please, I have already ordered Everyone prepares the banquet, today we will get drunk!"

Not long after the banquet was set up, the doll came over smelling the fragrance.

"Ah! It's Li Mu~" The baby was overjoyed when she saw Li Mu, and rushed over.

Li Mu looked, his eyelids twitched.

I saw that the doll at this time was like a small meat ball, bouncing over.

His face kept twitching, and he said: "My lord, the food in Nanzhao is so nourishing, the baby... she has gained a lot of weight."

Shi Jianxian is humble, this is not a lot of fat, this is doubled fat, okay... Bai Qi smiled dryly: "Yes, my Gu garden... really supports people."

Li Mu raised his glass to drink in embarrassment.

The baby bumped into Li Mu's arms with a bang, and said coquettishly, "Li Mu, I miss you~"

miss me?

you sure?
Li Mu touched the baby's 'swollen' arm as thick as a leg, and was speechless for a moment.

"Young master!" Bai Sining and Bai Shu also got the news of Li Mu's return, so they rushed to see him.

Bai Sining is still a Earth Sha cultivator, and now he is at the 47th realm of Earth Shade, but Bai Shu is already at the second realm of Tiangang.

Of course, she is Tiangang who was promoted from the 49th level of Disha, and she is not even a star behind Li Mu.

A few people sat down, drank a few glasses of wine, and after a brief greeting, they talked about business.

Li Mu asked: "My lord, are you going to send someone to the Imperial Capital to discuss the Dragon Palace in two months' time?"

Bai Qi nodded: "Although I have decided to pay tribute to the Dragon Palace, it cannot destroy the unity of the human race. At least on the surface, harmony must be maintained."

Bai Sining who was on the side hurriedly said, "Father, I'll go, let me go, okay?"

During the day, Qi glanced at Li Mu, thinking that it would be okay to go with Li Mu's cover, but just as he was about to nod, Li Mu vetoed it!
"No!" Li Mu said in a deep voice, "My lord, it's better to let His Highness stay in Nanzhao to practice in this troubled time!"

"Sir, I will definitely not cause trouble for you, why don't you let me go~" Bai Sining looked at him pitifully.

Although everything is good in Nanzhao, but it's too boring, everyone follows her, how can there be any fun in walking the world like Li Mu?
Li Mu still shook his head: "The meeting in two months' time is the meeting of nations. I am no longer a high-ranking official, so naturally I am not qualified to participate. Moreover, I have important matters at that time, and I am afraid I will not be able to get away."

He didn't lie, there are still about [-] days before the Ice Emperor is on duty at the Nine Heavens Peak, plus the ten days on duty, almost infinitely coincides with the time of the meeting of nations, Li Mu will not waste the precious time of absorbing the energy of the sky Wasted on the wrangling of nations.

In his view, the Dragon Palace is powerful now, no matter whether you are willing or not, you have to pay tribute, otherwise, you will face the danger of destroying the country!

Even if it's a big job!
Ten real dragons come out together, the imperial capital will be destroyed in a matter of minutes, the royal family surnamed Ji will die, and the world will inevitably be in chaos!
"Sir, how about I stay with you all the time?" Bai Sining whispered.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the place I'm going to is very dangerous, at least you need a physique of the fifteenth stage of Tiangang to enter."

"Ah, I haven't entered Tiangang yet." Bai Sining looked aggrieved.

"Isn't it because you ate and drank with the doll all day, and you put down your practice!" Bai Shu stared at her with hatred.

Bai Sining has eight purple qi, and she can successfully cultivate to the 64th level of Disha, but in the end, she is only at the 47th level!
No effort at all!
"But I don't like to practice." Bai Sining said aggrievedly.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Bai Tianqi was also helpless, he also said Bai Sining about this matter, but he didn't dare to say too much, after all, he was a precious daughter, so saying it was like saying nothing, especially It was after getting to know Li Mu that Bai Sining became even more confident.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Bai Tianqi changed the subject and said: "By the way, Shi Jianxian, I remember that you have a very good friendship with the abbot of Dagan Baima Temple, right?"

Li Mu's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered the last time he saw Huineng, he was in a state of depravity that day, and asked hurriedly, "But what happened to Master Huineng?"

During the day, Qi, Bai Sning and Bai Shu looked at each other and sighed, "I heard that Master Huineng has... passed away."
