Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 233 232, Nothing is taboo!Something is wrong with Fa Liuli!

Under Shen Lang's nervous gaze.

The illusory, ethereal, but extremely dangerous invisible energy that descended from the sky, like an endless waterfall, washed towards the small building for half an hour before finally turning into a trickle and slowly disappearing.

In the sky, the invisible vortex, which was formed by the gathering of the heaven and the earth, disappeared with the naked eye.

Suddenly, on the second floor of the small building where Mu Qingxue was, Mo Ming rang a melodious "Morning Bell".

At the same time, a mysterious energy spread from the second floor of the small building where Mu Qingxue was.

"Master Yan?"

Hearing the sound of the "Morning Bell" that cleared one's mind, and then feeling the mysterious aura, Shen Lang turned his head eagerly, looked at Yan Tianying, and asked him for confirmation.

The corners of Yan Tianying's mouth rose, a gratified smile appeared, and he nodded heavily:

"Successful! Xiao Mu has safely passed the most difficult stage!"

Shen Lang immediately cheered, and was about to take big strides and rush into the small building to congratulate and celebrate with Mu Qingxue.

Yan Tianying pressed his shoulders and said with a smile:
"What's the hurry? Xiao Mu just successfully received the empowerment of the heaven and earth spirituality, and she can condense the 'Baihui acupoint' successfully. Next, she needs a period of time to consolidate her cultivation and condense a star energy seed in the Baihui acupoint.

"This time, at least one day, at most three days, during this period, it is best not to disturb her."

The Gang Qi seeds condensed in the second grade Gang Refining Realm are not in Dantian, but in Baihui.

It is precisely because of this that the only key point of a second-rank warrior is the head.

After condensing the stellar qi seeds, second-rank warriors will always use the "Baihui acupoint" to attract the aura of heaven and earth.Reiki enters Baihui point, is refined into gang qi by the seeds of gang qi, runs along the "du channel" to the dantian for storage, and then circulates through the dantian to the whole body.

The practice of the second-grade astral refining realm is to continuously grow the seeds of astral energy, condense more and purer astral energy, use the astral energy to temper the body, meridians, and acupoints, and finally open up the "one orifice of the profound entrance".

When the "Xianguan Yiqiao" is opened, it is the time to climb the third ladder and advance to the first rank.

Hearing Yan Tianying's words, Shen Lang calmed down and stopped trying to rush into the small building to find Mu Qingxue.

at the same time.

In the capital, there are also some experts who have the ability to observe and sense the aura of heaven and earth, and they have noticed the change of aura in the sky above Shenchoutang.

A corner of the imperial palace, the front hall of the Taimiao, and the top floor of a nine-story tower.

A middle-aged man with a majestic face, a mustache, wearing a red robe with gold trim, and a bun, sat cross-legged in front of a one-foot-high alchemy furnace, holding a cattail fan, and gently fanning the wind into the furnace. From time to time, he made a hand formula into the alchemy furnace.

Suddenly, he raised his head and glanced at Shenchuitang, then turned his gaze back, lowered his eyes, and stared at Danluhuohou wholeheartedly.

After a while, there was a sound of light footsteps, and someone stopped outside the door and said cautiously:

"My lord, there is someone in the God Catch Hall who has successfully promoted to the second rank of Martial Arts. It should be Namu Qingxue. Please show me how to deal with this matter."

The middle-aged man did not change his face, staring at the pill furnace and said slowly:

"It's only the second rank of martial arts at the beginning, and it's still far from the first rank. Why make such a fuss?"

The person outside the door hesitated for a while and said:

"My lord, the Shenchuitang took several actions last year, which not only dealt a big blow to the Eighth Prince's property, but our property has also suffered many disasters... Now that Shenchuitang has added a second rank, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future."

The Eighth Prince refers to the real Bailong.

Because the real Bailong ranked eighth among the grandparents of the great ancestor, and later he was named the prince, so the royal family and their close officials all called the real Bailong the eighth prince.

The middle-aged man said lightly:

"It doesn't matter. The days of Shenchuitang's pride will not be too long, and restrain the minions, and tolerate them for a while."

The man outside the door said again:

"May I inform His Majesty about this?"

The middle-aged man said:
"The emperor has capable people under his command, so we don't need to worry about Mu Qingxue's breakthrough."

At the same time, in front of a palace in the palace.

A white-haired and white-browed eunuch with a ruddy face like a young man, wearing a boa robe and holding a jade handle to whisk the dust, stood at the gate of the palace, turning a deaf ear to all the melodious sounds coming from the door, squinting his eyes, looking at the God Catching Hall in the distance direction.

After seeing the invisible vortex that lasted for more than half an hour disappear naturally, the eunuch couldn't help shaking his head:
"It's a success... I didn't expect that there would be another second grade in Shencatching Hall. Is it that Mu Qingxue?"

Eunuch Zhang, who had dealt with Mu Qingxue before and also had third-rank martial arts, followed behind the eunuch, and said with jealousy:
"When I met Mu Qingxue in Yingzhou, she was only at the middle stage of the third rank, and she had only condensed one more mystery than Hai'er. I didn't expect that she would break through to the second rank in one go after only half a year of effort! Foster father, didn't you mean Mu Qingxue? Is Qingxue plagued by bad luck? How could she be promoted to the second rank so smoothly?"

The white-haired and white-browed eunuch said lightly:

"Bad luck is bad luck. Mu Qingxue's martial arts talent is indeed the most outstanding among the younger generation of martial artists. And the various disasters and dangers brought about by bad luck are not tempered and tested by the heavens?

"With her talent, after going through so many hardships and hardships, is it strange to be promoted to the second rank? With your talent, if you can also be like her, working hard all year round, fighting bloody battles with various powerful enemies, you can do it ten years earlier." The third grade is complete."

Eunuch Zhang laughed sarcastically, and said flatteringly:

"Father, do you want to report Mu Qingxue's promotion to the second rank to His Majesty?"

The eunuch with white hair and eyebrows said lightly:
"Naturally, I want to report to His Majesty. When His Majesty's game is over, I will submit the news when he is in a good mood."

Eunuch Zhang respectfully responded:
"Yes, foster father."

God catch hall.

Seeing that the most difficult and dangerous stage has passed safely, Shen Lang needs at least one more day for Mu Qingxue to consolidate his realm and condense the seeds of stellar qi, so he can't meet her for the time being, so he tells Yan Tianying that on the way back, he ran into a four-winged demon Owl thing.

Hearing Shen Lang say that the four-winged demon owl was raised by humans, Yan Tianying couldn't help frowning deeply, and said in a deep voice:
"Magic and cannibalism deserves death! How do you plan to track it down?"

Shen Lang said:
"The elder sister gave me a piece of 'Tuo Ying Crystal', and used it to print the faces of the two victims into the crystal. I want to go to the Liuli Temple, ask the Venerable Liuli to cast a spell, and help find out the identity of the two victims. Identity, origin, and then follow the vines to find clues. This matter involves monsters and is not an ordinary secular matter. Asking Venerable Liuli to take action is not a violation of the agreement."

Yan Tianying nodded:

"You're going to Liuli Temple now. I'll watch over Xiaomu, so you don't need to worry."

Shen Lang said:
"Then I'll hurry back."

Then he said to Qin Qing:

"Elder Sister, can you send me to Liuli Temple in Ningbi Mountain?"

Of course the elder sister would not refuse, she took out the small boat and turned it into a one-foot flying boat, boarded the flying boat with Shen Lang, first ascended to a height of a thousand feet vertically, and then flew to the southern suburbs of the capital.

Ningbi Mountain is only twenty miles away from the south gate of the capital, and in a blink of an eye, the flying boat came to the sky above Ningbi Mountain.

Liuli Chanyuan is a Dazheng Taoist temple of the first rank. Even Yan Tianying and Wanfa Daoist came to visit with Shen Lang, but they left the flying magic weapon outside the Zenyuan. Naturally, the elder sister would not drive the flying boat into the Zenyuan. Landed the flying boat in the bamboo sea outside the Buddhist temple.

Shen Lang jumped off the flying boat, turned around and stretched out his hand to the elder sister.

The senior sister held his palm, lifted the hem of the skirt with one hand, stepped off the flying boat, shrunk the flying boat and put it away, followed the path in the forest with Shen Lang, and came to the gate of the Buddhist monastery, and was about to explain to the nun Zhike about her visit, the little nun smiled said:

"The two of you are Senior Brother Fa Hai and the head disciple of Wan Fa Sect?"

Shen Lang was startled, sweating and said:
"Well, I am Fa Hai."

The elder sister gave Shen Lang a weird look, nodded and said:
"I am Qin Qing, the chief disciple of the Wanfa Sect."

The little nun said:

"You two, please follow me, the Bodhisattva is waiting for you."

With that said, he led the two of them into the gate of the Buddhist monastery.

Shen Lang followed behind the little nun and asked curiously:

"Your Majesty knew we were coming?"

The little nun smiled and said:
"Senior Brother Fahai has an exorcism seal made by the Bodhisattva himself. As long as he is close to Liuli Temple, the Bodhisattva will know that Senior Brother Fahai is coming."

Shen Lang suddenly said: "So that's the case."

At this time, the elder sister moved her lips and cast a spell to transmit sound:
"Junior Brother Shen, why does the little nun call you Fahai? Are you going to be a monk?"

Shen Lang hurriedly explained via voice transmission:

"No. Fa Hai is just an identity I used to pretend to solve the case. I didn't expect to meet Venerable Liuli by coincidence. She has been calling me Fa Hai ever since."

Only then did the elder sister nod in satisfaction, and then said via voice transmission:
"You can't be a monk. Although monks also have a temple for descendants, it is inconvenient after all. As a disciple of the head of Wanfamen, I will not go to the monk's temple to continue your blood. You have a big bald head and go in cassock. It is not appropriate for Wanfamen to look for me, if people see it, they will think that I am corrupting the monk's practice."

The corner of Shen Lang's mouth twitched slightly, "Elder Sister, don't worry, I will never become a monk."

The elder sister nodded happily: "Well, it's fine not to be a monk."

While speaking, the two of them followed the little nun to the small temple where Shen Lang had been.

The little nun stopped and stretched out her hand towards the open temple door:
"The poor nun sent the two of you here. The Bodhisattva said that there is no need to notify the two benefactors after they arrive, just go in."

Shen Lang thanked the little nun, stepped over the threshold with the elder sister, entered the temple gate, and came to the main hall, where he saw the Venerable Liuli in white clothes and long hair like a waterfall, sitting on the lotus platform Under the appearance of the eight-armed Bodhisattva, he looked at them with a smile.

Shen Lang and Qin Qing hurried forward and bowed in salute:

"Meet Your Honor."

"They are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite."

Fa Liuli smiled sweetly, her voice was as usual, ethereal and pure, like the sounds of nature.

She looked at Qin Qing, smiled and said:

"Why is girl Qing coming to see me when she is free? She even came together with little Fahai. Did your master ask you to come?"

She and Wanfa Daoist are best friends, so naturally they are very familiar with the seven disciples of Wanfamen.

Qin Qingdao: "Master didn't ask me to come here, I accompanied Junior Brother Shen to visit Senior. Junior Brother Shen, please Senior for help."

Shen Lang took a step forward and saluted:

"My lord, this disciple has encountered an unsolved case, and I want to ask my lord to help."

He gave a general account of the four-winged eagle owl, and said:

"The disciple wants to find out the villain who feeds demons and cannibals and bring him to justice, but he has no clue, so he can only ask the venerable for help."

Venerable Liuli frowned slightly, and nodded slowly:

"Since it is a monster that harms people, it is not a purely secular matter. You should show me the remains of the victims."

Shen Lang took out the Tuoying crystal and activated it with his spiritual power. The crystal shot out a beam of crystal light, and a light curtain unfolded in front of Venerable Liuli. Inside the light curtain were the images of the two young men and women whose internal organs had been emptied.

Venerable Liuli made seals with both hands, staring at the image, with light and shadow flickering in his pupils, and within a moment, he had already calculated the identities of the two victims:
"The man's name is Cheng Xin, and the woman's name is Guan Yue. They are a pair of brothers and sisters from the same school. They are from the Wind Chaser School in Wuyang Prefecture. Before they were killed, they last appeared in Tongshan County, Wuyang Prefecture..."

After all, the two victims had nothing to do with Venerable Liuli. Even her cultivation could only be counted here based on her appearance alone.

As for where and by whom they were murdered, Venerable Liuli couldn't figure it out.

But knowing this is already very useful to Shen Lang, so I pay her a tithe now:
"Thank you, Venerable. With this clue, the disciple is no longer blinded, and knows where to go to investigate. The mundane matter is over, and the disciple dare not disturb the Venerable's practice anymore, so I will leave."

"Wait." Fa Liuli called Shen Lang to stop, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will leave you as a monk?"

Shen Lang laughed dryly:

"Well, the case is urgent. This disciple wants to investigate the clues earlier, lest someone destroy the clues and cause His Holiness to make calculations in vain."

Fa Liuli chuckled lightly:
"I'm not in a hurry. Last time I left the Black Lotus Devil's Nest, it's been a while since I saw you. Let me ask you, did you read the scriptures I gave you earlier?"

Of course I read it and realized it!Learned several practical spells!

It's just that Shen Lang only learned spells, and didn't understand a single word of other Buddhism and Zen principles.

But this is too embarrassing to say it directly, Shen Lang can only be vague:

"Although the disciple is busy with business, but the venerable taught, I dare not or forget that Buddhist scripture, the disciple will spare time to read it every day."

Fa Liuli blinked her eyelashes, put her elbows on her knees, rested her cheeks on her bare hands, and tilted her head, looking like a curious girl:
"Oh? Do you really watch it every day?"

Shen Lang nodded: "I really watch it every day."

"Then tell me, what insights have you seen, and what Zen principles have you realized?"

"This one……"

Shen Lang faltered for a while, and made a look of shame:
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm not connected with the world, my six sense organs are not clean, I really can't understand the truth..."

In fact, if you really want to talk about Zen theory, he can still say a few famous verses.

But if he said this, then his status as a "natural born Buddha" might be completely confirmed, and Fa Liuli might try to get him into Buddhism.

But the elder sister said that even if he is the abbot of the descendants temple, he can't do it, let alone go to Wanfamen with a big bald head, so Shen Lang thinks it's better to hide his clumsiness.

"Didn't you realize the truth?"

How could Fa Liuli be so easy to be fooled? She looked at Shen Lang with a half-smile, her beautiful eyes seemed to contain two rounds of bright moon, and she seemed to have the magic power to understand people's hearts:
"It doesn't matter if you don't realize the truth. It's just that you often read the Buddhist scriptures I gave you, so just recite a passage for me. It doesn't matter which page or paragraph it is, just pick the one you are most familiar with. back to me."

"..."

Shen Lang blinked:
"My lord, this disciple is busy with work, so I have to investigate the case quickly, you see..."

Fa Liuli sighed faintly, lowered her eyelids, a look of sadness appeared on her ethereal and pure pretty face:
"When you need me, you rush to ask me for help, and respectfully respect each venerable. When you run out of me, you don't even have the patience to memorize scriptures. You people in the Gongmen are indeed ruthless and ruthless. "

Although she knew she was acting, Dazhen can interfere with matter with pure spirit. No matter how exaggerated her acting skills are, she still has the magic power to infect people's hearts.

At this moment, seeing Fa Liuli's dejected look, Shen Lang couldn't help trembling slightly, and suddenly had a thought that no matter what, he couldn't let her down.

At that moment, the ghost opened his mouth and recited a verse:
"The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror stand. Wipe it diligently at all times, so as not to stir up dust. Your lord, this is the disciple's understanding."

Hearing him recite this gatha, the gloomy look on Venerable Liuli's pretty face was swept away, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a touching smile appeared, and the ethereal and pure eyes were full of halo, without blinking Looking at Shen Lang carefully, Yan Ran said:

"You have not read a single page of the Buddhist scriptures, but you can have this feeling. You are indeed a born Buddha. I said, in the spider mother's nightmare, you said, 'Everything that has appearance is false. If you see Phases are not phases, you will see the Tathagata', you can even have this kind of insight, and even once used it to break the illusion of the spider mother, how can you not have other insights?"

"..."

Only then did Shen Lang come back to his senses, he was speechless for a long time, and then he said with a depressed face:

"Honorable One, you are a majestic Daoist, how could you use such means to deceive me?"

Fa Liuli was not ashamed, just smiled and said:

"If you don't lie to you, don't you still want to hide it and refuse to tell me half of the truth? Don't you want to keep those four verses in your heart all the time?"

Shen Lang said seriously:
"My lord, I haven't read a single line of Buddhist scriptures, so how can I have such insights? To be honest, I copied those four verses and 'everything has a picture'."

"Oh? Who copied it?"

"Those four lines of gatha were copied..."

Shen Lang originally wanted to say that he copied a monk named "Shenxiu", but he immediately remembered that he might just open his mouth to others. Anyway, there are so many people, where can he find that Zen master Shenxiu for verification?

But it doesn't work against Fa Liuli!

There are verses and dharma names, and people can calculate the truth based on this information. How can there be any outstanding monks in the world?

At that moment Shen Lang changed his words and said:
"It's a wild monk who doesn't know the name of the Dharma. When I was young, I met such a wild monk in the mountains. I heard him recite some words there, and what he recited was four lines of gatha, so I wrote it down."

"is it?"

The corners of Fa Liuli's lips raised slightly, dimples appeared, and she showed that half-smile expression, which seemed to be able to read people's hearts:
"But why did I use those four lines of verse as a quotation, and use the 'fate understanding' to calculate, but I came to the conclusion that...you are the first person in this world to read these four lines of verse? You have something to say', and you were the first to say it."

"..."

Now Shen Lang really has nothing to say.

In this world, there are no such four lines of gatha, and there is no such sentence as "everything that has appearance is illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata".

Since he recited them in this world, no matter who the original author of the earth is, in this world, he, Shen Lang, is the first person in this world to recite these verses.

Can he still say, buddy is a time traveler, I am not the original author of the verse, I am just a porter of earth culture?
Seeing Shen Lang tongue-tied and speechless, Fa Liuli couldn't help but chuckle:
"Okay, I don't want to blame you. Since you have the wisdom root and Buddha nature, I am too happy, so how can I blame you? It's still the same sentence, I, Liuli Temple, open the door of convenience for you. As long as you You can come whenever you want. Maybe one day, I can personally shave you."

Hearing what she said, the elder sister who had been silent for a while, finally couldn't help but said:

"Senior Liuli, it's impossible for you to shave him yourself."

Fa Liuli raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Oh? Why did girl Qing say that?"

The big sister has a serious face:

"Junior Brother Shen has already made an appointment with me, and he will cooperate with me to continue the bloodline in the future. Although there is a descendant temple in Buddhism, I don't like big bald heads. So Junior Brother Shen promised me that he will not be a monk."

"..."

The corners of Shen Lang's eyes twitched twice, and he shouted in his heart:
Eldest sister, is it really okay for you to say such things to a Buddhist master in a quiet place in this Buddhist sect?
However, Fa Liuli, as the best friend of Master Wanfa, is very familiar with the seven disciples of Master Wanfa, and has long been familiar with Qin Qing's strange thoughts and words.

Hearing Qin Qing's words at this time, he just smiled and said:

"I didn't say that I would be a villain who beats mandarin ducks with a stick, nor did I say that I would cross the little Fahai to enter the Buddhist gate now. When your affairs are settled and the little Fahai has no worries, you can enter my Buddhist gate again. "

Shen Lang rolled his eyes in his heart: Venerable Liuli, it seems that you are not a serious person either!

Qin Qing thought for a while and said:

"Mr. Shen's Buddha nature and wisdom root are really so good?"

Fa Liuli smiled and nodded:
"Everything that has appearances is false. If you see appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata... Your body is a bodhi tree, and your heart is a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently, so as not to make it look like dust... Qing girl, you also know a little about Buddhist scriptures, Can't you tell, what is the nature of little Fa Hai? He is a born Buddha."

Qin Qing pondered for a while, and said to Shen Lang:
"In this case, I think Senior Liuli's proposal is acceptable. If you are really more talented in Buddhism, it is best to practice Buddhism, and you have the hope of becoming a Buddha and transcending yourself in the future."

She is purely thinking about Shen Lang's future, she even thinks further, Shen Lang through voice transmission:
"Buddhism is the most flexible. Put down the butcher's knife, and you can become a Buddha immediately. Pick up the butcher's knife, and you can become a demon with a single thought. Brother, you will borrow the power of Buddhism in the future, and after you become a Buddha and transcend yourself, you can also return to vulgarity at any time, and we can continue to cooperate."

Shen Lang was also shocked by the strange idea of ​​the elder sister. He really didn't know how to say it, so he only complained in his heart:
Senior sister, you should have said this to me quietly after you go back.

Now in front of a first-rank Daoist, or a Buddhist Daoist who has cultivated "Heavenly Ears", what is the difference between that and a loud conspiracy?
Sure enough, Qin Qing's voice transmission had no secrecy at all, Venerable Liuli heard it clearly, and immediately glanced at Qin Qing, and said softly:
"Girl Qing, I heard all your whispers!"

"Ah?" Qin Qing was stunned, but still insisted on the principle:
"Since Senior Liuli heard it, this junior will not hide it anymore. Junior Brother Shen doesn't just have an appointment with me, he also has an appointment with Mu Qingxue to cooperate.

"Mu Qingxue was promoted to the second rank today, and there is hope for the first rank in the future, and transcendence is also possible. I had an adventure a few days ago, and I also have the hope of transcendence. Then everyone will be transcendent in the future, and I will not let Junior Brother Shen remain a monk.

"Since he has the roots of Buddha-nature and wisdom, and the Dharma is very useful to him, it's fine to do it for a while. After becoming a Buddha and transcending, Junior Brother Shen must return to the world."

"..."

Shen Lang stared at Senior Sister dumbfounded, and said to Senior Sister, you are really audacious, to say such things openly, you are almost saying that we are going to use Buddhism.

You are sure that Venerable Liuli has an unusual relationship with Master, so you won't be angry because of it?
Then again, how did you know that I have an appointment with Mu Qingxue?

Also, hearing your tone, why don't you mind at all?
Don't you just apply the same set of conclusions you drew from observing animals and monsters to humans?
Shen Lang was full of trouble in his heart, and Fa Liuli was also slightly stunned by Qin Qing's outspokenness. He was speechless for a while, and then shook his head helplessly:

"You girl, you're still like this... Well, it's strange."

Qin Qing has a serious face:
"Senior Liuli, the disciple is not surprising, the disciple just has a keen eye and is good at understanding the essence."

Keen eyesight?

Fa Liuli glanced at Qin Qing's habitually squinting fox eyes strangely, and said to himself that you can't see faces clearly from five feet away without the blessing of the spell of improving eyesight, how dare you boast about your eyes Keen?

However, as an elder, she is not easy to care about with girlfriends and disciples, so she just looked at Shen Lang with a smile:
"Little Fahai, I didn't expect you to carry so many debts of love."

Shen Lang smiled awkwardly:
"Well, disciple... Well, even if I become a monk, I'm afraid I'm still a monk who spends money, wine, sex and wealth... I'm ashamed of my love for the venerable."

Fa Liuli blinked her long eyelashes, and smiled playfully like a girl:
"Buddha is the one who is enlightened. Enlightenment is complete, and you can see through all the appearances of the world and get wisdom and truth. Buddha actually has no taboos.

"As for us ordinary Buddhist practitioners, the reason why we have to abide by all kinds of clear rules and precepts is just because we are in the world of mortals, with mortal bodies, born with weak will, limited wisdom, and impure six sense organs. If you spend time, you will be blinded by the desires of the world of mortals, blinding your true spirit, and finally indulge in the sea of ​​desires in the world of mortals, unable to escape from the other side.

"If you want to transcend the sea of ​​suffering in the world of mortals, you have to be like you said, the body is a bodhi tree, the heart is a mirror stand, and you must wipe it frequently so as not to stir up dust. Observing the precepts is a way of 'wiping'.

"Little Fahai, you don't want to keep the precepts. If you don't keep the precepts, you just don't. If you want to be drunk, lustful and rich, you can do nothing. It's up to you. But in the future, if you are wise, enlightened, and your body and mind are clear, you can see all the truth and understand everything. appearance, no matter where you are, you are already a 'Buddha'."

Fa Liuli's reasoning, to Shen Lang, is purely playing the piano with the cow.

He came to a conclusion:
Oh, Venerable Liuli has appointed me as a "natural born Buddha child" to refrain from drinking, sex, wealth, and everything. Anyway, in the future, I will be awesome, then I will be a Buddha.Whoever dares to say that I am not, I will beat him until he says yes.

At that moment, Shen Lang showed an expression of enlightenment, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to Fa Liuli:
"Thank you for the teachings of the seniors, the juniors have figured out a lot of truths."

Fa Liuli smiled sweetly:
"So good."

Shen Lang said: "It's getting late, I should go back. If I have free time in the future, I should come to the Buddhist monastery often to listen to the teachings of the Venerable."

Fa Liuli smiled and nodded:
"Okay. If you come to Liuli Temple in the future, you can come to me directly without notification."

"Yes. By the way, my disciple once had an adventure and got some Ichthyosaurus seedlings. Now it has grown into a young tree. I have given one to Wanfa Daoist as a thank you for her care for me. The Venerable also has a lot of love for me. Take care of, teach, this little tree is a little thought from the disciples, please don't refuse it, my lord."

With that said, Shen Lang took out a small Ichthyosaurum tree planted in a clay pot, and placed it in front of Venerable Liuli.

Fa Liuli smiled happily:
"Okay, I'll take it."

At that moment, Shen Lang and Qin Qing paid a tithe to Venerable Liuli again, and then they quit.

After leaving the Liuli Temple, walking in the bamboo forest path, the elder sister pondered for a while, and asked Shen Lang:
"How many times have you met Venerable Liuli?"

"Three times." Shen Lang said without hesitation: "Before coming to the capital, I met her once in Luling Mansion. After coming to the capital, Master Yan and Master Wanfa brought me to Liuli Temple to visit her once. The reporter joined forces with Lord Yan and Master Wanfa to reinforce her, and saw her again. Counting this time, it was the fourth time."

The master sister asked:
"Then do you feel that Venerable Liuli is different from the previous meeting?"

"Different?"

Shen Lang recalled for a while, and felt that the Venerable Liuli he saw this time was no different from the previous three times.

They are all so ethereal and pure and beautiful, just like the goddess of the moon, they all have the same black hair like waterfalls, white clothes like snow, the same perfect body curves, and the same light moon halo luster on their skin, without any change at all.

So he shook his head:

"I don't feel any difference."

The elder sister said quietly:

"You just feel that her beauty and figure are the same as before?"

"..."

Shen Lang was speechless, feeling that although the senior sister had bad eyesight, her intuition was sometimes frighteningly sharp - so she knew that he had an appointment with Mu Qingxue, and it was also out of intuition?

Is this the unique insight of Master Wanfamen, who "learns from nature"?
When I was embarrassed, I heard the elder sister leisurely say:

"Venerable Liuli's beauty and figure are indeed flawless, like a goddess descending to earth. You are attracted by her beauty, and you didn't notice anything else, so it's not surprising."

"Uh... Senior sister, don't think too much, I only think that Venerable Liuli is from a senior."

"She is of the Fazi generation, and you are also of the Fazi generation, and you are of the same generation."

"...It's been said that I got the name Fa Hai blindly."

"But senior Liuli also called you little Fahai."

"She was kidding me."

"Oh, you, what are you panicking about? I didn't say anything wrong with you. Venerable Liuli is so outstanding. It's normal for you to covet her and even want to cooperate with her to continue the bloodline. It's just that Venerable Liuli and I'm different from Mu Qingxue. It's okay to be a Buddhist cultivator, but the key point is that she is still a first-rank Daoist. If you want to conquer her, your strength is too weak."

"..."

"In nature, only the strongest beast king can conquer the most beautiful and strongest female in the group. If you want to conquer Senior Liuli, you must have at least one level of cultivation. Before that, don't waste your energy and think about it. "

"Senior sister, you misunderstood..."

"Okay, I'm not going to tell you this. What I mean is that Venerable Liuli today is different from the senior Liuli I saw before. She seems a little..."

The elder sister frowned and pondered for a while, then carefully worded:
"Too lively. Senior Liuli is a very good person, with a soft, sweet voice, and a soft temper. Sometimes people even think that she is easy to bully. But... no matter how gentle and amiable she is, she She has never shown such a girlish attitude in front of us juniors..."

She tilted her head to look at Shen Lang, imitating Fa Liuli's appearance just now, propping her cheek with one hand, tilting her head, blinking her long eyelashes, and smiling playfully:
"It's such a posture...it's never been seen before. Senior Liuli can indeed stay young forever, keep the girlish appearance like this forever, and won't age until the end of her life. Showing this kind of girlish attitude in front of me, I have never done this before in front of me and my junior sisters, how can it be like this today?"

Hearing what she said, Shen Lang couldn't help thinking about it for a while, and he really realized that the expression and posture of Venerable Liuli were slightly different from the previous three encounters.

It's fine to show her girlish demeanor that should only be shown in front of Wanfa Zhenren's best friend in front of him and Qin Qing, the two juniors, but the key is that she also played a small trick, using that kind of dejected The mood "confuses" Shen Lang, and he can't help but show off the Dharma.

With Venerable Liuli's self-cultivation and temperament, even if he wants to know whether he has gained enlightenment recently, he should not use such methods to confuse people's hearts.

Seeing Shen Lang's pensive look, the elder sister said again:
"Years ago, after Dawei Bodhisattva fell into the devil and escaped into the Yunding Demon Palace, in order to prevent him from breaking the seal, Senior Liuli and my master once sat in the Yunding Demon Palace... Maybe she was affected by the demon energy?

"I heard from my master that before Senior Liuli entered Yunding Demon Palace to sit in the town, he fought against Dawei Bodhisattva. He was restrained by Dawei Bodhisattva with the magical power taught by the Demon Buddha Black Lotus, and suffered some minor injuries. After that, the injury did not heal. Rush to the magic palace to sit in town...

"My master accompanied Senior Liuli to sit in the Demon Palace for more than a month. Even though he was in perfect condition when he went, he was quite tired when he came back. He was somewhat affected and needed to retreat to recuperate. Senior Liuli was injured. If he was affected by the demon energy, he might It will be more serious than my master."

Shen Lang nodded slowly:

"Maybe so. But since Master Wanfa sits with her, if there is something wrong with her, Master Wanfa should be able to see it, right?"

The elder sister spread her hands together:
"That's why I also find it strange. I feel that something is wrong with Senior Liuli, and you should also understand that something is wrong with her, but is my master aware of this?

"Or, there is nothing wrong with this. It's just that Senior Liuli's cultivation has improved and he has realized more truths. He has taken another step away from the Buddha's realm of 'no taboos'. That's why it is different from before. We just thought too much, misunderstood?"

Shen Lang pondered for a while, and said:

"Venerable Liuli is one of the pillars of the righteous way, and there is no room for mistakes. Regardless of whether we have misunderstood or not, we must report this matter to Master Wanfa and Master Yan as soon as possible."

At that moment, the eldest sister released the flying boat, boarded the flying boat with Shen Lang, and flew towards the capital.

In the Liuli Temple.

Venerable Liuli sat under the eight-armed Bodhisattva statue, with a slight smile on his lips:
"Two little guys, you are actually worried that I will be affected by the devil's energy. Heh, I am a first-rank Daoist who is the most good at defending in the world. Even if I am injured, I just sit on the seal and never go deep into the devil's palace. How could it be so easy? Affected by magic energy?"

Shaking her head, she closed her eyes, made a seal with her hands, and continued to meditate and visualize.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, her eight-armed bodhisattva is the primordial spirit of the Dharma, sitting barefoot on the lotus platform, with each of the eight arms forming a Dharma seal.

Under the lotus platform, the fire of karma burns forever, just like wrought iron or steelmaking, constantly burning her primordial spirit, making her primordial spirit more crystal clear, pure and flawless.

Venerable Liuli is so confident, and it is also because of her primordial spirit that she is different from others.

Under the lotus platform of Dharma, the fire of karma is constantly burning. Once bad karma is created, the fire of karma will skyrocket, and it will first eat back at one's own body.

but……

Even she herself overlooked one thing, that is, the fire of karma is fueled by "bad karma".

Not creating bad karma, and the fire of karma is normal, does not mean that everything is normal for her.

At least, in the past, she would never use "Tian Er Tong" to listen to the chat of two juniors from a distance, and take in all their conversations.

Venerable Liuli didn't notice this abnormality about himself.

On the other side, Shen Lang and the elder sister took the flying boat, and quickly returned to the God Catch Hall, and vertically landed in front of Mu Qingxue's closed building at a height of thousands of feet.

Yan Tianying was still guarding in front of the building with his hands behind his back. When he saw the two of them coming back, he asked:

"Ask the origin of the two victims?"

Shen Lang nodded:

"It's already been asked."

After he repeated the conclusion drawn by Venerable Liuli, Yan Tianying said:

"Since you discovered this case, Xiao Shen, you will follow up on the follow-up. You should go to Tongshan County, Wuyang Prefecture to investigate first, but the origin of those who dare to raise third-rank monsters like the four-winged demon owl is not simple. So wait for Xiao Shen Mu's retreat is over, and I will send her to help you."

Shen Lang said: "I should have set off immediately, so as not to be ruined by the demon hunters. But today, the senior sister and I found that Venerable Liuli is a little different from the past during the trip to the Liuli Temple. Senior sister, tell me."

The elder sister said seriously:

"Master Yan, you know, because of Master, Senior Liuli often goes to the gate of Wanfa Gate, so we sisters are very familiar with Senior Liuli and her temperament and habits, but today..."

State what she observed and felt wrong one by one, and finally said:

"I suspect that Senior Liuli may have been affected by the erosion of demonic energy due to injuries on his body when he was sitting in the Yunding Demon Palace years ago. It is also possible...It is the Bodhisattva Dawei who left a hidden wound on Senior Liuli. After all, Bodhisattva Dawei What is displayed is the supernatural power created by Demon Buddha Black Lotus to restrain Buddhist monks..."

Yan Tianying frowned and said:

"Xiao Qin, the look in your eyes... are you sure?"

He originally wanted to say that your eyesight is not good, maybe he saw it wrong, but if Qin Qing was only serious about the matter, it would be fine, but even Shen Lang looked serious and did not refute Qin Qing's words, which proves that the law cannot There might be something wrong with Liuli.

"I'm sure. Junior Brother Shen also feels that something is wrong with Senior Liuli."

Yan Tianying didn't dare to neglect this time.

Dawei Bodhisattva has fallen into the devil, Bailong and Qiankun have ulterior motives, Wulei Daoist seems to have secretly made a covenant with Bailong, and among the six Dazhengs, only Venerable Liuli is left as the pillar of righteousness that can be completely trusted.

If something happened to her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that moment, Yan Tianying said in a deep voice:
"Xiao Qin, hurry back to the mountain gate and ask your master to go to Liuli Temple to see the situation of Venerable Liuli."

Qin Qing responded, and said to Shen Lang:
"When I go back this time, Master will probably let me stay at the gate of the mountain. I promise you the alchemy furnace, and I will ask Master to bring it to you. As for when the celebration banquet for my promotion to the third rank will be held, it depends on Master's wishes. It will be decided later. On this day, I will send you an invitation again."

After finishing speaking, she stepped forward to hug Shen Lang lightly, regardless of Yan Tianying's presence, and kissed him directly on the mouth:

"Be more careful when investigating the case, safety first."

Shen Lang glanced at Yan Tianying with some guilty conscience, seeing him looking into the distance, as if he was looking at the scenery, he couldn't help secretly praising Master Yan as our good leader, he is knowledgeable, considerate and considerate of his subordinates.

Immediately, with lightning speed, he took a sip on the lips of the elder sister and said, "I will be careful."

After hugging gently for a while, the eldest sister left his embrace and went straight to the backyard of the Yamen of Shenchoutang.

Shen Lang coughed twice, and asked Yan Tianying: "Why doesn't Senior Sister leave by flying boat?"

Yan Tianying said indifferently: "The gate of Wanfamen is thousands of miles away, in the mountains in the southwest. There are teleportation formations in the yamen, which can directly reach the secret realm of Daoist Wanfa, and transfer through the secret realm to the gate of Wanfa Mountain."

Shen Lang was stunned, fortunately he always thought that Wanfamen Mountain Gate was near the capital, but he didn't expect it to be so far away from the capital.

At this time, Yan Tianying said to Shen Lang again:

"You can't help me, Xiao Shen, about Yipin Daoist. You can go to Tongshan County, Wuyang Prefecture to investigate the case. After Xiaomu leaves the customs, I will send her to look for you."

"This... alright!" Shen Lang cupped his hands at Yan Tianying: "Then I'm off now."

He glanced at Xiaolou again, turned and left.
