Without a heroic spirit, I can only end in person

Chapter 193
The old abbot killed Chen Xianglan's younger brother with his own hands, eliminating the "evidence".

Even if Chen Xianglan continued to entangle in this matter, it was only guesswork, not a threat at all.

Coupled with the recent incidents in Fushan Temple, he may not take risks and continue to attack the two.

However, there are no absolutes.

In order to prevent the old abbot from taking risks, and because Chen Xianglan had just received a wonderful method, she needed to practice again.

Jiang He simply invited the two to travel together.

After you have the power to protect yourself, consider dispersing your actions to find and rescue people who have encountered similar situations.

The Buddhist sect incident is appalling.

Even though Jiang He didn't tell the inside story of the demon stealing the Buddha's name, the two still had lingering fears, worrying that they would be ambushed and killed by the monks as soon as they went out.

Jiang He's invitation was exactly what they wanted, so they agreed decisively.

Painter Li was quite surprised when he saw that Master Gu had gone out for a long time and brought back the two heroines.

After being introduced to each other, they suddenly realized that they hurriedly saluted and called Chen Xianglan as a brother and sister.

Jiang He didn't interfere and let them go.

"I have decided to save Chen Xianglan, who deserves to die, and impart the method... This is no different from accepting disciples."

"If Chen Xianglan continues to teach the Dharma, over time, a huge hermit sect will even be extended!"

"It's okay now. If it really develops into such a huge organization, the structure must not be so loose."

"Name, philosophy..."

"Not only can it enhance a sense of belonging, it can also become people's beliefs, allowing them to gather under the same banner and fight for a common ideal."

The long time has given Jiang He a very long-term vision.

Just by saving Chen Xianglan alone, he foresaw the possibility of developing into a huge organization in the future, as well as the many difficulties that he would encounter in the future.

As the former leader of the rebel army and the god of the Sirius army, he does not lack corresponding experience.

The name and concept were quickly determined, just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

As for now.

Jiang He did not continue to stay in Fushan City, but bid farewell to the city officials and left the city with the three of them.

The Fushan city official was quite reluctant, but he also knew that Brother Gu could not live in the same city for a long time like him, so in regret, he wrote a poem as a farewell to his friend.

Seeing this situation, Gu Yuerong couldn't help but said.

"Actually, a few days ago, I heard that Mr. Gu painted paintings for the nobles in the city in exchange for a thousand gold rewards. I thought he was the kind of person who followed power and pursued fame and fortune. I didn't take it seriously..."

"It's normal to hear it."

Painter Li asked curiously.

"now what?"

"It's my narrow vision."

Gu Yuerong sighed in admiration.

"Not necessarily."

Looking up, he saw that Mr. Gu had already bid farewell to the magistrate and came on horseback with a smile on his face.

"If I'm really the one who chases fame and fortune."

"Master Gu was joking..."

Painter Li took Mr. Gu's words as joking and modesty.

Gu Yuerong, on the other hand, thought for a while and answered seriously.

"Even if Mr. Gu is really only for the so-called fame and fortune, what you have done in Fushan City can still be called a gentleman."

Mr. Gu smiled and rode away.

"gone!"

……

"Abbot, that painter Gu has already left Fushan City, and the city officials did not accompany him. After the farewell, he turned back to the mansion."

Fushan Temple, in front of the Buddha statue.

The old monk sat with his eyes closed and chanted sutras devoutly.

He didn't raise his eyelids until he finished reciting the scriptures.

"What about the two women?"

"Follow along."

Hearing this, the old monk closed his eyes again.

"Let them go."

Buddhism has been around for thousands of years, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

If you don't care about it, kill everyone who might be aware of it...

The movement may be bigger than leaving it alone.

Only those who are unknown and have little influence if killed, or those who really touch the bottom line of the Buddhist sect, will be exterminated.

Painter Gu and the others hadn't touched the bottom line yet, and it was too risky to do it, so they simply ignored it.

[You left Fukuyama City with the three of you, not only traveling the world, but also helping others. 】

【However, one year has passed, although you have occasionally rescued him, but you have not received disciples to teach the Dharma. 】

Jiang He and the others traveled all over the world, practicing exercises while secretly inquiring about Buddhist temples in various places.

It's a pity that the Buddhist temple itself is hidden, and their sources of information are relatively scarce, and their manpower is also slightly insufficient.

For a whole year, he didn't make a few shots.

Even if a few people are saved, they are just potential victims similar to those of the Kunzhou disaster victims, and there is no need to recruit people into the group.

Either after escaping from birth, he was afraid of the power of the Buddhist temple, and only wanted to go far away, without any plan to pursue it.

Jiang He could understand the feelings of these people, and did not force them into the group, but helped them leave.

They don't know much, and as long as they move to a farther place, they don't need to worry about persecution by Buddhist temples.

There was no increase in manpower, and Jiang He was not impatient at all.

Developing an organization does not happen overnight, and it is normal for people to be understaffed and progress to be slow.

Spirit beasts have a long lifespan, and he can afford to wait.

However, after this year's experience, Gu Yuerong and Chen Xianglan completely believed Jiang He's statement.

If it was only the encounter at Fushan Temple, it could also be explained that there was a problem with the abbot of Fushan Temple.

Then, specious incidents have occurred in Buddhist temples in different regions, and even in different states...

It has nothing to do with the abbot of Fukuyama Temple, right?
Perhaps it was just as Jiang He said.

With the Buddha long gone, the Buddhist sect, which has gone through endless years, finally experienced some unknown change, and it is no longer as majestic as it used to be.

There may be something more terrifying lurking behind it.

Gu Yuerong was even more frightened.

If it's just one monk and one temple, the Gu family can still solve it.

Now that the entire Buddhist sect is involved, the Gu family is as insignificant as ants in front of such a behemoth.

If the other party gets angry even a little bit, the entire Gu family will suffer catastrophe!

Realizing that she almost brought the entire Gu family into the abyss, Gu Yuerong couldn't sleep for several months.

So in the middle of the night, he knocked on Jiang He's door.

Jiang He was still wondering why she came, but unexpectedly, she spoke surprisingly.

"Mr. Gu, I want to die."

"?"

Sensing that the words were somewhat ambiguous, Gu Yuerong calmed down.

It's just that she hasn't waited for her to rearrange the language.

Jiang He already understood what she meant.

"Get away with feigning death, so as not to implicate the family?"

"This is also possible, but if Miss Gu is worried about implicating the family, she can go home directly and don't have to go with me anymore."

"The matter of Fushan Temple is over, you just need to forget about the matter here, and don't get involved in it anymore."

When Gu Yuerong heard the words, she shook her head without thinking.

"I already know this, how can I turn a blind eye?"

"However, the Buddha sect is powerful, so instead of letting everyone in the family bear the price for my choice, it's better to feign death and escape, so that I can completely let go."

"Even if I make any omissions, I don't have to worry about implicating the family."

Looking at the determined woman in front of him, Jiang He felt relieved.

The girl who cried on her back then has now become a truly reliable adult.

[Gu Yuerong visits late at night and wants to feign death to escape. 】

[You have a long-term vision and know that this is not just one person's business. 】

[If we save people and spread the Fa in the future, and develop and grow, we will encounter similar problems frequently, and this decision will become an example for emulation. 】

【You decide……】

【A: Get away with feigning death, B: Put it on hold for now, C: Go against the grain, D: Intervene personally. 】

Jiang He's fingers lightly brushed over the words.

What comes to mind is not the memory that just flowed in.

It was scenes from the end of the past year.

A righteous man chose to believe in himself, pretended to die, and escaped from the family.

They put on masks and became what others call demon refiners, shouldering the darkness of this world together with themselves, and dying without regret.

"Fake death to escape..."

"It would be great if there was such a choice back then."

Jiang He sighed and dropped his fingers.

【go the other way】

Back then, Yuanmo dominated the world and occupied all the right to speak.

Once the demon refiners reveal their identities, they will be executed everywhere, implicating the nine clans.

That is the road that has to be taken, and it is also a dark road.

Things are very different today.

Although Buddhism is large, it is not the only one in the world, and rules must be followed on the surface.

The method he passed down is no longer an inexplicable "demonic work".

Therefore, there is room for choice.

"I hope you can walk under the sun, be admired by the world, and become the true heroes that are passed on by word of mouth."

This was Jiang He's final decision.

It is also an option today.

……

"It doesn't have to be."

The gentleman said calmly, the voice fell in Gu Yuerong's ears, but it seemed a little sad.

She looked at her husband's face, but saw that his eyes were sad, as if he remembered something.

With a sigh, the gentleman spoke.

"Even if you give up your identity, get away with feigning death, and let go of your hands and feet, you are still nothing in front of the Buddhist sect, and the things you can do are extremely limited."

"Correspondingly, this means that the Buddhist sect has also let go of its hands and feet. Once you touch the bottom line, they can chase and kill you wantonly, and even call on the imperial court and all sects to chase and kill you together."

"It's just a waste of life."

"If you don't touch the bottom line, just save people...then why do you need to fake death?"

"As long as you don't touch the bottom line, what you are facing is a Buddhist temple after all."

"In this case, family, prestige, background, these foreign things will instead become your help, so that the Buddhist temple has to consider the impact, and even sit back and watch you kill the evil monk and save people from leaving."

"Just like we did recently."

"If you are still worried about implicating the family..."

"Then improve your strength and reputation."

"A fledgling heroine, even if the Buddhist temple takes risks, she will do it."

"However, for a well-known hero, the Buddhist temple will consider strength and influence and restrain itself."

"If you become a world-renowned powerful monk and meet many like-minded friends, even if the Buddhist sect wants to move you, you have to weigh three points."

Not only did he not feign death to get away, he kept his name incognito.

Instead, rely on the power of the family and become famous all over the world?
My husband's suggestion is completely opposite to my own idea, but it is more effective!

It seemed that the sky had lifted the fog, and the gloom covering Gu Yuerong's heart quickly dissipated.

She finally understood the path ahead, and also figured out why her husband would laugh at himself for chasing fame and fortune a long time ago.

"From now on, I am also a person who chases fame and fortune!"
