The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 271: The Return of Liuli after Eradicating the Gu ([-] words, please subscribe monthly)
After a stick of incense.

"Gurgling!" With a sound, Ji Ping'an used his blood-stained hands to "pull out" a silver Gu worm from Xue Ji's lower abdomen.

The Gu insect tried to struggle, but was suppressed by the golden Gu's aura, allowing Ji Ping'an to manipulate it and pull away from the warm soft flesh.

Ji Ping'an squeezed the silver Gu worm into a puddle of mud with expressionless force, then breathed out gently, looked at Xue Ji on the bed, and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, you are free."

Similar words were said by the two in the past. However, after being apart for many years, their moods had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Xue Ji unscrewed the wound medicine prepared by Ji Ping'an, covered it on the wound on her lower abdomen, and then wrapped her waist with gauze. Her face was pale and dripping with sweat.

The black hair stuck to his cheeks, showing how painful it was just now.

She spat out the piece of cloth she was biting in her mouth with a "poof" sound, looked at him weakly but firmly, and said:

"This time, you are not allowed to drive me away."

Ji Ping'an felt as if he had been hit, and sighed in his heart, bad luck +1.

But as the saying goes, it's better to lead a sheep than to drive two sheep. Now he's in a bad situation with too many debts.

Hearing this, he took Xue Ji's hand, the two intertwined their fingers and said with a smile:

"You are now a member of my imperial prison, and it is not that easy to leave."

Xue Ji smiled sweetly, took a pillow, put it against her lower back, and said curiously:

"So, how come you were reborn and returned to your sect? Are you so lucky?"

Ji Pingan joked:

"You have returned to the Four Holy Sects, and you are so unlucky."

Xue Ji pretended to be angry:
"It's not your fault. I just wanted to get the jade pendant back..."

Ji Ping'an was busy begging for mercy and apologized without the grace of a national teacher.

Xue Ji looked at him in surprise. It was strange to say that the two of them had only spent a few days together in their past and present lives, but they ended up like this in a daze.

It's a dream.

Xue Ji even felt that it was a bit unreal, but as a lawless witch, she had far bolder ideas than women of this era.

At this time, they talked to each other for a long time, and she talked about the past, while Ji Pingan attributed his reborn identity to his previous predictions and arrangements.

Then the topic expanded, Xue Ji suddenly remembered something, and said:
"So, you were the one we were chasing that time in Sanhuang County?"

Ji Pingan nodded.

Xue Ji blinked:
"I later went to the cave where the Great Protector died, and saw a large statue of Taoist Master inside, with traces of battle underneath, but I didn't expect it to be you."

When Ji Ping'an heard the words "battle traces", he felt a little guilty and quickly changed the topic:

"By the way, how much do you know about the Four Holy Religions today?"

Xue Ji shook her head and said:

"The Four Holy Leaders are always wary of me and have not disclosed the core information at all. I only know that their headquarters can only be reached by setting up a specific magic circle and getting permission from the other party. I think there are also those reborn people in Lanzhou who are hiding in the world. I probably know the identity of the person."

She told everything she knew, and Ji Ping'an secretly wrote it down, and she actually met a few of them in her memory.

However, none of them were big figures in the past, and they were not worthy of attention. Only the "corpse witch" had a higher background, but unfortunately he also ran away.

Seeing him thinking deeply, Xue Ji suddenly moved her hips, leaned against him, and said:

"Next, what shall we do?"

Ji Pingan came back to his senses, thought for a while and said:

"Although the strength of the Four Holy Sects has been severely damaged this time, the foundation has not been touched. If it is still dangerous for you to go out, please come back to Yuhang City with me first. It is safe there. Now that the poison has been pulled out, you can resume your practice. I After that, I will give you some cultivation resources alone to improve your cultivation as soon as possible. However, considering that the people in Yuhang City are very discerning, you still need to..."

Xue Ji said "Yes", raised a finger to his lips, raised her cheek and looked at him:
"I understand that I will keep my distance from you externally and will not expose our relationship."

"..." Ji Ping'an suddenly felt ashamed, feeling that he was just a scumbag and the kind of person who kept things under control.

Xue Ji didn't think so.

After all, the status of the two is very different, and the identity of the "Grand Master of Zhou Dynasty" is too sensitive. Once exposed, she will be in great trouble, and she knows the severity.

As the two get closer, they can clearly detect each other's breathing, and the ambiguous atmosphere ferments.

Xue Ji hesitated, then boldly reached out to pull his belt.

Ji Ping'an hesitated: "Your abdominal injury is not healed yet..."

Xue Ji said: "Then I'll turn around."

Ji Pingan:? ?
Just at this moment, the Taoist scriptures in his clothes vibrated, interrupting the interaction. Ji Pingan took the opportunity to pull away, took out the Taoist scriptures and took a look. It was a message from Xin Yaoguang, asking him to go over and discuss something.

What does Xin Yaoguang want to do with me?
Ji Ping'an frowned, put away the Taoist scriptures, waved his hand towards Xue Ji, who had a resentful look in his eyes, explained the situation, and finally said:
"There are many people on the island, not to mention the Taoist leader Yang Shen is sitting on the island. It's very dangerous."

Xue Ji reluctantly accepted this explanation and then let him go.

……

……

Huh... the demon sect witch really eats people without spitting out bones... Ji Ping'an walked out of the wedding room, and after a blast of cold air, he calmed down, soothed his brother to sleep, and quickly left the yard.

After identifying the direction, he jumped up and stepped on the green smoke towards the headquarters of the Daze faction.

When we arrived, the courtyard was deserted. There were still fallen lanterns burning to ashes on the ground, leaving only a little embers.

Ji Pingan walked through the courtyard and finally stopped outside a house in the inner hall.

On the window paper, the shadow of a fairy sitting cross-legged was reflected.

"What's the matter with Headmaster Xin looking for this junior?" Ji Ping'an bowed across the door.

The next second, the door suddenly opened, and light poured out.

Ji Ping'an raised his eyes and saw that this was a meditation room, presumably left by the head of Daze.

The light of the waxed wooden floor is discernible. Xin Yao is dressed in feathers and a jade crown, sitting cross-legged and meditating. The light on her body is restrained, and her originally illusory body is much more solid.

The female Taoist opened her narrow red phoenix eyes and looked at the young star official. After a long time, her red lips opened slightly:

"Sit down and talk."

"Yes." Ji Ping'an was not polite and sat down cross-legged.

Immediately I heard Xin Yaoguang say:

"Later, I will return to Yuhang first. While the Dharmakaya is still there, I will take the original Gu insects back to Sanqing Temple to suppress them. Then you will inform the Holy Son and the Holy Girl and ask them to meet me after they return to Yuhang and take the exam. It will take a while to practice the results."

The Saint... Oh, it's that Yu Yu thing... Ji Ping'an jumped repeatedly between the two Saints, subconsciously froze for a moment, and said with a smile:

"As it should be."

Xin Yaoguang's voice was illusory, still full of fairy spirit that could not eat the fireworks of the world:

"Afterwards, if I don't take action, my Dharma Body will last for a while and will temporarily stay in Sanqing Temple. What are your plans next?"

Ji Ping'an's heart moved, he tasted a different taste, and said:

"If things happen here, I will definitely go back to Yuhang first. If the master has anything to say, it's better to say it clearly."

Xin Yaoguang was also polite, and said lightly:
"A few days ago, the matter at the Yunlin Temple has not yet been settled. Lanzhou is adjacent to Wanzhou and is only separated from the Southern Tang Dynasty by a mountain. Counting the days, the Southern Tang Buddhist Sect has received the news. If they respond in time, they will send people to Yuhang. These days."

Fomen...

Ji Ping'an felt a little sad and smiled without surprise:

"Master Yihong died suddenly. The Southern Tang Buddhism will definitely be alarmed, and people will definitely be sent to find out the death and arrange a new abbot. What does the headmaster mean, that they will cause trouble for me and Yu Yu?"

Xin Yaoguang looked indifferent:
"According to what you said that day, in the final analysis, this matter was caused by monk Yihong's inner demons and a scandal in the Buddhist family. But what is the truth? There is no proof, which is a troublesome matter. Of course, the most important thing is not this, but two points. , First of all, you broke into the mountain gate that day, which shook the reputation of Buddhism in the Zen monastery for many years, causing Buddhism to be questioned by the people. This is unacceptable to the other side, and they will definitely find ways to regain their face."

Ji Ping'an nodded and expressed his understanding. The matter of forcing his way into the Zen monastery could be big or small, it all depends on how the other party views it.

To put it in a small way, it is nothing more than a misunderstanding by the disciples, but to say it in a big way, it is okay to say that the majesty of the Southern Tang Dynasty was damaged.

Xin Yaoguang continued:

"Secondly, there has always been friction between Taoism and Buddhism, which has never ceased. Nowadays, the situation is changing, and you also know that big changes may occur in the near future, and Buddhism will definitely respond."

Ji Ping'an pondered for a moment and said:
"For example, use this matter as an excuse to launch an attack? Try to take the initiative to provoke some conflicts? As we all know, the Southern Tang Dynasty is not as vast as the Great Zhou Dynasty, occupying only two states in the south. Buddhism always wants to go north, but it is hindered by the practice world There has been peace for a long time and lack of opportunities, but now that all parties are in turmoil, it is a good time. Moreover, deliberately increasing the sense of presence can also gather more reborn people to join us, getting the best of both worlds."

Xin Yaoguang's flawless face showed a little surprise, as if he was surprised by the little star officer's keenness in judging the situation.

She nodded gently and sighed:
"That's true. People who have been reborn have spread all over the past thousand years. Excluding a few like me, Master Huayang, most people don't care about their position. So all parties are snatching it, but many are still hiding among the people, waiting for opportunities to choose sides. , at this time, if both Taoism and Buddhism can show their true potential, they can also attract the scattered reborn people to join them."

Ji Ping'an understood.In short, the situation has reached a new version.

After all parties secretly searched for the reborn people and fought openly and openly, it was finally time to flex their muscles and attract the reborn people to take the initiative to join them.

Therefore, it is very likely that Buddhism will seize the matter of Master Yihong and make a big deal out of it.

This is also the reason why Xin Yaoguang left a Dharma body in Yuhang for a short time.

At the same time, Ji Ping'an suspected that Xin Yaoguang was not completely resistant to Buddhism's provocation, but was deliberately trying.

Of course, this kind of thing must be limited to a certain scale, and it is impossible to develop into a full-scale conflict. Her existence is to make Buddhism restrain itself and limit the conflict within a reasonable range.

As the "fuse", Ji Ping'an and Yu Yu were inevitably affected.

"I know, but I'm just a seventh-level monk. If the sky falls, it won't be my turn." Ji Ping'an said jokingly.

Xin Yaoguang saw that he was calm and not afraid, and his impression of him became better.

Then I thought of Yu Yu and Shengzi... Suddenly I felt a little discouraged. I didn't understand why the disciples I personally trained were not as good as the students who had only been taught for two or three years by the Imperial Master before his death.

Quiet briefly.

Ji Ping'an suddenly took the initiative and said:

"By the way, speaking of Buddhism, I would like to ask my master, is there anything worth paying attention to in recent years regarding the Buddha's manifestation?"

Xin Yaoguang glanced at him and said:
"You want to ask about Yihong's enlightenment from the Buddha from the state of Kongming Bodhisattva."

Last time, the two exchanged information on this matter.

Xin Yaoguang sighed softly:
"I have ordered people to investigate this matter, but the time is still short and there is no result yet. As for the Buddha's revelation... this has always been a legend that cannot be falsified in Buddhism. The Buddha's rebirth that you are worried about is too scary. "

Ji Pingan sighed:
"I just don't understand. Since the empty bodhisattva state was originally the spiritual realm of the sage Buddha, if a person dies completely, how can this bodhisattva state last forever?"

Xin Yaoguang patiently explained:
"Buddhism values ​​faith. According to what they say, it is the dedication of tens of thousands of believers and the convergence of their vows that make the Bodhisattva realm last forever. Therefore, that realm is also called 'Buddha Land' and 'Buddha Country'."

Ji Ping'an looked like he had learned something.

Xin Yaoguang said with emotion:

"Nowadays, there are countless inheritances in the world, but they are all tributaries. If they are gathered at the root, there are only three types: Taoism, Buddhism, and demons. And their founders correspond to the three ancient saints. They all have their own magic, which is the origin. It is difficult to get a glimpse of the truth even if you are sitting in the Divine Treasures. Perhaps only by reaching the legendary Red Dust Immortal can you see clearly the past, present and future."

Ji Pingan suddenly said:
"What about magic?"

Xin Yaoguang said naturally:

"The so-called Demonic Way is nothing more than a branch of 'Tao'. It naturally belongs to Tao Zun, but there are only few people who practice it. It is said that it was a branch created by the northern barbarians many years ago, but it was later abandoned because of its excessive disadvantages. He turned to practice the so-called 'witchcraft'."

Speaking of barbarians, the beautiful Taoist woman was a little disdainful.

In fact, this ethnic group has a low sense of existence, and it is located in a corner and has no climate.

When he was at his peak, he didn't create any big waves, and he was bullied miserably by the national master.

Their ethnic group also has another name, which is "demon people", which is somewhat similar to Gou Hanyi, but humans, as the absolute subject, are compatible with part of the demon blood.

As a result, the barbarians have few people, but their strength is amazing, and they mainly polish their bodies.

After conducting various studies on the cultivation methods of humans and monsters, they finally came up with something completely different and named it the so-called "Witch Power".

But except for a very small number of amazingly talented people, it is difficult to say that it is a complete inheritance.

Of course Ji Ping'an knew all this, he just wanted to check and fill in the gaps and hear about the recent research progress in the practice world.

Seeing that he had gained nothing, he hurriedly expressed that he had learned a lesson, which made Xin Yaoguang quite happy.

However, the female head coach at this moment does not know that the real rank of the "Xiao Bai" she teaches is much higher than her...

Ji Pingan stood up and said:
"In that case, this junior will take my leave."

Xin Yaoguang nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said casually:

"The Daze faction is extinct, and there seem to be some loaches in the Black Water Lake, what are you going to do with it?"

Ji Ping'an said "Oh", thought for a while, and said:

"The birth of spirit beasts is not easy. In the past, they were driven by the Daze Sect, but now they have no master, and they have not attacked us before, so let's wait and see the effect, or wait for the Beast Sect to deal with it. The Daze Sect is the sect of Lanzhou after all. .”

The last sentence means:

According to unwritten rules, each of the five major sects has jurisdiction over the practice circles in their respective states.

Although the state religion is the number one sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it still has to give some face to the Beast Control Sect, and the entire sect must be exterminated, so there must be something left.

But what Ji Pingan didn't say was that when he landed on the island that day, he recognized that the old dragon at the bottom of the water had shown signs of transformation.

It is said that they will turn into dragons when encountering wind and rain. It should be noted that it is very rare for demons to return to their ancestors and turn into dragons.

This dragon has been raised by the Daze Sect for hundreds of years, and at this time of great change in the world, if there is a real possibility of transforming into a dragon, it can be left to Xu Yuanyun.

As for whether the Mo Jiao might be a reborn monster... he thought it was unlikely. After all, it was not easy for the old Jiao to die when the stars returned to their positions.

Xin Yaoguang nodded lightly: "Yes."

She didn't take such a trivial matter seriously, she just asked casually, stood up immediately, her body turned into a golden light, and stood up from the ground.

It instantly penetrated the ridge of the roof, disappeared into the dark night, and ran towards Yuhang.

Ji Ping'an was left shaking his head, muttering something impatient, turning around and walking back to the wedding room.

……

……

On the same night, on the outskirts of Guqiantang City, at the foot of the mountain where Yunlin Temple is located, a group of uninvited guests ushered in.

Inside the Zen courtyard.

When the current temporary "abbot" Toutuo Dahuyuan woke up from his practice, he couldn't help but look at the Zhike monk who hurriedly knocked on the door of the Zen room and said displeasedly:
"What happened, so flustered?"

Ever since the death of Master Yihong, Daigouin has been in a bad mood.

The monk Zhike stood at the door, his expression uneasy and anxious. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said:
"Get up quickly, someone is coming at the foot of the mountain."

The guardian Tutuo frowned: "Who is that?"

The Zhike monk said: "People from the Southern Tang Buddhist Mission are here!"

What?
The burly Zhang Erdu Tuo, whose muscles were like cast brass, was shocked. He jumped up suddenly, instinctively grabbed the Zen staff and asked:
"When did you come? Why wasn't there any notice?"

After the death of Master Yihong, he quickly sent the news back to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

According to his calculations, when Buddhism received the news, even if the response was timely, it would take another two days to arrive. He didn't expect the Buddhism envoy to arrive so quickly.

It is enough to show that the importance attached to this matter is higher than he expected.

Zhike Monk made a sad face:
"Who knew? They came here suddenly. It's not like we didn't tell them in advance. We sent someone to tell them that the mission had just landed at a nearby pier. Let us prepare and they will arrive soon."

The tutuo guarding the courtyard cursed in his heart, but still quickly called for someone, and the whole Zen courtyard was filled with excitement.

When the monks in the temple gathered in a hurry and walked out of the temple gate, they saw a group of monks had arrived at the foot of the mountain and climbed up the steps. At first glance, there were 30 people.

Toutuo was startled and hurriedly led the crowd to greet him.

When he saw a monk at the head of the mission, he was even more shocked:
"Master Changmei, you are actually leading the team yourself?"

In front of the monks holding torches, a monk in his fifties with a well-proportioned figure, two extremely long eyebrows and drooping eyes clasped his hands together, showing no anger.

But he didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the two figures following behind him and said:
"Buddha son, Buddha daughter, look, this is Yunlin Zen Temple."

Buddha's son or daughter?

The monks in the monastery were shocked and looked over curiously.

I saw one of them wearing a bamboo hat, and the figure, who was obviously a woman, took off the bamboo hat.

With waterfall-like black hair and crystal-white skin, she was a young nun with outstanding appearance. Her eyes were slightly transparent, like glass.

The former Liuli Bodhisattva, whose dharma name was Jingjia, looked at Yunlin Temple indifferently, bit his lip, and thought:

I am back.

……

The formatting was changed first and then revised. In addition, in the previous chapter, Buddha was written as Lord Buddha, which has been corrected.In the setting, Buddha is the saint who founded the system, and Lord Buddha is the No. 1 contemporary Buddhist sect.
