Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1022 Dilemma (Thanks to Baili Tongyun for rewarding the Silver Alliance)

Fachang was suspicious at first, but then he saw Minghui smiling and said:

"The senior may not recognize me, but I can hear the senior's name. I was also present at the Dayangshan Dharma Assembly at that time, watching from the bottom of the steps... I recognized the senior!"

His words were undoubtedly a little unpleasant to hear. After all, Fachang was criticized for going to Dayang Mountain. Minghui said that she was watching from the audience, and she undoubtedly saw his miserable embarrassment clearly. But Fachang only sighed:
"I'm sorry to make Minghui laugh!"

Minghui smiled and said:

"Excuse me... Senior, you are too polite. This is not right! Senior came down the mountain and went down to the foot of the mountain without saying a word. The next one to go up was me. The master slapped me in the face and almost knocked my head off. The hit on my body hurt my master's heart!"

Fa Chang was speechless for a moment. Although he had a very good character, he was not stupid. He heard it clearly in his heart:
"The blow that hit you, Minghui, must have hit Jinlian's face."

Although Shanle's faction nominally obeys Dayangshan's orders, they are the most rebellious in private and dare not disobey openly, but they have done a lot of sneaky things. Unfortunately, Shanle is very stubborn, and unless he makes some fundamental mistakes, Dayangshan really has no way to deal with him. So slapping his disciple in the face is just an act of helpless venting.

As soon as Fachang heard his tone, he knew that Shan Ledao was still dissatisfied with Dayangshan, and this was exactly the kind of sneaky and cunning spirit he wanted!

But he couldn't speak casually. The masters of the Damu Dharma Realm had actively participated in the affairs of Dayang Mountain over the years. They wanted to use the influence of Dayang Mountain to restrain the Seven Phases and truly realize the vision of a paradise on earth. Not only did they have a lot to rely on Dayang Mountain, but they themselves were the inheritance of Dayang Mountain. They did not respond to him at the moment and remained silent.

Minghui glanced at him and realized that this stubborn monk still had some respect for Dayang Mountain. He raised his sleeves and said with a smile:

"Please come in and discuss in detail!"

'At least there is someone with a sane mind in Lotus Temple...'

Fa Chang stood here alone for a long time, feeling really embarrassed. He nodded quickly and took two steps forward. Seeing Jin Lian swaggering towards him, he couldn't restrain himself anymore. He turned around, clasped his hands, and said pleadingly:
"Great Master, please take the magic weapon!"

Jinlian glared and opened her mouth as if to curse, but Minghui took a step forward awkwardly, blocking their line of sight, and said with a smile:
"Please don't blame me, please don't blame me..."

As he spoke, he took out a golden robe from his sleeve, gently threw it over Jinlian, tied it in a knot at the chest to cover his thing, and said with a smile:

"please!"

Fachang's expression eased greatly. He walked past this place and went up the golden steps behind the main hall. Jinlian sneered:
"Fachang! You are just focusing on the superficial aspects! In my Taoist practice, people are like white bones and skulls. If you think further, it is nothing more than the Five Virtues and Twelve Qi, the Holy Teaching Liuli Guan. If you can't let go of a naked body, how can you let go of the common people?"

Fa Chang took a step forward, clasped his hands and said:
"It is because I cannot let go of the common people."

Jinlian smiled and said:

"If you can't let go, you can't pick it up. If you can't pick it up, you can't save it. If you can't let go of the common people, you have to take care of them, take care of them... In the end, everyone has to be the master of the common people... This one is the master, that one is the master, there is endless hatred between masters, how can there be any concern for the common people... Only those who can let go of the common people can spread the holy teachings, let the common people be responsible for themselves, the law is constant! Your inability to let go is what the cultivators don't like."

Maha, who was carefree and looked like a bandit or landlord, had a smile on his face. At that moment, his eyes brightened up a little, and had a bit more light, as well as the sacredness of the owner of Lotus Temple. Fachang turned his head away and did not respond to him.

Minghui did not practice the teachings, but he knew how worrying his own master was, and his heart was beating fast.

When Jinlian went to Dayang Mountain for the first time, she came down from Dayang Mountain and had just stepped half a foot back to Lianhua Temple when she started to speak nonsense. She called the [Damu Dharma Realm] the [Landlord Realm] and the [Dayu Dao] the [Small Rich Man Realm] - she was the heir of a big landlord's concubine, very awkward, and just waiting for the landlord to die.

[The Way of Emptiness] is a headless and brainless way, [The Way of Precepts] is a selfish and dumb way, as for anger giving birth to stupid donkeys, and compassion giving birth to bastards...they are [the rest of the evil ways that greatly confuse the people].

Minghui at that time hurriedly said:
"I am the only one who enjoys happiness, and I am very bright!"

But Jinlian only said:
"Bah! It is neither good nor joyful, it is the path of evil and suffering!"

With this previous experience, Minghui was really afraid that he would say something like "Landlord World" in front of Fachang, so she raised her eyebrows to smooth things over, pointed to a seat and asked someone to sit down, then immediately interrupted him and said with a smile:
"I don't know how the senior will arrange it!"

Fa Chang clasped his hands and replied:

"I want to borrow two Mahas, if that doesn't work, one will do...but I need more mercy, after all, the Lotus Temple is a prosperous place with abundant incense...there is no shortage of this place."

Minghui nodded and glanced at his master. Jinlian was also looking at him. The master and disciple looked at each other, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Going south... we must face the lake..."

This matter is very troublesome. Lotus Temple has suffered losses before. Minghui felt his heart beating fast and could not express it in words. Jinlian looked at Fachang solemnly and said quietly:

"The law is that I must go south."

Fachang frowned and replied:
"Excuse me, this is a good thing for Maha, and it will also be more helpful for you to cultivate your Dharma body...Fellow Daoist...what does this mean?"

Minghui's heart skipped a beat, but Jinlian remained calm and sneered:
"I don't need any help. I can do it myself, but if I get hurt, maybe all my previous efforts will be in vain. The Lotus Temple has not been involved in this matter for safety reasons..."

Fa Chang was even more confused and whispered:

"Of course I don't want to ask the Bodhisattva to help, but how come the Mahas of the noble path... or this Maha Minghui, are not tempted?"

Minghui cursed in her heart, but said sadly:
"I can't bear to see so many lives destroyed!"

"what?"

Fachang's words were stuck in his throat. He was about to speak but stopped. Suddenly he realized and answered:

"If you have any requests, just ask!"

The master and the disciple were silent together, while Fa Chang gritted his teeth and said:

"If two great Bodhisattvas are willing to go south for me and commit fewer murders, I will give the Dharma Realm's [Three Purple Auspicious Fruits] to you this time!"

Minghui frowned, but Jinlian beside him slapped the table, spread her legs, put her hands on her knees, and said with a smile:

"Great Master, it's great!"

"Then it's settled... I won't bother you any more!"

Fa Chang breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to look at him anymore, and quickly stood up, afraid that he would say more, so he didn't even want to say a word, stepped into the void, and disappeared.

For a moment, only the master and the disciple were left in the empty golden palace. Minghui wanted to say something but stopped herself. Then she saw Jinlian stand up, put away her smile, and looked cold:

"We can't postpone this matter. After all, it's a good thing. The dispute between the North and the South has already been postponed once. If we postpone it again, it will inevitably make people suspicious. We have to agree to it after raising the price."

The two had the same concerns. Minghui whispered:
"It's all my fault that I got Master into trouble!"

He had caused trouble in the past. Jinlian got into great trouble just by looking at his magic weapon. Not only was the [Immaculate Body of All Buddhas] that she had cultivated with great effort broken, but even her soul had problems, and it took her a full hundred years to recover... This indirectly affected the opportunities during the North-South dispute, and pushed his position of Maha Minghui to today... But the two of them did not hold any resentment in their hearts.

There is no other reason. That adult's method is too terrifying. Although Jinlian is not in the land of enlightenment, it is still under the eyes of the powerful... He dared to spy on her unscrupulously because a little bit of his true spirit was placed in the land of enlightenment, and he had the Dharma image behind him to guarantee it! Once he spy on her, any movement will definitely affect the Dharma image. If it is safe and sound, he can take it all for himself!

But it was clearly a little bit of true spirit that was residing in the land of enlightenment. It was so injured, but the cultivators didn't even notice it! Even Hongshan Mahaliangli saw Jinlian with his own eyes, and he just sighed for his failure in practicing Wuqi. And this power was just from seeing the broken arm of Minghui in the magic weapon!

"It's either the underworld or one of the other True Lords. If it's the underworld, they could just beat Minghui to ashes, or just like before, make sure no one can figure out anything... Why do this?"

Although the two did not know what Jinlian had experienced, or what methods the strange soul had, they immediately suspected a True Lord at the very beginning. Moreover, this True Lord clearly had methods but could not reveal them to the outside world!

Later, Li Mingyang appeared and Minghui reported it immediately. Without much thought, the two of them set their sights on the emperor and father, the Wei Emperor Li Qianyuan.

'It really fits...'

But after careful consideration, Jinlian realized something was wrong:
"How could Wu Tu, with such great power, have such a mistake? Since Li Qianyuan has the means, why did he just watch Luo Xia being harmed?"

Mingyang is a bright Taoist sect, and also a Taoist sect that strengthens the strong and weakens the weak. Everyone knows the situation of the Mingyang Taoist sect, which is rebellious to the extreme. If Li Qianyuan still has this ability, it means that he is in excellent condition. No one would dare to say a word if he came out and slapped the Dharmakaya twice. Why bother doing this?

Furthermore, no matter how powerful that person was, the Northern cultivators were in awe of Luoxia and were unwilling to believe that Luoxia had miscalculated. So the two of them placed their suspicion on the Douxuan Daoist lineage:

"He is a True Lord of Douxuan Sect... It is not convenient for him to show up now... Or he may have some plan. Since there is trouble in the north and south, maybe he wants to use us at this time!"

Jinlian didn't dare to say more, and only whispered:

"This is not the time to talk about this. I originally wanted to follow a bright path to the end, but my practice has had problems over the years. My soul is different and my practice has stagnated. I had no choice but to practice secretly by splitting my soul to cover up my injuries..."

"It's covered now, but it can't leave the land. It also needs a lot of [Soul-Listening Mulberry Wood], which can't help much. I'll ask your senior brother to go with you. He doesn't know much... You need to take care of everything... Don't make it look too fake..."

Minghui nodded desperately, feeling bitter in her heart:
"If I wasn't afraid of others' suspicion, I would never go south. Even if I did, if Li Zhouwei slapped me in the face, I would say thank you very much, and if he used his halberd to kill me... I would open my chest to receive it! Now... I can only watch the situation change..."

But before he could open his mouth, his face suddenly changed color, and he took out a bright jade talisman from his sleeve. The patterns on it kept changing, and then it shattered with a clang, turning into white sand and falling from his fingertips.

He raised his head with some fear, looked at Jinlian, and whispered:

"Yin Zhou...there's news!"

"Yinzhou?"

Jinlian Maha was stunned at first, then reacted almost instantly.

"I asked someone to do this for me... I have some information on how to trade with the Li family!"

The two monks stood up in shock, looked at each other, and at the same time, a tingling premonition rose in their hearts:

"Could it be that... that Lord... wants to use us at this time! "

……

East China Sea.

The wind and rain surged and the gale was strong.

The island was shining with golden light and Dharma light. One or two monks were flying up and down on the island, as if they were patrolling the island. The waves were roaring on both sides, and a man was seen halfway.

This man had an elegant temperament and looked like a scholar. He was wearing a simple white robe and had a good posture. He was flying eagerly in the air. The rolling rain hit his Dharma light, making it shine brightly.

It was Cui Jueyin.

This direct descendant of the Cui family has been back home for many years, and his cultivation has become more and more powerful. Perhaps he has practiced some secret techniques, and his eyes are bright and shining.

But his usually steady brows were now filled with anxiety. The light from his feet was getting faster and faster, and soon he landed in the sea with the wind. The water beneath his feet was dark and gloomy, as if countless dragons were swimming in the water.

Chongzhou Island could be seen from afar, and the island was full of Cui family monks standing by. Various altars and temples were set up for sacrifice, which looked extremely solemn. Before he landed on the island, a middle-aged man came up on the wind, with a bitter face, and sighed:
"Second brother!"

Cui Jueyin nodded silently and looked into the distance following his gaze. Clouds were rising in the sky, transforming into dim light merging with water, like waterfalls pouring down, interweaving and shining.

The middle-aged man whispered:
"Second brother...what should I do? You...you always have a way..."

After hearing what he said, Cui Jueyin sighed deeply.

Actually, what he said was not wrong. When Li Ximing came to the island, Cui Xianye was truly terrified. Although the disciple Cui Jueyin he gave to the island was not the most talented among all the disciples, he was the best at handling things on a daily basis. It was not out of loyalty, but simply because he was afraid that his disciple would be ignorant and offend Li Ximing, bringing disaster to the island.

Cui Jueyin had held important posts in Wangyue Lake for decades and was used to intrigues and deceptions. Compared with the Chongzhou people who lived in peace every day, he was more extraordinary. He shook his head slightly and replied:
"Juechen, since they are from the sea, what can we do? I am extremely terrified and will serve them well."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sea water beneath his feet surged up with a dull roar, and it rose up like a hill. Some huge monster emerged from the bottom of the water, splashing water.

A dark shadow instantly enveloped the entire island shore. Waves rolled up, and two dark lines appeared. It turned out to be a giant beast as big as a mountain, covered with scales.

The water reflected by the scales shone brightly, and the entire coast immediately became quiet, with the waves sparkling. Cui Jueyin silently made way for him, and Cui Juechen timidly took a step forward, bowed and said respectfully:
"I am Cui Juechen of the Cui clan of Chongzhou. I am honored to meet the envoy!"

The giant beast let out a long humming sound, which caused a burst of white foam. Then a casual scolding sound came from the beast's back, which was cold and arrogant:

"Who are you? Where is Cui Xianye?"

Cui Juechen immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could answer, the giant beast in front of him roared suddenly, and a black fish fell from the sky. It had a scaly wing under its ribs, and its huge fish eyes stared at him, looking very dissatisfied, and sneered:
"How dare you neglect the affairs of Jiao Palace! How dare you!"

This sentence was very overbearing, causing a commotion among the Cui family. They started to whisper to each other, and Cui Jueyin also frowned secretly:
"I heard that this guardian was very polite when he came a few years ago... When I went to Jiao Palace to report a few days ago, he closed the door and did not see me. Now I see that his attitude has indeed deteriorated a lot... Could it be that he thinks the bribe is not enough... and wants to raise the price..."

It was also the first time for him to see this sea patrol. He heard that he was transferred from the south. He was originally a little demon, but he didn't know why he was valued and rose to the top. Now he is particularly difficult to serve!
You have to know that the Cui family had offered spiritual objects to Dongfang You in the past, and they have always had a certain status under the dragon clan over the years. When several respected elders broke through and died, the Dragon Palace even sent people to...

But without the Purple Mansion, all the honors and favors are in vain, and will be worse day by day. The previous generation of sea patrol was already rude, and now this little demon who was transferred from some corner has been given the position of sea patrol and can boss the Cui family around!

"Kui Xunhai...Kui Xunhai misunderstood!"

Cui Juechen had been in trouble with him in the sea, and he was obviously uneasy. He trembled, bowed to the ground, and cried:

"My grandfather failed to achieve a breakthrough and died last year!"

He obviously thought the same thing as his brother. He took out a few storage bags from his sleeves, presented them with both hands, and said respectfully:

"I was late in notifying you, and I feel deeply guilty. I'll use these spiritual resources to apologize to you, sir!"

The fish-like monster sneered and snatched the storage bag from his hand like a gust of wind. His expression was still very ugly. He held the storage bag in his hand and sneered:
"Apologize? Grandpa, I came here to take up my post, not to listen to your apology? I saw that your family had a connection with the lake, so I wanted to be nice to you, but it seems that I smiled too much, and now you don't know what's good for you!"

He had an ugly face, with drops of mucus dripping down his face. He put the storage bag in his hand into his sleeve, and spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh... How dare you embarrass anyone... Master Yangya... He really has a bad temper!"

Thank you all for your well wishes! Thank you very much!

I wish you all good health and lots of money!
