Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 420 Dragon Subduing Arhat
"Your name is Xu Hanwen, Xu Hanwen and Xu Xuan from Renjitang?!"

Ren Qinglian's words finally stopped the playful pair of uncles and nephews. Xu Hanwen nodded subconsciously. It was the first time that Lan Caihe noticed the appearance of the bitter master who bought the blue wine. As soon as it was bright, he blurted out: "Fellow Daoist Han Xiangzi!" After speaking, he sat down next to Ren Qinglian, who was familiar with him, and said with a strange expression: "Fellow Daoist, have you heard of my useless nephew? "

The corners of Ren Qinglian's mouth twitched. I dare say that this pair of uncles and nephews have such familiar personalities. It is not surprising that Lan Caihe can recognize him. After all, with Lu Dongbin's magical means, he used magic to transfer his appearance to It was easy for the others, and they nodded: "I still don't know how to call fellow daoists!"

Lan Caihe took out a jug from the flower basket on his own, and filled the wine for the two of them, "I'll do it first as a respect, poor Xu Jie, you can call me 'Lan Caihe'!"

Ren Qinglian drank the wine, found that it was actually blue wine, and secretly paid for it: "This wine should be made by Lan Caihe, but I don't know how much he brought in this basket..." The two exchanged a few more words, Ren Qinglian saw Xu Xuan stood beside him with an embarrassed face, and said with a smile: "On the way here, I heard someone mention the good name of Mr. Xu Xuan of Renji Hall. It's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you!"

"How dare, how dare!" Xu Xuan hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, but he was a little dazed in his heart: "I am so famous now?" In fact, although he often gave some soups and medicines to the nearby people for free, as a member of Renjitang The little apprentice is not well-known at this time, even if there are patients who are grateful, most of them will not be grateful to him as an "errand boy".

On the other hand, Lan Caihe, who was beside him, saw that Ren Qinglian deliberately found an excuse to talk to Xu Xuan, couldn't help frowning slightly, and secretly said: "Could it be that he has already discovered Xu Xuan's background..."

The plan of the White Snake Legend was formulated by several Bodhisattvas in order to restore and enhance the influence of Mahayana in Nanfang Buzhou. As a key figure in the plan, how can Xu Xuan be an idler.

Although it would not be easy for Ren Qinglian to guess Xu Xuan's origin, but it was impossible to guess who the other party was reincarnated from.At this moment, he noticed Lan Caihe's expression, but suddenly had an idea, "I don't know when the other fellow Taoists will arrive?"

"It should be soon. Pindao came here earlier because he lives in Qiantang..."

The two of them were talking, Xu Xuan felt a little embarrassed standing aside, and took out the gold he had collected from Ren Qinglian and put it on the table: "Brother...well, I didn't know you knew my uncle... This is for you..."

Ren Qinglian waved her hands indifferently, "One size counts for one size. If that's the case, it would be wrong for you to call me 'Xiongtai' now."

"..." Xu Xuan opened his mouth, isn't that the reason, but asked him to call a guy who looked younger than himself "Uncle, Uncle", he really couldn't open his mouth, seeing Ren Qinglian insisted on not Withdrawing the gold, he hid it in his cuffs with a sneer, turned to Lan Cai and said, "Uncle, do you have a visitor today? Then I won't bother you in Chinese." Saying this, she cupped her hands to Ren Qinglian, turned and left .

Ren Qinglian looked thoughtful, followed Xu Xuan with her gaze, watched him pass the broken bridge in front of him and disappeared through the side window, and then said to herself suddenly: "Hanging the pot to help the world, good deeds In the world, the layout of the Buddhist sect is really ingenious, and the selection of candidates is extraordinary..."

Lan Caihe had been observing Ren Qinglian's expression, and when he heard this, he became more and more sure that the other party must have seen Xu Xuan's identity, but as the Eight Immortals of the Taoist sect, how can they grow others' ambition and destroy their own prestige? In fact, in the eyes of their Taoist disciples, the so-called Buddhism is just heresy, and they even said with some disdain: "He is the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha, so naturally he wants to hang the pot to help the world! As for the Buddhism Eyes, hehe, isn't that the people of Cihangdao who want to use this opportunity to please the two saints of the Western religion..."

"Oh?" Ren Qinglian echoed casually from time to time, her face full of curiosity, which greatly satisfied Lan Caihe's desire to show off her knowledge in front of the newcomers who went to the Eight Immortals. Afterwards, he became a bit unrestrained, and occasionally used vulgar words such as "bald donkey" and "little man".

Ren Qinglian knew from this guy's dress that the other party was the kind of "informal" person, but Lan Caihe's words and deeds still made him fall into the eyes. The original big guy began to merge with the square dancing aunt develop...

However, he was not surprised. The relationship between Human Education and Interpretation Education was very good, and there was always a tradition of sympathy. Naturally, he would not be polite to these apostate scum like the Ci Hangdao people.

In Lan Caihe's description, the world of desire is shattered, Duobao retreats, the entire Mahayana sect has no leader, and Guanyin Bodhisattva and others are eager to plan the White Snake. It can't be changed. The reason why these bodhisattvas took the clone of Medicine Buddha as Xu Xian's candidate is just to take this opportunity to curry favor with the two saints of the West. This is as shameless and despicable as their change of family back then.

But Ren Qinglian knows that the story of the White Snake is definitely more complicated than what Lan Caihe said. At least, there is also the figure of Li Shan's old mother, which shows that the forces of Jiejiao are also involved in it, and in the legend of later generations In the story, Xu Shilin, Xu Xian's son, is the reincarnation of the Wenqu star in the sky, that is to say, there is also the existence of heaven. Although this is another layout of the Mahayana in Nanfang Buzhou, the cause and effect involved are extremely complicated.

Moreover, if his guess is correct, the avatar of the Medicine Buddha is the Buddhist master who was sealed in the Desire Realm and forced to pass away by the Emperor Qitian. It is probably just a chance to become Xu Xuan. Mentioning the great disciple of the sage, Medicine Buddha doesn't care too much about how much merit and accumulation he can win in this layout.

As for the fact that Master Cihang and others want to use this matter to curry favor with the two Western saints, it is even more taken for granted.At the beginning when Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha, the two sages in the West reluctantly retreated behind the scenes because they considered the general trend of Buddhism. However, they had no prejudice against Mahayana itself, and even let Medicine Master Buddha and other ancient Buddha clones join in. The Mahayana sect naturally doesn't care about the recruiting personnel such as Randeng and Cihang joining the Mahayana sect. No matter whether there are any secrets behind it, at least on the surface, the people like Randeng and Cihang are still Western The disciples who started the second holy degree will not fall into the situation that Lan Caihe imagined.

However, Lan Caihe and Gu Gu talked happily, but they didn't realize that at some time, there were already several monks in crimson robes in the attic.

Ren Qinglian noticed the scene of them filing in, but didn't pay attention at first.But soon, when the leading monk among them began to eat big fish and meat, he secretly paid attention.Then, when Lan Caihe talked about the excitement, he couldn't help cursing from the bald donkey and the bald thief, and found that the wine and meat monk suddenly had an evil spirit.

"This monk is a master!" Although the aura of the wine and meat monk was only fleeting, Ren Qinglian could feel that the other party should have a strength around the lotus platform level (that is, the Yuanying level of Taoism), although not high, but placed here Southern Buzhou is one of the few that exist.

"Who is this person, even stronger than Fa Hai!" Ren Qinglian couldn't help but start to feel suspicious when thinking of the Zen Master Fa Hai she met before.

Lan Caiping spends his days in the market, and he is quite good at bragging. While drinking blue wine, he continues to speak nonsense.

Ren Qinglian noticed that the jug that Lan Caihe took out could already hold several flower baskets, and guessed that the other party's flower basket should be a magic weapon of space attribute.

……

Unexpectedly, when Lan Caihe kept using the flower basket, Li Er also felt a wave of fluctuation from the basket with the stars beside him in the big red sky 33 days away.This flower basket is an innate magic weapon, it comes in pairs, but its level is average, and it has no other functions except storage.However, it can also be seen from this that Renjiao is also very concerned about the matter of going to the Eight Immortals this time.

It's just that Li Er's eyes fell on Ren Qinglian, but he couldn't help but frown, and using his supernatural powers, he sensed why the aura on Ren Qinglian gave him a familiar feeling, "So it's this Kid!" Shaking his head, "He's really a shit-stirring stick, he's everywhere! Odd numbers, ah, odd numbers..." As he spoke, he looked at a star that shot past in the void, after all ignoring the matter of the fairy world , continue fishing.

Li Er obviously paid more attention to these stars than the Buddhist and Taoist struggle that the Taishang Laojun paid attention to.

……

On the other hand, Ren Qinglian also knew the origin of the wine and meat monk through the whispered discussions of the drinkers around, "The monk of Lingyin Temple... yes, Lingyin Temple is indeed near the West Lake..."

With a murmur, he vaguely heard a somewhat familiar voice from the broken bridge not far outside: "Xiaoqing!"

"It's them." Ren Qinglian looked over the window and saw two horses galloping past on the white dike from a distance. The two women on the horses were the ones he rescued from the dense snake tribe in the past. Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, who had met several times on the journey to the west, "Isn't it fate..." Thinking of the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn the scriptures, Ren Qinglian guessed that the encounter between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen might have to go through a certain number of calamities, the so-called thousand years Wait a while, I'm afraid that's the reason.

Just thinking about it, the wine and meat monk couldn't bear it after all, and stood up with a bang, "Where did the rogue come from, in broad daylight, full of nonsense, dare to say that Lingshan is broken..."

Saying that, he grabbed the long eyebrow stick in his hand and slammed it at the table where Ren Qinglian and the two were sitting.

The next moment, the wine jug placed in front of Lan Caihe was already thrown into the air by the shock, and the whole table, the leg near him was also split in two, and smashed towards him.

"Huh?" Lan Caihe saw that the wine and meat monk was not weak, so he let out a light snort, and said disdainfully, "Where did the wild monk come from!" After finishing speaking, he stepped on the sky and lightly scolded: "Pointing to the ground into steel! With a sudden slap, several long swords protruded out of nowhere from around the monk's feet, trapping him inside.

"Junior Brother Daoji, this thief knows sorcery, let's go!" The few monks who were eager to try were startled and couldn't help shouting.

Ren Qinglian's heart was moved, Daoji, Lingyin Temple, the wine and meat monk in front of him must be the Jigong Living Buddha of later generations, but according to legend, this person is a figure from the Southern Song Dynasty, could it be that the Daoji in front of him is just his The reincarnation of a certain life.

He guessed right, the monk in front of him is indeed the reincarnation of the Dragon Subduing Arhat. After the Buddha arranged for the reincarnation of the toad spirit, he suggested that this Dragon Subduing Arhat also go to reincarnate for a long time, so that he can practice a little bit, according to the original plan , he will not appear in history as Jigong until 300 years later.However, now that the Lingshan Mountain has collapsed, Mahayana teachings are employing people. Not long ago, after Hui An sent Fahai back to Jinshan Temple to practice in seclusion, he passed by Lingyin Temple on the way back to South China Sea, and found the reincarnation of the descending dragon Arhat. Its attunement.

The reincarnation practice of Buddhism has its own purpose in each life. The purpose of the first reincarnation of Jianglong Luohan is to eliminate the hostility in him. He has become disrespectful, relying on strong force, he is already the overlord of this Lingyin Temple, and the few monks around him are his followers.

Seeing Lan Caihe's Tiangang reform at this time, he sneered: "It turns out that there are some tricks, but the Sa family is not afraid of you!" Although he is currently only in the realm of the lotus platform, but after the memory is awakened, his Taoism is always there. They are all recovering, and they are not afraid in the face of a sloppy Taoist.Shouted loudly: "Great Vajra Arhat, belong to me!"

But he is not stupid, knowing that his strength is not good enough for the opponent, he cast the Buddha mantra to summon part of the power of the Vigorous Vajra Arhat. Against the enemy, but because of the identity of the Dragon Subduing Arhat, the strength borrowed this time is not weak.I saw a golden light slowly appearing behind him, faintly turning into a giant golden Buddha, sitting down, shattering all the gang knives protruding from the ground.

"Haha, there's a trick from the Chisa family—subduing the dragon and setting the cauldron!" While shouting, he raised his hands to the sky, condensing countless strange runes, forming a big tripod like a fleeting image, with a sense of majesty, majesty, The quaint and grand atmosphere moves toward Lancai and Suppression!
Lan Caihe now finally knew that the opponent's strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, so he didn't dare to be careless, took out a sword from the flower basket, and shouted in a deep voice: "Good job!" Quickly, the fierce sword energy formed a giant net above his head.

With a bang, the tripod and swords intersected.The explosion of energy caused the entire attic to become extremely chaotic.

The drinkers had already dispersed, leaving only the old shopkeeper hiding in the corner wiping the cold sweat on his brow, "Amitabha... Infinite Heaven... Jade Emperor..." Named all the gods and Buddhas he could imagine They each read the number once and prayed secretly.
