Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"What I said may sound a bit sarcastic, please forgive me...

The monks didn't meet anyone along the way. When they were suffering from physical fatigue, what were they thinking about, encouraging themselves to grit their teeth and endure?

These monks from the Great Compassion Temple only drank a few sips of water and did not even touch the fruits on the trees next to them.

The monk who led the group said, "Don't think or miss anything. Just empty yourself. Once you reach your limit, the things you should be thinking about will naturally appear in your mind."

Fu Guanyin apologized for her own dullness. She didn't understand at all and asked:

"Your mind and body are exhausted to the limit. I'm afraid your consciousness is even hazy and blurry. Can you really comprehend anything? Wouldn't it be better if you were refreshed?"

The monk's face was haggard, and he looked almost like a complete beggar. Only the rosary in his hand could barely identify him. He said:

"It depends on one's aptitude. For those with superior aptitude who are cultivating the Dao, they can calm their minds, free of distracting thoughts, and feel clear and refreshed, which is the best. However, for those whose aptitude is not superior, their minds are constantly filled with distracting thoughts. The more relaxed their minds are, the more distracting thoughts they have."

“When I’m free, I want to play. When I’m hungry, I want to eat. When I’m sleepy, I want to sleep. Even in my dreams, I have thoughts. My distracting thoughts never cease for a moment.”

"On the contrary, when your body and mind are strained to their limits, with no energy left for distracting thoughts, you are truly yourself. The things you truly desire in your heart, the meaning of the scriptures, will naturally emerge. That is the true pursuit that is usually obscured by distracting thoughts!"

"Those who practice Taoism will say, 'If the mind is not dead, the Tao will not arise.' Those who study and learn will say, 'So they starve their bodies.' And the ascetic practices of the Great Compassion Temple—they are all essentially saying the same thing."

Fu Guanyin nodded thoughtfully.

Although she did not get off the train to follow the group, when she felt troubled to a certain extent, she would let go of her thoughts and naturally review what she had comprehended in the past.

It was like a martial arts book that appeared in front of her and turned on its own, beyond her control.

"I heard that the compassion of the Great Compassion Temple means suffering for the world? Can one really endure all this suffering?"

The monk shook his head:

“The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and there is no end to suffering. We do not suffer for the sake of suffering, but rather to receive less blessings so that others can share more of them.

Dabei Temple believes that accumulating merit for oneself is self-kindness and self-love, while accumulating merit for others is great compassion.

The monks rested for a while and prepared to set off again and leave the oasis.

Before leaving, Xing Tou Tuo reminded:

"Go further and you will reach Liangjin Country. That is the territory of the Black Sky Secret Sect, one of the current demonic forces. Female donor, please do not set foot there casually."

The beautiful blonde girl was just immersed in the conversation, but when she heard the monk talking about the Krishna Tantra, she immediately remembered some similarities.

Once upon a time, the Krishna Tantric sect was merely a power behind the Liangjin Kingdom, providing them with space while they served as thugs, ensuring the kingdom's survival. In recent years, the Krishna Tantric sect has essentially taken over everything, forcing even the Liangjin royal family to adopt the monastic life.

The situation was similar to that of the Shenshui Sect, but the White Peacock only asked the royal family to abstain from alcohol and didn't pay much attention to anything else.

Thinking that this group of monks was specifically heading to Liangjin Kingdom, Fu Guanyin couldn't help but be curious about their goal.

"Xing Toudao, is there any connection between the Krishna Tantra and the Great Compassion Temple? It seems that your teachings have some similarities..."

"Indeed, many monks from Dabei Temple fled there. They felt that such suffering was unnecessary. At first, they relaxed a little, but later they relaxed more and more, and finally they described indulging in pleasure as breaking the precepts and suffering for sentient beings."

I was wondering why they were so similar, and it turns out it wasn't an illusion.

This should be considered a scandal in the temple. I didn't expect that the monk would say it so frankly without worrying about being misunderstood.

However, these monks who have been able to stay in Dabei Temple may be more focused on their own practice and no longer care about any misunderstandings.

Fu Guanyin sighed:

"Were the teachings of Krishna Tantra 'perfected' by those defecting monks? This is a complete distortion."

The monk Xing Tuo was not angry at all, but accepted the change calmly. He said:

"Well, I guess so. Initially, there was a monk who went there to debate. There was a suppressed demon there, and the demon won the debate. As a result, the monk lost his Buddhist heart.

We went there for no other reason than to take a walk and see our former fellow monks."

Xing Toudao was about to focus on his ascetic practice. When he saw that Fu Guanyin was planning to visit Liangjin Kingdom, he gave her the rosary in his hand.

"Take this, benefactor. I see you're planning on going to Liangjin. This rosary will keep you safe from the Tantric monks while you're in Liangjin."

There seems to be some unrest there, perhaps because the killing season is approaching, or if there's something else going on."

Fu Guanyin did not refuse. The monks of Dabei Temple were very sharp in capturing crises and turmoil, just like they did last time outside the capital of the Sun and Moon Kingdom.

Since I want to go there and take a look, it would be better to accept the rosary.

She imitated a Buddhist ritual and thanked the monk for his kindness.

This group of monks walked into the windy and sandy desert, with their heads lowered and their eyes focused for a while, but soon became "empty", their minds distracted but not absent-minded.

Fu Guanyin flew back into the clouds and continued to follow.

After a long time, a Buddha head appeared at the end of the horizon. It was a huge Buddha statue in the capital of the Liangjin Kingdom.

The Buddha head statue's gaze was looking in the direction of the group of people heading towards Dabei Temple, giving off a huge sense of oppression, as if scrutinizing everyone who entered this place.

"Out there, people are wantonly spreading the Dharma and building temples, but all the Buddhist temples and their statues combined are probably not as magnificent as this demonic sect."

*

Night gradually fell in the capital of the Liangjin Kingdom.

It was finally time for the people to rest. If it weren't for the fact that too many stonemasons had fallen to their deaths while climbing up high to build the Guanyin statue at night in the past period of time, affecting the construction schedule, the people probably wouldn't have been able to leave work so early.

Monks and wealthy believers from outside rushed to the last day of the sex-abstinence season to break the vows for the people.

From many spacious Buddhist temples, lewd music could be heard and the scenes inside were chaotic... There was no distinction between men and women, and no restrictions on dogs, pigs, or sheep.

This corresponds to what is written on the wall: “All beings are equal.”

During this night, some people indulged in sensual pleasures, while others could not calm down.

Especially the members of Wuzhong who hold bone knives.

The communication engraving would emit fluctuations every once in a while, just like a hunter blocking the entrance of a cave, sharpening his knife.

The people of Guanxiong Country were extremely surprised. They even wanted to go out and confirm which tribe they belonged to that could be so high-profile and domineering!

"The Feathered People fled here with the Great Calamity Bone Knife, and several of us followed them. We were barely aware of our intention to fight for them, but we didn't expect someone to be so arrogant!"

"They're blocking the outside of Liangjin Country, beating drums and gongs like a drum, constantly triggering these bone knife engravings. It's so annoying."

"They're probably checking the movements of the Feathered People, fearing they might escape. They've been suppressing the Bone Knife, and only occasionally reveal their location when they're distracted."

"Did you sense anything just now? There's also the aura of bone knife carvings in the direction of the Black Sky Secret Sect's main altar. Who is in contact with the Black Sky Secret Sect?"

*

As midnight approached, several monks on night watch were already walking towards the big bell, ready to use the ringing of the bell to remind people of the end of Lust, Caution Season.

Aunt Green Snake asked in the Yuanshen Cave:

[Ugh... My eyes are dirty. I just saw someone attack a sheep! Wuji, the killing season is about to begin. Which side should we attack first? There are several Wuzhong members here. It's hard to choose!]

During the half-day wait, Chu Wuji was pondering the inheritance of "Yang" while thinking about his plan.

He already had a rough idea in his mind:

[First, attack the Great Tribulation Bone Knife, pretending to fight for it. At the same time, observe the auras of the other bone knives. If anyone doesn't rush over to fight for it, it must be Yu Shiqi. Go and find her directly!]

Chapter 465 Encounter

In this three-pronged battle line, Chu Wuzhi and Madam Jiang, also known as the Sky Fox Queen, were together.

This may sound a bit against Tiangang, but Chu Wuzhi is the only one who can control the Fox Goddess here. Otherwise, if the fox girl gets excited, she won't know where to go, and the words of the White Snake and the Green Snake will be nothing but wind in the fox girl's ears.

Qingshe and Xuanyi acted together. Xuanyi did not "station" in Chu Wuzhi's soul cave, so no one knew if there were any temporary changes in the plan. Someone still had to notify him, and Aunt Qingshe was the most suitable person.

The White Snake and the White Peacock are working together temporarily. They both have stable personalities and are unlikely to make mistakes. Their cooperation will not be affected by the unfamiliarity of their relationship.

As a native of the Western Regions who grew up in Bai Kongque, she exclaimed in disbelief:

"I never imagined that one day, we would be so ignorant as to block the headquarters of the Demonic Sect, and with just a few of us..."

The closer it is to midnight, the stronger this feeling becomes.

Bai Sujin appeared in human form after a long absence. Her white dress fluttered, and her temperament was like an angel. She replied in a gentle voice:

"It's not exactly blocking the Demonic Sect. We haven't alerted the Black Sky Secret Sect yet. It's just that the target we're surrounding happens to be inside the Demonic Sect."

If they really came for the Krishna Tantric Sect, it would be difficult for them to stand here and chat calmly.

Just dealing with the sect's formation was enough to make him exhausted.

On the other side, Aunt Green Snake sat cross-legged in the air, one hand supporting her cheek, staring at him boredly. She had just been scolded by Xuan Yi for "sitting in an untidy manner".

After discussing the plan with Chu Wuji in the Yuanshen Cave, Aunt Qingshe said to Xuanyi:

"Ahem, Sister Xuanyi, Wuji just said that we should feint an attack on the Great Tribulation Bone Knife and pretend to fight for it. Then, we'll see who doesn't catch up and immediately attack them."

Xuan Yi stood in the night with her arms crossed, her black dress blending into the darkness. When the moonlight passed through the dark clouds and occasionally shone on her body, it immediately reflected her sexy and proud curves.

The whole person is like a fragrant and beautiful thorny flower, extremely beautiful, but also exudes a dangerous and ferocious aura.

Xuan Yi didn't care about plans or anything like that, as long as she had someone to work on, she was only curious about one thing:

"Xiaoqing, there really is a secret way for you and Wuji to communicate, right? Is it some kind of magic weapon? Give it to me, and I'll contact him!"

He is very domineering and wants to steal his sister's things.

But this does not mean that he does not take his sister's feelings seriously. If it was something else, Xuan Yi would definitely ask politely, but when it comes to the means of contacting his son, he cannot be polite.

Aunt Green Snake curled her lips, snorted quietly, and complained in her heart: You are so unreasonable when asking me for things. Fortunately, I can't give you this thing.

"I can't give it to you. I directly sent a wisp of my consciousness to the center of Wuji's eyebrows."

"Is Bai Sujin also in there? Why did she send a wisp of her spiritual consciousness in?" Xuan Yi wondered.

"Because when Wuji was cultivating his soul, he used his qi and blood to directly chisel open his soul cave. At that time, his soul was not yet mature, and the middle door was wide open, making it easy for others to attack it as a weakness. So I went in to protect him."

Aunt Green Snake told the story slowly, and her tone and manner sounded like a considerate elder who silently contributed to the safety of the younger generation without boasting about his achievements.

She didn't mention at all how long she had begged before her sister, White Snake, allowed her to live in the Yuanshen Cave.

"Sister Xuanyi, you are not suitable to stay here. Wuji's soul is too weak and can be easily affected by your evil spirit. If you have anything to say, I will convey it to you~"

The beautiful woman in black robe nodded helplessly. She would not get angry with her son's soul because she knew that her aura would indeed affect his soul.

But it is still okay to go in and take a look, as long as you don't stay there for long.

But Bai Sujin is already inside and will definitely try to stop it.

It's annoying just thinking about it.

Xuan Yi felt a surge of anger just by imagining the negotiation and conversation between herself and the White Snake. She approached her sister and started rubbing her pretty face.

"What are you doing?" Aunt Green Snake was very dissatisfied, but in front of Sister Heart Demon, it was just a lot of noise but little action.

"I suddenly feel a little angry. Use your face to control your anger."

"There are so many evil cultivators down there, you can just kill a few of them to vent your anger, why are you targeting me..."

After entering the capital of Liangjin Kingdom, Fu Guanyin did not continue to follow Xing Tou Tuo's team.

Because they were heading towards the place where monks gathered, Fu Guanyin didn't want to get close to that kind of place. The more monks there were, the stronger the frowning and disgusting smell would be.

Even if I could hold my breath and move, as long as I passed by the Buddhist temples in the neighborhoods, I would feel that my clothes were stained by filth in the air.

She held the rosary and disguised herself as a Buddhist to avoid being discovered by the magical instruments placed in the royal capital.

As she walked along, she found that places with fewer monks were actually places with more common people.

These people are natives of Liangjin Kingdom, but now they have become laborers to build Buddha statues. Some monks are supervising them with whips.

"Hurry up and eat. After finishing your porridge and cakes, get back to work! We'll try to finish repairing this giant Bodhisattva statue before winter, or the stonemasons won't have time to even fix the head and face of the Bodhisattva!"

The people were complaining bitterly. Their hands were covered with blood scabs from carrying the stones, and every time they grabbed the rough bread, the blood scabs fell off. Some people pleaded:

"Master, let us take a break. Let us also worship the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, who are compassionate..."

The monk was assigned to be the supervisor. He missed the last night of the Lust, Caution season and was already in a bad mood. Now, hearing the people's pleas, he whipped them.

"Isn't it right for you to believe in Buddha? If you don't work, why should we do it?

I was going to break the precepts and suffer for the people today, but just to keep an eye on you, do you know how much merit I lost?!"

Fu Guanyin frowned. She cast a small spell and a bolt of lightning struck the monk, causing him to twitch on the ground.

The people were terrified and didn't know what was going on. After a while, they found that nothing had happened, so they got up and continued to work.
