Taiping Inn

At this time, the sound of bells suddenly came from the Jingchan Sect, resounding throughout the "Buddha City".

The people in the Heavenly King Hall naturally heard the bells. The Great Heavenly Master said: "This is the bell to summon the monks in the temple. It seems that the people in the temple can no longer hold back. Well, let's go and take a look."

Li Xuandu gathered his thoughts and followed the Great Heavenly Master out of the Heavenly King Hall and walked towards the place where the bells rang.

Not long after, the group arrived at the square in front of the main hall. There were not many disciples of Jingchan Sect on the square. The leader was an old monk. After seeing the group, he clasped his hands together and saluted, saying, "I am Fang Xuan, and I greet the Great Heavenly Master, the sect masters, and the elders."

Zhang Jingxiu said indifferently, "It turns out that it is Master Fang Xuan, the junior brother of Abbot Fang Jing."

Fang Xuan said, "I am the head of the Arhat Hall of Jingchan Sect. Now all the senior brothers and junior brothers are in retreat, so I am here to welcome you. However... you are all well-known people in the world. It is not the way to treat guests to barge in like this."

Master Huixuan said, "Master Fang Xuan also knows that we are the masters and elders of a sect, not to mention that the Great Heavenly Master is here in person. It is fine that you, the Jingchan Sect, did not open the door to welcome us, but you are making excuses in every way. This is not hospitality either. , right? In this case, we are even. "

Zhang Jingxiu did not want to talk to Fang Xuan, and asked: "Since the death of Abbot Fang Jing, I wonder who is the abbot of your sect?"

Fang Xuan replied respectfully: "Since the death of Abbot Fang Jing, the position of abbot of our sect has been taken over by Brother Fang Hui. Brother Fang Hui has been in seclusion since last year, and it has been more than a year. The disciples of our sect have not seen his kindness for a long time. The affairs of our sect are now managed by this poor monk. If the great master has anything to say, you may as well tell me."

Li Xuandu suddenly said: "Master Fang Xuan wants to discuss important matters with the great master in this open air?"

Fang Xuan was startled, then put his hands together and apologized: "It is my negligence. Please invite the great master and the elders of the sect to come in and talk."

After that, he turned around and invited everyone to enter the main hall. The Great Hall of the Buddha is naturally magnificent, comparable to the Taiping Palace of the Taiping Sect. The dome is more than ten feet high and supported by eight huge pillars. The first thing that comes into view is a gilded Buddha, which is nine feet high. The head of the Buddha statue is almost touching the dome. The dome is divided into countless square small grids, in which there are golden lamps hanging upside down. The golden light falls down and forms a golden backlight behind the head of the Buddha statue, just like the Buddha descending to the world. The Buddha statue sits cross-legged on a golden lotus. Under the lotus is a clear pool with gentle waves. There are koi fish swimming freely with their tails gently swinging. There are also countless lotuses planted, covering the water surface, and green lamps are lit in the lotus. The lights are brilliant and reflect the water surface, like the Buddha's light shining everywhere, so the Great Hall of the Buddha does not give people a gloomy feeling at all.

Li Xuan looked up and saw that the golden Buddha had a compassionate face and soft contours. He was in the fearless seal and looked down at the world. The Buddha was so big that it was the largest indoor Buddha statue except for the Buddha statues built on the mountain. The inside was cast in brass and the outside was gilded.

In front of the Buddha statue were the incense table, furnace and tripod used for worship, and then there were two rows of cushions, which looked particularly small in front of the Buddha. After everyone sat cross-legged, Fang Xuan said, "I wonder why the great master came to visit this time?"

Xiao Shiyu was upright in character and could not stand such roundabout words. He said bluntly, "Don't you know, Master Fang Xuan?"

Fang Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xiao Shiyu sneered, "The female sect fired artillery at Xuannv Mountain, the earth master attacked the Great True Man Mansion, the Taiping Sect's Mr. Shen was robbed, and Mr. Li took over as the acting leader of the Taiping Sect. Master, you don't know anything about these things?"

Fang Xuan still shook his head and said, "Since the Jingchan Temple was closed, I don't know anything about the outside world. , I hope Master Xiao will forgive me. "

Then he bowed to Li Xuandu again: "No wonder you look unfamiliar, I guess you are Master Li."

Li Xuandu returned the greeting and said: "Li Xuandu greets Master Fang Xuan."

"Let's stop talking nonsense." Zhang Jingxiu said: "I and the other masters and elders came here to discuss the battle between good and evil with the Jingchan Sect. In recent years, the arrogance of the evil sects has become increasingly rampant, and they have frequently attacked and repeatedly offended our righteous sects. All sects have suffered greatly from it, so we jointly advocated a righteous action to attack Beimang Mountain and restore peace to the world."

Fang Xuan showed hesitation and was silent.

Situ Xuanlue patted his knees lightly and chuckled, "The Jing Chan Sect has been here for so many years, it can't be absent, right?"

Zuo Yuhan also said, "Could it be that the Jing Chan Sect will not even avenge the great hatred of Abbot Fang Jing?"

Hearing what the two said, Fang Xuan said seriously, "This is a matter of justice, and the Jing Chan Sect is obliged to do so, but... but..."

Zhang Jingxiu asked, "But what?"

Fang Xuan looked sad and said, "The reason why our sect closed the mountain and the temple was because of the calculation of the geomancer."

Zhang Jingxiu frowned, "Fang I personally witnessed what happened to Abbot Jing. If that was all, the Jing Zen Sect would not be seriously injured."

"That's what the Great Heavenly Master said." Fang Xuan folded his hands and said, "In the incident in the imperial capital that day, Mr. Shen died on the spot. Brother Fang Jing had a higher level of cultivation and was only seriously injured. He barely returned to the sect, and the disaster of our sect was caused by this, and the whole sect was almost wiped out. Although we finally escaped the danger, the masters of our sect also suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining people had to retreat and linger on."

Zhang Jingxiu frowned even more and asked, "What do you mean?"

Fang Xuan said, "That day, Senior Brother Fang Jing returned to Jingchan Temple from the imperial capital. We all knew it well. The ruthless and ruthless master had cut off the vitality of Senior Brother Fang Jing, but the senior brother was only left to the immortal realm at that time. The next half of the step is far away, so I can barely survive and return to the temple to explain the funeral. On that day, Senior Brother Fang Jing summoned us to the abbot's room and wanted to designate the next abbot's candidate. The brothers and brothers had already had this I expected that, I didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Fang Jing suddenly took action, and everyone was not careful, and the two senior brothers who were approaching him died on the spot. It turned out that Senior Brother Fang Jing was not himself, but the Earth Master pretended to be the Earth Master. He was originally a perfect practitioner of the world and was incompatible with the Great Heavenly Master. We were caught off guard. Senior Brother Fang Jing, who had the highest cultivation level, was even more murderously attacked by the Earth Master, so the Earth Master beat us up with his own strength. If it weren't for the advantage of Jingchan Temple at this time, a senior brother tried his best to do so and opened the temple protection formation, which forced the Earth Master to retreat. Otherwise, the foundation of Jingchanism would have been slaughtered by the Earth Master alone. All."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuan was already crying in tears.

When all the sect leaders heard this for the first time, they were shocked. It turned out that before the surprise attack on the Dazhen Mansion, the Earth Master had already used similar tricks, but it was used on the Jing Zen Sect. However, the Jing Zen Sect cannot compare with the Zhengyi Sect. After all, it is the Earth Master, so it is a bit unbearable. On the contrary, Zhengyi Sect, even if all the masters of Yin and Yang Sect and Zaoge Sect were released, they could not hurt Zhengyi Sect’s roots.

Li Xuan frowned and said, "Since Jingchan has suffered such a disaster, why don't you ask for help from other sects?"

After hearing Li Xuan say this, the rest of the people also look at Fang Xuan and listen to his explanation. If Jingchan had long informed other sects of this, then Zhengyi sect would not have been so easily attacked by the local master.

Fang Xuan's face turned red and white. After a moment of silence, he stammered: "After all, Senior Brother Fang Jing died strangely. At that time, the Great Heavenly Master and Li Dajianxian were both present. Even if the Earth Master was the number one person in the world, It's impossible to compete with the two of you..."

Fang Xuan’s implication is that Jing Zen Buddhism can no longer believe in these righteous alliances. Let’s talk about the theory of heart-killing, Jing Zen Buddhism is always happy to be gloating.

Hearing this, everyone immediately had nothing to say, and even Zhang Jingxiu could only remain silent.

At this moment, Fang Xuan stood up from the cushion, bowed respectfully to Zhang Jingxiu, and said sadly: "Master, with such a deep blood hatred, Jing Zen Buddhism does not want to repay, nor does it dare not repay, it is because it is powerless, I hope the great master will observe clearly!”

Zhang Jingxiu closed his eyes and pondered without saying a word.

Fang Xuan walked closer and said, "Now, there is only one monk left in the temple without having to sit in the gate. It is dangerous and unpredictable to attack Beimian Mountain. My monk's life and death are small, and I am afraid that after my monk dies, no one will be allowed. Support the overall situation of Jing Zen Buddhism…”

Just as the word "Journal" was revealed, Fang Xuan suddenly rose up, and he hit his palms, slapped Zhang Jingxiu hard. In an instant, the yin and yang reversed, the Ming and dark transformation, and water and fire suddenly arose. Yin fire immediately appeared on Zhang Jingxiu's body. Four kinds of strange phenomena, including Xuanbing, Tianfeng, and Thunder.
