The Collection of The End

——Year 7——

It is said that the third prince of Xihai followed Jin Chanzi to the west. On the way, he subdued a group of grass bandits who claimed to found a country and become the king. When he got interested, he chose the position of founding the country for this group of grass bandits, found the economic lifeline, formulated regulations, and set terms. In Ao Cunxin's words, "Even if a pig is the king, it can still survive."

The leader of the grass bandits was naturally not a pig. Even with his knowledge as a grass-headed king, he knew that the monk had created for him the prototype of an empire that could be passed down for thousands of years. However, he currently had nothing and had no way of repaying the favor, so he repeatedly expressed his gratitude. , and said that he would build a temple and a golden statue for everyone to pray for blessings at all times.

It was difficult to explain face to face. After traveling westward and leaving the "country" of King Caotou, Jin Chanzi said: "If there is a statue of Amitabha, it will ruin the reputation of donor Ao. If he prays for blessings, it will curse the poor monk to death."

"Praying for blessings means praying to your master. This is understandable, but ruining my reputation?" Ao Lie was a little surprised.

"Just imagine, if the future king really builds a statue of us, wouldn't his citizens who don't know the truth say, 'Blessings are not shallow' when they see the majestic donor Ao and all the beauties?" Jin Chanzi said seriously. .

"This... but if we have to indicate the relationship when we go back to hand over the statue, it will appear that we are looking forward to this statue..." Ao Lie hesitated a little.

"Don't worry, the poor monk has already told the king that Almsgiver Ao is not a womanizer." Jin Chanzi said again.

"Oh... that's okay." Ao Lie seemed to have noticed something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out for the moment, and replied dully.

"...Let me tell you," Ao Cunxin whispered to Bai Jingjing, "Does the bald man always talk like this?"

"...You know, monks don't lie," Bai Jingjing said, "but you can say some specious and misleading words. Did you just discover it recently?"

Further away, Pearl was throwing the unsustainable items given by the "King of the Red Purple Kingdom" to Ao Yu to eat, and did not participate in the conversation.

————

After leaving the "Red and Purple Kingdom", I traveled west for several months, and it was late winter. But I saw: the plum blossoms on the ridge were about to break into jade, the water in the pond gradually turned into ice, the red leaves were falling, and the green pine trees were renewed in color.

Although it hasn't snowed yet, all the vegetation has withered. Since there is no dense forest to cover it, a city can be seen in the distance.

Ao Lie looked into the distance for a moment and said, "I didn't see any flags hanging on the city. It's probably not the capital of a small country, but probably a county of some big country."

Ao Yu raised his hand and responded: "A great country is good."

Ao Cunxin smiled: "A big country is rich in natural products and has more types of food than a small and remote country where one city is a country, right?"

Ao Yu blinked and said "yes".

"That place is not too far away. If we hurry up, we might be able to get into the city before dark, as long as these horses are willing to work hard-" Princess White Bones turned around and said, but suddenly she was stunned: "Why did you dismount? "

"Amitabha," Jin Chanzi got off his horse, clasped his hands together and said, "Is it possible that Donor Bai didn't notice the evil spirit in the city?"

Bai Jingjing frowned slightly and looked at the city for a while, but found nothing unusual, so she waved her hand to summon a few bone-faced servants to go into the city to investigate, and then looked at Ao Lie.

"I didn't notice either..." The third prince shook his head, "But since Jin Chanzi said so, let's build a house and camp nearby for now."

"No need to go to such trouble." Jin Chanzi shook his head and walked towards the willow forest by the roadside.

Under the gaze of a group of dragons and dragons, Jin Chanzi found a willow tree in the forest that seemed to be normal, turned left three times, turned right three times, then covered the trunk of the tree with both hands, and shouted "Open!" , the scenery in the woods changed, and an exquisite manor emerged. On the lintel of the main entrance was a plaque with four large characters "Tsinghua Fairy Mansion" and small characters on the lower right saying "Home of the Lost".

"Amitabha," Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together and said, "Is the Antarctic Immortal here? The poor monk Jin Chanzi has come to make trouble.

"

"Antarctic Immortal?" "Birthday boy?" "Birthday peach?"

The three Xihai dragons had different reactions, and one of them was obviously wrong. Ao Lie twitched the corner of his mouth and pulled his sixth sister behind him.

"You could always find me back then, but now that you've become a mortal, why are you still so sharp?" The door of the manor opened with a creak, and an old man walked out.

But I saw that he was dressed in an ordinary mortal old man's red and white dark clothes, holding a crooked dragon-headed crutch, with a kind smile, crane-haired childlike face, a plump and protruding forehead, a crane on the left, a white deer on the right, and auspicious clouds surrounding him.

"Because the poor monk smelled the aroma of longevity peaches, he came here to ask for seven or eight to taste." Jin Chanzi said.

"Don't say seven or eight, not even three or four. Go quickly, go quickly." The longevity star waved his stick to drive people away.

"Not three or four? How about one or two? That's fine too."

"Where does 'it's okay' come from? Since you have already eaten ginseng fruit, eating longevity peach is a complete waste."

"Forty-seven thousand plus five thousand is not a waste."

"It won't work, it won't work. When you return to the Buddha's position, these lifespan will be wasted as much as possible."

The birthday boy and the golden cicada were both refined and enlightened. If I hadn't heard their words, how would I know they were bargaining?

On this side, Ao Yu turned his attention to the crane brought by the immortal man. The crane glanced at Ao Yu, spread its wings across the ground, and actually showed a little bit of colorful light, which was amazing.

"Incredible~" The Sixth Princess of Xihai sighed in admiration and turned to look at the white deer.

The white deer seemed to be more sensitive than the crane. When Ao Yu looked at it, it trembled all over. As the girl's observation time gradually increased, it became more and more uneasy. After a while, it suddenly neighed and rushed out of the woods.

Ao Lie and Ao Cunxin or Bai Jingjing and Pearl could have stopped the deer, but after all, the other party's owner was present, so they watched it run towards the city.

Jin Chanzi stopped arguing with the birthday girl and sighed: "It's really you."

The birthday boy's smile faded slightly: "Isn't it me?"

Ao Lie had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't ask questions, so he had to listen.

"There are many immortals and stars in the sky, and most mortals either respect or fear you. Only you and the three stars of Fu and Lu are very popular. Therefore, the more of these three stars, the better," Jin Chanzi said: "So I am afraid that you, the immortal, will not expect it." There will come a day when my lifespan will be taken back."

Payback life? That city? Ao Lie was quite surprised.

"The name of this country is 'Bhikkhu'. From the name of the country, we can see that its successive kings have meditated and worshiped the Buddha." The longevity star said: "The Buddha originally asked me to extend the life of everyone in the country for eight years. Unexpectedly, I was touched by that evil beast at that time. With the help of the cane, everyone in the country lived eight hundred years longer.”

"...Amitabha." Jin Chanzi looked normal.

"Wait a minute, even if you extend your life a lot, can't you, Immortal, just take it back?" Ao Lie asked.

"Life is not a thing that can be compared with blessings or wealth. Naturally, foreign objects can be recovered at any time. However, these lifespans have been integrated with the people of the Bhikkhu Kingdom. If the method of recycling foreign objects is used, those with weaker physiques may be exposed on the spot. Die." The birthday boy shook his head repeatedly.

"Then let them live for eight hundred years." Ao Cunxin said nonchalantly: "If a mortal wants to become a Buddha without a chance, it will not take a few hundred years to achieve it."

"But it can transform demons into demons." Before the immortal man or Jin Chanzi could explain, Bai Jingjing said: "The servants sent news that the young and strong people in the bhikkhu country are still normal, while those who are sick, old or disabled are already There is evil or demonic energy permeating the air.”

"Mortals like this are more likely to notice their own changes. After they come to the conclusion that they will continue to look like this, their initial ecstasy can only turn into resentment and then become possessed." The longevity star sighed.

"A whole city's residents are about to turn into monsters or devils, and the poor monk cannot ignore it," Jin Chanzi said.

"However..." Ao Lie exchanged looks with him.

However, the solution was to deprive them of nearly 90% of their current lifespan. In addition, this incident was normal and terrifying from beginning to end. It was very likely that Master Jin Chanzi was testing his theory.

"A servant saw Xian Weng's white deer. It met a white fox and seemed to be persuading her to escape as soon as possible." Bai Jingjing pressed her forehead bone and listened for a moment, then said: "The fox said, 'I just sighed. It would be nice if the people around you wouldn't change, you don't have to go to this point'."

"Evil beast!" the immortal said angrily, not knowing whether he was referring to the white deer or the white fox.

At this point, any search for the cause is no longer necessary, only how to solve the problem.

According to Jin Chanzi's theory, all misfortunes and misfortunes are arranged by others. However, this time it was purely a good intention. How can it be called malice or misfortune if it makes people live longer? The occurrence of demons turning into demons is caused by personal xinxing problems.

The culprit is being monitored, and those who can easily solve this matter are also around. All Jin Chanzi has to do at this time is to make a choice and pay the price. If his behavior is different from his own theory, there is no need to do so. Heading west again.

The simplest way is to persuade the birthday girl who cannot make up his mind to forcibly take back his lifespan, no matter how many casualties are caused. But in this way, in addition to killing many people, Jin Chanzi also becomes the black hand who arranges the fate of others at will. If you don’t argue the law, you will fail.

The inferiors slowly regained their lifespan and their hands were clean, but those who became demons could not be saved and could only be killed. They followed the surface and did not care about the cause and effect, but on the inside they became the kind of hypocritical people that Jin Chanzi hated. .

The worst thing is to completely ignore the matter, capture the white deer, capture the white fox, and leave directly on the pretext that things have happened here, allowing the bhikkhu country to develop on its own. Such an approach is somewhat heavenly, "Don't ask about the past, just look at the situation." Result” flavor.

"Almsgiver Ao, the poor monk will stay in this bhikkhu country for a while," Jin Chanzi finally said, "the poor monk will use the method of healing and saving people that he learned from his master in this life to cure all those who may turn into demons." For stubborn diseases, strengthen the physique of those who suffer from the loss of life span, and ask the longevity star to strip away the excess life span on the premise of ensuring that no one will be injured."

As soon as these words came out, golden lotuses bloomed all over Jin Chanzi's body, which was filled with holy meanings, making the longevity star marvel.

"Of course, I have already said that a few years is like a scoop of water in the world to the dragon clan's lifespan." Ao Lie nodded in agreement, but there was a slight movement in his heart.

This style of work is so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere before, but I can’t remember it at the moment.
