Feng Lao shook his head after hearing this, stood up and said, "Zen Master Kongming, this is what Feng has to say. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not."
"Daozhang Zhang, don't worry. It's my job, Feng, to hunt down the devil this time. Feng will definitely not shirk and say goodbye."
"Hongguang, let's go."
After saying that, he left the table and walked out the door.
Wang Hongguang followed his master closely and left. He looked at the monk Yuanben and said, "Fat monk, believe me, you will definitely regret it."
"you……"
Just as Monk Yuanben spoke up, he saw that Wang Hongguang ignored him at all and just followed Feng Lao away, leaving nowhere to vent the anger in his heart.
Zhang Fengyi originally thought that he would come out to smooth things over, but now it seems that this matter may not be settled so easily.
Thinking of what Feng Lao had just said, he was a little confused, even hard to understand.
Xu Ping!
This person was able to kill Shi Jian effortlessly, so he must be of high moral character, but can a young man really cultivate such a moral character and not be afraid of anyone?
You must know that there are two top monks in Fahua Temple, and any one of them will have a decisive position in the world.
"Amitabha, I've made you laugh..."
It wasn't until this moment that Master Liao Kong spoke. His face was neither sad nor angry nor happy, making it impossible to see his inner emotions.
"Where, where..."
"Master Liokong is serious. It's clearly Maoshan and that young man who don't know good from evil."
"That's right, that's right!"
"That man surnamed Feng is a cultivator. He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He actually joins an official. He is just a cultivator. Master Yuanben, please don't take it to heart."
"..."
Everyone who stayed behind catered to Fahua Temple, even though they had all heard that Xu Ping single-handedly killed Shi Jian and recovered the evil ghost.
But after all, I have never seen it with my own eyes, so how can it compare to such famous enlightened monks as Zen Master Kongming and Master Liaokong.
As for Mr. Feng who left just now, not many people talked about it, or even took it to heart.
In the chain of contempt in the practice circle, Feng Lao and others were even ranked at the lowest level, even worse than those monsters from the White Lotus Sect.
"Daozhang Zhang, Master Liaokong, you two are the leaders of our group now, why don't you lead us to deal with the devil."
"Even if the person named Feng is not reliable, who knows if he will bring someone with him and suddenly stab him in the back."
Throughout the ages, practitioners have never had a good impression of the imperial government.
Zhang Fengyi readily agreed.
Master Liao Kong shook his head: "Everyone, I am old and frail, and I am really powerless. Let my junior brother represent Fahua Temple."
A flash of joy flashed in Zen Master Kongming's eyes, but when he glanced at his fellow disciples from the corner of his eye, he looked disdainfully, "Senior brother, these words are serious, but since senior brother wants to rest, then let me, an incompetent junior brother, represent Fahua Temple.
, we will definitely kill the devil in the southern city of Guangdong Province."
After listening, Master Lokong nodded, then stood up and left.
After he left, the group of people began to discuss again. After a while, when they were about to go down the mountain like headless flies, a young monk came over and saluted: "Uncle Master, Uncle Master, the Feng who left just now...
Donor, let me give this to you."
With that said, he handed over a piece of paper in front of Fat Monk Yuanben.
Everyone was puzzled and remained silent for a while.
Yuan Ben frowned slightly and did not accept it immediately. Instead, he pondered and said, "Did he say anything else?"
"No."
A golden light flashed in his eyes, and he realized that there was nothing unusual about the note. Yuan Ben then reached out and took the note, and said casually: "Just step back."
"yes!"
The young monk exited the main hall. Monk Yuanben spread out the note, took a look at it, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Master Yuanmoto, what is written on it?"
"It won't be an afternoon letter, right?"
After regaining his composure for a moment, Monk Yuanben turned around and looked at everyone. When his eyes drifted away, he paused for a moment in front of Master Kong Ming.
Looking at everyone, he pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "There is an address written on this, which is the location of the White Lotus Sect's South Guangdong branch."
"ah?"
"Is this address real or fake? Could it be a trap set by the man named Feng who wants to deal with us?"
"This is also very possible."
"It's just that he just left here, and he knew the location so quickly. He was obviously lying."
"..."
The remaining people in the hall had different opinions and generally did not believe it, but only Zhang Fengyi said in a deep voice: "According to Pindao, that fellow Feng Taoist should not be such a person, and he has been working hard in southern Guangdong for a long time.
It’s not impossible to know something.”
"But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst, Taoist Priest!" The elder of the Xingyi Sect said in a deep voice.
Zen Master Kongming, who had been sitting still, opened his eyes long ago when he heard Yuan Ben's words. At this time, he looked at Zhang Fengyi and said slowly: "What the Taoist said makes sense. Now that we have clues, it will be better."
Running around, as to whether it is a trap..."
"Everyone, we are all leaders in our respective sects. Are you still afraid?"
There is such a backbone here. When everyone heard this, they were suddenly enlightened and said one after another: "With Zen Master Kongming here, what should we be afraid of?"
"Okay, even if it's a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, let's break into it."
Listening to the echoes of the crowd, Zen Master Kongming was very satisfied, showed a pleased smile, nodded frequently, and then asked Taoist Zhang Fengyi: "What do you think, Taoist Master?"
Zhang Fengyi nodded: "The idea of Zen Master Kongming coincides with Pindao."
"That's very good." The old Zen Master Kongming stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Everyone, please repair yourself first. I will also go to get ready. We will gather in the square in front of the main hall in a quarter of an hour before setting off."
"good."
"Farewell to Zen Master."
Zen Master Kongming smiled with satisfaction and shouted: "Yuanben, come with me."
The fat monk Yuanben's smile froze, he held the Buddhist ceremony, said goodbye to everyone, and hurriedly followed Zen Master Kongming to the Zen room behind the temple.
…
Jingxin Temple.
The incense that it used to have long gone is now dilapidated, with broken walls and weeds everywhere, and it has become a habitat for boars and squirrels.
Under the afternoon sun, there was still a refreshing cold wind inside the nunnery, which was particularly strange.
Xu Ping, Uncle Jiu and others arrived here directly without stopping at all.
Along the way, both of them had endless things to say.
Xu Ping told Uncle Jiu and Gu Nianhua a series of stories after discovering the evil dragon.
The master of Dinghu in front of him still maintained the demeanor of a master and walked at the front.
But as Xu Ping talked, his steps became slower and slower, and in the end, he expressed his confusion directly to Xu Ping.
"I do not believe!"
If it is true as what this brat said, then his conduct is not inferior to that of a poor man... Master Dinghu couldn't believe his discovery, so he expressed his doubts to Xu Ping.
But this time, what surprised him was that both his disciples and his charming disciples stood opposite and believed in what Xu Ping said.
"So Uncle Jiu, you and other sects discovered the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect in the Qinling Mountains and successfully destroyed it."
When Xu Ping listened to Uncle Jiu's story, he also yearned for it. He had never lacked this kind of heroic spirit of doing justice for heaven.
Gu Nianhua also smiled and rushed to say: "And not only that, when I was in Maoshan, I won three games in a row."
"Won three games in a row?" Xu Ping asked enthusiastically: "Then I want to listen carefully, how did you win, and who won?"
Gu Nianhua was obviously very happy. Ever since she saw Xu Ping, the corners of her mouth had been raised, "It is the competition between the same sects. Only the winner will be qualified to go down the mountain and siege the White Lotus Sect's main altar."
"The ones she was competing against were several senior fellow apprentices of her own generation. It was not easy to win..." Uncle Jiu was also very pleased. He was naturally very happy to have such a disciple fighting for him and earning a reputation in the master's school.
He almost forgot about his family's righteous village, and there were two apprentices waiting eagerly for him to return.
After entering the nunnery, Gu Nianhua was extremely sensitive to Yin energy and said directly: "The Yin energy in this place is very strong. I wonder if evil spirits will breed."
As a yin body, after practicing now, staying in such a place actually makes her feel more comfortable.
Generally, even temples that have been ruined will still have some aura remaining, especially those in deep mountains and old forests.
These remaining spiritual charms cannot be intercepted by practitioners, but they are a great tonic for the spirits and ghosts in the forest.
Master Dinghu closed his eyes and concentrated. After a moment, he said: "There are no monsters here, and there should be no human habitation."
Xu Ping didn't know what kind of survey method he used, but from his eyes, the situation he got was the same as that of Dinghu Zhenren.
There are no demons breeding here, and there is no popularity here, so we know that the demon is not here.
Uncle Jiu took a few steps forward and asked: "Master, do you mean that the devil is not here?"
Master Dinghu nodded, looked at Xu Ping, and said, "It seems that the trip was in vain."
Even though they said this, the few people did not retreat from their progress. When Xu Ping came to a courtyard, the Yin energy in this place was extremely strong. He recognized it at a glance. This was the place where the paper figures were killing everyone.
"It's so strange. It feels like many people died in this place. Why can't I see a single skeleton?" Master Dinghu looked strange.
Because all the corpses were taken away by people sent by Feng Lao... Xu Ping thought in his heart, and judged that it would not take long before the group of people, led by Feng Lao, would go straight to the Jingxin nunnery.
After walking through a corridor, what appeared in front of me was the main hall of the nunnery, where a statue of Guanyin stood with one palm in front of the abdomen and the other raised high to the shoulder.
Although the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is slightly mottled and worn, with many damages, it is still considered complete.
"It seems that this nunnery has been abandoned. It would be better to burn it down to avoid causing more trouble." Uncle Jiu suggested.
His attitude towards evil spirits is usually to set things on fire and burn things out.
"ah?!"
"Even the Guanyin Bodhisattva is burned?" Gu Nianhua shouted. Now the Bodhisattva has really turned into clay and crossed the river, and she cannot protect herself.
Looking at the Guanyin statue in front of him, Xu Ping frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "There seems to be something wrong with this Guanyin statue?"
Gu Nianhua took a look and asked, "What's the problem?"
What's the problem? Xu Ping didn't see it for a while...
"etc!"
Xu Ping shouted, and several people were shocked and looked sideways.
"Look, you guys, is there something missing from the hand of the Guanyin statue?"
Uncle Jiu and Master Dinghu were going to look elsewhere. When they heard Xu Ping's words, they also looked up curiously.
After a while, Uncle Jiu muttered: "The jade purification bottle, the jade purification bottle is missing."
Xu Ping carefully recalled in his mind that when the nunnery was full of paper figures, the jade purification bottle existed, but it seemed that out of awe, no one did anything to the Guanyin statue.
But now the jade purification bottle has disappeared!
"Could it be some small animal that accidentally knocked it down..." Gu Nianhua expressed her judgment. After all, it was an abandoned nunnery.
When they came back just now, they saw many small animals climbing up and down on the road.
Xu Ping nodded, and first agreed with her statement: "What you said is possible, Xiaohua, but..."
"If a small animal knocks it off, then this clay jade bottle will turn into crumbs if it falls to the ground. Have you found any crumbs on the ground?"
After hearing what Xu Ping said, the three of them took a closer look on the spot. They saw lush weeds extending from the corners of the wall. The ground was covered with dust, but no clods of soil were seen.
"Hey, there's something there." Gu Nianhua pointed at a corner and shouted loudly.
The four people immediately gathered around and found the missing jade purification bottle on the Guanyin statue.
Uncle Jiu picked up the jade purification bottle and saw that the jade purification bottle was made of clay, but the internal space was not small. He tried to turn the mouth of the bottle and shook it.
There is nothing but some broken soil.
But there was a burst of fragrant breath, which quietly spread from the mouth of the bottle and spread to the surroundings as he shook.
"Back off!"
Uncle Jiu shouted alertly.
But when I smell this smell, I don't feel any discomfort in my body. On the contrary, I feel that my breathing is smoother and my body feels much lighter.
Xu Ping felt something familiar from this smell.
Among the few people present, he was the only one who had ever been exposed to the power of incense. He immediately recognized that the liquid in this jade bottle must have been influenced by incense.
Thinking of the leader of the White Lotus Sect, after arriving in Nanyue, Tianji Pan was unable to track his aura...
Could it be related to what was previously contained in this jade purification bottle?
Thinking about it, absorbing the contents of the Jade Pure Bottle is not an easy task for the leader.
Perhaps out of panic, perhaps because he thought it was no longer useful, he threw the jade purification bottle away casually.
Seeing Xu Ping deep in thought, Uncle Jiu asked: "Xiao Xu, what did you find?"
"I suspect that the reason why the leader of the White Lotus Sect was able to shield the Tianji Disk is related to the contents of this bottle..." Xu Ping said his analysis, looked at the three people in front of him, and sighed: "We are still a step too late.
."
"No!"
“It’s not too late!”
Master Dinghu suddenly spoke, took the jade purification bottle from Uncle Jiu's hand, and said with a smile: "If it is true as Xiao Xu said, then we can find the whereabouts of the devil based on this jade purification bottle."
Xu Ping asked: "Shall we look for it?"
Dinghu Master felt that he had regained his face and said proudly: "Water has no permanent shape, and this jade purification bottle is made of clay. Although it seems useless, if you dissolve this jade purification bottle in water and re-refine it, it can pass
Use the refined liquid to search for the whereabouts of the devil using the heavenly disc."
