Zen Master Kongming said lightly, his tone seemed to be disdainful.
Turning around, he looked at the crowd again, "Fellow Taoists, I would like to ask you to testify later. If the mysterious person mentioned by Taoist Zhang cannot bring back the Bodhi beads, then what happened to kill Lao Ji's nephew..."
"Please ask Taoist Zhang to give an explanation to Fahua Temple."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the surrounding darkness, there were figures, all holding swords and fire sticks, looking at everyone with evil eyes, surrounding the courtyard.
"Zen Master Kongming, I didn't kill your nephew."
"Not me either."
"..."
Zen Master Kongming closed his eyes slightly and stopped talking. He just looked at his appearance and would not let everyone leave.
Seeing that he and others were surrounded by the monks from Fahua Temple, Zhang Fengyi couldn't help but worry a little. If that expert really couldn't bring the Bodhi beads back, or might not come back at all.
I am really in a bad situation!
As for the identity of that mysterious master, he has yet to figure it out.
I just felt that the voice was a bit familiar, quite similar to the young man I met two days ago...
impossible!
How could that young man have such a high level of cultivation?
"call out--"
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound in the night sky.
Zen Master Kongming felt that he was locked by the Qi machine, so he hurriedly took out the jade plate under the monk's robe to protect his chest.
With a "ding dong" sound, a bodhi bead shot out hit the jade plate, and the sound of the collision between the two was crisp and long, slowly swinging away.
The Bodhi beads were still rotating at high speed, rubbing against the jade plate and making a heart-wrenching sound.
"Bodhi beads!"
"The master is back."
Zhang Fengyi felt happy and looked attentively.
Although the bodhi bead is spinning, it is not difficult to find that there is a white lotus in full bloom carved on it.
The people on the side were instantly in an uproar.
"Ah! It's really Bailian."
"Daozhang Zhang did not lie to us."
"Zen Master Kongming, what's your explanation?"
The old monk Kong Ming looked shocked, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw. His right hand that controlled the jade plate was hanging in the air, and he began to tremble slightly.
"Who, who..."
The sound coming from his throat was a bit astringent, like an old bellows.
"call out--"
The Bodhi Bead was taken back by Xu Ping, and then he slowly walked out from behind Zhang Fengyi, with a smile on his face.
"It's really you!"
Zhang Fengyi looked surprised and horrified. He never expected that this mysterious person in the dark was actually this young man.
It seems to be called Xu Ping!
Sure enough, there is no real person under the great reputation.
"Ah, I recognize him. His name is Xu Ping."
"Xu Ping?"
"The one who killed Senior Brother Maoshan and still got together with Master Dinghu."
For a time, Xu Ping's name was deeply imprinted on everyone's minds.
Xu Ping held a Bodhi bead in his hand, stopped a few steps in front of the old monk, raised it and placed it under the moonlight so that everyone could see it clearly.
"Zen Master Kongming, what else do you have to say?"
Zen Master Kongming suddenly seemed to have aged many years. His already withered face now looked lifeless, like a mummy.
He stared at the Bodhi bead in Xu Ping's hand for a long time, then suddenly laughed wildly, "Hahaha, I see..."
"This young hero has punished rape and eliminated evil in our Fahua Temple. I would like to thank you here."
"Daozhang Zhang, it seems that I wrongly blamed you, and I hope to atone for my sin!"
Immediately afterwards, he turned to look at the monks and shouted: "Amitabha, if you still don't retreat, you must not be rude to the distinguished guests."
After this combination of punches, everyone was instantly confused. The situation that had been tense just now actually seemed very funny now.
"Ah this..."
Zhang Fengyi was also stunned for a moment. He stared at it for a long time and couldn't tell what the old monk meant.
Was he really deceived?
Among the people present, there may be some who believe it, but he firmly does not believe it.
Could it be that the old monk saw it... Xu Ping was a little surprised. There was no white lotus on this bodhi bead.
But after hearing Zhang Fengyi's words just now, he immediately came up with a plan, took out the carving knife hidden in the bottomless pit, and carved a lotus flower on the bodhi bead.
The craftsmanship inherited from the ancestors will never fail, the lotus carving is lifelike, and with the enveloping of zhenqi, it looks quite decent.
It’s just that he really doesn’t understand what Zen Master Kongming saw and why he suddenly admitted it openly.
Seeing that many monks were about to retreat, Xu Ping suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Masters, please stay one step."
All the monks at Fahua Temple turned around in confusion, and even Zen Master Kongming looked at Xu Ping in confusion.
"Since everyone is here, why not let this matter be settled tonight..." Xu Ping said loudly, and finally looked at Zen Master Kongming, "Everyone, please wait for a while. I believe it won't take long to find the person." The devil of the White Lotus Sect."
Zen Master Kongming's eyes became deep and dangerous, "Donor Xu, what do you mean by this?"
"Because the devil of the White Lotus Sect is among us."
Xu Ping replied.
His avatar had already gone down the mountain to send a message, asking Master Dinghu in the mountain forest and Jiu Shu's master and apprentice in the City God's Temple to leave and come here.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, they couldn't believe it.
Zen Master Kongming sneered, "Amitabha, is it possible that fellow Taoist Xu is trying to provoke us? What is his intention?"
After a few words, he pointed the finger at Xu Ping.
"Ha~"
Xu Ping sneered: "Master Kongming, it would be a pity if you don't become an opera actor."
After saying that, he ignored the other party's liver-colored face and said to everyone: "The right and wrong will come to light later, just wait."
"Now, no one is allowed to leave, and I will kill anyone who leaves!"
Xu Ping's tone suddenly became cold, and he raised his palms to the sky, like gushing spring water. Paper figures rushed out from his palms and landed in all directions, surrounding the entire Fahua Temple.
"whee……"
Weird laughter sounded frequently, and paper figures wearing blush and pigtails were everywhere.
At a glance, these paper figures exude a pale cold light under the moonlight.
That is a manifestation of the condensation of Yin Qi, and the source of Yin Qi is the Ghost Evil Pearl obtained by Xu Ping.
With the nourishment of yin energy, every paper man who appears in Fahua Temple is not easy to deal with.
This weird scene immediately frightened everyone, and no one dared to move casually. Although they were naturally able to defeat the paper figures, if so many paper figures rushed over, they would only end up being dismembered.
Paper-tying technique?!
How could someone control so many paper figures at once?
Won't he be killed by the backlash?
What happened in front of him was beyond the scope of Zen Master Kongming's understanding. He originally thought that no matter how bad the situation was, as long as he killed Yuan Ben, all problems would be solved.
But he never expected that the situation would change rapidly and he would already be in a dangerous situation.
This is probably an army of paper figures... Among the spells recorded in Longhu Mountain, there are also similar spells for manipulating paper figures.
But there are so many!
Even a practitioner who specializes in paper figurines and can control hundreds of paper figurines at one time is considered a great master and the best among them.
Looking at Xu Ping in front of him, he now realized how clear his decision was not to be his enemy.
"Eh?!"
"Why are there so many paper figures, Xiao Xu? Did you make them?"
Outside Fahua Temple, the voice of Master Dinghu came.
Xu Ping controlled the paper man to get out of the way, and the slovenly Taoist priest walked in, patted Xu Ping on the shoulder, and exclaimed: "Awesome, one person picked off the entire Fahua Temple..."
As he said that, he saw the elites of various sects who had the same bitter look on their faces, and changed his words: "No, one person picked half of the practice circle."
At the end, I added: "Except us, Maoshan."
Zhang Fengyi felt like crying when he heard his sarcastic words, "Brother Dinghu Taoist, I am ignorant and blind. I attacked you before. Now I see you again, Taoist brother, I am really ashamed."
"snort!"
He remembered that Zhang Fengyi had just taken action against him and put him in danger. If he hadn't been rescued by Xu Ping, he might have been dealing with the Lord of Hell by now.
Master Dinghu snorted coldly, turned around and ignored him, walked straight to Xu Ping, and asked: "Xiao Xu, what's going on now?"
Xu Ping pointed to the small gourd on his waist and said, "Just wait for the real man to come and find out who the devil is?"
Master Dinghu nodded and pulled the gourd from his waist. Seeing everyone's curious faces, he introduced them to them...
The object of Xu Ping's suspicion must be Zen Master Kongming. Both his age and his Taoism are very consistent.
As for Yuan Ben who died on the ground, he must have followed his orders. There is nothing to say about this.
But from the beginning to the end, the master of the sky has never appeared, which is also very suspicious.
Master Dinghu had analyzed it for him before. The reason why they came to Fahua Temple was because Elder Che of the Xingyi Sect said that they had a good relationship with Fahua Temple, and in order to stay hidden, everyone just needed such a place to stay.
.
But after arriving at Fahua Temple, Master Dinghu felt something was wrong. Gu Nianhua was the only woman, but she was molested by the monks of Fahua Temple for no reason, causing conflicts.
This is not the way to treat guests at all. Even if Master Yuanmoto is the flower monk, it is impossible for him to be so indifferent to the occasion.
Then Yuan Ben came out and killed Gu Nianhua, which completely aroused the conflict, leading to Mao Shan, one of the leaders, to run away completely.
It's like being led by the nose all the time, and every step is carefully calculated by others.
Therefore, Xu Ping thought of verifying the whereabouts of the devil in front of everyone. If the other party is really here, it will prove that Master Dinghu's conjecture is true.
"Everyone, what is in this gourd is a trace of incense extracted from the jade bottle. As long as you put it into the heavenly secret disk, you will definitely find the devil." Master Dinghu held up the gourd and shouted.
"good!"
"Please, Masato, please start quickly!"
"I'm ready to kill!"
Everyone shouted loudly. Surrounded by paper figures, they felt palpitated and wished to resolve the matter as soon as possible and escape from the sea of misery.
As for the slightest doubt...could it be nonsense...it's just a trap...
They have never thought at all that now it is everyone who fights for the flesh and blood, and it doesn't matter what the other party says.
It's important to save your life.
After listening to what Master Dinghu said, Zhang Fengyi hurriedly took out the Tianji Disk from his arms and said with a smile: "Brother Dinghu, it turns out that this is why you came to me tonight."
He smiled somewhat flatteringly, even to please, because he wanted to ease the relationship between the two of them.
Master Dinghu glanced at him angrily and scolded him directly: "You are such a bully, you are indiscriminate. If you were not forced to do anything, you should keep such an important matter a little more secret. Not all Fahua Temple is a good person."
Aren't you also a bull-nosed person... Zhang Fengyi didn't dare to say that, so he just smiled and apologized, "What brother Taoist said is absolutely true. It's because Fengyi is ignorant and can't distinguish between good and bad."
Xu Ping looked around at everyone's expressions and found that the old monk Kong Ming was like an old monk in meditation, with no expression on his face.
"Strange, why is he not afraid at all, or does he have something to rely on?"
"Or maybe he isn't?!"
Xu Ping frowned slightly and glanced at the two old Taoists. Zhang Fengyi nodded heavily, placed the Heavenly Secret Disk in front of him, poured out the turbid liquid from the gourd, and poured it on the Heavenly Secret Disk...
The turbid muddy water was poured on the Tianji Disk, and the scent of incense contained in it was instantly stimulated by the Tianji Disk, lighting up a yellow light as thick as a hair.
The yellow light was like a crack, inlaid on the white jade-like Heavenly Secret Disk, and it followed Taoist Zhang Fengyi's activation of the Heavenly Secret Disk.
The sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers depicted on the celestial disk came to life in an instant, slowly rotating around the strip of yellow light on the palm-sized jade surface.
Instantly.
A clear light shot straight into the night sky, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime.
The moon disk, buried deep under the dark clouds, looked like a shy girl, showing her shy face. Under the moonlight, everyone present seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost.
Immediately afterwards, the yellow light on the Heaven's Secret Disk became brighter, and the hair-like light extended out from the Heaven's Secret Disk, and in mid-air, like a blood-eating poisonous snake, slowly floated towards the crowd.
Zen Master Kongming smiled and recited the Buddha's name softly: "Amitabha!"
"Huh?"
Xu Ping groaned and frowned slightly.
The position where the yellow light floated was getting farther and farther away from Zen Master Kongming, and was heading towards the key elites of several sects.
They are all here to hunt down the leader of the White Lotus Sect. If it is said that the leader of the White Lotus Sect is hiding among these people, although it is a bit absurd, it is also reasonable.
Can……
Could it be that I guessed wrongly that Zen Master Kongming is really a good person?
Everything that happened before his eyes seemed to confirm that Zen Master Kongming was not a bad person.
The real bad guys are hidden among the masses, very deep and invisible.
"The guidance from the Tianji Disk must be correct!" Zhang Fengyi noticed Xu Ping's expression and said with certainty.
Master Dinghu also felt strange, but he kept walking and followed the ray of yellow light directly behind him. No matter who the yellow light was pointing at, he had to control it first.
Yellow light floated towards the crowd in front of their eyes. Everyone looked at each other and subconsciously began to spread out, keeping a safe distance from the people around them.
Whether they know each other or not.
At this moment, everyone began to become distrustful.
Just because everyone understands that the devil has the ability to change his appearance and shape into the appearance of anyone.
