The bright white moonlight fell on the Tianjin Bridge, and the surroundings were silent for a while, except for the gurgling Luoshui River.
No matter the concubine Xuan on the bridge or the Dugu Clan people under the bridge, they all stood with bated breath at this moment, looking at Meng Xiuyuan anxiously.
Now that the outcome has been decided, even the four great holy monks have all fallen. Facing this peerless swordsman who seems to have come from the dust, it is really difficult for them to have the heart to challenge.
How things will end next is solely determined by Meng Xiuyuan.
"Mr. Meng..."
Concubine Xuan looked at Meng Xiuyuan and hesitated for a long time. She wanted to say some words of advice as usual, but as soon as she uttered a few words, she couldn't help but choked.
In fact, judging from the current situation of both parties, she was not qualified to say anything more to Meng Xiuyuan, regardless of emotion, reason, or power. She could only look deeply at him with pleading eyes.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard the sound, he only glanced at Master Concubine Xuan, then ignored her, and walked straight to the four holy monks on the ground beside him, and asked directly
"I wonder what the four masters plan to do after today?"
The four monks had almost exhausted their energy and energy in just one move. At this moment, they all looked a bit slumped and old. However, the four monks had advanced realms after all, so even though they were sitting slumped on the ground, they still did not change their masterly demeanor.
.
"Dreams are empty flowers, why bother to catch them. Gains and losses are right and wrong, it is better to let them go.
Today, Master Meng not only defeated people with his strength, but also convinced them with his reason.
Those remarks about Buddhism and the people of the world are really thought-provoking.
The four of us have fulfilled our duties as members of the Buddhist sect tonight. Since we have lost, we will not cause any more trouble to Benefactor Meng..."
Zen Master Jiaxiang was covered in dust and looked miserable, but his expression remained as calm as before when he spoke.
"It's good, it's good, what Senior Brother Jiaxiang said is true.
As long as it is beneficial to all sentient beings in the world, moving is a Buddha, and stillness is also a Buddha.
As a disciple of Buddhism, Lao Na has tried his best to stop Meng Benefactor today.
After returning to the mountain, the mountain gate will be closed immediately to prevent the disciples of the Tiantai Sect from getting involved in the disputes of the world. They can cultivate the land in the temple and chant sutras, and then practice meditation quietly after earning their own living..."
Master Wisdom said with his head lowered and his eyebrows lowered, while Dao Xin nodded in agreement, indicating that he had the same idea.
Among the four monks, only the Venerable Emperor Xin, who was tall and mighty and had an elegant temperament, kept silent and had a solemn look on his face, as if he had some different thoughts in his mind.
Seeing this, although Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised, he did not get angry in a hurry, but just said calmly.
"Master Emperor Xin has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Emperor Xin did not hesitate and spoke calmly.
"The demon gate is like a tarsal maggot that cannot be eradicated. Even with the astonishing power of Benefactor Meng, I am afraid it will still be difficult to root it out.
Lao Na was ordered by his predecessors to lead the Huayan Sect to fight against it from generation to generation to prevent it from harming all living beings.
Therefore, even if Lao Na is defeated at the hands of Donor Meng today, he still agrees with Donor’s point of view of ‘Buddhism and the people’, but it is really difficult to guarantee that the mountain will not come out...”
As soon as Venerable Emperor Xin said this, the expressions of the remaining three monks beside him changed slightly and they looked at him with concern. The master concubine Xuan at the side couldn't help but exclaimed softly, her eyes full of worry.
However, Venerable Emperor Xin himself seemed to have no regard for his own life and death, and still looked calm as he continued to speak.
"The key point in what Benefactor Meng said is that there are too many Buddhist disciples in the world, and the power of Buddhism is too strong, which has given rise to arrogance, extravagance and debauchery, which has hindered the hard work and support of the people.
In this case, when I, a disciple of the Huayan Sect, go out to slay demons in the future, I will disguise myself and hide my identity as a Buddhist disciple. I will only act secretly with my hidden identity, and I will never seek any benefit for myself.
Such rules are recorded in the rules of Huayan Temple and teach generations of disciples to swear an oath with the heart of Buddha before entering the temple.
Donor Meng, do you think that’s okay?”
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. Then he saw that Venerable Emperor Xin's expression was calm and did not seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
You must know that martial arts in this world are closely related to spiritual will, and vows cannot be made casually.
Meng Xiuyuan was quite surprised that Venerable Emperor Xin could say such words.
Thinking back to the fight just now, from beginning to end, no matter whether the four monks were at an advantage or disadvantage, they never killed Meng Xiuyuan, even after Meng Xiuyuan declared that he would use tonight's battle to destroy the reputation of Buddhism and hinder the development of Buddhism.
, there is no trace of violence in their moves.
Obviously, regardless of the status of the four Buddhist leaders, in terms of themselves, these four masters are all rare and charitable people. Although it is not clear whether they are completely worthy of the title of "holy monks", they can at least "qualify".
He can still be called an eminent Taoist monk.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiuyuan no longer wanted to embarrass them, he bowed his hands towards the four monks, then immediately turned to look at the master concubine and said:
"Master, that's all for today.
If Cihang Jianzhai still needs help from any experts, you might as well come to me and challenge me again.
If not, please tell your respected master to come and see me in person..."
After saying this, Meng Xiuyuan immediately turned around and walked towards the Tianjin Bridge without waiting for the concubine to reply.
"Amitabha……"
Master Feixuan was speechless after hearing Meng Xiuyuan's words. Instead, the four holy monks looked at Meng Xiuyuan's retreating figure and shouted the Buddha's name in a low voice, as if to see Meng Xiuyuan off and to express their admiration and gratitude.
Meaning.
Everyone on the Dugu clan on the ship didn't dare to take a breath when they saw this, for fear that Meng Xiuyuan would discover them, so they just wished that Meng Xiuyuan would leave as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Meng Xiuyuan took a few steps and suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned to look under the bridge and said to the two Dugu Valve ships on the Luoshui River.
"By the way, Mrs. You, it seems we haven't finished talking just now..."
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said these words, everyone in the Dugu Clan felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Even though they were all highly skilled in martial arts, their bodies could not help but tremble slightly and their feet were unsteady.
Only You Chuhong could barely hold on, gritted her teeth and stood up, forcing herself to speak in response.
"Mr. Meng's magical power is unparalleled, I admire him.
If you have any grudges, you can just retaliate to me alone. Please don’t implicate the ignorant juniors..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing the unparalleled battle just now, where Meng Xiuyuan single-handedly defeated the four great holy monks of Buddhism, You Chuhong no longer had any luck.
Listening to his response, it was obvious that the Dugu Clan did not even care about the last dignity of the Four Great Clan, and only hoped to sacrifice his own life to allow the Dugu Clan to survive today's catastrophe.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he did not take action directly. He only asked again with a normal expression.
"Don't be anxious, Madam You. I have something else to ask you.
If I am just a person with mediocre martial arts, and I was lucky enough to get the Heshi Bi, then how will the noble clan deal with me today in order to seize the treasure?"
Although Meng Xiuyuan said these words in a low voice, he used his true energy, and every word shot into You Chuhong's mind like a knife, causing cold sweat to flow down her back immediately.
You Chuhong knew that Meng Xiuyuan's spiritual cultivation was higher than hers, and it would be impossible for her to lie in front of him, so she simply hesitated and told the truth.
"He's Bi is something that I, the Dugu Clan, must definitely obtain. If possible, I will never allow it to be left in the hands of others.
If Mr. Meng's strength is mediocre, we will definitely seize the treasure by force.
However, we will not kill you, but we will abolish the young master's martial arts, restrain him, and send you, the treasure thief, to Cihang Jingzhai to improve the relationship with him..."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the words. He could tell that the old lady was telling the truth, so he immediately responded.
"Thank you, Mrs. You, for your honesty. If that's the case, let's just deal with it this way."
"What?!"
"Grandma is the number one master of our Dugu Clan. Martial arts is related to the life and death of our Dugu Clan and cannot be abolished..."
"Mr. Meng, please give me a large amount of your Majesty, let's change the punishment..."
"I am willing to be punished for my grandma, and I ask Mr. Meng for your permission..."
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said this, everyone in the Dugu clan couldn't help but burst into an uproar. Although they knew that today's disaster was sad, they still couldn't accept it when they heard that Meng Xiuyuan wanted to abolish You Chuhong's martial arts.
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and explained.
"Perhaps everyone has misunderstood. What I am referring to is not just Mrs. You, but also everyone present.
If you don't want to do it, I can do it for you."
Hearing Meng Xiuyuan's words again, everyone in the noisy Dugu Clan fell silent instantly. They all looked at Meng Xiuyuan in disbelief. Unexpectedly, this kind young man who had spared the four holy monks just now would actually say this.
Common words come.
After a long while, I saw You Chuhong looking at Meng Xiuyuan with burning eyes, gritting her teeth and saying
"Mr. Meng, is your punishment too cruel?
Those here today are almost all the masters of my Dugu clan.
If you abolish all their martial arts, then even if our Dugu Clan will not be wiped out immediately, it will inevitably decline rapidly.
The four holy monks fought with you with all their strength, but you have not yet damaged their foundations.
I, the Dugu Clan, have only had a few fights with you through Feng'er, why do you need to kill them all like this?"
Meng Xiuyuan chuckled lightly when he heard this and replied to You Chuhong
"I have always heard of the reputation of the Dugu Clan as being domineering.
And seeing how unscrupulous your clan is in dealing with me today, I'm afraid you do a lot of bullying on a daily basis, right?
I dare to ask you, have you ever kindly let the innocent people who have offended you in the past and not made things difficult for them?
And if I don't do well in martial arts today, I'm afraid my skills will be exhausted and I will end up in a miserable state.
If this is the case, why should I forgive you?"
Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan paused for a moment, and his eyes suddenly glanced at the people on the Dugu clan on the ship, and there was a faint light in his eyes.
"If there is anyone among you who has never bullied others or harmed innocent people in your life, please come forward and I will never offend you."
Meng Xiuyuan shouted in a low voice, which shocked everyone in the Dugu clan into a daze. The voice full of spiritual power came, making it difficult for any of them to take a step forward confidently.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan no longer wanted to talk to the Dugu Clan and the others, and immediately tiptoed towards the two boats below from the Tianjin Bridge.
"No!"
You Chuhong reacted the fastest. He immediately flew up from the ship and headed straight towards Meng Xiuyuan, waving the iron staff in his hand sharply.
This old lady is worthy of the title of the number one master of the Dugu Clan. She is considered to be a martial arts master in the world. Her cultivation level is worthy of her reputation and is above that of You Niaojuan and other demons from the Demon Sect.
However, at this moment, she was so eager to protect her child that she jumped up to fight Meng Xiuyuan head-on. This was really unwise and put her in an extremely passive situation.
With Meng Xiuyuan's full palm, the old lady was immediately thrown back into the ship like a cannonball. The impact caused dust and smoke to fly everywhere, sawdust flew away, and a large ship was almost broken in the middle.
When Concubine Xuan from afar saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh, and then she realized that Meng Shaoxia, who was always holding hands, actually had such a decisive side.
Especially when she remembered that Meng Xiuyuan was going to meet Master Fan Qinghui in person, Master Fei Xuan became even more worried. She couldn't help but look at the figure that looked like a tiger among sheep from afar, and then quickly turned back and helped the four of them.
The holy monk quietly left.
…
In the world of martial arts, news spreads very quickly.
Although no one seemed to witness the battle on the Tianjin Bridge that night, it became known to everyone within a short period of time.
The four great sage monks of Buddhism were defeated in a fierce battle, and dozens of masters of the Dugu Clan were deprived of their martial arts skills. Such a shocking thing was actually done by a young man, which is really unbelievable to everyone in the world.
But the facts are before our eyes. The Dugu Clan declined overnight, and no one with a high profile appeared again. Cihang Jingzhai's originally famous "choosing the master of He's Bi" ended silently. The original plan was aimed at Meng Xiuyuan, the thief who stole the He's Bi.
There is no further action.
These extremely abnormal things are all strong proof that everyone in the world is smart and how can they not guess the truth behind it.
So overnight, Meng Xiuyuan's popularity in the world rose to a higher level. Many people already speculated that this young master's martial arts skills were superior to those of Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, and Fu Cailin, but his fame was only short-lived.
, so the reputation has not been accumulated enough.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to the custom of the world, good people have given this peerless swordsman titles, such as "Martial Lord" Bi Xuan, "Sanren" Ning Daoqi, "
"Yijian Master" Fu Cailin is the same. When Meng Xiuyuan was mentioned, many nicknames were naturally hung in front of his name.
"Moon Sword Immortal", "Heavenly Sword", "Exiled Young Master", due to the short time, these titles have not yet reached a consensus among the people in the world. Many people have their own names and argue endlessly.
For pleasure.
As a person involved, although Meng Xiuyuan didn't care much about his title, he was happy to be discussed by everyone in the world.
After all, his biggest purpose in this battle is to damage the reputation of Buddhism. The more people in the world bring this matter up at this moment, the more cracks will appear in the unattainable image established by Buddhism in the past.
And amidst the turmoil, Meng Xiuyuan was naturally not idle either.
After resting in Luoyang City for a few days and sorting out the results of this battle, Meng Xiuyuan was ready to set off again to deal with the real enemy of the Demon Sect.
On the occasion of parting, Li Jing and Li Shimin came to the door and invited Meng Xiuyuan to a banquet at Dong's restaurant again.
If Meng Xiuyuan originally wanted to talk to the two of them, he would naturally not refuse and go ahead with the appointment.
But when Meng Xiuyuan found the restaurant, pushed the door and entered the hall, what he saw in front of him suddenly stunned him.
Just because an unexpected person quietly stood in front of him with an unexpected look.
"Brother Meng, I finally see you again!"
A familiar honest voice came, it was Zhang Yong who was born in a small restaurant in Cuishan Town and helped Meng Xiuyuan break through through a small talk in Pengcheng.
After not seeing each other for three years, this iron tower-like man not only grew taller and stronger, but also had a lot of weathered color on his face. His slightly weathered appearance seemed to be at least ten years older than Meng Xiuyuan.
What is even more eye-catching is that his left sleeve is hollow and has no arm to support it.
