Puren looked at Li Yundong and said slowly: "...However, I still want to hear from Mr. Li, why do you want to learn this eight-way demon-conquering formation?"
Li Yundong knew that it was impossible for him to ask the other party to teach him such an important magic circle layout without explaining the reasons clearly.
Just place one where you want.
Li Yundong recounted the grievances between Hu Chan Sect and Yan Fang, and then stated his plans, and finally said: "Master Puren, as the saying goes, you don't lie in front of a real person, I must catch Yan Fang, but I don't
It would hurt her life, and after much thought, I had no choice but to ask Master Puren, please teach me the eight-way demon subduing formation to trap Yan Fang. I will be grateful in the future."
Puren lowered his eyes and showed no expression on his face. He pondered for a long time before saying: "Almsgiver Li, I already understand what you said. However, this Eight Directions Demon Conquering Formation is too important for me to do.
Without this master, I cannot teach it to you."
Li Yundong expected this, and he was not discouraged, so he said: "Then can you ask Master Puren to mobilize the eight-party demon-suppressing array to help me catch Yan Fang?"
Puren still shook his head: "No."
Li Yundong frowned and asked: "Why?"
Puren said: "Yan Fang is a disciple of the Linggong Sect, the branch of the Zhengyi Sect, the first sect of Taoism. She became famous very early. The older generation of practitioners in the world know her name, and she can be regarded as a celebrity in the world of Taoism.
, if I mobilize the eight demon-conquering formations to catch her, it will give the Zhengyi Sect an excuse, and then the Buddhist and Taoist families will fight frequently again. If it is just a fight, it will be nothing more, but if the country intervenes, then it will be
It is not a blessing in the spiritual world."
Li Yundong looked disappointed: "Then is it possible to just sit back and watch Yan Fang become lawless?"
Puren clasped his hands together and sighed: "Amitabha, I can't help with this matter. However, Donor Li, you don't have to worry. As the saying goes, there will be a road when a car reaches the mountain, and when a boat reaches the bridge, it will be straight. You already have it in your hands."
With the burning finger bowl, I think by that time, I will definitely have some clever ideas to deal with Yan Fang."
Li Yundong secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: Are you kidding? Not only did the Yang Shen escape very fast, but it also quickly turned into countless consciousnesses and fled everywhere. If one of them was missed, it would be a failure. How could he have any clever tricks or ideas to deal with Yan Fang? This old monk
It’s okay if you don’t want to borrow it, but you actually used such words to prevaricate me.
Puren saw that Li Yundong's face was full of disappointment and a bitter smile. He thought for a while and then said: "Donor Li, actually you should think about it, why would I borrow this burning finger bowl at this time?"
Li Yundong suddenly felt something in his heart and asked: "Master Puren, do you also want to..."
Puren turned around and looked at each other with Master Xincheng, the abbot of Jinshan Temple. They both smiled at the same time. Puren bent down and saluted: "Amitabha, Donor Li is very understanding. It's just that you are here to understand the grievances and grievances of the sect.
We are here to capture a big devil!"
Li Yundong asked tentatively: "Two masters, which big devil are you trying to catch?"
Puren shook his head: "Donor Li, it's unreasonable to say that the Dharma is not transmitted to the six ears! But you will know when the time comes."
Li Yundong was a little unwilling and asked again: "When will it be?"
Puren thought for a while and said: "The eighth day of next month!"
"The eighth day of the Lunar New Year?" Li Yundong was stunned for a moment, but his mind soon moved and he asked again, "When is the lotus picking meeting?"
Puren and Xincheng looked at each other again, smiled at the same time, shouted the Buddha's name in unison, and said: "It's the eighth day of the next month!"
Li Yundong was suddenly shocked!
Could it be that these two old monks wanted to slay demons at the lotus picking ceremony?
No, the participants in the lotus-picking conference were all Taoist practitioners from various sects. What kind of monsters did these two old monks go to catch?
Are you going to catch the vixen under my sect?
When Li Yundong thought of this, he was slightly shocked, but he quickly thought: It shouldn't be the case. He would have been arrested long ago. Why wait until the Lotus Picking Conference to arrest him?
Li Yundong couldn't help but ask again: "Two masters, are you going to the lotus picking conference to catch some big devil?"
Puren lowered his eyes and said, "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it!"
Li Yundong couldn't help but laughed out of anger: "Master Puren, you are so mysterious, what are you doing?"
Puren still shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, if the king is not secretive, his ministers will be ruined; if the ministers are not secretive, they will be corrupted; if matters are not secretive, they will be harmed! Donor Li, don't ask anymore. Since you already have the burning finger bowl,
You should rest assured. Maybe then, we can work together to slay demons!"
After he finished speaking, he shouted the Buddha's name again and clapped his hands. After a while, a Zhike monk came out from the end of the corridor. Puren said: "Fajian, please take Donor Li to the guest room to rest. I am a little tired."
Okay, I’ve issued an eviction order!
Li Yundong had no choice but to bend down and bid farewell to Master Puren and Master Xincheng. No matter what, his trip was not in vain. Although he did not get the Eight Directions Demon Subduing Formation, he finally got the burning finger bowl. When the time comes, Yan Yan will be arrested.
Fang Yangshen finally has some confidence.
But when Li Yundong followed Zhike Monk back all the way, he was always troubled: Judging from the situation just now, it was obvious that Jinshan Temple and Xiyuan Temple were working together to capture a big devil, but what kind of big devil was this?
Woolen cloth?
Judging from the fact that he broke into Xiyuan Temple and released two big golden snakes before, these monks seem to be very intolerant of aliens? Otherwise, why would they refine these two big golden snakes?
What does these two snake monsters have to do with them? Why do these great monks have to fight against these two snake monsters?
Since snake demons cannot be tolerated in the world, what about vixens like Su Chan? Can they also not be tolerated in the world?
Logically speaking, throughout the past five thousand years, vixens have caused more harm to the world than snake spirits!
However, judging from his contact with Master Puren of Xiyuan Temple, he did not seem to show any resistance to Su Chan and others, but instead advised him to lead them to do good.
Moreover, what kind of big devil is Su Chan?
However, what if these great monks really want to capture Su Chan?
When Li Yundong thought of this, he stopped dead in his tracks, his face surprisingly solemn.
The Zhike monk who was leading the way looked back in confusion and asked, "Donor Li, what's the matter?"
Li Yundong had a cold face, and his brows were full of evil spirits. He said in a cold voice: "It's nothing. You can leave first. I will take a look at the surrounding scenery by myself."
Seeing that Li Yundong looked unkind, Zhike Monk wanted to ask a few questions, but was forced by Li Yundong's evil aura and did not dare to open his mouth. However, he was worried that Li Yundong would cause some trouble, so he responded casually and hurried to
In the backyard, report the situation to the abbot.
Li Yundong didn't know what the Zhike monk was thinking. He just stood there blankly, his eyes surprisingly cold.
This question that came to his mind before, Li Yundong was not struggling with whether to help Su Chan or not. In his opinion, no matter who in the world wants to do harm to his little girl, whether it is Tathagata Buddha or Guanyin Bodhisattva,
They all have one word: fight!
But the question is...who does the other party want to arrest? Who is this big devil? Obviously, it's not Yan Fang!
If someone else from the Fox Zen Sect is arrested, what will happen to him? If he really catches Su Chan, why?
These questions flooded into Li Yundong's mind, making him feel a little heavy for a moment. Although he was surrounded by antique temples and the scenery was beautiful and elegant, Li Yundong had no intention of admiring them at all.
While he was having a lot of thoughts in his mind, he suddenly heard the voices of two women talking not far away. The content of their words immediately caught Li Yundong's attention.
"Hey, Xia Xia, why are there so many weird people in the group you're taking this time? I've seen weird Japanese people, but never such weird Japanese people. You said, don't take pictures of the scenery with a camera?
Instead, he patted the talismans in the woods, and then patted the monks in the main hall. Do you think it's weird or not?"
"Lan Lan, you haven't seen anything weirder! Did you see those Japanese people just pointing at the Sutra Pavilion of Xiyuan Temple?"
"Saw it."
"You know what they say?"
"My Japanese is not as good as yours, so I don't understand it well. Xia Xia, can you tell me?"
"Hey, the Japanese pointed at the Sutra Pavilion to the little girl they brought with them and said: Ju Zhizi, you see, this is the best preserved Sutra Pavilion in the Buddhist temple in South China. It contains one of the most diverse types of sutras.
Rich, complete version, second to none in southern China, and famous throughout Asia. And do you know what that little girl said?"
"I don't know, just tell me quickly and don't keep telling me!"
"The little girl asked: Why are other temples much older than Xiyuan Temple not as rich in Buddhist scriptures as Xiyuan Temple?"
"Yes, this little girl asked an interesting question! Although Xiyuan Temple is old, there are much older temples in our country!"
"Listen to me! Then the old man said: Ju Zhizi, this country experienced a terrible catastrophe forty years ago. This catastrophe was no less than the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucian scholars during the Qin Dynasty. In this catastrophe
, many temples and Taoist temples in mainland China were destroyed, and a large number of scriptures were burned. However, the then abbot of Xiyuan Temple, Master Mingkai, led the monks to fight back and guarded the temple gate day and night, thus protecting Xiyuan Temple.
of Tibetan scriptures."
"Tsk, tsk, this Japanese devil knows a lot about our country's history! I don't even know these things."
"Yes, I often bring teams to Xiyuan Temple. Even I don't know that these Japanese people know everything about them. Do you think it's strange? And there is something even stranger!"
"What else? Say it quickly!"
"Hey, the old man said again: In a while, there will be the famous Taoist Lotus Picking Conference in mainland China. Then we have to go and have a look and meet the Taoist masters. Lan Lan, what do you think of these Japanese ones?
Who are these people? I seem to have seen some of them wearing monk robes at my residence."
"Tsk, what is the Lotus Picking Conference? Aren't these people a little too weird?"
The more Li Yundong listened, the stranger he became. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. Especially when he heard the four words "Lotus Picking Conference", he finally couldn't help it. He walked behind the two women who were whispering to each other and said in a deep voice.
Said: "Hello, may I ask..."
As soon as he spoke, the two women were startled. They both turned around at the same time. The three of them looked at each other, and they were all shocked at the same time. Li Yundong and the two women blurted out in unison: "It's you?!"
