Chapter 139 The Demon Saint's Legacy
Following the voice, Zhen Guan turned his head and saw Meng Qi and Zhen Hui. A cold smile appeared on his fleshless face: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Zhending. I didn't expect to meet an 'old friend' in a foreign country. Are you okay? "
He walked straight towards Meng Qi, a layer of thin black scales appeared on his face and the back of his hands, like a human-shaped poisonous snake, with an evil aura that shocked the soul.
Meng Qi had already been tempered by demonic energy in the stupa, but he did not lose his mind at this moment. He pulled out the sword with a clang, opened his hand to "cut off the pure", and restrained his energy and mind.
"Amitabha, the poison of anger has entered the body and will never be recovered. Donor, please calm down." The young monk Hongneng proclaimed the Buddha's name. His clear voice echoed in the small temple and went straight to the bottom of his heart. It was distant and peaceful, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning awakening the charming dream of the sea of suffering.
Zhen Guan paused and glanced at Meng Qi, who looked normal but gave off a sense of extreme danger, and then at Hong Neng, who was showing mercy. After thinking about his strength, he silently carried the package and sat across from him.
Meng Qi did not take action either. Just now when Zhen Guan fully unleashed his demonic power, his momentum was terrifying. Even if it was not as good as An Guoxie and Yuan Mengzhi, it was not far behind. Judging from the confrontation between Qi and Qi, his strength was probably around the Eight Apertures, but there was no thunderstorm. The upper limit of your own life.
Therefore, although Meng Qi wanted to know how Zhen Guan got involved with the demons and ghosts in the back mountain, the origin of the secret passage, and whether he had anything to do with his senior brother Zhen Chang, he still suppressed his impulse to avoid hurting both sides - Gu Changqing With Zhenhui by his side, Meng Qi felt that he was not afraid of losing his strength completely, but that might not be able to grasp the true view. If he was seriously injured and encountered a horse bandit who still "didn't know the truth" at the time, problems would arise.
How could his strength grow so fast... Meng Qi was secretly surprised that he had had the adventure and exchange in the world of reincarnation, but so far he had only opened four orifices, and when he had achieved a small success in accumulating Qi, he had not yet had the method to cultivate the True Concept. , now, he is almost as strong as the Eight Apertures. Could this be the gain of transforming into a half-demon body as the master said? However, in this case, there must be great hidden dangers. It is probably better to gather all the good deeds and let the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation infuse the eight orifices at once.
Zhenhui glanced at Zhenguan, looking very curious but afraid to ask. She looked at Meng Qi from time to time, expecting the "omnipotent" senior brother to speak.
"Amitabha, all living beings are empty. The benefactor is burdened with murderous karma, so why bother adding to the sins?" Hongneng pronounced the Buddha's name again, looking at the package carried by Zhen Guan with solemn eyes and implicit compassion.
Zhen Guan let out a hey, and opened the package with a slightly dazed expression, revealing two lime-pickled heads inside. The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was happy: "They killed my parents and destroyed my family. Today is just a cycle of cause and effect. When there is This is retribution! Only eighteen of the seventy-two heads were picked, and there are still fifty-four!"
"Amitabha, when is the time for retribution? The benefactor has fallen into the misery of Shura for his sins. Why not let go of his obsession and follow the poor monks to build a Buddhist temple in this deserted place to accumulate merit and seek liberation in the next life?" Hongneng sighed. , fulfilling the responsibility of solving the problem.
Meng Qi frowned slightly, the seventy-two bandits of Helian Mountain, the crying old man's disciple and grandson "Lidi Yama" especially have one more lineage? It is said that Zhen Guan became an orphan because of their gift. No wonder I would meet him again in the vast sea. In fact, he was bound to come here.
Hearing Hong Neng's admonition, Zhen Guan laughed loudly: "These words, Master should tell them when they massacred my parents, the cause of yesterday is the result of today. This is the teaching of the Buddha."
"Today's cause is also tomorrow's effect. Cause and effect are entangled, and it is difficult to escape. Don't you understand?" Hongneng suddenly shouted, like a bell ringing in unison, imitating the senior monks and giving a wake-up call, "Hurry up! Put down the butcher's knife, break away from cause and effect, and become a Buddha immediately!"
When it came to debating scriptures, Zhen Guan was no match for Hong Neng. Qiang Zi argued a few more words and was left speechless. He simply stopped talking and looked at the ground numbly.
Hong Neng's tongue bloomed like a lotus flower, but he failed to achieve the true vision and regretted it. He was a little discouraged for a while, closed his eyes and turned the rosary.
Seeing his performance like this, Meng Qi couldn't stop laughing. Hong Neng's previous performance made him feel like he was facing a great monk, almost ignoring his age. Now it seems that even though he has profound Buddha nature and is indifferent to the world, Hongneng, who is in his twenties, still lacks the attitude of being unfazed by favors and humiliations, and showing that everything is in vain. This expression of discouragement and arrogance is consistent with his age!
He took a breath and subconsciously pretended to be elegant and indifferent in front of Hong Neng: "Amitabha, Senior Brother Zhen Guan, when I was back on the mountain in the past, I saw you leaving the secret passage, but I was timid for a moment and didn't dare to come forward to say hello. I didn't expect that now We can meet again here.”
He started talking.
Zhenguan sneered and said: "I was expelled from the monastery. I have no dharma name for a long time and have restored my lay name. However, you can call me whatever you want. After all, it is also thanks to you, Junior Brother Zhending. If it weren't for you, , how can I get a chance and have the power of revenge? "
He did not reveal his lay name.
"Did you have an adventure the night you were kicked out of the temple?" Meng Qi asked this question casually.
Zhen Guan chuckled and said, "Do you think I will tell you?"
"The so-called adventure is just a half-demon body. The hidden dangers are huge. What's the point?" Meng Qi was not discouraged at all. As for the hidden dangers, he was speculating and exaggerating.
Zhenguan's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Of course it is meaningless to you monks who can practice, but for me, it is the only choice for revenge. Even if I fall into hell, even if I suffer day and night, I will not regret it! "
"The demonic energy of the Xiangliu clan fills the body. Every time at two o'clock in the afternoon, the body will be eaten by thousands of poisons. In winter, the body will be weak and at the mercy of others, and there will never be any hope of the path of heaven and man." Hongneng opened it again. Eyes, sincerely persuaded, "If the donor converts to my Buddha again and works with me to build a Buddhist temple in this deserted land, I will teach you the Dharma and help you get rid of evil spirits and return to the right path."
Xiang Liu? Isn't this the Hydra God from the myths and legends of my previous life? Meng Qi thought in slight shock, but when he thought about it, even Bodhidharma was there, so it was nothing.
Zhen Guan said with a smile but not a smile: "How about I come back to follow the Master after my great revenge is avenged? Then it won't be too late to practice Buddhism and accumulate virtues and eliminate sins."
"Amitabha, sin, sin, sin." Hongneng was young after all, and was speechless when asked.
Zhenguan stopped paying attention to him and turned to look at Meng Qi: "I heard that Senior Brother Zhenchang committed suicide for stealing scriptures from the Vajra Temple. Is this true?"
Shaolin Temple notified all the major sects, and the matter has spread a lot.
"Do you think I will tell you?" Meng Qi replied with the exact words, and the real things are closely related to him. There seems to be some connection between the view of truth and the real things, so it is better not to go into too much detail to avoid accidents.
"I've heard about this near Helian Mountain. Is there anything I can't say?" Zhenguan asked expressionlessly.
Meng Qi felt more and more strange, if you have nothing to do with Zhen Chang, why do you always catch this problem? So he thought about it and said, "Senior Brother Zhenyong was discovered stealing scriptures and brought out Senior Brother Zhenchang. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he committed suicide."
"Suicide..." Zhenguan repeated the word in a low voice, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Amitabha, no monsters are allowed here. Please come in, two benefactors." Hongneng spoke to the outside of the temple again.
Meng Qi was greatly amazed by Hong Neng's power of induction. He had already opened his four orifices, but in such a sandstorm, he couldn't sense what was happening outside, but he could!
But why is it a monster again? Apart from the stupa, I have encountered the most monsters today in my life!
Although it is said that there are many great monsters hidden in the depths of the vast sea, and some dangerous places are even the residence of monsters, but this is not the deep place. Wait, the Tanhan landform is complicated, and it is said that there is a dangerous place?
Zhenhui looked at the door again with sharp eyes and whispered: "Senior brother, could it be a fox demon? Brother Gu, reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant fragrance is very suitable for you."
He has no sexual thoughts of his own, it is purely a child's curiosity.
Um, have I already started telling him fairy tales? Meng Qi thought with some unclear memory.
The temple door was pushed open with a creak, and a man and a woman walked in. Regardless of men, women, old or young, their eyes were almost always attracted to the girl. She was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, a naturally pouted mouth, and a gorgeous red face. There is a charm from the bottom of the heart in the charming and naive, pure and sexy at the same time. Cun, when it comes to appearance, Meng Qi has seen that only Jiang Zhiwei and Gu Xiaosang can compare with her. As for the level of attractiveness, the refreshing Jiang Zhiwei and the quirky Gu Xiaosang are half a step behind her. Of course, everyone has their own tastes, and Meng Qi is not a good one.
He must be a fox demon... The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched.
"Human?" The old man had gray hair and a bookish air about him, but when he saw Meng Qi and the others, he looked like he wanted to eat people.
"Uncle Wen, the Master allows us to temporarily avoid the sandstorm, so we have to act as guests." The girl said in a clear voice.
Uncle Wen nodded and turned to look at Zhenguan: "Which venerable member of the Xiangliu clan instilled the body for you?"
"It's the Nine Yuan Demon Lord." Facing the orthodox demon clan, Zhen Guan's demonic energy was suppressed and he looked quite respectful.
"Nine Yuan Demon Lord? Wasn't he suppressed in the back mountains of Shaolin? Are you from Shaolin?" The girl asked with a curious face and a pair of starry eyes.
Zhenguan answered honestly: "Yes, your master is from Tianhaiyuan?"
"Are you going to join us in Tianhaiyuan?" The girl asked with a smile without answering.
Uncle Wen coughed: "There are many people with mixed opinions, let's talk about it later when we find a chance."
Even if the sound is transmitted secretly, there is still a risk of being eavesdropped, especially the young monk above, who cannot see clearly.
The girl made a sound and sat aside sadly. After a while, she became lively again. She looked at Meng Qi and others and asked Zhen Guan: "There are also monks among them. Could it be that they are also from Shaolin?"
Of course, Zhen Guan would not hide anything from Meng Qi and Zhen Hui. He pointed at the two of them and said, "They are direct descendants of Shaolin."
After hearing the news about Zhenchang, they naturally also heard about Xuanbei bringing two of his descendants to the Vajra Temple to question him.
"A direct descendant of Shaolin?" The girl showed her teeth slightly and looked at Meng Qi with a seductive smile, "You carry a sword and hold a sword, but you learned Ananda's sword-breaking technique and Bodhidharma's sword technique?"
This guy’s guess makes no sense! Meng Qi sneered. Although the only sword technique available at Shaolin's exterior level was the Ananda Pojie Sword Technique, there were still many sword techniques in the enlightenment stage, not to mention the sword techniques. Why would you just guess what Ananda Pojie Knife Technique was? Bodhidharma swordsmanship? Do I just look awesome?
Naturally, Meng Qi would not answer this kind of question, but he suddenly forgot about Zhen Hui next to him, and he answered honestly: "Senior brother has never learned swordsmanship, and the long sword is just a trophy, but Ananda knows the swordsmanship of breaking the precept."
Monks do not lie.
The girl's expression suddenly changed, she stood up and shouted sternly:
"The Demon Saint has decreed that those who practice Ananda's sword-breaking skills will be punished by the demon!"
Let me go, who did I offend? Meng Qi was full of injustice.
For some reason, his mind suddenly flashed back to the scene when he received the true meaning of Ananda's sword technique. At that time, under the words "Loyalty, kindness, and benevolence, do not enter this door", there was an unreachable small hole, and there seemed to be an indescribable flame burning inside. Next to it, there were tiny words engraved:
"Those who are unfaithful and ungrateful will be killed!"
