Abbot Xujing sighed: "Life and death have to be like this."

He waved.

Several young disciples in the Main Hall ran out, and soon several stretchers were brought over, with corpses lying on them.

Judging from their attire, they should all be elder-level core disciples of Tianxuan Temple.

Abbot Xujing pointed to the corpses and said: "In Tianxuan Temple, the first seat of the Discipline Hall is empty; the first seat of the Lecture Hall is empty; the eight deacons of the Supervisory Academy and the twelve people in the hall were all killed by the four great monks of Dakong Temple."

Not many bodies were moved in.

But Xujing describes a lot of people.

When he said this, his mood seemed very calm, and he seemed to be indifferent to life and death.

Lu Zhou said: "Dakong Temple and Tianxuan Temple belong to the same lineage. Why does Dakong Temple even kill its own family members?"

"It's a long story..."

Abbot Xujing said slowly, "Since Master Kongxuan of Dakong Temple left seclusion, Dakong Temple has changed its attitude of not caring about worldly affairs... It claims to educate all living beings and save the world. Tianxuan Temple and Dakong Temple have always been in harmony with each other. However,

…”

He paused and then said, "Kong Xuan of Dakong Temple died suddenly...Dakong Temple insisted that it was Lao Na who did it."

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and listened to him.

He still had fresh memories of the Runan altar.

However, he did not expect that this incident would trigger a conflict between Dakong Temple and Tianxuan Temple.

"I can't argue with you... In addition, there are many famous and righteous people who have witnessed the holy altar. Dakong Temple took this opportunity to launch an attack... Tianxuan Temple is no longer what it used to be, so how can it stop the four great monks?" Abbot Xu Jing said.

Lu Zhou said:

"So you thought of Motian Pavilion?"

"good."

Abbot Xujing bowed slightly, "I heard that the relationship between Dakong Temple and Motian Pavilion is very bad... I have no choice now. More than a thousand people in the temple have lost their lives, so I have to make this move. If Motian Pavilion removes the four great monks,

Not only did I offer the black magnolia lotus and precious Zen clothes, but I will also bow to the Demon Sky Pavilion from now on!"

Ming Shiyin and others were slightly startled.

How courageous do you have to make this choice?

In this hot world, there is no coexistence between good and evil.

Buddhism has always been neutral. Once involved, it means that Tianxuan Temple will also face the crusade of the righteous way.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said: "You are the abbot of Tianxuan Temple. You have always been close to the righteous path. Now you choose to surrender to the devil's path...are you not afraid of the ridicule of the world?"

Abbot Xujing snorted, rather unwillingly, and said: "One thought will make you a Buddha, and one thought will make you a demon."

He recalled the scene where many righteous people from Jingmingdao and Zhengyi denounced him.

He recalled the scene where the four great monks of Dakong Temple mercilessly killed the disciples of Tianxuan Temple.

He recalled the scene where banners saying "Bald Donkey Damn" of Tianxuan Temple were hung everywhere in Jingzhou City.

Compared to these…

How could Motian Pavilion ever fail Tianxuan Temple?

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Zhu Hong once took away the precious Zen robe from Tianxuan Temple. Don't you bear any grudge?"

"If the treasured Zen robe had been left in Tianxuan Temple, I'm afraid it would have been taken away by Dakong Temple long ago... It is a blessing to be left in the hands of donors now," Abbot Xu Jing said.

When Zhu Hong heard this, he was very happy and said, "I asked you why you didn't take off my clothes... so that's what happened."

Ming Shiyin: "..."

Duanmusheng: "..."

Lu Zhou glanced at Zhu Honggong beside him and said: "The famous righteous sects in the world may not all be Pure Brightness and Zhengyi... Why don't you ask them for help?"

Abbot Xujing replied:

"There are many righteous ways in the world...but few can truly compare with Dakong Temple. Besides, it is better to do less than to do more. Who would provoke Dakong Temple because of Tianxuan Temple?"

"Even so, how can you be sure that Motian Pavilion will intervene?"

Having said that.

It was quiet inside the Main Hall.

The disciples in Tianxuan Temple all stood upright, but no one interrupted.

Abbot Xujing said: "There are three reasons: first, Black Mulian; second, I know that Kong Xuan was killed by Motian Pavilion; third, Bao Chan Yi..."

The presiding abbot is not stupid either, he has a very clear mind and is very organized.

Ming Shiyin couldn't help but want to applaud him.

Lu Zhou said: "Well said."

After a pause, he continued: "If Motian Pavilion chooses to side with Dakong Temple, what will you do?"

Xu Jing: "..."

The disciples in the main hall were all startled, their eyes wide open with anger, and they stared at the people of Demonic Pavilion.

I don't know if it's fear or nervousness.

Abbot Xujing was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "If this is true, I will be the eternal sinner of Tianxuan Temple, and I should be the first to confess before the Buddha!"

"Master!"

"Abbott!"

The disciples of Tianxuan Temple in the main hall exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded, and said slowly: "Don't be nervous..."

"Old donor." Xu Jing was so nervous that her hands were shaking...

Can you not be nervous?

He was really afraid that Lu Zhou would choose to side with Dakong Temple.

"I appreciate people who are knowledgeable."

Tianxuan Temple is willing to offer black magnolias, precious Zen clothes, and is even willing to bow to the Demon Sky Pavilion...

How could Luzhou miss such an opportunity?

"This is the donor?" Abbot Xujing didn't get a clear answer, so he felt naturally uneasy.

"Where is Dakong Temple?" Lu Zhou asked.

Abbot Xujing was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Dakong Temple has given three days. Today is the last day. Tomorrow morning the four great monks of Dakong Temple will come to Tianxuan Temple."

Lu Zhou nodded and said:

"The reason for the Ming Dynasty."

"Disciple is here."

"Hide the flying chariot."

"Disciple, take your orders!"

Mingshi was inspired by his love for showing off. He walked out swaggeringly and glanced at the group of monks. He ducked out of the way and revealed his magical power!

Duanmu was speechless.

Does this also require the use of great supernatural powers?

Abbot Xujing said quickly: "Arrange a wing!"

"yes!"

Luzhou was also calm.

That night we stayed at Tianxuan Temple.

When the crowd at the Main Hall left...it fell into darkness.

Only Abbot Xujing sighed and became a demon with one thought, a Buddha with one thought...

Early the next morning.

Bang.

Bang.

Morning bells and evening drums.

The sound of bells spread from Qingyuan Mountain to all directions.

It resounded throughout the Tianxuan Temple.

The disciples of Tianxuan Temple gathered quickly and stood ready.
