Chapter 252: The matter of Fahuazong, I, Jizang, are bound to
Qinglongfang in the southern city of Chang'an is vast and sparsely populated, and is often haunted by spirits.
The abandoned houses that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road can still remind people of the prosperity that this city once had when it was still called Daxing.
when!
A melancholy bell rang, and the echoes circled in Qinglongfang, startling some birds that were parked on the roof of the mansion. They fluttered and flew up, like a black cloud, covering the sky and the sun.
.
The breeze blew lazily through Qinglongfang, and the grass on the roof beside the road swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.
It's like moaning in sorrow!
The Riyan Temple located on the side of Qinglongfang, like other abandoned houses in Qinglongfang, shows a dilapidated scene. The adobe smeared on the wall is tattered under the erosion of time, and the adobe bricks inside the wall are also in disrepair.
They have been soaked by the rain and mixed together.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds and withered. The golden paint on some of the statues in the side halls has disappeared. Some Buddha statues are even half-length. The doors and windows in the temple are even more withered and can be seen everywhere.
Traces of damage.
"I really didn't expect that Riyan Temple would be in such a state of decline. It's really sad."
Monk Jizang walked out of the void, looked at the desolate scene in front of him, and clasped his hands with compassion on his face.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an old voice coming from the side hall next to him.
"Everything is impermanent, and what flourishes must decline. Nothing in the world is like this!"
An old monk with a white beard walked out of the side hall calmly, clasped his hands to Monk Jizang, and said with a sigh on his face.
"Just like our Lotus Sect, when there is prosperity, there must be decline."
"Great Monk Zhixi..."
After seeing the old monk, Monk Jizang hurriedly put his hands together and returned the salute.
"I haven't heard from the great monk for several days, and I was very worried. Seeing the great monk today makes me feel relieved!"
"The old monk's temporary seclusion is not for his own reasons. It's just that it is difficult for me, the Fahua Sect, to quietly transport out all the decades of savings that we have accumulated in Jingzhao."
Monk Zhixi said to Monk Jizang very freely and freely.
"Besides, Fu Yi is still desperately trying to arrest the disciples of my Fahua Sect, which inevitably makes the old monk even more constrained."
"The great monk's words made me feel ashamed..."
Monk Jizang clasped his hands together and said with emotion.
"Although I re-established the San Lun Sect of my master, Monk Farang, I still have a close relationship with the Fahua Sect. This time the Fahua Sect suffered a great calamity. I can't do anything else, but I can still provide some help.
It can be done.”
"hehe……"
Monk Zhixi smiled slightly.
"To this day, the old monk still has to think more about the Buddhists who stayed in Chang'an. If because of the affairs of our Lotus Sect, the Sanlun Sect suffers the same fate as the great monk Daoyue of the Kushe Sect,
That old monk really has no hope of redemption."
"Having said that, I still feel a little ashamed."
Monk Jizang said with persistence.
"If there is anything that can be of use to me, please speak up, Monk Zhixi, without being polite."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Monk Ji Zang heard Monk Zhi Xi opposite him saying something about the donkey going down the slope.
"Since you said so, Monk Jizang, the old monk happens to have something that needs the help of Monk Jizang."
Monk Jizang blinked and made an expression of duty.
"Master Zhixi, please speak. I am determined not to refuse!"
"Please come in..."
Monk Zhixi extended his arms to Monk Jizang, and then took the lead into the side hall next to him. Monk Jizang followed behind him and walked in together.
After entering the side hall, the first thing that caught my eye was the passage under the base of the Buddha statue in the side hall that seemed to be exactly the same as the Yanzun Xiancha hidden in Yanxing Temple. At this time, several monks were busy, walking from the bottom of the passage
The alleys were moved out one by one.
Most of these boxes have been tied up, and only a few boxes are still open, revealing some valuables such as gold leaves, golden Buddha statues, gems, and pearls. In other boxes,
There are some Buddhist beads, swords, daggers, Zen staffs and other miscellaneous items.
Monk Jizang didn't even need to look at it. He could confirm just by looking at the seals on these items that they were the batch of magical artifacts of the Fa Hua Sect that he had helped to seal and had been cultivating in the Chang'an Temple.
"As the great monk saw..."
After monk Zhixi brought monk Jizang into the side hall, he clasped his hands and bowed slightly to monk Jizang.
"These things are the foundation of our Fahua Sect's decades of operation in Chang'an. The old monk thought to himself over and over again, but still felt trembling and nervous, as if walking on thin ice, so the old monk thought about it again and again, and decided to invite the great monk Jizang to accompany the old monk to escort these things out.
Chang'an, the old monk is willing to use the Strictly Compliance Immortal Cha to reward the great monk."
"Master Zhixi, what are you talking about?"
After hearing what Monk Zhixi said, Monk Jizang immediately patted his chest.
"I and the Fahua Sect are considered to be one family. How can I stand by and watch this matter? Monk, don't worry, I will accept this matter."
"Good! Good!"
After hearing what Monk Jizang said, Monk Zhixi seemed to be relieved. He clasped his hands together and muttered something in a low voice.
"In that case, thank you very much, old monk!"
"We belong to the same family, why bother?"
Monk Jizang looked very righteous, waved his hand, and said without explanation.
"Here, let the old monk help me..."
With that said, Monk Jizang nodded to Monk Zhixi, then rolled up his sleeves and followed the monks from the Fahua Sect in front of him into the passage.
Looking at his back, Monk Zhixi clasped his hands together again and bowed slightly.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
…
More than an hour later, a white shadow walked unscrupulously through the house and over the ridge, landed in front of the door of the abbot's Zen room of Yanxing Temple, and bowed to the inside.
"Master! Xinru came here in response to the call, please give me instructions..."
"This time I summoned you for an important matter."
Monk Jizang walked to the door of the Zen room, looked at Pei Xinru standing in the yard, and said calmly.
"Monk Zhixi has decided to sneak out of Chang'an tonight at Haishi. At that time, I will take Yan Zunxiancha to follow him, enter the Yellow Canal through Qujiang Pond, and reach the foot of Zhongnan. Then abandon the boat and go back to the Tiantai via Zhongnan Mountain.
.”
"yes!"
Pei Xinru agreed, and then asked very respectfully.
"Then what the master means is..."
"The Lotus Sect is so powerful and powerful that those golden beads are of little use to them. Moreover, their temples are spread all over the world. Dozens of more or less magical artifacts are insignificant."
Monk Ji Zang twisted the rosary beads in his hand and spoke calmly.
"But our San Lun Sect has just been reestablished and needs a lot of resources. These things are much more useful in the hands of our San Lun Sect than the Lotus Sect, so the old monk can't help but be a little greedy."
Although Monk Jizang said that he was greedy, Pei Xinru did not feel dissatisfied at all and answered without hesitation.
"Master, please rest assured! Xinru is going to prepare the manpower now, pretend to be a thief at night, intercept and kill Monk Zhixi, and bring all these gold beads and magic weapons back to you, Master."
"Xinru, it's great that you have such a heart!"
Seeing Pei Xinru's firm stance, Monk Jizang couldn't help but smile gently.
"But Monk Zhixi is a Buddhist Arhat, and your strength is still a little lacking... Moreover, although these golden beads and magic weapons are more important to our Sanlun Sect, these external things are still not worth paying a high price.
"
Monk Ji Zang took a step forward, walked out of the door of the Zen room, and said in a low voice.
"Besides, these things have been secretly marked by me, and their movements are within my grasp, so we don't have to worry."
As he spoke, Monk Jizang pointed towards the north of Chang'an City with his hand.
"Hasn't Fu Yi been keeping an eye on the Fahua Sect during this time? As long as you send him a message, I believe he will immediately gather people and set off to intercept it. When the time comes, you only need to take the people to prepare and wait for them to fight
When both sides suffer..."
Monk Jizang clenched his fist, and the air in his palm was crushed, making a soft sound.
"If you attack again and catch them all in one fell swoop, the old monk will find a way to cooperate with you."
After listening to Monk Jizang's plan, Pei Xinru's face showed a look of sincerity, and she bowed her hands to Monk Jizang Yingying.
"Respect the law!"
"No need to be polite!"
Monk Jizang raised his hand, and a gentle force lifted Pei Xinru up from the ground.
"Go and inform Fu Yi. Tell him to set up defenses near the Yellow Canal at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and you will be able to catch those Fahua Sect monks who want to leave Chang'an with their golden beads and magic weapons."
"yes!"
After Pei Xinru agreed, she didn't hesitate, her body rose up, and after a few ups and downs, she disappeared into the house behind Yanxing Temple.
Looking at Pei Xinru's disappearing back, Monk Jizang smiled slightly, twisted his rosary beads with his hands, turned around again, walked into the Zen room, sat down on the futon, and began to murmur.
"The eyes are the inner feelings, and the color is the outer world. The eyes can see the color, and even the mind can be the inner feelings..."
At this time, on the eaves not far outside Monk Jizang's Zen room, a girl wearing a blue dress and a three-part bun was touching her chin with her hand, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Tonight the Fahua Sect is planning to secretly transport the Golden Pearl Magical Artifact, huh! It sounds very interesting. I believe some stupid guy will be interested in this news..."
With that said, the girl in green also stood up on the edge of the eaves and stretched out her waist. Her beautiful curves were fully exposed in the sun, but the strange thing was that even though she was standing in the sun, there was nothing behind her.
shadow.
Whoosh!
The girl in green clothes jumped down from the eaves and landed on the road inside Yanxing Temple. Then she walked away from the temple gate and disappeared in a grand manner in front of all the monks in Yanxing Temple.
