"Hanwen, please put down the medicine basket and take a rest first!"
With a distressed look on her face, Xu Jiaorong helped Xu Xian put down the heavy medicine basket. While helping to spread the medicinal materials in the yard at the door, she scolded: "Look at what you did!"
"hehe……"
Xu Xian's pretty face was full of embarrassment. She waved her hands and said with a bitter smile: "Sister, didn't I forget it for a moment?"
"Hey, Hanwen, how come you have residual traces of Buddhist magic power on your body?"
Before Xu Jiaorong could continue nagging, Li Gongfu uttered a cry of surprise. He came over with a strange look on his face, circled around his brother-in-law Xu Xian a few times, and asked anxiously: "Han Wen, have you met someone from the Buddhist sect? What's going on?"
thing?"
"What kind of Buddhist?"
Xu Xian was a little confused, but then he realized what he was doing, slapped his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is really awesome. Even an old monk I met when I was collecting herbs knew about it!"
"Hey, that old monk is not simple!"
Li Gongfu sneered and said: "You have left a very strong Buddhist magic power on your body, which has not completely dissipated even now. Tell your brother-in-law, what did that old monk do?"
"What's there?"
Xu Xian didn't care much and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I don't know, but when I was collecting medicine in the mountains, I suddenly met an old monk and told me that he was Fa Hai from Jinshan Temple and wanted me to become a monk with him!"
"What?"
Xu Jiaorong was shocked and said sternly: "Where did the old monk come from to talk nonsense? Don't believe his nonsense, otherwise..."
The following words were not spoken, but the meaning was already very obvious.
"Sister, don't worry!"
Xu Xian hurriedly comforted him: "My younger brother has not yet gotten married and has a son. How can he possibly listen to the old monk's words and become a monk when he leaves descendants for the Xu family?"
Seeing that he looked as usual and showed no intention of worshiping the Buddha, Xu Jiaorong breathed a sigh of relief and then suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, Hanwen, you said the old monk you met was called Fa Hai?"
"yes!"
Xu Xian said with a smile: "That old monk is very boring. When he proclaims the name of Buddha, his voice is shockingly loud!"
"Oh, that's because he used Buddhist methods, it should be a lion's roar!"
Li Gongfu sneered and said disdainfully: "Fahai is really shameless, he actually played this trick on an ordinary person. If you have time, you must meet this guy for a while!"
Just looking at the unkind sneer on his face, even a fool could tell that he was in a very unhappy mood.
"Master, please don't mess around!"
Xu Jiaorong urged in a hurry: "Zen Master Fahai is the abbot of Jinshan Temple and a very famous Buddhist monk. If you go against him, you will definitely be in trouble!"
"Madam, what do you mean? I'm not afraid of that old monk!"
Li Gongfu looked unhappy and said angrily: "You heard what Han Wen said just now. This old monk is so dishonest. He even used Buddhist methods on Han Wen. He is so shameless!"
"Didn't Hanwen not agree?"
Xu Jiaorong said quickly: "Master Fa Hai is still very famous in Qiantang!"
"so what?"
Li Gongfu said coldly: "It's not that easy for Buddhism to reach Qiantang!"
Xu Jiaorong was furious, but didn't know how to refute.
She was very dissatisfied, and of course she was more worried. Most of the wives from wealthy families she had met in the past few years were Buddhist believers. From this, we can see the great influence of Buddhism.
When the wind blew on her pillow, she didn't think her husband Li Gongfu could bear it.
As for Fa Hai, he is an even more extraordinary existence.
Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang is one of the top Buddhist Zen temples in the south, and its abbot, Master Fahai, is a famous eminent Buddhist monk in the south. In recent years, he has become famous for his frequent attacks on demons and monsters.
No matter who wants to have trouble with Master Fa Hai, they must weigh the consequences.
"Brother-in-law, don't be angry!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xu Xian hurriedly softened his words and said, "I didn't promise Master Fa Hai..."
"As long as you know what's in your mind!"
Waving his hand, Li Gongfu interrupted his brother-in-law's words, shook his head and said: "It's just that Fahai suddenly fell in love with you Hanwen, which makes me suspicious!"
"How to say?"
Being interrupted, Xu Xian was not angry and asked curiously: "Is there something in me that Master Fahai likes?"
"I'm not sure about this!"
Li Gongfu shook his head and said: "It's just that I'm worried that the old monk wants to use you in Chinese to target me!"
"What, sir, have you offended Master Fa Hai?"
Without waiting for Xu Xian to reply, Xu Jiaorong exclaimed: "What's going on? I've never heard you say that before?"
"Ah……"
Li Gongfu shook his head and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a matter of competing for interests?"
Seeing the lady's expression of breaking the pot and asking for the truth, he shook his head and explained: "In recent years, didn't Madam say that the old monk Fahai has become famous? That is because Buddhism has ideas to expand its power!"
"Although Qiantang is just a county, its prosperous commerce is a good place to expand its influence. However, the forces here in Qiantang are complicated and the benefits are almost shared. How can we allow Buddhism to come in and participate?"
"Privately, in order to compete for benefits and benefits, the local forces in Qiantang have a close relationship with Jinshan Temple. My wife also knows that Qinfeng Martial Arts School is also a powerful force in Qiantang County, so it is inevitable to get involved..."
"What, the martial arts school is going against Master Fahai?"
Xu Jiaorong exclaimed in surprise and said anxiously: "Don't you know, sir, that Master Fahai has profound and powerful magical powers?"
hehe……
Li Gongfu chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "I admit that the old monk Fahai is much stronger than me!"
Seeing the lady's relaxed expression, he said calmly: "But my master is not a vegetarian, and old monk Fa Hai still dares not to act recklessly in Qiantang!"
"Master Lei?"
Xu Jiaorong asked in confusion: "Why have I never heard of the deeds of Pavilion Master Lei?"
"That's just the master's idea of not taking action!"
Li Gongfu said respectfully: "Although my current strength is not very strong, it is enough to control Yuhang without worrying too much about safety issues. But I still can't figure out the strength of the master!"
When he said this, he was full of sighs and was in awe of his master.
In the past, when he was an innately good player, he thought that his master was in the realm of fake elixirs. Unexpectedly, he had successfully entered the realm of fake elixirs in the past few years, but he still couldn't see through the reality of his master.
It would not be accurate to say that the master has a powerful method of concealing aura and can hide all the aura in front of him. The master can still answer many of his questions in martial arts practice without any doubts.
Such performance has revealed many problems.
In private, when he chatted with some of his most outstanding junior disciples, he could basically confirm that the master's strength was at least at the level of pill formation, and would probably be even stronger.
The reason why they are so sure is because several of them have faced off against the Great Demon of Danjie. Anyway, it is difficult for the aura of the Great Demon of Danjie to be hidden from their perception, but the master's aura is as dull as ever, which already explains a lot of things.
.
It's a pity that the master has never taken the initiative to reveal how deep his cultivation level is!
But one thing is certain, the master is definitely stronger than the old monk Fahai. Knowing this is enough. At least Li Gongfu will not show any stage fright when he faces the old monk Fahai.
However, seeing the flustered look on his wife's face, Li Gongfu felt a little unhappy. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, but there are some conflicts of interest. As long as the Jinshan Temple where the old monk Fahai lives doesn't reach out randomly, the martial arts school is not interested in taking the initiative.
provoke!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Xu Jiaorong's heart dropped completely, and her face returned to normal. She did not continue this frightening topic. Besides, in her heart, she did not think that a great monk like Master Fa Hai would do anything for so-called benefits.
Hands and feet, this does not fit the image of a great monk and virtue in her mind.
If Li Gongfu knew what he was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he couldn't eat.
Why do eminent monks and great virtues look down on so-called interests? As far as Li Gongfu knew, people in Buddhism are quite cruel, and the assets they hold are no worse than those of local big landowners.
Of course, he didn't want to spoil his appetite by talking about some dark side things at home. Following Xu Jiaorong's thoughts, he chatted with Xu Xian in a relaxed atmosphere about everyday things. Is this a normal way of life?
However, what happened to his brother-in-law Xu Xian finally made Li Gongfu suspicious. The next day, instead of rushing home, he went to the Qin Feng Martial Arts School and told his master what had happened.
"hehe……"
Lei Hu heard the words but smiled and said nothing, but in his heart he was like a mirror, knowing that the old monk Fahai was preparing to make arrangements in advance. If the abbot of Jinshan Temple did not know about Bai Suzhen's upcoming incident, he would not believe it even if he were killed.
In fact, when the old monk let out a lion's roar, intending to use the mighty power of Buddhism to shock Xu Xian's soul and send him into Buddhism, Lei Hu had already sensed it.
That guy has a very strong Buddhist aura, and his strength has reached the late stage of Yuanshen. He is still a little inferior to Bai Suzhen. But with Buddhist treasures such as Bo Meng and Zen staff in hand, Bai Suzhen can't do anything with him.
It's just a pity that Xu Xian has a timid temperament, but he has grown up in a Confucian environment. He has achieved nothing at a young age, and he has not even married and had children to continue the descendants of the Xu family. How could he easily become a Buddhist?
In addition to this guy's special status, Fa Hai did not dare to use force or use Buddhist magical powers to influence Xu Xian's mind.
Not to mention the changes that may affect subsequent events, Li Gongfu alone will have a difficult time.
After all, Li Gongfu is also a master of martial arts and has reached the realm of fake elixirs.
Some simple methods could not hide it from his eyes at all. Even if Fa Hai used powerful Buddhist secret techniques and was able to hide it from Li Gongfu's detection, he could not hide it from Bai Suzhen's discernment.
If this arouses Bai Suzhen's suspicion and disgust, then the gain outweighs the loss.
These thoughts flashed through Lei Hu's mind. He chuckled and nodded: "I understand, but it's a pity that your brother-in-law doesn't want to practice martial arts to strengthen his body. You just need to pay attention to it. It may not be peaceful recently. You kid, just take it easy."
