Chapter 16 The third chapter washes the world and cleans the vulgar, and seeks to prove the pure land in the world

The presumptuous words were not high-pitched, but full of arrogance and complacency; although they sounded far away, they still pierced through the evening wind, and the words were transmitted to the young man's ears very clearly. As soon as this person finished speaking, another person continued to praise him: "That's natural! Master Luo Xian made a move, of course he can catch it with his hands. What's more, brother Luo has recently practiced to the state of three flowers gathering at the top, which is different from that time in Zhenyang..." Hearing the word "浈阳", the boy who was still a little sleepy was startled suddenly, and secretly yelled: "It's not good!"

Just when he jumped up in an instant and wanted to wake up everyone, he heard a muffled "bang", and then saw flames burst into the sky outside the window of the ruined temple.There was only a sound of "beeping and peeling", and in a short while the bamboo and wood window edge was licked clean by the tongue of fire. The ferocity of this sudden fire was far beyond Xing Yan's surprise.Before he could shout a few times, he saw those beggars who were leaning against the temple gate suddenly rushed up by the raging fire wave outside the gate, and threw them towards him like sacks.

Caught off guard, even though Xing Yan had sharp eyes and quick hands, he could barely slow down the fall of the nearby old beggars; then, he was knocked back four or five steps, and fell to the ground with a "boom" .Before getting up, Xingyan endured the pain, and shouted before the raging flames licked his body: "Qiong Xun, splash water!" Hearing her brother yelling, the sleepy-eyed little girl reacted instinctively. With a "crash", a torrent of water suddenly poured down in front of the mountain temple with a radius of less than one foot, and instantly licked the fierce tongue of fire. Submerged!

Seeing that the fire stopped, Qiongxu stepped on the bricks and stones that were still emitting green smoke, ran to Xingyan, and asked worriedly: "Brother, let me see if the eyebrows are burned~" "...Probably not. Qiongxi, you quickly put out the fire outside the temple!" It turned out that although there were no flames nearby at this time, there were still raging flames outside the temple gate, which were poking into the threshold from time to time.Although this mountain temple is built of bricks and stones, it will inevitably be burnt and crumbled after being burned for a long time.

Listening to Xingyan's instructions, Qiongxi said "Oh", and then concentrated on putting out the fire.In a short time, the fire surrounding the mountain temple was completely extinguished by this little girl who was familiar with the water-splashing spell, and there was not even a single spark left. The little girl stopped splashing water, and wiped the water curtain that had just been poured by the bag on her face, and then hurried forward to see the injuries of these beggars.Unexpectedly, they all turned over and knelt down, kowtowing to their side, shouting "immortals and immortals" incessantly.

Seeing them like this, the young man was about to thank them, but suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows immediately, and the Fengshen sword behind his back flew out of its sheath like a tiger coming out of its heath, roaring towards the night sky outside the temple. go. The divine sword that came out of its box flew back and forth in the moonlit night starry sky, just like a nighthawk looking for prey, circling back and forth above the mountains and fields.At the same time, the young man standing in the temple had a solemn face, his eyes closed, and a ray of mind was closely connected with the erratic and swirling Yao Guang, observing every inch of land within a radius of five or six miles.

The boy is now using this method of flying swords and gods, and he learned it from his master, Ling Xuzi.A young man with a keen mind, when the road is dull these days, he recalls the mysterious scene of Lingxuzi flying a sword to explore Zhao Wuchen's whereabouts a few months ago.In addition to admiration, Xing Yan also tried to imitate some of the scenes he saw that day.Although this technique of Flying Sword and Immortal Journey is extremely profound, but fortunately, his grotesque Taihua Dao power can separate a bystander's eye when it is running, so occasionally he has an idea, and moves that technique to Use yourself to control the sword.After trying it out, it turned out to be quite effective; when I was doing it, my eyes seemed to grow on Yao Guang's body, and I could see the general situation of every place she flew by.

However, probably because of the ambiguous imitation of this advanced spell, now Xingyan can only vaguely see the general scene where Feijian passed by, and basically it can only be used as a search for people.Moreover, this spell is very mentally consuming, and currently it can only have some effect within a radius of five or six miles. So, after about half a cup of tea was cold, the young man who had kept his eyes closed opened his eyes, and said to the few beggars around him who dared not show their air: "Sorry, I couldn't find the arsonist. trail." While speaking, the Fengshen sword had flown from outside, and with a gust of wind, it was inserted back into the sharkskin scabbard behind Xingyan impartially.

Seeing such supernatural powers, how could these beggars think about the arson thief?Now they can only care about shouting at the gods and masters there. After all this trouble, everyone in the Shanshen Temple fell asleep; barely until dawn, and woke up to let these survivors go to Zhenyang County in the south to seek a living.With the silver charms presented by the "living gods", these beggars went on the road with great gratitude. Seeing their backs staggering away, Xingyan thought in his heart: "Now that Zhenyang has Fan Chuan sitting in town every day, there should be no one who dares to make trouble again? Now it seems that the villains should be inseparable from the fire at the Dragon King Temple in Zhenyang last night."

Thinking of this, I remembered that Peng Xiangpu once said that several disabled old beggars were burned to death in the fire at the Dragon King Temple in Zhenyang.Thinking of this incident, the normally calm young man's expression suddenly darkened. Seeing him like this, even Xiao Qiongxu didn't dare to ask him for a moment.The little girl was full of surprises, wondering why her brother suddenly became so unhappy, even if she was negotiating the price when buying things before, and was accidentally cheated by the shopkeeper of the bad shop, it seems that the elder brother is not so sad...

When the little girl was confused, she saw that her elder brother's expression became relaxed again, he smiled at them, and said, "Xueyi, Qiongxi, this time we in the Four Seas Hall are here to eradicate monsters again!" "it is good!" Seeing her brother happy, the little girl let out a cry of joy, overshadowing her sister Xueyi's soft promise. Seeing Xiao Qiongxue's happy appearance, Xingyan had another thought in his mind, and added another sentence: "Qiongxue Xueyi, this time you all help me look after each other, don't beat a good person by mistake again..." "yes!" The little girl whose face was flushed with excitement was the first to answer. After hearing Xingyan's instructions, Qiongxi stopped playing around on the way, but wrinkled her little nose and sniffed from time to time, as if she wanted to find those villains by smell just like tracking her brother. At the beginning, seeing Xiao Qiongxun sniffing along the road, Xingyan was still full of anticipation. After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Qiongxue, have you found any traces of the demon?" "No~" "I only smell the fragrance of flowers, just like sister Xueyi." Having only come to this conclusion, Xiao Qiongxun was quite frustrated.Seeing her like this, Xingyan comforted: "It's okay, we'll think of other ways." "Oh! But, I only know this way~" So Qiongxu continued to sniff. After walking for more than an hour, Xingyan and the three came to a market town. At the entrance of this town stands a tall bamboo gate.On the wooden sign hanging in the middle of the bamboo gate, the words "Qinglin Town" were written squarely in black lacquer.Perhaps it has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and this wooden sign has become cracked and withered; but the name of the town is still fresh, and it should be painted for it often. This market town is quite prosperous, and it is one of the best among the villages and towns that Xingyan saw along the way.Like other rainy areas, the dwellings here are mostly stilted buildings made of thick moso bamboo.Pedestrians coming and going in the town have different costumes, and it seems that Han and Yao people live together.Along the way, Xingyan has learned a lot about the aboriginal customs; like this one with exquisite patterns embroidered on the cuffs, hair tied into thin braids and coiled around the head, surrounded by five-color thin bead chains, it should be Yao. house girl.The men from the Yao family wear their hair in a bun, their heads covered in green and red coarse cloth, their trousers are wide, and they wear a white cloth waistcoat over their clothes. After shopping around for a while, Xing Yan squatted in front of a silver jewelry stall, and picked with the two daughters to see if there was any suitable jewelry for them to wear.Just when Xingyan picked up a pair of silver earrings to ask Xueyi for advice, he suddenly heard many people shouting in random order: "Master Jinbo has opened the altar again! Everyone, go and listen!" "Golden Bowl Guru?" Looking behind in a blink of an eye, I found that the pedestrians who were idle on the street were now rushing towards the west of the market town like a tide.Seeing this situation, Xingyan was a little curious, so he asked the stall owner of the Yao family in front of him, who exactly is the master of the golden bowl. Listening to his questioning, the man of the Yao nationality spoke blunt Chinese and explained to the foreign guest: "This Zen Master Jinbo is amazing, and the Dharma is boundless. He is the guru of our Jingshi Shenjiao!" When he said this, the man had a look of reverence, as if he felt infinitely honored as soon as he mentioned the four words "Zhan Master Jinbo". "The Pure World God Sect?" Hearing about this sect for the first time, and seeing the admiration on the face of the stall owner, Xingyan was quite curious and asked a few more questions.It's just that the man from the Yao family is not proficient in Chinese, and he was busy closing the stall to listen to Master Jinbo's lecture, so he didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that the man just locked all the silver jewelry in a small wooden box, and then followed the crowd to the west entrance of Zhenxi without hesitation, he couldn't help chewing the words "Jingshi Shenjiao" in his heart After a while, he also greeted, and led Qiongxu Xueyi to follow the crowd towards Zhenxi. When we arrived in the west of the town, we found that there was a high platform more than two feet high outside the gate of Zhuzhai.On the stage, an old Zen master in a snow-white robe was speaking in a gentle tone.Behind him, there were a few white-clothed men standing beside him with lowered brows and lowered hands. At this time, the high moso bamboo platform was already crowded with people, and the inner three floors and the outer three floors were tightly surrounded.Seeing the enthusiasm of the local people, Xingyan was also very interested. He wanted to see how the benevolent, white-bearded and white-browed Chan Master Jinbo taught the Dharma.Seriously speaking, although he has dabbled a lot in various schools of thought, he has only seen some of the principles of Buddhism, and he is not very familiar with them. At this moment, where I was standing was far away from the high platform, and I didn't pay attention to listen to it, but the words of the Zen Master Jinbo on the platform still came to my ears verbatim. "That's right. It seems that the old Zen master's respect is not entirely unreasonable." Seeing that the monk was quite knowledgeable, Xingyan became even more energetic and listened carefully to his teachings. However, after listening for a while, he was a little disappointed.It turned out that although the Zen master Jinbo had a gentle and warm tone, and his words were very contagious, but the content of it was mostly about exhorting people to do good, or how to accumulate merit.Although these are all well-known doctrines worthy of publicity, when Chan Master Jinbo is speaking, he pays more attention to those details.After a long time, I felt a little drowsy after hearing Xingyan. However, apart from being bored, what surprised him was that although what the people on the stage said was trivial and not very subtle, everyone in the audience listened like crazy and stared at him intently. The Zen master who was speaking on the stage.Seeing this situation, although I felt a little regretful in my heart, Xingyan still sincerely praised goodness: "Good! Although this Zen master did not explain such profound principles, he preached the virtues that are closely related to daily words and deeds. For these people , but these are more appropriate in comparison.” After a while, the lecture of Master Golden Bowl on the stage came to an end.Afterwards, those white-clothed men who were serving at the side took out several stacks of hemp paper and threw them down the stage like snowflakes. After taking a piece of paper that Qiong Xun ran to pick up, he woke up and found that what was promoted on it was the "Jingshi Shenjiao" mentioned by the man of the Yao family earlier; If you want to join the Pure World Sect, you only need to pay fifty Wen. "Fifty Wen? It doesn't seem cheap..." When he was calculating the price in his mind, he suddenly saw a man in white approaching, enthusiastically pulling them into the sect.It turned out that this Jingshi sect disciple saw these young men and women dressed in layman's clothes well-dressed, so he became enthusiastic and tried hard to encourage them to join the sect. In such a battle, in Xingyan's memory, even the merchants who are most enthusiastic about selling goods are much paler than the Jingshi sectist in front of him.Seeing this man's enthusiasm, Xing Yan felt embarrassed to walk away even though he had no intention of joining the religion at all, so he could only listen to him politely and patiently.Anyway, I am also trying to understand what is going on with this Jingshijiao. After listening to the lecture, the Hall Master of the Four Seas was surprised to find that the eloquence of the Jingshi believer in front of him was by no means inferior to his own! Listening to him wagging his lips and tongue, he woke up and said that he had gradually gained some understanding of the Jingshi God Sect.It turns out that the teachings of the Jingshi Sect declare that the world in front of us will actually suffer three catastrophes, which are the Qingyang catastrophe, the red fire catastrophe, and the cold ice catastrophe.If people in the world can survive these catastrophes, they will become gods and Buddhas.And the Qingyang catastrophe was exactly what happened in the ancient heavens in ten days, and the world has already experienced it.Right now, this world is just before the Red Fire Tribulation comes.If it is the time of the red fire catastrophe, the red star will appear in the sky, and then there will be a red lotus karmic fire from between the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, burning all the dirty tires and filth in the world.At that time, all the high mountains will collapse, all the slopes and ponds will be broken, and people in the world will be unable to escape and escape. "Ah! What shall we do then?" Hearing what he said was terrible, Xiao Qiongxun couldn't help showing panic, covered her mouth and exclaimed; but her sister Xueyi remained calm.Seeing that the little girl was panicked, the white-clothed cultist just picked up the conversation, laughed and said, "Don't worry, little sister. These red lotus karmic fires will only burn greedy people to death; and anyone who can join my Pure World God Sect will be killed." Not only will nothing happen to the saints born in the imperial womb, but they will also become immortals and Buddhas in response to calamity." Speaking of this, the Jingshi believer looked excited, licked his lips and said a little mysteriously: "You don't know, the last Qingyang robbery was mainly due to Du Dauni; It's the turn of our disciples of the Pure World God Sect!" "I see." Xing Yan said in his heart that he had missed the last chance to become a god.Hearing this, I felt a little hungry, so I took over the conversation and said, "Heh~ Thank you for the explanation, uncle; but we have no intention of joining the church, so I'm very sorry!" Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, the Jingshi sect member quickly grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Little brother, don't leave in a hurry! Listen to me, we can't just be greedy for the delicious food in front of us. If When catastrophe comes, even if you have such a good skin, you will--" The man had just finished talking about the serious consequences when he saw the young man in front of him frowning slightly, so he hurriedly changed his tone and said to the rich young man with a sword on his back: "Actually, young heroes don't know. The main thing is to do good deeds. Everyone has a saying that joining the Jingshi Sect is doing good in itself. Moreover, after joining the Detachment, everyone is like a family, and they all call each other brothers and sisters; if they are bullied by outsiders, then—" As soon as he babbled here, Xingyan couldn't help but cut off: "Uncle, no need, these two girls and I are already brothers and sisters; if anyone is bullied, they will not stand by. I'm sorry, I'm hungry, let's leave now." After finishing speaking, Xingyan took the two daughters, left behind the white-clothed man who wholeheartedly encouraged them to join the religion, and walked towards the place where the food banners fluttered in the town. Gossip less; just when the restaurant is using Yao's dishes, I can't help but think of what happened in the morning.Suddenly, thinking of something, the bamboo chopsticks in the boy's hands stopped abruptly: "Imperial saints? Pure world gods?" At this moment, the young man was remembering what the arsonist said last night: "Tonight, I will purify the world with a few filthy bastards!" After being stunned for a long while, Xingyan let out a sigh of relief, and then unhurriedly picked up the dishes for Xiao Qiongxi. Leaving aside the fact that they were wandering in the town, it was around the end of the afternoon, in a dark peach grove outside Qinglin Town, two groups of people had a fierce dispute. On one side of the dispute, there are about six or seven people, both men and women.At this moment, the strong man with bushy eyebrows and big eyes headed by this side was shouting angrily at the independent person opposite: "Golden Boss! Anyway, you are also a disciple of Buddhism, don't you want to learn how to bully others with your strength? ?” It turned out that the person standing opposite him was Zen Master Jinbo who had given a speech on the high platform before noon.At this moment, the benevolent and white-browed monk stood alone in front of these angry young men and women.Although there are many people on the other side at this moment, and the speaker is aggressive, Zen Master Jinbo is not afraid, and still responds kindly in a calm tone: "Benefactor Zou, you have misunderstood the old monk. The poor monk just I feel that if you disciples of the Zhurong Sect in Yangshan County are merged into our Jingshi Sect, you can show your strengths and cleanse the filth of this world together, reducing the damage caused by disasters. This is a great thing , Why is Benefactor Zou still so persistent." "what!" Hearing what he said, the man surnamed Zou from Zhurongmen laughed back angrily, and said sarcastically, "Chan Master Jinbo, can you tell me that if you want to join me, Zhurongmen, that's all. Why are you forcing Hongpahui again?" These lonely widows? They are just forming societies and helping each other, and they will not be of much help to you in surviving the catastrophe!" Seeing his ridicule and questioning, the golden monk with a Buddha-like face was unmoved, and still smiled and said politely: "It seems that Brother Zou still hasn't carefully read the teachings on the purification of the world given by the old monk; Since I have made a great ambition to save the common people in the world, I need a royal womb that can continue to survive the catastrophe—if all the people in the world become saints in the royal womb before the arrival of the red fire catastrophe, maybe the catastrophe of annihilation will not be over. It will happen. Because of this, we need the sisters of the Red Pagoda Society to use the secret method of this religion to match the brothers in the religion—" "shut up!" As soon as the golden monk said this, the middle-aged woman who had been silent was trembling with anger, and couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately cut off the ugly words with a sharp voice. Seeing her annoyed, the golden monk didn't take it seriously, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, if you don't join the divine religion, you won't be able to break through this illusory skin. It's still such a woman's experience." After saying this, before the person on the other side could refute, the master of Jingshijiao suddenly changed his tone and said loudly: "Zou Yanzhao, you just delay the agreement last time, but the brothers in my teaching can wait for you." I'm impatient. Master Ben Jing is entrusted by them today, no matter what, you have to give me an account." Hearing Zen Master Jinbo's straightforward words, the disciple of Zhu Rong who had been aggrieved all the time softened up and said kindly: "Master Jinbo, what your teacher said last time was really urgent. It should be noted that although I am a Wu Zhu from my school in Yangshan County, I am not the only one who has the final say on such a big matter. Therefore, I would like to ask the Zen master to wait for a few more days..." "Oh?" Hearing his explanation, Zen Master Jinbo remained calm, responded briefly, and then stopped answering.Seeing his silence, Zou Yanzhao felt a little uncertain.Just when he was about to add a few more sentences, he saw the golden monk suddenly pull out a copper bowl, and said calmly to this side: "All benefactors, I wonder if you have heard of the name of my bowl?" "This poor monk's master's magic weapon is called 'Jin Que Soul Locking Bowl'!" Before he finished speaking, he saw that the dull gray and yellow old copper bowl in his hand suddenly shone with golden light, and in an instant, he saw that the gaps on the edge of the copper bowl were already shining like sharp fangs intertwined with each other. Just when everyone was stunned, the gaping golden bowl suddenly flew up with a "boom", whirling above everyone's heads, and kept shooting dazzling golden light in all directions. At this moment, before Zou Yanzhao could react, he just heard a "whoosh" and saw a black shadow flying up beside him in a trance, and then disappeared into the golden brilliance and disappeared silently. Shocked, Zou Yanzhao knew something was wrong, turned around and found that Brother Gao who was standing beside him was gone! "you!" When he was frightened and angry, Zou Yanzhao clenched his teeth and raised his hand vigorously, a fire shadow quickly devoured towards the opposite monk like a giant python. However, just as the fire python swam out, the circling golden bowl on top of its head immediately sprinkled a piece of golden light, extinguishing the fierce flame he cast invisible.Seeing this scene, Zou Yanzhao's face turned pale. Seeing his pale face, the golden monk laughed and said: "Zou Yanzhao! With your spell, how can you save your brother?" "Well, to be honest, the old monk respects you for being self-aware. Don't lie to me that I don't know your intentions. All kinds of evasions and delays are nothing more than waiting for the best players in the sect to come and win the bet. However, there is no Such a cheap thing? Today you have to tell the poor monk a word, whether you agree to the scheduled date or not." When he said this, although Chan Master Jinbo's tone was calm, the inner tone was very aggressive. After breaking through the key point, I saw that the wizard Zhu Rongmen was still hesitant. The golden monk smiled coldly, pointed to the golden bowl above his head and said: "Benefactor Zou, although the name of my magic weapon is scary, but it has been accepted. People will not lose their lives in a short time. It's just that if you procrastinate like your Excellency, I'm afraid your brother will become a pool of blood in the end. It's a sin, a sin, Amitabha!" Seeing the white-browed monk opposite him clasping his palms together and reciting the Buddha's name, all the local leaders of the Zhurong Menhong Pahui were pale.At this time, the scattered branches and leaves of the peach trees were covering the sky, making the open space near the edge of the peach forest look a bit spooky; The bright yellow light also had a somewhat gloomy color in everyone's eyes. "Forget it, it seems that I have to agree anyway." Seeing the disparity in strength before him, Zou Yanzhao secretly sighed, saying that today would not be delayed no matter what. Just when he was about to open his mouth to promise, he suddenly saw another black shadow crossing the air. "what?!" Zou Yanzhao was shocked, and quickly turned his head to check, only to find that there were no fewer people.Looking at the evil monk on the opposite side, he saw that he was also stunned. Just as he was surprised, he suddenly heard a little girl's excited voice from outside the forest: "Brother, look I picked up a bowl!" "Uh?!" Hearing these words, everyone in the forest woke up like a dream, and couldn't help but look up—only to see that the powerful golden bowl had long since disappeared! Just when everyone was wondering, they heard a young man's dignified voice from outside the forest: "Qiong Xi, didn't I tell you, don't just pick up other people's things—" "Especially a broken bowl with a gap like this~"
