Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 416
The former stern monk is now an old monk with a pale beard.

He is thin and thin, holding a Buddhist bead, and his voice is thunderous: "Chen Daoyou, I have been waiting for you for 35 years."

Voice over.

The doors and windows outside were shaking, the fat Taoist threw his arms around his apprentice, stood in front of him, raised his hand and shouted: "Monk, you are crazy, we are our own people."

"Humph!"

The wide monk's sleeves fluttered, and the old Zhenhai monk rolled up his sleeves, with Buddhist beads hanging vertically, and came to stand still outside the Arhat Hall with afterimages, staring straight at Chen Yuan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, with a beard like needle , shaking slightly.

"If I didn't treat you as one of your own, I would have kicked you out of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple a long time ago."

Holding the Buddhist beads in his hand, he walked down the stone steps and staggered his figure with Chen Yuan, "I haven't come for many years, and when I come, there must be something to ask, which family of demons to kill, or which family of gods and Buddhas?"

"There is indeed something."

Seeing his appearance, Chen Yuan was indeed too murderous, even more obsessed with killing than when he was young. At this time, Zhike Xiaoseng had slipped away to nowhere, and there was no one else around, so it didn't hurt to speak out.

"I just came back to this world recently, and I have been staying in Luoyang Zhenjun Temple. Recently, I heard that there was a big monster in Qishan Mountain in the northwest, killing countless people..."

Hahaha!
Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, the Zhenhai old monk burst out laughing, the tiles on both sides of Zhen's side rooms rattled and shook, he turned around and strode towards the Arhat Hall.

"Why didn't you tell me about this monster earlier, I'll go and kill it right away!"

Stepping into the main hall, the cassock flew to wrap his body, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the Jiuxi Zen stick and golden bowl flew into his hand one by one, and he went out with it.

"Master, wait a moment."

Chen Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said with some headache: "After I finish speaking, there is another reason for this matter."

The old monk frowned slightly, but did not speak, quietly waiting for the next sentence.

"...Master, do you still remember the toad that traveled west with us back then?"

"That big monster is it?" The old monk snorted, staggered his body, and passed Chen Yuan: "It turns out that you didn't ask me to subdue the monster when you came to Wanfo Temple, but you wanted me to protect the monster.

That toad did walk with you and me for a while back then, and there is some relationship, but a monster is still a monster, how can it be comparable to human affection? !If you do something harmful, how can you not investigate it? !Benefactor Chen, you have changed. "

"It's not about changing, but I want to find out the reason why I committed such a crime." Chen Yuan has always been calm, especially the toad has been following him for a long time. Judging from his temperament, he shouldn't kill people indiscriminately.

"If that monster has just opened up its spiritual wisdom and committed murder without knowing the world, it would make sense, but it has been with me for a long time. Both the cow demon and the snake demon can understand something, and if it is corrected, it can't ? Traveling all the way to the west, in the world, right and wrong, black and white, you should have already discerned it, so how could you do such a thing?"

There was a 'bang' sound of the Zen stick in Zhenhai's hand, and he turned his head like a King Kong glaring at him.

"Chen Yuan, are you teaching me how to do things?!"

The atmosphere was suddenly tense.

The fat Taoist hurriedly dragged Xiao Daotong back to one side of the roof, stuffed the apprentice into a side room, and then stepped forward to come between the two of them.

"They're all our own people, our own people, monk! Why are you so angry? After all, the toad demon has been with us for a while. The master once promised to take him under his sect, so he can be regarded as half a disciple. It is common sense to plead for mercy. If you don't agree, let's sit down and have a good talk, and listen to whoever is reasonable."

Chen Yuan pushed away the old grandson who was standing in front of her, and met the old monk's eyes.

"It must be punished for killing. But how to punish it depends on the reason. When I came here, I heard from Lao Sun that you have become more and more hostile over the years. I still don't believe it. When I saw you today, it was true. That's right, besides fighting and killing, what else will the master do?"

"Humph."

The old monk turned his face away, "I'm very hostile, but my mind is clear, so there's no need for benefactor Chen to force his generals, that demon must be brought down, no matter ordinary people in the world or practitioners, who commit such things as killing innocent people indiscriminately." , let me meet them and get rid of them together."

Originally thinking that it would be inconvenient for him to make a move, he asked the monk to help, but now Chen Yuan felt that this step was wrong.

Just about to say it again, suddenly a Buddha's name came out.

"All the Buddhas are as free as heaven."

Chen Yuan turned her head, and saw an old monk with white beard and eyebrows standing in front of the crescent gate leading to the Daxiong Palace, holding a purple golden bowl in his hand, and bowing to the Buddha with a vertical seal.

Seeing that his face was familiar, Chen Yuan identified it for a while, and finally recognized that it was the Zhenkong monk who had met once, that is, Zhenhai's senior brother.

"It turned out to be the host of Zhenkong."

According to what Fat Taoist said before, Zhen Kong is already the presiding officer of Wanfo Temple, so he only needs to add titles to his titles.

"Benefactor Chen."

I haven't seen him for many years, but Zhenkong's temperament still hasn't changed, he was as silent as water, he slightly lowered his head to return the salute, and then looked at his junior brother Zhenhai.

"Junior brother, the Buddha has the vajra eyes, but also has compassion. After many years of painstaking practice, I will witness whether your murderous nature is restrained. At the invitation of Master Chen, you might as well go to Mount Qi."

"Hmph, don't tell me, I will go too."

Zhenkong nodded and smiled: "Then, why not do something for senior brother."

"What's the matter?"

"Punish that monster."

"do not kill?"

Zhen Kong shook his head: "Don't kill!"

"Hmph, the same as Chen Yuan." Zhenhai raised his Zen stick and left, but was stopped by Zhenkong who stretched out his hand.The old monk turned his head and said, "Brother, that big monster has a debt of gratitude to senior brother, please pay it back for me."

"what?"

Not only Zhenhai was stunned, but Chen Yuan and the fat Taoist were also stunned. When did the big toad have anything to do with this old monk who never left the temple?
"Brother, why did you say that?"

Zhenkong sighed, retracted his hands and looked at Luohantang to pay respects, "Do you remember that when senior brother became a monk, there was a daughter in his hometown?"

Chen Yuan remembers this. When she first came to the town at the foot of the Wanfo Temple Mountain, she met Zhen Kong who couldn't fight back when she was beaten or scolded. After exchanging pleasantries, she knew that the monk's wife had passed away. The Buddhist monks brought back to the temple to become a monk, and there was a daughter in his hometown.

"Remember." Zhenhai nodded over there.

"She's dead."

Zhenkong closed his eyes, his face was calm, and his voice was flat: "The big monster is here to avenge her... That toad demon has known her since she was a child... The little girl often talks to the toad demon who has just opened her mind by the pool ..."

The purple golden bowl in his hand was stretched out in front of everyone, and the monk's sleeve with the other hand brushed it away. The moment he moved it away, a golden light shot out, and a halo of light swirled in the golden bowl.

Chen Yuan, Zhenhai, and Fat Taoist approached, and suddenly saw some pictures in the halo of light.

The two children cuddled up to their mother across a bamboo cage.

The woman in the cage touched the heads of the two children and burst into tears.

"After my mother is gone, you must be obedient and listen to the bride's words, so as not to starve or be beaten."

Soon, two men came over, took the two children away from the woman, and let the two children struggle and cry.

"mother--"

The woman's husband, standing not far away, pointed at the woman in the cage and yelled loudly.

"The slut has an affair with a wild man, sink her into the river!"

The wind was very strong that day, the woman curled up in the cage, and was carried to the river by several men, surrounded by townspeople who came to see the excitement, and laughed and asked the men to throw the woman into the river quickly.
