Self-struggle starting from Douluo

A dark cloud appeared in the sky above Chaoyang City and stayed there for several days. It was such an obvious mark that it was hard to ignore.

As a result, the phrase "people are under the clouds" spread to all major forces in a very short time.

This dark cloud also made the people of Chaoyang City panic-stricken and uneasy. The entrances of major temples were filled with believers waiting to worship devoutly.

Baita Temple is naturally crowded with people.

The eldest princess of the Yuelun royal family became a nun at the White Pagoda Temple. Logically, the Yuelun royal family should go to the White Pagoda Temple to worship Buddha.

But as Princess Yuelun, Lu Chenjia, one of the three most crazy girls in the world, likes to go to the most inconspicuous Qingjing Temple.

……

On this day, Lu Chenjia came to Qingjing Temple as usual, greeted the young monks along the way, and came to the meditation room in the backyard with familiarity.

At the door of the meditation room, she saw Master Guanlian, the abbot of Qingjing Temple, sitting opposite a young monk.

The young monk was wearing a moon-white robe, had a thin body, and his fair skin looked as crystal clear as jade. He looked good, but his sitting posture was unsightly.

He was leaning on the mat, with one leg crossed and his arm resting on his knee. He was waving his arms and saying something angrily with spit coming out of his mouth.

Master Guanlian's old face was full of helplessness and distress. When he saw Lu Chenjia standing at the door, he hurriedly said, "Princess Chenjia is here. If you have anything to say, just tell her."

After saying this, he stood up, bowed to Lu Chenjia, and left the meditation room.

Lu Chenjia hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and stepped into the meditation room. He said to the young monk, "Many people think you are dead. If they knew you were here, the consequences would be..."

The monk in front of her was naturally Qinghuan. Lu Chenjia had also been in Lanke Temple and had witnessed the grandeur of Qinghuan's Buddhist teachings at that time, so her feelings towards Qinghuan were particularly complicated.

She is Princess Yuelun. The evil monk Qinghuan almost overturned the thousand-year order of Yuelun Kingdom, and now there are still endless troubles.

She hated Ning Que, so naturally she would hate Qing Huan who helped Ning Que.

But she had believed in Buddhism all her life, and Qinghuan's attainments in Buddhism convinced her and made her admire him devoutly.

Qing Huan looked at Lu Chen Jia in surprise. Those clear eyes made Lu Chen Jia unable to speak any more. He felt that his body and mind were exposed. He asked uncomfortably, "What are you looking at?"

Qing Huan smiled and said, "The nympho who used to have a bright appearance but an empty heart has now started to fill up her inner self... Not bad, she looks much prettier now, and it's worth it for the Buddha to be tempted."

Although he already knew that the other party was known as the "evil monk", Lu Chenjia was still furious at this remark and said, "Believe it or not, if I leak the news of your presence, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Qing Huan shook her head and said, "Don't worry about me yet, worry about this city first!"

"Who's worried about you..."

Lu Chenjia retorted subconsciously, and then was stunned: "What's wrong with this city?"

Qing Huan pointed to the top of his head and said, "Dark clouds are covering the sky, can't you see it?"

Lu Chenjia frowned slightly and said, "You mean Ning Que is here? So what? Both Xiling and the Hanging Temple have sent people here."

Qing Huan smiled and said, "What the bald donkeys like most is to do things that hurt others under the banner of justice. It just so happens that Xiling is also good at this kind of thing... If these two parties get together, the people of the whole city will suffer."

Lu Chenjia was silent for a moment, then said, "If the daughter of Hades can die, it will be worth it even if there are sacrifices!"

Qing Huan patted his bald head and said, "If a thousand people die in this city in exchange for the death of Hades' daughter, would you be willing?"

Lu Chenjia said without hesitation: "Yes!"

Qing Huan asked again: "What about half of the people in the city? What about the whole city? What about half of the world? What about the whole world? Or let me ask it another way. Are you willing to use the lives of all the people you care about in exchange for the death of Hades' daughter?"

Lu Chenjia was silent and subconsciously looked back, not knowing what she was looking at.

Qing Huan smiled and said, "If it was the flower lover in the past, I wouldn't even bother to say this, because the flower lover at that time was only seeking fame and reputation, and only saw the beauty of the flowers on the surface, but not the blood behind them. You were just a heartless vase. But now you have made me look at you with new eyes...Aren't the smiles on the children's faces more beautiful than flowers?"

Lu Chenjia's eyes narrowed slightly. She liked coming to Qingjing Temple because she saw a different kind of beauty here.

The innocence of the young monks in Qingjing Temple brought her dead heart back to life.

Qing Huan waved her hands and said helplessly: "The Knights of Xiling are heading here. They have already planned to use the lives of the people in the city to kill the daughter of Hades. As for how many people will die in the process and whether the city will be destroyed, do they care?
To be honest, I don’t care, but the old monk refused to leave, which made me feel helpless.”

Lu Chenjia finally spoke up, "Is there anything else that makes you feel helpless? With your Buddhist teachings, can't you comprehend life and death?"

Qing Huan glanced at her and said, "I can only decide my own life and death, but the life and death of others is not decided by me! I can eat meat, drink alcohol, visit prostitutes and gamble, but I can't force other monks to do the same.

Everyone has his or her own Buddha nature waiting to awaken. Although most people will never awaken in their lifetime, the possibility always exists!
We can't wipe out the possibilities of everyone just because some people are confused, right?"

Lu Chenjia hesitated and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Qing Huan shook his head and said, "Buddhism talks about cause and effect. I have no cause and effect relationship with other people in this city, so their life and death have nothing to do with me. I only need to protect Qingjing Temple, the old monk, and the children in the temple.

But you are different. You are Princess Moon. Everything you enjoy is contributed by your subjects. You never had to worry about food and drink in the first half of your life because someone did the work for you. You were obsessed with beauty because someone took on your ugliness... You have a great cause and effect with everyone in this city!

So it’s not what I want you to do, but what you have to do… You have believed in Buddhism all your life, so I think you will understand.”

After thinking for a long time, Lu Chenjia stood up, bowed to Qinghuan, and left.

Qing Huan looked at her departing figure, smiled, and said, "The flower maniac who only loved her appearance but not her soul has finally come to his senses and lived up to the title of one of the three most foolish people in the world."

After saying that, Qing Huan didn't know what he was thinking of. He stood up and rushed out in a hurry, shouting, "Old monk, please don't give away all the meat I brought back..."

……

It is no longer a secret that Ning Que is hiding in Chaoyang City.

The Xiling Knights have arrived in Chaoyang City and are stationed outside the city. After informing the Yuelun Royal Family, they will directly break into the city.

However, what was thought to be the simplest thing turned out to be the biggest obstacle... The Moon Royal Family would not allow the Knights to enter the city!
The Yuelun Kingdom believes in Buddhism, which makes its subjects very cowardly. Although the country has a large area, its national combat effectiveness cannot even defeat the Dahe Kingdom.

But Yuelun is a country after all, and Xiling has to take their opinions seriously.

The battle between practitioners, if they do not care about ordinary people at all, will be a living hell!
Not to mention that Xiling also wants to get countless ordinary people in Chaoyang City involved.

……

A large-scale population migration was initiated in Chaoyang City, and the people in a certain urban area were relocated to other places. The person in charge of this work was Lu Chenjia.

If possible, she wanted to relocate all the people in the city, but that was impossible, so she could only clear out as much of the city as possible.

Such a movement naturally could not be hidden from anyone, and Ning Que, who was hiding here, soon realized that his position had been exposed.

Naturally, he wanted to take Sangsang away and continue hiding, but Lu Chenjia came to him.

Looking at the crazy girl in front of him, Ning Que clenched his knife.

Lu Chenjia said, "You can't hide it, so you might as well face it calmly to avoid implicating other innocent people."

Ning Que mocked, "How can a flower maniac who has always been obsessed with flowers actually care about the lives of innocent people?"

Lu Chenjia did not explain, but just said: "I will relocate all the people in this area, and the west gate will remain open. If you want to escape, I hope you can escape there..."

After a pause, Lu Chenjia continued: "If you really can't escape, go to Qingjing Temple. In short, don't go to crowded places." (End of this chapter)
