The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 192: Lu Chen exorcises demons by the river, and Xunyang City Donglin takes the blame (asking for monthly tickets)
"If he is really the legendary saint who never loses anything, then what we do will not affect him. But if he is really greedy, then if he falls into the trap, then we can't blame others."

Shao Gongshi and others may indeed be saints in the eyes of some people who uphold rites and rituals. They may not be as good as Zhou Gongdan, who is known as the Saint of Rites, but it is definitely not a loss for him to be ranked second to the Saint.

But in Lu Chen's eyes, Shao Gongshi was just a senior.

Perhaps this predecessor had a huge impact on the advancement of history, but that’s all.

Lu Chen expressed his respect.

But, it's just respect.

It is obviously impossible for Lu Chen to give up his prepared plan for such a senior.

Even if Shao Gongshi's father and brother, King Wen and King Wu of Zhou came in person, Lu Chen had the same attitude.

Perhaps only if the Lord of the Jueyin Palace, the first Heavenly King of the Six Heavens of Luofeng, Emperor Beitai, comes in person, will Lu Chen consider it.

After all, this Lord of the First Heaven has never shown up in this era, and very few people know his true identity.

However, Lu Chen had seen his name in some Taoist documents in reality.

"Zhen Gao" records: The Northern Emperor - Yan Emperor!
The word "Yan" in Yanhuang!
Lu Chen didn’t know whether the Emperor Beitai in this world was the Emperor Yan.

But if it is true, then if this person comes forward, even if his consciousness is equally distorted, Lu Chen would wonder whether he should give him some face.

After all, he is the ancestor of human civilization, a real ancestor.

"Master Lu, what are you setting up?"

The butterfly demon at the side finally couldn't help but ask.

Sometimes he plots against the Demon King, sometimes he plots against the Ghost King.

The butterfly demon looked at Lu Chen's warm face and felt a chill on her back.

The more handsome a man is, the more calculating he is, right?
Lu Chen smiled slightly and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want to lure out some people and confirm their identities. Anything else..."

Lu Chen looked towards the direction of Mount Lushan, his eyes deep: "I also want to see if some people will jump out directly."

Then, Lu Chen turned to look at Lu Song: "Now most of those who should know that something has changed here have already known it. Go and execute it. Call the Xiao family. They have waited for so long, it is time to take revenge."

"Yes!" Liu Bing agreed and turned to leave.

"Master Lu, where are we going?" asked the butterfly demon.

Lu Chen stamped his feet, and stomping clouds emerged from under his feet: "Go to Mount Lu!"

The butterfly demon didn't understand why they were going to Mount Lushan, but since Lu Chen said so, she just followed him.

The figure turned and turned into a pink butterfly again, landing on Lu Chen's shoulder. The white clouds rose into the sky and then went towards the direction of Mount Lu.

……

Inside Longquan Temple.

Presided over the meditation room outside.

Huiyong and Huiguan walked quickly under the guidance of Daojing from Longquan Temple.

"First Master, the host is discussing with Master Daosheng..."

"Get out of the way!"

The two young monks guarding the gate wanted to stop them, but were pushed away by Dao Jing.

The three of them pushed open the door and looked at the two people who were talking in the Zen room.

Daosheng and the other two also noticed that someone was coming. Huichi, as the host, immediately stood up and looked at Daojing: "Senior Brother Daojing, Senior Brother Huiyong, Senior Brother Huiguan, you came at the right time..."

"Namo Amitabha!"

Dao Jing put his hands together and interrupted Hui Chi: "Master, the two brothers are here to look for Brother Dao Sheng."

Daosheng looked at the three people and said calmly, "Looking for me? What's the matter?"

Hui Yong took two steps forward with a gloomy face, stared at Dao Sheng and said, "Wang Lingqi just left Xunyang. I wonder if Senior Brother Sheng knows about this?"

"I naturally know."

Daosheng chuckled and said, "Letting Wang Lingqi leave Xunyang, isn't that what Abbot Huibao asked us to do?"

Hui Yong said in a cold voice: "Wang Lingqi killed Mingzhi! Why didn't you say it earlier, brother! Why did you let Wang Lingqi go!"

The smile on Daosheng's face disappeared, and he looked at Huiyong: "Brother Huiyong, are you questioning me?"

"Correct!"

Hui Yong took another step forward, Buddha light appeared on his body, and he said word by word: "I am just asking you why you let Wang Lingqi go!"

Buddha light also emerged from Daosheng's body, suppressing the light from Huiyong. He stood up and said, "I remember when I was going down the mountain, Abbot Huibao said that I would be the leader this time. I said how to do it, and that's how you do it. Is that right?"

Seeing that Huiyong didn't say anything, Daosheng looked at Huiguan who came with him and said, "Brother Huiguan, what do you think?"

Huiguan opened his mouth, but immediately closed it and looked at Huiyong.

Hui Yong said disdainfully: "What I mean by taking you as the leader is to investigate the cause of Mingzhi's death. Since you knew that Mingzhi's tragic death was caused by Wang Lingqi, why didn't you tell me and the others? Instead, you arranged for someone to tell us after Wang Lingqi left?"

Daosheng said helplessly: "The destiny telepathy doesn't know everything. I have only learned a little bit. How can I know everything? If you don't believe me, can you use the destiny telepathy to try it yourself?"

After hearing this, Huichi who was standing next to him almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Huiyong, this big stupid guy, is more like Huibao's chief lackey than the head of the Discipline Hall. After becoming a Dharmakāya, he has no magical powers and is just an ordinary monk in the Dharmakāya realm.

Are you still trying to know your destiny?
If he really tried the most common clairvoyance, he would probably wake up laughing in his dream!
Hui Yongye understood the meaning behind Daosheng's words. He became so angry that his face turned black and he stared at Daosheng with an increasingly unfriendly look.

Dao Jing, who was standing beside him, saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately said, "Brother Daosheng, Brother Huiyong, since it has been confirmed that Wang Lingqi was the murderer of Junior Brother Mingzhi, the most urgent task now is to arrest Wang Lingqi instead of arguing about who is responsible."

Huiyong came back to his senses. He almost missed the point, so he nodded and said, "Brother Daojing is right. Brother Daosheng, can you come with us to arrest him now?"

Daosheng said helplessly: "I was just discussing this matter with Junior Brother Huichi. What's important now is not Wang Lingqi, but Huiyong and Junior Brother Huiguan."

"us?"

Huiyong frowned: "What's going on between us? Brother Daosheng is not deliberately looking for an excuse not to go, right?"

Daosheng shook his head slightly and said to Huichi: "Brother Huichi, please tell the other brothers."

"Alright."

Huichi nodded, then looked at Huiyong and the other two and said, "There have been more pilgrims coming to the temple these days. Do you know about this, brothers?"

Huiguan finally spoke up: "Isn't it a good thing that more pilgrims are coming?"

What's the big deal?

At most, it's a pretty good thing.

Dao Jing also nodded: "I also know that the number of pilgrims has increased. It must be because of the battle between Junior Brother Hui Yong and Wang Lingqi, and Abbot Hui Bao's coercion of the Demon King. The increase in pilgrims is natural."

"In order to protect the people, we, as monks who are dedicated to saving the world, must do our best."

Hui Yong listened to Dao Chi's words and smiled. Then he looked at Hui Chi and said impatiently, "Brother Hui Chi, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. The increase in pilgrims is related to me, but it is not a big deal."

"So it really has something to do with you, Senior Brother."

Hui Chi looked at Hui Yong and Hui Guan deeply and said, "Two senior brothers, these pilgrims are here to thank you. In recent days, the two senior brothers have helped the people in the city, killed monsters, and saved hundreds of people. They are here because of this matter."

Huiyong looked at Huiguan and asked in confusion, "Junior brother, have you been out to slay demons these days?"

Hui Guan was also confused: "Brother, you are joking. Since I came down the mountain, I have been staying with you. How can I have the time to kill demons and monsters?"

Huiyong thought about it and agreed.

Since coming down the mountain to Xunyang, the two have spent almost all of their time together.

"Two senior brothers, have you not yet realized the seriousness of the situation?"

Hui Chi said helplessly: "Because you killed too many demons, the demons have started to fight back. Many demons are persecuting the people, and the Crocodile King is also planning to break the agreement with us."

"What do you mean? I have killed too many demons?"

Now, not only Huiguan was confused, but Huiyong was also confused.

He killed the monster?
Why doesn't he know it himself?

Huichi nodded, his expression rather solemn, and continued: "This matter has already caused a stir. Senior Brother Daosheng went to investigate and found that there are indeed many monsters gathered in the river. I'm afraid that they will attack Xunyang in a short time. The two senior brothers are the instigators of this matter. If Xunyang is really attacked by monsters... I'm afraid that the two senior brothers..."

Huichi did not continue.

But the meaning is very clear. If the monster attacks the city, all the casualties may be blamed on these two people!
"what!"

Hui Yong's face changed and he shouted directly: "This is impossible! I have been in the temple the whole time and have never left Longquan Temple. What I just said was not what happened in the past few days, but what happened a few months ago!"

Huiyong finally realized that he had made a mistake and made a mistake!
Killing monsters at this time?

If Senior Brother Huibao knew about this, he would definitely scold me.

And the most important thing is that he really didn’t do it!

"Host, are you mistaken?"

Dao Jing frowned and said, "I have been with the two junior brothers these past two days and can testify for them that they have never been out. How can you talk about killing monsters?"

"I believe in my two brothers."

Hui Chi nodded: "But, do those monsters believe it?"

"Someone must be secretly interfering in this matter! I will definitely get to the bottom of it!"

Hui Yong gritted his teeth and said, "I will go to the dock right now and find the Crocodile King to explain the situation."

He was just about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he sensed waves of evil energy rising into the sky from the dock.

"This is……"

"There's an accident at the dock! It's the Alligator King!"

Daosheng and Huichi looked at each other.

Huiyong and Huiguan's expressions changed drastically!
If monsters attack the city because of these two people, it will have a great impact on Donglin Temple's subsequent plans!
Then, the two of them soared into the sky and rushed towards the dock.

Dao Jing's cultivation was weak, so he could only follow from a distance.

Daosheng and Huichi did not move immediately. After looking at each other, the latter said, "Brother, I am afraid that I will completely stand on your side this time."

Daosheng shook his head slightly: "Not on the side of this poor monk, but on the side of the real Donglin Temple."

As he spoke, he also sighed: "Teacher Huiyuan established Donglin Temple, but now it has been occupied by someone else. I cannot bear to see this."

Hui Chi had a complicated expression: "Hui Bao exiled me to Longquan because he didn't want me to be exposed to too many things in the temple. Now it seems that many people have been replaced."

"No, they are not able to replace it on a large scale yet."

Daosheng shook his head slightly: "As far as I know, Huibao and others' targets should only be some monks and lay people with profound Taoism. For example, Huiguan was not actually replaced. He was just frightened by the end of Buddhatuotra." Huiguan was not Huiyuan's disciple, but Buddhatuotra's disciple.

Buddha Toddara once preached and recruited disciples in Chang'an. When his followers were at their peak, he had two thousand disciples.

However, when Hu Xia conquered the Later Qin Dynasty, there was war in Chang'an. When Buddhatuotra left Chang'an and came to Mount Lu, he had only more than forty disciples around him.

Huiguan was one of them, and he was also a great disciple of Buddha Toddara.

"He was not frightened. I'm afraid Buddha Totra's arrogance also deceived him. If he could tell Huiguan and others about becoming an arhat, his disciples would not sit idly by and watch him being suppressed by Huibao and others."

Huichi shook his head slightly. Although Buddha Toddhaka had become an Arhat, he had never told anyone, not even his closest disciples.

This gave Huibao and others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"By the way, what did Buddhayasas bring that could bring these people back to life?"

Daosheng couldn't help but ask again.

"I once asked my brother, but he told me that it was a taboo that could not be opened. Moreover, it was also very difficult to open. I don't know what happened to open the taboo."

Huichi sighed. The brother he was referring to was naturally Huiyuan, the first abbot of Donglin Temple who had passed away. "However, what is certain is that it was brought from the West and may be related to the legendary Lingshan Mountain. Buddhayasas once asked my brother to seal it and said that it cannot be held for a long time. Otherwise, disaster will befall us."

He looked at Daosheng and said seriously, "They are similar to those ghosts in the Yin-Yang Realm, but they are different. They have complete consciousness and will not be forcibly absorbed by the Yin-Yang Realm. They are not easy to deal with."

Daosheng shook his head slightly: "Not all Yin Spirits will be forcibly taken away."

Daosheng thought of Lu Song who was beside Lu Chen.

"Perhaps only after I actually meet my brother will I know the truth." Huichi's face was filled with worry when he thought of this.

"Teacher Huiyuan was trapped in Huxi only temporarily. He can often appear on the Huxi Bridge and pass messages to passers-by, which means that he is fine for the time being."

Daosheng comforted him, "Besides, this time, Taoist Priest Lu will go there in person to find out the truth."

"Oh." Huichi sighed, but didn't say anything else.

His cultivation is not very deep, so now he can only place his hope on others.

"We should go and watch it. Even though it's just a play with a known outcome, it would be unreasonable not to go and watch it."

Tao gives birth to Tao.

Huichi nodded.

The two of them followed together.

But halfway through, the evil spirit that was rising into the sky quickly disappeared.

When everyone arrived at the scene, all they saw was a piece of charcoal.

Not only the Longquan Temple group arrived at the scene, but also officials, Taoists, and even some demon tribes showed up here.

Looking at the current scene, some monsters were baring their teeth at the human forces and were extremely vigilant. Some, seeing that the situation was not good, turned around and left.

"It's the demon tribe."

Liu Bing, the chief priest of Tianshi Dao, stepped forward to check the charcoal-like corpses. After a brief inspection, he said to the crowd, "Which master of Buddhism did this feat?"

His eyes swept over the many monks in Donglin Temple, especially Daosheng, Yong and Huiguan.

Not only Liu Bing, but other people and monsters also had their eyes on these three people.

"These charred monsters all have a faint Buddha light on their bodies, which means that they were done by a Buddhist monk who is proficient in Buddhism."

A middle-aged man wearing Lingbao Sect clothing also spoke up at this time, looking at Huiyong: "I heard that Master Huiyong and Master Huiguan are currently slaying demons in Xunyang City? I'm afraid this is related to the two masters."

Huiyong looked at the middle-aged Taoist and said coldly: "We two have never killed any demons or monsters."

"Haha, Master Huiyong, don't be so modest."

A scholar dressed as an official smiled and said, "Just the day before yesterday, someone reported that a demon was killing people and taking their hearts in the north city. When I led people there, I found that there was only Master Huiyong in the area..."

"That's not the poor monk!"

Huiyong interrupted the official and said, "The person you met is someone who deliberately framed me. When have I ever killed a demon before..."

At this point, Huiyong suddenly shut up.

The others looked at him strangely, and the man dressed as an official was even more shocked and said, "Master Huiguang summoned a demon that kills people and takes their hearts, so how can it be a frame-up? Could it be that... Master Huiguang thought someone killed the demon to frame you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huiyong was directly pushed to the forefront!

Kill the evil monster, and you say someone is framing you again?
So what do you mean?
Are you in cahoots with those evil demons?
If not, how could there be any frame-up?
It’s just that there are some things that are better to be understood in your heart, but cannot be spoken out loud!
It was obvious that Huiyong had violated some taboos, and some people looked at Huiyong with unfriendly eyes.

Humans and monsters are not absolute enemies, but humans and evil monsters that kill people and take their hearts are definitely mortal enemies. Many monster hunters travel the world just to slay monsters and eliminate evil.

Huiyong's words made these people feel unhappy, and they naturally looked at Huiyong and others with unfriendly eyes.

Of course, everyone is not a fool, it's just that killing demons at this time is likely to cause a war between humans and demons.

Some people guessed the truth of some things from Huiyong's words.

His behavior didn't seem fake, and the reason I suspected him was because it was too coincidental.

This happened just a few days after Daosheng, Huiyong and Huiguan arrived in Xunyang.

Huiyong was speechless. He was so angry that he lost his mind and started talking.

Dao Jing stepped out at this time, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Junior Brother Huiyong didn't mean that. What he said was that someone deliberately wanted to stir up a war between humans and demons and stir up trouble."

Although Dao Jing's words were a bit far-fetched, they made sense after all, and no one said anything more.

After all, Donglin and Longquan Temples are local tyrants.

And at this moment, a roar suddenly broke out outside the city.

Then, a roar was heard: "Donglin Temple! You have torn up the agreement and massacred my subordinates. I will fight you to the death! Kill all the Xunyang Blades!"

"It's the voice of the Crocodile King... Oh no, it wants revenge!?"

The middle-aged Taoist from Lingbao Sect's expression changed in shock, and he flew towards the voice.

Others followed suit, and the people from Donglin Temple were no exception.

Not long after, everyone finally arrived here, but there was nothing here.

"It is the Crocodile King's aura, no doubt. But has he left? Judging from the direction of the aura... it is heading to the Green Snake King's location. The two demon kings are about to merge."

The middle-aged Taoist said in a low voice: "This is a provocation. It is the Crocodile King declaring war on the human race."

He looked at Daosheng and the others, his eyes flickering: "Masters of Donglin Temple, what do you think?"

Dao Jing didn't know what to say. He looked at Huiyong and Huiguan with some doubts in his eyes.

You two really did it?

The crocodile king is a great demon at the Jindan stage. How could he not recognize people after such a big battle?
Ordinary illusions cannot hide from the eyes of the Crocodile King.

Since it said so, it has confirmed that it was done by someone from Donglin Temple.

Huiyong was so angry that he was shaking all over, and Huiguan was a little confused about what to do.

The blame is now firmly placed on the heads of both of them!

"I did not do that!"

Huiyong nearly bit his back teeth to pieces and didn't even say the word "poor monk".

He roared at the people around him, even using the Buddhist lion's roar.

"Crocodile King! Get out! Get out right here!"

"boom!"

The air wave surged in all directions like a cannonball hitting the target.

The others just watched this scene, indifferent.

Donglin Temple has actually taken the blame, so the matter must be resolved!
As for how to solve it...it's easy!
All the people in Donglin Temple went out to subdue and kill all the monsters around Xunyang.

Otherwise, everyone present would think that Donglin Temple was the one that started the incident, but would not deal with the aftermath, causing the people of the entire city to face the risk of being slaughtered by the monster!

If that time really comes, the reputation of Donglin Temple will plummet, and this emerging Buddhist holy place can be declared disbanded.

……

On a white cloud, the butterfly demon lay on Lu Chen's shoulder: "Master Lu, why did you throw the breath of the crocodile king outside the city? Can those people find it?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone will do this for us."

The butterfly demon was confused: "Someone? Who?"

Lu Chen smiled but said nothing.

……

On a hill outside Xunyang City, Wang Lingqi held a whisk in one hand and put the other hand behind his back, looking at a gust of air that suddenly appeared in the distance - that was the effect of Huiyong's Buddhist Lion's Roar.

He sneered: "Want to kill me? You should deal with your own troubles first!"

Wang Lingqi's disciple drove quickly from the bottom of the mountain. When he arrived beside Wang Lingqi, he bowed to him and said, "Master, it has been completed. When I came back, I also found that the Crocodile King had indeed joined forces with the Green Snake King."

"Well done." Wang Lingqi nodded.

The disciple looked puzzled and asked, "Master, why did you let me pretend to be the crocodile king and say those words? If the crocodile king knew, wouldn't he come out on his own?"

The declaration of war from the Crocodile King outside the city was not spoken by the real Crocodile King.

Rather, it was a disciple of Wang Lingqi who shouted out in disguise!

As for why Wang Lingqi knew that the aura of the Crocodile King would appear outside Xunyang City, it was naturally because of a letter from Yuzhang.

"Haha, don't worry. The beast Crocodile King looks fierce, but he is actually very cautious and timid."

Wang Lingqi waved the whisk in his hand to clear away the aura of his disciple: "I have been pretending to be injured for so long, this evil beast dared not emerge from the river. This time his foundation has been almost completely wiped out, and he will not jump out anymore."

The disciple seemed to be thinking about something.

Wang Lingqi turned around and said: "Let's go, now that we have finished this matter, the rest has nothing to do with us."

The disciple asked, "Master, are you going to Yuzhang?"

He knew that his master had left the city because of a letter from King Jiangxia who was staying in Yuzhang.

"Yuzhang?"

Wang Lingqi smiled and said, "Why should I go to a place where Xu Lingqi is? Inform others to go to Mount Lushan to look for Xu Huangmin! This guy, did he really think that I can't find him? Ma Han and Ma Lang went to Mount Lushan quietly, and Sun Haoran also went to Mount Lushan... Humph, they really want to die and never return to Mount Maoshan... However, the Shangqing Sect has gathered in Mount Lushan, so naturally I can't be missing!"

"promise!"
