"How can this be possible?" Lu Chen was shocked.
It is true that he likes treasures, but that doesn't mean he has to snatch the treasures from his fellow senior sister.
Lu Chen could not do such a thing that would destroy his character.
The head of the Xiong family said at this time: "Master Ruchen, please don't refuse. Huifa said that if someone in the family is blessed, the treasure will recognize its master. Otherwise, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing."
Xiong Huailiye sighed and said, "My brother once said that my Xiong family has had a relationship with these treasures for more than ten years. Today, it seems that the fate has ended. Forcing the treasure to stay will only bring disaster to my Xiong family."
"This……"
Seeing all the Xiong family members say this, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and then stopped delaying: "Then thank you, Senior Sister, and thank you, Patriarch Xiong."
Lu Chen thanked him.
The head of the Xiong family also breathed a sigh of relief.
The three treasures left by Guangfa were finally all given away.
Just as Xiong Huaili said, the three treasures left by Guangfa were not good things for the Xiong family.
After acquiring these three treasures, the Xiong family's situation became worse and worse, and now they almost encountered a disaster of being wiped out.
If the Bodhisattva statue had not appeared, the Xiong family might have kept the treasure.
But now I dare not even think about it.
The consequences are too serious and his Xiong family can't afford to get involved.
This is also the reason why, even though they knew that the disciple of Master Jin Guang had already escaped with the relic, they did not even bother to chase after him.
In the eyes of the Xiong family, these three treasures are not treasures that can protect the clan.
Instead, it is the root of disaster and the seed of misfortune!
If you send it out early, you can also establish a relationship with the immortal disciples of Sanxing Cave.
If there are any more problems in the future, there will be opportunities to speak up, right?
Lu Chen knew this and only then did he accept the treasure. However, he has now been targeted by a being of the same level as Guanyin Bodhisattva.
A few minor issues... but they are just minor issues.
After receiving the gifts, Lu Chen and his companions felt it was not convenient to leave like that.
Instead, he stayed in the Xiong family and watched how the situation developed.
The crying sounds around were gradually spreading.
Even Brother Guangyuan, who has the highest level of cultivation here, does not have the ability to bring the dead back to life, let alone others.
Nature can do nothing to help.
The monks were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, chanting Buddhist scriptures. They were under guard. It was obvious that the Xiong family had no intention of going to help, as they were dealing with their own affairs.
It seems like everyone has forgotten how the suffering of ordinary people came about.
Lu Chen and his companions had nothing to do, so they went to treat the injuries of ordinary people.
Most people were still terrified, and a few people stared at Senior Brother Guangyuan and Senior Brother Huizhi with extremely hateful eyes, not allowing them to treat them.
Guangyuan turned around and walked away indifferently, with an attitude of "it's up to you to treat it or not, forget it if you don't want to treat it". Senior Brother Huizhi, with a guilty look on his face, walked up to talk to those people and explained everything in detail.
Because Lu Chen was wearing the same three-star robe with a slanting moon pattern as Senior Brother Guangyuan and Senior Brother Huizhi, and there were blood spots on his body, he was naturally hated by some people.
Lu Chen has the same opinion as Senior Brother Guangyuan. If you can help, then help. If you can't help, or if you are not allowed to help, then forget it.
The way is natural, just follow your heart.
Soon, the disciples and servants of the Xiong family had almost cleaned up the corpses on the battlefield.
The Xiong family did not kill those monks, but detained them one by one. It sounded like the Xiong family members meant to let them go after a few days.
Lu Chen couldn't help but be speechless.
Just let him go like that?
Shouldn't we select the murderers who killed the Xiong family and execute them as a deterrent?
Lu Chen asked this in private, and Zhenruo's answer made people sigh: "After all, Buddhism is the master of Xi Niu Hezhou, and my Xiong family can't afford to provoke it."
"Fighting on the battlefield means life and death."
"But if we kill the prisoners... it will definitely lead to even more terrible retaliation!"
Zhenruo looked quite helpless.
After hearing this explanation, Lu Chen was speechless.
"It seems that I am not qualified to be a person in power." Lu Chen had some understanding of the Xiong family's decision.
This is a mythological world and also the base of Buddhism.
The Xiong family does not have a very strong background. Their biggest background is that their family has had a human emperor for many generations, and the next one is Zhenruo.
However, these relationships are not very reliable.
If they kill the captive monks without authorization, it is likely to lead to countless retaliations. Perhaps this is the best option, at least for the Xiong family.
In fact, even if they were to detain someone, the Xiong family would not dare to detain them for too long.
The Xiong family is not planning to stay in Yeming City any longer, and when the day comes for them to move away, they are also going to let these monks go.
All members of the Xiong family have been discussing moving out of Yeming City, and some are even preparing to leave for Nantu Kingdom.
After much discussion, the head of the Xiong family made the final decision.
Leave, walk out of Yeming City, walk out of Nantu Kingdom.
Go all the way to the southeast, cross the ocean, and go to the land of Jambu Continent.
Of course, for a large family, even if they travel light, it will still take a lot of time.
All of the Xiong family’s industries need to be sold, and the route must be planned to go around the demon king’s caves and Buddhist temples.
The Xiong family's methods of finishing off the matter were also very quick, and they sold every resource they could.
There was no time to even plan a funeral for the family members, they just hurriedly burned and buried the victims.
Except for the body of the second ancestor of the Xiong family, who had the highest seniority, who was preserved using special means, the bodies of the rest of the Xiong family members were reduced to ashes in the fire.
While the surrounding cities were still unaware of the Xiong family's fate, the Xiong family sold all of their resources.
Since there was nothing important to do, Lu Chen and the other two had some free time. They just wandered around and took in the customs and culture of Yeming City.
According to Senior Brother Huizhi, since you have received benefits from others, you must help and support them to the end.
Not to mention escorting them to Southern Continent, we have to wait until the Xiong family has dealt with the matter.
Lu Chen also put away the Yin-Yang Compass. Although he was eager to go home, it was not a good idea to just run away at this time.
Senior Brother Guangyuan had an indifferent attitude and followed his two junior brothers Huizhi and Lu Chen.
The sun sets in the west and the sky darkens.
As the last ray of red sunlight disappeared into the sky, Yeming City seemed to be covered with a thick black veil.
In a three-story attic of the Xiong family that was not affected too much by the battle, Huizhi looked at the dark city in the distance and sighed: "It is said that the Night Bright City has thousands of lights at night, as if the sun never sets, but now it is no longer the same as before."
Lu Chen also took a look at Yeming City in the dark night.
After the great battle, Yeming City also suffered a disaster. Although most areas were safe, no one dared to light a fire at night or go out for fun at this time. "Hmm?"
Lu Chen suddenly saw a group of people quickly moving out from the Xiong family. Everyone was holding weapons and wearing black clothes and masks.
"Over there is..."
Lu Chen's gaze followed the direction in which the men in black were walking and looked into the distance.
"City Lord's Mansion." Huizhi said lightly.
Lu Chen was a little dazed, and then fell silent.
The Xiong family suffered a disaster, so they must take revenge.
The Buddhist sect was so powerful that the Xiong family didn't even dare to kill the captives, and they felt very frustrated.
Now it is obvious that this anger is directed at the Nantu Kingdom, which betrayed the Xiong family at that time.
The person with the highest status and position in the Nantu Kingdom in Yeming City is the City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Chen had nothing to say about this. Since he had chosen to take sides, he had to bear the consequences of failure.
"Brother, do you have any complaints about staying in Yeming City?" Huizhi suddenly asked.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "After all, the Xiong family gave me the treasure, so it is only natural for me to stay in the city to take care of it for a few days. Besides..."
Lu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you also want to see how Junior Brother is doing, right?"
Huizhi nodded slightly: "Junior brother, you should also know that we in Sanxing Cave are cultivators who live in seclusion. Although everyone in the Immortal Mansion practices cultivation, the ancestor does not participate in the fights between the parties. Therefore..."
He didn't continue speaking, but Lu Chen could understand what he said. He also understood it in his heart, so he didn't blame Huizhi.
This is also for the sake of the Immortal Palace. Lu Chen smiled heartily: "If there is a problem with Junior Brother, it will be revealed in the next few days. If he really brings karma to the Immortal Palace after returning to the mountain gate, it will be Junior Brother's fault, and I will also feel uncomfortable."
Guangyuan said, "Actually, there is another point. The teacher only gives a sermon once every ten days. No one knows whether the teacher is still in the mountain gate at other times."
Huizhi nodded, he also had this thought.
Master Subhuti is too mysterious, and his fellow disciples have long speculated that Sanxing Cave might just be a place where the master stayed.
It is possible that the master was not in the immortal palace during the rest of the time after preaching for ten days.
Lu Chen didn't want to talk about this topic. The more he talked about it, the more he felt weird. Deep in his heart, he would always think of some things related to Buddhist scriptures.
From time to time, some strange ideas would pop up in my mind.
What does this scripture mean, what is the meaning of that Buddha's words... In short, it's very strange.
He changed the subject and looked at Huizhi: "Brother, what do you want to say on the battlefield?"
Lu Chen remembered that when Xiong Huaifa talked about Senior Brother Guangfa, he was very dissatisfied. Huizhi wanted to say something, but he didn't say it: "Is it about Senior Brother Guangfa?"
Huizhi looked at Lu Chen, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head slightly: "Nothing."
"Senior Brother Guangfa is a very kind person." Guangyuan said lightly.
Lu Chen and the others looked back and saw Senior Brother Guangyuan thinking: "Senior Brother Guangfa is different from Senior Brother Guangdao. Senior Brother Guangdao is ambitious and sharp. He will do whatever he wants. When I was six years old, Senior Brother Guangdao came down the mountain with a sword, killed demons and divided the land. From then on, he traveled around the world, free and easy."
Senior Brother Guangyuan looked at Huizhi again: "As for Senior Brother Guangfa, Junior Brother Huizhi also knows him, he is kind and loving, and he loves and cares for every junior brother. Senior Brother Guangdao just likes to do good deeds, but Senior Brother Guangfa teaches the most junior brothers. Although we are not master and disciple in name, we are master and disciple in reality."
Huizhi nodded silently, and slowly said, "The trend of discussing scriptures in the sect was started by Senior Brother Guangfa. Senior Brother Guangdao left the sect earlier, before the Zhi generation was completed. I have never met the eldest brother, but I have learned more about him from the classics and essays he wrote. In general, he should be the same as what Senior Brother Guangyuan said."
"However, Senior Brother Guangfa left the mountain gate fifteen years ago. At that time, I had already entered the sect. During the time when I entered the sect, it was Senior Brother Guangfa who took care of me many times."
At this point, he paused, his voice questioning, "Brother Guangfa is not as talented as Brother Guangdao, but he is also a genius. It's just that his fame has been suppressed by Brother Guangdao. After Brother Guangdao, Brother Guangyuan also began to show his talent."
Huizhi smiled at Guangyuan apologetically: "Brother Guangyuan, is it okay for me to say this?"
Guangyuan shook his head calmly: "My talent is indeed very good, not much worse than that of Senior Brother Guangdao, but Senior Brother Guangdao left the mountain when I was ten years old, so I can't really say how high his talent is."
Lu Chen: “…”
Although you said this with a blank expression on your face, why do I feel like you are pretending?
Guangyuan looked at Lu Chen again: "Of course, whether it is me or Senior Brother Guangdao, we cannot compare with Junior Brother Ruchen in terms of talent, understanding and root bone."
Lu Chen glanced at Guang Yuan with an indifferent expression, and replied calmly: "Senior Brother, you are too kind."
"Snapped!"
Huizhi tapped Lu Chen on the forehead and scolded him with a smile: "Don't learn from Senior Brother Guangyuan. Senior Brother grew up in the mountains since he was a child. He doesn't understand the ways of the world. He is only interested in seeking the truth. The environment in which his mind was cultivated is different from ours."
Lu Chen shrank his neck and grimaced.
Brother Guangyuan has been living in the mountains since he was a child.
The meaning of "since childhood" refers to the fact that he entered the mountain gate since he was born.
It was Senior Brother Guangdao who snatched it from the mouth of a monster at the foot of the mountain. Being able to enter the mountain gate meant that he had a destiny with the master. It happened to be the ninth year since the master started to accept disciples.
From then on, he became the ninth disciple of the Guang generation and was given the name Yuan, which means 'the beginning of all things, a new year', because of his new life. Of course, it also means to let him cut off worldly ties down the mountain and seek the truth in a new life.
Guangyuan shook his head slightly: "Don't blame Junior Brother Ruchen."
He looked at Lu Chen with some curiosity: "Does my expression... make people feel funny?"
There was curiosity and inquiry in those bright eyes, without a trace of impurities.
Lu Chen didn't know why, but he felt a little sympathy for Brother Guangyuan, as well as guilt for his previous prank.
"If I apologize, it might be a greater insult to Brother Guangyuan..."
Lu Chen guessed in his mind and said, "Brother, you are calm and composed, and your mind is natural. I really want to learn this mentality."
Tilting his head, Guangyuan looked even more curious: "Oh, is that so?"
He is dressed in white, like an immortal, so handsome that he cannot be considered mortal.
Simple as a child, always with a childlike heart.
If this gesture were to happen in the real world, how many girls' cheeks would be blushed and how many young women would think he was the man in his dreams?
The scene of Brother Guangyuan being chased by countless women asking for photos and autographs emerged in Lu Chen's mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched.
Guangyuan looked thoughtful, and imitated Lu Chen's behavior by curling the corners of his mouth, instantly destroying his cold and elegant immortal demeanor.
Lu Chen: “…”
Will he learn from me again?
He must be learning from me!
The corner of Huizhi's mouth twitched, and he quickly stopped the increasingly devastating scene: "Ruchen, stop being weird. Senior Brother Guangyuan has a pure heart."
"Yes, senior brother."
Lu Chen quickly regained his composure, thinking not to teach Brother Guangyuan bad things.
This kind of pure heart is the easiest to progress quickly on the path of cultivation. Brother Guangyuan should still maintain a pure and natural state.
I feel dizzy and my cold and fever haven't recovered yet, so I'd better post all the big chapters at once.
