Chapter 258: The Scholar's Threat
Ben Qian saw Yifeng stepping forward, and subconsciously wanted to follow, but was pulled by Yuchuni.
Ben Qian wanted to break free, but she couldn't, Yuchuni had already grabbed her wrist.
The abbot master had an angry face on his face and shouted, "What are you three doing? We old immortals are not dead yet, and it will not be your turn!"
The fire monkey turned around and said with a smile: "Master Abbot, didn't you hear just now, Emperor Wu has deprived us of the qualification to be Buddhist monks, and we are not under your control now!"
Master Abbot was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the fire monkey to answer like this, his heart was both relieved and worried, and he was speechless for a while.
But when Elder Lifa heard this, he was even more angry, and with a move of his hand, the monks and soldiers behind him roared in unison and rushed up, and his footsteps shook the wide Du'e Bridge with a rumbling sound.
Before Zhan Yanzhang could speak, he was on guard, and the silver-armored soldiers behind Shu Yu also shouted in unison, aiming the cloud spear at the front, ready to attack.
Seeing this, Zu Yan Heavenly Master sneered, turned his head and glanced at Han Ling Heavenly Master, Han Ling understood, and shouted: "Shui Han!"
I saw that all the pale cyan sword lights in the ten thousand sword lights in the sky above my head were spinning, and they shot down rapidly, but they were not aimed at those monks, but at the wide Fangsheng River under the Du'e Bridge.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of pale cyan sword lights shot into the release river, and the release river immediately exploded, and all the splashes turned into ice edges of different sizes in the moment of explosion.
Countless sharp ice edges rushed straight into the sky, approaching the Du'e Bridge, suspended in the sky, and aimed at all the monks of Nanzong Temple.
Suddenly, in the sky above the Du'e Bridge, thousands of sharp edges turned straight and straight, and when they waited for an order, they slammed down towards the monks of Nanzong Temple.
Everyone felt the chill and murderous aura brought by these ice ridges, except for the people of Taiqingmen, no one else thought that the gourd soldiers of Taiqingmen were so powerful.
Zhan Yanzhang, Shuyu, Zheng Wenqi and others couldn't help but look at Zu Yan and others with admiration.
Elder Lifa was also shocked by the battle formation methods of the Taiqing Sect that he had never seen before, his face flashed, he gritted his teeth, and waved his hand unwillingly, so that all the monks and soldiers who rushed up to the bridge stopped and stopped behind him.
The fire monkey looked up curiously, looking at these shiny ice edges, he seemed to feel a familiar aura, but he couldn't tell what it was.
And he faintly felt that the cold air of these ten thousand ice ridges of different sizes seemed to be connected to the hundreds of Dao soldiers standing on the eaves opposite, I am afraid that those Dao soldiers are not comfortable now.
Zu Yan proudly looked at the monks of Nanzong Temple opposite, and said coldly: "If you dare to move again, I will let Nanzong Temple be completely wiped out in the Great Martial Kingdom!"
When the people of Nanzong Temple heard this, their faces were angry, but they really didn't dare to move.
Zhan Yanzhang looked at the Taoist magic power for a while, and said: "This general was ordered to hunt down the rebellious Buddhist monks of Nanzong Temple, and today is finally going to be over!"
Hearing this, the fire monkey came back to his senses from the ice ridge above his head, and smiled at Yifeng: "Little junior brother, it seems that he has a lot of appetite, not for you alone, even we have a share." Why don't you go back first, and we'll settle the accounts before you come out?"
Yifeng smiled: "I have been following you since I was a child, and today I finally have the opportunity to fight side by side with you, and I will not give up." β
The fire monkey also smiled and said, "Little junior brother, you have grown up, and your ambition is not small!
At this time, Shuyu on the other side interjected: "General Zhan, put your business aside for the time being, and when the matter between my scholar and Taiqingmen is over, it will be your turn, and everything will come first and come later." β
Zhan Yanzhang stiffened his face and said to Shu Yu: "Scholar, how dare you-"
"That's true!" Zu Yan took out a pale blue ancient sword from his waist, stared at the spine of the sword that bloomed with blue light in his eyes, and said lightly:
"What Taiqingmen is going to do, I'm afraid that Emperor Wu will hear it, and he will also give three points. If you don't believe it, you can try it, and see who Emperor Wu is looking for. β
When did Zhan Yanzhang ever suffer this kind of anger, his face turned iron-blue, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay! Lao Tzu will send this matter down first, and then go to Junzhou to have a good competition!"
At this time, Shuli sneered: "It's really funny, are we just a dish, you can't pick and choose at will? !
Hearing this, Shu Yu angrily reprimanded: "Who allowed you to die?!Didn't you ever teach you since you were a child, 'Parents who suffer from the skin of the body dare not destroy it?!"
Shuli said coldly: "You have driven us to the end of the road, and now you are coming to tell me what 'idiots don't know the father-son ceremony', isn't it ridiculous? What do you want, you have said it carefully, and I will give it to you!"
Shu Yu's face was cold, and he replied: "Teaching you to come out is to ask you to concentrate on cultivation, and I don't want you to dare to harm your fellow disciples, then return all the things that the scholar gave you! Save the scholar from being charged with treason and disobedience, and affect the family!"
When Shuli heard this, he took out the Ying Tianjing in his arms without hesitation and threw it over, and it happened that a calligrapher disciple caught it and held it to Shuyu.
Shu Yu glanced at it and said coldly: "It's not this! You know what it is!"
When Shuli heard this, he fell silent, lowered his head, and quietly looked at the Green Snake Sword in his hand.
The green snake sword emitted a green light, and the light still overflowed one by one, softly wrapping around Shuli's wrist, as if he had a premonition of something.
The fire monkey saw Shuli's state next to him, and groped into his arms.
Shuli was keenly aware of this, reached out and grabbed the fire monkey's hand, pulled his hand out, and shook his head lightly at him.
The fire monkey hurriedly said: "Fourth Senior Brother, the Green Snake Sword is your life, if you throw it away, what will you do in the future?"
Shuli shook his head again, shook his hand suddenly, and the Green Snake Sword drew a green crystal light in the air, shooting at Shu Yu, Shu Yu's eyes were sharp, and with a speed that was difficult for his eyes to see, he waved his hand violently, and grabbed the Green Snake Sword steadily.
The moment the green snake sword was grabbed by Shu Yu, it actually let out a long wail with great spirituality.
Shuli lowered his head, not daring to look over, but just grabbed the fire monkey's wrist tightly.
The fire monkey was caught by him, but he didn't snort, because he knew that Shuli's heart was probably more painful than him at this moment.
Shu Yu crossed the Green Snake Sword, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Shushan behind, his face was cold, and he said lightly: "What else?"
The fire monkey felt Shuli's hand grabbing him and trembled, Shuli raised his head sharply and said, "Even if I give you my life, I can't give it to you, you die of this heart, right?!"
The fire monkey's face was miserable, and he smiled bitterly: "Fourth junior brother, it's not necessary, it's really not necessary, this thing is not mine anyway, just give it back to them." β
Shuli turned his head suddenly, stared at the fire monkey's eyes with red eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is not just for you, I have lost the Green Snake Sword, and I have lost my greatest reliance!"
He shouted in a low voice: "This Fire Dragon Ball is related to a kind of divine que, you know how important it is! Only when you use it, can you protect the little junior brother and the little junior sister! The little junior brother can better protect the Buddha!"
The fire monkey smiled bitterly and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, why do you bother, it's a big deal, let's die together!"
Shuli shook his head and said in a low voice: "If you die like this, you will really be lighter than a feather, and you will be a big husband for nothing." I am determined to help the world, such as today's Taoism, to the imperial power and Confucianism and Taoism, if I can't straighten it out, then you will help me realize this wish. β
He sighed and said, "In addition, you have already signed a soul contract with the spirit of the Fire Dragon Ball, if the calligrapher gets it and finds out about it, I'm afraid they won't give up on you in this life." β
The fire monkey was stunned for a moment, and before he could say something, Shuli stopped and said, "These don't matter, the result is the same anyway." Maybe that's the fate. Senior brother, you don't have to care, just protect your younger brothers and sisters. β
Yifeng's eyes were red, and he said: "Fourth Senior Brother, don't worry, I will never live up to your wishes, your wishes are my wishes, only with this wish, we will join the Buddha!"
Shuli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, very good, junior brother." β
At this moment, Shu Yu said coldly: "Have you said enough, and when you finish speaking, you will return the things of the scholar." After you return, you will cause a catastrophe, and it is none of the business. β
Shuli turned around, raised a hand, and held it in front of his chest, like a Buddha salute, his palm shining with golden light, but his fingertips were covered with a layer of silver light.
He looked at Shu Yu indifferently and said lightly: "You gave birth to me, I am so far today, I am afraid it will also affect you a lot." When I fall into samsara, I beg God to never enter your book again in the next life!"
As he spoke, he suddenly flipped his palm sideways and slapped it on the top of his head!
Shocked, the fire monkey didn't have time to break free from Shuli's hand grabbing him, and used his other hand to grab Shuli's hand, but it was even more too late!
At this moment, Yifeng reacted the fastest, and he just had a premonition that Shuli was afraid that he would be under the coercion of the bookmaker, and he would do something unexpected, so he stared at him.
Just now, when he raised his palm to speak, Yifeng was already engrossed, and the moment he slapped it, Yifeng immediately punched out, and the golden light flashed, slapping Shuli's palm crookedly, and quickly grabbed his hand.
Shu Yu and the others were also startled when they saw this on the other side, and Shu Yu subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to stop it, but in fact, there was no time.
Fortunately, seeing that Yifeng and a punch saved his son, the two of them each grabbed one of his hands, and then they put their minds at ease, so they looked around and hurriedly withdrew their steps.
After a while, Shu Yu regained his cold expression and said lightly: "It's okay if you don't come back, then hand over your life and put it in the hands of the calligrapher, and let the calligrapher dispose of it, instead of you cutting yourself!"
He glanced at both sides and said, "In this way, under the witness of today's court generals and the people of Taiqingmen, the division between the calligrapher and the Buddha will not damage the reputation of the calligrapher." β
Shuli's hands were tightly grasped by the senior brother and junior brother, but he sneered and said: "This is the method of the calligrapher? This is the solar term of the calligrapher? Relying on the strength of the crowd, chasing and beating the declining Buddhism, it is really majestic!"
Shuyu said coldly: "'A gentleman sees an opportunity, and a master knows his fate. 'When the situation is like this, how can a calligrapher be able to influence it?'
Yifeng took Shuli's hand and persuaded: "Fourth Senior Brother, go back to the scholar's house! Don't you often teach me that the road is for the public, and as long as there is a righteous path in your heart, you will not be lost."
"And cultivating the Buddha and cultivating the mind, as long as you have the heart, becoming a monk or entering the world, it is just a different path to the same end. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and will not disappoint you. β
The fire monkey also took Shuli's hand and said with a smile: "Fourth junior brother, you also said that you want to jump into the abyss and feel the Buddha's teachings. Now that you are in the abyss of Buddhism, you are so impulsive, I don't think you can see it really. β
Then he also persuaded: "You might as well go back to the scholar's house first, change your perspective, take a good look, take a serious look, maybe you can find another way, and then come to help us, maybe the power is greater." β
He smiled: "Didn't you say that when you get lost, you want me to wake you up, don't worry, I won't let you go." β
Shuli lowered his head, and the two of them took his hand in contemplation, like a prisoner who had betrayed the Buddha's path.
After half a day, Shuli raised his head, Yifeng and the fire monkey let go of his hand, he looked at the two of them, and then looked behind him, and he saw Master Ran nodding at him with a calm face.
Shuli is clear that the master has entered the empty door, and all this now has a lot to do with him.
In the end, Shuli nodded to Master Ran, saluted him with his hands folded, and then turned and walked out.
It's just that his steps are heavy, his back is gloomy, and his monk's robe and scholar's bun are so wonderfully combined with him, as if they are the fetters and obstacles to his walking in the world.
Suddenly, the fire monkey stopped Shuli and said, "Fourth Senior Brother!"
Shuli turned around, and the fire monkey grinned and said, "What you exchanged for is my life, and I will protect it with my life!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out a crimson double-layered floating dragon pearl from his arms, opened his mouth and raised his head, and swallowed the legendary "Fire Dragon Ball"!
At this moment, Shuli was greatly moved, and a strong impulse suddenly appeared in his heart, he wanted to return to the two of them, even if they died together!
But he can't, if they die, there is really no hope for the Buddha.
With Yifeng's growth, there will only be more and more people who trust him and follow him, and if Yifeng has an accident here, Buddhism will really be completely erased by Emperor Wu.
Thinking of this, he just reddened his eyes, nodded lightly to the fire monkey and Yifeng, and then turned to leaveΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
