Chapter Ninety-Four: Managing the Future and Running for a New Journey

Han Xiaoyue took everyone out of the scripture building, but Mingtong stayed behind to be the last funeral in the scripture building. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info King Zhou was afraid of going on a business trip again, so he embarked on the road back to the dynasty at that moment. Zhao Zhun and Han Xiaoyue resolved their grievances and met again in Beijing. At this moment, the courtyard of the dry temple has returned to its former emptiness.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the scripture building. Everyone looked back, only to see that the dome of the Tibetan Scripture Building suddenly collapsed, and a huge roar accompanied by billowing smoke came to their faces. Everyone hurriedly retreated, but they couldn't dodge and ate a nose of ash. As the dome collapsed, the fire enveloped the building and the surrounding monks' houses together, igniting an even bigger fire. I only heard the burning fire, and there was a faint sound of deep and shallow footsteps in the building. "Is there anyone else?" Han Xiaoyue muttered to herself and looked intently into the building.

In the firelight, two black shadows were stumbling out. "Isn't this the Spirit Source Master and Li Yanliang?" Situ Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and everyone could see clearly that it was these two people. Seeing that the hair of the Spirit Source Master was dyed black, and his clothes were burned with two or three holes, he looked drowsy, and his feet were shaking weakly, obviously inhaling too much smoke and dust and causing him to faint. Li Yanliang's face was full of black light, as if Zhang Fei was reincarnated, he was young and vigorous, and he still had the strength to support others at this moment. The two of them came out of the building, didn't care about anything else, and fell down in front of everyone as if relieved.

Situ Sheng took two steps forward and said, "Li Yanliang, what's wrong with the Spirit Source Spring Master?" Li Yanliang gasped and said, "Master Quan...... He just took two steps and he couldn't! As he spoke, he stroked his chest vigorously and continued, "Fortunately, Master Quanshi was witty and taught me to run in the direction of the smoke before I fainted. After all, it's a few years old, and in the end, it still doesn't support it......" As he spoke, he suddenly glared at Situ Sheng, got up and grabbed him by the neck and said, "Situ Sheng, why didn't you help Master Quan at that time!" ”

Situ Sheng let go of his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "After a long time, you still haven't figured out the situation?" Do you really want to duel with you? I did this on purpose, so that the old monk could ......" and felt that no amount of explanation was meaningless, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it! I can't recognize this little trick, and it's useless to spend more words! However, you kid can be regarded as a righteous man, and you didn't leave Master Quan alone when disaster came......" As he spoke, Li Yanliang raised his arms with a wry smile. Only then did Situ Sheng realize that the Spirit Source Master had locked his veins with his right hand when he was unconscious. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid Li Yanliang would have fled for his life a long time ago.

Li Yanliang widened his eyes and looked around, only to find that Han Xiaoyue was also looking at him, and couldn't help but sneer: "Han Xiaoyue, you also ran out?" Why didn't you burn you inside? As he spoke, he touched his double axe, but he was nowhere to be found. Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "It's really disappointing you!" As he spoke, he said to Ding Yuechan: "Miss Yuechan, if we are on the same road, these two people will never be together." As he spoke, he pointed to the Spirit Source Master and Li Yanliang and continued, "If Situ Sheng insists on taking them with him, then I can only say goodbye to you here!" ”

Ding Yuechan hurriedly said: "Wait! Of course we're not going to walk with either of them anymore! As he spoke, he glanced at Situ Sheng and said, "Are you going with them, or are you going with us?" Ding Yuechan kicked the choice to Situ Sheng. Situ Sheng pondered for a moment, but Yu Zhengmei was anxious and said, "Between them and my fourth sister, you are still hesitating?" I'm starting to wonder now, was it really the right choice to promise you to be with the fourth sister in the first place? After hearing this, Situ Sheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy! I have something to say! ”

Saying that, Situ Sheng said in his heart: "These two people are not self-sufficient, they are more brave and less wise. With them, sooner or later I will die without a place to be buried! As soon as the words fell, Li Yanliang stretched out his hand and pointed: "Good you Situ Sheng!" What Master Quan said is true, you are just being bewitched by women! And now, you want to be separated from us? Yu Zhengmei stepped forward and kicked him to the ground and said: "How can this be reasonable!" What does it mean to be seduced by a woman? Why do you men always blame women for your mistakes? If you dare to say more, I will tear your mouth apart immediately! Li Yanliang listened, hurriedly shut up, gasped for breath and stopped talking.

Situ Sheng had a plan in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Don't use this sentence to press me!" Tell the Spirit Source Master that we are going to Nanxun all the way, don't try to follow us! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! As he spoke, he secretly shouted in his heart: "Li Yanliang, Li Yanliang, that's it, don't be stupid again!" Yu Zhengmei immediately heard that although what Situ Sheng said was ruthless, he had already revealed everyone's itinerary to Li Yanliang. But seeing that Ding Yuechan didn't seem to see through it, she was worried that Dao Po might make her even more sad, so she opened her eyes and closed her eyes without revealing it. Although Li Yanliang didn't understand the intention of what Situ Sheng said, he didn't dare to say anything more when he saw him so angry.

The fire burned for five days and five nights, except for the Daxiong Hall and the abbot's room in the courtyard, the rest of the monks' houses were burned down, and the scripture building was burned to the point that only the gray-black exterior wall remained. The building was burned clean, leaving only three or four feet of ashes and ruins of scriptures. The rumors that Han Xiaoyue killed Mingji from the Kuzen Temple circulated among the people, and the folk even said that the Kuzen Temple was burned down by Han Xiaoyue, so that the people's resentment boiled, and the people secretly cursed. Cui Zhixian did not dare to disobey the will of the people, and he was silent about the murder of Mingji, and even kept silent about the fire in the dry temple. And all he could do was to set up checkpoints on the periphery of the Kuzen Temple, strictly prohibiting the people from entering.

The Spirit Source Master had woken up a few days earlier, but his body had not yet recovered from the injuries caused by the fire. Due to inhaling a large amount of smoke, I still felt stuffy in my chest until this time, and every breath was particularly difficult, so I naturally didn't dare to act rashly. Han Xiaoyue and Li Jingxian waited for the fire to stop before they dared to find the bodies of the four masters. Mingji, Mingjing, and Mingde sat on the couch in the abbot's room, like three living Buddhas, and the blood on their faces had not diminished after five days. The two entered the scripture building to find Mingtong's body, but they couldn't find it anyway.

"Brother Han, will Master Mingtong's body be burned to ashes?" Li Jingxian walked as he walked. Han Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "A monk like him who has attained the Tao, even if he is burned by the flames, he will leave his own Buddha bone relics. But Master Mingtong didn't leave anything, this doesn't make sense......" As he spoke, the two of them came out of the scripture building and went to the courtyard.

Ding Yuechan was waiting in the courtyard, and when she saw the two of them coming out, she immediately stepped forward and said, "How is it, have you found it?" Han Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "We searched all over the Scripture Building, but we didn't find anything at all. Yu Zhengmei said: "Could it be that someone snatched it?" Or is he not dead at all? Han Xiaoyue said, "Who will save him in the fire?" Besides, I saw the crumbling bookshelf behind him. Situ Sheng smiled and said, "If he doesn't have a single relic, it proves that he is not a master at all." Then, in a hoarse tone smoked by fire, the Spirit Source Master added, "Not bad. The old monk once said that he was still a 'poor monk' in the dry temple for decades. It seems that there is indeed a reason for him. ”

Han Xiaoyue said, "I would rather believe that Master Mingtong did not die in the fire, but was rescued by others. Li Jingxian said: "How do we place the bodies of the other three masters now?" Han Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "After all, Kuzen Temple is a century-old temple here, and there are many believers. I think it is indeed a good choice to enshrine the three masters in the Daxiong Palace. Li Jingxian nodded and said, "Not bad." I believe that the spirits of the three masters in heaven will definitely protect the peace of this place! After hearing this, the Spirit Source Master sneered: "Three dead people, who can they protect?" ”

Han Xiaoyue ignored it and walked straight into the abbot's room with Li Jingxian. Ding Yuechan was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Yu Zhengmei and said, "Fourth sister, let them do this kind of thing." The others were even more uninterested, standing in the courtyard and watching Han Xiaoyue and Li Jingxian move the bodies of the three masters to the courtyard in turn. At this time, the sunlight happened to rise above the Daxiong Hall and sprinkled on the bodies of the three masters. I saw that the blood on the corpse's face instantly became lighter, and a faint colorful light emanated from the top of the head. "Fourth sister, look!" Seeing this, Yu Zhengmei hurriedly stretched out her hand to point. Everyone should be overlooked, and they can't help but open their mouths wide in shock.

This is the so-called "feather ascension to heaven", which is the process of "rainbowization" after the death of a monk, and it is said that only a monk who has attained the Tao can do so. After the death, the flesh is rainbowized by light, and gradually dissolves with the colorful light, and finally only the flesh and bones remain. Ming Ji and the other three senior monks had obviously cultivated to this level. Everyone witnessed the three monks' originally ruddy faces slowly becoming darker and darker, the flesh on their bodies slowly melting like ice and snow, and the lotus clothes on their bodies slowly falling to the ground. In less than a stick of incense, the colorful light above the heads of the three monks slowly faded, and only dark brown skin remained on their bodies, tightly wrapping the skeleton.

Just when everyone was still speechless in shock, the Spirit Source Master suddenly snorted and said, "What's all the fuss about? The old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen a lot of this kind of trick. Perhaps, these three people are just three walking corpses for a long time! As soon as the words fell, Han Xiaoyue shouted: "Bastard! I don't allow you to say that about the three masters! The Spirit Source Master was hindered that his body had not yet healed, so he smiled and said, "You can only drink a few words while the old man is unwell." When the old man is well, see how I clean you up! ”

How could Li Jingxian allow others to treat Han Xiaoyue like this? I saw him take a few steps forward, raise his hand and slap him in the face, and the right cheek instantly turned red. "Stinky boy, you're looking for death!" The Spirit Source Master sat cross-legged on the ground and cursed, but he looked very funny because he couldn't use his strength. Han Xiaoyue grabbed Li Jingxian and said, "Okay, it's okay......" Li Jingxian said: "Brother Han, what are you holding me for?" Let me clean up this old thing! Han Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "Forget it, he is also a figure with a face in the rivers and lakes." Being slapped by you is really ashamed enough. As he spoke, he glanced at him contemptuously and continued, "Spirit Source Master, if you speak disrespectfully to the three masters, sooner or later you will regret it!" ”

After hearing this, the Spirit Source Master seemed to have forgotten the slap he had just received, and laughed and said, "Regret? The old man never knew what regret was! Li Jingxian shouted: "Retribution! Do you understand retribution? The Spirit Source Master looked up to the sky again and laughed, "Retribution? Hahahaha...... "Everyone didn't expect that the Spirit Source Fountain Master's laughter had been laughing wildly for more than half an hour, until everyone felt that their hairs stood on end, and they felt a chill in their hearts. "Is he crazy?" Li Jingxian pouted and said, "I feel bad for him!" ”

Not long after Li Jingxian's words fell, Situ Sheng noticed that blood was slowly flowing from the nostrils of the Spirit Source Fountain. "Master Quan, don't laugh! You're bleeding! Situ Sheng pointed at the tip of his nose and shouted. After hearing this, the Spirit Source Master reached out to touch it, and indeed touched a hand of blood, and suddenly stopped laughing like a ghost possessing him. "Blood...... Why am I bleeding......" The Spirit Source Master said to himself with a frown. Then, I suddenly felt a suffocation in my chest, a stream of acid water surged upwards from my stomach, and suddenly a "wow" squirted out vomit. This was followed by another "wow", and a large mouthful of blood gushed out. There was not a drop of blood left, and it was all splattered on himself.

Seeing this, Li Yanliang shouted and dodged, and everyone covered their noses and dodged back. The Spirit Source Master was immediately at a loss, only to feel that his mind was empty, and his eyes flickered for a while, and then he couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly. Situ Sheng looked at the Spirit Source Spring Master and said, "Spring Master, what's wrong with you?" "The Spirit Source Master's eyes were bloodshot at this time, and it was obvious that he was poisoned. Li Yanliang shouted: "He can't be evil!" As he spoke, he looked at Situ Sheng and said, "Shall we save him?" Situ Sheng pouted and said, "Evil? How to save? I don't have that ability......" he said, flashing to the side. The Spirit Source Master suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. Han Xiaoyue secretly shocked in her heart: "This is the so-called retribution!" It came so fast! ”

Han Xiaoyue and Li Jingxian didn't pay attention to him, so they first placed the bodies of the three masters under the huge Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall, rearranged the futon, and surrounded the big Buddha and the three masters in the center. When Han Xiaoyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but think of the ten tests that Mingji had laid on herself and Yan'er here, and she was very emotional. The two of them bowed three times to the bodies of the three masters, and then stood up. Walking out of the Daxiong Hall and looking at the courtyard of the Kuzen Temple, a boulder in Han Xiaoyue's heart fell to the ground. In this courtyard, he and Li Jingxian had dealt with Chi Hai, passed ten tests with Long Yan, and worshiped heaven and earth with Mu Yaqin...... Now the Kuzen Temple has been burned to ashes, leaving only the Daxiong Hall and the lonely place that tells that the Kuzen Temple once existed. The immortal death of the three eminent monks was really distressing, which made Han Xiaoyue feel guilty.

The more Han Xiaoyue thought about it, the more she stood there. Li Jingxian pulled him and said, "Brother Han, I know what you are thinking." I still remember that I once told you in the secret room, even if everyone in the world misunderstands you, I, Li Jingxian, am absolutely on your side! Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "I know enough of this sentence." As he spoke, he turned around and said, "Let's go on our way!" Yu Zhengmei and Ding Yuechan nodded yes. Situ Sheng glanced at Li Yanliang, and said in his eyes: "Li Yanliang, you must understand what I said!" ”

Li Yanliang saw that they packed up and prepared to leave, so he hurriedly said, "Hey! Do you really care about me and the Spirit Fountainhead? After saying that, no one wanted to pay attention. Looking at Situ Sheng in a blink of an eye, he shouted: "Situ Sheng! Don't you care about me too? Situ Sheng scolded in his heart: "This idiot, why don't you understand?" Thinking of this, he turned around and said, "There are too many people with you, you can solve it yourself!" ”

Li Yanliang listened, and was about to catch up again. I saw that the Spirit Source Fountain Master suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and used his last internal force to slap Li Yanliang's back heart. Li Yanliang screamed and looked back, and saw the Spirit Source Master prostrate on the ground, with blood on the corner of his mouth and said, "Stinky boy, you have been poisoned by my Qingshui Gate." Now escort me back to Qingshuimen, and my disciples will give you the antidote. Otherwise, we will all perish together! Li Yanliang looked at the backs of Han Xiaoyue and the others who were gone, and then looked at the half-dead Spirit Source Spring Master, and looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly: "Spring Master, why do you have to get along with me!" ”
