In the silent night sky, an auspicious light rushed up from the ground to the sky, reflecting in a somewhat dilapidated monastery ten miles away from the canal, and all gathered in this monastery were some ragged and dusty people. Most of them are people from the vicinity, and because of the current Holy Tour, they have been expelled from their homes by local officials and lodged in this desolate and declining monastery, and their only hope is that the Holy Driving of the Holy Saint will pass as soon as possible, so that they can return home as soon as possible. But just a moment ago, one of them, a pregnant woman who had been pregnant for ten months, suddenly gave birth, perhaps because of sympathy, and in the face of the helpless cry of the woman who was about to give birth, although they could not help, they all gathered in front of the mottled Buddha statue in front of the main hall to pray for her. Finally, with the sound of a baby's cry, everyone's hearts that had been holding on to it were finally let go, and everyone's originally somewhat sad hearts also emerged with a trace of joy at this time.

"Knock knock!"

Not long after the abbot of the monastery was busy with the newborn baby, he heard a knock at the door, and after reciting the Buddha's name, the abbot had no choice but to go over and open the door. Because of today's holy southern tour, the poor people within ten miles on both sides of the canal have been driven away from their hometowns, and the wandering people can only gather in some Taoist temples to take refuge, and the temple here is here, although a few years ago because of the current saint Xing Buddha Yang Dao accumulated some belongings, but in the continuous help, it has also slowly withered. How many of the sentient beings who are still unable to take care of their own livelihoods are willing to adhere to the Buddha's heart? In the end, the golden clothes of the Buddha in the main hall were also secretly stripped away by some people with improper intentions.

"Amitabha! Why did the female benefactor come here late at night? The abbot opened the door, and there was a beautiful woman standing outside the door, and judging by the outfit, she should not look like an ordinary girl.

"Master! The little woman came here with her family to join her family, I didn't want to meet the bad people on the road just now, I panicked and only cared about escaping, and was separated from the family, fortunately I saw the lights of the treasure temple, so I came to stay, and I hope that the master is merciful, take in one night, and the little woman will leave tomorrow morning. The woman spoke softly, pitifully telling her own experience.

"Come in!" The abbot turned sideways to let her enter the door, and said: "Female donor, there have been too many refugees in our temple recently, there is no side room in the temple, only the main hall still has some space, if the female donor does not feel wronged, please stay for one night." ”

"Thank you for the mercy of the master, the little woman wants to have a place to stay, so that she will not die in the wilderness, and it is okay to put it in the main hall."

The abbot didn't expect this woman to be so easy to talk to, and the women of ordinary families were either afraid of things, no matter how bad the situation was, most of them didn't want to live with others, let alone at night, and this woman ...... Although the host had some doubts in his heart, he had seen a lot of things like this recently, so he didn't say anything after all, and led her to the main hall.

"With Master Lao leading the way, the little woman will thank you again, the hour is not early, and please ask the master to rest early." After thanking the woman again outside the main hall, she turned around and walked into the main hall, and the refugees in the main hall were still surprised by the woman's beauty at first, but the next moment, one by one, they involuntarily hid in the corner and did not dare to move, they didn't know why they were like this, but they felt that there was an invisible force in the woman, so that they did not dare to approach.

"So it's here!"

Behind the Big Buddha, the woman finally found the newborn baby. The baby's mother was still coaxing the child to sleep, and when she saw the woman coming, she wanted to protect her child, but because she had just given birth and had been hungry for a long time, she couldn't get up at all!

Knock knock! Three more knocks came from outside the door, and the abbot, who was just about to go back to his room to rest, went to open the door again, and this time it was a son who came to knock on the door.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Xiao Zhuo saw the abbot who opened the door, and hurriedly read the debut number to identify himself. "Master, has there ever been a girl here who has come to spend the night?"

Tonight is the third night after leaving Luoyang, and Xiao Zhuo thought that this night would be safe, but after that auspicious light rose on the ground, two black shadows flashed on the originally calm dragon boat. That's two cats! Although Xiao Guowei had done his duty, the two cats were not enough for them to pay more attention to, after all, they were not sure if this was a pet brought on the boat by a court official. And Xiao Zhuo saw the two cats on the shore, so he hurriedly chased them, but after all, the other party was a four-legged animal, so after chasing for a while, he still lost it, but guessing the purpose of the two cats coming ashore, Xiao Zhuo resolutely chased in the direction of the temple.

"Amitabha, there is, but the Taoist chief, why are you looking for her?" The abbot saw that Xiao Zhuo reported the Taoist number, and he was also relieved, after all, although Buddhism and Taoism are each family, they all exist for the purpose of transforming the world.

"Don't hide it from the master, that woman was originally a noble concubine on the dragon boat ten miles away, and she absconded in a panic while the saint was drunk, and I came to arrest her back!" As soon as Xiao Zhuo said this, the abbot was so frightened that he hurriedly invited Xiao Zhuo in, and while leading Xiao Zhuo to the main hall, he kept explaining, "Dao Chief, my lord!" The concubine came to stay late at night, the old man really didn't know that it was the concubine, don't blame it! ”

"He who does not know is not guilty!"

Xiao Zhuo followed the abbot to the main hall, and as soon as the two stepped into the courtyard gate, they saw a woman in an orange shirt walking out of the hall, and the woman was still holding a baby in swaddling clothes. Seeing this, Xiao Zhuo stopped the abbot who was still stepping forward with one hand, stepped forward and scolded angrily: "Yuan Ziyan! ”

"It's coming pretty fast!" Yuan Ziyan replied, and the other hand also stretched out to the baby's neck, but five blood-colored nails also grew on the originally jade-like fingers. "If you come again, I'll kill him!"

"Didn't you mean to kill him in the first place?" Xiao Zhuo was unmoved, and still walked forward. "If he really dies today, it is also his destiny, anyway, it is just a reincarnation, and it is a big deal to be a new person. Moreover, if I let you go, more babies will die at your hands one day, and in righteousness, he will die a well-deserved death! ”

"Xiao Zhuo! If you say such things, what kind of cultivator are you? Yuan Ziyan saw that Xiao Zhuo was getting closer and closer to him, and quickly threw the baby towards Xiao Zhuo, hoping that he could have time to escape.

"The golden light appears quickly, covering my body!" Xiao Zhuo was still silently reciting the golden light spell in his heart, but when he saw Yuan Ziyan's action, he hurriedly recited the last sentence, and his body jumped forward, picking up the baby on the ground with one hand, and at the same time he turned around sharply while catching the baby, and protected the baby in front of him with his body.

Phew! Phew! Phew! Three sharp voices came from behind Xiao Zhuo, and Yuan Ziyan behind him really took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but fortunately, when Yuan Ziyan's attack was about to touch his body, a golden light quickly spread to Xiao Zhuo's body, and the cat's claws only left three muffled sounds before hurriedly withdrawing, and Yuan Ziyan also jumped to the side and prepared to escape. But although she wanted to escape, Xiao Zhuo didn't want to give her a chance, after hurriedly seeing that the baby in her arms was fine, Xiao Zhuo's right hand quickly pinched a sword trick, and the ground was instantly unsheathed, and when the cat demon was still retreating, the ground was shining with a faint blue light, and a sword slashed over!

"Meow!" The terrible cat meow sounded, but it was not Yuan Ziyan who died, but Yuan Ziyan saw the slaughter in front of him, and in order to save his life, he used the power of his natal Yuan Dan to condense an orange cat's head and bite the sword edge of the ground. And Xiao Zhuo saw her doing this, and it was inconvenient for the sword in her hand to point, but she gathered the golden light around her body in her right hand, and at the same time, the ground that she wanted to compete with the cat demon also turned from cyan to gold. At this point, Xiao Zhuo's right hand suddenly pulled down, and the golden light of the sword body burst out, cutting the orange cat's head at once.

"Ahh Yuan Ziyan saw that he was defeated, and wanted to escape again, so he just turned into his body and jumped out of the wall, but he heard a voice behind him, "Golden Photovoltaic Demon, the Tao is in one breath!" Xiao Zhuo quickly summoned Di Wei back into his hand, and the blade of the Di Shu Sword was also quickly wrapped in a layer of golden light, forming a golden sword blade, but until Yuan Ziyan jumped out of the wall, Xiao Zhuo did not make any move.

"Master, this child is tired of you taking care of her, I'll chase her!" Xiao Zhuo handed over the baby to the abbot and hurriedly chased after him. It wasn't that he intended to let Yuan Ziyan go just now, but his move originally needed to be launched with both hands, but at that time, he was holding the child with his other hand, and he couldn't free his hand at all, so he could only let Yuan Ziyan leave.

Xiao Zhuo chased out not far along the path that Yuan Ziyan had escaped, but found nothing, and at this time he also sensed that something was wrong. At that time, there were two cat demons who left the dragon boat, but there was only one Yuan Ziyan in the temple, so where was the other one? Went somewhere else? It doesn't make sense! The newborn was born in the direction of the temple, so he chased it there. But if you haven't gone anywhere else, where would it be? Is it to turn the tiger away from the mountain? But it's too risky, isn't it? almost killed Yuan Ziyan!

Although he was unsure, Xiao Zhuo still turned back to the temple, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the temple, he saw a golden light overflowing from the courtyard, and disappeared in an instant. When Xiao Zhuo hurriedly walked into the temple, he saw that there were several more monk's corpses in the courtyard than before he left. Xiao Zhuo was anxious, and hurried to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and before he arrived at the main hall, he heard an angry scolding: "Little monk, the Buddha can't save you, hurry up and give me that child!" ”

"Nan no Amitabha!"

"Nan no Amitabha!"

"Nan no Amitabha!"

In a burst of Buddha horns, Xiao Zhuo stepped into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw an eight or nine-year-old little monk, who was sitting in front of the Buddha with the baby in his arms, and eight old monks around him were sitting around him in the shape of "swastika" and chanting the Buddha's name. As they recited the Buddha's words again, the seated statue of the Buddha, which had already been scraped to the point that only a little gold paint remained in the main hall, also flashed a golden light from his eyes, enveloping the monks and blocking the woman in blue who was about to step forward to snatch the baby.

"Demons! Death! ”

Xiao Zhuo recognized that the woman in front of him was one of the favorite concubines of the current saint - Yuan Bao'er, and when he saw that except for those few monks in the main hall, everyone else was already corpses, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and immediately slashed at Yuan Bao'er's waist with a sword.

"Xiao Zhuo?" Yuan Bao'er was also surprised by Xiao Zhuo's reappearance, because according to her and Yuan Ziyan's strategy, Xiao Zhuo should have been led away by Yuan Ziyan. Before seeing Xiao Zhuo chased out of the temple, she only came to snatch the baby for the second time, but she never expected that she would be blocked by these monks, although the Buddha light drawn out by these monks could not hurt her, but she couldn't get close to the little monk who was supported by the Buddha light.

Suddenly, five sharp claws stretched out from the jade hand, and Yuan Bao'er clamped the sword that Xiao Zhuo had slashed with one claw, and then lifted it upward. The body jumped backwards and went straight to the window behind him. Although Xiao Zhuo's sword was not very powerful, she knew that it was because Xiao Zhuo was afraid of those monks, so he did not do it with all his strength, if he continued to entangle, once Xiao Zhuo gained power, he would inevitably be unable to escape.

Her thoughts were quickly confirmed, Xiao Zhuo watched Yuan Bao'er lean out of the hall, and wished she did so, immediately jumped out of the window, seeing that Yuan Bao'er was about to escape from the wall, he slammed the ground horizontally, and bursts of blue light quickly condensed into a cyan sword blade on the sword body, which looked like there was an extra scabbard in the ground, and the next moment, Xiao Zhuo pressed the left hand on the sword body with a wave, and the cyan blade instantly broke away from the sword body, inserted into Yuan Bao'er's back, came out of the body, and disappeared again.

"Bao'er!" A mournful voice came from outside the gate of the temple, Xiao Zhuo turned to look, a snow-white kitten turned into a figure, his face was familiar and kind, but it was Zhu Gui'er.

"You killed her?" Zhu Gui'er froze in place, still unwilling to believe that Xiao Zhuo really killed Yuan Bao'er. She and Xiao Meiniang were still taking care of the drunk Yang Guang, but a sister told her that Yuan Baoer and Yuan Ziyan had gone ashore, and she had also seen the auspicious light of the birth of the newborn, so she naturally knew what the two were doing ashore. But when she got away and chased halfway, she ran into Yuan Ziyan, who was seriously injured, and when she asked Yuan Ziyan and Yuan Bao'er about the strategy they agreed on, she knew that because they had despised Xiao Zhuo before, Yuan Ziyan couldn't contain Xiao Zhuo at all, if it weren't for Yuan Ziyan's desperate fight, I'm afraid he would have died by now. When Zhu Gui'er heard this, she couldn't help but be even more worried about Yuan Bao'er's safety, but when she waited for her to rush to the temple, she was still a step too late. Looking at the human corpses all over the ground, she couldn't blame Xiao Zhuo for being too heavy. is the same living beings in the world, it was Yuan Ziyan who killed the lives of these human beings first, Xiao Zhuo is a person in the Dao Sect, and it is what he should do to support the righteous path, the only difference is that Xiao Zhuo killed her race!

"Yes! Did you see Yuan Guiren when the concubine came over? If you don't see it, go back and pass a word for me, and I will accept her life sooner or later! Xiao Zhuo faced this woman who was the same as Jin Ruochang, and in the end he just left this sentence and walked to the main hall. And after Zhu Guier found Yuan Baoer's body, he didn't say anything, but silently turned around and went back with Yuan Baoer's body.

And Xiao Zhuo looked at the little monk in the main hall and asked, "Dare to ask the little master's number?" ”

"Little monk Xuanzang, thank you to the donor for saving our temple from danger!" The little monk is still childish, but his speech and demeanor are gentle and polite.

"Little Master's words are serious, this kid can get out of trouble today, all thanks to the work of the masters." After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he walked to the abbot and said, "Master! At present, the situation is turbulent, and the temple here has also been destroyed, if the masters are not too far away, they can go north to Chang'an, where the people are outstanding, and the masters will be able to get a resting place. ”

"Amitabha! Thank you, old man, for your kindness! It's just that the souls of the dead here still need to be overtaken by us, and the corpses have not been buried, so how can we just leave. After the abbot finished speaking, he sat down again, and when the other monks saw the presiding officer sit down, they also sat down.

"Master! You go ahead of the superordinates, and I will have people come to bury the corpses here tomorrow, and I hope that the master will listen to my good words and leave this place tomorrow. After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he wanted to wait for the abbot to reply, but what responded to him was a Buddhist Sanskrit chanting, which was solemn and solemn, as if it went straight to the Nine Netherworlds, asking the Bodhisattva of the Earth to open the gate of the Yellow Spring.
