It was night, and the moon was clear, with sparse starlight.

Dressed in a hundred bells, Shi Futu was quietly bathed in the moonlight, his expression was sad and joyful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In front of him, the cliffs on both sides had returned to their original state: the swarthy had turned back to dead ashes, the flowers had withered, the green grass had withered, and nothing was left.

Even, significantly more bleak than the original.

(Everything is silent, everything is like this, force manpower to return to heaven, after all...) ）

With a low sigh in his heart, Shi Futu suddenly felt something, his eyes suddenly widened, and there was a spontaneous sound of wind and thunder in his palm, and many clouds and mist poured out.

In the midst of the clouds and mist, Shi Futu's heels paused slightly, his body had been straightened up, and he was surrounded by clouds and mist and flew up, his hands were still folded in front of his chest, and his treasure was solemn, indescribably good-looking.

In a blink of an eye, it has risen to the top of the cliff, and the following is already the size of a chess game, and seeing that the Lianyin Temple is only like a plaything, Shi Futu stood on the edge of the cliff for a while, and suddenly said: "Will you look down on me?" ”

I heard a very calm voice laugh and said: "If others use this method, I will definitely expose him on the spot." As he spoke, he saw a white shadow step out of the darkness with a smile, and he still said, "But since it's you, I can trust it." ”

After a pause, he said: "If Buddhism wants to be revived, it must have holy monks, and all foolish beings are the naked eye, how can they know the sacred heart of the mortal body?" So that's not an exaggeration. ”

"Aren't those old bullnoses on Longhu Mountain doing this for thousands of years?"

Shi Futu's face moved slightly, and he said, "Thank you." ”

The man laughed and said, "What's polite! As he spoke, he had already approached, and he could see his face clearly in the moonlight: there was heroism in the clearness, it was Dao Hong, who had joined the White Lotus Sect three years ago.

Shi Futu turned around and said with a smile: "You should have been extravagant in the past three years, right?" ”

Dao Hong didn't care, waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, after three years of teaching the Fa, it has also increased by hundreds of thousands of sect members, but the good and bad in the White Lotus Sect are uneven, and it is really tiring." ”

Said and smiled: "Actually, you know it too." Although the White Lotus Sect comes from the Buddha, it has long been the same origin of the three religions, and it is a mess, and I have spent a lot of effort in recent years to put the canons in order, and only worship the Maitreya Buddha, fortunately, Hu Shaner still understands and fully cooperates, otherwise it will be even harder. ”

Shi Futu sighed lightly and said: "Promote the Buddha's merits, the grand Buddha land, in fact, you are the first in merit, Futu is ashamed." ”

Daohong smiled and said, "But aren't you finally out of the customs now?" And finally has a reputation for being able to counter those old guys, and the two of us will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort! As he spoke, a little tiredness appeared on his face.

Shi Futu's expression moved slightly, and he said, "You have really worked hard. ”

He also said: "The two of them are not bad, and in a few years, they should be able to share the labor." ”

When Dao Hong heard about the two, he smiled and said, "The two little babies are really good, and they both have Huigen." ”

But he said: "But I always feel that the two of them are not finished, and I am afraid that they will have to re-enter the red dust in the future, and they are not from Buddhism." ”

Shi Futu bowed his head slightly and said, "I feel this way too." ”

He added: "Tianyin Temple... How many are these seats? ”

When Dao Hong heard this, he was very proud, and said with a smile: "It's the sixty-eighth." ”

He added: "But they were all small temples and small temples before, and this is the first one that is really decent." ”

Shi Futu said movingly: "In three years, sixty-eight temples will be built, and the White Lotus Sect will be transformed in the middle... Admire. ”

He sighed and said: "When you and I broke up, you made a big vow to build four hundred and eighty Buddha lands and expand the Buddha body, and now it is a thousand days in the blink of an eye, and you have done so many things, but I just sat for three years and achieved nothing. ”

Daohong laughed and said, "What to say! He added: "It's a pity that Si Qiangongzi can't come." ”

Shi Fu Tuqi said: "Oh? ”

Dao Hong said: "There seems to be something going on in their family, it seems to be very troublesome...", and he didn't care, and said: "At this time next month, Qinglong Mountain, Shigou County, in front of Tianyin Temple, greet you." As he spoke, he raised his hand. Shi Futu was stunned and said, "Qinglong Mountain, Shigou County? There, it's not the Faxiangzong's..."

As if he had been prepared for Shi Futu's reaction, Dao Hong said with a smile: "That's right, but Faxiangzong is a mess at all now, Xinghua Temple doesn't have any incense all year round, and the local believers would rather come to the White Lotus Sect incense altar than go there, so it's no wonder that I." ”

Shi Futu wanted to speak and stopped, but he said, "I know." ”

Seeing Dao Hong go away, Shi Futu's face showed a very confused and tired expression, and it was like this for a long time, until the bright moon in the sky had begun to travel westward, and then he had a cold war, shook his head, and went down the cliff.

In the nineteenth year of Emperor Guangtong, the first day of December.

Tangzhou, Shigou County, Qinglong Mountain.

In front of the brand-new temple, there are many people, so lively.

In the warm sun, everything seemed to sparkle: the stone lions, the roof, the brand-new bell and drum towers and golden bodies, the paintings on the walls, and the eyes and faces of everyone.

Everything seemed to be so happy, including Hu Shan'er, who was full of spring breeze and kept greeting people he knew and didn't know, as the "leader" of the White Lotus Sect, this was undoubtedly an extremely honorable occasion for him.

Isn't it? The White Lotus Sect, which has always been scattered in the grass and is considered to be "Wild Fox Zen", can not ascend to the hall of elegance can even set up a temple here to open the light, and there will be local celebrities and gentry who come here to congratulate, and tens of thousands of believers will gather here with great interest, waiting to come in and burn incense after the official consecration.

What's more, it is said that even the Zen Buddhist Buddha, who is currently the most prestigious in Buddhism, will come here in person to participate in this ceremony!

The White Lotus Sect who knew these things clearly or only knew some of them were all excited by today's glory, and of course, there were a few people who had different thoughts.

"After today, this guy Daohong is even more rampant."

“… Let's see. ”

The two people who asked and answered the question were both dressed in vulgar clothes, with a slight difference, the thinner of them wore a Lei Gong scarf used by people in the top Daomen, and the other was a Confucian scarf common to scholars. Both of them hugged their chests and leaned against the wall, their faces full of inappropriateness, and they did not look happy at all.

Although born in the Pure Land of Buddhism, but after all, the White Lotus Sect has been circulating among the people for hundreds of years, and the religion that has evolved several times is of course to inherit Maitreya as the respect, but at the same time, there are also believers such as the old mother of Lishan, the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus, the three halhals and even the gods of Wutong, etc., in the past three years, because of Hu Shaner's trust and Daohong's efforts, the White Lotus Sect has become more and more purified, and has become more and more a real lay Buddhism, but the traces of the old days can not be exhausted, there are still many believers in other gods, and these two people are among the "Wutong God" and "Lishan Old Mother" respective presiding priests.

Seeing that there were more and more pious believers, and seeing Dao Hong's white clothes fluttering, standing above everyone silently, looking like a fairy, the lean man "Wu Hui" was annoyed, slapped the wall with his hand, and said hatefully: "Fuck, this bald donkey, what did you make our good White Lotus Sect do?" But he had already been stopped by the scarf man "Mo Shan" and said in a low voice: "Are you crazy? So loud? ”

Wu Hui gritted his teeth and said: "What's the use of you pretending to be a grandson, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that there will be no place for you and my brothers in the White Lotus Sect in the future!" ”

Mo Shan sneered: "That's not necessarily. ”

He also said: "Actually, I don't think the sect leader has no ideas, but now Dao Hong's guy is useful, so I put up with him, otherwise I wouldn't have Dao Hong persuaded him to take the ordination several times and was pushed away by him with excuses, you see, what will happen in the future..."

(Later...) ）

Although standing on a high place, Dao Hong could detect every movement, and the plan of the two had already fallen into his ears, but he didn't feel that these two people were worth being enemies at all, he just gave a shallow warning, and didn't plan to do more.

(However, what he said is also right, Hu Shan'er has always refused to be ordained as a pure land customary, in the end, it is not good, after this incident, I still have to persuade him again, and he is not allowed to shirk anymore...) ）

While thinking, he glanced at Hu Shan'er lightly, and saw that he was happily talking with the Shigou County Shou, he smiled coldly in his heart, ignored it again, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at the sun, and said in his heart: "The time is near, why hasn't the floating map come yet?" ”

Suddenly heard a commotion in the west, saw a group of people coming, when the first with a red cloth wrapped in a large plaque, so not spectacular, knowing that the "Tianyin Temple" plaque has been delivered, and seeing that the sun is already right, can not be delayed any longer, sighed in my heart, when I was about to speak, suddenly heard a Buddha said: "Amitabha!" It came from far away from the mountain, and he didn't feel a joy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Please!" ”

Without moving, a group of figures slowly climbed from the bottom of the mountain, but when he saw the identities of these people clearly, Dao Hong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Daohong, congratulations."

With an almost cruel smile when he spoke, the one who walked in front was Wu Ming, who had just taken over the Fa Xiang Sect, and behind him were his two junior disciples: Wu Fa and Wu Xu.

That's it, one left and one right, and Wuming side by side are also very promising, the old monk on the left is old, the white beard is fluttering, it is actually the head of the Tiantai sect: Konoha, the right hand is also an old monk, the description is withered, it seems to be not very eye-catching, but when you raise your eyes, it is shining, it is the head of the Vinaya: Xuantong.

There were five or six monks behind each of the two, all of whom were the backbone of the Tiantai Sect and the Vinaya Sect, Dao Hong knew everything, but he couldn't see Shi Futu's figure, and he felt very uneasy in his heart, so he calmed down and bowed down and said: "The elders of the three sects are coming from afar, and Dao Hong is polite." ”

Wuming smiled, raised his hand and said, "Say what you said there." As he spoke, he had already passed in front of Daohong, and he was still saying: "It should be this seat to thank Daohong's master and nephew for their hard work to come here to help..." The enlightenment method really bowed to Dao Hong and said, "Master Xie is here." ”

Daohong did not return the gift.

His pupils contracted, and he said in a cold voice, "Uncle Wuming, what does this mean?!" ”

Wu Ming didn't pay attention to it at all, and walked away, Xuantong coughed, and said: "I am here today to congratulate the opening of the new temple 'Longhua Temple' of the Faxiangzong and send Master Wu's nephew to be the abbot of this temple... Daohong, aren't you here for this? ”

Daohong didn't answer at all, his body was already stiff.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had fallen into a huge trap, but he didn't know when he had fallen into it.

At this time, Wuming had already arrived in front of Hu Shan'er, saluted, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Hu, you have to work." ”

Hu Shan'er didn't even look at Dao Hong, and said with a drowning smile: "The three masters are here, Hu Shan'er is really bright." Saying that, he licked his lips and said: "This new temple is not a tribute, and many things in the future will be fulfilled by you..."

Under the sun, the Wudi gold plaque shone with a majestic light, Dao Hong, but he felt that the blood around his body had coagulated!

The vision has blurred, and when I see it, it is all chaos and confusion!

"Hu Shan'er!"

Why did he roar like this, Dao Hong himself didn't understand, knowing that others might be waiting for his gaffe now, and knowing that he should only retreat quietly as soon as possible at this moment, but something that suddenly exploded in his body and almost burned the whole person, but he couldn't control himself!

"Why!"

Roaring angrily, Dao Hong walked forward quickly: he didn't care if Hu Shan'er would resist or run away, as early as three years ago, he had suppressed anyone in the White Lotus Sect, including Hu Shan'er, with confidence in terms of strength.

"Daohong, calm down."

At the same time, several monks from the Vinaya Sect and the Tiantai Sect hurriedly blocked up, but as soon as they looked at each other, they were swept away by the strong wind inspired by Daohong's palms.

"Why!"

With another wrong palm, he waved out seven red lotus brilliance to force Xuantong back, and at the same time, he pinched out the immovable vajra seal with his left hand, restricting Konoha's movements for a short time, and he had already flashed from the two of them, and rushed to Hu Shan'er and Wuming, who were standing side by side, and asked angrily.

In the face of his questioning, Hu Shan'er showed great fear, and said to Wuming: "You, you, you promised to protect me..."

Staring at Daohong, with a cruel smile, Wuming said slowly: "Of course I will protect you, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly let go, slapped him heavily behind Hu Shan'er, and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, there are so many people, who dares to commit murder?" Only this palm seemed to be too heavy, Hu Shan'er couldn't stand, stumbled, and pounced on Daohong!

(This is!?) ）

An alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, but it was too late, he instinctively stopped and grabbed Hu Shan'er, but saw that his face had turned into ashes due to fear, and there seemed to be something in conflict between his chest and abdomen.

"Wuming, you!"

"Help me!"

Daohong's anger and Hu Shan'er's fear exploded almost at the same time, and it was too late to change anything.

At the same time as the two shouts, Hu Shan'er's chest and abdomen suddenly burst open, blood splattered, and his stomach and intestines flew sideways, dyeing Daohong's body like snow-white clothes pink, and there were fragments of organs sticking to it, which looked shocking.

Without any movement, Dao Hong hugged Hu Shan'er stiffly, and his mind was blank.

Looking at the man in front of him with wide eyes, this man who had just died, Daohong wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to say at all.

And, what, what can be said ?!

The trap is made, and it is the most perfect and efficient trap, what else is there to say!!

It's amazing, in an instant, what Dao Hong thought of was Shi Futu.

(Float, why, you didn't come...) ）

Then I thought of the two juniors who trusted him immensely.

(Shifang, Baidao, Uncle Shi is sorry for you...) ）

At this time, there was already a sound of exclamation and scolding all around, Mu Ye Xuan unified his palms together and sighed, Wu Ming stared at Daohong viciously, gritted his teeth and smiled: "Daohong, you are very good!" ”

"In broad daylight, in the midst of everyone's eyes, you dare to kill!"

Returning to Qingming with a sudden mind, Dao Hong slowly put down Hu Shan'er, glanced around, suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and immediately overwhelmed all the noise!

When everyone was silent, Dao Hongfang suppressed his laughter, glanced at Wuming, and ignored him anymore, turned around, turned his back to him, and clasped his palms together at the bottom of the mountain and said, "There are still those venerable elders here, why don't you come here to talk together?" ”

Guo heard a long sigh slowly from the bottom of the mountain, and said: "I can actually know that I have arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Daohong, your cultivation is really not shallow, but such a cultivation has violated this great precept, alas..." Coupled with the enlightenment, Xuantong and Konoha who came here before, among the eight sects of Buddhism, except for Tantra, the remaining seven sect leaders have actually done their best.

Daohong gritted his teeth and sneered: "No, I'm not that powerful, I didn't know you were there." ”

"But I know that you cowards don't have the guts to let only these few people deal with me, do you?"

Shao Kang, who was walking in the front, sighed and said gloomily: "Daohong, you have fallen into the devil." His expression was extremely sad and regretful.

Without waiting for Daohong to answer, Shi Zizai, who was walking behind, had already said: "As for Futu... You don't have to wait, he has cultivated the Dharma so deeply at the moment, and he is already above us, so how can he be on the same path with you? The previous month was just a false commission. ”

Looking at this group of people in a daze, and then at Hu Shan'er, who had begun to stiffen behind him, Dao Hong suddenly laughed miserably, grabbed the monk's robe on his chest with both hands, and tore it open with a sudden "boom", and threw the monk's robe with two pieces to the ground. Shirtless, glaring—the look was already a little crazy—looked at the monks around him.

"Enchanted... Okay, even if I fall into the devil, you monks, this class of great virtues, try to get rid of the demons! ”
