When Ben Qian returned to the city where Baoxiang Temple was located, it was already late at night.

But before she approached Baoxiang Temple, she saw chaos at the entrance of Baoxiang Temple from a distance. It stands to reason that it should be the dead of night at this time, but now there are so many people at the door, most of them are monks in the temple, and there are also a few people who seem to have been awakened to check the situation.

She seemed to sense that something was wrong, and hurriedly approached, only to find that there were two groups of people facing each other in front of the gate of Baoxiang Temple, on one side was the young Elder Liye who received them today, and there was an old man next to him, it was Elder Juesong who had chased Xiao Ji Yuluo in front of Xiaoshan Temple before, and there were many monks from Baoxiang Temple.

On the other hand, she was very surprised, it was actually Master Ran and Yuchuni, as well as Yifeng, Fire Monkey, Shuli, and Benyuan, she hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and stood behind Yuchuni.

After asking her a few simple questions, and after she calmly answered, Yuchuni looked back at the people of Baoxiang Temple.

At this time, Master Zhiran said with a displeased face: "Uncle Juesong, today's matter, it is really difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, Baoxiang Temple is the largest branch of the Buddhist giant Beizong Temple, and it should be treated with courtesy to all people in Buddhism, not to mention that we are still sent by Nanzong Temple to participate in the representative of the Daoist Conference, and we are devout disciples who support Buddhism, you are so rude, I am afraid that others will laugh at it." ”

Before Jue Song could speak, Liye scolded beside him: "You are really shameless, what dirty things have you done yourself, don't you have any points in your hearts? Today you sent someone to find Dazhuguo, and you also went to find the national teacher, and did those things, and you still regarded yourself as a savior, high up!"

"You are a fart! You are traitors who intend to subvert Buddhism, you are sinners who are to be spurned by all the monks of the Great Wu Kingdom! Take you in, it is better to take in a few dogs, and the dogs will not betray their masters!"

Yifeng stepped forward and said: "Uncle Liye, how is the Buddha's way, it's not what you see, you are in the midst of the noise, and you have never noticed the people's feelings, do you know how the Buddha's way is outside? Without reform, it will be difficult to move forward in the path of Buddhism. The path of Buddhism can no longer save itself, and only by breaking it from the outside can we split the darkness and accept the light. ”

Jue Song sneered: "He can't see it, can't I see it yet? Didn't I ask you to wait for news? My words are the meaning of Beizong Temple, if you don't listen and are stubborn, then don't enter the door of Beizong Temple!"

When Yu heard this, he said coldly: "Wait for your news, what news do you have, let's hear it!"

Jue Song said: "This is not a matter of one or two people, this is the secret of the entire Buddhist path, you don't deserve to listen to it!"

The fire monkey said angrily: "If we are not worthy, are you worthy? Let the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims outside Junzhou not go to relief, what news are you waiting for! I see that you just want to delay and drag all the disaster victims to death, so that no one will oppose you, and no one will accuse you, so you will be more at ease and enjoy your glory and wealth! You have made a good calculation!"

The karma was so angry that he didn't speak, and with a wave of his arms, he commanded the monks of Baoxiang Temple to directly throw out all their large and small packages, closed the courtyard door with a "bang", and Juesong and the others left angrily.

Master Ran and others are angry, but at this time there is no way, they can't conflict with Baoxiang Temple, expand the contradiction of Buddhism, whether it is not good for Nanzong Temple or Beizong Temple, but also recruit Shenwei Army, and then the dignity of the two temples will be irretrievable.

It's embarrassing to think about it, it was the same door, and it came to Junzhou City thousands of miles away, and in the middle of the night, after the heavy rain, it was driven out by the same door, and it was like a lost dog looking for a place to live on the street.

I heard that because of the Taoist conference in Junzhou City, people from all states came to see the event and look for excitement, and the inns in each city were full, and the fire monkey and Shuli and others had to go to find the inn, but when they came back, they all shook their heads.

It's ridiculous that there is no place for a few of them to live in the huge Junzhou, isn't it like today's Buddhism?

People who really think about Buddhism are lonely and at a loss.

Walking out of the city where Baoxiang Temple is located, I came to Xianning Long Street, and happened to meet Xiu Gu who came back, Xiu Gu was also drenched all over, her hair on her temples was drooping, her face was pale, and she looked lost and depressed.

The look in Yuchuni's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly pulled her over and asked her what was wrong, but Xiu Gu was listless and shook her head gently.

Liao Yu thought that she was damaged by the rain, so she didn't ask much, she thought about it and said, "Otherwise, let's go to Huanglongguan, where I am most familiar." After saying that, Xiu Gu suddenly raised her head and glanced at her.

Yuqiuni's heart sank, she probably knew what happened to Xiu Gu.

Master Ran looked at the two of them and said, "No need, I know that you must have had an unpleasant relationship with Brother Ling just now, which is too embarrassing for you, not to mention that so many of our monks go to the Taoist temple, it's not good to say it, let's think of a way." ”

After saying that, he looked up at the sky and sighed.

On a summer night after the rain, the sky is clear and the stars are sparse, the streets are wet with water, and the lanterns on the eaves of the original eaves are wet with heavy rain, all of them are extinguished, the darkness is shrouded, the night is quiet, a cool breeze blows, and a light cold invades the skin.

When the fire monkey returned to Hoshoji Temple, he had just escaped from the pursuit of the Kamui Legion, and Shuli also walked back in a dejected state, and they did not change into dry clothes, and when the cold wind blew, even on a summer night, they felt that the cold wind was biting.

"It's ridiculous. Suddenly, Shuli said through gritted teeth.

His hand tightly grasped the Green Snake Sword, and the Green Snake Sword emitted bursts of blue light at this time, as if echoing the surging mood of Shuli.

Yifeng saw that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I said it's ridiculous!" Shuli shouted, "What's the point of such a Buddhist way! I originally thought that ninety-nine out of a hundred monks in the small temples and temples along the road did not understand, because they did not practice enough, and I did not lose heart. Before I came to Junzhou City, I thought that Beizong Temple, as a giant of Buddhism and Taoism, can be compassionate to the heavens and people, see the people's livelihood and suffering, and will run for the people with us, and with our joint efforts, we will eventually save the people of Liming with the kindness of Buddhism. ”

As he spoke, Shuli's eyes turned red, and his tone became more sad: "Confucianism, serving the court like walking on thin ice, many years ago, the scholars withdrew from the court because of the cold, and they were too busy to take care of themselves. Taoism, there is no longevity, only inexplicable relationship entanglements, and they have none

"Disaster victims can be rescued by means. But Buddhism! Is this how people in Buddhism cultivate?

Everyone gradually felt that Shuli was abnormal, and they all surrounded him, Shuli continued: "All the way from Nanzong Temple, I have been thinking, what is Buddhism, I originally thought that Buddhism, like the other two religions, is the great road for the public, and the common people as the mind, so I think that no matter what sect, as long as this is the belief, it is enough." Ironically, the brutal truth tells me that you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. There is no Tao in their hearts, no Buddha Dao, and they are dead!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked alone into the darkness, and the blue light of the green snake sword flickered and went out.

Yifeng ran over a few times, grabbed him and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, you are right, so we are working hard to change. Don't worry, today I found Dazhuguo and the national teacher, they all said that they would help us to advise Emperor Wu, there will be a way, don't worry, things will definitely improve. ”

Shuli shook his head, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes, he took a deep breath, and said: "Yifeng, you will not understand the difficulties of your senior brother, you were born as a Buddha, you are a person in Buddhism, and you shoulder the responsibility of Buddhism.

"But senior brother, I originally had hills and valleys in my chest, and I had a heroic spirit, and I had broader and broader ideals and beliefs. Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. Yu people say Haoran, full of gloom!

"But now I'm stuck in this Buddha path, I can't find the way, and I'm still being regarded as a traitor by the people of my family. ”

Yifeng's heart sank, and he had an ominous premonition, he immediately hugged Shuli, hugged his shoulders tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior brother, give me some more time, I will make the Buddha Dao better, really, don't go." Buddhism and all sentient beings, there is Guanyin Bodhisattva to overcome all suffering, there is Jizo Bodhisattva to make a grand wish to save the souls of hell, there are thousands of worlds, there are all sentient beings, this road is also broad and broad enough, but now the world is blinded by the glimpse of light, and there is no true nature, believe me, one day I will let the Buddha and Taoism faith shine again!"

Shuli still shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Yifeng, let Senior Brother calm down." ”

Yifeng let go of his arm, and Shuli gradually walked into the darkness and disappeared.

Yifeng turned his head and looked at Master Ran, Master Ran sighed: "His heart has always been entangled with different morals, he is very contradictory, and it is also very hard, tonight maybe he has a different situation, which causes the grief, anger and sorrow in his heart to be stimulated and poured out, let him go, just calm down." ”

Xiu Gu looked at Shuli's back with red eyes, and grabbed Yuqiuni's arm tightly, her body trembling.

The fire monkey clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth fiercely, and was silent.

Ben Yuan quietly looked in the direction Shuli left, with a complicated expression in his eyes.

Ben Qian ran to Yifeng's side and grabbed his arm, he seemed to have lost all the strength of his body, and slowly squatted down, tears dripping on the ground.
