The sky was already bright, and several pilgrims appeared in the White Temple one after another. Mo Ling's black hair was not tied, only a wooden branch was inserted, and he stood on the top of the treasure hall. The morning breeze is blowing slowly, with a little bit of summer approaching, and the white clothes are raised, and the whole person has an indescribable elegance.

Xiao Mo Li's height has risen a few points, and she looks like a gentle lady, with a hint of shrewdness in her quietness, but she was shrewd and leaked before, but now she is introverted. Holding a white brush in his right hand and holding the account book in his left hand, seeing that Mo Ling was slightly distracted, he shook his head, and asked:

"Childe, who is the half-dead person you brought back this morning? I don't think he looks like a good person, I am afraid that something will happen if I leave him behind. Do you want to just throw him out like that?"

Mo Ling smiled slightly, his black hair was raised, and his handsome face turned around:

"I can't imagine that Li'er is getting smarter and smarter, why didn't you see it before? Don't worry, I have a lot of use for this person, go and let Dao Tong boil medicine. I have my own arrangements!" After speaking, he rubbed Mo Li's head, rubbing his hair slightly messy, until Mo Li's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he stopped with a smile.

Mo Li snorted angrily and disappeared to leave. Heishui himself appeared behind him, and saluted: "My lord, just now there is a good letter from the Zhou family of the Xu family, a big family in the city, because she entered the incense and made a wish last time, we sent four divine soldiers to secretly guard and help her husband escort the dart car from Wulian City in Jianzhou to return safely." Today, I came to make a vow, saying that I would build a front hall to worship the four golden armor kings. I'm here to report!"

"Four Golden Armor Heavenly Kings?" Mo Ling was a little puzzled, "There are these four in our temple? How does it not sound like a god on our side?" ”

Blackwater explained:

On the way back from his father-in-law Xu Hong, he was harassed by ghosts and monsters many times, and was killed by the four divine soldiers, only once when he passed by the White Horse Pass of Wan'an City, he met the evil god of the ancient temple in the mountain road, and when the four divine soldiers were killed, he accidentally exposed his body and was mistaken by Xu Hong for the four heavenly kings. That's why his wife, Zhou, came today to repay his vows and build a front hall to worship them!

Mo Ling knew what he meant, and now in the temple, only one main god is enshrined, and the others are all used by himself to distribute incense and improve the grade. Now that a mortal person has rashly crossed over to him, Blackwater fears that he will be punished without his consent. But when he thought of this, he asked him:

"When you sent the divine soldiers, did you ask everyone?"

The subordinates asked in public, but only the four of them took the lead in proposing to go, so they sent the four of them. They encounter many ghosts along the way, especially when fighting evil gods, which is extremely dangerous. ”

Mo Ling laughed: "Since it is the incense that they have earned so hard, how can I, the lord of the lord, disagree? It can make the four of them dream of Xu Hong tonight, show the true face of the law, and build the front hall." When the consecration is completed, I will personally name them. ”

Heishui bowed his head and returned: "My subordinates thank the lord on their behalf!"

"The Four Heavenly Kings?" Mo Ling thought lightly, smiled suddenly, and disappeared on the roof.

A woman in a blue and gray cloth cloth held a bamboo basket, knocked on the tabletop, picked up a pinch of incense, and shouted loudly: "Incense sellers? Wake up! How much does this incense cost?" Li Xuanji had sleepy eyes, looked up and said: "Two pennies!" After speaking, he collapsed and fell asleep.

The woman slapped the table again and again, and couldn't help but point at the surprise: "Alas, alas! I said you, it's really strange! And you do this business? Are you not afraid of stealing your essence?" Seeing that he still did not wake up, he had to snort, threw the two copper plates on the case, picked up the incense stick and left. In the end, it was in the territory of the gods, and the woman did not dare to mess around and do things secretly.

When the woman left far away, Mo Ling walked over and seemed to say to himself: "The Four Heavenly Kings! Mo Ling couldn't help but smile secretly in his belly, I'm not afraid that you won't take the bait, this time I got a lot of news from the previous dynasty in the Dragon Tomb, but there are some things that you still have to ask the relevant people.

After speaking, he turned around and pretended to leave, and as soon as he took a step, Li Xuanji's voice came from behind: "Lord, what do you want to ask?"

Mo Ling smiled all over his mouth, and sure enough, he took the bait! Turning around, his face was calm as usual: "What? I didn't ask anything! I was saying that the woman of the Zhou family made a wish to build a front hall to worship the four golden armor kings. I'm going to check it out, do you want to come along?"

Li Xuanji got up: "Lord, let's find a secluded place to talk! How about the top of the pagoda?" After speaking, he got up and left, and Mo Ling followed with a smile slipping through the corner of his eyes.

When the two came to the top of the tower, Li Xuanji folded his hands and said, "Nan Wu Buddha! The lord has tried many times, but I don't know what he wants to know from the poor monk?"

Mo Ling showed that he had expected you to be like this, and said lightly: "Sure enough! Something happened last night, let me know some inside information about the previous dynasty and this dynasty." But I'm very strange, as far as I know, there were also Buddhist sects in the previous dynasties, and it seems that the scale is not small, and it can almost compete with many sects of Taoism, and the power can be said to be comparable. Why did this dynasty suddenly become devastated and almost extinct in Middle-earth?"

Li Xuanji was surprised when he heard this, and the next moment his expression turned into grief and indignation, his face changed and he struggled for a long time before he sat down and slowly arrived: "Lord, do you know the secret of the destruction of the previous dynasty!"

Mo Ling nodded: "I know a little! But not much! You explain it to me in detail?"

The last emperors of the previous dynasty, starting from Emperor Xuan, Emperor Zhao, and Emperor Hui, have always supported my Buddhism and fought against Taoism. Until the time of Emperor Wu Ming, it was suddenly rumored that the emperors of the past dynasties had created a secret base and cultivated an extremely strong combat force, intending to completely suppress the two factions of monks with the help of an ancient magic weapon, and bring the three worlds of heaven, earth and man into their control. The Daomen immediately sent all kinds of disciples to secretly spread panic and support the warlords. Emperor Ming is kind to my Buddhism, but Buddhism is not monolithic, some continue to help Emperor Ming, and some are the same as Daomen, taking advantage of the chaos to support several forces. It's just a pity—" Speaking of which, I can't bear to say more.

"What's next?" Mo Ling asked.

The previous dynasty was in turmoil, but the emperor still had the spirit of the dynasty dissipated, and he still responded to every call and fought everywhere to suppress it. A Taoist master who was about to be feathered made a move, and under the siege of tens of thousands of people, he and the emperor were both killed. Since then, the various forces have begun to compete, and finally the Taizu of this dynasty won. It's a pity that the forces supported by my Buddhism have always been enemies of Taizu, and some of them have helped Emperor Wu Ming before. Therefore, the Taizu of this dynasty hated it very much, and after the establishment of the imperial court, he immediately reprimanded my Buddhism as a foreign way and began to suppress it everywhere. Strangled the ghosts and gods of the temples around the country, and many eminent monks were forced to return to the world, and those who did not obey issued holy decrees, and died of swords one after another. Pity countless innocent monks, all of them were killed, at that time blood was rampant, white bones like mountains, almost covered the golden body of the Buddha. Over the past 500 years, successive emperors have continued to suppress, and our Buddhism is almost extinct in Middle-earth. There is no Buddha in the south! It is a pity that my Buddhism and Taoism are both inherited by ancient sages, but it is a pity that one move was careless and ended up like this. After Li Xuanji finished speaking, his face was already full of pain.

After listening to this, Mo Ling had already connected the front and back in series, and almost knew the seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight, thinking of a little doubt, he still asked: "You said that Buddhism has become extinct? However, I heard that there seem to be a lot of Buddhism inheritances in the western region of Snow Mountain?"

"That's just a branch of my Buddhism, and it's not orthodox at all. In the past 500 years, in order to survive, it is rare for them to be passed down from generation to generation. It's a pity that it flows into the Witch Ghost Road. ”

"The affairs of the previous dynasty and the current dynasty, too long have passed, and it is useless to talk too much, and it is the most important thing to survive now. I know that you are a rough person on the surface, but in fact you are very calculating in your heart, and I am afraid that you have some plans when you come to me. Looking at you like this, it is by no means that you can be subservient to others for no reason. However, I am a generous person, as long as you can do things for me wholeheartedly, I don't care what your previous identity was. If I have two hearts, I naturally have some means, do you understand?" Mo Ling's expression was calm.

Li Xuanji was about to get up and argue, but Mo Ling continued: "Doesn't your Buddhism also have a saying, all the laws in the world are impermanent, and the continuity of life and death is a dream, which is the Dharma intention of your Buddha, so there is no need to act like this." I don't care which Buddhist force you are, but from now on, I want you to assure you that the forces behind you can only be used by me, can you do it willingly? If you promise me, when the wind gathers in the future, your benefits will be indispensable. ”

When Li Xuanji heard this, he raised his head and flashed a few traces of astonishment: "What do you know?" In his words, the word lord was no longer used.

Mo Ling smiled: "You only said that you are willing to respond?"

Li Xuanji clasped his hands together, bowed his head and chanted the Buddha, falling into thought. At this time, the sun began to slowly rise the farthest mountain, the sky was full of morning glow, extremely gorgeous, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the top of the pagoda, Li Xuanji saw Mo Ling surrounded by the sun, shining, suddenly his complexion changed greatly, as if he had found something extremely terrifying, the next moment, suddenly sat cross-legged, and saluted Mo Ling: "Nan Wu Buddha!"

Mo Ling smiled faintly, turned into a gust of breeze, and disappeared at the top of the tower-
