The sky was gloomy, and occasionally a light breeze blew, and the two ancient camphor trees that had just been violently shaken, the leaves on their bodies finally could not support them, and they were blown down by the wind, and the yellowish leaves were mixed with the shaking camphor leaves—autumn was not far away.

On the altar, twenty black-clothed officers and soldiers with armor that was obviously thicker than ordinary soldiers, holding black spears in a circle, the tips of the spears pointed directly at the Qingning monk.

The county lieutenant walked into the encirclement formed by the army he had brought, walked up to Elder Nasu, smiled at him, stood still, and said coldly without looking back:

"Killed. ”

Monk Qingning lay down on the stage weakly, his eyes were tired, his consciousness was confused, and his hazy eyes watched with a hint of confusion as the tip of the black spear county soldier's spear slowly pierced in front of him, the speed was getting slower and slower, but his heart was getting farther and farther away.

Is that the end of it?

He remembered that when he was a child, he followed his father to work in the fields, and a team of soldiers passed by the field and snatched his father, who was working.

He cried and ran barefoot, in the fields, on the dirt road, and he ran back to tell his mother, who was cooking on the fire, and his mother cried and cried, and took his hand and chased after him where he had disappeared, but he never saw his father again in his life.

He and his mother depended on each other, but his mother's body collapsed due to the pain of losing his father and the weight of life.

On the occasion of her mother's final death, a well-wisher from the neighborhood told her to send the child to the monastery, which is a pure place for Buddhism, and there will be no troubles in the troubled times, so that the child can do good deeds and accumulate virtues for his parents in the next life.

He came to Qingping Temple, originally there was no chance to enter, Elder He looked at the thin mother who was kneeling at the gate of the courtyard and pleaded, and agreed.

So, he practiced with Elder He since he was a child, and practiced Buddhism sincerely and sincerely throughout his life, pious and focused, and followed his master to build Qingping Temple into a blessed shade for all sentient beings.

However, he didn't expect that there were so many intrigues and crazy desires in the temple that should be pure and peaceful, and after he and his master were gradually isolated and hollowed out, how many people's blood had been stained in Qingping Temple!

In order to make a grand wish since childhood, so that more people can freely believe in Buddhism, and no longer Qingping Temple will become a Shura field that oppresses and exploits the common people, he must stand up today, he can't lose!

He is still young, once he regains power, he will definitely not lose the reputation of Qingping Temple and the reputation of Great Martial Buddhism in the hands of people who are hungry for profit!

Therefore, he began to prepare for the competition some time ago, and even did not hesitate to exchange the most important treasure in the temple, "Silver Biguo", just to ask others to brand his baguette into the magic circle, and accidentally obtained a kind of magical power - Xeno-Evoking Spirit, which made him more confident to face today's competition.

Today, he didn't lose, but he lost.

The tip of the spear was about to penetrate his throat and chest, driving his soul away from his body, he could no longer cultivate Buddhism, and he could no longer help any of the people in Qingping Town who were being bullied and oppressed, he closed his eyes in despair.

A noisy voice came, he didn't open his eyes, he knew that Senior Venerable Elder He would definitely fight for his life to save himself.

And the black-clothed officers and soldiers who are aimed at themselves must first turn the head of the gun and go to solve the problem first.

But he didn't open his eyes, because he knew that the small number of disciples led by Shizun would definitely be stopped by Elder Nasu and more disciples.

Even if Shizun rushed over, he would be torn to pieces by the county captain's soldiers, and even if he escaped the combined attack of the county soldiers, the elders who came to observe the festival today would definitely not stand idly by and kill them one by one who escaped from the gunfire—he had heard of the collusion between Elder Nasu and the county lieutenant and the elders of other monasteries, and now he had no doubt about it.

He was dead, the only thought in his tired chest, in his almost exhausted mind.

Suddenly, a louder noisy sound sounded, and even Elder Nasu and the elders who came to observe shouted angrily, and he couldn't help but open his eyes, but suddenly found that there were more than a dozen Taoist priests on the stage inexplicably.

These Taoist priests were all dressed in uniform with a circular totem on their chests, and a dark golden fire dragon spat out a crimson dragon ball.

Two of them were very good-looking—he suddenly remembered, those were the ones who had branded him with a baguette and taught him the magic of xenosuming spirits!

I saw the Taoist priests flying into the encirclement of the county soldiers on the stage, and confronting the Nasu elders who were still attacking Elder He just now, and the black-clothed soldiers, and the Taoist priests stood proudly and without fear.

Outside the encirclement, Elder Na He led more than a dozen disciples to rush up, trying to rescue Monk Qingning, but was hit by several elders on the stage and was seriously injured.

Although the dozen or so disciples he led were also cultivators, their qualifications were not high, and their foundation was too shallow, so they could not effectively operate their spiritual power to exert their magical powers, but they were only a little stronger than ordinary soldiers.

They angrily tried to rush to the altar, but they were still under the combined attack of the county lieutenant's army, suffering heavy casualties, blood splattered on the already tattered altar, and they could not even break through the encirclement.

Among the Taoist priests, there was a tall man - the one who did not help Qingning to brand the magic circle, he puffed up his chest, took a step forward, brushed the dust to his arm, and sneered: "What a wonderful battle, but the drama in the audience is even more sufficient, so that we can open our eyes to it, the Buddha Gate is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"

Elder Nasu waved his hand and motioned to the two disciples around him to take the Qingfa monk down first, and when he heard the words of the Taoist priest, his face was solemn, and he said coldly: "Who are you? This is the internal matter of our temple, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere!"

The Taoist priest sneered and said, "Do you think I'm going to take care of the bad things of you old bald donkeys? ”

Elder Nasu thought to himself, they have no grievances with these Taoist priests for a long time, and they have no enmity in the near future, it must be Qingning's gang who provoked the hornet's nest outside.

Listening to Qingfa, that kid in Qingning has always been restless, often fighting with others outside for some villagers and ordinary people, and there have been several frictions with the county government, this time, he must have caused trouble and came back.

Thinking of this, he calmed down, cleared his throat, folded his hands, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, I don't know which unknown disciple in this temple collided with the master, please look at the thin face of the old man, forgive and forgive him." ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps back, and at the same time motioned to the other elders and soldiers to stay away from the Qingning monk lying on the platform, and vacate his area for those Taoist priests.

The Taoist priest looked at it, his face was even more sarcastic, and he replied with a sneer: "Qingfa monk!"

Elder Nasu was startled, his face changed, his face was angry, and he shouted: "Where did you come from, the unfamiliar Mao Daoist, how can my Buddhism allow the rats to be presumptuous! Buddhism has compassion, it is better to retreat now, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to remove the evil obstacles for the Buddha!"

Elder Nasu and Abbot Nahe, since a few years ago, with the help of the silver fruit of the "Tree of Death" left by Qingping Temple hundreds of years ago, they have experienced a state of disillusionment and suffered heavy physical and mental damage, but fortunately, they have survived the first monk tribulation of Buddhism with difficulty and barely entered the realm of Yuyana.

Although he has never made any progress, he is already a cultivator of the Jade Formation Realm after all.

This time, he invited several highly respected elders of Mangnan County to come over, firstly, to invite them to sit in today's competition, and secondly, to reach an agreement with other monasteries to help Qingping Temple clean up some unnecessary troubles that may be brought about after the implementation of the tax system in the future, and help each other, so that the Buddhist and Taoist forces can develop rapidly again in Mangnan County, and everyone will enjoy the blessings together.

For this reason, Elder Nasu did not hesitate to take out a few silver peculifruits to entertain them, and he was distressed and disgusted to see them ecstatic and gobbling up.

In fact, he had long known that their monasteries also had such plans to increase taxes, but he was afraid of causing those ordinary people to rebel and could not bear this responsibility, so no one dared to move.

Now that he has stepped forward to open this head, it is really something they can't ask for, not to mention, he also got an extra silver bigo.

Although not everyone who eats silver biguo has the effect of increasing their cultivation, but at their age, if they don't grow any longer, they will be buried in the loess like ordinary people. So, even the slightest possibility can make them ecstatic.

At the same time, in order to synchronize with the county government in case the people are in turmoil, Elder Nasu also promised to increase taxes and give them part of the money, and also promised to honor the county order with a silver fruit.

Of course, the county order was also overjoyed, and he originally had the heart to seek wealth, but the court did not issue a decree, so he could not increase the income of the people, and in case of chaos, his black gauze hat would not be guaranteed.

Now Qingping Temple is willing to be the first bird, he can't wait to implement it quickly, not to mention that he can also receive treasures such as silver bigo, and the Haoran righteousness of the Confucian family that he has worked hard to practice, the realm is likely to go to a higher level.

Elder Nasu retracted his cranky thoughts and settled down, now he was one step away from completing this heart-warming and exciting plan, as long as he drove these Taoist priests in front of him away, Qingping Temple was already under his control.

As for the stubborn and ineffective guys like Elder He, in front of the government and the Buddhist and Taoist forces he united, they are just mantis arms as a car, and they can't measure their strength!
