Chapter Twenty-Three: For the First Time in Five Hundred Years
For the next half a month, Wan Fan didn't eat or drink, sat cross-legged, his eyes closed. His hands were still folded, and he was clearly there, but it made people feel as if he was far away.
Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Descending Dragon Hall were also at a loss, and they asked Xingzang one after another if they needed to inform the first seat.
Xingzang said that Wan Fan was in a very good state, and there was no need to inform Shouza and the others.
The other disciples were obviously convinced by Xingzang, and after listening to him, they didn't say anything more.
Xingzang secretly said in his heart: "It is said that Wanfan's qualifications are dull, but now it seems that it is only because his talent has not been developed." Now that he has opened his mind, I am afraid that he will make great progress on the way to cultivation. I have been enlightened for more than 20 years about the principles of Buddhism and Sangha, but Wan Fan had an epiphany after I said a few words. I also entered the realm of selflessness that can not be found. If he can escape this catastrophe, the Eastern Wilderness Continent will definitely have a place for him. ”
Not to mention it here, at this moment, the eastern wilderness is surging. Many cultivation sects gathered on Mount Meru.
For nothing else, Mount Meru caught the traitor planted by the Demon Sect in this gate, and many people speculated that Buddhism was going to make a big move this time. The war with the Demon Cult is on the verge of breaking out.
Another reason is that Rong Qin, the head of the Taichu Holy Mansion, has descended on Mount Meru for the first time in five hundred years since his debut. Although everyone doesn't know why, they can guess that it has something to do with the Demon Cult.
The news of Rong Bin's death in battle did not spread.
In the past few days, people from all walks of life have been coming to Mount Meru under various banners, in fact, they are all waiting for Rong Qin, wanting to see what big moves the Buddhist Taoists have.
Mount Meru and the Taichu Holy Mansion are the top inheritances of the Eastern Wilderness, especially the war with the Demon Sect, which is very involved, and on the Eastern Wilderness Continent, many sects are afraid that no one can get rid of the relationship alone. So the sooner you get the news, the sooner you can deploy.
And Mount Meru is not flustered in the face of the crowd that is surging like a flood tide, and it is well organized. There was no rush in arranging food and accommodation.
All this proves that Mount Meru has long been ready for everyone to come. But in this way, everyone speculated and discussed.
"Looking at the appearance of Mount Meru, I'm afraid I guessed that there would be a lot of people coming. I'm afraid that this time Rong Qin's head of Mount Meru is related to a great event. Someone said to the people around him.
The response was: "Then it goes without saying that the head of Rongqin has not been to Mount Meru for five hundred years, and he suddenly came here this time, so it's strange to say that it's okay." ”
Such discussions are raining down on countless people, and various speculations have sprung up.
"The Demon Sect has planted a spy on Mount Meru with the technique of raising babies, and I am afraid that this time the head of Rongqin went to Mount Meru, which is related to this. ”
"The art of raising babies! That's the magic of the Demon Sect. It is also a secret method to nourish the infant baby, and the baby will be loyal to the Demon Cult as soon as it takes effect. It is an extremely powerful puppet technique. ”
"If this is the case, the Buddha Sect must have lost a lot of face, and I am afraid that it will have to fight to the death with the Demon Sect. ”
"Then this time Rong Qin's head went to Mount Meru, and Buddhism should have invested a lot of money. In order to pull the Daomen into a camp. After all, the Demon Sect is not easy to deal with. With Buddhism alone, I'm afraid it's not an opponent. ”
"A thousand years ago, the Demon Sect was in decline, and it was just a lingering breath at the moment. ”
"Fellow Daoist, you just came out of the customs, a great war just broke out in the south a while ago, and the Demon Sect was cultivating in the southern Xinjiang, and now it already has the ability to attack the Eastern Wilderness again. ”
"In this way, it should be expected that Buddhism will come to us this time. Will Buddhism and Taoism take this opportunity to invite us to join the war? ”
"Those who are righteous in the right way, punishing evil and eliminating demons are within their duty. ”
"Buddhism and Taoism are not sure of winning, and I am afraid that you and I are just cannon fodder. We are not as deeply rooted as Buddhism and Taoism, I am afraid that when we reach the southern battlefield, you and I will be the first to die. ”
"Then let's not go. ”
"If you don't go, the voice of the people, the name of the righteous path, will also make your life worse than death. And if you don't go, if you are defined as a fellow demon sect, who will be able to withstand the thunderous blow of the Buddhist Daomen at that time. ”
"Well, that's good. ”
"It's better to be like this, we are united, even if there is something at that time, we can take care of each other. ”
As soon as these words came out, some people immediately echoed them.
This kind of dialogue is just the tip of the iceberg, most of the people who come here have the same thoughts, and everyone in the Demon Sect knows that the big war a while ago is even more panicked at the moment. At this moment, the Buddhist Daomen has made such a big move, and it is impossible for everyone to stay in peace.
After a few more days, there were more and more people on the mountain, but I didn't see the people of the Taichu Holy Mansion going up the mountain, and I didn't see the Buddhist monks making a sound.
Wan Fan is still in the realm of selflessness, and he has no knowledge of the outside world.
'Buzz'
On this day, the bell of Mount Meru rang again, not an alarm bell, but the highest etiquette to welcome the most distinguished guests.
Rong Qin is here.
The Primordial Holy Mansion is the only existence on this continent that can be equal to Mount Meru, and the arrival of its head is a major event that cannot be ignored even for Mount Meru.
The bell had never rang for so many people before, but after Rong Qin appeared, it rang immediately. Rong Qin's position in the Eastern Wilderness can be imagined.
No one will be angry because of this, the name of Rongqin has been resounding on this continent for too long, and there are all hegemonic existences here, but there are most people who have grown up listening to Rongqin's deeds.
As soon as Rong Qin appeared at the foot of Mount Meru, he was greeted by Buddhist disciples. When I arrived at the gate of Mount Meru, Xuankong and all the monks of the common character generation were waiting here.
"Amitabha, the head of Rongqin came from afar, and he missed the welcome, and he hoped that the head of the house would forgive his sins. Xuankong smiled kindly and said.
Rong Qin has white hair, and his long beard is already covered with snow. He is worthy of being a powerful person who has cultivated to a high level, although he is hundreds of years old, his pace is steady, and he does not show his old age at all. Rong Qin's eyes were kind, but at this moment, he still couldn't hide the sluggishness and tiredness in his eyes.
This was not caused by the bumps along the way, but he already knew that Rong Bin died in battle, and the pain of losing his son in old age, even if he was a cultivator, he was not immune.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, I have to thank you. Rong Qin said.
"The head of the family is tired all the way, please go to the temple to rest today, and how about discussing it with the heads of each family later?" Xuankong said.
Although Rong Qin has experienced great sorrow, he is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves after all, and after listening to Xuankong's words at this moment, his eyes flashed, but he did not let people find it, and then said: "I am tired of the abbot thinking about it." Follow the local customs, everything is arranged by the abbot. ”
Xuankong smiled after hearing this, and then invited Rong Qin into Mount Meru.
Rong Qin was arranged in a guest room that had been prepared a long time ago, but as soon as Rong Qin arrived at Mount Meru, he closed the door.
Many people wanted to see Rong Qin, but they were rejected by the disciples of the Taichu Holy Mansion who were guarding the gate on the grounds that the master had an order and did not see anyone.
After a whole day, Rong Qin went out of the room, guided by the disciples of Buddhism, and went straight to the main hall of Mount Meru.
On the main hall of Mount Meru, many people have already gathered, and Xuankong has already arrived.
Rong Qin greeted everyone one by one, and then sat next to Xuankong.
Xuankong said: "You all came from afar, which really makes my Sumeru Mountain shine. Seeing all of you Taoist friends, it really made me have a lot of glory under the green light of Buddhism. ”
No one dared not follow the high hat that Xuankong brought to everyone, and they all said that they were disturbing.
"This time, I also invited the leading inheritance of Taoism, the head of the Taichu Holy Mansion, Rongqin Zhenren. There is a place in Mount Meru where hospitality is not good, and please forgive me. Xuankong said.
"Where is the abbot, it is the poor road who has come to disturb him. Rong Qin replied.
Xuankong also responded with a smile after hearing this, and then said: "I think you have already had a lot of speculation about this incident. Before, I kept silent about Mount Meru, because this matter was related to the descendants of the Taichu Holy Mansion, so I could only speak after the arrival of Rongqin Zhenren. ”
As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that the main topic was coming, and they all mentioned the spirit of 120,000 points. I also know with them that in yesterday's time, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism must have met, and what they are saying at this moment is all words that can be put on the table, and there are some things that cannot be said, I am afraid that the people here will never know it for the rest of their lives.
But it's nothing, the two leading inheritances will definitely explain everything.
Xuankong continued to speak, and said: "I'm ashamed to say that some time ago, my Buddhism was not supervised effectively, and there was a traitor, which can be described as the biggest joke in a thousand years. This rebel fornicated with the Demon Sect, and also let go of the important figures of the Demon Sect that Puhang's junior brother desperately brought back. As a result, we have lost the best opportunity to defeat the Demon Cult in one fell swoop. Originally, he was also rescued by the Demon Sect, but a few days ago, he was caught and captured by a few disciples of my Qingshi Hall who were out on errands. And, it also brought a shocking news. ”
Everyone held their breath and wondered what had happened to make Buddhism and Taoism so important.
Xuankong didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said: "When this rebel was captured, he still had the Taichu Immortal Sword. And according to what he said, on the first day of my Eastern Wilderness, Rong Bin had already fallen. ”
As soon as these words came out, they really shocked the four seats.
Who is Rong Bin? It is difficult to produce a world-shattering genius in 10,000 years, and he has cultivated for more than 20 years, but he is close to cultivating into a big man who has been cultivating for hundreds of years. If he is allowed time, within a hundred years, his realm cultivation will be able to suppress Xuankong, Rongqin and other veteran powerhouses. Even now, before the Dao Law is completed, it can already be on its own, and it can resist the Demon Sect on the first day of the Demon Sect.
Everyone talked about it for a long time, and then someone asked: "Rong Bin was born to fight against the Demon Dao, who is known as the first genius of the Demon Dao, but now that Brother Rong Bin has fallen, is it because he died at the hands of the Demon Wushuang?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking about it, quietly waiting for Xuankong and the others to answer. If this is the case, I am afraid that the previous speculations will come true, and the war between the three families of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon will break out again after a thousand years.
Who knew that Xuankong shook his head and denied everyone's speculation. Everyone looked at each other, could it be that in addition to Demon Wushuang, there was anyone else who could kill Rong Bin? Could it be that the powerful figure of the Demon Sect's predecessors made a move, and Rong Bin was defeated and died?
"All this news was said by the Buddhist rebel Wan Fan, according to what he said, before Rong Binxian's nephew fell, he desperately suppressed Demon Wushuang. Then Rong Binxian's nephew died of a loss of divine power. Xuankong said.
"Master Xuankong, it's not that we don't believe in Mount Meru. But since Wan Fan is a member of the Demon Sect, how credible is his words?Where did Rong Bin and Demon Wushuang fall?" someone asked aloud.
Xuankong was obviously prepared, and said, "According to Wan Fan, the final battlefield between Rong Bin and Demon Wushuang is the clear water and cold pool. ”
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this, the blue water and cold pool were the Eastern Wilderness, and no one could find them on weekdays.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable. Rong Bin finally spoke, blocking the sound of discussion, and he said: "My son Rong Bin took the lead in fighting against the Demon Dao, even if he fell to the Taichu Holy Mansion, he had nothing to say. But that Wanfan was originally a Buddhist person, and the head of Xuankong didn't want the two Taoist and Buddhist families to have a grudge because of this. That's why I came here on Mount Meru. After today, I will personally talk to Na Wanfan and try to find out the truth of the matter. But I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Buddhism. ”
Everyone understood the reason, it turned out that Rong Qin's trip to Mount Meru this time was just for the fall of Rong Bin. The fall of such a genius is indeed shocking. But other than that, it really has nothing to do with other sects. Moreover, neither Buddhism nor Taoism has expressed its intention to wage war with the Demon Sect.
Buddhism is okay to say, but the fall of such a genius in the Taichu Holy Mansion shocked the world, should you just endure it?
The Primal Sacred Mansion had the ability to fight the Demon Sect, so no one believed that Rong Qin would give up. The revenge of killing the son must be endless.
Therefore, when all this was said and Rong Qin returned to his residence, Mount Meru was still very lively, and no one left. Everyone is waiting for the outcome of the dialogue between Rong Qin and Wan Fan.
An unknown little monk, his words at this moment are related to the major matter of whether the Taoist and the Demon Sect are at war.
