283 Forgiveness
The white moonlight fell on the Tianjin Bridge, and the surroundings were silent for a while, only the murmuring of Luoshui flowed endlessly.
Whether it was the master concubine Xuan on the bridge or the Dugu valve under the bridge, they all stood with bated breath at this moment, looking at Meng Xiuyuan worriedly.
Now that the victory and defeat have been divided, even the four holy monks have all fallen together, and it is really difficult for them to have a sense of challenge in the face of this peerless sword immortal who seems to have come from the dust.
How things will end next is only up to Meng Xiuyuan.
"Meng Gongzi ......"
The senior concubine looked at Meng Xiuyuan and hesitated for a long time, she wanted to say some words of persuasion as usual, but as soon as she opened her mouth and spit out a few words, she couldn't help choking.
In fact, judging from the situation of both parties at the moment, no matter whether she is affectionate or reasonable, or powerful, she is not qualified to say anything more to Meng Xiuyuan, so she can only look deeply with pleading eyes.
Meng Xiuyuan only glanced at the concubine when he heard this, then ignored her anymore, and instead walked straight to the four holy monks on the ground on the side, and asked bluntly:
"I wonder what the four masters plan to do after today?"
The four monks had almost exhausted their spirit in one move just now, and at this moment, they all looked a little old, but after all, the four of them had a high realm, so even if they sat cross-legged on the ground, they still did not change their demeanor.
"Dreamy empty flowers, why not catch it, gain and loss, it's better to let it go.
Today, Lord Meng Shi not only conquers people with strength, but also convinces people with reason.
Those remarks about Buddhism and the people of the world are really thought-provoking.
The four of my duties as members of the Buddhist sect have been fulfilled tonight, and since I have been defeated, I will not cause any more trouble to Lord Meng......"
Zen Master Jiaxiang was dusty and embarrassed, but his expression in his words was still as calm as before.
"Good, good, what Senior Brother Jiaxiang said is good.
As long as it is beneficial to all living beings in the world, movement is a Buddha, and stillness is also a Buddha.
As a disciple of Buddhism, Lao Qu has done his best to stop the Meng Shi Master today.
After returning to the mountain, the mountain gate will be closed on the same day, so that the disciples of the Tiantai Sect will no longer be involved in the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, and they will cultivate the land in the temple with peace of mind and chant the scriptures, and then meditate on meditation while supporting themselves......"
The Master of Wisdom lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, while Dao Xin nodded in agreement, indicating that he was careless.
Among the four monks, only the Emperor Heart Venerable, who is burly and mighty, has a graceful and elegant temperament, and his face is solemn, as if he has some different thoughts in his heart.
Seeing this, although Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised, he was not in a hurry to get angry, but only said indifferently:
"Master Emperor Heart has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Emperor Xin did not hesitate, and said calmly:
"The Demon Gate is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, except for it, even with the amazing ability of Lord Meng, I am afraid it will still be difficult to eradicate it.
The old man was ordered by his predecessor to bring the Huayan Sect to fight against him from generation to generation, so as to prevent it from harming sentient beings.
Therefore, even if Lao Wei is defeated by the Meng Shi today, he agrees with the donor's view of 'Buddhism and the people', but it is really difficult to guarantee that the mountain ......will not be closed."
As soon as the Emperor Heart Venerable's words came out, the faces of the remaining three monks beside him immediately changed slightly, and they looked at him with concern. On the side, Concubine Xuan couldn't help but snort softly, her eyes were full of worry.
The Emperor Heart Venerable himself seemed to have put his life and death out of the question, and his expression was still calm, and he continued:
The key to what Meng Shi said in his words is that there are too many Buddhist disciples in this world, and the power of Buddhism is too strong, so that arrogance and lasciviousness are born, and the people are tired of hard work.
In this case, in the future, when my Huayan Sect disciples went out to subdue demons, they disguised themselves and hid their identities as disciples of Buddhism, only acting secretly with a concealed identity, and never seeking the slightest benefit for themselves.
Such rules are recorded in the temple rules of Huayan Temple, and the disciples of the sect are sworn by the Buddha before entering the temple.
Does Master Meng think it's okay? ”
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then saw that Emperor Xin's expression was calm and not like a fake, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly.
You must know that martial arts in this world are closely related to spiritual will, and oaths are not something that can be made casually.
The fact that Venerable Emperor Heart was able to say such a thing surprised Meng Xiuyuan.
Thinking back to the battle just now, from beginning to end, no matter whether these four monks were in an advantage or a disadvantage, they had never killed Meng Xiuyuan, and even after Meng Xiuyuan made it clear that he wanted to destroy the reputation of Buddhism and block the development of Buddhism in a battle tonight, there was not the slightest anger in their moves.
Obviously, regardless of the identities of the four Buddhist leaders, these four masters can be regarded as rare philanthropic people in terms of themselves. Although it is not good whether they are fully worthy of the title of "holy monk", at least they can still be called "eminent monks".
Thinking of this, Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to embarrass them anymore, arched his hand towards the four monks, and immediately turned to look at the concubine and said:
"Miss Shi, that's the end of today's business.
If Cihang Jianzhai still asks any master to help, it doesn't hurt to come to me again to challenge.
If not, please tell the Venerable Master and ask her to come and see me in person......"
After that, Meng Xiuyuan didn't wait for the concubine to answer, and immediately turned around and walked under the Tianjin Bridge.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
When the concubine heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, she couldn't help but be speechless, but the four holy monks looked at Meng Xiuyuan's distant back, and whispered a Buddha horn in unison, as if to see Meng Xiuyuan off, and also seemed to express their admiration and gratitude.
And the Dugu Valve on the ship didn't dare to take a breath when they saw this, for fear that Meng Xiuyuan would find them, so they just hoped that Meng Xiuyuan would leave as soon as possible.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, Meng Xiuyuan walked a few steps, and suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look under the bridge, and said to the two Dugu valve big ships above Luoshui:
"By the way, Old Madam You, it seems that we haven't finished talking just now......"
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said this, everyone in Dugu was like falling into an ice cave, even if they were all strong martial artists, they couldn't help but tremble slightly and their feet were unstable.
Only You Chuhong barely held up the posture, gritted his teeth and stood up, and forcibly responded:
"Meng Gongzi's miraculous skills are world-renowned, and the old man admires him.
If the son has any grudges, he will report it to the old man alone, and please don't implicate the ignorant juniors......"
Seeing the battle just now, Meng Xiuyuan single-handedly suppressed the four holy monks of Buddhism, and You Chuhong no longer had any luck in his heart.
Listening to his answer, it is obvious that he can't even care about the last dignity of Dugu Valve as the four major gates, and only hopes to give up his life and let Dugu Valve survive today's catastrophe.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he didn't make a direct move, but only asked again with a normal face:
"Don't worry, Old Madam You, I still have something to ask:
If I am just a person with mediocre martial arts, and I am lucky enough to get the Heshi Bi by chance, then how will the noble lord deal with me today in order to seize the treasure? ”
Although Meng Xiuyuan's words were not loud, he had already used his true qi, and the words shot into You Chuhong's mind like a knife, making her cold sweat immediately flow down her back.
You Chuhong knew that Meng Xiuyuan's spiritual cultivation was even higher than herself, and it was difficult for her to lie in front of her, so she simply let her heart go down and said truthfully:
"He's Bi is something that my Dugu Valve is bound to obtain, and if possible, I will never let it be left in the hands of others.
If Meng Gongzi's strength is mediocre, we will definitely forcibly take the treasure.
However, we will not kill him, but will abolish Childe's martial arts, bind him, and send you, the thief of treasure theft, to Cihang Jingzhai to improve relations with him......"
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, and he could hear that what the old lady said was the truth, so he immediately responded:
"Thank you for Old Madam You's honesty, since this is the case, then this matter will be handled like this."
"What?!"
"Grandma is the first master of my Dugu Valve, and martial arts are related to the life and death of my Dugu Valve, and they cannot be abolished......"
"Master Meng, please also ask you to be a large number of adults, let's change the punishment......"
"I am willing to be punished for my grandmother, and I ask Meng Gongzi to allow ......"
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said this, everyone in Dugu couldn't help but be in an uproar. Although they knew that today's catastrophe was sad, they still found it very difficult to accept it when they heard that Meng Xiuyuan was going to abolish You Chuhong's martial arts.
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and explained:
"Everyone may have misunderstood, I am not only referring to Old Madam You, but also everyone present.
If you don't want to do it, I can do it for you. ”
Hearing Meng Xiuyuan's words again, the originally noisy Dugu Valve and everyone quieted down for a moment, and looked at Meng Xiuyuan in disbelief one by one, they didn't expect this benevolent young man who had spared the four holy monks just now to say such a thing.
After a while, I saw You Chuhong looking at Meng Xiuyuan with burning eyes, gritted his teeth and said:
"Meng Gongzi, is your punishment too vicious?
The people here today are almost all the masters of my Dugu Valve.
If you abolish all their martial arts, then even if I will not destroy the sect immediately, it will inevitably decline rapidly.
The four holy monks have fought with all your might, and you have not broken their foundation.
I'm Dugu, it's just that Feng'er and you have passed a few hands, why do you want to kill them all like this? ”
Meng Xiuyuan chuckled lightly when he heard this, and replied to You Chuhong:
"I have heard of the domineering name of the Dugu valve.
And seeing that your lord's methods against me today are so unscrupulous, I'm afraid that he has done a lot of bullying things on weekdays, right?
I dare to ask you, the ordinary people and innocent people who have offended you in the past, have you ever been kind enough to let them go and not embarrass them?
And if my martial arts skills are not good today, I am afraid that my skills will be wasted and I will end up miserable.
Why, then, should I forgive you? ”
Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan's voice paused slightly, and a pair of eyes suddenly glanced at the people on the ship, and there was a faint light in his eyes:
"If any of you have never bullied or harmed innocent people in your life, please stand up, and I will never be offended."
Meng Xiuyuan let out a low snort, startling the Dugu Valve and everyone in a trance, and the voice full of spiritual power came, making it difficult for any of them to take a step forward confidently.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan no longer wanted to talk to the Dugu Lord, so he immediately tiptoed a little and threw himself from the Tianjin Bridge to the two boats below.
"No!"
You Chuhong reacted the fastest, and immediately flew diagonally from the big boat, straight in the direction of Meng Xiuyuan, and waved the iron staff in his hand sharply.
This old lady is worthy of the title of the first master of the Dugu Valve, and she is already a martial arts master-level figure in the rivers and lakes, and her cultivation is hidden above the demon demons such as Bian Buying, You Niaoti, etc.
However, at this moment, she was anxious to protect her children, and she actually jumped up and fought hard with Meng Xiuyuan, which was really unwise, making herself fall into an extremely passive situation.
Meng Xiuyuan slapped it with all his might, and the old lady was immediately smashed back into the boat like a cannonball, causing dust and smoke to fly, sawdust to fly, and a big ship almost broke off at the waist.
Seeing this scene from afar, Concubine Xuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, only to understand that this Meng Shaoxia, who kept his hands everywhere, turned out to have such a decisive side.
Especially when she remembered that Meng Xiuyuan was going to meet with her master Fan Qinghui in person, the concubine's worry became more and more intense, and she couldn't help but glance at the figure that seemed to be a tiger entering a flock of sheep from afar, so she hurriedly turned around and helped the four holy monks to go quietly.
……
In the rivers and lakes, the news spread extremely fast.
Although the battle on the Tianjin Bridge this night seemed to be unwitnessed by others, it was already known to everyone in a short period of time.
The four holy monks of Buddhism were defeated in battle, and dozens of masters of Dugu Valve were abolished martial arts, such an appalling thing was completely from the hands of a young man, which really made people in the rivers and lakes unbelievable.
But the facts are in front of you, Dugu Valve declined overnight, and no one with a head or face showed up; Cihang Jingzhai's original high-profile "He's Bi Choosing the Master" ended silently, and the original action against Meng Xiuyuan, the thief who stole He's Bi, was also gone.
These extremely abnormal things are all powerful proof that everyone in the rivers and lakes is clever, how can they not guess the truth behind it.
So overnight, Meng Xiu's momentum in the rivers and lakes has risen to a higher level, and many people have speculated that this young master's martial arts are even higher than the three grandmasters of Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, and Fu Cailin, but the time to become famous is still short, so the prestige has not yet accumulated enough.
According to the habits of the rivers and lakes, people with good deeds have reminded this peerless swordsman of the title, just like "Wuzun" Bi Xuan, "Sanren" Ning Daoqi, and "Yijian Master" Fu Cailin, when Meng Xiuyuan was mentioned, many nicknames were naturally hung in front of his name.
"Moon Sword Immortal", "Heavenly Sword", and "Dust Boy", because the time is still short, so these titles have not yet reached a unity among the people in the rivers and lakes, and many people have their own names, and they argue endlessly, and take pleasure in it.
As a party concerned, although Meng Xiuyuan didn't care much about his title, he was also happy to be discussed by everyone in the rivers and lakes.
After all, his biggest purpose in this battle is to attack the prestige of Buddhism, and the more this matter is mentioned by people in the rivers and lakes at this moment, the unattainable image established by Buddhism in the past will become more and more cracked.
And in addition to the turmoil, Meng Xiuyuan was naturally not idle.
After resting in Luoyang City for a few days and sorting out the gains from this battle, Meng Xiuyuan was ready to set off again and turn to deal with the real enemy of the Demon Gate.
On the occasion of parting, Li Jing and Li Shimin took the initiative to come to the door and once again feasted Meng Xiuyuan at Dongjia Restaurant.
Meng Xiuyuan wanted to talk to the two of them, so naturally he would not refuse, and he went to the appointment happily.
However, after Meng Xiuyuan found the restaurant and pushed the door into the hall, the scene in front of him made him stunned.
Just because an unexpected person quietly stood in front of him with an unexpected look.
"Brother Meng, I finally see you again!"
A familiar and honest voice came, it was Daniel Zhang, who was born in a small restaurant in Nacuishan Town and helped Meng Xiuyuan break through with a casual conversation in Pengcheng.
I haven't seen him for three years, and this tower-like man is not only becoming more and more burly and strong, but also has a lot of wind and frost on his face, and his slightly vicissitudes of life seem to be at least ten years older than Meng Xiuyuan.
What's even more striking is that his left sleeve is empty, and there is no arm to support it.
