Chapter 35: Interception

West Pure Land Continent, the southwest region, a prosperous town.

Xie Jiashu walked on the bustling streets, holding a folding fan in one hand and a string of Buddhist beads in the other, like a Confucian and a monk.

His face became more and more pale, but his hairpin and long shirt were still neat.

Just as there are many temples and monks in the Middle Earth Divine Continent and Nanmenghua Continent, there are also many academies and Confucian scholars in the West Pure Land Continent, so his outfit is not eye-catching when he walks on the street.

Don't look at Xie Jiashu who is very leisurely at the moment, in fact, he is being hunted down.

is not a monk of the Great Sangma Temple, the Great Sangma Temple is rotten from top to bottom, at least it does not conform to the beliefs of his Confucian disciples, so it was all destroyed by him.

The obscene and dark things in the temple were all notified to the world by Xie Jiashu.

With this move, Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple naturally did not want to pursue him.

However, Master Sangsang, the contemporary abbot of the Great Sangma Temple, was born in the Great Burning Temple with a long tradition, and there are many senior brothers and younger brothers.

So those senior brothers and disciples of Master Sangsang ignored the precepts and went down the mountain to chase and kill Xie Jiashu.

These senior brothers and disciples, who are monks, but have not gone away from their common thoughts, and are very angry, are like Master Sangsang, who are Buddhas who have broken their own fruits.

Although the realm is no longer before the night of ascension, the combat power is still very terrifying.

Xie Jiashu had already suffered a lot of injuries when he overtook the six old monks such as Master Sangsang and Master Sangda, and he could only choose to escape in the face of these wolf-like old monks of the Great Burning Temple.

Expecting that he might escape from the Western Pure Land Continent and return to the North Zhige Continent or go to the Middle Earth Divine Continent, the old monks of the Great Burning Ah Temple laid many checkpoints in the east and southeast.

Xie Jiashu had no choice but to choose to attack the east and west, come to this southwest region, and prepare to go south to the Southwest Heavenly Demon Continent.

The Great Burning Ah Temple is one of the ancestral temples of Tantric Buddhism, in the West Pure Land Continent, there are many descendants of temples and believers, if you don't leave quickly, sooner or later you will be blocked by these monks.

And once he arrives in the Southwest Heavenly Demon Continent, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and no matter how angry these old monks are in the Great Burning Temple, they can only hold back.

Actually, Xie Jiashu is not very worried.

After the Buddhas of the Western Pure Land Continent flew out of the sky with the Divine Lord Niangniang and Old Master Han, it was not so easy for this Buddhist continent to keep him.

It's because he's still in the mood to go shopping.

After seeing a bookstore, he even walked in, picked up two old books, and bought a few volumes of the Xianjiadi newspaper by the way.

When he walked out of the library, it was noon, and in addition to the people wearing Buddhist beads and the vendors worshipping the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, there were also more devout believers on the long street, kneeling in three steps and bowing in nine steps, to make a pilgrimage to the largest temple nearby.

For this scene, Xie Jiashu didn't care.

After all, in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, there are also sincere students, or old Confucian students, who will burn incense and bathe every day, and bow to the Holy Teacher.

But when he was looking at a young boy and his grandmother in the same way, a group of young ascetics suddenly surrounded him.

"Dare to ask the donor, but is it Xie Jiashu of Hanshan Academy?"

Xie Jiashu shook his head: "No." ”

The young ascetic at the head frowned slightly: "Isn't it?" ”

He was about to take out a portrait from his arms, Xie Jiashu explained: "My name is Li Gengxin, I am from the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and I don't know Xie Jiashu of Hanshan Academy. ”

Hearing this, the young ascetic led by him was a little speechless, he had just seen the person in the portrait, exactly the same as the Confucian scholar in front of him, he couldn't be wrong.

"Amitabha, scholars should abide by benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, why should Lord Xie joke with the little monk?"

Xie Jiashu smiled and said: "Buddhist disciples should not have greed, hatred, and ignorance, dare to ask the masters, why did they come from?" Don't you want to start killing thoughts and arrest you? ”

The young ascetic led by the leader folded his hands and bowed his head and said: "Xie Shi, the little monk and others were invited by a senior brother of the Great Burning Ah Temple, and I want to invite Xie Shi to go to the Great Burning Ah Temple to meet with each other, so as to solve the cause and effect. ”

Xie Jiashu said gently: "We have been talking for a long time, but we haven't asked the master for the Dharma name? ”

The young ascetic at the head replied: "Little monk Shinichi." ”

Xie Jiashu said: "It turned out to be Master Zhenyi, dare to ask the master, do you know that those monks of the Great Burning Temple want to capture me back, what cause and effect do they want to solve?" ”

Monk Shinichi bowed his head and did not answer.

Xie Jiashu directly threw over a newspaper of the Xianjia Mansion that he had just bought, which recorded in detail what the Great Sangma Temple had done and the pursuit and killing of him by the Great Burning Temple.

"Master Shinichi might as well take a look."

Monk Shinichi took the Xianjia Mansion newspaper and glanced at it, and then transferred it to the other ascetics around him.

After they finished preaching, Xie Jiashu said, "Masters, do you still think I should go to the Great Burning Temple? Or, do you still want to help the Great Burning Temple take me? ”

Monk Shinichi clasped his hands together again, bowed his head and recited, "Amitabha, when you walk in the deep Prajnaparamita, you will see that the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all suffering. ”

"Thank you, it's the little monk who is waiting for the appearance and disturbing the donor!"

Then he continued to chant the Heart Sutra and turned away.

The rest of the young ascetics also chanted the Heart Sutra to follow.

Before he walked a few feet, Monk Shinichi suddenly turned around and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Ashuti of the Great Burning Temple, you should be able to sense that the little monk and others have seen the donor, and they will come soon, and I hope that the donor will arrive on the other side as soon as possible." ”

Xie Jiashu's heart was clear, just like there are rotten Confucianism, evil Confucianism, mellow Confucianism, and true Confucianism, Buddhism is also muddy and sandy, there are evil monks, evil monks, and real virtuous monks.

Then he thanked him: "Thank you, Master! ”

Monk Shinichi nodded, led a group of ascetics, and completely left.

Xie Jiashu also turned into a breeze and drifted away.

……

At dusk, Xie Jiashu came to a large black lake to the south.

According to the introduction of the relevant Xizhou scenery books, this black lake is a holy lake in the southwest region, there were countless ghosts and ghosts breaking out of the lake, and later an old monk of Buddhism fed the demons with his body and walked into the big lake.

His flesh and soul were instantly devoured by the powerful ghosts and demons in the black lake, but after the old monk died, all the powerful ghosts and demons in the lake were overtaken and left the world on their own and stepped into reincarnation.

When the last ghost left, the old monk came back to life, and instead cast a golden body, from an ordinary monk of the Five Realms, to a new Buddha.

The water in the great black lake has also become holy water, which can cure all diseases.

Xie Jiashu came here, naturally wanting to use the water of this black holy lake to heal his injuries.

The Buddhist mental power and karmic fire left on him by the monks of Da Sangma Temple and Da Burning A Temple, although he can resolve it with Confucian secret techniques, it takes time.

And now, what he lacks most is time.

So when he reached a hill on the shore of the Black Sacred Lake, he fell headlong into it.

It's just that before he could fall into the lake, the dark lake water suddenly released a thousand feet of golden light, and three great monks in robes appeared.

It was the monk from the Great Burning Temple.

"Thank you, the three of you have been waiting here for a long time!"

At the same time, the three great monks shot at the same time, one hit the [Thousand Buddha Palms of Demon Suppression], one summoned the [Eight Heavenly Dragons], and the other shot out a burning golden lotus.

Obviously they are monks, but these three are fast and fierce, and they simply don't leave any spare strength.

As early as when the golden light appeared, Xie Jiashu fluttered his shirt and turned around in an instant, narrowly avoiding the first blow of the three old monks.

But the three great monks from the Great Burning Temple didn't want to let him go at all, they all chased him over as soon as possible, and surrounded him with the light of the Buddha.

Xie Jiashu hung above the lake, looked at the one in front of him, and said, "I didn't expect you to calculate that I would come here, I was waiting here, I was careless." ”

The monk in front of him was tall and strong, holding a purple gold demon pestle in his hand, even if he was wearing monk's clothes and robes, he looked more like a butcher than a monk.

Hearing this, he replied lightly: "It's not that the poor monks and others have the ability to reach the sky, and it is calculated that Lord Xie will give up the near and far to come to this holy lake, but the entire Xizhou has laid a net of heaven and earth, no matter where Lord Xie flees, someone will intercept it." ”

"Therefore, the poor monk hopes that Lord Xie can be restrained, so as not to move his hands and hurt the harmony."

Xie Jiashu said with a smile: "I am in the same vein as a cold mountain, and the first thing I admire is the study of Yasheng, and Yasheng has clouds: the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent." ”

"Even though Xie is in a state of exhaustion, it is difficult for me to be arrested."

"The Great Burning Temple wants to be a fallen temple and a group of evil monks, and it is difficult for me, it is useless to say more, and I will see the true chapter under my hands."

Although he is in a difficult situation, Xie Jiashu, who is holding a folding fan, still maintains a handsome bearing, like a good son in the world.

The great monk who stopped in front of him, whose legal name is Huo Mole, raised his demon pestle high and replied: "Since this is the case, then Lord Xie will not blame the poor monks and others for being ruthless." ”

Call!

At the same time as the Fire Mole Purple Gold Demon Suppression Pestle was quickly struck, his left hand slapped out the [Thousand Buddha Palms of Demon Suppression] again.

And the other two great monks also summoned the [Eight Heavenly Dragons] and the [Burning Fire Golden Lotus] again, this is one of their strongest supernatural powers, and they didn't want to give him any chance when they knew the realm of Xie Jiashu.

However, when the [Thousand Buddha Palms of Demon Suppression], [Eight Heavenly Dragons], and [Burning Fire Golden Lotus] blasted towards them from three directions, the figure of the Confucian shirt suddenly disappeared.

Only a red maple leaf remained, allowing the mana of Buddhism to bombard and blow, fluttering and flying in the air.

"Not good!"

Fire Moeller shouted and hurriedly turned around, but it was too late.

I saw Xie Jiashu, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, and he didn't know when he escaped from their encirclement and plunged into the black holy lake.

"Chase!"

Another great monk shouted, and the three of them immediately submerged in the black lake.

But inside the holy lake, there are gorgeous maple leaves everywhere, where is there any trace of Xie Jiashu?

Half an hour later, Xie Jiashu appeared in front of a desolate valley.

Coming out of the Black Holy Lake, his injuries have basically healed, and his temperament is more gentle, but he who escaped from the fire and Mole three, there is not much joy on his face.

Because in front of him, there was a thin and tall middle-aged monk.

Unlike Master Sangsang and Huo Mole, who cut themselves off and became a half-Buddha, the middle-aged monk in front of him is a Buddha in his prime.

In other words, he met the two exemption conditions set by the Divine Lord Niangniang and Old Master Han and others, and he didn't need to cut himself off.

"You are the most prestigious contemporary master of the Great Burning Temple?"

The thin middle-aged monk bowed his head slightly and said: "It is the poor monk, please also ask the donor Xie to cooperate, and go with the poor monk to the Great Burning Temple, and the poor monk guarantees not to hurt the donor's life." ”

Xie Jiashu said: "There is Ashuti Buddha blocking the road in the front, and there are countless half-Buddhas such as Huo Mole chasing and killing, it seems that Xie is in a catastrophe this time." ”

"But there is something I don't understand, and I want to ask the master."

Ashuti said indifferently: "Donor, please speak." ”

Xie Jiashu said: "Master, I don't understand in my later life, you have already achieved the right fruit, but you are a living Buddha in the world, it stands to reason that you shouldn't have six pure roots?" Why do you want to break the precepts for a few degenerate monks who have ruined the reputation of Buddhism and harmed their followers? ”

Ashuti showed a trace of confusion on his face, but he quickly returned to normal, and said: "Although the monks of Dasanma Temple have fallen into the devil's path, they should not be managed by Lord Xie Shi, my Buddhism has its own rules and precepts. ”

Xie Jiashu shook his head: "This is not a reason, according to the agreement of the three sects back then, no matter which one did something to harm the people and bewitch sentient beings, the disciples of the other two families met it, and they all had the right to clean it up." ”

"You Buddhists don't care about my Confucian disciples, and even on the Lingshan Mountain, there is a fallen sage of my Confucian sect, who is studying Buddhist scriptures under the green light."

This is the rule set by the patriarch of the Three Sects himself.

Although under normal circumstances, it is handed over to the other party to deal with, but the other two really want to intervene, and it is not considered to have crossed the line.

As one of the ancestral temples of Tantra, Ashuti should have known this rule.

When Monk Ashuti heard this, a trace of confusion appeared on his face again, and then he replied: "What Master Xie said may be reasonable, but there is another reason why the poor monk wants to take care of this matter. ”

"Oh? What's with? ”

"Master Sangsang is the brother of the poor monk, although we have both escaped into the Buddha's door, but the poor monk still can't bear to see his tragic death."

Xie Jiashu frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that Ashut, who had already attained enlightenment and become a Buddha, would still have such an obsession.

What's more, he noticed the two confusions that appeared on Ashuti's face.

As a Buddha, it is not normal to have such six impure roots.

Seeing that Monk Ashut's face began to become cold, Xie Jiashu quickly replied: "Master Ashut, you have brothers, and you also have below, it is still difficult for the master to leave me today, so I also advise the master not to commit a vain offense." ”

Ashuti was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your brother?" Hanshan Li Xiang? He is far away in Beizhigezhou, but he is afraid that he will not be able to rescue him. ”

Xie Jiashu smiled: "Although he came slowly, there was one who was very fast. ”

"Who?"

Xie Jiashu didn't say anything, and flew directly to leave.
