Chapter 52: Strife

The Jinlong Temple has always been peaceful towards people, but when there was poisoning, from Master Cidu to the newcomer Xiao Shami, people were panicked and nervous. At that moment, Fa Qing personally led people to close all the doors that could enter and exit the Golden Dragon Temple, and interrogated the people in the kitchen one by one, and subdivided them in detail.

Master Cidu was left alone in Fang Dui's room, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed. Fang Du heard the footsteps around him back and forth, and then gradually quieted down, thinking that everyone had gone out, he couldn't bear it, and quietly opened his eyes a gap, just as he saw Master Cidu looking at him with a smile.

"Wake up, then come over and have a cup of tea, always lying down like that, easy to have backache. Master Cidu smiled all over his face, Fang Du was embarrassed, turned over and said, "Did you already know that I was pretending to be poisoned?" Master Cidu said, "I knew it when the old man gave you the pulse, but why did you do this?"

Fang Du said, "I also accidentally found someone doing something in the meal, and at first I panicked, not knowing who I had offended. But after calming down, the answer was quickly answered. At this point, Fang Duan was silent.

"You are a wise and kind-hearted child, you can tell me his name directly, in fact, if you don't say it, the old man will guess it. Master Cidu said, "They were aggressive from the beginning and refused to let go of the obsession in their hearts. I don't want to kill you now!" Fang Duan smiled bitterly, "I think I didn't do anything wrong, but in the end, I still tired you, Master, and Senior Sister Li." ”

"No, we don't feel tired of you," Master Cidu's eyes softened as he looked at Fang Du, "Buddhism says that kindness is the foundation and compassion is cherished. But the old man felt that it was okay to do good deeds, but not to those who had evil in their hearts. Fang Du hesitated for a long time and asked, "Master, will you let Baji go?"

"Why do you ask?" Master Cidu was curious. Fang Du said, "Although he is a member of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, if he has never hurt anyone, he is not a demon of the Demon Sect." Shouldn't such a person be given a chance to make amends?"

Master Cidu shook his head, "Above the main hall, how is the Imperial Feather Hall embarrassed, they have even poisoned your food, the purpose is to use this matter to kill two birds with one stone." If something happens to you in the Golden Dragon Temple, the old man will not be able to escape first. At this time, it is on the cusp of the storm, even if it is a pure place of Buddhism, it cannot be truly pure. If I let Baji go, what do you think will happen to the people of Mihado?"

Fang Du knew very well in his heart that if Master Cidu did this, not only would he be safe, but even Chang Anran would not give up easily. He said, "Do you want to kill innocent people for their own selfish desires?" Master Cidu looked at the swaying green bamboo outside the window and said helplessly, "The old man has been practicing in the temple since he was a child, and he always thought that he could save people from impermanence. But after presiding over the Golden Dragon Temple, Lao Qu realized that those were just wishful thinking. ”

"Yixi City is a holy land, and there are so many immortal cultivators, I thought it was ......" Seeing the look of dejection on Master Cidu's face, Fang Du panicked, and he stammered, "I, I escaped from Sanhegou because, because I saw the river flowing backwards and the vision of the little beast talking. I thought that Yixi City could protect my life, but ......"

"However, this is not the holy place you imagined, or rather, filthy!" Master Cidu bit down on the last few words, and Fang Dui knelt down in front of him in shock, cold sweat dripping. Master Cidu helped him up and said in a serious voice, "Whether it is Lao Wei or your master, he has long been in the quagmire, and the sins he has committed cannot be resolved in this life. If you want to change the situation in this Yixi City, you can only rely on you juniors!"

"Master, what can I do?" Fang Duan was very earnest, and Master Cidu said, "The Immortal Cultivation Sect is divided, fighting openly and secretly, but it just wants to be the head of the dragons. But for hundreds of years, no one but the Cult of All Souls could make the other sects submit willingly. ”

"Surrender?to the Ten Thousand Souls Sect?" Fang Duan was dumbfounded, and Master Cidu lost his mind, "To say such a thing from the mouth of the old man is simply a big joke in the world. But Lao Wei also had to admit that most of the killers who killed the Wanling Sect back then were because they didn't want to continue to surrender. ”

"Master, please tell me what the real situation was back then. Fang Du respectfully touched the ground with his head, and Master Cidu said, "Back then, the Ten Thousand Souls Sect had a large number of people and was quite powerful. Even if the Golden Dragon Temple and Zixiao Pavilion joined forces, they were not their opponents. At that time, the Ten Thousand Souls Sect could arbitrarily transfer disciples from various sects, even the head of the sect, and they could not disobey it. Otherwise, the light ones will be whipped, and the heavy ones will be imprisoned in the water prison of the All Souls Sect, and life will be worse than death. ”

The Ten Thousand Souls Sect is prosperous, and Taishi Yingbin is a high-minded and arrogant person, so from the beginning of the Golden Dragon Temple, many people have suffered the losses of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect openly and secretly. As a result, the grudges that piled up among the various factions piled up more and more, and one day they broke out.

Master Cidu said, "In that battle, we tried our best, either you died or I died." Although the Cult of All Souls had been prepared for a long time, it was still caught off guard, and we succeeded. The cult of all souls, which was once at its peak, was reduced to ashes by a fire. We thought we had succeeded, and no one would ever humiliate us again, but we planted a frightened fire with our own hands in the darkest, weakest, and most untouchable place in our hearts. In the middle of the night, there are always unwilling souls asking for my life, no matter how many Buddhist scriptures I recite, I can't eliminate the bad karma of the old man!"

Although Fang Du had long thought that the truth of the matter would be unbearable, when Master Cidu said it himself, he was still extremely shocked and almost petrified.

"Amitabha," Master Cidu got up and slowly knelt in front of Fang Dui, only then he jumped up and held Master Cidu hard, "Master, what are you doing, I can't stand it!" Master Cidu used three points of strength, Fang Du couldn't stand it, and could only kneel opposite him, prostrate on the ground.

"Fang Dui, ever since you appeared in Yixi City, I know that the truth of all that ugliness can no longer be hidden. It's just that when the truth is revealed, whether it is Lao Wei or Feiyun, all the people who participated in that war will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Yixi City. The old man is worried that in this way, people with ulterior motives will take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Dragons must not be left without a leader, this burden is handed over to you!"

"Master, I, I can't!" Fang Du cried out in a panic, and Master Cidu interrupted him, "Don't panic, the old man thinks you've thought of a complete solution. Back then, there was a treasure in Taishi's welcome, called Poison You. This thing is both good and evil, if it can be used for you, it will increase a lot of strength!" Fang Duan trembled and put his hand into his arms and took out an object, "What the master said, but this thing?"
