Chapter 316: The Death of the Second Elder of the Buddhist Association

"The second elder of Buddhism has passed away..."

"What?" Nangong Zikuo stood up from his seat and said in shock, "Elder Du E has passed away?"

"Impossible, Du Er is a real person of the earth spirit, the cultivation of the middle stage of the earth spirit, enjoying three hundred and thirty-three years of longevity, now that it is peaceful today, there is no dispute between good and evil, and Elder Du Er has never hurt his physical strength, how could he suddenly pass away?" Hu Guangcheng stared at the little monk who delivered the letter with a look of disbelief.

It is no wonder that Hu Guangcheng and Nangong Zikuo do not believe that no matter how Buddhist and Taoist monks, they will increase their lifespan by thirty years when they enter the stage of human spirit and cultivate to the realm of perfection.

Entering the Earth Spirit Stage and cultivating to the Perfection Realm will increase your lifespan by 300 years.

Once you enter the Heavenly Spirit Stage and cultivate to the Perfection Realm, you will increase your lifespan by 3,000 years.

If there were no accidental casualties, the immortals of the Heavenly Spirit Perfection Realm would be able to enjoy a lifespan of three thousand three hundred and thirty years.

And the second elder of the Buddhist Association, Du Er, was originally a late stage of cultivation of the earth spirit, although it was not consummated, he could also enjoy nearly 330 years of longevity, but how could he suddenly pass away?

The little monk who came to deliver the letter folded his hands and said while sobbing: "The former deputy sect leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Daoist Fang Yuan, came to discuss matters with Master Du'er, but I don't know why, the two of them seemed to have a dispute, and then Fang Yuandao Chang left angrily, but when he walked out of the meditation hall, he also said a word. ”

"What's the matter?" Hu Guangcheng hurriedly asked the little monk.

The little monk wiped the tears from his face and said, "Daoist Fang Yuan said... Daoist Fang Yuan said, "You will pay the price of life and death for today's decision!"

After hearing this, Nangong Zikuo's brows instantly furrowed, and his intuition told him that this was a conspiracy.

Hu Guangcheng also sensed the strangeness, shook the wind and thunder fan in his hand stiffly, blinked his eyes and said to the little monk: "Let's settle down the family affairs and immediately set off to worship Elder Du'e!"

After the little monk made a Buddhist salute to Nangong Zikuo and Hu Guangcheng, he wiped his tears and left.

"Fang Yuan is not a person who acts impatiently, Du Er is also a virtuous monk, these two are highly respected people in today's righteous path, although they teach each other, even if there is a slight difference of opinion, they will never lose their sense of proportion for no reason. Nangong Zikuo looked at the back of the little monk leaving with deep eyes and continued: "Fang Yuan went to investigate Fakong's whereabouts, and it is reasonable to pass by Songshan Shaolin Temple to visit Du'e, as for the sentence left when leaving, I am afraid that this is another truth." ”

When Hu Guangcheng heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Fang Yuan went to find Doom, it must be for the Xuanyuan Divine Sect. Recently, the four sects and eight sects of the Xuanyuan Divine Sect are ready to move in East Kunlun, and there have been several frontal disputes with the Daomen during this period, but they have not disturbed the Buddhism. Fang Yuan was originally one of the three sect masters of the Daomen, and he must be concerned about the safety of the Xuanyuan Sect, if he could unite the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism to resist the Xuanyuan Divine Sect, it would be possible to strangle the momentum of the Xuanyuan Divine Sect in the cradle. ”

Nangong Zikuo listened to Hu Guangcheng's words and nodded silently.

Hu Guangcheng continued: "But if you want to use the power of Buddhism, without the approval of the three Buddhist elders, I am afraid it is absolutely impossible. The Great Elder Pu Ji lives in the White Horse Temple, since the last time he suppressed the Dragon Demon, he has never seen a guest for decades, and the Third Elder Fakong is now missing, and Fang Yuan can only go to Songshan Shaolin Temple to discuss with Du Doom. But Buddhism has always avoided the world, and it is not Zen like water, there must be selfishness in it, Fang Yuan naturally understands why Buddhism does not come out of the world, it is nothing more than to wait and see its changes, and never make a bird of the head until it is absolutely necessary. But after all, Fang Yuan and Du Er are important figures in Buddhism, and they will affect the state of affairs of one party between movement and quiet, and even if they disagree, they will not be happy and angry. I'm afraid this little monk has an extraordinary background!"

After Hu Guangcheng finished speaking, he arched his hand to the shaman immortal hall behind him and said, "There is a Lao Xian family!"

As soon as the words fell, a yellow immortal turned into a streamer and rushed out of the hospital, tracking in the direction where the little monk disappeared.

Nangong Zikuo looked out the window with deep eyes, and said leisurely after a long time: "But I don't think this matter is so simple, the doom is the late cultivation of the earth spirit, except for the hidden heritage of all parties, it can be regarded as the best among my generation, otherwise it is not worthy of being the second elder of the Buddhist sect, assisting all parties in Buddhist affairs, how can such a cultivation be assassinated? Moreover, he was killed three days after Fang Yuan left, I expect that this matter is no coincidence! If the investigation is not clear, there will definitely be internal strife between the Buddhas and the Tao." ”

"If there is infighting between Buddhism and Taoism, who will profit the most?" Hu Guangcheng said this, and looked at Nangong Zikuo with deep meaning.

"Although the Xuanyuan Divine Sect hopes that the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism will collapse, after all, the Buddha and the Tao have the same origin, and they have jointly presided over justice for thousands of years. In the eyes of outsiders, the death of the doom is undoubtedly the most suspicious for Fang Yuan, but the principals of all parties in Buddhism and Taoism will definitely not be so decisive. The origin of the Xuanyuan Divine Sect Leader, Emperor Yuanzun, is unknown, he is not in the Three Realms, he does not belong to the Five Elements, and as for the purpose behind him, I don't know to you and me. The only thing worth doubting is the demon king Xiao Yonglong, after the Jinghe Dragon King was killed, the whereabouts of the nine sons are unknown since then, some people say that they have been poisoned by Zhang Tianshi, but hundreds of years later, a wisp of the remnant soul of the ninth son Xiao Yonglong suddenly appeared near the burial dragon pit, you and I The ancestors expected that the body of the little dragon must still be in the world, so they wanted to find the body through this wisp of remnant soul, but after several generations of ancestors did not find out the location of the real body of the little dragon, I never thought that the true body of the little dragon was hidden in the East Kunlun Mountain, ignored by Buddhism, it was really unexpected。 Now he was born to mix with the Emperor Yuanzun, and presided over the Xuanyuan Divine Cult, intending to break the burial dragon pit and release the dragon demon. It seems to be intended to provoke the suspicion of Buddhism, and then wait for an opportunity when Buddhism is unprepared. But since the little dragon can avoid the tracking of the Xuanmen for thousands of years, it can be seen that the depth of the city is not inferior to you and me, and he must know that the burial dragon pit is not only guarded by Nangong and the Hu family, but also guarded by a group of earth immortals. Presumably, he will not fail to understand the truth of accumulation, the time is not yet ripe, so why take the risk of doing useless work?"

Hu Guangcheng put away his previous smiling face, his short and fat body was no longer as leisurely and brisk as before, on the contrary, it was a little more heavy and vicissitudes, and he habitually shook the wind and thunder fan in his hand and said: "Yes, Du Doom was killed, the Nine Great Ming Kings of Buddhism will definitely not stop there, although Fang Yuan is a little suspicious in this matter, but as long as Fang Yuan appears, he can be freed." At this time, the object of suspicion of the nine great Ming kings of Buddhism will be transferred to the Xuanyuan Divine Sect, and there are only three people in the Xuanyuan Divine Sect who can have this ability, one is the sect leader Taihuang Yuanzun, the other is the demon king Xiao Yulong, and the other is the Five Poisons Ancestor! But no matter who it is, they all know in their hearts that if the current Xuanyuan Divine Sect wants to deal with the forces of Buddhism and Taoism, it is simply hitting a stone with an egg, and they have been enduring in the East Kunlun just to avoid its edge and accumulate strength, but how can they kill the second elder of Buddhism at this time and make a feud with Buddhism? Once Buddhism and Taoism jointly attack East Kunlun, the consequences will be a complete defeat, so the death of the doom must have nothing to do with the Xuanyuan Divine Sect, but who in this era can kill him The abbot of Shaolin Temple? Could it be... The group of lamas in the Dharani Golden Palace?"

Nangong Zikuo didn't speak when he heard this, but his hands behind his back shook involuntarily, for a long time, why the Dharani Golden Sacred Palace cut off all contact with Zen Buddhism has always been a mystery. Although the Dharani Golden Sacred Palace has severed all contact with Zen Buddhism, it has kept a secret connection with the Lingyin Temple, perhaps the key to it is related to the Lingyin Temple?
