Chapter 140 "Paradise"
Meng Qi's mouth twitched, and there was only one thought in his mind, it's none of my business!
But he didn't dare to neglect it, because the girl's demonic aura was quite scary, and what was even more terrifying was that although the old servant named "Wen Bo" had a weak demonic aura, he gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, no less than Yuan Mengzhi and An Guoxie, or even more!
Meng Qi raised the Red Sun Demon-Suppressing Knife in his right hand, his mind was calm, and the most skilled and deepest "Duan Qingjing" knife was restrained, ready to go.
At the same time, watching the girl in white clothes raising a few fluffy red tails behind her, not adding to the hideousness, but showing a different kind of temptation, Meng Qi inexplicably flashed a thought, it was indeed a fox.
However, this little fox seemed a bit "pedantic". Just now, he dissuaded Wen Bo from "eating people" with "the way of being a guest", and now he shouted out the reason for the action loudly, with the meaning of killing without teaching, to show that he was open and aboveboard and upright.
A little fox with a lot of personality...
Gu Changqing drew his sword, and his body trembled uncontrollably under the pressure of the demonic energy. Zhenhui smiled, holding a flower in his right hand, and was calm and peaceful. It was not affected much. However, although he had successfully broken through to the great success of Qi Accumulation during this period of time, his strength was of no help in the current fight.
The five fiery red tails behind the white-clothed girl fluttered gently, and her white jade-like hands reached out, her body was like a phantom, and her nails were like swords. Wen Bo took only one step and stepped in front of her. He slapped his right palm, and the black wind rolled up. The faces of the wronged souls appeared one by one. They did not have a trace of pain or resistance, but instead rushed towards Meng Qi and others with excitement, excitement and joy.
Appointment of the tiger? Is this a tiger demon?
Just as Meng Qi was about to strike out with the "Broken Purity", a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The young and mysterious monk Hong Neng stood between the two. He put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice: "Amitabha, the poison of anger has entered my body and I will never recover. Please stop and let me help you."
He came over very quickly, and Meng Qi had to take a step to the side and prepare to strike out again, otherwise he would have cut him directly. However, Wen Bo and the little fox had no intention of stopping. They hit Hong Neng directly, one in front and one behind, either slapping or grabbing.
"If I attain Bodhi, I will calm the disputes in the world, and sentient beings will no longer suffer from the pain of the sea of suffering, and will all transcend the other shore...
In this ethereal voice, Meng Qi's eyes widened, and his right hand, which was ready to draw the knife, froze on the handle, because those minions penetrated Hongneng and pounced directly on the Buddha statue, but gained nothing, because Wen Bo's right hand, the little fox's claw, hit Hongneng like hitting a dream bubble, and passed through without any hindrance!
And Hongneng did not disappear like a phantom, but kept reciting the scriptures in a low voice. Regardless of vision, hearing, and feeling, he was Living people!
It was not until this moment that Meng Qi found that his own state was also quite strange. He had a strange feeling that he seemed to be in this world but not in this world. The world was so harmonious that he seemed to have become a part of their operation.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Gu Changqing and Zhenhui. They had blank expressions and seemed to have similar realizations.
The little fox retracted her claws blankly and looked at Hongneng in confusion. Wen Bo was shocked and suspicious. He protected her behind him and did not dare to do anything. Zhenguan was even more stunned. He wanted to help the demon clan, but he even forgot to get up.
"You, you, you!" The little fox seemed to remember something and pointed at Hongneng stutteringly, "A world away, a world away, you are a world away! "
A world away from the horizon? Meng Qi looked at Hong Neng in astonishment. Could he be the descendant of the mysterious Lan Ke Temple? A world away from the horizon, a world away from the horizon?
Hong Neng looked at the little fox calmly: "Amitabha, if there is no fate, a world away from the horizon, please let go of the killing thoughts in your heart."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what mystery you are showing off? A world away from the horizon is not a great secret!" The little fox pouted and said angrily, but she didn't do it again, because once "a world away from the horizon", she would not be able to hurt Hong Neng and the people around him, unless there was a great demon at the peak of the external scene or the Dharma body level forcibly interfering with the operation of heaven and earth.
Hong Neng didn't show any anger, and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's not a great secret."
The little fox became more and more angry: "A guy who says one thing and means another! Don't think I'm just talking casually, humph, if you want to deal with me, can I kill you accordingly? "
Uh, does this shocking "close yet far away" have to rely on not having murderous thoughts and anger? Meng Qi held the hilt of the knife and thought thoughtfully, this is exactly the opposite of breaking the pure and falling into the world of mortals.
"Amitabha, I will not deal with the donor, I will only recite scriptures for the donor to dispel the murderous intention in the donor's heart." Hongneng's smile was extraordinary and indifferent.
"Humph, I have to think about how to become a predestined person? "The little fox sat aside in a huff, and Wenbo also retreated.
Hongneng turned around and motioned Mengqi and others to return to their seats. He sat cross-legged on the spot and recited the Diamond Sutra: "Thus I have heard..."
The sound of the sutra was calm and distant, echoing in the small temple, dissolving the murderous intent and dispelling the resentment.
Seeing this, Mengqi also sheathed his knife and calmed down. Wenbo was in great danger. If he could avoid risking his life, who would be willing to risk his life?
After an unknown amount of time, the sandstorm outside gradually subsided.
"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning, and should be viewed in this way..." Hongneng's chanting seemed to turn the entire small temple into a peaceful and pure land.
The little fox had been plugging her ears. When she saw the doomsday scene outside disappear, she stood up with a cry, paced her feet, and said naively: "Don't listen to your nagging, monk. It's annoying. It's like one, one hundred, no, five hundred mosquitoes and flies!"
After that, she walked out of the temple angrily, and Wen Bo followed closely behind her. But when she left, she looked back and looked at Meng Qi deeply, which made Meng Qi's scalp numb.
Zhen Guan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after her.
"Amitabha, I was kind-hearted for a while, and I made my junior brother more distressed." Hongneng smiled at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi shook his head: "If there is a fate, we will meet eventually. If it were me, I would also lend a hand to those who are lost."
This is a dog-blooded fate, and it's not my own! Meng Qi complained in his heart.
Hongneng looked pleased: "Junior Brother Zhending has a kind heart, and he will surely be able to attain the path of Bodhisattva in the future."
"Brother Hongneng, are you the descendant of Lanke Temple?" Meng Qi suppressed his worry about Wen Bo and asked directly.
Hongneng nodded honestly: "Since we meet, it is fate, and Lanke Temple is not a place that cannot be mentioned."
He acquiesced.
"Brother Hongneng, the distance just now was so mysterious, could this be the reason why Lanke Temple is mysterious?" Zhenhui asked with excitement and curiosity.
Good boy! Meng Qi secretly praised him. There are some questions that he, a mature person, is embarrassed to ask, but with the little brother around, he will ask questions automatically and consciously, and he only needs to smile and wait for the answer.
Hongneng said calmly: "Lankuo Temple is not mysterious, but it is on another path of transcendence. If you are destined, you will know it in the future."
Meng Qi heard that he was unwilling to reveal more for the time being, nodded gently, and stopped asking, but in his heart he was guessing what kind of transcendence method Lanke Temple had taken.
Shinto? But they don't spread incense widely... The way of merit? The way of great aspiration? This is somewhat possible. Hongneng just said that he made a great wish in front of the Buddha and built a Buddhist temple in a barren land to gain merit, but the way of merit and great aspiration cannot have the mystery of "close at hand and far away from the world". It shouldn't be like this that all things are invulnerable...
Meng Qi suddenly felt that he knew very little about Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures, and was completely a fake monk. If not, perhaps he could see the roots of the mysterious path of Lanke Temple from the Buddhist scriptures.
After a moment of silence, Gu Changqing suddenly frowned and said, "These two monsters should be monsters from the dangerous place of Tanhan. If we go to Tanhan again, it will be extremely dangerous."
This is exactly what Meng Qi was worried about just now: "It's not just dangerous to go to Tanhan. I suspect that no matter where we go after leaving the temple, it won't take long for us to 'meet' Wen Bo and the little fox."
The inexplicable will of the demon saint! Meng Qi was very resentful, but there was nothing he could do. It was said to be a will, so could he vent his anger on the dead?
This is really the cause and effect of countless lives falling on me... Meng Qi just had this thought, and suddenly thought of the last move of Ananda's sword technique, which is also the most powerful one, "sticky cause and effect"! According to the description of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, this is an "unsolvable" sword, mysterious and mysterious. Except for forcibly resolving it with a much higher realm or having a corresponding special method of defense, otherwise, once the sword is slashed, the enemy's cause and effect will be cut off, and there will be no one who will not die. This is the embodiment of the Buddhist cause and effect theory in martial arts.
However, after the enemy dies, the person who slashed out with this knife will be attached to the opponent's greatest cause and effect. If it is not resolved or eliminated, when the cause and effect explodes, he will die without a burial place!
"I have no idea about this knife, but it is inexplicably attached to this cause and effect..." Meng Qi was quite helpless.
Hearing the conversation between his senior brother and Brother Gu, Zhenhui said quickly: "Wen Bo seems to be a half-step exterior."
Yes... This is Meng Qi's biggest headache. Does he have to wait in the Buddhist temple until the thunderstorm appears or the master and elders come? But this is a Gobi desert, not a large oasis. The former may not appear in a few years, and the latter, he will undoubtedly be "caught back" to Shaolin.
Hong Neng chanted a Buddhist name and said, "The cause and effect that I caused will naturally be resolved by me. Junior Brother Zhending, I will send you to Tanhan Oasis. Now is not the time when monsters are in chaos. The monsters of 'Tianhaiyuan' will not rashly attack human cities if they don't want to be besieged by the major martial arts sects."
"Thank you, senior brother." Meng Qi said honestly and bluntly, and looked at Hong Neng in confusion, "Tianhaiyuan?"
"After the monsters in chaos, the human emperor suppressed the world, and the evil spirits retreated. Since then, they have hidden in various secret realms and called themselves 'paradise'. Therefore, there are places where monsters gather, such as 'Tianhaiyuan', 'Yaoshengyuan', 'Jiudongyuan', 'Qitianyuan', etc. Among them, 'Tianhaiyuan' is dominated by the nine-tailed monster fox clan. It is located in the dangerous land of Tanhan and is a movable secret realm." Hong Neng knew this very well. After all, he was a disciple who went down the mountain to travel normally.
Meng Qi nodded with more experience: "Brother, shall we set off now?"
With the world within reach, we are not afraid of monsters.
"Okay." Hong Neng pinched the rosary and slowly stood up.
