Chapter 317

Because the moonlight was really hazy, it was difficult to see the face of the white robed monk opposite from the fire. I just vaguely felt that this man should be no longer young. Listening to his voice, there was a kind of vicissitudes that young people would never have. The fear of leaving the fire is that they are very close to the boat, but if the monk doesn't want to show up, he must not be aware of this man.

"That man was you just now?!"

He asked subconsciously.

The white robed monk slowly shook his head: "no, that man's cultivation is very special, so I don't dare to get too close. It's impolite to disturb others. The Ming king said, don't do to others what you don't want. I hate others disturbing my purity, so naturally I won't disturb others' purity."

"Are you really a Buddhist?"

Lu minglan asked with a trembling voice.

This is the first time she has seen people of Buddhism. Jianghu guests in the Sui Dynasty are hostile to people of Buddhism. This is an innate feeling, because the big wheel Temple of Buddhism is in Mengyuan. However, it is undeniable that it is precisely because Buddhists rarely set foot in the central plains that Jianghu people in the Sui Dynasty are very strange to them. Because they are strange, it is inevitable that they will have some fear in addition to hostility.

Outside the Sui Dynasty, most countries believed in Buddhism.

Many people say that Buddhists are omnipotent. It is said that there are countless Buddhists in Buddhism, with all kinds of magical methods and ten thousand kinds of magical powers. It is said that the great wheel Ming king of the Buddha sect is a man like God and has the ability to destroy the sky and the earth. Many people in the Sui Dynasty have heard of these legends.

"Yes"

The white robed monk opposite nodded and said: "I came from the Far West and crossed countless mountains and rivers before I arrived at Chang'an. Before I entered the city, I heard that the person I was looking for had left, so I chased him again. I went to the ferry to find a boat, but no one would go out because it was dark. So I walked all the way and just met your boat. So... Please give me your convenience. Ming Wang It is said that if all people in the world practice good thoughts, the world will be peaceful. All people in the world have good thoughts, but they are reluctant to give to others. Therefore, the world is not peaceful, so there is a Buddha sect. "

His voice was slightly hoarse, but every word was clear: "Buddhists and Taoists are good, and they also look for the good of others. Today, if you are willing to give me a ride, it will be a great good thing. The Ming king said that good and evil will be rewarded. If you do good things, there will be good causes, and there will be good rewards."

"No!"

He just finished this sentence, and Lihuo shook his head firmly.

"If you were in a place other than smashing, these beautiful words you said may deceive many people. But you can't deceive me. My brother traveled to the West more than ten years ago... When it comes to traveling to the west, do you know?"

Raise the mandibular canal from the fire: "Of course, whether you know it or not, we won't give you any good cause today. It's disrespectful for a Buddhist to dare to step into the territory of our great Sui Dynasty. Naturally, we Sui people won't stick a hot face to disrespectful people. There is no difference between Meng Yuan and the great Sui Dynasty, and there is no difference between your Buddhist sect and our Wulin in the Central Plains. There is no chance between us Cross the river in the same boat. "

Hearing this, the white robed monk seemed to be slightly stunned.

"I know..."

He suddenly sighed, shook his head slightly and said, "when many demons of the Buddha sect went west, they wanted to provoke the majesty of the Ming king, and they were subdued by the king's anger. At that time, I also listened to orders under the throne of the Ming Dynasty and took action to suppress demons and heretics. This is the cause and effect. How can I say it's not cause and effect when I meet my old friend's brother again today?"

"However, you did not go west and violated our Buddhism, so you have no evil consequences. If you do good today, you will still have good consequences."

"Good you - Mom - you're a - force!"

The hot tempered Li Sanxing couldn't bear to scold: "who doesn't know the hypocrisy of your Buddhism? What if you can spit lotus? In the final analysis, it's not a group of demons and monsters! I know your cultivation is good, otherwise it's impossible to sneak into the land of the great Sui Dynasty. But as a Sui people, even if you know it's not your opponent, you will never watch you rampant in the great Sui Dynasty!"

The white robed Taoist sighed, "how do you know that you and I are not for the same person and the same thing?"

Hearing this sentence, others looked at Lihuo one after another. Lu minglan couldn't help pulling Lihuo's sleeve and motioned with her eyes not to conflict easily. Lihuo gently broke away from her hand, took a deep breath and took a step forward.

"These are two different things."

He looked at the white robed monk and said, "even if you and I have the same purpose, you and I will never be compatible. I have what I want to do and kill people, but it's my business and has nothing to do with you. You have what you want to do and people you want to kill, but it has nothing to do with me!"

He slowly raised his hand and pulled out the long sword in his hand: "because this is the great Sui Dynasty, no one from the Buddha sect is allowed to appear. Even if you want to kill someone I must kill, it's not up to you to do it. Sui people can die at the hands of Sui people, but not at the hands of the Buddha sect. This is a principle, no doubt."

The white robed monk couldn't help sighing: "if there is a good way to do it, why do you have to plant evil consequences? The thoughts of the Sui people are really different from those of normal people. The Ming king said that the Sui people are demons without fear, which is not surprising."

"We have!"

Step forward from the fire, every step is firm.

"What we fear... Is the belief that the territory of the great Sui Dynasty will never be desecrated by outsiders!"

……

……

Fang Xie leaned against the side of the ship and smelled the river wind with a slightly fishy smell. His eyes were a little erratic. He knew that the feeling of bathing his waist would not go wrong, and he could probably guess who those people were among the trees on the north bank. After the death of the wonderful monk chenya, his pursuers have disappeared. Few others want to kill after Prince Yi's fall have the courage. Now, nine times out of ten, it's for him to see Luo Yao in the southwest.

Apart from Su Buwei, Fang Xie really can't think of anyone else.

After killing Lu ou, he determined that the emperor had sent others to follow him, just to monitor what he did and said in the southwest. This does not mean how much the emperor valued him. In fact, it represents how much the emperor valued Luo Yao.

Now the great Sui Dynasty looks as stable as a mountain on the surface. The people are happy to say that the emperor smashed the rebellion plot of Prince Yi and removed a curse for the great Sui Dynasty. But who doesn't feel uneasy when they really come into contact with people at that level? Even people like Huai Qiugong will say that they want to enjoy peace for a few years. You can think about the state of mind of the officials in the imperial court.

No one who can reach this level is a fool. They naturally understand how much damage Prince Yi's fall will do to Da Sui. The more than 30000 heads cut off made the people applaud, but what about the Emperor himself? I'm afraid I can't sleep with pain. The imperial court can't recover for a while, and the northwest is still in chaos... If Luo Yao turns against him again, half of the western part of the Sui Dynasty will be completely in chaos.

700000 elite soldiers were lost in the northwest. The emperor wanted to march to the west again. If he led the troops himself, millions of people would be mobilized. If the battle is decided quickly, it's better to say that if it is delayed, it will be equivalent to digging the foundation of the great Sui Dynasty. Fang Xie did not understand why a wise man like the emperor was so paranoid about the northwest.

He knew that the strength of the great Sui Dynasty could not cause a real blow to Mengyuan. Why did he insist on sending troops? Even if he wants to remain famous in history, he must first consider the stability of the national base of the great Sui Dynasty. Once the northwest is defeated again... The world of the great Sui Dynasty will be shaken immediately.

What is the reason why the emperor can't wait to finish his dream?

Thinking about these things all the time, Fang Xie's eyebrows frowned more and more tightly.

At this time, Shen Qing fan and Mu Xiaoyao looked in the same direction almost at the same time. Chen hum and Chen ha, who sat on the deck playing with scissors, stone and cloth, also stopped and looked over there.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Someone is fighting over there."

Chen hum jumped up with joy on his face: "Xiaofang, there must be someone fighting over there, and he must still be a good fighter... Let's go and see if it's OK. Xiaoha and I haven't fought for a long time."

"I'll go too, I'll go too!"

Chen ha also jumped up and was as happy as a child.

"Something should have happened to those who withdrew before!"

Mu Xiaoyao said in a deep voice, "I just sensed that those people have retreated, but the vitality of heaven and earth over there has changed dramatically. There must be an expert in the duel. The vitality of heaven and earth has such a strong reaction... People have good cultivation."

Shen qingfan said two words in a very light tone: "very strong"

"Let's go and have a look."

Fang Xie said, "Yan Kuang followed us. Chen Xiaoru, Nie Xiaoju, Chen hum and Chen ha stayed on board."

Chen hum, Chen ha immediately shouted discontentedly, "no, no, Xiao Fang will take us together! What if someone wants to beat you? No one wants to bully you with us!"

The two of them grabbed one of Fang Xie's arms and began to shake. Fang Xie really couldn't stand it. Then he said, "let's get all the flying fish robes on guard. Let's go and have a look, but you two don't mess around!"

"We'll fly you over!"

Chen hum and Chen Hali burst into laughter, and the two jumped off the ship with Fang Xie. Then he landed on the water, and took a few steps on the water and jumped to the shore. Behind them, Shen qingfan bathed his small waist and Yan Kuang followed closely.

A mile or so away, at their speed, it didn't take long to rush past. Chen hum and Chen ha put down the solution, looked around and shook their heads in disappointment: "it's finished? It's so fast."

Chen hum walked forward a few steps, squatted down and looked at a corpse on the ground: "this is a hole poked in his forehead by a finger. It's like a fart eye on his forehead. It's really fun."

Chen ha ran to another corpse and looked at it. Then he said with a smile, "this one, too, has a fart eye! Eh... Why does this person with a fart eye on his head seem to have seen it?"

Fang Xie's eyes stayed on the dead bodies for a while, and then walked quickly to the shore. He lit the fire, found traces of cooking, and then found two more bodies by an iron pot. Look, the costumes should be ordinary people, a man and a woman.

"Over there."

The sinking fan pointed to the river and saw a small boat quickly across the water and soon disappeared into the moonlight.

"Ah!"

When Yan Kuang saw the dead body, his face immediately changed: "it's them..."

"Who?"

Fang Xie turned to look at him and asked.

Yan Kuang was silent for a while, but he still told the truth: "it's the dark bodyguard, the men of Duke su... They were the ones who wanted to kill Chen hum and Chen HA in Luocheng yesterday. This man's name is Lihuo, and he is Linan's brother. Adults should remember that Linan once fought with the Buddha's heavenly wisdom."

Fang Xie knows the name and the man.

"Oh! I remember!"

Not far away, Chen hum exclaimed, "this is the man who sells fish steamed stuffed bun. How could he die here? Was he bitten by a fish? It's too scary..."

"One is missing!"

Yan Kuang said, "Lu minglan is not here."

"There were two people on board just now..."

Mu Xiaoyao said, "one of them I can't perceive cultivation, and the other is a woman, eight grades."
