What was originally a fierce battle has now turned into a war of attrition. Li Xiuping wanted to use the power of the explosion of those magic weapons to destroy the golden body of the statue. The statue could not inflict serious damage to Li Xiuping in a short period of time. The two sides just went back and forth, exchanging injuries for injuries.
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of nearby strong men, and soon strong men of various realms arrived one after another.
As a result, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, because no matter what the final outcome of this battle was, the situation in Tianchan Temple was obvious to all, and he would naturally be regarded as the culprit of all this, and he would not even be able to defend himself.
It is an indisputable fact that all the monks in Tianchan Temple have disappeared out of thin air. When they arrived, only Li Xiuping and a statue were fighting in Tianchan Temple. Therefore, it must be these two middlemen who caused the current situation in Tianchan Temple. one of.
Obviously, it is more likely that it is Li Xiuping, and there is an impeccable reason.
Li Xiuping brutally destroyed Tianchan Temple, and the monks of Tianchan Temple rose up to resist. However, Li Xiuping was too powerful, so he could only use the mountain guarding formation and use secret methods to invite the founder of Tianchan Temple. This led to this fighting.
With that said, how can Li Xiuping defend himself? Is it possible to tell others that it was their Buddha who destroyed Tianchan Temple himself? Although this is true, who would believe it?
This means that after this battle, he will not only have to face the demons and Kunlun Mountain, but also the entire Zen sect.
Suddenly, two of Sanshan stood against him, which was naturally not a good thing. And this is likely to be the real purpose of the statue in front of you, or the purpose from another world. Therefore, the outcome of this battle is actually not important. The real purpose is probably not to kill Li Xiuping, but to turn the entire Buddhist sect against Li Xiuping.
After all, judging from the strength displayed by this statue, it is still difficult to kill Li Xiuping. There is no reason to sacrifice the entire Tianchan Temple, just to create such an opportunity where it is not sure whether Li Xiuping can be killed.
It would be best if we could kill Li Xiuping, so that everything would end with Li Xiuping's death. However, Li Xiuping had fought against the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan before, and he still survived. Behind him were the Wine Master and the Flower Master. Immortals serve as backers, so even a strong man from another world would find it difficult to kill Li Xiuping in this world. This is something that these strong men from another world cannot fail to know.
Therefore, the other party's purpose must be to make Li Xiuping confront the entire Zen sect on the premise that the entire Tianchan Temple will not be sacrificed in vain. This should be the best explanation.
With Zen, Taoism, and demons, the three major forces are working together. No matter how much Li Xiuping is involved, no matter how powerful the two immortals are, they may not be able to bear it.
Of course, this is just Li Xiuping's own speculation. As for whether there is any bigger plan behind this, Li Xiuping can't figure it out even if he tries hard.
But no matter what the other party's purpose is, Li Xiuping has only one purpose now, which is to solve the trouble at hand and destroy the statue. In addition, he must guard against the strong ones who keep appearing. After all, at this time , it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
Now, if anyone can kill Li Xiuping, the benefits will be huge. For these strong men who want to risk their lives as soon as they see the opportunity, the temptation is not small.
In the past, they might have been afraid of Jiuxian and Guanchao Academy, but now Li Xiuping not only had a problem with Kunlun Mountain, but also offended Buddhism. Even their Buddha personally took action. Under this influence, Guanchao Academy and Guanchao Academy The intimidating power of the wine master will inevitably weaken, and naturally some people will be ready to take action.
Originally, with Li Xiuping's current strength, he didn't have to pay much attention to such a monk, but now he has to deal with such a Buddha, and he really can't distract himself from dealing with other people.
What the layman Qingming said is indeed true. Once a cultivator gets too involved with the people at the foot of the mountain, he will inevitably be involved in troubles of one kind or another. This may be what he brought about by accepting Chu Yan as his disciple. cause and effect.
If it weren't for Chu Yan's mother still being here, Li Xiuping wouldn't have stopped here on his way north this time. If Chu Yan's mother hadn't said she wanted to stay, he wouldn't have finally decided to come to Tianchan Temple to take a look. Then this situation will naturally not happen now.
Of course, this is an inevitable result and cannot be changed. It is precisely because of this that Li Xiuping admires Chu Yan's mother.
Such an ordinary person can still choose to be an ordinary person when Chu Yan becomes his apprentice. This is already very rare in itself. He can also understand that because of her existence, he will inevitably become Chu Yan. The trouble with Li Xiuping is even more complicated.
It can be said that Chu Yan's mother chose to stay, which did bring a lot of trouble to Li Xiuping for the time being, but in the long run, it was a good thing, because it made the cause and effect related to Chu Yan arrive earlier, which is also considered a good thing. Make a settlement in advance, otherwise if it continues to brew, it will only be more difficult to deal with in the future.
Just when Li Xiuping was worried about those strong men taking action, some strong men actually launched a sneak attack. If it weren't for the huge alchemy furnace that Li Xiuping had formed with flames before, and if it wasn't for the fact that the alchemy furnace had a strong connection with him, Maybe these people would actually succeed in a sneak attack.
However, even if Li Xiuping discovered it, he would resist it in time. However, the addition of these strong men made his already not very good situation even more difficult. Not only did he have to resist the suppression of Tianchan Temple's sect-protecting formation, but he also had to fight with the statue. In confrontation, now you have to be careful to guard against attacks from those strong ones.
As a result, the hope of victory that Li Xiuping had finally seen disappeared all of a sudden, and he returned to a desperate situation. However, Li Xiuping encountered countless desperate situations, and even managed to survive despite death. Now that he had escaped from the biggest desperate situation, how could this situation restrict him now?
When Li Xiuping was fighting fiercely at Tianchan Temple, thousands of miles away in the north was Lingtai Mountain.
On the back hill of Lingtai Mountain, there is a huge Bodhi tree. On the cliff next to the Bodhi tree, there is a pavilion with the words "One flower, one world" and "One leaf, one Bodhi" written on both sides.
In the pavilion, two people sat opposite each other.
There was a short and thin monk with a long white beard that reached his chest but was tied in a knot.
A man in white, with jade trees facing the wind, extremely handsome, like an immortal, there is no flaw in him at all.
The stone table between the two of them was carved with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, and the entire stone table was like a chessboard.
There are no chess pieces on the chessboard, but there is a golden alms bowl filled with water. A picture is reflected in the water, which is Tianchan Temple.
The short monk, the abbot of Wutai Mountain and one of the strongest people in the world, asked at this moment: "Are you not worried at all?"
The man in white, one of the two immortals, the Jiuxian, glanced at the alms bowl at this moment and said: "The dragon has gone out to sea, there is nothing to worry about. I didn't expect that you Buddhists have always been adhering to self-cultivation, but you can't bear your temper. What, do you from Lingtai Mountain also want to get involved?"
The short monk smiled and said: "Senior, you are joking. Although Lingtai Mountain and Tianchan Temple are both Zen sects, they are from the same sect but have different origins. Otherwise, Tianchan Temple would be far better than Xianglu Mountain in terms of heritage, but this is one of the seven holy places. , but there is no place for Tianchan Temple..."
Jiu Xian interrupted directly: "I'm not interested in those old things about your Zen sect."
The short monk smiled awkwardly and sighed: "The Buddha and the devil think about it, the Buddha and the devil think about it."
The Jiu Xian actually nodded this time and said, "Who says it's not the case? What's the difference between this move and the devil?"
He continued: "It's just that I'm afraid that kid will have to suffer some hardships in the future. After all, he has to bear all these sins alone. Verbal and written criticism are necessary. Even Confucianists may be implicated."
The short monk couldn't help but frown.
Jiuxian smiled and said: "If he can't even bear this grievance, then this kid's death was in vain. No matter what others say, he will not lose a piece of flesh. If he really wants to take action, there will be no one in the world." Several people can beat him, so what do you think I’m worried about?”
The short monk was stunned, and finally sighed helplessly.
The Jiuxian stood up and said: "Practice and practice are not just about cultivation. There is no problem with this boy's cultivation in terms of strength. After all, he has unique conditions. Even I can only envy him. But when it comes to cultivating the mind, After all, you are too young, and you still have to experience some things yourself to understand them.”
The short monk asked: "Aren't you afraid of using too much force and pushing him into the abyss? If that happens, he will be doomed."
Jiuxian asked with a smile: "Where did he come from the abyss? Are you afraid that he will fall into the devil's path because of this? You also said that Buddhism is just a thought, whether it is a devil or an immortal, it may still have meaning in this world. But it’s meaningless to the wider world.”
The short monk frowned and said, "But all the living beings in this world are so innocent!"
The wine master smiled and said: "'One flower, one world', 'One leaf, one bodhi', you guard these words all day long, how come you can't understand them? This world is a world for you and me. All living beings, in the eyes of those people, are nothing more than a leaf or a speck of dust. When that boy was thrown into this world, this place was destined to be just a training ground and an entertainment ground for that boy to play. These so-called living beings, It’s just a toy.”
The little monk looked pale.
After a while, he stood up and asked, "Senior, is he about to ascend?"
The wine master nodded, shook his head, and said: "I promised an old friend only for ten thousand years. Now that boy has emerged from the shallows, I have no excuse. But I am not in a hurry for the time being. I finally got it." It would be a pity not to watch such a big show."
The little monk said bitterly: "Senior, you are worthy of being the immortal in wine. You play in the human world. This alone is beyond our reach."
The wine master smiled and said: "No matter how good you flatter me, I can't come in vain. I still have to take what should be taken away."
The old monk's face became even more bitter, and he felt like crying without tears...
