"Something is wrong here."
Chu Xiu secretly thought that in the end, his eyes fell on Huitong.
It is obvious that Huitong must know many things.
After Wen Yi finishes speaking...
The two of them stared at Huitong with burning eyes.
Huitong said softly: "Since I came to Fozhou and met my master, Master Tianye, I have been following him in asceticism. Until the past few days, I was sent to the Daguangming Temple and became a disciple of the Buddha. This is what I was asked to do."
Chu Xiu and Wen Yi waited for a while, and when they saw Huitong stopped, they both said, "No more?"
"No more." Huitong shrugged.
"Then you look like this?" Chu Xiu frowned.
Huitong sighed and said: "The first time I did asceticism, I didn't know how to do it. I accidentally got trapped in the depths of the desert, without water or food. I sat there for more than a month."
"That's it." Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then you cut the meat and feed it to the eagle... so what?" Chu Xiu frowned even more.
Huitong's eyes moved slightly, "Master said that if you want to become a Buddha, you must first become a self; when I was trapped in the desert, a vulture was also trapped in the desert.
When I found it, it was dead of thirst.
I ate it. "
"..."
Chu Xiu and Wen Yi were both stunned.
Eating a vulture... Is this cutting off the meat to feed the vulture?
Chu Xiu glanced at Wen Yi.
Wen Yi coughed lightly and said, "There are rumors outside that you are cutting meat to feed the hawks."
"Although I used the vulture's corpse to achieve my own achievements, it is still considered a violation of Buddhist precepts." Huitong said softly, "The abbot of Daguangming Temple, Jiuci, suggested that I cut off some of my own flesh and return it to the dead vulture. .
I was still hesitating and wondering whether there was any point in cutting off my own flesh and returning it to the dead vultures, so here you are. "
"Is that all?" Wen Yi frowned. Before he came, he had imagined that Huitong in front of him might have been tortured beyond recognition, and perhaps his tongue had been pulled out by the monks here...
"Then what else can be done?" Huitong asked.
Wen Yi was silent for a while, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Do you know what it means for Brother Chu and I to come here this time?"
"My master said that Brother Chu will prevent Buddhism from returning to the Central Plains in the future." Huitong said softly, "A group of monks from Daguangming Temple imprisoned me here to attract Brother Chu.
Master said, I have no choice. No matter what my attitude is, once the news reaches the Central Plains, Chu Xiu will definitely come. "
"..."
Wen Yi was speechless.
Indeed, as long as bad news about Huitong reaches the Central Plains, both Chu Xiu and him will rush here.
Chu Xiu stared at Huitong, "You only talked about your master, but not yourself. I want to know what you think?"
"About what?" Huitong raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu said: "About me."
Huitong smiled and said, "In the past, you wouldn't have asked me this kind of question."
Chu Xiu said: "Until now, I still can't be sure whether you are still the Huitong I know."
"Oh?" Huitong raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chu Xiu said: "You act very relaxed, as if you are exactly the same as before."
"Isn't this wrong?" Huitong was surprised.
Wen Yi couldn't help but look at Chu Xiu.
Although Huitong's image has changed a lot, after the conversation, there is no difference from the past.
"You have gone through asceticism and your temperament should have become more calm." Chu Xiu said lightly, "Besides, you used to not bear the pain alone in front of me."
"Suffering the pain alone?" Wen Yi was startled and looked at Huitong again.
Huitong looked at Chu Xiu and smiled: "Isn't it calm enough to bear the pain alone?"
"That's true." Chu Xiu smiled and stared at Huitong, "Given our relationship, you must not mind me checking on your ancestral orifice spirit."
"It seems that your cultivation is progressing very quickly." Huitong said softly, "I remember that at that time, you had not yet completed the martial arts foundation building."
"To reassure me, let me see your spirit." Chu Xiu said directly, "Relax your mind and don't stop it."
Huitong closed his eyes, and there was a faint fluctuation between his eyebrows.
Chu Xiu glanced at Wen Yi.
Wen Yi nodded slightly and became more vigilant.
At this time, he needs to protect Chu Xiu!
A golden light appeared between Chu Xiu's eyebrows, and the spirit of the ancestral aperture flashed into Huitong's ancestral aperture.
In an instant.
The light emitted from Chu Xiu's ancestral orifice spirit illuminated the entire ancestral orifice space.
In front of him, there were two figures sitting cross-legged on the ground. They both stretched out their hands to block their eyes, as if they could not bear the golden light emanating from Chu Xiuling.
"Sure enough, there is something fishy." Chu Xiu snorted secretly and saw that the two figures sitting cross-legged in front of him were his old acquaintance Huitong.
Behind Huitong was the appearance of an old monk.
Chu Xiu stepped forward and stopped when he was close to Huitong.
The golden aura covering Huitong's body became softer and no longer dazzling at all.
"Good friend, how are you?" Chu Xiu sat cross-legged and looked at Huitong in front of him with a lot of emotion.
Huitong's spiritual body was a true spirit, and his appearance at this moment was exactly the same as what Chu Xiu had seen before.
Huitong looked at Chu Xiu, who was shining with golden light in front of him, with a strange look in his eyes, "Your spiritual body..."
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "Every situation I am in is very special."
Huitong nodded. This good friend in front of him was indeed as evil as ever.
Otherwise, the entire Buddhist sect would not be afraid.
"I'm under a lot of pressure when you come here." Huitong said with a wry smile.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Was it you who was talking to me outside just now, or was it the old monk behind you?"
At this moment, the old monk behind Huitong was specifically targeted by Chu Xiu. Although Huitong was blocking him, the golden light emanating from Chu Xiu still made the old monk feel extremely hot and unable to open his eyes. , unable to speak or move, could only sit still.
"This is Master Jingye." Huitong gave a brief introduction and said, "He is proficient in spiritual arts. Before you came, his true spirit had sneaked into my ancestral orifice, pretended to be you, and deceived the meaning of our conversation. process."
"Pretending to be me?" Chu Xiu was surprised.
Huitong said softly: "Buddhism has a long history, and its practice in the spirit of ancestral orifices far exceeds that of some sects in the Central Plains."
"Really?" Chu Xiu was even more surprised.
Huitong stared at Chu Xiu and chuckled: "However, I think a golden spirit like yours is not common even in Buddhism."
"It's just not common?" Chu Xiu was dissatisfied.
Huitong smiled and said, "Anyway, this is my first time seeing you."
"This is you." Chu Xiu smiled, feeling a little relieved.
He was sure that the Huitong in front of him was the real Huitong.
Huitong joked: "Perhaps I am an eminent monk pretending to be?"
"It's possible." Chu Xiu nodded, "So, what do you think of me?"
"You have confused me." Huitong said helplessly, "I know you will definitely come here, but I don't know how to help you.
My strength is not worth mentioning in front of them. "
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "I am here to help you, who said I want you to help me?
You have to remember that this time, you owe me. "
"Escape if you can." Huitong looked at Chu Xiu and said softly, "There are indeed truly enlightened monks here in Fozhou.
However, it is just a lotus growing out of the mud. "
"Let's talk about it in detail." Chu Xiu said, he needed to know more information about Florida.
Huitong hesitated and said: "When I came to Florida with my uncle Yiwu, I vaguely noticed that something was not right in Florida."
"Have you also seen the Saint?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly.
"Saint? What saint?" Huitong was startled.
Chu Xiu was also stunned and said hesitantly: "You and Master Yiwu didn't notice anything unusual when you passed by other temples?"
"I found it." Huitong nodded slightly, "The monks in most temples in Florida don't look like monks. They are more like... monk soldiers."
"Monk Soldiers..." Chu Xiu thought for a while. Some of the temples he passed by, the monks in the temples were indeed much more powerful than ordinary people.
"No, I mean the saint, I almost fooled you." Chu Xiu glared at Huitong.
Huitong looked puzzled, "What saint?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "Basically, every temple in Florida has a saint. The duty of the saint is to continue the descendants of Buddhist disciples."
Huitong looked at Chu Xiu blankly, his brows gradually furrowed, "You... saw it with your own eyes?"
"Didn't you see it?" Chu Xiu also frowned.
Huitong shook his head and said softly: "I only think that the monks in the temple have no real intention to worship the Buddha, as if they live in the temple because they are monks.
I have indeed never seen the saint girl, and this is the first time I have heard of it. "
"This is surprising." Chu Xiu recalled the scene of the battle he had seen before, still vivid in his mind. He thought for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his right hand. Wisps of golden light, like silk threads, wrapped around the body behind Huitong. The old monk is really spiritual.
"You wait a moment, I'll ask Wen Yi, he's here too."
With that said, Chu Xiu's spiritual body instantly turned into a stream of light and left Huitong's ancestral orifice.
Huitong looked back at the trapped Master Jingye and said softly: "Why wait."
As he spoke, his consciousness returned directly to his body.
Babel Tower, in the main hall on the first floor.
Chu Xiu and Huitong looked at Wen Yi together.
"Brother Wen, after we entered Florida, we met the Buddhist saint, right?" Chu Xiu stared at Wen Yi with burning eyes.
Huitong frowned slightly. He was thinking about it and was sure that he had never heard of the 'Buddhist Saint', let alone met him.
Even in Florida, he had never seen a woman.
"Buddhist saint..." Wen Yi whispered, lost in thought.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Wen Yi, thinking to himself, do you still need to think about this?
That scene is vivid in my mind.
I've seen it once, how could I forget it again?
Especially for a junior brother like Wen Yi...
"I feel like I should have this impression, but for a moment, I can't remember it." Wen Yi frowned. He was trying to remember, but he couldn't remember what this Buddhist saint was.
Hearing this, Chu Xiu's face changed slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Suddenly, he felt as if someone was staring at him from behind.
Inexplicable horror!
