Jing France, Shuangjian Temple.
The towering green pines are like a canopy, and the ancient temple looks vast.
When Yan Jing and the others returned to Shuangjian Temple, Master Xianzheng, the abbot of Shuangjian Temple who destroyed the entire Diguang Cave, had already returned to the temple with the monks.
The scale of Shuangjian Temple is not small. The presiding master Xianzheng is Jinxian Daoxing, and its three elders are also Taiyi Xuanxian.
And the owner of the Diguang Cave was only a Xuanxian Taoist. The reason why Shuangjian Temple was so vigorous was that it wanted to eradicate it completely, and the second was to show the power of Shuangjian Temple.
For the mortals of Jing France, nothing is more exciting than seeing a group of masters and monks slay demons themselves.
Mortals don't know anything about the Battle of Banjie Mountain, nor do they know anything about Xitian Mansion, Buddhism, or the Monster Clan. They only know that the eminent monks of Shuangjian Temple dispatched the entire temple to destroy the monsters, and that's enough.
"Greetings to the Master." Yan Jing and the other six entered the main hall and bowed to Master Xianzheng.
But before Yan Jing could report, Master Xianzheng asked, "Will you be successful in chasing down those three monsters?"
Yan Jing quickly bowed and said, "Please preside over the punishment. Those three demon cultivators fled to Shiqiu Mountain and were protected by the Earth God of Shiqiu. We failed to kill them."
Hearing Yan Jing's words, an elder on the side asked: "The land god protects the demon cultivator? Didn't you say that you were following the order of Xitian Mansion to get rid of the demons?"
"Return to the elders, we talked about it." Yan Jingzhen said: "But the Shiqiu Earth God said that the order was only valid before the battle of Banjie Mountain, and insisted on protecting the three demons. The disciples were originally prepared to stay there, waiting The three demons killed them when they left the Earth Temple, but they never thought that Master Hongqing of Xitian Mansion had issued a talisman."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Master Xianzheng, who had a gloomy expression, immediately asked, "What kind of talisman is it?"
Yan Jing reported the contents of the talisman edict truthfully. Master Xianzheng and the other three elders fell silent after listening.
"I didn't expect it." An elder said in a solemn voice: "Xitian Mansion responded so quickly."
Just as the elder finished speaking, another elder suddenly said: "So, will Xitian Mansion soon ban demon extermination?"
After hearing what this elder said, Master Xianzheng and the other two elders also changed their expressions slightly, "It is possible."
"We must kill all the demon cultivators in our Shuangjian Temple before the edict from the Xitian Mansion comes down." Another elder said.
Master Xianzheng nodded slightly. He knew what these elders were worried about.
Once this kind of eradication thing is started, it must be carried out to the end, otherwise it will be enough for them to bear in the future if they give up halfway and leave a pile of causal hatred.
Especially if those demon cultivators are not completely eliminated this time, then these demon cultivators will most likely take refuge in Xitian Mansion, and then Xitian Mansion will be able to use these demon cultivators to deal with them.
Master Xianzheng immediately stood up and said: "Quickly gather all the monks. The poor monk and the three elders will be divided into four groups. We must destroy all the demon cultivators in the Shuangjian Temple area."
Master Xianzheng had no time to deal with Yan Jing and others, so he immediately said to the six of them: "Please come with me to eliminate the evildoers."
"Follow the law and decree." Yan Jing and the other six responded in unison.
But as soon as they finished speaking, a divine voice came from outside Shuangjian Temple, "I am Xitian Mansion who captured and killed General Tang Yu. Where is the Master of Shuangjian Temple? Come out and see me at once."
Hearing this voice, everyone in the hall changed their expressions, and Master Xianzheng even realized that something was wrong.
"No, it's a step too late after all." Master Xianzheng stood there blankly and said in a deep voice.
At this time, an elder said: "The abbot does not need to go out to see him. We will go out to meet him. We can just say that the abbot is not in the temple."
Another elder heard the words and said: "It makes sense. If the abbot is not in the temple, no matter what edicts he delivers, we will use the excuse that the abbot is not here and we dare not make the decision without authorization. We can at least buy two or three days."
After hearing this suggestion, Master Xianzheng also thought it was a good idea, so he nodded and said: "Okay, let's do this."
After saying this, Master Xianzheng's whole body flashed with golden light, and he instantly disappeared into the formation in the Main Hall.
Then the three elders looked at each other and immediately led the monks in the hall out of the Main Hall.
When Elder Sanwei led the monks to the outside of the Main Hall, they saw the divine light shining in front of them. Tangyu was wearing a plain jade gown, a jade belt around her waist, a green scarf to tie her hair, with red lips and white teeth, jade eyebrows and bright eyes. She stood with her hands behind her hands in the Main Hall. On top of the nine-foot-tall incense burner in front, there is a majestic and extraordinary posture.
The three elders hesitated for a moment, then flew forward one after another, clasped their hands and bowed to Tangyu: "The elders of Shuangjian Temple are Xianming (Xianguang, Xianbei), and they have seen generals captured and killed."
Tang Yu bowed her head in return, then glanced at the three elders and asked, "Where is the abbot of Shuangjian Temple?"
The wise elder immediately stepped forward and said: "To capture and kill General Rong Zhen, the senior brother in charge is away on business and not in the temple."
Tang Yu asked: "When can I come back?"
The wise elder said: "The return date is uncertain, it may be three to five days, or it may be ten days."
Tang Yu nodded and said: "Since the host is not here, the three of you are the elders of Shuangjian Temple, so I will pass on the decree of Xitian Mansion to you and others."
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Xian Ming and the other three immediately understood that it was a decree from Xitian Mansion prohibiting the destruction of demons.
The three of them looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Capture and kill the general, the abbot is not here. We dare not overstep our authority. Please capture and kill the general and return to Xitian Mansion first, and wait for the abbot to return to the temple before passing on the decree."
Tang Yu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he looked at the three of them and said, "Are you afraid to accept the decree? Or do you not want to accept the decree?"
"We really don't dare to act out of line, so please forgive me, General Capture and Kill." The three wise men said in unison again.
Tang Yu smiled faintly and said, "Okay, you don't have to accept it."
The Xianming trio immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to thank him, they saw Tang Yu suddenly unfold the decree in his hand and said loudly to all the monks present: "Xitianfu Shangshu Hongqing's decree, from the date of the decree, No one is allowed to kill the Xiniu Hezhou demon cultivator without authorization for any reason. If it is found that a demon cultivator has committed crimes against nature and harming living beings, he shall be escorted to the Chenghuang Temple in each prefecture for punishment. No harm is allowed without authorization. Heavenly laws are strict and the law will not tolerate mercy. Anyone who violates this order will be punished. Punish without mercy!"
After speaking, Tang Yu held the decree in his hand and said to the three elders and the monks: "Did you all hear it? This is the decree of Master Hongqing, the Minister of the West Heaven Mansion. From now on, you must abide by it and execute it without any mistakes."
"Capture and kill the general!" As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, Elder Xianguang immediately said: "Capture and kill the general. The master is not in the temple. Please forgive me for not being able to accept this decree."
Tang Yu looked at Elder Xianguang and said calmly: "Whether you accept it or not, I have read it in public and you must execute it."
"We are responsible for carrying out the decree of Xitian Mansion, but we must wait until the master returns to the temple to receive the decree. Please forgive me, General Capture and Kill." Elder Xianbei also said at this moment.
Tang Yu's eyes darkened and he said: "This has nothing to do with whether you preside over the decree or not. From now on, you cannot kill demon cultivators without permission. This is the most important thing."
Hearing this, Elder Xianguang immediately said: "It's wrong to catch and kill the general. Monsters are causing trouble in the world and harming living beings. It is our duty as cultivators to subjugate and eliminate demons. Even the Xitian Mansion has no right to prohibit it." Shall I wait for the cultivators to do justice for heaven?"
After hearing this, Tang Yu immediately put away the decree, then stared at Elder Xianguang and asked, "What do you mean, you will neither accept the decree nor obey it?"
Elder Xianguang said: "Of course I have to accept the order. I just need to wait for the abbot brother to come back. However, this prohibits the extermination of evildoers. The poor monk does not agree with it. We, the practitioners, are also for the purpose of destroying evildoers and eradicating evildoers. It is not for the sake of the common people in the world, so why should Master Hongqing ban it?"
After finishing speaking, Elder Xianguang saluted with his eleventh salute, and then said: "The poor monk is really puzzled."
"If you don't understand, then don't understand." Tang Yu said coldly, and then a killing intent instantly enveloped Elder Xianguang.
Elder Xianguang was startled at first, and then suddenly turned pale with fright. But just a moment later, he saw a flash of sword light, and then he felt a spin. Why did the surrounding scenery start to spin? And there was a bloody light, and the monks even exclaimed in his ears, "What happened?" This was the last thought in Elder Xianguang's mind, and then he fell into permanent darkness, and his head also It fell to the ground with a clatter.
Elder Xianguang's bloody corpse swayed in the air for a long time, and finally fell into the clouds, falling to the ground with a piece of blood and a cloud of dust.
"Junior Brother Xianguang!"
"Senior Brother Xianguang!"
Elder Xianming and Elder Xianbei exclaimed, Elder Xianming immediately flew down, while Elder Xianbei looked at Tangyu with a look of shock and anger: "How dare you kill me, the elder of Shuangjian Temple!"
But as soon as Elder Xianbei finished speaking, a sword beam struck directly at him, and Elder Xianbei was immediately horrified.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly flew out from the Main Hall. It was Master Xianzheng, the host of Shuangjian Temple.
I saw Master Xianzheng holding a vajra to block Tangyu's sword that was aimed at Elder Xianbei. But before he could speak, he heard a scream from behind him, and saw another explosion suddenly exploded behind him. A flash of sword light instantly killed Elder Xianbei.
Elder Xianbei's blood was flowing everywhere, and his body instantly fell to the mortal world. His blood even splashed on Master Xianzheng's body.
"My sword has two handles." Tangyu held the Taorui Double Clear Sword in both hands and said to Master Xianzheng with cold eyes: "Which elder are you? Don't tell me that you are Shuangjian The abbot of the temple.”
Master Xianzheng was shocked and angry at the moment. He suppressed the anger in his heart, then looked at Tang Yuhan and said, "The poor monk is the abbot of Shuangjian Temple."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A gust of breeze blew his clothes. When Tangyu heard this, he immediately raised his head and laughed. Then he pointed the sword in his right hand at Master Xianzheng and said: "So, you didn't go out to do business at all. You just wanted to hide it and use it as an excuse." Do you think you can deceive me with such a poor excuse for not accepting the decree from the West Heaven Mansion?"
At this point, Tang Yu's sword turned and the tip pointed at Master Xianzheng's eyebrows and said: "It seems that only the sword can make you understand a truth: the Minister of Xitian Mansion controls all the power in Xiniu Hezhou, and Master Hongqing allows you to Only you can do what he has done. None of you are allowed to do what he does not allow you to do without permission. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"
