"Xiong Qi, the little demon, pays homage to my loving father, Master Hongqing, and wishes my loving father endless happiness and longevity, and countless calamities."
In the Hongde Hall, Xiong Qi kowtowed directly to Fang Jian, his whole body trembling with excitement and his expression extremely respectful.
Fang Jian, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Tang Yu who was beside him. Tang Yu pursed her lips and smiled, touched her nose and then lowered her head.
Huo Xunyan on the side knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head or speak.
In the past, when he met the masters and monks of the Dainichi Sect, the pressure they exerted on him was even stronger.
But there was no such oppressive force in the hall in front of him, but there was an extremely pure and profound majesty. Huo Xunyan felt that under this majesty, all evil had no escape, and even the slightest evil thought in his heart could not escape under this majesty. rising.
"Do you have a grievance to redress?" Fang Jian's eyes fell on Huo Xunyan and he said in a majestic tone.
Xiong Qi immediately bowed and said, "Reporting to my loving father, Master Hongqing, we do have a grievance to redress, and we ask your loving father to make the decision for us."
Fang Jian said: "What grievances do you have? Feel free to complain."
Xiong Qi bowed his head and said: "To my loving father, Master Hongqing, we are going to sue the Great Sun Sect. In the name of destroying demons, they wantonly hunted down good demon cultivators like us and used our souls and bodies to refine the Dharma." Weapons, for many years, I, the Xiniu Hezhou demon cultivator, have suffered greatly from it, and the magical weapons used by the disciples of the major Buddhist temples of the Great Sun Sect are all refined with countless fellow demon clansmen."
"They don't even spare mortals! Some mortals who disobey them or make mistakes will be labeled as 'demon' by them, and then they will kill them and take their skin, bones and other body parts to refine magic. The weapons are used by low-level disciples, and the parents of the mortal next to the little demon were harmed by them." Xiong Qi pointed at Huo Xunyan beside him and said.
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately asked Huo Xunyan, "What's your name?"
Huo Xunyan fell to the ground and didn't react for a moment when he heard Fang Jian's words. At this time, Xiong Qi reached out and stabbed Huo Xunyan twice and said, "Master Hongqing is asking you something."
"Ah?!" Huo Xunyan was suddenly startled, and then quickly raised his head and inadvertently looked at Fang Jian who was above him.
At this glance, Huo Xunyan felt a vast and bright majesty shrouding him, making him frightened and at the same time feeling a strong sense of security in his heart.
"Yes." Huo Xunyan responded hurriedly.
Xiong Qi's breath was stagnant and he looked at Huo Xunyan with a look of astonishment. At this time, Tang Yu, who was ranked first in the West Tianfu Heavenly General below, smiled and said to Huo Xunyan: "Master Shangshu asked you what your name is."
Huo Xunyan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, "My name is Huo Xunyan."
"Huo Xunyan" Fang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard the name, "The Huo Xun tribe among the nine surnames of Zhaowu?"
Huo Xunyan's surname is not Huo, but 'Huo Xun'.
Huo Xunyan was stunned when he heard Fang Jian's words, hesitated for a moment, and said timidly: "The nine surnames of Zhaowu. What are those?"
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "That's a saying from the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou. It's normal that you haven't heard it in Xiniu Hezhou." After that, Fang Jian looked at Huo Xunyan and said, "Since you came to see me, To avenge your grievance, let’s talk about it, what is your grievance?”
When Huo Xunyan heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red. After a moment, he burst into tears. He trembled and fell to the ground, and then burst into tears.
Fang Jian did not intervene verbally, but quietly waited for Huo Xunyan to feel better before letting him continue to report.
After a cup of tea, Huo Xunyan finally controlled his emotions, and then told Fang Jian everything about himself while sobbing.
Half an hour later, Huo Xunyan was already lying on the ground, crying so hard.
"How can the Great Sun Sect be so cruel? Is this still Buddhism?" After hearing Huo Xunyan's cry, General Fatan said with a look of shock.
Fang Jian was also a little shocked and said: "This is indeed shocking. What do you think about capturing and killing the general?"
Tang Yu was also dumbfounded. The experience Huo Xunyan said made him feel "shocked, really shocking."
Fang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Xiong Qi and Huo Xunyan below and said, "If the Great Sun Sect is really what you two said, I will never let them stay."
Xiong Qi immediately pointed to the sky and swore: "Everything the little demon said is true. If there is any falsehood, I am willing to accept the law of heaven and die."
Huo Xunyan also raised his head at this moment, imitating Xiong Qi and said: "I also swear to God that if there is even the slightest bit of falsehood in my words, I will not die a good death."
Fang Jian nodded, and then asked Xiong Qi and Huo Xunyan: "You just said that the magic weapon they refined with demon cultivators and mortal bodies is in Changlin Temple?"
"Exactly." Xiong Qi said: "All the magical weapons are being sacrificed in Changlin Temple."
"My parents are among them. I heard with my own ears that they wanted to be sent back to the temple for sacrifice." Huo Xunyan cried: "My parents are pitiful. Not only were they mutilated, but their souls were also sealed in the magic weapon. within"
This is what Xiong Qi told him. All the magical weapons made by Dairi Sect monks using the bodies of living beings will seal the souls of living beings inside to enhance the spirituality and power of the magical weapons.
So he heard his mother's cry among the drums in the cage, which was the sound of his mother's soul.
Fang Jian looked at Xiong Qi and asked, "Where are your people now?"
Hearing this, Xiong Qi immediately replied: "Back to my loving father, we are hiding in Heidou Ridge. Changlin Temple has been searching for us for the past half month."
Fang Jian nodded, and then said to the ultimatum envoy: "You personally lead five hundred heavenly soldiers down to the Black Dou Ridge to protect the demon cultivators hiding in the Black Dou Ridge."
The ultimatum was transferred to Chai Zhou and he accepted the order and said: "Follow the decree of the law."
Then Fang Jian said to Xiong Qi and Huo Xunyan: "You two will stay here for now. Later, you will follow me down to the lower realm and go to Changlin Temple."
Hearing this, Xiong Qi and Huo Xunyan were overjoyed, and immediately bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you, my loving father, Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian said calmly: "There is no need to be too polite. As the Minister of Xitian Mansion, I should make decisions for all sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou."
Diling Mountain, Changlin Temple, and Da Ribao Hall.
Pu Yuan, the abbot of Changlin Temple, asked the two elders on the side: "Have you not caught the evildoer who destroyed Shanling Temple?"
"No." An elder said: "Junior Brother Puhuan came back yesterday with a letter, but we haven't caught those monsters yet."
Puyuan Divine Monk frowned and said: "Those monsters are not important, what is important is the mortal."
After hearing what Puyuan Divine Monk said, the other two elders also felt very troubled.
Fortunately for the demon cultivator, no matter whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there has been no conflict with the demon cultivator throughout the ages. Even if there is any conflict, it is normal and completely justified.
But that mortal saw a lot of things he shouldn't have seen. If his memory fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would be a huge threat to Changlin Temple and even the entire Dainichi Sect.
"Tell Junior Brother Puhuan to catch those monsters and that mortal as soon as possible. The grand ceremony for the canonization of Mingfei by Lord Mingwang will begin in two months. There must be no mistakes at this time." Puyuan Divine Monk said.
When the other two elders heard this, they immediately clasped their hands and said, "Follow the law and decree."
At this time, Puyuan Divine Monk seemed to remember something and said, "How many magical instruments have been returned to the temple for worship recently?"
When another elder heard this, he immediately said: "Return to the host, there are more than seven hundred items in total."
Puyuan Divine Monk thought for a while and said: "Stop the sacrifice and refining first, and send everything to the Sacred Bone Pagoda for storage." At this point, Puyuan Divine Monk looked at the two elders and said, "Just in case."
When the two elders heard the words, they immediately understood. One elder immediately stood up and bowed: "I'll do it right away."
Puyuan Divine Monk then said to the remaining elder: "For the Ming Fei canonization ceremony, all Yang Shen realm and above disciples in the temple must go to Huayan Bao Temple to participate. This is a gift given to our Changlin Temple by Lord Ming Wang. We must let Disciples must be well prepared and must not slack off at all.”
"Follow the law and decree." The remaining elder also stood up and bowed.
The remaining elder had just stood up when a deacon monk from the Xuanxian Realm suddenly walked in from outside the main hall. The deacon monk came to Puyuan Divine Monk with a face full of panic and worshiped: "President, it's not good, the mountain gate is blocked." Sealed."
"???"
Upon hearing this, Puyuan Divine Monk and the remaining elder couldn't help but be stunned, their faces full of doubts.
"What do you mean?" the elder asked.
The deacon monk reported: "To the abbot and elders, many heavenly soldiers suddenly came outside the temple. They said that in accordance with the decree of Master Hongqing, the Minister of the West Tianfu, the mountain gate and all exits in the temple were sealed, and even the sky was covered with Thundernet.”
"What?!" Divine Monk Puyuan and the elder were shocked when they heard this, and their faces instantly turned livid.
After the shock, Puyuan Divine Monk immediately asked: "How many heavenly soldiers have come? Which heavenly general is leading them?"
The deacon monk said: "There are about five thousand people, led by Tang Yu, the general who captured and killed Xitianfu."
"Is it him?!" Divine Monk Puyuan and the elder were immediately horrified, and they heard the elder say: "Master, that Tangyu is a vicious dog under Master Hongqing, and in his hands is the blood debt of tens of thousands of my Buddhist disciples. "
Puyuan Divine Monk said calmly: "We must deal with it properly."
After the words of Divine Monk Puyuan fell, the elder who left earlier also came back. As soon as he came in, he said: "Brother presiding officer, Senior Brother Puguang, the general Tang Yu who captured and killed has sent a large number of heavenly soldiers and has surrounded our Changlin Temple. Now What should I do?”
Elder Puguang said: "You still don't know the reason for coming?"
"I'm afraid something will happen again, otherwise the Xitian Mansion wouldn't be so aggressive." Puyuan Divine Monk's tone was extremely serious.
After the words of the Puyuan Divine Monk fell, the entire Da Ri Treasure Hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence. At the same time, everyone present was reminded of a temple in Jing France, which was Shuangjian that was destroyed by the capture and murder general Tang Yu. temple.
"The person who came here is evil!" Elder Puguang said in a solemn voice.
At this time, the Puyuan Divine Monk said: "No matter what, we can't mess up our position. Let's go. The two junior brothers will follow me to the mountain gate to meet the general who captured and killed him and to find out what his purpose is."
As long as those heavenly soldiers have not attacked Changlin Temple, it means that there is still room for redemption. It is not possible to lie down and pretend to be dead like the abbot of Shuangjian Temple, because Shuangjian Temple has set a wrong example with the lives of all the monks in the temple.
