"Amitabha!"
"Donor, the old monk is trekking from the west and passing by your place. Could you please take a break and ask for a glass of water?"
At the entrance of Baohe Hall in Hangzhou, Xu Xian, who had just returned from a consultation, was stopped by an old monk before he could enter.
The old monk had kind eyebrows and gray eyebrows. He looked old, but his face was rosy, and his eyes in particular were extremely bright. When Xu Xian was stared at by him, it seemed as if he could see through all the thoughts in his heart in an instant.
This couldn't help but make Xu Xian feel a little guilty.
After all, he now knows the identity of his wife. Although it sounds a bit difficult to accept at first, fortunately, the buffer time is long enough for him, coupled with the fact that the wife is so frank and honest, and he really loves her deeply. , so after a few days of inner struggle, he calmly accepted the established fact that his wife was a snake demon.
At the same time, because he now has some cultivation skills himself, and because Bai Niangzi and Xiao Qing have popularized science about him during this period, he is not blind to the world of immortality in the Liaozhai world.
He knows Buddhism's attitude towards monsters, and he also knows that the rules of the fairy world are that humans and monsters are not allowed to combine.
Now this old monk, who was obviously a practitioner, came to ask for water from him, which instantly made Xu Xian wary.
As a practitioner, do you still need to ask him for water?
Isn't this funny?
If the other party said that he didn't want anything, Xu Xian would never believe it.
"Monk, don't ask me for a drink of water. I'm always willing to give to others. Let's do this. I'll give you ten taels of silver. You can go to the sugar shop over there, sit there and have a good meal, and then have a good rest. how?"
"Not so?" Fa Hai replied in his heart, but there was a trace of sadness on his face.
"Donor, I am a monk. A monk has nothing. I will not accept money. I only need a bowl of water. I will drink it and leave."
"There really is a ghost!"
When Xu Xian saw that this old monk didn't even want any money and was determined to enter the Baohe Hall, alarm bells rang in his heart.
"roll roll roll!"
"I don't have water at home, go somewhere else!" Since Xu Xian started practicing martial arts, he has involuntarily developed a bad temper. It may not be obvious to those close to him, but how can he suppress such a guy who obviously has bad intentions? The anger in my heart.
At this moment, a pair of hands was already squeezing it loudly.
Feeling the fierce aura on Xu Xian's body, the smile on Fa Hai's face couldn't help but froze.
"Is this... a new martial art that emerged in the Song Dynasty?"
"This person who was destined for disaster by Bai Suzhen actually entered the martial arts!"
At this moment, Fahai's heart couldn't help but feel a little rippled.
He also has some understanding of this martial arts, which can be said to be very mysterious. It is completely different from the immortal cultivation method that is now prosperous in the Liaozhai world.
But judging from the extraordinary methods that the martial arts path has revealed, it can be said that its cultivation to a high level is not weaker than the immortal way.
Just like the Lu Bu who is now making a splash in the capital of the gods.
With his martial arts methods and even abilities, he is still able to defeat Nascent Soul.
I heard that during this period of time, many famous sects in the Song Dynasty have talented disciples who have come to compete with this person. Many people have even extended an olive branch to this person and want to take him into their sect.
In particular, the royal family of the Song Dynasty has given a lot of promises and has shown its determination to win Lu Bu.
After all, the Song Dynasty was a mortal dynasty with a very large population. If martial arts were promoted nationwide, those who did not have the qualifications to become immortals but were aspiring to the path of the extraordinary would have a glimmer of hope.
The strength of the Song Dynasty royal family will increase by leaps and bounds to an extremely terrifying level in a very short period of time.
However, this martial arts training method should only be spread near the divine capital at this moment. Why did Xu Xian, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, also practice this method?
And it seems that his cultivation is not superficial, but extremely profound.
"variable!"
"This is a variable!"
Fahai narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head and glanced inside the Baohe Hall, with a smile on his face again and said: "Donor, please don't be angry. Maybe you have already figured it out. I am actually a member of the Immortal Sect and come from the West." Paradise Buddha Land, the reason why I insist on entering your home is not because I have any other intentions, but because you, the donor, have a predestined relationship with my Buddhism."
"If you are willing to give the old monk a bowl of water today, the old monk may give you a chance to live forever in the future."
"unnecessary!"
"My life is very good now. I have a wife. I won't join your Buddhism. You should give up on this!" Xu Xian waved his hand impatiently.
Fahai couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words. He clasped his hands again and performed a Buddhist salute to Xu Xian and said, "Donor, Buddha is destined to save you. You are destined to be my Buddha. You can't escape or hide away."
"You are rejecting the poor monk now just because your six roots are not purified. The poor monk will wait for you. One day you will voluntarily follow the poor monk to the west."
"Get out of here!" Xu Xian was furious and punched Fahai.
When his fist touched Fahai's body, it was like touching glass, which shattered into countless parts with a snap.
It turned into countless golden illusory lotus flowers and floated around.
"Donor, you and I will meet again!" Fahai's voice directly affected Xu Xian's heart. Xu Xian raised his head and looked around, but the old monk was nowhere to be seen.
This immediately made Xu Xian a little unwilling.
He was now a sixth-grade martial artist, and he didn't even touch a corner of the opponent's clothes.
Too weak, I am really too weak.
How can I protect my wife and the child who is about to be born in her belly like this?
"Xu Lang, what are you doing standing here?" Bai Niangzi walked out of Baohe Hall at this moment and asked doubtfully.
"nothing?"
"Just a rambunctious old monk!"
"Madam, you're pregnant now, so you'd better not go outside. It's no joke if you catch the cold. Come on, I'll take you back to your room!"
Xu Xian did not tell Bai Suzhen about the old monk.
Because although Bai Suzhen told him that she was a snake demon, she did not tell him about her cultivation, so until this moment Xu Xian thought that his wife was still a weak woman without the power to restrain a chicken.
Even if this weak woman is a monster.
"Madam, I will take you back to your room."
“Madam, please don’t catch the cold!”
"Madam, be careful on the steps, don't get bumped!"
When Xu Xian had arranged for Lady Bai to sit in front of the court, Xiao Qing quietly appeared next to Bai Suzhen and imitated Xu Xian's voice perfectly.
After finishing the lesson, Bai Suzhen didn't react much, but she started laughing.
"Sister, how are you? Was the punch from brother-in-law just now domineering?" Xiao Qing asked expectantly.
Bai Suzhen's face suddenly flashed with helplessness when she heard this.
"You are still too idle!"
She stretched out her hand and knocked Xiao Qing. She did not respond to Xiao Qing's teasing, but said with a smile: "However, you won't be free for long. Your guy has come back. I guess you won't have time to talk to me in a while." I’m so talkative here.”
"Zhu Biao...!"
"He is back!"
Xiao Qing's face was filled with joy, and then she couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I don't care whether he comes back or not, what does it have to do with me.
"Why doesn't it matter?"
"Don't Miss Xiaoqing still want me to be your vanguard general?" Suddenly Zhu Biao's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Xiaoqing turned around suddenly and immediately saw Zhu Biao walking out relievedly from behind the screen not far away.
"Hmph, you are a rat who hides your head and shows your tail!" Xiao Qing snorted coldly, looking away from Zhu Biao, but he made a face at his sister.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhu for forming a golden elixir!" White Snake said with a smile.
"It's just a fluke!"
Zhu Biao said modestly and did not say much about this matter. He went straight to the point and said: "White Lady, what do you think of that monk just now?"
"Humph, she is the same as my sister in the late stage of spiritual transformation. She appears here and takes the initiative to contact her brother-in-law. She must have bad intentions!" Xiao Qing said angrily.
"I have already guessed his purpose of coming here!"
Bai Suzhen said calmly: "This person is also going through a tribulation. If I read it correctly, what he wants to go through is an extremely rare tribulation of killing."
"The person he chose to kill is me!"
"The calamity of killing?" Zhu Biao was a little confused.
Xiao Qing also looked puzzled. It was obvious that even she had no idea what the calamity of killing was.
"This is a unique disaster for an Arhat in Buddhism. I suspect that this person is probably the reincarnation of a great Buddhist power." Bai Suzhen said calmly.
"It is rumored that six thousand years ago, the Buddhist killing arhat was surrounded by the seven demons of the demon world, led by the six demons of desire. He was attacked and killed. Isn't this the reincarnation of the great Buddhist power that the white lady said?" Zhu Biao said with a solemn face. .
Over this period of time, his understanding of this world has become deeper and deeper, and even the natives of the Liaozhai World don't know much about much of its history.
"should be!"
Bai Suzhen was also surprised that Zhu Biao actually knew about the killing Arhat, but she still nodded and said: "If it weren't for the reincarnation of the killing Arhat, I'm afraid Buddhism would not even give up on me, who is almost a certain demon immortal."
"Sister, why do you say that?" Xiao Qing's face changed and she asked.
You must know that Bai Suzhen has been favored by Buddhism since she was a child. Not only was she given the skills, but also various cultivation resources. It only took her a thousand years to reach the peak of divine transformation.
Although she is a demon, she can be said to be a Buddhist with upright roots.
It is simply unbelievable that Buddhism would give up on such a fairy.
"It's nothing more than a trade-off between interests!"
"Compared to me, a demon with no legs, I would naturally kill an Arhat to perfectly survive the calamity. It is more important for Buddhism to become an Arhat as soon as possible!"
Bai Suzhen walked to the window and looked at the sky outside. There was no joy, no sadness, no waves in her heart.
She was even a little lucky. If Buddhism hadn't directly used her as an outcast and a stepping stone, even if she succeeded in ascending to immortality, she might not be able to be free.
But things are different now. This murderous arhat is her real calamity. If she can get through it, then the sky is really high and she can fly freely.
Of course, this time, my love disaster will be countless times more dangerous than before.
The chance of success is probably not even 10%.
"I don't believe that Buddhism would rather abandon one of its own demons for a murderous Arhat."
"This is such a luxury!"
"Even if the killing arhat doesn't choose White Snake as the target of his murder, he can still achieve positive results. It's just that the speed is a little slower and not so perfect. They don't need to be so anxious."
Zhu Biao's eyes flashed thoughtfully and he said: "Unless something big is going to happen, Buddhism has to do this."
"I feel it too!"
Bai Suzhen nodded calmly.
"The human race has become more and more powerful in recent years. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, in the past few thousand years, almost every thousand people have overcome tribulations and become immortals. This is a manifestation of the fate of heaven and earth."
"Coupled with the sudden emergence of martial arts training methods in recent years, over time this method will definitely be able to improve the overall strength of the human race on a large scale. I am afraid that the demon world and the ghost world will not just watch this."
"After all, the demon world and the ghost world have been silent for too long in the past ten thousand years. There are only a handful of demons, ghosts and gods who have been able to transcend tribulations and ascend in the past ten thousand years."
"Instead of sitting back and waiting for the human race to continue to become stronger, they may have to make a final desperate fight."
"What does White Snake mean to say that the Six Realms War is about to restart?" Zhu Biao asked with a thought in his heart.
And he never thought that the trigger of the war between the six realms might be the martial arts training method they brought.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"It's very possible!" Bai Suzhen nodded.
"If you stretch the timeline long enough, you will find that war is the mainstream in this part of the world. Relatively speaking, peaceful development that lasts for ten thousand years is rare."
"But now, this kind of peaceful development should have come to an end. The day when the six realms will resume war is probably not far away."
Bai Suzhen sighed.
"I don't care about the chaos in the six realms!"
"To me, the most important thing is my sister's life!"
Xiao Qing interrupted the conversation between the two, glanced at Zhu Biao, and finally focused on Bai Suzhen.
"Sister, you should tell us how we are going to deal with this!"
"I have a proposal!"
Zhu Biao didn't wait for Bai Suzhen to speak, and suddenly said: "Ms. Bai, how about we make another deal."
"I will do my best to protect you from the disaster, and you must promise to protect me for thirty years after you become an immortal."
Bai Suzhen had actually expected that Zhu Biao came here with a purpose, but what she didn't expect was that Zhu Biao was so courageous. As a small cultivator who had just entered the Dan Formation realm, she had the courage to intervene in her own immortal tribulation. .
Especially since this matter also involves such a behemoth as the Buddhist world.
"Is Fellow Daoist Zhu serious?" Bai Suzhen looked at Zhu Biao seriously and asked.
"Of course!" Zhu Biao nodded.
"good!"
Bai Suzhen agreed directly without any hesitation.
After all, her chances of winning against the Killing Arhat alone were too slim. Even though she didn't have a complete understanding of Zhu Biao's strength, one more person would give her more power, so she had no reason not to agree.
