Yue Hongling was so angry that her teeth itched.
I secretly said to you, Zhao Changhe, I haven’t seen you for a long time and now you’re staying in a brothel, so forget it. I’m so excited when you mention it. What does it mean?
Isn't this a bit wrong? When I was living at his place, he really respected me enough and tried his best to avoid anything that would embarrass me. If it was true that he was secretly in love as others suspected, there would have been too many opportunities for him to tease her at that time. Taking advantage of the atmosphere in which he pretended to be Mrs. Yazhai by default at that time, at least he could say "ma'am" in public, so it would be easy for him to have an attack, right?
But he didn't show any sign...
Are the ulterior thoughts hidden so deeply?
It’s been a few months since I last saw him and he’s gotten worse... You can see that he’s now visiting a brothel. How honest he used to be.
But no matter how much she was gnashing her teeth in her heart, Yue Hongling really wanted to see Zhao Changhe. Nowadays, Yangzhou always made her feel a strange atmosphere, and it was not just about the Maitreya Cult. Zhao Changhe went to Yangzhou at this time, did he know something?
If you...you really have a crush, as long as you don't say it out loud, I'll pretend I don't know about it and just get along with you as usual...
Just as he was hesitating whether to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find Zhao Changhe, he saw a monk hurriedly coming to report: "Zhao Changhe is here. He said he came to worship Buddha."
The abbot was not surprised and said with a smile: "Yesterday Dongliu made it clear to him that we have good intentions for him. If he doesn't reject it, he will naturally come to see him... After all, he doesn't have any good inheritance and needs to seek it. A good backing. Invite him into the palace to talk. Well, there is no need to arrange those messy things. Let’s talk about it later.”
"yes."
Yue Hongling soon saw Zhao Changhe, who had been away for several months, striding into the temple under the guidance of the monks.
Yue Hongling found that every time she saw Zhao Changhe, his temperament would change slightly.
Zhao Cuo was young and ignorant when we first met him, but when he met Bei Mang, he was already the master of the village. He was rough, domineering, and full of recklessness.
But this time, after the storms in the world and the aristocratic families had met, the sharp edge had softened a lot, and he seemed to have a more calm and solemn demeanor, which seemed to combine the initial bookishness. However, the grass remains unruly and unyielding. As the tiger steps forward and the dragon moves forward, Yue Hongling always seems to be in a trance as if she is looking at Caobang Wan Tianxiong, a powerful hero in the southeast.
The wind and rain in the world really refines people. In just half a year, he has grown into such a... well, a man who can visit brothels.
The thought flashed across his mind, and Zhao Changhe had already entered the hall. Seeing the empty hall with only an abbot and a few monks waiting for him, Zhao Changhe seemed a little surprised: "I thought your temple had many pilgrims and countless monks... or me. Did you come too early and didn’t see me?”
The abbot smiled and said: "Donor Zhao doesn't know something. We encourage believers to stay at home. There have never been many monks. As for believers, they leave immediately after praying. Everyone still needs to give birth."
Zhao Changhe thought slightly, no wonder this temple is called White Lotus. In fact, this Maitreya sect adopts many templates of White Lotus sect. If it is a pure Maitreya sect, it is the kind that encourages killing, but rarely does this.
However, the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect are originally very closely related, and they may not know much about the so-called "last era". It is purely a trick, and it is normal to mix them up.
It's a pity that the history lessons I learned have almost been returned to the teachers, and my understanding of these is not much better than theirs. Everyone is only half as good as they are.
The abbot is saying: "Donor, please sit down."
Zhao Changhe sat down on the futon in front of him, and a monk brought a tea cup. The atmosphere was a bit like going to the temple to ask serious questions about Zen.
"Can I ask the master's name?" Zhao Changhe asked.
The abbot said: "Fa Yuan is nameless, and the donor must have never heard of it. Because he was a layman before coming here to be the abbot, and he is called Zhang Banfo, so the donor may have heard of it."
Zhao Changhe seemed a little impressed.
At that time, the Four Symbol Sect deceived Han Wubing to see the sword, during which he searched for Chichi for a few days... Naturally, everyone had communication. Han Wubing said that the Four Symbol Sect was to assassinate Zhang Banfo in exchange, making him think that he invited him The purpose of reading swords is to buy murder and increase credibility.
That was the excuse the Four Symbols Sect made at random. Han Wubing should not be able to kill a person of this caliber. But casually mentioning the name of an enemy is enough to prove that in the eyes of Chichi and others, Zhang Banfo is a must-kill target, and casually mentioning his name will always be him.
The person in charge of the Maitreya Cult in an important area... This guy is probably still on Tang Wanzhuang's must-kill list, but most people don't know that he has transformed into a real monk Fa Yuan, but he is an "ally of the Maitreya Cult" I found out unexpectedly.
"I seem to have heard it somewhere, I can't remember clearly." Zhao Changhe smiled honestly: "Zhao has only been around for a short time, and he doesn't know many heroes."
Fayuan did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "It is precisely because the donor has only been in the world for a short time that it is even more valuable to have achieved such a reputation."
Zhao Changhe pretended to be angry and said: "Master is not kind, what a bloodthirsty Shura, it is really unpleasant to hear."
Fayuan put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know what the donor likes, so please don't be offended. The donor should know that we have good intentions."
It's not necessarily a good intention, it's just a by-product to clean up the reputation of the Four Symbols Cult and the Blood God Cult. Of course, Zhao Changhe would not expose it, and said with a smile: "I never thought beforehand that I am really destined to be your sect. Master also knows that I was originally from the mountains and fields and had no understanding of Buddhism. Since we are so destined, I don't know Master, can you tell me a little bit about it? Maybe I actually have a predestined relationship with the Buddha."
This sounds like he really wants to know more about it to see if he can join the team, and he is straight to the point and avoids any nonsense.
In fact, Fayuan and others have always thought that this is a very normal thing. The Maitreya Sect is a cult and is an enemy of the government. What does this mean to a wanted gangster like Zhao Changhe? This would only bring him closer.
Especially after he had gone through so much trouble to save the daughter of the Cui family, but was driven away by the Cui family as a gangster. If Fayuan himself replaced Zhao Changhe, he would be very angry. Sooner or later, he would be trampled to death. Trampling all of you pretentious upper-class families underfoot, grabbing Cui Yuanyang and playing with it as you please, that's what Zhao Changhe should think about. What about your mother's three-year ranking?
Among the anti-thief demon sects, he is a traitor to the Four Symbols Sect and the Blood God Sect...
This is not a match made in heaven with their Maitreya religion, so what else is a match made in heaven! So much so that they were not wary of Zhao Changhe at all. He was a naturally good candidate to be recruited as their disciples.
Even Yue Hongling, who was peeping on Liang Shang, was a little suspicious, but continued to listen out of her trust in Zhao Changhe. She felt that people like Zhao Changhe were actually the same as her at heart. They looked lawless but were actually chivalrous and righteous. No matter what his choice, he should not join an organization like Maitreya Cult, unless he had no idea about the situation of Maitreya Cult and was deceived. If this really happens, you have to find an opportunity to remind him.
But I heard Fa Yuan say: "The donor may have heard that... Buddhism was once widespread in the world and Buddhism was prosperous. More than ten years ago, the current emperor carried out an unpopular move to destroy the Buddha. Within ten days, all the pagodas were destroyed. Temples were burned down and monks returned to lay life, causing the Dharma to wither."
Zhao Changhe saw such a stroke when he was reading, but he was too sleepy to read it and didn't know the details. Perhaps subconsciously, he felt that it was not unusual for people like Xia Longyuan to destroy Buddhas...
Then he asked: "But now temples are still being built openly, is there no problem? In other words, they are not big in scale. When I travel north and south, I don't see many temples. I don't seem to have heard that there is a strong martial arts sect that is Buddhist. Oh, your religion doesn’t know if it counts.”
Fayuan shook his head and said: "Since it is unpopular, it is naturally difficult to sustain it. There are too many voices of protest from the government and the public, and the emperor cannot insist on his own way. So he gradually loosened his grip, and then there was a resurgence. However, before the resurgence, the Maitreya Cult It has been developed in secret for a long time.”
Zhao Changhe said: "Because you practice at home in the name of association, so you are highly concealed and not easy to be hit?"
"That's right...but more importantly, we closed the book of Proverbs."
"What motto?"
"Of course it was Maitreya who became a Buddha." Fayuan's expression was solemn at this time, and he obviously believed it very much: "'Sakyamuni Buddha has declined, but Maitreya Buddha will uphold the world'... This motto had already appeared before the emperor destroyed the Buddha. The emperor's Once the Buddha is destroyed, wouldn't it be a perfect fit? The leader is the reincarnation of Maitreya from the last era, who came to lead our Mahayana."
The monks all around were chanting with their hands clasped together, looking enthusiastic.
Damn these cults... Zhao Changhe was speechless in his heart. In his opinion, these eight poles cannot be defeated. Even if they can be defeated, it is just a coincidence. Even if it is not a coincidence, the more awesome one is Xia Longyuan who can make Sakyamuni decline! But they can fanatically believe in Maitreya. It seems that they are not fools...
Of course, you have to look extremely interested: "If so, maybe your leader really has mastered the ancient secret?"
"Yes, who among today's warriors is not pursuing the ancient times? Every sect claims to be the legend of the ancient times, but only our Maitreya Sect has mastered the secret of the true Buddha."
"What's the proof?"
Fa Yuan smiled mysteriously: "Just like your meridian formation problem, I believe that no other sect has a solution, but we do."
Zhao Changhe's heart beat violently and he subconsciously held his breath.
Who would have thought in advance that he would actually hear the problems that had troubled him throughout his martial arts life here, and that he would also be told that there was a solution!
Even Yue Hongling screamed inwardly, she knew very well that this was indeed the most fatal temptation for Zhao Changhe, much more tempting than ten thousand fake Yue Hongling.
Seeing Zhao Changhe's expression, Fayuan smiled contentedly and began to speculate: "Of course, this is not something that cannot be obtained by a Bodhisattva. Donor Zhao, please go back and study Buddhism first. Maybe the position of the Ten Abode Bodhisattva will be yours."
Zhao Changhe took a deep breath to calm down and said dullly: "I haven't read a single Buddhist scripture, how can I study it?"
Fayuan's smile became even more ambiguous: "Buddha is destined to do so. Since the donor is destined to us, we will have people teach the meaning of the scriptures. Maybe the donor will have new surprises."
