Xiaoyu glanced at Po Meng, her eyes were red and she didn't say anything. She just gently took Su Quan's hand and never wanted to let go.
Su Quan looked back at her, shook his head, and said, "I guessed the beginning of this story, but I couldn't imagine the ending..."
It took two years to build the Buddhist temple. After it was completed, Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Guxing, together with Wang Lianhua, held the opening ceremony for the Buddhist temple.
Su Quan, who is familiar with Buddhist scriptures, chose the name Budu for the Buddhist temple, which means the principle of one reality, such as being equal and not different from each other, which is called Budu.
Building a Buddhist temple in the wilderness is a big deal.
As a result, monks from Wangtian City, Huangzhu City, and even Fucheng came to practice here.
But Su Quan was just a secular person who didn't understand the rules of Buddhism and the practice of morning and evening classes. He only made offerings to the Buddhas of the three generations in the main hall according to the Buddhist scriptures given to him by Li Xiuyuan.
Even so, it still cannot stop people from all over the world from worshiping the Buddha, and the incense in the temple becomes more and more prosperous day by day.
After two years of such tranquility, Su Quan also practiced in the mountains and broke through the cave heaven cultivation level that had not been broken for a long time.
In the spring of this year, a Buddhist disciple came from Fucheng, calling himself Chengjing, and said he was a monk from Qianfo Temple in the Shura Realm.
Su Quan was overjoyed. With the full-time Buddhist monks, the temple could recruit monks and start practicing morning and evening classes in the main hall.
As the news spread, the temple became more popular.
It was not until a few years later that Su Quan saw that the Buddhist temple was on the right track, so he decided to hand over the position of abbot to monk Chengjing, because until now, Su Quan had not ordained.
Because he not only promised Li Xiuyuan to build a Buddhist temple on the Shura battlefield.
Even before meeting Li Xiuyuan, he made a vow to Xiaoyu that if he left the Shura battlefield alive, he would marry her.
Seeing that he had fulfilled his promise to Li Xiuyuan, he put down the burden on his shoulders and left it to Cheng Jing to return to Ding'an to marry Xiaoyu as his wife and fulfill his original promise.
Speaking of this, Po Meng looked at the two of them and said, "Yes, you have fulfilled your promise to me. Is it possible that the monk from Qianfo Temple won't let you go down the mountain?"
After that, he added freshly brewed spiritual tea to the two of them and said incredulously.
"That's not true. It's because since ancient times, there has been no wise ruler in the wilderness, and a bunch of stupid people have been in charge."
Before Su Quan could reply, a breeze blew on the Wangchuan Bridge. When he looked closely, it was King Qin Guang who came for a while at the invitation of Po Meng. Unexpectedly, he took over Su Quan's words.
Su Quan and Xiao Yu were startled, and looked at the sudden appearance of the middle-aged scholar, not daring to speak.
Po Meng sighed, dragged a chair and put it down next to the table, and said with a smile: "This is the King of the Tenth Palace under the Nine Nethers. I ask him to uphold justice for you."
When Su Quan and Xiaoyu heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "The common people have seen the king. Please make the decision for us."
"Get up first, then talk."
King Qin Guang took the spiritual tea from Po Meng, sniffed it gently, and suddenly felt refreshed.
He laughed and said, "So you want to use this spiritual tea to bribe me?"
Po Meng smiled faintly: "I cooked it for my old friends to drink. I wanted them to avoid falling into the evil realm after reincarnation, but I didn't want to ruin your good deeds."
King Qin Guang sighed and said seriously: "In the future, don't cook this spirit casually when you meet anyone. It will destroy the Taoism between heaven and earth. This is just this one time, and it won't happen next time."
After speaking, he took a small sip, and then smiled and said: "Do you know, this cup of spiritual tea can bribe me ten times."
He stretched out his hand, picked up the two people kneeling on the ground, shook his head and said: "These two miserable guys, speaking of it, they were killed by the Marshal's Mansion of Manhuang City and the City Lord of Ding'an City."
It turned out that Cheng Jing was willing to take over the post of abbot, and the two also performed a handover ceremony for this purpose.
However, the good times did not last long. Less than half a month after Su Quan and Xiaoyu got married after returning to Dingcheng'an, the matter spread to a group of adults in Fucheng.
It is said that the abbot outside Ding'an City did not abide by the etiquette and got married to a worldly woman, ruining the Buddhism of Fuji Temple and the Buddhism that had just been established in the wilderness.
So the commander-in-chief of Fucheng was furious and ordered the Lord of Ximen of Ding'an City to resolve the matter.
The decree of the Marshal of Fucheng was to represent the Barbarian King of the Wilderness, which frightened Ximen Lone Star's father and asked people from the City Lord's Palace to arrest Su Quan in prison overnight.
Under some threats, he was asked to divorce his wife and become a monk and continue to be the abbot of Fujiji Temple.
Even if you don't become the abbot, you still have to become a monk there and stay there forever.
Naturally, Su Quan would not bow to the city lord. In desperation, the city lord's palace went to trouble Xiaoyu again, saying that she was not a woman and seduced Buddhist disciples, and wanted to burn her to death.
Who knew that Xiaoyu was also a strong-willed female servant, and when she saw this, she even seceded from home...
Once he saw that someone was killed, the city lord couldn't keep Su Quan in prison, so he had to quietly let him go.
When Su Quan returned home and saw that his wife died because of him, how could he live alone? The two of them lived and died together on the Shura battlefield and survived together...
The night he returned home, Su Quan also cut off his heart, and a ghost followed his beloved wife.
At this point, even King Qin Guang couldn't help but become furious.
Looking at Po Meng, she cursed: "The reason for this mess is also your fault. If you hadn't wanted to educate the ignorant people in the wilderness, this couple would not have died in love."
Po Meng thought carefully and realized that, as King Qin Guang said, the cause of this incident was indeed on her own head.
"Su Quan and I originally had good intentions, but we didn't expect that it turned out to be a bad thing in the end."
Po Meng was so angry that she couldn't help cursing: "My heart was set on the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch... Su Quan, such a big thing happened, where are Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Lone Star?"
At that moment, Po Meng really wanted to fly to the wild Ding'an City, cut off their relationship with this couple, and never have any contact with each other in heaven or on earth.
Seeing Po Meng being so angry, Su Quan had no choice but to hand over his hand and reply: "The princess seemed to be on her way to Fucheng with her family at that time. If she was in Ding'an, no one would dare to come to trouble my wife."
"This is not over yet, I'll keep it in mind for you."
Po Meng looked at Xiaoyu and said, "Don't worry, when I return to the wilderness one day, I will burn down the commander's mansion to vent my anger on you and your wife."
Xiaoyu didn't expect that things would end up like this, so she had no choice but to stop crying.
He said quietly: "Xiaoyu's life is hard, I admit it, as long as I can be with my husband in heaven and on earth, I will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Po Meng had no choice but to smile bitterly, looked at King Qin Guang and asked, "Sir, please take a look at the afterlife of this miserable couple. Don't become a passerby after drinking this bowl of soup I cooked."
Drinking soup and crossing the bridge is a rule between heaven and earth, and even King Qin Guang cannot make an exception.
The only thing that Mrs. Meng can do is to pray for her that they can still be together after reincarnation.
King Qin Guang glanced at Su Quan, then shook his head at the pear blossom's whisper, and finally stretched out his finger to knock on the table and said with a smile: "Add more hot tea, and then talk."
Naturally, he couldn't waste this unique spiritual tea in the world.
It wasn't until he drank two cups of spiritual tea brewed with divine water that King Qin Guang looked at Po Meng and smiled lightly: "You were going to kill me for this, and I can't do anything to them!"
"In human terms, do you still want spiritual wine?" Po Meng said angrily: "I will stay here for ten or eight years. If this adds up, you will lose a lot of benefits."
King Qin Guang smiled, pointed to the spiritual tea in the cup and continued: "You broke the rules with this pot of spiritual tea. I'm afraid someone will come to trouble you someday."
Po Meng smiled faintly when she heard this: "I have a lot of debts and I don't have to worry about having another cause and effect on my back."
Mother Meng, who originally didn't want to be involved in the cause and effect of the world, couldn't stand it when she saw the miserable appearance of the couple in front of her.
King Qin Guang nodded: "There are two ways, you can choose for yourself: One is to drink soup and cross the bridge to reincarnate. You will lose all the memories of this life, but you will continue to be husband and wife in the next life."
"Either you stay with me and be a handyman secretary for five hundred years. You won't be able to retain the memories of this life, but you can retain the memories of each other as husband and wife."
King Qin Guang looked at Po Meng and said seriously: "Five hundred years later, the couple can choose to go to the big world to continue practicing Taoism, or they can stay with me to practice."
Po Meng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the best arrangement that King Qin Fang could make.
Thinking of this, Po Meng looked at the two of them and said: "Which way to go, you make your own choice. Neither I nor the king will make decisions for you two."
Su Quan took Xiaoyu's hand and said seriously: "Madam, I don't want to lose my memory of you. Let's stay by your side. Even if it takes a thousand years, I am willing."
When Xiaoyu heard this, she couldn't help but bow to Po Meng Yingying and said excitedly: "Thank you two adults for your kindness in rebirth. Xiaoyu will repay you by being a cow and a horse in the next life."
When King Qin Fang heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "If this guy hadn't given you this magical tea indiscriminately, I wouldn't have dared to accept you even if the King of Heaven came."
After speaking, he looked at Po Meng and said with a smile: "Last time you ran away in a hurry. Come on, come on, pour me three bowls of wine and a piece of meat. You owe me."
When Po Meng heard this, she chuckled and said, "I will be swallowed by the dragon. How can I have time to wait for you to save my life?"
While the couple were stunned, Po Meng poured three bowls of spiritual wine into the bowl.
Then he said with a smile: "Even if you go back to the underworld with the adults in a while, you have to drink the soup cooked by your mother-in-law first, otherwise you may be struck by lightning!"
King Qin Guang drank up the spirit wine in the bowl in one gulp and laughed and said: "Good wine, where's the meat?"
Po Meng glared at him, took a plate of strange bird meat and put it on the table: "This is a strange bird from Da Qin. I have never seen it before. If you are not afraid of death, just eat a few more pieces."
The couple were frightened to death at first. You must know that they had been wandering on the edge of the Forgotten River for ten days without daring to go onto the bridge.
It’s because the husband and wife are deeply in love and don’t want to forget each other after drinking the forget-the-hundred soup.
Unexpectedly, they met an old friend on the bridge. In the end, it was a blessing in disguise that the couple reunited, which was a huge surprise for them.
Between this shock and fright, I couldn't help but hug my head and cry.
King Qin Guang sighed and said: "I said you guys, can you please stop meddling in your own business in the future? This will not be of much benefit to your future practice."
Po Meng sighed softly and said quietly: "You also know that I also have a brother who was killed because of love. I also begged you for this."
"There is a way to achieve both ends of the world. If there was a way to achieve both ends, who would give up a good life and ignore it?"
Thinking of Wu Xin and Jasmine, and looking at Su Quan and Xiao Yu in front of her, Po Meng was filled with emotions.
King Qin Guang smiled lightly and said: "Fortunately, these two miserable guys met you in the end and got what they wanted. Think about it, is it really a pity that you don't join Buddhism?"
Su Quan and Xiaoyu wiped away their tears, kowtowed to Po Meng three times, and said resolutely: "My husband and I will repay the kindness of rebirth in the future."
Meng Po helped the couple up and said quietly: "All Buddhas, World Honored Ones, use convenient methods, but all the living beings they transform are Bodhisattvas. Although I am not a Buddha, I will not ask you to repay me."
Pointing to King Qin Guang on the side, he said: "You and your wife will practice well with the king, which is the best reward for me."
Su Quan and Xiaoyu bowed after hearing this: "I would like to obey your orders."
After drinking three bowls of wine and eating two pieces of meat, King Qin Guang waved his sleeves: "It's getting late, let's go first, and I'll come find you another day to get drunk."
Po Meng took two bowls of soup from the pot and put them on the table. She smiled and said, "Drink it and forget about me."
