Boom!
San Le's words made Li Daoxuan and others' expressions change drastically.
Even the faces of the Empress in Tsing Yi and the Old Heavenly Master showed a look of astonishment, while Taizhen showed a look of curiosity, looking at Sanle carefully, with thoughtful eyes.
"Master, you can't joke about this kind of thing. Do you know what you are talking about?"
Li Daoxuan said with a solemn expression.
Master Sanle once lived in Yuzhang City and was Xuanzang's master. He was free and easy-going and lived in seclusion in the city. He once helped Li Daoxuan kill the weasel's clone and prevented a disaster.
Later, the dragon in Wanshou Palace was released by Pan Dan, and the flood flooded Longyou County. Li Daoxuan used the Three Realm Gourd to stop the dragon from escaping, but Pan Dan took the gourd away.
If Master Sanle hadn't arrived in time to pursue Pan Dan, I'm afraid Li Daoxuan's treasure gourd would not have come back.
Li Daoxuan had always had a deep affection for this master of Sanle, who had the cultivation of Yangshen, but was not greedy for fame or fortune, and was easy-going and kind. However, he never expected that the other party would actually say that he was the deputy leader of Moro?
"Sanle, I don't need your pity!"
"You traitor!"
In the lotus in the palm of the empress in green, Maha, who had been waiting quietly for death, suddenly became excited. He looked at Sanle with a very complicated expression, including hatred, resentment, excitement, and even a trace of... admiration?
His attitude undoubtedly confirmed Sanle's words.
Sanle looked at Maha, sighed softly, and said: "It's a pity that the golden body that Bodhidharma has accumulated throughout his life's cultivation failed to save you in the end. Instead, you became a demon with your obsession."
Maha snorted coldly and said mockingly: "What is salvation? I have been working for Buddhism all my life and worked hard to promote Buddhism. And you, you obviously have far more cultivation than me, but you apostate and leave, and you are willing to degenerate. A wandering monk, living a life without enough food, and by the way, I heard that you also adopted a little burden?"
Sanle shook his head, his voice suddenly became firm, and said: "He is not a burden, his name is Xuanzang, and he is my only disciple."
Hearing this, Maha sneered mercilessly: "I heard that he has been practicing for more than ten years, and he is not even in the Bigu state. Haha, it turns out that you have been searching all over the world for these years, and you just found this kind of trash? "
Li Daoxuan's face darkened. Although he was unclear about the situation, he immediately said: "Hey, that's too much. Xuanzang is my brother. If you talk about him like that again, do you believe I will ask the empress to dig out your tongue?"
The empress in green glanced at him.
Maha snorted coldly and said: "If you find a disciple like Li Daoxuan, then I will accept him. Although he is a little more despicable and shameless, and bullies others, his talent is indeed better than mine, Xuanzang? Who is he? thing!"
Li Daoxuan's expression froze. Are these words praising me or scolding me?
Master Sanle looked into the distance and seemed to see the little monk in ragged clothes but with clear and firm eyes.
He was wading through mountains and rivers in the direction of Chang'an, carrying a bamboo stick and mango shoes, and carrying a bamboo basket with a lame little black dog in it.
A gentle smile appeared on Sanle's lips and he said: "I am lucky to be Xuanzang's master."
After a pause, he looked at the old Heavenly Master and others who were vaguely surrounding him, bowed deeply, and begged: "Dear masters, can you help Maha to suffer less torture and be freed sooner? As for the matter of the Maha Sect, Poverty The monks will tell you everything."
Hearing this, the Heavenly Master looked thoughtful.
The Empress in Tsing Yi and Taizhen didn't speak either, both pairs of beautiful eyes looked at Li Daoxuan.
"I can trust Master Sanle's character."
"And no matter what, you are Xuanzang's master. Xuanzang calls me big brother. I can't let him call me brother in vain."
Li Dao
The Empress in Tsing Yi cooperated very well by spreading the petals of the lotus. She was even afraid that Li Daoxuan would not be killed by one blow, so she deliberately burned it again with the true fire of Samadhi, burning the remnant soul of Maha until only the last trace of strength remained.
】
Zheng!
The sword intent penetrated Maha's Yangshen, completely strangled him, and his soul was scattered.
Maha did not resist, let alone shout. He looked at Sanle quietly, with a trace of relief in his eyes, as if he had finally received the long-awaited relief.
His last words echoed in the air.
"Sanle, I have been reciting Buddhist scriptures for ninety years, but in the end I discovered that what I liked most was still the soft mud."
…
This sentence was incomprehensible, and Li Daoxuan and others could not understand it, but Sanle was shocked, and his eyes were filled with sadness and joy, as if he was sad for the passing of his old friend, but also happy that his old friend finally looked away.
The "Book of Demons and Demons" in Li Daoxuan's mind shone brightly and dazzlingly. It was obvious that the reward this time was very generous.
However, he had no intention of reading the writings on the heavenly book now. Instead, he looked at Master Sanle, wanting to hear the other person explain the cause and effect of all this, and why he claimed to be the deputy leader of the Moro Cult.
"San Le, I heard Qian Yang mention you. He praised you highly as a truly enlightened monk and admired your virtue and magical powers. The old Taoist knows that you have saved many people, but if you don't explain clearly today, you may be It’s hard to leave peacefully.”
The Heavenly Master tapped his cane and looked at Sanle quietly.
The Empress in Tsing Yi sighed and said: "Master Sanle, you have lived in Yuzhang City for seventeen years. During these seventeen years, you often collected medicines to treat the poor people in the city for free. Even if you were bullied, you never used your magical powers. , I admire your virtue, but why do you want to be involved with the Moro Cult?"
Sanle sighed and said, "It's a long story, let's start with Maha's Zen poem."
"He said in his poem that he was originally a guest in the mountains, staying among Xuanshui. This is true, because more than ninety years ago, Maha was originally a small snake on the shore of Luoshui beside Xiong'er Mountain."
Maha was once a snake?
Li Daoxuan couldn't believe it. He touched his sleeve, and the little white snake inside rubbed his fingers through the clothes very intelligently, without any idea of what was happening in the outside world.
If Master Sanle didn't lie, then why didn't his own heavenly eye see through the other party's demon body?
Even after Maha's death, he did not show his original shape, which is too abnormal.
Sanle continued: "It lived in Luoshui at that time. Whenever there was heavy snowfall, it would go to the Xiong'er Mountain next to it to hibernate. Day after day, year after year, because of its extraordinary blood, it gradually developed spiritual wisdom and lived a peaceful life. And happiness is until someone appears."
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed. He seemed to have guessed who that person was, and was very surprised.
Sure enough, Sanle's voice continued to sound.
"That year was the second year of Datong, that is, the Nanliang period more than 90 years ago. The eminent monk Bodhidharma of South India spent nine years facing the wall in a cave in Songshan Mountain. He suddenly understood the principles of Buddhism and created a line of Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains. , cultivate into a golden body."
"After that, he did not stay in Songshan, but realized that the Mahayana Buddhism was lacking, and wanted to go west to find Lingshan and obtain the Tripitaka Sutra, the most critical part of the Mahayana Buddhism, so as to complete Zen Buddhism and promote Buddhism."
"However, when he was traveling to the bank of Luoshui River, he encountered a poisonous snake and died. His efforts failed, and his body was buried in Xiong'er Mountain. It is a pity that his wish to travel westward failed to leave the Central Plains."
Li Daoxuan immediately asked, "That's not right. Bodhidharma has a golden body and must have extraordinary magical powers. How could he be bitten to death by a poisonous snake?"
Sanle looked solemn and said: "Because he met not only a poisonous snake, but also a person."
"who?"
"The former Sixth Heaven Demon King Bo Xun is now Moro."
