After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Chang Sheng did not answer. He knew that Zhang Mo was just comforting himself, because all the monks he saw along the way had dark circles under their eyes and were drowsy. This meant that the Shaolin Temple had been tortured for more than a day or two. Not to mention taking a breather, even sleeping for a few days may not be able to calm down.
The appearance of these two people made the monks catching toads in the square very embarrassed. As the saying goes, a family's scandal should not be made public. Shaolin Temple is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism and a majestic place. But now something like this has happened. If it spreads, it will definitely become the gossip of people in the world. In order to cover up the topics and jokes, the monks could only talk loudly to the toad while busy, saying that the land and water dharma would help the six realms, and they could not favor one over the other. They were sent away just to make room for other living beings who needed salvation.
The two of them didn't know whether the monks were embarrassed or not, but such concealing words made Chang Sheng and Zhang Mo very embarrassed. The so-called Water and Land Dharma Assembly was just a cover. After all, the dignified Buddhist pure land was full of crows. They are all toads. They have lost all their majesty and dignity. They have to find an excuse to cover up.
Not only were there toads everywhere in the square, but there were also toads on the steps where the two of them were standing. Seeing the toads jumping on Zhang Mo's feet, Changsheng felt disgusted, and then he extended his spiritual energy and swept away all the toads nearby.
Chang Sheng's move directly injured the lives of dozens of toads. The monks in the square all saw Chang Sheng's move, but they just pretended not to see it and even cheered secretly deep in their hearts. The crows and toads all over the mountains and fields have tormented them these days. The pain was unspeakable and extremely irritable.
There are many things that can make people irritated, and noisy noises and poor sleep are undoubtedly the two most serious ones. It is true that monks are compassionate, but they have trouble sleeping and eating due to the tossing, which makes them unable to be pure, no matter how good their temper is. Will be irritable and angry.
Toads don't have eyes. Just as Changsheng flew away, a nearby toad jumped over again. Seeing this, Changsheng took action again. This time, he directly swung away all the toads in front, back and left of the two people, killing and injuring more than a hundred people.
Changsheng's movements were so obvious and so large that the monks in the square could not pretend to be blind. The leading monk clasped his hands and chanted, "Amitabha, please be merciful, don't commit murder in vain."
Changsheng ignored the monk, but activated the pure Yin spiritual energy to freeze all the toads on the steps and in the square to death.
Seeing this, all the monks clasped their hands and lowered their heads, and kept chanting. These toads were really annoying. It would be fine if they just lay there honestly. However, they were not honest. They would jump around and jump around. But they They also screamed and screamed, and a large area of the immortals froze to death in a matter of seconds, which made them very happy. However, they naturally could not clap their hands and cheer, they could only bow their heads and sing Buddha to maintain their compassion.
Zhang Mo stood there and watched Chang Sheng killing toads everywhere with a smile. She was eight years older than Chang Sheng. In her eyes, Chang Sheng was just a young boy with a childlike innocence. What Chang Sheng did was in line with his age. Truth is the best, and she doesn't want Changsheng to pretend to be serious and steady.
Changsheng moved quickly throughout the square, disturbing the crows in the temple and in the forest. Countless crows fluttered their wings and flew from everywhere, circling and making noisy noises above the temple.
Chang Sheng frowned suddenly when he saw this, but this burst of noise had already made him upset. It was hard to imagine how the monks in the temple had endured these days. Since they had already taken action, they might as well do the good thing to the end, send the Buddha to the West, and directly send those The crows were also driven away.
Thinking of this, he immediately stepped on the ground to use his strength, leaped into the air, activated the pure Yang spiritual energy from the air to generate hot flames from outside his body, and used the bathing fire to fly towards the crows in the sky.
At this time, the sun has set. The bathing fire volley performed by Changsheng is not only extremely dazzling, but also accompanied by scorching heat. Crows scream and fly around wherever they go, fleeing in all directions. Those who are too late to dodge will be directly burned to death by the flames.
In fact, the monks in the square had already guessed his identity when Changsheng activated the pure Yin spiritual energy to cleanse the toads. After all, only the legendary Hunyuan Divine Art could emit such cold spiritual energy, and only the heroic Prince Li Changsheng could use the Hunyuan Divine Art. Talent can be displayed.
Seeing Changsheng covered in fire and chasing crows from the sky above the temple, the monks in the square secretly rejoiced. One of them was so excited that he even cheered loudly.
Realizing that the fellow disciples around him were looking at him with frowns, the monk realized that he had made a mistake, and in a hurry, he hurriedly made up for it, "Okay, cruel!"
Motives and purposes determine methods and means. If Changsheng is just to drive away these crows, he will not fly so fast to give the crows time to escape, but his purpose is to kill as many as possible, so that he can fly It happened very quickly, and the direct result was that a large number of crows who had no time to dodge were burned to death instantly.
After just one round trip, most of the crows in the sky above the temple were gone. After another round trip, there was not a single crow in the sky above the temple. Those who were lucky enough to survive screamed and flew away into the distance.
The crows that had been bothering the monks in the temple for many days suddenly disappeared, and the area around the temple immediately became much cleaner. Although there were still toads squawking, they were not as noisy as before, causing headaches.
After Chang Sheng dissipated the flames and settled down to the ground, Zhang Mo smiled and said, "You are a prince of the imperial court. How do you behave like this when you fly around in the sky above a temple?"
After driving away the crows, Changsheng was in a good mood, "These flat-haired beasts specialize in bullying honest people, so it's up to a villain like me to punish them."
Although Zhang Mo said this, in fact, deep down in his heart, he did not object to Changsheng doing this, because she was also a practitioner. Practitioners all have a common characteristic, that is, they like silence, and meaningless noise and noise are their favorite. Annoying things.
"I hope the master won't blame you." Zhang Mo said casually.
Changsheng approached Zhang Mo and whispered, "Don't worry, it won't happen. In fact, the monks in the temple had already seen me when I flew back and forth for the first time. If they really wanted to stop me, they would have come forward long ago."
Hearing what Changsheng said, Zhang Mo smiled and said nothing more.
Changsheng continued, "Actually, I don't know much about Shaolin Temple. I just took this opportunity to see what the atmosphere of Shaolin Temple is like."
"Oh?" Zhang Mo looked at Changsheng with questioning eyes.
Chang Sheng explained in a low voice, "People in the world have a common problem, that is, they don't come forward when things happen, but they hope that others will come forward, and they sit back and wait to benefit. There are evil people who will be punished by evil people, and things that are not of their own concern are ignored. This is what people say when they clean up their own doors. They all hope that they will get extra benefits without paying. This time the bad guy asked me to do it, and the monks in Shaolin Temple benefited. Let’s see how they react to me burning crows later. If they criticize me, they are a bunch of hypocrites, but if they pretend to be deaf and dumb, then they still have some conscience, at least they are not scolding and cursing."
Zhang Mo was amused by Chang Sheng's words. He tilted his head to the side and chuckled.
"Why hasn't Monk Zhike come out yet?" Changsheng was a little impatient in waiting.
"Don't worry, you have a distinguished status, and the person in charge of the temple will come to greet you in person. You have to give them time to change clothes." Zhang Mo said with a smile.
Feeling that what Zhang Mo said made sense, Chang Sheng continued to wait patiently.
While the two of them were waiting, the monks in the square were not idle and continued to fill the wooden barrels with toads. Previously, the toads were all alive. Not only were they very slippery, but they would jump around when caught. Now they are all The longevity was frozen hard, so it was much easier to pack it away.
After waiting for a while, footsteps finally came from the temple. Judging from the footsteps, there were a lot of people, at least a dozen people.
Hearing the footsteps, Changsheng and Zhang Mo turned north and faced the mountain gate.
Not long after, the door of the temple opened, and a dozen monks wearing bright red cassocks, headed by Tongchen, walked out slowly. These monks were quite young, and the cassocks they wore were of high standard. They were undoubtedly elders in the temple.
Changsheng originally wanted to meet Tongchen and others solemnly, but when he saw that these monks also had dark circles under their eyes, he suddenly felt worried. Fortunately, Zhang Mo at the side pulled his sleeves, and Changsheng responded in time. God, I never lost my composure with a wry smile.
Tongchen naturally knew Changsheng and Zhang Mo. After standing still, he clasped his hands and said, "Namo Amitabha, the monks of Shaolin Temple respectfully welcome the prince and his wife."
"The heroic prince Li Changsheng, together with his wife, pays homage to all the masters." Changsheng performed the layman's hand-over-hand ceremony.
Zhang Mo did not use Taoist etiquette to salute everyone, but followed Changsheng and bowed her hands to the eminent monks. The reason why she did not practice Taoist etiquette was because according to Taoist etiquette, Taoist priests did not enter the temple. At this time, her identity was that of the imperial court An imperial envoy, not a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain.
"Your Majesty and Princess, please come to the temple to serve tea." Tongchen invited the guests sideways.
"Masters, please." Changsheng returned the gift and was about to take a step when suddenly a monk's compassionate sigh came from the square, "I advise you not to kill the bird on the branch. The son is waiting in the nest for his mother to return. Amitabha, it's good, it's good."
Hearing this person's words, Chang Sheng suddenly frowned. This guy had been feeling emotional for a long time, but he was not feeling emotional at all later. However, after Tongchen and others appeared, he became emotional and boasted that his intentions were obvious, but he was really hypocritical.
The monk who spoke was young, and was undoubtedly a junior in the temple. Chang Sheng originally did not want to meet this person, but in the end he could not hold back and turned around, "Master is compassionate and compassionate, which makes me feel ashamed. However, Master lives in the temple all year round. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, you don't have to suffer in the world, you don't know the six realms of sentient beings, don't you know that birds like crows lay eggs in March and leave the nest in June. It's almost July now, and the chicks have already left the nest. Your worries are really unnecessary. "
The monk who spoke did not expect that Chang Shenggui, a prince, would be on the same level as him. He was stunned on the spot for a moment, extremely embarrassed.
As the abbot of Shaolin, Tongchen couldn't blame his fellow monks at this time, so he had to raise his hand to invite again, "Your Majesty, please."
Changsheng Chong Tongchen nodded and thanked the eminent monks who came out to greet him, then he and Zhang Mo walked through the door and entered the temple...
