Xiao Yazhi hurried back to Huanhu Mountain and reported the Guanzhu's reply to Master. Teng Shangyun was astonished and also felt a little headache. Although Shen Yuanqiong is nominally the elder of the Three Saints Sect, he listens to the tune rather than the announcement on many matters, and may not even be able to tune the tune. This time, he was upright and said, "The soul-refining skill is caused by me, and the disaster is caused by me." It is my responsibility to treat mortals. If someone is mad, he should be killed as a warning to others. There will be no mercy." There seemed to be no reason to stop him. However, it is not easy for the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism to jointly draft a charter. Although the Sansheng Sect is the leader of the Taoism sect, it is unwilling to offend the public and push itself to the forefront.
Teng Shangyun thought for a long time and said to Xiao Yazhi: "The heaven and the earth are unkind. They regard all things as stupid dogs. They strive to be first in the road. If they don't advance, they will retreat. I can't do this, I don't want to do it, and I can't do it. But after all, Shen Guanzhu is my third Elder of the Holy Sect, if he insists on having his own way, what can he do?"
Xiao Yazhi had already made plans along the way. When her master asked about it, she threw out the prepared manuscript: "Master Huoyun brought out a bunch of crazy casual cultivators. Elder Shen hates evil and will not show mercy, even if he is implicated. They are suspected of being innocent, but there is no way to distinguish them. As the saying goes, 'There are all kinds of birds in the forest', Buddhism may not be without some evil sycophants who take risks. You might as well inform Elder Shen and eradicate them all."
Teng Shangyun glanced at his disciple. This was a conspiracy to kill someone with a knife. He said "hmm", frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Buddhism is very strict, I'm afraid there won't be any big fish of enough weight."
Xiao Yazhi said: "Now the Soul Refining Technique has been widely circulated, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity. The practitioners are like crucian carp crossing the river, but only a few can practice it. Why not throw the original 'Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique' to Buddhism, leading them to compete for supplies and completely muddying the water?"
A smile appeared on Teng Shangyun's face, and he pointed at his disciple and said: "You are a little girl who talks sweetly and has a sword in your heart. You have many tricks of calculating people, and you have never failed!"
Xiao Yazhi said with a smile: "Isn't this just sharing the worries for the teacher! Elder Shen's behavior is...how to say, unscrupulous. Instead of having a conflict, it is better to divert the trouble to the east and let Buddhism worry."
Teng Shangyun said: "If he really pokes a hole in the sky, what will happen to the Three Saints Sect?"
Xiao Yazhi said: "Both parties have sold well, and both parties have agreed. Elder Shen is not an elder of the Three Saints Sect. Even if the Buddhist sect vents its anger on others, it cannot wipe out all the Taoist sects!"
Teng Shangyun laughed unconsciously and said: "Elder Shen made his own decision and took over the elders of many sects. In the end, he untied the Three Saints Sect. You strongly advocated turning a blind eye and letting him sell more. ’, have you anticipated today’s predicament?”
Xiao Yazhi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I don't know, how can that be possible! My disciple just feels that Elder Shen is rebellious and insists on his own way. If he restrains him, it will only break his face. It is better to pretend not to know, so that he can move forward and retreat freely."
The two masters and apprentices plotted for a long time, investigated one by one, and finally selected Laoya Temple. The Laoya Temple is located in the Western Region. Although it belongs to the lineage of Buddhism, it runs counter to the four Buddhist temples. There are many monks with half-faced flesh, great strength, and very fierce appearance. Besides chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, they eat meat, drink alcohol, and kill animals without any taboos. Xiao Yazhi secretly used methods, without anyone noticing, and stuffed the skills into the arms of a "two-legged sheep" and sent them to Laoya Temple.
On the first and fifteenth day of each month, the monks of Laoya Temple offer human heads to the Buddha, and the human flesh is divided and eaten. This is an unbreakable rule. They are extremely powerful in the Western Regions, covering the sky with one hand, and they have followers who sacrifice their lives to worship the Buddha. The old and thin men call them "Rao Bahuo", the young and young women are called "Buying Sheep", and the children call them "He Gulan". I've been looking around and there's never a shortage. This time, a "rao fire" was enshrined to the Buddha. While washing it, a roll of hand-recorded exercises fell out of his arms. The fireman quietly put it away. The "rice head" in the temple saw it. He snatched it over and looked through it. As if he had found a treasure, he dedicated it to the prison. It actually got a lot of benefits.
Although Laoya Temple is far away in the Western Region, they have also heard about the reason why the Xia Tu Buddhist and Taoist sects suppressed monsters. The "Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique" unexpectedly fell from the sky. The abbot, abbot, prisoner, and others were overjoyed. After picking through the bones and bones, I found something suitable. I quickly summoned a monk to practice according to the law and confirmed that the skills were correct. Then I woke up like a dream. I searched everywhere for bones and bones, but I didn't know how to restrain them. I was in a state of chaos in the Western Region. , God is angry and people are resentful.
There were experts backing Laoya Temple, and the four Buddhist temples were too lazy to pay attention to them. However, Xiao Yazhi always paid attention to their every move. Seeing the fire burning, she felt proud, and ran to Qifan Temple again, hinting that Elder Shen was here Go and support justice, kill one to serve as a warning to hundreds. Shen Yuanqiong had already seen through her thoughts, but he didn't tell her what she was thinking. God and Fuqi took the blame for the gifts that came to her door. He followed the other person's words and agreed, and presented an imperial edict to Xiao. Yazhi looks.
That imperial edict was personally sent by Great Xia Master Longhushan Zhang Zhenren. The edict was high-sounding. Because there were demons who acted wantonly, slaughtering mortals, breaking bones and sucking marrow, the master of Shen Guan was named "Zhengyi Chong Yuanshen Transformation Jing Ying Xianyou Zhenjun" , bestowed upon him the "Three-Day Sword of Assisting Yuan". If evil spirits do evil, he can be killed first and then played. Xiao Yazhi knew at a glance that this imperial edict was most likely instigated by Zhang Zhenren. The Longhushan lineage had two boats. He belonged to the Taoist sect, but he surrendered to the court and enjoyed the glory and wealth. If it were not for the suppression of Buddhism, the Taoist sect would He had been expelled long ago. What does it mean for Elder Shen to accept this imperial edict? Xiao Yazhi vaguely felt that the situation was a little out of control.
She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Elder Shen...is he planning to purge the evil sycophants of Buddhism and Taoism in accordance with the imperial decree?"
Shen Yuanqiong said lightly: "Isn't it appropriate?"
Inappropriate, hugely inappropriate! It's just that it's not easy to find a high-sounding reason to convince the other party. Xiao Yazhi struggled for a long time and sighed: "If Elder Shen goes on a killing spree, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he will become a public enemy of both Buddhism and Taoism. Although killing evil sycophants is not against the right path, it's just... just..."
Shen Yuanqiong said leisurely: "It's just that mortals are as small as ants. How can they be compared with monks? If they can fly to heaven, they can sacrifice blood to a country. It's not impossible. It's just that it's too short to kill a chicken to retrieve eggs. Let them be in Xia Only when the soil thrives will there be long-term benefits!”
Xiao Yazhi's heart skipped a beat, she looked a little embarrassed, and murmured: "Elder Shen's words... are not unbiased, but... it cannot be said to be unreasonable..."
Shen Yuanqiong said: "In this case, since we have different Taoism and do not want to work together, Qi Fanguan will no longer be a 'side sect' of the Three Saints Sect from now on. The few disciples who were sent before are still expected to be taken back. The position of elder will be returned as it is." , there is no need to meet each other as a courtesy anymore, let’s just settle it with one word, and we don’t owe each other anything.”
Xiao Yazhi's face changed greatly. She was about to say something when she heard the other party say: "This matter has nothing to do with you or the Three Saints Sect. It is the intention of someone Shen. If the Three Saints Sect regards Qifan Guan as their enemy, Whether it's an open fight or a secret fight, I'll take them all."
