Xuanxia

Chapter 444 Unable to refuse reasons

The ninth day of the tenth month in the nineteenth year of Qianhao in Dayan.

There are only four days left until the Cold Prayer Festival.

On this day, Huixin, who had been away from the temple for a long time, quietly returned to Jinchan Temple, but his disciple Yuanzhao, who had practiced with him for several months, disappeared after entering Beijing.

"Master Huixin! You are back."

Along the way, every monk who saw Huixin showed a look of slight surprise, and then quickly put their hands together and bowed to him.

Huixin nodded in response with a smile.

Not only the monks, but also many pilgrims in the temple seemed to know Huixin. When they saw Huixin, they were even more pious and fearful. Some even knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together in greeting, and called him "Living Buddha".

As we were walking, a monk who looked to be in his forties, wearing a bright red cassock and with a calm face, suddenly came from the opposite side of the tree-lined avenue. He looked to be in his forties and had a face as calm as water.

When she saw him, Huixin's eyes lit up slightly.

"Junior Brother Huiyuan."

He walked over and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months. Your cultivation has improved again. I believe you will be able to open the third cave in the near future and comprehend the wonders of shedding your shell."

“Amitabha.” Hui Yuan responded slowly: “Thank you, Senior Brother Hui Xin.”

The previous sadness on his face was no longer there. After being enlightened by his "inner demon", he had already let it go.

Now, he has written down all his crimes and returned to the temple to confess all his sins to the head monk Huikong.

But Huikong did not punish him.

on the contrary……

Looking at Huixin's face in front of him, Huiyuan's mind was still echoing the conversation between himself and Huikong in the Buddhist hall not long ago.

……

"Brother won't punish you, do you know why?" Huikong, who looked like a young monk, asked softly.

Hui Yuan nodded: "Yes, Senior Brother, I was originally an accomplice of Hui Xin and Hui Jue. Although I have changed my mind now, there is still no evidence of what Senior Brothers Hui Xin and Hui Jue did. I need to use myself as bait to lure them to leave evidence."

"Exactly."

Huikong smiled and said, "You can atone for your sins with merits, and then these decades of hard training will not be in vain."

"Yes." Hui Yuan lowered his head: "I wonder what you want me to do, Senior Brother?"

"Not urgent……"

Huikong said softly, "Brother, I have calculated it. Soon, someone will teach you what to do."

……

Fragments of memory flashed through Huiyuan's mind. The letter sent last night through Concubine Jing's contact channel but addressed to Concubine Zi indeed stated the next arrangements and plans.

Although, the letter asked him to lie; although, it said that monks do not gossip.

but……

Huiyuan knew that this was something he had to do.

I am already a sinner, and since someone must bear more sins and do the right thing, it can only be me.

So he looked up at Hui Xin and said softly, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

"Please speak." Huixin said with a smile.

Hui Yuan did not speak immediately, but slightly clasped his hands together, and a soft light that was almost invisible to the naked eye emanated from his body. The soft light enveloped the two of them, and also blocked the possibility of outsiders hearing their conversation.

Seeing this, Hui Xin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Is it something important?"

"It's a very important thing."

Hui Yuan said: "Brother Hui Xin should know that I have had many contacts with Concubine Jing and the Yuan family. The Yuan family also agreed to share some of their secret Buddhist teachings with me..."

"That's right." Hui Xin nodded: "I've heard that the Yuan family has some of the profound Buddhist teachings of the Milun Temple."

"Well, recently, some of the Buddhist scriptures sent by the Yuan family..."

Hui Yuan said word by word: "...there are records of the Buddha of a Hundred Disasters. Some of the words and sentences seem to correspond to the merit of the Blood Sea Robe." Hui Xin's eyes lit up.

"I should have told Brother Huijue about this directly." Huiyuan continued, "But Brother Huikong seems to have noticed something recently. He often discusses Buddhism with Brother Huijue, and it is very difficult to find an opportunity to be alone. Today, I noticed that Brother Huixin had returned, so I came to tell him."

"Brother, you did the right thing." Hui Xin smiled and said, "Please let me see the Buddhist scripture."

Hui Yuan nodded and said, "It is not good to keep these Buddhist scriptures in the temple. I put them in... Xiangyanzhai in the south of the city."

Huixin certainly knew about the relationship between Huiyuan and Concubine Jing, so he also knew something about the matter of "Wen Qingru".

Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Brother, do you want to take me there right now?"

"It all depends on what Senior Brother wants."

Hui Yuan bowed his head and said, "Junior brother, you are always available."

There is no fool among those who can cultivate to the cave heaven realm.

Although he had been deceived and bewitched before, it was more because he had inner demons and went astray. In a sense, it was his own spiritual heart that had problems, which is why he was guided by Huixin and others.

But after his mind changed, Huiyuan no longer had this problem.

He also knew that if he wanted to lead Huixin into the preset trap, he couldn't be impatient and had to take it slow.

As expected, Hui Xin smiled and said, "This matter cannot be rushed. I just returned to the temple. If I don't go to see the two brothers and then leave the temple in a hurry, it will be too unreasonable."

"Brother, what you said is very true." Hui Yuan also smiled and said, "Then when you need anything, please come to me."

That was enough for them to say, and after the two nodded to each other, they brushed past each other and went in two different directions.

That night.

Xiangyanzhai, in the south of Beijing.

It was late at night, and the rouge shop was of course closed, but the lights were still on in the courtyard, and there were dim shadows through the windows, and one could vaguely see that the people in the courtyard had not yet fallen asleep, and were still busy with something.

A light breeze blew by, and Huixin's figure suddenly appeared outside Xiangyanzhai.

"Junior Brother Huiyuan..."

He murmured to himself, "Although I have been away from Beijing for several months, you have been very close to Brother Huikong recently. How could I not know?"

He raised his head and looked towards Xiangyanzhai. His usually calm and peaceful gaze became a little complicated.

Having said that, he still decided to take a look.

No reason, just because he couldn't be sure whether Huiyuan had already rebelled and joined Huikong.

After meeting Huiyuan today, he naturally went to look for Huijue.

But as mentioned before, Huijue was dragged by Huikong to "talk and chant Buddha's name", and he hardly had much opportunity to be alone.

The information provided by the familiar disciples of Qianfang Baixiao Tower only stated that Huiyuan had been to Xiangyanzhai not long ago and had a brief encounter with Li Jingzhe. The rest of the details were unknown.

Of course, Qianfang Baixiaolou also found out that Fu Qingzhou and the female disciples of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple have often appeared nearby in recent times... but no one knows what they specifically did.

From the known information, Huixin finds it difficult to conclude that "Huiyuan has betrayed."

What's worse is that because of Huikong's intervention, he was unable to communicate with Brother Huijue and could only make the decision on his own.

"If you don't come, if there is really a secret chakra Buddhist scripture in this courtyard, you will miss it."

Hui Xin murmured, "But if I come here with Junior Brother Hui Yuan, I'm afraid it's a trap... Then I will go here myself and investigate secretly."

There was another reason why he had the courage to take the risk alone.

That means he is strong enough.

In the four realms of Dongtian, even if you look at the whole world, there are only a dozen people who can fight with him... In addition, there are various powerful hidden cards in the Golden Cicada Temple, even if there are people with a stronger realm than him, he may not be unable to win.

In this case, even if there is a trap, he dares to take a chance.

After all, the so-called "Milun Temple Buddhist Scripture" was indeed an offer he could not refuse...
