If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 322 The Demon Star and the Saint

The next morning, Tianbaoju.

"I heard that Princess Qianyue was the king's favorite daughter. Now that the princess has died tragically, the king still has the mood to hold a grand birthday banquet?" Xiaoyu leaned against the door frame and asked Shaoyao who was packing her luggage in the room.

Shaoyao said as she folded the clothes, "I remember when the immortal Lao celebrated his birthday, Princess Qianyue was planning to invite you to Luodu to perform the 'Ghostly Sword Dance' for the king.

The birthday had already been decided at that time, and it is too late to change it now."

Hei Mei said calmly: "Just by hearing the title of 'Thirteenth Princess', you can tell how many children the King of Shu has.

Princess Qianyue is the one with the most outstanding talent and the greatest hope of becoming an immortal, so the King of Shu shows his favorite for her.

But in reality, the time they lived together was not as long as the time Li Xianzhi spent in the palace."

"Although we have been together for a short time, our feelings may not be shallow." Shaoyao said.

Hei Mei said, "I am stating the reasons why their relationship is shallow. 'Shallow relationship' is a fact I have witnessed with my own eyes, there is no need to argue."

"Okay, you're right. I'm about to get on the boat. Come and help me pack the case."

"Ting ting ting~~" Fat Moler, a Kunlun slave, trotted over, carrying a large wooden box filled with clothes, and shouted, "Miss Yu, there are people outside the door looking for you to chant sutras for the deceased. There are so many people."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Please tell them that after I finish breakfast and send your young lady out, I will go and help them to pray for the deceased."

Wen Zhiruo stared at her face and frowned, "You seem to be enjoying it? Aren't you going to continue lurking in the market and practicing the "Village Girl Sword"? "

Xiao Yu said: "The Village Girl Sword is just a byproduct of my research on Xiantian Yishu, not the main purpose.

I can be a country girl walking in the market, or I can be a nun who prays for the souls of the dead.

The village girl sees all kinds of life in the market, and the young nun is also experiencing life in the market.

No matter where I am, it can be my place of practice."

She really isn't pretending.

In order to forge sword bones, she needs to create more sword techniques and comprehend more sword intent.

To comprehend the meaning of sword requires a lot of perception, perception of nature, of life, and of mortals.

Sitting in the room, even with the wisdom of Da Mie Ba and Kun Peng, it is difficult to comprehend the sword intent out of thin air. The essence of sword intent is to integrate perception and emotion into sword moves, so that sword moves have soul.

She used "The Sword of the Village Girl" to integrate herself into the market, becoming a village girl, a maid, a peddler, a traveling merchant, a porter, and a greedy little street girl. She was experiencing life in the market and distilling the experiences of all living beings.

These experiences and insights eventually became the soil for the germination of sword intent.

"Master Wen Zong, since you are not planning to go to Luodu to celebrate the king's birthday, why don't you come with me to chant sutras to pray for the deceased? Perhaps you will have new insights into Confucianism and Taoism." Xiao Yu suggested.

Wen Zhiruo sneered, "You are a brainless person. You read the Buddhist scriptures and comprehend the Confucian principles. How dare you say that?"

Xiao Yu said seriously: "You should ask - what Confucian principles have you understood."

While wandering around the city, her righteousness and integrity grew significantly.

The total amount is still not much, and the level is not high either. After all, she has read too few Confucian classics.

But the growth rate of his upright energy was more than ten times faster than when he was studying hard behind closed doors.

If she were to practice the Dou family's "Haoran Zhengqi" based on her talent for studying and the resources and environment she had, it would take her at least one or two hundred years to reach Dou Yilin's level.

Now she feels that she can surpass Dou Yilin before she turns fifty. Uh, if she spends fifty years practicing other immortal martial arts, she probably can kill an immortal.

But there is no way. "Haoran Zhengqi" is a slow and steady process. "Upgrading experience" depends entirely on reading and understanding. You need to read more and gain more insights. You cannot cheat by using Da Mie Ba.

Wandering around the streets, just through practice, I can understand the principles in the book more deeply.

If Heimei is willing to partner with her, she might become a great scholar before she turns thirty.

Hei Mei said in a positive tone: "Since you said that, you must have realized something, but I don't need to ask, I know that what you realized must not be the Confucian way."

"What do you mean by 'the orthodox path of Confucianism'? When I become a Confucian immortal, even if I burp, it will be the 'holy sound' of you Confucian scholars." Xiao Yu said disapprovingly.

Hei Mei sneered and said, "We Confucian scholars seek truth and respect truth, not power.

If you can't make sense, even if you put a sword on the neck of a Confucian scholar, a true Confucian scholar will look down on you with contempt."

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Teacher Wen, let's make an appointment to compete. Not only will we compete in righteousness, but also in morality and reason."

"We can compete now." Hei Mei was not afraid at all.

"Now I'm going out to chant sutras to pray for the deceased. Tonight, we'll have the final battle on the top of the tower." Xiaoyu said.

Shaoyao asked, "You are standing on the street chanting sutras without hesitation, aren't you worried that the demon cicada will suddenly jump out and smack you to death?"

You know what, Xiaoyu is really a little worried now.

She found that from yesterday morning until now, not a single celestial messenger or one of the Four Guardians had flown over her head.

This made her very uncomfortable.

Of course she felt uncomfortable being monitored by the Heavenly Envoy and the Four Guardians.

But when she saw them wandering nearby, she could let down her guard a little and no longer worry about the cicada suddenly jumping out.

"If he dared to jump out when I was chanting sutras to pray for the deceased, I would have shouted, 'The elder Jinchan, a disciple of Tathagata Buddha, has killed someone.'

If there is enough time, I will continue to howl, "Buddha, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, look, Jin Chanzi is going to kill the nun." I guess the expression of the demon cicada must be very interesting at that time, and the good men and women around must be stunned. "Xiao Yu laughed.

The expressions of Shaoyao and Heimei now are already very interesting.

"The more you shout, the angrier he gets, and the more he wants to kill you."

Xiao Yu said: "The more he kills me, the more I will scream. Anyway, I only have one life and can only be killed once.

By the way, not only do I have to shout, I also have to print a batch of notices and notices in advance.

If the demon cicada causes any trouble, I will immediately send a notice to let all the people in the city know that the Buddha's disciples want to kill me."

Fangdan is an ancient leaflet, which is usually not distributed to passers-by but posted on the streets.

Tianmen Town has a developed business and shop orders are very common.

"With Yaochan's means, I'm afraid you can't even throw out the order. In my opinion, you might as well start shouting now. Anyway, you are not afraid of death." Heimei said.

"Not being afraid of death doesn't mean I want to die. Yaochan assassinating me personally is only the worst case scenario.

It is very likely that Elder Jin Chan, who is highly respected and puts justice first, will not allow Yao Chan to show his face in front of the world again. But if I shout in advance, Jin Chanzi and Yao Chan, who originally had no intention of dealing with me, will definitely not mind letting me "get what I want".

As for Fangdan"

Xiao Yu propped up his chin and thought for a while, "I got it. I'll print a few packages of street signs in advance, wrap them up in cloth, find the street with the most people in Tianmen Town, and hang the cloth packages on the roofs facing the street.

If I didn’t go to the shop owner to say hello one day, they would cut the rope and let the bills in the cloth bag fly everywhere.”

"It's too troublesome and easy to make mistakes. Why don't I help you promote it? If one day you suddenly pass away, I will shout 'Jin Chanzi killed Yu Fengxian'." Shaoyao said with a smile.

Xiao Yu's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't even think about it, and don't say anything like that again.

Even if I really die, you should live your life as usual, don't say too much, don't ask too many questions. "

Shaoyao nodded sadly and said, "I was just joking, don't worry."

She wanted to help Xiaoyu, but she also understood that her desire to help was a burden and a drag on Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu looked at her gently and said with a smile: "I am not without support, the Divine Mace Taibao will help me.

That day, Taoist Qingsong also gave me a Earth Escape Talisman, which is also automatically triggered when encountering danger."

The Earth Escape Talisman was just a comforting word, and now it can no longer be her life-saving trump card.

Qingsong gave her the Earth Escape Talisman that day mainly to deal with the "Eight Immortals of the West".

I am powerless against the demon cicada.

Last night, Akajura was chanting sutras for the monks who died in Honnenji Temple.

Today Xiaoyu went to Honeng Temple specifically to find him and asked him to be the "chief monk". She volunteered to become one of the monks chanting sutras.

By the evening, Xiaoyu could no longer count how many dead people he had saved.

But she felt fine.

It’s not that I gained any Buddhist insights from chanting Buddhist scriptures for a long time.

The family of the deceased was truly comforted and the pain of losing their loved one was obviously alleviated, making her feel that her day's work was not in vain.

"Xiao Fengxian, I have reported your matter to the Buddha Dipankara. I have told you about your desire to seek Buddha, your situation, and even your desire to worship Qiye.

The Buddha has begun to pay attention to you, and perhaps you will soon be blessed by him."

The old monk also felt very good.

He didn't blame Yu Fengxian at all for stealing the limelight from Honeng Temple.

Because Yu Fengxian never stole the Honeng Temple or his limelight.

She was enhancing his reputation as the "holy monk Chijura" - she claimed from the beginning that he was the one who taught her the Buddhist scriptures, and she always took the lead in presiding over the funeral ceremony.

If he didn't want to, she would be very willing to call him "master and disciple".

"What does it mean to receive the Buddha's blessing?" Xiaoyu asked.

"Just protect you silently." Chijuro said with a smile.

Xiaoyu wanted to raise two middle fingers at him.

"Master, how far is it from Tianmen Town to Lingshan?"

Chijuro sighed, "It's very far. Even if we don't take a detour, it's still a hundred thousand miles away."

Xiao Yu asked again: "I want to go to Lingshan Mountain in the west and go to Nalanda Temple to seek the true scriptures. Is there any quick and safe way?"

If other avenues fail, she might really go to the West to seek refuge with the Buddha - provided that the journey is safe.

In "Journey to the West", the Buddhist and Taoist leaders have obviously become "corrupt together".

The big guys put their own interests first and do not differentiate between Buddhism and Taoism, but they deceive the lower-class people who believe in them by talking about some great cause and some orthodox Taoist sects or foreign Buddhist sects.

If the Taoist leaders shouted "Follow me in the battle between Buddhism and Taoism" and gave her the opportunity to join in and follow the charge, she would be willing to be a "young general Yu" who shouted "loyalty! Honesty!"

But now she doesn't even have the chance to join in.

Chijuro was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that given her current situation, it was normal for her to want to seek refuge in Lingshan.

"There is no shortcut." The old monk said solemnly: "If you want to go to Lingshan to worship Buddha, the hardships and tribulations along the way are all manifestations of your sincerity.

Be sincere and your work will be successful. Don't try to cut corners.

Otherwise, even if you reach the West, you will not be able to see Lingshan Mountain and the Buddha. "

Xiao Yu said: "I am not afraid of ordinary hardships, but I am afraid of bad people targeting me."

The old monk thought for a moment and told her the names of more than thirty places and temples in one breath.

Then he said: "These temples are all near the places of practice of Bodhisattvas or Arhats, and are protected by Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

When you pass by nearby, you can go there to rest and seek shelter. The evil spirits should not dare to harm you."

should?

But as for the monsters and demons that Tang Monk encountered on his journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, you are honest if you tell me "should"!

Xiaoyu expressed his gratitude to the old monk with a smile on his face.

Then she went to Xianyun Temple.

"Go and see for yourself, and think for yourself. You don't need to come to me."

As soon as they met, the old Taoist priest said something incomprehensible.

"What am I looking at?" Xiaoyu was confused.

The old Taoist priest asked, "Aren't you here to ask me about the Wang family and Xue family?"

"Wang family, Xue family." Xiao Yu took a while to react, "You mean Sister Cui'er? What happened to her?"

"Last night, a big sun set into the backyard of Wang's family. Golden light shone brightly and the whole garden was filled with strange fragrance. All the neighbors were alarmed. Everyone said that a 'saint' was reincarnated into the Wang family!" said the dog-meat Taoist priest with a strange look on his face.
