From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 148: Uncovered Conference
Both mice were wearing coarse cloth jackets and hats on their heads, looking a bit like beasts in human clothing.

When they saw the rosary, the two mice looked at each other and refused to let it go.

"We are in the Taoist Association of Immortality. All the people here are rich. You can't become an immortal without money! You two should tell us your names first!" said Black Rat.

"Yes! Tell me your name!" Red Rat was obviously a man without his own opinion and could only follow the others in shouting.

"Rich people? You don't know gold and jade! We two are immortals!" Meng Yuan sneered and said, "I am Fei Yuan Zhenjun of Wu Ji Cave in Wu Ji Mountain! This is Wan Shou Emperor, the supreme elder of Wu Ji Cave in Wu Ji Mountain!"

Meng Yuan sneered and knocked on Black Rat's head with the handle of his knife, saying, "If you offend me, the Taoist, I will be kind and at most give you two slaps in the face!"

He pointed at Mingyue and continued, "But if you offend the Wanshou Emperor, she will get angry and will throw you two into the alchemy furnace to refine it for 49 days. Then she will open the furnace and turn it over, and refine it for another 81 days. Only then will you realize how powerful she is!"

The two mice looked at each other and couldn't help but look at the bright moon.

Mingyue was standing with a sword in her arms. She glanced at Meng Yuan with a slightly helpless look on her face, as if to say: I really can't do anything about you.

Then she was seen with her hands on her hips, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes becoming increasingly cold, and she looked like she was not in a good mood to talk to.

The two rats originally wanted to take some personal trouble, but seeing that Mingyue looked like someone who could not be provoked, and seemed ready to start refining the elixir at any time, they dared not say anything.

"Please, please, please! Please come in! We'll be there at Hulu Mountain!" The two rats hurriedly made way.

After Meng Yuan and Ming Yue walked away, Heishu stamped his feet in anger.

"What's wrong, Boss Shu?" asked Red Rat.

"That Fei Yuan Zhenjun thinks we are country bumpkins!" Black Rat was very angry. "He said Wuji Mountain and Wuji Cave, why not Xiaomao Mountain and Xiaomao Cave? Does he think we are really ignorant? If I didn't know where his house is, I would have stolen all his lamp oil!"

"We'll find out his background later!" Red Rat was getting anxious. "How dare he lie to me, Mr. Bei! I really thought he was an immortal! Why don't we take advantage of the Taoist meeting to steal all his lamp oil, rice jar and silver! Steal them all!"

"Forget it, forget it, Bei Lao Er." Black Rat actually advised, but still said with contempt: "I don't think that Master Fei Yuan is rich. Maybe his family can't even afford lamp oil! The name of Master Fei Yuan is also nonsense!"

"Even their names are fake?" Red Rat was anxious again, "Boss Shu, should we send a letter? Let the king catch them both!"

"How much money do you make a month? Why take this risk?" Boss Shu was very opinionated and whispered, "We just come here to earn some money and have fun. When the Dao meeting is over, if the Rat King leaves, no one will take care of us."

"What will the Taoist Association do if True Lord Fei Yuan causes a big disturbance?" asked the red-skinned rat.

"What does it have to do with us?" Boss Shu was very knowledgeable. "It doesn't matter who becomes the king. Just change the king! When the time comes, won't we still have to be patrol officers? We will also have to contribute to the business and herbal medicine sales with the people down the mountain!"

"That's right!" The red-skinned mouse was easily convinced, "It's a pity that no one will be able to help!"

The two mice were arguing happily, but Meng Yuan and Ming Yue had already walked forward half a mile.

When we arrived at the gourd mouth of Hulu Mountain, we saw monsters blocking the way again.

After some deception, I entered the upper part of Gourd Mountain, and then continued forward, passing the waist of the gourd, which was the lower part.

Climbing up the mountain at the foot of Hulu Mountain, you can see a wide plain area with simple stone and wooden houses among the trees around it.

At this moment, the top of the mountain was extremely lively, with all kinds of monsters flying in the sky and walking on the ground.

There are even some monsters that have already reached a certain level. Some are wearing monk's robes, some are wearing Taoist robes, and some are wearing Confucian caps. It is a mess and a foul smell.

In addition to the monsters, there were also people. Most of them stood in pairs, but there were also several people standing together.

Meng Yuan and Ming Yue were wearing bamboo hats, and no one wanted to look at them. Those who attended the meeting just stayed on the top of the mountain, looking at a high platform in front of the cliff.

"Master Kurong is here!" someone shouted loudly, very excited.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the top of the mountain, and everyone rushed forward, craning their necks to look at the platform.

Meng Yuan and Ming Yue stood together, neither moving forward, but just watching from afar.

Soon, an old monk in a tattered cassock climbed onto the platform, sat cross-legged, and chanted the Buddha's name.

The top of the mountain immediately became silent, and everyone came to listen to Master Kurong preach the Dharma.

Meng Yuan and Ming Yue looked at each other. It wasn't even the seventh day of the seventh month yet, but this monster knew to invite someone to warm up the place. "It's hard to get rid of animal nature, and human nature doesn't exist." The Great Master Ku Rong said compassionately, sighing, "I've seen all kinds of things in the three days I've been here. What I'm talking about today is abstaining from sex and desire."

"Amitabha." The Bodhisattva Kurong closed his eyes slightly, "The verse says: Greed, anger, and ignorance are all painful, lust and desire are obstacles and it is difficult to follow. If the mind is clear and free from worries, let go of worldly ties and you will be free. The three thousand prosperous things are all dreams, a thought of compassion turns into a clear breeze."

The old monk started talking immediately, and everyone present was intoxicated.

Meng Yuan held the knife in his hand, supported the handle, and activated his divine power to burn his heart.

For a moment, it was as if as the Bodhisattva Ku Rong was preaching Buddhism, Meng Yuan felt a fire burning in his heart, burning away many of the floating dusts.

Meng Yuan was calm in body and mind, and had no obstacles, but he felt more and more dust looming over his heart.

Meng Yuan grabbed a strand of it and said, "Meng Shuangjue, since you are my bodyguard, do you only know how to protect me? Although I am a married woman, I am no different from a widow. I often wake up in loneliness in the middle of the night. There are thousands of ways to relieve the loneliness in my heart. Come and help me get rid of my loneliness."

He grabbed another strand, "I'm inside you, it's your turn this time!"

There was a voice as sweet as orchid, "Meng Lang, why are you so hungry?"

"No, no." Meng Yuan urged his burning heart to burn away all the dust. "I am lustful but not lewd. It has always been a matter of mutual affection. Even if I have feelings, I will go straight to the point instead of having these boring thoughts in secret!"

"Another thought? They are playing these silly tricks again, trying to teach me a lesson!" Meng Yuan looked at Ming Yue and said with a smile, "Miss, are you okay?"

"The other party's Taoism is no worse than Jie Kaiping's. You just lost your mind for a moment." Mingyue glanced at Meng Yuan and said, "The only thing I love in my heart is the sword. How can love between a man and a woman move my heart? Meng Xiaoqi, you have good talent and a bright future, but you are too greedy."

Last time, someone was so confused by the thoughts of the seven sufferings of life that he almost wanted to die!
"I understand." Meng Yuan agreed immediately.

This Master Ku Rong is a human being, not a demon, so he is certainly not Qing Guangzi's brother, so the two of them just waited quietly.

After an hour, Master Kurong finished preaching the Buddha, but the audience on the mountain were still intoxicated and seemed still immersed in the bliss of the Buddha's kingdom.

After a long time, everyone finally woke up. Everyone had a sad look on their face, and their eyes seemed to have seen through many worldly desires.

At this time, a black bear demon wearing a tattered cassock came forward and prostrated himself, "Great Master, the true Buddha!"

"Amitabha, there is no need to be polite, fellow practitioner." Master Kuruo smiled slightly.

"Excuse me, where do you come from, Great Master?" the black bear demon asked as he got up.

The Bodhisattva Ku Rong smiled compassionately, chanted the Buddha's name, and said, "I came from the Western Buddhist country and came to the Eastern land to preach the scriptures and teach."

Those who came to participate in the Taoist meeting had received invitations and had some knowledge. Whether they were human or demon, they all exclaimed in amazement.

This place is located in the southwest of Qing Kingdom, and Qing Kingdom has always disparaged Buddhism. People from the Western Buddhist Kingdom have rarely visited Qing Kingdom.

Now that he has come here and openly announced his identity, it shows how bold he is.

"The Western Buddhist Kingdom?" The black bear demon opened his eyes wide, with infinite yearning in his eyes. He knelt down and asked, "May I ask, Great Master, which Buddha is the highest-ranking in the Buddhist Kingdom?"

"The Western Buddha is the second-level Buddha in Buddhism." said the Bodhisattva Kuruo.

"Second grade? How high should that be?" Black Bear was stunned.

"The paths of Buddhism have diverged since the fourth level, and the dispute over gradual enlightenment has its root here. The second level of Buddhism has achieved the status of a bodhisattva. The words come true, the body is made of gold and jade, and one is immortal and indestructible, and his thoughts are indestructible." The Master Kuruo still smiled as usual.

"In the Western Buddhist country, is it true that everyone aspires to be a Buddha? Is everyone a Buddha?" Suddenly someone shouted loudly.

"Amitabha, my Western Buddhist country is a land of bliss where everyone can become a Buddha." said the Bodhisattva Kuruo.

"Great Master, how can everyone become a Buddha?" The black bear moved forward and looked up at the platform.

All the participants in the meeting also came forward.

"Those who become Buddhas first will guide those who become Buddhas later, and finally they will all reach paradise. Everyone will be a Buddha!" ​​said the Bodhisattva Kurong.

"That's wrong!" Suddenly a voice came from the mountains, vaguely coming from nowhere.
