Fairy, I really have control over you!

What little girl?

Gu Zhinan was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Fairy Pei take out the paper mandarin duck with a broken string emitting ghostly light, he finally realized what was going on.

I almost forgot about it.

God willing.

That’s why big boss Pei is so concerned about it.

Damn Buddhist King, if you don’t die, who will?

Chapter 45: Buddhist Hall Clearance, Fairy Pei Stops Pretending (5K)

After politely waiting for the old man in green to finish his maggot delicacy, Gu Zhinan stepped forward and asked:

"My dear father, that's not right. Senior Brother Chou Niu, I just heard a young man shouting from the outer city. Who is this person?"

"It's just a heretic."

The old man in green robes said grimly, "That little Taoist priest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he is very cunning and treacherous. He pretended to be a devout Buddhist before, but after being extradited to the Buddha Kingdom, he immediately exposed his heretic face and secretly incited and brainwashed the people! The most hateful thing is that he dared to slander the great king and the Venerable!"

"Those few despicable Buddhist rebels you saw just now were bewitched by this little Taoist priest!"

Gu Zhinan asked again: "Brother, it seems that the little Taoist priest also tried to brainwash you?"

"Hey."

The old man said with a look of regret: "That day, the young Taoist priest was on the tower of the outer city, inciting the people. I was also there and heard some of his treasonous words, but now I have forgotten them! The only one in my heart is Your Excellency!"

"Humph, old man, what right do you have to call them heretics? The way you just killed people is not what a compassionate and orthodox Buddhist would do?"

Fairy Bai, who had been hiding behind her lover the whole time, sneered.

"."

The old man was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he gritted his teeth angrily: "In short, anyone who opposes His Holiness is a heretic! The more these heretics oppose, the more it proves that His Holiness is great and correct!"

After hearing this.

The female sword fairy in white standing by had cold eyes and her jade hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

Gu Zhinan quickly hugged the fairy's slender waist: "Let's finish asking the questions, and then it won't be too late to kill him. Don't forget, we don't know where the sister of the kite girl and the Taoist boy's senior brother are exactly."

Hearing this, Pei Wanyu thought for a moment, put the sword back into the sheath and said, "Let go."

"Yes!"

Gu Zhinan reluctantly let go of his hand and looked at the old man, "Brother Chou Niu, since we are willing to follow you this time, we must sincerely want to learn about the Buddha Kingdom and that great Venerable. You can rest assured about this."

"That's great." The old man smiled and said, "Brother, the sun is about to set. Let's go to the Buddhist temple in the outer city and participate in the initiation ceremony without delay."

Gu Zhinan said: "But I have one last question."

"Like the rebellious young Taoist priest that Senior Brother mentioned, where is he now? According to the laws of the Buddhist Kingdom, how will he be dealt with?"

"This boy incited rebellion and committed a heinous crime. He has been taken to the Discipline Temple in the inner city. Tonight at 12:00 p.m., the Lord will personally execute him. At that time, all believers in the inner city will go to watch."

At this point, the old man smiled and said, "Brother Shenhou, if you pass the initiation ceremony later and officially become a follower of the Venerable, you will be able to enter the inner city tonight and have the opportunity to see the true appearance of the Lord!"

"Strange."

Gu Zhinan said: "Didn't you say before that only believers above the second level can enter the inner city?"

The old man explained, "In principle, this is true, but there are two types of people who, as long as they join the religion, are "quasi-second-level" believers. One type is the people who were born in the Buddha Kingdom. The Lord believes that they have been bathed in the sun-like grace of the Venerable since childhood and have not been polluted by the outside world."

"The second category is practitioners like you three, who are dedicated to their cultivation. The king likes people who are able to do practical things for the people of the Buddhist country."

"I see! We can't wait to join the Holy Church and accept the grace of the Venerable! Please lead the way, Brother."

Gu Zhinan rubbed his hands impatiently.

Pei Jianxian's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "You, the servant, are becoming more and more presumptuous. Have you asked me about this matter?"

"Fairy, please trust me again for the great success I have brought you in Qingtian County and Jinyang Prefecture, okay?"

Gu Zhinan looked at the white-robed female sword fairy with gentle yet resolute eyes: "This time, I will make you rich overnight!"

After hearing this, Fairy Pei's eyes lit up, and the anger on her face instantly disappeared. After a while, she said in a low voice, "You'd better be."

"Yes." Gu Zhinan smiled and looked at Bai Yingying beside him.

Haven't spoken yet.

"No problem! Before I went down the mountain, my master asked me to walk around more and gain some experience. From now on, I will go wherever Brother Gu goes!"

The little princess smiled sweetly, stood with her pair of white silk legs together, and imitated her and made a "Y" yes gesture.

Under the leadership of the old man.

The three of them continued along the country road, heading towards the outer city.

There was not even a decent thatched hut besides the spiritual fields and spiritual plant gardens along the way. It was a primitive jungle with no trace of human life.

On the other hand, looking at the Buddhist city in the distance, there are many pavilions and houses.

There is no so-called "urban-rural fringe" in between the two!

There is a feeling of going from the wilderness to the city!

As if he could see the doubts on the three people's faces, the old man Renchouniu took the initiative to explain: "What you three don't know is that there were several small towns outside the Buddha Kingdom that were not as desolate as this one. However, the king believed that being too urbanized would affect the progress of the first-level believers outside the city, so he ordered the surrounding buildings to be destroyed, and everything returned to its original state."

After saying this, he pointed to a few young men who were as thin as skeletons and crawled out of the spirit garden and said, "After finishing their work, spirit farmers like them all live in caves. The caves are full of portraits of the Venerable. They are really very happy."

Gu Zhinan was extremely angry when he heard this.

He really didn't expect it.

In a seemingly prosperous dynasty where everyone is coming to pay tribute and the economy is booming, there is actually such a cannibalistic hell hidden inside.

"you say."

"If we kill the king, will this place really be okay?"

A clear and ethereal female voice came to my ears.

Gu Zhinan was slightly stunned, and after a while he realized that it was Boss Pei who was sending him a message.

He turned around, looked into the pair of gorgeous phoenix eyes with a solemn look, and said seriously:

"I'm sorry, fairy. Even I am not sure about this question."

“Maybe it will be good, maybe it won’t.”

"But one thing I am sure of—"

Gu Zhinan looked towards the huge statue of the Venerable God in the inner city that was as majestic as a mountain and overlooked the entire Buddhist kingdom:

"It will win."

Outer city, the Dharma Hall.

The initiation ceremony of the Holy Dragon Sect is in full swing.

The hall was surrounded by believers with pious faces and clasped hands, waiting to be tested by the Venerable.

Seeing that this Monkey Junior Brother had a hint of impatience, the old man with the Dharma name "Ren Chou Ox" stepped forward to comfort him:

"Brother, please wait a moment. I have already told the Zen Master Kongshan that you are practitioners who have the intention to cultivate, so I will let you join the queue. You will be the next two in line! I can't wait to become a fellow disciple with you and share the delicious food together!"

Thinking of the bowl full of wriggling maggots, Gu Zhinan forced himself to suppress the urge to exclaim and nodded expressionlessly.

At this time, a ragged young man came to the center of the hall and bowed with his palms folded towards the monk Kongshan Zen Master who was giving the Dharma above him.

"Do you believe in the Venerable?" asked the Zen master.

"Believe it!" The young man said with a firm expression.

"Are you willing to sacrifice everything for His Holiness, including your life and soul, in exchange for His grace?"

"I wish!"

Kong Shan narrowed his eyes, looked at the young man, and nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly he asked coldly, "What is your name?"

"Wu Daniu!"

The young man blurted out, then realized something, his face changed drastically, and he quickly changed his words: "Dharma name - Gui Niu Ma!"

At this moment, the entire hall, hundreds of believers and monks, had different expressions.

The look towards the young man contained regret and sympathy, as well as contempt and disgust.

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity."

Zen Master Kongshan shook his head and sighed, "I can sense your admiration for the Venerable, but you have not completely abandoned the filthy self before entering the Buddha's kingdom."

"I was wrong! Master, please give me another chance!"

The young man begged almost in tears.

"Don't be afraid, child."

Zen Master Kongshan smiled gently, revealing a kind-hearted Buddha appearance, "As long as you have the Venerable in your heart and regard the Venerable as the ultimate pursuit of your life and soul, then you still have hope."

"First, go to the spiritual plant garden outside the city, work and practice, and be a trainee believer for two years, okay?"

When the young man heard this, he looked even more devastated, but then, seeing the guru's face darken, he immediately put his hands together and said, "I'll leave it to the guru!"

"Next person."

A middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples came over from the queue and said, "Greetings, Master."

“Do you believe in His Holiness?”

It still starts with that question.

"believe!"

"What's your name?"

"Guiyin Tiger!"

With the lesson learned from the previous person, the man, who had been training silently for a long time, spoke in a firm tone without any pause.
