Chapter 273: Don’t let down Buddha, don’t let him down
In the main hall of Kongnian Temple.
The abbots of thirty other Buddhist temples have arrived.
They knelt on the mat.
On each of their faces was an expression of righteous indignation.
Everyone seemed to be holding back a lot of anger.
When the abbot of Kongnian Temple walked into the main hall, everyone looked in the direction of Xu Jing.
"Master Xu Jing."
Everyone stood up and bowed eleven times to Xu Jing.
"Hello everyone." Xu Jing clasped his hands together in return.
"Master Xujing, you are so polite." The abbot of Qingzhou Temple quickly said politely, "Master Xujing, please take your seat and discuss important matters with us!"
Xu Jing nodded without refusing and sat down in front of the hall.
The abbot of Buyi Temple cleared his throat and said, "Master Xu Jing, all the masters, we are all gathered here, and I believe you all know what we are doing. I will not waste any more words.
A few years ago, a man named Xiao Mo appeared in the Demon Sect. He was a disciple of the Ye Xuefeng lineage of the Wandao Sect.
At that time, Xiao Mo was already emerging, but most of us did not take him seriously.
But who knows the result.
This boy's talent is extremely rare in the Western Regions from ancient times to the present!
He crossed the border to kill the enemy as if it were drinking water.
A few years ago, there was an internal conflict in the Wandao Sect, and the sect leader Ding Jingyi died. Thirty percent of the monks in the upper three realms of the Wandao Sect were killed or injured.
Not long after Xiao Mo became the leader of Wandao Sect, the nine major demon sects came together to attack Wandao Sect. As a result, Xiao Mo used a single sword to drive back the 30,000-strong army of the demon sects, including nine sect leaders in the Ascension Realm.
This is unprecedented!
It is not an exaggeration to say that this person is the reincarnation of a god. In ancient times, he would probably be a god-killer.
It would be fine if Xiao Mo could just guard the Wandao Sect's little piece of land and become the number one person in the Demon Sect.
But over the years, Xiao Mo has been conquering many sects, and even our Buddhist sect could not escape.
Xiao Mo has been called the "Lord of the Demonic Path" by people all over the world.
We even heard that Xiao Mo had led a large army to attack the territory of our ten major Buddhist temples.
I'm afraid that it won't be long before the battle between Buddha and demons breaks out.
Today, we propose to form a Buddhist alliance to resist the Demon Sect! Subdue the arrogant Demon Lord Xiao Mo!
"That's what I think too."
The abbot of Mantuo Temple echoed.
Although the others did not speak, they also nodded and agreed with the proposal of the abbot of Buyi Temple.
They all looked at Xu Jing, wanting to hear his opinion.
In any case, Xu Jing is the number one person in Buddhism, and his realm is the highest among everyone.
The Buddhist-Taoist alliance must have the participation of Kongnian Temple.
"I have also learned about this donor Xiao. He is not someone with a deep evil heart. In comparison, in my opinion, this donor Xiao has wisdom."
Xu Jing thought about it and then spoke.
"I've heard that the temples that Donor Xiao destroyed were evil temples like the Temple of Joy and the Temple of Sorrow?"
"Alas," the abbot of Qianfo Temple sighed and shook his head, "We naturally dislike those evil temples, and eliminating them would be a great relief to the people. But if that were all, we wouldn't have come to bother Master Xujing."
"What do you mean?" Xu Jing asked.
"Master Xu Jing, there is something you don't know."
The abbot of Rumeng Temple spoke.
"Recently, Xiao Mo has had the Demon Sect disciples set up a lot of formations in the mortal world.
These magic arrays can absorb 20% of the lifespan of ordinary people! They can even absorb the dynasty's luck!
Xiao Mo's behavior has now caused widespread resentment among the people of the entire Western Region, but they dare not speak out."
"This is a strange thing to say."
Another abbot said.
"After Xiao Mo used the magic circle to absorb his lifespan, he distributed a lot of treasures to the people and strictly forbade his men to kill or harm the people of the mortal world. Otherwise, they would be executed.
Not only that, he also set rules for his subordinates, prohibiting any evil methods that rely on the flesh, blood, and souls of others.
He is like a demon, but not like a demon."
"And you know, after Xiao Mo killed those cultivators in the upper three realms, he also locked up their souls. So many souls of cultivators in the upper three realms! What on earth does he want to do?"
"No matter what, Xiao Mo's plan is so big that we must stop him!" said the abbot of Xinrong Temple in a deep voice.
Listening to the conversations of his fellow disciples, Abbot Xu Jing lowered his head and frowned slightly.
In the opinion of Abbot Xu Jing, Xiao Mo is not the kind of person who treats the people as straw dogs.
But he used secret methods to deprive the people of 20% of their life source, and also collected the souls of so many cultivators in the upper three realms. What exactly did he want to do?
Even Xiao Mo has already marched towards the area where the ten major Buddhist temples are located.
An hour later, the meeting was over and the abbots were arranged to rest in the separate courtyard.
Although Xu Jing has not yet agreed to form an alliance with them.
But Xu Jing also knew that the destruction of his Kongnian Temple was unavoidable.
Walking out of the hall, Xu Jing walked among the mountains and forests, trying to deduce what Xiao Mo was planning.
As they walked, Xu Jing seemed to sense something and looked up at the courtyard in the back mountain.
At the same time, the abbots living in the villa all looked towards the back mountain of Kongnian Temple.
Above the back mountain, Buddha's light condensed, and auspicious clouds appeared in the air. Even the Buddha's light condensed into a river, with hundreds of lotus flowers blooming in the river.
The abbots of other temples looked at each other.
Everyone knows.
In the back mountain, someone attained enlightenment.
After a while, Xu Jing came outside the courtyard and looked at the girl in the courtyard.
I saw Buddha's light surrounding her body, as if she was wearing a holy robe.
Under the Bodhi tree, she still clasped her hands together and looked up at the leaves swaying in the wind.
Her eyes were full of compassion.
Hun Dun made a "meow" sound and looked at his hostess.
Although it didn't know what was happening, the light emanating from its owner made it feel very comfortable.
"Forget your heart."
Xu Jing walked up to the girl and called softly.
"Abbot grandpa." Wang Xin stood up and clasped his hands together.
"Do you already have the answer in your heart?" Xu Jing asked.
A few years ago, at Buddha and Demon Mountain, Xiao Mo and Wang Xin parted ways. He once asked Wang Xin - if he wanted to kill everyone in the world, what should Wang Xin choose?
After that, Wangxin returned to Kongnian Temple and fell into deep thought for five years.
"No."
Wang Xin shook his head and lowered his eyebrows slightly.
"At that time, Xiao Mo asked me, 'Between him and the people of the world, how should I choose?' If I couldn't answer, I would have left him.
In fact, I know that Xiao Mo is worried that the increasingly strong blood evil energy will affect me.
And I also know that after he returns, he will do something big and kill many people, and he doesn't want me to face this.
Now, I still don’t have an answer.
But since I can’t think of it, I will go out into the world to look for it.”
Wangxin turned around and looked up at the Bodhi tree.
“In that one answer.
Do not let down Buddha.
Nor let him down."
