On the way to preaching, Grand Master Wuxu of Wuxiang Temple was besieged by a group of powerful demon cultivators and was seriously injured. Fortunately, a casual cultivator passed by and gave him a hand, and he managed to escape.
Master Wuxu was severely injured by the demon cultivator, and his body was also corroded by some unknown toxin, making the injury worse.
Unfortunately, the toxin cannot be driven out using ordinary methods.
Master Wuxu's injuries cannot be delayed and he must be treated immediately. Otherwise, at best his cultivation will be destroyed, and at worst he will die.
But this treatment is also difficult.
The elders had two plans for treatment. One was to send ten high-ranking monks from Wuxiang Temple to treat him at the cost of sacrificing half of their cultivation.
The other way is for a Buddhist disciple to personally rescue the person, sacrificing half of his cultivation.
Yes, one Buddhist is worth ten eminent monks, and there won’t be any sequelae.
But this is not a good opportunity now, as Master Wuzhen is about to pass away. If the cultivation of the ten monks is damaged, the defense of Wuxiang Temple will be weakened.
If the cultivation level of Wuchen Buddha is damaged, the combat capability of Wuxiang Temple will be damaged.
"Brother Wuchen, are you unwilling to save me because you are reluctant to sacrifice your cultivation?" Wuxu raised his eyebrows, with a somewhat evil look on his face.
[Why is this monk so evil? He doesn't look like a proper monk at all. ]
Xiao Xiao muttered to himself.
Yuanxuan: ...
Wuchen: ...
[Host, this monk is practicing the Happy Buddha.]
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows. No wonder.
The main paths of Buddhist practice generally include the path of light, the path of compassion, the path of prajna, the path of pure land, the path of meditation, etc. These are all orthodox.
But there are side roads in Buddhism, and this joy road is one of them. It adheres to the principle of "first seduce with desire, then lead the Buddha to wisdom." That is, to achieve the purpose of practice by satisfying desire.
Orthodox Buddhism emphasizes the achievement of a state of pure mind and emptiness of the four elements through restraining desires.
The Happy Buddha allows himself to fall into the world of mortals, experience greed, anger, and delusion, and realize the Dharma in the world of mortals.
This path is too unconventional, and practitioners often have to face more temptations and challenges. Once they fail to grasp the right moment, they are likely to fall into the devil's way. Therefore, relatively few people practice the Happy Buddha.
Nowadays, Monk Wuxu is actually practicing the Way of Joy and has made some achievements!
This is really surprising!
This reminded Xiao Xiao of the monk Dao Ji who was so addicted to meat and wine that he could not get past the Buddha's heart. Wu Xu was surprisingly similar to him in three ways!
"Amitabha!" Faced with Wuxu's provocation, Wuchen did not respond but only muttered this sentence.
This made Wuxu feel quite bored, as if he had punched a ball of cotton, feeling a little powerless.
In the end, Wuxu took the elixir first to curb his injuries, while the others moved to the hall to discuss solutions and to receive the independent cultivator who had sent Wuxu back.
The one who escorted Master Wuxu back was a casual cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. He was wearing a green robe and had a peaceful expression, which gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Such a chivalrous and righteous cultivator is rare in the world of cultivation.
Thank you for supporting our temple and bringing Wuxu back safely. This poor monk, Wuxiang Temple, would like to express his gratitude to you for your great kindness." Wuchen Buddhist put his hands together and bowed.
"I don't deserve it." The man returned the salute, "It was just a coincidence that I happened to meet someone like that. I saw injustice on the road, so I should help."
This person's words and actions were humble and polite. He was neither overjoyed because he saved the people from Wuxiang Temple, nor was he afraid because the other party was from Wuxiang Temple. He was calm and composed.
His behavior was appropriate and he knew when to relax and work properly, which left a good impression on everyone present.
Even Xiao Xiao thought so until Fozi asked about the origin of his name.
"In front of Zhen Wenhe, he is a casual cultivator and has not yet joined any sect." said the man in green.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xiao Xiao was choked by his own saliva and coughed repeatedly, attracting the attention of everyone present.
The man in green turned to look at Xiao Xiao, with a puzzled look on his face, "Do you know this fairy?"
Yuan Xuan patted Xiao Xiao's back gently to help him calm down. When he looked at the man in blue again, there was a barely perceptible scrutiny in his eyes.
After Xiao Xiao recovered, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just hungry. I heard that the vegetarian food at Wuxiang Temple is delicious. I didn't mean to disturb you."
The man in blue nodded. It was unclear whether he believed it or not, but he believed it anyway.
He turned around and continued talking to the Buddhist.
But the other party's current image in Xiao Xiao's eyes was completely overturned.
It's just awkward!
Family members, who understands? Who among the decent people would call me Wenhe?
When talking about Wenhe, we have to mention a famous poisonous scholar in the Three Kingdoms period.
Jia Xu, whose courtesy name was Wenhe.
Netizens have summed up his toxicity in a couplet:
To harm the harmony of people is to harm the harmony of culture, but not to harm the harmony of culture.
Damage to hidden virtues will damage to Mengde, but do not damage to Zhongde.
Netizens even joked that whenever Boss Cao felt guilty about doing something bad, he would talk to Wen He and he would find that he was still a human being.
Boss Cao didn't use him much, but he didn't dare to let him go.
After all, it costs a lot of money to keep him. If you let him go, you will suffer a lot.
That person single-handedly caused chaos among the civil and military forces, making people uneasy.
So, think about it, can someone named Wenhe be a good person?
Still Zhen Wenhe? Is he the core of this nuclear bomb?
Zhen Wenhe, isn't that even more vicious than Jia Xu's guy?
Anyway, no matter how Xiao Xiao looks at the other party now, he thinks that the other party is a bad person. All those humble and polite behaviors, proper manners, and good balance were all his disguise.
This feeling came out of nowhere, but was so strong.
I looked at the other party with suspicion and found many loopholes.
For example, how did he, a casual cultivator, save Wuxu from a group of demon cultivators?
As both of them were in the Spiritualization Stage, Master Wuxu was severely injured, but the opponent was able to retreat unscathed?
When did a casual cultivator become so powerful?
Also, why didn't Wuxu get hurt earlier or later, but got hurt so badly at the critical moment of Master Wuzhen's passing, and why did the Buddhist monks of Wuxiang Temple have to sacrifice their cultivation to treat him?
【Tongzi, scan him. I want to see where he comes from.】
The more Xiao Xiao thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so he wanted the system to scan it.
[Host, I can't recognize him. This shouldn't be his true face.]
Xiao Xiao: This is even more suspicious. Why wouldn’t you dare show your true face to others?
[Haven't you upgraded? If facial recognition doesn't work, can't you also recognize people by voice and spiritual power? ]
[Host, his voice may be fake. As for his spiritual power, he is not using it yet, so the system cannot detect it.]
Xiao Xiao: Tongzi always lags behind at critical moments.
Xiao Xiao sighed inwardly, and from then on he could only stare at him to see what tricks he was going to play.
On the other side, Zhen Wenhe talked to the Buddhist disciple calmly while thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
The demon clan's spies found out that Master Wuzhen of Wuxiang Temple was about to pass away and would leave behind a relic.
Then the Demon Lord thought.
Later, he was sent here as an insider because he was the smartest and could deceive Mr. Mingri.
But now it seems that the junior sister who bullied Shiyu has discovered that something is wrong with him?
But Zhen Wenhe carefully thought about his words and deeds, and did not find anything revealing.
Is it because the other party is too vigilant and sensitive?
It seems that he is more careful.
Of course he never dreamed that his biggest flaw would be his name.
