Chapter 59 Chapter 59 “She forced me to do it.”
Moonlight streamed in from the window, illuminating two young and bright faces. The word "Master" blurted out by them at the same time made Kong Wen frown. His eyes passed by Guo Xuandu and looked at Xie Qi.
Du Xuandu lowered his eyes and retreated silently into the shadows.
Kong Wen asked Xie Qi, "Who is she? What did you just say?"
Xie Qi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain to his master.
Facing the monk's questioning, Du Xuandu stepped forward to block Xie Qi and said, "My name is Du Xuandu."
She introduced him solemnly, as if telling his name to someone she admired, hoping that he would remember it.
Then he said calmly, "She was the Saintess of Peach Blossom Temple in the Demon Realm. I seduced the Buddha, but his heart is pure. From beginning to end, he never crossed the line and never betrayed the Buddha."
"Everything he did was forced by me."
Kong Wen looked at her and asked sharply, "How to force her?"
Du Xuandu looked at Kong Wen's face, which no longer had any kindness, and felt a faint pain in her heart. Her whole body was cold, but she pretended to be relaxed. She stared at Kong Wen and said slowly, "If he doesn't do it, I will kill his master."
Xie Qi opened her eyes wide and looked at Du Xuandu. She had never said such words before.
Kong Wen turned his sharp gaze towards Xie Qi: "Is that really the case?"
Xie Qi took two steps back, not daring to look directly at him, and replied in panic: "Disciple, no, disciple is not..."
Kong Wen coughed twice, his heavy gaze falling on Xie Qi, and he asked again, "Is that really the case?"
Xie Qi was at a loss, looking at his master's stern eyes, and his breathing became difficult.
After a long moment, he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes. That's right."
"She forced me to do it."
Kong Wen began to cough violently, as if he was going to choke out his lungs, and his old face showed the blush of a seriously ill person.
Du Xuandu was a few steps away from him, his hands hanging down at his sides, clenched into fists, standing there without moving.
Xie Qi wanted to step forward: "Master..."
Kong Wen stretched out a hand, a gesture to stop him.
"Don't, don't call me that."
Xie Qi's face turned pale for a moment.
At this moment, a chuckle sounded in the void. It was a very strange voice, neither male nor female, unpredictable, but it made people inexplicably feel that the owner of the voice must be an ordinary person.
There was a hint of mockery in the laughter, and the three people present suddenly became alert.
"who?"
As if in response to this sound, a ball of grayish-white demonic energy suddenly appeared and pounced towards Kong Wen.
The moment the evil spirit appeared, Du Xuandu and Xie Qi both stood still, feeling the fear of dying.
It was a power far beyond their own, and it seemed that anyone who got close would have their soul torn apart and disappear from the world forever.
The two looked at Kong Wen in despair.
Master Kongwen has a high level of cultivation. If any of the three can fight against the evil spirit, it will definitely be him.
But Kongwen just stood there, his face pale as he let the evil energy cover his head. His tall body swayed, his bones groaned, and then he fell to his knees, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
They didn't know that Kong Wen had failed to break through tonight, and after suddenly hearing the secret of the Buddha, his state of mind had collapsed and he had no strength to fight at all.
The old monk stared at the overwhelming pressure, raised his eyes to look at Xie Qi, and uttered a word with difficulty: "Go!"
Xie Qi's expression shook violently: "Master, Master..."
Demonic energy began to penetrate into Kong Wen's body. Something evil was flowing under the layers of wrinkles, shining brightly through his aging gray skin. Kong Wen's eyes turned completely white, and strange purple and swollen lines appeared on his face and neck.
Xie Qi wanted to step forward, but fear pinned him to the spot: "Master!"
"Walk!"
Kong Wen opened his mouth, blood all over his mouth, and shouted at Xie Qi at the top of his lungs.
Xie Qi's chest heaved violently, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After a moment, he moved his feet and retreated step by step.
The evil spirit ignored this side. Xie Qi saw that he could move freely, and finally looked at Kong Wen, then turned and ran down the tower.
The footsteps faded away, and the wind on the roof made the white hair drift in the air. He closed his eyes, as if relieved.
The swollen purple lines spread all the way, and the severe pain extending from his soul made Kong Wen's face distorted. "Bang, bang, bang", like a ripe fruit cracking, Kong Wen's skin suddenly cracked, revealing the white bones inside.
The strong smell of blood filled the air, and Kong Wen turned into a horrible bloody man in the blink of an eye.
He lowered his head dejectedly, no longer having the strength to struggle.
A soft sigh sounded in the void, just like before, neither male nor female. Even in this life-and-death moment, the sound still sounded pleasant to the ear.
The evil energy suddenly penetrated into Kongwen's eyes, ears, nose and throat, causing Kongwen's body to tremble strangely.
At this moment, a white light flashed and a sharp roar sounded.
With a fierce claw grab, it cut through the evil spirit and snatched away Kongwen's body.
A white fox landed on the ground, its fur was shiny and sleek, its snout was pointed, its ears were erect, and its pupils were clear blue.
The white fox's sharp claws stepped on the floor, making a teeth-grinding sound. It moved slowly, covering the dying Kong Wen behind it, and suddenly bared its teeth and roared at the evil energy floating in front of it, as if to demonstrate to its opponent.
However, it was trembling, and even though its eyes were ferocious and sharp, it could not stop the fear from the depths of its soul.
*
Practitioners from various sects arrived outside the temple one after another.
Unable to penetrate the barrier, everyone dispersed and surrounded the Brahma Temple.
The relic is not only the treasure of Brahma Temple, but also related to the peace of the human world. It must not fall into the hands of the demon world.
Meng Yaoguang spoke with Shang Linran for a moment, then turned to Adu and said, "You said that in the Ice Flame Mirror illusion of the Demon Realm, the one the Buddhist disciples feared was a woman."
"yes."
"Who is she? What did you see?"
The scene that Adu saw was very simple. Kongwen passed away in meditation, and the Buddhist disciples inherited the Brahma Temple, preached the Dharma, and saved all living beings.
He had a profound understanding of Buddhism, and he saved the world from suffering, accumulating supreme prestige and being called "the living Buddha" by the world.
The young and handsome Buddhist - or should I say, Abbot Mingjue, wearing a five-colored robe and a five-Buddha crown on his head, sat on a high platform, facing the huge number of believers who had come from afar, and slowly opened his eyes.
Those were a pair of turquoise eyes, as if the sky was falling into their eyes, bright and dreamy, definitely not something that ordinary people have.
The light and shadow changed, and in the unnoticed shadow, the handsome face suddenly transformed into another enchanting and beautiful female face, and disappeared after a moment.
The master of Brahma Temple deduced the secrets of heaven and once foresaw that the fortune of Buddhist disciples might be robbed of their glory by evil in the future.
What Xie Qi feared was that someone had taken away the luck that belonged to him, and that woman—
Adu answered Meng Yaoguang.
"Her name is Du Xuandu."
*
Xie Qi left and quickly returned with his men. The elite of Brahma Temple followed behind the Buddhist disciple as they spiraled up the dangerous building. When they reached the top, Xie Qi couldn't help but shout, "Master—"
The scene that came into his eyes made him feel a little relieved. The evil and terrifying demonic aura had long disappeared. Kong Wen was lying on the ground. Although he was covered in blood, his chest could be seen rising and falling slightly.
He is still alive.
Xie Qi cried with joy, took a step forward, but suddenly stopped.
A sharp friction sound came from the darkness, like some four-hoofed beast walking.
One, two, three...
A pair of blue eyes emerged from the darkness, as clear as the water in a lake deep in the mountains unknown to the world, followed by a fox head, and then the entire broken and bloody body.
The original form of Du Xuandu.
Blood was still dripping from her body, her snow-white fur was stained red and tangled into clumps, and wounds were visible everywhere. The largest one was on her abdomen, and her intestines could be vaguely seen inside.
The fox was tired and weak, but his blue eyes were firm and sharp as he looked straight at Xie Qi and the people behind him. Although he looked down and out, he looked like a majestic lion.
No one knows how she protected Kong Wen from the attack of the evil energy, and no one knows what she paid.
Perhaps the disparity in strength in the battle aroused her ferocity to the greatest extent. The fox seemed to be a little unconscious. She mistook Xie Qi and the people who came as enemies, bared her teeth, and roared at them fiercely, with blood and flesh residue hanging on her sharp teeth.
"It's her! She hurt the host!"
The monks rushed forward and trapped the white fox, which was still struggling and biting.
Xie Qi stared at this scene in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. Someone asked him, "Brother, how should we deal with this monster?"
Xie Qi's lips moved, and he looked across his fellow disciples to meet the dying, ferocious fox's gaze, and finally said, "Tie him up."
*
After Kong Wen woke up, Xie Qi locked himself in a confinement room and had not eaten or drunk for more than ten days.
"Master, the Buddha is praying for you. Please go and see him."
Everyone said that Kongwen's heart became hardened after he was seriously injured by the Hehuan demon girl. Xie Qi knelt in front of the Buddha for half a month to pray for his safety, but he did not even mention this disciple for several days.
Kongwen did not explain. When he was able to walk, the first person he went to see was the little fox.
"Your name is Du Xuandu?"
Du Xuandu had regained her human form. The monks in the temple put a Haiqing monk robe on her. She did not refuse and wore it properly.
When the door opened, her eyes fell on Kong Wen. Seeing that he was not seriously injured, she turned away as if she didn't care.
Hearing Kong Wen calling her name, Du Xuandu was silent for a moment, lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Kong Wen looked at the tangled red threads all over the room, then looked at the woman sitting on the ground. Her face was ashen pale, her hair matted together. He wondered how much suffering she had endured and how much blood and sweat she had shed in the past few dozen days.
Kong Wen untied her and said, "You can go now."
Du Xuandu looked at him in surprise: "You won't kill me?"
Kong Wen smiled, the sickness on his face faded a little, and wrinkles piled up at the corners of his eyes.
He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch Du Xuandu's head, but stopped in mid-air and then retracted it.
"Killing is a violation of the precepts."
The old monk knelt on one knee and looked at Du Xuandu.
"Killing your savior and your disciple is an unforgivable crime."
*
Kongwen let Du Xuandu go despite everyone's opposition, and then went to the Buddhist monk's confinement room.
With a creak, the door swung open, sunlight shone in obliquely, and dust floated in the beam of light.
Xie Qi's back moved, and then he put down the Buddhist beads, turned around with difficulty, and looked at the person who came.
“Master…”
The young Buddhist disciple looked decadent, with tears in his eyes, which made Kong Wen feel sorry for him.
He exhaled silently, gritted his teeth, and said, "Aqi, do you know where you went wrong?"
Xie Qi's eyes flushed red as he clutched the edge of the futon tightly: "Master, it was her, she stole my luck, the luck that should have belonged to me."
Kong Wen lowered his eyes, shook his head and said, "Is it really yours?"
"What if the one who stole the Buddha's fortune from the beginning to the end was you?"
