Chapter 471: Seeing the Flower Monk
When he landed, he was surrounded by a circle of Buddhist monks who were meditating and chanting scriptures. Tao Zi landed right in the center.
The little ghost in Tao Zi's sea of consciousness: "...You are really lucky."
She didn't think so. She looked up at the most powerful Buddhist cultivator and asked, "What can I do for you, seniors?"
The Buddhist monk stopped chanting, put his hands together, and said, "Amitabha."
Tao Zi looked at the circle of people in the Out-of-Body Stage, calculated her own chances of escape, and decisively and patiently asked again, "What can I do for you?"
The Buddhist cultivator finally spoke and replied, "We are here to invite Daoist Fellow Yue to visit the One Thought Gate."
She stood there motionless, smiling and saying, "I'm really flattered by the scale of your invitation."
A monk on the opposite side said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Yue's strength is unfathomable. There's nothing we can do about it. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Tao Zi smiled, but her tone was cold: "I can't kill you, so why not go?"
All the Buddhist cultivators in the Out-of-Body Stage put their hands together and said, "Amitabha."
The Buddhist cultivator who spoke first said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Yue is too impatient. This is not good."
Tao Zi ignored it.
When they were still a short distance away from Yi Nian Gate, Tao Zi heard the sound of chanting sutras. The sound made her feel particularly uncomfortable. She frowned and asked, "Is your sect like this every day?"
The leading Buddhist cultivator smiled and said, "Not really, it's just that the demonic cultivators have been rampant lately, so we have to recite more sutras as a warning."
Tao Zi pursed her lips, really not wanting to respond.
When she arrived at the mountain gate, she was already in an extremely irritable mood.
The sound of the sutras not only has a calming effect on the mind, but can also disturb the mind of the devil. The sound of the sutras chanted by powerful Buddhist practitioners can even drive the devil practitioners crazy.
She simply stopped and said with a stern face, "With your strength, you can just do it directly. Why bother with all this trickery?"
One of the Buddhists cast a barrier around her, greatly weakening the power of the sutra sound.
Seeing her expression improve, the Buddhist cultivator said, "We didn't mean to do that. We just didn't expect you to be possessed by a demon."
Tao Zi looked at the barrier around her and said nothing more.
As soon as I stepped into the mountain gate, a familiar monk came towards me - Qian Xuanhua.
When he saw Tao Zi's eyes and that scarred face, his expression was startled for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Friend Yue, long time no see."
Tao Zi nodded calmly and replied, "Long time no see, how is Hua Heshang?"
Qian Xuanhua was stunned for a long moment before reacting. "Junior brother's physical condition is good, but his mental state is worrying. However, I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Yue for protecting Junior brother over the years. Otherwise, with his ignorant nature, I'm afraid he would have had a hard time getting by."
She smiled, but didn't respond. Instead, she asked, "I wonder why the One Thought Sect is looking for me?"
He turned sideways and said, "Fellow Daoist Yue, please follow me."
Tao Zi followed behind him, and the other Buddhist practitioners scattered and disappeared without a trace.
There are dense forests all around and the scenery is very beautiful, but the sound of scriptures is a bit disturbing.
She asked, "Fellow Daoist Qian, how long will your chanting last?"
"Three months." Qian Xuanhua was worried that she might misunderstand, so she added an explanation, "Something went wrong in the Demon Realm, and the demon cultivators are in chaos. Reciting more scriptures is also to warn the demon cultivators."
Tao Zi paused, then quickly stepped forward to stop him, her voice tense: "Cheng Demon Realm?"
“Yes, we don’t know the details either.”
If something goes wrong in Chengmoyu at this time...she felt a little more hopeful.
Qian Xuanhua led the way again, without stopping, and said, "Not long ago, the Minglan Sect sent us a message saying that you hid in the Yi Nian Sect's area of influence, and they need to come in and capture you, the traitor."
Tao Zi smiled and asked disapprovingly, "Do you agree?"
He added, "Of course, you don't need our help anyway, so there's no reason to disagree."
After hearing this, she suddenly asked a question with a smile: "Do you know that I have not colluded with alien races?"
Only in this way can we explain the current behavior of Yi Nian Men.
Qian Xuanhua's body froze for a moment, and he whispered, "I'm sorry."
"How long ago did you find out?"
He looked at the road ahead, his tone a little obscure, and said: "We just found out not long ago, as for the others, I don't know."
Tao Zi's smile remained unchanged, and she even asked leisurely, "Does this mean that the leader of your Yi Nian Sect and others very likely knew from the beginning that I was innocent?"
Qian Xuanhua remained silent, and after a long time he said again: "Sorry."
Tao Zi had known about this outcome for a long time, but she couldn't help but feel angry when she heard it from these people: "I thought Buddhism was a peaceful place, but now it seems I was mistaken."
He only said in a low voice: "We wanted to come forward to explain for you, but inside the door..."
He couldn't continue.
No matter what, they learned the truth but watched innocent people being slandered and mortals being killed. These cold-eyed bystanders are real.
Tao Zi thought of Xi Jing and the others, and her heart grew colder. "You talk about compassion and karma, and urge people to be good, but you watch innocent people being killed, forced into the demon and monster realms, and suffer inhuman torture... Qian Xuanhua, are you living up to your Tao?"
Qian Xuanhua shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, so we're looking for you and them as well."
Tao Zi followed him and taunted him, "Isn't the reason you're disregarding it also because of the overall situation? Is it also the so-called snatching food from the tiger's mouth?"
Qian Xuanhua laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "No, but it's almost the same."
She didn't ask any more questions.
After walking for about another half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a side hall.
Qian Xuanhua turned sideways and said, "Junior brother is inside, please come in, fellow Taoist."
Tao Zi pushed the door open and walked in. She was greeted by huge Buddha statues and a monk named Hua, who was meditating and chanting on a cushion.
She said, "Stop reading it. It gives me a headache."
The flower monk woke up from his cultivation state, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up with joy: "You are still alive."
Tao Zi hummed, and her eyes softened a little.
He added: "It's my fault. I couldn't protect them."
She said, "I heard that you went to rob Xi Jing. You did your best. Besides, this matter is not something you can change alone."
The flower monk smiled, but the smile was a little forced: "I just got some news from Master. I'm sorry."
Tao Zi was silent for a while, suppressing the anger that suddenly rose in her heart, and said tiredly: "Please recite the scriptures again."
Because of the barrier that was set up before, the sound of the scriptures would not make her irritable, but instead had a calming effect.
The Flower Monk recited a few times, and finally couldn't help but say, "As far as I know, Yue Qingya was taken back to the Sword Sect by Wang Xu, and this matter was kept secret from the Minglan Sect; Junior Brother Li and the Thousand Needle Doctor followed Qiu Xuanhuan to the Spring and Autumn Sect; Cheng Zhenjun and the others from the Yisan Sect are nowhere to be found. Mo Yu... Mo Yu is a bastard!"
Tao Zi was shocked. This monk can also curse?
