Chapter 165 I have a plan to restore the Guanyin Temple to light

At the beginning, Ji Changsheng didn't notice Shi Yao.

To be fair, Shi Yao is the first true disciple and the first Nascent Soul stage disciple. His current strength is not necessarily worse than Ji Changsheng who is in the Spirit Transformation stage.

After all, Shi Yao followed the orthodox path of cultivation and her combat power was real, while Ji Changsheng took shortcuts and his foundation was far less solid than Shi Yao's.

Shi Yao deliberately hid herself, making it difficult for Ji Changsheng to discover her.

But what the Shi family did was really eye-opening for the bumpkin.

Ji Changsheng couldn't hold back when he heard it for the first time, let alone Shi Yao, who was an ascetic monk.

How could she have seen such a scene? Shi Yao was also a country bumpkin, she knew a lot about cultivation, and she had also opened her eyes to human nature today.

Although she was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, she really couldn't remain calm after hearing and seeing these outrageous actions of her relatives.

His emotions fluctuated so violently that Ji Changsheng couldn't help but notice it.

Fortunately, Mr. Ji is really a kind man.

He knew that Shi Yao must be in a bad mood, so he asked Ying Hongye to kill a few of Shi Yao's relatives to cheer her up.

This is called being kind-hearted! "Friend Shi Dao, I'm ready to say you're welcome. Come on."

Ji Changsheng had a smile on his face that was as warm as spring breeze.

He must hear this "thank you" today, even if the Bodhisattva comes, it can't stop it.

If he didn't hear "thank you", he could only helplessly report to the people of Qi. Shi Yao committed suicide out of shame because his relatives committed heinous crimes and he was too ashamed to face the people of Qi.

If possible, Ji Changsheng still hopes that Shi Yao can be alive.

So if he wants to hear this "thank you", he has to be willing.

Shi Yao naturally didn't know Ji Changsheng's true thoughts.

But after hearing Ji Changsheng say "I killed your whole family, you should thank me", Shi Yao's expression and mood were still very interesting.

"I should...thank you?"

Shi Yao was overwhelmed by Ji Changsheng.

Ji Changsheng said seriously: "Friend Shi, if it weren't for me, I don't know how long the people of Qi would have been tortured by the Shi family. If I hadn't killed so many people for you, I don't know how much of the Shi family's karma would have been implicated on you. If I hadn't made a decisive decision, Friend Shi, you would have fallen into the devil's way and would never be able to be reborn. Friend Shi, shouldn't you thank me?"

Shi Yao nodded subconsciously: "Should be."

"etc."

She shook her head suddenly and asked cautiously, "Did you use a spell to fascinate me?"

Ji Changsheng shook his head and said, "Friend Shi, you are obsessed. You still have a conscience, so you were persuaded by me. Why? Do you think you have lost all conscience?"

Shi Yao was speechless.

Moral kidnapping doesn't work on bad people, but it works on good people.

Ji Changsheng pointed at Shi Yao's relatives who were being slaughtered and continued to ask: "Friend Shi Dao, don't you think they shouldn't die?"

Shi Yao: “…”

Continue to be speechless.

Damn it indeed.

Although she is not as noble as Ji Lao Mo, she still has basic judgment of right and wrong.

"Friend Shi, you deserve to die." Ji Changsheng sighed, "If it weren't for you, the Shi family would never have caused such great harm to the people of Qi and the Guanyin Temple. But God is merciful, and I follow the will of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Based on the principle of punishing the past and preventing the future, curing the disease and saving people, I will also give you a way out. Who of the people who are still alive now is your direct relative?"

Shi Yao subconsciously looked at a young man.

Ji Changsheng followed Shi Yao's line of sight and raised his hand to pull the other person over.

"Brother Cao, who is this?"

Cao Ziming looked at him carefully and said, "Prime Minister Shi's eldest son, known as 'Little Prime Minister', was responsible for the construction of 300 of the 480 branch palaces in Qi. He was also a genius at amassing wealth and a scum who deserves death."

Ji Changsheng nodded and brought the young prime minister to Shi Yao.

"Friend Shi Dao, this is your way out. Kill him and prove your innocence."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sad Demon Knife appeared in Ji Changsheng's left hand.

There was still a kind smile on his face.

"Kill your nephew to prove that you have nothing to do with what the Shi family did, and then kneel before me and thank me sincerely, and I can barely believe your sincerity in turning over a new leaf. Otherwise, I think you are suspected of colluding with the Huangquan Sect. I have no choice but to follow the Bodhisattva's order to subdue the demons."

Shi Yao: “…”

It must be said that she and the deputy leader of the Huangquan Sect, Ghost Mother, had actually met.

Moreover, the senior leaders in the palace are indeed connected with the Huangquan Sect.

Ji Changsheng didn't really wrong her.

Shi Yao shook her head and said to Ji Changsheng: "You can't kill me with your current strength."

Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Friend Shi, this answer is not in your best interest."

Shi Yao did not say anything else, but made the fearless seal with his left hand and held a willow branch in his right hand. A huge image of Guanyin appeared behind him and quickly enveloped the entire Shi family manor.

When the image of Guanyin rose into the air, Ying Hongye was immediately forced to stop his slaughter.

Everyone in the manor was under the gaze of the Dharmakirti. Except for Ji Changsheng and Wei Tingbao, no one else had even the slightest desire to kill.

Wei Tingbao quickly appeared beside Ji Changsheng, his eyes alert and his voice low: "It is the Medicine-Giving Guanyin, one of the 33 Dharmakāyas of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who practices the Yangliuzhi medicine method to eliminate the diseases of sentient beings."

Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

He knew that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had thirty-three Dharma bodies.

It seems that Shi Yao is from the lineage of Guanyin, the Goddess of Medicine.

"So, the thirty-three elders of the Guanyin Temple correspond to the thirty-three Dharmakāyas of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Wei Tingbao nodded: "It is like this, the thirty-three elders of Guanyin Temple, behind them are thirty-three families, each of which controls a kind of Bodhisattva Dharmakaya practice technique. If you want to practice a higher level of practice, you must choose one of them to join, otherwise you can only stop at the Golden Core Realm."

Ji Changsheng sighed softly: "The Bodhisattva is compassionate and merciful, saving people from suffering and distress. He established the Guanyin Temple to save all living beings. But I didn't expect that the Buddhist teachings passed down by the Bodhisattva to save the world would become the private collections of those families in the Guanyin Temple. Fellow Daoist Shi, you Guanyin Temple should be ashamed."

Shi Yao was indeed a little ashamed.

"The problems you mentioned do exist in the Guanyin Temple, but the temple master has been working hard to correct them." Shi Yao explained: "The cultivation method of the Medicine-Giving Guanyin was originally controlled by the Hua family. I am not a member of the Hua family, nor have I joined the Hua family, but I still got the cultivation method."

Ji Changsheng pointed at Hua Pinzhen's nephew who died with his eyes open, and said sarcastically: "You are not from the Hua family, but your Shi family and the Hua family cooperate so closely."

Shi Yao couldn't refute on behalf of the Shi family.

I can only try to defend the Palace Master: "The ice is three feet thick, but it didn't freeze overnight. If the Palace Master wants to reform the atmosphere, it won't happen overnight. We can only do it gradually."

Ji Changsheng sneered, "Is it that difficult? Destroy the Shi family, and with the evidence of collusion between the Shi family and the Hua family, you can destroy the Hua family. Then find evidence of collusion between the Hua family and the other four families, and you can destroy the other four families. Follow this pattern and investigate endlessly. It's such a simple thing, but Guanyin Temple has not been able to do it for so many years. You said your temple master wants to change the status quo, but where is the change? Why do I only see Guanyin Temple getting worse day by day?"

At this point, Ji Changsheng volunteered: "I have extensive experience in innovating the atmosphere. Shi Yao, why don't you persuade your hall master to give up his position to me. I promise you that within half a month, the atmosphere of the Guanyin Hall will be completely renewed."

Shi Yao said helplessly: "...Ji Changsheng, even with the combined strength of the thirty-three elders, the Palace Master is no match for them. It's not as simple as you think."

Ji Changsheng said with disdain, "If anyone can do it, what is the need for a hall master? If you replace an ordinary commoner as the hall master of your Guanyin Hall, who wouldn't be a coward and wait and see? Trash is trash, they only know how to make excuses for themselves. Discuss with your hall master, give me half a month, and I'll show you if it's that difficult."

Ji Changsheng held his first wife in his left hand and the decree of Guanyin Bodhisattva in his right hand, with Yu Lao Mo supporting him from behind.

If the master of Guanyin Temple had the courage to give up his position to him for half a month, Ji Changsheng would be able to revive the Guanyin Temple.

No, it won’t take even half a month.

Before his first wife ascended to heaven, he was confident that he could completely transform the Guanyin Temple.

pity.

Shi Yao and the master of the Guanyin Temple are both too low-minded.

"Ji Changsheng, there are indeed problems with the Guanyin Temple, but you are by no means a panacea to solve the problem. As for the Shi family..."

Shi Yao felt a pain in her heart, but she still showed the integrity that a descendant of the Bodhisattva should have: "Since there is evidence, there is no need to punish without teaching, just punish according to the law. You are right, we do need to give an explanation to the people of Qi."

Wei Tingbao was slightly moved: "Friend Shi Dao can sacrifice his relatives for the greater good, and he is worthy of being the descendant of the Bodhisattva."

Ji Changsheng was very calm.

He was not as easily impressed as Wei Tingbao.

In fact, after listening to Yu Qingqing's analysis and the intelligence he obtained about the Shi family, he could judge that Shi Yao should have no direct relationship with the things done by the Shi family.

But the fact that there is no direct relationship does not mean that Shi Yao will not be an enemy.

Shi Yao must bear the consequences of what the Shi family has done.

Just like during the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, all the murders and arson committed by the mixed disciples of the Jiejiao were ultimately implicated on the head of Tongtian, which is why he was so unlucky.

The luck of the saint could not withstand the drag of the "ten thousand immortals" below.

As the eldest brother, if you enjoy the benefits brought by your younger brothers, you will be implicated by them. This is fair. Although retribution sometimes comes a little late, all things are empty, but cause and effect are not empty. When Tongtian was in his prime, all the immortals came to pay homage to him. He was hailed as the first saint in the prehistoric world, and his reputation was much more glorious than his two brothers. When he was unlucky, he was naturally attacked by everyone. Now he has become the most miserable saint, no one else.

Shi Yao is actually more unlucky than Master Tongtian, because she has not enjoyed any benefits from the Shi family. It can really be said that she has come to where she is now entirely due to her own efforts and talent. The rise of the Shi family is holding her back, and Shi Yao has to bear the consequences of the evils committed by the Shi family.

This is the real reason why Ji Changsheng did not kill Shi Yao. Ji Changsheng was thinking that Shi Yao had some unlucky genes, and meeting him was Shi Yao's retribution.

However, there are many people who are more unfortunate than Shi Yao, so Ji Changsheng would not feel pity for her just because of this.

In Ji Changsheng's opinion, it was only natural for Shi Yao to make this decision.

"Brother Wei, there's no need to be so excited. The Shi family is extremely evil. Should the people of Qi be grateful to Shi Yao just because she sacrificed her own family for the sake of justice?"

Ji Changsheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't put yourself in such a low position, and don't put the victim in such a low position. Even if Shi Yao killed her relatives for the sake of justice, and the people of Qi resented and hated her, she should bear it."

Wei Tingbao's face turned stern, and he saluted with his sword in hand: "Among the three of us, there must be one who can be my teacher. I will accept your instruction."

Ji Changsheng accepted Wei Tingbao's gift calmly, and then said to Shi Yao: "The monks of Guanyin Temple need to cut off worldly ties in their practice. Shi Yao, your behavior is beneficial to you and not harmful. Just doing this is not enough to atone for the sins of the Shi family, nor is it enough to compensate for your unintentional protection of the Shi family."

Shi Yao's expression changed slightly, but after pondering for a moment, she was convinced.

"Friend Ji Daoyou is right."

Ji Changsheng discovered the difference between true righteous disciples and evil disciples.

If you seriously talk to those righteous disciples who have good intentions, they can actually be convinced.

Disciples of the Demon Cult...usually can only use their fists.

The road to reforming the Holy Religion is long and arduous.

"All of the Shi family's assets will be handled by Fellow Daoist Ji and Junior Brother Wei. I still have some savings, which I will also hand over to Fellow Daoist Ji and Junior Brother Wei."

When Shi Yao took out her savings, not to mention Ji Changsheng, even Wei Tingbao was speechless: "Is that all?"

Richer than Ji Changsheng.

But compared to the average Nascent Soul cultivator, Shi Yao is no more than a poor guy.

He doesn't have more than a million in savings.

She is a Nascent Soul cultivator with decades of savings, and is the recognized heir to the Guanyin Temple.

Such a small amount of savings is really totally unbefitting of her status.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Especially when compared with the Shi family's property.

Shi Yao blushed slightly: "I don't really need material possessions, and I'm not deliberately trying to amass wealth."

Her talent is recognized as the best in Guanyin Temple in the past hundred years.

With such a monstrous character, no major power would be stupid enough to let such a disciple run around for spirit stones.

Ren Suqiong received such treatment in the Demonic Sect, let alone Shi Yao in the Guanyin Temple.

So she couldn't understand at all: "Brother... What do the Shi family want so many spirit stones for? Can they spend them all? Aren't they afraid that they will be greedy but not spend them?"

She couldn’t figure it out, she really couldn’t figure it out.

Ji Changsheng glanced at Shi Yao.

I felt the resonance of the poor guy.

But he felt that it was because they were too poor.

I can't understand the realm of those rich people.

Wei Tingbao said helplessly: "Young Master Ji is right, Senior Sister, I'm afraid your savings are not enough to repay the karma."

As a disciple of Danqing Pavilion, Wei Tingbao also speaks reasonably.

He previously believed that Shi Yao was not responsible, but after listening to Ji Changsheng's analysis, Wei Tingbao was also convinced. Regardless of whether Shi Yao was responsible or not, she should give a better explanation.

Not only her, but Guanyin Temple should also give an explanation to Qi State.

We can't just uphold justice in public while leaving the victims with no compensation at all.

What kind of explanation is that? Of course, the actual compensation could not be paid by Ji Changsheng and their Danqing Pavilion.

It can only be the responsibility of Guanyin Temple.

This is reasonable.

"The people of Qi need more compensation," Wei Tingbao said bluntly.

Shi Yao nodded slightly: "Friend Ji, you built a clinic?"

"right."

"I practice the Yangliuzhi medicine method to cure diseases of all living beings. When it comes to curing diseases and saving lives, no one in Qi should be better than me now." Shi Yao said: "The Huangquan Sect has been planning in Qi for a long time, and the people of Qi will face more and more problems in the future. If Fellow Daoist Ji does not abandon me, I am willing to practice medicine in Fellow Daoist Ji's clinic for a year, curing diseases and saving lives, to repay the karma."

As the young master of Guanyin Temple, Shi Yao has been practicing medicine in Tiansheng Medical Clinic for a year, so she is sincere. With her ability, she can definitely save many people.

Ji Changsheng felt Shi Yao's sincerity.

However, he frowned and shook his head, saying, "I believe in your medical skills, and I also believe in the magic passed down by the Bodhisattva, but this method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause."

He established Tiansheng Medical Clinic in order to transform the Holy Religion, but he never thought that studying medicine could solve the fundamental problems.

"Learning medicine cannot save the people of Qi, and curing diseases and saving lives is essentially just following the tricks of Huangquan Sect. If you can only steal for a thousand days, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. If Daoyou Shi is really sincere, why not offer the core technology of Guanyin Tears to completely solve the disease worries of the people of Qi."

Wei Tingbao: “…”

Shi Yao: “…”

Others: “…”

Ji Changsheng understood what they meant and sighed to the sky, "You people are too narrow-minded. I am not seeking personal gain. If I get the core technology of Guanyin Tears, I will share it with the world and never keep it to myself."

Shi Yao said quietly, "Friend Ji, if you are really so generous, why would you give away the treasures of our Guanyin Temple to others? The Heavenly Demon Sect is not short of treasures, right?"

Ji Changsheng explained: "The Guanyin Temple is 90% responsible for the fall of Qi State. Of course, the Guanyin Temple should be held responsible."

Shi Yao: "...You are just making a specious argument. You can give up this idea. Guanyin Tears are a treasure created by the Medicine-Giving Guanyin lineage, the Life-Prolonging Guanyin lineage, and the Water-Sprinkling Guanyin lineage. I practice Medicine-Giving Guanyin and have only mastered 30% of the secrets of Guanyin Tears at most. Even if I really want to help you, I am powerless."

"Developed by the three sects together?" Ji Changsheng thought thoughtfully: "It seems that if I want to get the core secret of Guanyin Tears, I have to go to the main hall of Guanyin Temple. Shi Yao, are you sure that Guanyin Tears can cure the diseases created by Huangquan Sect?"

Ji Changsheng is confident in the future development of Wahuang Tears, especially since he has just obtained a lot of core medicines from the Qi State branch of Guanyin Temple. The future of Wahuang Tears is definitely bright.

But that is the future.

At this stage, Guanyin Tears is definitely the most effective.

Ji Changsheng likes to do things quickly, so it would be best if he could get a large amount of Guanyin Tears now.

Shi Yao nodded and said, "Of course, the Guanyin Temple's skills can restrain the Huangquan Sect. If there are enough Guanyin Tears, at least in terms of disease, Qi can be completely worry-free, but it is impossible to have enough Guanyin Tears."

"Of course there is none in Qi State, but there must be one in the main palace." Ji Changsheng said.

"It is impossible for the main hall to use all the Guanyin Tears to save Qi." Shi Yao hesitated for a moment, but still revealed some secrets of the main hall: "Someone in the upper echelons of the hall is indeed in contact with the Huangquan Sect. This is what the ghost mother said. And Qi is shrouded in Huangquan magic... It may be a good thing for the main hall."

Wei Tingbao looked gloomy.

Only serious illnesses require miracle drugs.

The logic is simple.

But as a disciple of Danqing Pavilion, he could not accept this logic.

The Tiansheng Sect, the leading sect of the righteous immortals, does not accept this logic.

"Shi Yao, if you can get enough Guanyin's tears to solve the problems of Qi State, the Shi family's affairs will be settled." Ji Changsheng said generously.

Shi Yao smiled bitterly: "You might as well kill me. Guanyin Tears are the biggest source of income for our Guanyin Hall. They are controlled by the Medicine-Giving Guanyin lineage, the Life-Prolonging Guanyin lineage, and the Water-Sprinkling Guanyin lineage. These three families are also the three strongest families in Guanyin Hall. If the three elders join forces, the Hall Master will have to avoid their edge. It is impossible to get a large amount of Guanyin Tears from them."

After a pause, Shi Yao added: "Combined with the current situation in Qi, I can basically be sure that one of these three families must have reached an agreement with the Huangquan Sect... It is even possible that all three families are cooperating with the Huangquan Sect."

"It seems that we still have to use some means, and we have to start from the main hall of Guanyin Temple."

Ji Changsheng's brain was thinking rapidly.

Putting aside the issue of merit, if we want to solve the problems of Qi State, we also need to start from the Guanyin Temple.

The internal problems of Qi are easy to solve.

But Qi's real problem was not internal, but external.

If the Huangquan Sect and the major forces that are in collusion with the Huangquan Sect cannot be dealt with, even if Ji Changsheng cleans up the internal affairs of the State of Qi, it will only be a temporary solution and the Huangquan Sect will still make a comeback.

However, Yu Lao Mo and Li Huanyan are in charge of the Huangquan Sect for the time being. His wife may also be paying attention to it, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Then we have to deal with the Guanyin Temple first.

Combining the current intelligence with Shi Yao's judgment, it can be confirmed that many high-ranking officials of the Guanyin Temple have already joined forces with the Huangquan Sect.

When their interests are deeply intertwined, it is basically impossible for these people to change their positions.

Especially the three companies that developed Guanyin Tears.

It is difficult for them to give up the wealth gained from Qi's national disaster.

If we can't deal with them, even if we work Tiansheng Medical Clinic to death, we won't be able to save the State of Qi.

But how to deal with them?

Ji Changsheng looked at Shi Yao again.

"The head of the Medicine-Giving Guanyin lineage is now surnamed Hua?" Ji Changsheng asked.

Shi Yao nodded.

"They should know about Hua Pinzhen's death, right?"

"Yes, Master Hua even contacted me before and asked me to get rid of you and avenge Zhenzhen. Fellow Daoist Ji, although Zhenzhen is a member of the Hua family, she has never committed any murder or arson. Her crime does not deserve the death penalty. You are too cruel."

Ji Changsheng said seriously: "Brother Wei, prove it for me. I have never laid a hand on Hua Pinzhen. When Hua Pinzhen died, I was talking to Brother Wei about something. I have an alibi. Brother Wei, am I right?"

Wei Tingbao: “…That’s indeed the case.”

He really didn't lie to Shi Yao.

Shi Yao was a little confused: "If you didn't kill Zhenzhen, then who killed her?"

Ji Changsheng said decisively: "Of course it was the Huangquan Sect monster who killed him."

Shi Yao: “?”

"Forget it, Hua Pinzhen is just a minor character, she is not important, what is important is that the Hua family is looking for trouble with me now. Shi Yao, do you want to save Guanyin Temple?"

"certainly."

"I have a plan that can restore the light of the Guanyin Temple."

"What plan?"

"You send me to the Guanyin Temple. As the messenger of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I will persuade the thirty-three elders to abandon evil and join the light, so that the Guanyin Temple can be great again."

Shi Yao's eyes flashed with great doubt: "How can you convince them?"

Ji Changsheng touched his wife's jade sword and smiled compassionately: "I have special persuasion skills!"
