Fox Song

Chapter 65 A bright future
Chapter 63: A ray of hope

Zixuan and the other two walked very slowly, but Huiming felt like his breathing was about to stop.

He looked at Huijue nervously, fearing that his fellow abbot would take action again.

Just now, he used voice transmission to secretly show goodwill to Zixuan, hoping that she would show mercy. Earlier, in order to escape, Zixuan casually shattered Huijue's hidden world, but in the end she still spoke to give Huijue a way out. Obviously, this was for his sake.

However, if Huijue still insists on staying and subduing them, things will become quite tricky!
At this time, the sleeve of Huijue's monk robe had been torn, and his entire right arm was exposed. His fist was clenched, and the veins on his arm were bulging, as if he was ready to throw a violent punch at any time.

Huijue frowned, staring at Zixuan and the other two, his expression changing from gloomy to bright, as if he was thinking about something.

They walked slowly towards the door and finally disappeared from sight.

His fist slowly loosened, and he didn't strike again!
Seeing this, Huiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his senior brother was also afraid of Zixuan's strength.

Now, the abbot and elders of Xiangguo Temple are not in the temple. If the abbot and the female demon just now have a dispute, it will definitely be a fierce fight.

Although the temple also has a protective formation and some trump cards, the monsters are no exception. Once the monsters go crazy, their combat power will definitely soar, and the damage caused by the warring parties may not be something the temple can bear.

"Huiming!" Huijue suddenly spoke.

Huiming walked forward, "Senior Brother——"

"Who are these three? What do they want to see the abbot for?"

Huiming couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly when he heard that, thinking, I was about to say something, but you didn't listen!
But he remained calm on the surface, and patiently explained to the abbot, "Abbot, this is what happened..."

……

After Zixuan and the other two walked out of the room, they returned to the main hall along the corridor.

At this time, more and more tourists came into the mountain to burn incense. They wandered around the temple, and finally got through the bustling crowd and returned to the mountain gate.

"Sister, that monk just now was so hateful. He attacked us without saying a word and even wanted to take us away. Humph, are we just going to let it go like this?" After leaving the temple, Xiaojing suddenly remembered the previous scene and said indignantly.

Zi Xuan heard this, smiled calmly, and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Xiaojing was speechless for a moment. She felt like she had something stuck in her throat and she couldn't feel relieved until she spoke out. She just hadn't thought about what to do next.

"Are we going to fight them just to get some quick relief?" Zi Xuan glanced at Xiao Jing and asked slowly, "Kill that monk or seriously injure him, and then we'll fight to the death?"

"This..." Xiaojing has always been outspoken. When she heard Zixuan's words, her face changed slightly and she felt that her idea was a bit naive.

Zi Xuan continued, "In the final analysis, we have no conflict of interest with them. Moreover, we are cursed. If we can't solve it ourselves, we may have to ask for help from others!"

"Sister, why were you suddenly so polite at the end?" Lan Lan asked puzzledly.

"The monk Huiming sent me a message specifically hoping that I would show mercy." Zixuan said with a smile, "Besides, the monk who attacked should not be a bad person at heart..."

"It's still easier to deal with the fat monk Huiming." Xiaojing smacked her lips and said, "I still don't like that black monk!"

"Black monk?" Zi Xuan chuckled, "It's easy to change the country, but hard to change one's nature. It's probably the same for being a monk. Many personality traits are hard to change."

Lan Lan nodded and continued, "But the black monk's cultivation is terrifying. He can exert tremendous power just by waving his sleeves! If I fight him, I'm afraid I'll have to use my bloodline power to have a chance of defeating him."

"His cultivation has reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage and is about to reach perfection. In terms of pure magic power, you are naturally no match for him." Zi Xuan pondered for a while and sighed, "There are so many strong people in one temple, not including the top forces. The strength of Buddhism cannot be underestimated!"

"Yes!" Lan Lan nodded, and the smile on her face faded. "It seems that I am still too careless." Lan Lan's words were from the bottom of her heart. If Zi Xuan had not taken action to intimidate her today, and she, Lan Lan, was alone, even if she could escape from Xiangguo Temple, she would probably have paid a huge price.

"Huh? There seems to be a temple there!" Xiaojing suddenly said.

Following the direction of her finger, Zixuan and Lanlan saw a temple vaguely built on the top of another small hill diagonally opposite Yujian Peak in the distance.

However, the temple that Xiaojing pointed out seemed to be small in scale, not covering a large area, and had only a few buildings.

If Xiangguo Temple had not been built on the top of Yujian Peak, overlooking all the other mountains and several hundred meters higher than that mountain, they would naturally not have been able to see it after they came down the mountain.

At this time, the fog in the mountains had not completely dissipated. The temple was shrouded in the hazy clouds, like a silhouette floating on the clouds, and it seemed a little quiet and solemn. "What temple is that?" Zixuan asked Lanlan curiously.

Lan Lan spread her hands and smiled bitterly: "I don't know! It's probably some unknown temple!"

"In Jinling, compared with the nationally famous temple like Xiangguo Temple, which other temple can be more famous?" Xiaojing laughed.

Looking at the winding road at the foot of the mountain, Zixuan smiled faintly and said, "We have nothing to do today, so why don't we go for a walk!"

"What are you shopping for? Shopping?" Lan Lan asked.

"Visiting the temple!" Zi Xuan said with a smile, "Let's go to that temple and take a look!"

Lanlan and Xiaojing couldn't help but look at each other. They had already visited a big temple like Xiangguo Temple, so was there any need to visit a small temple?

Lan Lan sighed inwardly. Sister Zixuan never came to the temple before. Today she acted out of character. It seemed that she had been suppressing her emotions for too long. Once she exploded, it was out of control!

……

More than an hour later, Zixuan and the other two appeared on the stone steps of an unnamed hill.

The winding stone steps are the path leading to the temple on the top of the mountain.

Compared with the prosperous Xiangguo Temple, there are very few tourists here. The stone steps are shaded by green trees and fresh grass, creating a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

The three of them walked along the winding mountain road for more than ten minutes, and suddenly the view in front of them was bright, and it really felt like a bright future - they had arrived at their destination. The temple was hidden in the green trees. The apricot-yellow walls, the blue-gray temple ridges, and the towering green ancient trees were all bathed in the sunset. Xiaojing walked closer and saw the plaque of the temple, and couldn't help but be stunned. There were three words written on the plaque: Linyin Temple.

"Sister, this isn't a knockoff, is it?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask, "Why is the name so similar to the famous Lingyin Temple?"

"Don't talk nonsense! This temple must have some history." Although Zi Xuan was a little puzzled, she still frowned and reminded, "No matter what, remember to respect others!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaojing stuck out her tongue and dared not say anything else.

The gate of the temple was open, and Zixuan looked inside with a look of surprise on her face. The courtyard was relatively small, but there was an extremely large Bodhi tree planted in the courtyard. It took almost two people to hug the tree, and it was tall and green. The tree crown was thick and lush, like a big umbrella covering the clear sky. Lanlan and Xiaojing also saw it later and couldn't help but marvel at it.

The three of them took a look outside and were about to step into the temple to visit.

At this time, a little Shani came out and saluted the three people with his hands clasped together.

Then, he continued to wave his hand and said, "You three have come all the way from Xiangguo Temple. Our abbot has been waiting for you for a long time! Lady donor, please come this way!"

Zixuan and the other two were all shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other in bewilderment.

If I remember correctly, the three of them never mentioned Xiangguo Temple on the way here. How did the abbot know about it?
