The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Chapter 310 Abandonment

Hearing Dugong Li's inquiry above, Lu Peng had no choice but to move out of the queue.

"If you go back to Duke Du, Daoist Yang has already left."

Dugong Li frowned even tighter.

"Why? Daoist Yang has made great efforts in this battle, and the court will definitely reward him greatly. Why are you leaving now?"

Lu Peng lowered his head and wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed it back.

"What does it look like hesitating? Speak directly."

Lu Peng had no choice but to say: "Just now, in front of the two armies, Daoist Yang was plotted against by Xu Hongru and fell into confusion. Hao Jie wanted to wake up Daoist Yang, but he might have been misunderstood by Daoist Yang in the end, so the two sides had a conflict. In the conflict, Hao Jie was killed on the spot, and Daoist Yang also left."

After Li Dugong finished listening, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

None of the people present were fools. Hao Jie wanted to wake up Daoist Yang, but he was misunderstood by the other party. This was a lie to a child.

Lu Peng also knew that what he said was a little unconvincing, but he had no choice but to help his friend round up. After all, he had already left, so should he be given a bad name?

Fortunately, that Dugong Li just gave him a hard look, and then ignored the matter.

Next, Dugong Li began to arrange for tomorrow's battle with the White Lotus Sect, as if Yang Heng had never appeared before the two armies.

Let's talk about Xu Hongru who retreated to Dazhai and barely repelled the imperial court's attack.

Now he is moaning and sighing in the big tent, he has lost his capital in this battle.

Not to mention the golden lion, it has already been taken away by Yang Heng, even the command flag in his hand seems to have been damaged, and he can't use it for a while.

Then the next battle with the imperial court will be a bit troublesome.

He thought for a long time, and after analyzing the strength of both sides, he finally had to come to a conclusion that he might be doomed this time.

But Xu Hongru has not lost his last hope yet, because there is a great god behind him, and that is their Buddha mother.

As long as the Buddha Mother can be invited to come out of the mountain, even if there are as many people as the imperial court, I am afraid that they will not be opponents.

When thinking of this, Xu Hongru let out a long breath, and finally calmed down a bit.

Next, the meeting Xu Hongru convened in the Central Army War, and then the affairs before the general, were temporarily handed over to Li Shun's control.

After that, Xu Hongru left the barracks with Xiao Er, and flew inland on two paper cranes.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Xu Hongru didn't dare to delay at all, and fully mobilized his magic power. The paper crane was as fast as lightning, and it took only an hour to arrive at a small manor outside Jinan City.

After arriving here, Xu Hongru patted the paper crane on the head.

The paper crane immediately understood, spread its wings and landed on the ground.

As soon as the two of them landed, the gate of the small manor was opened, and a little Taoist nun came out from inside.

The little nun saw Xu Hongru hurried forward and saluted.

"The leader is a bit late, the Buddha mother has already asked me to wait here."

Xu Hongru has long been aware of the great power of the Buddha Mother, so he is not surprised.

"Junior Sister, go in and inform me that Xu Hongru is asking to see the Buddha's mother."

"There is no need to report, the Buddha Mother has already passed down the decree, as long as the leader comes, go in and see her immediately."

After the little nun finished speaking, she made a gesture of please.

Next, Xu Hongru took Xiao Er and followed the little nun into the small courtyard.

From the inside to the outside, this small courtyard does not have any luxurious features, it is completely like an ordinary middle-class family.

The little nun brought Xu Hongru to the east wing of the small courtyard, stopped at the door, and said softly to the inside: "Buddha mother, the lord please see me."

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the Buddha's mother came from the east wing: "Let him in."

After the little nun heard this, she turned around and nodded to Xu Hongru.

"Master, Mother Buddha let you in."

Xu Hongru hurriedly bowed to the little Taoist nun, and then opened the door and entered the east wing.

The little girl originally wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the little Taoist nun.

"The Buddha's mother only saw the leader. You wait outside for a while. If you are summoned from inside, it will not be too late for you to go in."

Xiao Er was a little unhappy. When he was in the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, Xiao Er was very much loved by the Buddha's mother.

There was even a period of time when Xiaoer practiced beside the Buddha's mother.

She also met this little nun back then, and she was very polite to herself at that time.

But the Buddha mother was inside, and Xiao Er didn't dare to show her temper, so she could only give a little Taoist nun a fierce look, and then stood outside and waited.

Besides, when Xu Hongru entered the room, he looked up and saw the Buddha mother kneeling in front of a Buddhist altar, silently reciting scriptures there.

When Xu Hongru saw this situation, he frowned, because the one enshrined in the Buddha's eyes was not the lifeless old mother, but an unknown bodhisattva.

You must know that what their White Lotus Sect believes in is the birthless old mother.

But the Bodhisattva enshrined by the Buddha mother has never heard of it at all. In Xu Hongru's view, this is a betrayal of the White Lotus Sect.

However, under the prestige of the Buddha Mother for many years, Xu Hongru did not dare to have any doubts, so he could only turn a blind eye.

"Xu Hongru sees the Buddha's mother."

The Buddhist mother kneeling in front seemed not to have heard Xu Hongru's words, and was still reciting scriptures there.

And Xu Hongru didn't dare to disturb him, he could only wait there with his body bowed.

After about a stick of incense, the Buddha mother seemed to have finished chanting, and then opened her eyes.

"Is there something wrong with the leader coming to me this time?"

Xu Hongru felt a little unhappy when he heard the question. Is there anything about the White Lotus Sect that your Buddhist mother doesn't know?

If you don't know, why did you send the little nun outside to meet me just now.

"I came here this time because the battle ahead is unfavorable, so I would like to ask the Buddha Mother for advice."

There was a bit of resentment in Xu Hongru's tone.

The Buddhist mother heard Xu Hongru's displeasure, she smiled slightly, stood up and sat on the chair next to the altar.

"What's wrong? The two treasures I gave you don't work?"

"It worked at first, but then I met a wild Taoist priest who had a few treasures that could restrain my supernatural powers."

"Oh, there are such capable people in the world? Let me hear what you say."

Now Xu Hongru didn't care about playing his temper anymore, and hurriedly reported the cause and effect to the Buddha mother.

After listening to Xu Hongru's words, the Buddha's mother flashed the figure of a Taoist priest in front of her eyes, and that shadow swayed in front of her eyes from time to time.

It took a long time for the Buddha's mother to wake up from her imagination. She let out a long sigh of relief, and then said: "This little Taoist priest is the enemy of our White Lotus Sect. You and I have attacked him before. He escaped with his life."

When talking about this, the Buddha mother sighed, and then said to herself: "It's really my enemy."

The Buddha's mother said so, but there was no resentment in her tone, but a trace of affection.

Fortunately, Xu Hongru was anxious now, and he didn't hear anything wrong in the tone of the Buddha's mother. He asked anxiously: "Since Auntie is like this, then please invite the Buddha's mother to come out of the mountain. When the time comes, with the help of the Buddha's mother's supernatural power, I will be able to fight you." Withdraw from the imperial court's attack."

The Buddha mother shook her head and said, "I am a monk who cultivates the Tao, and I don't do common things. Don't mention this matter again."

Xu Hongru didn't give up, "Why don't the Buddha Mother give me one or two more treasures."

"Hehe, what do you think that baby is?"

Xu Hongru heard something was wrong from the tone of the Buddha's mother. He raised his head bravely, stared closely at the eyes of the Buddha's mother, and said word by word: "The Buddha's mother taught me the way, let me Xingsheng Bailian, the situation is critical now, the Buddha mother will not die, will she?"

The Buddha Mother was not angry, but said in a flat tone: "I taught you the Bailian Dao Dharma just because you and I have a predestined relationship. Now that the predestined relationship is over, you should do it yourself."

After the Buddha mother finished speaking, she closed her eyes and stopped talking to Xu Hongru.

The reason why the mother of the Buddha is so decisive is also because during this period of time she has collected almost all the luck of the White Lotus Sect by virtue of the secret method.

Because of this, the White Lotus Sect is of no use to her now and can be easily discarded.

But Xu Hongru was annoyed after hearing the words of the Buddha's mother.

"Mother Buddha, what you said is wrong. There are countless believers in the White Lotus Sect. They all follow the orders of Mother Buddha. Now that something is wrong, Mother Buddha wants to abandon them. Are you really so ruthless?"

The Buddha mother calmly opened her eyes, looked at Xu Hongru coldly, and said, "I taught you the Taoism of the White Lotus, just to save all sentient beings, but never to make you rebel. Everything you have now is yours." What does it have to do with me because of my ambition?"

"Mother Buddha's words are wrong. Only by establishing a heaven on earth can the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. What is wrong with what I did?"

The Buddha's mother looked at Xu Hongru's hideous face, but said nothing.

In fact, she had already expected today's result. This is just because the opponent's strength has expanded and his ambitions have become greater, so he has lost his mind.

The Buddha Mother has encountered this situation several times before, but the Buddha Mother did not intervene to remind her, because this result is exactly what she wants, and she will be able to harvest the sect's luck smoothly by then.

"If you don't want to speculate, then don't say it, but let me remind you, now that the White Lotus Sect is beyond control, you should hurry up and retreat, maybe you can save your life."

"Haha, although I, Xu Hongru, am not talented, I am not so thick-skinned that I can leave countless believers behind and enjoy peace alone."

After Xu Hongru said this sentence, he gave the Buddha mother a disdainful look, and then walked out of the room with a straight back.

The Buddha's mother looked at Xu Hongru who was leaving, her face was still very calm, as if she didn't care about Xu Hongru's irony.

Besides, Xu Hongru left the room, and said to Xiao Er who was standing outside the door: "Let's go, this is not the place we should stay."

Chapter 311

The Buddha mother looked at Xu Hongru who left angrily, shook her head slightly, and then sighed.

Since the luck of the White Lotus Sect has been almost absorbed by the Buddha's mother, the current White Lotus Sect is just at the end of its strength.

Therefore, even if the Buddha's mother takes the initiative, she will definitely encounter various difficulties and eventually fall short.

But the Buddha's mother's eyes soon became firm.She stood up and knelt again in front of the statue of Guangming Bodhisattva and prayed silently.

I don't know if she is praying for her own infinite life, or for the countless innocent believers of the White Lotus Sect.

Besides, after Xu Hongru left Buddha's mother in anger, he stood on the street and looked at the people passing by, feeling a little confused.

Now the imperial court's offensive is one wave after another, and he himself was defeated by Taoist Yang. One of the two proud magic weapons was damaged and could not be used, and the other was also taken away by the opponent.

Although he still has a few treasures in his hands, these things are still unable to turn the tide.

Standing beside Xu Hongru, Xiaoer saw his master showing a confused and timid look for the first time, with a hint of distress in his eyes.

Although the master also has the intention of using her, it is undeniable that he worked hard for the White Lotus Sect, allowing many poor and low-level people to gain collective power and barely survive.

Based on this alone, Xiao Er has great admiration for this master.

"Master, don't worry, we have many believers, as long as we regroup, we can still fight against the imperial army."

After listening to Xiaoer's words, Xu Hongru forced a smile, and then said softly to Xiaoer: "Your parents, I have already arranged for you to leave elsewhere."

When Xiao Er heard this, she was startled, and then there was a surge of grief and anger.

"Master, do you look down on me as a little girl?"

"Where did this come from?"

"Then why did the master let me run away?"

Xu Hongru sighed, "I think our Bailian Sect's luck has been exhausted. I'm afraid this battle will not be able to recover. To plan for the future, as a teacher, I will let you endure humiliation and plan for the future."

In fact, Xu Hongru didn't want a little girl to take on such a heavy responsibility, but among his apprentices, there were quite a few who were brave and ruthless, but Xiao Er was the only one who really learned the magic to his bones.

Therefore, Xu Hongru had to hand over the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the White Lotus Sect to Xiaoer.

Another one is that when Xu Hongru founded the White Lotus Sect, he had been by his parents' side all the time, and he had thoroughly learned the process of the Buddha's mother making the White Lotus Sect from scratch.

Therefore, he knew that in the early stage of preaching, if the leader was a woman, he would get a lot of convenience.

Xiao Er stood beside him, lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head to face his master, and said firmly, "Okay, I will obey the master's orders."

Xu Hongru nodded in relief, then took out a treasure from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Er.

"This is the order flag given to me by the Buddha's mother, but it is a little damaged now. You should bring it by your side for a good sacrifice. When you revive the White Lotus Sect in the future, it will be a great help for you."

Xiaoer has been by Xu Hongru's side all the time, she knows the power of this command flag, and now seeing that the master gave her all this treasure, her heart sank.

Because there is a little bit of hope, it is impossible for Xu Hongru to give this treasure to himself.
