Outlaw

Xiao Baiyu followed Xiao Beichen and left Tianbao Pavilion, preparing to leave for Wanfo Temple.

At this time, Concubine Chen happened to be rushing back from outside. Seeing the two people walking in a hurry, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Didn't I tell you not to run around during the period? Just stay in my Tianbao Pavilion. Why are you going?"

Xiao Beichen told what happened.

Concubine Chen objected: "No. It's too dangerous for you to leave my Tianbao Pavilion now."

This woman actually looked a little angry.

It was a good intention, so Xiao Beichen couldn't be angry.

Xiao Baiyu glared at Concubine Chen and smiled: "Concubine Chen, as long as I am here, nothing will happen. We will go out and come back."

Swish!

Concubine Chen grabbed Xiao Baiyu's hand: "Baiyu, Xuanyuan Sword is in Xiao Beichen's hand. This is something that many people know. Once an accident happens... have you thought about the consequences?"

Xiao Baiyu didn't answer, his expression was very insistent.

Concubine Chen said: "Okay, let's take a step back. Even if someone tries to attack you, you give up the Xuanyuan Sword and give it to the other party. But after all you have seen the other party's appearance, will the other party let you live? In the land of the two Huaihe Rivers, Who dares to openly hold a national artifact like the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Xiao Baiyu patted Concubine Chen on the shoulder: "Concubine, Beichen and I put on our cloaks, hide our appearance, and go out secretly. Is this okay?"

Seeing Xiao Baiyu's persistence, Concubine Chen sighed helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do about you. Okay. But if there's any emergency, call me as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

Xiao Baiyu nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Concubine Chen then gave up and had two sets of decent black cloaks sent to her.

Looking at Xiao Beichen and Xiao Beichen with their bodies and heads covered, it's really hard to tell their appearance. Concubine Chen finally let go: "Go. Be careful!"

……

Xiao Baiyu drove and Xiao Beichen sat in the passenger seat.

Go straight to Fanyin City.

Fanyin City is also one of the seven cities in Dongzhou, adjacent to the Royal City and located in the north.

As soon as you enter Fanyin City, you can see temples everywhere.

The aroma of incense is very strong.

Monks can be seen in the streets and alleys.

It can be seen that the Buddhist atmosphere here is very strong. Not to mention that many martial arts practitioners believe in Buddhism. Even many secular people have special respect for Buddhism.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is the god in these people’s hearts.

Passing by a small shop on the street, Xiao Beichen deliberately stopped and bought some supplements and gifts.

Prepared for Master Dutian.

After all, he is also his young master.

This feeling is very deep!

Xiao Baiyu saw it and didn't say much.

A few hours later, the two arrived at Tianyin Mountain.

This is the holy land of Buddhism in Huaidong.

Extraordinarily solemn.

Climbing can only be done on foot.

Along the way to the mountain, you can see devout believers kowtowing every step of the way, climbing up the mountain step by step.

There was also a mother, carrying her child on her back, all the way towards Biden Mountain.

Passing by here, Xiao Beichen was shocked when he saw such a scene.

Buddhism is different from ordinary martial arts sects.

Its influence is not limited to martial arts, but has spread to ordinary people.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple has become a beacon of faith for many ordinary people.

admirable.

Get to the top of the mountain.

The incense here is even denser and there are countless pilgrims.

The front half of the Buddhist building is open to the public.

The back half of the building is sealed up.

Outsiders cannot enter.

That is the real main altar of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

With the strength of Xiao Beichen and Xiao Baiyu, it is no problem to cross the forbidden wall.

Soon, the two came to the central hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

That is, the Main Hall.

More than a hundred monks in golden cassocks sat cross-legged in the hall, listening carefully to a lecture by an eminent monk in red cassocks.

A solemn and sacred aura rushed towards my face.

Every monk is very powerful.

Xiao Beichen knew that the golden cassock represented the eminent monks of the common generation and was the backbone of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

The higher up the general generation is the Du generation.

This should be the largest existing character in Wanfo Temple.

Further up, there is the legendary E character generation.

However, according to Xiao Beichen's understanding, all eminent monks of the E generation have passed away. That was a peerless eminent monk who existed during the Daqian Dynasty. An existence that even Master Dutian must worship.

Xiao Beichen and Xiao Baiyu stood in the dark and waited for a long time.

After the sermon ended, a group of monks in golden cassocks stood up one after another, saluted with one palm and said goodbye.

In the solemn hall, only the old monk in red cassock was left, lowering his head to collect scriptures.

Xiao Beichen came over and saluted with one palm: "Master Duhai."

Hearing the familiar voice, the old monk was shocked.

Turning around, I saw Xiao Beichen.

Very surprised.

After a while, he regained his composure and returned the salute with one palm: "Donor Xiao!"

Du Hai, Du Tian's junior brother.

He won Dutian's trust and was entrusted with important tasks. He had a good relationship with Xiao Beichen before.

Xiao Beichen said: "Master Du Hai, is Master Du Tian here?"

Du Hai sighed: "Yes. However, senior brother has not been in good health recently..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Xiao Beichen's heart tightened: "Please ask Master Duhai to take me to see Master Dutian."

Du Hai nodded: "Okay, Donor Xiao, please come with me."

Soon, Du Hai led Xiao Beichen through the Main Hall, past the buildings of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and walked along the mountain path.

The further you go, the further you get away from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Xiao Beichen couldn't help but said: "Master Du Hai, why do Master Du Tian live so far away?"

Du Hai sighed: "Master Du Tian originally lived in the Grand Zen Room. But recently..."

Halfway through, Du Hai stopped talking, as if he had something to hide.

Xiao Beichen was no longer calm: "What's going on?"

Du Hai said hoarsely: "Not long ago, Senior Brother Du Tian had an accident while practicing and went crazy. He also killed many disciples of the temple, causing chaos within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple..."

what?

Something like this actually happened in Wanfo Temple...

The compassionate old man who once treated me like a grandfather, actually... went crazy?

Xiao Beichen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"and after?"

Du Hai said: "Later, senior brother Du Yue and I jointly restrained senior brother Du Tian and imprisoned him in the Bodhi Courtyard, a forbidden Buddhist place..."

In the end, Du Hai blamed himself very much.

There were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he burst into tears.

"It's all my fault for not taking good care of Senior Brother Dutian. When he first wanted to temper the Bodhisattva Seal, I didn't agree... Unexpectedly, Senior Brother still went crazy..."

Xiao Beichen was frightened.

The four great seals of Buddhism.

The lowest is the Arhat Seal, which Xiao Beichen has learned long ago.

A higher level is the Bodhisattva Seal. This is almost a legendary existence. It is said that once you master it, you will have unpredictable magical powers.

Unexpectedly, Master Dutian became possessed by evil spirits because of practicing the Bodhisattva Seal...

Even though he heard it with his own ears, Xiao Beichen still found it unbelievable.

Dutian is the most eminent Buddhist monk in Huaidong.

One body of Buddha Dharma reaches heaven and earth.

The compassionate heart radiates to all continents and all over the world. When he was young, he traveled [-] miles westward alone to obtain the true scriptures in the Western Regions. He returned to Tianyin Mountain with countless scriptures and spent the next decades translating scriptures.

A truly great Buddhist man is compassionate to the world!

How determined is such a master?

Will you become obsessed?

Unknowingly, we arrived at Bodhi Courtyard, the deepest and most desolate place in Tianyin Mountain.

There is no one around here, it is a huge barren mountain, surrounded by countless Buddha statues. Because no one has taken care of them all year round, the Buddha statues are all dilapidated. Many Buddha statues are even cracked and missing arms and legs.

But thousands of Buddha statues of different sizes, ranging from hundreds of meters high to four or five meters short, are combined into a Buddha forest. It feels a little more like the profound and vicissitudes of time.

At the end of Fulin, there is a very desolate yard.

It is filled with lush bodhi trees.

Du Hai opened the dusty courtyard.

Far away, Xiao Beichen saw a sloppy old man with white hair lying on the ground grabbing a gecko.

The movements are quite dexterous.

He caught the gecko in a few moments. When he saw someone coming, the old man panicked and yelled, "Don't take away my Xiaoqiang. This is my food..."

Click!

The old man actually threw the gecko directly into his mouth and chewed it.

Within a few seconds, it was all gone.

hiss!

Xiao Beichen was stunned.

Save the sky!

This is my young master!

Actually... is this?

At the right time, Dutian caught a gecko again and was about to put it into his mouth.

Xiao Beichen stepped forward and grabbed Dutian's hand firmly: "Master Dutian, it's me... I'm Xiao Beichen!"

Du Tian turned to look at Xiao Beichen and smiled naively: "Hey, why is your gecko so big? It doesn't taste good. Get out of here! I won't eat you..."

He pushed Xiao Beichen away fiercely and immediately ate the gecko.

With relish.

"Eh!"

Du Hai looked at all this and shook his head repeatedly. He stepped forward to stop him and brought some vegetarian food over for Du Tian to eat.

Ke Dutian knocked Vegetarian to the ground and pushed Duhai away.

"roll!"

"Don't stop me from eating Xiaoqiang."

"Hey, where is my Xiaoqiang..."

He lay on the ground and continued to look for the gecko.

Xiao Beichen's heart was broken after seeing this. He stepped forward to stop him many times but was pushed away...

"Hey. Donor Xiao, it's been like this since Senior Brother Dutian went crazy. I've called in countless famous doctors, but they can't do anything!" Old Du Hai burst into tears: "I still have something to do, and I have to take a step first. Donor Xiao, you..."

Xiao Beichen: "I'll stay and see Master Dutian."

"That's fine. When Donor Xiao was young, he followed Senior Brother Dutian to practice Buddhism. He can be regarded as half of your master. However, you can't stay here for a long time, he will go crazy. If there is an accident, ring the ancient bell next to him at any time. , I will rush over as soon as possible." Du Hai left a word, turned around and left in a hurry.

After walking a long way, I didn’t forget to look back in the direction of Bodhi Courtyard.

The look is gloomy.

Finally, he left.

Xiao Beichen didn't notice anything strange about Du Hai, and all his thoughts were on Du Tian.

He slowly squatted down and grabbed the gecko he had just caught in Duotian's hand: "Master Dutian, if you like it, I will bake it for you. Eating it raw is unhealthy."

After saying that, Xiao Beichen was about to roast the gecko.

puff!

Dutian pounced on Xiao Beichen and snatched the gecko away: "No. I have to eat it raw... I have a lot of geckos in my basement, haha, this one is a female. I put it in the basement to raise it in captivity. It can give birth to many babies. .”

After saying that, Du Tian jumped away.

Xiao Beichen looked at his leaving figure with complicated emotions.

Xiao Baiyu said calmly: "Beichen, Master Dutian has gone crazy. Let's go."

Xiao Beichen said firmly: "No! I don't believe it!"

Xiao Baiyu: "But..."

Xiao Beichen said: "I have never seen a monk as pious, compassionate, and determined as Master Dutian. As long as he has one breath left, it is impossible for him to go crazy. Nothing can break his will. It is even less possible for him to have a fire. Possessed."

"I'm going to go check out the basement."

After saying that, Xiao Beichen took firm steps and walked into the room.

Xiao Baiyu followed.

The two entered the basement.

I saw geckos everywhere in the basement.

Thousands.

It looked very scary.

And Dutian just stood there, letting the gecko climb up his body.

He is very old, his back is very bleak, but he is very determined.

"Beichen, you are finally here."

Swish!

Xiao Beichen was shocked.

He called his name...

Not crazy!

Xiao Beichen stepped forward, excited: "Master Dutian!! I knew you were not crazy."

"Hehehe!"

Du Tian smiled: "Yes, if I didn't pretend to be obsessed, if I didn't pretend to be crazy and act stupid, how could I have survived until now? How could I have waited until you came."

He slowly turned around, his face regaining its former kindness.

All the geckos all over the body fled.

Dutian looked at Xiao Beichen, full of compassion: "Beichen. If you don't come again, I really won't be able to hold on. Fortunately, when I was about to pass away, I waited for you."

Xiao Beichen burst into tears: "Master Dutian, what happened to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?"

Snapped!

Dutian walked up to Xiao Beichen and reached out to pat Xiao Beichen's shoulder: "A big thing happened in Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Although you are not a member of the Buddhist sect, Xiao Qianlong and I are brothers in life and death. The person I respect most , it’s you. Today, I will tell you all this.”
