Chapter 313 White Tiger's old affairs, the weirdness of Hanshui Temple
"Master, this Hanshui Temple is definitely weird."
While eating tofu nao, Bai Xing transmitted sound to Zhong Changsheng.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not suppress Buddhism, it also did not worship Buddha. It can be said that in this piece of land, Buddhism is not manifested.
There are no temples in Vientiane City, the imperial capital. Outside Vientiane City, although there are a few temples that are considered to be at their peak, they are all built by mortals who are below the Martial Dao Jindan Realm. Only mortals go to offer incense and pray for peace of mind.
In the true sense, there are both Buddhist and Taoist temples, as well as Buddhist temples. Zhong Changsheng has traveled this way from north to south, and he has never encountered it so far.
Therefore, Zhong Changsheng was very interested in this Hanshui Temple, which was exaggerated by the people, and the popular monk Miaodi.
Immediately he sent back the sound transmission.
"Is it just this monk Miaodi who is weird?"
"Master, what do you mean, that Shanhe envoy, Xu Qing?"
Bai Xing frowned.
"good."
"Buddhism and Taoism are different ways. Xu Qing is a member of the Taoist Palace. It stands to reason that even if he doesn't sneer at Buddhism, he probably doesn't have much admiration for him."
"But from the tone of these two people, she seems to have a good relationship with that monk Miaodi."
"Even allowing the novice monk of Hanshan Temple to promote Buddhism inside and outside Linjiang City, this is not something that a Taoist palace should do."
Zhong Changsheng said lightly.
"Master's eyes."
Bai Xing nodded, probably because he hadn't thought of this section before, so he seemed a little surprised.
It is not a problem for Buddhists and Taoists to make friends. After all, there are three thousand people in the world, and each person has his own way. Not all people who practice Taoism are good people, and people who practice Buddhism are not necessarily all villains.
If Bai Xing and Monk Miaodi are just close friends, there is nothing wrong with it.
But Linjiang City is under the control of the Dao Palace's Shanhe Envoy. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as half of the Taoist Palace's territory. If Buddhists preach here, if they are replaced by other Shanhe Envoys, most of them will not be allowed.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qing acquiesced to this, and this was what Zhong Changsheng cared most about.
"Shanhe Tower on one side, and Hanshui Temple on the other, master, the water in between is a bit deep."
Zhong Changsheng raised his head and looked at the towering tower reaching the sky in the center of Linjiang City, an obscure halo flashed in his eyes.
Although Shanhe envoys are official positions in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are all held by people from the Taoist Palace. There seems to be some inextricable relationship between the Taoist Palace and the Heavenly Prison.
Zhong Changsheng thought about it, but he still gave up the idea of meeting Xu Qing.
This trip to the south was done in anonymity, and it was not appropriate to reveal the identity of the Silver Robe Commander.
If you don't reveal your identity, there will be no reason to seek to see the distinguished Shanhe envoy.
Furthermore, no matter how you say it, then more than 200 years ago, Xu Qing and her husband desperately defended this Linjiang City, and they can be regarded as the heroes of Linjiang City.
Although Zhong Changsheng had doubts about her relationship with Hanshui Temple, in his heart, he still felt that Xu Qing should be trusted.
The most likely possibility is that she was deceived by the rhetoric of the monk Miaodi.
After all, according to the legend, Buddhism is best at verbalization. Perhaps it is possible that Monk Miaodi could have been deceived by her eloquent words.
Bai Xing saw that Zhong Changsheng's expression changed rapidly within a second, and said, "Could it be that the master intends to intervene in this matter?"
"With all due respect, the water in Hanshui Temple may be very deep."
"Oh?"
Zhong Changsheng raised his eyebrows, "You seem to know something about this Hanshui Temple?"
"It can't be said that I understand!"
Bai Xing said: "It's just that Sun Fan mentioned it by chance before."
"What did he say?"
Bai Xing's voice transmission: "Three months ago, he took me all the way south, and he came to the vicinity of Linjiang City."
"The members of the Black Tiger Sect and I were attacked by a group of people in the vicinity of Linjiang City!"
"We were attacked by a group of men in gray robes on the Luofu River. The situation was very critical!"
"It was during that battle that Sun Fan forcibly ordered me to consume my essence and blood, use my natal supernatural powers many times, step up and hold the opponent for a moment, and then managed to escape from their siege!"
"Later, because of the lack of blood and the loss of potential, Sun Fan felt that I was useless, so he sent me to Kuixing Pavilion, intending to auction it off and make some money in the end."
Zhong Changsheng was also a little surprised when he heard this.
"It turns out that you were injured here!"
"That's right!"
Bai Xing said: "At that time we were looking for a two-headed python along the Luofu River, and the python dived into the depths of the river, so we followed it all the way here!"
"Later, the two-headed python did not catch up, but fell into the trap of the group of gray-robed men, and escaped after narrowly escaped death. The Black Tiger Sect also suffered heavy losses!"
"If it weren't for the urgent need for spirit crystals to buy elixir to help the many elders in the sect who went hunting to heal their wounds, Sun Fan would not be in a hurry to sell me and Lion Heart Zihuo."
"And the place where we fought on the Luofu River was next to a temple!"
Zhong Changsheng frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Bai Xing continued: "I didn't take that temple seriously at the time, but now that I think about it, the three big characters 'Han Shui Temple' are mentioned on the plaque of that temple!"
"Combined with what we just learned, I can almost be sure that there must be a big problem in that Hanshui Temple!"
"Ha ha!"
"Fun, fun!"
Zhong Changsheng said lightly: "The deeper the water in this Hanshui Temple is, the more interested I am!"
"Let's go, let's find a place to rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we'll get on that big boat and go down the river to visit the Hanshui Temple!"
"Yes."
Bai Xing responded, took a deep look at Zhong Changsheng, and immediately lowered his head, burying his head in eating the bowl of tofu in front of him.
Although he has been following Zhong Changsheng as his new master for a while, Bai Xing still feels that his master is a bit mysterious, and even a bit out of the ordinary.
When other people encounter troublesome things, they will instinctively want to avoid them.
The master himself is good, it seems that wherever there is trouble, he wants to go there.
The last time I was in Kuixing City, I could take the teleportation array of Kuixing Pavilion directly to the southern border of the Dynasty, avoiding those who were intercepted and killed, and at the same time save a lot of time on the road.
But he did not take the usual path, and brought himself and the mysterious armored puppet to fight against the interceptors of many sects.
It's the same this time.
Obviously this matter of Hanshui Temple has nothing to do with him, but he wants to intervene.
As if he thought he didn't have enough troubles.
If he hadn't known that his master was somewhat mysterious and even more unfathomable, if Zhong Changsheng hadn't been so generous in his actions, he could have saved himself in a disguised form and helped him achieve the Dharma, Bai Xing really wanted to change his master.
