However, Xiaoyue's tone was filled with pity and helplessness.
"During these 20 years, no matter how bad the situation was, no matter how the Lu Family forced us, our Cangling World people didn't have any intentions of changing our faith. The Buddhist scripture that descended three years ago made the people of our Cangling World all delighted. "
She smiled bitterly, "However, we have waited for 20 years and there are still no results. To the various Buddhist Venerables and the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha, they probably don't have much time to bother about the wishes of our people. I also thought about how our Buddhist Faction has billions of believers. If everyone has wishes, how would the various Buddhist Venerables bother about them? Who knows when the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha will truly descend … "
When Jingyin heard this, a weird expression appeared on her face. She exclaimed, "Master! Why do you say that? "
Xiaoyue shook her head and didn't say anything.
Zong Shou who was at the side was enlightened. One out of ten, no wonder the Cangling World people hated the Lu Family so much.
He shook his head and could hear the grievances hidden in her words.
However, he didn't know about the wishes of the believers in Cangling World.
Even if he knew, what did the pleas of some people who had nothing to do with him have to do with him?
Did he have to give it to them just because they asked? What kind of theory was that? What kind of logic was that?
However, when he heard those words, for some reason, Zong Shou felt guilty.
However, if he wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, snatch this Cangling World from the hands of the Lu Family. Between him and the Lu Family, it wasn't just one or two battles.
He shook his head and Zong Shou tossed aside those thoughts. His parents' matter, the battle for the direct bloodline. The grievances between him and Lu Wushuang. His conflict with the Lu Family was already problematic enough and he didn't want to be involved in more.
He remembered that Zhao Yanran always said that he was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He didn't want to admit it. At this moment, if that crazy woman knew what he was thinking, she would definitely mock him.
If Yiren found out, she would most probably go all out to help the people of this world.
"Benefactor, please don't blame me. Xiaoyue has lost her composure."
At this moment, Monk Xiaoyue returned to normal and smiled, "Actually, I came to find you for another matter. Over the past few days, I've been observing Benefactor's internal condition and have gained some insights. If I'm not wrong, are you also a descendant of the Sky Burning Lu Family? "
With a light clang, the food box in Jingyin's hand was knocked over. He looked at Zong Shou in disbelief. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of her lips.
It was as if she had never thought that the person she had saved out of the kindness of her heart was actually the evil demon that she had mentioned.
Zong Shou, on the other hand, was calm and composed, "Exactly! Who knows what Zen Master is planning to do? You want to take my life here to avenge your brothers? Or will you chase me away and leave me to fend for myself? "
"If it was 3 days ago, I might have had such thoughts."
Xiaoyue shook her head, "Benefactor, do you know that a few days ago, the Lu Family Yantian Manor suddenly ordered the world to give 10,000 gold and 100 years of lifespan as a reward to find a person with white flames, regardless of life or death? Today, they spread out their claws and fangs to search. They even didn't let go of those places within this world that no one has been to before. This is why Xiaoyue boldly guesses that Benefactor's situation in the Lu Family is worrying. At least you are enemies with the Yantian Manor Head and not friends. Your bloodline is pure and your identity in the Lu Family is definitely not simple … "
Zong Shou had stayed here for several days and roughly knew that the Yantian Manor was the center of the Sky Burning Lu Family's jurisdiction in this world.
The Yantian Manor Head was the ruler of this world.
He was a really smart person and even before Xiaoyue finished, he already knew what she meant.
If they couldn't fight head on, then they would attack from within.
His lips curled up, "You are smart to know about the internal conflicts of the Lu Family. However, the Lu Family has disappointed you. Although I, Zong Shou, have the blood of the Lu Family, I am someone with a different surname. To them, I am just a bastard with a mixed bloodline, a humiliation that they have to get rid of. They have no intention of fighting for the Sky Burning Saint Emperor position. I think it is best if you don't have such thoughts … "
There was no falsehood in his words. Based on what he knew, there were indeed many people within the Lu Family who looked at Zong Shou like that.
The moment these words were said, Xiaoyue's expression changed. On the other hand, Jingyin heaved a sigh of relief, a relaxed expression appearing in her eyes.
"How is that possible?"
Xiaoyue gave out an ugly smile and was about to say something. However, Zong Shou suddenly frowned and looked at the person on the cliff.
He was shocked as the two of them followed his gaze and looked over. Moments later, their faces were ashen white like paper.
Only to see smoke and dust rise up in the distance. A large group of cavalry charged about in the forest. Where they passed, trees were broken and birds and beasts flew away.
They were all Grade-6 Dao Soldiers. There were a total of 2,000 of them who charged outside of the monastery.
Even before they smashed into the monastery gates, those believers who were kneeling down didn't stop.
All of a sudden, blood and flesh flew all about. Hundreds of people were trampled into meat paste by this cavalry.
Xiaoyue and Jingyin's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. They quickly closed their eyes and chanted, "Unlimited Beginning and End."
Zong Shou's pupils constricted and a cold expression appeared on his face.
Without needing to guess, he knew why this army appeared here.
Strictly speaking, these people died because of him.
Behind the Lu Family cavalry, there were tens of thousands of troops that rushed over from behind.
They caused the tens of thousands of believers outside of the monastery gates to flee in all directions and be smashed into pieces.
Those Grade-6 Dao Soldiers were still okay. After they arrived, they just stood quietly outside of the mountain gates.
The other cavalry soldiers laughed out in an unrestrained manner. Some of them waved their whips and chased after the believers to whip them.
Weirdly, although the Cangling World people were dodging, they were numb like they didn't care about life and death at all. Sometimes they even stood on the spot and didn't dodge, allowing the mounts to trample them to death or whip them.
Zong Shou instantly frowned. This situation surprised him.
These Cangling World people were mostly commoners and didn't have the ability to go up against an army. If they resisted now, they would just be asking to die.
However, looking at the situation, they didn't fear death. However, since they didn't fear death, then why didn't they go all out to fight against these enemies?
Just as he found it weird, Xiaoyue opened her mouth, "My Buddha said that life is like a dream, life and death is caused by karma. Life is a continuous line that will go through numerous reincarnations and thousands of lifetimes. This life is just a fragment of this line of life. This is why even if one faces hardships, one doesn't need to be angry and hate. One can bear with it and wait for the next life. If devout believers die, they can enter the pure and peaceful world. Most of these believers had experienced painful and tragic things, and wished that they could die to end it all. They hope for the next life or to enter the legendary pure and peaceful world. Although these people are evil, it is what they want … "
Zong Shou was deep in thought when he heard that. He remembered that the Buddhist scriptures didn't say that.
Apart from reincarnation, the Buddhist Faction also had merit to persuade people to do good.
Why was it twisted to such a state in this Cangling World?
He was furious in his heart. What he hated the most about the Buddhist Faction was that the believers chased the next life, the future.
What Zong Shou cared about the most was the present, to fight for every moment!
"That is because to us, life is so long and we can't see any hope. Rather than living like this, why don't we just die! "
After saying that, Xiaoyue bowed towards Zong Shou, "Just now I did have some shameful thoughts. However, with my current situation, as long as I can help my Cangling World people get out of this situation, no matter what, I am willing to try. If I have offended you, please forgive me. At this moment, the temple is busy, so please forgive me for not being able to accompany you. Jingyin's identity is special, her father and mother both died in battle with the Lu Family. Please take care of her … "
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a change below. A green-armored male rode out from the army.
He looked coldly at the tightly shut temple and casually waved his sleeves.
It caused the old wooden door to shatter. It was also like a signal. The many armored soldiers behind this person charged into the monastery like wolves and tigers.
All of a sudden, exclamations rose up within the temple. The female monks inside were all fleeing in panic.
Xiaoyue didn't dare to stay any longer, her body flashing as she left this place.
Jingyin's hands clenched tightly once more. Just as she was about to leave with Xiaoyue, she was suppressed to the spot by a strong power.
Without needing to think, she knew that it was done by Zong Shou. She instantly stared furiously at him.
However, Zong Shou turned his head and looked back curiously, "Are you also looking forward to the next life?"
Jingyin didn't think carefully, instinctively shaking her head, "Master said that for us Buddhist cultivators, each reincarnation cycle, each life is really important. We can't be numb and we need to fight back. We can't give up everything because we know about the next life. All the ups and downs are cultivation and we need to experience them carefully. "
Zong Shou's impression of Xiaoyue instantly changed.
These words were really suitable for him.
"Since you aren't looking forward to the next life, then let's just wait and see!"
While he spoke, Zong Shou's spiritual sense spread out into the distance. He avoided all Spiritual Senses and covered the entire temple.
A cold and sharp expression flashed across his eyes, filled with killing intent.
In just seven days, he would be able to break through to Spirit Realm and break away from the Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Technique.
He really didn't want Lu Wushuang to notice his tracks at this time.
However, if he had no choice, then he had no choice.
He couldn't let the thousands of nuns in the entire temple suffer an undeserved calamity because of him.
He saved him but instead caused a calamity for himself.
Compared to Lu Wushuang's pursuit, he didn't want to feel guilty towards others.
However, moments later, Sōmorime's eyes were filled with doubt.
The killing intent that was originally raging slowly retracted.
The soldiers below seemed really aggressive, some of them had evil looks in their eyes.
However, who knows if it was because the Sky Burning Celestial Dynasty army was really strict or because they were worried about something. However, within this temple, they followed the rules really tightly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
