After using the Aura Concealing Incantation to leave the Xu Mansion, Shi Shuan walked in a remote alley in the heavy rain. With every step he took, the emotions in his heart dissipated a little. When he walked out of the alley, he was already as calm as an ancient well. Shi Shuan still couldn't cultivate his state of mind to the point where he could turn his head and not have any lingering emotions, but it could be considered extraordinary.
Moreover, because of Xu Jingyi's choice just now, it had brought him some experience in his Taoist heart, and his cultivation had improved a little.
Last night, he spent a lot of time answering Xu Jingyi's questions, and in addition to the arguments of the Xu Clan, it was already early in the morning. Shi Xuan casually stopped a passerby with an umbrella and asked with a smile, "Do you know where the temple of Pudu Bodhisattva is?" He was going to find Madam Fang to see how to deal with the incense and wish power in his body.
The passerby's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect you to also believe in Pudu Bodhisattva. Not bad, not bad. Let me tell you, after worshiping Pudu Bodhisattva, my old illness was cured on its own. It is extremely miraculous and merciful. " The man talked non-stop about the benefits of Pudu Bodhisattva, and after a long time, he smiled apologetically, "On the other side of the Victory Bridge, there is the biggest one in Yangzhou City." Then he explained how to get to the Victory Bridge.
After Shi Xuan entered the World of Cultivation, he was puzzled. There was no Buddhist orthodoxy in this world, so why was there a Buddhist temple in the Central Plains? Later, after reading the ancient books, he found out that although the other worlds did not occupy this world because of the existence of the Shenxiao Palace, they still had to infiltrate and preach. In the situation where the power of the World of Cultivation was insufficient, as long as the other side did not exceed the necessary limits, ordinary preaching was tacitly accepted.
After a few turns, the sky was bright, and Shi Xuan had already stepped on the Victory Bridge. He saw the large temple with green bricks and blue tiles. People came and went, and it was very lively. There was even a medium-sized market in front of the temple, with storytellers, performers, and all kinds of snacks and toys.
Following the crowd into the main hall, Shi Xuan saw the solemn Madam Fang at first glance. She was dressed in white, with a halo behind her head, and stood on a lotus platform. Below her were the two golden boys and girls, De Lin and Hanling, standing on both sides. They also looked solemn.
Shi Shuan still did not have any money on him, so he could only watch as the believers, young and old, offered incense and prayed for amulets. Several nuns standing in the main hall saw that Shi Xuan was idling around and did not look like he was here for sightseeing, so they became vigilant. They were afraid that he was sent by other temples to cause trouble. So a pretty little nun came forward, "Benefactor, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that these nuns were nervous, Shi Shuan immediately replied, "Well, I'm here to look for Pudu Bodhisattva, I wonder if you can introduce me to him?"
They were real. The little nun thought in her heart, but she could not lose her manners on the surface. She could only say with a straight face, "Bodhisattva is a real god. How can mortals see him! Don't be delusional. It's the right way to go home. "At the same time, she signaled several monks to prepare to take action.
Shi Xuan chuckled and said, "You haven't asked Bodhisattva yet. How do you know that she won't see I? Can you make the decision on behalf of Bodhisattva?"
The little nun's face changed. She was about to speak when she suddenly looked absent-minded. Then she looked at Shi Xuan strangely and said, "Then please wait in the quiet room at the back." As soon as these words came out, the other nuns and monks who were listening to the movement here could not hide their strange expressions. They were stunned on the spot and could only watch the little nun take Shi Xuan through the hall and go to the back.
It turned out that Shi Xuan was just a little naughty, but he had not reached the point of flirting with the little nun. So while he was teasing, he released his telegnosis to touch the statue of Madam Fang. Madam Fang naturally knew immediately. Then she told the little nun the decision through the statue and asked her to take Shi Xuan to the quiet room at the back to wait. Since Bodhisattva had spoken, the little nun did not dare to disobey.
"Oh no, is Huixin enchanted by sorcery?" An older nun came to her senses and asked her companion in panic.
A middle-aged nun nodded solemnly, "Maybe it's someone invited by the bad guys in those ruined temples. Let's hurry up and follow them." Then she hurried to the back of the temple with several nuns and monks. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the hall, she saw the little nun Huixin walking back with an uncertain expression.
"Hey, Senior Sisters, why are you in the backyard?" Huixin was very puzzled. She had never thought that it was caused by her strange behavior. She was still immersed in the joy and strangeness of Bodhisattva's decree directly to her.
The middle-aged nun asked directly, "Why did you bring that man to the backyard?"
Huixin glanced at the several Senior Sisters opposite her, "It was Bodhisattva's decree."
The middle-aged nun sneered, "You have only been in the temple for a few years, and Bodhisattva will directly give you a decree? Do you think you are the abbot or the elder? "The other nuns behind her nodded in agreement.
Huixin did not dare to argue, "Huixin is also very strange. Why don't you ask Bodhisattva? So that Huixin will not be confused. "
The middle-aged nun's mouth twitched slightly. Was she laughing at herself for not being able to communicate with Bodhisattva and cast spells from the statue after more than ten years in the temple? However, she and the other nuns did not want to show weakness in front of Huixin, so they pretended to communicate with Bodhisattva.
After this communication, the faces of the nuns changed. Some were happy, some were excited, and some were puzzled. After a while, the middle-aged nun who was the leader smiled and said, "It is really so. Speaking of which, it is really thanks to Junior Sister Hui Xin. This is the first time that I have sensed Bodhisattva so clearly." As she spoke, she took Hui Xin's arm enthusiastically, which made Hui Xin confused for a moment. The little nun could not help but sigh in her heart. Today was really a day of strange things!

Shi Xuan sat in the quiet room for an hour before he saw a beam of golden light descend from the sky. Then, Madam Fang, dressed in a plain white dress, stepped on a golden lotus, and behind her head floated a round of sacred and solemn golden light. Countless faint sounds of prayers and chanting came from the treasure light. Together with the golden petals that appeared and disappeared around Madam Fang, it really made people worship and believe in her. It had to be said that compared to orthodox Daoism, Shinto methods were indeed better in terms of appearance.
Seeing Shi Xuan sitting on the chair with a faint smile, Madam Fang happily bowed down, "Madam Fang greets benefactor. I didn't expect to see benefactor again. It was really a surprise just now. "
Shi Xuan raised his hands and let Madam Fang get up, "I thought Madam Fang had stayed in this temple. Why did you come back from outside?" After all, this temple was the largest in Yangzhou.
When Madam Fang heard Shi Xuan's question, her face showed some worry, "I did move to this temple, but recently it has been raining heavily and the water level of the river has risen a lot. Many believers by the river have come to the temple where I am located by the river to pray for blessings, hoping to protect them from the flood. In addition, many of them have gotten sick in the rainy weather, so I brought my two children to stay in the temple for the time being. On one hand, we can treat many patients, and on the other hand, if there is a flood, we can save some people. "
Shi Xuan nodded. He praised, "You can be considered to have the heart of Bodhisattva. Hey, I was wrong. You are already a real Bodhisattva. How is your cultivation level recently? How are De Lin and Han Ling doing? "
"Thank you for your concern, benefactor. My cultivation level has already reached the equivalent of Daoism's Out of Aperture stage. However, the path of Shinto has always been very slow. I need to gather a lot of incense, so I am not impatient. De Lin and Han Ling have grown up a lot. They are already seven years old. With my help, they have stabilized their bodies. They can also use the power of incense and hope to cast some spells, but they still can't condense the light of hope. "When talking about the two children, Madam Fang's face was full of love and satisfaction.
"I am also happy that my old friends are well. This time, I came to ask for Madam Fang's help with something. "Shi Xuan openly stated his purpose for coming.
Madam Fang hurriedly said, "It is all thanks to benefactor that I am where I am today. Please tell me, I won't dare to disobey." Madam Fang was extremely grateful to Shi Xuan. Not only did he give her pointers, but he also gave her a real Shinto technique.
The Taiji diagram in Shi Xuan's dantian spun, and specks of hope light appeared around him. There were red, orange, yellow, green, and other colors. Madam Fang's mouth was slightly agape. "Benefactor, you have also embarked on the path of Shinto?"
"No, I obtained it by chance. This Power of Vow is not very useful to me. If I keep it by my side, it will hinder my cultivation. So, I have come to ask Madam Fang to think of a way to transfer this Power of Vow and its source to you. "Shi Xuan pointed at the light spots of Power of Vow around him.
Madam Fang giggled. "I didn't expect benefactor to come to help me. This power of hope is pure and abundant. It is almost a third of what I have obtained all these years. Hmm, I have to think about it. "
Shi Xuan knew that this wasn't something that could be thought of in a short period of time. So just as he was about to ask Madam Fang to share her thoughts on Shinto and think about it himself, he saw Madam Fang's expression change. She turned pale with fright and said, "The embankment has been destroyed by the flood!"
Hearing this, Shi Xuan released the Ten Thousand Invisible Elephants Sword. It turned into a clear light and flew out of the city with Madam Fang. Madam Fang was a little puzzled. "Benefactor also wants to help stop the flood?" She thought that people from Daoism wouldn't do such a thing.
"Do you think that I is that kind of cold person? If I don't encounter it, I naturally won't take the initiative to help. Even if I find out later, I won't feel guilty. But if I do encounter it, there's nothing to say except for my ability. If it's within my ability, I can still help," Shi Xuan said lightly.
Shi Xuan's flying light was extremely fast. In a short while, he arrived at the breach. He saw turbid waves rolling and the flood rushing from the collapsed area to the shore. Many fields and villages were submerged. Many commoners climbed to high places and trembled as they watched the water rise higher and higher. There were also some commoners who floated in the water, crying for help.
The commoners on high places had no way out. The flood continued to rage. In their fear and despair, they all prayed to the gods, such as, "Merciful Bodhisattva, please protect me."
Shi Xuan saw the tragic state of the flood and said to Madam Fang, "I have an item that can save the water. Madam Fang, please help me."
"Why doesn't Benefactor personally help?" Although Madam Fang was anxious, she still asked curiously.
"It's all about saving people. What's more, if I were to show my divinity, it would be a lot of incense and power of will. It would be better for Madam Fang to directly help." Shi Xuan didn't mind at all.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Madam Fang didn't refuse. "Benefactor, please give me the item that can save the water."
