When the sword light dissipated, two figures appeared. The man was handsome, and the woman was ethereal. They were Mu Qingxiao and Lu XueQi, who had left the Ghost King Sect.
"The Buddhists are rich. Why do you say that?"
Lu XueQi had matured a lot after being with Mu Qingxiao. However, she was still young, so she was still quite knowledgeable. In her eyes, the Buddhists were devoted to Buddha. They even ate vegetarian food. How could they be rich?
Mu Qingxiao shook his head slightly. He had been to many planes and had come into contact with many Buddhists. They said that they would save all living things, but they did nothing with the incense money of the mortals. Instead, they lived in seclusion on the mountain and lived happily.
Of course, this was what he had seen. As for those he had not seen, he did not know whether there were really virtuous or eminent monks. Moreover, the Buddhists were also a kind of sustenance for ordinary people.
Mortals believed that there were immortals in the world who could fulfill their wishes. However, where were there immortals in the world?
Mu Qingxiao did not believe in immortals. Even if there were immortals, they would only be cultivators with terrifying cultivation. Immortals were cultivated by themselves, while gods were conferred by others. He was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he did not dare to call himself a god.
Looking at Lu XueQi's curious expression, Mu Qingxiao pointed to the magnificent palace on the mountain.
"There are at least eight thousand people who come to Mount Meru to worship Buddha every day. Every mortal has to pay incense money, and there are many rich people among them. After years of accumulation, the wealth of any sect is probably less than a drop in the bucket of the Buddhists. Do you think they are rich?"
Hearing this, Lu XueQi felt that it made sense. Looking at the magnificent palace and the mortals walking up the steps to the top of the mountain, he finally understood what Mu Qingxiao meant.
The sound of the bell echoed on Mount Meru again, announcing the beginning of a new day.
The rising sun peeked out a small halo from the eastern horizon, sprinkling the first ray of sunlight on the world.
In the early morning, there were already many ordinary people walking up the mountain steps to the magnificent temple. Most of them held incense and candles in their hands, and their faces were full of piety.
Some of the families even brought their children along to pay their respects. The children were naive and did not feel tired on the mountain road. Many of them were running back and forth in high spirits.
The morning fog was about to disperse, lingering outside the Tian Yin Temple. The air felt a little moist. The monks who woke up early had already finished the necessary morning classes of the day. At the moment, they were all cleaning the courtyard, gently sweeping away the fallen leaves from last night.
The entire Sound of Heaven Temple at this moment appeared solemn and tranquil, bathed in the faint mountain breeze. As the wind blew, there was also the faintly discernible fragrance of leaves.
Mu Qingxiao's gaze landed on the peak of the mountain. After retracting her gaze, she smiled and said, "Let's go up too."
After saying that, he held Lu XueQi's hand and stepped onto the stairs. Step by step, they slowly walked towards the mountainside.
The physical quality of the two people is not as good as mortals. A few minutes later, they arrived halfway up the mountain. There is a temple built here. It is the place where mortals worship incense. But this is only the periphery of the Sound of Heaven Temple. The inner courtyard is not accessible to disciples of the Sound of Heaven Temple.
"Two benefactors, the inner courtyard is an important place of the Sound of Heaven Temple. Please stop."
Mu Qingxiao just wanted to step into the inner courtyard of the Sound of Heaven Temple with Lu XueQi when a monk's voice stopped them from behind.
Mu Qingxiao turned to look. The monk had a smile on his face. He was young but his clothes looked ordinary. It was very different from what Fa Xiang and Fa Shan wore.
"This friend, I am acquainted with your Sound of Heaven Temple's senior brother Fa Xiang. Can you report this to me?"
Mu Qingxiao's tone was kind. When the little monk heard that they were acquainted with Fa Xiang, he was flattered. He carefully looked at the two people and felt that they were not ordinary. Presumably, they would not lie. He quickly said, "Two benefactors, I am only an outer disciple of the Sound of Heaven Temple. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and report to my senior brother."
"Then I will have to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble." After that, the little monk quickly walked towards the inner courtyard.
A moment later, a young monk with white skin, bright eyes and wearing a white cassock quickly came out. It was Fa Xiang who they met on the Kongsang Mountain.
After seeing Mu Qingxiao and Lu XueQi, Fa Xiang sped up and said, "Amitabha. Senior Brother Mu and Senior Sister Lu have come all the way to the Sound of Heaven Temple. It is Fa Xiang's fault."
"Senior Brother Fa Xiang is too polite." Mu Qingxiao slightly returned a bow.
Next, the two people talked about the Kongsang Mountain for a while.
It turned out that in the Ancient Bat Cave, they fought with the remnants of the Blood Refining Hall and finally separated. They did not enter the Merciless Sea. As for Zhang Xiaofan and the others, they did not know.
Mu Qingxiao just casually fabricated a reason. He just said that he and Lu XueQi encountered a trap set by the Evil Sect in another passage. When they escaped, everyone had already left.
"I see. After Senior Brother Mu and Senior Sister Lu escaped, why did you not return to the Qing Yun Men but came to the Sound of Heaven Temple?"
Mu Qingxiao did not hide and said, "I came to the Sound of Heaven Temple to see Abbot Pu Hong."
Pu Hong was the abbot of the Sound of Heaven Temple and the head of the Four Divine Monks.
His strength was outstanding. In the original plot, he had a good performance in the war with the Beast God and Ghost King. Because Zhenren DaoXuan and Zhu Xian Sword disappeared, he became the leader of the Righteous Faction in the final battle with Ghost King. Finally, he went into seclusion and the Sound of Heaven Temple was presided over by his disciple Fa Xiang.
"Looking for my master?"
Fa Xiang's eyes were a little confused. He obviously did not understand why Mu Qingxiao was looking for his master, "My master usually does not see outsiders. I don't know why Senior Brother Mu is looking for my master. If it is a small matter, let me help you."
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao did not get angry and said, "I am looking for Abbot Pu Hong because of Master Puzhi and Zhang Xiaofan's matter."
As soon as the words fell, Fa Xiang's face suddenly changed. He stared at Mu Qingxiao and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was somewhat unfathomable. So he said, "The brothers in the temple are all having breakfast. Senior Brother Mu, why don't you go and have breakfast first. I will now report to my master."
"Breakfast is not necessary. Senior Brother Fa Xiang, go quickly and come back quickly."
"Alright."
After that, Fa Xiang quickly ran to the top of the mountain. The matter was of great importance and he could not make the decision. He was just curious. How did Mu Qingxiao know about the mistakes that Senior Brother Puzhi made in the past?
After Fa Xiang left, Lu XueQi looked around and said, "Are we just going to wait here?"
Mu Qingxiao smiled and took her hand to a wooden chair under a parasol tree and said, "This matter is about Master Puzhi. I think Fa Xiang will soon bring back good news. We just have to wait for a while."
In the plot, because of the guilt of his junior brother Puzhi for slaughtering the people in Cao Miao Village, Pu Hong took care of Zhang Xiaofan. He once saved Zhang Xiaofan's life in the back mountain of Qing Yun.
Then, in front of the wordless jade wall in Tian Yin Temple, he tried to remove the Yin energy on Zhang Xiaofan so that Zhang Xiaofan could learn the fourth Tian Shu.
Puzhi's matter was relatively sensitive. Pu Hong knew the importance of the matter and naturally met him.
