"Fa Hai, do you know that under the river outside Zhenjiang Prefecture, there is a thousand-year-old crocodile that specializes in human form and eats lone people? Why did you turn a blind eye?"

"There is a Lanruo Temple in Guobei County. There is a tree demon that sucks the essence of passers-by and makes people die with hatred. Why don't you hear about it?"

"That tree demon is controlled by a thousand-year-old Black Mountain old demon. He has done many evil things and harmed countless people, but I have never seen you use Buddhist methods!"

"Fahai, even if you have a lotus-like tongue, you can't change your cold-blooded heart and despicable behavior of polluting Buddhism!"

"Although my wife is from a different background, she is an authentic practitioner of Xuanmen. She is kind-hearted and dedicated to good people. She has left a very good reputation in Qiantang County for a year. Whether she is a woman or a girl in the boudoir, every day

Someone who said something bad about my wife!"

"But you, because you have not been able to make any progress in practicing Buddhism and have weakened the magical power of Buddhism, so that you can't advance to the Arhat position, and you have become suspicious of my wife. You always think that she is hindering your future. How wrong are your thoughts?

.”

Chen Zhao's voice was neither fast nor slow, and he said this calmly, making Fa Hai's face turn red and white.

The greatest skill of the eminent Buddhist monks is that they have a lotus-like tongue and a thick skin.

But how could he be like this in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva?

At this time, he really couldn't refute.

That's all. There was a crocodile monster in the Yangtze River outside Zhenjiang Mansion. He knew about it, but he had no intention of subduing him.

Just because this crocodile monster is very sensible and doesn't eat monks, Taoists, or dignitaries, it only eats lone travelers, so naturally it won't get Fa Hai's attention.

But now that I have listed them, Fahai has nothing to say.

This kind of thing becomes more and more wrong the more you talk about it, and the more you say it, the more mistakes you make.

So Fahai snorted coldly and changed the subject: "The poor monk slays demons and never forgets his original intention, but that white lady..." He glanced at Bai Suzhen, and his words were full of hatred: "Stealing the Buddha.

The six golden elixirs given to me hinder my practice, which can be said to be an unpardonable crime."

Regarding the grudge between herself and Fahai, White Snake naturally had no reason to blindly let the officials take the blame. She said coldly: "One thousand seven hundred years ago, when I was still weak, you were collecting herbs in Qingcheng Mountain and almost killed me.

You ate me, but luckily my officials saved me, and then I stole your golden elixir, which was just retaliation!"

Chen Zhao sneered and said: "Can you avenge me for nine lives? I can do it for a hundred lives! Revenge of life and death is of great importance, so I must take revenge no matter what!"

"Fahai, you don't have the golden elixir, but you are just a few years late in practicing. But if my wife is eaten by you, she will lose her life!"

"You actually have the nerve to be delayed by this hatred and still give a plausible defense. It is enough to show that your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

"Good, good!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had been listening to the conversation for a long time, suddenly spoke and stopped Chen Zhao's attack.

"Xu Xian, you are married to Bai Suzhen, so it is natural for you to stand up for her. However, Fahai acts in accordance with Buddhist law, and he is dedicated to defending Taoism by conquering demons."

"Well, let's take a step back from today's matter. Fahai will return to Jinshan Temple to practice. Xu Xian, can you continue your engagement with White Snake?"

Hearing Guanyin Bodhisattva's obvious objection, everyone did not dare to disobey.

Even Chen Zhao, knowing the huge strength gap between the two sides, also knew that he would not be able to capture Fahai today no matter what.

Chen Zhao naturally knew the dangers of cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, but Chen Zhao also understood that if he insisted on taking down Fa Hai today, he might be killed.

Deciding to choose the lesser of the two evils, Chen Zhao immediately said: "Since the Bodhisattva has a purpose, Xu Xian naturally respects it and has no qualms about it."

With great concentration in Fahai's heart, he clasped his hands together again and said: "Amitabha, the Bodhisattva's decree, my disciples must follow it carefully."

Avalokitesvara nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's very good, Fa Hai. You can go back to Jinshan Temple, practice hard, and achieve Arhat status as soon as possible!"

Fahai said respectfully: "Disciple understands."

After saying that, he no longer looked at Chen Zhao, let alone Bai Suzhen. His body was shaken, his arms were shiny, he took the tin stick, stepped into the water and walked away, and soon disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Xu Xian!" Guanyin Bodhisattva said again.

"Disciple is here!" Chen Zhao's heart trembled, and he bowed and replied.

"Buddhism is vast, and there is a destiny for universal enlightenment! Although you are not in Buddhism, if you yearn for it, you will definitely make great progress in cultivation and gain a glimpse of the way of heaven."

Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to save me?

This doubt quickly flashed through Chen Zhao's mind.

Immediately, a little sweat broke out on my back.

How similar is this sentence to the phrase "fellow Taoists have a predestined relationship with my Western religion" that was used in the West to refer to Taoists during the Conferred Gods era?

Normally, after Zhunti said these words, the person opposite him, whether it was an immortal or a demon, would be quickly surrendered by him, fall into his hands obediently, and follow him to the Holy Land of the Western Sect, and become a disciple, or

mount.

There is no way, in the face of absolute strength, neither immortal nor demon is his opponent, and can only be his prisoner.

However, although Guanyin's words are very confusing and do not necessarily require him to join Buddhism, does Chen Zhao have the strength to refuse?

Chen Zhao pondered for a moment, but did not dare to waste too much time. He smiled and said: "Thank you Bodhisattva for your favor. I will not forget the Taoist mind and I will work hard bravely."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva shook his head and said: "All potential dharmas are like bubbles in a dream..."

"Xuan Yuan should be transformed, and martial arts should be revealed!"

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the air, and an extremely powerful spirit god appeared in the air.

I saw that he was a hundred feet long, with disheveled hair, golden chain armor, and a five-color turtle under his feet. He stood with a sword, his eyes were like lightning, and he was flanked by two generals, turtle and snake.

In an instant, his body swayed, and his hundred-foot body became as big as an ordinary person. He smiled and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "I am a poor Taoist, I have seen Bodhisattva."

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw him, his face changed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal. He folded his hands slightly and said to the visitor: "I, poor monk Cihang, pay my respects to the great emperor."

The man burst out laughing: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is so kind and merciful that he saves those who are in distress. The saying that thousands of families have Buddhas and worship the gods together means that you are too polite, Master Avalokitesvara."

Avalokitesvara's jade face did not change, and he said calmly: "Emperor Zhenwu subdues demons and eliminates demons. He controls water and knows the yin and yang of all things. He controls weapons and orders. He is also respected by all people in the world, and the poor monk admires him endlessly. But he didn't know that the emperor suddenly came. The poor monk

I am curious, so I am good at asking questions."

It turns out that this person is none other than Emperor Zhenwu, one of the Four Saints in the North.

Emperor Zhenwu was born in the Jingle Palace of the Kingdom of Wuyu in the Great Luo Realm. He was the son of the king and was named Taixuan. Within a few decades, he became the God of Yujing and sat in Wudang Mountain. He was also called the God of Xuantian to bless the Holy Spirit.

Jun Xuantian God. Folk called him Dangmo Tianzun, the Patriarch of Repaying Kindness, and the Patriarch of Pifa.

The Chu Dynasty was founded on military force, and Emperor Zhenwu has been respected since the founding of the country, so there are many believers.

Emperor Zhenwu laughed loudly: "Bodhisattva, Xu Xian follows my Taoism and practices my magical skills. He is my disciple. I heard that he was messing around on the West Lake, so I rushed to reprimand him. I didn't want to meet the Bodhisattva!"
