Chapter 199 Demons Are Demons
purpose?

Zhang Heng frowned slightly.

It is not surprising that Purdue Cihang has a Buddhist background.

Because Pudu Cihang has always been dressed as a Tantric monk, and the moves used are also close to Buddhism.

But say the purpose.

In the movie, the purpose of Purdue Cihang is to absorb the Qi of the dynasty dragon and transform into a dragon, but this is the purpose of Purdue Cihang, not Buddhism.

What is the purpose of Buddhism?
Zhang Heng thought of the chaotic world, the sects that swept the snow in front of their gates, and the enfeoffed demon kings in various places who were constantly being slaughtered. A light flashed in Zhang Heng's mind: "Help the real dragon, and open the wind of the Southern Dynasty!"

In the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the mist and rain.

Because the king of Nanliang was close to Buddhism, Buddhism flourished in the Southern Dynasties, and officials from all over the country liked him, and many temple towers were built.

According to the description in 【Research on Temples in the Southern Dynasties】, there are 840 temples in Liang Shihe, and there are more than 110 temples in the capital (Nanjing), including [-] large temples and [-] nine small temples.

Within ten miles, there must be a temple.

For a trip of ten people, there must be one monk.

Of course, whether the ratio between monks and ordinary people has reached 1:10 or whether it has been exaggerated is difficult to trace now.

But the prosperity of Buddhism is true. In the middle and late stages, all places are controlled by temples. Before officials take office, they must go to the temple to fast for seven days. Otherwise, you will not be able to be an official and the people will not support you.

The so-called prosperity and decline, after the peak of worshiping Buddhism in Nanliang (546), there was internal chaos soon, and then the Northern Zhou Dynasty went south, and Emperor Wu of Zhou exterminated Buddhism (573).

"It's no wonder Pudu Cihang, a monster, can be a national teacher in the capital."

"In addition to his own strength, the Buddhist sect may also contribute a lot. This is to use Purdue Cihang to destroy the luck of the Dasong Dynasty, and then support the real dragon to aspire to the world."

After a rough thought, Zhang Heng found that the plan of the Buddhist sect was very similar to that of Cihang Jingzhai in the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

It's all bad luck of the dynasty, supporting the new real dragon to ascend the throne, so as to achieve their own political goals.

In this way, in this plan, the forces belonging to the Dasong Dynasty were naturally the first to be eliminated.

Great Confucianists of Confucianism, frontier generals who mastered martial arts, demon kings enshrined by the dynasty, and even some sects close to the Dasong Dynasty.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, in A Chinese Ghost Story 2, in a prison in a certain city, there is a doctorate and a great scholar Zhuge Wolong.

According to him, he was arrested because he helped a general write a book and set up a biography.

But Zhang Heng is now very skeptical that this accusation is true. It kills two birds with one stone. The rebellion is false, and the implication is also false.

And behind Zhuge Wolong and that general, there may be more great Confucians and generals arrested, with the purpose of weakening the high-level combat power of the Dasong Dynasty.

Thinking hard.

Purdue Cihang entered the court hall and devoured the dragon's energy, just what happened right now.

But this bureau, I am afraid that it began to be arranged ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even 50 years ago.

Today, it is nothing but a matter of course.

Purdue Cihang is the lore piece, not the first move, and there is more hidden in A Chinese Ghost Story 2.

But thinking of this, Zhang Heng has another doubt.

What role does the Taoist gate play in this plan? Have you seen through the layout of the Buddhist gate?

There should be.

In A Chinese Ghost Story 2, Pudu Cihang finally died in the hands of Yan Chixia and Yiye Zhiqiu of the Kunlun School.

The Kunlun School is the Taoist leader of the Liaozhai world, and is said to be inherited by the Queen Mother of the West.

Yiye Zhiqiu is a leader in the new generation of Kunlun School.

What about Yan Chixia?

He used to be the tough judge of Megatron Kyushu, and the chief arrester of Xingmen.

According to his own statement, he disliked the darkness of the officialdom, so he sealed the gold hanging seal and retired to the world.

And in the rivers and lakes, he didn't do nothing.

On the contrary, he has been traveling the world, eradicating those evil spirits and demon kings.

Such as the nine-tailed demon fox, such as Grandma Shu, such as the old demon of Montenegro, and such as Pudu Cihang
Yiye Zhiqiu represents Taoism.

What about Yan Chixia?

Is he really a lone ranger?

Is it really as he said, have you left the officialdom and stopped asking right and wrong?

Probably not.

In A Chinese Ghost Story 2, he practiced with Yiye Zhiqiu to kill Pudu Cihang. Yiye Zhiqiu represents the Taoism, so does he represent himself?

Zhang Heng pondered that Yan Chixia might have another identity.

For example, the guardian of the Dasong Dynasty who has never shown up.

Even, he may be a member of the royal family himself, only in this way can he explain why he has Xuanyuan Sword and knows Xuanyuan Sword Art.

Because Xuanyuan Sword is the sword of the Emperor, it is very likely to be treasured in the palace.

Every generation, the Dasong Dynasty will choose a sword-bearer as the guardian of the dynasty, and this generation is Yan Chixia.

Of course, whether this is the case, Zhang Heng is only guessing, and there is too little information to make a conclusion.

Even if Yan Chixia was really the guardian of the Dasong Dynasty, his passing of the sword might not have been willful.

Zhang Heng understood.

The founder of the Dasong Dynasty, known as being invincible with fists and sticks, and capable of martial arts.

He is the last person in the world of Liaozhai who has ascended to martial arts. Back then, he dominated the world, beating Kunlun with clubs and Buddhist sects with fists. No one in the world would dare not follow suit.

In the end, he was rejected because he was too strong to stay in the lower world.

Now, this master of boxing and sticks is already a martial artist.

There is no doubt that he must have been paying attention to the world of Liaozhai and his descendants. Zhang Heng has the obvious imprint of the three mountains on his body. Yan Chixia doesn't know what the three mountains in the talisman represent. The ancestor of Dasong, the martial arts immortal, may not be.

"Interesting!"

The more Zhang Heng thought about it, the more interesting he became.

on the other side.

The old frog in the game is not so relaxed: "No, there is a big problem with Pudu Cihang, and the Buddhist sect must have some schemes. I have to inform the other monsters quickly so that they can take precautions."

"No need."

Zhang Heng called to Lao Wa directly, and whispered, "Those people are probably waiting for you to go."

"Ok?"

The old frog froze for a moment.

Then his face changed drastically, and he asked suspiciously: "You mean those monsters who are still active have actually turned their backs?"

Zhang Heng didn't explain, just nodded silently.

In the Chinese Ghost Story series, there is no appearance of the old frog at all.

After these days of contact, he found that the old frog had feelings for the Dasong Dynasty, and he was unlikely to ignore it.

So the question is, where did the old frog go?
The answer is simple.

hang up.

Zhang Heng made a guess.

It should be at this time that he died. Without his obstruction, the old frog anxiously went to inform the other monsters.

As a result, the monster who was notified had turned his back on him and betrayed him to Pudu Cihang. In the end, he was used as a performance prop for swallowing frogs alive.

In the end, just as he had dreamed, covered in blood, his eyes widened, he was swallowed and died.

"How good is this!"

The old frog frowned tightly, already bewildered.

Even the enfeoffed monster could betray the dynasty, so wouldn't others?

The Buddhist plan will never be anticlimactic.

Enshrined by the imperial court, the officials of the Manchu court, he can't believe any of them now.

As for returning to the palace, report the matter to the emperor in person.

That would be even more hopeless. Now that Pudu Cihang is sitting in the imperial palace, the old frog dare not bet on a face-to-face meeting. Pudu Cihang can kill him in a few seconds.

After all, the old frog knows that he can't follow suit, even though his strength has reached the late stage of the Dao realm, he is still a number one existence among the demon kings.

But he has ordinary feet and is not good at fighting.

Even if he practiced the orthodox Dao Jue that the Taizu found for him, he would still be weaker than others at the same level. Facing the world-famous Pudu Cihang, just thinking about it would make him fear three points.

One point plus three points is four points.

There is no need to compare at all, I am afraid that even ten tricks will not last, and basically one meeting will be defeated in seconds.

"You ask what to do, of course."

silence.

Zhang Heng suddenly looked out the window and whispered, "There is a practitioner from Ningfu, and he is still a monk!"

"Monk!"

Hearing Zhang Heng's words, the old frog's face changed suddenly: "It must be for Ten Niang, Ten Niang is in danger!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly asked Zhang Heng: "Master Zhang, my real body is still thousands of miles away, and I don't have time to come back. You must give me a helping hand."

Zhang Heng thought for a while: "You owe me a favor."

The old frog nodded repeatedly.

Outside
"Sure enough, there is a monster!"

A monk stood outside the gate of the Ning Mansion.

His eyes were shining with golden light, he hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "It is not a monk's doing to break into the house. It is better to be polite first and then fight. This family may not know that there are monsters in the house. After I explain the situation, it will not be too late to collect the monsters."

dong dong dong.
With the knock on the door, Ning Caichen soon came to open the door.

"Are you the owner of this house?"

The monk clasped his hands together and asked very straightforwardly.

"It's me, I don't know what the master can do?"

Ning Caichen can be regarded as someone who has seen people in the market, clasping his hands together with a very respectful attitude.

As the saying goes, it is not surprising that many people are polite. Seeing that Ning Caichen was dressed in white, well educated and reasonable, the monk was in a good mood, and said: "Do you know that a monster has come to your house, and you are already in disaster?"

"evildoer?"

Ning Caichen just wanted to say that there are no evildoers in my family, but the next second, he thought of his wife Shiniang.

Let's look at the monk's attire.

Ning Caichen felt a chill gushing from behind, and his legs went limp in an instant: "Is this monk here to catch Ten Niang?"

Bang! !

Ning Caichen closed the door at once.

"Ok?"

The monk also retreated quickly, and almost missed his nose being slapped by the door.

"Benefactor, benefactor?"

The monk shouted again and again, but Ning Caichen didn't dare to open the door anymore, and hurried to the house: "Shi Niang, run, a monk is coming to arrest you."

"Stubborn!"

The monk had good ears and eyesight, and with a slight push, he knocked open the door bolt, and said coldly, "Almsgiver, I came to rescue you out of kindness, why did you lock me out?"

"Husband?"

When Shi Niang came out when she heard the movement, she was startled at first when she saw a monk standing in the yard, and then she felt relieved: "My father is a first-grade demon king conferred by the court, named Qing Gong, and by the way, I also have the title of Qingshi Princess." Title, it’s a monster, it’s not a monster, what does this monk dare to do to me?”

"A sealed monster?"

Hearing this, the monk frowned slightly: "Do you have a certificate?"

"Naturally there is."

Ten Niang took out a jade pendant, and then used magic power to activate it.

I just don't know why, the jade pendant that should show the identity of the word 'Qing Shi', but at this time there is no reaction at all, and Shi Niang can't help but hesitate: "How could this be?"

His complexion changed: "The imperial court cut off my canonization?"

"Hmph, what canonization? I think you are trying to deceive others into me. You are really brave."

The monk became angry instantly, and he was about to do it as he spoke.

"do not want!"

At a critical moment, Ning Caichen hurriedly blocked Shi Niang behind him: "This is Shi Niang, my wife. Although she is a demon, she is a good demon and never does evil. Master, please be merciful and let her go!" Bar."

"Nonsense, a monster is a monster, there is no such thing as good or bad."

The monk raised his gaze and said, "You said she was a good demon, but I just wanted to say she was a bad demon. It's just that she hasn't had time to do evil."

what?
Ning Caichen was shocked.

Is this Xunzi's theory that human nature is inherently evil?

No, Shi Niang is not a human being, but a demon. It should be said that demons are inherently evil.

"Quickly back away, otherwise it will be bad if there is a fight in a while."

The monk stood like a gun with a grim face.

next second.

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Zhang Heng descended from the sky and stood in front of Ning Caichen and Shi Niang: "The monk is wrong. You say she is a bad demon. I don't believe it. I say she is a good demon."

"Who are you, why do you want to stand up for the evildoer?"

While asking, the monk grasped the fly whisk in his hand.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that if the law does not make sense, we must argue the law. I think what you said, monk, is wrong."

Zhang Heng pointed to Ten Niang: "This is a good demon."

"Bad monster!"

The monk reiterated again.

Zhang Heng pointed again: "What a monster."

"Bad monster!"

"What a demon!"

quiet.
The monk looked at Zhang Heng quietly for a while, and said word by word: "There are no good monsters in the world, she just didn't have time to do evil."

Zhang Heng still shook his head: "She is a good monster. I bet she won't do evil in her lifetime. Monk, do you dare to bet?"

"lifetime?"

Monks are not fools.

If he accepts this bet, he will not be able to get rid of the demon today, because Shi Niang has not done any evil yet, so he can only wait for her to do evil before doing anything.

In the same way, if Shi Niang does not do evil for one year, he will have to wait for one year, and if he does not do evil for ten years, he will have to wait ten years.

Above ten years is 100 years, above 100 years is 1000 years.

Shi Niang was born in the demon clan, and she became a human being, and she learned the righteous way of humanity. There is no problem in living for 800 years without any accidents. He will have to wait.

"Using strong words to make sense, the poor monk doesn't bother to use his tongue, so you make a move."

The monk flicked his whisk, simply and neatly.

Zhang Heng was very happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "You monk is very happy, I like it."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Dare to ask Master's Dharma name, where do you practice?"

The monk was dressed in white, and his temperament was dusty: "Poor monk, Jinshan Temple Fahai!"

really!

In fact, Zhang Heng had already guessed in his heart.

A monster is a monster, that's Fa Hai's catchphrase, and the other monks didn't explain the reason first, they just talked about the free and easy fist.

Coupled with the fact that the monk in front of him is very young, but his aura is transcendent, naturally he can only be Fahai of Jinshan Temple who is known as the reincarnation of Arhat.

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"

Zhang Heng also wanted to try this person, so he didn't refuse immediately: "Mao Shan, Zhang Heng, please."
