The monk bowed his head slightly to Hongji, and he stood motionless in place, and said in a calm tone: "Senior brother Hongji, it is easy to die, it is difficult to survive, it is easy to pick up, it is difficult to put down, the dust has passed, from now on, Hanyun Temple is your pure place." ”

"Senior brother!"

Monk Hongji's voice choked and was carried away by four monks.

Chen Fan stood in place, looking dazed.

The monk Hongji obviously wanted to snatch the dzi from him, and then there was no hope of snatching it, so he suddenly committed suicide instead, what is this?

To say that it is not bad, he did not hesitate to use the strength of the Hanyun Temple to deal with Luo Yisha, and even did not hesitate to blow up a cliff near the reservoir, saying that he was bad, just now he obviously had the strength to resist, why did he take the initiative to give up? This is obviously not completely bad.

The monk seemed to see Chen Fan's doubts, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "I asked people to make tea in the temple, Master Chen, please come here." ”

"Thank you, Kobo Daishi. ”

Chen Fan walked out of the wooden house and walked with the monk on the winding path.

The two came to a secluded meditation room, and after a little monk served a pot of tea, he retreated with interest.

Monk Hong poured half a cup of tea for Chen Fan, put down the teapot, clasped his hands in front of him, and said: "Master Chen must have a lot of doubts, right? Then I will first talk about my junior brother Hongji, he was originally not a member of my Buddhist sect, to a certain extent, he is your senior brother, but he is not. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Fan looked puzzled, he remembered that Sai Huatuo only had one disciple of him, and he had not accepted other people as disciples.

Monk Hongfa waved his hand, "I don't know if the old fairy mentioned the matter of Xuanmen to you?"

Chen Fan shook his head and said: "To be honest, before I went down the mountain, Sai Hua Tuo was just a wine and meat Taoist priest in my heart, as for the so-called Xuanmen faction, I didn't care about it at the time, so Sai Hua Tuo didn't talk to me in detail. ”

The monk smiled kindly, "The wonder of this world is far from being known by the market and ordinary people, and the people who have the ability in the world are often profligate, eclectic people, in fact, before the decline of the Xuanmen faction, once brilliant, its prosperity, even I have not seen it with my own eyes, and why the Xuanmen suddenly disappeared lonely, I am afraid that only the old fairy really knows;

But one thing is certain, the inheritance of the last generation of Xuanmen is almost limited to the generation of your master Sai Lao Immortal, whether it is Li Qingfeng, who later founded the Shenyin Society, or your master Sai Huatuo, or Zhang Banxian, a world walker, after the decline of Xuanmen, he has never received a personal disciple;

Of course, what I said almost never received from the disciples does not mean that they have not instructed others, before the senior brother Hongji became a monk, he had the fate to get Zhang Banxian's guidance and learned some feng shui and I Ching, and Zhang Banxian's seniors are the same brothers as your master Sai Huatuo, so to a certain extent, Hongji is your senior brother. ”

"So, he didn't kill me just now?"

Chen Fan smiled helplessly, but even so, he couldn't hide Hongji's scheming and hypocritical side.

The monk did not deny or affirm it, but showed a look of remembrance," The Four Sages of Xuanmen, the Poison Hand Holy Doctor Saihua Tuo, the Divine Beggar Zhang Banxian, the Formation Master Li Qingfeng, the Miaoyin Master Chu Xianzi, is famous, Hongji Junior Brother naturally wants to worship under the name of Zhang Banxian, but unfortunately Zhang Banxian never accepts apprentices, Hongji Senior Brother in order to apprentice, went south to Lingnan to find the lost things of Xuanmen, never wanted to enter Wushan by mistake, met the local witch doctor, his friend stole the door to touch the golden captain Ruan Yun, the dragon hunter Liu Sihe and so on all died, he escaped, but these people, it is said that they took away the things sacrificed by the Wushan Divine Mother, my junior brother was afraid of the revenge of the witch doctor's family, and since then he has been hiding in Hanyun Temple, I never thought that after so many years, he still failed to let go of the obsession of the year。 ”

After the monk finished speaking, he closed his eyes and twisted the Buddha beads, as if he was sympathizing with the monk Hongji.

Chen Fan was holding a teacup in his hand, his face was expressionless, but his heart was full of shock, what the monk said was originally intended to exonerate his junior brother Hongji, but Chen Fan got a huge amount of information from what he said.

First of all, the monk Hongji went south twenty years ago to find the lost thing of Xuanmen, and this thing is probably related to the carrier of Xuanmen's inheritance - the lost Liuren God Box.

Secondly, Zhang Banxian was in Sioux City twenty years ago, and he also instructed the Hongji monk, that is to say, he has been in Sioux City for at least twenty years, and a person is willing to be a beggar for twenty years, this kind of heart and tenacity is not something that ordinary people can do.

In addition, the words of the Dharma propagation monk explained how Chen Fan got the two dzi from Ruan Xiaoba and from Cuilian, I am afraid that Ruan Yun is Ruan Xiaoba's father, and Liu Sihe is Cuilian's ex-husband, that is, Shasha's biological father.

Of course, there is another point, which is Chen Fan's speculation, that is, after the monk Hongji learned the identity of the witch doctor of Loisa, and knew that after Loisa was looking for the whereabouts of the dzi, he forbears and wants to seize the dzi on Loisa's body, then, the real purpose of the monk Hongji is also to open the altar of the witch doctor clan and obtain the inheritance book of the witch doctor, or in other words, the lost Liuren God Box is related to the altar of the witch doctor clan.

And the reason why his master, Sai Huatuo, went south to find the goddess of Wushan is probably also this.

In addition, Zhang Banxian, who had been in Suzhou City for twenty years, also disappeared, and all kinds of signs solved the mystery in Chen Fan's heart.

"Master Hongbo rest assured, today's matter, let's end here, in fact, the purpose of my coming to Hanyun Temple is just to take a Yin Yang Ding of burning incense and go back to refining medicine. Chen Fan said, placing a gray stove on the table.

The monk glanced at the incense burner on the table, chanted the Buddha's name, and said: " Chen Shizhu is magnanimous, I thank you for my junior brother, after this incident, the obsession in his heart, I think he should be able to let go, but in any case, Hongji junior brother is sorry you are true, in addition, Lao Qu that day and Wushan Holy Maiden Buddha, accidental epiphany, feeling, fell into meditation for a while, it is you who help me wake up, I owe you a favor, although this incense stove is good, but it is not worthy of you, just right, Lao Qu here, there is also a furnace Ding suitable for you to use, it is in your hands, in order to play a greater role. ”

After the monk finished speaking, he got up and walked to the edge of the wall, his hand moved the enshrined golden Buddha, a dark grid appeared, he reached in, and took out a dark purple furnace ding.

Chen Fan's gaze swept over the purple furnace, and it was difficult to take his eyes off, revealing a blazing color.

The purple furnace tripod taken out by the monk is almost exactly the same as the appearance of the Hanyun Ding when he did alchemy last time, but its material is very different. "This tripod is called the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Ding, it is a thing of the Tang Dynasty, it is said that it is the tripod used by Yuan Tiangang when praying for the sky, the millennium immortal is not corrupt and dirty, yin and yang are combined, the fire is in the water, ventilation and fertilization, used for alchemy medicine, the most suitable, Hanyun Temple once had a lot of predecessors imitating this tripod, one of which is called Hanyun Ding, more famous, but compared with it, it is still a lot worse, now, I will give it to you, talk about apologies, heart. ”
