If you can't be a son-in-law, you have to be sanctified

Chapter 186
Bamboo blasts startle the spring, the competition fills up with noise, and thousands of flutes and drums rise up at night.

On New Year's Eve, but early in the morning, every household in Taixuanjing has already set off firecrackers. The so-called sound of firecrackers is the year's end, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu!
In many Daoist palaces in Dafu, the Tianguan Festival and the Spring Festival are all the most important festivals.

Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new has many good meanings for the people in Taixuanjing. Apart from setting off firecrackers, many people will also hang lanterns and put on couplets saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. It is inevitable to have a reunion dinner at night. , completely surpassing the old year.

Early in the morning.

Sheng Zi and Lu Jing had already ridden out of Tai Xuan Jing.

Originally, Sheng Zi was also invited to Lu Jing's small courtyard yesterday, but Sheng Zi accompanied Su Zhaoshi and Princess Anqing to Dongwang Temple yesterday, and did not catch up with the small gathering.

She didn't come to Kongshan Lane until half an hour after Ning Qiang and Lu Yi left. Lu Jing originally wanted to invite her to sit in the courtyard.

However, Sheng Zi wanted to take a stroll with Lu Jing to Taixuanjing, which is near the end of the new year.

The two walked along the banks of the Zhutai River and chatted for a long time. Sheng Zi also mentioned that he would go to the Jokhang Temple early tomorrow morning to pray for his father in court and his elder brother who was away.

And Lu Jing wanted to go to the Jokhang Temple to see his uncle Lu Chongshan a long time ago.

So there was an appointment early this morning.

Sheng Zi was riding a white horse. The white horse looked quite vigorous. Although his eyes were dull, when he ran, his whole body was full of energy and blood, and his bones and muscles were very hard. It was a BMW that could travel thousands of miles a day.

This white horse was naturally the famous Suheel that Lu Jing had seen before.

Under Lu Jing's body was another horse brought out by Sheng Zi from the Cifu mansion.

This horse has dark hair and a vigorous figure. Although the blood contained in its body is far inferior to Su Heel, it is not an ordinary horse. It is not an exaggeration to call it a good horse.

Lu Jing had never ridden a horse before.

But his cultivation has reached the Great Yang Realm, and his control over his own body and balance are already much stronger.

And that good black horse has already been trained very well. When Lu Jing rode on the horse, the blood in his body enveloped the black horse, and the black horse became more docile.

A black horse and a white horse, paired with a white dress and a red dress, running on the road to the Jokhang Temple, can be regarded as a beautiful sight.

On New Year's Eve, there were not a few people from Taixuanjing who went to Jokhang Temple.

In Dafu Buddhism, the future Maitreya Buddha was born today, so temples all over the world will also celebrate the New Year.

Many ordinary people who believe in Buddhism are naturally willing to go to temples today to seek stability for the coming year.

Lu Jing never thought that Sheng Zi believed in Buddhism.

"I was quite naughty when I was a child, and I always asked my elder brother who was a few years older than me to take me to the Jokhang Temple, Dongwang Temple and several famous academies outside the city.

At that time, I saw many people worshiping Buddha, cultivating Taoism, and reading books, and the young girls always followed suit.

Now that he is an adult, his father is in court and wants to fulfill his ambitions.

My brother has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he wants to practice martial arts and become a famous general through martial arts.

I couldn't help them much, so I simply went to Jokhang Temple and Dongwang Temple to pray for them.

In case there is really an omnipotent Buddha, and if there are really Eastern princes, maybe they can also protect them. "

Sheng Zi is quite free and easy, with long hair reaching to the waist, and the ends of the hair are tied up at will by him. The red dress on his body is a long gown of eight-tone spring brocade, with a cloak of blue clouds and clouds, and light rouge. The upper lip is red, which looks glamorous and a bit heroic.

She bluntly said that she doesn't believe in Buddhism too much, and she doesn't know how Taoism follows nature. Anyway, she went to Dongwang Temple yesterday, and the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve was at night. Tibetan Buddha.

It would be best if it could be exchanged for the protection of the Buddha and the Eastern King.

Hearing Sheng Zi's calm answer, Lu Jing still had a smile on his face.

Although the daughter of the Second Assistant Master's family is sometimes a little graceful and gentle in front of him.

But most of the time, Sheng Zi is still heroic and unrestrained, which is different from other ladies in Xuandu.

The Jokhang Mountain where the Jokhang Temple is located is not far from Taixuanjing.

It's just only twelve miles away.

Because of this, the two did not walk in a hurry, the two horses walked side by side, slowly walking on the official road.

It was not the two of them on the official road, and many sedan chairs were often seen coming and going, and many masters and ladies went to the Jokhang Temple to pray for blessings.

Naturally, there are some Confucian scholars among them. In addition to the disciples of Shulou, there are also students from Guozijian and other academies in Xuandu.

And these students all knew Lu Jing.

As early as a long time ago, Lu Jingcao's copybooks had become popular in Xuandu, and he was also a second-story scholar with a high status in the eyes of scholars.

But a few days ago, Li Guanlong's third brother, Li Yushi, sent someone to attack and kill Lu Jing, but Lu Jing, a well-known cultivator, chased him down with a sword, and finally died on Wulong Street.

This incident caused a sensation, and what was even more incredible was that after killing someone, Lu Jing calmly walked into the Taixuan Palace, participated in the palace test, and won the three tests. I don't know how many people in Dafu called him the leader of the youth.

In the court hall, even Li Guanlong of the Shaozhu Kingdom begged the sage to pardon Lu Jing with the law because he cherished his talent...

These things are in the ears of the disciples of the Dafu, although it is not a secret.

So along the way, many people would get off their sedan chairs and horses when they saw Lu Jing, and salute Lu Jing.

Lu Jing always smiled and nodded in return.

Sheng Zi looked at Lu Jing beside him, feeling a little dazed.

"I still remember that not long ago, you were still studying under the scorching sun, among the rockery and flowing water.

It has only been half a year now, but you have already become the leader of the Dafu youth, and all the Dafu mansions will soon know your name and surname. "

Sheng Zi looked at Lu Jing's side face, his handsome face was paired with a pair of bright and deep eyes, sometimes flashing with a calm expression...

She watched Lu Jing become more and more brilliant all the way, and she saw this face for a long time, so she should not feel how fresh it is, but until now, she is still amazed by Lu Jing's face and even his own unique temperament.

Two people and two horses went up to Jokhang Mountain.

Walking in the breeze in the mountains, Sheng Zi suddenly felt very lucky.

"Fortunately, I told Lu Jing about the trip to the Jokhang Temple yesterday, otherwise I would have missed such a good opportunity and missed the beautiful scenery on the mountain."

The scenery of Jokhang Mountain is really beautiful.

On the not so high mountain, there are only clouds and mist.

The unmelted white snow in the distance is more beautiful with the pines and cypresses independent of it.

The heavy rocks and the towering peaks also have a kind of majesty here.

The entire Jokhang Mountain is actually a temple.

The stream flows, the mist is vast, and there are valleys under the valley, which can be called famous mountains and rivers.

The two walked leisurely in the mountains.

Even Lu Jing felt that the current scene was extremely beautiful.

but……

Nan Heyu, who was also on another peak of the Jokhang Mountain, looked down at Lu Jing and Sheng Zi who were riding a horse and climbing the mountain from afar. Seeing the two talking and laughing happily, she regretted coming to the Jokhang Temple today for no reason.

Beside her is Nan Yuexiang, Nan Dinggui's adoptive son.

Nan Yuexiang was the same as before, dressed in black, with a dull complexion, and seemed to be taciturn.

In fact, it was Nan Yuexiang who discovered Lu Jing and Sheng Zi. When Nan Heyu heard Nan Yuexiang speak, he lowered his head and looked at the boulevard from a very long distance.

For some reason, even now, Nan Heyu is still quite... afraid of meeting Lu Jing.

I always feel that because of many things in the past, Lu Jing has suffered a lot of grievances, but I have never played any role in this matter, and even became the perpetrator to some extent.

And now... Lu Jing is getting more and more brilliant, which is enough to prove that he was a buried pearl from the beginning, which also makes Nan Heyu even more at a loss as to how to face Lu Jing.

"In the mud and dust, but able to break through the ground and turn into a towering tree, a seed that takes root in this world is indeed worthy of admiration."

Nan Yuexiang also looked down at Lu Jing with clear admiration in his eyes.

He didn't have much contact with Lu Jing. The closest time he was to Lu Jing was probably above the atrium of the Jingyin Mansion. At that time, Lu Jing showed his brilliance, got rid of the shackles of blood, and was free.

And after that, this adopted son who was actually managing many industries in the Nanguo government gradually became aware of Lu Jing's efforts to get rid of the cage of the Lu family.

After that, Lu Jingduan sat in the Hanmo Academy of the book building, teaching, and forging a great reputation step by step.

How can those in shackles not admire the boy who rides on horseback with a knife?
Nan Heyu also noticed the approval in Nan Yuexiang's eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to look behind her, and asked, "Grandpa, haven't you come out yet?"

Today, the reason why Nan Heyu and Nan Yuexiang came to Jokhang Temple was to accompany Mr. Nan to visit his late wife.

Nanlao Guogong does not believe in Buddhism, and the reason why he came to the Jokhang Temple many times is because the Jokhang Temple Shinu host is his good friend.

But the Duke’s wife had been eating fast and praying to Buddha for a long time, hoping to eliminate the old Duke’s crime of killing.

And after she died, Grand Duke Nan buried her on the Jokhang Mountain in accordance with her last words.

On New Year's Eve and the New Year's Eve, according to Dafu's custom, the people would not go to the grave to mourn, but Nan Laoguo would come here even if it was an ordinary day, and talk in front of this not so gorgeous tomb.

Today, Nan Heyu and Nan Yuexiang accompanied Nan Lao Guogong.

"Not long after entering, it may take some time." Nan Yuexiang replied like this, then turned her head again, looked at Nan Heyu seriously, shook her head and said: "He Yu, people are in the world, and many things cannot be controlled by themselves. Don’t really care too much about the past.”

Nan Yuexiang spoke seriously, so Nan Heyu also nodded seriously.

She moved her fingertips lightly, and a ray of wind and rain sword energy lingered in it, shining brightly.

Indistinctly, the wind and rain sword energy became sharper and finer than before, causing tiny ripples in the void as the sword light flickered.

Looking carefully, the vitality of the wind and rain sword energy is mixed with a unique divine fire, which is quite extraordinary.

Nan Heyu's swordsmanship... has improved.

"Mr. Lu Jing once said that it's nothing to have a lack of temperament, how can there be perfect people in the world?
Everyone has their own snow, each has its own darkness and brightness, no one is perfect, and even a lack of temperament can also cultivate sword intent. "

At this moment, Nan Heyu was still looking down at the two people walking on the mountain path.

She only thought that the woman in red was the lady of Mr. Sheng Cifu's family, and she was a well-known grand figure in Taixuanjing.

The red dress is beautiful, and it looks even more heroic when paired with a white horse.

But Lu Jing, who was dressed in white beside her, became more and more jade-like.

"The two... are quite a match."

Nan Heyu had such a thought for no reason, and then became a little bored.

The sky is also a little gloomy, looking gloomy.

Nan Heyu didn't realize that her mood would change, she just turned her head sideways and looked down at Qian Xiushui on her waist.

On Qian Xiushui's turquoise blue sword hilt, there were also a few winds and winds entangled.

"In the future, don't be indecisive. Once you have a decision, you must move forward, just like Mr. Lu Jing.

You can go to the things that have already happened, since you can't completely forget them, why should you be too obsessed with forgetting them?

Keep it in mind, to cultivate a storm, even if I have a lack of temperament, I can become my own way. "

Nan Heyu thought so in her heart.

Qian Xiushui on her waist seemed to sense Lu Jing approaching from a distance, and even started to tremble slightly.

"Do you also think Mr. Lu Jing's words make sense?"

Nan Heyu caressed the hilt of the sword lightly. At this moment, Sheng Zi and Lu Jing had already dismounted. The escort monk at the gate led away their horses. They walked side by side and entered the gate of Jokhang Temple.

Lu Jing's face was still calm as always, but his eyes were not cold, but gentle. The white clothes fluttered under the breeze, reminding Nan Heyu of many things he had seen with his own eyes.

She remembered Lu Jing standing in the courtyard of the Jingyin Mansion, and asked softly: "Who stipulates that the disgusting son-in-law and son-in-law cannot defeat the unattainable son of the Duke's Mansion?"

Thinking of Lu Jing standing on the head of the Xie Zhi Rui Beast, expressing his ambitions to Taixuan Palace and even the entire Taixuan Palace.

Thinking of Lu Jingdao's sentence that a wild man was angry at injustice, he wore out the eternal sword in his chest, and then cut off that sword that no one understood.

I also think of Wulong Street, the test in front of the palace, and the two swords that call for wind and rain.

Nan Heyu was full of thoughts, and suddenly felt...

"Since we met by chance in the Jokhang Temple today, it can be regarded as a bit of fate, but there is no need...to avoid it too deliberately."

Thinking of this, Nan Heyu suddenly relaxed a lot, and said to Nan Yuexiang beside him, "Brother, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."

Nan Yuexiang nodded in response.

Nan Heyu walked down the hill a few steps, and suddenly remembered the previous marriage contract, and thought of Senior Brother Yu Xingdao who had given her Jianxin Seeds, who was kind to her and fell in love with her, she hesitated again.

"Brother gave me the sword heart seed, and a feathered sword heart grew out of the sword heart seed, which helped me to flourish in the way of the sword.

And I also gave him a seven-foot jade tool, and this favor has been repaid. "

"But along the way, senior brother is on my path of cultivation, you have helped me many times, and master also..."

Nan Heyu suddenly thought of her teacher, her expectations for herself and her senior brother, and her many thoughts made her feel chaotic again...

After a few breaths of time.

Nan Heyu's eyes moved slightly, and her expression relaxed.

She took a few steps forward... A burst of vitality turned into a breeze and passed by her face, and then her complexion suddenly changed... The Qianxiushui on her waist also quietly disappeared.

Even the temperament of the body and the expression flickering in the eyebrows have become very different.

At this time, Nan Heyu had once again turned into that plain-looking Lingque.

Incarnation of Lingque, Nan Heyu seemed to be much more relaxed, walking briskly, heading down the mountain.

And on another mountain.

The disciple of the Jokhang Temple, the young monk Shenxiu, is wearing a lifetime yellow monk's robe, with a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, clasped his hands together, and looked down at the mountain peak.

There was also a monk standing beside him. The monk was bare-chested, and there were many Sanskrit inscriptions carved on his body, which looked rather mysterious.

If the Primordial Spirit cultivator took a look at it, he would know that these Sanskrit words were mixed with a lot of naked killing intent.

This monk was none other than Lianye, the Buddhist son of Landa Temple who had stopped Lu Jing on Wulong Street.

The two Buddhist disciples stood side by side, but their eyes fell into the distance.

On the opposite side of this mountain is the Dazang Buddha sculpture about 28 feet high. The Buddha sits upright in the seal of a vase.

Under the Buddha statues in the Great Tibet, even in winter, before the stream flows, there is still a middle-aged Confucian scholar in green clothes carefully reading Buddhist scriptures.

His eyes were calm, he didn't say a word, and occasionally he would look up at the big Tibetan Buddha sculpture behind him. Other than that, he looked like a Buddhist lay disciple who had just converted to Buddhism, and he just bowed his head and recited Buddhist scriptures.

Lian E frowned, and when her eyes moved slightly, a killing atmosphere permeated from it.

He practiced the image of the angry-eyed Buddha, wanted to stop evil by killing, and wanted to become the Buddha of punishment. At this moment, he looked at Lu Chongshan who was reciting Buddhist scriptures at the foot of the Great Tibetan Buddha sculpture, and there was a murderous thought in his eyes.

The monk Shenxiu at the side glanced at Lian'e with a worried face, and said helplessly, "Senior Brother Lian'e, this is the Jokhang Temple, a quiet place of Buddhism, and killing is not allowed."

Lian E still looked at Lu Chongshan, and said without taking his eyes off: "Since it is a quiet place, and since killing is not possible, why is there a surge of demonic energy under the Buddha statue in the Great Tibetan Buddha, as if to raise an unprecedented great demon?"

Shenxiu looked at Lu Chongshan, and said: "Chongshan benefactor has Buddha wisdom, but also has a sincere heart, he can understand all dharmas in the world at a glance, but because of the past, he walked out of some evil ways.

He has read thousands of Buddhist teachings, but he has not read the true meaning of the Buddhist teachings, but the true meaning of the Buddhist teachings are all in his heart. One day he will let go of the obsession in his heart, and maybe this world will give birth to a great Buddha on earth, a Buddha of great rigor. "

The Great Buddha on Earth is the respectful name given to the abbot of Daleiyin Temple by people all over the world.

Banyan Midi is the host of Landa Temple, and he is the closest to the real Buddha in the world today.

Lian'e frowned when she heard that the Buddhist disciples of the Jokhang Temple spoke so highly of the Confucian students in Tsing Yi who read the Dharma and cultivated the magic thoughts under the Buddha statues in the Great Tibet.

He turned his head, looked at Monk Shenxiu and said: "There are many evil thoughts in the world, they cannot be washed away unless they are angry with karmic fire, and they cannot be changed unless there is a separation between life and death.

Shenxiu Buddha's son... What if the person in front of him turned into a great demon in one step, and the evil thoughts of the demon head turned into catastrophe, leading all the demons in the world to confuse the world, so what? "

When Monk Lianye said this, he shook his head and said, "A devil cannot be born in the heaven and earth, a devil is a devil, it is almost impossible to wash away all the evils in one's heart and become a Buddha.

The Jokhang Temple is a place of Buddhist Dharma in the world, except for the Daleiyin Temple and the Landa Temple. What if there is a big demon that brings disaster to the world?What if this great demon, who caused disasters to the world, did not turn himself into a Buddha as Shenxiu Buddha said in the end? "

Monk Lianye's tone seemed to be questioning Shenxiu.

But Shenxiu was not angry, with a casual smile on her pretty face, she said to the Buddha in Landa Temple in front of her, "Since the benefactor of Chongshan can have evil thoughts in his heart, he has not been enchanted for ten years, he has studied Buddhism all over the world, and has never escaped into Buddhism for ten years.

Even if he became a demon with Buddhism and turned himself into a Buddha demon, after he got rid of the obsession in his heart, he would naturally regain his clarity. "

Lian E snorted coldly, and said: "It's easy to become a demon, but it's too difficult to get rid of the demonic thoughts...

I practice the way of the angry-eyed Buddha, and I want to burn all the evils in the world with the fire of Buddhism. Unless this person puts down his evil thoughts, he should be punished. It is better to die in the Jokhang Temple than to turn him into a devil. "

Monk Shenxiu sighed, and said: "Brother, the evil in the world cannot be judged in one thought, even the Buddha has to observe the hearts of the world to know the good and evil of the world.

Although the angry-eyed Buddha is in charge of punishment, he never commits suicide. "

Monk Lian'e's eyes flickered, he thought for a while, bowed to Monk Shenxiu, and said, "My Buddha is merciful, and if I commit the precept of no killing among the eight precepts, I will naturally fall into the endless prison and suffer from killing myself." It is my responsibility to erase my lifetime karma before I can cast off my mortal body and become a Buddha.

Since I have a thought in my heart, I want to kill the demon... Now that I see the person who is about to become a demon, I naturally have to take a closer look. "

When he said this, he ignored the monk Shenxiu beside him, but strode down the mountain to Lu Chongshan.

Lu Chongshan was expressionless, looking down at the Kongming Sutra on the table.

The gurgling water, the wind blowing through the tree trunk, the turning of the leaves, and many other beautiful sounds seemed to be isolated by him.

Unlike before, the stiffness and numbness in his eyes was much less.

In addition to the scriptures, there was another phrase on the table case, which was "Ten Years of Life and Death", which Lu Jing once wrote to him.

This queer word has often allowed Lu Chongshan to let go of the thoughts in his heart and let him return to Qingming.

Lu Chongshan was reading Buddhist scriptures with his head down, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.

He looked up, but saw Monk Lianye standing on a boulder, looking at him from afar.

The eyes of the two collided, and Monk Lianye was about to speak.

However, Lu Chongshan looked at Monk Lian'e and said: "There is a saying in the Dharma Sentence Sutra: All living beings are afraid of death, and all living beings are afraid of the sword and stick. Use yourself to save others, don't kill and don't use the stick.

Master, the karmic fire of angry eyes on the Buddha burns all over the world, but good and evil people are not defined by the Buddha, but are distinguished by the people of the world.

Otherwise, the angry-eyed Buddha will become an evil Buddha who uses the Buddha's method to practice his own killing thoughts. "

Monk Lianye's expression did not change, he shook his head and said: "Almsgiver, I practice the method of wrathful-eyed Buddha, and I also know that the wrathy-eyed Buddha looks at the world with wrathful eyes, and can see all good and evil deeds in the world.

Under the evils and evils, there is a need for an ascetic who can observe the good and evil in the world. The eyes of the Buddha are the eyes of this ascetic.

Since you cultivate the thought of killing in your heart, you naturally don't know what is good and evil. "

Lu Chongshan was still sitting under the big Tibetan Buddha sculpture, his eyes were as usual, and he asked softly: "How do you know...the Buddha is using your eyes to see the world?"

Monk Lian'e was silent for a moment, but his expression remained firm, and he said in a deep voice, "If I don't believe in the Gaze Buddha, how can I clear up the demons in the world?"

Lu Chongshan didn't care, and said: "Then in the eyes of Master, am I a human or a demon?"

Monk Lian'e took a few steps and looked down at the Sutra of Emptiness on Lu Chongshan's table.

In just a moment...

But Monk Lian'e's expression was stunned, and then there were murderous thoughts in his body.

He looked up at Lu Chongshan, his angry eyes looked like a majestic Buddha!

"Lu Chongshan... You have completely fallen into the devil's way. If you take a step forward, you will become a great devil who will bring disaster to the world!"

Lu Chongshan asked: "What I study is Buddhism, and what I practice is the obsession in my heart. I want to use Buddhism to clean up an unclean place on the sea.

That being the case, how did I become a big devil? "

Monk Lian'e didn't answer any more, and his killing intent became more and more intense...

At this time, Ling Que was walking under the big Buddha. Seeing this scene, she suddenly remembered that the last time she came to mourn the Duke's wife, Nan Fengmian once told her that this Qingshan scholar was Lu Jing's uncle and also Lu Jing's uncle. The only elder in the mansion who loves Lu Jing.

So... Ling Que's mind was suddenly born, and the wind and rain did not show when she raised her hand, but a tide of sword energy was brewing...

At this moment, a voice came from a distance: "Master Lianye, someone does evil, but if you just pretend to beg, you will feel that he has put down the butcher knife."

"Someone sits under the Buddha and recites Buddhist scriptures all day long, and you feel that he has committed a great evil and should be killed..."

"The Buddha's eyes that see the world and the world in your mouth, are you guessing yourself?"

Monk Lianye, who was about to kill him, frowned and turned around.

But he saw Lu Jing standing far away on a sandstone, holding the wind knife on his waist, and staring at him coldly.

　Today, myosynovitis has been relieved a lot. In the past two days, [-] words have been updated every day, and there is still a day of chapters that have not been added. Tomorrow, more than [-] words will be added. I am a little embarrassed, after all, it will affect everyone's reading experience.
