Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Fuchen Temple, main hall, in front of the northern Buddha.

After Huang Xiyi left, Master Wuwang spat out another mouthful of blood. He bowed his head and knelt, muttering to himself:

"Master, I have tried my best. I have spent my whole life trying to forget and avoid it, but fate plays tricks on me. Buddha can forget, but he can't. If he can't forget, how can Buddha forget? Five hundred years of grievances and hatreds reappear today. This is fate! Master, I used my life to exchange for a chance of survival for our sect, but I can't see through the ending!"

After saying this, he stood up and returned to his own meditation room.

After Zen Master Wuwang left, the Buddha's body lit up, and a row of small words appeared on the table in front of the Buddha. It read: "The thousand-year-old temple turned into flying smoke, and the fate of the three entrances is tied by a red thread; grudges and love cannot be severed by Buddha, and there is only one line left for thousands of disasters and difficulties." After a while, it dissipated into the air.

It is a little chilly in the middle of the night, in Fuchen Temple, Mingzhi is the Zen room.

"You said Fuchen Temple is in Lingxu Mountain?" Shen Yichen asked Senior Brother Mingzhi in shock.

"It is and it isn't! The one here is Fuchen Temple, and the one in Lingxu Mountain is also Fuchen Temple!" The little monk knew that what he said was like a tongue twister.

Shen Yichen shook his head, not understanding.

"My master told me that a thousand years ago, during the war between good and evil, a high monk emerged from the Qihui Mountain. He was very successful in the war, and his Buddhist teachings were so powerful that he suppressed many demons and converted many evil people. This high monk came from the place where we live now! He is also the founder of our sect. After the war between good and evil ended, countless people came to worship us. The founder of our sect moved the Fuchen Temple to the Lingxu Mountain, and this place was demolished."

"It is said that all the houses were demolished at that time, and only the plaque and couplet with the words 'Fuchen Temple' in front of the door were preserved!"

"Why?" Shen Yichen asked, wondering: "The wooden plaque at the door is a thousand years old, it's incredible!"

"Legend has it that an old Taoist priest passed by at that time, counted with his fingers and said something, and the founder of my sect decided to preserve it!"

"What?"

"Life is just a dream, it has a beginning but no end, it will all return to dust!"

Shen Yichen thought to himself: "So Fuchen Temple is really a thousand-year-old temple, even though it's just a plaque!"

"What happened next?" Shen Yichen continued to ask.

"The plaque and couplet have remained unchanged after five hundred years of wind and rain. Five hundred years ago, when my master was ten years old, he came here and built the current Fuchen Temple!"

"What did you say? Your master is over 500 years old?" Shen Yichen was shocked, and Huang Xiyi next to him was so shocked that she didn't dare to breathe.

"probably!"

When Shen Yichen first met Master Wuwang, he thought he was an accomplished monk! But he never expected that Master Wuwang would be over 500 years old! He turned Mingzhi around, looked around, touched here and there, and said, "You are not several hundred years old, are you?"

Mingzhi said helplessly: "I am in my early twenties! The master said I was an abandoned baby. When he saw me, he felt that I had a connection with Buddha, so he brought me back to the temple. Twenty years have passed in a flash! It's so fast!"

Shen Yichen was not interested in Mingzhi's life experience, and continued to ask: "Why did your master come here? Shouldn't he be in Fuchen Temple in Lingxu Mountain?"

"You should know the Buddha enshrined in the main hall, right?" he asked instead of answering.

"I know, it's the Buddha of the Northern Pure Land of Victory and Accomplishment among the Five Buddhas!"

"In fact, Fuchen Temple is dedicated to all the Buddhas of the Five Directions. They are Avalokitesvara Buddha of the Eastern Pure Land of Wonderful Joy, Amitabha Buddha of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Ratnasambhava Buddha of the Southern Pure Land of Joy, Amoghasiddhi Buddha of the Northern Pure Land of Victory, and Vairocana Buddha of the Dharmakaya in the center. The Five Buddhas correspond to the Five Veins of Fuchen Temple. Each vein is filled with eminent monks and masters. My master was a disciple of the northern vein at that time!"

"Oh my god! What you said about Fuchen Temple being a holy place of Buddhism is true!" Shen Yichen slapped himself in the face after he finished speaking! He was really rude!

He nodded knowingly, "What a pity..." but didn't continue.

Shen Yichen was a shameless person. He asked even though he knew that the other person didn't want to say it.

"Does the Fuchen Temple on Lingxu Mountain still exist? Does it still exist?"

Mingzhi was silent for a long time, then said:

"Five hundred years ago, the Fuchen Temple on Lingxu Mountain was reduced to ashes overnight! My master was the only one who survived, and he was playing in the stream in front at the time!"

"Are you kidding me? There are so many masters in the Five Veins, how could they be wiped out?" Shen Yichen said with disbelief. He thought she was lying to him even though she knew he didn't want to say it.

"Monks don't tell lies. What the master said must be true!"

"Then you must know who did it?"

Mingzhi shook his head and said nothing. His master indeed had not told him.

At this time, it was already the hour of Chou, so Huang Xiyi went to the main hall to burn incense and kneel down to worship!

When Huang Xiyi arrived at the main hall, she saw Zen Master Wuwang sitting upright on a cushion with his eyes closed. He had changed into an ordinary monk's robe and his expression had relaxed a lot.

Huang Xiyi finished everything quietly and was ready to go back.

"Please stay!" Zen Master Wuwang called her.

"Mingzhi, bring Donor Shen to the main hall!"

Inside the Zen room, Shen Yichen and Mingzhi both heard the voice of Zen Master Wuwang. They looked at each other, stood up and walked to the main hall. Zen Master Wuwang asked the three of them to sit on three cushions.

Shen Yichen sat there thinking: "Why is she wearing a veil when burning incense? Weird woman, is she wearing the veil that I drooled over?"

"You two, let's go to Lingxu Mountain tomorrow. Mingzhi will lead the way for you!"

The three of them looked at each other, each with their own doubts.

Shen Yichen and Huang Xiyi were both wondering why the other party went to Lingxu Mountain, but Mingzhi was shocked because his master had warned him not to set foot in Lingxu Mountain! Why was he suddenly allowed to go today?

"Master?" Mingzhi was about to ask.

"You all have doubts in your hearts, let me tell you the legend of the Sword Saint of Lingxu Mountain!"

All three of them pricked up their ears and listened.

"The so-called Lingxu Mountain Sword Saint actually refers to Shen Chuyi, the Saintess of the Qingwei Xuannv Sect five hundred years ago!

Five hundred years ago, a stunning genius emerged from Fuchen Temple. My master once said that in time his achievements would surpass those of the founder of the sect. He is my great uncle, and his Buddhist name is Xuan Ku.

Great-grandmaster Xuan Ku traveled all over the world, defeating all opponents, and even defeated Ji Xuanfeng, the peerless genius of the Ji family in Zhongzhou. It is rumored that after Ji Xuanfeng was defeated, he left the Ji family and disappeared. Some people said that he was seeking a higher way to defeat Great-grandmaster Xuan Ku, while others said that he had another mission, but no one knows the details. "

When Shen Yichen heard about the Ji family's affairs, he became excited.

"When Grandmaster Xuan Ku came to Qingwei Mountain, he encountered the calamity of his life - Shen Chuyi, the Saintess of Qingwei Xuannu Sect. Shen Chuyi was defeated the first time, and would challenge my Grandmaster Xuan Ku to a fight every six months. She fought six times in total and lost all six times. In the end, she actually fell in love with my Grandmaster Xuan Ku and pursued him madly, wanting to travel around the world with him. But my Grandmaster Xuan Ku rejected her. He was a disciple of Buddhism, so how could he be deeply involved in worldly love? Moreover, Qingwei Xuannu Sect also forbids the use of emotions. In this way, Saintess Shen Chuyi could not get the love she wanted, so she left Qingwei Mountain and wanted to enter the Tao by killing. She hunted down the people of the Demonic Dao everywhere. In the process, she also encountered her calamity - Xuanyuan Hongming, the young master of the Demonic Xuantian Dao."

Huang Xiyi was suspicious when she heard this. How come she had never heard of the Xuantian Dao of Demon Cultivation? What about Shen Yichen? He was a novice in cultivation, so how could he know all the Taoist sects in the world?

"Saint Shen Chuyi's pursuit of demons angered Xuanyuan Hongming, and the two fought a decisive battle near the North Ming Abyss. Many people went to watch the battle between good and evil. It was a chaotic battle. In the end, the two of them entered the North Ming Abyss together. After a month, they fell in love with each other. No one knew what happened to them in the North Ming Abyss! The final result was a sensational love story between good and evil that spread in the world of cultivation. It was rumored that Xuanyuan Hongming had gone to Qingwei Mountain four times to seek the approval of the leader, but after all, there is a difference between good and evil! Moreover, Xuanyuan Hongming was the number one genius of the younger generation of the Demon Dao at that time, and he is likely to become the number one figure in the Demon Dao after the Demon Emperor seals him in the future!

At this time, Master Xuan Ku traveled around the world and returned to Fuchen Temple. He was sad to find that Shen Chuyi's shadow lingered in his heart. He tried to forget her, but once a person fell in love, it was impossible to get rid of it so easily. Master Xuan Ku was unable to practice meditation and almost went astray several times. Finally, he decided to go down the mountain to find Shen Chuyi. "

Having said this, Zen Master Wuwang paused and pondered for a moment.

"The love between three people is destined to be a tragedy. Moreover, one of them is the first among the younger generation of the evil path, and the other is also expected to be the first among the younger generation of the righteous path. In addition, there is also a love between good and evil mixed in. Alas, it is destined that all three people will be in tragedy.

Shen Chuyi and Xuanyuan Hongming are in love, but what about Uncle Master Xuanku? In the past, love was at your fingertips, but now it is hard to get it. All three of them want to find a way to get their own love!

Shen Chuyi is determined to become a sword master through sword skills. She fantasizes about becoming a sword master, so her master may not stop her, nor can he stop her from loving freely!

As for Xuanyuan Hongming, he was even more ambitious, intending to unify the evil path and compete with the righteous path!

As for Great-Master Uncle Xuan Ku, there were signs that he was going astray when he came down the mountain. No one knew what happened to him afterwards, and he hasn't returned to the mountain for four years!

Until four years later, the three of them died at the same time in the Soul-Devouring Cave in Lingxu Mountain. Afterwards, news suddenly spread in the cultivation world that Great-Master Xuan Ku had murdered Xuanyuan Hongming out of love, and that Shen Chuyi committed suicide out of love. Because they all died in Lingxu Mountain where Fuchen Temple was located, the news became intriguing!

The master didn't have time to figure out what was going on. After all, his uncle Xuan Ku had not returned to the mountain for four years and there was no news at all. At this time, the people who practiced the Xuantian Dao came to Lingxu Mountain!

That battle could be described as brutal and tragic. More than 4,000 people from the Fuchen Temple on Lingxu Mountain were killed in the battle. I came to the creek opposite the Fuchen Temple on Qihui Mountain to play in the water and somehow escaped the disaster!

Later, rumors spread in the cultivation world that due to the battle with Fuchen Temple, the Demon Cultivation Xuantian Dao was seriously injured and returned to the sect to rest. In order to seek revenge and eliminate the demons, the Ji family of Zhongzhou and the Qingwei Xuannu Sect attacked the Demon Cultivation Xuantian Dao and destroyed the sect!"

The final result is that two Taoist schools were destroyed because of the love between three people, and the warning left to future generations is that good and evil should not fall in love! Otherwise, they will inevitably be destroyed!

As for what exactly happened in the Soul-Devouring Cave in Lingxu Mountain, no one knows for five hundred years.

"Senior, why is the Qingwei Xuannu Sect not in any trouble? Only a saint who fell in love died!"

Shen Yichen asked what everyone wanted to ask!

Zen Master Wuwang shook his head, he really didn’t know!
