Chapter Thirty-Three Holding Back

  "Miss Bai hurriedly said: 'Young Master Xu, you mustn't!'"

  Xu Xian sighed bitterly in his heart: Indeed, what one fears comes true. Can it be that he still can't escape this fate of becoming a monk?

  Fa Hai said: "Shi Yue, what do you think?"

  Xu Xian furrowed his brow and said: "Master, must it be this way?"

  Fa Hai clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and remained silent, and in his heart he didn't know what plan he was making either.

  "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't interfere arbitrarily!"

  Xu Xian thought to himself: The cause and effect of a thousand years ago was also triggered by myself, and now I find it hard to keep the promise I made at the beginning. Although I clearly know that I don't owe her anything, I always feel like I've let down the deep affection in the depths of my heart, and I'm filled with guilt and regret. Now that things have come to this point, among the three people

  The grudges between us can no longer be clarified, what else can I do for you? If I can take this calamity for you, it would not have been a waste to cross over this time.

  I hope Mingyu won't be too shocked when he sees his bald self! Xian thought with some resentment:

  Anyway, it's just looking and can't eat, no different from being a monk. Maybe she will be more fond of her new hairstyle.

  Thinking of this, Xu Xian joined his hands together and bowed: "Alright! Master, just as you said..."

  I wish you would agree not to trouble Miss Bai again, and I will become a monk for the rest of my life.

  Fa Hai exclaimed in surprise: "You really want to marry a ghost?" He glanced around, but didn't say the words "ghost" or "monster". Moreover, he believed that even if he didn't say it, Xu Xian wouldn't be able to see through it even after another hundred years of cultivation.

  Bai Su is a snake demon. This might be fate.

  Bai Suzhen was deeply moved for a moment, and muttered in her heart: Is it the same again? Like a thousand years ago...

  For example, he was caught by himself and relied on him to survive. Now he is a monk for his own sake again.

  No, it's different now, I'm no longer that weak little snake, but a White Snake with a thousand years of Taoist practice.

  "Fa Hai, you use gratitude and resentment to manipulate others, what kind of high monk are you? Now you dare to compete with me in a contest of strength?"

  Really?

  Fa Hai's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, and he said, "This is my own business, don't interfere. Since my disciple has spoken, you can leave!" As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Xu Xian's shoulder and transformed into a golden light, flying away towards the Flying Cow Lingyin Temple.

  Toward.

  Xu Xianfei felt as if he was riding on clouds and driving the wind, it was so swift. He thought to himself: My master is indeed skilled in the art of flight, I must learn this skill. Later, when I fly to the capital to meet with Ming Yu, won't it be convenient? Moreover, as a monk, I may even have more opportunities to interact with her.

  It's only troublesome during the imperial examination, probably need to cover my head. But just being a monk and glorifying my ancestors is probably still okay. But if I want to pass on my lineage, it's troublesome, do I have to become a lustful monk myself?

  In this world, monks and Taoist priests can also participate in the imperial examination.

  It's just that among the officials, there are those who wear a hat while hearing cases in front of the hall, but take it off and kowtow to Buddha with a shaved head behind the hall. It's not like they don't exist. They will definitely be affected by promotion, so they leave, but most of them are particular about being carefree and self-entertaining, and don't put promotion in their hearts.

  Of course, there is one thing that is definitely not going to happen, and that is getting married. However, Xu Xian now only wants to marry Mingyu, but thinking about it, he probably won't have this chance in this lifetime. So, gritting his teeth and stomping his foot,

  I have become a monk.

  Fahai would have thrown him down from the sky in a fit of rage if he knew his disciple's mind, who wanted to marry and learn magic with a woman, or become a lustful monk, but now he has his own plan.

  Fa Hai left, and the atmosphere by the lake relaxed a bit. Xiao Qing's disheveled hair was still in shock: "Sister, this monk is so formidable, I didn't expect you to have such a great enemy. Let's hurry up and leave Hangzhou."

  "Provincial governor, go back to Qingfeng Cave to cultivate!"

  "However, Master Xu..."

  Xiao Qing said: "It was Master Xu's own fault that he left home, we couldn't stop him, let's think of another way"

  "Let's repay his kindness by helping him find some Lingzhi and Xiancao, so he can become a immortal as soon as possible!"

  Bai Suzhen sighed: "If he really became a monk for himself, wouldn't he owe more to others!"

  Moreover, how can he forget his deep affection for himself?

  Apart from Xu Xian himself, no one present thought that Xu Xian was helping Bai Suzhen for no reason.

  Su Zhen, it's not that good people don't do such things, but not helping one's own master is already a rare occurrence. Gu Duo just tried to persuade and dissuade, but there was no reason for him to marry someone who would take on all the grudges without saying another word.

  Why did Naxian do this? The few people present were not fools and all thought

  With a most reasonable explanation, Xu Xian fell in love with Bai Suzhen at first sight and even became a monk to help her.

  Bai Suzhen also thought so. Although she felt that he had abandoned his family and wife a bit too absolutely

  But always for oneself, how can one's heart not be moved?

  Bai Suzhen firmly said to Xiao Qing: "I want to go save him! I cannot let him become a monk for me."

  "Alright, sister. Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. But I just want to ask, since she already has a wife and family, even if she's thinking of you, what can come of it?"

  Bai Suzhen's heart was in disarray for a moment, and she could only say: "Let's hurry up, I'm afraid if we're late, it will be too late."

  "Alright, you go back to the mansion and wait for me!"

  Xiao Qing said: "I'll go help you too!"

  Bai Suzhen said: "You can't help me, go back and wait for me!" After finishing speaking, she also transformed into a white cloud.

  White light disappears.

  Xiao Qing stomped her foot, but knew that her sister was right. With her own abilities, she could only cause trouble for her sister.

  Fa Hai led Xu Xian to a secluded spot in Lingyin Temple before turning towards the central main hall, which was the Great Brightness Hall.

  Suddenly seeing the golden body of the Tathagata sitting on it. In the midst of the flames that filled the air, the monks were still sitting in meditation.

  Daily homework. Buddhist chanting, listening to it makes people quiet, forget dust, devoutly believe and get dependence.

  Fa Hai ordered someone to fetch a monk's robe and razor. The monks were surprised that the abbot had returned so quickly, but they didn't dare ask any questions.

  Xu Xian knelt on the prayer mat and kowtowed to the Buddha statue, silently thinking: "Great Master, from now on I'll follow your guidance. If I drink wine or eat meat, or get close to women, please forgive me. By the way, Amitabha Buddha, I actually know that you're not in the south but in the west?"

  Fahai saw Xu Xian with a devout expression, speaking sincerely and to the point, feeling satisfied in his heart. Little did he know that Xu Xian was actually exchanging feelings with the "Abbot" of Buddhism, alas Fahai didn't hear his congratulatory words, otherwise he would have immediately become a Zen master, beating him until his brains were smashed, and wouldn't care about being a disciple or not.

  Everything was ready, but Fahai saw a flash of light descending from the sky. Ba Suojin was pregnant with twins.

  The temple, as soon as it reached the entrance, was blocked by a burst of golden light outside. This Lingyin Temple is the largest Buddhist temple within a radius of 500 miles, and it is also the Golden Hall of Tathagata, with the protection of Fahai, a high-ranking Buddhist monk. Even Bai Suzhen's thousand years of cultivation cannot be forced to break through. Only shouting outside the hall: "Xu Gongzi, come out quickly!

  Fa Hai nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Xu Xian and said loudly: "Three salvations are not necessary to mention, I believe you can do it. But the five precepts still need to be remembered! Now I ask, you answer! One...

  Xu Xianpeng: "Please speak, Fu!"

  "Do you now refrain from killing and observe abstinence?"

  "Master, if there are those who disobey and are unfilial, harming many living beings, shouldn't they be executed?"

  The monk Fa Hai's whiskers twitched: "Monsters can naturally be killed, but if it's a human, you need to follow the natural order of things. Alright, consider this one passed. As for how to follow the natural order and kill someone, that's Master Fa Hai's unspoken secret."

  "Abstain from sex, don't drink wine, can you hold on now?"

  "Right!"

  "Do not commit adultery, do not steal, can you keep it?"

  "Got it!"

  "Are you able to keep this secret and not speak carelessly?"

  "Got it!"

  Although Fahai expressed deep skepticism about this point, he continued to ask:

  "Abstain from lustful thoughts, can you hold on now?"

  This is the final backup, the scene is one of the most condensed. Bai Suzhen stood in front of the main hall, staring blankly at Xu Xian's back, Fahai had an inscrutable smile on his face, Xu Xian bowed his head and said: "Disciple understands! But I am considering whether what happened between me and Mingyu counts as lustful desires."

  Fa Hai frowned and was not quite satisfied with this answer, but continued to ask: "Before you enter the door, do you have anything else to say?"

  "My disciples have nothing to say!"

  "Alright, you can go!" Fa Hai said. With a wave of his sleeve, Xu Xian instantly flew up from the couch and out the door.

  Xu Xianfei was flying in the air, unable to control his body, and was about to fall to the ground. However, he vaguely saw a white figure, and then fell into something soft and fragrant. He looked up and saw a pair of autumn water sleeves staring at him, with a hint of red on her snow-white face, and a thread of shyness in her eyes.

  But didn't avoid Xu Xian's gaze, and added a few more tender feelings.

  Xu Xian leaned against her soft and fragrant body, only to feel a moment of intoxication, but suddenly woke up. Only

  "Fa Hai shouted loudly: 'Shi Ze, your worldly ties are not yet severed, the six senses are not pure, it is not suitable for you to become a monk now. Wait until the time is ripe, and I will ordain you again!'"

  "You didn't promise me?"

  Fa Hai said: "Yes, before you became a monk, I would not go looking for trouble with this White Bone Demon. After you became a monk, of course, I will also keep my promise!" But if Xuan Zang were to be captured by the temple...

  In the middle, neither let him out of the house nor let him not out of the house, white and plain, he came to the door by himself, it's not his fault.

  At that time, he only married the white and chaste Benxiang, making Xu Xian realize that the person he had been in love with was actually a snake demon. He could not help but suddenly wake up and convert to Buddhism. This is what is called "achieving multiple goals at once", it's truly wonderful beyond words.

  Bai Suzhen, although somewhat inexplicable, always stopped Xu Xian from becoming a monk, and was delighted in her heart. Just as she was about to help Xu Xian up, Xu Xian pushed her away and stood up, shouting at Fahai: "You bald donkey, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" If he hadn't known that part of the story, he probably wouldn't have seen through Fahai's scheme either.

  Fa Hai didn't get angry, but shouted: "Leave quickly, don't bother me! One

  Xu Xian was filled with great resentment in his heart, he himself had compromised and sought peace, but could not change the monk's vengeful intentions.

  Although I've made so many changes, I thought I was the butterfly flapping its wings, but it turned out to be just a bucket of paint poured into the river.

  Perhaps fate itself has its own inertia, and people in it can only follow the trend. But Xu Xian knew that he didn't travel through time to play out some ancient tragic love story.

  He suddenly realized that compromise could not change anything, and his own unhappiness would never bring happiness to the people around him. How can a person who is unhappy themselves bring happiness to others?

  Xu Xian angrily said: "I just want you to know, in this life and this world, I don't want anyone to control me again!" Since the river has its own direction, then let me open up a new path!

  Fa Hai heard this and coldly laughed: "What do you plan to do?"

  "I, I!" Xu Xian was at a loss for words for a moment, then suddenly remembered a phrase and pointed one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, shouting loudly: "I want this heaven, no longer covering my eyes! I want this earth, no longer burying my heart! I want all living beings to know my will. I want these gods in the sky to disappear like smoke!"

  Disperse!

  As soon as this was said, the originally calm sky suddenly became windy and cloudy, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.

  Fahai was shocked in his heart and shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense!" The words of a cultivator are not to be spoken casually. Fahai's shout used the Great Thunder Sound Technique, but it quickly dissipated amidst the rolling thunder.

  China.

  Dark clouds cover the sky, heaven and earth are like night. Thunder and lightning interweave, heaven and earth are like daybreak.

  The fierce wind howls, but it is unknown where it comes from and where it goes. It only blows wildly in all directions between heaven and earth.

  Among these heavenly omens, Fahai's face turned pale and Master's tongue was tied. Bai Suzhen only looked at Xu Xian with a guilty conscience.

  The immortal felt as if heaven and earth were revolving for him alone. If this was how he treated his closest disciples, one could only imagine how he would treat ordinary monks.

  Nobody noticed that the Buddha statue in the great hall slightly opened its eyes and seemed to let out a sigh.

  Xu Xian still maintained his majestic posture, with one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the earth. In his heart, he was also searching for a battle, wondering if this was the legendary "Peng Peng Yun Bi".

  Think of oneself with a lightning rod gesture, and then put hands together to Bai Suzhen: "Let's go! Seeing Bai Suzhen somewhat stunned, also guessing many things, holding her hand walking down the mountain.

  At this time, heavy rain poured down, Fahai stood in front of the main hall, looking through the thick rain curtain at Xu Xian's departing back, suddenly feeling a little regretful.

  The two walked down the mountain, Bai Suzhen glanced at Xu Xian with a sidelong glance, thinking that what happened just now was either accidental or related to him. If it was an accident, how could it be so coincidental? If it was related, then why didn't she sense any fluctuations in his magical powers?

  His hand was still being held by him, and after thinking about it, he didn't pull it back. He only asked Peng: "Mr. Xu, just now...

  "Why are you so angry? Isn't it a good thing that Master Fahai has allowed you to cut off worldly ties and become a monk again?" Master Fahai indeed had the power of Dharma, and if Xu Xian could follow him in his practice, he would have a great hope of achieving immortality and becoming a celestial being.

  Xu Xian stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her: "You think too highly of people, let's find a place to clear up the things between us!"

  Due to some sort of strange concern, Bai Su Peng didn't cast a spell to avoid the rain either. Now standing in the middle of it, she got her whole body soaked, with her hair sticking to her cheeks. Not only did she not look disheveled, but she also had an extraordinary charm.

  She was beautiful. Although she didn't have a sense of danger, her white dress clung to her body, outlining her delicate figure, yet it was an unusually sacred posture. Her beauty made one unable to look directly at her and yet couldn't help but steal glances.

  "What's between us?" Bai Suzhen thought to herself, wondering what he would say.

  He said he wanted to marry himself, would he agree or not? For his dedication, he was indeed moved, but the two had only met for a short time and couldn't talk about love. Originally, if he were alone, marrying him immediately wouldn't be a problem, but now what should he do?

  What?

  Xu Xian relaxed her jade hands, and her palms cupped the air. The power of the Water Star began to take effect, not only dispersing the rainwater but also clearing the water from her body. Bai Su was astonished as she watched Xu Xian wield the power of water.

  Although that bit of water power didn't seem like much to her, the way the Envoy used it was unusual, effortlessly casual as if this power had been born with him. This wasn't a Buddhist spell, where did this Master Xu come from?!

  In the mountains there was a pavilion, and the two of them sat down inside it. Xu Xian said: "My master still has evil intentions towards you, that's why he let me go."

  Bai Suzhen furrowed her brow and said: "Xu Gongzi, I don't quite understand. And even if he has ill intentions towards me,

  "Think of it, but can't hold onto mine."

  Xu Xiandao said: "He has a demon-collecting golden gourd, bestowed by the Buddha himself, with immense power. If he uses the golden gourd, you will absolutely not be able to escape." Thinking back to when she had only briefly clashed with the golden gourd and was knocked under the chair, it couldn't have been any easier than that.

  "Ah!" Bai Suzhen exclaimed, the thing given by the Buddha was indeed something he couldn't withstand, but she also asked in puzzlement: "Then why didn't he use it?"

  Xu Xian said: "How can the things that the Buddha ancestors have gambled with be used indiscriminately? He wants to frame you for violating heavenly laws!"

  "What's going on?" Bai Suzhen muttered to herself, but she couldn't help falling into deep thought.

  Xu Xian thought to himself, "Can such a clever and powerful woman also feel powerless at times? When faced with the vast and mysterious fate, does she too feel helpless?" But because of his arrival, this life will be different, he will do his best to help her break free from that desolate fate.

  Bian Peng: "My master told Gu that there would be consequences, but he didn't say what they were. There must be some hidden reason."

  "Speak now and tell me everything!"

  Bai Suzhen hesitated, how could she tell him about her own snake body? If he was afraid of or disgusted by her, what would happen then? She could only say: "Don't be mistaken, Master Xu, I am also a member of the immortal sect. It's just that in the past, I secretly stole a few spiritual pills from your master, which led to our feud. Today, I must thank you again, Master Xu, for your kindness."

  Entirely.

  Xu Xian's expression turned serious: "Bai Suzhen, when interacting with others, it's better to be honest and sincere. Please tell me frankly, so we can discuss the situation together!"

  In the original world, that great disaster of Shui Peng Jin Shan was indeed triggered by Xu Xian. However, the root of all troubles had already been buried when the first lie was told. If she could have revealed her true identity after being together for a period of time, Xu Xian would have accepted it. But instead, the more he covered up, the more suspicious he became, and suspicion between husband and wife is the most hurtful thing.

  But it's not her fault, because she was afraid to speak at first, and later couldn't.

  He said, seeing Xu Xian being scared to death by his true form and then trying every means to hide it, until he could no longer hide it, the mistake had already been made. Now that the matter has been brought up, there will be fewer unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

  Bai Suzhen heard him call her name directly and say that she was not honest enough without any reserve. In her heart

  Unexpectedly a bit sour, but now that things have come to this, it's hard to hide anymore. Hopefully he won't be like what I imagined!

  Xu Xian looked at her with encouraging eyes and said, "Speak up! Only then can Fahai's plan turn into a pile of dog shit. I became his apprentice just to help you, and now he still wants to act smart like before? Watch me make him fly into a rage."

  The previous chapter's Yan Guang was indeed a... The phrase "dreaming of painting snakes and adding feet" was written too much, this poem is also silently written out. At that time, it was just a turn of the mind, vaguely remembering that I had seen this character in "A New Account of the Tales of the World", so I didn't go to check it carefully, resulting in confusing it with Ji Mo's allusion.

  Sorry about that. Thank you for pointing it out and please forgive me!

  Finally, I'm shamelessly asking for a vote for the guaranteed monthly pass. I know that my updates are not fast enough, and I really want to update more, add more, and go crazy with updates. But this chapter took at least half an hour to an hour to revise, making sure each character's thoughts are consistent and logical, and every scene unfolds naturally, etc., etc. Please believe me, I'm putting my heart into writing this book. The frequency of updates may increase a bit this month, but stability and quality are what I will definitely guarantee!
