"Swish!" "Swish!" Several golden lights broke through the air, and the weeds that were wrapped around Liang Lian were instantly cut into several pieces by an unknown force. Liang Lian took the opportunity to break free from his restraints, rolled on the ground, jumped up, and fled desperately in the direction where the golden light came from.
In that direction, an old man dressed as a monk was striding towards this side, followed closely by a servant from Prince Liang's mansion.
"Haifa, quickly, quickly capture this female monster for me!" Liang Lian shouted angrily at the person who came. He was panting heavily and turned his head to look back at Xiaoqing with deep fear and anxiety in his eyes.
"Amitabha! Mr. Liang, please be patient. I will take care of it." The old monk called Fahai clasped his hands together, comforted Liang Lian, then looked up at Xiaoqing calmly, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.
"Liang Lian, you actually asked for help! I really shouldn't have been so soft-hearted just now!" Xiao Qing glanced at Liang Lian coldly - if she had known that he was determined to deal with her and her sister, she shouldn't have let him live! She turned her eyes to the old monk beside her - he was about sixty years old, with a square face, white beard and eyebrows, wide robes and sleeves, a cassock on his body, and a Zen stick in his hand. His character and bearing were not comparable to ordinary monks, but his eyes were too sharp, and his eyebrows lacked the peacefulness that a monk should have. Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Qing asked, "Old monk, who are you?"
"I am Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple." Fahai looked at Xiaoqing with a scrutinizing look. Xiaoqing saw him turning the rosary in his left hand, as if he was calculating something. Suddenly, Fahai stopped turning the rosary, and his eyes swept across Xiaoqing's beautiful and cold face like the wind. There was a trace of surprise and confusion in his eyes, as if he couldn't figure out something.
"Old monk, since you are a monk, why don't you stay in the temple to meditate, chant scriptures and recite Buddhist scriptures? Instead, you come to this desolate mountain and meddle in other people's business!" Xiaoqing frowned with some disgust. She hated people like Fahai who had some Taoism the most. When they saw her, they would count with their fingers for every little thing. They all wanted to figure out her identity and origin. They had no self-awareness at all and overestimated their own abilities to the point of being ridiculous!
"I am a disciple of Buddhism, and it is my duty to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness. Since there are evildoers wreaking havoc on the world, I cannot just stand by and watch." Fahai stared at Xiaoqing with a sharp look in his eyes.
"What a high-sounding rhetoric!" Xiao Qing said with disdain: "I think it is that Prime Minister Liang donated a lot of incense money to your temple. You, old monk, should serve him like this and work hard for him in exchange for his money!"
Fahai had a gloomy look on his face and was unable to deny it directly. At this time, Liang Lian beside him urged him impatiently: "Fahai, what are you still talking about? Why don't you take this female monster back to me as soon as possible?" His words were arrogant and rude, and he shouted orders to Fahai as if he were an ordinary subordinate.
Fahai's expression became even uglier. After a long while, he suddenly looked directly at Xiaoqing and asked, "Why, are you the only one here?"
Xiaoqing thought Fahai's question was very strange. She raised her eyebrows and said, "So what?"
"What a pity! What a pity!" Fahai seemed very disappointed when he heard this. He looked far in the direction of Suzhou Prefecture with an unfathomable look in his eyes. After a long time, he muttered to himself: "It's been six hundred years, little white snake, it's time to settle the grudge between you and me..."
"Little White Snake?" Xiaoqing looked at Fahai in shock. Although the other party's voice was low, she heard that word keenly.
"Oh, or maybe we should call her Bai Suzhen - the little white snake from six hundred years ago has now transformed into a human form and is living among the people, right?" As if harboring some deep resentment, the old monk, who had originally had a blank expression on his face, suddenly sneered when he mentioned Bai Suzhen's name.
"So you know my sister." Xiaoqing's eyes flashed, and her eyes suddenly became alert and vigilant. At the same time, she glanced at Liang Lian and others beside her. After hearing what Fahai said, they all took a breath and exclaimed in horror - "Snake demon!", and looked at Xiaoqing with fear and panic. With her fingers secretly clasped together, Xiaoqing glared at Fahai in annoyance, but saw Fahai glanced at her and said with a gloomy face: "Bai Suzhen... Humph, of course I know her. Thanks to her, I have studied Buddhist scriptures for more than 600 years!"
Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and sneered, then said, "So, old monk, are you here to seek revenge?"
"Amitabha..." Fahai put his hands together, lowered his eyes, hid the expression in his eyes, and said lightly: "I have already said that there are evil spirits causing chaos in the world, and we cannot stand idly by. This time I came down the mountain only to capture the evil spirits - how can I talk about seeking revenge?" He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xiaoqing with an indifferent face: "Well, since Bai Suzhen is not here, I will capture you first, and then go to Bao'an Hall."
"Heh--" Xiaoqing sneered and said sarcastically: "You are so arrogant! You want to take me in? Let me see if you have the ability to do so!" She raised her right hand and slashed in the air--suddenly a green light broke through the sky like lightning, causing a whistling whirlwind, and slashed towards Fahai like a sharp sword.
"Amitabha—" Fahai closed his eyes slightly, put his hands together, and muttered something. It seemed that an invisible force built a barrier around his body, blocking the green light from his body. Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and Fahai's sleeves were lifted, and his true energy was agitated. An invisible true energy like a violent storm and huge waves instantly hit Xiaoqing!
Xiaoqing slapped out fiercely, taking advantage of the momentum to retreat quickly, and landed about ten feet away. She raised her hand to flick off a piece of grass that had stuck to her shoulder, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Fahai lightly, nodded slightly: "You are quite capable... but you think you can do anything to me with just this, you are overestimating yourself!" Her figure flashed, and she moved in an instant and came in front of Fahai. Fahai frowned and swept his Zen staff towards Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing was agile. She jumped up, stepped on the Zen staff, and flew into the air. At the same time, she kicked Fahai on the left shoulder.
Fahai staggered and took a step back before he steady himself, avoiding being too embarrassed.
"Fahai, aren't you well versed in Buddhism? How come you are so useless that you can't even subdue this mere female demon?!" Seeing that Fahai was at a disadvantage, Liang Lian's face gradually turned ugly - he knew very well that once Fahai was defeated, he would most likely lose his life, and the woman in green would definitely not let him, a person who knew his identity as a demon, live in the world!
Fahai frowned, trying his best to suppress his displeasure, and replied calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Liang. I said that if I can subdue this snake demon, I will naturally be able to subdue it. I will not let it escape - so as not to make Mr. Liang sleepless." The last sentence was quite sarcastic. After that, he ignored Liang Lian, turned to face Xiaoqing, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and chanted a few spells. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Subdue -"
The author has something to say: After being offline for a few days, I felt like the days were long. I used to fantasize about traveling back to ancient times, but now I am wondering if I can adapt to the ancient times without the Internet. Haha, I am afraid there will never be an answer.
OK, let me recommend a movie - "Legends of the Fallen", starring Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is really handsome in the movie.
