Chapter 44 Anle Temple, Green Snake Hermit

Xu Xian and his two companions entered the city and successfully arrived at Anle Temple.

To Bai Qing's and her companion's astonishment, they clearly detected a great deal of demonic energy within the temple.

Although, judging from the degree of demonic aura, most of the demons in Anle Temple are in a state of barely being able to take human form.

But it is a real monster.

"Is there a demon in the temple?"

Xu Xian nodded: "Anle Temple is not like ordinary temples. It enshrines the Peacock King Bodhisattva, and many of its monks are incarnations of demons."

"this……"

Bai Qing and the other person were greatly shocked.

As demons, they were well aware of how ordinary mortals treated them.

He is absolutely despised and deserves to be killed by everyone.

Not to mention, Bai Qing experienced the battle at Jinshan Temple.

In their view, monks should be extremely rigid and lack human touch.

When faced with demons and evil spirits, regardless of whether they are good or evil, they must be suppressed!

Unexpectedly, there are temples in the world like Anle Temple.

This made Xiaoqing feel much more relaxed.

"It seems that these past few years haven't been too difficult for me."

As the three were talking, they arrived at the gate of Anle Temple.

Anle Temple truly deserves its reputation as a sacred Buddhist temple.

The palaces and pavilions, with their carved beams and painted rafters, stood in neat rows, exuding an air of unparalleled grandeur.

Besides the Peacock King Bodhisattva, all other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, and Arhats are also present.

Outside the temple, devout men and women came in an endless stream.

Inside the main hall, wisps of incense smoke rose gently.

As Xu Xian and his companions stood outside the temple, they immediately sensed the imposing aura of the sacred Ling Mountain Temple.

As you step inside, countless rays of Buddha's light shine forth, protecting the entire temple.

"Fortunately, we've slain demons and monsters along the way, accumulating a lot of merit. Otherwise, we might have been attacked by this Buddha's light."

Bai and Qing secretly rejoiced, while Xu Xian had already found the abbot of the temple.

The abbot of Anle Temple has a cultivation level of about level 27, which is not considered strong, but he also has a heart for doing good deeds and accumulating merit.

Xu Xian bowed and said, "Master, we come from Lanruo Temple in the East and wish to ask Anle Temple for your assistance."

Xu Xian deliberately unleashed his magical power, which naturally attracted the attention of the abbot of Anle Temple.

The abbot said "Amitabha," but hesitated, "To my shame, I have heard about Lanruo Temple. That temple is no ordinary place; our Anle Temple alone is no match for its ghosts."

"Master, you misunderstand. We have already cleared away the ghosts from Lanruo Temple, but we still have one more request."

"What?! You're in big trouble!"

The old abbot of Anle Temple panicked and quickly began chanting Amitabha Buddha's name. It took him a long time to calm down.

He pulled Xu Xian towards the back hall, while beckoning Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing to follow.

Only when they were alone in the back hall did the old monk of Anle Temple begin chanting Amitabha's name and continue, "The tree demon at Lanruo Temple is merely a demon in the open. Although it has some tricks up its sleeve, it poses no real threat. The true evil lurks in the shadows, in the Black Mountain outside the City of the Wrongfully Dead! You killed the tree demon, and you've likely already been targeted..."

Xu Xian bowed and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Master. We have already killed the Black Mountain Demon, and Lanruo Temple has returned to normal."

"What?! Tell me quickly!"

The abbot of Anle Temple was very excited.

After arranging for the novice monk to serve tea, he stared intently at Xu Xian.

He could sense that Xu Xian's cultivation was far inferior to that of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

However, it can also be seen that Bai and Qing were led by Xu Xian.

Therefore, they were extremely respectful to Xu Xian.

Knowing the abbot's character, Xu Xian smiled and began to explain the situation at Lanruo Temple.

The abbot's eyes gleamed with admiration as he exclaimed, "Amitabha! These three benefactors have rid the world of this great scourge; this is an immense act of merit! You just asked us for your assistance; may we ask what it is?"

Xiaoqing took out more than a dozen urns containing ashes and said, "These female ghosts were coerced by the tree demon and could not be reincarnated for thousands of years. After killing the tree demon, we promised to bury them in a place with abundant blessings. These female ghosts were also of great help when we killed the Black Mountain Demon."

The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "While the female ghost did harm people, it was out of necessity. Now that she has the will to do good, that is naturally a great thing. We will place these urns of ashes in the Buddha Hall, and after we monks perform a ritual for her, she can be sent to be reincarnated."

As soon as the abbot of Anle Temple spoke, countless gentle rays of Buddhist light scattered forth.

A dozen or so urns were gently shaken, expressing gratitude.

The abbot arranged for a young novice monk to accept the urn containing the ashes, and then hosted a vegetarian feast for Xu Xian and the other two.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen went to their guest room.

Bai Suzhen said shyly, "My lord, this is a Buddhist temple, so let's..."

Xu Xian laughed and said, "Buddhism also has its own form of joyful meditation, and don't you think that the yin and yang merging in this place has a unique charm?"

Bai Suzhen's pretty face flushed red: "As you wish, my lord."

……

While Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were having sex, Xiaoqing went to find the abbot of Anle Temple alone.

At this time, there were five monks in the main hall.

Apart from the abbot, who is a cultivator, the other four, of varying heights and builds, are a deer demon, a toad demon, a pig demon, and a cat demon.

The four monsters were around level 22, but because they practiced Buddhist methods, they were surrounded by a dazzling Buddhist light.

Upon seeing Xiaoqing requesting an audience, the abbot hurriedly asked, "What brings you here so late, benefactor?"

Xiaoqing recalled Xu Xian's words and said, "The monster that Master is dealing with has been in human form for a long time. I was afraid that Master would be in danger, so I came to help."

The abbot was taken aback: "Benefactor, where did you learn this from?"

Xu Xian said he learned it from a book...

Xiaoqing thought to herself, but said only, "Please allow me to lend you a hand, Master."

The abbot remained silent for a moment before speaking, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Benefactor Xiaoqing!"

The next day, Xu and Bai got up.

Just then, I heard the monks in the temple discussing something quite excitedly, among them four monks of different heights, weights and builds arguing heatedly.

"That old bull demon was incredibly powerful. I struck him between the eyebrows with the Buddhist Great Handprint, which allowed Miss Xiaoqing to kill him in one blow."

"What nonsense are you spouting? It was clearly me who subdued the old ox with the Six-Syllable Mantra that allowed Miss Xiaoqing to succeed."

"I used myself as bait..."

The monks argued endlessly, but they all expressed the same meaning.

The old bull demon was incredibly powerful, but Xiaoqing used the Yin-Yang Sword of Hardness and Softness to behead him in one strike!

Just then, Xiaoqing also entered the area.

The four monks, of varying heights and builds, immediately bowed and said to Xiaoqing, "Thank you for your help, Miss Xiaoqing."

The other monks naturally bowed in return, praising Xiaoqing for her exceptional skills and kind heart.

This made the proud Xiaoqing quite embarrassed.

Just as she was about to say something, the abbot walked in and bowed in return.

Xu Xian immediately said, "Master, my little Qing is devoted to Buddhism. How about letting her become a lay Buddhist here?"

Xiaoqing also bowed and said, "I am willing to become a lay Buddhist."

The abbot of Anle Temple's eyes lit up.

They vanquished demons and monsters, but their strength was insufficient.

If Xiaoqing were to join, it would naturally greatly enhance the strength of Anle Temple.

Xiaoqing stayed at Anle Temple, while Xu and Bai continued their journey westward.

Before leaving, Xu Xian left Xiaoqing several treasures, while Bai Suzhen left behind a bit of her magic power: "Five years later, you can use this magic power to find us."

Xiaoqing bowed deeply, saying, "Please, sister and brother-in-law, wait for me for five years!"

Then, Xiaoqing looked at Xu Xian and said, "I won't thank you enough. Even if you ask me to deal with the gods of Luo Tian and the Yama of the Underworld in the future, I won't even flinch!"

Xu Xian smiled and nodded, and then the two parted ways.

After traveling for a few more days, Bai Suzhen suddenly asked, "My lord, what are your considerations in suddenly leaving Xiaoqing at Anle Temple?"

Xu Xian, with his arm around Bai Suzhen, asked, "How do you feel, my wife, as we slay demons and monsters along the way?"

"Hmm... there are too many demons in the world, and the gods in heaven seem to be a bit lazy and turn a blind eye to these demons."

Xu Xian remained calm: "On the contrary, these demons are the result of their neglect."
