Chapter 129 Banshee 3
Chapter 129 Banshee 3
The secret realm has no distinction between day and night.
Jiao Niang practiced the technique for three weeks before finishing it and slowly opened her eyes.
When he turned around, his eyes met Xuan Ji's.
Feeling a little guilty for some reason, Jiao Niang subconsciously smiled at Xuan Ji, which stunned Xuan Ji. Then he smiled back, put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name.
Looking at the little monk with a pure temperament and gentle eyes, Jiao Niang touched her nose and finally decided to tell the truth: "Xuan Ji, I'm sorry, I... I actually lied to you."
Xuan Ji was stunned: "What?"
Jiao Niang chose her words carefully: "Do you remember the thing that was hunting us? His name is Xuanyuan Cave Master. A hundred years ago, he captured me and put me under a ban. Ever since then, I have been working for him..."
Jiao Niang told Xuan Ji everything in detail, including what Xuanyuan Cave Master asked her to do, and that the fight before entering the secret realm was actually a conspiracy between her and Xuanyuan Cave Master.
"This is what happened. He specially chose this secret place, wanting me to break your Vajra body here..." Jiao Niang looked at Xuan Ji's eyes that were as gentle as ever, and suddenly she couldn't continue.
In the original plot, Xuan Ji's Buddhist heart was destroyed by his original body, and then he disappeared from the sight of the world.
The next time they met was before his original body died. Xuan Ji's eyes were red and he was full of demonic energy. He was no longer as cold and calm as before.
I guess he must have suffered a lot during the time he disappeared.
It’s all the fault of the original body and Xuanyuan Cave Master!
Xuanji chanted a Buddhist name to Jiaoniang and said with a smile, "But you didn't do that, did you?"
Unlike some of his peers who believe that all demons are bad and must be killed, Xuan Ji believes that people can be good or bad, and so can demons, and they should be differentiated.
We should treat demons with good intentions with the same respect and courtesy as we treat good people.
When it comes to evil demons, Buddhism has the angry-eyed Vajra to eliminate evil and restore peace to the world.
Different races appear in this world, and each race can seek opportunities to practice, which means that the way of heaven allows it, and existence is reasonable.
Therefore, Xuanji never looked down on demons, nor did he call for the killing of demons at will.
Although the original body did a lot of sneaky things, perhaps because her father had warned her not to easily get involved in the lives of innocent people, when the original body was wandering around the world, she would not kill easily unless her life was at stake, and she would not absorb all of the essence from people, but would always leave some for them.
Even when working for Xuanyuan Cave Master, she never broke this principle.
The original body did not have any wronged souls or bad debts, so Xuan Ji showed kindness to her, and finally fell step by step into her lies.
Jiao Niang sighed: "But I did have bad intentions before. You can easily fall into someone else's trap like this. You should be more vigilant."
Xuan Ji smiled, his eyebrows curved: "Yes, I understand, thank you for your advice, my dear."
Jiao Niang took out her timer and found that three days had passed. She stood up and looked toward the woods to the north, but saw nothing unusual.
Looking at the frowning girl, Xuan Ji asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Jiao Niang replied, "I'm looking for a way out."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ji turned and looked towards the woods.
Suddenly, ripple-like shapes appeared in the air, as if a membrane separated the two worlds.
Jiao Niang and Xuan Ji looked at each other and realized that the passage was open.
Jiao Niang waved her hand and put all the things into the space, then ran towards the passage with Xuan Ji.
The sound of bubbles being squeezed was heard, and after a brief dizziness, Jiao Niang and Xuan Ji had already left the secret realm.
Jiao Niang didn't know that the moment they left, two disciples from the Tiandi Sect entered the secret realm.
"Brother, do you smell a... strange smell?" The woman in pink asked the man in blue beside her, covering her nose.
The man frowned. "I smelled it too. Could it be that my fellow apprentices came in before and refined some messy things here?"
The pink-dressed woman nodded and urged the man, "Brother, let's go pick the spiritual herbs that Master wants!"
The two of them said no more and left the northern forest and headed south.
Snail noodles: hidden merit and fame.
Previously, the original body had been following Xuan Ji all the way, so the current Jiao Niang would naturally not be the same as before.
She took out a bottle of top-grade elixir from the space and handed it to Xuan Ji: "Xuan Ji, I was wrong before, and I won't bother you anymore. Take this bottle of elixir as my apology."
Xuan Ji shook his head and said gently, "No, you didn't cause me any trouble, so there's no need to apologize."
Jiao Niang was helpless: "You are already injured, it's not a big deal? Take it, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Xuan Ji couldn't refuse, so he finally accepted it.
He thought for a moment, took off the Buddhist beads in his hand and handed them to Jiao Niang: "Then I'll give this to you, I hope you won't refuse."
Jiao Niang found it funny that they were giving each other gifts, as if they were exchanging tokens of love.
But she didn't act pretentiously and took the bracelet and put it on her hand.
Xuan Ji looked at the Buddhist beads that emitted a soft white light, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
The Buddhist beads are spiritual and have accompanied him in front of the Buddha for many years. If a dirty soul touches the Buddhist beads, it will corrode the bones and flesh at the very least, and destroy the soul at the worst.
Xuan Ji saw that Jiao Niang was not evil, so he gave her the Buddhist beads. However, seeing the Buddhist beads and Jiao Niang "coexisting peacefully" with his own eyes, Xuan Ji couldn't help but sigh that he had a good eye and did not make a mistake in choosing her.
If Jiao Niang knew what Xuan Ji was thinking, she would definitely sneer at him.
The original body had indeed never killed anyone, but this did not mean that she was a good person. It only meant that she was not completely bad.
However, Buddhism emphasizes "turning back is the shore", and perhaps in Xuanji's view, the original body is still worth saving.
Jiao Niang didn't plan to go the same way with Xuan Ji anymore. After saying goodbye to him, she turned and walked in another direction.
Looking at Jiao Niang's receding back, Xuan Ji's heart moved slightly, and finally he clasped his hands together and bowed his head to chant a Buddhist name.
Xuan Ji is only slightly moved by worldly desires now, and he himself is not aware of it. Perhaps through long-term chanting of Buddha's name and reciting scriptures, this insignificant ripple will be smoothed out by the Buddha's heart and eventually return to peace.
He was a Buddhist disciple who was highly regarded by the Jingxin Zen Temple. It would be a pity if he was troubled by worldly troubles and contaminated by sins.
…………
The mark of Xuanyuan Cave Master is still on Jiao Niang's body. Her top priority now is to find a safe place to practice and strengthen herself.
In the original storyline, the original body returned to Xuanyuan Cave on her own. However, at that time, the original body had already broken Xuan Ji's Vajra Body and successfully completed the order of the Xuanyuan Cave Master, so she returned to receive the reward.
Now, Jiao Niang will naturally not fall into the trap.
She was not sure how many moves she could withstand from the Xuanyuan Cave Master, so she decided to find a place to hide first.
