455 Common Enemy (Part 2)
Min Yu nodded. “Yes.”
Hui Zhen’s eyes darkened. “Ignore him for the time being. At Su Yanyu’s birthday banquet, cast another spell on him and see if it works. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll make a move.”
Min Yu frowned. “Master, Miss Liu has been to the Marquis Mansion.”
Hui Zhen frowned. “I’ll personally pay a visit to Jingen Temple tomorrow. If I don’t have a good ending, no one can have a good ending.”
Min Yu lowered her head and did not speak. She had followed Hui Zhen for many years, but she had never seen her in such a troubled state.
She kept thinking about what Liu Sanniang had said that day. In half a month, Hui Zhen would be reduced to ashes.
It was a prophecy, but also sounded like a curse, making one feel uneasy.
Hui Zhen took a deep breath and said with a dark expression, “Forget it, I’ll go over today. Since Su Yanyu’s birthday is a trap set by Liu Sanniang, I can’t sit back and do nothing. Since it’s going to be lively, I’ll make it even more so.”
Hui Zhen stood up and Min Yu nodded. “I’ll go and prepare the horse now.”
Hui Zhen nodded.
She left Suzhai Pavilion and went straight to Jingen Temple. Yuan Hui seemed to ignore the letter she had sent. This was impossible. They were all in the same boat. If Liu Sanniang couldn’t tolerate her, she wouldn’t tolerate the others, either.
If she, Hui Zhen, could not have a good ending, no one else would. Nobody could stay out of this!
Jingen Temple was the temple with the most incense offerings in the capital. The abbot, Master Yuan Hui, was an eminent monk. The majestic vermillion door was extremely imposing.
Hui Zhen got off the horse and walked in. The young monk guarding the door recognized her at a glance. “Master Hui Zhen, what brought you here?”
Hui Zhen replied coldly. “If your abbot doesn’t come to see me, then I can only come to see him myself.”
The young monk felt awkward.
Huizhen walked in. He did not dare to stop her. This was not someone he could stop.
Hui Zhen walked straight into the backyard of the temple and came to a room. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. “Master Yuan Hui, I’ve already come knocking at your door. Are you going to keep the door shut on me?”
A deep voice came from the room. “Come in.”
Hui Zhen pushed the door open and entered. She closed the door.
Yuan Hui, who was sitting quietly on the couch, had his eyes closed while chanting the scriptures silently. Hui Zhen walked over and sat down. Yuan Hui opened his eyes and looked at Hui Zhen.
Hui Zhen took a deep breath. “Is Liu Sanniang really the True Buddha?”
Yuan Hui looked at Hui Zhen with confusion in his deep eyes. “I don’t know either. In the Buddhist Sect, only those who have obtained the Great Dao can become the True Buddha to see through all the karma in the world, eliminate all the evil, and save all living beings. For one to obtain the Great Dao, one has to cultivate for thousands of years. She’s just a young girl.”
Liu Sanniang should not be the True Buddha.
Hui Zhen gritted her teeth fiercely. “She’s very strange. I can’t sense any spiritual power from her, but I can’t harm her when we fight. She looks very weak, but she can’t be killed. No matter how I hurt her, she can heal herself. She can even devour my power and take it for her own use. If she’s given time, I’ll lose sooner or later. Not to mention me, you will end up the same.”
Yuan Hui frowned. “The True Buddha can borrow the power from heaven and earth, but why is Liu Sanniang so weak?”
Liu Sanniang’s appearance had undoubtedly set off huge waves on the calm sea. Even if the sea was still calm, it was only for the time being.
Hui Zhen was angry. “I don’t know about that. She’s dealing with me now. Master Yuan Hui, you didn’t reply to my letter. Do you want to sit back and do nothing? Don’t forget that if I’m gone, you’ll be next.”
Liu Sanniang claimed to be the True Buddha and said that she could not tolerate any evil in this world. She would pull the sinners out from the darkness one by one. She was the first, but she was definitely not the last.
Hui Zhen was furious. She didn’t know why she became the first target.
Master Yuan Hui could still sit still because the fire had not reached him yet.
Yuan Hui looked at Hui Zhen. “If she is really the True Buddha, we will not be her match.”
They were also unwilling to believe that a little girl who had just entered the Dao would be the chosen one. It made people feel jealous, and hate her.
They had experienced many tribulations in their pursuit of the Dao, but such an opportunity did not fall on them.
Hui Zhen’s expression was cold. “What do you mean? Are you going to let her kill us one by one? True Buddha? I think she’s just playing a trick.”
Yuan Hui looked at Hui Zhen. She was seriously injured and could barely suppress the burning anger. No wonder Hui Zhen was so angry. This was a matter of life and death for her. How could she remain calm?
Hui Zhen stared at Yuan Hui and gritted her teeth.
Yuan Hui shook his head helplessly. “What is she going to do?”
Hui Zhen told him about the banquet two days later. She knew that this was her calamity. If she could not avoid it, she would be miserable but she was unwilling to accept it. Who in the world was Liu Sanniang? If she lost to a green girl, she would not be able to take this humiliation lying down.
Hui Zhen looked at Yuan Hui. “Liu Sanniang is our common enemy. I’m the first, and you’ll be the next. Therefore, we have to work together to eliminate her. I’m supporting the crown prince and a righteous cause. She’s the evil one!”
Yuan Hui’s hand that was spinning the Buddha beads paused. “What do you want me to do?”
Hui Zhen took a deep breath. “Of course to get rid of her. If she dies, we will be safe. If she doesn’t die, none of us will be safe.”
Only when Liu Sanniang died, could they protect themselves and continue on the right path.
If she lost, her ending would be theirs.
Yuan Hui sighed. “Two days later, I will personally go to Suzhai Pavilion.”
Hui Zhen looked at Yuan Hui. “It’s good that you can come.”
She could tell that Yuan Hui did not want to get involved. If she did not come today, Yuan Hui would not have shown up for sure. It was obvious that he was deliberately not replying to her letter. Thinking of this, Hui Zhen was displeased.
However, she could only put up with it because she was the one begging him. If their places swapped, she would also do what Yuan Hui did. Anyway, the fire had yet to reach him, so he didn’t need to panic.
Yuan Hui closed his eyes and said lightly, “If I say I will go, I will definitely go.”
Hui Zhen took a deep breath. “In that case, I won’t disturb Master Yuan Hui anymore.”
Hui Zhen turned around and left. She had to be prepared to fight Liu Sanniang to the death. Even if she died, she had to bite off a piece of Liu Sanniang’s flesh before that.
