The old monk Meiling coughed and laughed dryly, and said proudly: "The Secret Party...that should be the organization of those juniors after I left Europe, right?"

Yi Tianxing was a little shocked. It seemed that the blood monk in front of him was really terrifying.

"You can't leave this dwarf ginkgo tree?" He asked tentatively. This was his long-standing guess, otherwise it would not be explained why he had to go to Hong Kong by taking the Buddha's finger relics. The old monk from Meiling took action to snatch it. With his strength, he could completely break into the basement of Famen Temple.

"Yes. Nowadays, the Eastern world is quite afraid of Western blood clans. My descendants in Hong Kong cannot go to Famen Temple, so they chose Hong Kong."

"How did you do it?"

Yi Tianxing was delaying time. He felt that the battle between Chen Sanxing and Prince Job at the foot of the mountain was about to end. I think he should also know this with the terrifying cultivation of the old monk Meiling.

The dialogue is about to end and the battle is about to begin.

"I have been in Meiling for hundreds of years, and I still have a few friends in the world." The old monk Meiling said the word "friend" and suddenly felt a little warm.

Who is this friend? It will take a few days before Yi Tianxing will be shocked to discover this question.

"Want to know my past?"

The old monk from Meiling said leisurely, as if he didn't care about the life-and-death battle surrounding the Buddha's finger relics at the foot of the mountain.

"think."

Yi Tianxing secretly recites the Heart Sutra, and builds yin and yang strings on both left and right hands to calm your mind and protect your heart.

...

...

The thousand-year-old ginkgo tree shook lightly in the night wind, shaking the silver moonlight falling from the sky into countless light spots. The old monk Meiling in the tree cave used such magical powers. He saw that the silver ginkgo tree fluttering and turned into substances, seeping down from the branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree, slowly falling several feet in front of Yi Tianxing.

The silver light gradually condenses and gathers, forming a flat picture. The silver light flows along the painting, and the waves in the painting are surging!

Yi Tianxing gathered his spiritual consciousness in his eyebrows, ready to attack, but unexpectedly... the picture was really just a picture, but it was not the spiritual attack of the old monk Meiling.

He looked carefully at the picture, which gradually transformed the content. First, a boat was moving forward in the sea, and later he saw a gloomy young man being chased by peasants in a mountainous mountain in Central Earth with torches. He also saw the young man going to a large temple, bowing to the ground, kowtowed, and bleeding from his forehead...

Yi Tianxing understood that this was the past of the old monk in Meiling for thousands of years. The lonely blood monk seemed very interested in telling his life to Yi Tianxing.

"Which country did you have been from before?"

"Living on a plain in Europe."

————————————————

In 1440 AD, a town in France.

Baron Gilles de Rais was a comrade-in-arms of Joan of Arc during the British and French wars. After the war, he returned to his territory. In order to study alchemy, he became obsessed with witchcraft, hoping to find some gold and stone in the blood. So he relied on his power to collect 300 children everywhere and then bleed them to death.

One night, the baron's home was attacked by some unknown object.

It was the attack of a vampire. Everyone in the baron's family was sucked to death by blood, and the baron was also turned into the lowest, humble, and least wise zombie by a vampire.

The church was furious and dispatched a large number of cardinals and monks to kill the Baron's family, and began to track down the leader of the blood clan who attacked the Baron's family.

The leader of the blood clan was a young and handsome blood clan. He was the youngest fifth-generation blood clan in history. Because of this tragedy that shocked Europe, he became a thorn in the holy See's side.

His punishment for the Baron's family also caused strong controversy within the blood clan, because the Baron has always been a worshiper of the blood clan and has been secretly giving a lot of money to support. However, he, the young and handsome Five-generation blood clan, turned the Baron into a lower-class zombie that was worse than pigs and dogs in the eyes of the blood clan.

So a shameful conspiracy arose.

Well, conspiracy is always the product of compromise between powerful forces.

The young leader of the five generations of blood clan was betrayed by the blood clan and was chased by the Holy See. His loyal subordinates were killed and injured, and he only boarded a broken steamer with a life-long subordinate.

———————————————

"Oh, why are you going to deal with that baron?" Yi Tianxing asked, looking at the picture in the silver frame in front of him.

The old monk from Meiling in the tree cave laughed and said, "The blood clan has ridiculous dignity. I thought that humans could have the glory of food, but they could not be used to extract any ridiculous gold and stone. I think that the baron lacked the necessary respect for food, so I chose to turn him into a zombie that is worse than pigs and dogs."

"Your heart is full of hatred." Yi Tianxing looked at the young blood leader with a gloomy face on the broken ship in the picture, and said subconsciously.

The old monk from Meiling said quietly: "Hate is an unnecessary emotion."

"Where did you come later?"

"I came to China, it was... Ming?"

"Bad!" Yi Tianxing laughed and scolded: "At that time, Columbus's mother was still waiting in the city to have a son!"

"It's pedantic." The old monk from Meiling sighed: "As we, who are countless times stronger than humans, do we still need to bear the blessings of the coming of the Age of Discovery?"

Yi Tianxing thought about it and found that this is indeed the case. Big bats can fly, but they can fly by themselves. They travel around the world without relying on ships.

"You have been living in Meiling since you came to China?"

"Yes, I left that child in the south and came to the north by myself." The old monk Meiling fell into memories, and his meaning was a little cold: "There are many strange wizards in the east. I am a foreigner, so I suffered a lot of hardships, and no one was willing to accept me."

These are the pictures Yi Tianxing saw in the silver frame before. The young man was chased by a group of farmers with torches.

Thinking of giving me a headache and being scared, the old monk Meiling was also a character driven by mud legs five hundred years ago, Yi Tianxing suddenly felt very happy and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why did you think of becoming a monk?"

"In the years of hard survival, I have been thinking about a question." The old monk Meiling suddenly seemed pure and soft, "If anything has its own life, then what is our purpose? Why are the blood clans and humans natural enemies?"

"You have to ask the Buddha this question." Yi Tianxing answered subconsciously.

The old monk from Meiling said quietly: "I just want to live. I want to live on equal terms with all other creatures. The belief of the blood clan is actually dependent on the existence of the Lord. If there is no God, there will naturally be no blood clan... I went through a lot of hardships to come to the distant East, so I wanted to find a faith that was completely separated from the Lord."

"So you chose to believe in Buddhism?" Yi Tianxing opened his eyes wide.

"It was the Buddha who chose me." The old monk from Meiling said devoutly: "All the gods in the world will choose their believers. Only those who believe in me will be blessed. Only a certain type of person can have the right to have this belief. Only Buddha is different. Buddha is tolerant and Buddha is great. Buddha will not respond differently because his believers are noble or humble, male or female, old or weak, young or strong, kind-hearted or filthy."

"In the eyes of the Buddha, all living beings are equal... Even if I am a blood clan, I am still a believer in front of the Buddha's light."

"I was shocked after I came into contact with the true meaning of Buddha." The old monk Meiling could not help but feel excited when he thought about the scene of joining Buddhism hundreds of years ago. "I am a blood clan, and my food is human, but in the eyes of the Buddha, this is not our original sin... The blood clan sucks human blood and eats pork. Isn't this the same? If this is a sin, the sins of our blood clan and human beings are the same as those of human beings... Beginner in practicing precepts, human beings abstain from eating, I am abstaining from human blood... The Buddha will not think that I am a natural evil."

Yi Tianxing was dumbfounded, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was a little reason. Perhaps only in the view of the Buddhist sect, the blood clan does not need redemption, but only needs to redeem itself.

"Then what?"

He asked carefully, always alert because he found that Monk Meiling was not a conspirator, but was more like a religious fanatic.

Secular experience tells Yi Tianxing that conspirators can negotiate with him, and religious fanatics... they will inevitably fight in the end.

—————————————————

Of course, no one wants to accept a "zombie" as a disciple. A monk from Yuntai Temple in Meiling saw Ma Sheng who was knocking in front of the temple gate, but sighed and said, "Let's see the Buddha's name, come in."

From then on, Ma Sheng, the young leader of the blood clan, became a generation of monks in Meiling. Master Ma Sheng lived on Meiling for generations and never went down the mountain.

...

...

"When Samantabhadra Bodhisattva left this world, he looked at the direction of Meiling and said that you want to become a Buddha in your body..." Yi Tianxing looked coldly at the ginkgo tree, "If you practice Buddhism thoroughly and achieve the great way with the blood clan body, even I will only admire you and have no disrespect. But you should not seize the Buddha nature of the heavenly arhats. Such actions, the way of external demons, are too sinister."

"Get the great way?" The old monk from Meiling sneered: "Where is the great way? On Mount Sumeru?"

Yi Tianxing sat cross-legged and silent. Now he naturally knew that if he went to Mount Sumeru, he would be more miserable than in the world.

"The Buddha saved me, and I will save this world."

The old monk from Meiling said respectfully.

"Save it? Is it to seize the Buddha nature and make the heavenly arhats suffer for all ages?"

The old monk from Meiling smiled and said, "There is no pure land in heaven, so I want this earth to become a pure land."

Needless to say, these two people naturally understood what happened in the sky and what happened to the Buddha.

"If the world wants to be a pure land, people need to protect it." The face of the old monk Meiling appeared from the cave of the ginkgo tree, looking at the compassionate people: "If I want to protect this, I will become a Buddha."

The old monk from Meiling pointed one hand at the sky and the other hand at the ground, with a solemn and compassionate face: "There is no Buddha in the sky, so I will become a Buddha!"

...

...

Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and sighed in disgrace: "I am really not crazy, I can't become a Buddha!"

But he still had a faint fear, because Master Binku once said that the old monk in Meiling was once Master Yin Guang's master, and Master Yin Guang...

"When did you realize this method of sucking Buddha nature?"

"Yin Guang respected me as his teacher back then, but in fact, this son's Buddhist teachings are superb and worthy of being my teacher." The old monk in Meiling remembered the past: "For hundreds of years, I was on Meiling, watching the people of Mount Sumeru being knocked down from the mortal world, worried about the Pure Land, worried about the world, and had great worries in his heart that could not be relieved. During the Guangxu period, Yin Guang went to Meiling, and I asked him for advice, and he said four words."

"Select the Buddha to see the Buddha!"

"It's wrong!" Yi Tianxing shouted anxiously: "It's time to chant the Buddha's name and see the Buddha!"

The old monk from Meiling smiled sinisterly and said, "Five hundred years ago, when I entered Yuntai, the sect master said that he would chant the Buddha's name and see the Buddha. I have practiced for more than 300 years, but I have nothing to gain. I only watched the arhats of Mount Sumeru fall to the world like meteors. I just waited for Yin Guang to prove each other and I could understand what the sect master said back then."

"Select the Buddha to see the Buddha!"

Yi Tianxing's heart was already half cold at this time. When Master Yin Guang passed away, he once said eight words: "Reciting Buddha's name and seeing Buddha will definitely be reborn in the West!"

...

...

It seems that Master Yin Guang was what the old monk Meiling said before, tempting his good friends by devouring Buddha nature. In the legend of Master Yin Guang, this person Yi Tianxing was the person most afraid of.
