"Punishment?" Pei Xuan sneered, "For a cheap and cheap bitch like you, ordinary punishment is just a reward for you. Just kneel here for a night, and I will punish you severely after this matter." After that, he took Du Ruoyun and her daughter back to the room to sleep.
In fact, Pei Xuan didn't want to have some fun with Xu Tianqiong, whom he hadn't seen for many days, but it was already late and he had to get up early tomorrow to attend the main event, so he could only regretfully let go of this slutty big-breasted female beast for the time being.
The next day, October 13th, at nine in the morning, the Prison Fox Conference officially began. However, the venue was not in the main hall where Chanyin Temple had hosted large-scale events in the past. Instead, everyone was led to the halfway up the mountain in the back, where simple sheds were set up to accommodate guests from various sects.
When everyone saw that Chanyin Temple held a gathering in such a simple place, some were puzzled, some were angry, and felt that Chanyin Temple was extremely impolite.
"Master Abbot, your temple has countless palaces, but you place us in this shabby place in the wilderness. Do you look down on us fellow martial artists? Is this how Chanyin Temple treats guests?" Sure enough, before everyone had completely sat down, someone jumped out to criticize Chanyin Temple.
He was a middle-aged scholar dressed as a scholar, who came out from under the shed of Tianyan Academy. Pei Xuan recognized him as Kong Jiyi, the son of Kong Xiangren, the abbot of Tianyan Academy. His wife Meng Jingyi was injured by the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, so he was very concerned about this Fox Prison Conference.
"Donor Kong, please be patient." Kong Du, standing in the open space between the huts, smiled slightly. "Our temple has chosen to host you here for a reason, not out of deliberate neglect." He raised his right arm and slowly pointed toward the rock behind him. "Fellow Taoists, please look there."
Everyone looked in the direction Kongdu pointed, and saw a dilapidated small temple on the right side of the mountain, about ten feet high, hidden under the shade of messy trees.
"What's so strange about a dilapidated temple?" Kong Jiyi was still puzzled and asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, "Abbot, please stop being so mysterious!"
"Haha, Mr. Kong doesn't know." Kong Du put his hands together and said solemnly, "This dilapidated temple is called Jingxin Temple, and it is the place where Master Mingguang of Bi Temple practiced." Hearing the name "Master Mingguang", most of the people present were shocked.
Pei Xuan knew that more than half of the reason why Chanyin Temple was recognized as the leader of the six major sects was because of this Mingguang Patriarch.
This person entered Chanyin Temple to practice since he was young, and his Buddhist name was Mingguang.
She became famous at a young age, broke through the heavenly realm in her middle age, and several years later became the abbot of Chanyin Temple as a nun. People at that time called her Mingguang Shen Ni.
But twenty years passed, fifty years passed, a hundred years passed, all of Mingguang Shen Ni's disciples had died, but she herself has not yet passed away. She is already 168 years old this year.
Kongdu, the current abbot of Chanyin Temple, is the great-grandson of her great-grandson according to seniority, so he can only respectfully address her as Master Mingguang.
In ancient times, it was common for cultivators to live for hundreds of years, but since the collapse of the pillars of heaven and the dissipation of spiritual energy, the average lifespan of cultivators has become no different from that of ordinary people.
For thousands of years, no one has lived to be 168 years old. Mingguang Shenni is the first one in thousands of years, which is a miracle.
What's even more terrifying is that the Mingguang Shen Ni not only has a long life, but also has an ageless appearance.
Since she turned a hundred, the nun Mingguang has been in seclusion, practicing asceticism and ignoring worldly affairs. She seldom sees outsiders. Those who occasionally see her beautiful face say that she has a beauty that can topple a country.
People in the martial arts world even rumored that her cultivation had broken through the heavenly level and she had developed an immortal body.
This may be controversial, but what is indisputable is that the cultivation level of the Mingguang Shenni is unprecedented and she is the number one person in the East Continent today.
Therefore, the common people within the influence of Chanyin Temple all worshipped Mingguang Shenni as a real god, saying that she was the reincarnation of the Buddha Mother Peacock King Bodhisattva, and called her "Mingguang Buddha Mother".
This name was originally only used by ordinary people, but it gradually spread, and her colleagues in the martial arts world who were many generations younger than her also started to call her that.
In the end, even the imperial court obeyed public opinion and publicly called her "Mingguang Buddha Mother" in the congratulatory message for her 150th birthday. This became the final word from then on.
"So...so what?" Kong Jiyi learned that the Bright Light Buddha Mother was not far up the mountain. Although he was still stubborn, his voice was no longer as confident as before. "Could it be that the Chanyin Temple wants to rely on its strength to win? With so many fellow martial artists here today, even if the Bright Light Buddha Mother took action, she might not be able to kill us all!"
"Good! Good! Donor Kong, you have misunderstood. Our temple is a pure place of Buddhism. How could we kill or injure anyone? Especially not to mention the bodhisattva-hearted Master Mingguang."
Kongdukou chanted the Buddha's name and shook his head. "It's just that the Nine-tailed Fox is of great importance. Since entering the temple, it has been entrusted to the care of Master Mingguang. But yesterday, I learned that the Nine-tailed Fox, inspired by Master Mingguang, has decided to enter the Buddhist monastery to atone for her sins. Master Mingguang, moved by her sincerity, has agreed to accept her as a disciple."
Kong Du's words caused an uproar among the crowd again, and Pei Xuan couldn't help but sigh that Chanyin Temple's trick of replacing one thing with another was very clever.
Originally, Zenyin Temple was just the captor of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, and everyone could still fight for the ownership, but Zenyin Temple turned the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox into its legitimate disciple. Even if it was charged with wounding others, at least the ownership would no longer be disputed.
"This... is this possible?" Kong Jiyi was furious. "Can the matter of that witch injuring my wife be written off just like that?"
"Since the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox is already a disciple of our temple, the responsibility for this matter naturally falls to our temple."
Kong Du said in a deep voice, "The Nine-Tailed Fox will personally apologize to the injured, and our temple will prepare generous gifts as compensation." After that, Kong Du turned and called out to the mountain, "Please call in Uncle Master Nine-Tailed!"
Everyone was stunned at first, but then quickly realized what was happening. Since Mingguang Buddha Mother was Kongdu's ancestor, her disciple must be Kongdu's great-uncle.
Pei Xuan and most people who had not seen the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox in person immediately held their breath, ready to catch a glimpse of the legendary beauty.
With a creaking sound, the shabby wooden door of Jingxin Temple slowly opened, and a white figure walked through the branches of the trees and came in front of everyone.
The woman was wearing a white dress, with long silver hair draped behind her. Two furry fox ears poked out from her hair, and nine equally furry fox tails extended from her waist, curled into a ball.
