Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

The old abbot shot Chen Xianglan's brother to death with his own hands, eliminating the "evidence".

Even if Chen Xianglan continues to struggle with this matter, it is just a guess and does not constitute a threat at all.

Coupled with the recent incidents in Fukuyama Temple, he may not take the risk and continue to attack the two of them.

However, there are no absolutes.

In order to prevent the old abbot from taking risks, and Chen Xianglan had just received a wonderful teaching, he needed to practice again.

Jiang He simply invited the two of them to travel together.

After you have the power to protect yourself, consider spreading out and looking for and rescuing people who are in a similar situation.

What happened to the Buddhist sect is appalling.

Even though Jiang He didn't tell the inside story about the demon stealing the Buddha's name, the two of them still had lingering fears, worried that they would be ambushed by the monks as soon as they went out.

Jiang He's invitation was exactly what they wanted, so they decisively agreed.

Painter Li was quite surprised to see Master Gu go out for a long time and bring back the two heroines.

After they were introduced to each other, they suddenly understood and hurriedly greeted Chen Xianglan as brothers and sisters.

Jiang He didn't interfere and just let them go.

"I have decided to save people like Chen Xianglan who deserve to die and teach them the Dharma... This is no different from accepting a disciple."

"If Chen Xianglan continues to spread the law, over time, it will even expand into a huge hidden sect!"

"It's okay now. If it really develops into such a huge organization, the structure must not be so loose."

"Name, concept..."

“Not only can it enhance a sense of belonging, but it can also become people’s belief, allowing them to gather under the same flag and strive for common ideals.”

The long time has given Jiang He a very long-term perspective.

Just by saving Chen Xianglan, he foresaw the possibility of developing into a huge organization in the future, as well as the many difficulties that would be encountered in the future.

As the former rebel leader and Sirius Army God, he does not lack corresponding experience.

The name and concept were quickly determined, and we were just waiting for the right time.

As for now.

Jiang He did not continue to stay in Fushan City, but said goodbye to the city officials and left the city with the three of them.

The city official of Fushan was quite reluctant to leave, but he also knew that Brother Gu could not live in the same city for a long time like him, so out of regret, he wrote a poem to say goodbye to his friend.

Seeing this situation, Gu Yuerong couldn't help but said.

"Actually, I heard a few days ago that Mr. Gu was painting for nobles in the city in exchange for a large sum of money. I thought he was the kind of person who follows people's influence and pursues fame and fortune, so I didn't take it seriously..."

"It's normal from hearsay."

Painter Li spoke curiously.

"What now?"

"I'm just narrow-minded."

Gu Yuerong sighed in admiration.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Looking up, he saw that Mr. Gu had already said goodbye to the officials and was riding towards him with a smile on his face.

"What if I am really the person who pursues fame and wealth?"

"Master Gu was joking..."

Painter Li took Mr. Gu's words as a joke and modesty.

Gu Yuerong, on the other hand, actually thought about it and answered seriously.

"Even if Mr. Gu is really just for the so-called fame and fortune, what you did in Fushan City deserves to be called a gentleman."

Mr. Gu smiled cheerfully and rode off.

"gone!"

…

"Abbott, the painter Gu has already left Fushan City, and the city officials did not accompany him. After saying goodbye, he returned to the mansion."

Fukuyama Temple, in front of the Buddha statue.

The old monk sat with his eyes closed and chanted sutras devoutly.

He didn't raise his eyelids until he finished reciting the entire sutra.

"Where are the two women?"

"Follow him."

After hearing this, the old monk closed his eyes again.

"Let them be."

With thousands of years of Buddhism, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions.

If you don't care, kill everyone who may notice...

The movement may be greater than if it were left alone.

Only those who are unknown and have little impact if killed, or those who really touch the bottom line of the Buddhist sect, will be driven out and killed.

Painter Gu and the others had not yet touched the bottom line, and it was too risky to take action, so they simply ignored it.

[You and the three of you left Fushan City, traveling around the world and helping others. 】

[However, a year has passed, and although you occasionally come to rescue, you have not accepted any more disciples to teach the Dharma. 】

Jiang He and others traveled around, practicing Kung Fu while secretly inquiring about information about Buddhist temples in various places.

It's a pity that the Buddhist temple itself is secretive, and their sources of information are relatively scarce, and their manpower is slightly insufficient.

In a whole year, he didn't take action a few times.

Even if a few people are rescued, they are likely to be similar to those victims of the Kunzhou disaster. They are just potential victims, and there is no need to recruit people into the group.

Or after escaping, he was afraid of the power of the Buddhist temple and just wanted to run away, without any intention of pursuing it further.

Jiang He could understand the mood of these people and did not force them to join the group, but helped them leave.

They don't know much. As long as they move to a distant place, they don't need to worry about persecution in Buddhist temples.

The number of manpower could not be increased, and Jiang He was not impatient at all.

Developing an organization is not something that happens overnight, and it is normal for there to be a lack of manpower and slow progress.

Spiritual beasts have a long lifespan, and he can afford to wait.

However, after this year's experiences, Gu Yuerong and Chen Xianglan completely believed Jiang He's statement.

If it was just an encounter at Fukuyama Temple, it could also be explained that there was something wrong with the abbot of Fukuyama Temple.

Then, paradoxical incidents have occurred in Buddhist temples in different regions and even different states...

It has nothing to do with the abbot of Fukuyama Temple, right?

Perhaps it is just as Jiang He said.

With the Buddha already dead, the Buddhist sect that has gone through endless years has finally experienced some unknown changes, and is no longer as majestic as it used to be.

There may be something more terrifying lurking behind it.

Gu Yuerong was even more frightened.

If it's just one monk and one temple, the Gu family can still solve it if they come forward.

Now it involves the entire Buddhist sect. In front of such a giant, the Gu family is as small as ants.

If the other party gets even slightly angry, the entire Gu family will suffer disaster!

Realizing that he had almost brought the entire Gu family into the abyss, Gu Yuerong could not sleep for several months.

So in the middle of the night, there was a knock on Jiang He's door.

Jiang He was still wondering about her purpose, but he didn't expect that she said something shocking.

"Mr. Gu, I want to die."

"?"

Realizing that there was some ambiguity in the words, Gu Yuerong calmed down.

However, before she could reorganize her language.

Jiang He already understood what she meant.

"You faked your death to escape to prevent the family from being implicated?"

"This is also feasible, but if Miss Gu is worried about involving the family, she can return home directly without having to accompany me."

"The incident at Fukuyama Temple has passed. You just need to forget about the incident here and no longer be involved in it."

Hearing this, Gu Yuerong shook his head without thinking.

"I already know this, how can I turn a blind eye?"

"However, the Buddhist sect is very powerful. Instead of letting everyone in my family bear the price for my choice, I might as well fake my death and escape so that I can completely let go."

"Even if I make any omissions, I don't have to worry about implicating the family."

Jiang He looked at the determined woman in front of him, feeling filled with relief.

The girl who cried on her back then has now become a truly reliable adult.

[Gu Yuerong visited late at night and wanted to fake his death to escape. 】

[You have a long-term perspective and know that this is not a matter for you alone. 】

[If Saving People and Teaching the Dharma develops and grows in the future, we will encounter similar problems frequently, and this decision will become an object of imitation. 】

【You decide……】

[A: Fake death to escape, B: Put it aside for now, C: Go in the opposite direction, D: Intervene personally. 】

Jianghe's fingers lightly brushed over the words.

What comes to mind is not the memory that just flowed in.

It's scenes from the last years of prosperity.

One by one, the righteous people chose to believe in themselves, pretended to be dead, and escaped from their families.

They put on masks and became what others call demon-refiners, carrying the darkness of this world with them, even if they die without regrets.

"Fake your own death to escape..."

"It would be great if there was such a choice back then."

Jiang He sighed and dropped his fingers.

【Going in the opposite direction】

Back then, the Origin Demon dominated the world and had all the right to speak.

Once the demon refiners reveal their identity, they will definitely kill everyone and implicate the nine clans.

That was the path that had to be taken, and it was a dark path.

Today the situation is very different.

Although Buddhism is a large school, it is not the only one in the world, and rules must be followed even on the surface.

The method he passed down is no longer an inexplicable "demon's power".

Therefore, there is a choice.

"I hope you can walk under the sun, be admired by the world, and become the true heroes that word of mouth spreads."

This was Jiang He's final decision.

It is also the choice today.

…

"It doesn't have to be this way."

The gentleman said calmly, but his voice seemed a little sad in Gu Yuerong's ears.

She looked at her husband's face and saw that his eyes were sad, as if he had recalled something.

With a sigh, the gentleman preached.

"Even if you give up your identity, fake your death and escape, and let go of your hands and feet, you are still nothing in front of the Buddha Sect, and what you can do is extremely limited."

"Correspondingly, this means that the Buddha Sect has also let go of their hands and feet. Once you touch the bottom line, they can hunt you down arbitrarily, and even call on the court and various sects to hunt you down."

"It's just a waste of life."

"If you don't touch the bottom line and just save people...then why bother to fake death?"

"As long as you don't touch the bottom line, what you are facing is just a Buddhist temple."

"In this case, family, reputation, background, these external things will become your help, forcing the Buddhist temple to consider the impact, and even sit back and watch you kill the evil monk and save people from leaving."

"Like we did recently."

"If you are still worried about implicating the family..."

"Then improve your strength and reputation."

"A fledgling heroine, who is willing to take risks in Buddhist temples, will also take action."

"However, for a famous hero, the Buddhist temple will consider its strength and influence and restrain its hands."

"If you become a world-famous and powerful monk and make many like-minded friends, even if the Buddha Sect wants to touch you, you must still consider it."

Not only did he not fake his death to escape, but he remained anonymous.

Instead, use the power of the family and become famous all over the world?

My husband's suggestion is completely opposite to my own idea, but it is more effective!

It seemed that the sky was opening up the fog, and the gloom that shrouded Gu Yuerong's heart quickly dissipated.

She finally understood the future path and figured out why her husband had been laughing at himself and chasing fame and fortune a long time ago.

"From now on, I am also a person chasing fame and wealth!"
