In a barren mountain in the west of Yangzhou.
An old monk is meditating and resting here. If Yang Qingyuan were here, he would definitely recognize that he was the descendant of the Liuli Dharma lineage of the pharmacist who was rescuing disasters in Jinling. The old monk was empty.
At this time, the old monk no longer looked like the eminent monk he had been before. The monk's clothes were stained with blood and were in tatters, with his white inner clothes exposed.
Not far away, footsteps were heard, which made the old monk who was adjusting his breath subconsciously be on guard, but he immediately put down his guard.
If the pursuer were coming, with this person's martial arts, he would never make such a noise.
"Master Kongwu, I went to the stream to get some water and picked some wild fruits."
A woman in green clothes came from a distance.
"Namo Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha, thank you Feixuan for your help! If it weren't for Feixuan's help, I would have gone to the Western Heaven Glazed World to see my Buddha!"
…
Two days ago, at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain.
The Blood River Sect Master was originally joking, but now he is really angry!
Someone tried to steal his loot, and got it.
This made the Blood River Sect Master, who had been so smart, look like a joke.
The Blood River Sect Master came to Jiuhua Mountain for two purposes. The first was naturally to obtain the last small part of the manuscript of the Blood River Scripture, and to confirm his conjecture about the Destruction of Life Realm through the experience of the Blood River Ancestor.
He found the last small part of the Blood River Sutra in Dajue Temple.
The other thing that the Blood River Sect Leader asked for was the Buddha bone relics in Zhuyuan Temple.
Of course, in strict terms, this should be called the Bodhisattva bone relic. It is said that it was the relic after the human incarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva passed away.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is as patient and motionless as the earth, and meditates deeply as a secret treasure.
Its relics also have the ability to suppress the mind.
Although the secret method of the Blood River Sect is unparalleled in the world, and the ancestor of the Blood River Sect is also a member of the same generation, in all things in the world, there are gains and losses.
The secret techniques of the Blood River Sect are certainly powerful, but their impact on people's minds is unmatched by other martial arts.
Thirty percent of the secret arts practitioners in the Blood River Sect will lose their minds due to the evil energy of the innate blood element, and eventually become possessed and die.
The character of the Blood River Sect Master is naturally unmatched by ordinary people, but he is also the most profound in practicing the Blood River Secret Technique, and he is also the most severely impacted by evil spirits.
Although his skills may be able to increase significantly after becoming a demon, the Blood River Sect Master is here to practice, not to be a zombie.
If you can't even guarantee your basic sanity, then what's the use of having a breakthrough in martial arts? !
Fa Shi, the most powerful warrior on Jiuhua Mountain, had been killed by the Blood River Sect Master, and the remaining people could not threaten him. However, when he came to Zhuyuan Temple, an old monk arrived first and took away the relics. .
I worked hard to cut down the tree, but the fruit was picked away. No one can tolerate this.
Mr. Wei, the leader of the Blood River Sect and the most powerful demon in the world, is even more temperamental.
So there was a chase at night.
Kong Wu knew at the first sight that he was no match for Mr. Wei. At this time, Kong Wu was in a strange state. He was not considered a cave, nor a man of heaven and earth. How could he match Mr. Wei? The ultimate devil? !
Then run and that's it!
Yang Qingyuan once asserted that Kong Wu was born in Shaolin, which is correct. Kong Wu practiced Shaolin's two classics of Yi Jin and Marrow Cleansing, and his internal power was long and mellow.
Although the true essence of the Blood River Sect Master is unique in the realm of heaven and earth, the speed of Kong Wu's recuperation is not slow.
One has a long blue bar, and the other has a quick recovery of blue. Naturally, it is impossible to determine the winner by relying on internal energy consumption.
Naturally, the empty Qinggong is not as good as the Blood River Sect Master.
The master of the Blood River Sect's Qing Kung is one of the best in the world. It is called "Come and Go leisurely", which comes from the meaning of "Go leisurely, come leisurely". With the current level of the Blood River Sect, he is already standing tall with his light body. , if it is about to fly but has not yet soared.
But what is useless is Shaolin's Nine Figures and Six Sitting Figures.
This body technique is one of the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin. Whether you are meditating, walking or even eating, you will perform this martial arts unintentionally and integrate it into your own life.
The empty Nine-Picture Six-Seated Statue has perfected body skills. Although it is not as fast and elegant as Mr. Wei, it is still difficult for people to catch up easily.
The two of them chased each other for hundreds of miles.
Just when Kong Wu was about to be caught up, a Buddha's light lit up in the night sky.
It was obviously just a glimmer of light, but neither Kong Wu nor the Blood River Sect Master had ever seen such a bright Buddha light.
"Buddha's light appears!"
The darkest moment before dawn was dispelled in an instant by a faint but seemingly vast Buddha's light.
The conceited leader of the Blood River Sect was shocked by this move. Unknown to the enemy, he chose to retreat first and observe carefully before continuing to take action.
Kong Wu also took this opportunity to temporarily escape the pursuit of the Blood River Sect Master.
"Thank you Feixuan for helping me!"
There are only two people in this world who know the Tathagata Divine Palm, one is Yang Qingyuan and the other is Shi Feixuan.
But if Yang Qingyuan had just arrived in person, it would definitely not be as simple as scaring away the Blood River Sect Master.
"The evil nature of this person's true energy is something Fei Xuan has only seen in her life. To be able to scare this person away is already relying on Yang Hou's Tathagata Divine Palm."
Kong Wu glanced at Shi Fei Xuan, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Fei Xuan, you!?"
The master concubine has reached the Dongxuan realm, and she shouldn't be doing it at this speed.
This is not to say that Shi Feixuan cannot step into the cave profound realm. In fact, according to the mind of Tathagata Divine Palm, Shi Feixuan can enter the cave profound realm when he reaches Nirvana.
It was only because she wanted to continue to practice hard that she did not enter the realm of Dongxuan. According to Shi Feixuan's previous thoughts, this realm of Dongxuan would last at least seven years. She never thought that she would be able to break through it today.
"Namo Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha caused Feixuan's practice to go astray. It is really the fault of the old monk."
"Master Wulu once said that nothing in this world is more precious than life. Any Dharma lineage or Buddhist principles are all false in the face of compassion."
Shi Feixuan just smiled. Under the dawn sun, it was like an immortal descended into the world. Now Shi Feixuan has a somewhat "cihang" flavor.
If she didn't enter the cave, she wouldn't even be qualified to scare Mr. Wei.
"Master Kongwu, let's leave quickly! If that person reacts and catches up, we'll be doomed!"
"This place is not far from Jinling City. When we go to Jinling, Marquis Yang is here. This beast will never dare to be so rampant!"
…
——
At the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, Yang Qingyuan received information about six doors.
"Going to the southwest!?" Yang Qingyuan looked at the information in his hand and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
The leader of the Blood River Sect came from the southwest. Now that he has finished his work, he will go back to the southwest. Isn't this normal?
Yes and no.
From the same point of view, the person who can become the leader of the Blood River Sect will definitely not be a fool.
If he blatantly killed a Buddhist Fa Tianxiangdi on Mount Jiuhua, and kidnapped two abbots of Dongxuan and Dajue Temple, many people in the world would have different opinions, but Buddhism would definitely not be able to swallow this tone. .
Once Jing Nian Chanyuan reacts, it will definitely be difficult for the Blood River Sect Master to return south.
The Blood River Sect Master must have thought of this, so why did he do this? !
Are you so confident that you have nothing to fear? Or is there another purpose?
Yang Qingyuan took back the information, "Master Zhang, let's go to Mount Jiuhua to see if we can find any clues?!"
After all, there is Zhang Tianshi who is extremely keen on the blood river sect's energy. It would be a pity if he doesn't use it!
Zhang Xuanqing immediately followed Yang Qingyuan to Mount Jiuhua.
At this moment, Jiuhua Mountain is in chaos.
The many temples on Jiuhua Mountain have always been headed by Dajue Temple and Zhuyuan Temple, but now the abbot and two elders of Dajue Temple are missing, and the top master of Zhuyuan Temple has passed away, and they are unable to take charge of the overall situation at all.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Ciwang, the supervisor of Dajue Temple, met Marquis Yang."
When Yang Qingyuan went up the mountain, he received the invitation. Although Lao Yang was a member of the Taoist sect, and was a second-rank official of the imperial court, with the title of marquis, Dajue Temple did not dare to neglect and sent the temple supervisor who is now in the temple to receive him.
As the supervisor of the temple, he is responsible for overseeing all matters related to the courtyard, such as greetings and farewells among officials, gatherings of monks and offering incense, visiting donors, celebrating good and bad fortunes, borrowing and repayment, the yearly calculation of the courtyard, the availability of money and grain, and expenditures. When going in and out, be prepared to use vegetarian food such as rice and wheat year by year, and buy them in time; when making sauce and vinegar, you must follow the season; when making oil and grinding, etc., you should also be careful.
In charge of the general affairs of the temple, he is named the right arm of the abbot. In addition, the temple oversees the maintenance of forests, farms, palaces, and buildings. He is basically the CEO of a temple.
In Dajue Temple, Ciwang, the supervisor of the temple, is the fourth figure after the abbot Ciyuan and the two masters Cijing and Ci'an. He is even second only to the abbot in administrative affairs.
"I have something to ask you. I wonder if it is convenient for the master to supervise the temple?!"
"What are you talking about, Marquis Yang? Although everyone in Hesi Temple is a monk, they are also citizens of Zhou Dynasty. How dare you disobey Marquis Yang's orders?"
Zhang Xuanqing on the side looked at the prison in a daze.
Are all Buddhists so aware of current affairs?
Although Taoism is the state religion, the Taoist group will not be so attentive to people in the court.
Amid Zhang Xuanqing's doubts, Temple Supervisor Ciwang led Yang Qingyuan and Zhang Xuanqing into a meditation room.
After Jian Si served tea in person, he asked the novice monk beside him to retreat and closed the door.
The atmosphere in the room made Zhang Xuanqing feel nervous all of a sudden. If he hadn't been a master of the Heaven and Earth Realm, he would have suspected that there were a lot of swordsmen and axemen lurking in this quiet room. He could only use Ciwang to throw a cup as a sign. Then he rushed out and hacked him and Yang Qingyuan to death.
I saw Ciwang suddenly approaching quickly. Just when Zhang Xuanqing was about to use his skills, Ciwang suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"There are thousands of households in Fusi in Jinyiweidong Town, Chen Lutong meets Yang Hou, and the Marquis is safe!"
"..." Zhang Xuanqing fell into a brief embarrassment. He had no idea what to say at this time!
In fact, Yang Qingyuan has roughly guessed the identity of the temple supervisor, and was able to detect the remaining fragments of the Blood River Sutra hidden in Dajue Temple. Naturally, the identity of this undercover agent is not too low. Combined with Master Ciwang's previous Based on his performance, Yang Qingyuan was 70% sure that Master Ciwang was an undercover agent.
Sure enough, the person lives up to his name. This Chen Qianhu is named Lutong, and he has prospered with wealth. Of course, his dharma title was not too high, just the word "wang", and as an undercover agent, he directly became the fourth-in-command of Dajue Temple and the second-in-command of administration.
"Lying here for a long time, thank you Chen Qianhu for your hard work!"
Chen Lutong, or Master Ciwang, stood up and sat down below Yang Qingyuan.
"Yang Houyan is serious. In fact, I had already been tonsured before joining the Jinyi Guards!"
Chen Lutong's main business is still a monk, and his side business is the thousands of households in Jinyiwei.
However, he adheres to the principle of loving what he does. Whether he is a monk or a royal guard, his career is prosperous.
Later, this Chen Lutong told what happened that night. He witnessed the fight that night, but his martial arts was not high and he was not qualified to participate. Although the Blood River Sect Master discovered him, he had no intention of killing him.
"I witnessed him killing Master Fa Shi of Zhuyuan Temple, and he was knocked unconscious not long after. But the Blood River Sect Master was still in front of me at that time, and he must have accomplices!"
It is reasonable to have accomplices. After all, the Blood River Sect Master not only took away the remains of Master Fa Shi, but also abducted Abbot Ci Yuan and two Dongxuan realms.
"I was not unconscious for long at the time. When I woke up, I immediately sent an urgent message to the Jin Yiwei brothers at the foot of the mountain, asking them to pay attention to the movements of abnormal people."
"Have you found anything?!" Zhang Xuanqing on the side asked with a wave of presence.
Ciwang did not discriminate against Zhang Xuanqing because he was a Taoist priest. He replied, "I found that a man suddenly bought three coffins from the Jinyiwei at the foot of the mountain. He said that someone in the caravan died of illness and needed to be taken back to Xiangxi for burial."
"Jinyiwei later obtained their death documents, which were all forged with money."
Yang Qingyuan nodded, and then took out three simple paintings from his arms, "Look, the Blood River Sect Master you saw that night was among these three people?!"
Ciwang took the portrait and recognized one of them, a young master, at a glance.
"Master Marquis, this man is very similar to the Blood River Sect Master I saw that night!"
"As expected!" Yang Qingyuan narrowed his starry eyes.
"Uncle Yang, what's wrong?!" Zhang Xuanqing expressed confusion at Yang Qingyuan's sudden operation.
"Master Zhang, I have already met the Blood River Sect Master, and we also had dinner in the same restaurant."
When Yang Qingyuan saw Zhang Xuling's letters on Longhu Mountain, he already had doubts in his heart.
At the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, the young master he met was surnamed Wei, and the ancestor of Xuehe, Jue Mingzi, was also surnamed Wei.
Ancestor Xuehe was born in the Lingnan Wei family, and the young master was also born in the Lingnan Wei family. This young master also had an old servant from the Dongxuan realm beside him, seemingly to protect his safety.
I wonder which aristocratic family in the world has such strength? !
No matter Wei Pei, Liu Xue, the Four Surnames of Guanzhong, or the Five Surnames of Qiwang, a century-old family, they all do not have this strength.
When Yang Qingyuan got the news that the leader of the Blood River Sect appeared on Jiuhua Mountain, this suspicion turned into an inference.
Now this matter can be confirmed from Ciwang's mouth.
"It seems that the Blood River Sect's breath-condensing technique has reached a new level! If it can be deceived by you, it can basically be deceived by most of the masters in the world!"
Zhang Xuanqing's white eyebrows wrinkled, this is a troublesome matter!
Yang Qingyuan shook his head, "It's too early to say this."
