After separating from Hai Lanzhu, Qian Yunsheng put away Agu and the Soul-Captivating Banner, turned back into a monk, and flew towards the ancient formation quietly with the Heart-Questing Pearl. After a while, he flew to the front of the formation again and was smoothly picked up by Xuannan.
The scene this time was different from the last time. Accompanied by Xuannan, he saw many monks losing their honors, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"Senior Brother came from Wenxinzhu, saying that Senior Brother Xuande was ambushed by Guidi. Looking at it today, I'm afraid the loss is still higher than the monk's estimate, right?"
Xuannan also frowned and sighed: "Junior brother, you are here just in time. Come and see your senior brother Xuande, he may be dying soon!"
Qian Yunsheng was surprised. Originally, he had thought that Xuannan and Xuande would send the "spies" up together. If something happens to Xuande, will it affect my plan?
Xuannan seemed to see Qian Yunsheng's thoughts and whispered:
"The abbot, the head of the family, already knows what we discussed. This time, the abbot personally issued an order. On the surface, he asked me to go back and tell the truth about the ghost land. In fact, he asked me to report the matter in secret."
"In a few days, when the ancient formation is opened, someone will temporarily take over my brother's position. Junior brother, you can rest assured!"
Qian Yunsheng nodded, secretly thinking that this matter seemed to have attracted the attention of the head abbot. Therefore, he asked Xuannan for a few words about Leiyin Temple's attitude, and then he entered the center of the formation together and saw Xuande sitting in it.
I saw Xuande being wrapped in rich spiritual energy. He was sitting quietly under the statue of Sakyamuni, his face was like gold paper, and he was chanting sutras slowly. Seeing that he is already in a state of incurable pain, he may die at any time.
When Xuande saw Qian Yunsheng and Xuannan walking in, he opened his eyes and smiled bitterly:
"Life in this world is like a big dream. Unexpectedly, in the small world of Huangquan, we have hit the wall again and again. On the contrary, my junior brother has achieved outstanding results. I am really ashamed of myself!"
Qian Yunsheng hurriedly took two steps to approach Xuande and held his hand. While channeling a bit of spiritual power to help him survive, he comforted himself and said:
"Senior brother, please don't say that. There are still a few days before this ancient formation can be opened. As long as senior brother persists for a few more days and returns to Leiyin Temple, there will always be a way for the master and the venerables to master the mystical skills. .”
On the contrary, Xuande looked away and shook his head: "It's useless. Senior brother knows his situation himself."
"Junior brother Xuannan has insisted on using this spiritual center to extend my life in the past few days. Senior brother, I have already committed many more sins. How can I be so shameless as to ask the venerables to take action?"
Qian Yunsheng quickly comforted him in a low voice:
"Senior brother, don't say that. If it weren't for your bravery, I don't know how many monks would have been poisoned by ghosts and ghosts! Now that senior brother is seriously injured, the venerable and the abbot will definitely not sit idly by."
Xuande seemed to have thought through it a long time ago. He shook his head and sighed: "Junior brother, don't comfort me any more. Senior brother, I can't do it anymore. Even if the venerables are willing to take action, senior brother, I can't wait for that moment."
"But junior brother is different. This is the time when there is much to be done. For the sake of my plan to prosper Leiyin Temple, junior brother still has to shoulder this heavy burden."
"Recently, I heard Junior Brother Xuannan talk about many of Junior Brother's achievements, and Senior Brother feels very relieved. After I leave, this important responsibility will have to fall on Junior Brother. I hope Junior Brother will continue to work hard!"
Qian Yunsheng hurriedly said to Amitabha: "For the sake of our Leiyin Temple, how dare I slack off? Senior brother, please don't say too much. It's better to hold on to your strength and wait for the formation to open!"
Xuande's face lit up when he saw Qian Yunsheng agreeing. He recited as if returning to the light:
"The Heart Sutra says, there is no ignorance, and there is no end of ignorance, and there is no old age and death, and there is no end of old age and death."
"My monks are just like a drop of water, they are born and destroyed, and then return to water!"
Qian Yunsheng saw that Xuande's body had begun to show signs of dissipation, and knew that his time had come and it would be difficult to return. In addition, after seeing Qian Yunsheng express his last thoughts, he naturally no longer wanted to persist.
So the two of them had no choice but to comply with Xuande's wishes, silently stepped aside, sat cross-legged together, and began to chant sutras for him.
Xuande seemed to be completely intact now. His whole body was glowing with rays of light, and his cheeks were rosy as he chanted:
"Zen practitioners live and die. Some die sitting up and down, some go into the water and sing away, and some go up the mountain and dig in the ground to bury themselves. In short, don't be greedy in life, and don't be afraid of death."
"Life is not joyful, and death is not sad. Whether it's life or death, just let it go!"
After finishing speaking, he recited a verse:
"This year, four great generals will leave the Lord.
Its path is self-explanatory, and there is no Buddha in it.
There is no need to shave or bathe.
A pile of fierce fire, thousands of feet upon thousands of feet.
Haha, what a dashing Xuande! "
After reading this, I bowed my head and smiled, and passed away...
Qian Yunsheng and Xuannan saw Xuande's death, and after reciting enough scriptures about salvation, they stood up again. Xuannan took Xuande's remains and sighed:
"Senior Brother Xuande is really a role model for our generation. He is magnanimous when he comes and is free and unrestrained when he leaves. Our senior brothers should really follow Brother Xuande's example!"
Qian Yunsheng also asked sadly: "I wonder where Senior Brother Xuande was attacked? Junior brother is not talented and is willing to avenge Senior Brother Xuande. Don't let the Guidi tribe underestimate me, a member of Leiyin Temple!"
Xuannan also nodded in agreement and said: "What the junior brother said is exactly what the senior brother meant. However, senior Xuande is seriously injured these days, and I have to distract myself from taking care of the prisoners, so I can't spare my time for a while."
"Now that junior brother is back and taking charge, senior brother can feel relieved. Please stay still in the formation and watch senior brother go to avenge senior brother Xuande!"
Qian Yunsheng quickly stopped him and said, "How can senior brother take action in this matter?"
"Senior brother is in charge of the formation, and he has a lot of responsibilities. Now is the most critical time, and we must not miss anything. Otherwise, wouldn't we and other disciples all lose their way back?"
"This matter originally started because I was waiting to spy on the ghost land. Naturally, my junior brother and I should lead the way!"
Xuannan shook his head in reluctance and said: "Junior brother is running around and making such great achievements, which is already very hard work. As the saying goes, the fast horse dies first, the sword is blunt first, and the good wood is cut down first."
"Junior brother, this precious sword should be used in the most critical places. How can senior brother keep junior brother in front of me at all times? If there is any damage or a major event is missed, wouldn't it be senior brother's fault!"
When the two people were arguing, a monk suddenly came in from outside and reported: "Master Qi, there are Huikong, Huineng, Huixing and other masters outside who have returned safely. They are waiting outside the formation. Do you want to be put into the formation?" ?”
When Qian Yunsheng heard these familiar names, he said with some joy: "Could it be that the monk's acquaintances from the temple are back?"
"Last time, the young monk was looking for them along the way. After going back and forth several times, he was unable to meet them. Unexpectedly, he finally had the chance to meet them this time!"
Xuannan also knew that these few were good players in the temple, and that the strength of the ancient formation could be enhanced this time, so he replied with a jolt:
"According to the rules, after all tests are done and it is confirmed that there is no ghost soul-stealing possession, etc., then join the formation!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Since he is an acquaintance of junior brother, let's go and have a look together."
Qian Yunsheng hurriedly said to Amitabha: "I will comply with senior brother's arrangements!" Then they walked out together.
The two of them flew to the edge of the ancient formation, and saw that although Huikong and others had not seen each other for several months, they were obviously more murderous, and they were obviously working hard in the ghost place.
They did not expect to see Qian Yunsheng in the formation, and they were all quite surprised, so they all bowed in surprise and said: "I have seen Master Uncle Faru!"
Xuannan laughed at the side and said: "It turns out that these are the nephews that junior brother has always mentioned! These are the backbone of our Hui generation in Leiyin Temple. Junior brother has good friends with them. No wonder he does the same. sharp!"
After Huikong and others were inspected, they entered the formation, worshiped together with Xuannan, and then said in surprise:
"I didn't expect that Master Fa Ru would come down too! This place is so dangerous, how could my master agree to let him down?"
Xuannan shook his head and said with a smile: "You guys don't know something now. Junior Brother Faru has practiced a powerful reincarnation formation. Plus, there are immortal weapons to help, even if I suddenly encounter it, I will still suffer. .”
Qian Yunsheng quickly stood aside and said humbly: "Senior Brother Xuannan has been praised too much, how dare Fa Ru take it!"
