Cheng Ling took Qingya and Qingyi to search for several hours, but could not find any trace of Master Mingzhi and King Mohou Luojia. And as the distance goes further, the traces of the battle become fainter and eventually disappear.
Qingya said anxiously: "What should I do? Uncle Master is already the sect master of Fanhua Temple and he has disappeared now. How should we explain to the sect when we return?"
Cheng Ling said: "Isn't the master of Fanhua Temple Master Xianhui? When did he become Master Mingzhi?"
Qing Ya explained: "Brother Cheng didn't know something. Before entering the Qinglian Void Realm, she was indeed Master Xianhui. But I don't know what happened to her in the Void Realm. She was forced to use all her strength, and her cultivation level of the fifth weakest among heavenly beings exploded. When you come out, you will naturally be sensed by Heaven and have to go to the tomb of the gods."
"On that day, we also bumped into Uncle Mingzhi by chance, and we only came to understand when we found the relic sword in her hand."
"The Tomb of the Gods?" Cheng Ling asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say that you can go there on your own after reaching the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor? Is it just like ascending to the Immortal Realm, it requires heavenly induction."
Qingya was silent for a while, and finally said: "These are the secrets of the sect, but Brother Cheng has rescued me many times, so it's okay to listen to you. According to the records of Fanhua Temple, the god ????????????" The Tomb of ??? is the passage from the Immortal Realm to a higher interface. The Buddhism Sect can sense the location of the passage after it has passed through the fifth decline of heaven and humans, or the Tao Sect has reached the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor."
"In the world of monasticism, it is natural to strive for the first step. Often, as soon as they sense the location of the tomb of the gods, those powerful people will go there immediately. However, there are also some monks who stay in the fairy world for various reasons, but once they reach the level of heaven and human beings, At the peak of the Five Decline or the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor's perfection, he can no longer stay."
"Speaking of which, the former sect leader had achieved it a long time ago, but for the sake of Fanhua Temple, she sealed her cultivation so that the law of heaven could not sense it."
"Is it because of the Shangyuan Alliance?" Cheng Ling asked. Jiang Haoyang mobilized the entire Taoist sect to become an enemy of Buddhism, so Master Xianhui naturally had to be prepared.
Qing Ya said: "This is only one of the reasons, and another reason is the selection of the sect leader. Originally, the previous sect master intended to let our master Mingjing take over, but unfortunately she was killed by Jiang Haoyang, and the other masters Jingjia, Mingkong Neither the teacher nor the wife is a suitable candidate."
"Oh, so it's only Master Mingzhi."
At this point, Qingya fell silent. Cheng Ling glanced at her in confusion, but saw Qingyi's lips moving, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
He then asked: "Qingyi, do you have anything to say to Brother Cheng?"
This little girl was innocent and ignorant of affairs. Cheng Ling always treated her as a little sister and spoke in a much gentler tone.
Qingyi finally couldn't help it and said: "Brother Cheng doesn't know something. Uncle Mingzhi's identity is very mysterious. I have always felt that the sect master seems to have some scruples about her, and he must not want to pass on the position of sect master to her."
Cheng Ling suddenly understood, no wonder he always felt that Master Mingzhi was very different from the other masters. Back then, he had dedicated the second half of the Sword Canon, as well as important Buddhist classics such as the Infinite Life Sutra and the Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma. Make a bad face.
He suddenly lost interest in searching and said: "So far, we have completely lost all traces of Master Mingzhi. Maybe she went to another virtual world. If not, you can improve your strength and search at the same time!"
Qing Ya nodded silently. She knew that Cheng Ling was admonishing her from a side perspective. Compared with the eight kings and the other super powerful sect leaders, their strength was too weak. If anything happened,
He couldn't even protect himself, let alone protect Fanhua Temple.
When Cheng Ling saw her nodding, he took out a few talismans from the storage ring and said, "These are the invisibility talismans. You guys stay here and don't move. I'll go see if there are any evil places."
The two women took it, released an invisibility charm, and then stood there obediently, motionless.
Cheng Ling's figure flickered and disappeared. With his current mastery of shrinking the ground, searching for evil places is naturally much faster. As long as the distance is not too far, he can return to the two women in time every time.
Soon, he found three evil places. In order to prevent other monks from discovering them, he specially set up a hiding formation on the periphery. He did not return to the two women until five days later.
The purple figure slowly appeared, and the two women finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qingyi asked: "Brother Cheng, where have you been these past few days?"
"Don't worry, I just found an evil place. It must be of some help to your cultivation. Come with me!"
The two women were overjoyed and hurriedly followed them, but Cheng Ling couldn't shrink to an inch just by taking them with him. Moreover, because of the special environment in the virtual world, he didn't dare to fly in the air, so he could only move forward with his physical skills.
At this speed, it is estimated that it will take three days to reach the nearest evil place.
But this journey is not without danger. There are several times more Yin spirits in the middle-grade virtual world than in the lower-grade virtual world. Small groups of Yin spirits are constantly encountered along the way. Cheng Ling was about to kill him, but was killed by Qingya. Stopped.
Just listen to her say: "Brother Cheng, these ghosts are also helpful to us, don't kill them in a hurry."
While Cheng Ling was wondering, the two women stepped forward, clasped their hands together, and murmured unknown spells. Soon, a three-inch-long layer of Buddha's light emitted from their bodies. Those Yin spirits threw themselves on the Buddha's light and kept making "squeaking" sounds. The aura on their bodies gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely.
This wave of more than a dozen Yin spirits all died in less than an hour. Looking at the two women, the Buddha's light that originally covered them increased from three inches to four inches.
"What's going on?" Cheng Ling wondered.
Qingya smiled and explained: "Brother Cheng, you are not a disciple of Buddhism, so naturally you don't know the wonderful functions of Yin spirits. The reason why they are called evil spirits is because Yin spirits are generated by gathering the Yin energy of heaven and earth. Buddhist and Taoist monks transform these Yin spirits. The spirit can enhance the cultivation of Buddhism and achieve enlightenment through it.”
"Actually, strictly speaking, Brother Cheng, you can also practice Buddhism and Taoism."
"Why?"
"Do you still remember the sword code?"
"You said there are records of practicing Buddhist and Taoist techniques in the sword canon?"
Qingya smiled and said: "Do you still remember these words: What is the reason for this auspiciousness, the appearance of supernatural power, the magnified light... From Abi Prison, up to the top, in all worlds, the six paths All sentient beings...the tendencies of life and death, the karma of good and evil, the retribution of good and bad deeds, all can be seen here..."
She spoke very softly and slowly, as if she was afraid that others would hear her. Seeing Cheng Ling's confused face, she explained: "How do causes and conditions arise? Auspiciousness exists in this world. External feelings cannot invade, and internal confusion cannot be accumulated. The soul Not self-possessed... just like flesh and blood, sitting cross-legged on a thick mattress, with soft tissue coming in and out of the nose, flowing into the bottom of the sea, gradually turning into a cloudy sky, and the bones are more connected to the marrow..."
With Cheng Ling's understanding, he quickly woke up. In the past, he studied the sword canon and studied it with the Taoist cultivation method. Now Qing Yayi explained, why can't he use the Buddhist interpretation to practice? It's just that he
I know very little about Buddhist scriptures, and it is difficult to thoroughly understand the specific cultivation methods in a short time.
But he knew that Qingya had already committed a huge taboo in explaining this passage, so he immediately stopped and said: "Thank you Qingya, the evil spirit ahead has been eliminated, let's hurry up as soon as possible!"
Qing Ya nodded, said no more at the moment, and continued forward with Cheng Ling.
After walking like this for a long time, the three of them entered a canyon area. There were more Yin spirits inside, and they had to slow down. The two women, Qingya and Qingyi, had profound Buddhist teachings. They sacrificed the Buddha's light and wielded their long swords to kill them.
Cheng Ling stood aside and observed, seeing a faint layer of Buddha's light filling the long swords of the two women. She was surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that Buddhism could be used to bless swordsmanship. He never made a move, and only occasionally gave instructions to the two of them to kill the enemy, such as how to find the Yin spirit's flaws faster, how to connect the sword moves, how to simplify the complicated moves...
Under his guidance, the two women's efficiency in killing Yin spirits has been greatly improved, and they feel that their sword skills have become more proficient and more powerful.
After fighting for an hour, the scene ahead changed. The mountain walls on both sides of the canyon extended in arcs to both sides, making a big circle, and the surroundings shrouded the surroundings. There is a layer of fog that cannot be swept away by spiritual consciousness. What is terrifying is that there are hundreds of thousands of Yin spirits entrenched in that large circle, so dense that the edges cannot be seen.
Qingyi was scared and couldn't help but ask: "Senior sister, what should I do with so many Yin spirits?"
Qing Ya was also horrified by what she saw. She turned around and asked Cheng Ling: "Brother Cheng, why don't we leave first?"
Cheng Ling smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. There are so many Yin spirits who can just hone your swordsmanship and cultivation. Don't worry, just go ahead."
The two women glanced at him suspiciously and saw his nonchalant expression. Thinking about it, even King Garuda was defeated by him, so there must not be a big problem.
Gathering up the courage, the Buddha's light enveloped five inches of his body, he drew his long sword, and slowly killed towards the Yin Lingdui. At first, the two women were cautious and only attacked the Yin spirits on the outside. But soon, the Yin spirits inside were also alerted and started to attack them one after another.
The expressions of the two women changed and they looked at Cheng Ling again, only to see that the old man was there and had no intention of taking action.
Qing Ya secretly hated her, gritted her silver teeth and said, "Junior sister, let's move closer to the mountain wall."
Qingyi agreed, drew out both swords, and quickly rushed to the edge of the mountain wall.
Cheng Ling nodded secretly. The two girls were quite smart and knew not to be surrounded by enemies on all sides. With their backs against the mountain wall, they would face far fewer evil spirits.
After killing for a while, the two women gradually became familiar with each other. Qingya's heart moved and she said, "Junior sister, you resist first."
Qingyi agreed, took a step forward, and used the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Technique to attack fiercely, blocking the Yin spirits coming from the three directions on the left and right. Qingya clasped her hands together, the Buddha's light on her body had risen to six inches, and murmured a mantra in her mouth.
In this way, the two of them were more efficient. The muttering sound constantly weakened the aura of the Yin spirits, making their attacks sluggish, making it easier for Qingyi to kill them.
After touching it for about an hour, the Buddha's light on Qingya's body rose to eight inches, but her face became paler. After reciting the last long series of incantations, she said to Qingyi: "Junior sister, it's your turn."
Qingyi agreed and retreated. Just like Qingya, she gave up the attack and used spells to attack the Yin spirits. Qingya took a step forward and used Qingyi's power to kill the Yin spirits that rushed within ten feet.
