Lu Xiuzhu settled in Mount Putuo, helped Shen Qing'an upgrade her spiritual field, met several of her disciples, and examined their character and aptitude.
Shen Qing'an did not shy away from the fact that she and Lu Xiuzhu were confidants. She even told her disciples openly, "After you have cultivated the Golden Elixir and taken over the Putuo Sect, I still want to return to secular life and get married!"
Although there are clear rules and precepts in modern cultivation, whether you are willing to abide by them or not depends on personal choice.
No one forces you to recite Buddha's name, and there is no sect rule that says: "Once you enter Buddhism, it is as deep as the sea." You can leave anytime you want.
As a disciple, you can leave as long as you pay a penalty; as a master of Jindan level, no one can restrain Shen Qing'an! She just didn't want to see the foundation established by her mother and several apprentices destroyed, so she tried her best to support it as long as possible.
If Lu Xiuzhu was cruel and secretly killed all her disciples, maybe Shen Qing'an would be disheartened and would naturally leave Mount Putuo.
Lu Xiuzhu stayed here for a month and felt the unique charm of Shen Qing'an, who was half human and half Buddha. Sometimes she was as gentle as water, wanting to melt into his arms, and sometimes she was majestic, just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple.
If he is not determined, he may not be willing to leave.
A month later, he still said goodbye and returned to Qinghai Lake.
…
Three years later, in 2615.
162's Xuan Ku was promoted to the head of Shaolin Temple!
The status of the chief is second only to the abbot, and his responsibilities can be summarized in two aspects; one is to assist the left abbot, handle temple affairs according to the abbot's instructions, punish the offending monks cited by Vina or Zhike, and supervise all deacons to perform their duties. The second is to set an example for other monks. For example, in the dormitory where you live, you should keep the single tents, clothes and bowls hung neatly, you should not be picky about food, walk calmly, rest on time, go to bed early and get up early, etc.
Xuan Ku's skill reached the ninth level of the Golden Pill, which is the later stage of the Golden Pill. Based on the "Small Wuxiang Kung Fu", he learned the seventy-two Shaolin stunts and secretly practiced the "Giant Spirit Technique". He is tall and powerful. Infinitely, in the huge Shaolin Temple, among the nearly one million disciples, except for Monk Hong Ming, who cannot beat Yuan Ying level, the rest are no match for him!
Moreover, Xuan Ku was proficient in Buddhism, his eloquence was unparalleled, and his level of preaching was far above that of Hong Ming!
Some people say that if Hong Ming had not fallen in love with the abbot, he would have passed the throne to Xuan Ku long ago!
Xuan Ku's secretly married wife, Guan Qie, still runs a shop at the foot of the mountain. In addition to selling Buddhist beads, she also adds monk hats, cassocks, monk shoes, etc., and employs several young girls. The business is getting more and more prosperous.
She used the "dragon silk" provided by the Lu family and made a specially made "dragon silk cassock", each of which sells for millions! Although it is expensive, it has already been worn by the abbot of Shaolin and the heads of the four major academies! Among those "virtuous monks", who doesn't want a magical cassock that is invulnerable to water and fire?
Her son has grown up and is married to a wife, and she even has grandchildren and granddaughters!
Guan Qi is a monk. He practiced Baguazhang in his early years. Later, he practiced the mind method provided by the Lu family. He is now at the seventh level of innateness. In about five years, he will be able to advance to the golden elixir realm.
The Guan family, deep in the northwest border, already has his own Golden Elixir Master, and Mr. Guan has advanced to the Golden Elixir. Lu Xinghuan did everything he promised back then.
For this reason, Guan Qi is very satisfied with his current life.
She occasionally attended Shaolin Temple's Dharma gatherings and saw Xuan Ku Bao Xiang's solemn sermons. She was respected by countless monks. She felt proud in her heart and wanted to yell: "That's my man!"
If Xuan Ku had not used the "Giant Spirit Art", he would still be a handsome monk, just like Wu Hua described in Gu Long's "Chu Liuxiang".
Wuhua has a beautiful appearance and amazing talents. He is a famous figure in Buddhism. He is not only excellent in poetry, lyrics, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, etc., but also has extremely high martial arts. He is known as the "Seven Wonderful Monks".

The reason why Xuan Ku was sent to the Shaolin Temple was originally as an undercover agent. However, due to changes in the situation over the years, the Lu family introduced four Nascent Souls, Guan Sangyue, Yang Zheng, Sun Dazhong and Li Changhu, which completely shocked the Shaolin Temple and those little The sect caused Monk Hongming to cease his activities and did not dare to take any action, so Xuanku did not play the role of an undercover agent.
Lu Xinghuan, the sixth generation ancestor of Xuan Ku, said: "If you want to return to secular life, I will not stop you."
Xuan Ku said: "I am now the leader, and everyone is watching, and I am very beautiful! I don't want to return to the secular world for the time being. It is good for me to stay in Shaolin Temple. I can help the Lu family at a critical moment."
So Lu Xinghuan asked him to continue being a monk. It’s all about cultivation anyway, so where can’t we practice?
Although Xuan Ku was a monk in the Shaolin Temple, he still retained his title and meritorious service in Fuhu Pavilion. When he left Fuhu Pavilion, he was a second-level police supervisor, equivalent to the main department level! If he returns to Fuhu Pavilion one day, he can take over the position of deputy pavilion master. If he survives for one more period, he can take over the position of pavilion master!

Lu You, who was in the Yuaniao Realm, was still in Chentangguan and had not yet waited for Nezha's birth. He also didn't find the Qiankun Bow and Sky-shattering Arrow, so he didn't know if they existed.
However, it is still beneficial for him to stay in Chentangguan.
Chentangguan guards the outlet of Jiuwan River, with the vast sea on its side. Dragons often appear here. They are not ordinary dragons, but dragons that have been practicing for I don’t know how many years. From time to time, they come to the mouth of Jiuwan River on full moon nights, spit out dragon beads, roll up and down, and absorb the moonlight. .
Lu You watched by the river for a long time and found that the dragon beads were very extraordinary and seemed to be somewhat similar to the "Wanxiang Yingdan" harvested in Jiuyi Mountain before.
So, taking advantage of the full moon night, he used his magical power to flash past and snatched away the three-headed dragon's dragon ball!
Those dragons lost their dragon balls and became furious! Stir the sea water and flow back into Jiuwan River! The river rose to several feet high and spread to both sides!
Lu You did not go to fight with the dragon, but left Chentangguan and fled eastward.
He went to Penglai Island.
It is said that the leader of the Tongtian cult opened a Dharma lineage dojo in Biyou Palace on Penglai Island and founded the Jie sect.
He wanted to see what was going on on the island.
Legend has it that the pavilions and pavilions on Penglai Island are all made of gold, silver, pearls and jade. Pure white and holy birds and animals live there. The trees are covered with gold and silver jewels. The fruits that grow are so sweet that people can live forever if they eat them. There are countless immortals living there, all of whom can fly to the sky and escape to the earth.
The Penglai Island at this time was not the Penglai of later generations. Because the climate was cold and the sea level dropped by 200 meters, the continental shelf extended eastward to the East China Sea Trough, and further east was the Kagoshima of later generations.
Lu You flew in the air and flew around the sea, but could not find the magnificent Biyou Palace.
He did find a lot of spiritual veins on the island, and compressed the spiritual veins into spirit gathering beads and put them away.
There are also some rare spiritual herbs on the island, such as Ganoderma lucidum that has grown for thousands of years, and there are still quite a lot of them.
Lu You released his spiritual consciousness, covering five thousand miles of land.
When his consciousness swept over it, some local monks were alarmed.
Some of the monks looked strange and did not look human.
Lu You seemed to have seen the true forms of Jinguangxian, Lingyaxian, Wuyunxian, Qiushouxian, and Long-eared Dingguangxian.
Jin Guangxian had golden fur and was adopted as a mount by Taoist Cihang, and was later renamed Jinmaohou.
The Tooth Fairy is a white elephant.
The body of Wu Yunxian is a big fish.
Long-eared Dingguangxian is a rabbit trained to become a spirit.
The Qiushou Immortal was originally a green lion, which was defeated by Manjusri and later became a mount.
Lu You thought to himself: "It turns out that the so-called Jiejiao Immortals are all monsters turned into spirits! These guys come from the Japanese sea and are different from the humans in Middle Earth. Could it be said that the Conferring God War represents the invasion of foreign races?"
Lu You did not kill these alien "fairies", but instead collected local specialties, harvested spirit beads, spiritual plants and the essence of mountains and rivers, and then left Penglai Island and returned to China.
He thought to himself: "Perhaps I came too early, the leader of Tongtian Cult has not yet come to the world."
