Teng Shangyun returned to Huanhu Mountain, took out the defected disciple of Qi Fanguan from the dungeon, interrogated him personally, entertained him with wine and meat, and then sent him back to the dungeon to rest. He was a little undecided, so he called his disciple Xiao Yazhi to discuss it all night long, guessing that Shen Yuanqiong had deliberately leaked the news. He just didn't know what the meaning of this move was. Could it be just to plot against Mu Yuanxiong? Xiao Yazhi couldn't bear it when she saw that her master had become the "acting master" and was working hard at night, with a few more gray hairs. She took the initiative to go to Qifan Temple to meet Master Shen Guanzhu and find out what he had to say.
Teng Shangyun glanced at his disciple with a complicated expression. The "Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique" was like a thorn stuck in his throat, and his situation was like a wild horse running wildly towards an out-of-control cliff. This time the imperial court issued an order to wipe out the demon clan. The Taoist sect was the first to respond with great momentum, but the Buddhist sect deliberately slowed down, obviously to conserve its strength. There is no airtight wall in the world. What will happen once they hear about the "Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique" You can understand the movement with your toes. He sighed and said: "Knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, even if you know that Shen Yuanqiong has bad intentions, what can you do to him? Qi Fanguan finally returned to the Taoist lineage, so it's not necessarily necessary to push him out! Or! It’s better to be a little confused..."
Xiao Yazhi said: "Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, you have to understand it first before you can continue to pretend, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later. Over at Qifan Temple... I feel that Lord Shen Guan has a big plan, so instead of guessing, It's better to make things clear and it won't do any harm to him if the Three Saints Sect joins."
Teng Shangyun thought about it for a moment and then made a decisive decision: "Okay, you go to Qifan Temple, and ask by the way, and exchange a copy of the 'Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique' from him."
, I can’t figure out the price of the bones. "
Xiao Yazhi subconsciously agreed, and then came back to her senses. She stared at the Master blankly, her lips squirmed slightly, but she stopped talking. She knew that this trip was a heavy responsibility. Dealing with Shen Yuanqiong was like seeking the skin of a tiger. The position of the leader of the Three Saint Sect's Taoist sect was already in jeopardy. If something went wrong and the master made a misjudgment, it would be the last thing that broke the camel's back. straw. She was thinking a lot and couldn't help but lower her voice and said: "Master, this is a big gamble. Guanzhu Shen is a pirate ship. It's easy to get in, but it's difficult to get out!"
Teng Shangyun had already thought it through and nodded: "It doesn't matter if it's a pirate ship or not. It doesn't matter if it can't get on or off. As long as the ship is strong enough, Elder Hu has risked his life to test it for us. Disciple, only Victorious justice is the real justice!" He sighed a little, and while persuading Xiao Yazhi, he seemed to be trying to convince himself.
Everything was ready, and just before Xiao Yazhi left, another news came to Huanhu Mountain. The Buddhist Bald Donkey watched for many days, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore. Xia Tu Buddhism is headed by the four temples of Longxiang, Jiedi, Lingtai and Grottoes. There are many monks and soldiers, and there are many masters. This time the four temples join forces to eliminate the monsters. It happens that the old strength of the Taoist gate has been exhausted and the new strength has not been regenerated. They take over the offensive and the demons The clan suffered a devastating disaster and suffered heavy casualties.
One wave after another, chaos arose in Xia, and Teng Shangyun could not understand it. However, Buddhism was compassionate and all living beings were equal. The monks and soldiers killed monsters, buried the corpses on the spot, and saved the souls of the dead. Except for a few magic weapons, they did not take any of them. , this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Daomen. The Three Saints Sect reacted the fastest, and their disciples came out in droves to look for
In the place where Buddhist corpses are buried, the bones are secretly dug up, put into bags and sent back to Huanhu Mountain. The bones that are suitable for use are selected, collected and hoarded, and the rare goods can be used for living. The Taoist sects also came to their senses and joined in picking up the leaks one after another. Some were quick and some were slow. Although there was some friction with each other, in the end they took the overall situation into consideration and did not cause civil strife.
Xiao Yazhi was Teng Shangyun's right-hand man. The incident happened suddenly and he couldn't escape for a while. He was delayed for several days before embarking on his journey and hurried to Qifan Temple. Qifan Temple is a rare piece of pure land. It is calm and calm for a hundred miles, monsters have disappeared, Buddhism and Taoism have retreated, and it is unbelievably peaceful. The long ringing of the bell reached her ears, and Xiao Yazhi's chaotic mood suddenly calmed down. A thought broke into her mind. The world is so chaotic, all the mechanisms are exhausted, and she is exhausted. It is better to hide here and practice peacefully. Maybe she can succeed. A golden fairy comes.
She took a deep breath and walked towards the mountain gate.
Ji Danqing's lesson was fresh in her memory. Xiao Yazhi called her by name and waited for a moment. Tan Yuzi welcomed her into the temple and exchanged a few words with her along the way. She was not an eloquent person, and Xiao Yazhi was too lazy to speak. The two of them All fell silent. Qifan Temple has been renovated inside and outside. The craftsmen of all sizes have paid their wages and returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. The surroundings are empty and a bit deserted.
Birds flew across the sky, and clouds flowed like the sea, curling in the wind.
Tan Yuzi stopped and Xiao Yazhi stepped into Chengxin Hall alone. The sun shone in through the window edge, and the green bricks were mottled, one bright and the other dark. Shen Yuanqiong invited her to sit down. Shui Maer offered the tea soup and stepped back with his hands down. Xiao Yazhi said "nurturing" and slowly tasted the tea soup, thinking about it in her heart. words. The tea is carefully selected by Kaiyuan Zong, and the water is from the mountains.
Spring water, Xiao Yazhi was born in the Three Saints Sect. Although she is not particular about it on weekdays, she also knows that this is a rare and good tea. The tea was delicious, but the words were difficult to talk about. After thinking about it, she made up her mind and said truthfully: "The temple master clearly knows that this visit is actually for the 'Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique.'"
Shen Yuanqiong was not surprised and said: "That's easy to say."
Hearing the word "easy to talk", Xiao Yazhi's heart trembled slightly and she couldn't help but look up, only to see his eyes as deep as the sea. The old god was there, as if everything was under control. She was a little unwilling and tried to say: "There was an outer disciple in the temple who defected and was taken in by the Three Saints Sect. Therefore, he learned about this soul refining technique. Elder Mu of the Kaiyuan Sect did not hesitate to tell it and was willing to make it public. I don't know the master of the temple. ...How do you deal with the traitor who is trying to steal everything?"
Shen Yuanqiong said: "It's hard to recover from the flood, so let him stay in the Sansheng Sect to retire."
Xiao Yazhi's heart was as clear as a mirror, and she really leaked the news on purpose. Otherwise, with his vengeful character, how could he be open to the public? She bit her lip and simply spoke openly, saying: "Ten days ago, Elder Mu made an offer in public, exchanging five hundred bones for a copy of the Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique. I couldn't get this much together in a hurry. I don't know if Guanzhu Shen is willing to sell it. Is it easy to negotiate anything other than bones and bones?”
To practice the "Soul Refining Technique", you need to refine the remaining Taoist methods in the bones and exchange them for spiritual methods. It is like drawing fuel from the bottom of a cauldron. There is no fuel to burn, and an empty cauldron is useless. Everyone knows this truth. Taoist sects are late. This is the reason why he has not agreed to Mu Yuanxiong for a long time. Teng Shangyun is determined to master the "Soul Refining Technique". He would rather be manipulated by Shen Yuanqiong than bow to Mu Yuanxiong. Buddhism will know the inside story at any time.
At the end of the world, he must be the first to practice "Soul Refining Technique" in order to turn the tide and keep the big tree of the Three Saints Sect from falling.
After one drop and ten steps, everything was already expected. Shen Yuanqiong said: "Qifan Temple is full of wastes waiting to be revitalized. Taoist friend Xiao entered my temple as an elder. You can have a glimpse of this 'Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique'. The Sansheng Sect is where Elder Xiao was born, so we can communicate with each other, so please do as you please!"
Xiao Yazhi's heart skipped a beat. She never expected that Guanzhu Shen would actually have her own idea.
