The next morning, the energy of the singing, dancing and feasting had not yet faded. The disciples rarely relaxed for a while, instead of practicing as diligently as before. They took advantage of the warm winter sun to talk and laugh, and became warm to each other. After finishing his homework, Li Qixian woke up from trance and breathed a long sigh of relief. He Xi'er served her a little rice and told her a few interesting stories about her classmates. Qifan Temple had always been a little deserted, but after yesterday's welcome party, it became a little more lively. There were still some people who were brave enough to miss those enchanting fox concubines and inquire about them. Where do they live. She was also afraid that Li Qixian would be overly concerned, so she added an extra sentence: This is what a sect should look like!
Those fox concubines were raised by the master in the temple, and Li Qixian didn't think it was inappropriate. Before, Shiniang, Juxian, Xiuyun, and Baozhu practiced together. They were not without friendship from the same sect, but they were later deprived of their inner discipleship. Her status was handed over to Jiang Youyi and she was regarded as a dancer's maid. However, the master did not treat them badly. I heard that the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism vigorously suppressed monsters. The wars spread all over the Xia land, causing countless deaths and injuries. They can stay in the temple and live peacefully. This is a blessing gained from previous lives. They should not expect more. .
He Xi'er's interesting stories about her classmates were like a breeze, but Li Qixian didn't take them to heart. She had her own worries. The imprint of "Su Hui" on her body became more and more obvious, and countless scenes that seemed both real and imaginary poured in. The thoughts in her mind made her upset and at a loss. Fortunately, as she practiced the "Kaiyuan Soul Refining Kung Fu" more and more deeply, her soul continued to grow, like a tree rooted in the earth, withstanding the wind and rain. In the past, she might not have been able to Get through it.
However, there are too many disciples practicing the "Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique", and nearly half of the bones they previously hoarded have been consumed. The Taoist sects regard them as the most precious treasures and will not easily trade them, if this continues Sooner or later, there will be a day when everything is empty, and Li Qixian knows this very well. However, Shen Yuanqiong didn't care. From the time he re-established Qifan Temple to today, it was time to take the initiative. He tested the progress of these disciples, selected more than ten people from them, and divided them into two groups. Mainly disciples of the Sheng Sect, and one group mainly composed of disciples from the Luoshen Sect, it was agreed that for half a year, they would be sent out to hunt monsters and collect bones separately.
On the day when the two disciples left Qifan Temple, Yin Chan, the abbot of Lingtai Temple, came to visit and met Shen Yuanqiong in Chengxin Hall.
Yin Chan never went to Huanhu Mountain to watch the ceremony. He studied Buddhism diligently and practiced profoundly. He looked at the master Shen Guan with the "eyes of his mind" and found that he was hidden in a darkness in the past and would also be hidden in the darkness in the future, as if he was covered by something, with a slight intention of spying. , the "eyes of the heart" were struck back by God's will, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and his vision became blurred. This confirmed his earliest guess that this son had an extraordinary origin and was favored by God. Harming him was tantamount to going against heaven and would surely be counterattacked by heaven and earth.
He took a deep breath and started talking about "Spiritual Snake Soul Refining Technique" from Chun Zai Gu Yu Jingzi. He did not hide his confusion and confusion. He asked Shen Guanzhu for advice with a pleasant look. ”, why do we need to derive a “Spirit Snake Soul Refining Technique” for the Snake Clan?
Shen Yuanqiong stared at him silently for a moment and said casually: "Yu Jingzi sent an envoy to ask for advice. The Snake Clan happens to have something that I can use. Everyone can take what they need."
Yin Chan shook his head unconsciously and said, "The Xia Tu Demon Clan is weak, so it won't be a disaster. If the Snake Clan acquires this skill and rises to unify the group of demons, I'm afraid that the lives of all living beings will be ruined and it will harm the good fortune of heaven." "
Shen Yuanqiong said: "Master, the heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. Buddhism also says that 'all living beings are equal.' God has the virtue of favoring life, and it does not only favor the lives of human beings. All things are within it, and there is no distinction between living things." . Besides, the 'Spiritual Snake Soul Refining Technique' can only be practiced by snake demons. If the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism join forces, can't they still control the little snake tribe?"
The equality of all sentient beings means that "all sentient beings can become Buddhas." Not all sentient beings must be treated equally. However, Yin Chan did not entangle the Buddhist principles. He let it go and asked again: "The master's Dharma is magnificent and his knowledge is extraordinary. I am willing to bow down. I wonder if other than the Snake Clan, are there other techniques practiced by the Monster Clan?”
Shen Yuanqiong said: "When I was traveling overseas, I encountered the remains of a demon cultivator on a deserted island. Its original shape was a beautiful python. Through this, I got a glimpse of the mystery of the snake clan's bloodline. It was by chance that we came up with this door. The "Spiritual Snake Soul Refining Technique", outside of the Snake Clan, has no chance for the time being. "
Yin Chan felt relieved after hearing the words. The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism joined forces to suppress the demon cultivators. They have been weak for a long time. Even if there is one more skill, the power of the snake demon clan alone cannot change the overall situation.
With a little effort, Longxiang Temple broke through Chun Zaigu and captured Yu Jingzi. If what the other party said was true, everything was under control and there was no need to worry about the rise of the demon cultivator.
He coughed lightly and got to the point, saying: "I heard that the 'Spirit Snake Soul Refining Technique' was derived from the 'Kaiyuan Soul Refining Technique'. It was created by Elder Mu of the Kaiyuan Sect under the inspiration of the Guanzhu, and the Taoist sects obtained this technique. , is regarded as a guide and is kept secret from others. It can only be obtained by observing from the ordinary world. This is exactly why I came here."
Shen Yuanqiong was not surprised. In fact, from the moment Yin Chan came to Qi Fan Guan, he had guessed that Lingtai Temple had no contact with Qi Fan Guan. Yin Chan must have something to ask for when he paid a personal visit as the abbot. , but he didn't expect that the source of the news could be traced back to Yu Jingzi. Everyone who came was a guest, and business cannot be done without righteousness. He picked up the teapot, filled Yinchan with hot tea soup, and asked, "Master Yinchan came all the way, is it for Lingtai Temple or for Buddhism?"
Yinchan clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, and said truthfully: "To be honest with the Lord, the abbots of the four temples of Longxiang, Jiedi, Lingtai, and Grottoes came together to do this."
Shen Yuanqiong nodded slightly. Although Qifan Guan belonged to the Taoist sect, he had no prejudice against Buddhism. He briefly talked about the conditions given by the various sects. Yin Chan was silent for a long time, obviously unable to answer immediately. Shen Yuanqiong was considerate and said with a smile: "Master, you might as well discuss it carefully after you go back. If you can talk, then talk. If you can't, there is no need to force it. It's just a soul-refining technique. There are endless Buddhist monks and great masters. From 'Spirit Snake' "Soul Refining Kung Fu" is a technique that is suitable for the human race. It is not difficult to think about it. "
Yin Chan glanced at him, wondering what the purpose of this Qifan Temple owner was. He obviously had a rare item to buy, so he raised the price, but then pointed to a rugged path. Was he being sarcastic, or was he confident? It's hard to figure out for a while. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, picked up the tea bowl, raised his white eyebrows and blew in the hot air, tasted the tea soup, and stood up to leave. Shen Yuanqiong did not leave him alone and sent him outside Chengxin Hall. He called Tan Yuzi and led Abbot Yinchan to the mountain gate.
It was almost dusk, the pines were undulating, whistling like the sea, and the Qifan Temple was deserted. Shen Yuanqiong looked at the mountain gate with no joy or fear in his heart. All the nets were cast out, and the big and small fish, which had already been caught, were still there. If you haven't caught the trap yet, you can set up a net to see how good it is after a while.
