After being poured into the Qi machine, the fragments of the Book of Earth glowed with a turbid light. The light flowed like water, igniting one mantra after another.

Xu Qian and Luo Yuheng jumped onto the stone plate in tacit understanding. The next moment, the turbid light expanded silently, swallowing the two of them, and disappeared into the stone chamber with them.

Once again in a pure and lightless environment, Xu Qi'an's whole body tensed up quietly, as if facing a formidable enemy. He couldn't help but think of the last time he "died" silently.

I remembered the terrifying pressure that Pei Mo couldn't resist.

At this time, he felt his arm being lightly hit by a whisk, and Luo Yuheng's voice sounded in his ears: "Follow me!"

The whisk hit him again, as if to indicate that he could follow.

It's too dark to see clearly. If I reach out and grope forward, can I touch my aunt's buttocks? I'll be killed on the spot... He thought as he slowed down

Walk...

The corridor was silent and long. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Xu Qian's heart tightened, preparing for the terrifying sound of breathing and the pressure as heavy as Mount Tai.

However, there was nothing ahead and everything was calm.

Um?

He remained calm and continued walking as Luo Yuheng. After a few minutes, a faint but pure golden light appeared in front of him.

It was here that I "died" last time. Xu Qian muttered inwardly and stopped where he was.

I believe that with Luo Yuheng's skills and cultivation, he doesn't need any unnecessary reminders. If there is any danger, my aunt will be able to handle it.

Besides, this is just a clone of my aunt... Hey, if her clone can't be taken care of, then wouldn't my real body be a pill? Thinking about it, Xu Qian was startled.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw golden light blooming from Luo Yuheng's body, bright but not dazzling, illuminating the darkness around him.

The aunt turned her head, her exquisite and beautiful facial features were like golden statues, and said calmly: "There is nothing abnormal here, there is only one monk."

Nothing unusual?! Xu Qian was stunned again.

What about the terrifying pressure and the terrifying sound of breathing?

With doubts, he and Luo Yuheng leaned towards the golden light that exuded the Buddhist aura.

As they got closer, they saw a spacious secret room in front of them. In the center of the secret room was a stone bed and a bronze alchemy furnace. On the side of the stone bed was a faulty abyss.

On the stone bed, a tall and burly monk sat cross-legged, with a golden, fist-sized bead floating above his head.

He closed his eyes and there was no sign of life.

Master Hengyuan...Xu Qian's mouth felt a sharp pain, causing a tearing pain.

For a moment, all kinds of scenes from Hengyuan's past appeared in his mind, including his embarrassment when he asked himself for money, and his seriousness when he took care of the widowed and lonely people in the Yangsheng Hall...

Luo Yuheng stared at the fist-sized bead for a moment and said: "The relic is the fruit of the second-grade Arhat."

After a pause, he looked at Xu Qian: "He just faked his death."

It's just a fake death... Xu Qian's endless sorrow suddenly stopped. He exhaled with relief and asked instead:

"The relic is an Arhat, but Hengyuan cannot be a second-grade master."

Unless Hengyuan is a hidden second-level Buddhist boss, but this is obviously impossible.

Luo Yuheng muttered:

"Five hundred years ago, Buddhism flourished in the Central Plains. It must have been left by eminent monks from that period. As for why he had the relics, he was either the reincarnation of an Arhat, or he had the chance to obtain the relics."

Xu Qian frowned: "I heard that Arhat is immortal."

After saying that, I cursed in my heart, the Buddhist practice system is much more stable than your Taoist sect, and the three sects of your Taoist sect are completely wrong.

Luo Yuheng glanced at him sideways and said calmly:

"In the Buddhist Zen master system, the fourth-grade ascetic is the foundation. Ascetics must make great wishes. The greater the great wish, the higher the attainment status.

"Based on the different fruition status, there is a distinction between Arhat and Bodhisattva. Once the fruition status is condensed, it cannot be changed. In other words, Arhat will always be Arhat and has no chance of being a first-grade Bodhisattva.

"So, there is a method of reincarnation and recultivation. If an Arhat wants to achieve the first level, he must be reincarnated and recultivate and give up everything in this life. Every time an Arhat reincarnates, Buddhism will do its best to find it, and then implant the relics of his previous life into his body.

, to protect its path.

"Five hundred years ago, Confucianism promoted the extermination of Buddhism and forced Buddhism to retreat to the Western Regions. This relic may have been left behind from that time. Therefore, this monk may have obtained the relic by chance and is not necessarily the reincarnation of the Arhat."

This is Hengyuan’s secret, and this is why Taoist Priest Jin Lian handed him the fragment of the Book of the Earth... Regardless of whether Hengyuan is the reincarnation of Arhat, or he gets the relic by chance, his future achievements will definitely not be the same.

Low.........the relic has a spirit and protected Master Hengyuan from crisis? Xu Qian suddenly realized.

At the same time, he thought of the time when Du'e Arhat called him the Son of Buddha.

Did Duer suspect that he was the reincarnation of a certain Arhat?

While his thoughts were racing, Luo Yuheng stretched out his finger and lightly touched the relic.

She uses Taoist secrets to awaken the soul, which is not offensive.

The relics gently rippled with a soft halo.

A few seconds later, Xu Qian heard the dead heart in Hengyuan's chest beating again and starting to supply blood. After another ten seconds, the great monk's eyelids opened with trembling.

"Master Xu? Imperial Master?"

After looking around blankly, Hengyuan saw Xu Qi'an and Luo Yuheng, who was glowing with bright golden light.

"Master, you are so lucky!" Xu Qian laughed.

Just as Hengyuan was about to speak, he was suddenly startled. He felt like a cat with a hairy Taoist priest. He suddenly looked in the direction of the bronze alchemy furnace, but there was no one there.

The raised "cat hair" slowly subsided, Hengyuan exhaled gently, and his brows and eyes became much more relaxed.

Hengyuan's reaction made Xu Qian a little horrified. He spoke for a moment and briefly explained how he discovered the secret passage and how he sought help from the Imperial Master.

Then asked: "What happened to you here?"

It wasn't until this moment, after listening to Xu Qian's description and verifying the details, that Hengyuan believed that the two people in front of him were real.

He immediately swallowed the relic, clasped his hands together, and said softly: "That day, after I was taken away by King Huai's spies, they sent me here through the teleportation array of Pingyuan Bofu. Here, here...

.....”

At this point, he showed an extremely frightened expression: "There is an evil thing living here."

Evil thing?!

Xu Qian's face changed slightly, the muscles on his back were twisted one by one, and the hairs on his hair stood on end.

"He wanted to eat me, but he failed because of the relic. But the relic couldn't do anything to him, and even, sooner or later, it would be refined by him. In order to fight against him, I fell into deathly silence and pushed with all my strength.

Relics." Hengyuan looked bitter and full of hatred.

"What does he look like?" Xu Qian asked quickly.

"He gave me the feeling that he was very similar to the Demon Dao of the Earth Sect. His eyes were full of malice, as if just one look would lead him to fall with him. Cruelty, greed, lust... all kinds of evil thoughts breed.

This is also the reason why I chose to enter the "Nirvana" state. If not, I would not be able to maintain my nature in the confrontation with him." Heng Yuan said with lingering fear.

Sure enough, it was another avatar of the Earth Sect Taoist leader! Xu Qian subconsciously looked at Luo Yuheng, and saw that she was also looking at him, both of them looked surprised.

"What about others?"

Xu Qian scanned the stone chamber and found an unusual place. The secret chamber was closed and there was no passage to the ground.

He immediately looked towards the abyss on the right side of the stone bed, suspecting that the guy was at the bottom of the abyss.

Hengyuan frowned: "Not long ago, I felt that the pressure outside suddenly disappeared..."

He also set his sights on the abyss.

Luo Yuheng flew up lightly and fell into the abyss.

For about five minutes, Luo Yuheng came up with golden light, and for the first time, Xu Qi'an saw extreme anger in her eyes and her expression.

"National Master?" he called tentatively.

"It's safe down there." Luo Yuheng said expressionlessly.

What is there under the abyss that makes her look so ugly? Xu Qian was confused and asked her opinion: "I want to go down and have a look."

Luo Yuheng's delicate and engraved lips raised a sneer: "It's up to you."

Xu Qian jumped into the abyss and performed a free fall. Ten seconds later, there was a loud bang and he hit himself at the bottom of the abyss.

Wu Fu is really vulgar, not cool at all... He cursed in his heart, and then he heard a loud "boom" from behind him, and Hengyuan also knocked himself down.

The monks are equally vulgar! Xu Qian added inwardly.

Hengyuan, who didn't know that he was being ridiculed by Master Xu, opened his mouth and spit out the relic. The soft and solemn golden light broke through the darkness, allowing the two of them to see clearly the scene underground.

Xu Qian's expression suddenly solidified.

As far as the eye can see, there are corpses everywhere, skulls, ribs, leg bones, hand bones... They are piled up into four words: mountains of bones.

It is difficult to estimate how many people have died here. Over the years, numerous bones have been piled up.

These are the people that Uncle Ping Yuan brought from the capital and its surroundings in the past forty years.

There are men, women, and even children.

They were sent underground to the palace, above the dragon veins, where they were slaughtered and their lives were taken away for some reason.
