The senior monks looked at each other, and their eyes turned cold.
As they debated, their impressions of the Moonlight Bodhisattva changed.
As expected, this man lived up to his reputation. He had a profound understanding of the meaning of Buddhist scriptures, had a high level of authority, and was able to justify his theory.
They were ready to lose this debate and surrender the classics.
Since you lose, you are not qualified to let the other party take off the title of 'Bodhisattva'.
Unexpectedly, the situation has changed!
"Is this your true purpose?"
Venerable Chengzhen stared at Moonlight Bodhisattva, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
When they learned that something happened to the temple, their first reaction was the conspiracy of Moonlight Bodhisattva.
Moonlight Bodhisattva came out from the depths of the Western Desert with a mysterious origin. After making a name for himself in the Xuelian Mountains and the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdom, he approached the vast sea step by step.
The whole world is paying attention.
During this process, Moonlight Bodhisattva went around looking for eminent monks to debate the scriptures. His purpose was pure and never changed. His only requirement was that if the other party lost, he would give him the scriptures collected in the Sutra Pavilion.
There were never any bad intentions.
Although Moonlight Bodhisattva made Buddhism lose face, Buddhism became less wary of him.
Because of this, Zhulan Temple sent two venerables and masters from other temples to see how powerful this Moonlight Bodhisattva was.
In the world of immortality, conspiracies that span hundreds or even hundreds of years are common. Moonlight Bodhisattva patiently laid out the plan and transferred them out of the temple, which can be completely explained.
To this day, I can’t help but see you!
Moonlight Bodhisattva has a mysterious origin.
The thief who sneaked into Zhulan Temple was also a mysterious master of unknown origin.
All kinds of coincidences make it difficult not to make people suspicious.
In the blink of an eye, the ring around Venerable Guanhui's waist also shattered, and the disciples in the temple finally had time to activate the communication circle and send a brief message.
This news made the two venerables take a breath of cold air.
In a short period of time, the most precious treasure in the temple was stolen, and the spiritual formation protecting the temple was destroyed. Venerable Chengyuan used the two-injury secret technique, but was unable to stop the thieves.
‘Click!’
The veins in Venerable Chengzhen's forehead throbbed, he crushed the beads, and sawdust fell from his fingers.
'Brush! Brush!'
The silhouettes of the monks flashed and surrounded Moonlight Bodhisattva.
The young monk was feeling dizzy just now. He had long been displeased with Moonlight Bodhisattva. After receiving the signal, his spirits were shaken and he quickly formed a battle formation.
If you kill someone by mistake, don’t let it go!
It is too late to return to Zhulan Temple now. If Moonlight Bodhisattva is behind the scenes, there is still a chance of a comeback if this person is captured.
Moonlight Bodhisattva noticed something strange, stopped laughing, and raised his head slightly under the bamboo hat.
With Moonlight Bodhisattva's mind, from Venerable Chengzhen's tone of voice and the behavior of the monks, we can guess some of the reasons without knowing what happened.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Being surrounded by monks, Moonlight Bodhisattva showed no fear and uttered sarcastic words.
Even though they are so close, Moonlight Bodhisattva's voice still has an ethereal feel, making it difficult to tell whether it is male or female. However, it is in line with the legend that Bodhisattva has no male or female and has thousands of dharma and appearances.
"The demon is so arrogant that he still won't be decapitated!"
Venerable Chengzhen shouted angrily.
First, Moonlight Bodhisattva is characterized as a demon with ulterior motives.
"The demon consecrates the head!"
All the monks lowered their eyebrows and shouted in unison.
The sound is like a lion's roar, the atmosphere is chilling, and it has the power to shock the mind.
In an instant, the figures of all the monks were moving together, so fast that it was like an illusion and lightning. The naked eye could no longer tell whether there was one monk or thousands of monks under the Bodhi tree.
Only the Moonlight Bodhisattva was alone, surrounded and airtight, unable to escape even with his wings.
The next moment, an astonishing scene appeared. Moonlight Bodhisattva was sitting cross-legged on the spot. No movement could be seen from him, and he suddenly disappeared.
In the middle of the formation formed by the monks, he disappeared into thin air.
Venerable Chengzhen knew that Moonlight Bodhisattva must have a way to escape, and had already prepared various magical treasures to prevent him from escaping, but unexpectedly nothing was used.
I can't sense at all what means Moonlight Bodhisattva used to escape.
"You are not overestimating your own abilities! How many of you want to keep this Bodhisattva!"
Void remembered the mocking shouts, which reached the ears of the monks.
All the venerables reacted very quickly. After hearing the sound, they rushed high into the sky and dispersed in all directions. However, they saw only cloudless sky and yellow sand everywhere. The Moonlight Bodhisattva had long since disappeared.
The nobles looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
After searching carefully to no avail, he had to lead the monks back to the temple in despair.
Wait for the monks to leave.
Moonlight Bodhisattva stepped out from the shadow of the Bodhi tree and looked in the direction of the seven stars in the vast sea.
There was a humming sound coming from inside the bamboo hat, which sounded annoyed.
"If you dare to use this Bodhisattva as a pawn to ruin my good deeds, be careful not to let me catch you!"
Before he finished speaking, Moonlight Bodhisattva stepped into the sea of sand, followed the monks secretly, and walked towards the seven stars in the vast sea. His footsteps seemed slow but were fast, and he disappeared among the sand dunes in an instant.
…
Zhulan Temple.
Qin Sang and Liuli finally rushed out of the temple-protecting spiritual formation. They were no longer as restrained as before, and they no longer had to worry about being caught in a trap.
His eyes quickly scanned around.
In addition to Venerable Kongyu, there are several light spots in the distance flying towards here. Venerable Yuanying from other temples are also arriving soon.
"Walk!"
Qin Sang drank low.
Liuli nodded, and with a move of her jade hand, she put away the four-horse snake seal. Regardless of anything else, her figure plummeted, and with a few flickers, she merged into the vast sea of people and disappeared into the city.
This was Qin Sang and Liuli's planned plan.
Liuli was not good at escaping, and the royal envoy's spirit treasures were consumed a lot, so Qin Sang, the queen, did his duty.
Of course, before escaping, Liuli did not forget to use the remaining power of the tan snake to pounce on Master Kongyu.
Seeing the power of the Lingbao, Venerable Kongyu was horrified, and his reaction was not slow. He reversed the alms bowl in his hand, flipped it upside down to protect his body, and flew back continuously.
Venerable Kongyu is not without the power to fight back.
He had a pair of iron shackles secretly clasped in his other hand, his sleeves and robes were trembling slightly, and he was about to throw it at Liuli when he suddenly heard the urgent call of Lord Chengyuan and quickly turned around and aimed at Qin Sang.
The iron shackles seemed extremely heavy and split into two halves with a 'dang' sound. Between the two iron shackles, the chain formed by the light had a strong binding force.
Like thunder, it hit Qin Sang.
Looking at this posture, it was clear that he wanted to smash Qin Sang into a pulp instead of taking someone else.
It's a pity that the incarnation outside the body has been staring at Venerable Kongyu.
As soon as the iron shackles were released, the Jinchen Sword roared towards him, forcing Venerable Kongyu to retreat further and no longer able to pose a threat to Qin Sang. At the same time, the void between Qin Sang and Venerable Kongyu erupted with a dazzling blue light, forming a side
Thick ice wall.
'boom!'
A large hole was opened in the ice wall, and ice chips flew everywhere.
The iron shackles were heavy and heavy, but they were also hindered by it. The swing range of the 'chain' in the middle became obviously sluggish, and the binding force was greatly weakened.
Qin Sang escaped from the light and easily got rid of the iron shackles. Then he felt a strong wind coming from behind him and knew that it was Lord Chengyuan who was chasing him.
'call!'
The demonic fire gathered up, turned into a flame dragon, and struck a blow with the sword. Without the blessing of the sword, the power of the sword was greatly reduced, and it could not break the demonic fire.
The incarnation outside the body forced Master Kongyu to retreat, so he put away his sword and returned. The second Nascent Soul merged into the main body, and the physical body escaped into the corpse bag.
Qin Sanglang laughed and flew away.
The two venerables chased him for a while, but unfortunately they were not as fast as others. They watched Qin Sang escape.
At this time, other reinforcements arrived, but to no avail.
…
Deep in the desert.
Far from the oasis.
On an inconspicuous Gobi, several stone mountains are connected together, barely forming a mountain range, running across the Gobi. The mountains are bare, with no trace of green in sight, and they blend perfectly into the desert.
The only source of life is probably some scattered Bodhi trees on the Gobi. In late autumn, the leaves are yellow and falling, and everything is desolate.
After getting rid of his pursuers, Qin Sang flew here without stopping.
There is a secret cave they opened before, and they agreed to meet here. Not long after they settled down, a figure appeared in the desert, it was Liuli.
The two looked at each other, both of them were unscathed, showing relaxed smiles.
Qin Sang suppressed her smile and said in a deep voice: "The relic has changed and must be refined now..."
Liuli nodded, "I will protect you."
Close the cave.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged on the ground and had time to examine the relic carefully.
That force is almost unstoppable.
He opened his palms, and the relics shone brightly, forming circles of colorful halos, really like the light of Buddha, illuminating the cave.
The halo rises and falls, like breathing.
Qin Sang stared for a moment, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully activated his consciousness to sense the energy inside the relic.
As soon as they made contact, Qin Sang frowned.
What he sensed from it was not only violent energy, but also some inexplicable chaotic thoughts, as if he had entered the heart of a madman, full of evil thoughts.
After a little hesitation, Qin Sang carefully let go of the control, and a burst of energy rushed into his body. Then Qin Sang felt a tearing pain from the Nascent Soul.
Not only that, he also had auditory hallucinations in his ears, and the remaining demonic thoughts kept attacking his soul.
Naturally, these evil thoughts could not affect Qin Sang. He concentrated on stabilizing the Nascent Soul and felt the pain coming in waves.
This feeling is somewhat similar to that in the body bath, but it is completely different. Only the Nascent Soul is experiencing the impact, and the physical body and meridians are not affected.
What the body washing pool improves is the talent of absorbing spiritual energy. To use a metaphor to describe it, it improves the structure of the Nascent Soul.
Now, after the Nascent Soul has been integrated into this energy, it has become more solid than before. It has been refined in pain, which reminds Qin Sang of the Bodhi Initiation in the Buddhist scriptures. This state is obviously of great benefit to future breakthroughs.
At this point, Qin Sang probably understood the whole story.
This energy from the strange treasure was both an opportunity and a danger, and it must have been more violent than it is now. With the help of this treasure, Venerable Hong Yi broke through, but failed to withstand the double impact of Yuanying and Yuanshen, and fell on the spot.
When he was dying, Venerable Hongyi used some unknown method to integrate the essence of his body into the rare treasure and left it to future generations. Unfortunately, he was unable to leave any information and the treasure became dusty.
Because of this incident, with Venerable Hongyi's 'seal' as a buffer, Xiaoxiangzi judged that the danger for future generations to refine the relics would be greatly reduced.
However, the 'seal' has been worn away by time, and now the relic is on the verge of collapse and has become dangerous again.
Of course, it will definitely not be comparable to the original one, because they can provide some guidance before the 'seal' completely disappears.
"Hurry up and seal the cave and refine this treasure together."
Qin Sang shouted and concentrated on stabilizing the Nascent Soul.
Liuli was slightly startled, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual outside the cave, she sat cross-legged in front of Qin Sang, raised her jade hand, and touched the relic.
When the two people's consciousnesses came into contact, Liuli immediately understood the whole story. Following Qin Sang's instructions, he took over part of the seal and guided an energy into his body.
The next moment, Liuli groaned and her body trembled.
She did not have the protection of the Jade Buddha, nor did she experience the baptism in the body washing pool like Qin Sang. She faced double shock and almost collapsed on the spot under the severe pain. Fortunately, she survived with her strong will.
Inside the cave.
Qin Sang and Liu Li held their palms against each other, wrapped in a halo, and seemed to have passed peacefully.
In fact, their bodies are constantly being hit by stormy waves.
After a stick of incense.
Liuli reached the limit first and suddenly retracted her palm.
After calming down her rapid breathing, she slowly opened her eyes, which were a little dazed and had not yet woken up from the influence of the relic.
The remaining evil thoughts in the relic were not completely crazy, but some information and fragments flooded into their minds. They seemed to have become another person, almost immersed in each other's world.
Fortunately, these messages were intermittent and Liuli could still maintain herself.
Most of it is useless, but there is some information that is of great value.
This is where Liuli's confusion comes from.
Gradually, Liuli's eyes became clear again, and she glanced at Qin Sang, seeing that he was still refining the remaining energy of the relics, and there was no sign of exhaustion for the time being.
Her eyelids trembled slightly, Liuli slowly closed her eyes, still staying in the cave, so that if something unexpected happened to Qin Sang, she could come to her aid in time.
After a while, the light of the relic gradually extinguished and the energy was finally exhausted.
Qin Sang woke up from trance and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just after waking up, the information he got from the demonic thoughts flooded into his mind. Qin Sang looked at Liuli with a complicated look in his eyes, sighed silently, and got up to go to another cave to meditate.
…
Suffering! Collection! Destruction! Dao!
The four golden characters shone brightly in Liuli's mind, as if they contained infinite information, which was deafening and enlightening.
When refining the relics, they accidentally obtained a secret technique that can end the mortal world and cut off love with a wise sword.
What she values is not how powerful this secret technique is.
In order to get rid of the stigma of evil deeds, Liuli once locked love with silver needles and sealed love with ice soul.
They all failed for various reasons.
She once listened to Moonlight Bodhisattva and monks debating sutras in Jiujia Mountain, and gained a deeper understanding of Buddhism. At that time, she was inspired to find a way out of trouble from Buddhism.
I didn't expect to get it so quickly.
However, to practice this method, you must enter Buddhism, cut off the mortal world, and purify the six roots before you can achieve anything.
Liuli didn't know when she opened her eyes, and there were some waves in her clear eyes.
Before the opening of the Holy Land, although she had several contacts with Qin Sang, she didn't know much about him, and she mostly heard about his deeds.
Until the Battle of the Holy Land, she fought side by side with Qin Sang almost the entire time.
Facing the powerful enemy Yin Changsheng, he used his magical powers one after another, tried his best, and never gave up. Just like when he was trapped in the desperate situation planned by Dongyang Bo, he fought for the last line.
When faced with a group of monsters including two great monks, he led her into the dragon pool and suppressed them all with unparalleled courage.
Not letting go of any possibility, she traveled to Zhongzhou to look for illusory opportunities. She felt the same way about pursuing the Tao.
as well as.
Although it is easy to obtain a slave in the Nascent Soul stage, he can stick to the bottom line and minimize the impact on her.
The persistence and tenderness of carrying one person on his back and traveling thousands of miles in search of a way to save his life.
…
But.
When all these impressions of Qin Sang were combined into the brand of evil deeds, they all seemed to pale in comparison.
The terrifying feeling when you completely let go of the brand is like a nightmare. Every time the dream comes back, Liuli trembles all over.
Really?
Fantasy?
…
The ban is triggered.
Qin Sang woke up from trance and seemed to have a premonition of something. He stood up a little slowly and slowly opened the stone door.
Liuli stood outside, holding four snake seals and a jade slip in her palm.
"Inside is the complete "Tongbao Jue"."
Liuli said softly.
Qin Sang looked into Liuli's eyes and took the treasure with both hands. Although she understood what choice she would make based on her decision, she still couldn't help but ask, "Have you decided?"
Liuli nodded, "When I get the news about the Ghost Mother, I will summon Liuzhou Hall."
Qin Sang opened his mouth, and a thousand words turned into one sentence, "Thank you."
Liuli raised her eyes slightly and turned her gaze on Qin Sang's face.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, see you later!"
After saying that, Liuli clasped her hands together, turned around and walked down the mountain, walking away with firm steps to find her own way.
The sun sets in the west, spreading golden light all over the sky, filling the sky with golden sunset glow.
She took off her cloak and had already changed it into silk clothes and sandals.
The sword of wisdom cuts the thread of love!
Three thousand green silk threads fell, and lotuses grew at every step.
The rays of light fell on her, just like the Buddha's light shining all over her body, like entering the pure land of glass.
Qin Sang was sent out of the cave, leaning under the Bodhi tree, looking at Liuli's back, speechless for a long time.
Suddenly feeling something in his heart, he gently raised his right hand, and a piece of green silk carrying a wisp of fragrance fell into his palm, wrapped around his fingertips, and danced gently in the wind.
After standing there for a long time, Qin Sang let go of his fingers.
The black hair and the dead leaves all over the sky were swept into the boundless wind and sand.
Like the shadow of a butterfly.
dance to tune.
Drifting further and further away.

1. The fifth volume "Xiaoyaoyou", so stay tuned.
2. I owe too many chapters and I’m too embarrassed to take a rest. Let’s take a day off and sort out the outline.
3. This volume is difficult to write.
No matter good or bad, at least it fully expressed what I wanted to write.
As for their future, let me tell you.
The next volume will wrap up the previous clues and foreshadowing, and pave the way for what comes next. It will probably be more difficult to write, so I really can’t guarantee that there will be more updates, so I’ll give you a warning in advance.
