Chu Qianqiu is naturally no exception. His premonition is even stronger than that of most martial arts masters, and it can be used as clues and evidence.
Just as King Jing was not dead, Chu Qianqiu's premonition told him that he was not dead.
Is Governor Qin dead? It felt like he was dead, so Chu Qianqiu did not continue to investigate.
Such a strong premonition ability is not only because he is a half-step celestial being, but also because he has the "White Tiger Tongyi", a treasure book of the Zhensect of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the blood of Qilin.
Kirin is said to be able to turn misfortune into good luck, and has extremely strong sensory abilities. It is even considered to be the most likely mythical beast to become a celestial being, and has more potential than other mythical beasts.
Chu Qianqiu didn't understand why before, but now that he knew about Guixu's situation, he finally understood the powerful power of Qilin.
So he used the power of Qilin blood and noticed something was wrong.
"Xiangbei, don't panic."
"I'm going to check on the old Taoist priest's body now."
Yuanyang Sect, Martyr Garden
A spiritual seed was drilled out of the ancestral orifice between Xiang Bei's eyebrows, which was Chu Qianqiu's martial arts clone.
"Sir, do you think grandpa was killed?"
"Who is it and why is it necessary to do this?"
Xiang Bei gritted his teeth and said, because as long as he makes further contributions and as Lord Zhongwu can give him life-extending elixirs, then grandpa may be able to live longer.
But he did not have this blessing and died of illness early.
"Perhaps the bad guys from Daxia discovered the traces and sent people to take action again."
Chu Qianqiu appeared in front of the Yuanyang Sect's mourning hall. There was an old man lying quietly in the coffin, losing his breath.
"When did the old man die of illness?"
"The headmaster said it was seven days ago and he left peacefully."
"I heard from the attendant who took care of me that my grandfather was still calling my name before he left, and shouted "Xiangbei" twice."
Xiangbei burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.
"Open the coffin and let me see the old man." Chu Qianqiu said softly. He could understand Xiang Bei's pain at this time.
As the saying goes, don't be sad because separation is the reason.
He has been an orphan since he was a child. He was raised by an old Taoist priest and treated as his own. He had just made some progress and was about to return home and serve the old man. But when he received such bad news, how could he feel so embarrassed?
"Yes, sir." Xiang Bei reluctantly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, opened the coffin, and Chu Qianqiu poured his wishful nature into it, calling on the spirit of the old Taoist priest's corpse.
But death is like a lamp going out.
If the old Taoist priest dies accidentally, some spiritual energy will remain in the body, which can be retrieved by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
But if you die of old age, you will not have any spiritual energy left behind.
"The end is indeed approaching."
"Today is the first seven days, and he doesn't have any spirituality left."
"The old man passed away peacefully. To the north, please express your condolences and be patient."
Chu Qianqiu first said a few words of comfort, then frowned. Based on his perception, he felt that there was something wrong with the old Taoist priest's death. However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's examination proved that the old Taoist priest had indeed died of old age.
.
Generally speaking, after a person dies, his spirituality does not gradually decline. If he is wronged and wronged, his spirituality will reach the maximum on the seventh day, which is called the first seven among the people.
If the deceased was deeply wronged, it is easy for the deceased's family members to hear the deceased's cries and redress his injustice on the seventh day.
Because on this day, the spirituality of the deceased will reach a peak.
On the contrary, if a person dies until his life span reaches the limit, there will be no spiritual feedback. This is called joy and mourning among the people.
The Yuanyang sect believes that if the Supreme Elder lived a long life of 135 years and died without illness or pain, it would be a joyful death.
Naturally, they do not celebrate funerals, but celebrate happy events.
Only Xiang Bei was crying quietly.
"I'll check again."
"Show me your longevity mountain!"
Chu Qianqiu believed in his own intuition more than the facts found by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so he took a [Jiazi Divine Pill] to allow his perception to see the longevity mountain and see things more clearly.
In an instant, Chu Qianqiu saw a mountain on the old Taoist priest's body. The mountain had completely turned black, proving that this man's life span had ended.
But after he looked at Sousui Mountain from beginning to end, he finally discovered something was wrong.
"The old Taoist priest's longevity should be one hundred and thirty-six years old. Now he is one hundred and thirty-five years old, and he has died without any illness, and his life span has been shortened by one year."
"Normally, it is difficult for people to live to the limit of their life span."
"But the old Taoist priest is a great master in the late stage of congenital life. He has a strong body, no hidden injuries, and is well versed in health preservation. In addition, his daily life is leisurely and very regular."
"He does not need to consider the pressure of life. He is not troubled by diseases. It is relatively normal to live to the end of his life."
Chu Qianqiu checked the old man's body and found that he had indeed reached the limit of his life. When he called Xiang Bei's name, he suddenly passed away.
But this is inconsistent with his longevity!
"It's strange. Could it be that someone has practiced some kind of martial arts that deprives people of their longevity?"
"But it doesn't look like it. It's more like my life span passes too quickly and is completely consumed in a short time."
Chu Qianqiu frowned. He also had martial arts to control life and death, such as the "Sutra of Souls" or "Star God's Art of Coming to the World", which had similar abilities.
But they are all life-depriving techniques, and they will leave traces once used.
But Chu Qianqiu didn't see any signs of being attacked.
"There are so many weird and bizarre martial arts in the world."
"Since you can't see it, call for off-site assistance."
When Chu Qianqiu thought of this, he immediately called Zen Master Zuyuan and asked him for relevant knowledge.
"Rebirth in bliss, this is the method of Maitreya Buddha." Zen Master Zuyuan suddenly widened his eyes and said incredulously.
"Maitreya?"
"Yes, there once was a temple in Buddhism called [Future Temple]."
"The Future Temple is dedicated to the future lord of Buddhism, Maitreya Buddha, and the temple's treasure book is the Sutra of Future Star Tribulations."
"Ever since the Dao Sect conquered the Future Temple eight thousand years ago, this unparalleled treasure has been lost."
"However, there is a legend among the surviving monks of Mirai Temple that the abbot of Mirai Temple at that time had predicted the destruction of Mirai Temple."
"He split the "Sutra of Future Star Tribulations" into three parts in advance and made them into treasures for those who are destined to do so."
"These three parts are the Sutra of Maitreya's Superior Rebirth, the Sutra of Maitreya's Second Rebirth and the Sutra of Maitreya's Enlightenment as a Buddha."
"Among them, there is a formula in the Maitreya Sutra, which is called [rebirth in bliss], which means that through the passage of time, a person's life span will be exhausted and he will pass away on the spot."
"This is very similar to the behavior described by Donor Chu."
Maitreya Buddha is known as the Lord of the Future and controls time!
Chu Qianqiu simply couldn't believe that this old Taoist priest would provoke such a powerful enemy.
Is it because of that jade pendant?
"And..." Zen Master Zuyuan hesitated when he said this.
"Zen Master, you and I have been friends for many years."
"If I can find the Maitreya Sutra, I will definitely repay the Zen Master."
Chu Qianqiu said.
"Furthermore, there are rumors in the world that His Excellency King Jing has mastered the "Maitreya Sutra" and is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha."
"However, after investigation by Maha Temple, it is believed that the rumors are inconsistent with the facts."
"So if the donor of Chu meets King Jing, although I am not worried that the donor will be in danger, he must pay attention to a few things."
"Thank you Zen Master for reminding me."
Chu Qianqiu took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, King Jing became more active after Jing Yulong died.
He actually came to Baixiang Town and took away a jade pendant from the Yuanyang Sect.
Could it be that this jade pendant actually hides the secrets of two other scriptures?
