"Master Xiong Sect, you are so complimentary. Sect Master Purple Faced Heavenly King has been famous for a long time, and his talent is so impressive that even I have heard about it in Qihai." Lin Mo returned the greeting politely.
As he spoke, he also quickly observed this person who was said to have the power of a great sage and was known as the Purple Faced King.
This Xiong Yuanhai, just by looking at his body shape, gives people a great intimidation. He is about the same height as him, but more majestic, with a strong back and waist, and two thick arms that bulge the brocade clothes.
The two palms are much larger than ordinary people, like two millstones.
What’s even more peculiar is that there are no palm prints on the palms of his two big hands!
Smooth as a mirror, very weird!
The whole person has a bold temperament and can easily express joy. A frown on his face is like a silent volcano erupting.
Looking at the disciples of the Dongzhen Sect who are always half a body behind their opponents, it can be seen that they have a very strong temperament.
In terms of energy and blood alone, it was indeed extremely strong, much stronger than Murong Shuo next to Lin Mo, but it was not so strong that it surprised him.
However, the power of the Great Sage lies in the fact that the Dharma-Phase supports the destiny star, and the Dharma-Phase is integrated with the body. What is the actual strength and combat power? Even if you simply look at him face to face, you can't tell anything.
You have to actually play it to know.
"I have been famous for a long time, yes, but in the blink of an eye, I am old," Xiong Yuanhai shook his head, "I am a good friend with Mingtun brother of the Nanami Yoshimizu Ming clan. We once talked about Aka Prefecture Kyushu and what the younger generation is like.
The first person Brother Mingtun mentioned was not someone else, but a little friend. At that time, I was still wondering why he was so unknown despite his outstanding talent, so I planned to find out more information.
I didn’t expect that my little friend would become famous in a blink of an eye and be listed as one of the Five Young Masters of the Seven Seas. I didn’t expect that my little friend was from a distant place and was a disciple of the Three Great Buddha Lineages in Chi County and Huaizhou Lingtai.”
The purple-faced man glanced at Lin Mo, smiled and shook his head,
"When I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary, but it disappointed those who advocated that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple divides the three channels into two."
There are three Buddhist lines in Chi County, all of which have been passed down from ancient times.
They are Yizhou Landuo Temple (Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple), Wangjing Baima Zen Monastery, and Huaizhou Lingtai Sect.
The former is the most powerful, and alone controls Ten Thousand Bones Forest. It is said that there are ten thousand Buddhas in the temple, and it is hidden that it is the number one in Buddhism.
The winner has the advantage of terrain in Wangjing. Rumor has it that when Emperor Qi Guang of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born, a Nine-Yuan Golden Dragon Crow, the seventh most precious treasure in the Heavenly Materials Scroll, a white horse camel, flew around the palace and landed.
After Emperor Qi Guang came of age, in order to remember the merits of Baima Xianbao, he was rewarded many times to get close to Baima Zen Monastery, which made the latter develop extremely rapidly.
The last Lingtai Sect is slightly weaker. Although it is one of the two mountains in Huaizhou, it relies on the mixed sects of the three lines and is no longer pure.
Especially after Lu Chen in Huaizhou, he was close to losing his voice.
Therefore, some people advocate that Xiaowanfo Temple, which ranks second in Yizhou, is more qualified to become one of the three major Buddhist lines in Chi County than the Lingtai Sect.
This kind of remarks was a big deal some time ago.
It wasn't until Lingtai Sect became famous in Qihai and caused a lot of commotion that it calmed down a lot.
"Senior Mingtun is ridiculous. Chi County is so big and has so many talented people, how can I afford to be the first person? I have achieved this level of success just because I have a little more luck than others.
As for the names of the three major Buddha lines in Chi County..." Lin Mo shook his head,
"It's just a false name."…
Fame is the most tiring thing in the world. He had already realized this when he emerged in the sea of Thuja.
For the so-called reputation, people from all walks of life come to the mountain almost every day.
Frontal combat, sneak attack from behind, poisoning, traps, all kinds of methods are endless.
It wasn't until after the Sea Festival, when he was rated as one of the Five Little Elites of the Seven Seas by the good guys, that he calmed down a lot.
During that time, almost every once in a while, he would stain his hands with blood and cause killing...
"It doesn't make sense? At your age, little friend, you should care about your reputation the most. Well, I heard that the Lingtai lineage has eight bodies to protect the body. It's my intention. It's normal to have such thoughts."
As a Buddhist in Yizhou, Xiong Yuanhai naturally has a lot of understanding of the three major Buddhist lines.
Lin Mo
He smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
"I was worried that my little friend might be troubled by some rumors, but now there is no need." Xiong Yuanhai laughed loudly.
"My little friend is also a friend of my old friend Minghong, and he also saved my disciples. If you come to my realm today, you must be treated well!"
After saying that, he led Lin Mo and others towards the fortress.
Not long after, the group arrived at the Dingzhen Pavilion, which is the highest in the mountain fort.
Dingzhen Pavilion is located on the mountainside. It is not only the highest, but also the widest. It is surrounded on all sides and hollowed out on one side, overlooking the entire Dongzhen Earthen Fortress.
At the end of the line of sight, one can still see the majestic Wanyicheng City, dormant on the earth like a giant beast, with three giant prisms reaching into the sky.
In the pavilion, one person per table, including Xiong Yuanhai, there were more than a dozen people sitting.
Beside the table is a golden burrowed grass that is as thick as an average person's arm and three feet high, and emits a quiet fragrance.
The people in the pavilion are all high-level officials of the Dongzhen Gate Citadel here, and the weakest ones are all True Lords.
It can be said that the courtesy treatment is quite high.
"Before I took over Dongzhenmen, Dongzhenmen was not so prosperous. At that time, Wanfo Temple proposed to build Wanyicheng and jointly control Wangu Forest.
This kind of errand was something that the Yizhou martial arts community could not avoid at that time, fearing it like a snake or a scorpion. However, when I thought about it carefully, I directly brought half of my men here to build this cave castle. This bet turned out to be the right one!
"
Xiong Yuanhai showed a nostalgic look on his face: "This Forest of Ten Thousand Bones used to be a place full of dangers. After all, in the Battle of Wangjing Tianqing, the destruction of thousands of miles of land was still vivid in my mind, but with the construction of the eighteen levels of hell,
A dangerous place has turned into a truly secret and blessed place!"
He laughed loudly as he spoke, "Ores, spiritual herbs, and precious medicines that are rare in Chi County are all found in Ten Thousand Bone Forests, and the quantities are huge!
It has more vitality and is very easy to practice, making people feel like they have returned to the era when martial arts was most prosperous! That’s what it is!”
The voice fell.
A woman with a majestic figure, a look of determination, and a height of two meters walked into the rock pool holding a rock pool one to three feet long and three feet wide.
There is thick mud in it, and there are more than a dozen long, narrow and lively crucian carp like snakes rolling in it.
The woman put down the rock pool, with a look of unbearable expression on her face, then fished out all the crucian carp, and took out an iron tube from the empty stone ring with her other hand.
The iron tube was spitting fire, and the crucian carp was stuck to the mud. The woman caught it and threw it into the fire, where it was immediately grilled.
There should be something strange about the flame, but within three or four breaths, the body of the lively and hopping crucian carp hardened, and a strange fragrance came from it...
The woman presented the crucian carp, which was hardened with mud on her body and emitted a fragrant aroma, in front of everyone.
"Just like this mountain crucian carp, which is said to be a crucian carp seedling in three years, a mountain crucian carp in six years, swimming among the earth and rocks, and a mountain crucian carp in thirty-six years, turning into an earth dragon. Eating it can strengthen the internal organs and attract human beings to interact with each other.
Even for true kings and warriors, it can nourish the Dharmakaya. This good thing has been rarely found as early as the Middle Ages, attracting countless elegant people to explore. Until modern times, no one has found it, so no one cares about it anymore. But I am in the Ten Thousand Bones Forest.
I was lucky enough to find a nest,
After working hard to cultivate it every year, I can enjoy some delicious food from time to time! It is better than the ancients!" Xiong Yuanhai said with a smile.
"This... is indeed a strange thing."
Lin Mo gently used chopsticks to crack open the mud shell. The white and tender crucian carp had very little meat and no seasoning. After one bite, a burst of freshness was released from his taste buds.
The most peculiar thing is that it contains vitality that has been condensed into substance, so substantial that the red energy on his talent bead jumped!
The vitality contained in it seems to be somewhat special and is extremely suitable for human body to absorb.
According to his estimation, the amount of vitality contained in this mountain-climbing crucian carp is almost as much as the Yuan Stone he took for half a month!
This made Lin Mo interested.
He stayed away from his family and sect and came to Yizhou. In addition to exchanging interests and completing the corresponding tasks of the Seven Seas Alliance, wasn't it just to see if the Ten Thousand Bones Forest in this realm, with its flaws, could accelerate the awakening of his talent pearl?
I didn’t expect that this realm was indeed the right one. In addition to leisure points, there are so many precious medicines and good things.
Have the same effect!
"In the past, Ten Thousand Bones Forest was considered very good, allowing Yizhou Martial Arts to flourish so much that it almost ushered in a golden age. But now, it can be regarded as a blessing and a curse, which makes people worried."
Xiong Yuanhai also tasted the mountain crucian carp. While eating, his smile slowly faded.
Lin Mo put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine cup, and took a sip: "The situation shouldn't be that bad now, right? Is it possible that Senior Xiong has something to hide?"
The reason why he came here was that in the Yizhou area, "small flaws appeared in endlessly, which caused many Thousand Feather Realm monsters and beasts to roam around the state.
And in the Ten Thousand Bones Forest in the realm, traces of the Tao Ancestor and the Ten Immortals are looming.
What I saw and heard when I came to central Yizhou from Qihai indeed confirmed this point.
At least there are many young disciples from large sects like Duan Zhen in the state, forming teams to carry out demon hunting operations and carry out targeted containment.
"If it's just a small flaw, it's nothing to worry about. The Mysterious Land of Ten Thousand Bones Forest has existed in Yizhou for so long. Inner disciples of all sects and sects will go there to experience it.
For people from the neighboring states, it may be difficult to deal with them, and there are very few difficult alien cultivators. But here, they can only be considered average, and we have even developed certain systematic means of dealing with them.
But recently, just after that little flaw appeared, suspected black Buddhism spread in Yizhou in an unknown way, and even high-level people were involved, causing a lot of trouble.
For example, one month ago, that 'shadow' in Ten Thousand Bones Forest was ultimately the result of someone performing sacrificial rituals, or even directly destroying the seventeenth level of the eighteen levels of hell."
"Black Buddhism? One level of the Eighteenth Level Hell has been broken. Why is there no news about this matter..." Lin Mo was surprised. He didn't expect to hear a familiar name in a different place, let alone the Eighteenth Level who was rumored to be suppressing everything.
Hell, it’s damaged.…
"The news has been suppressed to avoid causing panic, but everything is still under control. It's just that in the Ten Thousand Bones Forest, there are many more strange cultivators from the Thousand Feather Realm than before. You should know this when you get to Wanyicheng.
"Xiong Yuanhai did not elaborate.
But everything was under control, but Lin Mo didn't believe it.
If this were true, there would be no need for anyone from the Seven Seas Alliance to come.
You must know that people who are not from our ethnic groups must have different minds.
Even now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Hai Clan is in the honeymoon period, and the former has no intention of letting the latter approach the realm.
Even this time, the rescue warriors sent by the Seven Seas Alliance were all from mainland China...
However, you have to investigate the specific situation yourself.
Thoughts were swirling in Lin Mo's mind, but he naturally changed the subject. While eating fish and drinking wine, he talked about the Great Sage's breakthrough that he had always been curious about.
It's not easy to meet a living great sage with a friendly attitude. It would be a pity not to ask.
But just as he put down his wine cup and was about to speak, suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the pavilion.
Da da da!!
A panting, yellow-faced man wearing a white collar and yellow clothes jumped into the pavilion, then knelt on one knee and slid into the pavilion.
"Tell the sect master that I have something important to tell you!"
"Urgent news came from the Chongbei Plain. Two days ago, two big demons came through Xiaoxiaodian. One of them was killed by the senior Yin Family Immortal Sword.
The other big demon escaped into the Tai'a Mountains and disappeared without a trace!"
The man was obviously rushing towards us. He was panting all the way, his energy was disordered, and his energy and blood were unstable.
"Tai'a Mountains, this is beyond the Chongbei Plain. I remember that the three mountain saint monks from Xiaowanfo Temple were guarding the north and south directions. Has this been breached?" Xiong Yuanhai stood up at once, frowned, and said in a deep voice
.
The air in the pavilion seemed a little heavier for a moment.
"It is said that the holy monk of Sanshan was dragged away by a figure in golden armor and failed to inspect in time. The holy monk was even seriously injured. Now he has returned to Xiaowanfo Temple to recover from his injuries.
His senior brother, Holy Monk Fulong, will take over the duty of inspection..." the man responded.
As soon as the words fell, the elders of the True Lord who had been watching from the sidelines in the pavilion suddenly went into an uproar.
The Chongbei Plain is regarded as a high-frequency area with small flaws, so the alliance organized
There are many inspection teams, and there are even great saint warriors stationed in all directions outside.
Warriors of this level, whether from a sect family or a wanderer, are out-and-out bosses.
You can create a lasting legacy at any time.
The great sage who came out of Xiaowanfo Temple is even more powerful. Now he is actually injured?
What's even more terrifying is that a big demon took the opportunity to escape into the Tai'a Mountains.
You must know that the beast demons who are qualified to be called great demons are not only terrifying in strength, but the most feared thing is their ability to pollute an area of Taoism.
If we use this to attack important places in the state...
"No matter what, its location must be determined as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily lead to a catastrophe." Murong Shuo said.
"This incident was caused by Xiaowanfo Temple, which should have already formulated regulations. So, the top priority is to find out whether it is accidental or inevitable.
In the past, big demons did not appear so frequently." Xiong Yuanhai said in a deep voice.
He said and looked at Lin Mo, "Whether it's a coincidence or not, Wanyicheng will be on heightened alert. I'm afraid some of you will be busy after your little friend arrives."
"If I'm not mistaken, once this matter is publicized, there will definitely be big moves at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple..."
"Busy? Senior, can you tell me what to do with this busy schedule? Is it also a patrol?"
Lin Mo pondered for a moment and then asked.
"But I don't know this. Wanfo Temple is responsible for scheduling and arrangements in Wanyicheng. Among them, the tasks include investigation, patrolling, and killing. The most dangerous ones are naturally investigation and killing... Both of them need to go deep into the realm...
