"I hope you will do what you say. The pain is definitely beyond your imagination. If you can't bear the pain by then, then the transformation of the meridians will be cancelled. You will never want to practice internal energy again in this life."
After all, you are still too old, and your bones and meridians have long been established. Even if you are a few years younger, you will be fine." Master Yuantian sighed: "Also, improving your bones and meridians is very labor-intensive and cannot be completed overnight.
Yes, you must be prepared for a long-term struggle."
"That...how long will it take to complete?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"This..." Master Yuantian pondered for a moment: "It will take at least a month. I can't say, but it won't be short."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "No problem, I can afford to wait!" Master Yuan Tian said just now that it would take a long time, which shocked Ma Xiaoyao. He thought it would take several years, but later he heard Master Yuan Tian say
It only takes one month. Ma Xiaoyao immediately feels relieved. He can still afford to wait for one month. His main task now is to deal with the temple. There is no need to return to the Special Investigation Bureau unless there are special circumstances, so he currently has a lot of money.
Free time.
Lei Dazhuang's tense nerves also relaxed.
Although what Master Yuantian said was scary, it did not scare Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang. They were very confident in themselves, so they just had to suffer a little bit. It was nothing at all! As a man, there is no pain that he cannot bear.
! Now the two of them are confident. When the meridians and bones are actually transformed, the two of them know that Master Yuantian has not deceived them. The pain is really extraordinary, and they almost tortured them to death. Of course, this is all
Let’s not mention it for now.
"By the way, did you meet Ling Xue when you went to Tianshan this time?" Master Yuan Tian asked.
"No." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "That Ling Xue went out to travel more than ten years ago. Until now, he has never returned to the Tianshan Sect, and there is no news." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao took a secret look.
Master Yuantian: "The disciples of the Tianshan Sect said...Although Ling Xue often travels around, he will come back in a year or two at most. Even if something is delayed, he will send a message to the Tianshan Sect, but this time it took more than ten years.
There was no news from the year... so the disciples of the Tianshan Sect suspected that Ling Xue might have passed away..."
Upon hearing the word "death", Master Yuantian's eyebrows immediately twitched a few times, and then a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Ma Xiaoyao saw all the changes in Master Yuantian's expression and murmured in his heart: This old monk and that Ling Xue really have a special relationship. When he heard that Ling Xue might be dead, the old monk immediately changed his face. There is an inside story.
There must be some inside story! Unfortunately, the old monk was very strict and refused to admit it at all.
Master Yuantian quickly came to his senses and waved his hand casually: "Okay, you can go back and rest. After I prepare the Millennium Snow Lotus into an ointment, I will give it to you." The medicinal properties of Millennium Snow Lotus are very strong and cannot be directly used.
To take it, you need to mash it and mix it with other medicines before taking it.
Ma Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment: "Master, I have one more thing..."
"Say." Master Yuantian seemed to have forgotten about Ling Xue. He put all his energy on Millennium Snow Lotus and didn't have much time to talk to Ma Xiaoyao.
"Uh... that's it. Can I visit the treasure house of Shaolin Temple?" Ma Xiaoyao said while observing the changes in Master Yuantian's expression.
"Treasure house?" Master Yuantian's attention finally moved to Ma Xiaoyao, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Hao Duanduan, why did you remember to visit the treasure house of Shaolin Temple? What do you want to do?"
"Oh, it's like this. The disciple will be able to practice internal skills soon, and he will be considered a member of the martial arts in the future. So I want to get two handy weapons for self-defense and against the enemy. Master, you also know that I
I have many enemies..." Ma Xiaoyao racked his brains to make up excuses.
Master Yuantian didn't ask any more questions, and nodded: "Okay, let Wu Xiang take you to the treasure house to choose weapons." Ma Xiaoyao helped him get the thousand-year snow lotus, which was a great achievement, and Master Yuantian couldn't refuse.
"Thank you, Master, thank you Master." Ma Xiaoyao thanked him hurriedly.
"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, go down and rest quickly." Master Yuantian waved his hand: "Don't delay my research on the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."
"Disciple, please leave now." Ma Xiaoyao nodded, turned around and pulled Lei Dazhuang out of the cave.
Master Yuantian held the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus in his hands and secretly admired: "Ma Xiaoyao, this kid, still has two skills. He actually got the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus in such a short period of time. Well, people in the government should not underestimate it...
…It’s fine now. With this thousand-year-old snow lotus, I can improve my body functions, increase my lifespan, and practice the Yi Jin Jing with twice the result with half the effort.” At this point, Master Yuantian showed a trace of worry in his eyes: “More than ten years have passed.
No news, Ling Xue, you old witch won’t die like this, right? I’m still waiting for you to challenge me! If you die, then I will lose a lot of fun in my life.”
…
The next morning, Abbot Wuxiang led Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang to the treasure house to select weapons.
The treasure house of Shaolin Temple is also very large, even larger than the treasure house of Tianshan Sect. There are many things inside, most of which are old things. The treasure house is spotless and very clean. It looks like someone should clean it regularly.
here.
"Choose, tell me which weapon you like." Abbot Wuxiang said kindly.
Ma Xiaoyao thanked him, and he and Lei Dazhuang began to wander around the treasure house.
Unknowingly, the two of them came to the innermost part of the treasure house. There was a high platform here, more than one meter high, built of lime. On it was a half-meter-high gilded Buddha statue. Under the Buddha statue were placed two
Boxes, each box has the word "Buddha" engraved on it.
"What's in these two boxes?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"You'll know if you open it and take a look." Abbot Wuxiang said with a smile.
With the consent of Abbot Wuxiang, Ma Xiaoyao immediately reached out and opened the two boxes. Inside the first box were several black objects, which looked like stones, but upon closer inspection, they were not stones. As for what they were,
Ma Xiaoyao couldn't tell that the second box was empty without anything.
"The first thing in the box is the relic." Abbot Wuxiang introduced it next to him.
"Relics?" Ma Xiaoyao was shocked: "It's... what the eminent monk left behind after his death..."
"You know a lot," Abbot Wuxiang said with a smile: "After the eminent monk passes away, he will be cremated, and all the energy in the body will finally condense into relics, which some people call Buddha bones. Throughout the ages, after passing away, he can
There are really too few eminent monks who have condensed relics..." At this point, Abbot Wuxiang pointed to the relics in the box: "These relics were all left by the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple after their death. There are eight in total. They are precious treasures of Shaolin Temple.
The ultimate treasure..."
Ma Xiaoyao opened his eyes and looked at the relics carefully several times: "I don't know how these relics were formed. It's really incredible..."
Abbot Wuxiang nodded slightly: "The world is so big, it is normal for some incredible things to happen."
Ma Xiaoyao turned to look at the second box: "Why is this box empty?"
"Alas..." Abbot Wuxiang sighed: "There used to be something in it, but then it was lost."
"Lost?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "What exactly is it? How could it be lost?"
"Originally, this matter is a secret of the Shaolin Temple and is not allowed to be told outside. However, you two are disciples of Uncle Yuantian, so it's okay to tell you, but you have to promise not to go out and talk nonsense." Abbot Wuxiang warned.
Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang nodded quickly to ensure that they would not talk nonsense.
"Actually, to be honest... I don't know what is in the box..." Abbot Wuxiang said slowly: "This thing was passed down by the previous abbots. It is said to be kept for others. It must not be damaged.
...but I never expected that this thing would be stolen by an abandoned disciple...I still haven’t been able to get it back..."
"Keep it for someone else?" Ma Xiaoyao's heart moved: "What on earth is it?"
"It's about the thickness of a finger, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. There are strange patterns carved on the surface. It's all black, neither gold nor wood. I don't know what kind of material it is made of." Abbot Wuxiang stretched out his hand and gestured.
Uh! Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched, it really was the key to the mysterious stone door! Just now, Ma Xiaoyao was just skeptical, but after listening to Abbot Wuxiang's introduction, Ma Xiaoyao was already sure that the missing thing was the key to the mysterious stone door.
.
I scolded the guy next door!
Why was he so reluctant to memorize it? After finally entering the treasure house, the key to the mysterious stone door was lost!
Ma Xiaoyao was really angry.
"What's wrong with you?" Abbot Wuxiang noticed that Ma Xiaoyao's expression was wrong and asked with concern.
"Well..." Ma Xiaoyao came back to his senses: "It's okay... I was a little distracted just now... So what, abbot, how did this thing get lost? And what happened to the abandoned disciple you just mentioned?"
"This matter dates back thirty years ago, when I was not the abbot..." Abbot Wuxiang's eyes showed a look of reminiscence: "I have a senior brother named Wuye. He is very talented in martial arts, but he is a bit narrow-minded.
He is easy to hold grudges and has a somewhat withdrawn personality. Many people don't like him. Later, Shaolin Temple selected the abbot's successor. Wuye and I both signed up. In the end, I won and became the next abbot's successor. Wuye was very unconvinced, so he went to the abbot to argue.
, saying that the abbot was unfair and deliberately favoring me, and finally scolded the abbot. The abbot was so angry that he put Wuye in solitary confinement. Unexpectedly, Wuye actually injured the guarding disciple and ran out. Then he broke into the treasure house, plundered some treasures, and then fled the Shaolin Temple.
