"——I was supposed to be the one looking for Brother Zhuang, but instead I let Brother Zhuang look for me everywhere. I'm really ashamed, I'm sorry."
As soon as Yan Dingtian stopped escaping, he put on a wry smile, spread out his hands and explained apologetically: "About half a month ago, Yan couldn't bear it anymore and broke into the forbidden area. As a result, he almost died and ended up alone.
He fled with his body. Most of the magic weapon, elixir, and talisman were thrown inside, including the talisman that led the machine."
At this time, Yan Dingtian was indeed in a bad condition. His clothes were damaged in more than ten places. The Qiankun Ring in his hand also disappeared without a trace.
The sleeve on the right side has disappeared, and the elbow is used as the dividing line. The skin color is obviously wrong. The upper arm is slightly black, and the lower arm is white.
As long as a monk has some experience in reconnecting severed limbs, he will know that Yan Dingtian's right arm has been amputated before and was regenerated not long ago.
You don't need to guess, Yan Dingtian's small void ring should have been severed together with the severed arm.
"This is Zhiyuan from Zhenlong Temple in the West."
Yan Dingtian introduced Zhuang Wudao to the novice monk beside him: "If it weren't for the help of this monk, I might not have been able to escape this time. Thanks to the profound Buddhist teachings of monk Zhiyuan, my arm can be like this
Regenerate soon."
A monk's limbs and body can be reborn continuously as long as they are not poisoned or caused by special injuries. However, the higher the level of cultivation, the more troublesome it becomes.
This Zhiyuan was able to restore Yan Dingtian to his original state within fifteen days. His knowledge of Buddhism and medicine was truly profound.
He had also heard about the famous name of Zhenlong Temple in the Western Regions for a long time, and it was like thunder in his ears.
Zhuang Wudao glanced at this person and was about to salute him. However, the monk Zhiyuan suddenly took a step forward with a bright light in his eyes and said: "Donor Zhuang, I just heard from Donor Yan that the one on the second floor is
A dragon-bearded bodhi branch and six bodhi seeds, are all in your hands?"
"Um"
Zhuang Wudao raised his brows slightly, and his expression suddenly turned cold. A faint sense of fist lingered around him.
Could it be that this Zhiyuan also wanted to be like Fa Zhi and wanted to rob him by force?
"The dragon-bearded Bodhi branches and Bodhi seeds are indeed in my hands. I wonder what the monk wants to do with them?"
Especially the last four characters, each with one sound, imply killing.
"Don't dare"
When Na Zhiyuan saw Zhuang Wudao's tone and demeanor, he realized that something was wrong. He quickly took a step back with apologetic eyes: "But it's the monk who lost his composure. That Longxu Bodhisattva is related to the life and death of a great monk in our sect. Long.
The Subhuti branch is also a rare sacred object in Buddhism. Zhiyuan is in a hurry and asks the donor for forgiveness."
The hierarchy of Buddhism is more strict than that of Taoism. It is not called by the level of practicing Qi and building the foundation. Instead, it is based on merit and results, such as novice, monk, monk, and great monk.
According to Yun'er, above the Great Sengzheng, there are Quan Sengzheng, Zen Master, Xianjue, Dharma Master, Da Dharma Master, etc., which correspond to the ninth level of Taoism. Above that, there is the fruition status of Vajra Arhat.
However, in this realm, Buddhism is headed by the great monk Zheng. Once you reach this realm, you can take charge of a Buddhist land and be on par with the Taoist Yuanshen.
Zhuang Wudao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and glanced sideways at the silent Yan Dingtian.
"Then what you mean, monk, is that you want Mr. Zhuang to give these two things to you?"
How can there be such a good thing in this world?
"The donor misunderstood? How dare Zhiyuan have such intention? He also thinks that he is not the donor's opponent."
Zhiyuan shook his head and explained solemnly: "Zhiyuan's intention is to exchange with the donor. Dragon Subhuti is of little use to the donor, but to Zhenlong Temple, it is related to the destiny of our sect."
The sect that Zhiyuan refers to is the Lotus Sect. Taoism has many tributaries, but Buddhism is divided into Mahayana and Hinayana, and Hinayana Buddhism has eight major Zen sects.
The Fahua Sect is one of them. Zhenlong Temple in the Western Regions is the ancestral hall of the Fahua Sect.
"exchange?"
Zhuang Wudao was relieved now, but he was a little embarrassed. His attitude just now was a bit aggressive. This was also his experience in the past two months, which made him always tense and wary of everyone.
"This makes me wonder what Monk Zhiyuan is prepared to exchange for?"
If it was a good deal, he would naturally want to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.
"Forty-nine pieces of fifth-level red refined Qingning sand. It is said that Sanfa Zhenren of the noble sect is collecting this thing with five million good deeds."
Seeing that Zhuang Wudao's expression was indifferent and noncommittal, Zhiyuan added another sentence: "With the credit guarantee of Zhenlong Temple, I, the gods and Buddhas of the Fahua Sect, have witnessed it. I don't care whether I, Zhiyuan, can keep this dragon's whisker Bodhi branch safe.
Send it back. Our Zhenlong Temple will send the donor’s gift to the Lichen Sect within three months.”
Zhuang Wudao moved slightly, this was somewhat interesting.
Carrying such a rare treasure as the Longxu Bodhi branch with him will definitely be coveted by countless people, especially Liaoyuan Temple, who will do it at all costs. It can be foreseen that when he returns to the Lichen Sect in the future, he will be in danger.
Zhiyuan meant that this dragon-bearded Bodhi branch could be entrusted to him today. This meant that he would immediately take over this hot trouble from Zhuang Wudao's hands so that he could get out of trouble.
The forty-nine pieces of red pure Qingning sand are indeed incomparable to the dragon's whisker bodhi branch. However, when he walks out of Lihan Palace, he may not be able to safely bring this thing back to Lichen.
"Can"
After just a brief thought, Zhuang Wudao made a decision: "I just don't know whether you, monk, can be the master? How can I prove it?"
Only with the endorsement of Zhenlong Temple and the oath witnessed by the gods and Buddhas of the Fahua Sect, he would not have to fear Zhiyuan's repentance.
Zhenlong Temple is the ancestral hall of the Fahua Sect in this world, and it is also a major sect in the Western Regions. It will not ruin its reputation for the sake of these mere 49 red Qingning Sands.
"The poor monk is a new disciple. He has been a disciple for less than ten years, and his position is humble. However, before he came, he was favored by several masters and was awarded the sect's dharma seal, which should clear the benefactor's doubts."
When Zhiyuan spoke, he held a small blood-red seal in his hand. Zhuang Wudao's eyes immediately softened. This was the same as the first seal awarded by Jie Fa during the battle at Wuming Mountain. The holder could have
He has the right to preside over expedients. He also has the Buddhist blessings of the great monks of Zhenlong Temple, and his title is on the seal of Lichen's first seat.
This Zhiyuan must be highly valued by several great monks at Zhenlong Temple.
"There are also those six Longxu Bodhi Seeds. Our Zhenlong Temple can offer six Jiuqu Shashen Fruits in exchange. They are not as good as the Bodhi Seeds, but they can also open up spiritual orifices and magical powers. I wonder what Shi Shi's idea is?"
Zhuang Wudao was a little hesitant. The Jiuqu Adenophora fruit grows in the desert and is hidden underground. It is also the top rare treasure. It can replicate the third-level pseudo-spiritual aperture below the Yuan Shen realm. It also happened twice.
In addition to the nine holes in the orifice, two more holes are drilled.
In this world, it is said that there are only forty Adenophora vines in total, almost monopolized by the Zhenlong Temple family.
However, there is only one disadvantage to this Adenophora fruit, which is that a person can only take one in his lifetime.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Wudao still shook his head slightly: "I can only give you three Longsu Bodhi seeds at most, and I have some other uses for the rest."
But he thought of his spiritual slave, the legacy left by the former owner of Haitao Tower. He didn't covet it, but equal exchange was always possible.
Even if that rumor is false, it doesn't matter to Zhuang Wudao. As long as the three cold yin veins are unlocked, Nie Xianling's potential is endless. It is easy to return the three dragon beard bodhi seeds to him, or their equivalent.
After all, I still pity Nie Xianling's talent and cannot bear to let it go to waste.
Zhiyuan frowned, but before he could speak, Zhuang Wudao spoke again: "However, I have another Youtan fruit here, which is not as valuable as the Dragon Xu Bodhi seed. It is also a sacred object of Buddhism.
Can four holy fruits be used together in exchange for four Jiuqu Adenophora fruits?"
"Udanguo?" A hint of joy flashed through Zhiyuan's eyes, and then he said decisively: "This also makes it possible."
The Udumbara Fruit is more difficult to see than the Dragon Subjugation Bodhi, and is more suitable for comprehending the magical powers of Buddhism. The latter only has more ability to open spiritual apertures than the former.
After the two reached an agreement, the transaction was extremely fragile. Zhiyuan first pointed at the gods and Buddhas enshrined by the Lotus Sect and swore an oath, and then the Dharma Ring Seal emitted a beam of red light a moment later, which will
A mysterious power descended from heaven and earth and was introduced into the ring seal.
These are the several eminent monks of Zhenlong Temple who have blessed the Buddhist thoughts on it, and also recognized the oath of Zhiyuan.
Without the consent of these great monks, even if Zhiyuan holds the seal of the Dharma, he cannot make the oath take effect.
Zhuang Wudao was also so happy that he handed over the Bodhi branches and Bodhi seeds in his hands to Zhiyuan.
After the deal was concluded, both parties felt a little closer. Zhuang Wudao also had a good impression of Zhiyuan.
This monk is not bad, with a cheerful and neat temperament. He is also a disciple of Buddhism, but he is not as aggressive as Dharma wisdom.
As for whether Fa Zhi's lessons learned from the past caused Zhiyuan to change his temperament, Zhuang Wudao doesn't know.
Yan Dingtian had not interrupted before, so he smiled slightly and said: "Congratulations to both of you, you each got what you need today. Now that this matter has been settled, why not discuss helping me get the treasure? Brother Zhuang, you have already found this
I am sure that I am willing to lend a helping hand."
Zhuang Wudao did not answer after hearing the words. He first took a deep look at Yan Dingtian's right arm, and then asked: "I want to know what Brother Yan really wants? What happened to him there?
"
"What Yan planned was a dragon-suppressing stone, which is said to be able to suppress the dragon energy of the dynasty. Millions of years ago, there was a dynasty called Daxia, and its leader once obtained nine dragon-suppressing stones, so the country was greatly strengthened.
At its peak, it once occupied half of the Tianyi Realm. It is said that the Lihan Palace was built because of
Both sides suffered losses with the Great Xia Dynasty, which suddenly declined and disappeared within just a hundred years. The nine dragon-suppressing stones of the Great Xia Dynasty had long been scattered and disappeared. I know this from some ancient fragments.
There may be a Dragon Suppressing Stone on the third floor of Lihan Palace."
Yan Dingtian didn't hesitate much and said with a wry smile: "I heard people say that if you can get this thing, you can get the dragon energy of the Great Spirit Kingdom gathered into one body. So I took the risk to enter the Lihan Palace. But I didn't expect that I would
