Under the white clouds, there are continuous green mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, and among the mountains, rivers and valleys, there are occasional Sanskrit sounds lingering and echoing.
Yunchan Temple, a holy place in the heart of Buddhist cultivation.
The main avenues and alleys in the temple are all built with unique Buddhist characteristics. Once you step inside, you will feel as calm as water, everything is empty, and the worries between your eyebrows will be swept away.
In the Zen room, Shang Xun took his seat casually and moved as he pleased without appearing frivolous or offensive at all.
He sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose and lowered his eyes. A cup of tea was newly brewed on the table in front of him. The heat was rising and the aroma of the tea was floating, with a faint alienation.
It's a good pot of tea.
He raised his eyes and looked at the position opposite. At this time, the sun was shining slantly. He was bathing in the sunshine, while the person opposite was sitting with his backlit.
The common black robe wraps around the whole body, blending well with the surrounding darkness, just like the person himself, in an abyss that no one can reach.
Under the dazzling light, Shang Xun squinted his eyes, picked up the tea cup and sipped lightly, with a half-hearted smile on his lips.
How can someone who grew up in the sun like the abyss?
When the guests came together, the host at the main seat chanted the Buddha's name and explained the purpose of today's move.
"I invite you two to come here today. Because of the seal formation under the Dragon Prison Tower, our temple has guarded this formation for generations. There has never been any abnormality, and no one has broken into the underground to know about this seal..."
It turned out that the host learned about the recent anomalies in the sealing formation, which had never happened before. On the one hand, he was worried that the formation would be unstable due to the later use of the Buddhist practice of the early Yuanying stage to "fill the numbers". On the other hand, he did not want to
Shang Xun and others spread the word about the Gate to Another World.
The origin of the Dragon Prison Tower has always been heard by everyone as a legend. No one really believes that there is an entrance to another world under the tower. Even the host himself has a dubious attitude towards this.
But no matter what, the ancestral teachings cannot be violated. If the door to another world is known and used by someone with intentions, it will definitely be a disaster for the world of cultivation. No one knows what exists on the other side of the door, and what happened thousands of years ago
Will the tragedy happen again?
The host didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't want to end up becoming a sinner after guarding Yunchan Temple for thousands of years.
The host turned his attention to Gu Yuqi, who was in the shadows, "The poor monk knew that Almsgiver Gu and another friend accidentally went to the underground tower level. This matter was related to our temple's poor thinking. Later, the two took the initiative to explore the abnormality of the seal.
, the poor monk also believes that this is a kind act."
The host looked at Shang Xun in the light and continued: "When the disciples sent by the temple arrived, you have been there for a long time. The disciples did not find anything abnormal after investigation.
Can you two tell the truth, what happened there before the people from this temple arrived, and whether there was anything unusual about the seal."
Gu Yuqi and Shang Xun's eyes met in the air for a moment, and then he naturally moved away to look at the host, accurately and concisely describing what he encountered about the seal.
Even when he integrated the relics temporarily given to him by Buddhist monks, he did not hide it at all.
After he finished speaking, Shang Xun glanced over, but he ignored it. His eyelids drooped and he focused on the teacup in front of him.
After listening, the host pondered for a moment and looked at Shang Xun's position. Before he could speak, Shang Xun spoke first.
"I haven't figured this out yet. A few years ago, I accidentally broke into a new secret realm, where I couldn't contact the outside world. The monsters there were somewhat different from those in this world, and the spiritual energy was a bit weird. With my cultivation, I couldn't communicate with the outside world.
Zhongya could only barely survive until a few days ago when I fell into the sea and was accidentally sucked into the whirlpool. When I woke up again, I appeared in the sealing formation."
Hearing this, the host frowned, and there was some distrust in his words, "This is just one-sided words from you, Young Sect Master..."
Shang Xun held his head slightly with his hands, and his informal movements seemed a bit rogue at the moment, "I entered the secret realm alone, who can testify for me?"
This is just what I told the host. Anyway, no one saw it. He said it like this. Whether it is true or not, you can believe it or not.
It is impossible to determine whether what Shang Xun said is true or not, nor whether he really appeared in the sealing formation by accident. But from the current point of view, to find out how he got in, it is better to focus on what he used first.
Will there be an opportunity for intruders to take advantage of it?
After understanding the meaning of the host, Shang Xun suddenly fell silent. No one knew what he was thinking at that time. There was actually a sense of loneliness in such a wanton person.
It seemed that no matter how warm the sunshine was, it could not dispel the sadness in his heart at this moment.
"No." After a long time, he spoke slowly, "No one can get through, and...can't go."
Gu Yuqi, who was staring at the tea cup, raised his head and looked at Shang Xun for a long time without looking away, but had no intention of speaking.
The host felt that Shang Xun's words were unusual, as if he was deliberately hiding something, but it was obvious that Shang Xun had no desire to share, and was only willing to tell him that the seal would not be touched again.
The host wanted to know why Shang Xun was so sure, but Shang Xun didn't want to say any more and didn't want to stay here for a moment.
He just wants to see his little apprentice at the moment. Only when he sees her can he feel at ease.
When Shang Xun wanted to leave, it was hard for the host to stop him. After all, he had already told him what he needed to tell him, and he had also cleaned up the hidden dangers in the seal formation, so there was no reason to force him to stay.
When Shang Xun was leaving, the host casually mentioned, "As far as the poor monk knows, the other young benefactor who entered the pagoda is the disciple of Master Shang. Why don't we see her here today?"
Hearing someone mention her without warning, Gu Yuqi's fingertips trembled violently, his vision blurred for a moment, and his body became even more tense unconsciously.
"She." Shang Xun turned around and chuckled, "The disciple is too stubborn to be useful. It's better for the master to handle such serious matters, and..."
He paused, glanced at Gu Yuqi and said, "Since the other one is already here, why bother asking her again."
Indeed, Gu Yuqi and Tong Yan fell into the bottom of the tower together and entered the sealing formation together. What they saw and heard were exactly the same. Asking them again would only get the same answer.
When Gu Yuqi left the Zen room, Shang Xun had already walked away for a long time, but no one expected that they would bump into each other again on the way down the mountain.
The light passed through the gaps between the leaves and turned into spots and fell on Gu Yuqi's eyes. The dazzling light made him gently close his eyes.
"You're waiting for me." Gu Yuqi said first. With Shang Xun's pace, it would have been impossible for him to leave the temple for so long.
Shang Xun leaned against the stone wall and looked Gu Yuqi up and down. He had an upright figure and a cold temperament. It was undeniable that this person was indeed rare in the world, both in appearance and talent.
Just a little worse than him.
"I got a relic for nothing, good luck." Shang Xun said evasively.
Even if he didn't stay in the Zen room, Shang Xun could guess that Gu Yuqi left a moment later because of the relics integrated into his body. He could still stand here safely at this moment. Obviously, the host did not pursue this matter.
Gu Yuqi kept a cold face and said nothing.
Just because he didn't answer, it didn't mean that Shang Xun stopped talking. He said in a mocking tone, "Tsk~ It stands to reason that you have become a demon and are the public enemy of monks in the world. Now you dare to show up in the Buddhist sect with such arrogance. You are so confident in yourself.
?”
Gu Yuqi looked at Shang Xun with an extremely cold expression and asked, "Why don't you dare?"
Since the host dared to invite him, he would definitely not take action against him. With his current level of cultivation, ordinary monks would not dare to take action against him easily. Again, he would come as he came, and he was never afraid.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and the grass on the roadside seemed to feel the chilling air in the air, and swayed in the wind.
The last sneer broke the deadlock. Shang Xun smiled casually and warned with cold eyes:
