Chapter 524 – Son of Buddha (6000)

In this instant, a single gaze was cast upon himself, and two of them gave Xu Qi’an the sensation of having thorns in his back.

Deep within the temple, that gaze originating from the Third Grade Vajra carried scrutiny. And that gaze that originated from Ilbu was chilling.

The jianghu people present, silently pull away, lest this mysterious master by the third grade spiritual master or Dharma protection vajra “discipline”, because they are too close and the fish.

They were dissatisfied with the Witch God Sect’s Spiritual Wisdom Master for denigrating Xu Yinluo, but they only dared to make small beeps and weak protests, and jumping out to taunt a man like the man in green was no different from committing suicide.

Liu Yun of the Double Blade Sect stood up with great difficulty and wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth, she was glad that someone could come forward, but she couldn’t help but worry about the plain-looking green-robed man.

This person’s tactics were treacherous, his cultivation was strong, and he dared to face a third grade expert straight on, in normal times, she would have invited the other party for a drink. Now, she only wanted the other party to hurry up and withdraw.

Thinking in his heart, the meticulous Liu Yun found that the companions around the man in green, did not see the slightest panic and alarm, their faces were calm, and one of them, a man with a mediocre appearance, his eyes were glowing, and even, even a little bit looking forward to the next conflict?

Yuan Yi and the other Fourth Grade experts looked deeply at the man in green while focusing on the actions of the two Third Grade, trying to determine the true attitude of the two Third Grade through what happened to this man in green.

If something bad happened to the man in green, then they would decisively abandon the treasures in the tower and leave the Three Flowers Temple.

“Amitabha.”

Instead, it was Monk Pureheart who was the first to speak, whispering:

“The poison on Senior Brother Yin Shun’s body has not yet been removed, and eating this poison is something only he can cure. Please be merciful, Uncle Du Nan.”

Without waiting for Duran Vajra to speak, Ilbu said faintly:

“Don’t worry, Monk Pureheart, the sorcerer’s Blood Spirit Technique is just as capable of ridding him of the poison.”

Monk Pureheart folded his hands and stopped talking.

Having said that, it seemed that the death sentence had already been pronounced for that green-clothed man.

“Senior, are you sure you can kill him.”

Li Lingsu transmitted his voice in a slightly excited manner.

He was very interested in Xu Qian’s identity, and so far, he hadn’t been able to figure out the other party’s roots. Although this bad old man was proficient in compulsion, Li Lingsu did not think that compulsion was the other party’s major system.

I am just a watery ……… Xu Qi an silently spat in his heart, and in front of the crowd, he took out the magic snail, brought it to his mouth, and muttered for a while.

What’s he doing?

Seeing this scene, Li Lingsu, the surrounding Leizhou people, and the Buddhist monks in the distance had bewilderment in their eyes.

But soon, they understood.

“Look, what’s that?”

A martial monk pointed to the sky and exclaimed in shock.

Including Xu Qi’an, Li Lingsu, the Twin Blades Sect, the Leizhou Chamber of Commerce, Commander Yuan Yi, and Zhenfu General Li Shaoyun, all turned their heads and looked at the high altitude behind them.

A dark, steel turret, made of basalt, hung in the air.

Twelve feet long and three feet high, fifteen heavy cannons were lined up, thick metal tubes poking out of the turret, and a bed crossbow was placed on the edge of the turret.

On the surface of the steel turret, dense and complicated array patterns are lit up, inscribed with thirty large formations, including but not limited to defense formations, teleportation formations, floating formations, and spirit gathering formations ………

In the center of the turret stood a man with mediocre features, carrying a painting in his left hand:

Let everyone enter the Floating Pagoda!

Carrying a painting in his right hand:

Or else raze the Temple of the Three Flowers to the ground!

“Yes, a warlock?”

“This, what kind of monster is this?”

Someone muttered.

Being a jianghu person, rich in experience but limited in vision, coupled with the scarcity of warlocks, they were almost extinct in the jianghu in the past days. Therefore, the heroes and heroines of Leizhou could hardly see the tawdry operations of warlocks.

The floating steel turret, to their eyes, was incredible, painted in a style that was out of place in the current era.

Dongfang Wanrong’s jaw dropped, she herself was in control of a magic weapon called “Wind Boat”, which only had wind control and defense formations, and was used as a large-scale flying magic weapon.

Just like that, the Royal Wind Boat was enough to be listed as one of the twelve magic weapons of the Witch God Sect.

As for this floating turret that appeared in front of him, the Royal Wind Boat was clearly not in the same class as it.

In some ways, the Warlock system is just sick.

However, according to Dongfang Wanrong’s judgment, similar magic weapons were extremely costly to refine and could not be mass-produced. Otherwise, Da Feng would have long ago unified the nine states.

“Sun Xuanji!”

From the depths of the temple, came the thunderous voice of the Dharma Protector Vajra.

Sun Xuanji faintly said, “Uh-huh!”

As he spoke, he raised the word in his hand again to show that he wasn’t joking.

With the firepower from the battery, a few rounds of this, the Three Flowers Temple would be razed to the ground, the Protector Vajra was not afraid of this firepower output, but the monks in the temple, as well as this centuries old temple, would definitely be difficult to save.

Yuan Yi’s eyebrows jumped in surprise, “Your Excellency is the Supervisor Zheng’s second disciple, the Third Grade Warlock Sun Xuanji?”

With the noble status of the Leizhou Commander-in-Chief, he naturally knew of the figure of Sun Xuanji.

Capital Commander, is a state of the largest real power of the figure, the whole big Feng, such a figure only thirteen, the real feudal officials.

“Uh-huh!”

Sun Xuanji nodded.

The crowd at the bottom was in an uproar, they vaguely guessed the Warlock status of the visitor based on the iconic white clothes, but they didn’t expect it to be the second disciple of the Supervisor, a third grade Warlock.

This is a warlock who spares no words, and is a high class person in every way.

And such a character is suspected to have been summoned by that green-clothed master.

For a while, there were a few more speculations and curiosities in the gazes of the crowd as they looked at Xu Qi’an.

And what is this person’s identity?

He just blew the conch, and immediately after that, this white clothed warlock appeared ………. Liu Yun pursed her lips, and her eyes kept swirling around the man in green.

Li Lingsu stared with wide eyes, unable to say whether it was disappointment or shock, or both.

He could summon Sun Xuanji so easily, proving that the words he said on that day when he played against Supervisor Zheng were true and not a lie ……… The reason why he summoned Sun Xuanji was that he felt that Vajra and Spirit Wisdom Master were not worthy of his hand …… …

The Heavenly Sect Saint Son secretly guessed.

“May!”

After a moment of silence, Vajra from the depths of the temple said.

Seeing this, Xu Qi’an was relieved.

Sun Xuanji’s hostage cannon threat was a countermeasure that had long been negotiated, and he was responsible for receiving it outside. But if only Xu Qi’an entered the Faustian Pagoda on his own, this made it compelling.

After entering the tower, it was easy to be targeted by the experts of the Witch God Sect and the Buddhist Sect, which led to the ploy of spreading the news and attracting the great heroes of the jianghu.

He hid among a group of pikers and kept a low profile, and even though he was targeted because of the operation he had just performed, the jianghu people could act as helpers and not be alone.

Seeing the Buddhist Vajra compromise, the Leizhou magnates showed joyful faces, their backs instantly straightened, and the atmosphere of atrophy and decadence was swept away.

“Antidote!”

Monk Pureheart looked toward Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an laughed softly, “Throw him over.”

Monk Pureheart’s palm rested on the middle-aged martial monk’s back, sending him lightly in front of Xu Qi’an.

The latter stretched out his finger and pointed it at the end of the middle-aged martial monk’s nose, and a wisp of greenish-black mist gushed out and was seized back by the finger.

As the poisonous gas was withdrawn, the middle-aged martial monk’s blackened face gradually returned to its normal blood color, but he remained unconscious.

“He will wake up in an hour. And then the body will heal after a few days of recuperation.”

Xu Qi’an threw him back.

Monk Pure Heart probed his hand to receive the middle-aged martial monk and folded his hands, then he led the monks of the Three Flowers Monastery and retreated back into the temple.

Li Shaoyun, the general of Zhenfu, carried his lance and said excitedly:

“Lord Yuan, come on, let’s go in.”

Take a step forward and lead the way into the temple.

The crowd followed.

Passing through a large hall, the three parties quickly arrived at their destination, and in the depths of the temple, a huge pagoda towered.

With white walls and black tiles, at first glance, it didn’t look like a Dharma treasure at all, but more like a normal pagoda.

The only odd thing about it was that it was a hundred meters tall, yet the tower only had three windows, symbolizing three floors.

In addition, the door of the tower was a dark gold color, as if it were cast in gold. There was no door ring, no keyhole, and it was tightly closed.

Three parties gathered outside the pontoon pagoda, silent confrontation, Leizhou local good men, frequently look up to see the sky, the heart of the pontoon pagoda in previous years to calculate the opening hour.

Getting closer and closer …….

Rumble!

The tower vibrated dully, and the dark golden tower door slowly opened.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the door, but saw only darkness.

“Amitabha!”

Monk Pureheart clasped his hands together and bowed towards the Floating Pagoda, taking the lead towards the tower, his red and yellow robe swaying.

“Amitabha!”

In the sound of chanting Buddha’s name, the stout young martial monk Jinyuan, and the head monk Heng Yin followed, while behind the two were nine martial monks, and nine Zen masters.

Two Zen masters, one martial arts monk, the other eighteen people have high and low cultivation ……… Xu Qi an swept a glance and knew that these twenty one monks who entered the tower were the competitors that he would deal with later.

“Little bitch, you’d better not come in here, or Auntie will make sure that today is your day of sacrifice.”

The delicate and voluptuous Dongfang Wanrong turned around and glanced at Wenren Qianru with a smile.

The Eastern Sisters led the disciples of the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea and entered the pagoda.

Li Lingsu sniffed, a grimace and a brain ache.

“Do you need me to help you slaughter the sisters?”

Xu Qi’an teasingly transmitted, “Saving you from hiding all day.”

Li Lingsu hurriedly shook his head and transmitted his voice to reply, “Don’t, senior, you might as well slaughter me.”

I just said it casually, two peaks of the fourth grade, I can t kill ……… Xu Qi an eyed Yuan Yi and Li Shaoyun with their subordinates into the tower, and immediately no longer hesitated, mingled in the jianghu martial artists into the tower.

“Let’s go in too, let’s go in too!”

The little white fox tries to struggle out from Mu Nanjia’s arms, unsuccessful, had to change to compel: “Go in with him to play.”

“How dare you enter the place of the Buddhist Sect?”

Mu Nanjian glanced at the newborn, curious little fox.

The little white fox thought for a moment, remembering what his fellow clansmen had said, about the terrible legends of the Buddhist sect, and weakly said:

“Also, not really wanting to go.”

Her head rested on her warm chest, basking in the early winter sun, and her clear, childish voice said:

“Auntie, what is your relationship with, with him?”

“It doesn’t matter much.”

“Oh!”

The little white fox was instantly relieved, and thought that what Mu Nanjia said was the truth, because a mediocre woman like this was not worthy of Xu Yin Gong.

Only a fox with a combination of talent and beauty would be worthy of Xu Yinluo.

“Does he go to the Churchyard often.” The little white fox asked again.

“You even know about the Department of Education?” Mu Nanjian was taken aback.

“Although I haven’t spent any time in a human city, I’ve seen a lot of things, such as how human women often refer to women who are more beautiful than themselves as vixens. A vixen is a symbol of beauty and talent combined in the human world.”

The little white fox bragged about his knowledge.

“Who told you that?” Munanjian laughed.

“My people.”

This is very fox clan ……… Mu Nanjia muttered in his heart, smiling and said, “In the eyes of human women, maybe it is the fox spirit that is the most beautiful, but in the eyes of human men, there is only one most beautiful woman in this world.”

“Who is it!” The little white fox asked.

“The first beauty of Dafeng, Princess Zhenbei.” Mu Nanjia said with a serious face.

She originally wanted to say “Munanjia”, but considering that this would reveal unnecessary information, she changed to a more colloquial title.

The little white fox gave a humanized, admiring expression.

At this time, Mu Nanjian saw the old presiding officer of the Three Flowers Temple, touching a fist-sized bead from his robe.

The beads shifted with light, reflecting the figures of Pure Heart and the others in a large, golden hall.

“Great!”

A soft chuckle came from Irb.

The Buddha Pagoda isolates the outside world from prying eyes, and this Mirror Beast Teardrop is the key to maintaining the “friendship” between the two sides.

………..

After stepping into the Floating Pagoda, Xu Qi’an looked around and realized that he was within the spacious and unimaginably large hall.

This great hall had no dome and looked up into the clouds.

At the end of the hall was a golden Buddha more than ten feet tall, like a small mountain.

This Buddha is kind but majestic, with fat earlobes and a head that is a curly little lump in the center.

Even people who don’t worship Buddha can recognize who he is if they have been in the temple.

Buddha!

On the left side of the Buddha are thirteen golden figures and on the right side are fourteen golden figures.

They were both male and female, and they all had rings behind their heads of different styles, some of them flames, some of them outlining knobbly lines, like the copper disk of a sketchy sun, to name a few.

Interestingly, nine of the golden bodies have blurred faces.

Xu Qi’an calmly looked around, the spaciousness of this hall surpassed the limit of what the Floating Pagoda could accommodate, at least from the outside, the Floating Pagoda could not accommodate this hall internally.

Buddha realm ……… This scene of déjà vu reminded him of the golden bowl of the Doi Luohan during the Buddha s fight that day.

Within the golden bowl lies the realm of the Buddha.

“The Buddhists are very good at this kind of magical power, ah, I remember that on the way back to the capital from Yunzhou, I dreamt of the Battle of Shanhaiguan twenty years ago, and there was a scene in which a certain Buddhist monk leapt out of the palm of his hand with a thousand armies and horses.”

“Maybe at that time the high monk had a magic weapon similar to a golden bowl in his hand, the army was income of the Buddha realm ……… In addition, these local natives are so calm.”

The jianghu heroes of Leizhou, who witnessed this scene with their own eyes, didn’t seem surprised and were relatively calm.

“By the way, Wenren Qianru said that the Floating Pagoda opens once a year, and if one passes the pagoda’s trial, one can worship the Three Flowers Temple and become a Buddhist disciple. Those who didn’t pass the trial will definitely spread the word about what they saw in the pagoda when they go out.”

Xu Qi’an drifted off.

“Amitabha!”

Monk Pureheart brought the Buddhist monks together to salute.

He turned around and said towards the East Sea Dragon Palace, as well as a group of Leizhou people:

“The golden body here is the Buddha of Great Compassion and Great Compassion, the only Buddha in all worlds, in the center. The left three and right four golden bodies are the nine Bodhisattvas of the Buddha Sect. The remaining ones are the eighteen Lohans.”

Good lord, King Kong doesn’t even have the qualifications to set up a golden body?

Xu Qi’an said in a loud voice, “Monk, why are the faces of the nine Bodhisattvas blurred?”

Monk Pure Heart has the answer to the question, “These nine golden bodies signify the nine dharmas, and do not refer to a particular bodhisattva alone.”

At those words, most people were bewildered, while Xu Qi’an came to a sudden realization.

Monk Pureheart froze, scrutinized Xu Qi’an, and asked remotely, “Do you know about the Nine Great Dharma Phases?”

Xu Qi’an nodded, “Vajra Rage, Unmovable King, Great Wheel of Reincarnation, Great Compassion, Great Wisdom, Medicine Master, Walker, Colorless Glaze, and Great Sun Ruler.”

The monks of the Temple of the Three Flowers stirred and exchanged words.

Pureheart gazed deeply at Xu Qi’an.

“Huh, he’s right? The monk from the Three Flower Temple didn’t refute it.”

“I had heard that the Buddha Sect has nine Dharma Phases, so it’s these nine, who is this person that he knows so much about the Buddha Sect.”

“And what are the nine great phantoms so divine?” Someone asked loudly, expecting Xu Qi’an to answer.

Now, experts such as Double Blade Sect Master Tang Yuanwu, Liu Yun, and Du Commander Yuan Yi looked at each other.

How do I know, I have not fought with the Bodhisattvas ………. Xu Qi’an smiled freely:

“Walker Dharma, the speed of the world’s best, traveling towards the West and twilight Jing Mountain. Colorless glaze, on the other hand, enables the heart to be as clear as a mirror, with no thoughts and sluggish thoughts.”

Speaking here, he snorted, seemingly too lazy to continue explaining, and said, “Other Dharma Phases, as the name suggests, can be comprehended.”

Really …….. When the crowd heard this, they subconsciously looked at Pure Heart and the other monks, but they saw the slightly dull faces of Pure Heart and Pure Edge, as well as Heng Yin, the head of the Three Flowers Monastery.

It was true! The thought flashed across the crowd’s minds with a huff.

“Hiss ……..”

Li Shaoyun leaned on his gun, looked back at Xu Qi’an, and grinned, “Hey, what kind of person are you kid to know so much.”

Yuan Yi reminded, “It could also be seniors.”

On the other side, Dongfang Wanrong asked her sister in a low voice, “Is it him?”

Dongfang Wanqing shook her head, “It’s impossible to conclude, this person doesn’t look simple, and is a bit different from the green-clothed man in Pingzhou.”

Having seen the middle-aged martial monk poisoned just now, the two Eastern sisters suspected that this green-robed man was the same green-robed man they had encountered in Pingzhou that day.

The common denominator is that they are both good with poison.

However, his appearance was different, and no traces of disguise could be seen. In addition, the woman of mediocre appearance who had followed him was also gone.

Most importantly, to the very end, he had never seen this green-robed man perform the dark compulsion tactic, so he didn’t quite dare to be sure.

Dongfang Wanqing continued, “Pingzhou is a long way from Leizhou, so it’s reasonable to say that they didn’t arrive in Leizhou so quickly.”

The charming sister frowned and said, “As you saw just now, this person is acquainted with the warlock of the Sithian Supervisor, if he leads the way, would this be reasonable.”

Dongfang Wanqing said indifferently, “First of all, you have to prove that the green-robed man in Pingzhou is acquainted with the Sithian Supervisor Warlock.”

After a pause, she said, “There’s no point in guessing blindly, find a chance to try him later and force him to use dark compulsion means.”

Xu Qi’an was unaware of the calculations of the two Eastern sisters, his gaze fixed on the twenty-seven golden bodies beyond the Buddha, trying his best to discern which of the golden bodies represented the Divine Distinction.

The eighteen Lohan golden bodies were the first to be ruled out; the Lohans possessed clear faces, and Xu Qi’an had seen Shenshu’s appearance and confirmed that he was not among them.

If Shenshu is also among them, it can only be one of the nine Bodhisattvas, no, no, those nine golden bodies represent the nine Dharmas, not someone alone ………. Well, at least it can be confirmed that Shenshu is not a luohan.

Monk Pureheart stopped talking and led the monks, toward the Buddha’s golden body.

The golden bodies of Lohan and Bodhisattvas were erected on both sides of the road.

As they brushed past the first Lohan golden body, their forward pace suddenly slowed, pausing for three seconds with each step.

Xu Qi’an saw this and was unsure.

The imperious Liu Yun leaned over slowly and whispered:

“Your Excellency knows that this Floating Pagoda opens once a year, but anyone who wishes to worship the Three Flowers Temple needs to enter the Floating Pagoda to try out.”

Xu Qi’an nodded calmly.

“According to the Three Flowers Monastery, this is called measuring Buddha nature. Those with Buddha nature can enter the Buddha’s door. Those without Buddha nature have no connection to Buddha.” Liu Yun’s gaze looked towards Pure Heart and the others and said:

“If you walk along this path and take a hundred paces under the “gaze” of the Lohan and Bodhisattvas, you are a person who has a relationship with the Buddha. Within a hundred paces, there is no Buddha nature. I have heard those who have entered the Floating Pagoda say that it is difficult to walk along this path.”

Xu Qi’an mused, “What if it’s a martial monk?”

Martial monks and Zen masters follow different paths, this Buddha nature, how to define it?

Liu Yun bristled and said, ”Those martial artists present who can step into the Sixth Grade basically all have the Buddha nature. To the Buddhist Sect, those who can enter the Sixth Grade are all qualified. Why wouldn’t they want such people? There is no way to reject them. Of course, those who practice Buddhism must also have Buddha nature.

“Look, the monk from the Temple of the Three Flowers is walking faster than the others.”

Xu Qi’an followed her gaze, at this time, all parties had already stepped onto the “Road of Trials”, with three distinct echelons.

The monk of the Temple of the Three Flowers rode on with a steady stride.

Followed by the Eastern Sisters, Li Shaoyun, Yuan Yi, and Tang Yuanwu, who were the fourth rank.

And finally, the jungle people of Lehigh.

“Your Excellency is not going?” Liu Yun asked.

“I’ll look again.” Xu Qi’an gazed away.

“My little lady will take a step ahead.” After Liu Yun finished speaking, she quickly followed the large group, her pace was hurried and she suddenly slowed down in front of the first Paragon.

Each step was taken nearly ten seconds apart, giving the impression that it was a difficult step to take.

After a while, Master Heng Yin, the head of the Three Flowers Monastery, who was pulling further and further away from the crowd, glanced back at the crowd with a smile on his face and folded his hands:

“Gentlemen, walk to where the Buddha sits and make thirteen joint obeisances, and then you will be able to go to the second level. The poor monk is waiting for you all there.”

It was as if he was deriding the crowd.

Hopping thirteen worship, you can enter the second level ……… Xu Qi an dawned, no longer hesitant, and tentatively walked forward.

About to brush up against the first Rohan golden body, he could slow down and take a tentative step.

However, there is no blockage.

Take a second step.

Again, he did not feel the pressure of Rohan’s “gaze” and walked as he normally would.

Is this because my Buddha nature (qualification) is too good? No, no matter how good the qualification is, it is not possible to be completely free of the feeling of oppression, and a fourth grade Zen master like Pure Heart can t even walk ……… freely Things went wrong, and Xu Qi an dared not advance instead.

It s not a question of qualification, it s that I have a unique feature in myself, but I don t have a crossroads with the Buddhist Sect ……… He suddenly figured out that he and the Buddhist Sect have a great cause and effect.

This cause and effect comes from the idea of Mahayana Buddhism.

He immediately remembered that Duo Yu Luohan had called him a Buddha’s son, and that Liuli Bodhisattva had wanted to capture him back to the Buddha’s Sect as a Buddha’s son of the Four Great Sacred Ones.

At the time, Xu Qi’an thought that they were appreciating his “talent”, but now it seemed that the truth was not that simple.

He may have really become a son of Buddha, and when he expounded the concept of the Dacheng Dharma, he created a great karmic connection with the Buddhist Sect.

That’s why the glazed Bodhisattva wanted to take him back to recluse himself.
