    Chapter 531 – The Floating Pagoda

    The disciples of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and the monks of the Three Flowers Monastery simultaneously turned their heads and looked toward the open door of the Floating Pagoda.

    “What goes in, comes out!”

    Duo Nang Vajra said lightly, the ring of fire behind his head burning, bringing scorching heat that made the people around him feel as if they had come to the heat of summer.

    This is the territory of the Three Flowers Temple, the Faustus Pagoda is the most precious treasure of the Buddhist Sect, even if it takes away the dragon qi always comes out, want to rob the dragon qi under the eyes of the Buddhist Sect, how can it be so simple.

    Although before this, Du Nang Vajra hadn’t thought that the dragon’s qi would be taken away, but even if he really encountered such a situation, he didn’t think that the dragon’s qi would be able to leave the Floating Pagoda and the Three Flowers Monastery under his nose.

    “Amitabha!”

    The presiding officer of the Three Flowers Temple watched his beloved disciple and successor die with his own eyes and mourned, saying:

    “The Floating Pagoda is opened once in a year, twelve hours each time. When the hour is up, the doors will close by themselves, and the Duo Difficulty Vajra, might as well let those remain in the tower forever, bearing their own evil consequences.”

    Irb, who wore a hood that only showed half of his face, laughed, “Not a bad idea.”

    Nettlesome nodded.

    The third grade could not enter the Floating Pagoda, but a Bodhisattva of the first grade could enter, and there was no need to wait until after a year’s time, when the atmosphere in Aranta was no longer so saber-rattling, and a Bodhisattva would come over to collect the dragon’s qi.

    It was just a pity that when the time came, it would be hard to say if the dragon’s energy was still given to him.

    The Buddhist Sect did not lose its Dragon Qi, but he did lose a great opportunity, and at the thought of this, the Pure Heart inevitably surged with anger.

    “Amitabha!”

    He whirled around and chanted the Buddha’s name in a low voice to get rid of his emotions.

    Zen masters practice mindfulness and follow the path of mindfulness alone, unlike martial arts monks, who eat wine, drink meat and kill people without any inhibitions.

    “Not good.”

    Li Ling Su let out a hiss and analyzed, “With Vajra and Spirit Wisdom Master sitting at the tower gate, if we want to receive them from the outside, we must repel them.”

    But even with the Warlock’s fancy, it was impossible to shake the Protector Vajra, let alone a Spiritual Wisdom Master.

    Mu Nanjian’s brows furrowed, and the arms holding the little white fox unconsciously exerted themselves.

    “Veins.”

    At that moment, Sun Xuanji said another word, and after that, he gently stepped his foot, and the formation patterns inscribed on the turrets lit up one by one.

    Selling? What’s he selling?

    Li Ling Su was completely unintelligible and couldn’t think about it in detail before he saw the cannonballs in the basket flying up since and completing the filling.

    Immediately after that, with the sound of “Boom Boom Boom”, fifteen cannons backed up in unison, and the barrels of the cannons shot out a single shell.

    The ringing sound of bed crossbow bowstring trembling was synchronized, and a crossbow arrow as thick as a bowl and as tall as a man shot out.

    Duo Nang Vajra dodged and blocked the door of the tower, his hands raised and pushed hard into the sky.

    He pushed out an invisible, wave-like wall of air, causing bed crossbows to snap in the air and cannonballs to blow up in the air.

    A ball of fire exploded in mid-air, like dazzling fireworks.

    Boom boom boom!

    The second wave of attacks followed, but the targets were no longer the likes of Duran Vajra, the turrets had appeared behind the tower at some point and were pouring firepower downwards.

    Mu Nan gardenia stood staring at the edge of the turret, watching the shells bombarded on the Floating Pagoda, blowing the walls chapped and peeling off the wall skin piece by piece, revealing the dark golden tower body inside.

    Not long after, the Floating Pagoda turned mottled, with irregular dark gold and white walls intertwined.

    The white walls and black tiles were just a cover, the Floating Pagoda itself was a magic treasure, one that the First Grade Bodhisattva had warmed up for endless years.

    Such intensive firepower couldn’t even shake half a point . Li Lingsu just had a feeling in his heart, when a flash of light appeared in front of his eyes and the turret teleported again.

    In the void where the original turret was located, Ilbu’s figure suddenly appeared, and Sun Xuanji sensed the crisis in advance, avoiding the Spirit Wisdom Master’s pounce.

    Both sides chased each other through the air, and Sun Xuanji ignored Irb, firing insistently downwards.

    He’s forcing Du Nhan Vajra to make a move.

    The Eastern Sisters and the monks of the Three Flowers Monastery once again fled into the first floor of the Floating Pagoda, and compared to Xu Qi’an’s artillery output inside the tower, Sun Xuanji’s artillery was several times more powerful.

    Even a Fourth Grade Martial Monk wouldn’t dare to take it easily.

    Du Nang Vajra stood motionless in front of the tower, Vajra Divine Power protecting his body, the power of the artillery could not be a threat to him.

    “If the Temple of the Three Flowers is destroyed, then it’s destroyed, and rebuilding it is. I’d like to see how many cannonballs and crossbows you can have.”

    The voice of the Vajra of Dhritarashtra was “buzzing”.

    “Spellbinding!”

    After another lunge, Ilb chose to perform the Wizard’s signature stunt.

    However, the spell-killing technique failed to make a mark; without a medium, the spell-killing technique cast across the air was not strong enough to break through the array’s shielding and affect Sun Xuanji.

    Instead, Irb took a shot and flew backwards in a slight mess.

    Li Lingsu, however, is not happy at all, his eyes are still there, at first glance Sun Xuanji swims with ease and steadily prevails, in fact, the Buddha Sect is the real ripple.

    “There’s a fight outside.”

    “Are the warlocks of the Sithinian receiving us to rush out?”

    “Looking for death? Can’t you see the Dharma Protector Vajra guarding the door?”

    “Now we can only hope for that Supervisor’s second disciple.”

    The Leizhou martial artists had a clear understanding of their situation; snatching the treasure and repelling the Buddhist sect did not mean that things were over.

    Being able to safely leave the Floating Pagoda is the key, it is good that the other party has a third grade expert, and their own side also has one, the artisan of the Divine Superintendent of the Heavenly Palace fights one against two with ease, it is really powerful.

    At the window opening in the south, Li Shaoyun, Yuan Yi, and Tang Yuanwu gathered at the window. The Zhenfu general, who was leaning on his lance, glanced back at Xu Qian in green in the distance and whispered:

    “Can’t seem to get out?”

    Tang Yuanwu’s face was grave, his brows locked, “The Floating Pagoda is only open for twelve hours, if we can’t leave before then, we’ll be trapped to death here.”

    Yuan Yi added, “It’s impossible for Sun Xuanji to defeat two Third Grade, especially with the Protector Vajra. We can’t pin our hopes on him.”

    Li Shaoyun let out a “tsk” and frowned bitterly, “I think that old monk is quite easy-going, why don’t we beg him to send us out?”

    The Commander of all commanders glanced at the Tower Spirit, who was sitting with his eyes closed, and shook his head:

    “He doesn’t even help the Buddhist monks, how could he help us.”

    “It’s not like you need silver to try it.”

    Li Shaoyun walked over with his gun on his shoulder, folded his arms in a decent manner, and said, “Master, please let us out.”

    The old monk lowered his eyes and smiled, “The road is at the feet of the Shi Master, so you can leave.”

    Li Shaoyun’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly fell to his knees, folding his hands together in grief, “Master ah, I have a ninety year old mother at home, and a young son waiting to be fed, for the sake of there is still a large family for me to feed, I beg you to send us out.”

    The old monk moved slightly and asked, “What is your seniority?”

    “Twenty-five.”

    “Are there any siblings in the family?”

    “No no, my Lee family has been single for generations.”

    The old monk said, “Your mother gave birth to you at the age of sixty-five?”

    Li Shaoyun’s face stiffened violently, and his voice got stuck in his throat, he opened his mouth to find a suitable explanation for himself, but he was too speechless to speak.

    I thought to myself, “How the hell does this tower spirit know how to count?

    Li Shaoyun cursed and walked away.    He returned to Yuan Yi and Tang Yuanwu’s side, his face grave: “Not good, not only is this old monk ruthless, he even has a hand for unpredictable arithmetic.”

    The Twin Swords Sect Master and the Commander of the Capital Commanders looked at him with expressionless faces.

    “It’s as if I see the words “crude martial artist” in your eyes.” Li Shaoyun said unhappily.

    “No.”

    “We didn’t find Wulf crude.”

    “I always feel like you guys are making a sly comment. What should I do now?” Li Shaoyun said helplessly.

    The Twin Blades Sect Master didn’t say anything, while Yuan Yi turned his head to look at Xu Qian.

    “It’s just up to him.”

    “Now is the best opportunity to unseal Shenshu, freeing this arm, since piecing together Shenshu’s soul, and borrowing the power of the broken arm to solve the predicament at hand.”

    Xu Qi’an slowly leaned towards Shenshu’s severed arm, and in the process, he always paid attention to the tower spirit’s reaction, testing the other party’s bottom line.

    Surprisingly, the Old Monk of the Tower Spirit drooped his folded and downcast eyes, paying no heed to the crowd within the tower, including Xu Qi’an.

    Xu Qi’an stopped three feet away and scrutinized Shenshu’s severed arm, a left arm that was greenish-black in color, with gnarled muscles, smooth lines, and perfect proportions; rather than an arm, it was actually more like a work of art.

    It was entangled in nine dark golden, finger-thick chains, the other ends of which were embedded in the ground, the walls, and the columns.

    “Try to wake it up first.”

    Xu Qi’an squinted to observe the old monk Taling, seeing that he was still so Buddhist, he was slightly pleased in his heart, and gently snapped the shards of the ground book to take out the anklet that his sister-in-law, Bai Ji, had sent to him from a thousand miles away.

    Ding ding ding!

    He gently shook his anklet and the bell made a crisp sound.

    The bell continued to ring, and after ten seconds or so, Xu Qi’an saw the index finger of the left hand of that severed arm, move a little.

    The image gave him the illusion of watching a horror movie.

    With the crisp ringing of the bell, the finger moved faster and faster, it completely came to life, this broken arm used the finger as a foot, crawling fast, but was firmly entangled by the chain, left and right, the chain collapsed straight.

    Xu Qi’an gripped her anklet, her expression stiff as she stepped back, a little bit.

    His face was extremely ugly as he felt a strong malice from this severed arm, no less than that of an Earth Sect Dao Head.

    Shenshu was by no means a good person, this was something that had been known for a long time, no matter whether it was the evilness displayed when he possessed Heng Hui, or the crazy tendencies that he occasionally revealed, they were all telling Xu Qi’an that Shenshu was a dangerous person.

    But the right arm underneath Sampo is mostly good, while the left arm sealed in Leizhou clearly belongs to the “evil” camp, which is very different from the friendly right arm.

    “I now have my cultivation sealed, and Shenshu (right) is sleeping, lacking the ability to respond to risks …”

    Xu Qi’an’s heart slowly sank to the bottom.

    “Damn it, this kind of stump cannot be released, I dare conclude that once I release this severed arm, it will immediately backfire on me. Moreover, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the outside world, it will devour life and seize essence blood regardless”

    He gripped his ankle bracelet tightly, frustrated and annoyed and helpless, emotions that were very rare for him nowadays.

    “Amitabha!”

    Old Monk Taling, who had appeared at his side at some point, closed his arms and smiled:

    “Good and evil are often a matter of thought.”

    Xu Qi’an took two steps back in shock at his sudden hitch.

    He is really paying attention to me, to be precise, he is paying attention to Shenshu Xu Qi an quietly hid his anklet and deliberated:

    “This severed arm is filled with malice, who is his owner?”

    Old Monk Taling said in a deep voice, “A man of extremes, good and evil are at both poles.”

    “The Nalan Yushi of the Second Grade was suppressed on the second level, but this broken arm is suppressed on the third level, so it’s clear that the owner is an extremely terrifying figure. If it breaks free, what consequences will it bring?”

    Xu Qi’an was prying for information about Shenshu while thinking hard about a good plan to escape.

    Old Monk Taling put away his smile and was full of seriousness, “The spirits are in abundance!”

    “.”

    Originally, in his plan, the crushing means to break away from the Floating Pagoda was Shenshu’s severed arm.

    The right hand is so powerful, the left hand must not be bad, but it is not necessarily so, must monks are single dogs, single dogs cultivate the unicorn arm, usually the right hand.

    But even if the left hand was slightly worse, it wouldn’t be too much worse, and it would be more than enough to deal with the third grade vajra thought outside.

    As it turned out, the broken arm that was suppressed in the Floating Pagoda was the evil thought of Shenshu.

    “Trying to unseal it must be difficult as well.” Xu Qi’an gathered his emotions and tried.

    Old Monk Taling gave him a look and said:

    “Five hundred years ago, the Supervisor and the Buddhist Sect used this pagoda as a vehicle to set up a formation to seal the ferocious creature.

    “The Pagoda of the Floating Pagoda is the Dharma Treasure of the Bodhisattva Faji, and on the first level there is the precept of “not killing”, so that any cultivator of any system below the third level, if they are included in it, will not be able to do anything.

    “On the second level, there are thirty-six vajra phantoms known as `Prison Suppressors’, which can suppress second-grade experts. When facing the enemy, the owner of the magic treasure can mobilize the power of the prison to suppress the enemy.

    “The two golden bodies on the third level are the Great Wisdom Dharma Phantom and the Medicine Master Dharma Phantom practiced by Dharma Ji Bodhisattva, which have 70% of the power of the original Dharma Phantom. They can enlighten and save people, but they cannot fight against the enemy.”

    Enlightenment? That’s what my Suzume needs. Xu Qi’an remembered his own young sister who wore a child’s bun.

    If the Great Wisdom Dharma can be used to enlighten Suzaku, the stupid child will evolve from a scumbag who is “good in the beginning” to a bully who recites the Three Character Sutra backwards and forwards.

    It can suppress, control, save, and enlighten, this Floating Pagoda is too strong. It is worthy of being a first-rate Bodhisattva’s ritualized magic treasure.

    As well, the Buddha Sect chose to use it to suppress Shenshu precisely because it was high enough in rank and strong enough in its role.

    If I had such a strong magic treasure, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time killing Emperor Yuan Jing in the first place, and I wouldn’t have been in such a mess when I had a showdown with Xu Pingfeng.

    As he floated around, Old Monk Taling asked again, “Your Excellency has the ability to unseal Supervisor Zheng’s seal, but cannot unseal mine.”

    He knew, he knew everything Xu Qi’an’s face froze once again.

    Just as Xu Qi’an was thinking about how to respond, the old monk folded his hands and gently said:

    “The Buddha says that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so the poor monk is willing to give the mister a chance to allow you to unseal it and release it.”

    Xu Qi’an was stunned.

    Seeing his questioning and bewildered face, the old monk folded his arms and said:

    “A monk does not lie.”

    Xu Qi’an was still disbelieving, “You really agree that I should release it?”

    Monk Taling smiled and nodded.

    Xu Qi’an turned his head to look at the left arm that was radiating malice and kept rushing against the seal.

    No matter what, let’s release Shenshu first and kill the Three Flowers Monastery, the dragon’s energy is vital, it can’t fall into the hands of the Buddha Sect

    No, I can’t control Shenshu’s broken arm yet, once I release it, it’s bound to go out of control, I don’t know how many people will die in Leizhou then.

    Two thoughts, like two little people, clashed and fought fiercely in his head.

    The anklet in Xu Qi’an’s hand clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, and so on several times as he whispered:

    “Just.”

    The tower spirit old monk revealed a pleased smile, “Good and evil are just a thought away, the monk has passed the test, from today onwards, you are the master of the Floating Pagoda.”

    As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently beckoned, and a faint flash of golden light flew out from Xu Qi’an’s arms.
