Chapter 534 – Communicating with Shenshu

Pure Heart took a deep breath to calm his agitated heart and said, “Uncle Dounan, are you saying that he ……..”

Du Nang Vajra said indifferently, “Aside from not knowing why the Floating Pagoda went with him, this seat can basically conclude that it is this person.”

The Pure Edge Martial Monk said in a deep voice, “He, he still dares to come out and walk the rivers and lakes? People who want to kill him abound, truly bold.”

All the monks in the Western Region looked agitated, and even a Zen master like Pure Heart nearly lost control of his emotions just now.

The monks of the Three Flowers Temple were in the clouds, and the Panlong Presiding Officer glanced at Pure Heart and Pure Edge, and then at the Dharma Protector Vajra, and asked:

“Elder Brother Du Nan seems to recognize this person?”

Without replying, Duo Nang Vajra spoke in a low tone, “Everyone withdraws and may not approach.”

The monks exchanged glances, rose in silence, bowed and folded their arms, and left the meditation room.

When everyone had retreated, Du Nang Vajra took out from his robe a bronze mirror with a vajra’s angry eyes carved on the back and placed it on the futon at his side.

His lips opened and closed as he wordlessly recited the incantation, and in a moment, the bronze mirror shot out a soft golden light that struck the beam.

Amidst the golden light, a slightly illusory phantom sat.

This phantom was golden in color, beardless and eyebrow-less, as if cast in gold, with gnarled muscles and a sense of power.

As soon as he appeared, the room was filled with an aura of supreme rigidity and yang, as thick as a high mountain and as vast as the sea; this was not a materialization of power, but rather the meaning symbolized by the phantasm.

“Garuda Tree Bodhisattva!”

Duo Nang Vajra clasped his hands together, hung his head slightly, and made a bow.

Garuda Tree, the first of the four great Bodhisattvas.

Controlling the Vajra Dharma phase and the Unmovable King Dharma phase, he is the first person in the Buddhist Sect in terms of battle power.

The Vajra Divine Skill, which was claimed to have unparalleled defense, was a simplified version of the Vajra Dharma Phase.

“What is it?”

The Dharma Phase did not speak, but a misty and majestic voice came from the void.

“The Buddha’s son has appeared, how is it determined?”

Du Nang Vajra told the original story of the fight for the dragon’s energy and the seizure of the Floating Pagoda.

The Vajra Dharma Phase gazed at his brows for a long time and slowly said, “Call me again in a quarter of an hour.”

After saying that, the Vajra Dharma phase dissipated.

A quarter of an hour later ……… Duo Nang Vajra knew that Garuda Tree Bodhisattva was going to convene the top level of the Buddhist sect to discuss this matter.

In the sacred mountain of Alanta, leaving aside the Bodhisattva Dharma Ji, who has been missing for more than three hundred years, there are now two Lohans, two Vajrapani, and three Bodhisattvas. Among them, two Vajrapani and one Lohan are unswervingly in favor of Garuda Tree Bodhisattva and the Hinayana Dharma.

On the other hand, Guangxian Bodhisattva and Duoyu Lohan advocate abandoning the Hinayana and practicing the Mahayana.

Liuli Bodhisattva belonged to the neutral school, but was more in favor of Mahayana Buddhism; otherwise, she would not have personally gone to Dafeng that day to try to bring the Buddha’s son back to Alanta.

………..

“Amitabha!”

Outside, Pan Long presided over the puzzled: “Jing Xin master nephew, that Xu Qian, seems to have another layer of identity?”

He knew that Xu Qian wasn’t simple, what he didn’t know was who the hidden layer of his identity actually was. Based on the conversation between Pure Heart and the others just now, it seemed that Xu Qian’s true identity had been realized.

Just now, Pure Heart and Pure Edge’s several people lost their temper, and the Panlong Presiding Officer saw it in his eyes.

An idle person would not be enough to make two fourth grade experts lose their temper like this, much less make it possible for Deity Difficulty Vajra to hold back the crowd.

Pure Edge hummed, “Who else could it be, Xu Qian is Xu Qi’an.”

Xu, Xu Qi An …….. Pan Long host only felt that there was heavenly thunder in his head, smashing down one after another, his face changed again and again, and only after a long time did he slow down, folding his hands together and reciting the Buddha’s name several times in succession.

When he was completely calm, he said in a deep voice, ”Why is that so? Rumor has it that that Xu Qi’an is already a third grade martial artist. If it’s really him, within the Floating Pagoda ……..”

Pure Heart shook her head, “Presiding Officer doesn’t know, that Xu Qi’an was hit by the Demon Sealing Nail, all of his astounding cultivation was sealed, and was supposed to be wasted. I didn’t realize that he had switched to compulsion.”

In that case it could be explained, and the Panlong Presiding Officer muttered, “No wonder, no wonder the Duo Nang Vajra said that he was wasted.”

The matter of the Demon Sealing Nail was not known to him.

After completely calming his emotions, the Panlong presiding officer asked again, “The party of the Vajra of Duo Nian is ………”

Pure Heart said, “The presiding officer must have heard of the quarrel in Aranta.”

Presiding Panlong nodded, “It was this son who proposed the idea of Mahayana Buddhism.”

The Buddhist sect is different from the Taoist sect, whose philosophy is closely related to the method of cultivation.

Buddhism is more mind-only.

In the opinion of some of the Buddhists, the concept of Mahayana Buddhism proposed by Xu Qi’an was taking the entire Buddhist doctrine and pushing it up a level.

Mahayana Buddhism, better suited for evangelism, is far more promising than Hinayana Buddhism.

Pure Heart said, “This son is the pioneer of Mahayana Buddhism, and his karma with the Buddhist Sect is extremely deep; if he can convert to the Buddhist Sect, it is heaven’s destiny for the Buddhist Sect to prosper.”

What’s more, this person is responsible for half of the Great Feng’s national fortune.

……….

Inside the meditation room, in the golden beam of light emanating from the copper mirror, the Vajra Dharma phase once again condensed.

The magnificent and majestic voice echoed in the meditation room:

“The Fulfillment Lo Han and the Fulfillment Vajra will lead their congregation to the Central Plains to capture the Buddha’s son and convert him to the Buddha’s Sect. You will assist from the side and make sure to bring back the Buddha’s son. Whether or not the Buddha Sect can spread the Buddha’s light all over the Nine States depends on whether or not the Buddha’s son can be converted to the Buddha Sect.

“Anyone who interferes with your ability to dispense Buddha’s children can be exterminated.”

Sure enough …….. Du Nang Vajra guessed this result and folded his hands, “I respectfully obey the Dharma Order.”

After a pause, he asked, “And the superintendent ……..”

“There will be someone to deal with him, there is no need for you to worry.”

“Understood.”

“This matter shall not be publicized or divulged.”

With that, the Vajra Dharma dispersed.

It must not be vocalized, must not be leaked, Xu Qian is still Xu Qian ……… Doudou Difficulty Vajra hands together, bowed and bowed.

………….

Inside the Floating Pagoda, Xu Qi’an sought out the Heavenly Sect’s Saint Son and said:

“The spirit of Heng Yin, the head of the Three Flowers Temple, is still here; summon him forth, and I will ask the spirit.”

“What’s the point of summoning him, it’s not easy for me to accumulate some soul power, it’s not good to waste it ……..” Li Lingsu reluctantly pinched the spell and mouthed the words.

Recruiting souls was an ability only possessed by the Sixth Grade Yin Shen Realm, and although his cultivation was sealed, his grade was still there, and Li Lingsu was still of the Fourth Grade, he just couldn’t exert too much strength.

This was different from Xu Qi’an, after all, Dongfang Wanrong’s sealing technique could not possibly compare to the Buddhist Sect’s supreme treasure, the Demon Sealing Nail.

As the invocation incantation was recited, the third floor was filled with a gloomy wind, and an illusory voice emerged, with a dull, round and fat face, precisely Heng Yin.

Xu Qi’an nodded in satisfaction, “Stand back.”

Li Lingsu didn’t think too much about it, turned around and headed for the second floor, and when he reached the stairway, he realized that everyone hadn’t moved, and he snapped out of it:

“I’m the only one retreating?”

“Or what?” Xu Qi’an slanted a glance at him.

“You’re not treating me as one of your own.” Li Lingsu glared.

Bah, men are most jealous of being a homo, I am not the same as you scum ……… Xu Qi an waved his hand and sent him to the second level.

After the sound of footsteps on the steps faded away, Xu Qi’an looked at Heng Yin and asked:

“Du Nang Vajra and the others, this trip is for the Dragon Qi?”

Heng Yin replied with a wooden face, “Yes.”

“How did they discover the dragon’s breath?”

“Many days ago, the presiding officer saw a dragon shadow come from the distant sky and merge into the Floating Pagoda, and when he searched in vain, he reported the matter to the Holy Mountain Alanta.” Heng Yin’s tone was hollow, as was his wooden demeanor.

Xu Qi’an nodded and asked, “The Buddhist Sect also wants to grab the Dragon Qi?”

Heng Yin muttered as he eyed the front:

“The Vajra of Duo Nang said that after seizing the dragon’s energy, he walked the Central Plains and incarnated the host of the dragon’s energy into the Buddhist Sect.”

Degree the host of the dragon qi into the Buddhist sect, this group of dead bald asses have malicious intentions ah …….. Xu Qi’an’s heart sank, and after asking some more detailed questions, he called out to Li Lingsu to disperse Heng Yin’s soul.

“Supervisor Zheng said that if one obtains the dragon’s qi, one will have the qualifications to fight for the center, Xu Pingfeng wants the dragon’s qi, the Witch God Sect wants the dragon’s qi, and the Buddhist Sect wants the dragon’s qi as well, so I’ve got a bit of a lot of rivals. Well, to put it another way, all parties are equally rivals.

“They don’t have an effective way to extract dragon qi, but they can “recruit” dragon qi hosts to the forces they belong to, and the effect is the same. The disadvantage is that when I deal with them, I can completely use sinister means to snatch people, leaving them defenseless.

“The scattered dragon qi can be left alone, but the nine vital dragon qi must be gotten hold of. Now I have already collected one.”

Xu Qi’an immediately made a plan to push back the task of unsealing the Divine Distinction and take care of the dragon’s qi first.

After all, there were too few clues to the remnants of Shenshu’s body, and finding them one by one was like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, he desperately needed strength to deal with his enemies right now, so raising parasites was much less difficult and much more feasible than searching for the remnants of the Divine Shrew.

When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but look at Old Monk Taling, and couldn’t help but think of that Faji Bodhisattva who had disappeared for more than three hundred years, and whose Buddhist license plate should have fallen into my hands by chance, right?

I don’t believe this was all anticipated by Faji Bodhisattva.

No, you can’t think that way, I also thought at first that the Supervisor couldn’t have predicted everything, but it turns out that I was slapped in the face.

Supervisor Zheng was able to make it this far, relying on the uniqueness of the Divine Fate Master, a professional skill.

But that Dharma Ji Bodhisattva, who is in control of the Great Wisdom Dharma ……… cannot make any judgment until he fully understands the power of the Great Wisdom Dharma.

I don’t know if the tower spirit can unlock the sealing nails, well, I can’t say it directly, let’s try it first.

He whirled around to look at Sun Xuanji and said, “Second Senior Brother, take them to the second floor.”

“Yes!”

Sun Xuanji’s feet stepped down, and the teleportation array rolled around Mu Nanjia and Li Lingsu, disappearing into the third floor.

Xu Qi’an folded his hands and bowed toward the old monk Taling, “Does the master know who I am?”

The old monk smiled, “I have heard many rumors about you at the Three Flowers Temple.”

I thought you didn t hear anything outside the window ……… Xu Qi an asked rhetorically, “What is it?”

Li Shaoyun said that the monk possessed the ability to count gods and ghosts and had a high IQ, and Xu Qi’an was afraid that he would swindle himself, so he reconfirmed.

The old monk said bluntly, “The monks were the first to walk to the Buddha’s seat, and I think it was because of the Mahayana Dharma,”

He really knows my identity ……… Xu Qi an laughed, “Master, have you heard of the Demon Sealing Nail?”

“Legend has it that the Buddha preached in the West back then and encountered obstruction from the Shura tribe. Later, most of the Shura Race were moved by the Buddha and converted to Buddhism.”

Was he touched, or was he brainwashed? Xu Qi’an spat in his heart.

“But the Shura King was so unruly that even the Buddha couldn’t do anything about it, so he sealed it with the Demon Sealing Nail and suppressed it in Aranta for forty-nine years before it was refined.” The tower spirit said.

Xu Qi’an asked, calling straight to the insider:

“Then you have seen the Demon Sealing Nail? Know how to use it.”

The old monk shook his head, “Shi Master, the poor monk is just the spirit of the pagoda.”

What do you mean ……. Xu Qi’an’s expression stiffened slightly.

“Tower Spirits are unable to cultivate, the Poverty Monk is essentially this Floating Pagoda giving birth to consciousness, unlike ordinary beings. The ability of the poor monk comes from the master’s sacrifice.”

That is to say, the ability of the tower spirit is solidified, what the Faustus Pagoda has the ability, the tower spirit has the ability, can not be like a normal person to practice spells, and can not cast spells that the magic weapon does not have ……… That is to say, my Pacific Sword in the future only know how to cut people, not worthy of being a martial artifact, and it is really vulgar ……… I only believe half of the words of the old monk, turn around and ask the second senior brother, he is a magician, no one knows more about magic weapons than him.

Not getting the expected answer, it was good that he didn’t expect much himself, so he no longer dwelled on the matter of the Demon Sealing Nail, and turned to point at Shenshu’s severed arm, saying:

“Master, can I communicate with him?”

Old Monk Taling pondered for a moment and said, “Yes!”

Xu Qi’an immediately took out his bracelet, walked to the edge of the formation, and shook it, the bell ringing clear.

Shinshu’s left arm, index finger moved.

“ding ding ding ding ……”

The more intense the ringing became, the faster the fingers on his left arm moved, and in a few moments, an intense malice surged up and enveloped the entire third floor.

This substance-like malice caused Xu Qi’s heart to jump faster, as if he was in a wolf pack, being stared at by the oily green eyes that chose to devour people, without the slightest sense of security.

“Shinshu?”

Xu Qi’an tried.

He was able to frankly mention Shenshu in front of the pagoda spirit, first of all, the Buddha Sect already knew that Shenshu was inside him, and this secret, just like the qi, had been exposed for a long time.

Secondly, his previous intention of attempting to unseal the Divine Distinction was completely exposed to the eyes of the tower spirit.

As Xu Qi’an said his name, a low, malicious voice came from his arm:

“Who are you to know this seat’s name.”

“The person who knew your name by chance,” Xu Qi’an deliberated for a moment and said, “was entrusted by someone to come and ask you something, and the anklet was the token. Well, do you remember the owner of this anklet.”

“……. Don’t remember.”

Shinshu murmured, and after a while, he added, “Come here some, I’ll tell you.”

Xu Qi’an’s face was expressionless, “Are you trying to trick me into going over there and take the opportunity to do bad things to me?”

“……..” Shenshu said morosely, “Little thing, still quite perceptive.”

Xu Qi’an suddenly realized, “You really want to do bad things to me.”

“……..”

Shenshu didn’t say another word, and a moment later, it suddenly went berserk, using its fingers as feet, charging left and right as its chains crumbled straight.

“Let me out, let me out, Buddha, you treacherous little man!!!”

The roar echoed within the third layer of space, shaking the entire pagoda slightly.

Xu Qi’an frowned, only to feel his temples throbbing, as if his blood was about to burst through his veins, his head aching.

He forced himself to endure the headache and asked loudly, “What did the Buddha do to you back then? Tell me clearly, and also, you know the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, right, and what is your relationship.”

But Shenshu ignored him and madly cursed the Buddha, shaking the Floating Pagoda.

After ten minutes or so, it finally calmed down and sighed softly:

“If you want to know, come here, come closer and I’ll tell you.”

“Why don’t you come out some?” Xu Qi’an bristled, “Do you know how long you’ve been trapped in the tower?”

Upon hearing this question, Shinshu gathered some of his malice and subconsciously asked after him, “How long?”

The tower does not know its age.

Xu Qi’an was serious: “Five thousand years.”

Shenshu was silent for a moment and laughed in a low voice, “You lied to me.”

His tone was sure.

Huh, what makes him conclude that I am cheating, the tower does not know the years, it is impossible to know that I am cheating ……… Xu Qi an frowned.

Shenshu’s voice filled with malice, as if it could penetrate the soul, came out, “I naturally have a way to tell the difference, and I also know that I won’t be more than eight hundred years old.”

Eight hundred years is some reference value? Xu Qi’an said, “Indeed, you were sealed within the Floating Pagoda for five hundred years.”

“Five Hundred Years ……..”

Shenshu’s tone turned ethereal, seemingly in a trance.

“Master Shinshu, if you recognize the anklet, you should know that I am someone to be trusted.”

After a pause, seeing that Shenshu did not retort, Xu Qi’an pursued, “Where are the rest of your remnants?”

Shenshu asked, “You’re going to help me lift the seal?”

Xu Qi’an couldn’t help but look at the tower spirit, and was relieved to see that he was sitting quietly and ignoring this side:

“Before that, I have one more question, do you know about the Demon Sealing Nail.”

“A magic weapon refined by the Buddha.” Shenshu replied.

“So you can solve it?”

“Meh, trivial.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi’an’s face floated with joy, and then he heard Shenshu say, “Come over here some, I’ll tell you.”

You fucking …….. The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched.

“Whatever your reason for asking about the Demon Sealing Nail, it has nothing to do with me. You unseal me, and I’ll tell you the mnemonic for using the Demon Sealing Nail.” Shenshu’s low voice added.

Unlock your seal, I people are gone …….. And this left arm at a glance is the Earth Zong Dao head type of evil people, he said he knows the control of the devil sealing nail recipe, who knows if it is not cheating me ………

Xu Qi’an didn’t dwell on this and turned back to the topic, “Where are your other bodies?”

Shenshu Broken Arm laughed lowly, “There’s no need to be so troublesome, as long as I find my head, I’ll be able to contact the seal on my own.”

“Where is your head?” Xu Qi’an’s eyes lit up.

“Perhaps in Aranta, heh, the Buddha will not be at peace until he has suppressed my head himself. On this point you may inquire; if the Buddha has been asleep since five hundred years ago, then my head must be in Aranta.”

Alanta, the Buddha himself suppressed ………. Xu Qi’an’s head is full of “crap”, can only go down this copy of martial arts god, right, first grade martial arts is not possible.

Back then, that half-step Martial God’s Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom Lord didn’t die at the hands of the Buddha in the same way.

If I had the strength to push through a copy of Aranta, why would I need you?

“What’s this about you calling the Buddha a treacherous villain. Also, what is your relationship with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?”

When he finished speaking, he held his breath, ready to listen to the unseen secrets.

“Little thing, with your cultivation, it’s not enough to know things at this level. As for my relationship with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, I can’t remember, so you can look up the truth about the Buddha Sect’s extermination of the Southern Demons back then yourself.”

The evil Shinshu’s laughter suddenly hissed, “Of course, I’ll tell you if you lift the seal and let me out right now.”

Bye!

Seeing that he couldn’t pry any more information, Xu Qi’an turned his head and left, bowing towards the tower spirit with folded arms, “Master, I’m done asking.”

The tower spirit opened his eyes, nodded, and flexed his fingers to flick out a golden light.

Shinshu’s left arm struggled but couldn’t resist falling into a deep sleep.

………..

Northwestern Central Plains, Yuyang County under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou.

Chu Yuanjian sat on the back of a horse, his traveling bag filled with blood-drenched human heads, on his left was Li Miaozhen, a beautiful kun-dao in Taoist robes, and on his right was the bitter and vengeful Heng Yuan.

Behind them, followed by the magistrates of Yuyang County.

The magistrates followed on foot, giving up the few horses in the county for the three warriors to ride, their faces full of fatigue but excited.

Near Yuyang County, the evil wolf fortress that had been a scourge for many years had finally been eradicated, which was a great joyous event worth cheering and celebrating.

The big boss of the Bad Wolf Village is a God Refining Realm martial artist, and he is very brave, often plundering the villages and towns in the county and robbing the passing caravans. Successive magistrates have been unable to do anything about the Bad Wolf Village.

Until a few days ago, the county was visited by the legendary Flying Swallow Woman, with her two companions.

Flying Swallow is really worthy of being a famous warrior, as soon as she heard that there are bandits in the vicinity, she immediately found the county magistrate and took the initiative to ask for the elimination of the bandits.

In just half a day’s time, the evil wolf fortress that plagued Yuyang County was completely annihilated, and two hundred bandits were killed without leaving a single one.

Chu Yuanjian looked at Hengyuan and said, “Didn’t we come out to look for Xu Qi’an and help him collect dragon qi. Why are we walking around and somehow being led around by Li Miaozhen to eradicate evil?”

Hengyuan froze, “Amitabha Buddha, the poor monk doesn’t know either.”

Li Miaozhen frowned lightly, “Isn’t it good to be chivalrous? This dog thief, Xu Qi’an, deliberately ignored our message, making it clear that he doesn’t want to make peace with us. Well then, he will take his own path, and I will cross my own bridge.”

Chu Yuanjian shook his head, “Your reputation is too big, walking with him will expose his identity. What if you are targeted by his own father?”

After the three of them went to the Yamen and handed over their heads and received the reward, Li Miaozhen said, “Let’s exchange the silver for food and give out congee in the city.”

“………” Chu Yuanjian’s mouth twitched, “Miaozhen, I want to change my boots.”

When Li Miaozhen was about to speak, her gaze suddenly froze and she looked towards the wall of a certain inn down the street, where a nine-petaled lotus flower had been drawn with a simple brush.

“This is the contact code of our Heavenly Sect.”

Li Miaozhen’s gaze flickered as she bristled, “Both of you, you’ll be able to meet number seven later. Hey, this guy even escaped from the Eastern Sisters?”

Seven?

Hengyuan and Chu Yuanjian looked at each other.

………
