Ask about the Immortal Way

In the room.

Qin Sang used real energy to simulate a miniature version of Zhulan Temple.

The key node of the temple-protecting spiritual formation.

The caves of the three venerables.

The location of the Tallinn and relics.

…

It's clear at a glance.

In the 'Zhulan Temple', there are two winding thin lines, which Qin Sang had previously observed as the two easiest routes to enter the back mountain.

By cooperating with Tianmudie, he has a good chance of sneaking into the vicinity of Tallinn.

The difficult problem is how to break through the restrictions of the pagoda and approach the pagoda before alerting the three sages.

"The three venerables are too close to Talin. They cannot be taken by force, they can only be taken by outsmarts."

Qin Sang frowned.

He thought of several ways in an instant.

For example, let’s start with the situation in Hanhai.

The Vast Sea is a vast sandy area in the Western Desert. The oasis occupied by Zhulan Temple and other seven temples is actually only the richest area in the core of the Vast Sea. There are many oases outside, and Buddhism only occupies part of it.

There are countless forces from all sides.

The seven stars in the vast sea advance and retreat together to guard against these external forces.

There are many Nascent Soul monks among them. The problem is that they are not united enough. Unless Buddhism is prepared to forcibly drive them out of the vast sea, no one is willing to step forward.

Qin Sang and Liu Li have enough cultivation to stand in front of the stage and hope to unite all parties and form an alliance to exorcise the Buddha. However, those old guys are all cunning and cunning, how can they easily fall into the trap of exorcizing the tiger and swallowing the wolf?

This can only be achieved through a long process of planning, step by step, and guiding and deepening the hatred between the two parties.

Time is not an issue.

He is still far away from breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

But this consumes too much energy. I am immersed in conspiracies and trivial matters all day long and cannot concentrate on cultivation.

Then there is the powerful enemy who originally ordered Zhulan Temple to leave the vast sea to avoid disaster.

After Zhulan Temple regained its original name in an upright manner, it has always stood firm in the vast sea. Not to mention whether the power has been passed down, as time has passed, the blood feud has long faded.

It's too troublesome to drive the tiger away and devour the wolf. How about inducing the tiger to leave the mountain?

Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, and he increased his true energy, simulating the terrain of the entire seven stars in the vast sea, almost filling the entire room. He and Liuli looked at each other across the seven stars in the vast sea, one on the left and the other on the right.

Liuli guessed Qin Sang's thoughts and looked thoughtful.

Qin Sang, Incarnation and Liuli.

There are three mid-stage Nascent Souls on their side.

When stealing the treasure, Master Qin Sang needs to sneak into Zhulan Temple and take action himself.

If all three venerables could be lured away, there would be no need to leave any supporting personnel outside Zhulan Temple. Incarnation and Liuli would be able to move freely, enough to threaten any temple.

The seven stars in the vast sea are connected with each other, and there must be a covenant to help each other. If other temples are attacked, Zhulan Temple cannot just sit idly by.

The problem is that there are three venerables in Zhulan Temple. Even if two are sent out to support, there is still one venerable in the temple. Once that happens, Zhulan Temple will definitely activate the temple-protecting spiritual array as soon as possible.

Qin Sang recalled the restrictions around Tallinn and made deductions.

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

If he was guarding the temple and found someone taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into the tower forest, he would immediately think that he had fallen into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and that the other party's target was some kind of treasure in the tower forest.

His first reaction was definitely not to desperately stop the opponent, but to sweep away all Talin's belongings and shrink into the core of the spiritual formation.

Therefore, Qin Sang must break in and get the Buddha's bone relics before alerting the venerable one.

I have deduced it countless times.

Qin Sang shook his head slightly. It was too difficult. The tower forest restriction was connected with the spiritual formation protecting the temple. It was difficult to hide it from the perception of the person who controlled the spiritual formation.

Capturing the Venerable who is out for reinforcements and letting Venerable Chengyuan exchange the relics is a way, but it is the worst strategy.

Although Xiaoxiangzi has mentioned that only monks in the transformation stage can perceive the magic of the relics, there are countless Buddhist secrets, and the Venerable Zhulan Temple and the Venerable Hongyi came from the same sect. Knowing that the relics contain secrets, There's no guarantee you won't find anything.

Compared with two fellow students, which one is more important, the opportunity for breakthrough?

To transfer all three sages away from Zhulan Temple, it is still necessary to unite with external forces.

Or be patient for the time being, wait for the situation to change, and wait for the opportunity to act. The Buddha's bone relics have been stored in Zhulan Temple for many years and have been safe and sound.

As the saying goes, if you never forget something, there will be repercussions.

As long as you have enough patience, there will always be a chance.

Qin Sang was whirling these thoughts, and suddenly remembered something. His eyes brightened, and he suddenly raised his head and found Liuli looking over, obviously thinking about it too.

"Moonlight Bodhisattva!"

The two said in unison.

In recent years, the name of Moonlight Bodhisattva has become more and more famous, not only spread in the Western Desert, but also in the Central Plains and Northern Wasteland.

The whole world is watching Buddhism’s jokes.

The term "debating scriptures" has never been mentioned by anyone, but now it is often mentioned and talked about with great enthusiasm.

It even triggered a debate between the classics and its meaning in the world of Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation.

Moonlight Bodhisattva is still wandering around the Western Desert, elusive and mysterious. Countless Buddhist cultivators gathered in the Western Desert and searched intensively, but they couldn't hurt him at all.

Every time he appeared, he always appeared at an unexpected place and time, and then disappeared without a trace. During this period, he would definitely lose the face of the nearby eminent monks, and he would never dare to mention the matter of debating scriptures again.

The Buddhist saint was very patient and did not show up yet.

Since Moonlight Bodhisattva takes pleasure in slapping Buddhism in the face, how can he let Hanhai go?

If Zhulan Temple is closed and does not fight, it will lose face even more. It is better to fight openly and openly, and say "admiration" at the end to show its freedom and ease.

What's more, each temple has already faced the Moonlight Bodhisattva as if it were a formidable enemy, and the eminent monks are studying the scriptures carefully, so they may not have no chance of winning.

Moonlight Bodhisattva is now more and more cautious, debating scriptures is no longer as grand as before, and the location is always carefully selected to be in a place that is not easily besieged.

If you come here, there is a high probability that you will set up a Dharma altar somewhere outside the Seven Stars of the Vast Sea.

Using the Moonlight Bodhisattva to attract the attention of the Seven Stars in the Vast Sea, when Zhulan Temple sent the Venerable to fight, Liuli caused another scene, and Qin Sang took advantage of it.

Qin Sang took a few steps back and forth and felt that it was feasible.

It depends on when Moonlight Bodhisattva will arrive.

Of course, Qin Sang would not place all his hopes on one person. He discussed with Liuli and continued to collect information while contacting the forces of the vast sea to make preparations.

As expected.

The forces of Hanhai are very afraid of Buddhism and are unwilling to go against Buddhism unless they have to.

In order to prevent others from guessing their true purpose, Qin Sang only maintained the relationship in the name of making friends and secretly looked for a breakthrough.

Seven years passed in a flash.

During this period, Moonlight Bodhisattva disappeared for five full years.

Qin Sang couldn't help but wonder if the Buddhist sect became angry and sent experts to secretly get rid of this person.

Over the past seven years, Qin Sang's understanding of the temple-protecting spiritual array of Zhulan Temple has been greatly improved, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.

The Venerable Zhulan Temple has been meditating in the temple for many years and has never left even half a step.

He had already given up his expectations for Moonlight Bodhisattva, so the two of them found a cave nearby to stay, practicing while making long-term plans.

Unexpectedly, after missing for many years, Moonlight Bodhisattva reappeared, and set up the altar in Hanhai for the second sutra debate. Even though they were thousands of miles away from the Seven Stars in the Vast Sea, they were obviously coming for them.

The news spread quickly throughout the seven oases as if it had wings.

Qin Sang and Liuli kept staring at Zhulan Temple and learned the news immediately.

…

Edge of the oasis.

Two eminent monks in cassocks sat cross-legged under the bodhi tree. One was skinny, like a legendary ascetic, while the other was much younger, with fat head and big ears, but a majestic appearance.

Behind them stood a group of young monks, twisting beads in their hands and saying nothing.

The bodhi tree is a sacred tree in Buddhism.

In today's world, the real sacred Bodhi tree has disappeared, so Buddhism uses another spiritual tree with branches and leaves similar to the Bodhi tree, which is far-fetched and called Bodhi.

Outside the Bodhi tree, there is a long stretch of yellow sand.

The strong wind blew into their ears, but the monks were calm and composed.

At this moment, some figures flew from a distance.

"Senior Brother Chengzhen."

"Junior Brother Guanhui."

Before anyone arrives, the sound is heard first.

The two eminent monks sitting cross-legged under the tree stood up and bowed in return.

When the two sides met, they took off the light and entered the sea of ​​sand.

After they disappeared, two figures emerged from the sand dunes in the distance. They were Qin Sang's incarnation and Liuli.

"Unexpectedly, Venerable Chengzhen of Zhulan Temple has also broken through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and his cultivation is quite exquisite. Fortunately, he did not act rashly."

Qin Sang said softly.

These are the eminent monks sent by Hanhai Qixing to participate in the debate.

As luck would have it, Zhulan Temple attaches great importance to scripture debate and even dispatched two venerables. Only the venerable Chengyuan was left in the temple. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Qin Sang and Liuli looked at each other, and it seemed that there was no need to resort to the tactic of trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

…

Zhulan Temple.

Qin Sang disguised himself as a Buddhist monk, sneaked into the temple in advance, and hid in the dark. He was not afraid even if Zhulan Temple was closed.

However, Zhulan Temple did not make much action.

Over the years, the temples visited by Moonlight Bodhisattva have only suffered a loss of face, but no real losses.

As time passed, Moonlight Bodhisattva's purpose gradually became known to people.

After he failed to debate the scriptures with him, he handed over the classics collected in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of the temple and allowed Moonlight Bodhisattva to read them. This person is not greedy and will not covet the true teachings of the temple.

When Venerable Chengzhen set out, he asked his disciples to carve the classics on jade slips in advance and take them with them.

Over the years, Moonlight Bodhisattva has adhered to the rules and did not cross the line, so the Buddhist community has not reacted violently.

Perhaps, in the eyes of truly virtuous and eminent monks, having such a person to alert Buddhism is not necessarily a bad thing.

However, this debate was exploited by Qin Sang, and its nature was destined to change.

"I've met Senior Brother Qingyun."

On the mountain road.

The two novice monks guarding the mountain saw a young monk coming from the front yard and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The monk put his hands together and returned the gift, said in a serious tone without a smile, "Uncle Supervisor of the Temple has an order not to allow any stray people to enter the back mountain. The two junior brothers must keep an eye on them carefully."

Hearing the name of the prison temple, the two young monks shuddered and hurriedly obeyed.

The monk nodded and continued to inspect various places.

The monk was Qin Sang who borrowed the secret treasure to disguise himself and swaggered into the back mountain.

The real monk has been knocked unconscious by him.

After years of investigation, he already knew the Zhulan Temple well, including the names and duties of the disciples in the temple, so the disguise was naturally perfect.

In Zhulan Temple, the Venerable is aloof and does not engage in secular affairs. The people in charge of the temple are the eight deacons, and the supervisor of the temple is one of them.

Monk Qingyun obeyed orders under the supervision of the temple.

Qin Sang had been observing this man for a long time. At this time, his words and deeds were very vivid. He met several waves of monks one after another without any flaws, and he successfully came to the Tallinn.

The man guarding the pagoda forest is still the same monk as last time.

"Qingyun..."

The monk thought it was an order from the temple supervisor and did not doubt that he was there. He walked out of the meditation hall and just as he said something, he suddenly heard a strange sound of "Humph", and then a sharp pain like acupuncture came from his soul.

The monk was horrified and tried to warn the temple, but it was too late.

Qin Sang used the soul-catching mantra, and even though he didn't use his full strength, it was not something that a mere golden elixir cultivator could resist.

The monk's soul was injured and he fell unconscious on the spot.

Qin Sang's figure was like a ghost, approaching the monk, gently supporting him, and hiding him in the meditation hall. He transformed into a monk guarding the pagoda, and even his cultivation was exactly the same.

Tallinn is a pure place where few people come here unless they are offering sacrifices or making offerings.

Qin Sang stood outside the Tallinn, his eyes swept across the restrictions outside the Tallinn, and finally landed on the cliffs deep in the Tallinn.

Venerable Chengyuan is meditating.

Qin Sang already knew how to break through the tower forest ban, but he was still waiting for the opportunity. He turned around, looked at the gate of Zhulan Temple, and then returned to the meditation hall.

After a stick of incense.

A figure walked outside Zhulan Temple, his face covered by a cloak.

The Zhike monk guarding the gate took one look and suddenly looked nervous, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Because this person did not hide it, the aura of the Nascent Soul stage was fully revealed.

"This Master is so polite," the visitor walked to the temple door and said in a gentle female voice. "A poor Taoist wandered here and heard that Zhulan Temple is the monastery of a Taoist monk, so he paid a visit and asked the Master to inform me. "

The person coming was none other than Liuli.

Just by listening to the voice, Zhike Monk felt that there was a beautiful woman with a beautiful crown under the cloak, but he did not dare to have any evil thoughts and hurriedly returned the greeting: "Senior, please wait for a moment in the front yard. The poor monk will report it to the superintendent of the temple."

"Thank you."

Liuli nodded slightly, followed Zhike Monk into the front yard, and waited in the quiet room.

The monk who knew the guest immediately reported the matter to the supervisory temple. The supervisor came in a hurry and confirmed that it was a Taoist master. He did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to the back mountain to ask the ancestor for instructions.

In front of the cliff, the supervisor explained the reason.

After a moment, a cold voice came from inside: "Missing!"

The prison guard was stunned for a moment, then bowed and retreated, returned to the front yard, and apologized. He only said that the founder was in retreat and would meet again in the future.

Liuli seemed to have expected to be turned away, so she was not worried and walked out of the quiet room, opening her mouth slightly to encourage her true energy.

"The poor Taoist came from the depths of the desert. Don't you want to know the origin of Moonlight Bodhisattva?"

Motivated by the true energy, the sound rolled like thunder and spread throughout Zhulan Temple in an instant.

Jian Si's face was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

In the Zen hall.

Qin Sang pretended to be in a hurry and rushed out of the meditation hall.

Cliffs and cliffs.

Venerable Chengyuan described old age as an ancient old man. His cassock was like a human being, old and faded.

The voice clearly passed into the meditation hall. Venerable Chengyuan opened his eyes slightly, his light flashed, and his figure disappeared into thin air.

This is the power of the Zhulan Temple Temple Guard Spirit Array. The people in the main array can have magical powers comparable to teleportation in the temple, and can move anywhere at will!

forecourt.

Liuli looked up at the back mountain, ignoring the frightened prison guard.

at this time.

There was a wave of fluctuation in the void ahead, and the figure of Lord Chengyuan turned from virtual to real.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Venerable Chengyuan's expression suddenly changed and he let out a thunderous roar.

"How brave!"
