Ask about the Immortal Way

"The thief dares to use his clever words to deceive the prince! This general has just been ordered by the prince to kill you and other traitors! Do you dare to say that you don't know this man?"

Zhou Mingguang held up the prince's manuscript given to him by Qin Sang and waved his hand. His personal attendant took out a salted human head from the bag and threw it over.

Abbot Yuanzhen's expression changed dramatically, he hurriedly took the head and shook his hands suddenly.

The monks behind him hula and knelt on the ground, crying loudly. Some called them master, and some called them master.

Zhou Mingguang turned a blind eye and spread out a piece of silk to read the ultimatum.

"Xuanji Temple, the head of the Luohan Hall, the Dharma name is Yuanjue! Humph! This person occupies a high position, but he is willing to be a pawn of the false emperor. He almost ruined the prince's important affairs and was killed on the spot. There are all witnesses and material evidence, and the evidence is conclusive , What else can a thief, a bald donkey, say!"

"nonsense!"

A great monk stared with blood-red eyes and gritted his teeth, "Master is an innate master. You rebels, there is no way you can be my opponent! What kind of vicious trick did you use to harm my master!"

After hearing what the great monk said, Zhou Mingguang glanced at Qin Sang calmly.

"Rebel?"

Zhou Mingguang almost laughed out loud and said sadly: "It seems that Monk Yuanjue is definitely not the only one who has the pseudo-emperor's lackeys in Xuanji Temple. Everyone obey my orders and come to the temple to search for me. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"

In an instant, the golden drums were beating together and the armors were clattering.

The monks of Xuanji Temple formed a battle formation and looked like they were going to resist to the end.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified and became extremely chilling.

At this time, Abbot Yuanzhen suddenly closed his eyes, looked up to the sky with a long sigh, and solemnly handed the head in his hand to the monk beside him.

"Amitabha."

Abbot Yuanzhen took a step forward and said, "General Zhou, Junior Brother Yuanjue left the Great Sui Dynasty to travel around the world and has not returned for ten years. He must have just returned to the Great Sui Dynasty and did not know the truth. He was deceived by the false emperor for a moment. Xuanji Temple There is no way that the monks can act as the pawns of the false emperor, so General Zhou must be warned."

"Abbott!"

Seeing that Abbot Yuanzhen actually wanted to plead guilty and receive punishment, the monks of Xuanji Temple were shocked.

Qin Sang was happy that Abbot Yuanzhen could recognize the situation and it would be best if he could not resort to war.

Zhou Mingguang's tone softened slightly, "The abbot is a monk with high morals and high respect, so he will not tell lies. However, there are many monks in Xuanji Temple, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. If there are minions of the false emperor hiding among them, they do something, and Xuanji will be implicated. Isn’t the temple beautiful? Abbot, don’t worry, this general will definitely restrain all the soldiers and arrest only the puppet emperor’s minions, and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately.”

…

Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Qin Sang raised his head and stared at the seven-story pagoda in front of him. He had admired this place for a long time. Legend has it that all the secrets of martial arts can be found in Shaolin, and all the secrets of Shaolin can be found in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. It can be said to be the holy place in the hearts of everyone who has read martial arts novels.

However, Qin Sang knew that the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion in Xuanji Temple was just a cover. There were no superior martial arts in it, only Buddhist scriptures.

The real treasure trove is not here.

Qin Sang turned his head and glanced at Abbot Yuanzhen who was sitting on the ground in the distance, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

All the monks in Xuanji Temple were restrained by Abbot Yuanzhen in the Main Hall and surrounded by crossbowmen.

Abbot Yuanzhen watched helplessly as the soldiers emptied the treasury of Xuanji Temple, and boxes of gold and silver treasures were moved down the mountain like water. He still felt neither sadness nor joy. It was really good.

Zhou Mingguang strode forward, glanced at it, pointed at an inconspicuous path behind the Sutra Pavilion, and shouted loudly: "There is another road here! Come here, bring a team of soldiers over, search carefully for me, and let go of any rebels." Thief, chop off your heads!"

Abbot Yuanzhen's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward to stop him, "No, General Zhou. The front is the retreat of the founder of this temple, so please don't disturb him!"

Zhou Mingguang snorted coldly, "Bullshit Patriarch! Who knows who he is without searching carefully? The abbot is so guilty, could it be that the people inside are hiding from the light?"

"you!"

The veins in the palm of Abbot Yuanzhen's hand holding the prayer beads popped out, and a bunch of sawdust flowed between his fingers.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Please ask General Zhou to search carefully and clear away the grievances of this temple! However, the old monk has a favor to ask. There is indeed a Qing Cultivator of our temple in the cliff. I also ask the general to be accommodating and let the old monk go first. Please ask the Patriarch to come out of seclusion, so as not to disturb the Patriarch's skills and cause big mistakes."

Zhou Mingguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Abbot Yuanzhen, who had almost been forced just now, was furious. His back was almost soaked with cold sweat. He waved his hands and said, "Abbott, please do as you please."

Abbot Yuanzhen was in front, and Zhou Mingguang followed behind with his soldiers. After a while, they turned around a stone forest and saw a cliff.

There are countless stone carvings on the cliff, inscribed by former dignitaries, eminent monks, famous martial arts figures, and famous writers. There is a row of stone steps at the foot of the mountain leading up to a stone path across the cliff. There are rows of beautiful Buddhist sculptures in the stone path.

The cliff has two sides in the southeast. The east side coincides with the rising sun and the rising sun corresponds to the Buddhist gate. It is the retreat place of the founder of Xuanji Temple.

Zhou Mingguang and his soldiers were waiting at the foot of the stone steps. The old monks went up to invite the ancestors down one after another. Most of them were haggard old monks, including top masters and some eminent monks who were not proficient in martial arts.

Abbot Yuanzhen comforted each one one by one, which was very hard work. Zhou Mingguang asked the soldiers to pretend to check, while he silently counted the time in his heart.

According to the agreement, he had to delay Qin Sang for at least a quarter of an hour.

At this time, Qin Sang had already changed into casual clothes, quietly climbed to the top of the cliff, and lay on the top of the cliff to watch. When he finally saw that the Xiantian Patriarch of Xuanji Temple was invited to come down the mountain, he immediately climbed down quietly along the cliff.

He had originally prepared a rope, but the stone carvings on the cliff were uneven and he could easily climb it with his lightness, so he didn't need it.

At the end of the stone path, there was a stone step extending downward. Qin Sang gently landed on the stone path and walked down the stone step silently.

The stone steps go down very deep and it is extremely quiet.

There are some caves on both sides, where the founder of Xuanji Temple used to retreat, but now he is invited to go down.

If Zhou Mingguang hadn't been so messy and forced them out, Qin Sang would have never been able to sneak in without being discovered.

Finally, when we reached the end of the stone steps, there was an inconspicuous narrow stone crevice in the corner, with a deep end.

The cracks in the stone are narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. There are dangerous traps inside, but Qin Sang already knows that. Step carefully and avoid all traps. The cracks in the stone are divided into several forked roads. These are the places where Xuanji Temple places rare treasures.

Qin Sang went straight to the place where the bell was placed. There were also priceless treasures in several other forks in the road, but in Qin Sang's eyes, they were no different from dust, and time did not allow them.

The small grotto has been artificially trimmed into a square shape, and a luminous pearl is inlaid on the top, which shines brightly.

There is a stone platform in the middle of the grotto, with a purple bell, a jade slip and a talisman on it, covered with colored glaze.

There was the last mechanism on the stone platform. Qin Sang found the poison arrow, destroyed the mechanism, and opened the glass cover.

Time was running out, Qin Sang suppressed the excitement in her heart, quickly put away the three things, and quietly exited the grotto.
