Fortune Teller

"you……"

Monk Yinqiu wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason.

Indeed, compared to walking outside, the benefits of being in a temple are ten to a hundred times greater. The Moro Realm is different from other realms. The elixirs, rare treasures, and secret realms here are all firmly controlled by large temples and ancient temples, and are rarely available to casual cultivators. Opportunity.

What's more, there are powerful experts and patriarchs in Dingkong Temple who can give guidance. In what way is it not better than outside?

"There is a before and after after hearing the Tao. We are all chasing immortality. It doesn't matter who is strong and who is weak. As long as we can live freely in the world, that's enough." Gu Xiuyun smiled slightly.

The faces of the monks around him became more and more disdainful.

Immortality? Happy?

A middle-level Douxiao Realm dared to say such things. It was really unbelievable.

"Yinqiu, your senior brother doesn't dare to refute himself. What are you talking about? In my opinion, he is just like a silver spear head. He can't even get through the first level of the Forbidden Sea."

The quiet room burst into laughter.

The Forbidden Sea is a restricted sea area outside the Buddha Ceremony Ceremony. All disciples, including the powerful Patriarch, must rely on their own strength to cross.

There is a saying in Zen Buddhism: All living beings suffer, and we can only overcome it by ourselves.

The Formation Forbidden Sea is in no particular order, it only depends on one's own Taoist understanding. Some people with profound understanding can pass through the third level of the sea despite their low cultivation, while some with fragile minds cannot even pass the first level.

What the monk said was no longer a mockery, but a slander.

"Yinze, you are going too far."

Monk Yinqiu's spiritual power surged around his body, but was stopped by an arm.

"Junior brother, there is no need to argue with them," Gu Xiuyun said expressionlessly, "Since all of you look down on me, why don't we make a bet."

"What's the bet? Let's talk about it."

"There are nine levels of sea in the Forbidden Sea. Let's see who goes deeper. If I lose, I will pay you a five-attribute Xuanling Crystal. If you lose, you must give the corresponding treasure. How about that?" Gu Xiuyun said.

"How do you divide a Xuanling Crystal? Are you kidding me?"

"Each person has one. Since we are competing to see who has gone deeper, we have to bet separately to make it fair."

"oh?"

The monks in the quiet room looked at each other with expressions of emotion.

A five-attribute Xuanling Crystal is not expensive, and even Douxiao Realm disciples can afford it.

"Okay, the poor monk promises you, it's just a Xuanling Crystal." Monk Yinze nodded immediately.

The other monks also nodded.

If it were some valuable treasure, they would still hesitate. The Xuanling Crystal... even with five attributes, would not be worth more than three thousand origin coins.

Everyone gritted their teeth and could afford it.

"Then make a contract!"

Gu Xiuyun took out the white talisman paper from his arms. This object was not a blood contract and had no backlash effect on the mind. However, the price was much lower. Ordinary people in the Douxiao Realm would use this object to make contracts.

The monks stepped forward and left their soul mark on the talisman paper.

At that time, as long as you hold the talisman, you can come to ask for treasures.

"Senior Brother, these are hundreds of contracts. If you lose..." Monk Yinqiu stood to the side, his face pale and uncertain.

A piece of contract talisman represents a Xuanling Crystal.

There are hundreds of talisman papers and almost half a million original coins, which is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for ordinary Douxiao.

Master Shangmiao's net worth is only this much, let alone the monks present? ? Can Senior Brother Yinshan afford the compensation?

I'm afraid it will take a lifetime to repay it.

"It doesn't matter. I got some opportunities outside, and I can still get some Xuanling Crystals."

As he spoke, Gu Xiuyun took out a Sumeru bag from his arms, opened the mouth of the bag, and hundreds of colored spiritual crystals rolled out.

When the monks around saw this scene, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"No wonder he would bet with us on the Xuanling Crystal. It's just a chance that he has a lot of treasures in his hands."

"No matter how many treasures there are, they can't break through the forbidden sea."

"I don't believe it. How advanced is a disciple who has not returned to the sect all year round?"

Everyone was talking quietly, with excitement and excitement on their faces.

The five-attribute Xuanling Crystal is quite a harvest.

At the same time, Gu Xiuyun sent the talisman paper in his hand to the monk Yinqiu, "Junior brother, please hold these contracts for me!"

"Senior brother?" Yinqiu looked confused.

"After the Buddha Day, I have to travel far away. How can I have time to ask for treasures from them??" Gu Xiuyun shook his head, "Then I will trouble you, junior brother. I will take half of the benefits, and the other half will be for me first." Keep it.”

Hesitation flashed in Yinqiu monk's eyes.

In his opinion, no matter how weak Gu Xiuyun was, he could always defeat a few people. The value of these contracts was no less than 20,000 to 30,000 source coins.

Getting half of it is quite a gain.

After a moment of silence, Monk Yinqiu nodded heavily and put away the contract talisman.

…

A few days later, spaceships descended into the depths of the void one after another.

Countless disciples walked out of the boat.

In front of him is a turbulent sea with no end in sight. The waves are rolling and sweeping across the world. Every drop of sea water is filled with spiritual energy fluctuations and seems to contain countless changes.

"The Forbidden Sea is ahead!"

"You should all know the rules of the Buddha Day. If you want to worship the Holy Buddha, you must pass through the first three sea areas."

Above the void, the eighth-level power said loudly, "At the same time, I would like to remind you that only those who have passed through the third level of the sea are eligible to participate in the sect competition. There is only half a month left before the competition begins, so hurry up!"

As soon as the words fell, countless Douxiaos lit up their escape lights and rushed towards the depths of the Forbidden Sea.

Many sect disciples have gathered in the sea area.

There are large Sifang temples, many ancient temples, some underground temples, and even casual cultivators.

As long as practitioners have reached the Douxiao realm, they are eligible to participate in worshiping the Buddha.

"I hope this sect can produce an Arhat this time."

Looking at the crowd of disciples, the Patriarch of Dingkong Temple secretly looked forward to it.

Zen Arhat... Only disciples who have been selected on the Buddha Day and recognized by their ancestors are qualified to become Arhats.

Every Arhat will step into the eighth level in a very short period of time, and they are extremely strong. The weakest one is also a powerful person in the Tianfang realm.

If Dingkong Temple can produce an Arhat, the sect's future cultivation resources will at least double, and the longevity elixir will even be given.

These are real benefits.

…

Whoosh!

Rays of escaping light rushed into the sea, and before they had even taken a few steps, they were blocked by a spiritual barrier.

Everyone looked up.

I saw a high mountain in the sea. The mountain was transparent and made of sea water. Clear words were engraved on it, and there were formation patterns next to it.

"As the rumors say, the first level of the Forbidden Sea is a test of the formation secrets. As long as you understand the secrets or unlock the formation, you can go to the next level of the sea." Monk Yinqiu said.

There are two tests in the first sea area, one is the secret book and the other is the formation.

As long as you break one of them, you can go to the depths of the sea.

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen escaping lights tore open the spiritual barrier and headed into the distance.

Those are all great masters.

The first layer of spiritual power barrier in the sea area can only block entering the mysterious world, but not Shangmiao.

"Brother, let's seize the time to understand!"

Monk Yinqiu stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the formation patterns around the mountain. He did not choose a secret technique. He understood the Taoist rhyme within half a month. The requirements for understanding were too high. In comparison, cracking the formation pattern was too high. It's easier.

Gu Xiuyun was sitting right in front of the mountain, looking at the words from a distance.

"This seems to be a Taoist secret technique, but it doesn't look like it." Gu Xiuyun narrowed his eyes.

With his level, how could he not see the mystery of the secret technique?

Carved on the surface of the mountain is a secret technique of stacking formations, which is a bit more complicated than ordinary secret techniques. If you are a practitioner with dull qualifications, it will take at least a year and a half.

It can be seen from this that the first level of the sea is actually a test of the talent and understanding of the sect disciples.

In comparison, the difficulty of the formation next to it is much lower. It is just a dual-attribute divine formation. Dingkong Temple is an ancient temple, and all the disciples in the sect are proficient in the formation. They can break through the formation in three to five days at most.

"As I expected, this person has not returned to the sect for thousands of years, and his understanding of formations is still at the level of opening pulses. He can only choose secret arts books."

Seeing Gu Xiuyun's actions, Monk Yinze sneered.

"So, didn't we earn a five-attribute Xuanling Crystal in vain?" Another monk said.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed on one, at least thirty."

There were looks of annoyance on everyone's faces.

Thirty Xuanling Crystals are worth as much as 100,000 origin coins, and can buy a regular Taoist talisman.

"Senior brother..."

Monk Yinqiu heard everyone talking and couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiuyun.

Hundreds of contracts, nearly 500,000 origin coins, such a huge wealth... throw it away at will, but now that the contract has been signed, there is no way to go back on it.

"I actually forgot that senior brother has not been back to Dingkong Temple for nearly a thousand years. His understanding of formations is extremely low. He can't even pass the first test."

The Yinqiu monk secretly regretted it.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have said those words.

…

Directly in front of the mountain there are numerous figures, tens of thousands of them.

There are more disciples around, and this is one of the sea areas.

The Forbidden Sea extends for millions of miles, and there are hundreds of mountains in the first sea area, and a large number of practitioners gather at each place.

Among them, disciples from underground temples and casual cultivators are studying the secrets and classics, while disciples from ancient temples in various places are trying to decipher the formations. It can be seen from this that Zen Buddhism treats everyone equally on the surface, but in fact it still favors ancient temples and large temples.

How can an idle practitioner have the opportunity to practice formations?

They can only choose occult tomes.

In terms of difficulty, the secret arts books are much more difficult than the formations. Only those with extraordinary talent and understanding can understand the Taoist secrets in a short period of time and enter the next level of the sea.

…

Two days later.

A monk walked to Gu Xiuyun's side.

"Senior Brother Yinshan, how is your enlightenment??" Yinze smiled evilly on his lips, "Junior brother, I'm quite lucky. I figured out the secret of the formation in two days. Do you want me to explain it to you?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. Senior brother has been away from the sect and his understanding of formations is quite low. Even if I say it, you won't be able to understand it."

"It seems that I must take that Xuanling Crystal."

The bald monk walked toward the mountain with a proud look on his face.

The spiritual light curtain was easily torn apart, allowing him to pass through.

Not long after, another monk walked up to Gu Xiuyun and said, "Senior Brother Yinshan is very talented, and I think he will be able to understand the secret arts very quickly. My junior brother is not talented, so I want to make a new contract with him and increase the number of Xuanling Crystals to ten. how??"

"Ten?"

Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly, "You are quite ambitious, so forget it!"

One Xuanling Crystal is still within the range of Douxiao disciples, ten... these monks may not be able to get it together even if they lose their fortune.

At that time, if the Yinqiu monk holds the contract, he will be attacked by a group of people, and he may even be killed.

How could Gu Xiuyun not understand the truth behind holding a jade?

Five million Origin Coins is a great opportunity for Yinqiu Monk, and it will not cause disaster, but five million Origin Coins... it is hard to say.

After Gu Xiuyun left Venerable Jinque's silver palace, many powerful masters of true artistic conception stared at him, not just for the treasures.

The monk was unwilling to give up and said a few more words, but received no response.

I can only helplessly walk towards the mountain and walk through it.
