Seeking Immortality

Chapter 8. Undercurrent (Part 1).

Although he was reluctant, after congratulating He Daoren on his enlightenment, Xu Qingfan followed a group of grandmasters and Jindan-stage masters to congratulate Master Jiuhuan in his bamboo house.

Although he had long guessed that Master Jiuhuan's enlightenment would not be that simple, the scene he saw after arriving at the bamboo house still surprised Xu Qingfan.

All the monks of "Ciyun Temple" were gathered around the bamboo house, chanting the scriptures of rebirth, with sad and heavy expressions. In the wonderful Buddhist sound, countless "" characters were printed in the sky, floating and slowly rotating.

It was not Master Jiuhuan who broke through to the Mahayana stage, but Master Bo Guangyan, whom Xu Qingfan was familiar with. Master Jiuhuan died at the moment when Master Bo Guangyan attained enlightenment.

Master Bo Guangyan's enlightenment and becoming a new generation of grandmasters should naturally be congratulated, but the death of Master Jiuhuan, the spiritual leader of "Ciyun Temple", made everyone dare not say too festive words. Therefore, every cultivator who congratulated Master Bo Guangyan finished his congratulations in a few words, and then went to the bamboo house to pay homage to Master Jiuhuan's corpse to show respect.

Bo Guangyan became the first second-generation disciple in the world of immortal cultivation to reach the Mahayana stage. However, considering that although he was called a second-generation disciple, he had cultivated immortals for much longer than most first-generation cultivators, and had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage a long time ago, it was not shocking that he reached the Mahayana stage at this time.

In the previous action with Xu Qingfan, he was defeated by "Sun", not only was his mind severely damaged, but he was also controlled by endless inner demons from then on. At that time, Xu Qingfan took him to see the masters for help, and the masters asserted that although Bo Guangyan was controlled by the inner demon and they had no way to deal with it, once Bo Guangyan broke through his own inner demon, it would be just around the corner for him to become a first-generation master. Now it seems to be true.

In the short time of congratulating Bo Guangyan, Xu Qingfan learned from Bo Guangyan the reasons before and after his breakthrough to the Mahayana stage. It turned out that if Bo Guangyan relied on his own strength, it would take too long to break through the inner demon, but Master Jiuhuan relied on his great magical powers to enter the depths of Bo Guangyan's heart. After a scolding, Bo Guangyan suddenly realized that he not only broke through the inner demon. He also became a master of the generation, while Master Jiuhuan died at the moment when Bo Guangyan attained the Tao because of the exhaustion of his lifespan.

With a complicated mood, Xu Qingfan congratulated Master Bo Guangyan on his attainment and walked towards the bamboo house.

In the bamboo house, Grandmaster Tianhan, the head elders and guardians of Ciyun Temple, were sitting cross-legged in the quiet place of Master Jiuhuan and silently reciting scriptures. The body of Master Jiuhuan was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, his skin still shiny and his expression peaceful. As if he was still alive.

Before meeting Master Jiuhuan, this old monk who yearned for the way of heaven, the oldest and most senior cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation, was undoubtedly one of the cultivators that Xu Qingfan respected the most. But after Xu Qingfan met him, he plotted against Xu Qingfan, and Xu Qingfan still didn't know the reason.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan's mood became more complicated.

Walking to the body of Master Jiuhuan, Xu Qingfan slowly knelt down and kowtowed. No matter what Jiuhuan had done to him, Jiuhuan's status and seniority required Xu Qingfan to maintain a respectful attitude after his death.

Three kowtows.

And just when Xu Qingfan kowtowed for the third time, something strange happened.

"Bang!!!"

Xu Qingfan's forehead just touched the ground. He heard a slight explosion. Dull but distant. As if it came from people's hearts.

Then, Xu Qingfan heard the exclamations of the people in the bamboo house.

Looking up, he found that the corpse of Master Jiuhuan had turned into ashes and drifted to all parts of the world. It disappeared in an instant.

The body that was originally placed on the bamboo bed, now only a fist-sized relic with golden light was left floating quietly in the air.

Because the monks with status entered the bamboo house alone to worship, there were only Xu Qingfan and a group of monks from the "Ciyun Temple" in the bamboo house at this time. After hearing the change, Master Bo Guangyan also rushed to the house.

Seeing the relic, Bo Guangyan seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, and his expression was more shocked than everyone else on the scene.

Then. Something even more incredible happened. After the relic appeared, it slowly flew towards Xu Qingfan who was still kneeling on the ground. And after flying in front of Xu Qingfan, it stopped quietly, as if it belonged to Xu Qingfan.

"The cause of the future is the result of today. I owe him the cause, so I must pay him the result. This is the destiny. Bo Guangyan, after I die, give my relics to Xu Qingfan as my compensation to him."

This was Master Jiuhuan's last words to Bo Guangyan before his death. Because he did not mention what kind of relics it was, Bo Guangyan just kept his doubts in his heart and did not mention it. But in this situation, the relics mentioned by Master Jiuhuan were obviously his relics after his death.

Although they did not understand what Master Jiuhuan owed Xu Qingfan, why he needed to use his whole body of spiritual energy and consciousness after his death and the relics transformed from his understanding of the way of heaven as compensation, the monks of Ciyun Temple could not disobey Master Jiuhuan's legacy. After a debate, they still gave the relics to Xu Qingfan with reluctance on their faces.

The moment he held the relic in his hand, a moderate and peaceful energy yet with endless majesty spread throughout Xu Qingfan's body, making him feel extremely comfortable. At the same time, the little black on Xu Qingfan's shoulder suddenly flew out of the bamboo house with a look of fear on his face. That Buddhist power was the nemesis of the death energy in its body.

But strangely, the "dead air" in Xu Qingfan's body was not affected at all and continued to operate on its own.

Compared with the monks of "Ciyun Temple" who were full of reluctance and regret, Xu Qingfan was more confused than them. He seemed to understand what Master Jiuhuan said. This relic was Master Jiuhuan's repayment to Xu Qingfan to compensate for his calculations on Xu Qingfan. However, this relic was the essence of his spiritual energy, consciousness, and understanding during his lifetime. It was extremely precious. Although he caused Xu Qingfan to only be able to accurately predict the secrets of heaven three times in his life, this compensation was too much, right?

Could it be that Master Jiuhuan had done something else to let Xu Qingfan down?

More importantly, the relic was a Buddhist thing. Although it was extremely precious, even if it was given to Xu Qingfan, Xu Qingfan could not use it at all. Why did he give this relic to Xu Qingfan?

Xu Qingfan was full of doubts.

Only Mr. Liu, who was outside the house, was concentrating on listening to the movement in the bamboo house. He suddenly remembered something and smiled coldly, as if he was mocking someone's hypocrisy.

When Xu Qingfan put the extremely precious relic into his sleeve and walked out of the bamboo house, the "Ronghua Mountain", which had been noisy for more than a hundred days because of the simultaneous breakthrough of two quasi-grandmasters and the death of Master Jiuhuan, finally returned to peace.

Although Xu Qingfan's breakthrough from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan was not worth mentioning compared to He Daoren and Bo Guangyan, and his breakthrough in a small realm could not be called "attainment of the Tao", because of the timing of his breakthrough and the abnormality that occurred during the breakthrough, some bored people still called these hundred days "the three people attained the Tao", and it was passed on and on, and it was actually settled. So much so that ten thousand years later, most people in the world of immortal cultivation began to think that Xu Qingfan became a grandmaster at this time. "Interesting, good tricks."

During these hundred days, Zhang Xusheng, who had been in Ronghua Mountain for an unknown period of time, did not rest for a moment like all the cultivators on Ronghua Mountain. He stood in an unnoticed place, staring at the changes in Ronghua Mountain, with admiration and praise in his eyes.

In front of this elegant guy, there was a table, a chair, a pot and a cup. It was obvious that he was drinking tea while watching the ups and downs of Ronghua Mountain.

Behind Zhang Xusheng, a man in black asked in confusion: "Master, there are only two new masters. What good tricks are they?"

Zhang Xusheng smiled and said: "I'm not talking about the good tricks of the new masters, but the dead Jiuhuan."

"The way of heaven is broad and fair. There is no right or wrong, good or evil. Good suppresses evil for a period of time, and evil suppresses good for a period of time. It can also be regarded as a cycle of heaven. But now..." As he spoke, Zhang Xusheng suddenly stretched out a finger and gently touched the surface of the tea in front of him, causing the tea to fluctuate. "The secrets of heaven, which had been gradually traced, are like this tea, messed up. With the addition of infinite variables, the righteous path will not necessarily decline, and the evil path will not necessarily flourish. I just don't know who Jiuhuan will use to disrupt the heavenly path?"

The secrets of heaven are too ethereal, and the constants and variables are not known by ordinary people. Even many immortal cultivators do not believe in the existence of the fixed numbers of heaven before they reach the Mahayana stage. Only a few people in the world can get a glimpse of its signs, and the man in black is naturally not one of them. So after hearing Zhang Xusheng's words, the doubts on his face deepened.

"The fixed numbers of heaven are forty-nine, and the variable is one. How can this one be mastered? You want someone to disrupt the trajectory of heaven, how can that person withstand the inertia of heaven and the backlash of heaven after being changed? What's more, although I can't see the operation of heaven as clearly as you, I will be able to compete with heaven soon. At that time, all your efforts will be in vain."

Zhang Xusheng muttered to himself.

"It's good that the secrets of heaven are in chaos. Before the way of heaven sets things right again, it's easier to fish in muddy waters."

Zhang Xusheng waved his sleeves, and the table, chairs, and teapot in front of him disappeared in an instant. As he led the man in black away, he suddenly said.qidian, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! )
