Seeking Immortality

The matter is divided into two sides, each with its own side.

After Xu Qingfan held back the black-clothed master, Li Yuhan, Dongfang Qingling, Wang Zegang and others used the "Heaven Escape Talisman" to escape. Although they appeared in different places, they all flew to the place where Xu Qingfan had agreed to meet in advance - a hidden valley at the intersection of the Southern Wilderness and the prosperous Middle Earth.

About four or five days later, Dongfang Qingling arrived, Li Yuhan arrived, Lu Qingshang arrived, Wang Zegang arrived, and the other four cultivators from small sects and independent cultivators also arrived.

Then, after the eight people gathered together, one day passed, three days passed, and five days passed, but two people still did not arrive, which made everyone worried.

Among the two people, one was naturally Xu Qingfan, who had held back the black-clothed master before and was now mixed with three Qilins.

And the other one was Jin Qinghan!!

"Junior Brother Jin hasn't returned yet. Did he go back and look for Junior Brother Xu?"

In the hidden valley, Lu Qingshang said worriedly.

"Given the friendship between Master Uncle Jin and Master Uncle Xu, I'm afraid that's the case."

Li Yuhan said with a wry smile.

After hearing what Li Yuhan said, everyone was silent. If it was true as Li Yuhan said, then without any surprise, Jin Qinghan would have died in the hands of the black-clothed master.

Everyone was discussing Jin Qinghan. However, they intentionally or unintentionally avoided the question of why Xu Qingfan hadn't returned yet. He held back a master with his own strength. The ending seemed to have been doomed.

On the other side, Dongfang Qingling was silent during the discussion. Thinking that Xu Qingfan might have turned into a dry skeleton at this moment, Dongfang Qingling felt a panic in his heart. He was at a loss. He didn't know what to do at this time. He just sat there blankly.

But Li Yuhan's eyes flickered with a strange look. Logically, he had been on guard against Xu Qingfan for these years. Xu Qingfan had an accident. He should be happy. But in fact, Li Yuhan felt lost. Or guilty. Perhaps it was because of Xu Qingfan's actions before his death. Or maybe he had gotten used to following Xu Qingfan to do things over the years.

"So, what should we do now?" In silence, Wang Zegang slowly raised his head and asked. His voice was full of bitterness.

In a way, Xu Qingfan's death was a greater blow to him than the people of Jiuhua.

"Go back." Li Yuhan whispered slowly: "At this time, everything we do is in vain."

Dongfang Qingling raised her head suddenly after hearing Li Yuhan's words. She looked at Li Yuhan deeply, then seemed to think of something, and lowered her head again. But her eyes flickered, and I don't know what she was thinking in her heart.

In fact, Jin Qinghan was not dead. He did think about going back to look for Xu Qingfan. Even if Xu Qingfan was killed by the mysterious black-robed master, at least he had to find his body.

But he couldn't. He was trapped.

After Jin Qinghan used the "Heaven Escape Talisman", he also made a mistake. Although this mistake was not as exaggerated as Xu Qingfan's error of tens of thousands of miles in one breath. But it was enough to give Jin Qinghan a headache.

But it was also Xu Qingfan's fault that he had ignored a possible situation after using the "Heaven Escape Talisman". After casting the "Heaven Escape Talisman", the user will be randomly teleported to two to three thousand miles away, but the teleported person cannot control the teleportation location. In other words, after they cast the "Heaven Escape Talisman", they may appear in a very strange location and environment in the next moment.

For example, in the belly of a mountain with no exit at all.

This is the situation of Jin Qinghan at this time.

After Jin Qinghan cast the "Heaven Escape Talisman", he only felt that he was surrounded by spiritual light. His eyes could not see anything, and his mind was in a trance. The next moment, the spiritual light disappeared, and there was darkness in front of him.

Where is this place? It was still daytime when I cast the Sky Escape Talisman.

Jin Qinghan was surprised, and raised his right hand. A spiritual light formed by the gathering of golden spiritual energy suddenly appeared above his head. As the golden light fell, Jin Qinghan finally saw the environment he was in.

What first caught Jin Qinghan's eyes was an empty mountain belly covering an area of ​​more than ten hectares. And the densely packed Buddha and Arhat statues on the four walls of the mountain belly. Although the statues seemed to be carved casually, they were full of sacred majesty, and even this ordinary mountain belly became extremely solemn and majestic.

When Jin Qinghan saw the stone coffin placed in the middle of the mountain belly and the furnishings around the stone coffin, Jin Qinghan finally confirmed that he was in a mysterious cemetery in the mountain belly at this time.

Out of curiosity, Jin Qinghan slowly walked towards the sarcophagus, but saw some small characters carved on the ground in front of the sarcophagus. Looking closely, it turned out that they were carved by humans relying on pure finger strength. Jin Qinghan had already reached this level of strength, but even now, he was far from being able to achieve the natural appearance of the small characters under his feet.

"We are the twelve Zen masters of the Pure Land Sect. We chased and killed our enemy, the spirit demon, but we fell into the trap of the demon. Not only were we poisoned, but we were also trapped in the belly of this mountain and could not get out. It is a pity that we cannot avenge our master, but the law of nature is clear and there will be retribution. The demon will go to the Avici region one day and suffer endless karma. The only regret is that after the demon killed my entire sect, there were only twelve of us left in our Pure Land Sect. We died here, and our five thousand years of teachings and skills have been lost from then on. It is sad and regrettable."

Seeing this row of small characters, Jin Qinghan's heart was filled with endless waves.

Three thousand years ago, Ciyun Temple was still an inconspicuous small temple. The Buddhist sect respected the "Pure Land Sect". Even the fragments of Buddhist skills that Jin Qinghan had learned before came from the "Pure Land Sect".

And the 12th Zen Master of the Pure Land Sect was a well-known figure in the "Pure Land Sect". Although he was a second-generation disciple, he had reached the peak of the Golden Elixir period early, and his Buddhist teachings were boundless. At that time, the "Hua Ling Sect" was powerful and set off the eighth catastrophe in the world of immortal cultivation. They were greedy for the savings of the "Pure Land Sect" for 5,000 years and invaded in large numbers. However, they happened to encounter the 12th Zen Master who was practicing a certain Buddhist teaching in seclusion and encountered almost no major resistance. They destroyed the "Pure Land Sect". When the 12th Zen Master came out of seclusion, he saw a ruin.

Later, there was a legend that the 12th Zen Master was disheartened after this incident and went into seclusion from then on, but he did not expect that there would be such a wave.

The 12th Zen Master died in pursuit of Hua Ling. The 12th Zen Master was already respectable, and part of the skills that Jin Qinghan learned came from the "Pure Land Sect". The 12th Zen Master was also a senior teacher, so after hesitating for a moment, Jin Qinghan slowly knelt in front of the tomb and solemnly performed the kneeling ceremony that he would only use when meeting a teacher.

After three bows and nine kowtows, Jin Qinghan stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly heard a vibration and friction sound, and looked up. The sarcophagus in front of him was slowly opened under the control of a mysterious force, and a dazzling but soft golden light slowly shot out from the sarcophagus.

Jin Qinghan was shocked. He stepped back a few steps subconsciously, then hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked to the side of the sarcophagus. Looking down, his eyes flashed with a mixture of surprise and hesitation.

In the sarcophagus, the sarira tower composed of twelve relics suddenly appeared in Jin Qinghan's eyes.

When Xu Qingfan got the relics of Master Jiuhuan, he just thought it was a piece of chicken ribs, because he didn't practice Buddhism and couldn't borrow the power of the relics at all.

But Jin Qinghan was different. His magical power "Eight Evil Consciousness Kings" was originally transformed into Buddhism. He practiced Buddhism and Taoism. These relics were of great help to him. Once these twelve relics were integrated into his body, Jin Qinghan would have the essence of the spiritual energy and the understanding of the way of heaven that the twelve masters had cultivated during their lifetime. There was no problem at all to break through to the Mahayana stage.

And Jin Qinghan's hesitation also came from this. The twelve masters were respectable predecessors of Buddhism and were even his teachers. The relics were transformed from their corpses after death. Would it be a blasphemy and disrespect to absorb them like this?

After hesitating for a while, Jin Qinghan sighed slightly, waved his sleeves, and put the twelve relics into his sleeves. There were two ideas in his mind, sending the twelve relics to the ruins of the "Pure Land Sect" for burial and absorbing the twelve relics. He kept struggling and fighting.

Jin Qinghan shook his head. He gathered his emotions and turned to walk towards the edge of the mountain. The current task was to get out of the predicament first and then make plans.

When he came to the bottom of the mountain wall, Jin Qinghan gathered his inner spiritual energy, and a golden giant sword slowly appeared in front of him. Just as Jin Qinghan was about to break through the wall, his body suddenly shook and fell into a mysterious state. However, when Jin Qinghan was staring at the various Buddha statues and Arhat carvings on the mountain wall, he suddenly found that these Buddhas and Arhats seemed to have some extremely mysterious laws and heavenly principles. At the same time, the twelve relics he had collected in his sleeves also began to slowly emit Buddha energy, unconsciously affecting Jin Qinghan's mind.

In this way, in this mysterious state, he looked at the pattern carvings on the mountain wall one by one. After looking at each carving for a while, the method of pinching fingers, the law of chanting Buddhist music, and the method of running energy in the body were all deeply imprinted in Jin Qinghan's mind.

At the same time, the twelve relics in Jin Qinghan's sleeves also turned into a piece of spiritual light and slowly merged into Jin Qinghan's body.

At the same time, in the mysterious and strange black mountain.

"Eh!!"

After studying the "Soul Sealing Talisman" for an unknown period of time, Xu Qingfan suddenly let out a light exclamation, with both disbelief and excitement in his voice.

Xu Qingfan pinched his fingers in succession, and a spiritual light appeared and disappeared in his hand. Then Xu Qingfan slowly stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of "Soul Sealing Talisman", and gently pulled it, and saw that the "Soul Sealing Talisman" that seemed to be connected to the "Soul Locking Ring" just fell at his feet.
