The first taboo in the world

Chapter 435 Undercurrent (1)

Although the Taoist Artifact Classic mainly talks about the art of refining Taoist instruments, it is more like an encyclopedia of cultivation. It covers an extremely wide range of things around the Taoist Artifacts. Today, Xu Zifan fully understood it, sketched the Taoist marks, and copied it from the air. All one hundred and eight Tao talismans enriched his accumulation and strengthened his own foundation, making him more clear about his future growth direction and having a clear goal.

After fully understanding the Heavenly Demon Seal and Taoist Sutra, the goal of practicing in seclusion here has been temporarily accomplished. At this moment, Xu Zifan sat cross-legged in the cave, eyes slightly closed, thinking about what he had gained over the past few days, and then left the seclusion again. .

Next, although he still walked south, he no longer concealed his whereabouts. Instead, he walked exclusively to places with dense crowds. Maintaining a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow, he left one human city and entered another. A city, over and over again.

During this process, he was practicing some of the techniques and methods he had acquired recently while also waiting for someone.

To people in this world, he is now considered a humanoid treasure house. Whether it is coveted skills or magical weapons, the quantity he possesses exceeds the collections of most sects in the world.

A few days ago, he deliberately released the news that no matter who is good or evil, as long as he brings out precious medicinal herbs, he can exchange them for magic weapons, magic weapons, or peerless techniques.

Since ancient times, magical magic weapons have moved people's hearts, and there have been countless battles and bloody battles for them, so Xu Zifan is not afraid that no one will come to exchange them with him.

And this is indeed the case, but on the first day after he came out of seclusion, more than thirty people came with countless medicinal herbs to exchange magical weapons and techniques with him. And these people, no matter what sect they came from, whether they were good or evil, As long as he doesn't have any evil intentions towards him, he will do business with him.

This is a win-win situation. What Xu Zifan needs is countless medicinal herbs to enhance his health and quickly increase his strength in a short period of time. However, those who come to redeem magic weapons either lack the skills or do not have suitable objects to fight against the enemy. , so the two naturally hit it off.

This situation lasted for more than ten days, and everything went very smoothly. Xu Zifan also exchanged countless medicinal herbs. During this period of time, no one came to rob the Tao again. Perhaps he was frightened by his reverse looting and annihilation some time ago. , no one from either the good or the evil will come to try against him again.

Everything seemed to be going well. Xu Zifan used the resources in his hands to exchange for countless herbs that he currently needed.

However, in these days, the world of monasticism was shaken by this, as if a hurricane swept across, and everyone's attention was focused on Xu Zifan.

The vast land of China is boundless. Ever since the demon sect retreated from Qingyun Mountain hundreds of years ago and fled to the wild northwest, until today, the righteous path has flourished and the evil spirits have retreated. In such a prosperous age of righteous path, how can any demon dare to walk around the world so unscrupulously? Now that Xu Zifan is defined as a demon by Tianyin Temple, he is ruthless and cleanses the sect along the way. How can countless righteous monks tolerate such a demon running rampant in the world?

However, some people claim that the so-called demon Master Pufan did not harm innocent people and that all the people he killed were evil people.

"Nonsense, that Canglan sect is my righteous and famous sect. Although the ordinary demon did not kill the Canglan sect's disciples, he only coerced the heroes of Canglan sect and looted his sect. He did so many evil things. He is not considered a demon. What is it? "

"Yes, there is also the Xuankong Temple. The monks in the temple are compassionate and save all sentient beings. Each one of them is the reincarnation of the Buddha. However, the ordinary demon has plundered the countless treasures and scriptures in the temple for hundreds of years. Such behavior, If you’re not a demon yet, then what are you?”

Some people stood up to object, thinking that what Xu Zifan did was simply the behavior of a demon. He had no mercy from a monk and was a complete demon.

"A great master fell into the devil's way, which is really a misfortune for my righteous cultivation. None of the great Buddhist powers in Tianyin Temple can save him. Now we can only slay the devil with tears in order to restore peace to this world and the world." Peace!”

Some righteous cultivators proposed to unite many comrades to slay the demons together, and countless righteous cultivators went straight to the three major righteous sects in the world, hoping that a real master would come forward and organize the world's comrades to slay the demons together.

Therefore, during this period of time, whether it is Tianyin Temple, Qingyun Gate, or Fenxiang Valley, there have been countless righteous people coming and going to discuss the matter of eliminating demons.

It's just that among these people, there are young knights who have just debuted, full of passion and are dedicated to slaying demons, and there are also people with deep roots in the city. What they think and think cannot be known to outsiders.

For a moment, the world of cultivation in the world was like a sea, with undulating waves, but no one knew how many undercurrents were surging beneath the surface of the water.

In fact, even the three righteous sects that hold the leading position in the world have different ideas and purposes regarding Xu Zifan's affairs.

Mount Sumeru, Tianyin Temple.

"Two senior brothers, if you are willing to go down the mountain and kill the demons, you will definitely kill Xu Zifan and recover the lost things in our temple. Can you let me go?"

Master Pu Kong, whose face was like a glaring Vajra, spoke. At this time, his face was full of pleading, and he was begging Master Pu Hong, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, and Master Pu De beside him who were sitting on the futon in front of him.

Master Pude closed his eyes slightly, put one hand on his chest, and kept twisting a string of Buddhist beads in the other hand. His lips moved slightly, and he recited the Buddha's words silently. Obviously, he did not intend to respond. He was just practicing "hard meditation". At this time, he The sadness on his face was even worse than before, it was hard to hide, and he looked gloomy.

At this time, Master Puhong seemed to have also practiced "Bitter Meditation". His face was very sad, no less sad than Master Pude who specialized in "Bitter Meditation". If there were outsiders in the Buddhist hall at this time, they would definitely be surprised. I don't understand, it turns out that the Buddha also had such sorrow.

"Junior brother, what if you find Xu Zifan? Can you capture him?"

Master Puhong sighed, Xu Zifan's profound Taoism was rare in the world. The huge Tianyin Temple, with thousands of years of inheritance and countless masters, could not do anything to this man. Ever since the battle between Tianyin Temple and Xu Zifan, he had regrets and anger in his heart. But today, it all turned into a helpless sigh.

On Mount Sumeru that day, combined with the power of many experts from Tianyin Temple, they were unable to stop Xu Zifan. Now that Xu Zifan has left Tianyin Temple and descended from Mount Sumeru, he is like a dragon returning to the sea or a bird entering the sky. He and others can defeat him. What can I do?

It's just that Tianyin Temple has been passed down for thousands of years, and now it offends such a person. In the future, the other party will be resentful and come to take revenge. How can I and others resist it?

Thinking of this, Master Puhong felt sad, so he could only use Tianyin Temple's energy in the monastic world to create enemies for Xu Zifan as much as possible. Firstly, he would use the world's monastic world to contain Xu Zifan, and secondly, he would also create time for himself and others.

He and others have already started practicing the art of refining the gods. It is indeed ingenious and has established a new path. It is fundamentally different from the practices of various sects in the world of monasticism. Once you practice it to the depths, you can even see the legendary soul soul. This They are working hard to practice the techniques left by Xu Zifan, and have achieved extraordinary results, which are mutually confirmed with the true method of Brahma Prajna. As time goes by, everyone in Tianyin Temple will definitely be able to make further progress.

This is the vitality, and it is also the fundamental reason why Master Puhong can persevere after the Tianyin Temple was robbed.

And, in addition to this, there is the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book.

On that day, this volume of heavenly book was manifested in the wordless jade biscuit. Although Xu Zifan obtained the true method, he and others were not blind, and they all memorized it. After carefully studying the true method of the demon sect in this legend, After that, regarding the practice of Brahma Prajna, I and others gained a deeper understanding and a different understanding. After some time of meditation, it is inevitable that the Taoist practice will be further advanced.

These two things can be said to be the good news for Tianyin Temple in recent days.

Thinking of this, Master Puhong was no longer so miserable, but when he thought of the Silver Wall True Body Refining Technique passed down by Xu Zifan, Master Puhong's face became sad again, and even became a little angry.

Because during this period of time, many people in Tianyin Temple have practiced this kind of body refining technique. It had some effect at first, and their physical fitness was significantly enhanced. However, when it came to condensing the blood energy dragon, it could no longer be successful.

If a person is like this, it can be said that this person is not suitable for practicing this technique or that his talent is limited and it is difficult to practice it. However, all those who try to practice this technique are stuck at this stage and cannot continue to practice, which is a problem.

Thinking of this, Master Puhong felt hatred towards Xu Zifan. In his opinion, Xu Zifan was deceiving himself and others with fake skills, otherwise no one would be able to master them.

However, while Master Pu Hong felt resentment towards Xu Zifan because of this matter, he also couldn't understand why there was no problem in refining the divine arts since Xu Zifan was not sincere in making deals with him and others.

Master Puhong thought about it here for ten days and couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only attribute what Xu Zifan did to the behavior of a person in the devil's path, because there is no logic in the behavior of a person in the devil's path. It's all about preference, it's all about the moment.

"Two senior brothers, even if we die, we will still find the things that belong to Tianyin Temple. We will definitely not let Xu Zifan go unpunished!"

Master Pukong has always had a bad temper, and he is also known as the angry-eyed Vajra in this sacred place of Sumeru Buddhism. At this moment, seeing the sad faces of the two senior brothers, he felt very uncomfortable. He actually wanted to go down the mountain to find Xu Zifan again and fight to the death with him.

"Hey! Junior brother, Xu Zifan's Taoism is unfathomable. Looking across the entire monastic world, perhaps only the Qingyun Sect's Immortal Killing Sword Formation can subdue him. If you go down the mountain to find him now, won't you be wasting your wealth and life in vain?" Hong opened his mouth and sighed again.

"But... but... let Xu Zifan take away my temple's thousand-year treasure? Junior brother, I can't bear this anger!" Master Pukong naturally understood the gap in strength between himself and Xu Zifan, and was extremely helpless. He could only use his fists It makes a squeaking sound.

After hearing this, Master Puhong was silent for a long time, his face became even more gloomy and uglier. After a while, he sighed again and slowly said word by word: "If you can't bear it, you have to bear it!"

After Master Puhong finished speaking these seven short words, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, closed his eyes and stopped speaking, but the look of sorrow on his face became even heavier.

"Junior brother, listen to what he says. During these days, you should not go down the mountain and practice with peace of mind. That Xu Zifan is a true demon and is no longer the business of our Tianyin Temple family!"

Next to him, Master Pu De's eyes were extremely profound and he also spoke at this time.

Master Pukong was originally very uncomfortable when he saw the presiding brother like this. Now, after hearing what this unfathomable senior brother said, he was a little startled for a moment. Then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, although the sad look on his face was still there. , but there is also a hint of smile, which is a little inexplicable and a little weird.

Next, Pukong stopped insisting and didn't mention going to find Xu Zifan. Instead, he directly announced that he would practice the true Dharma in seclusion.

For a time, on Mount Sumeru, the bells were ringing, the sun was rising and setting, and the monks were practicing hard without being disturbed by the outside world. Although the world was turbulent, this Buddhist holy land was even more calm and peaceful.

Qingyun Mountain, Qingyun Gate!

Regarding the matter of Xu Zifan, some righteous cultivators went to the mountain for help, hoping that the Qingyun Sect would once again lead the righteous path in the world to fight against the "ordinary" demon and restore peace to the world.
