The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 82
"This sound?"

On the other side, Pei Wende had just stepped out of the temple gate when he heard roars coming from the Daxiong Palace with his back feet.

"Is it the roar of a tiger?"

Pei Wende, who had experienced the "Mulian Temple Incident", immediately realized who the owner of this voice was.

With a sudden change in his face, he gave up his original plan to go down the mountain to buy medicine without hesitation, turned around and ran in the direction of Zen Master Lingyou.

Zen Master Lingyou is a generation of Buddhist masters, yes, he did have the mighty power to subdue dragons and subdue tigers when he was young.

However, Zen Master Lingyou is already old and frail, and coupled with the hard work and energy he has spent on Pei Wende over the years, he has long since lost his previous glory.

At least in Pei Wende's eyes, this guy who has been hiding his injuries is just a stubborn old man who is getting old.

"Master!!"

So when Pei Wende rushed to the entrance of the main hall in three steps at a time, he was so anxious that he didn't directly refer to Chan Master Lingyou as an old monk this time.

"you……"

Different from what Pei Wende imagined, at this moment, Zen Master Lingyou was just twirling his prayer beads calmly, as if he hadn't heard the roar of the tiger just now.

Monk Huiji, who appeared in the hall first, hugged Li Yanran who was unconscious in a "princess hug", with a rare embarrassment on his face.

"... are you all right?"

It wasn't until this time that Pei Wende, who was belatedly aware of it, finished his sentence.

"Well, it seems that you are all right."

Quietly glanced at the monk Huiji next to him, Pei Wende always felt that if he said one more inappropriate words, this lawless monk would definitely push himself to the ground and beat him up violently.

"Did I come at the wrong time? Why don't Master and I give you some private space?"

The eyeballs rolled unconsciously, and the always courageous Pei Wende suddenly had a feeling of wanting to touch the tiger's butt, and he also got a look from the monk Huiji as he wished.

"Ahem, I'm joking..."

Pei Wende, who resolutely admitted his cowardice, did not dare to continue teasing Hui Ji, and turned his attention to Zen Master Lingyou who was watching all this with great interest.

"What the hell just happened?"

......................................................................................................

After a while, Pei Wende finally learned what happened to Li Yanran from Zen Master Lingyou despite Huiji's eyes from time to time.

"No wonder her face is so ugly."

Nodding suddenly, what Pei Wende recalled at this moment was Li Yanran's bleak face as white as paper when he first met him.

"It turned out that she was infected and possessed by the evil spirit of the evil spirit."

Think about Zhangjia Village three months ago, just being infected by the mandrill's evil spirit, the whole village fell seriously ill.

If Pei Wende hadn't acted in time to exorcise them with the blood of pure yang and the Ksitigarbha Sutra, they might have suffered from more than just a serious illness.

The grown-up man might be able to carry it through with his own blood, but the children and women in the village would definitely not be able to carry it through.

Even so, the mandrill's evil spirit still remains in Zhangjiacun, and there is no way to dispel it in a short time.

It is conceivable how much pressure Li Yanran, who was infected by the more sinister ghost aura, has endured during this period.

"However, what happened to the roar of the tiger just now?"

Speaking of this, Pei Wende suddenly remembered the roar of a tiger just now.

"Is the tiger still alive?"

Although Pei Wende didn't witness the tiger's death with his own eyes, judging from all the existing signs that happened in Mulian Temple, the giant tiger with hanging eyes and white forehead was already dead and could not die anymore.

This point, both Huiji and Yuande monks who were also in Mulian Temple at that time can prove that there is no such thing as a mistake.

"Tiger is indeed dead, this is an unquestionable fact."

It was not Chan Master Lingyou who spoke, but Hui Ji who had been standing by without interrupting.

"However, that doesn't mean that all the 'things' that symbolize tiger existence are gone."

The tiger is the king of the mountains and forests, a monster who has practiced for an unknown number of years...

Hui Ji never thought that its influence would disappear immediately after death, just like he wouldn't naively think that Li Yanran's being possessed by ghost energy was just a coincidence.

"Tiger left his inner alchemy to his 'daughter'."

As soon as Huiji said these words, the whole hall suddenly fell into silence.

Pei Wende was surprised, while Zen Master Lingyou was silent as expected, waiting quietly for Huiji's further explanation.

"Wait, before you asked me to escort Li Yanran home with you, was it also because of the inner alchemy of the tiger?"

His eyes widened suddenly, only then did Pei Wende realize that the reason why Hui Ji escorted Li Yanran home back then was actually not as simple as he said.

"You have discovered the existence of Neidan since then!"

It was clearly a questioning sentence pattern, but Pei Wende adopted an affirmative tone here.

"I was only vaguely skeptical at the time, but I wasn't sure if the guess was true."

The inner alchemy is something only for monsters who have achieved success in cultivation, and its importance is equivalent to the golden alchemy of Taoism and the golden body of Buddhism.

Its nature is not only private, but also almost impossible to be exploited by outsiders.

Therefore, Huiji couldn't believe it at first, that Li Yanran, who was a mortal, could inherit the tiger's inner alchemy without any negative impact on herself.

"That's because that tiger washed away all the demonic energy in its inner alchemy before it died..."

"There is only the purest natal vitality left in that inner alchemy, so it can be accepted by mortals with mortal bodies."

Zen Master Lingyou spoke at this time, and he, who is well-informed, saw the mystery at a glance.

However, forcibly removing all the monster energy in his inner alchemy, leaving only the vital energy that best suits Li Yanran's physique, the process in the middle is not as easy as Chan Master Lingyou said.

Not to mention anything else, the pain the tiger endured in this process alone is tantamount to forcibly cutting out its own heart, and then chopping up the heart and cutting it into pieces to make a meal.

"Thanks to the purest natal vitality, this girl can persist until now."

Speaking up to this point, even if I have seen the worldly Zen Master Lingyou, I couldn't help but cast another amazed look at Li Yanran.

"I'm a little curious now, who sent this girl to Tongqing Temple."

"If she comes a few days late, even with the support of that pure natal vitality, her body will collapse because she can't bear the conflict between the two strands of 'Qi'."

Hearing what Zen Master Lingyou said, Pei Wende and Huiji looked at each other, and a name came to mind in unison.

"Monk Yuande!"

"It's Yuande of Mulian Temple!"
