From Chapter Seven of Xuanjun

Chapter 23
Dust left.

After saying those acknowledgment words, he took off his previous disguise and left with a deep heart.

"Thank you..."

Shen Yi looked at his back and shook his head and laughed, "Actually, you are wrong about one thing. This is not giving you a favor, but giving you a favor back."

Wu Chen didn't intend to harm Shen Yi, he persuaded Prime Minister Kong to take Shen Yi as his apprentice, Shen Yi was suspected of being suspected by Taoist Gu Mu before, which was Wu Chen's unintentional mistake.

But he poisoned all the vegetarian dishes without any scruples, and did not help to clarify when Shen Yi was locked up as a suspect.

Maybe he thinks that he is right next to him, and he will watch Shen Yi eat all the vegetarian dishes. Maybe he thinks that being wronged for a while is harmless, and Shen Yi will be proved innocent in the end, but he doesn't know that Shen Yi is really walking at the critical moment of life and death. once.

If sent to the abbot, it would be very difficult for Shen Yi to guarantee that his secret would not be discovered.And... Before eating those five poisonous vegetarian dishes, Shen Yi actually couldn't guarantee that his guess was 100% correct, he was also gambling at that time.

If he loses the bet, he will be buried with Bai Jingyun.

So this three-year friendship has come to an end.

At the same time, this encounter also reminded Shen Yi.You never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident. He planned to gradually develop followers and improve himself step by step, but today's experience told him that only by going through the present can he set foot in the future.

It's time to let go of your hands and feet and develop a group of people first. Slowly seeking is not suitable for Shen Yi now.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi went to find Wujue and told him what to do next.

But when he turned around, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"Brother Wuwang."

Wu Yin walked out of Zhike Courtyard and stopped at a place about ten feet away.

Even though the abbot's second disciple had experienced the previous upheaval, he was still calm at the moment, not flustered, and he had the demeanor of a calm master.

At this time, the Zhikeyuan had been taken over by the monks from the Discipline Academy who arrived later, so it was considered free for no reason.He walked in front of Shen Yi and said: "Thanks to Junior Brother Wu Wang who found the real culprit this time, otherwise the temple will really lose face."

If someone really brought him in front of the abbot, regardless of whether it was the real murderer or whether Shen Yi was tricky, anyway, Linglong Tiesha would lose face.

And in the upcoming Unsheltered Conference, Linglong Tiesha might have difficulty maintaining his position because of this.

But after catching the real culprit, the disgraced one might turn into a Jiange.The young hero of his family, the disciple who can be ranked in the middle of the wind and cloud list, was actually poisoned to death by his family, and even bigger news almost broke out.

Jiange's face is truly lost.

"Amitabha, junior brother is just trying to prove his innocence, it's nothing." Shen Yi replied quite modestly.

Wu Yin smiled and said: "The younger brother is humble, but the older brother has to show it. I have already asked the Discipline Academy to ask for credit for the younger brother, and I think the result will come soon."

His self-proclaiming changed from "poor monk" to "I", obviously he also has a friendly intention for Shen Yi.

After all, Xiao Wuzhe participated in this meeting on behalf of Linglong Tiesha, so if something goes wrong, he will inevitably be left behind.

"Goo~"

A sudden cry of hunger broke the politeness of the two, but there was a rumbling sound from the stomach for no reason.

In the previous small unsheathed meeting, Wu Yin kept silent and didn't answer, and the vegetarian food didn't move a single point.This way, of course, the poisoning is avoided, but at this moment, the unbearable protest from the stomach is unavoidable.

Seeing this for no reason, his calm face suddenly became a little uneasy, and it was Shen Yi who took the initiative to rescue him.

"Junior Brother also ate in a hurry before and was not full, why don't you invite Senior Brother Wu Yin to go to the Zhaitang with me to make up for a meal?" Shen Yi said.

"Then let's go."

Wu Yin also let go a little bit, smiled, and took the lead to walk to the cafeteria.

·······················
Monk House, Zhaitang.

The long table is equipped with benches, and sea bowls are used for serving dishes.

Simple and massive, these are the characteristics of the Zhaitang of the Monk Monastery.The monks in the monastery practice martial arts every day, and consume a lot of energy, and they have not yet reached the state of food, so their appetites are naturally larger, and they still eat meat.

The precept against meat in this world has not yet developed to the point of abstinence from meat, but five vegetables with relatively strong smells are not eaten: garlic, shallots, shallots, blue onions, and xingqu.

He also drank alcohol, but the alcohol he drank was extremely low-alcohol vegetarian wine, which was the wine used at the Xiao Wu Zhe meeting earlier.

However, when they reach the state of food, the monks will gradually stop eating meat and only eat vegetarian food. Some ascetic monks will not drink or eat, and live by drinking northwest wind.

At this time, many monks went to Zhikeyuan to watch the excitement, and there were not many people in the dining hall.Shen Yi and Wu Yin didn't have any duties, and they were all wearing gray monk clothes, which didn't attract any attention.

They went to the back kitchen to serve food, sat down in a remote place, and chatted while eating.

As Wucai, there are usually special monks who give him a vegetarian meal. It has been a long time since he came to the restaurant for a meal, and he feels like revisiting the past at this time.

Both of them ate and drank a lot, and when their stomachs were full, the monk returned to his previous calm and calm state, but invisibly, he became acquainted with Shen Yi a lot.

Shen Yi felt that it was almost done, so he asked: "Brother Wu Yin, what did Lin Feng mean by what he said in Zhikeyuan today?"

Although he knew that the catastrophe in Youzhou was related to the sword god of Jiange, and maybe even related to other celebrities, but for the details, he still had to ask Wu Yin, who was the second disciple of the abbot, for advice.

"Junior brother, this meal is really not for nothing."

Hearing the words for no reason, he smiled, obviously expecting something.He pondered for a while, and said: "Forget it, if you really want to talk about this matter, it's not a big secret. If you have the heart, Junior Brother, you will know sooner or later."

He crossed his hands in front of him, covering half of his face, and suddenly there was a glint of darkness in his eyes.

"Junior brother, you should also know that all things have spirits. Apart from the human race, beasts can also step into the path of cultivation if they have spiritual wisdom and breathe out vitality. And if we talk about beasts, we have to mention dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, etc. Divine beasts. These divine beasts are blessed by nature, they can be said to be the darlings of heaven and earth, and they are superior to us and other human races. And three years ago, it was rumored that there were traces of dragons in the west of Youzhou."

dragon!
Shen Yi was unconsciously drawn to the heartstrings.

But all divine beasts are inseparable from the word treasure.Leaving aside any hidden treasures that may exist, the divine beast itself is a treasure.

Dragon scales can be used to cast armor, and dragon blood can be used to make great medicines. According to legend, there is also a dragon element in the body of a dragon that condenses the vitality of the whole body, and if you get it, you can live forever.

Shen Yi could already imagine the madness of those who heard the news.

"Do dragons really exist?" Shen Yi asked.

"Only those who went to search for the dragon know," Wu Yin said in a low voice. "No one knows whether there is really a dragon. We only know that a great battle broke out near Kaiming Mountain in Youzhou, and the battle was fierce. Even the leylines were broken, causing an unprecedented earthquake in Youzhou, and most of Qingtianguan, which was built on the leylines, collapsed as a result."

"After the battle, only a mess was left on the scene. The latecomers can only find out through the remaining traces that the people who participated in the battle should be the 'sword god' Mo Wentian, the world-defying demon king of the devil, and the master of Buddhism. But in this battle Not long after that, 'Sword' Baichou suddenly cured his congenital illness, began to practice martial arts, and made rapid progress within three years, and is now the fifth in the ranking. This makes people have to wonder whether the sword god has benefited."

"At the same time, the survivors of the Youzhou catastrophe, as well as those whose relatives and friends died under the iron heel of Dali, will also hate Dali outside the pass, and the people who caused the earthquake, right?" Shen Yi also lowered his voice and said softly.

All the changes stemmed from that great war. If it weren't for that great war, the earth veins would not be broken, Qingtian Pass would not collapse, and it would be basically impossible for Dali's army to enter the pass. Naturally, no one would die in the war.

Thinking about it now, Bai Jingyun wants to force Wucai to express his position. Maybe what he wants to see is not Linglong Tiesha getting involved in the war between the two dynasties, but that one of the three Buddhist temples still maintains a detached stance .

If Linglong Tiesha was involved in the war between the two dynasties, what about those who caused the earthquake in Youzhou?After repelling Dali, the next step is probably to deal with them.

"This matter is very involved. It is already confirmed that people from my Buddhist sect are involved in it. Master has to be cautious." Wu Yin sighed softly.

This person in the Buddhist sect may be from other sects, or from his own family. If possible, the abbot must want to investigate quietly to find out whether there are people involved in the temple, and then decide how to deal with it.

In addition, Linglong Tiesha has never been involved in the war between the two dynasties, so there are naturally some people in the temple who want to continue to maintain their original position and do not care about secular matters.

But in the temple, there are also people who are full of hatred. Now they are sharpening their knives and only waiting for revenge. Naturally, they are unwilling to stay in a place outside the world and chant scriptures and worship Buddha every day.

The differences between the two parties have caused the conflicts in the temple today, and this is the primary difficulty that Linglong Tiesha has to face.

But Shen Yi thought more deeply, or in other words, he thought of some things that he refused to say for no reason.

If... If there is really a monk who participated in the events of that year in the temple, then he must be the best of the Kongzi generation, or even the Lingzi generation.It is very possible that among the current opposition, there is an "if" that is secretly operating to prevent Linglong Tiesha from leaving his original position.

It can only be said that even in this worldly place of pure cultivation, the entanglement of cause and effect in the world of mortals is unavoidable. Everyone is a fish in the sea of ​​suffering, and no one can truly feel at ease.

And the same situation may not only happen to Linglong Tiesha, but also to other sects.

Jiange is not a Youzhou sect, and there are avengers like Lin Feng in the sect, not to mention the rest of the Youzhou local sects.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi felt that the situation was undercurrent and turbulent. He, a little monk, might die in the undercurrent if he was not careful.

Don't you see, even a young talent like Bai Jingyun died of poisoning, and his death was extremely embarrassing.

After Wu Yin finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, but just as he stood up, he saw a monk in yellow robes walking into the dining hall, after watching for a while, he walked towards this table.

He came closer, looked at Shen Yi, raised his palms and said, "But Junior Brother Wuwang? Uncle Kongxiang wants to see you."

The cheap master who had just been punished to face the wall suddenly wanted to see him, and Shen Yi reckoned that the matter of Zhikeyuan had already reached Kong Xiang's ears.

He got up to return the salute, and said, "Brother, please lead the way."

Seeing this, Wu Yin said: "It's just right, junior brother can also ask Master Kongxiang about how to choose the reward. If there is no accident, the reward for junior brother will be a unique technique in the temple. Master Kongxiang Shudang can help the younger brother make the most suitable choice."

"Thank you brother for reminding me."

Shen Yi thanked Wu Yin, and followed the yellow-clothed monk to the Discipline Academy.

The location of the Discipline Academy is not in the temple, but in a gorge close to the back mountain.

As the only law enforcement agency in the temple, the Discipline Academy has at least [-]% of the combat power of Linglong Tiesha.It not only has the responsibility of maintaining the clear rules of the temple, but also guards the magic cave part-time. Therefore, the courtyard is not located in the core area of ​​Linglong Tiesha, but in a remote mountain gorge.

Shen Yi followed the monk all the way through the palaces and pavilions, and walked through a small forest along a road paved with blue bricks, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Between the two mountains in front of him, a faint shadow of a bell fluttered in the air, exuding a faint golden light. Under the huge shadow of the bell, there was a courtyard with the words "School of Disciplines" hanging on it.

However, the monk did not bring Shen Yi into the discipline courtyard, but walked up a small path up the mountain.

The mountains on both sides of the gorge have no vegetation, only bare rocks, which look out of place with the vibrant back mountains even in autumn.

The two followed the trail to the mountain on the left side of the Discipline Academy, walked all the way to the mountainside, and stopped in front of a cave.

The monk shouted to the cave: "Uncle Kongxiang, Junior Brother Wuwang has been brought here."

After that, he went directly down the mountain without waiting for an internal response.

There is a faint light curtain rippling on the bare cave entrance, and a "卍" character can be vaguely seen undulating on the light curtain.The brilliance illuminated part of the passage into the cave, but the interior was still shrouded in darkness.

This situation is really completely different from Shen Yi's imagination of facing the wall.

As far as he knew, those monks who committed crimes were usually locked in the meditation room inside the Precepts Academy facing the wall, and he had never heard of monks facing the wall in the cave.

But he didn't think for long, the voice from inside directly interrupted Shen Yi's increasingly suspicious thoughts.

"Come in directly."

The sound coming from the cave is indeed empty.

It doesn't look like this is another accident.

'That's right, even if the undercurrent in the temple is raging now, how could it be possible for me to encounter accidents again and again.Sure enough, recent encounters have made me too sensitive. '

Shen Yi laughed at himself, stretched out his hand slowly, and touched the faint light curtain.

It was as if he had passed through a layer of water curtain, and with a touch of refreshment, he passed through the light curtain and walked into the cave.
