Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 363
From Beimo to the Eastern Immortal Realm and then to the Duye Fozong Mountain Gate, one needs to pass through many immortal sects, and even Wuyan Xianzong.

Su Han and Kuxu hid their whereabouts and detoured around the road, speeding all the way and reaching the boundary of Duye Buddha Sect's mountain gate in one day.

Kuxu put away his immortal attire and changed into a simple cassock. Without disturbing the sect-protecting formation or anyone, he quietly entered the Buddhist sect with Su Han.

Although the Duye Buddha Sect is one of the three super-grade immortal sects, the Shanmen can be said to be extremely shabby and low-key compared to the Qing Chi Sword Sect and the Wuyan Immortal Sect that occupies the dragon corpse.

The mountain gate is located on a low mountain, and there are dense forests all over the mountain. The khaki tile roofs of the continuous temples are hidden in the green leaves, making it difficult to see clearly. If a practitioner flies over from above, they may be missed if they don't look carefully. Just ignore it.

Kuxu led Su Han through the shady dense forest and came to an ordinary small monk's hall.

The door of the monk's hall was closed, so Kuxu walked forward and knocked on the door.

After it became quiet inside, the door slowly opened inwards.

Kuxu stepped inside and waved to Su Han behind him.

Su Xuan followed him in.

After entering, he saw a figure meditating in the elegant monk hall.

Kuxu saluted and said, "Brother Abbot, I have brought Benefactor Su."

Su Xuan also bowed slightly: "Abbot Kuchan."

After straightening up, he looked at the abbot in front of him.

Abbot Kuchan looked like an ordinary old monk, with a peaceful expression and his eyes slightly closed, but the deep wrinkles on his face contained a reassuring power.

He was dressed in simple dark monk robes, holding Buddhist beads, and sat quietly, like a green lamp burning slowly in front of the Buddha.

The abbot opened his eyes, glanced at Su Han, and said with emotion: "Donor Su, you are well. I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. It's true that things have changed."

"You're fine." Su Xuan said in a simple greeting.

The last time the two met was a thousand years ago, when he took away the magic lotus seed as the traceless demon, and Abbot Kuchan did not stop him at that time.

Now he has changed his body, and Abbot Kuchan is older, so old that he feels that he may pass away at any time.

Abbot Kuchan raised his palm slightly, and a piece of golden armor appeared in his palm, and said: "Donor Su is looking for this thing, right? I have been waiting for Donor Su for a long time."

Su Han glanced at the golden armor piece but did not reach out to take it.

After learning the truth from the real dragon, the dragon scale fragments did not mean much to him.

He shook his head: "I don't need it anymore."

Abbot Kuchan was startled, and looked at him and Kuxu in slight surprise.

Kuxu nodded meaningfully.

Ku Chan's eyes fell on the dragon scale fragment in his hand, "Does that mean that Donor Su also knows the content recorded on it?"

"Also?" Su Regret noticed the words used by the other party, "Could it be that the abbot knows what the above content is?"

"Yes."

"Is there anyone in your sect who is familiar with Long Wen?"

"No."

"That……"

"I wonder if Benefactor Su would like to hear a story told by this old man?"

"But it's okay to say it. It's better to say that I'm here just for the story today."

Ku Chan smiled and nodded, and then said with deep meaning in his eyes: "Before I tell you, I need to ask, what does Donor Su know?"

Su Han pondered for a moment, and immediately understood the intention of the other party's words.

The other party should also have a prohibition on keeping silent about the existence of the Stone Demon Clan, but if Su Han knew about them, then there would be no scruples about talking about them.

"Everything." Su Han said, "Everything, from the first era to the present, the existence of the Stone Demon Clan, the black stone platform, sacrifices, demon tides, and sparks, I already know them all, except for the part about the Duye Buddhist Sect. , the real dragon didn’t tell me.”

Ku Chan was stunned, and after a long time he shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems like I don't know as much as you do."

He lowered his eyes and said: "This story is passed down orally by every abbot in the Buddhist sect. When Lao Cheng succeeded to the throne, it was passed down to Lao Cheng from the previous abbot.

"Today's Duye Buddhist Sect is founded by Patriarch Zhiming at the beginning of the third era, but according to him, our lineage can only be regarded as a branch.

“Because the real Buddhist sect that transcends karma is over at Sin Island.

“And he was once just the leader of the sect.

"He said that for some reason, he missed the opportunity to enter Sin Continent with others, so he stayed here with the golden armor in his arms.

"He waited for a long time and did not wait for the Sin Continent to open. He did not even know whether the people of the Buddha Sect could safely enter the Sin Continent. In order to prevent the incense of the Buddha Sect from being cut off, he came up with the idea of ​​developing a branch of the Buddha Sect. .

"But you know... in our world, there is a layer of darkness that cannot be defeated or broken through..."

"He walked around the world alone and recruited Buddhists again. Originally he only acted secretly, but when the number of people increased, it was impossible to contain the fire, and he was discovered by Qing Chi Sword Sect, who was also a star.

"The Qing Chi Sword Sect reported it to them, and soon afterwards, the Fo Sect was secretly pursued by them.

"Ninety percent of the disciples died at the hands of a so-called black stone, and Patriarch Zhiming also fell in this massacre.

"The remaining elders and disciples had no choice but to surrender..."

Su Xuan frowned, but soon relaxed a little helplessly.

This new group of people in the Third Era have not personally experienced the baptism of darkness in the First and Second Era, and may be more afraid than resentful of the sudden appearance of extremely powerful black stone objects.

Even if they had heard Patriarch Zhiming talk about the past, but compared with the life and death they faced before them, their desire to survive forced them to choose the latter.

Abbot Kuchan continued: "They accepted the begging of the remnants of the Buddhist sect, promised to let the Buddhist sect gain a foothold in the world, and promoted one of the disciples at that time to be the new suzerain.

"However, the third era is an era of demonic order. Every practitioner cannot be alone, and the Buddha Sect is no exception.

"They require the Buddhist sect to serve them like the Qing Chi Sword Sect and other sects, sending their disciples to participate in the demonic tide that occurs every 500 years and offering golden elixirs."

Ku Chan smiled at this time, "Although our Buddhist sect has succumbed to them, there are some things that are the bottom line. Even if we die, we will not do them.

"Buddhism cannot do such a thing as sending one's own disciples who don't know the truth to die.

“However, the sect master at that time still made some concessions.

"The Buddha Sect will not participate in the demonic tide to harvest the golden elixir, but after the demonic tide ends, the elders and even the head of the sect will voluntarily donate their golden elixirs, fairy fetuses, and fairy spirits in exchange for the next 500 years of the Buddhist sect. The peaceful years..."

"They agreed.

"After all, what they value is only the 'fruit' in the body of the cultivator. As for how it came from, they don't care.

"Then, they imposed a ban on all the disciples of the first generation, so that they could not pass down the true history and the incident of Spark.

"So, 3000 years later, when all the Buddhists who knew the truth passed away, many things were buried in the loess.

“No one knows what happened in the previous era and why they wanted to harvest the golden elixir.

"Every 500 years thereafter, the Buddha Sect will seal off the mountain during the demonic tide and will never participate in the demonic tide.

"In this way of actively sacrificing ourselves, we have survived in this world for more than 2 years.

"Everyone in the world says that the Du Ye Buddhist Sect is a coward, but they have never noticed how many eminent monks have gone into seclusion after every wave of demons..."

After Su Han listened, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Sacrifice or be sacrificed?"

Ku Chan sighed: "The Buddhist sect never does anything to persecute, but for the continuation of the sect, everyone does not have too many worries. He said that if the old man can last another 300 years, next time he will be in the demon tide Finally, it’s time to make some final contributions to the sect.”

Su Han wondered: "But since the first generation disciples have been banned and their inheritance has been cut off, how can you know about Xinghuo now?"

Ku Chan raised the dragon scale fragment in his hand and shook it: "Because of it.

"Although Patriarch Zhiming is dead, he has repeatedly stated that this object is very important and must not be lost. Therefore, this token has been solemnly kept and passed down.

"It wasn't until 1 years ago that an abbot met a dragon tribe collecting herbs in the Dragon's Nest Mirage. The dragon tribe felt the aura of the token on his body and gathered around him. After the abbot took out the golden armor, they and the abbot met him. He said what was recorded in the dragon text above.

"Thus, the Buddha Sect knew about the 'third, the darkest' thing.

"According to those dragon tribesmen, their clan leader also had something called a Spark Token hanging around his neck. The clan leader also mentioned several sect names, but most of them couldn't remember them clearly. They only remembered that there was an immortal mark. .

"Ask them what exactly 'Spark' is, and they vaguely remember that it is related to some war.

"So the abbot of the Buddha Sect at that time guessed part of what happened that year through the contents of the token - Xinghuo should be a group of people who fought against them, and the Duye Buddha Sect was also one of these people!

“It was then that we understood the true identity and mission of the Buddhist sect.”

Su Han thought thoughtfully: "So, you sent Master Kuxu to Xianhen?"

Kuchan did not deny it, and nodded sharply: "The first abbot who knew about this matter has been paying attention to the movements of Xianhen since he left the mirage realm.

"It's just that Xianhen seems to have suffered a heavy blow, and his inheritance has been severely disrupted. He doesn't seem to know his identity as Xinghuo anymore.

"Later, he sent people from the Buddhist sect to find ways to join Xianhen, firstly, to understand the movements of his former partners and take care of them more, and secondly, to wait for an opportunity when the spark rekindled.

“Thus, the habit of placing elders and disciples in Xianhen has been retained.

"Until Junior Brother Ku Jing met you at the Immortal Sect's grand event and heard the word 'Spark' from your mouth, I wanted to see you.

"Until the turmoil in the Beginning Land came to know your identity, I was certain of one thing -

"That is, the opportunity for the spark that the Buddha Sect has been waiting for to be rekindled should have arrived."
