Chapter 562 The unspeakable secret
Li Xuan turned around and saw Master Chenghai looking at him, and he realized that he was in trouble.

As expected, Master Chenghai pointed at Li Xuan with trembling fingers, his expression full of excitement.

Li Xuan and Master Chenghai stared at each other for an unknown period of time.

Master Chenghai's disciple Yuanxin was the first to break free from the restraints and said hurriedly:
"Master, what are you doing?"

Yuanxin felt a headache when she saw Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince who were still fixed in place.

Although their Ci'en Temple is the largest temple in the capital, how could they be disrespectful to the princes and princesses?
If they angered the royal family of Daxing, how would Ci'en Temple survive in the capital?

Just as Yuanxin was getting anxious, she suddenly discovered a little black cat on the ground, staring at its master, neither moving.

And his master was pointing at the little black cat excitedly, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing Master Chenghai's look, Yuanxin thought that his master was still in a state of "not being able to speak", so he didn't take it seriously.

But this little black cat made Yuanxin feel suspicious.

"Wasn't this cat walking out just now?"

"When did you turn around and glare at Master?"

"Did Master get angry because of being glared at?"

After these questions, Yuanxin became even more troubled.

"Master, please untie him quickly. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

"cat!"

Who would have thought that Master Chenghai didn't even bother to untie Princess Ankang and the others from their immobilization. He just hurriedly uttered a word to remind his disciples.

"cat?"

Yuanxin looked at it in confusion, and found that the little black cat, which had been motionless, slowly paced, wagging its tail, and looked at the two of them warily.

When meeting Li Xuan's gaze, Yuan Xin couldn't help but feel a trace of fear from the bottom of her heart. Unable to suppress it, she hurriedly recited a few verses of the Heart Sutra to calm herself down.

But while silently reciting the Heart Sutra, Yuanxin couldn't help feeling shocked.

He is a fifth-rank warrior and a direct disciple of Master Chenghai. His strength is considered to be among the best in Ci'en Temple, but now he is frightened by a cat.

No warrior would doubt this intuition.

Yuanxin was also convinced that Li Xuan possessed the strength to threaten him.

Li Xuan paced back and forth, keeping a wary eye on the two of them, while he slapped Princess Ankang, Yu'er and the Eighth Prince with his tail, revealing Master Chenghai's immobilization technique.

He had untied himself once before, so he was quite familiar with the process.

What made Li Xuan feel interesting was that by removing the immobilization spell, Li Xuan was actually able to absorb an extremely pure golden true qi, which was then transformed into a trace of yin and yang true qi through the five elements evolution to strengthen himself.

"The great way of the world encompasses everything."

"There is actually a way to use true energy like this."

Li Xuan seemed to have some understanding of the principle of the immobilization technique.

Master Chenghai achieves the effect of making the target motionless by applying pure golden qi to the target, which makes the target's body develop a solid property.

The carrier for transmitting the golden true qi is the word shouted by Master Chenghai.

To a certain extent, this is based on a similar principle to secret transmission, except that the technique is more advanced.

Li Xuan only had a rough understanding of the principle at this time, but it was impossible for him to replicate it.

The paths of the top three rank warriors all have their own special features.

Judging from Master Chenghai's current methods, his Taoism has extremely strong control capabilities.

If you are caught like this during a battle, even if it's just a pause, it will be a huge flaw in the eyes of warriors of the same level.

"This old guy's teachings are really outrageous!"

Realizing the horror of Master Chenghai, Li Xuan became extremely wary of this old monk.

Princess Ankang and the others were now freed from their spell and looked somewhat bewildered.

They turned around and found Li Xuan's small figure protecting them, separating Master Chenghai and Yuanxin.

Princess Ankang frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on.

The Eighth Prince asked directly:
"Master, is there anything else?"

"Why do you want to stop us from leaving?"

The eighth prince's tone seemed a little cold.

Master Chenghai could have just asked to keep them, but he used his ability for no reason.

It’s okay for the Eighth Prince, but he has been immobilized by Master Chenghai more than once or twice.

But Princess Ankang didn't deserve to be treated like this.

Princess Ankang was not that familiar with Ci'en Temple.

To put it bluntly, Master Chenghai was somewhat disrespectful to the Daxing royal family.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Yuanxin quickly came out to smooth things over:
"Don't be upset, Your Highnesses. Master must be so anxious for a reason. Perhaps he suddenly remembered something important and wants to tell Your Highnesses."

There was a slight hint of sweat on Yuanxin's forehead.

After so many years of hard work, Ci'en Temple has finally achieved some results, which cannot be lost in one day.

Having offended the Daxing royal family, their temple will face difficulties everywhere in the capital.

When Yuan Xin thought of this, she couldn't help but complain in her heart:

"Master, please say something!"

Yuan was so anxious that he kept signaling to his master, but Master Chenghai was only looking at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also noticed something was wrong.

At first he just thought that he had been exposed and that Master Chenghai had seen through his true identity as the Chosen One.

But now it seems that something is wrong.

Master Chenghai was very excited, but not to that extent.

After all, Li Xuan cultivated the Yin-Yang Qi by using the body of a cat. In Ye Lao's words, it was like a scorpion pooping, unique throughout history.

If Master Chenghai discovered this, he would be more excited than he is now.

Although Master Chenghai is also very excited now, his excitement is filled with joy.

"This old man may be excited, but what's the point of being happy?"

Master Chenghai was excited for a long time, and finally managed to utter a word, pointing at Li Xuan and saying:
"Tiger!"

The others were confused, and Princess Ankang patiently explained:
"Master Chenghai, Xuan is a cat, not a tiger."

"The tiger should be bigger. I have a big white tiger at home."

Princess Ankang explained patiently, but Master Chenghai didn't listen to a word he said. He just kept pointing at Li Xuan excitedly.

Yuan Xin, on the other hand, looked at Li Xuan thoughtfully, with a confused look on his face, but he still said:

"Your Highnesses, please forgive me. Could you please sit down again and give my master a chance to apologize for his previous rudeness and explain."

Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince looked at each other, somewhat unsure, and still stood where they were.

At this time, the Eighth Prince said:

"He just said that Ci'en Temple owed my mother's family a big favor, so they shouldn't harm us. Ankang, why don't you sit down and listen?"

Princess Ankang looked directly at Li Xuan. Li Xuan frowned but nodded.

Master Chenghai is a top-three rank expert. If he really had bad intentions, he would have taken action long ago.

Secondly, in the capital, the identities of Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince are their best amulets. This is the advantage of having a powerful force.

Seeing that Li Xuan also agreed, Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince sat down again, waiting for Master Chenghai's explanation.

Yuanxin went to Master Chenghai and whispered a few words in his ear, as if asking something.

Master Chenghai also slowly calmed down from his excitement and waved to Yuanxin. Yuanxin immediately reached out his hand, and Master Chenghai wrote quickly on Yuanxin's hand with his fingers.

Li Xuan saw this scene and silently climbed back into Princess Ankang's arms, and understood in his heart:

"This old monk is really inconvenient to talk. Is he injured?"

His eyes rolled around, and he remembered that when he had just asked for an audience, the people from Ci'en Temple had said that Master Chenghai was meeting other guests. Perhaps there was a connection there.

Soon, a look of surprise appeared on Yuanxin's face, and her eyes also turned to Li Xuan, looking at him carefully for a few seconds.

But he quickly retracted his gaze and explained to Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince:

"Your Highnesses, first of all, I would like to apologize to you for Master's rude behavior."

After saying that, Master Chenghai and Yuanxin bowed solemnly to the two of them.

Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince felt puzzled.

"What is going on?" asked the eighth prince.

"Actually, Master would like to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for a favor."

"To be exact, I want to ask for your little black cat."

Yuanxin said sincerely.

"Axuan?"

When Princess Ankang heard this, she couldn't help but hug Li Xuan tightly in her arms.

"Your Highness, can I confirm with you that your cat is not ordinary, right?"

"Ah Xuan?" Princess Ankang tilted her head and continued, "Ah Xuan is just okay. In fact, he is not much different from an ordinary house cat."

When the Eighth Prince heard this answer, his eyes twitched and he silently turned to look at Princess Ankang, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

But after thinking about it, he finally decided to shut up. After all, he and Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms met eyes again.

Looking at Li Xuan's calm expression, the Eighth Prince clearly felt the threat.

Only after seeing the Eighth Prince calm down did Li Xuan retract his gaze.

"Good job, little girl. Who knows what the old monk wants me to do?"

Yuanxin looked at his master with some embarrassment.

They had just rejected Princess Ankang's request, so they naturally expected this.

But Princess Ankang spoke politely and her attitude was very sincere.

Although the content is a bit nonsense, there is nothing we can do about it.

The master's judgment and his own intuition can prove the extraordinary nature of the little black cat in Princess Ankang's arms.

But they won’t admit it, do you have any solution?
Master Chenghai saw Yuanxin looking at him in embarrassment, but still nodded firmly and let him continue.

Yuan Xin did not hesitate and said bluntly:
"Your Highness, there is actually a difficult problem in the temple recently, and Master thinks your cat may be able to help."

Without waiting for Princess Ankang to continue her nonsense, Yuan Xin continued:
"There is no lack of exchanges between Buddhist temples. Recently, the Fuhu Temple happened to come to our temple to exchange Buddhist teachings."

"This Fuhu Temple has some connection with our Ci'en Temple. If you look closely, they were originally one temple, but later developed into two different ones."

"This visit to Fuhu Temple was not just for the purpose of exchanging Buddhist teachings, but also to bring the two temples back together as one."

Hearing this, Li Xuan smiled slightly. He never expected that this quiet Buddhist place was nothing but a drama.

I guess Fuhu Temple is here to ask for some benefits after seeing the good development of its fellow temples.

But Ci'en Temple had worked so hard to develop itself, so how could it just give it away to others for free?

It is estimated that there were some unpleasant things when the two temples were separated.

But Li Xuan didn't understand what this had to do with him.

But Yuanxin's next words made Li Xuan realize that he still underestimated these monks.

"Fuhu Temple proposed that Ci'en Temple also restore its original name to Fuhu Temple, and then make Ci'en Temple a branch temple of Fuhu Temple in the capital."

The three little ones and the eighth prince all stared.

This Fuhu Temple is too domineering.

The Eighth Prince couldn't help but ask, "The Fuhu Temple is very strong? Even Master Chenghai can't handle it?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Master Chenghai and Yuanxin.

Yuan Xin even said hurriedly: "After all, we are all brothers from the same sect, why would we kill each other? In the end, we decided to use Buddhism to settle this matter."

Everyone present, even Yu'er, could tell that it was a draw, with no winner.

After hearing this, the three little ones and the eighth prince became interested and their curiosity was ignited.

"What is the theory of Buddhism?"

The Eighth Prince asked curiously.

"Alas." Yuan Xin sighed first, then said: "Fuhu Temple brought a guardian beast this time. It is said that it was a vicious tiger that used to block the road and eat people on the mountain. As a result, it was influenced by the Buddhist teachings of Fuhu Temple and now converted to Buddhism and protects the gate of Fuhu Temple."

"Fuhu Temple keeps emphasizing the exquisiteness of its own Buddhist teachings with this point, which makes us at Ci'en Temple a little overwhelmed."

Li Xuan thought that the other side had even prepared the guardian beast, it seemed that they had planned it in advance.

"Isn't the contest in Buddhism just two old monks discussing the sutras and preaching?"

"Why is there such a contest?"

Yuan Xin replied helplessly: "They said that theirs is a real case, unlike our Ci'en Temple which only has theories."

"Hasn't the tablet in your Changsheng Palace attracted many people to do good deeds?" the eighth prince wondered.

Yuanxin didn't say anything more, just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I guess there are a lot of nonsense in their explanation of Buddhism, it just depends on whether they can convince the other party.

"Then Master Chenghai is thinking..."

The Eighth Prince hesitated for a moment and continued, "Use Buddhism to influence Ah Xuan?"

"If we can succeed in converting him, the merit will be comparable to that of Fuhu Temple."

Li Xuan glanced at him blankly, which made the Eighth Prince shudder.

"Little Lao Ba, you actually compared me to a man-eating tiger."

Princess Ankang was also angry for Li Xuan and said, "My Xuan is very well behaved. Why does he need to be influenced?"

"You should try to persuade the mynah bird and take him in as the guardian beast of your Ci'en Temple. Then see what the Fuhu Temple dares to say!"

Yuan Xin pursed her lips, but secretly thought that this was a good way to win.

It’s a pity that the Eighth Prince probably won’t agree.

Master Chenghai even grinned and laughed silently.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm on your side. What kind of stupid idea is this?"

"That's right!" Princess Ankang said seriously.

"Myna, think about it."

"Once you become the guardian beast of Ci'en Temple, what else can Fuhu Temple say?"

"You are not as good as their evil tiger?"

"Or are you stronger than their evil tiger?"

"Worse than animals" and "born worse than animals", no matter what, the Daxing royal family has been completely offended.

If Fuhu Temple had been smarter, it would have quietly packed up and fled, and then planned bigger plans later.

"Stop it, we're talking about Xuan, why are you talking about me?"

The Eighth Prince rolled his eyes and immediately changed the subject:
"So what exactly do you want Xuan to do?"
