Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 594: Buddhist Bead Relics
Li Xuan touched the Buddhist beads hanging on the little monk's neck with his tail, and in a blink of an eye transferred the contents into his Dihong bone ring.

"Oh, it's too dangerous for a child to hold something like this."

Li Xuan gently stroked the little monk's chest with his cat paw, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, he's here."

The little monk who was sleeping soundly knew nothing. He gritted his teeth, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing that all the young monks in the room were sleeping soundly, Li Xuan did not move to another place and started reading the letter right here.

The letter was not sealed, so I took out the letter paper directly.

Li Xuan unfolded the letter and read it quickly.

After a while, his expression changed.

"not good!"

Li Xuan thought to himself, "Oh no!" He quickly put the letter away and was about to rush out of the house.

But he immediately thought of something, and before leaving, he flicked his tail and touched the Buddhist beads hanging around the little monk's neck with the Dihong Bone Ring.

The storage space of the Buddhist beads, which had been empty due to the things being taken away, suddenly became filled with a pile of stones of different sizes.

This was originally the "ammunition" that Li Xuan prepared for himself and Princess Ankang. He left a bunch of it in the storage space of the Buddhist beads.

"I hope there won't be a time when these stones come in handy."

Li Xuan frowned before leaving, but still climbed over the wall and rushed to the palace at full speed.

Although Li Xuan took advantage of others, he didn't want everything.

He originally just wanted to check the things left by Monk Chengche, observe the secret manual and then return them.

Although Li Xuan had some frictions with Fuhu Temple before, it was far from the point of enmity, so Fuhu Temple did not owe him anything.

But after reading the letter, Li Xuan had to help keep these things.

"Is that old monk stupid? If something really happens to them, do they really think that Ci'en Temple can protect these young monks?"

"Damn it, a country monk from a poor mountain village, do you really think the capital is safe?"

Li Xuan was so angry that he cursed in his heart and was speechless about Monk Chengche's so-called arrangement.

He hurried back to the palace and went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The sky was just beginning to brighten.

In the morning, Manager Shang got up early and meditated as usual.

Li Xuan did not conceal his aura and hurried along the way, and was noticed by Manager Shang from a distance.

Shang opened his eyes and saw Li Xuan breathing slightly in front of him. He couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Ah Xuan, you're out doing morning exercises so early in the morning?"

"Something happened, meow!"

Li Xuan didn't waste any time and directly took out the letter and handed it to Manager Shang to read.

Seeing that Li Xuan looked extremely serious and not joking at all, Manager Shang immediately took out the letter and began to read it at a glance.

Li Xuan delivered the letter, but he was still anxious and kept walking around, saying:
"Fuhu Temple is in life and death crisis, meow!"

"What Monk Chengche wrote is simply a suicide note, meow!"

"At least a second rank can handle them, meow!"

"And fellow Buddhists can't be trusted, meow!"

"The enemy is likely to come from within their Buddhist sect, meow!"

Li Xuan kept spinning around and chattering, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

The content of Monk Chengche's letter was mainly to entrust Master Chenghai with the care of his children, hoping that he could take good care of the few young monks left behind in Fuhu Temple.

The letter did not specifically mention the crisis at Fuhu Temple, but Monk Chengche did warn Master Chenghai that his fellow Buddhists in Jiangnan Dao could no longer be trusted. He even accused them in a strong tone of having fallen into the evil path and were beyond redemption, and mentioned that this might not be a problem confined to Jiangnan Dao.

At the end of the letter, Monk Chengche reminded that the world was about to change and asked Ci'en Temple to take care of itself. Even if something happened in Fuhu Temple, they were asked not to intervene and to keep out of it until things calmed down.

Although Monk Chengche did not explicitly mention the crisis of Fuhu Temple in his letter, the despair in his wording was overwhelming, showing that he had no confidence in the bleak future of Fuhu Temple.

Manager Shang quickly read the letter and said:
"We can't let Chengche go back, we have to bring him back!"

"I just set out to return to Fuhu Temple." Li Xuan said immediately.

"With Monk Chengche's determination, it's not easy to bring him back, meow."

Monk Chengche is, after all, a third-rank master, so it would probably not be easy to bring him back by force.

"We have to catch him and find out what happened to the Buddhist sect!"

Manager Shang's tone was more firm than ever before.

"Ah Xuan, you immediately follow the group from Fuhu Temple and leave marks along the way. I will follow with my men."

Li Xuan thought about the farewell scene in front of Ci'en Temple, and then said:

"Chengnan, Qixiamen meow!"

This is the direction in which Monk Chengche and his disciples left.

This is also the fastest way to leave the city from Ci'en Temple.

"Okay, Xuan, you must be careful. I'm afraid they won't have peace on this road."

Manager Shang and Li Xuan exchanged glances and realized that they were both thinking of the same person.

King Zheng!

In Daxing, Li Xuan couldn't think of anyone else except him who could cause such a big trouble.

But Li Xuan found it hard to believe that Buddhism was being won over by King Zheng.

Li Xuan nodded, and seeing that Manager Shang had no other instructions, he turned around and rushed towards the south of the city to chase after Monk Chengche and his group.

With Li Xuan's speed, he should be able to catch up with them soon.

Li Xuan looked at the time and found that Monk Chengche should have calculated the time when the city gate would open and planned to leave the city as soon as possible today.

After all, there was only a group of people at Fuhu Temple, and even if they traveled at full speed, they wouldn't be much faster. It wouldn't take Li Xuan too long to catch up with them.

I'm afraid something unexpected will happen during this period...

"No, no, Monk Chengche is at least a third-rank warrior. Even if we want to deal with him, we must find a suitable place."

“Otherwise, the Five Elements Reincarnation of the Third Rank’s fall is inevitable.”

"It's definitely not what they want to cause a big commotion near the capital."

Li Xuan analyzed the situation calmly and calmed down his worries.

But he didn't dare to slow down at all and ran at full speed in the city.

The sky was already dim, and a black shadow that was invisible to ordinary people dragged past without causing any disturbance.

The yin and yang energy in Li Xuan's body was almost endless, but the explosive sprint still made him inevitably breathless.

Soon, he rushed out of Qixiamen in the south of the city.

There is already a long queue at Qixiamen. Compared with people leaving the city, there are obviously more people entering the city.

Even in such severe cold weather, people had to get up early and work late in order to survive.

People from villages and towns outside the city would come to the city to find work to supplement their family income.

Compared with staying in the village, there are obviously more opportunities and higher salaries in the city.

It was just a bit tiring to go back and forth. Sometimes if you didn't leave the city in time, you had to stay overnight in the slums in the south of the city, which was almost like a day's work in vain. But sometimes the employer didn't release the workers on time, and those who came to the city to work didn't dare to say anything, after all, the employer's money hadn't been paid yet, and if you didn't serve them well and put on a good smile, the employer would just drive you away if he wasn't happy, and you would have worked for nothing again.

In short, the weather is cold and my heart is cold too. Only when I get the money and hold it in my hands can my heart be warmed for a while.

Li Xuan just glanced down and then ran in the direction of the avenue.

Li Xuan only knew that Fuhu Temple was in Jiangnan Road, which must be south of the capital.

He chased south along the road, maximizing his perception. After less than twenty miles, Li Xuan found the trace of Monk Chengche.

At this moment, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In his perception, Monk Chengche and the disciples of Fuhu Temple were just walking on the road normally, and nothing happened.

Li Xuan immediately left a mark on the tree by the roadside in accordance with the practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, guiding the people behind him to follow him.

Afterwards, Li Xuan fell behind Monk Chengche and the others by two or three miles.

This distance is reachable in an instant for Li Xuan and also makes it convenient for him to observe.

"It's okay, nothing happened."

Li Xuan followed behind while sensing and exploring the surroundings.

But soon he felt a little bored.

"Oh, it's a good opportunity to read a book to relieve boredom on the way."

Li Xuan thought of something, his eyes rolled around, and he selected a book from the Dihong bone ring.

That’s right, it was one of the martial arts secrets that Li Xuan obtained from the young monk’s Buddhist beads.

He immediately started to look at the ninth-grade basic skills without hesitation.

With Li Xuan's current level of cultivation, recording these low-level skills is just a matter of flipping through them.

Soon, he recorded the basic skills mentioned above.

It was only then that Li Xuan discovered that the skills of Fuhu Temple were actually extraordinary.

Their set of skills is called Wrathful Vajra Body, and is divided into six volumes, corresponding to all the cultivation methods from the ninth to the fourth grades.

This was the first time that Li Xuan had seen a set of skills that covered six levels and spanned two major realms.

Even in the Thousand Star Pavilion, a complete set of skills that can cover three grades is very rare, and generally they only cover the three grades of the lower three grades.

The wrathful Vajra body of the Fu Hu Temple is a rare set of exercises that covers six grades of the lower three grades and the middle three grades with just one set of exercises.

Li Xuan prided himself on being knowledgeable and having seen most of the martial arts in the Thousand Star Pavilion, but at this moment he couldn't help but marvel at it.

Although this angry-eyed Vajra body is powerful, the requirements are also extremely strict. Not only does it require a strong physique, but it also requires true Qi with the attribute of gold.

If the Qi attributes are not satisfied, one can only practice to the seventh level. At the sixth level, one must switch to other techniques. Otherwise, if one continues to practice forcefully, at best one's cultivation will be wasted, at worst one may die.

In addition to these six volumes of the Wrathful Vajra Body, there is also a volume of exercises called the Acalanatha Body.

This technique is even more interesting, it is a technique created for entering the third level after completing the fourth level, but it can actually guide practitioners to comprehend the Tao at the third level.

All those who practice this technique will realize the Tao called "Acalanatha".

It should be the Vajra Shadow that Li Xuan had seen Monk Chengche perform before.

In other words, the Taoism of all the third-grade masters in Fuhu Temple is actually the same.

Li Xuan was unable to record this Acala body and could only read it over and over again.

Fortunately, he had read enough books before. Although he had not yet reached the level of Princess Ankang who had a photographic memory, he could memorize the contents by reading them several times.

Monk Chengche left only these seven books of skills in the little monk's Buddhist beads, six of which were about the Wrathful Vajra Body, and the last one was about the Acala Body.

He had already read the letter before. As for the bottle of elixir, Li Xuan looked at the note attached to it, which had the name and efficacy of the elixir written on it.

【Golden Fetus Pills】

As for the efficacy of this elixir, it is somewhat mysterious.

If taken at the beginning of spiritual practice, one will most likely be able to comprehend the sixth level of gold-attributed true Qi, which has the effect of customizing the properties of true Qi.

However, the introduction of the pill only mentioned a high probability and did not mention any side effects. Li Xuan had no idea how high the high probability was.

He poured out the pills and counted them, and found that there were only twenty-three in total, both odd and even.

And seeing as Monk Chengche didn't leave any recipe for the elixir behind, this elixir might be the last batch.

"Wow, these sects can actually use elixirs to specify the true qi attributes of their disciples."

Li Xuan felt deeply moved and gained a deeper understanding of the methods used by the martial arts sects.

Come to think of it, this set of skills of Fu Hu Temple can only be practiced by people with gold-attribute true qi. If there are few people with gold-attribute among the disciples of a generation, wouldn't the temple be in decline?

Ensuring that they have sufficient inheritance is a compulsory course for these martial arts sects, so they naturally take it very seriously.

Li Xuan had seen the Arctic Supreme Shell that could change the properties of true qi before, and now seeing the effectiveness of the Golden Embryo Pill, he felt his eyes were opened.

"I don't know what the principle of this Golden Embryo Pill is. I wonder if I can customize one for Yu'er in the future."

Yu'er has not yet cultivated true Qi. If such a good thing happens, Li Xuan naturally wants Yu'er to cultivate more powerful true Qi attributes.

Li Xuan planned to find time to consult Doctor Xue later, as he should know something about this kind of elixir.

At this point, Li Xuan had finished looking through all the family assets left by the Fuhu Temple. On the way, he looked through the techniques of the Acalanatha body to deepen his memory.

He still remembered that Master Chenghai once said that there were some problems with the Fuhu Temple's skills, and if these problems could not be solved, they would eventually lead to serious disasters.

When Fuhu Temple came to merge with Ci'en Temple before, Li Xuan thought that there was something wrong with their skills. Now it seems that this is not the case, and it is due to external reasons.

Li Xuan flipped through the book on Acala, but couldn't find any problems.

However, he did have some ideas about the angry-looking Vajra body.

"As the saying goes, too much strength will break easily. This set of skills is simply too strong to the extreme."

Originally this was not a bad thing, as it could maximize the power of the technique.

But just as everything in the world has both yin and yang, hardness and softness should also coexist, otherwise neither extreme yang nor extreme yin will last long.

Li Xuan was able to understand this point only because he now had a deep enough understanding of the five elements of heaven and earth.

Although the martial arts of the Fuhu Temple are quite powerful, the excessive emphasis on power has led to the martial arts attributes being too extreme.

Practicing this kind of exercises for a long time will definitely have a negative impact on your body and mind.

Li Xuan thought of Monk Chengche's violent temper and the occasional irrational behavior of the disciples of Fuhu Temple, and felt that they all had reasonable explanations now.

But this is not a problem for Li Xuan.

As long as he could practice this set of Wrathful Vajra Body techniques to perfection, he would be able to make up for the shortcomings of this technique naturally with the help of his own talents and Yin and Yang Qi.

Li Xuan's talent can help him fully understand the mysteries of the martial arts, which is not a difficult task for him.

"If there is a chance in the future, I can help Fuhu Temple."

Li Xuan said secretly in his heart, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He put away the secret book of martial arts and turned to look into the depths of the woods beside the road.

In the shadows of the woods, Li Xuan saw something familiar.

"Meow, is that piece of cloth their standard equipment?"
