Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 643 Why the Venerable Preached

At the moment when the two Bodhi disciples were all killed.

The hall, which was once magnificent but now in a mess, has quietly become illusory.

Including the golden statue, it seemed like a passing cloud, disappearing in an instant.

A smell of blood suddenly spread on the crowded street, causing passers-by to stop in shock. On the bluestone road surface, only two pools of blood remained, proving what had just happened.

On another street far away from here.

The man in white shirt holding the wine jug looked drunk, but he suddenly sniffed and his eyes became clearer.

He frowned and caught the fragrance contained in the faint blood.

Meng Xiuwen cast a spell and took a step forward, appearing in front of the two pools of blood. He pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, leaned over and touched a little blood with his fingertips.

When he saw the golden light in the plasma gradually dimming, the last trace of his drunkenness faded away and he shuddered all over.

"It's going to be bad..."

For some reason, Meng Xiuwen clearly hadn't thought it through yet, but his legs moved forward instinctively and he ran towards the inn.

He had not taken the fact that Ye Lan had left Jianyang Prefecture and was temporarily unable to come back too seriously. After all, the Demon Slayer Officer had the strength to guard an entire prefecture, so there would rarely be any major problems.

But now, he just felt cold all over.

A Bodhi sect practitioner died in Jianyang Prefecture, and the practitioner Meng Xiuwen was most familiar with was his newly appointed demon-slaying officer!
Could it be that the childhood sweetheart has come to kill me?

"Are you guys okay?"

Meng Xiuwen stood on the second floor of the inn, shouted softly, and kicked the door open. When he saw everything inside the room clearly, the anxiety on his face gradually turned into strangeness.

Ye Jing was seen leaning against the wall, closing her eyes and adjusting her breathing.

On the other side, there was a big bloody hole on the monk's face. It could be vaguely identified as Zhikongxingzhe. He did not treat his wound, but just sat on the ground with a dull expression, staring straight at Shen Yi who was lying on the bed in front of him.

Things seem to be different from what I imagined.

But after seeing clearly what Shen Yi was doing, Meng Xiuwen couldn't laugh at all. He only felt the chill on his body become even more intense. He hurriedly stepped into the house and slammed the door shut!
There were two corpses lying on the bed, both dressed as travelers. One had his skull smashed alive by a hard object, while the other had his head gone completely missing.

And this Lord Shen was searching the two of them carefully, not wanting to miss any details.

His posture was just like that of a bandit who had just finished a robbery.

"call."

Shen Yi slowly took out two gold pages, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

It turned out to be just as I expected.

Although ordinary cultivators seldom carry their skills with them, it is different for the Bodhi Sect.

Shen Yi had personally experienced how terrifying it was to face a true calamity without the protection of the precious scriptures, so this thing was more of a life-saving token to stabilize the soul than a technique.

Even if you have memorized the above content by heart, you can carry it with you and read it at any time to at least give you peace of mind.

"..."

Meng Xiuwen's eyelids twitched twice, and the other party's smile was even more like that. He said with a dry mouth: "What are you doing? What is going on?"

He now roughly guessed why Shen Yi, a casual cultivator, was so fresh and unworldly.

So all these skills were acquired in this way?
"The Bodhi sect practitioner wanted to kill me and Lord Shen in Jianyang Prefecture."

Ye Jing usually looked dazed, but at this moment she slightly opened her eyes and with just one sentence turned the personal grudge caused by Shen Yi stealing the Fruit Position Sutra into a public business of a thief committing a crime.

Putting aside other things, the two monks who killed the cultivators of Ziyun Sect are definitely not good people.

Lord Shen is eliminating harm for the Divine Dynasty!

Ye Jing glanced at Shen Yi who had just taken the treasured scripture from the corpse, and pursed her lips guiltily.

"Tsk."

Meng Xiuwen was not a fool, so how could he be fooled by such a meaningless statement? But since the deed had already been done... he glanced at the Wise Sky Walker beside him: "So, this person is alive?"

"what?"

Monk Zhikong finally came to his senses. For some reason, he always felt a chill on his neck when being stared at by the man in white.

Shen Xianyou is really weird, and his friends don’t look like normal people either.

The monk still remembered that it was he who gave the Three Tribulations Lotus Platform Method to Shen Yi. In a short period of time, he had already cultivated it to perfection. Of course, he did not think that a court official would lack the imperial energy to overcome the mental tribulation.

The imperial aura of the world is the most important means for the court to control China. One point used means one point less. Even court officials only have the power to mobilize and rarely get it into private hands.

But no matter what, it is much easier to obtain than for monks like us.

But the prerequisite for overcoming the mental tribulation is to be able to understand the magic formula and learn the basics of practice.

Shen Xianyou mastered the Three Tribulations Lotus Platform Method so easily that even if it were placed in the sect, he would be praised by the elders as having excellent Buddha nature.

Pity……

Monk Zhikong looked at the bodies of his two brothers again. Ever since Immortal Shen had killed them, it had been difficult for them to have the chance to join the sect again.

But at the same time, he thought of something even more terrifying.

If Shen Xianyou is a court official, has access to enough imperial energy, and has an amazing Buddhist nature, and holds the Dragon and Tiger Sutra, if things continue to develop in this way, doesn't it mean that... a Dragon and Tiger Arhat will appear in the future, but he is not a disciple of the Bodhi Sect at all, and there is even hatred between the two sides? !

Monk Zhikong simply couldn't imagine what punishment the elders in the sect would use after learning about this.

Fortunately, neither himself nor his two senior brothers have mastered the Golden Lotus Method.

That thing is not something you can get easily.

Even if one has already perfected the Six Tribulations Lotus Platform, one still has to be valued by a certain venerable, equivalent to being half a disciple, and pass his test before one can obtain this method and enter the realm of a Golden Lotus Practitioner.

He then attained the fruit position and became the guardian arhat under the lotus seat of this venerable monk.

Shen Xianyou was heading towards a dead end, but fortunately there was a gap in the middle of the road.

"It has nothing to do with Master Zhikong."

Shen Yi carefully put away the golden book, turned around and shook his head.

[Seventh Level. Six Tribulations Lotus Platform Method: Not Yet Entered]

"So it was done by our Lord Shen again, right?" Meng Xiuwen gritted his teeth and smiled. He had seen before that Shen Yi was not a good person, so when Ye Lan appointed him to temporarily act as the demon slayer, he felt quite funny.

But he really didn't expect that the other party could be so cruel.

He teamed up with the disciples of Bodhi Sect and directly killed the other two practitioners. He killed people to obtain the Dharma. Listen, is this something that someone in the imperial court could do?
The most outrageous thing is that Shen Yi won.

The Six Tribulations Walker almost represents the upper limit of the strength of the Seventh Rank Realm. Even this Monk Zhikong is weaker than him. It is even more impossible for Ye Jing to play any role in such a battle. The opponent is a casual immortal, but he not only won, but also killed two at once.

No one would believe this if it were told to others.

"call."

Meng Xiuwen sighed, stretched out his hand and summoned a sword light to begin destroying the corpse. At the same time, he discovered that an invisible flame fell on another corpse.

He was silent for a moment, then looked towards Shen Yi. Both of their movements were so familiar, and after their eyes made brief contact, they looked away tacitly.

"Can we talk?"

After solving the problem of destroying the body, Meng Xiuwen put away his unreliable look and became much more serious, which was rare.

Even though Monk Zhikong could know about the killing of the disciples of the Bodhi Sect, he still could not reveal the matters involving the Demon-Slaying Bureau to the other party.

"it is good."

Shen Yi nodded his chin and followed the other person out of the house.

After doing so many things, he could still stay safely in Jianyang Prefecture without having to flee for his life, all because of his identity as the Demon Slayer.

But this identity obviously has a limit.

No matter how big a tree is, it is impossible to always allow its subordinates to do whatever they want.

"You will need to find a master in the future. You can't keep going like this."

Meng Xiuwen stood still slowly and handed over the wine gourd in his hand: "Learn a little from the east and a little from the west. It seems that you have many methods and strong strength, but if you are not at the fifth level, you are just a minor path after all. Whether it is the Dao fruit or the fruit position, you will have to pick one sooner or later."

"These things are hard to get on your own. You need someone to teach you."

"However, if you join our industry, it is equivalent to being rejected by the three religions. It is also difficult for other immortal sects to accept us. You will most likely only be able to learn skills from the seniors in the industry."

At this point, Meng Xiuwen showed a self-deprecating look on his face: "Don't end up like me. I say I do whatever I want and I'm chivalrous, but in the eyes of the seniors, I'm just a troublemaker who doesn't obey discipline. I'll cause trouble at any time, and no one dares to pick on me."

"What do you mean by the strongest demon slayer? No matter how strong he is, he still can't get a title in the end, and he can't find a master. He is stuck at the sixth rank and can't make any progress."

"..."

Shen Yi listened quietly and took a sip of the wine.

Sometimes, people either deliberately want to cause trouble or they just can't stand something and want to intervene.

From the beginning until today, I have experienced countless things, big and small, but I have never been able to get rid of this bad habit.

"That's all."

Seeing Shen Yi like this, Meng Xiuwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if he saw his past self. It was absolutely impossible to convince him by reasoning.

He patted the young man on the shoulder and skipped over the topic: "You know, whether it is a celestial being or a Golden Lotus Practitioner, these six levels of realm are actually just a transition. Of course, this transition is also very important. It determines what kind of Dao fruit you can bear in the future."

"True Immortals have six tribulations, and Celestial Immortals also have six tribulations, so the total number is twelve. However, for most Dao Fruits, nine tribulations are enough."

"You have learned so many skills, and you have done well in all of them. This shows that you are extremely talented. Find a good master and complete your path. If you can pick a good Dao fruit, your life will be perfect."

"As a human being, you always have to have something to look forward to."

He retracted his palm and smiled at Shen Yi: "Do you understand?"

"I don't quite understand."

Shen Yi shook his head, not quite sure why the other party suddenly brought up these things.

"Hey." Meng Xiuwen stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair vigorously, "What I mean is, you don't have to rob people like a bandit!"

"Ye Lan! This is the path you should take. Make her feel a little better about you. The Taixu Dao Fruit she picked is a good thing ranked in the top ten among the seventy-two numbers!"

What Shen Yi is doing now will only make Ye Lan distrust him more and more. Isn't this like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds?

"I remember she said she would take you to the party. This is a good opportunity. Don't mess up. Perform well. Besides, with your ability to offend people and make mortal enemies, I can't think of anyone else who can protect you except her."

Hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyes slightly.

Taixu Daoguo...it sounds really exciting.

To be honest, he actually knew the way of a traveler and knew that he would not be able to go far. After all, he had killed three disciples before he even joined the sect. He could not rely on luck for his future and expect to pick up treasures like the Dragon and Tiger Sutra easily every time like he did last time.

Perhaps achieving the Dragon-Tiger level is the limit; to obtain further sutras and teachings is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

In the end, we still have to return to the path of immortality.

But I'm really not good at building good relationships with women.

"So what kind of meeting are you attending?" Shen Yi glanced to the side. If he wanted to perform well, he had to find out more about it in advance.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuwen also frowned: "Actually, I am not too sure. Bodhi Sect and Three Immortal Sect are different. After all, they are not on the same path. They believe in keeping the Dharma secret. Even when the Venerable is preaching, they invite all the practitioners and Arhats to listen."

"But this time it's different."

"That venerable has widely sent out Buddhist invitations without any taboos. Many immortal sects have received the invitations. There will also be many immortals attending the ceremony. I don't know what this venerable is going to say."

At this point, Meng Xiuwen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a chill appeared in his pupils: "This matter involves too much, and has caused quite a stir. Even the imperial capital is taking it very seriously."

"Do you know what kind of existence the Venerable is? In terms of strength alone, he is equivalent to a third-rank immortal official. In their Bodhi Sect, he would be honored as a Bodhisattva!"

"How can others understand the deep intentions of such a great man who has covered the sky? It just makes people feel uneasy."

Meng Xiuwen took a deep breath. For all the cultivators, this grand event was no less than the imperial court distributing relief grain to the refugees. However, for the Demon Slaying Division, it was a huge headache.

"understood."

Shen Yi nodded, he was almost certain that General Yan Lan brought him along purely to listen to the Dharma. In simple terms, he was just giving him an opportunity.

When it comes to matters involving a third-rank giant, a mere seventh-rank cultivator can play a tiny role.

But no matter what, you should improve your strength a little bit first, so that when you encounter any danger, you will have a better chance of saving your life.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi said goodbye to Meng Xiuwen and turned back to the inn.

He picked an empty room and summoned the smart mouse to guard the door.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

Ever since the last tribulation, Shen Yi has been recalling the feeling of unity between man and nature all the time. Now that he has a new precious scripture to protect his soul, he can finally continue to move forward.

[Remaining demon lifespan: 167 kalpas]

In an instant, all of the demon's lifespan was poured into the Six Tribulations Lotus Technique.

The lotus platform inside Shen Yi's body once again revealed new petals.
