Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 240 Buddha and Demon
Under the gaze of Chu Yuan and Fu Jun'er, a girl with a charming appearance, skin as white as snow, like an innocent girl, wearing white clothes and barefoot, like an elf girl who fell into the mortal world, walked in from outside the door.

Fu Jun'er thinks that she is pretty.

But compared to the girl in white clothes and barefoot in front of him, who was the most beautiful girl in the world, there was absolutely no comparison.

The moment Chu Yuan saw the other person, he guessed his identity.

The Holy Maiden of Demon Sect!

Wanwan!

She is probably the only girl in the world who likes to go barefoot!

"You two, I happened to pass by here and smelled this fragrant aroma. I came in and disturbed you rashly. You won't blame me, right?"

Wanwan's eyes were as pure as pearls as she looked at the juicy pheasant that was roasting in Fu Jun'er's hands. She looked at Chu Yuan and Fu Jun'er and said.

Just at this moment, a gust of night wind blew into the dilapidated temple from outside the door, blowing the hem of her clothes covering her bare feet, revealing her pink and white toes and part of her calves.

When the wind died down, the hem of her dress fell down, covering her toes and calves again.

Leprechaun!

As soon as Fu Jun'er saw Wanwan appear, this word appeared in her mind.

Perhaps because she is also a woman, she can understand that every move of the other party, whether intentional or unintentional, exudes a huge temptation to men.

Chu Yuan seemed not to have seen what happened just now. He behaved in a measured manner and looked at the girl calmly:

"Miss, you are joking. We are just travelers staying overnight in this temple. If you like, I can give you some of this roasted pheasant. However, the pheasant is not big, so I am not sure how much I can give you. I hope you will not blame me."

Wanwan smiled brightly, and for a moment even the atmosphere in the dilapidated temple became cheerful: "Don't blame me. How can I dislike eating such delicious roasted pheasant in the wilderness!"

As she spoke, she naturally sat on Chu Yuan's right.

There was none of the affectation of a pretty woman, and she didn't care whether there was dust on the ground.

At this moment, the situation in the dilapidated temple was that Chu Yuan was sitting at the topmost position facing north, with a headless statue and only half of the torso remaining behind him.

Since the upper part of the statue is missing and the plaque at the door has also disappeared, it is not known whether it has been taken away by someone or has completely decayed. It is impossible to tell what deity this statue belongs to.

Fu Jun'er and Wanwan sat on the left and right of Chu Yuan respectively.

In such a vast sea of ​​people, Chu Yuan didn't believe that he and the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect would meet by chance in a dilapidated temple.

Rather than believing that it was a coincidence, he believed that the other party came prepared and contacted him with a purpose.

Although he didn't know the other party's purpose, whether he came for the "Eternal Life Secret" or for some other reason.

Chu Yuan thought to himself: "The Demon Sect has already noticed and found me, the Buddhist Sect is probably not far behind!"

In direct confrontation with the Demonic Sect in the martial arts world, the Buddhist Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple.

In this generation, Cihang Jingzhai also cultivated an outstanding successor who can be compared with the Holy Maiden "Wanwan" of the Demon Sect.

Master Feixuan!
The two had been fighting openly and secretly for many years and had become the old enemies of Buddhism and Demonism.

Just as these thoughts flashed through Chu Yuan's mind, Fu Jun'er had finally roasted the pheasant. The roasted pheasant was fragrant and the skin was shiny, making one's mouth water just by smelling it.

"It's baked."

Fu Jun'er said to Chu Yuan.

She also saw that Wanwan had an extraordinary background, but she was not sure who Wanwan came for.

But no matter who Wanwan came for, it does not affect her current status as a prisoner.

Chu Yuan said: "Now that it's roasted, let me divide it."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yuan stretched out his left ring finger and flicked it at the roasted pheasant on the fire.

call out!
A sword energy shot out from Chu Yuan's left hand.

Suddenly, the whole roasted pheasant was split into two halves in the middle, and one half fell in front of Chu Yuan and was caught by Chu Yuan with his right hand. He had made great progress in practicing the "Eternal Life Secret" and did not feel it was hot.

The other half fell to Wanwan.

What surprised Chu Yuan was that Wanwan did not hide the fact that she knew martial arts.

She picked up a thin wooden stick as thick as a thumb from the pile of firewood on the ground next to her and put half a roasted pheasant on the stick.

"Master, you have great martial arts skills!"

Wanwan looked at Chu Yuan with surprise and praised him.

This was the first time she had seen a martial art that allowed one to emit sword energy with bare hands.

Not only that, Chu Yuan easily separated the chicken without damaging the wooden stick in Fu Jun'er's hand at all, which showed his amazing control.

"What about mine?"

Fu Jun'er was standing nearby, and when she saw that the pheasant meat on the wooden stick in her hand was now empty, she questioned Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan said: "You just said you didn't want to eat it, so I didn't share it with you."

Fu Jun'er looked at Chu Yuan, who seemed to take it for granted, and really wanted to hit Chu Yuan on the head with the stick in her hand.

She said before that she wouldn't eat it, but that was because she didn't do it herself.

Now, this roasted pheasant was roasted by her own hands, which she had spent nearly an hour on, dragging her injured body. Why shouldn't she eat it?
Upon hearing this, Wanwan handed the roasted pheasant meat that Chu Yuan had just cut for her to Fu Jun'er: "Sister, do you want to eat it? If you do, I'll give you half."

Fu Jun'er heard the other party calling her sister, but the other party looked like a girl in her twenties, so she was indeed qualified to call her sister.

But when she listened, she didn't know why she felt unhappy and suddenly she lost the mood to eat the roasted pheasant.

"No, you guys eat, I'm not hungry."

As Fu Jun'er was speaking, she stood up and walked to the corner of the dilapidated temple next to her, spread a handful of hay on the ground, and started to meditate with her eyes closed.

"Don't worry about her. She said she's not hungry."

Chu Yuan said to Wanwan.

Wanwan tilted her head and looked at Chu Yuan with a strange look, then she covered her mouth and smiled, no longer paying attention to this matter. She focused on the fragrant roasted pheasant in her hand and began to eat it slowly.

Chu Yuan was the same, eating the roasted pheasant in his hand.

Ever since Chu Yuan had mastered the "Eternal Life Secret" and could directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivate it into innate true qi, he had acquired the ability to practice fasting.

The reason why he wanted to eat roasted pheasant was just to satisfy his appetite.

The space in the dilapidated temple was not big to begin with, only about ten square meters, and it was relatively quiet at night, so for a while the only sound in the temple was the crackling sound of the burning fire.

Coupled with the subtle sounds made when Chu Yuan and Wanwan were eating roasted pheasant, Fu Jun'er, who was sitting cross-legged in the dilapidated temple pretending to meditate, felt inexplicably irritated.

I thought about how I had worked hard for an hour to roast the pheasant, but I didn’t get any share.

Fu Jun'er was filled with anger that a strange barefoot woman who just walked in from outside could eat it.

Although that woman was a little younger than himself!
Looks a little prettier!
Fu Jun'er's heart was filled with resentment for a moment.

But even though she was full of resentment, she couldn't do anything.

Because he was defeated by the other party, he had to do whatever he asked him to do.

"Dog men and women!"

Fu Jun'er cursed inwardly.

After eating the roasted pheasant, Chu Yuan walked out of the dilapidated temple and went to the stream where Fu Jun'er had just cleaned the pheasant in the dark. After washing his hands, he came back.

"The girl is traveling late at night, barefoot, her background must be extraordinary. May I ask for the girl's name?"

After Chu Yuan came back, he continued to sit by the fire and chat with Wanwan, who had also just finished eating roasted pheasant.

The time for pleasantries is over!

I have to ask the other party and test whether this witch has found my purpose.

"Master, my name is Wanwan."

Seeing Chu Yuan talking to her, Wanwan stated her identity without any hesitation. She looked at Chu Yuan and said with a smile.

Chu Yuan was a little surprised that Wanwan didn't even use a pseudonym. "I remember that there was a Saintess of the Demon Sect named Wanwan in the Yinkui Sect. I heard that she was a disciple of the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan. Could she be the girl?"

Wanwan did not answer, but asked Chu Yuan: "How can you be sure that I am the Saint of the Demon Sect?"

Chu Yuan pointed at Wanwan's pair of crystal-clear, pink and white jade feet that were standing on the ground:

"I heard that Miss Wanwan likes to go barefoot."

Wanwan saw that her identity was recognized, but she was not discouraged and said, "That's really a pity. The identity of the Demon Sect Saint has been exposed." Chu Yuan said, "Miss, you didn't think about hiding your identity, right? What is your purpose in coming here? Do you want to take the "Eternal Life Secret" from me?"

Fu Jun'er, who was pretending to meditate cross-legged in the corner, opened her eyes when she heard this and looked at Wanwan with surprise.

She really didn't expect that the barefoot girl who just walked in from the door would be the saint of the Yinkui sect of the devil.

The two sects of the Demonic Sect and the Six Paths are famous in the martial arts world, and there are many masters emerging. Even she, an assassin from Goryeo, has heard of them.

Wanwan looked up at Chu Yuan and smiled slightly, with a feeling of being charming: "I heard that Taoist Qingyang mastered the "Eternal Life Secret" and defeated Yu Wenzhi, so I came to see what kind of person Taoist Qingyang is. I found out that Taoist Qingyang is much younger than I thought."

Chu Yuan frowned: "Are you here on the orders of your master and the sect?"

Wanwan said coquettishly, "Could it be that I am the one who developed a sense of curiosity and admiration for Taoist Qingyang, so I came to see Taoist Qingyang?"

Chu Yuan said: "That's impossible. Everyone in the martial arts world knows how you, the Demon Sect, operate."

Wan Wan said helplessly: "Although Taoist Qingyang is young, he is very wary of us... But just as Taoist Qingyang thought, I did come here on the orders of my master. Taoist Qingyang, you know that since the news that you have mastered the "Eternal Life Secret" and defeated Yu Wenzhi came out, you are now a famous person in the world."

"There are countless people and sects who are paying attention to you and want to find you, so Master asked me to come here in advance to take the lead and get to know Taoist Qingyang. Of course, it would be even better if Taoist Qingyang is willing to lend the "Eternal Life Secret" to our Demon Sect for a look."

Speaking of which, Wanwan's original idea was to make up a false identity after finding Chu Yuan and quietly get close to Chu Yuan.

But after meeting Chu Yuan, she suddenly changed her mind.

She felt that if she made up an identity, she might not be able to deceive Chu Yuan, so it would be better to get to know Chu Yuan openly, which would make it easier to gain Chu Yuan's trust.

"Sure, I can lend you the "Eternal Life Secret", but you have to exchange it with me for the "Heavenly Demon Strategy"."

Chu Yuan said casually.

He had no intention of hoarding his martial arts, but the prerequisite was that the other party was willing to pay the price.

Wanwan didn't expect Chu Yuan to act so unexpectedly. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately recovered and smiled:

"Master Qingyang, you are joking. The Heavenly Demon Strategy, which is one of the four great books in the world along with the Secret of Immortality, is indeed the sacred book of our Demon Sect, but it has long been lost."

Chu Yuan immediately said: "Then I will take a step back. Even if I don't want to exchange the Heavenly Demon Strategy, I can exchange it with the Heavenly Demon Secret, the sect-protecting martial art of your Yinkui Sect."

Wanwan didn't expect Chu Yuan to do something so unconventional. She smiled awkwardly, "Master Qingyang also said that the Heavenly Demon Secret is the Yinkui sect's martial art, and it cannot be easily passed on to others."

Chu Yuan's unique sword skills just now shocked her, and she was unsure of Chu Yuan's strength.

Chu Yuan said: "You don't want this, and you don't want that. It seems that you, the Demon Sect, just want to take the "Eternal Life Secret" from me for free."

Wanwan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by freeloading?"

Chu Yuan said unhappily: "It means literally."

After a brief thought, Wanwan roughly understood what Chu Yuan meant.

Wanwan immediately smiled and said, "Master Qingyang is such a wonderful person."

"The Demon Sect is unwilling, but I, Cihang Jingzhai, am willing."

At this moment, a clear and melodious female voice, like the sound of an orchid in a valley, was heard from outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Fu Jun'er looked outside the door of the dilapidated temple.

I saw a beautiful woman in a light blue gown fluttering in the wind, looking so leisurely and elegant, calm and confident, with an elegant ancient sword hanging on her back. She was like a lotus in clear water, with a natural appearance and a holy temperament. She was like a fairy from the immortal world descending to the earth.

In terms of beauty, Fu Jun'er felt that the woman who had just walked in was no less beautiful than the Demon Sect's Saint Wanwan.

This woman and the Demon Sect Saint just now have their own unique temperament and appearance.

Even with her beauty, Fu Jun'er couldn't help but feel ashamed in front of the two girls who appeared tonight.

"Here comes another one. This dilapidated temple is really lively at night."

Fu Jun'er said to herself.

If two more come, there will be enough space for a banquet in this dilapidated temple.

"I didn't expect you to come too."

Seeing the woman appear, Wanwan's eyes flashed with coldness.

"You can come, why can't I come?"

The new woman looked at Wanwan and said.

Don't guess!
Just by looking at the conflict between him and the Saint Maiden of Demon Sect, Chu Yuan knew that the other party should be the Saint Maiden Shi Feixuan of Cihang Jingzhai.

Now the two saint ladies from the Demon Sect and the Buddhist Sect all came at once.

"May I ask who the girl is?"

Although he had already guessed the other party's identity, Chu Yuan still asked.

"Cihang Jingzhai Saintess Shi Feixuan, greets Taoist Qingyang."

After Shi Feixuan and Chu Yuan introduced themselves, they naturally sat in the seat that Fu Jun'er had just occupied.

This made Fu Jun'er, who was standing next to her, secretly dissatisfied with her.

That's her place.

Suddenly, Fu Jun'er felt that no matter whether it was the Saint Maiden of the Demon Sect or the Saint Maiden of the Buddhist Sect, they did not look like good people!
"So it's the Saintess of Cihang Jingzhai." Chu Yuan bowed and said, "I wonder if what Master Miss said just now is true?"

Although "The Secret of Immortality" and "The Cihang Sword Canon" are both among the four great books in the world.

However, "Cihang Sword Canon" should be the best of the four great books in the world.

Because the other three books of the Four Great Books all have records of "breaking the void", except for "Cihang Sword Canon".

This is probably one of the reasons why Shi Feixuan was willing to exchange the "Cihang Sword Canon" with Chu Yuan.

Shi Feixuan said: "Of course it is true, but Taoist Qingyang wants to use the "Eternal Life Art" to exchange the "Cihang Sword Canon" with our Cihang Jingzhai. You need you to tell us everything you have learned from the "Eternal Life Art" on how to practice the "Eternal Life Art"."

Chu Yuan's interest immediately waned after hearing this: "Forget it then."

He told Cihang Jingzhai the method of practicing "The Secret of Immortality".

Then for Cihang Jingzhai, this is a business that is sure to make a profit.

Moreover, Cihang Jingzhai is a Buddhist sect, and "The Secret of Immortality" is a Taoist secret book. Chu Yuan will never let "The Secret of Immortality" fall into the hands of Buddhism.

Shi Feixuan did not give up, but continued to persuade Chu Yuan: "Master Qingyang, Taoism and Buddhism are both the righteous ways in the world. We should join hands to deal with the Demon Sect and eliminate demons to defend the way. Now Master Qingyang has the "Eternal Life Secret" in his hand, and I have the "Cihang Sword Canon" created by the founder Dini in Cihang Jingzhai. Why should both sides cherish their own things?"

Seeing that Shi Feixuan wanted to use the Buddhist secrets to morally blackmail him, Chu Yuan said directly:

"This is a sure win for your Cihang Jingzhai, so of course you are willing to do it. As for the Taoist and Buddhist sects... the feud between the two sects should be much greater than that between the Taoist and Demon sects, right?"

Since the Han Dynasty, when Buddhism was introduced from India to the Central Plains and the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting for survival, accusing each other of being heterodoxies.

The monks and Taoists disliked each other. The monks called the Taoists "ox-nosed" and the Taoists called the monks "bald donkeys".

Compared with the grudges between Taoism and the Demonic Sect, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is the real dispute over the great way of the world.

After all, the Demonic Sect cannot come to the fore and can only live in dark corners. No matter how powerful they are, they can only hide in the dark and cannot influence the overall situation in the world.

"That's right, that's right. Among the six paths of the two sects of my Demon Sect, there is a true preacher, the inheritance of ancient Taoism!"

Wanwan kept nodding beside him, enjoying the fun.

The Yinkui Sect cannot obtain the "Secret of Immortality", so she naturally does not want Cihang Jingzhai to obtain it.

Cihang Jingzhai is an old rival of the Demon Sect. If Cihang Jingzhai were to obtain and someone were to practice the "Eternal Life Secret", it would be a disaster for the Demon Sect.

Chu Yuan wanted to find out more about the true teachings of the Demon Sect, so he asked Wanwan, "Miss Wanwan, do you know anything about this true teaching?"

Wanwan said: "We are both from the Demon Sect, so I know a little bit. It is said that the True Transmission Sect originated from the ancient Taoist tradition. It has two branches, namely "Laojun Temple" and "Daozu True Transmission". It advocates the art of sexual intercourse between men and women, so it was rejected by orthodox Taoism and called a demon sect. In the end, it became one of the six paths of the Demon Sect."

Chu Yuan asked Wan Wan: "Who is the current leader of the True Evangelism?"

Wanwan said: "It's Zuo Youxian."

Chu Yuan pondered for a while: "This is really the wrong way to preach. No wonder it has fallen into one of the six paths of the devil sect and was denounced as a demon."

Wanwan asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Chu Yuan said: "Taoism follows the Huang-Lao school of thought, and the Yellow Emperor once had sex with 3,000 women and ascended to heaven in broad daylight. This shows that the art of sex focuses on dual cultivation rather than sexual intercourse."

Wanwan asked again: "In addition to practicing the "Eternal Life Secret", could it be that Taoist Qingyang also studied the art of sexual intercourse between men and women?"

Chu Yuan immediately straightened his chest and said, "The way of men and women is also one of the righteous ways of cultivation in Taoism. I have done a lot of research on the art of men and women, and even created a martial art for both men and women to cultivate together."
