From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 327: Buddha and Devil
Mount Kailash,
Although the unreachable snow-capped mountains are a forbidden area for humans, they still have their own biosphere and are home to many wild animals and birds.

This is a fully adult snow leopard with gray-white fur with black spots and black rings. It is over one meter long and has a thick and long tail.

It walked in the dry grass with its back hunched, its thick paws stepping on the ground silently. It advanced stealthily to the top of the cliff, its light blue eyes narrowed slightly, staring at a fawn below.

Snow leopards are very good at jumping and can leap down from a three or four meter high cliff in one leap. This is also their most familiar way of killing.

The deer under the cliff was completely unaware. It lay dormant for a long time, and when it judged the right time, it pressed hard with its hind paws. Its huge body cast a small shadow, and its sharp claws flashed with cold light, and then...

pia!

A young monk suddenly jumped out and pressed the snow leopard into the snow. With an unfriendly look, he tried to pry open the snow leopard's mouth and press its belly.

The snow leopard was furious, opened its bloody mouth, and used its thick fleshy paws to attack the young monk, but in the monk's hand, it was like a big cat, unable to make any waves, and could only whimper in grievance.

"Master Gao Miao, let it go. Little Zhuoma should just be lost. Nothing bad will happen to her."

After thoroughly confirming that there was no information about Xiao Zhuoma on the snow leopard, Gao Miao snorted coldly and let the snow leopard go.
This was the fourth beast he had troubled in the snowy mountains.

"Little Zhuoma is just a child, it's impossible for her to run too far!"

"We'll find her!"

Gao Miao's voice was trembling. It was more like he was comforting himself than explaining to others.

The snow was so heavy that there were no footprints on the ground.

Gao Miao's first suspicion was Mijue Dorje, but when he returned to the temple, Mijue Dorje was loosening the soil and applying fertilizer to the vegetable field, with the young lama in white standing by his side.

When Mijue Dorje learned that little Zhuoma was missing, his face changed drastically and he and Gao Miao went out to look for her.

Gao Miao saw that Mijue Duoji's expression did not seem to be fake, so he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
The heavy snow blurred the vision.

Gao Miao continued searching around the ice wall until it got dark and he could no longer see anything.

When I returned to Qizhen Temple, I met Mijue Dorje who was also searching in vain.

Mijue Dorje looked very unhappy. He no longer looked like the kind old man he had seen when they first met. His whole face seemed to be covered with ice.

Seeing his expression, Gao Miao tactfully stopped asking any more questions.

Mijue Dorje returned to the room without saying a word. In the room, only the young lama in white was reading scriptures by lighting an oil lamp.

After closing the door, Mijue Doji said nothing, but his aura was like a giant beast from the abyss that was about to break free from its cage.

Mijue Dorje spoke in a very low voice, as if squeezed out from between his teeth:
"Where did you hide her?"

The young lama in white put down his Buddhist scriptures and looked at Mijue Dorje with a half-smile.

"Still not found?"

Mijue Dorje waved his hand and said, "Stop pretending. You are the only one in the entire Mount Kailash who has the ability to take her away quietly!"

"It's been hundreds of years, and you still don't give up. Are you trying to play tricks?" Kailash walked forward with a grim look, raised his hand, and the entire wooden table shattered in an instant.

"I think you know what the consequences of taking her away are!"

The white-robed lama looked calm and oblivious to the tremendous ferocity displayed by Mikyeo Dorje.

"You guessed wrong. It wasn't me who did it this time."

"If it's not you, then who else could it be!" Mijue Doji frowned, because he knew that the guy in front of him would not lie.

Facing Mikyeo Dorje's oppression, the white-robed lama simply clasped his hands together, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Seeing the attitude of the white-robed lama, Mijue Dorje immediately understood and snorted coldly.

"You know where she is now, right?!"

"No matter who it is, I must see little Zhuoma before dawn tomorrow, otherwise you know what I will do!" After he finished speaking, he stared into the eyes of the white-robed lama: "Believe me, you will definitely not like that result!"

He has used this trick for hundreds of years, and he believes that there will be no accidents this time.

Soon, Mijue Dorje smiled.

Because he knew that the guy in front of him had compromised again.

After persisting for a long time, the white-robed lama sighed miserably: "I know where she is, but I may not be able to take her out of that place."

He looked up at Mijue Dorje and said in a complicated tone: "You know, I am not complete, and neither are you."

After saying this, the white-robed lama stopped looking at Mijue Dorje’s stiff face, put his hands together, and slowly walked out of the room.
-
The monks who went out to search gradually returned, all of them were dejected, covered in frost and snow.
Gao Miao went out several more times, searching in different directions, but returned disappointed every time.

He even planned to go down the mountain to find Li Yang, but he was worried that Li Yang was in seclusion at the critical moment of breaking through to Yang Shen, and he might not be able to see his real self, so he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

In contrast, Mijue Dorje changed his attitude after returning in the morning.

Instead of being nervous, Mijue Dorje had even started to leisurely tinker with the small vegetable plots.

Gao Miao was in a state of anxiety until 4 p.m. He could no longer sit still and planned to go down the mountain to ask for support and find the town's fire station to search the mountain.

As soon as I walked out of the temple gate, I saw two figures, one big and one small, walking slowly on the white snowy road.

After seeing the two people clearly, Gao Miao shouted in surprise.
"Little Zhuoma!!"

"Brother!"

Little Zhuoma also saw Gao Miao. She excitedly waved away the white-robed lama's hand and ran towards Gao Miao.

Gao Miao's face just showed joy, but he quickly returned to his cold expression when he realized something was wrong.

"You're running around again, don't you know that everyone is worried about you!!"

"I'm not running around!"

Little Zhuoma argued loudly for herself: "I just followed the chanting of several masters and began to meditate. Then, when I opened my eyes in a daze, I arrived at a strange place!"

Gao Miao frowned: "You didn't move around, how could you run to other places!"

Seeing that Gao Miao didn't believe her, Xiao Zhuoma immediately became anxious: "Really, and that place is very beautiful, with colorful colors everywhere, I thought I was dreaming!"

Noticing that Gao Miao was still suspicious, little Zhuoma quickly spread out her hands, revealing a stone she had been holding for a long time: "Here, this is what I picked up there!"

This is a colorful and translucent stone. It feels warm to the touch, like glass jade, or like crystallized sand after melting, but it is colorful.
Little Zhuoma was obviously very fond of this beautiful stone, and the stone was already covered with sweat from her hands.

Gao Miao first briefly explored it, then his expression changed and he held the stone in his hand.
"You mean, you just picked this up on the ground!"

"Yes, there are many such stones there, but this one in my hand is the most beautiful!"

After Xiao Zhuoma finished speaking, she raised her chin proudly.

Gao Miao wanted to cry but had no tears.

This is a spiritual stone, a spiritual stone of high grade, even higher in quality than the spiritual stones in Mount Emei.

Little Zhuoma continued, “I couldn’t find you when I woke up, and I was a little scared. I thought I was dreaming, so I wandered around. After a while, I heard someone calling my name, and then I slowly walked out.”

Gao Miao quickly noticed the loophole in Xiao Zhuoma's words: "Just for a while?"

"Yup!"

"About a few minutes, maybe?"

Gao Miao held the stone in his palm and frowned tightly.
