From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Hearing the three words "Nie Xiaoqian", Xu Xing instinctively narrowed his eyes with a strange light in his eyes, and remembered something.

——Li Xiuru had previously mentioned that he had a senior brother named Ning Caichen.

This person has an extremely outstanding talent in swordsmanship. At a young age, he is already a real sword practitioner with outstanding sword skills and clear sword intent. He is qualified to be in charge of a peak and become one of the thirty-six peak masters.

The elders and peak masters of Qingcheng Sword Sect all sincerely believed that Ning Caichen was an unparalleled genius who was capable of inheriting the mantle of their grandmaster, the Chicheng Sword Immortal, and supporting the Sword Sect.

Some even believed that if this person had not died prematurely, he might have had a chance to achieve the status of a sword immortal and establish another family lineage of sword cultivators besides the Li and Pei families.

Therefore, people in the Sword Sect all call it "Ning's sword, unparalleled and unrivaled."

Xu Xing originally thought this was just a coincidence spanning several worlds, but when he learned that Nie Xiaoqian was related to the seven-life grudge couple, he couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.

If Nie Xiaoqian is really that person, then is this Ning Caichen also related to the Five Directions Demonic Sect?
Although the basis for this speculation came entirely from Xu Xing's impressions of his previous life, his experience in this world also made him vaguely aware of one thing:

Although these impressions may not be exactly the same as the facts, they do contain some information worth referring to.

While Xu Xing was thinking, he was observing the movements of the evil spirit. Fahai and Dharma Protector Shi were doing the same, with solemnity and fear in their eyes.

After all, according to Xu Xing, this seemingly harmless ghost might be the hidden backup of the Lord of Freedom.

——When it comes to this demon, even a peerless master at the level of True Immortal would not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Fahai and Dharma Protector Shi also know about him, so they are naturally extremely cautious.

Yin Ling said this completely out of trust in "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva" and blurted it out without any thought.

Only after she finished speaking did she notice the presence of Xu Xing and others. She suddenly shut her mouth and returned to her previous cautious and fearful state, with her eyes shrinking.

Xu Xing's eyes moved, knowing that Nie Xiaoqian had sensed some of Fahai and Shi Hufa's thoughts through some means similar to her innate magical powers, and suddenly said:

“This girl seems to have a connection with Bodhi Zun, so why don’t we step aside for now and let the two of them communicate.

It just so happens that I have something to ask you guys."

Fahai and Protector Shi looked at each other, then looked at Xu Xing who was at ease, and nodded.

They also knew that Xu Xing was quite familiar with Hua Zizai Tian's magic power. If he made such a suggestion, there would be no need to be so alert.

From what we can see so far, this evil spirit also has a clear consciousness and is not a wronged or evil ghost full of hostility and confusion.

If Bai Suzhen could really get her to speak up and explain her origins herself, it would save a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, they both nodded and followed Xu Xing into Leifeng Pagoda, leaving this place to Bai Suzhen and Nie Xiaoqian.

After entering Leifeng Pagoda, Fahai looked at Xu Xing again and asked:
"Apart from investigating the matter of the 'Seven Lifetimes of Enmity', do you have any other purpose here?"

Xu Xing nodded, and without hiding anything, he got straight to the point:

“I want to establish a sect in the Shiwan Mountains and recruit independent practitioners. I am in need of talents.

Xu Xian is a descendant of a medical family. He has learned the same thing as me and is quite well-respected among the independent practitioners. I came here this time to invite him to join my sect."

Start a sect?
Fahai and Shi Hufa were both people who controlled powerful families. Naturally, they understood the weight of these four words and were even more aware of the hardships involved.

Although Xu Xing is now very powerful and has the ability to transform three things into one, which is enough to match the combined strength of several great masters, he is still short of the threshold to establish a sect.

It is not easy to establish a sect, and it is even more difficult to gain a foothold in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The Stone Guardian frowned.

"Are you planning to use the Hundred Thousand Mountains as a barrier to resist the Five Sects? Excuse me, the danger of the Hundred Thousand Mountains is not inferior to that of the Demon Sect.

What's more, the demon king in the Hundred Thousand Mountains has a close relationship with the Demon Sect. If you really think so, you will be attacked from both sides and be surrounded."

As he spoke, the Stone Guardian's face became solemn, and his voice was dignified:
"The son of the Northern Branch occupied the Hundred Thousand Mountains and became the king, known as the Great Garuda King. He gathered a group of forces and dominated the area.

The guardian deity of Qingcheng Mountain was also attacked by him in the past, and his innate yin and yang energy was taken away from him. "

It was the first time that Xu Xing knew that there were people from the Demon Sect among the demon kings in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but he still shook his head and said with a smile:
"Master Shi is worrying too much. Xu just wants to find some prehistoric species with the blood of divine beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains so that he can practice.

However, if the monsters in the mountains are really connected to the Demon Sect, then this is a good opportunity to cut off a number of their wings first."

Xu Xing's words were full of strong self-confidence. He did not even mention the difficulties involved. His eyes fell directly on the Demon King, who was the potential power of the Demon Sect.

Dharma Protector Shi wanted to say something else, but after careful consideration, he had to admit that for Xu Xing, establishing a sect in the Shiwanda Mountains was indeed the best choice.

After all, although this person studied Taoism, Buddhism, and Magic, he still took the unconventional path of not receiving ordination and not worshipping gods.

If one wants to establish a sect in this way, those famous families who are too arrogant and look down on others, such as the Three Talisman Sects, will definitely not accept it.

In this case, Xu Xing might as well move the mountain gate directly to the Ten Thousand Mountains. Even if he can't stop the people from the Demon Sect, at least there will be less trouble.

But the premise of all this is whether the man in front of him and his sect can really stand firm in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

In addition to the matter of founding a sect, the two words "Xu Xian" mentioned by Xu Xing also made Shi Gandang stunned.

He naturally knew that Xu Xian was the reincarnation of the man in the first generation of seven generations of resentful lovers. The matter was of great importance, so how could Jinshan Temple let go easily?
Even if the abbot Fahai went crazy and agreed to this absurdity, how could he get past Bodhizun?
However, to the surprise of Shi Hufa, Fahai, who was always straightforward and fiery, did not think for a moment, but directly asked an irrelevant question:

"The layman is so proficient in Buddhism, where did he learn it from?"

Xu Xing thought about it and replied:
“I have never really sought out a master to study with. In the beginning, I met a few good opponents during my training and learned from them.

Later, I was fortunate to receive a portion of the "Great Vajra Power" from a master who practiced Vajra Zen and had thoroughly understood the profound truth of existence and non-existence, and that’s when I gradually got on the right track.”

"Donkey Kong power?"

Fahai was somewhat puzzled, while Xu Xing formed a hand seal and passed on to Fahai the general outline and specific steps of practicing the "Great Vajra Power".

Fahai was the head of a Buddhist sect and had been in charge of Jinshan Temple for many years. Although he was the master of the Maha lineage, he also had a lot of knowledge about the Vajra lineage. At first sight, Fahai knew that although this method and the Vajra lineage inherited by Jinshan Temple seemed to be very different, they actually came from the same source and had the same purpose.

Moreover, this unorthodox method, which derives the ultimate Buddhist truth, can actually reach the realm of true person!
Fahai was shocked, shook his head and sighed:
"Starting with the 32 physical and tangible aspects, and then moving on to the aspects of no self, no others, no sentient beings, and no life, the senior who created this achievement is truly a genius."

Fahai did not find it strange that Xu Xing had the book "Vajra Power" which could directly reach the realm of a real person.

After all, this world has always been home to many great people, and the upper realms frequently interfere in the affairs of this world. It is perfectly normal for there to be any strange inheritances.

Fahai sighed again:
"This senior has such a high level of cultivation, but he takes the side door path. I think he is a peerless master with great wisdom, courage, and perseverance, and he has made a great wish to eliminate all the side doors."

At this point, Fahai finally understood why Xu Xing, such a gifted and talented person, wanted to take a side path.

——Since he has inherited the Taoist tradition from his predecessors, he naturally has to help him resolve the cause and effect and realize his unfulfilled wishes.

Although Protector Shi did not say anything, he had a similar feeling in his heart and his liking for Xu Xing increased.

It’s because he has always valued gratitude and righteousness in his life.

In the eyes of Dharma Protector Shi, Xu Xing, who, because of the grace of being passed on the skills, was not afraid of any extraordinary hardships and vowed to seek enlightenment through a side door, was naturally the same kind of person as him.

Xu Xing did not try to explain the misunderstanding between the two people. He just lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and smiled calmly and naturally.

With this preconceived impression, Fahai looked at Xu Xing again, and the meaning in his eyes was completely different from before.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said:
"Although the Vajra Zen method that the layman has learned has a profound purpose, it lacks some practical insights. In my opinion, I am afraid that since its creation, not many people have mastered it."

Xu Xing did not hide it and nodded:

"Xu is the fourth generation successor."

The creation of a martial art requires not only the inspiration of the first generation master, but also the contribution of generations of people to make up for the deficiencies and develop and perfect it.

The Buddhist and Taoist sects in this world, because of their hostility towards the Demonic Sect, must pay more attention to the step of "filling in the gaps".

After all, the Heavenly Demon Clan is best at destroying people's foundation. Even the slightest omission in their skills would be a fatal flaw in their eyes.

The power of the Vajra has only been passed down for three generations, from Patriarch Jiuru to Yuan Tou Tuo. It is far from being comparable to the magical powers in this world that have formed a complete system over thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Because of such a strong contrast, Fahai could tell at a glance that even if this technique was not newly created, very few people should practice it.

Although Xu Xing can make up for these defects and shortcomings through many other means, it does not mean that the omissions no longer exist.

After hearing this, Fahai pondered for a moment and suddenly said:
"Since we are all Buddhist practitioners, would you like to join our Jinshan Temple, inherit the Vajra Dharma lineage, and serve as the Vajra Master?"

When these words were spoken, even the Stone Protector was shocked.

Kanglong Palace and Jinshan Temple have always been allies with a common purpose and shared resources, so he was well aware of the importance of the three positions to Jinshan Temple.

But now, Fahai actually wants to let an outsider take on this important role that determines the life and death of Jinshan Temple?
Fahai, however, remained indifferent. He looked directly at Xu Xing and said sincerely:
"The Vajra Zen method you are using is from the same source as the Vajra Dharma lineage of our temple. With your attainments in Buddhism, as long as you get started, I believe you will be able to quickly cultivate the many magical secrets of the Vajra Dharma lineage, and be qualified for this position."

After hearing this, Xu Xing frowned:

“I have heard of the three venerables at Jinshan Temple, but I have never heard that any of them is missing.”

But having said this, Xu Xing also had a vague understanding.

Among the three statues in Jinshan Temple, the most famous is naturally the Maha statue Fahai. Although the Bodhi statue Bai Suzhen has always been low-key, she is also known as the "incarnation of Guanyin".

But it is universally recognized that the Vajra Buddha, who has the smallest name and is the most mysterious, is the real stabilizer of Jinshan Temple.

It is said that this Vajra Master is the only remaining Arhat-level master in Buddhism. He is of a very high generation and has profound skills. He also made great contributions during the battle against the devil.

But now, according to what Fahai said, could it be that this living Arhat has already... ?
Upon hearing this, Fahai smiled bitterly and mentioned a secret of Jinshan Temple.

“In fact, after the battle with the demons, King Kong Zun knew that his time was running out, so he left behind the Heart Seal of the True Meaning and left Jinshan Temple, saying only that in ten years, a successor would come to take back the Heart Seal and take over the position of the Venerable.

But until now, we have not waited for that successor, and in order to protect the peace of the temple, we have to look for someone else, but we have never found one until the layman appeared. "

Fahai said this and sighed:

“In fact, I have also speculated that the reason why the successor chosen by King Kong Zun has not arrived yet is probably because he has other ideas.

Over the years, I have always wanted to meet him, but due to matters at the temple, I have not been able to do so."

When Fahai said the last part, his expression remained calm and his tone was extremely gentle, as if he was talking about an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

But whether it was Xu Xing or Protector Shi, they could clearly feel a burning, irrepressible, intense emotion from him.

For Fahai, this was an extremely rare phenomenon, and it only showed that the actions of this prospective Vajra Lord had already given rise to a strong desire to kill demons in his heart.

successor……?
In today's world, Jinshan Temple can fully represent the entire Buddhist community.

If there is a Buddhist who does not belong to Jinshan Temple but has great supernatural powers and magical powers and is capable of taking on the position of Vajra Lord, as far as Xu Xing knows, there is only one person in the world.

His eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help asking:

"Could it be that the person the master is talking about is the Dharma Master who is known as 'Bodhi Mingzong, who turns back to the ship of mercy' and protects the country, Cihang Pudu?"

"Cihang Pudu... Hey."

Fahai repeated the name, chuckled in an incomprehensible way, nodded, but did not comment further, only saying:
“If a layperson is willing to serve as a Vajra Master, then in addition to the inheritance of the Vajra Dharma lineage, the Maha Dharma lineage that I have learned can also be studied by the layperson.

As for Mr. Xu, since this is about seven generations of enemies, let’s wait for the Bodhisattva and Miss Nie to come to a conclusion before we discuss it.” (End of this chapter)
