Eternal Sword

Chapter 703: Falling into a trap
Wujiang Mountain, Xiping Temple.

Since the fall of the Wu Dynasty and the burial of Emperor Wu here, this temple has been abandoned for many years.

Even if someone goes up the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha, they all go to Xinping Zen Temple on the other side of Wujiang Mountain.

Although the destruction of Buddhism by the Daqian regime has not yet affected this place, most of the monks in the Zen temple have already fled upon hearing the news, and no one goes up the mountain to worship Buddha anymore.

Recently, many pilgrims have come to Wujiang Mountain.

Some people chose to stay there after burning incense and worshipping Buddha.

Many monks had left the Zen temple, and there were enough empty rooms, so it was more than enough for these pilgrims to stay.

There were also some people wandering around Wujiang Mountain and observing around Xiping Temple.

"Abbot, these pilgrims don't look like ordinary people. They all have martial arts skills. Could they be people from the imperial court and are going to attack our temple?"

"It's possible. I noticed that some of the pilgrims carried a solemn and murderous aura, like veterans who had been through many battles."

"But if they are from the imperial court, we can just send troops to surround and destroy them. Why are they hiding by disguising themselves as pilgrims?"

In the Xinping Zen Temple, the monks who stayed behind discovered something unusual but didn't know the reason.

Abbot Benguang said, "Don't pay any attention to them. They are not coming for us. Let them be."

This day.

Three pilgrims came to the outside of Xiping Temple.

One of them was a relatively young man and one was a relatively young woman. They were the young master Qin Xi and his young mistress Qifu Minglan from the old Wu Dynasty.

Beside the two men, there was a rough and burly man with disheveled hair, eyes like bells, and the gait of a dragon and a tiger. With every step he took, the ground trembled slightly, and his imposing manner was extraordinary.

The Dragon and Tiger Overlord, begs for surrender to Qin!

As soon as the three of them stepped into Xiping Temple, they saw an old monk in front of them in the dilapidated hall. He stood in front of the Buddhist altar with his back to them, hunched over, and holding a string of prayer beads in his hand.

Seeing this back figure, the Dragon and Tiger Overlord felt a chill in his heart and quickly restrained his wild and rough aura, even his footsteps became much lighter.

The old monk must have heard the loud noise behind him, but he did not turn around.

Qifu Qinchong winked at Qin Xi.

Qin Xi understood, took a few steps forward, bowed to the old monk, and said, "I am Qin Xi, a descendant of Emperor Wu. May I ask, senior, whether my father was buried here?"

The old monk still did not turn around, but just asked: "Mr. Qin, are you here to worship your ancestors?"

"Exactly."

Qin Xi nodded.

The old monk asked again: "Why do you come here at this time?"

"This……"

Qin Xi was speechless for a moment when asked.

Of course, paying homage to Emperor Wu was just an excuse. The main purpose was to invite Zen Buddhism to come down the mountain and help the Wu Dynasty restore its country.

But if I say it so directly, it would seem too deliberate.

Qi Fu Qin, seeing Qin Xi in a dilemma, hesitated and couldn't stand it any longer, so he said straight to the point: "I was Qi Fu Qin, the immortal master beside your majesty. I am here to meet you, senior Zen master!"

"In addition to paying respects to His Majesty, I have another important matter. I would like to ask Senior Zen to come down the mountain and lend a helping hand to the young master and support Dawu!"

The old monk sighed softly, turned around slowly, and looked at Qin Xi and the other two, with a look similar to pity in his eyes.

This kind of look made Qifu Qin feel a little uncomfortable.

But he did not dare to attack the Zen sect, and said in a deep voice: "Zen elder, Beiqian destroyed Buddhism and humanity, causing countless murders. Monks all over the world have fled and are homeless."

"As long as the Zen Sect helps the young master, we can naturally gather the power of Buddhism and fight against the Xuantian Sect."

Zen asked: "Why did the court destroy Buddhism?"

Qifu Qin said: "In addition to suppressing Buddhism, we can also confiscate the Buddhists' property and replenish the empty treasury, killing two birds with one stone..."

Zen Zong did not answer, but just looked at Qin Xi and the other two silently.

Qifu Qin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stopped talking.

Qin Xi's heart trembled, and he quickly asked: "The purpose of destroying Buddhism is to force the senior to show up?" Qifu Minglan said: "Your Highness, don't panic. In the past few days, we have sent many people to the mountain, and we didn't find anything unusual."

"Shut up!"

Qifu Qin scolded with a serious look.

If the person that Xuantian Sect wants to deal with is Zen Buddhism, then a great master of the realm of transformation will definitely come forward.

How could they detect a strong person of this level?
No wonder the old Zen monk looked at them with something strange in his eyes.

"Hurry up, get down the mountain now!"

Qifu Qin figured out the key to this and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He said something and turned around to run away.

"hehe."

A sneer suddenly sounded above Xiping Temple.

Rumble!
The next moment, the soil around Xiping Temple surged, and huge stone walls suddenly rose up.

In an instant, the earth shook!

"break!"

When Qifu Qin saw the stone wall suddenly appear, his blood surged, and his every move made sounds like tiger roars and dragon howls. He punched the stone wall in front of him hard!
boom!
His fist hit the stone wall with a loud bang.

But the next moment, Qifu Qin's whole body shook violently, and he was instantly flung away, spitting blood.

"Father!"

Qifu Minglan exclaimed and hurried forward.

The surrounding stone walls continued to rise, and now the place is completely blocked off.

Seeing this, Qin Xi turned pale and looked frightened.

Even the masters were unable to break through this stone wall and were even injured by it, so it was even more impossible for them to escape.

"Heaven!"

Qin Xi suddenly had an idea.

The direction above your head is the only way to survive!
Qin Xi looked up and was shocked.

Above his head, an extremely handsome middle-aged man slowly descended. His figure was like a towering mountain falling from the sky. He exuded a terrifying pressure and a suffocating breath!
"This is……"

Qin Xi looked terrified.

"Master Xuantian!"

When Qifu Qin saw the person coming, he uttered four words through his bloody teeth.

Qin Xi and Qifu Minglan's faces changed when they heard this.

Xuantian Sect Leader looked at Qin Xi and the other two with a hint of sarcasm, and said calmly: "We have sprinkled the bait, but we haven't seen the big fish yet, but we have an unexpected surprise."

"Son of Emperor Wu, haha, walking into a trap yourself, how foolish!"

Before he finished speaking, Xuantian Sect Leader flicked his fingertips.

A ray of white light flew towards Qin Xi and the other two at an extremely fast speed.

There was a flash of cold light in the air, and Qin Xi and the other two felt a bone-chilling chill!
when!
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared and hit the white light.

The white light flashed, revealing its true form, which was a flying sword with a cold glow.

That golden light turned out to be a rosary bead.

"Since you are here for me, why do you want to involve innocent people?"

The old monk chanted the Buddha's name softly, slowly stood up, held the rosary in one hand, picked up the Zen stick beside him with the other, and walked out of the hall.

"The remnants of the previous dynasty are not innocent, not to mention that he is the son of Emperor Wu."

Xuantian Sect Leader sneered and said, "Old bald donkey, you are old and your energy and blood are declining. You are no longer what you used to be. I want to kill him. Can you stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, Sect Leader Xuantian waved his sleeves.

Whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, sixteen flying swords broke through the air, making a sharp sound!
