Embers of Sword

Chapter 756 Accident
The position of Buddhist disciple at Fanyin Temple has been passed on twice in the past ten years.

Before Miaozhen's revival, it was Yin Chanzi who took on the role.

After Miaozhen was revived, she found the Buddha's bone of Tanluan and then abdicated to Miyun.

At the time of the second abdication, Xie Xuanyi happened to be in seclusion in the Thirty-Three Grotto-Heavens. After he came out of seclusion, the Northern Prefecture underwent a sudden change, and there was too much news to process.

"This journey north to enter the pass was the decision of the Buddha."

Fude Luohan looked down at the teacup in his palm, pondered for a long time, and slowly said, "I don't really understand why I entered the pass... I just heard the Buddha say that separation is possible, but the world cannot be destroyed. There are some things that someone should do."

Separation may lead to death, but the world must not perish...

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyes.

After receiving the "Buddha's Bone of Tanluan," Miyun comprehended the Way of Cause and Effect and became the new Buddha's disciple.

In a sense.

This little guy can see the "future".

The fact that Miyun could say these words suggests that she had likely seen the position of the demon kingdom's strategist and knew that Xuanbei Pass was about to face a great calamity.

Xie Xuanyi thought for a moment and asked seriously, "So... Miyun has also entered the pass?"

"I'm sorry... I cannot tell you."

Fude shook his head, his expression serious.

This was the first time he had met the man in the straw hat.

Although he was acting on the orders of the Buddha, he did not know the other party's identity and would never reveal any information about the Buddha.

only……

In Xie Xuanyi's view, the answer was obvious given the seriousness of the Arhat Fude.

"I'm sorry, I meant no harm."

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be more than just you among the Yin God experts from the Buddhist sect who have entered the pass this time... You should take good care of Miyun. Nalan Qiutong brought the Flower Master into the city, which means that the Iron Curtain has probably already detected the aura of the Buddhist cultivators."

"you……"

Fu De paused for a moment, then realized the key point and said as if facing a formidable enemy, "The Flower Master has entered the city?!"

He had been watching the movements south of Xuanbei Pass from afar, and had only seen Nalan Qiutong.

"That's the one sitting in the car."

Xie Xuanyi calmly said, "I ran into the Flower Master... She is very strong, far surpassing you. Whatever the purpose of the Buddhist sect's entry into the pass this time, be extremely careful and do not expose yourselves. With Miaozhen and Yin Chanzi not here, the Flower Master alone can kill all the Buddhist cultivators in the city."

These words were not an exaggeration.

The strength of someone at the Great Perfection of the Yin Spirit Realm... is truly too powerful!
Within this city, there are only two people who can stand against the Flower Master.

Chen Chong, and Han Li.

The former has been promoted to Yang God for over a year and rarely shows his face, let alone fights with Yin Gods.

The latter... is the Crown Prince's absolute confidant in Chongzhou. If a fight breaks out in the city, Han Li will only stand on the side of the Flower Master.

"This is bad."

Fu De rubbed his head and said in distress, "Originally, we only needed to deal with Du Yunzhong and Jian Qingqiu's gang... Now there's an extra Flower Master..."

Before Nalan Qiutong arrived.

Within this Northern Pass, besides Chen Chong and Han Li, there should only be three Yin God Realm experts.

One of them was Du Yunzhong, the Iron Cavalry General of the Cangzi Battalion under Chen Chong.

There were also two others, Han Li's "right-hand men," one named Jian Qingqiu and the other Yun Ruohai. Their names sounded delicate and effeminate, but their strength was not to be underestimated. The Chongzhou Iron Cavalry could rival Chen Chong, and this was not due to the Crown Prince's excessive support. Long before Chen Chong rose to fame, Han Li had already made a name for himself in the northern border region of Li Kingdom!
Jian Qingqiu and Yun Ruohai are two formidable figures who are well-known throughout the country and are on par with Du Yunzhong and Meng Kejian!
"What on earth are you going to do?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Logically speaking.

The Buddhist monks infiltrated Xuanbei Pass... they shouldn't have been able to expose their identities under any circumstances.

With the flower owner's arrival, one simply needs to be more careful.

Could these guys be planning to show up at Xuanbei Pass?

"donor."

Of course, the Arhat Fude would not answer this question.

He took a deep breath, stood up, pushed open the bamboo window, looked around, and solemnly said, "Thank you for your reminder tonight... Please excuse me for taking my leave. The days to come will likely be very turbulent at Xuanbei Pass, so please take good care of yourself." The iron cavalry had already withdrawn.

Now is a good time to leave; if we wait until dawn, things may change again.

Say it.

The Arhat Fude clasped his hands in a respectful bow, then, without further hesitation, leaped out of the window.

Xie Xuanyi stood at the window, his expression complicated, and did not stop him again.

……

……

Another inn in Xuanbeiguan.

The lights flickered.

A tall, thin monk with long eyebrows that reached the ground stood by the window, holding a candle, gazing into the distance, and sighed softly, "Brother Fude has not yet returned."

At the bedside.

A thin, small figure sat cross-legged with his knees drawn up to his chest, wearing a monk's robe that had been washed until it was almost white.

The monk's robe was still stained with some grass and mustard.

It is Miyun.

"No more words, no more talk, just save lives, and leave when it's done..."

Mi Yun said with some helplessness, "I'm afraid he has completely forgotten the warning I left him earlier."

"Master Buddha."

The tall, thin monk turned around and asked curiously, "Who is it that deserves Fude's help?"

Stand in front of the window.

He could clearly see the figures of iron cavalry in the distance.

Most of the northern pass was blocked by iron cavalry... The hook-and-pinchers were attacked as soon as they entered the city, which was almost a blatant provocation.

"A young traveling merchant."

Miyun said softly, "What I saw in the Dao Realm of Cause and Effect... was a traveling merchant."

"merchant?"

The tall, thin monk paused for a moment, then said in confusion, "A merchant... even if he's being targeted by the Hook Pliers Master, is it really necessary for Fude to show himself and rescue him?"

This rescue.

It was practically a proclamation to the entire Xuanbei Pass...

The great Buddhist practitioners have already entered the city.

"They need to be saved."

Mi Yun lowered her eyes and said softly, "I can't see the cause and effect that are too far away, but I know... this person must be saved."

"..."

The tall, thin monk said no more.

He knew that the manifestation of the law of cause and effect was almost never wrong.

A Buddhist disciple's decisions are never wrong.

“Uncle-Master Longbrow, it seems that Fude won’t be back for a while.”

Miyun stood up, patted the straw off her clothes, and said softly, "It's almost dawn, there's no need to wait any longer... I'll need your help to escort me into the inner city later."

"Master Buddha..."

Upon hearing this, the long-browed Arhat's heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You've just entered the city, shouldn't you rest for a while? Wasn't the original plan to wait two more days before entering the inner city?"

"There's no need to rest anymore."

Miyun shook her head and said with a smile, "Man proposes, God disposes... In the cause and effect I saw some time ago, there was no Nalan Qiutong tonight, nor that traveling merchant. With your help and the blessing of Fude, everything went very smoothly. But tonight, the scene reflected in the Dao of Cause and Effect has changed."
