Traveling through time, all of them are the protagonist's public enemies

Chapter 86: Revenge and Revenge, Laughing in the World (2 chapters in one, please subscribe!)
Meng Qi's body trembled slightly!

The Golden Bell Cover was about to be activated subconsciously, but he immediately remembered Hongneng's repeated warnings before, telling him not to have any intention of fighting, to be at ease and peaceful, and to face everything with a heart of bliss and freedom.

So Meng Qi gathered his energy and spirit.

With his right hand, he pulled up Zhenhui, who was unable to resist his body's reaction, and injected internal energy into him to help him stabilize his state.

Hehe, you usually appear foolish and wise, but you can't handle it right now... Meng Qi felt a little proud.

Just now, the junior brother was better at resisting the temptation of beauty than himself, so now he finally found an opportunity to "laugh" at him.

Well, I'm such a narrow-minded person, I will never miss such an opportunity! But Brother Yang, how come there is no effect at all? Could it be that he has reached the state of mind like Bodhi?
Yang Chen looked calm, as if he didn't hear anything.

"Amitabha, why should you be so attached to the cause and effect that has already passed?"

The eight-tailed fox appeared, Hongneng sighed, and took a step forward, looking quite carefree, as if a bamboo stick and straw sandals were lighter than a horse.

Meng Qi regained his "otherworldly" appearance, followed behind Hong Neng, a smile on his face, and walked gracefully.

The demonic energy that seemed to be able to make the entire Tianhaiyuan tremble seemed to be able to only disturb Yang Chen and others mentally.

It is difficult to truly break through the "close yet far away" barrier and invade.

Moreover, it seemed to have some concerns, fearing that if it attacked without reservation, it would be known as a bully and would attract the attention of the great monks of Lan Ke Temple. The latter point was Meng Qi's guess.

After all, a powerful demon clan that can occupy a "paradise" should have a magical weapon to protect the clan, just like Shaolin's Ananda Sword and Xijian Pavilion's Zhanwo Sword.

Since the other party did not call out the clan's magical weapon for unknown reasons, Meng Qi naturally did not ask any more questions.

To avoid getting into trouble, he supported Zhenhui and followed Hongneng with steady steps along the river.

Walk towards the light blue and transparent lake.

When they reached the edge of the plateau, the river rushed upstream, which was against common sense. When Meng Qi and Hong Neng arrived on the plateau, the sky suddenly became bright.

It turned out that the huge white fox had disappeared, and a Buddhist temple had mysteriously appeared on the plateau. It was simple and unpretentious, with melodious bells and a solemn and majestic atmosphere.

A mountain road winds down from the Buddhist temple and extends in front of Yang Chen and others, as if waiting for everyone to climb up.

Hongneng took a deep breath, slowly knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and chanted the Buddha's name softly.

"Senior Brother Hongneng?" Meng Qi asked doubtfully.

The white fox disappeared, and the girl and Zhenhui gradually returned to normal, looking at Hongneng in the same confusion.

Hongneng smiled calmly and said:

"When I was a child, I entered the temple and said that whenever I came across a Buddhist temple, I would bow every three steps and worship the Buddha with all my heart."

"But this is an illusion?"

Meng Qi frowned slightly and asked.

Hongneng just smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

“The Buddhist temple exists in my heart, not somewhere else. Once I have ‘seen’ it, it is the true Buddhist temple.”

"Forehead……"

Meng Qi seemed to understand but not quite.

Hongneng looked at him and said slowly:

"Shaolin is a branch of Zen Buddhism, and has always advocated pointing directly to one's own Buddha nature. Although this differs from the path followed by my humble temple, I also feel that this principle is profound. It is neither on this shore nor on the other shore, nor in the middle stream. There is no Buddha outside the mind."

Meng Qi nodded slightly, recalling the Confucian Yangming School's idea that "there is nothing outside the mind", and no longer had any objection to Hongneng's move.

when!
The sound of the bell spread far and wide. Hongneng knelt down with a pious look on his face, knocking the bell every three steps, and walked slowly along the mountain road.

Meng Qi had never made such a promise to worship Buddha, nor did he have the true intention to worship Buddha, so he just followed silently, quietly enjoying the sacred peace brought by the atmosphere at the moment.

This feeling did not come from the protection of the Buddhas in the sky, nor from the lingering sound of scriptures and Buddhist chants, but from the pious heart of Hongneng when he kowtowed meticulously.

Yang Chen had already begun to comprehend and practice.

It is true that opportunity is rare and cannot be missed. The chance to enter Tianhaiyuan for cultivation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The mountain road was long, but Hongneng showed no sign of impatience.

During the journey, seeing Yang Chen entering a state of cultivation, Meng Qi also began to practice the Golden Bell Cover technique, hoping to take this opportunity to complete the fifth level as soon as possible.

This is because only after the fifth level is completed can one start practicing the sixth level and then condense the acupoints related to the nasal orifice.

Otherwise, your practice will stagnate.

However, Yang Chen's Eight-Nine Profound Art does not have these threshold restrictions, and he can directly cultivate the Nine Natural Apertures.

"Save me many days of hard work, and I'll open up the six orifices immediately..."

Yang Chen's sixth orifice is about to open, and the rest are the mouth orifice, the front yin, and the back yin, which will form the inner heaven and earth circulation.

After that, it is time to condense the ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows.

Open the gate of life and death, merge the inside and the outside, enter that half-step outside scene, and even truly break through the realm of the outside scene!
……

Cultivating here is so fast, no wonder Brother started practicing after entering Tianhaiyuan... Meng Qi suddenly realized and said to Zhenhui, "Practicing here, the progress is amazing!
One hour is equivalent to a whole day's practice for me. You should start practicing now!"

"Brother, you just found out?"

Zhenhui nodded heavily, looking very pleased with herself.

"My little mouse burrows very quickly."

Oh my goodness! I guess I'm the only one who realized it late... Meng Qi sighed helplessly.

However, Hongneng was devotedly worshipping Buddha and was completely oblivious to the conversation, not paying any attention to it.

Meng Qi hurriedly seized the opportunity to practice.

Anyway, I am just walking unconsciously now and don’t need to deal with any battles. It is a good time to practice.

After about a day, Meng Qi looked like an Arhat blessed with Buddha's light, with a solemn appearance. He had completed the fifth level of the Golden Bell Cover!

Moreover, because his body was tempered by the essence of divine thunder, the true meaning of Ananda's sword technique of breaking the precepts was in line with the essence of Buddhism.

Therefore, this pass was sealed as the first grade.

In this way, not only did the weak spot on Meng Qi's chest disappear, but even the weak spot on the vest behind him also condensed into one.

It's no longer a weakness.

At this point, Meng Qi still had nine natural orifices, as well as thirteen weak points: Dantian, temples, eyebrows, and throat.

They will gradually disappear as the level of the Golden Bell Cover increases, but before achieving the Dharmakaya, there will always be a weakness that will be difficult to eliminate no matter how much practice is done.

"One day's hard work is equivalent to a month's hard training."

Meng Qi chuckled. Although the fifth level was nearly complete, it would normally take about a month of hard training. He hadn't expected that Tian Haiyuan's "difficulty" would actually become a help.

Now, I should be able to exchange a few moves with Senior Brother Yang, right?
Meng Qi looked towards Yang Chen, and saw a layer of golden light on Yang Chen's body, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

At the same time, a sound rang out from Yang Chen's body. It was a loud sound, like the ringing of a bell, the shaking of a tripod, or the sound of a sword.

Showing the wonderful changes in Yang Chen's body.

In the end, the golden light gathered into a dazzling divine ring, enveloping Yang Chen completely.

It is like an immortal golden body, a god descending to earth.

Hiss, could it be that Senior Brother Yang has come up with something new?
Doesn't that mean the only three orifices left unopened are the mouth, the front and back orifices... Meng Qi was secretly shocked. I am already considered one of those who are quick to open, but there is still such a gap between me and you!
Such a fast speed of enlightenment is unheard of!

"Amitabha……"

Hongneng kowtowed all the way to the front of the Buddhist temple.

Just as they were about to enter the temple to worship Buddha, suddenly, the plateau, lake and temple began to sway like waves.

In the blink of an eye, the smoke disappeared without a trace.

Only a loud voice sounded:

"This girl has demon blood, and is connected to my Tianhaiyuan bloodline, so let her stay here to practice."

White girl?
Zhenhui looked into the distance blankly, and saw a girl in flowing white clothes smiling at him.

"Little monk, please remember my name is Bai Xue." The girl's faint voice came. Zhenhui nodded in shock, and the next moment, the girl Bai Xue's figure disappeared at the end of the world.

Just as Meng Qi was about to comfort Zhenhui, he heard the little fox's charming and tender voice faintly coming from the horizon:

"Little monk Zhenchen, remember this: my name is Tushan Honghong. When I leave Tianhaiyuan, I will kill you so badly that you will have no way to escape to heaven or to hell!"

Good guy!
This little fox has a lot of resentment towards Senior Brother Yang!
Fortunately, they didn’t target me. I also know Ananda’s sword technique, so I wasn’t exposed. Meng Qi said he was lucky!

Being targeted by Gu Xiaosang has already cast a shadow over his life, and if there is another little fox, he won’t be able to sleep well!
Only Senior Brother Yang can control and subdue this little fox demon!

Meng Qi looked around, and all he saw were deep canyons, desolate gravel, and complex landforms.

It seemed as if the beautiful scenery of rivers, mountains, plateaus, sky and sea before was just an illusory dream.

"It's just a dream..."

Meng Qi sighed softly, filled with emotion.

Hong Neng smiled and said, "This time, thanks to the donor Bai Xue, the demon donors in Tianhaiyuan have already given up. I will just take you to Tanhan Oasis."

At this moment, they had already entered the land of Tanhan, and were only one or two hours away from the oasis.

"Thanks to Senior Brother Hongneng's incredible skill, 'A World Away', the demons retreated in defiance of the challenge."

Meng Qi expressed his sincere gratitude.

Hongneng clasped his hands together, not showing any trace of smugness. He chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, it is because they have good intentions that they withdrew early. Otherwise, I am afraid I would have to hold on for another half a day. It is hard to predict whether I can hold on."

Yang Chen also thanked Hongneng:

"Brother, you are too modest. The method of "A World Away from Home" is truly invulnerable to all attacks. It is indeed worthy of being the secret and unique skill of Lan Ke Temple."

But now it's mine...

Zhenhui followed suit and thanked Hongneng.

"Junior brother, thank you for your compliment!"

Hongneng clasped his hands together and said, "Once we reach Tanhan Oasis, heading south will lead to Xieling, and returning east will lead to Liushaji. As long as we are careful and cautious, we can escape the horse bandits' pursuit."

Just as he was about to leave, Hongneng suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "A day in the mountains is a thousand years in the real world. Although Tianhaiyuan isn't as effective as this, it has similar effects. My three junior brothers, don't misjudge the time."

"A day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world."

Meng Qi was stunned at first, but then suddenly realized, "No wonder one day of cultivation in Tianhaiyuan is as effective as a month. It turns out that nearly a month has passed outside."

A month has passed, and the Shaolin reinforcements must have arrived long ago. They may have rescued the master and headed to the Vajra Temple.

After searching for the three of them in vain, they returned.

This situation is actually a good thing for Yu Mengqi, as he doesn't need to be "captured" back to Shaolin.

And disappeared for a month...

The horse bandits probably thought that they had already returned to the Central Plains, and the dragnet-like pursuit would naturally disappear.

After sending my junior brother to the foot of Shaolin Mountain, I will be free and at ease, like a dragon returning to the sea, hahahaha!

Meng Qi couldn't help but smile when he thought about the future when he could avenge his enemies and dominate the world with Brother Yang!
His strength is still a little weak. He is afraid that he will not be able to travel the world on his own. He has to hold on to Yang Chen first. As for "revenge" on the bully Yang Chen?
We'll have to wait until my magical powers are fully developed and talk about it in the future!

……

Not long after, the four arrived at the oasis and entered the market. Because they had changed their clothes in the fish sea, the number of people did not match, and the time did not match, Meng Qi was not afraid of being discovered.

He wanted to invite Hongneng to have dinner with him at the inn.

Hongneng smiled and shook his head, chanting a Buddhist name:

"Amitabha, fate comes and goes, I still have great wishes to fulfill, so I will say goodbye."

Meng Qi knew that he was devoted to his cultivation, so he didn't try to keep him. He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha. If Senior Brother Hongneng needs any help in the future, just tell me."

"If we are destined to meet again, we will."

Hongneng looked at the three of them, nodded with a smile, and then turned and left casually.

"Lan Ke Temple is so mysterious."

Meng Qi looked at his back and sighed.

Yang Chen nodded slightly.

Meng Qi smiled broadly, looked at the inn, and said, "I haven't tasted meat in a month. I really can't wait!"

In fact, only one day has passed...

Zhenhui said to Meng Qi in a serious tone, "Brother, you have finally come to your senses. According to the precepts, you should no longer eat meat."

The smile on Meng Qi's face suddenly froze and collapsed little by little. He didn't have the self-awareness of a Shaolin disciple at all.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Meng Qi feigned a few coughs and said to Zhenhui with a serious face, "Junior brother, only when you return to Shaolin and leave a record in the Miscellaneous Courtyard and the Discipline Courtyard can you be considered to have truly entered the realm of awakening. Only then will you be required to abide by the rules of the awakening period."

"is it?"

Zhenhui scratched his head, looking confused.

"Yes."

Meng Qi put on an expression that said, "Just trust me."

"Ok."

Zhenhui said happily, "Then let's go eat meat!"

"So you want to eat meat too!" "So you're so wise!" Meng Qi smiled and walked into the inn first.

We chose a quiet place with easy access to the backyard and ordered various foods including roasted lamb legs.

Many guests were talking loudly, their voices spreading throughout the inn. Meng Qi tilted his head slightly, moved his ears slightly, and listened to the guests' conversation, hoping to fill the gap of this "month".

Only Zhenhui looked eagerly towards the kitchen, expecting the delicious food to be served.

"I heard that the Vajra Temple surrendered?"

"Of course, their Dharma King Lunkong, who was in charge of external affairs, committed suicide, and his body was sent to the three divine monks of Xiaolin!

The Vajra Temple said that King Lunkong coveted the Shaolin secret skills and secretly trained spies to steal them.

After the matter was exposed, fearing being discovered, he went to find the weeping old man in seclusion and instigated him to kill the monk Xuanbei.

In an attempt to provoke a head-on confrontation between the two temples.

Unexpectedly, the Divine Monk Xuanbei not only survived the Weeping Old Man's hand, but instead fought hard for over ten days, repelling the Weeping Old Man. Although seriously injured, he used this opportunity to break through to the peak of the Outer Realm! Dharma King Lunkong's plot failed, and he had no choice but to commit suicide to apologize.

“Suicide?
As the Grand Master of the Seventh Layer of the Outer Realm, Dharma King Lunkong would be unable to do these things without going through the other Dharma Kings. Hehe, it is a good idea to commit suicide, it is a wonderful idea to commit suicide!

How did the three Shaolin monks react?"

"What else can we do? A Grand Master committed suicide. Vajra Temple has already paid a huge price and surrendered.

Shaolin suffered no substantial damage, so if you don't want to provoke an all-out war between the two temples, just quit while you can."

It turned out to be like this...

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi put aside the hidden worries in his heart. Not only was his master safe and sound, he had also broken through to the peak of the external scene!

It’s really great!

"I wonder where those three Shaolin disciples went? After causing such a big commotion in the vast sea, they suddenly disappeared. Could they have been captured and murdered by the bandits from Xieling?"

"impossible!

On the day when the two Shaolin monks arrived, all the famous horse bandits in Hanhai who were involved in this incident went into hiding!
Even the leaders of the Nine Apertures and Eight Apertures of Xieling have quietly descended the mountain, hiding somewhere unknown. Only the 'evil scholar' Kang Zhi and the two leaders of the Seven Apertures remain."

"Yes, if they had captured a Shaolin disciple, they could have gotten rid of their anger. Why did they kill Gu Changqing's entire family first and then take Gu Changqing to Xieling?"

Snap!
The wooden chopsticks in Meng Qi's hand fell to the ground, his face pale. It was obvious that he was stimulated by these words and was unable to suppress his grief.

How could this be?
I was the one who caused him trouble...

A nameless fire suddenly rose up in Meng Qi's heart. He could hardly hold back and went over to find out what was going on!
