I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 97 Could it be that fellow Taoist has been reincarnated several times?

"Sixth grade?"

A hint of astonishment clearly flashed across Zhao Wuji's tender tiger eyes. He looked at Lu Wujiu, whose cultivation had not yet reached perfection, and subconsciously asked:

"Could it be that fellow Daoist has reincarnated several times?"

Lu Wujiu thought about it and nodded, "From a certain perspective, yes!"

really!

Zhao Wuji was shocked. It seemed that Lu Wujiu, who had not yet reached the age of 60, was actually an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years and had been reincarnated for many lives.

To be honest, if he didn't have the fifth-rank Gongcao for comparison, he would naturally have no feelings about the sixth-rank position of the Netherworld Reincarnation Dao.

But he had seen a fifth-rank Gongcao and knew the power of a fifth-rank Gongcao. So what about the next level, the sixth-rank Lu position?
No wonder he disdains the Wudang Sect's inheritance!
Perhaps the Pure Yang Sword Dao is indeed unparalleled in attack, but is the goal of cultivation to be invincible? No, the power of attack is merely a derivative of cultivation. The true purpose of cultivation is to achieve immortality!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt dazed and realized that he might have gone astray.

The Pure Yang Sword Art should be about deciding life and death, not just a simple art of killing!
"Om-"

A sword sound came from within his body. Zhao Wuji felt that his sword had lost some of its sharpness but gained some toughness.

The sound of swords rang out. Zhao Wuji, neither humble nor arrogant, bowed slightly and said, "It turns out to be Lord Lu. I apologize for any offense I have caused you!"

Lu Wujiu was a little surprised by Zhao Wuji's attitude. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "It's okay. In this world, apart from life and death, everything else is trivial. Don't worry about it, fellow Taoist."

Zhao Wuji sighed, "My lord, you have reincarnated countless times, detached from the world. I am bound by this humble position, but I envy the fish, but I have no desire to catch them."

Lu Wujiu felt a little embarrassed by these words, and could only say: "Heaven has no mercy on us. We are all pitiful people, each with his own troubles!"

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "The disciples of the Wudang Sect are in imminent danger. I will accompany you to reminisce about the past when I have some free time."

"it is good!"

Lu Wujiu nodded, waved his hand, and sent Zhao Wuji out of Xuanshe Garden.

At this time, it was dawn outside, and the rising red sun cast thousands of rays of light, illuminating the mountains and the mountain paths.

Zhao Wuji stood up, bowed slightly, then turned around and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Lu Wujiu bowed and saw him off, watching him go away. Then he summoned the paper-cut horse, blew it up with his magic power, and galloped away.

He originally planned to return to Lao Lu Mountain in one breath.

However, when running out of Yong'an Mountain, he suddenly remembered that this place was not far from Bajiao Alley in Langcheng, so he simply changed route and headed for Bajiao Alley.

In the early morning, the official road was already bustling with people and vehicles, including itinerant merchants, farmers carrying loads on their shoulders, knights on horseback... waves and waves of people, making it look very lively.

Lu Wujiu and Guang Tongchen followed the crowd, walked into Langcheng, and went straight into Bajiao Alley.

This was his second time here, so he was quite familiar with the place.

He first went to Wanbaoxuan to see if there were any good things. With his current vision, although he saw three or five good things, the high prices made him feel that it was not worth buying.

While picking and choosing, a magical weapon caught his attention.

This is a spiritual banner, named: Mingwu Banner.

This banner features a deep-sea shark silk as its main pole, a hundred-year-old dragon skin as its banner, and a dragon pearl embedded within. Infused with magical power, it can create a dense fog that is difficult for ordinary winds to disperse, with a maximum depth of three miles! It's a perfect tool for both hunting and escaping.

However, in Lu Wujiu's view, this magic weapon is simply the natal magic weapon of his Taiyin Refining Form Method.

Just spend a lot of money to buy it.

Just one magic weapon wiped out most of his income from selling soul water for three months.

Fortunately, he had a stable cash flow from soul water, so he was not worried.

Then he went to replenish some standard talismans and magical instruments.

The paper-cut horses, in particular, were useful, but each piece had a limited number of uses, which made him wonder if this was intentional. It could only be said that prestigious families had their own ways of making money.

After completing the purchase, he went to Bai Xiaotang again to inquire about the Xuanlu Temple that had disappeared a hundred years ago.

"Fellow Daoist, are you also jealous of the Wudang Sect's secret room? However, let me tell you, Xuanlu Temple has been destroyed for a hundred years, and I don't know how many sects have changed on the mountain. Even if there really is a secret room, it would have been looted long ago. I have a palace here that was destroyed nearly thirty years ago. Do you want it?"

The Bai Xiaotang disciple, apparently having misunderstood something, kept pushing his sales pitch.

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "Oh, then bring them all over so we can have a look?"

"okay!"

The disciples of Baixiaotang were overjoyed and quickly brought out the catalog. Lu Wujiu glanced at it and specifically looked up the history of Nanyang Lao Lushan.

You know what, in the past thirty years, there was indeed an unknown small Taoist temple in Lao Lu Mountain, which has been in decline for some unknown reason.

"Xuanlu Temple, and Shoujing Temple!"

"okay!"

The Bai Xiao Tang disciple quickly responded, and soon after, he took out a green jade slip and handed it over: "Thank you for the two hundred taels of silver."

Lu Wujiu paid two taels of gold, put away the jade slip, and left.

Not long after, the curtain inside the quiet room was lifted, and an old man walked in: "Another one coming to check on Xuanlu Temple?"

The Bai Xiao Tang disciple quickly replied, "Yes, I deliberately used the excuse of Wudang to sell an extra piece of information."

The old man smiled and said, "Well done. I'll inform all the other halls later. If anyone comes to buy information about Xuanlu Temple, please be more considerate of the customers."

The Bai Xiao Tang disciple smiled and said, "Okay!"

……

Lu Wujiu didn't know that he had suffered a loss in Baixiaotang, or even if he knew, he didn't care much.

After leaving Bajiao Alley, he rode his horse slowly back while flipping through the jade slips with his spiritual mind. The information about Xuanlu Temple was quite detailed.

From the founding of the temple to its final destruction, almost all the masters of the temple and major events in history were recorded.

The content is roughly the same as what Zao Wou-Ki said.

Xuanlu Temple was indeed secretly sucking human blood, and it was destroyed because of Zhao Wuji. It is worth mentioning that the jade slip did not record the name of the last head of Xuanlu Temple, only his Buddhist name - Huijue.

This Buddhist name made Lu Wujiu feel out of place.

This Dharma name doesn't sound like Taoism, but more like Buddhism.

The end of the jade slip mentions that the Xuanlu Temple’s treasure was lost and no one has found it to this day.

That is the Avatamsaka Sutra, which is said to have been written with the skin of a Bodhisattva.

It is said that the art of Xuanluguan's blood-ink talismans was derived from this scripture.

This is also the core of the creation of Xuanlu View - the Bodhisattva peels his skin to make paper, splits his bones to make pens, and pricks his blood to make ink.

Because no one has found it so far, some people speculate that it may be a fabricated thing, or it may have been destroyed by Zhao Wuji's sword long ago, which made Lu Wujiu sigh.

However, the "Avatamsaka Sutra" mentioned in the jade slip gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Although he did not practice Buddhism, he knew the status of this book in Buddhism, which was similar to that of the "Tao Te Ching" in Taoism, and it had the title of "King of Sutras".

He has always been unable to enter the realm of Acala, but perhaps he can learn some Buddhist principles from this book.
