The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Then he added: "If you want to burn incense, please go inside."

Jiang Ning nodded, asked Maodou to wait outside, and he went into the temple.

This temple is relatively small. When I walked in, I found that the buildings inside were very old, with cracks in the corners of the walls. There were only a few Bodhi trees in the courtyard, making it look very deserted.

In addition to the nun mentioned above, there were other people in the temple, also some nuns.

But not all of them were nuns. There were also some women with long hair. These nuns or women were busy with their own affairs in the temple, chanting scriptures, or taking care of the temple environment. They were all surprised when they saw Jiang Ning.

"Did you come to the temple to burn incense?"

A middle-aged nun came over, clasped her hands together, and asked.

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded.

The middle-aged nun heard this and said, "Please follow me."

Jiang Ning was then taken to the main hall, where a statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was enshrined.

Jiang Ning was not surprised either.

Legend has it that Mount Emei is the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, so it is normal for this temple to enshrine Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"Please wash your hands, benefactor."

A nun came in with a basin of water in her hand.

It is necessary to wash your hands before burning incense.

After Jiang Ning washed his hands, the middle-aged nun asked, "How many incense sticks would you like to burn?"

"Three, please."

Jiangning Road.

There are certain rules for burning incense, which are usually divided into three, six, and nine. Three means three incense sticks, and nine means nine incense sticks.

Although there is a limit on the number of incense sticks one can burn, the more the better is not necessarily the case. Most people burn three incense sticks.

Three incense sticks represent precept, concentration and wisdom, and are for praying for oneself, six incense sticks are for praying for descendants, and nine incense sticks are for praying for three generations of descendants.

Jiang Ning is alone, so burning three incense sticks is the best thing to do.

The middle-aged nun nodded, then took out three incense sticks, lit them and handed them to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took it with both hands, with his left hand on top and his right hand on the bottom, raised it above his head and bowed, then inserted the incense sticks into the incense altar one by one, with the first incense stick in the middle and the second and third on both sides.

After doing all this, Jiang Ning worshipped the Buddha statue and then it was over.

"Donor, don't you have a wish in your heart?"

The middle-aged nun nearby was a little surprised.

Normally, mortals burn incense and worship Buddha with wishes in mind. They usually pause before holding incense and bowing, and then they make wishes in their hearts. But Jiang Ning did not pause at all just now, and his movements were done in one go, as if he just came in to burn incense.

Jiang Ning smiled when he heard this: "I don't have any wishes that need the gods and Buddhas to help me fulfill them."

"Amitabha."

The middle-aged nun chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Don't ask for the four things in front of the Buddha, and blessings will come naturally. The donor has a deep affinity with wisdom, and I admire you."

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing more.

After burning incense, Jiang Ning donated some money and left without any other action.

He came in just out of curiosity.

After leaving the temple, Jiang Ning went down the mountain directly. This trip to Sichuan took too long, so he planned to return to Huashan.

But before that, he had to go to Dujiangyan again. He wanted to see what the Green Gang was all about.

But after the incident with Cabbage, people were more cautious on Jiangning Road than before and even changed their route.

night.

After walking for four days, Jiang Ning took a temporary rest in the wild.

There were no houses within miles, nor any dilapidated temples or caves where he could temporarily stay, so he had no choice but to spend the night outside.

Jiang Ning sat by the campfire, not far away was a hillside.

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the scattered moonlight fell on the ground like a layer of silver light.

Jiang Jing sat quietly beside the campfire, feeling the inner strength in her body.

Last year, his Xiantian Gong had already entered the third stage. After more than a year of practice, his internal strength has become stronger and stronger, but he is still at this stage and there is still a long way to go before he can reach the pinnacle of the fourth stage.

Before leaving, Yue Buqun also told Jiang Ning the truth. He was still in the third stage of Xiantian Gong, but he was almost at the threshold of the fourth stage. However, Yue Buqun's progress seemed to have stagnated. No matter how he practiced, he did not make much progress, moving at a snail's pace.

When Yue Buqun practiced Xiantian Gong, he was no longer a pure yang body. The reason he was able to maintain that speed before was because he had decades of purple cloud internal energy as a foundation. Now that the foundation has been almost used up, his speed has naturally slowed down.

But Jiang Ning is different. Since entering the third stage, Jiang Ning has not felt any stagnation. His internal strength is increasing every day. It may be because he has not reached the bottleneck yet. Anyway, his training speed has not slowed down.

With Jiang Ning's current step-by-step progress, and without any adventures, according to Yue Buqun's calculations, he will reach the threshold of the fourth stage as fast as him in another year.

I don't know if it's because Jiang Ning is a virgin, or if the Xiantian Gong is really compatible with Jiang Ning, he practices Xiantian Gong without any reason at all. The Taoist idea of ​​gradual progress in internal energy does not exist at all for him, and Xiantian Gong seems to be tailor-made for him.

Even Yue Buqun was speechless at this unreasonable speed.

He had witnessed the glory of Huashan and knew that there were many geniuses in the Huashan Sect in the past, but none of them was as talented as Jiang Ning.

However, the more evil Jiang Ning becomes, the happier Yue Buqun is.

The main reason was that the Huashan Sect put too much pressure on him. The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and Yue Buqun urgently needs disciples in the Huashan Sect who can shoulder responsibilities. The current Jiang Ning has greatly relieved his pressure.

crackle~

The burning branches in the campfire made crackling sounds, and Jiang Ning prepared to lie down and rest.

Ta da~

Ta da~

The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly, and the sound of horse hooves came from the southeast.

Not long after, a group of people on horseback appeared in the night and headed straight for Jiangning.

When they got closer, they slowly stopped.

Jiang Ning looked at these people and frowned slightly.

His eyesight had been enhanced by his Xiantian Kung Fu, so even in the dark night, he could still see clearly.

There were more than twenty people in this group, among whom the leading men were obviously masters of martial arts, and the people behind them were also experts.

These people held lanterns and rode on their horses, looking at Jiang Ning. None of them spoke and the atmosphere was depressing.

"May I ask if you are Jiang Ning from the Huashan Sect?"

The big man at the front asked in a loud and clear voice.

Chapter 135: Night Battle

Chapter 135: Night Battle

Ok?

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes when he heard this, this was directed at him.

"it's me."

Jiang Ning admitted it directly.

It doesn't make sense to admit it or not in this situation. The people on the opposite sides are all covered in blood and are obviously not people who can be easily dealt with.

"Oh?"

A man raised the lantern in his hand and shone it forward, then laughed and said, "You are indeed young, heroes emerge young, hahahaha"

The others also burst into laughter. Their deep voices could be heard from far away. It was obvious that they all had strong internal strength and were all experts.

Seeing these people's attitude and tone, Jiang Ning knew that they had no good intentions.

These people did not tell him the purpose of their visit, but Jiang Ning already knew in his heart that these people were probably sent by Ren Yingying.

"Boy."

One of the men squeezed his legs and stepped forward to speak to Jiang Ning.

"I think you're pretty good, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Someone appreciates you and wants you to join my religion. Do you want to join?"

There is only one sect in the martial arts world that claims to be a divine sect, and that is the Sun and Moon Sect.

Sure enough.

Hearing what this man said, Jiang Ning's thoughts were confirmed.

Jiang Ning laughed: "Let me join the Demon Cult? Wait until all the members of your Demon Cult are dead."

When everyone heard this, they started to move around, as if they were very dissatisfied with Jiang Ning's words.

One of them said viciously: "I don't know how many people want to join my religion but are not qualified. Now I am merciful and give you the qualification to join. Don't be ungrateful."

Jiang Ning sneered twice and did not answer, but patted Maodou beside him.

"Find a place to hide."

Maodou was very human-like and immediately ran away and hid.

When everyone saw him like this, they all looked surprised.

Among them, there were eight first-rate ones, and the rest were all second-rate players. None of them were weak. After seeing them, the young man in front of him not only did not run away, but also made such a move, obviously preparing to go to war with them.

"So brave."

The leading man had an admiring look in his eyes and said loudly, "To be noticed by that person, you are indeed not an ordinary person. Your courage alone exceeds that of most people in the world."

"Why would a heroic young man like you stay in Huashan Sect? Why not join our Divine Sect? Our Divine Sect rules the martial arts world and exerts pressure on the world. If you agree to join, someone will personally support you. You will definitely rise rapidly in our Divine Sect and have a promising future. Isn't that good? Isn't it better than being an ordinary disciple in a small Huashan Sect?"

Jiang Ning stopped talking. He had nothing to say to the people from the Demon Cult.

His hand rested lightly on the hilt of the sword.
