"Third Master, the abbot should actually ask you if you want to become a monk. Your Buddha nature..."

Captain Sun was just sighing, but Fang Xiwen suddenly got anxious and almost jumped up: "You are the Buddha. You don't have to speak if you don't know how to speak!"

Being tortured by Fang Qingxiao every day and unable to do anything, he was really afraid that he no longer had those worldly desires, and he felt quite stressed.

"Haha, alright, alright." Jiang Xizhi was the happiest of the three people when he saw the progress in the case. He hurriedly separated the two and said with a smile, "What Xiwen said should be right. But the problem is, how can we find what Master Xuanku has?"

"Well, I'm afraid the key lies in the words in the Heart Sutra, 'neither increasing nor decreasing, neither arising nor extinguishing, neither defiled nor pure'. This may be a hint at the hidden place."

After saying this, he threatened Captain Sun viciously, took out his official seal and shook it two or three times, telling him never to mention words like "Buddha nature" again.

"This, this is a bit wrong. According to the Heart Sutra, it is not an entity, how can it hide things?" Captain Sun, who was bullied in the workplace because of saying the wrong thing, lowered his voice.

"Maybe it's understood literally. For example, something that is constant and immovable, or something that won't change easily—" Jiang Xizhi's eyes lit up, "Jiang Xin!"

When practicing Lan Cang Tie, he didn't know how long he had been looking at the river water, learning its shape and observing its meaning. Now the first thing he thought of was related things.

"There are so many rivers nearby, Yuexi, Qushui, Liuhua... which one should you choose?" Captain Sun seemed pessimistic.

"That's impossible," Fang Xiwen rejected it directly, rolled his eyes, and said like someone else, "I don't think Master Xuan Ku is that boring."

Hearing this, Jiang Xizhi secretly clenched his fists and said nothing.

The three discussed for a while, but due to different ideas and too many disagreements, they simply split up into three groups to look for it.

Captain Sun went to ask the constables from the Six Gates for help, and the remaining two people went according to their own ideas.

As a result, I searched from morning to afternoon but found nothing.

Fang Xiwen was fine. He thought that given Master Xuan Ku's personality, he might be interested in "long-lasting" things like mountains, rivers, and humanities. He searched for several ancient sites and ate some delicious food along the way.

As for Captain Sun, he went to look for a family with a long history in Baihua Village. There were four generations living together, and their roots could be traced back hundreds of years. Although he had little interaction with the master, it was not too tiring.

Jiang Xizhi was in a bad situation. He was so angry at Fang's words that he dived into five or six rivers and plucked all the seaweeds at the bottom, but he couldn't find even a hair.

When night fell, the three of them washed up and had their meals, and then got together again.

After hearing what happened to Jiang Xizhi, the remaining two pointed at him and laughed wildly, without mercy.

"Xizhi, Xizhi, how could you be so stupid! If you could find it, it would be strange. Do you think the master would specially carve a stone tablet to suppress the thing at the bottom of the river?"

"Master Xuanku has already perfected the Ananda Finger, so don't be too harsh." Jiang Xizhi changed into a clean brocade robe. His hair was still wet at this time. Hearing this, he said with a forced smile.

"Well, haha, Young Master Canglang still has some ideas, that's good." Captain Sun did not hold back, but because they were not very familiar with each other, he did not dare to laugh too loudly.

After laughing for a while, the three of them turned the topic back to business.

Fang Xiwen looked at Captain Sun and said, "Have you told Zhenrong and his gang about this theory? He has gathered a group of young experts, don't you have any ideas?"

"That's what they said. They are all very excited, hoping that we can find the monsters so that they can hone their skills. They say that their swords are still sharp and their blood is still hot. Tsk tsk."

"Is there no one useful?"

"Oh, there was a young man named Ye who said that we should not be limited by superficial appearances, and perhaps the answer lies in the most obvious place. I thought he was talking nonsense." Old Sun shrugged.

Hearing this, Jiang Xizhi became interested and said thoughtfully: "The most obvious point...Xiwen, there is some truth in what you said. I think I have some ideas."

"Hey, who doesn't know how to play Jifeng... Wait," as if a flash of lightning had struck him, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and Fang Xiwen couldn't help but widen his eyes: "I know!"

"Hurry up and tell me what new ideas you have?" Jiang Xizhi just urged, and the next moment his sleeve was pulled away.

Fang Xiwen led the two of them and ran wildly, heading straight for the Qiling Temple on the mountain, saying in a sad and angry tone: "I know where it is hidden, Master Xuan Ku, you are really boring!"

...

...

Qiling Temple, the Sutra Repository behind the main hall.

The three of them rushed here and found that the door was locked. They couldn't go to the abbot to apply for permission in the middle of the night, so they acted as a detour and asked Fang Xiwen to act as a guarantor. The other two people witnessed and they worked together to tear down the door.

With a loud bang, the vermilion gate collapsed, splashing up a large cloud of dust.

Without waiting for them to disperse, the three of them rushed in and started searching separately.

Fang Xiwen rushed to the bookshelf on one side and said quickly: "If it is a paper thing like a list or a letter, it is very likely hidden inside the Heart Sutra!

That paragraph might even be a page count reminder!"

"Damn it, it's really dark under the lamp!" Captain Sun lowered his head to search, feeling quite emotional.

"Master Xuan Ku is really boring..." Jiang Xizhi had nothing to say. He felt that it would be better to use Ananda's finger to carve a stone tablet and then sink it in the middle of the river instead of hiding here.

At least it won't be burned down.

Because everything was made of paper, the three of them didn't dare to light torches. Fortunately, Fang Xiwen was wealthy, so he took out a luminous stone and threw it on the ground, illuminating the surroundings.

In addition, he and Jiang Xizhi both had four eyes, and Captain Sun had also just opened his eyes, so there was not much difference from daytime.

The three of them quickly searched through several bookshelves, but found nothing, and each of them became a little anxious.

"That shouldn't be the case. This conjecture is the most clear-cut one. We can't just keep running around aimlessly like we did during the day..."

Just as Fang Xiwen was thinking, a surprised voice suddenly came: "Xiwen, Captain Sun, I found it!"

Hearing this, the two of them immediately turned around and rushed over quickly. Fang Xiwen took the Heart Sutra in his hand and quickly flipped through it. Sure enough, he found a letter inside!

It’s really intelligence!

He held the envelope, exchanged glances with the other two people, but took no further action.

"What's wrong?"

"I was wondering, Master Xuan Ku obviously had the information, why didn't he pass it on, but kept it to himself?"

"Maybe he is being monitored by someone." Captain Sun gradually reacted, his eyes serious.

"Yes," Fang Xiwen put the envelope into his arms and pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand. "Then we can still find information now, which means the monitor did not succeed. If I am him--"

choke!

His words were suddenly interrupted, and the scarlet sword was unsheathed, drawing a line of fire straight up!

There was a loud collision, and Fang Xiwen stepped back several steps. A black shadow flew in the opposite direction, with long hair on its body illuminated by the night pearl.

He swung his arms and grinned at the shadow: "Just sit back and wait, right?"

Chapter 155 Seeking Death

Fang Xiwen took the initiative to force the shadow on the beam out. In just two or three breaths, in a flash, the remaining two people had reacted and looked intently -

That's a bear.

To be more precise, it should be a bear demon. It stood up like a human, not very tall, with its skin completely covered in black hair, and muscles like blocks visible on its chest, and its small black pearl-like eyes were mixed with bloodshot.

Judging from the blow he just used, the power is roughly equal to that of the six orifices of a human, and he is also a master who mainly practices physical exercises.

Without hesitation, Captain Sun rushed out of the palace gate and fled. With his strength, he would only be a hindrance here, so it would be better to go and get reinforcements.

The bear demon did not chase after him, but just stared at Fang Xiwen - his faith was in him.

Seeing this, Jiang Xizhi did not hesitate and directly drew out his long sword that shone like water, and stood on his left and right, forming a horn with him. The two men and the bear were facing each other.

"With your level of cultivation, how did you kill Master Xuan Ku?" Fang Xiwen held the sword across his chest with a vigilant look in his eyes, "That was Baqiao from Shaolin Temple!"

"Want to know?" The bear monster's furry mouth not only spoke human language, but also gave a weird smile: "I'll tell you now!"

Before he could finish his words, the bear monster pounced towards him.

Although his body was slow, his hands moved swiftly. His two giant palms raised a scarlet hurricane and slapped the two people from the left and right at a tricky angle!

"This is the blood-killing skill that has been fused with demonic energy..."

Fang Xiwen, who was a "potential candidate for the leader of the Blood Robe Cult", saw through the moves at a glance, dodged to the side, and easily broke free from the lock, and a fire dragon hit the bear monster's waist heavily!

puff!

It was clearly a solid strike by the sword, but there was a dull sound like cloth being torn - the bear demon was covered in wounds, and only a little bit of its hair was burnt black, and not even blood could be seen!

On the other side, Jiang Xizhi took the attack with both defense and attack, and used the "All Streams Return to the Origin" move. The bear monster grinned and just stood there to take it, only losing some hair.

"Is that all you can do?"

"Damn, a tanky Berserker, eh..." Fang Xiwen cursed inwardly, and after a little thought, he came up with an idea.

After he and Jiang Xizhi worked together to break down a few moves, he said something in secret. The latter understood and, taking advantage of the continuous nature of Lan Cang's sword intent, launched a powerful counterattack, leaving the bear monster wide open.

"Okay, it's time to take my sword!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he leaped up, pointed his toes in the air, and slammed the sword down heavily, like a huge mountain pressing down and hitting the bear monster's head.

Emperor's Sword Technique: A dragon strides across thousands of peaks and lies in all directions!

Under the combined force of gravity and double internal energy, the bear demon felt his head had been shaken into a paste and was about to split apart.

"The Zhen character technique...Xiwen, you are amazing!" Jiang Xizhi recovered from the counterattack and praised.

He landed gracefully, nodded, and flew up again, "This beast is now unconscious, you and I will use all our strength to take it down!"

Without hesitation, Fang Xiwen selected "Cloud Peak" from the two exterior sword moves, lowered his wrist, pointed the sword upwards, and was ready to go -

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, the bear demon roared wildly.

I don't know if it was due to the activation of a secret technique or bloodline ability, but its body suddenly grew a whole circle larger, and blood light lingered all around it, with its eyeballs instantly filled with bloodshot!

This was a direct abandonment of reason, with the Blood Evil Technique pushed to its limit with all of its strength, causing its aura to surge.

“Xizhi, don’t fight hard!” He thought that the bear had exploded into the second stage, so he immediately retracted his sword moves and rushed out, “Escape from the Sutra Library, quickly!”

However, before he could finish his words, the bear demon's palm came down from several meters away, smashing the door of the Sutra Library and causing it to collapse!

Fang Xiwen paused and reunited with his friend, and they took care of each other on the left and right.

"Xiwen, be careful. This beast's bloodline ability is very compatible with the Blood Evil Technique." Jiang Xizhi also looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, holding his sword high. "After activating the secret technique, I'm afraid his combat power will be no less than that of an ordinary Nine Apertures."

"So what?" Fang Xiwen took out the Lihuo Formation Plate. Seeing that there was no way out, his eyes became fierce. "When he entered this state, his sanity must have been damaged. He only had brute force!

"With the combined efforts of you and me, how can we not take down this beast!"

Following his order, the two men quickly dispersed, each of them drawing an arc and circling from both sides. Their movements were agile, and pillars of fire then rose up, covering their figures.

"Two bastards!!"

The bear demon roared wildly, and his palms swelled in size. He clapped his hands violently, and violent demonic energy rose up, which not only extinguished the flames, but also caused the two men's figures to stagnate at the same time.
