Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The Grand Masters were too high and mighty, like elusive dragons. Even though they were high monks in the holy lands of the martial arts world, they were rarely seen in the past.

How come their Jingnian Zen Temple suddenly provoked a great master?

"Abbot, what do you think we should do about this?"

The divine monk Liaowu in the Zen temple had a solemn expression on his face. He was the junior fellow of the abbot Liaokong, and his status was even higher than that of the four Dharma protectors. Even he felt it was difficult at the moment.

Abbot Liaokong lowered his brows, looking compassionate, and raised his hand to start writing on the rice paper on the table.

He has been practicing silent meditation for decades and has always communicated with people in this way.

A line of handwriting caught the monks' eyes.

"Our Buddha is merciful. In this mortal world, there is no one who cannot be saved. However, the Buddha also possesses the Wrathful Vajra. If he encounters someone who cannot be saved, he may have to transform into the Wrathful Vajra and use his power to subdue the demon!"

As soon as this line of text appeared, the Divine Monk Liao Wu was the first to react. He exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Abbot, have you broken through to the Grandmaster level?"

Liaokong looked calm, but he could not hide the joy between his brows. He nodded slightly and continued to write on the rice paper.

"Although this is the case, in order to ensure the best possible outcome, I hope that all of you will set off now and invite the Four Great Saints to come to the Zen temple to protect the Dharma and safeguard our Buddhist sect's thousand-year foundation!"

…………

happy New Year to all!

Chapter 457: Cihang Jingzhai

In the territory of Tangzhou, when it comes to the forces in the martial arts world, Buddhism is the strongest, followed by the Demonic Sect. As for Taoism, its presence is extremely low.

In Buddhism, Jingnian Zen Temple and Cihang Jingzhai are the most respected. In addition, there are four major sects in Buddhism, and the leaders of these four sects are respected as holy monks.

Jiaxiang of the Three Treatises School, Daoxuan of the Zen School, Zhihui of the Tiantai School, and Dixin Zunzhe of the Huayan School are the four great monks of the Tangzhou martial arts world. It is rumored that when the four great monks join forces, even the great masters will be afraid of them, and the evil king Shi Zhixuan will have to flee in panic.

When the four of them join forces, their fighting power is comparable to that of a grandmaster!

As the abbot of Jingnian Zen Temple, especially after his recent promotion to the Grand Master level, Liaokong has his own pride, but even so, he still gives the highest level of attention to the stranger Qingyunzi.

Before Qingyunzi arrived, Jingnian Zen Temple had already started to recruit people.

Not only that, in addition to the four great holy monks, Liaokong continued to issue orders on the rice paper.

"Junior Brother Liaowu, you should personally go to Cihang Jingzhai, pay your respects to the Master Fanzhai, and inform her of the matter concerning the evil Qingyunzi, and ask her to provide timely assistance.

If necessary, please ask her to contact the independent Ning Daoqi!"

Liao Wu's face changed when he saw this. He could understand contacting the four great holy monks, but even Cihang Jingzhai was alarmed, and they even had to use Ning Daoqi's favor. Should he take it so seriously?

"Brother Abbot, aren't we being a little too nervous? With your strength, plus the four great monks, and the dozens of masters within our Zen temple, we can easily handle even one more, let alone Qing Yunzi!

If such a big fight gets out, it will show that our Zen temple lacks confidence and damage the prestige of our martial arts holy land."

Liao Kong shook his head in silence and continued writing, "The evil Qing Yunzi has killed countless people since he appeared in the martial arts world. If we cannot defeat this demon this time, I am afraid that he will harm the martial arts world and cause endless troubles.

This is your only chance, so don't underestimate it!"

The abbot had already made up his mind, so Liao Wu no longer insisted. After chanting the Buddha's name, he left the Zen temple.

Upon seeing this, the monks dispersed with solemn expressions and began to prepare for the upcoming battle. The person they were going to face next was most likely a great master, and it would be a lie to say that they were not nervous.

......

Cihang Jingzhai is located on the Dita Peak.

As for where Emperor Ta Peak is located, few people in the martial arts world know it. They only know that it is hidden among the mountains.

Compared with Jingnian Zen Temple, Cihang Jingzhai is located in an extremely secretive place, and people cannot find the way there even if they want to.

People who don't know the reason will only think that this sect is extremely high-end. Only those who are in the know understand that the reason why Cihang Jingzhai's location is secret is not only to show its transcendental status, but also because they are worried about being sought for revenge.

There is no way. Since Cihang Jingzhai established its own sect, there have been more than one or two martial arts masters who have been destroyed by them by feeding the demons with their own bodies.

From the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian hundreds of years ago to the Evil King Shi Zhixuan today, they are all masterpieces of Cihang Jingzhai.

Even the Heavenly Sword Song Que and the Master Fan Qinghui had personally tried to do it. Unfortunately, Song Que was a man of extremely strong mind, and nothing else mattered to him except his sword. After realizing Fan Qinghui's intention, he married an ugly woman and severed the ties between him and Fan Qinghui.

It can be said that this is a rare record of failure for Cihang Jingzhai.

On the Emperor Peak, there is a stone tablet with the words "My home is in this mountain, deep in the clouds, I don't know where it is" engraved on both sides of the mountain road. Behind the stone tablet are seven wooden doors called "Seven-Layered Gates" with lotus patterns on them, and the last one is a maroon main gate.

Liao Wu stood in front of the seven-layer gate with a look of disapproval on his face.

Although they belong to the same Buddhist sect and are closely related to Jingnian Zen Temple and Cihang Jingzhai, Liaowu is not very fond of the Buddhist power created by this group of women.

The purpose of Jingnian Zen Temple is to enlighten all people with Buddhism, but Cihang Jingzhai is not very interested in promoting Buddhism. Instead, it is more concerned about the general situation in the world. It likes to play the trick of feeding the devil with one's own body and relying on women to win over various powerful people.

In Liaowu's opinion, Jingnian Zen Temple has gone astray and lost the true meaning of Buddhism.

At this moment, in Luo Wu's view, the so-called seven-layer gate is nothing more than a chastity arch, which is really ridiculous.

He sneered in his heart, but his expression did not show it. He looked serious and solemn, standing at the door and chanting the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha!"

As the Buddhist chanting sounded, a very beautiful nun soon came from the air. After seeing Wu, she immediately flew down and chanted a Buddhist salute to him.

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Liao Wu, please come in!"

"Excuse me, Junior Sister!"

Liao Wu smiled and glanced at the beautiful nun. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had great cultivation and was a martial arts master.

Cihang Jingzhai is extremely strict about accepting disciples. It will not accept any non-female disciples, any non-female disciples with extremely high martial arts talents, or any non-female disciples with extremely beautiful looks.

Although he looked down on Cihang Jingzhai's behavior, he had to admit that Jingzhai was ranked as one of the holy places in the martial arts world, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Especially the master Fan Qinghui, who is not only powerful, but also has an unclear relationship with the wanderer Ning Daoqi.

Therefore, in the relationship between Jingnian Zen Temple and Cihang Jingzhai, Cihang Jingzhai has always been firmly superior to Jingnian Zen Temple.

Liao Wu took a deep breath and thought to himself that this situation would change in the future.

Senior Brother Liaokong has been promoted to Grandmaster. As long as there is the next battle at Jingnian Zen Temple, Senior Brother Liaokong and the four great monks can subdue the evil Qingyunzi. The reputation of the Zen temple will surely overwhelm the entire Tangzhou and become the true number one holy place!

Beyond the seven gates is a large square. Behind the square is the main hall, Cihang Hall. Not far from the hall, in the jungle, there is a tower containing various martial arts secrets. There is also a rain-viewing pavilion in the back mountain.

Liao Wu took a quick look and found that this place could not compare with Jingnian Zen Temple in terms of grandeur, but in terms of elegance and refinement, this place was better.

“It’s a great place to escape from the world!”

Liao Wu praised with his mouth, but sneered in his heart, "But it's a pity that the people here all have a worldly heart!"

Following the beautiful nun, Le Wu came to Cihang Hall. Several beautiful women had already gathered in the hall made of white jade. The host Fan Qinghui was standing in the first place. When she saw Le Wu coming, she immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Brother, you haven't been here for many years. What urgent matter has brought you here today?"

The one who came was Liaowu, not Liaokong. As the host of the holy land Cihang Jingzhai, it was completely sufficient for Fan Qinghui to come out in person to welcome him, so she didn't even say hello and directly asked about the purpose of his visit.

Although the condescending attitude is not obvious, it is expressed implicitly.

Liao Wu didn't bother to waste time talking and immediately stated his purpose. "This time, I'm here on the orders of the abbot to ask the vegetarian host to come out of seclusion and join the monks of the Zen temple to subdue demons and monsters!"

Chapter 458 If you lose this battle, you will have no choice but to feed the demon!

"Oh?"

Fan Qinghui was a little surprised and exchanged glances with the fellow junior sisters beside her.

As one of the holy places in the martial arts world, although there is no grand master in charge of the Jingnian Zen Temple, it has hundreds of years of heritage. Not to mention the abbot Liaokong, the four Dharma protectors of the Zen Temple are all top-level masters among the martial arts masters.

Dozens of veteran masters cooperated with Buddhist formations and various Buddhist teachings to bless them. Even if a great master went there, he might not be able to gain any benefits.

It has been many years since Jingnian Zen Temple came to Cihang Jingzhai to seek help.

"Is the Zen temple in trouble?"

Fan Qinghui showed a curious look, "I met Senior Brother Lekong several years ago, and I sensed at that time that he was already forging his soul. A few years have passed, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should have already entered the ranks of Grand Masters.

With Senior Brother Liaokong's cultivation and the Zen Temple's background, even if the Evil King Shi Zhixuan doesn't die, he will be seriously injured. What evil demons and crooked ways can we deal with that require the Zen Temple and my Jingzhai to join forces?"

There was a slight pause in his tone, and Fan Qinghui's face looked a little unhappy. He seemed to have thought of something and asked nervously, "Could it be that there has been some big movement in the Zen temple recently, and the Imperial Capital's Xuanyi Guards have been targeting it?"

As a holy land of martial arts, the demon sect in Tangzhou has always been suppressed by the Jingnian Zen Temple and Cihang Jingzhai. Not to mention Tangzhou, even in other provinces, the disciples of the holy land can basically walk sideways.

The only ones you need to be wary of are the ruthless guys at the Xuanyiwei headquarters in the imperial capital.

In the past twenty years, the first-class Xuanyi Guards from the imperial capital have rarely been seen outside and their presence has not been strong, so there has been a peaceful state between the Wulin Holy Land and the Xuanyi Guards.

But even so, as the lord of the holy land, Fan Qinghui still maintained the necessary vigilance against the Imperial Capital's Xuanyi Guards.

At this moment, Liao Wu suddenly came to visit and proposed that the two families join forces, leaving Fan Qinghui no time to think.

If they wanted to join forces to deal with other martial arts forces in the world, or if there were some short-sighted aristocratic families that needed to be dealt with, Cihang Jingzhai wouldn't mind sending a few masters to travel the world and gain fame.

But if you want to fight the Xuanyi Guards head-on, I'm sorry, Cihang Jingzhai is an outsider force that has always been free and easy and never gets involved in court disputes.

After all, Cihang Jingzhai's most skilled skill is to serve the devil with one's own body, and this trick has no effect on those tough guys in Xuanyiwei.

"Master, you are joking!"

Liao Wu clasped his hands together and said with a faint smile, "Although the Xuanyi Guards have the responsibility to supervise the martial arts world, our Zen Temple has always been compassionate and has never oppressed the people. How could we provoke the hostility of the Xuanyi Guards for no reason?

The main reason I was ordered to come here this time is to deal with a newly emerged great demon in the martial arts world!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Fan Qinghui was stunned. "Could it be that Shi Zhixuan's mental problems have recovered?"

"It's not Shi Zhixuan, but a Taoist master, whose Taoist name is Qingyunzi!"

Liao Wu simply explained what he knew, and then said seriously: "Although this demon Taoist claims to be a Taoist, his origins are strange, and his methods of action are even more ruthless than those of the Demon Sect.

Although Senior Brother Liaokong has broken through to the Grandmaster level, the breakthrough has only been happening recently, so I can't say that I'm completely confident.

For this reason, Senior Brother has specially sent someone to invite the Four Great Saints to the Zen Temple to assist. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I hope Master Fanzhai can also provide some help!"

"And you invited the Four Great Saints?"

When Fan Qinghui heard that the people they were going to deal with were from the martial arts world, he felt relieved, especially when he learned that the four great monks would also appear. The originally distant smile on his face became much warmer.

"Jingnian Zen Temple and my Cihang Jingzhai are of the same origin. Since we are here to exorcise demons and eliminate the evil that harms the martial arts world, Cihang Jingzhai has no choice but to accept it.

I also ask my senior brother to go back and tell Abbot Kong that all the people from Cihang Jingzhai will be here on the night of the full moon!

Not only that, Qing Yunzi is killing people wantonly under the banner of Taoism. This matter must be taken seriously. Qing Hui will send a letter to inform Ning Sanren. If necessary, Sanren may personally come forward to clean up the scum of Taoism! "

"Amitabha! Master, you are so merciful. I thank you on behalf of all the people in the world!"

Liao Wu got the answer he wanted, and he was not stingy. After flattering the man a few times, he left with satisfaction.

As soon as he left, the several beautiful nuns following Fan Qinghui frowned one by one.

"Senior Sister, with Jingnian Zen Temple causing such a big commotion, I'm sure Qingyunzi must be a Grandmaster. Although Jingzhai is a sacred place in the martial arts world, we haven't had a Grandmaster promoted in the past hundred years. Isn't it a bit too risky to rashly get involved in a Grandmaster dispute?"

"Yes, the battle between Grandmasters is extremely dangerous. Even though we are veteran Grandmasters, we could perish in the battle if we are not careful. It is indeed too risky!"

"According to Liao Wu, Qing Yunzi is a true demon. He can't do anything to Luo Kong, but it will be much easier for him to deal with us. If he escapes, it will definitely cause endless trouble!"

Seeing several of her junior sisters looking worried, Fan Qinghui snorted in displeasure.

"Do you think, Junior Sisters, that cultivation doesn't require consuming resources?"

She glanced at them coldly, "From recruiting a disciple to training him into a martial arts master, the resources required to train just one disciple are enough to bankrupt an ordinary family!

My Cihang Jingzhai does not engage in production and does not have any industry. The various resources we need basically come from the tributes of local families and even clans!

You don't fight or compete, you don't step out when things go wrong, and you just want to hide in the mountains and seek peace. Why should those aristocratic families pay tribute to you?"

Several nuns fell silent upon hearing this.

They are used to practicing hard in the mountains all year round, and they don't have to worry about things in the quiet room. Over time, they really develop a free and easy mentality that is detached from the world.

When Fan Qinghui said this, they finally remembered where this so-called martial arts holy land came from.

Without the support from local forces, we can't let a group of beautiful women like these show up in public to get resources, right?

Money is easy to deal with, but once you reach the innate realm, many cultivation resources cannot be bought with money at all.

Some medicinal materials needed for body building or alchemy are really difficult to obtain without years of searching by aristocratic families.

Seeing that they were silent, Fan Qinghui made the decision directly, "Everyone go back and prepare, and in a few days, follow me to Jingnian Zen Temple to cheer us on.

This battle will definitely shock the entire martial arts world. As a sacred place in the martial arts world, how could our Cihang Jingzhai be absent from such a grand event? "

After hearing this, several women dispersed one after another. Before leaving, one of them asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister, if, if this battle fails and Qing Yunzi escapes, how should our Cihang Jingzhai respond?

Although Mr. Ning has a long history with my Jingzhai, it's impossible for him to stay in charge of Emperor Stepping Peak forever, right?"
