Shen Luo's eyes were fixed, and he was about to do something, but it was already too late, and a yellow light flashed around Chan'er.

And Chan'er's figure in the light array also disappeared in a flash, leaving only a little yellow afterglow, which soon drifted away.

"Is this an earth escape magic circle? Didn't expect Master Jiang Liu to know magic?" Shen Luo murmured with surprise on his face.

"Damn it, the secret we inquired about Master Jiang Liu was discovered. He probably hates us more and more, and it will be more difficult to invite him to Chang'an." Lu Huaming said with a little panic, frowning.

"Things have come to this, it's useless to think too much, let's take a step and look at it, let's find a place to rest first, and come back at night." Shen Luo sound transmission comforted, and walked down the mountain.

Lu Huaming sighed and followed.

The two found a quiet place on the mountainside to rest with their eyes closed, and night fell quickly.

The two didn't leave immediately, they opened their eyes when it was almost three o'clock, and headed towards Jinshan Temple, and soon came to the back gate of Jinshan Temple.

Seen from here, the Jinshan Temple was pitch black and empty, apparently all the monks in the temple had already gone to bed.

Even so, the two didn't dare to be careless, each cast a spell to conceal their aura, and quietly climbed over the wall and entered the temple.

"Have you found out where Zen Master Haishi lives?" Lu Huaming asked via voice transmission.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter, I have already let the Gu worm remember his smell, and I just searched for it all the way." Shen Luo flipped his hands and took out the Shadow Gu.

As soon as the Shadow Gu came out, he sniffed the air with his nose, and immediately flew forward.

The two immediately followed, followed closely behind.

Both Shen Luo and Lu Huaming's cultivation had reached the out-of-body stage, and they were considered masters in the world of cultivating immortals. Although there were restrictions in the temple, the two easily avoided the past without attracting the attention of everyone in the temple. place.

"Stop!" Lu Huaming raised his hand to hold Shen Luo.

"What's wrong?" Shen Luo stopped the Shadow Gu and asked through sound transmission.

"Someone has placed a large-scale restriction ahead, and it's very subtle, so we can't go any further." Lu Huaming's eyes were faintly white, as if he was performing a pupil technique, and he said in a deep voice.

Shen Luo heard the words, poured mana into his eyes, and looked forward, but saw nothing.

"You can't see it when you look at it like this. This restriction is very hidden. The people who set up the formation have extremely high levels of cultivation. Observe through it." Lu Huaming took out a white crystal ball and handed it to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo picked it up with a raised brow, poured mana into the bead, then put it in front of his eyes, looked forward through the bead, his complexion changed quickly.

Observing through the beads, there are many small formations in the void in front of you that you couldn't see before, and there are many white light spots flashing in them, like countless stars in the night sky.

"According to Shadow Gu's tracking, Zen Master Hai Shi is still ahead, could it be that I guessed wrong?" Shen Luo murmured.

At this moment, a little fire suddenly lit up in a small dark courtyard next to the two, which was very conspicuous in the dark night.

Both Shen Luo and Lu Huaming's expressions changed, and they immediately dodged to hide in a hiding place.

But the Shadow Gu suddenly let out a clear cry, and shot towards the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, Shen Luo's heart moved. After hesitating for a moment, he quietly spread his spiritual consciousness towards the lit courtyard, his complexion relaxed quickly, and he walked out of the hiding place.

"Brother Lu, there's no need to hide, it's here." He greeted Lu Huaming, entered the courtyard, and entered the lighted room.

This place is a simple house, the walls have long been mottled and peeled off, and there is no decoration in the house, only a bed covered with dry thatch in the corner, on which Zen Master Hai Shi is sitting.

Although Shen Luo could see the simplicity of the place from the outside, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Lu Huaming saw Shen Luo's actions, and after sweeping his consciousness, he followed in with confidence.

"The two benefactors came here late at night, what is the purpose?" Chan Master Hai Shi asked, looking at the two.

"Zhan Master Hai Shi, you invite me during the day, how dare I not come." Shen Luo saluted.

"Oh, why did the old monk invite the benefactor?" Zen Master Hai Shi said without moving.

"During the day, I asked Zen Master when fate would come. Zen Master, you coughed three times and turned your hands behind your back. Didn't you mean that you and I came here through the back door in the middle of the night?" Shen Luo said.

"The benefactor is indeed a person with wisdom roots." Zen Master Hai Shi looked at Shen Luo for a moment, and a smile appeared on his dry face like old bark.

"Hui Gen doesn't dare to be the one. The two of us came here rashly tonight and wanted to ask the host for advice. Master Jiang Liu seems to be extremely repulsive about going to Chang'an to host the Water and Land Conference. I don't know why." Shen Luo said solemnly after saluting deeply.

Zen Master Hai Shi's wrinkled face moved for a moment, and he was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

"This matter is related to the lives of thousands of people in Chang'an. Please give me some advice from the presiding master." Seeing that Zen Master Hai Shi was silent, Lu Huaming couldn't help but said anxiously in his heart.

"Amitabha, this matter is not urgent. The night will be long. If the two benefactors have nothing important to do, can you listen to the old monk tell me about the past of Jinshan Temple?" Chan Master Hai Shi sighed and said slowly.

"Since the master has this leisure, Shen should listen attentively." Shen Luo looked at Zen Master Hai Shi's calm eyes, and sat down on the stool next to him.

Lu Huaming was anxious and didn't have the time to listen to the past, but seeing Shen Luoluo sitting down, he had no choice but to sit down too.

Zen Master Hai Shi said in a nostalgic tone: "My Jinshan Temple was built in the previous dynasty, and it was quite prosperous at first. Later, the world was impermanent. The Taizu of this dynasty opened up territories, and the entire land of China was shrouded in flames of war, and this temple was also affected. It was almost destroyed. Although it was barely rebuilt afterwards, it has declined and lost its former glory. It even attracted foreign enemies to rob it because the patriarch left a few books on exercises. Most of the monks in the temple fled, only a few had nowhere to go The old monk stayed here, lingering on his last breath, and it was not until more than a hundred years ago that there was a glimmer of hope."

Chapter 0629

"More than a hundred years ago, a wandering monk with a high level of practice settled in this temple. That night, the Buddhist temple suddenly showed a golden glow, which lasted until midnight. The monk told the old monk in the temple that there is a Buddha in Jinshan Temple. He is an earth-shattering and eminent monk, so he decided to stay here. The old monks in the temple naturally welcomed him, so that monk stayed in the temple and entered my Jinshan Temple's generation, changing his name to Faming." Chan Master Hai Shi continued.

"Elder Faming!" Shen Luo's eyes moved, Lu Huaming had told him about this person before, so it turned out that this person came from such a background.

"Patriarch Faming's practice is profound. After entering the temple, the original old abbot quickly gave up the presiding position to him. After Elder Faming came to power, he vigorously supported his fellow disciples and passed on his practiced Dharma to everyone. Resurrection. Patriarch Faming has the virtue of rebuilding in this temple, and everyone in the temple admires him, but his old man does not accept disciples, saying that he has no chance, which makes many people in the temple quite disappointed. One day he was playing the piano at the foot of the mountain, when he suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying. A wooden basin drifted from the river below the mountain, and there was a baby and a blood book in the basin. The patriarch rescued him ashore, and only after seeing the blood book did he know its origin. He is the posthumous son of Chen Guangrui, the number one scholar in Liuzhou, so he took the baby name Jiang Liu'er, brought him up, and accepted him as a disciple." Zen Master Hai Shi said.

"This person must be Master Xuanzang." After listening for a long time, Lu Huaming gradually became more focused and no longer anxious, said.

Shen Luo suddenly realized that Master Xuanzang's name had already been spread all over the world, but he only knew about Master Xuanzang's acquisition of the Western Scriptures, but he didn't know much about its origin, so it turned out to be such a background.

"That's right, as Elder Faming said in his early years, Master Xuanzang later entered Chang'an and was named a royal brother by Emperor Taizong. After that, he went to the West Paradise without fear of hardships and dangers. After 72 hardships, he retrieved the scriptures. My Jinshan Temple is famous all over the world. , Only then have the reputation today." Zen Master Hai Shi glanced at Lu Huaming, nodded, and then continued.

"Chan Master Hai Shi, I take the liberty to interrupt. Based on the time Master Xuanzang went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, you should have met Zen Master Hai Shi, right?" Shen Luo interrupted suddenly.

"When I entered the temple, Master Xuanzang had already gone to the west to learn scriptures, but when he returned to Jinshan Temple, I had a relationship with him. Master Xuanzang once told the monks in the temple some stories about going to Lingshan in the west. Experience, the story of learning scriptures from the west is spread from Jinshan Temple." Zen Master Hai Shi glanced at Shen Luo and nodded.

"Did Master Xuanzang mention a woman with a plum blossom mark on her wrist and a monk from the Western Regions when he told about his experience of learning Buddhist scriptures?" Shen Luo immediately asked again.

"The woman with the plum blossom mark on her wrist? Master Xuanzang is a Buddhist, and he rarely mentioned the women on the Western Heaven Road. As for the many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, Master Xuanzang mentioned some monks who met on the road. I don't know which one the benefactor is talking about." A monk?" Zen Master Hai Shi asked with a look of surprise on his face.

Lu Huaming was also surprised by Shen Luo's sudden question, and looked at Shen Luo.

"This person should have a devilish aura, which caused a lot of trouble for Master Xuanzang to go west to learn scriptures." Shen Luo hesitated and said.

"A monk with demonic energy? I've never heard of this from Master Xuanzang." Zen Master Hai Shi thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Really..." Shen Luo showed disappointment, and wondered to himself, could it be that Master Xuanzang and his party did not encounter those five reincarnated demon souls when they were learning Buddhist scriptures?

"Oh, the benefactor mentioned demonic energy. I remembered something. Master Xuanzang said that when they passed through the Wuji country in the Western Regions, his disciple once felt a strong demonic energy." Haishi Zen Master Hua Bai His eyebrows moved suddenly, and he said.

"Oh, where did Master Xuanzang encounter this evil energy? What happened afterwards?" Shen Luo's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"Master Xuanzang didn't go into detail about this matter, but only mentioned it a little bit, because on the way to the west, there were countless encounters with monsters, but he rarely felt the devilish energy. The powerful devilish energy made him feel a little uneasy. I will have to be careful about monsters in the future." Said Zen Master Hai Shi.

Shen Luo let out a sigh, his eyes flickered, and he didn't say any more.

"Elder Hai Shi, I also have a question. Master Xuanzang mysteriously disappeared shortly after returning from learning the scriptures. Do you know what happened? Everyone said that he had been reincarnated. Is that true?" Lu Huaming asked beside him.

"We don't know about this matter, so Master Xuanzang came back from learning the scriptures, handed in an errand to His Majesty, and then returned to Jinshan Temple to practice, but he suddenly disappeared after a while. Many monks in the temple searched for it, but there was no clue." Zen Master Hai Shi shook his head.

"Since that's the case, why is it said that he has been reincarnated?" Lu Huaming asked strangely.

"Shortly after Master Xuanzang disappeared, the old monk took over the position of presiding officer. The old monk practiced dry meditation, and he emphasized the purity of mind and asceticism. He often went to various inaccessible places to practice meditation. At that time, a wooden basin drifted along the water, and there were two infant babies on it." Zen Master Hai Shi continued.

"Oh, two more babies have floated here?" Lu Huaming looked surprised.

"These two people are Jiang Liu and Chan'er. At that time, Jiang Liu had a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. I listened to the teaching of Master Xuanzang face to face, and I recognized that the string of Buddhist beads was exactly the one worn by Master Xuanzang. Everyone in the temple They all thought he was the reincarnation of Jin Chan, and gave him the common name of Jin Chan in his previous life, Jiang Liu." Zen Master Hai Shi continued.

"So that's the reason. The theory of Jin Chan's reincarnation originally came from this." Lu Huaming nodded slowly.

Shen Luo didn't pay attention to other things. Hearing that Zen Master Hai Shi had finally mentioned Jiang Liu, his eyes froze.

"What happened next?" he asked.

"When Jiang Liu was a little older, he realized the principles of Buddhism. He was full of lotus flowers in the Dharma conference, but he never participated in the debates in the temple. Although he was very familiar with Jin Chanzi, he was not at all like Master Jin Chan in his actions Most of the magnificent buildings in the temple were rectified by him." Zen Master Hai Shi sighed.

"Chan Master Hai Shi, you are the host of Jinshan Temple. Why did you let the river run wild? Now that Jinshan Temple has become like this, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism. Moreover, I think many monks in the temple are frivolous, restless, arrogant, and seem to be imitating that. The flow of the river is normal, and if things go on like this, it will be very unfavorable to Jinshan Temple." Lu Huaming said.

"Jiang Liu's Taoism is profound, and his temperament is soaring. Coupled with his status as the reincarnation of the golden cicada, most of the elders in the temple respect him very much and obey him. Although I am the host, I can no longer restrain him." Said Zen Master Hai Shi .

After hearing this, Lu Huaming couldn't help being speechless.

"Chan Master Hai Shi, the reason why Master Jiang Liu didn't want to go to Chang'an, could it be related to his temperament?" Shen Luo couldn't help asking after hearing what Zen Master Hai Shi said until now, but he never mentioned the reason why Master Jiang Liu refused to go to Chang'an. .

Lu Huaming was distracted by Zen Master Hai Shi's words. Hearing Shen Luo's words, he suddenly recalled the purpose of the two of them coming tonight, and immediately looked at Zen Master Hai Shi.

Chapter 0630 Conflict

"That's not true. The reason why Jiang Liu didn't want to go to Chang'an all started from the Golden Cicada Dharma Assembly a few years ago." Zen Master Hai Shi was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.

When Shen Luo and Lu Huaming heard that he finally said this, they listened attentively.

"Because of the master Jin Chanzi in my Jinshan Temple, the Golden Cicada Dharma Assembly is held every year. At that time, Jiang Liu was eight years old. He was successful in Buddhism. It was the first time he participated in the Golden Cicada Dharma Assembly. The monks were all in admiration. But just as the Dharma meeting was about to end, a demon suddenly invaded the temple." Said Chan Master Hai Shi.

"Monster? What kind of demon?" Shen Luo narrowed his pupils and asked immediately.

"I said why the atmosphere in Jinshan Temple is a bit strange, so it was you two who slipped in!" At this moment, a cold snort came from outside.

Before the voice fell, a blue light roared from the outside, but it was a green Jiedao, piercing through the window, and slashed at Shen Luo, with the potential to split it in half.

Shen Luo's face darkened, and with a flick of five fingers on his right hand, five red sword glows several feet long shot out from his hand, hitting the blue Jiedao right in time.

There was a loud "boom", red light and green light were intertwined, and the blue Jiedao shot back backwards, Shen Luo's figure also shook, and took a step back.

The violent air wave spread from the place where they fought, and the house was already dilapidated. When it was hit by the air wave, it was immediately torn apart and collapsed.

One after another figures flew over from a distance, and they landed nearby in the blink of an eye. The figures appeared, all of them were monks from Jinshan Temple, and the leader was the elder Tang Shi.

Standing next to Elder Tang Shi was an old monk with hanging eyebrows, who was also in the out-of-body stage, while the other monks were in the soul-condensing stage and the bigu stage.

Shen Luo's face was ugly, not because he was afraid of the monks of Jinshan Temple, but because he was about to get an answer from Chan Master Hai Shi, and these people suddenly came and interrupted Chan Master Hai Shi's words.

"Brother Tang Shi, what are you doing?" Chan Master Hai Shi stood up and asked in a cold voice.

"Senior Brother Hai Shi, I'm sorry for destroying your house. The younger brother will definitely rebuild it for you in the future, but you'd better leave the current matter alone." Elder Tang Shi said indifferently, and then looked at Shen Luo and Lu Huaming.

"At the order of Master Jiangliu, catch these two people!" Elder Tang Shi ordered coldly.

Immediately, the nearby monks didn't say a word, they started their hands one after another, all kinds of magical weapons were sacrificed together, and all kinds of rays of light shot aggressively at Shen Luo and Lu Huaming.

Ever since Shen Luo entered Jinshan Temple, he had always been careful and said good things, but he was always rejected indifferently. He had long felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he kept suppressing it with his reason.

At this moment, these people came to make trouble again, his eyes turned cold, and he took a step forward silently, a large blue light burst out from his body, and instantly turned into a dazzling blue light group, facing those magic weapons.

A white light flashed from the deepest part of the blue light group, exuding an incomparably cold aura.

When those magical weapons entered the blue light group, their actions immediately became sluggish, as if they were frozen by ice.

"Take it!" Shen Luo waved one hand expressionlessly, a golden shadow flashed across his body, and all the magic weapons trapped by the blue light and cold air disappeared out of thin air.

"This..." All the monks around turned pale with fright, their connection with those magic tools was cut off instantly, and they couldn't sense it anyway.

Elder Tang Shi and the old monk with hanging eyebrows didn't make a move. Seeing this scene, they were also shocked.

They didn't understand Shen Luo's method of collecting those magic weapons at all. They only saw a golden shadow flashing across his body, and then all the magic weapons disappeared.

And Shen Luo also had a hint of surprise in his heart. This time, he used the book of heaven to collect those magic weapons, and he also did it on a temporary basis.In the dream before, he only collected some enemy's flames, poisonous gas and other mana attacks, and he was not sure whether Tianzhu could collect the enemy's physical magic weapons. After this attempt, he succeeded in one fell swoop.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and while Elder Tang Shi and Old Monk Diaomei were still shocked, he slashed at them with one palm.

The blue light around him immediately turned into huge blue waves more than ten feet high, attacking the elder Tang Shi and the old monk with hanging eyebrows.

Before the blue wave arrived, a wave of huge force first made a "buzzing" sound, as if it wanted to crush Elder Tang Shi and Elder Diaomei Zeng into meat paste, and a deep mark was plowed on the ground.

Now that Shen Luo's cultivation has reached the out-of-body stage, he gradually began to show the power of the nameless exercises.

Elder Tang Shi reacted immediately, chanting the mantra with a loud voice, his whole body shone with golden light, his skin turned golden yellow, and his size quickly more than doubled, instantly turning into an extremely mighty golden man, looking like a golden man The King Kong Arhat who subdues demons.

A violent force erupted from his body, the nearby air exploded like cannonballs, and the ground also rumbled, directly splitting several thick cracks in the ground and spreading towards the surroundings.

The aura on his body is also much stronger than before. Originally, it was only in the middle stage of exiting the body, but now it has soared to the peak of the middle stage of exiting the body, and it is only a hair away from reaching the late stage of exiting the body.

Elder Tang Shi punched out his fist slowly, and the fist was shining brightly. A huge force that seemed to be able to shake the mountain exploded from above, hitting the blue waves.

And the old monk next to him also reacted, chanted something, clapped his hand on his waist, and a yellow jade pestle flew out, disappearing in the air.

The next moment, the Demonic Jade Pestle appeared strangely above the blue waves, with a yellow glow all over its body, and sixteen levels of restraint loomed in it. , and smashed down hard.

As if a hill was directly pressed down, the void where the Jade Pestle passed through seemed to be twisting, making a buzzing sound.

The three huge forces collided together, making a thunderous rumble, and the void was darkened, shaking violently a few times.

After all, the blue wave was still defeated by the two giant forces on the opposite side. It was directly blasted away, split in half from the middle, and flowed past the bodies of the two.

But the blue wave that was split in half suddenly rolled up and rolled up, forming a huge vortex around the two of them in an instant, and an even more astonishing force gushed out from all directions, squeezing towards the middle and go.

The old man with hanging eyebrows was caught off guard, his body involuntarily spun along with the vortex, while Elder Tang Shi, who had transformed into a huge golden man, was as steady as a mountain, but the force of the vortex was too great, and his feet staggered violently.
