At the moment when all the two Bodhisattva disciples died.
The originally splendid hall, but now in a mess, has quietly become unreal.
Even the golden statue of the god disappeared in an instant like a fleeting cloud of smoke.
On the crowded long street, the smell of blood suddenly spread, causing passers-by to stop in shock. There were only two pools of blood left on the bluestone road, proving what had just happened.
On another street far away from here.
The man in the white shirt carrying the wine flask looked drunk. He suddenly sniffed and his eyes became clearer.
He frowned and caught the fragrance contained in the faint blood.
Meng Xiuwen cast his spell and took a step forward. His figure appeared in front of two pools of blood. He pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, leaned over and dipped a little blood on his fingertips.
When he saw the dimming golden light spots in his blood, the last trace of his drunkenness faded away, and he shivered.
"To do something bad..."
For some reason, Meng Xiuwen clearly hadn't thought clearly yet, but he instinctively took his legs out and ran towards the inn.
He originally didn't pay much attention to the fact that Ye Lan left Jianyang Mansion and was temporarily unable to leave. After all, the Demon Slayer Officer himself had the strength to guard the Mansion, so major problems rarely occurred.
But now, he just feels cold all over.
A practitioner of the Bodhi Sect has died in Jianyang Mansion, and the practitioner that Meng Xiuwen is most familiar with is his newly appointed demon-slaying officer!
Could it be that the old lady from Qingmei came to kill me?
"Are you guys okay?"
Meng Xiuwen stood on the second floor of the inn, shouted in a low voice, and kicked open the door with a bang. When he saw everything in the room clearly, the anxiety on his face gradually turned weird.
I saw Ye Jing leaning against the corner, closing her eyes and adjusting her breathing.
On the other side, there was a big bloody hole on the monk's face, and he could vaguely identify him as Zhi Kongxing. He did not heal the wound, but just sat on the ground with a dull expression, staring straight at Shen Yi on the bed in front of him.
Things seem to be different from what I imagined.
But when he saw clearly what Shen Yi was doing, Meng Xiuwen couldn't laugh at all. He only felt the chill on his body getting stronger. He hurriedly stepped into the house and closed the door with a bang!
There were two corpses lying on the bed, both dressed as travelers. One had his head smashed open by a hard object, while the other had his head completely missing.
Mr. Shen, on the other hand, was searching the two of them carefully, refusing to let go of any detail.
His posture was very much like that of a bandit who had just finished robbing someone.
"call."
Shen Yi slowly took out two gold pages and finally had a smile on his face.
It was indeed as expected.
Although ordinary monks rarely carry the exercises with them, the Bodhi Sect is different.
Shen Yi has personally experienced how terrifying it is to face the real doom without the protection of the treasure sutra, so this thing is not so much a skill as a life-protecting card that stabilizes the soul.
Even if you have memorized the above content, it will at least give you peace of mind if you can take it with you and read it at any time.
"..."
Meng Xiuwen's eyelids twitched twice, and the other party's smile became more serious. He said with a dry mouth: "What on earth are you doing? What is this?"
Now he probably guessed why Shen Yi, a casual cultivator, was so fresh and refined.
Were all the means for this outfit obtained in this way?
"Practitioners of the Bodhi Sect want to intercept and kill Master Shen and I in Jianyang Mansion."
Ye Jing usually stared blankly, but at this moment she opened her eyes slightly, and in one sentence she turned Shen Yi's personal vendetta for stealing the Fruit Position Treasure Sutra into an official crime committed by a thief.
Apart from anything else, the two monks who killed the Ziyun Sect monks were definitely not good people.
Lord Shen is doing this to eliminate harm for the Shen Dynasty!
Ye Jing glanced at Shen Yi, who had just taken the scripture from the corpse, and pursed her lips with some guilt.
"Tsk."
Meng Xiuwen was not a fool, how could he be fooled by such a meaningless statement, but now that the matter had been done... He glanced at Zhi Kongxing next to him: "So, this is a living mouth?"
"ah?"
Monk Zhikong finally came to his senses. For some reason, being stared at by the man in white shirt made him feel a little cold on his neck.
Shen Xianyou is really weird, and his friends don't look like ordinary people either.
The monk still remembers that it was he who gave Shen Yi the Three Tribulations Lotus Platform Technique, and in a short period of time, it has been practiced to perfection. Of course, he did not think that a court official would lack the imperial energy to survive the inner tribulation.
Emperor Qi in the human world is the most important means for the imperial court to control China. Every time you use it, you lose it. Even court officials only have the power to mobilize it, and they rarely get it into the hands of private individuals.
But no matter what, it is much easier to obtain than monks like myself.
But the prerequisite for overcoming the inner calamity is to be able to understand the Dharma and practice it.
Shen Xianyou cultivated the Three Tribulations Lotus Technique so easily. Even if he was taught, he would still be praised by the elders for his excellent Buddha nature.
What a pity...
Monk Zhikong looked at the bodies of his two senior brothers again. Ever since Shen Xianyou was killed by the killer, it has been difficult for him to have the opportunity to join the cult.
But at the same time, he thought of something even more terrifying.
If Shen Xianyou is a court official, has channels to obtain enough royal energy, has amazing Buddha nature, and holds the Dragon and Tiger Sutra, if this trend continues, wouldn't it mean that... a dragon and tiger will appear in the future? Arhat is not a disciple of the Bodhi Sect at all, so there is even a grudge between the two parties?!
Monk Zhikong simply couldn't imagine what kind of punishment the elders in the sect would use to punish him after learning about this incident.
Fortunately, neither I nor my two senior brothers have mastered the Golden Lotus Technique.
That thing is not something that can be obtained casually.
Even if you have perfected the Lotus Platform of Six Kalpas, you still need to be valued by a certain venerable, equivalent to half a disciple. Only by passing his test can you obtain this method and reach the realm of the Golden Lotus Practitioner.
Immediately he took the fruition and became a Dharma Protector Arhat under the lotus throne of this Venerable.
Shen Xianyou was heading towards a dead end, but fortunately there was a section missing in the middle of the road.
"It has nothing to do with Master Zhikong."
Shen Yi carefully put away the gold book, turned around and shook his head.
[Seventh Grade. Six Tribulations Lotus Technique: Uninitiated]
"So it was Master Shen who did it again, right?" Meng Xiuwen gritted his teeth and smiled. He had already seen that Shen Yi was not a good person, so when Ye Lan appointed him as the temporary demon slayer officer, he was still worried. Feeling funny.
But he really didn't expect that the other party could be so cruel.
Joining forces with the Bodhi Sect disciples, directly killing two other practitioners, killing people to obtain the Dharma, listen, is this something that people in the imperial court can do?
The most outrageous thing is that Shen Yi won.
The Six Tribulation Walkers almost represent the upper limit of the strength of the seventh-level realm. Even the Zhikong monk is a bit weaker, and it is impossible for Ye Jing to play any role in such a battle.
When the opponent introduced Sanxian, he not only won, but also killed two of them at once.
No one would dare to believe this if I told it.
"call."
Meng Xiuwen sighed, stretched out his hand to call out a sword light and began to destroy the corpse. At the same time, he discovered that an invisible flame fell on another corpse.
He was silent for a moment and looked at Shen Yi. The movements of the two of them were so familiar. After their eyes briefly touched, they looked away tacitly.
"Can we talk?"
After solving the matter of destroying the corpses and eradicating traces, Meng Xiuwen put away his unattractive appearance, and his whole person became much more serious in a rare way.
Even if the killing of the disciples of the Bodhi Sect can be known to Monk Zhikong, the matter involving the Demon Slayer Division cannot be disclosed to him.
"good."
Shen Yi tapped her chin lightly and followed the other person out of the house.
After doing so many things, he was still able to stay safely in Jianyang Mansion without having to run for his life, precisely because of his status as the Demon Slayer Division.
But this identity obviously also has degrees.
No matter how thick the tree is, it cannot always allow its subordinates to do whatever they want.
"You will always need to find someone to study under in the future. You cannot continue like this."
Meng Xiuwen stood up slowly and handed over the wine gourd in his hand: "Learn a little from the east and a little from the west. It seems that there are many methods and strong strength, but if you don't reach the fifth level, it is just a small path after all, whether it is Taoist fruit or fruit position. Sooner or later you have to pick one."
"It's hard to get these things by yourself, you need someone to teach you."
"However, joining our profession is equivalent to being shut out of the three religions, including other immortal sects. It will be difficult to accept us. You will most likely have to learn the skills from the seniors in the profession."
At this point, Meng Xiuwen looked self-deprecating: "Don't be like me. I say that I do whatever I want and act chivalrously. In fact, in the eyes of my seniors, I am just a thorn in the side of disobedience. Problems can arise at any time. No one dares to pick on us."
"What about the strongest demon slayer... no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to get the title in the end, he will not be able to find a disciple, and he will be stuck in the sixth rank, unable to make any progress."
"..."
Shen Yi listened quietly and took a sip of turbid wine.
Sometimes, I either deliberately want to cause trouble, or I just can't see it and just want to take care of it.
From the beginning to today, I have experienced countless things, big and small, but I have never been able to get rid of this bad habit.
"That's all."
Seeing Shen Yi's appearance, Meng Xiuwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if he had seen himself before, and it would never make sense to reason.
He patted the young man on the shoulder and brushed off the topic: "Do you know that whether it is a heavenly immortal or a Golden Lotus Walker, these sixth-level realms are actually just a transition. Of course, this transition is also very important. It determines your ability in the future. What kind of fruit does it carry?"
"There are six calamities for true immortals and six calamities for heavenly immortals. The total number is twelve. However, for most Taoist fruits, nine calamities are enough."
"You have learned so many skills, but you have learned everything well. It shows that you are extremely talented. Find a good teacher and make your path perfect. If you can pick up a good Taoist fruit, your life will be considered perfect. Already."
"As a human being, you must have something to look forward to."
He retracted his palm and smiled at Shen Yi: "Do you understand?"
"I don't quite understand."
Shen Yi shook her head, not sure why the other party suddenly mentioned these things.
"Hey." Meng Xiuwen stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair vigorously: "What I mean is, you don't have to go around like a bandit to rob!"
"Ye Lan! This is the path you should take the most. It will make her have a favorable impression of you. The Taixu Dao Fruit she picked is one of the top ten good things among the seventy-two!"
The things Shen Yi is doing now will only make Ye Lan distrust him more and more. Isn't this losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds!
"I remember she said she wanted to take you to the meeting with her. This is a good opportunity. Don't let it slip. You should show yourself well when the time comes. Besides, with your ability to offend people and make mortal enemies, I really can't think of anyone other than her. Who can protect you?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyes slightly.
Taixu Daoguo... sounds really exciting.
To be honest, he actually knows the way of a practitioner, and he will not be able to go very long. After all, he killed three of his disciples before he even joined the religion. He cannot pin his future on luck and expect to be the same as last time. , and easily picked up treasures such as the Dragon and Tiger Sutra.
Probably the limit is to obtain the Dragon and Tiger fruition status. To obtain further sutras is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
In the end, we have to return to the path of Xianjia.
It's just that I'm really not good at establishing a good relationship with women.
"So what kind of meeting are you going to?" Shen Yi looked sideways. If he wanted to perform well, he had to understand it in advance.
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuwen also frowned: "Actually, I don't know very well. The Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortals Sect are different. After all, they follow different paths. They insist on not spreading the Dharma to outsiders. Even if the Venerable teaches the Dharma, I also invite the practicing Arhats to come and listen."
"But this time it's different."
"That venerable person posted Buddhist posts widely without any taboos. Many immortal sects received the post. At that time, many immortal sects came to watch the ceremony. I don't know what this venerable person wanted to say."
Having said this, Meng Xiuwen narrowed his eyes slightly and a coldness filled his pupils: "This matter is too involved and has caused quite a turmoil. Even the imperial capital takes it very seriously."
"Do you know what kind of existence the Venerable is? In terms of strength alone, he is equivalent to a third-grade immortal official. If you put him in their Bodhi Sect, he is respected as a Bodhisattva!"
"For such a big man who covers the sky, how can others see his deep meaning? It just makes people feel uneasy."
Meng Xiuwen took a deep breath. To the cultivators, such a grand event was no less than the imperial court distributing disaster relief food to the refugees, but to the Demon Slayer Division, it was a headache.
"Understood."
Shen Yi nodded, almost confirming that General Yanlan brought him with him purely to listen to the Dharma. To put it simply, it was just a chance to give him a chance.
When it comes to matters involving third-grade giants, a mere seventh-grade monk can do nothing.
But no matter what, if you improve your strength first, you will have more chances to save your life if you encounter any danger.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi said goodbye to Meng Xiuwen, turned around and returned to the inn.
He picked an empty room and summoned the aura rat to guard the door.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Since the last calamity, Shen Yi has been recalling the feeling of unity between heaven and man. Now that she has a new treasure sutra to protect her soul, she can finally continue to move forward.
[Remaining demon life span: one hundred and sixty-seven calamities]
In an instant, all the demon's longevity energy was poured into the Six Tribulations Lotus Platform Dharma.
