Chapter 332: Closing the Mountain and the Temple

"You two, please go back!" Hong Lianhua said this after Kong You's eyes turned around Bai Jintang and Kong Yuanren. Bai Jintang was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Hong Lianhua's nose and shouted: "Hong Lianhua, what do you mean by this?"

Although Kong Yuanren did not speak, he also looked at Hong Lianhua with frowning eyebrows.

It turns out that in the eyes of outsiders, although the three major religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are divided and ruled, and sometimes even compete with each other, but in the three major sacred mountains above the thousand layers of Tianmen, the relationship between the three major religions is very harmonious, and they are almost as close as a family.

This is also the reason why Bai Jintang wanted to rush to Xiaoxumi Mountain without thinking.

But now Hong Lianhua appeared at the right time, and his words were even more stiff, how could Bai Jintang and Kong Yuanren not be suspicious?

"The Dragon-Subduing Venerable has issued a decree: From now on, the Small Xumi Mountain will be closed! The Tianlong Temple will be closed!"

"Close the mountain and close the temple!?"

This time, even Kong Yuanren couldn't help but exclaim.

In the nearly ten thousand years since the founding of Wanzong City, the three sacred mountains have not been closed, but they are not rare. Every time the mountains were closed in history, Wanzong City was facing life and death, and the three sacred mountains had to close the mountains and activate the city protection magic circle.

Now there is no war, no sudden change, why is the Small Xumi Mountain closed for no reason? It's fine to close the mountain, but even the Tianlong Temple has closed the entrance and exit. What's the reason?

"May I ask fellow Daoist Honglian, has anything happened in Tianlong Temple? If there is anything unspeakable, please don't be shy. Our three major sects are of the same origin..." Kong Yuanren just said this, Honglianhua frowned impatiently, and the red lotus between his eyebrows trembled slightly, and then Honglianhua interrupted expressionlessly: "Everything is normal in Tianlong Temple, but after all, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are not from the same sect. There are some things in our Buddhist sect that are really inconvenient to tell you two. Please go back and tell the elders!"

The elders in Honglianhua's mouth are naturally the scholar and the ancestors of the Bai family.

After saying this, before Bai Jintang and Kong Yuanren could ask again, Honglianhua had already disappeared on the teleportation array, and the teleportation array was dim for a while, obviously temporarily ineffective.

Seeing this, Kong Yuanren frowned, and Bai Jintang's handsome face turned cold.

"Brother Jin! Are you going to see Master Shang with me, or..."

"...No! There are still some things to deal with at home, so Jintang will not go to see Master Shang. Please ask Brother Yuanren to apologize for me! Goodbye!" After bowing, Bai Jintang took a deep look at the teleportation array leading to Xiaoxumi Mountain, then turned around and left, entering the Tianmen. Kong Yuanren's brows never relaxed until Bai Jintang left, then he rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the teleportation array leading to Xiaoxumi Mountain and whispered to himself: "Close the mountain and the temple? What does Tianlong Temple want to do? It's incomprehensible!"

After that, Kong Yuanren didn't even come down from the teleportation array, and teleported back again.

After that day and night, an explosive news spread throughout Wanzong City.

Bai Jintang, defeated by Xiao Mian!

Who is Bai Jintang?

He is the eldest grandson of the Bai family, the future head of the Bai family, and also the first person to form a pill among the younger generation in Wanzong City. He is a well-deserved leader!

Who is Xiao Mian?

If it was two days earlier, although Xiao Mian had some reputation, he was not known to everyone in Wanzong City. Thanks to Bai Jintang, Xiao Mian's reputation spread throughout Wanzong City in the past two days. Not to mention that everyone knows him, he is also a household name.

However, Xiao Mian is only a foundation-building cultivator, while Bai Jintang is a Jindan master. Even if the two of them fight, Bai Jintang should win and Xiao Mian lose. How could it be the other way around?

For a while, everyone thought that this was a false news spread by word of mouth.

However, with the appearance of a mirror image imprinted by a branding stone, the criticism gradually subsided, replaced by increasingly noisy and incredible sounds.

The mirror image imprinted in the branding stone is not complete, but it also starts from Xiao Mian breaking free from Bai Jintang's golden hand, and then piercing through Bai Jintang's imperial book defense shield with one finger, cutting off his hair, grabbing the triple golden crown, and finally quietly breaking through the Tianxing geomagnetic array that was enough to trap a Jindan master to death, and escaping on a flying boat.

When this mirror image of the brand stone just appeared, some people expressed doubts, after all, the brand stone can be manipulated. But when everyone learned that the person who branded this mirror image was the Jindan strongman Bashan Zun, the doubts gradually subsided. Bashan Zun's character was well-known; then the Jindan strongman Dilong Yanyan from the Farmer School even came forward to support Bashan Zun. Although he did not take out the corresponding brand stone, the public declaration of a Jindan strongman was enough for ordinary cultivators to regard it as the truth of the matter.

Strangely, during this period, Bai Jintang and Xiao Mian, the two parties involved in the incident, did not come forward to explain or issue any declaration.

The Bai family seemed to have turned a deaf ear to this matter, and as for Xiao Mian, he was not seen alive or dead.

Some people suspected that Xiao Mian had been silenced by the Bai family. After all, the fate of those who dared to humiliate Bai Jintang in public was imaginable. Of course, the Bai family's silence also proved the authenticity of the matter in disguise. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Wanzong City.

At this time, the Xiaoxumi Mountain was peaceful, without any of the haste and chaos of the previous mountain and temple closures. Instead, it was more peaceful.

Xiaoxumi Mountain, Tianlong Temple, Daxiong Hall.

The little monk stood alone in the vast and magnificent Daxiong Hall, looking at the Buddha sitting cross-legged in the middle, the Buddha who was praised as the one who could dominate the world!

I just hope you don't let me down!

Slowly, the little monk sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his appearance solemn, his left hand placed horizontally on his left foot; his right hand stretched straight down, touching the ground, showing the appearance of enlightenment.

Except for the little monk, the huge Mahavira Hall was empty. The little monk seemed to be completely integrated into the Mahavira Hall, or more accurately, into the Buddha statue. As time passed, the whole hall emitted waves of heartbeats, and the center of the wave was the image of the Buddha.

At this time, the little monk had no heartbeat at all, like a dead tree!

After a long time, this wave even spread to the periphery of the Mahavira Hall.

Along the central axis of Tianlong Temple, from the Heavenly King Hall and the Mountain Gate Hall in front to the Sutra Pavilion and Tianlong Pavilion in the back, even the bell tower, drum tower, Galan Hall, Patriarch Hall and other buildings on both sides were infected by this mysterious wave and followed the wave.

That's not all. Not only the entire Tianlong Temple, but as time goes by, the entire Xiaoxumi Mountain begins to be eager to try, and there seems to be signs of fluctuations.

In the Jialan Hall on the side of the Mahavira Hall, Hong Lianhua has no expression on her face, only the red lotus at the center of her eyebrows is slightly shaking, showing the struggle in Hong Lianhua's heart.

Is this the fluctuation caused by the little monk?

Who is he, who can make the entire Tianlong Temple - no! It's the entire Xiaoxumi Mountain fluctuate with him. This is no longer a question of powerful magic or great magical powers, but a question of the quality and grade of Buddha nature.

In the eyes of outsiders, Buddhist cultivators are a special kind of cultivators, and the so-called Buddha nature can only be possessed by Buddhist cultivators, but this is not the case. For example, Xiao Mian was praised by Fu Hu Zun as having great wisdom and Buddha nature. It's just that this Buddha nature also has grades. The grade of Buddha nature is like the spiritual root qualification of ordinary cultivators. Although it cannot completely determine the future achievements of cultivators, it can roughly define the highest achievements of cultivators in the future.

In other words, Buddha nature is also divided into three, six, nine grades.

The mysterious Buddha nature that filled the Tianlong Temple at this time, although not strong and fierce, was deep and continuous, boundless and endless, as if it was created by nature. Although Hong Lianhua had always been conceited and even looked down on Bai Jintang, facing this Buddha nature that suddenly appeared, Hong Lianhua had to grit his teeth and close his eyes no matter how unwilling he was.

At this time, in the Tianlong Pavilion, which was located in the last forbidden area of ​​the Tianlong Temple, the Dragon-Subduing Venerable suddenly opened his eyes that had been closed all the time, his eyes penetrated the world and illuminated the sun and the moon.

"What a pure Buddha nature! The nature of a Buddha, the nature of a temple, the nature of a mountain, the nature of a world. This boy is indeed worthy of being the reincarnated spirit boy of Buddhism. He will surely attain Bodhi in the future!" At this point, the eyes of the Venerable Jianglong swept to the Galan Hall next to him. His long eyebrows moved slightly, and he sighed in a low voice: "The heart is troubled by demons, this is the red lotus calamity, alas..."

With a sigh, the Venerable Jianglong was about to close his eyes and practice again, but the next moment, his gray eyebrows slightly raised, and his face was full of suspicion.

"This is..., where does the fluctuation come from? Although it is small and weak, it can take care of his Buddha nature and resonate with each other. Is it from the confinement world?"

The confinement world is what ordinary cultivators call the confinement space!

In the confinement space, Xiao Mian is practicing the "Soul Separation Method".

Now Xiao Mian is on the verge of a breakthrough in Qi training, and the poisonous relic in the body training is about to advance. Only the spirit training is limited because of the insufficient number of divine thoughts.

Although there is no clear number of divine thoughts to mark the divine thoughts of a Jindan master, according to Xiao Mian's estimation, his current ten divine thoughts are probably far from reaching the level of an ordinary Jindan master. Only when the number of divine thoughts he possesses can be compared with that of an ordinary Jindan master can it be said that he has achieved perfection in the path of refining the soul.

In the confined space, even Xiao Mian could not feel the passage of time. He could only infer time through his own meditation practice. It was unknown whether Xiao Mian's cultivation of Qi and body training had driven his cultivation of the soul, or whether it was because he had not practiced the "Soul Separation and Soul Separation Method" for a long time and had accumulated a lot of experience. It was in this state of no object and no self that the practice of the "Soul Separation and Soul Separation Method" was extremely smooth, and could even be said to be a thousand miles a day. In just three days, Xiao Mian cultivated three more divine thoughts.

If calculated at this speed, Xiao Mian would be able to increase the number of divine thoughts to one hundred after three months of hard practice. By then, the quantitative change should have led to a qualitative change!
