Chapter 2761

Shanyuan Temple, located in Xishan, Shanyuan City, is a well-known ancient temple with flourishing incense.

It's just that most ordinary people who come here don't know that this place is still an ancient martial arts force.

The presiding officer of Shanyuan Temple, Yuanfa, is a master of Huajin Dzogchen, who practices in the back mountain and does not care about world affairs.

But such a person was still brutally murdered.

Even this ancient temple was destroyed seven out of ten.

Externally, it was an unexpected fire.

But everyone in the know knows what's going on.

When Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu came here and looked at the ruins, they were not at peace.

Several monks in gray robes were cleaning up the ruins, looking a little tired.

"Let's go, let's go to the back mountain."

Xiao Chen looked away and said to Xue Chunqiu.

"it is good."

Xue Chunqiu nodded.

"The old monk Yuanfa of Shanyuan Temple is different from Zhao Rulai. He is a real monk, he doesn't care about world affairs, and focuses on cultivating Buddhism... I didn't expect that he would end up like this."

"So... the Dragon Palace will be destroyed."

Xiao Chen said coldly.

"Yes, it should be destroyed."

Xue Chunqiu's eyes were also very cold. If he hadn't come this time, he really didn't know what happened to Shanyuan Temple.

The two talked and walked towards the back mountain.

"Two benefactors, the back mountain is a Buddhist retreat..."

A monk stopped the two of them and put their hands together.

"We're here to find the Ghost Buddha."

Xiao Chen said to the monk.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the monk's eyes flashed with vigilance, looking for the ghost Buddha?

"It's a friend, not an enemy, he told me."

Xiao Chen noticed the monk's gaze and said another sentence.

"You two please follow me."

The monk nodded and led Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu to the back mountain.

After reaching the back mountain, Xiao Chen saw a small temple.

However, this small temple is now dilapidated.

There is a yellow-robed monk who is cleaning with a broom.

He heard movement and looked up.

When he saw Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and stepped forward to put his palms together: "Benefactor Xue, benefactor Xiao, you are here."

"Master Hongyuan."

Xiao Chen looked at this yellow-robed monk, and was a little surprised, Great Monk Hongyuan?

When they came back from the island country, the Great Monk Hongyuan also came to China and traveled around with the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.

Unexpectedly, he is still here now.

"Where is the old monk?"

Xue Chunqiu nodded and asked.

"Amitabha, Lord Xue, don't come here without any harm."

An old Buddha's name came out, and the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai appeared outside the door.

Xue Chunqiu looked at Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, and suddenly frowned, showing a bit of surprise: "Have you made a breakthrough? Have you stepped into Xiantian?"

Hearing Xue Chunqiu's words, Xiao Chen was also startled. Has the old monk stepped into Xiantian?

He stared intently at Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, and felt it carefully, as if...it was really an innate breath.

This shocked him, did he really step into the innate?

"Hehe, no, it's just another step, closer to Xiantian."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai chuckled and shook his head.

"Two, come in and talk."

"Take another step..."

Xue Chunqiu was very restless, he was comparable in strength to the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, and he was also struggling to find the way to step into Xiantian, but this old monk actually took another step?

Follow the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai into the small temple and sit on the futon.

Xiao Chen took a few glances and saw an ancient bluestone Buddha right in front of him.

It's just that this ancient Buddha has been damaged, and half of his body is broken.

"Old monk, what's going on?"

Xue Chunqiu was not in the mood to look around, looked at the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and asked.

"The reason lies in this Buddha."

Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, said, and bowed to the ancient Buddha.

At this time, Xue Chunqiu noticed the broken ancient Buddha, and frowned, on this Buddha?

"What do you mean? Don't tell me that this Buddha has appeared, and he will pass on your great power to avenge him."

When Xue Chunqiu said this, he felt a little absurd.

"That's not..."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai shook his head and looked at Xiao Chen.

"Did Xiaoyou see anything?"

Hearing the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai's words, Xiao Chen stood up, approached the ancient Buddha, and began to exercise the "Chaos Art" to feel it carefully.

Immediately afterwards, he was slightly shocked. What kind of energy is this?

Similar to the island country, the statues of the shrines there are full of energy, with the power of the soul and the power of faith.

The ancient Buddha in front of him also has similar energy.

"This is... the power of faith?"

Xiao Chen looked at Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and asked.

"Ok."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai nodded.

"That's right, it's the power of faith."

"..."

Xiao Chen was surprised, can this old monk absorb the power of faith?

Seemingly aware of Xiao Chen's surprise, Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, explained: "It may be because of the same origin. The old monk didn't expect it at first, but when he touched this ancient Buddha, he still felt abnormal... After all, it is also Because what you did in the island country inspired the old monk, I tried to absorb it, but I didn’t expect it to be possible.”

"Let me try."

As Xue Chunqiu said, he put his hand on the ancient Buddha and began to exercise his mind.

Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, didn't stop him either. He felt that Xue Chunqiu could not succeed.

In fact it was the same, Xue Chunqiu frowned quickly, he didn't feel anything.

Oh no, he felt a chill.

But what the hell... This ancient Buddha is made of stone, which stone is not cold!

"The old monk thinks that this place is actually a small cave, or that there is a formation... The power of faith in Shanyuan Temple will be absorbed by this ancient Buddha! It's a pity that Yuanfa is gone, so we can't know him Do you also absorb the power of faith! However, the aura in this small temple is obviously stronger than the surrounding area."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said.

"Although this place has been destroyed, the formation doesn't seem to have been destroyed..."

Hearing what the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said, Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu felt it, and it was true that the aura was quite strong.

"Master, how do you feel after absorbing the power of faith?"

Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, and asked.

"It's more transparent. According to what you said before, it means that the power of the soul is stronger."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai replied.

"It is precisely because of the strong power of the soul that the old monk has taken another step and is getting closer to the Xiantian realm."

"The power of the soul...it seems that the key to becoming innate is really the soul."

Xue Chunqiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the ancient Buddha again.

The old monk has the same origin as the ancient Buddha, so he can absorb and strengthen his own spiritual power.

What about him?

What should he do?

"Xiaoyou, can you absorb any energy?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"Well, almost."

Xiao Chen nodded. His strength has improved by leaps and bounds because he absorbed too much energy from the Daoguo Shrine and transformed it into his own strength.

"Then when you were born, there shouldn't be any threshold..."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was also a little envious, but thinking that he could absorb the power of faith from the ancient Buddha, he felt that he should not be greedy.

Didn't you see Xue Chunqiu frowning there, with an expression of contemplation and envy?

"its not right."

Suddenly, Xue Chunqiu looked at Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and said something.

"What's wrong?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai is strange.

"Old monk, you are half a Buddha and half a demon. You are not of the same origin as a Buddha, right? Why can you absorb it?"

Xue Chunqiu frowned.

"As long as there is, it is considered the same source... You reminded the old monk, maybe you can go to some evil sects and see if you can gain something."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said to Xue Chunqiu.

"..."

Xue Chunqiu was speechless, if he could do it, this old monk might really be able to become a genius in one day!

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

However, he was also happy for the old monk. This old monk's innate ability at least shows that there is still a way, and it can be regarded as giving them hope.

People are not afraid of difficulties, but they are afraid of hopelessness.

When a person is so desperate that even hope is gone, that is really over.

"Old monk, congratulations."

Xue Chunqiu looked at Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and said.

"Hehe, finally there is a way, Tong Xi, you can do it too."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai smiled.

"After the Dragon Palace is destroyed and the karma is resolved for Yuanfa, the old monk plans to stay here for a period of time. One is to practice, and the other is to rebuild the Shanyuan Temple. The centuries-old temple should not end up in such a situation."

At the end, Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, looked outside. From here, he could still see the Shanyuan Temple at the foot of the mountain. His smile disappeared, neither sad nor happy.

"Master has such an idea, so it is naturally possible...to rebuild Shanyuan Temple, I will also contribute."

Xiao Chen thought about it and said.

"At that time, I will take out a sum of money, which can be regarded as... forming a good relationship with the Buddha."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, smiled: "Hehe, good, the old monk said long ago that you have a destiny with my Buddha, so you can enter my Buddhist gate..."

"Stop... Master, let's not mention this, okay?"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and looked at the broken ancient Buddha again. He really didn't expect that there would be such a reward for coming here.

The power of the soul!

It could be said that this proved his previous guess.

"Okay, don't mention it."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai nodded.

"When are you going to Dragon Palace?"

"Still making preparations. When everyone is ready, go to Long Island... The old Dragon King is dead, and there is only one Supreme Elder, so there is nothing to worry about."

Xiao Chen said to Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha.

"The only thing I'm worried about is Qing Yanzong."

"Qingyanzong... yes, Qinglong Secret Realm is under the joint control of Qingyanzong and Dragon Palace. After passing that mountain, it is the territory of Qingyanzong."

Zhao Rulai, the ghost Buddha, immediately understood what was going on, pointed to the endless mountains in the distance, and said slowly.

"There... there is Qingyan Valley, Qingyanzong is in it, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

"Qingyan Valley..."

Xiao Chen looked over and saw that it was connected to the source of the mountain, but not far away.

Thinking of something, he asked curiously, "What about the Azure Dragon Secret Realm? Where is it?"

"It's also within that mountain range, but it's not in the space we're in."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai replied.

"Another space? If you have a chance, you can go and have a look."

Xiao Chen looked at the mountain range and muttered to himself.
