Artifact

The big cold is followed by the small year, and the weather is getting colder and colder as the year approaches, but in the eastern continent, whether it is a city or a village, there are lights everywhere, and there is a lively atmosphere.

Sticking curtains, hanging lanterns, and buying New Year's goods, people are beaming with joy and joy, and even the rich, scavengers, homeless people, and beggars stop working to enjoy the rare heart-warming moments of the year.

In this season, in addition to the best business in the flower market, restaurants, and various business districts, the most popular places are the many temples scattered all over the north and south of the river.

Although the people of Dongtu claim to be atheistic, most of the ordinary people "believe" in the teachings of Buddhism - they call "burning incense and donating incense and oil in exchange for their various wishes" as faith, which is also an extremely strange thing in the religious circles.

But in any case, outside of the first and fifteenth days of the new year or the Bodhisattva's birthday, the temple has the best "business" for the New Year.

Burning incense, banging the bell, honoring candles, lighting lamps, releasing life, inviting God, and repaying vows...... "Projects" that can make money are lined up to rush up, even the most obscure temples - anyone who holds a "religious activity site certificate" can make a lot of money during this time.

And located in the north of the Yizhou Strait in the East Tuguo Longshan Temple, the thousand-year-old temple, is even more incense, faith and goodness flocking.

Hidden under the solemn appearance of Longshan Temple is the immortal mountain suspended above the strait - Tianbao Pavilion, one of the three authentic sects of the Eastern Soil.

Due to many historical reasons, Cheonpokaku was divided into two factions, the North Cheonpo was thousands of kilometers away from the Goryeo Kingdom Leng Yan Temple, and the Yongsan Temple was called the South Cheonpo.

Nantianbao is the only place in the world where the Tao is cultivated.

Here, the monk is the Tao, the Tao is the monk, the monk is not distinguished, and the precepts are dual-held.

It's just that the strange thing is that since a few months ago, for some reason, Nantianbao closed the mountain and closed the temple, and even the Longshan Temple under the mountain was closed.

Of course, many believers didn't know about the existence of Nantianbao at all, and they all came to Longshan Temple.

Even if Longshan Temple said that the temple was overhauled, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the believers, and people gathered outside the temple gate to burn incense and pray, making black smoke and miasma and garbage everywhere.

Because there are so many people, the local government can only send a large number of police to maintain order.

On the other hand, the monks and Taoists of Longshan Temple were not idle, and they all went into battle and were raised to the highest security state, for fear that something "strange" would be mixed in among these believers.

As for what "strange things" were, most of the monks were not clear, and they were given the order that if they noticed anything strange about anyone, even the slightest thing, they should immediately report it to their respective masters, up to the first elder.

Longshan Temple, and even the Nantianbao behind it are like facing the enemy, and the posture of waiting for the battle can be said to be rare since the temple was built.

The reason for this is that there are rumors among the monks that the treasure of Nantianbao has found a peerless treasure left by the ancestor of Longxi in the treasure mountain, and there is also gossip that it is not a peerless treasure, but that Nantianbao has taken in a demon from another world.

What is the concept of being scared?

No one knew, because there was only a small group of monks between Longshan Temple and Nan Tianbao to communicate with each other, even if it was Nan Tianbao's people, they had only heard that Treasure Mountain was now blocked, and it was guarded by four backbones of the main sect.

These four are the strongest people under the Eight Bags of Elders of Nan Tianbao, and they all have the cultivation of the Dan Realm at the very least.

Two of them were Master Cixuan and Xiqiu Dao Chief, who had been stationed in the temple, while the other two were summoned from among the disciples of Yunyou by a special edict issued by the Nine Bags Elder Sun Supreme.

These two people, one is the younger brother of Master Cixuan, Master Cihui. Legend has it that he studied the Vedic Sanskrit language and minored in the Vedic Path on this basis, and his cultivation was highly powerful and unfathomable.

The other is the apprentice of the Xiqiu Daoist.

This apprentice is not ordinary, he is known as the strongest disciple of Nan Tianbao in the past three hundred years, known as the "Qimen Taoist monk", salty.

Xianya is young, but he is already a six-bag elder like his master, Xiqiu Daochang, and it is said that he is proficient in magic and mundane science, and it can be said that he is a master of Dao skills!

Master Cihui and Daoist Xianzai were ordered to guard the Treasure Mountain, except that Daoist Xianzai would go to deliver food to Master Xiqiu Daoist once every three days, and the two of them had been meditating in front of the gate of Treasure Mountain all day long, and it had been several days now.

Someone asked, does the Xiqiu Daoist have no hands and feet? Do you want the apprentice Xianya to bring him food?

Yes, this is also a secret that cannot be said in Nantianbao - or a scandal.

It was said that the Xiqiu Daoist violated the door rules and was punished by the Nine Bags Elder Sun Supreme for cleaning the peak facing the wall.

Of course, only a very few people knew about the secret in it, and that was that the Pure Peak was actually imprisoned by another high-ranking elder.

Eight bags of elder Wang Ensheng mother-in-law.

.

Qingjing Peak, 19 songs and 300 caves.

In the dark cave, an old voice sounded:

"Xiqiu, you can go out of the customs, and you don't have to stay here all day. "

The person who spoke was an old woman in a floral dress and colored sunglasses, kneeling on the ground.

At her feet was a straw mat, which was already covered with moss.

As soon as this voice came out, the sound of footsteps landing on the ground was heard not far away: "It is worthy of you, Master, even if you are a disciple who performs cultivation, you only have to be as close as three hundred feet!"

The visitor was smiling, carrying a box of food in his hand.

In complete darkness, he seemed to have eyes capable of night vision, walking on the ground in a rugged cave.

This person was none other than the Six Bags Elder Xiqiu, who was one of the disciples of Wang En's Holy Mother-in-law.

Wang Ensheng sighed lightly: "How is it outside these days?"

Xiqiu fell in front of him: "Master, it's safe outside." And there are Cihui and Xianzai are there, I am very relieved!".

Wang Ensheng said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, don't forget the pain of being a teacher! If it weren't for the cat fairy of Night Thirteen, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't have lived today." "

Xiqiu put down his meal and glanced at Wang Ensheng.

The old lady was wrapped in a layer of gauze on her head, completely covering her eyes, and the swelling of her eyes had basically disappeared compared with a few days ago, that is, two large pools of dirt oozed from the gauze, and the smell was extremely fishy.

Xiqiu asked with concern, "Master, how are your injuries now?"

"It's already healed, and it will be completely removed in a few days. What about you?".

"The apprentice has been well for a long time. Fortunately, the cat fairy was treated in time, and the apprentice was basically not infected. "

Wang Ensheng nodded with satisfaction: "Night Thirteen, we are on the right track." By the way, I heard that when Night Thirteen left, he took a weapon with him?".

"Master...... You...... How do you know......?

"Xiqiu, I'm old, but my ears are still good. And Senior Brother Sun and the master master also knew. "

"Frightened, could it be that all the masters' cultivation has begun to recover steadily?"

"Exactly! Since the 'shield' of Night Thirteen discovered the Monopoly Pearl, this thing was imprisoned in the 'Rubik's Cube', and its power has been greatly weakened, and now it is so weak that it can't affect us and others. "

"Great! In this way, Nan Tianbao's combat strength can be restored to its original state!

Wang Ensheng sighed slightly: "It's just ...... Bitter the girl named Yiqing...... We are waiting for the monks of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and even all living beings in the world...... will owe her a favor in reincarnation because of this!".

Xiqiu's expression was gloomy: "This matter is also a helpless move...... But fortunately, she willingly became the shield of Night Thirteen!".

"Alas...... I just hope she can be safe! Xiqiu, you have been protecting the Dharma at Qingjing Peak for many days, and it is time to go down the mountain. Nan Tianbao can't do without you!".

"Master, after a few days you have completely recovered, I will go down the mountain to preside over the chores in the temple. To tell the truth, during this period of Qingjing Peak, under the meditation and cultivation of the disciples, the cultivation has been consolidated and refined a lot ......."

The two chatted and chatted, and began to delve into the discussion of interpretation and Taoism.

At this moment, the entire Pure Peak let out a whine.

It was as if it had been blown by an extremely strong wind, and the towering mountain peaks trembled violently.

Xiqiu jumped in shock: "...... Something happened?".

Wang Ensheng shouted: "Xiqiu, for the sake of the teacher, you should go down the mountain quickly, guard the temple and protect the Dharma, there must be no mistakes!".

"Yes!".

"Wait!!

".

"Master!?".

"What's more important than Nan Tianbao is the girl with the dragon body and human appearance! If Nan Tianbao is destroyed in one fell swoop, Xiqiu ...... You're desperate to save her!".
