Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 37
"The thief is bald and dares to speak and deceive the prince! This general was ordered by the prince to come to slay you and other traitors! How dare you say you don't know this person?"

Zhou Mingguang held up the decree that Qin Sang gave to his prince, and waved his hand violently.

Abbot Yuanzhen's complexion changed dramatically, he hurriedly took the head, and his hands shook suddenly.

The monks behind him knelt down on the ground hula, weeping mournfully, some called Master, and some called Master.

Zhou Mingguang turned a blind eye and spread out a silk cloth.

"Xuanji Temple, the first seat of the Arhat Hall, the Dharma name is Yuanjue! Humph! This person is the first high-ranking person, but he is willing to be the pawn of a false emperor, and he almost ruined the prince's affairs and was killed on the spot. The evidence is all there, and the evidence is conclusive. , what else does the thief bald donkey have to say!"

"nonsense!"

A big monk stared at blood-red eyes and gritted his teeth, "Master is a congenital expert. With you rebels, you can never be Master's opponent! What kind of poison did you use to harm my master!"

Hearing the great monk's words, Zhou Mingguang glanced at Qin Sang calmly.

"Rebel?"

Zhou Mingguang almost laughed out loud, and said sadly: "It seems that there is definitely more than just Monk Yuanjue in the false emperor's lackey in Xuanji Temple. Everyone obeys the order and enters the temple to search for me. Those who dare to disobey will be killed!"

In an instant, the golden drums rang together, and the armor made a 'crashing' sound.

The monks of Xuanji Temple formed a battle formation, and it seemed that they were going to resist to the end.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified, chilling to the extreme.

At this time, Abbot Yuanzhen suddenly closed his eyes, sighed in the sky, and solemnly handed the head in his hand to the monk beside him.

"Amitabha."

Abbot Yuanzhen took a step, "General Zhou, Junior Brother Yuanjue left the Great Sui to travel around the world, and it has been ten years since he returned. He must have just returned to the Great Sui, and he doesn't know the truth. It is absolutely impossible for all the monks to be the servants of the false emperor, please ask General Zhou to learn from them.”

"Abbot!"

Seeing that Abbot Yuanzhen actually meant to plead guilty and accept punishment, the monks of Xuanji Temple were shocked.

Qin Sang was glad that Abbot Yuanzhen could know each other, and it would be best if he didn't make a move.

Zhou Mingguang's tone was a little slower, "The abbot is a monk, and he is highly respected, so he must not lie. However, there are many monks in Xuanji Temple, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed. Isn’t the temple not beautiful? Don’t worry about the abbot, this general will definitely restrain the soldiers and generals, only catch the minions of the fake emperor, and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately.”

……

Bookstore.

Qin Sang looked up at the seven-story pagoda in front of him. He had been fascinated by this place for a long time. Legend has it that all the best martial arts in Shaolin, and all of Shaolin's best skills are in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

However, Qin Sang knew that the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion in Xuanji Temple was just a pretense. There was no superior martial arts in it, but only a few Buddhist scriptures.

The real treasure trove is not here.

Qin Sang turned his head and glanced at Abbot Yuanzhen, who was sitting on the ground in the distance and reciting the Buddhist scriptures silently.

All monks in Xuanji Temple were bound by Abbot Yuanzhen in Daxiong Hall and surrounded by crossbow soldiers.

And Abbot Yuanzhen watched the soldiers evacuated the treasury of Xuanji Temple, and boxes of gold and silver treasures were moved down the mountain like water, and he was still able to have no sorrow or joy, which is really qualitative.

Zhou Mingguang strode forward, glanced away, pointed to an inconspicuous path behind the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion, and shouted loudly: "There is still a road here! Come on, bring a team of soldiers over, give me a careful search, and let go of a rebel. Thief, chop off your heads!"

Abbot Yuanzhen's complexion changed slightly, and a dodge stopped in front of him, "General Zhou is not allowed, the front is the retreat of the patriarch of this temple, so please do not disturb it!"

Zhou Mingguang snorted coldly, "Shit patriarch! If you didn't search carefully, who knows who he is? The abbot is so guilty, could it be that the people inside can't be seen?"

"you!"

Abbot Yuanzhen held the bead with blue veins in his palm, and a bunch of sawdust flowed from his fingers.

"Good! Good! Good! I'll ask General Zhou to search carefully and clear the grievances of this temple! However, the old monk has something to ask. There is indeed a patriarch of this temple in the cliff, and the general is also asked to be accommodating and let the old monk go first. Please leave the patriarch, so as not to disturb the patriarch's skills and make a big mistake."

Zhou Mingguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Abbot Yuanzhen, who had almost forced him just now, was furious. His back was almost soaked in cold sweat, and he waved his hands again and again: "Abbot, please do it."

Abbot Yuanzhen was in front, and Zhou Mingguang followed behind with his soldiers. After a short while, he turned around a stone forest and saw a cliff.

There are countless stone carvings on the cliff, inscribed by once dignitaries, great monks, famous martial artists, and articles by everyone.There is a row of stone steps at the foot of the mountain, connected to a stone road that crosses the cliff, and rows of Buddhist sculptures are beautiful in the stone road.

There are two sides of the cliff in the southeast. The east side is exactly the meaning of the sunrise and the rising sun. It is the retreat of the ancestors of Xuanji Temple.

Zhou Mingguang waited under the stone steps with his soldiers. The old monk went up and invited down the patriarchs. Most of them were old monks who were described as withered. Among them, there were top masters, and there were also great monks who were unfamiliar with martial arts.

Abbot Yuanzhen comforted them one by one, and it was very hard work. Zhou Mingguang let the soldiers pretend to check, and he counted the time silently in his heart.

According to the agreement, he had to delay Qin Sang for at least a quarter of an hour.

At this time, Qin Sang had put on his casual clothes, quietly climbed to the top of the cliff, and waited on the top of the cliff. When he finally saw that the ancestor of Xuanji Temple was invited down the mountain, he immediately climbed down quietly because of the cliff.

Originally, he also prepared a rope. The stone carvings on the cliff are uneven, and he can easily climb with his light skills, so he can't use it.

At the end of the stone path, there is a stone stair extending downward. Qin Sang gently landed on the stone path, and walked down the stone stair without a sound.

The stone steps are very deep and very quiet.

There are some caves on both sides, where the ancestors of Xuanji Temple originally retreated, but now they have been invited down.

If it wasn't for Zhou Mingguang harassing them and forcing them out, Qin Sang would never have been able to sneak in without being discovered.

Finally, at the end of the stone steps, there is an inconspicuous narrow stone crevice in the corner, and the end is deep.

The stone cracks are narrow outside and wide inside, and there are dangerous traps inside, but Qin Sang already knows that, step carefully, avoid all traps, and the stone cracks separate several forks. These are the places where Xuanji Temple puts rare treasures.

Qin Sang went straight to the place where the bell was placed. There were also valuable treasures in the other fork roads, but in Qin Sang's eyes, it was no different from dust, and time did not allow it.

The small grotto is artificially trimmed into a square, and a night pearl is inlaid on the top, which is bright.

There is a stone platform in the middle of the grotto, on which is placed a purple bell, a jade slip and a talisman, covered with colored glass.

On the stone platform there was the last mechanism, Qin Sang groped for the poison arrow, destroyed the mechanism, and opened the glass cover.

Time was pressing, Qin Sang suppressed the excitement in his heart, quickly put away the three things, and quietly exited the grotto.
