Mirroring the changes

Time flies by, and the Lantern Festival Competition is coming soon. (It was originally on the seventh day of the first lunar month, but it was changed to the Lantern Festival.)

Although Li Chen presided over this competition, most of the work was arranged by the six major Zen temples.

The whole temple was enthusiastic.

The location of the competition was set at the Blood Trial Cliff of the Killing Temple.

It was the place where Li Chen and Li Can had their competition before.

When the sky was dawning, the place was already full of disciples.

"Have you heard? The reward for the first place in the competition is a heavenly-level skill!"

"Really?!"

"Of course, it's a sure thing!"

"I also heard that there is a bottle of "Shi Xuan Dan" in the reward. It is said that after eating it, it is like Bodhi possessed, and the enlightenment is amazing!"

"Is it really so magical?"

"Amitabha, if I eat one of them, I guarantee that I can even get enlightenment of "Yuan Tu Sword Technique"!"

"Come on, you? You still have "Yuan Tu Sword Technique", you can only get enlightenment at most!"

This Killing Competition is indeed rich in rewards.

In addition to a heavenly-level skill "Zhu Zhao Jing", there is also a heavenly-level footwork "Blood Sea Fragrance", Shi Xuan Dan, Ten Days Drunk, Red Gold Iron Buddha Chain, Moon Bone Lingxi Beast Card, etc.

The rewards alone are enough to dazzle people.

It can be regarded as the richest session in the past hundred years of the Killing Temple.

And similarly, this time is also the time of the hundred-year prosperity of the Killing Temple.

Every Zen temple has a genius.

There is no need to say more about the Empty Nest Zen Temple.

There was an outrageous monk who was known as the first person in the Killing Temple. Now he has entered the inner realm, but unfortunately he has no chance to participate in the competition because of injury.

Another one, Li Chen has become a Killing Buddha, in charge of the entire Killing Temple, so naturally he can't participate in the competition.

The only disciple participating in this competition is Li Sao.

He practiced another unique skill of the lonely Zen Master "Guanyin Holding Treasure Forty Forms", and received many instructions from his senior brothers. He had many adventures and was highly anticipated.

Monk Libie of Yixin Temple is known as the best in Zen theory of the nine generations. His cultivation is even more outstanding and he is highly valued by the three elders.

Shuangcheng Temple originally thought that without Monk Lican, it would be weak.

Unexpectedly, there was another monk Lihuan, who was usually not very impressive, but he practiced the "Lotus Mahasthamaprapta" that no one had inherited for two hundred years.

He is the favorite to win this competition.

As for Sanbao Temple, although the chief disciple Li Geng is still facing the wall to reflect on his mistakes.

But in addition to him, there are two other favorites, one is the "silent monk" Li Ge, and the other is the "crazy monk" Li Chou.

Li Ge is a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.

He has practiced the "Spiritual and Bright Qi" and has several magic weapons on him, so he can be considered invincible.

Li Chou is more reckless and is like a madman when fighting, so he is also called the "crazy monk".

It belongs to the buff bonus.

The key is that Li Chen also taught him "The Fire of Karma" and "Inviting the Moon to the Empty Shadow", plus the help of the Shadow-Chopping Gourd.

Isn't this a random killing?

The favorite to win the Four Truths Zen Temple is the chief disciple Li Zhen, who has a nickname called "Smiling Monk".

He is particularly good at unorthodox methods: using poison, hidden weapons, traps, etc.

Moreover, his mind is very deep and his calculations are outstanding. If you fight against him, once you fall into a passive position, you will be defeated in advance.

In the Five Laws Zen Temple, the most popular one is the deacon Li Xu.

He was originally a disciple of the Four Truths Zen Temple. Although he is not a genius, his cultivation is solid.

In addition to the elusive mechanical skills now, there is still hope.

In addition to Monk Li Xu, there are two outstanding disciples in the Five Laws Zen Temple, who are called geniuses by Mr. Muduo.

One is Chen Dong, a disciple from Kaiyang City, and the other is Yun Gu, a disciple from Longyang City.

One fights fiercely and makes a series of moves.

The other is deep-minded and moves step by step.

The two people's understanding of mechanical arts is obviously better than that of other disciples.

"Who do you think will win this competition?"

"Hey, you ask me, how would I know?"

"We have to listen to Senior Brother Liqi about this matter."

At this time, the stands around the Blood Trial Cliff were full of people.

At the front of the crowd, a disciple was surrounded by the crowd and sat down.

He had straight eyebrows, cross-eyed, thin, lazy, young, but hunched over.

What made people feel new was that there was a little bird on his shoulder, jumping around, quite smart, and chirping in the monk's ear from time to time.

And the monk seemed to understand, nodding from time to time, and then writing and drawing on the book.

It was Senior Brother Liqi who had not seen him for many days.

"Brother, please tell us."

"Which temple will win this year's competition?"

"Yes, I have to say that this year's lineup of disciples is really amazing."

"Yes, where were there so many geniuses in previous years?"

"Ahem."

"Be quiet! Listen to Brother Liqi!"

Monk Liqi coughed twice, and the little bird on his body chirped.

"Ahem, just as you brothers said, this year's competition is really worth watching."

"Empty Nest, Li Sao; One Heart, Parting; Double Vehicle, Li Huan; Three Treasures, Li Ge, Li Chou; Four Noble Truths, Li Zhen."

"Even if it is the Five Laws, Li Xu is unfathomable and has never shown his true strength."

"As for who will win, I can't judge it now. I have to see everyone's moves before I can have a bottom line."

"Amitabha."

"Brother Liqi is right."

Li Chen passed by and happened to hear Liqi's words.

When the monks saw Li Chen, they hurriedly saluted.

Li Chen pressed his hands, indicating that everyone should not be polite, and continued: "This year's competition is full of dragons and tigers, and it is really hard to guess."

"What the Buddha said is very true."

Li Qi nodded slightly, and the little bird on his shoulder was "chirping", very smart.

Li Chen nodded to Li Qi, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the little bird.

Compared with the last meeting, the little bird had three black feathers on its head.

It looked more smart.

What a good bird.

Chirping.

Soon Li Chen and the three elders and six chief seats walked to the high platform one by one.

At this time, the entire blood test cliff was still full of people.

Li Chen stood up and pressed his hands slightly down.

Suddenly, the blood test cliff, which was originally very noisy, became quiet all of a sudden.

Since Li Chen became a disciple of the Shasheng Buddha, the changes in the Shasheng Temple can be described as "changing with each passing day."

This also makes Li Chen's reputation among the monks even greater.

It is nothing less than respect for the three elders.

"Amitabha."

"Buddha's compassion always makes us reflect on ourselves."

"Zen and martial arts are inseparable."

"This is why my Shasheng Temple holds a big competition every year."

"The rules of the big competition remain unchanged, and the "round-robin method" is still adopted."

"That is: the six major Zen temples take turns to defend and fight, and the winner is counted."

"For example: Yixin Zen Temple first sends out disciples to fight against the disciples of Shuangcheng Zen Temple, and the winner is the defending party."

"Other Zen temples can challenge them until they defeat the disciples of Yixin Zen Temple and become the new champion."

"At this time, if there are new disciples challenging, the defending party can send out disciples of this Zen temple to fight the opponent."

"If the battle is won, it is a success in defending the ring, otherwise it is a failure in defending the ring."
