After coming out of the corpse cave, Yun Qing realized that it was already broad daylight, and Aman was standing there covered in snow, waiting for her. en8.

"Come." Yun Qing called Amang to him, put one hand on him and the other on the square inch lamp, and instantly put him into the lamp.

She had pretty much guessed what happened in the Corpse Cave, and it had little to do with her at the moment. Next, she only needs to go back to the temple and wait for an opportunity to take away the Lotus Heart Void Hidden Concept, and then escape from the Nanfeng Continent.

There is a reason why I want to leave this continent. The three major orthodoxies and two holy places in the south are now in a stalemate. If no decisive changes occur, it is expected to continue forever. In the north, judging from the news that Yun Qing has learned so far, Guiling Temple may have to make big moves, so it will not always be stable. For Yun Qing, the most important thing after acquiring the concept of Lotus Heart Void Tibet is to find a pure place to retreat, whether it is north or south, it is not suitable.

While she was riding the wind towards the Zizi Cliff in the north, she was thinking about how to use the tiny clues obtained from this corpse cave. This may not have much to do with her, but she can still use it. If she grasps it well, she might be able to trap Mianfenglang and Guiling Temple so that they have no time to pursue her.

After thinking about it carefully, Yun Qing quickly arrived at the foot of Zizaiya Mountain.

Just as she was about to borrow a Zen staff to climb up, she saw two young monks coming down from the top. The two young monks seemed to be just outer disciples, and it was quite difficult to climb the cliff. One of them lowered his head to look down the mountain from time to time, and spotted Yun Qing at a glance.

"Senior Yun Qing!" The man shouted excitedly, and another young monk also looked down.

Yun Qing didn't show up much. Most of the time she was either practicing behind closed doors or going to Zizaiya to ask Jueluan for advice, so she felt a little weird when these two disciples called her by name.

"Amitabha, what's the matter with you two?" Yun Qing stopped and said gently.

The two people quickly came down from the top, ran to Yun Qing and said respectfully: "Senior Yun Qing, the master sent us to summon you back."

Yun Qing asked in surprise: "Master?"

"Master Jue Luan will host a grand ceremony in the near future to select a direct successor. It is of great importance, so he has summoned a group of inner disciples to go back." A disciple explained, looking at Yun Qing with admiration in his eyes. meaning.

Yun Qing felt that something was wrong no matter how he heard these words.

First of all, which sect has not carefully prepared for the selection of a direct successor for hundreds of years? Why did this happen suddenly after she had only been away for a month? Furthermore, there are many inner disciples who are profound in the Dharma. These people have gone through a long examination and are capable of being independent. Why bring back a dabbler like her who has never even received a precept? The most important thing is, although it is good that Jue Luan is a direct disciple, shouldn't the selection of direct disciples be carried out by the host, elders, etc.? Why can he bypass everyone and directly handle this kind of thing

Yun Qing thought a lot in just a short moment. She quickly created a mirage to fool the two outer disciples, and then released Amang. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

"Stand still."

Yun Qing raised his hand and placed it on Amang's heart. The black flames spread up bit by bit, twisting into incomprehensible patterns. While using the energy of the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel to mark Amang's body, she used the Heavenly Book to cover up the cause and effect for him.

"Go over there, to the foot of that snow-capped mountain."

Yun Qing pointed to the boundary mountain set up by Guiling Temple and Mianfeng Lang two years ago in the distance and said to Amang.

Amang is not sane, and the risk of crossing the boundary mountain is very high, but she may not be able to escape for a while, so now she can only leave it to him. She had participated in the conversion ceremony at Guiling Temple and even practiced the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. Once she crossed the boundary mountain, she would be noticed. There is no mark on either side on Amang's body, so it is quite convenient to travel between the two sides. The only flaw is that he is a man and cannot enter the Sleeping Phoenix Corridor.

Now there seems to be some changes in Guiling Temple. Keeping Aman away from here can not only save his life but also facilitate Zheng Zhenzhen's contact.

After Amang disappeared into the heavy snow, Yun Qing removed the illusion.

"Amitabha, let's go back to the temple first." Yun Qing clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.

The two nodded repeatedly, and after resting for a while, they climbed to the top of the mountain with Yun Qing. One of them has a Dharma name, Yuan Zheng, and the other has a Dharma name, Yuan Shen. They both grew up in the temple since childhood. It seemed that they were the only ones sent out to summon the inner disciples. Most of the other inner disciples had received ordination, and there were other ways to inform them.

"Master is on Zizi Cliff. I haven't seen anyone before the ceremony. Please go to the monastery to rest first." He had a square head and a big face, and seemed to be a straightforward person.

Yun Qing asked as he walked towards the temple: "Does anyone know the reason for selecting the direct disciple this time?"

Both of them followed her, Yuan Zheng shook his head in confusion, while Yuan Shen had a look of hesitation on his face.

"Yuan Shen, do you know the inside story?" The advantage of the mind is that it is not restricted by the sex itself. Yun Qing can know the expressions of the two people without looking back.

Yuan Shen's face turned pale. He had been in the industry for a long time and knew that selecting a direct successor was not something he could discuss.

Yun Qing said gently: "Just say it, I have to know what I should do when I come back this time."

Yuan Shen thought to himself: "Aren't you coming back to participate in the selection of direct successors?"

When he thought that the person in front of him might be his future direct disciple, his heart warmed up, and he immediately said to Yun Qing: "Senior Lioyuan entered the stupa a few days ago. Master Jueluan must have done it to prevent..."

"Yuan Shen!" Yuan Zheng scolded with an angry face, and then apologized to Yun Qing, "Amitabha, my junior brother is lying. He did not mean to be disrespectful to Senior Yuan."

stupa

Yun Qing was startled. The eminent monks would leave relics after they passed away, and the relics of the eminent monks of Guiling Temple were stored in the relic pagoda. This was somewhat similar to the Yaoque Pagoda in Shiwanda Mountain. However, the Yaoque Pagoda can only be entered but not exited, but the stupa is different. Whenever disciples feel that the end is approaching and the bottleneck is difficult to break, they can go to the pagoda to retreat. If they have achieved Buddhahood, they will come out of the pagoda. If not, they can sit in the pagoda directly and pass away.

In this way, it is still necessary for Jue Luan to select his direct successor at this juncture.

Because the reason why Mienfenglang and Guiling Temple can maintain a relatively fragile balance is because there is not much difference in strength between the two sects. The strength and future future of these two sects are basically determined by this group of direct disciples, and the direct disciples are numerous, with exactly ten people in each sect. Now that Yuan has entered the stupa, Guiling Temple has lost one out of ten chips, so this vacancy must be filled as soon as possible.

Yuan Shen meant that if you entered the stupa, you would probably not be able to get out, so you were scolded by Yuan Zheng.

Yun Qing comforted him: "It's okay, there are many twists and turns in practicing."

Yuan Shen and Yuan Zheng were relieved to see that Yun Qing was a talkative person. Yuan Shen said: "Thank you, senior."

While Yun Qing was running the Heavenly Book to explore the loopholes in the Dharma Protector Formation in the temple, he said casually: "Senior Brother Jueluan has been working very hard lately, right? There was a ceremony, a snowstorm, and the matters at Mianfeng Corridor were also pressing on him. "

"Master has been guarding the top of Zizi Cliff. He only said that he would host this ceremony, and the host is busy with other things." Yuan Shen said euphemistically.

This generation host is of the same generation as Jue Luan, but Yun Qing doesn't know who is higher or lower in terms of cultivation. She slowed down the circulation of her true energy and spread the fluctuations of the Heavenly Book, trying to cover the entire Guiling Temple.

"By the way, has it always been Senior Brother Jueluan who is guarding Zizi Cliff?" Yun Qing suddenly asked.

Yuan Zheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It was Senior Zihong before. Later, Senior Zihong passed away, and his disciple, Senior Jue Luan, temporarily took over his duties."

Yun Qing suddenly remembered the allusion that Jue Luan told her about his master posting books, and he was a little curious about this powerful senior of the generation with the word "zi".

"So, Senior Brother Jue Luan was carefully trained by him. No wonder he is now worthy of such an important task."

Yuan Zheng shook his head again: "Master Jueluan entered the academy after Senior Zihong passed away."

Yun Qing was really surprised now. There are many examples in Buddhism of people who accept disciples after sitting down. Senior masters often have feelings for successors with Buddha nature. Before they die, they point in the direction and ask people to look for them. The disciples then take the senior master into sitting down. The baby born at that time was brought back to the temple and carefully cultivated as a successor.

However, most of these slightly legendary examples were very old, and she didn't expect Jue Luan to be selected in this way.

"When Senior Zihong passed away, the room was full of fragrance, and the sky was filled with music. He pointed to the east where the sun rose, and the seniors in the temple immediately went to investigate. After drawing lots from the golden vase, Master Jue Luan was introduced to the door. It is said that Jue Luan was brought in. Master Luan was able to understand Buddhism when he was still in his infancy, and his aptitude and understanding were both excellent, very similar to Senior Zihong."

Yun Qing compared Jue Luan with Zi Hong in the story. Zi Hong was very talented at Jue Luan's age, but a little frivolous, but Jue Luan had similar qualifications to him, but lacked the impetuousness. Even better than Zihong.

She asked a few more key things, but although these two young monks had been in the temple for many years, they were only outer disciples and didn't know much. After saying a few words, she politely sent Yuan Zheng and Yuan Shen away.

"Zihong, stupa..." Yun Qing held the water in the square cup in his hand and sketched the general appearance of Guiling Temple in the air.

She has already figured out a rough outline of the Dharma Protector Formation. This formation is centered on Zizi Cliff where Jue Luan is sitting and extends towards the surrounding temples. There is almost no difference in the strength of the formation, and there are very few loopholes. The only few minor mistakes are not something she can shake. Since there is no good breakthrough point in terms of geographical location, it can only depend on the weather, timing, and people. With Yun Qing's current level of cultivation, it is almost impossible to use the Heavenly Book to hide the secrets from so many monks with profound Buddhist teachings in Guiling Temple.

This is different from concealing her own destiny. She had just come out of Yaoque Tower not long ago, and there were not many causal factors involved, so it was easy to hide. However, the idea of Lotus Heart Void Hidden Contemplation has been passed down for an unknown number of years, and it involves great cause and effect, so it is difficult to hide it.

The Sutra Pavilion is located in the south of the temple, and Yun Qing must go north if he wants to leave this continent. Since the theft of the real book cannot be concealed at all, and the existence of the protective formation prevents her from breaking through the formation and escaping from any angle, she can only find ways to create opportunities.

"So..." Yun Qing's fingers slid towards the north of Guiling Temple.

The stupa stands in that corner with vicissitudes of life and silence.
