The Buddhist temple at the highest point of Mantou Hill is called the Mahavira Hall, and it is majestic. Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in the hall, with a dignified appearance. An old nun was kneeling on the futon, with his eyes closed, chanting sutras, and gently tapping the wooden fish with one hand.
Dododo, dododo…
This old nun is the head of the Emei Sect, Master Jiexin, and the wooden fish she knocks is also the water wooden fish that Ning Tao has repaired.
Ning Tao has been standing in front of the palace door waiting for at least half an hour, but Master Jiexin has been chanting sutras with her eyes closed the whole time, without even looking at him, let alone talking to him.
Ci En stood outside the palace door with her hands tied, silent and calm, as if listening to Master Mie Xin reciting sutras was a very enjoyable thing.
After a while, Ci Xin also came, and stood cautiously at the foot of the steps, not daring to get close, as if he was afraid of disturbing Master Mie Xin's chanting.
Ning Tao was bored when he saw Ci Xin and suddenly remembered something. He stepped back from the steps and stood with Ci Xin.
Ci Xin glanced at Ning Tao, looking a little nervous.
Ning Tao whispered: "Little Master Cixin, I just remembered something."
"What... what's the matter?" Ci Xin's voice was even lower.
Ci En looked back at Ning Tao and Ci Xin, with an unhappy look on his face.
Ning Tao pretended not to notice, and said: "Last time at Liu Shiba's flea market, you didn't speak like this. You stuttered a lot, but this time we met, you didn't stutter at all. What's going on?"
When he came, he was thinking about the skull fragments of the Emei Sect and Zhu Hongyu. How could he notice such small details. I was so idle right now that I remembered it out of nowhere.
Ci Xin whispered: "Master has told me to be careful when going out, not to talk to strangers, and not to talk to anyone who asks about things here. I just thought, I might as well pretend to stutter, so that no one will follow me. After talking, those who want to inquire naturally don’t want to talk to a stuttering person.”
What a wit!
Ning Tao couldn't help but give Ci Xin a thumbs up. This young master, who seemed to be extremely honest and honest, actually deceived even him, an "old fox". It is true that the waves in front push back the waves in the Yangtze River, and the waves in front die on the beach.
Ci En turned around and glared at Ci Xin.
Ci Xin quickly closed her mouth, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, not even daring to look at Ning Tao.
Ning Tao felt unhappy and simply whistled. He has been waiting for more than half an hour, which is enough to save his face, but Master Miexin is still sitting there knocking wooden fish and chanting sutras, doo doo doo, beep beep beep, he can't wait like this forever, can he
"Doctor Ning, please respect yourself." Ci En stopped him.
Ning Tao pretended not to hear and continued to whistle.
At this time, the sound of wooden fish in the Buddhist hall finally stopped, and the sound of chanting sutras also disappeared.
Master Mie Xin opened her eyes, and then stood up from the futon. Her voice came from the Buddhist hall: "Ci En, Ci Xin, you two, please go down. I will talk to Donor Ning."
"Yes." Ci En and Ci Xin responded respectfully, and then retreated.
Master Jiexin said again: "Almsgiver Ning, please come in."
Ning Tao entered the main hall, put his palms together and bowed three times, then knelt on the futon and bowed three times. Respecting other people's beliefs is not only polite, but also a form of communication. He has done enough etiquette here, and it will be more convenient when talking about things later.
While worshiping Sakyamuni Buddha, Ning Tao observed Master Jiexin with the corner of his eye.
Master Miexin looks to be in her early sixties. She is tall and thin, with thin cheeks and deep and sharp eyes, giving people the impression of great wisdom and unfathomable depth.
With just one glance, Ning Tao withdrew his eyes from the corner of his eye. After worshiping the Bodhisattva, he stood up from the futon with a smile on his face: "Junior Ning Tao, pay homage to the Master of Destruction of Heart."
Master Miexin looked at Ning Tao, still silent.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "Master of Destroying Heart?"
Only then did Master Mie Xin speak: "I have heard of your name and some of your deeds from Master Fakong a long time ago. At that time, I was thinking about what kind of person you were, but today I didn't realize it when I saw you. When I think of being so young and so powerful, I feel really old.”
Ning Tao said: "Master, you're welcome, I'm here this time..."
But before Ning Tao could finish his words, Master Mie Xin suddenly slapped him with his palm.
Ning Tao was caught off guard, and by the time he reacted, he had already been hit with a palm in the chest. Under the huge impact, his feet flew off the ground and his whole body was thrown back. In the void, he took two steps to offset the impact on his body, and then landed on the ground.
This palm, if it were not for the Tianbao Dharma Clothes, Ning Tao would definitely be seriously injured.
Master Miexin stared at Ning Tao, her eyes full of surprise: "Ci'en said that you used your chest to welcome the nine swords of the Nine Heavens Sword Formation. The poor nun didn't quite believe it, but now you forcefully accept the poor It seems like what she said is true."
Ning Tao laughed angrily: "You slap me just for this?"
Master Mie Xin did not explain anything, but asked again: "I can't understand, how did you break the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Sword Formation? Even Master Fakong couldn't understand the ninth level of the formation. Can’t be broken.”
Ning Tao's voice was slightly cold: "Master Jiexin, I respect you as a senior, so I won't argue with you about what happened just now, but if you go too far..."
"What will happen to you?" Master Miexin looked at Ning Tao with burning eyes.
Ning Tao calmly opened the small medicine box and took out the refined shell gun: "I will dismantle your place."
"Hahaha..." Master Jiexin laughed loudly.
Ning Tao added: "I just need to move my fingers a few times."
Master Mie Xin's laughter stopped abruptly, and her voice was cold: "What an arrogant boy, I have lived for hundreds of years and I have never seen such an arrogant cultivation doctor like you. You are talking nonsense here and are disrespectful to the Buddha. You Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Ning Tao sneered: "Kill me? I dare to come here alone, and I'm not afraid of what you will do to me. I tell you the truth, as long as I want to leave, no one in this world can stop me, do you want to Try it?”
Although Master Mie Xin is the leader of a major cultivation sect like the Emei Sect, he must be very powerful, but he has the life-saving cultivation skills and the ultimate escape method. If he really wants to leave, Master Mie Xin will really Can't stop him. Moreover, when the fight started, he had the Tianbao Dharma Clothes at his disposal. It was hard to say whether he could withstand the blows of Master Miexin. It was hard to say whether Master Miexin could withstand the bullets of the refined shell gun. As for the Grand Palace, it is really a trivial matter that can be overturned with just a few shots.
"Amitabha!" Master Mie Xin proclaimed the Buddha's name, and his tone returned to normal: "It is a sin to open and close your mouth to tear down the Buddha's hall in this great hall. The nun said he wanted to kill but he didn't have the intention to kill. He just wanted to test you. , why should you take it seriously?”
Ning Tao said calmly: "What would you think if I shot you and then told you that I was unintentional and had no intention of killing?"
Master Mie Xin was not angry, and said calmly: "I heard Master Fakong talk about your clinic, and I also know that you have the means to repair magic weapons. You took the initiative to contact the disciples of this poor nun, and wanted to repair the flying sword for this poor nun. , You don’t want to help others, do you? I’ve tried it all, but I still can’t see through you. Just tell me, what do you want from me?”
Ning Tao couldn't help scolding Master Fakong in his heart, but he said calmly on his face: "I think the master has guessed what I want, so I won't beat around the bush. I just want to be with you when I come here." You make a deal, I will repair the flying sword for you, and you give me the scarlet jade skull in your hand. In addition, I also want to know what happened back then, and why did you kill her? "
"You really came here for that skull." A glimmer of light flashed in Master Miexin's eyes.
"Will you make this deal with me?"
"That thing is a very dangerous thing. Once it appears in the world, there will be trouble in the world. You are so deliberately trying to get it. What do you want to do?" Ning Tao said: "How do you know that thing is a big evil thing, and there will be trouble in the world." Is it dangerous? What I know is that as long as the dosage is appropriate, it can treat people with epilepsy and total paralysis. Why don’t you tell me what happened back then and let’s analyze it together.”
Master Mie Xin was silent for a moment, and then walked behind the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha.
Ning Tao awakened the sight and hearing skills of his eyes and nose. In an instant, the innate aura of Master Miexin came into his sight, and his spiritual power was strong. What's even more bizarre is that a golden little man can be vaguely seen in the aura surrounding her head.
Ning Tao was surprised and secretly said: "Is that golden little man the legendary Yuanying? It seems that her Yuanying is not strong yet. That guy Chen Pingdao is much stronger. After all, his Yuanying is I can get into the body of a dog.”
Chen Pingdao has practiced for more than two thousand years. No matter how stupid his qualifications are, the stupid bird will fly first. If he accumulates a little progress, his cultivation level will reach a very high level.
In terms of spiritual power cultivation, Master Jiexin at the Nascent Soul stage is definitely much more powerful than the cultivation doctor at the Pill Formation stage. However, his elixir was as big as a volleyball, and even Chen Pingdao couldn't believe it. Coupled with his identity as the owner of the Tianwai Clinic, his skills and methods to survive beatings, and some magical weapons exclusive to the middleman between good and evil, he would not be afraid at all if the Heart-Killer Master really wanted to fight him.
However, if the matter did not reach the point where he had no choice, he would not be willing to quarrel with Master Miexin. After all, he came here not to fight, but to find the recipe for Zu Dan.
Immediately after Master Miexin's innate aura came into view, thousands of scents also poured into Ning Tao's nostrils. At that moment, he caught a hint of a familiar smell—the scent of the Buddha's incense, a special pigment inscribed with the recipe for Xunzu's elixir.
Two seconds later, Ning Tao located the source of the fragrance in front of the Buddha, which was behind the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. At that moment, he ended the state of seeing with his eyes, and only retained the state of smelling with his nose.
Master Miexin suddenly turned around and glanced at Ning Tao.
Ning Tao smiled back, as if he had done nothing.
Master Miexin stepped over the Buddha statue and walked around behind it, out of sight.
Ning Tao wanted to follow him and take a look, but after thinking about it he gave up. He didn't do anything, but Master Mie Xin was always on guard and testing him. If he followed, Master Mie Xin wouldn't think he was trying to steal something.
He really didn't dare to grab it. Regardless of whether there was a magic circle mechanism behind the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, if Master Jiexin was cornered and she destroyed the skull fragments, she would regret it.
A few minutes later, Master Miexin returned from behind the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha with a dark wooden box in her hand. That box is also a kind of spiritual material. There is a name called "Black Flower Pear" in the "Compendium of Spiritual Materials". Buddhist cultivators and Taoist cultivators like to use this spiritual wood to turn beads and make Buddhist beads.
When he saw Master Miexin taking out the box, for a moment Ning Tao thought she had taken out the scarlet jade skull fragments, but the smell of the incense in front of the Buddha still came from behind the Buddha statue, which meant that She didn't take it out. Then, he found out what was in the black pear flower wood box.
Sure enough, Master Miexin handed the black pear flower wood box to Ning Tao: "This is my flying sword. You need to repair it first, and then we can talk."
Ning Tao took the box over, opened it and took a look. The box contained a bunch of flying sword fragments. Those fragments were silver, filled with aura, and full of runes. At first glance, they looked like powerful magic weapons.
Ning Tao took one look and closed the box, turned around and left with the box in his arms.
Master Miexin was stunned for a moment. She thought Ning Tao would bargain with her, but she didn't expect that Ning Tao didn't even say a single unnecessary word.
Outside the main hall, a slight smile appeared on Ning Tao's lips: "You want to trick me? Although you are several hundred years old, you are still a bit green when it comes to tricking people."
Master Mie Xin obviously couldn't hear these words.
