In the south, not far from the imperial capital Jinling City, in the backyard of the Zen Temple on the high mountain.

Iron Arrow Zen Master calmly held a fishing rod in his hand, sat on the edge of the fish pond like an old monk settled, threw the fishing rod out at will, and fell into the fish pond, and then the Iron Arrow Zen Master slowly closed his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the surrounding scenery at this moment, a calm state, like a stone statue.

However, what is very surprising is that there is no bait on this fish tank of the Iron Arrow Zen Master, and some are just some weeds that the Iron Arrow Zen Master picked up from the grass on the side, which is incomprehensible.

The Iron Arrow Zen Master's mind moved, and a spirit floated out from his body sitting quietly on the edge of the fish pond.

This soul, unless it is a person with a high level of cultivation, can clearly see it, even if it is a guy like Kumu who is already a leader in cultivation in the younger generation, when this soul of the Iron Arrow Zen Master is beside him, Kumu will only feel something wrong at most, and if he wants to find the soul, Kumu is still a lot worse than his cultivation level.

Soul out of the shell, this method is a method that very few people can know even among the top combat power cultivators, and this is already an extremely difficult high-level secret technique to cultivate.

In addition to the difficulty of cultivation, even if you want to obtain the method of cultivating this secret art, the threshold is one in a thousand, but this kind of one in a thousand is still only one in a thousand among Zen monks.

That's right, this secret technique of soul out of the shell is another Zen monk who is infinitely close to the level of a big man since Bodhidharma researched and created and perfected the secret technique, and at present, the complete cultivation method of this secret technique only exists in a few important Zen temples in Nanli Zen Buddhism.

And the Zen temple where the Iron Arrow Zen Master is located is also the only Zen temple that preserves the initial rubbing of this secret technique.

At present, there are only two monks who have learned this secret technique, and among these two people, there is only one Zen master who has perfected the use of this secret technique.

This secret technique, the Iron Arrow Zen Master, originally planned to wait for this time to be taught to Kudi Xiao after returning from Dongxun's mission to the south, so it won't be long before Judi Xiao will become the third person.

Of course, this secret technique does not have strict requirements for the cultivation level of cultivators, even a rookie like Zhou Budo, who has not even begun to condense his internal strength, can theoretically learn this secret technique, but the degree of exertion of this secret technique will inevitably be judged by the user's cultivation.

Moreover, Nanli Zen Buddhism is indeed the only place where the complete cultivation method of this secret art is retained, but it is difficult to guarantee the possibility that the incomplete cultivation method of this secret art will be passed out, plus in case the guy who gets the incomplete cultivation method is talented, maybe he can also use the incomplete method to retroactively supplement the complete cultivation method, and it is even possible that the cultivation method after being supplemented by those talented guys will exceed the initial rubbing.

However, these are still unknowns, after all, as far as it seems now, the monk with the highest attainment in this secret art continent is still the Iron Arrow Zen Master.

After all, the secret techniques in the world are not endless, there must be tens of millions of them, although the high-level secret techniques in them account for a small proportion, and the high-level secret techniques left behind are very few, even if the Nanli royal family is an empire that has ruled the mainland for thousands of years, even if it is lonely in the back, the Nanli royal family has only seven or eight well-preserved high-level secret arts, and it can be deduced from this that the secret techniques that the royal family of those dynasties may have, at most only one or two.

The reason for the scarcity of high secret arts is also the reason for the proverbial saying

Those who possess high-level occult art can be marquis.

This is not only the contempt of the empire-level countries and the dynastic-level countries for the Hou State, but also proves from the side how great the meaning behind the high-level secret art is.

However, the importance of high-level secret arts is lower than that of top-level combat power cultivators.

After all, things are dead, but people are alive, and if you want to become a top-level combat power level monk, one in a thousand? No, no, no, it can be said that it is one person out of a million, the high-level secret art itself is just an auxiliary exercise, if you want to really have the right to speak, your own strength is the king, the secret art is such a thing, you see that the Iron Arrow Zen Master has learned hundreds of kinds, then he can confidently dare to say that he can fight unevenly?

It's impossible, what can't be beaten is still can't be beaten, the kind of strength gap like a chasm, it is impossible to make up for it by relying on foreign objects like secret arts alone.

The spirit of the Iron Arrow Zen Master pierced through the walls, and after wandering around the entire temple inside and out, it finally stopped under an old tree.

In this season, there are very few fallen leaves on the ground, but the Zen temple still arranges a small novice who sweeps the fallen leaves every day, and the little novice who is responsible for cleaning the fallen leaves today is the well-behaved little novice who is obsessed with Buddhist scriptures and talks to him with a smile that day.

At this time, the little novice was silently sweeping the fallen leaves with the broom in his hand, but the little novice's ears stood upright, and he listened vigorously to the Buddhist scriptures coming out of the Buddhist hall.

Although the distance between the Buddhist hall and the big tree has been dozens of steps, and the sound of Buddhist scriptures coming from the Buddhist hall has become very faint here, the little novice is fascinated by the fragments of Buddhist scriptures that have been listened to a little indistinct.

Although the soul of the Iron Arrow Zen Master seemed to be nothing, the scene that his soul saw was transmitted to the eyes of the Iron Arrow Zen Master's withered body sitting on the edge of the fish pond at the same time as he saw it.

Immediately afterwards, the corners of the Iron Arrow Zen Master's mouth were slightly hooked, this little novice, he had been paying attention to it for a while, after all, the Zen temple was not like the Taoist temple of the old Taoist priest Mude, there were only two old Taoist priests and the little Taoist priest up and down, and the Zen temple of the Iron Arrow Zen Master had thousands of monks, large and small, and the small novice accounted for one-fifth of the number.

As the current leader of Nanli Zen Temple, Iron Arrow Zen Master has no chance to talk about it, but he doesn't have much spare time to care about an obscure little novice.

Even if the father-in-law who accompanied the little novice to shave at that time did not have a low status in the palace, it was just a matter of letting the Iron Arrow Zen Master write down the common name of the little novice a little, and after a few days, the Iron Arrow Zen Master forgot all about the little novice.

Later, the reason why the Iron Arrow Zen Master paid attention to this little novice again was because he saw the interaction between his lover and this little novice, which made him pay a little attention.

At this time, the Iron Arrow Zen Master unexpectedly discovered that this little novice seemed to be born with some inexplicable closeness to the Dharma, which made the Iron Arrow Zen Master interested in this little novice.

He is also a half-way monk, although his talent in Buddhism is indeed extraordinary, but this kind of little guy who is born with a sense of affinity for Buddhism, Iron Arrow Zen Master is the first time to meet it.

This kind of guy who is born with an intimacy with Buddhism, in the memory of the Iron Arrow Zen Master, there are several Nanli Zen Buddhism, and those few people have encountered different accidents after showing this inexplicable intimacy, and finally passed away at a young age, except for one of them, after showing an inexplicable intimacy with Buddhism, he was accepted as an apprentice by an abbot of Nanli Zen Buddhism at that time and cultivated for a few years, and in another accidental accident, he also passed away.

But after the monk died, the abbot found out that the monk had actually given birth to a relic after his death.

The fact that relics, which only exist in Buddhist legends, appeared in a young monk who had been practicing Buddhism for only two or three years, caused quite a stir and was remembered by Buddhist monks, abbots and dignitaries.

Although there is a high probability that this incident was fabricated by the abbot's delusional episode and full of nonsense, it did not affect the Iron Arrow Zen Master to arouse his interest in this little novice.

The relics are not relics, but there is nothing for the Iron Arrow Zen Master to pay attention to, after all, that thing only exists in legends at present, and the ghost knows what the use of the relics called the Buddhist gods is.

What made the Iron Arrow Zen Master interested in this little novice was the inexplicable intimacy of this little novice for the Dharma.

After discovering this, the Iron Arrow Zen Master's first reaction was to protect this little novice and let this little novice practice Buddhism under his own protection.

Zen Master Iron Arrow still wants to see if this little guy who has a natural intimacy with Buddhism will become another Buddhist legend when he grows up?

But then the Iron Arrow Zen Master suppressed this impulsive thought of his own.

After all, his move still seems to be a bit of a sprout, and he is still a Zen monk, so his understanding of Buddhist scriptures is another opinion.

Therefore, the Iron Arrow Zen Master still wanted to let this little novice continue to walk the path he was supposed to take, and he didn't need to use external forces to interfere with this little novice, so as not to let this little novice go the wrong way.

Although he thought so in his heart, the Iron Arrow Zen Master exuded his own breath every once in a while, enveloping the entire Zen Temple, and also set up several powerful formations in the Zen Temple, so as not to let some unsightly guys discover the secret of this little novice and do something crooked about this little novice.

Well, after Xiao'er came back from Toxun's mission, I was asking him what this kid had to do with this little novice.
