The strange way of moving the abbot of Xianfeng Temple made Lu Xiao a little creepy, and he was relieved to confirm that the old monk had indeed left the main hall through Eagle Vision.

A brief look at the handwritten book left by the abbot recorded the origin of the "worm" and the real reason why the monks were persistent and studied immortality.

According to the abbot's handwriting, it is speculated that the insects that enter the human body to parasitize originally came from the main water source that flows through the country of Ashina, that is, the source water that the locals worship every year according to custom.

According to the summary and analysis of the information collected by Senhoji Temple over the years, it can be roughly known that the source water comes from the valley of the fall, and then merges into the rivers of the reed name country throughout the country.

People in this era have not yet developed the habit of drinking cooked water on a large scale, and many people drink clear and unpolluted river water on the spot when walking in the wild.

Anyone with a modern education knows that raw water contains a lot of parasites.

It is because of this that the undead insects that are mixed with the source water enter the bodies of some of the inhabitants of Akina Province who drink raw water, and they become insects without even being aware of them.

Being parasitized by bugs is certainly not a good experience, but the monks of Xianfeng Temple accidentally discovered a problem while studying these parasites.

A monk parasitized by this strange insect will not die even if he is seriously injured, just like the "incorruptible golden body" mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures.

At that time, the presiding master Xianfeng and the senior monks in the temple were ecstatic, they thought that the insects were the trials and rewards given to them by the Buddha, and under the influence of the insects on the minds of the monks, they gradually fell into the in-depth study of the power of immortality.

Over the years, Senboji has gained a lot of valuable information that outsiders can't know, and they have even begun to pursue the Palace of Origin and the Sakura Dragon, which is the source of immortal power.

The success rate of the experiment of the son of the change was quite low, most of the war orphans abducted by the Chaos Wave died in the experiment, and only one lucky little girl survived the experiment and possessed some of the abilities of the orthodox son of the dragon.

However, the son of Changruo, who was used as an experiment, hated the executioners of Xianfeng Temple, and the moment she gained power, she permanently closed the door to the inner hall, using the illusion that already existed in Xianfeng Temple to completely isolate the inner temple from the outside world.

Unless with her permission, it is impossible for ordinary people to see her in person through the trials of illusion.

Years of hard work have been in vain, and the current host of Xianfeng Temple has finally woken up from his fanatical pursuit of immortality under the empowerment of Daigo.

However, at this time, it was already too late, and most of the monks in Xianfeng Temple who had been concentrating on practicing Buddhism fell into madness under the erosion of insects, and a small number of high-level officials who were still awake were also lost in the study of immortal power.

The abbot of Xianfeng Temple, who was also deeply parasitized by insects, was powerless to stop the crazy behavior of his monks, and he had always hoped that an outsider could break through the guards of the monk formation, enter the illusion to communicate with the son of Changruo and gain her approval, and use the immortal slash to end the never-ending pain and madness of Xianfeng Temple.

The Yonglu Sutra obtained by Lu Xiao in the cave tells in more detail the results of Xianfeng Temple's research on the power of immortality, and they even deduced the origin of this alien dragon species through the existence of the cherry dragon - from the Ming Kingdom on the other side of the western sea.

"Sure enough."

When Lu Xiao first played the game, he felt that the cherry dragon was very similar to the description in traditional Chinese culture, and the ending of the dragon's return to the hometown was even more crazy, indicating that the next game would go to the other side of the sea to find the source of the cherry dragon.

However, Lu Xiao's world mission did not require him to go to the Ming Kingdom, and if it was not necessary, Lu Xiao did not plan to make a fuss about this matter, after all, his vast motherland was much deeper than the island country of Japan.

As for the third task, without any clues revealed, Lu Xiao ignored it for the time being, and it was an unnecessary task anyway.

"Jingle Bell~"

Picking up the phantom bell on the table and shaking it gently, the refreshing crisp bell pulled Lu Xiao's consciousness into a magical spiritual space.

The main building of this space is still a Buddhist temple, which may be related to the life experience of the builder of the illusion.

The screen facing the entrance to the illusion is painted with three monkeys of different shapes, and there is only a blank space on the last screen.

"Ah...... It's time for the monkey catching part that I hate the most. ”

Lu Xiao patted his forehead helplessly, he had put a lot of effort into catching four monkeys before, and it was more difficult for him to catch monkeys than to fight bosses.

"First ......"

"Squeak!"

As Lu Xiao suddenly grabbed behind him, an invisible monkey let out a panicked cry, and was grabbed by Lu Xiao's big hand by the neck.

"Walk you!"

Picking up the monkey, he threw it towards the blank screen without paintings, and as the monkey melted into the screen, a figure of an autistic monkey with his back to Lu Xiao appeared on the surface of the screen.

After all, the eight weeks are not played in vain, and after catching the most neglected phantom monkeys, the remaining three are relatively simple.

The monkeys here are actually controlled by the souls of the dead Sons of Changeling, who are just trying to keep out the bad guys who try to reach and harm their fellows.

The Buddhist temple located in an independent space brings people a sense of solemn tranquility, and Lu Xiao also met a monk of Xianfeng Temple who was here for some reason in the process of searching for the three monkeys.

Unlike the other monks of the temple, the ascetic-looking monk did not show any signs of being parasitized by insects.

"Monk, who are you and why are you in this illusion?"

"Who am I?"

The monk scratched his head a little dazedly: "I don't remember, I came here to practice, and this quiet place is more suitable for me to realize the true Buddha path than the disturbing outside world." ”

"Donor, are you here to catch monkeys too?"

The monk sighed: "5 years? Or 10 years ago? There was once a female benefactor who entered the illusion and tried to catch the monkeys. ”

"It's a pity that after many failures, the female donor finally chose to give up, I hope the donor can be more patient."

The monk, who couldn't remember his name, explained to Lu Xiao that the three monkeys were called Guan Monkey, Wen Monkey and Yan Monkey.

From the name, you can roughly guess the abilities they have.

The observation monkey has good eyesight, the smell monkey has excellent hearing, and the speech monkey is good at inciting phantom monkeys to attack their pursuers.

'A few years ago, someone came looking for the Immortal Slash? ’

Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully, "Could it be the two previous generation Longyin groups named Zhang and Ba?" ’

Zhang is the son of Long Yin of the previous generation, the gender is unknown, and Ba is him (she?) ), the dragon yin blessed of the previous generation.

Judging from Yongzhen's description of his master Daoxuan, the unusual disease of dragon cough was once widely spread in the country of reeds.

Lu Xiao speculated that it should be caused by Ba, who was the blessed person of Long Yin, who had died too many times in the process of searching for a way to cut off immortality, and unconsciously absorbed the vitality of other residents of the land of reeds.

The image of Zhang and Ba has never appeared in the wolf game, and the experience of these two can only be understood from the descriptions of other characters.

Ba is a beautiful and skilled female samurai, and even Ashina Isshin will be stunned by her appearance and temperament, and will almost be killed on the spot by the angry Ba.

Ashina Kenichiro also learned from Ba Bai Shi, and learned from her the sword technique of Ba no Lei, which is known as the method of heresy, and the flying floating boat.

From the guilt-filled records in the letters left by the abbot of Xianfeng Temple, it is speculated that when Zhang and Ba came to seek the immortal slash, the abbot of Xianfeng Temple, who had not yet fully understood, deliberately hid the immortal slash in the inner hall on the other side of the illusion to prevent Zhang and Ba from finding it.

And Ba should have failed to pass the trial of the illusion, and naturally he did not get the immortal slash, and he failed to achieve the immortal severance sought by the son of Long Yin.

'Strange. ’

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao suddenly discovered a paradox.

'Since both the son of Longyin and the blessed person of Longyin are immortal, what is the matter with Zhangheba? ’
