Mt. Kongoyama Senbong Temple was originally an orthodox Buddhist temple in the country of Reeda that was loved by local residents.

I don't know when it began, the monks of Xianfeng Temple changed their usual style of compassion and began to obsess into the study of immortal power, and since then they have fallen deeper and deeper into the evil path.

In the process of continuing to go deeper into the temple, Lu Xiao assassinated more Chaos Ninjas, and finally met the "normal" monk who was still sensible.

These monks, who were barely sober, silently chanted scriptures around a corpse-like old monk, and Lu Xiao could confirm the state of this motionless old monk through the Eagle Eye Technique.

He can no longer be regarded as a human being, all the life breath in the old monk's body comes from a long giant worm, surrounded by the monks, the state of this giant worm is quite calm, at least it does not break out and hurt people.

…… However, it may also be that these monks also have the breath of insects in their bodies, and they are regarded as the same kind by giant insects, and Lu Xiao doesn't want to get close to the old monk who possesses insects.

Bypassing these strange monks, Lu Xiao killed the chaotic waves on the roof all the way, crossed the long mountain road, and finally came to the gate of the main hall of Xianfeng Temple.

"Crunch~"

Quietly solving the few monks and soldiers outside the door, Lu Xiao pushed open the door of the main hall with all his might.

The hall was brightly lit, but Lu Xiao couldn't feel the breath of the existence of a living person here at all, the surrounding area was full of stench and decay, and occasionally a basin-sized mutant cockroach flew through the air.

At this moment, the old monk in the center of the main hall who looked like a dry corpse suddenly spoke.

"Stranger, I didn't expect that someone would be able to break through the monk array outside and come to the main hall."

The old monk in the green robe sat motionlessly on the futon in front of the Buddha statue group and lowered his head, but he was keenly aware of Lu Xiao, who had just entered the main hall.

"Suck and Suck ~"

The shriveled nose twitched twice, and several thick centipedes came out of the old monk's nose and burrowed into his eyeless eye sockets, Lu Xiao felt sick for a while.

"Can't smell the water of the source, outsider?"

"Whatever your intentions, sit down and listen to the poor monk's confession."

The old monk seemed to be unable to move for a long time, and even the tone of his speech was slow, as if he would immediately lose his breath if he said a few more words.

Lu Xiao vigilantly kept a distance from the old monk: "Monk, if you have something to say, just say it, your temple makes me dare not relax my vigilance for a moment." ”

"Hehe~ That's right."

The old monk smiled self-deprecatingly: "The poor monk is the current abbot of Xianfeng Temple, where should we start?" ”

"Donor, the poor monk needs to sort out his thoughts before telling you what happened, during this time, the donor may wish to go to the cave on the west side of the main hall to find a scripture called "Yonglu Sutra".

"Eternal Travel?"

Lu Xiao frowned: "Monk, what is your purpose?" ”

"The poor monk has already said that I just want to atone for my sins, and I hope that the donor can fulfill my last wish."

Lu Xiao's purpose in going to Xianfeng Temple was to find the Immortal Slash, and this forbidden weapon was sealed in the inner hall of Xianfeng Temple, and if you want to enter it, you must get permission from the owner of the inner hall.

Lu Xiao roughly remembered that before entering the inner hall, he had to pass a fantasy test, and if he wanted to enter the illusion, he had to ring a bell first.

The bell as a key prop is placed on the table behind the old monk, and after ringing the bell and entering the environment, Lu Xiao's body has a high probability of being in a state of defenselessness, and the risk of breaking through the bell is too great.

After weighing it, Lu Xiao decided to temporarily help him retrieve the scriptures according to the old monk's request.

"Yes, in exchange, I would like to meet with Miko Changwa."

"Thank you donor, but it's up to her to decide whether the child wants to see you or not, and I can only provide you with a way to be tested."

……

The cave mentioned by the abbot is not difficult to find, not far from the west side of the main hall, and there are some strange humans with sharp claws on their hands and moving on all fours in the cave.

Lu Xiao didn't alarm these strange creatures of unknown origin, turned on the breath and bypassed them, and smoothly came to the deepest part of the cave.

In the small hole** sat neatly a row of dead monk corpses, most of these corpses had turned into dried corpses and skeletons, and there were even some dead bugs crawling on their bodies.

"Worm appenders? How did he die? ”

Lu Xiao looked at these dead monks in puzzlement, unable to understand how the insect appenders sat here.

In the row of monks, a skeleton in a blue monk's robe had several dirty scriptures falling in front of him.

"Whew~"

Blowing off the dust on the surface of the scriptures, Lu Xiao can see three big Chinese characters from the covers of these books - Yonglu Jing.

"That's it."

"Wow~"

Just as Lu Xiao was about to turn his head and leave the cave, a breeze blew from nowhere, causing an eerie echo in the cave.

"There's wind here?"

Lu Xiao took advantage of the night vision ability brought to him by the eagle's pupil to observe the cave, and sure enough, he found a small hole above the row of seated monks.

Throwing out the hook lock and pulling himself up, Lu Xiao walked through the cave with his waist and left the gloomy cave from the other end.

The rotten air in the cave really smelled bad, and when he breathed fresh air again, Lu Xiao couldn't help but move his body in place.

The area of Xianfeng Temple is very vast, and counting the time it took to find the way when he came up, it had been several hours since Lu Xiao left the castle town of Reeda Castle.

I looked up at the time, and it was already past 3 o'clock in the morning.

'Hurry up and try to get back to the castle before dawn, lest you arouse the suspicion of the little surname and the stringichiro behind him. ’

The exit on the other side of the cave is located on a cliff, which is completely unconnected to the main building of Xianfeng Temple, and only a small Buddhist hall stands alone in the middle of the cliff.

Out of curiosity, Lu Xiao opened the dusty door of the Buddhist hall to search, and accidentally found a secret book that recorded the boxing routines of Xianfeng Temple.

"It turns out that this is a secret Buddhist hall that collects secret books, no wonder it hangs alone on an independent mountain."

From the edge of this cliff, you can see the main hall of Xianfeng Temple from a distance, and Lu Xiao doesn't want to drill that cramped cave anymore.

After roughly calculating the distance, Lu Xiao accelerated his speed and ran on the cliff platform, and when he came to the edge of the mountain wall, he kicked hard and jumped out.

Under the wild momentum brought by the speed, Lu Xiao quickly approached the hill where the main hall of Xianfeng Temple was located.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the valley, Lu Xiao threw out the hook lock to the pillars on the outer layer of the main hall, and let himself land firmly on the square in front of the main hall by swinging.

Back in the main hall, the abbot of Xianfeng Temple was still sitting motionless on the futon.

"Donor, you're moving far faster than I predicted, but the poor monk has already sorted out the ins and outs of the matter."

The abbot raised his bug-strewn left hand and pointed in front of him, where there lay an unspread book, the ink on which had not yet dried, apparently just written.

Lu Xiao showed the covers of several Yonglu Sutras to the abbot: "I also got what you wanted." ”

"Thank you, donor, please give these scriptures to the child who has locked himself up in the inner sanctum and does not want to come out."

"The poor monk didn't dare to ask for her forgiveness, he only hoped that she could understand the truth behind the immortal power of Xianfeng Temple's research through the reading of the Yonglu Sutra."

"Click~"

After saying this, two thick insect legs stretched out from under the old monk's robe, and the two insect legs buckled the ground one after another, allowing him to maintain a cross-legged posture and move strangely, and soon disappeared in front of Lu Xiao's eyes.

"Go, I hope that child is willing to meet with outsiders who are not from the background of Xianfeng Temple, and I sincerely hope that the donor will get her approval and end our endless sinful life."
