Chapter 25: Conversation at Tianning Temple

Tianning Temple is located in a remote place, in disrepair, the door is rotten and the wall is closed, and there is no temple in the temple to wish the monk.

The two walked into the main hall, and on the dilapidated altar, a statue of the Buddha with a kind face stood in the center, casting a large dim shadow.

"Actually, the place I brought you to is where the treasure is. Isn't that the best proof that I don't need the 'Connecting Cities Sword Technique'?" ”

Zhao Qing's two swords clashed, the blades collided together, and the sparks that came out lit the candles on the altar.

The treasure left by Emperor Liang Yuan is said to be in this remote and uninhabited Tianning Temple? She told me like that defenselessly?

Ding Dian stood behind her, initially a little puzzled. He looked at the furnishings in this large hall, and it seemed that there was no location or space where an amazing treasure could be hidden.

Unless, the treasure is hidden in this huge Buddha statue.

Vaguely, he had already guessed the truth.

Zhao Qing walked slowly to the Buddha statue, and didn't see how she moved, her body swayed slightly, and the long sword in her hand had left a brand new sword mark on the front and back of the Buddha statue's fat belly.

Generally, the Buddha statues are clay sculptures and wood carvings, but when these four swords fall on them, they make a metallic sound of "Zheng Zheng Zheng".

"The treasure left by Emperor Liang Yuan is inside this big Buddha. Anyway, I'm going to hold a jousting tournament in three months' time, and whoever can beat me can get this treasure. ”

"Ding Daxia, I wonder if you are interested in participating? Shen Zhaogong and Shadowless Divine Fist are famous, and you should be the most likely number one master in the world. ”

Ding Dian's internal skills are profound, and his ears and eyes are far more sensitive than ordinary people, although there is only a faint candlelight nearby, but in his eyes, it is no different from daylight.

He looked intently, only to see that the sword marks were deeply imprinted, and a layer of soil on the outside had been pierced, revealing the brilliant golden light inside, and the inside of this Buddha statue was actually gold.

This Buddha statue is more than three zhang high, thick and fat, far beyond the ordinary Buddha statue, such as the whole body is all made of gold, not to mention five or six hundred thousand catties.

Its value is high enough to make the vast majority of people in the rivers and lakes feel uneasy and want to swallow it alone. Even if he is a hero who has been on the right path for many years, he may not be able to change his temperament drastically and lose his self-control.

Ding Dian turned his head to look at Zhao Qing, and saw that her face was indeed a little shocked, but her eyes were clear and clear, and there was no greed.

Unexpectedly, Ling Weisi, Wan Zhenshan, and Yan Daping paid a huge price for the search for the treasure, and they were almost crazy about it, but after all, there was no gain.

A precious treasure located among the Buddha statues of Tianning Temple; And the situation of finding the treasure also seems to correspond to the meaning of retribution in Buddhism.

The greedy who seek hard seek treasures but cannot find them; He who has no greed in his heart has received a true treasure.

The bearded man, who had always been calm, burst out laughing.

"Miss Zhao is broad-minded and intelligent, and I am ashamed of myself."

Zhao Qing blinked and didn't answer, thinking that Ding Dian had overestimated herself.

If the gold in this Buddha statue could be brought back, he would definitely not be so generous.

She was sure that dreaming of the heavens might bring back some spiritual things such as the Five Elements Essence, but mundane things like gold, silver, and jewelry were necessarily not feasible.

Since you can't bring it back, you should use it as much as possible. When it was time for him to leave at the end, he still left it to Ding Dian Diyun and them to deal with.

"This Buddha statue is actually hollow, and there are jewels more precious than gold inside, but they are all coated with extremely powerful poison, and I don't know if I can clean and remove them, but the gold on the outside is obviously not poisonous, and it can be cut off and used."

"If the martial arts tournament I hold is over, no one can beat me, so leave this gold to you, Ding Daxia. I won't be here for long, and I don't need anything outside of my body. ”

"After all, the treasure was originally discovered by the ancestors of Mei Niansheng's family, and Ding Daxia, you are the only heir of Mei Daxia, and it is only natural that you will be handed over to you for safekeeping."

Zhao Qing introduced a few words to Ding Dian, and then went to the outside of the main hall to take some soil and came back, smeared it on the sword marks on the abdomen of the Buddha statue, and covered the golden color on its surface.

Although Tianning Temple has been desolate for a long time and is remote and uninhabited, it is better to be careful to prevent people passing by by accidentally from noticing the abnormality.

Seeing that Zhao Qing had dealt with the traces on the Buddha statue, Ding Dian was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Miss Zhao, when you came with me, between your breaths, the breath was not very long, presumably because of the age limit, and the internal strength had not yet reached the pinnacle of the realm."

"But you can outperform me in light martial arts, could it be that you have practiced the outer martial arts to the point of reaching the peak?"

"Yes, I don't have deep internal strength, and most of my cultivation is external kung fu. Also, what is the pinnacle? Zhao Qing replied.

It's not deep, it's almost nothing.

After penetrating into this world, the qi refining area that Zhao Qing had previously opened up in the meridians with the sword qi refined by the Heavenly Soldier Refining Form Qi Extraction Method had actually been maintained.

When she had free time, she also tried to practice qi.

At present, Zhao Qing has cultivated a small amount of true qi, and he can already wander between the first few acupoints of the Hand Shao Yin Heart Sutra.

It probably took her less than a day and a half, and for ordinary people with ordinary qualifications, this is definitely an outrageously fast speed, and it will take at least several months for ordinary people to achieve this level.

However, in Zhao Qing's own opinion, her progress seemed to be a little slow, and the speed at which she controlled the operation of True Qi was not very satisfactory, perhaps because the external environment here was not as suitable as the main world.

And the yin and yang skills she practiced are more about exercising and developing physical strength, and in Jin Yong's martial arts worldview, it is obviously not among the internal skills.

And there are also a lot of magic missing, such as the kind of volley from a distance of a few feet and feet, and the external force of the air, defeating and killing the enemy, which she can't do. In addition, the effect of healing others is much weaker.

Of course, as one of the main streams of cultivation in the higher martial world, the cultivation of strength naturally has something that cannot be compared with internal strength.

People who only cultivate internal strength and true qi, after the internal strength is consumed, I am afraid that their physical strength is not as good as that of ordinary people, and they can only be slaughtered at that time. In fact, both in terms of durability and explosiveness, the power is superior.

Moreover, he has already obtained the "Heavenly Soldier Refining Form Induction Method" passed down by his master, as long as it takes a while, most of these problems will be solved.

Here, Ding Dian mentioned the two concepts of supreme internal strength and external kung fu reaching the peak, and it sounds like the gap between the two in terms of grade is not big.

Although the pinnacle here should specifically refer to the pinnacle in "Liancheng Jue", it is also worth her reference.

However, Ding Dian suddenly mentioned the realm of internal strength, why is this?

Zhao Qing stretched out his hand and stroked the hair that fell from his cheeks, thinking secretly in his heart.
