Chapter 260: Interlude

For the temporary five-person team, Zhang Yifan has always been vigilant.

Every member of this team seemed to be unusual, and even the Qingling Dao people who he didn't think was special before, noticed a trace of something unusual.

Zhang Yifan began to analyze each member of the team in his mind again.

"There seems to be something wrong with that silver lady, and it feels dangerous to me. Secretly test it before leaving, if there is really a problem, get rid of it, and help the Qingling Dao people to help them, so as not to harm other monks. ”

"Why do you feel a little familiar with the Buddha called Chang Nian? He is not someone I know, and I am sure I have never met him. This person gives me the feeling that it is very unusual, it should not be an ordinary casual practice, it is very likely that he is an authentic Buddhist monk, could it be the walking of Qingshan Temple? And he is upright, he really doesn't look like a demon monk..."

"That scholar named Fang Ce, except for his cold temperament and strong strength, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. But why does it feel familiar, yes, hatred too? He should be burdened with a very large amount of hatred, much like I was when I was at Six Doors, that's familiar to me..."

"As for Daoist Qingling, he is very enthusiastic and kind, and he is an orthodox small sect monk. But why did I feel like he was too enthusiastic, which is a bit abnormal. ”

"I used the Mystic Lotus Secret Method to detect a trace of complex emotions, which contained a little death, sadness, and even hatred. This doesn't mean that he has a problem, but he must have encountered something bad, so help him when the time comes, I hope he can return satisfied this time. Zhang Yifan thought about and analyzed in his mind.

Then he began to think about a few things about his trip to the secret realm, making sure that he didn't miss something that needed attention and preparation.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yifan began to recite the "Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutra".

Since Zhang Yifan discovered that he was able to comprehend some of the mysteries of the soul using the Miao Lotus when reciting the "Nine Miao Lotus Sutra" in the later stage of advanced foundation building, he was really happy for a long time.

Zhang Yifan often takes the initiative to use some secret techniques of the soul to try and explore, and after being familiar with the method of use, he cultivates in order to be able to master the use proficiently.

Although the cultivation of the Myolian Divine Soul Secret Method has progressed slowly, he has also gained some gains from persevering, and as he became familiar with and understood the secret method, he discovered more ways to use it.

This kind of secret technique that could probe some of the monk's hidden emotions was a method that he had comprehended and used after trying, and it was something he had only recently figured out.

For ordinary mortals, this kind of divine soul secret technique can easily feel the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in their hearts, and can generally listen to their truest thoughts in their hearts.

For monks, the effect is different, mainly due to the influence of some factors such as the cultivation realm, the strength of the divine soul, and the personality.

The stronger the cultivation, the stronger the divine soul, and the monk with a firm personality or the protection of the divine soul protection magic weapon, the less likely it is to detect the true emotions in the other party's heart, and the emotions they sense are more vague, and may even be fake.

Half a month ago, there was still no movement in the fifth wonder of his "Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutras", and it was always in an obscure state.

This state has lasted for more than ten years, and Zhang Yifan no longer has much hope for comprehending the deeper "Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutras", and reciting it every day is just a matter of habit, which will make him calm and thoughtful.

But since learning the use of this secret method, Zhang Yifan feels that his comprehension of the "Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutra" has begun to become profound, and there have been some changes, and the original obscure scriptures have begun to have a trace of ignorance.

Therefore, Zhang Yifan tried to understand the emotions of other people whenever he had the opportunity, so as to practice the secret art and deepen his comprehension of the fifth wonder of the "Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutra".

Since the secret technique of cultivation was still relatively shallow and not proficient enough, Zhang Yifan's emotional exploration of the Qi refining period cultivator was clearer.

However, it is very vague about the monks in the foundation building period, but they can feel some of them, such as Qingling Dao and Fang Ce, and some can't even talk about it at all, such as Lady Yin and Chang Nian.

Change is good, Zhang Yifan is not in a hurry for a while, he still cultivates step by step, and waits for the opening of the secret realm.

Three days went by in a flash.

According to the agreement, the five of them waited to enter at another secret entrance to the secret realm of Lake Aoki.

At this time, the disciples of the three sects who maintained order at the entrance of the secret realm were all cultivators in the foundation building period, and there were about twenty of them, with a neat lineup, and at the same time, an elder of the Jindan stage was stationed here.

A square at the entrance of the secret realm was bustling with monks, most of them were foundation building stage monks, but there were also some Qi refining stage monks, and the number of them had already exceeded a hundred.

Each monk basically concealed his appearance with a cloak, and appeared very low-key, apparently not wanting to be known. In Zhang Yifan's five-person team, except for Chang Nian, the other four people covered their faces.

Everyone was divided into dozens of groups, most of them had already formed a team, only a few monks did not form a team, and they were alone, but the aura they exuded was extremely powerful, and they were all cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and their strength was not bad.

At this time, there was still an hour before the secret realm opened, and the team of five was in a corner, discussing in a whisper.

"Dao Chief, it seems that there are quite a few monks who are preparing to enter the secret realm at this scene, doesn't it mean that there are a hundred people who have been admitted?" Madam Yin frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Although the specific situation is not very clear, I can guess a thing or two. This time, there must be many Daoists who will return home in defeat and lose a lot of spirit stones. Hey!" Qingling Daoist sighed after speaking.

"It's there again!" Zhang Yifan secretly observed the Qingling Daoist at this time, and found that he had reappeared the kind of emotion that Zhang Yifan had observed before.

"Hmph, there was a disciple of the Xuanhuo Sect who tried to sell me a fake pass order before, and I saw through it, if it weren't for this secret realm, he would have died a long time ago, so we can see what is going on with these three sects. Fang Ce said with a look of disgust.

Fang Daoyou said cautiously, there are three Jindan period monks guarding this place. Qingling Daoren's expression changed, and he hurriedly whispered.

"Hmph!" Fang Ce snorted coldly, and then stopped talking.

Then, I saw Chang Nian cast a golden shield.

"The little monk's Dharma cover can isolate the snooping, and if you encounter prying eyes, you will react, and you can speak freely. Chang Nian said with a smile.

Seeing that Chang Nian could use a magic shield that could isolate the prying eyes of the Jindan period at will, Mrs. Yin's expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed: "Chang Nian's friendly means, the concubine admires it." ”

"It's not worth mentioning. Chang Nian said with a smile.

"Now the three sects account for most of the secret realms in Lingnan Prefecture, and after separating from the Spirit Exorcism Valley, they are closely united, and their strength is no weaker than the six sects. Most of the disciples are family disciples, and they already look down on loose cultivation, and they have acted even more unscrupulously in recent years, so there have been many cases of being deceived. Zhang Yifan sighed.

"Alas, it is true, it is all the fault of the expansion of great strength, and if virtue is not worthy, it will suffer misfortune. Maybe it's a rumor, but the concubine heard that the disciples of the three sects seem to be hunting some loose cultivators who have gained opportunities in the secret realm. What Madame Silver said made the four of them look different.

Chang Nian frowned, as if he was a little displeased, and the Qingling Daoist was silent.

"If the disciples of the Three Sects dare to harm my good deeds, they will be killed!" Fang Ce said coldly.

Zhang Yifan sighed, if this matter is true, the disciples of the three sects are really rotten to the root.

If he encounters injustice in the secret realm, he will definitely intervene, but he is a little hesitant to kill the evildoer, mainly for fear of revealing his identity.

Generally, every monk who enters and exits the secret realm needs to go through the Spirit Retention Array, and if he has killed other monks, he will leave some traces, especially when he kills a disciple of the sect.

This is a kind of deterrent to the monks who enter the secret realm, mainly to prevent the monks from killing each other inside. Generally speaking, sect disciples will be more protected, while casual cultivators will be much weaker. Even if Sanxiu is killed, if he has no background, even if he is punished, it will not hurt.

However, there are still some ways to avoid the detection of the Spirit Circle by killing people in the secret realm, such as framing, luring demon beasts to kill, and some secret methods can eliminate the traces attached to the body.

In order to prevent sneak attacks, this is also one of the important reasons why monks usually form teams when entering secret realms.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost time for the secret realm to open.

"Line up, don't make a noise, show the secret realm pass, pass through the Soul Retention Array, buy traction beads, please go to the shop next to you. The Zhen Miao Sect disciple at the head said to the monks who were waiting to enter the secret realm.

Hearing this, the monks began to line up in an orderly manner, and began to show the secret realm pass order one by one for the last procedure before entering the secret realm.

At this time, there was a commotion ahead.

"What! The traction bead costs five hundred spirit stones, why don't you grab it?"

"What are you yelling about, I didn't force you to buy it! If you make noise and cancel your qualification to enter the secret realm! Besides, if you don't use it at that time, I will return you four hundred spirit stones. The three stewards glanced contemptuously at the young monk with an angry face and said.

"You!" the young monk's face suddenly flushed, and it took a while for him to recover, and he gritted his teeth and bought a traction bead.

Zhang Yifan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange, the actions of these three sects seemed to be too blatant, and they were not good for the reputation of their own sect, they would only make people disgusted.

Generally, a traction bead will not exceed a hundred spirit stones, and the traction beads of five hundred spirit stones are indeed a little expensive even for the foundation building period.

However, the traction bead plays a huge role in the secret realm, not only can it save the time to return to the secret realm, give it more time to explore, but also can get rid of danger when trapped. Most of the monks who came after chose to buy the traction beads, and only a few monks did not.

The queue was moving forward in an orderly manner, and suddenly there was a slight movement in front of it.

"You said that my pass token is fake! I bought it for two thousand spirit stones from a Xuanhuo sect monk who specializes in selling tokens, how can it be fake!" said a middle-aged monk with a beard on his face angrily.

"A fake is a fake, I don't have to lie to you. ”

"Damn the Xuanhuo faction! I'm going to settle accounts with him. The middle-aged monk said angrily.

"Dare to insult my Xuanhuo faction in front of me, I don't think you want to live anymore. One of the Xuanhuo Sect monks who maintained order said to the middle-aged monk with a gloomy expression, and then without hesitation, he took out a fiery red flying sword and attacked the middle-aged monk.

The middle-aged monk would not sit still, and sacrificed a dark yellow shield to resist, and the two fought together for a while. The middle-aged monk's cultivation and strength are not bad, and he actually faintly suppressed the Xuanhuo sect monk.

"Hmph, death to the troublemakers!" a majestic voice suddenly appeared in the ears of the monks, and then a fiery red light flew rapidly from above.

"Magic Weapon!" Some well-informed monks immediately recognized what the red light was, and their faces changed drastically.

"Not good!" Zhang Yifan's expression changed slightly when he saw the red light appear, and he was ready to use Thunder to intercept it.

At this moment, Chang Nian, who was beside him, secretly called out a Buddha horn, and the golden light flashed under his feet, and he crossed dozens of zhang in one step, and when the red light was about to hit the middle-aged monk, he waved a golden golden silk red robe to intercept the red light.

Only then did everyone see that the red light was a small one-foot fiery red flying sword, exuding a powerful aura, and it was a flying sword magic weapon.

The flaming red flying sword that was intercepted did not continue to attack, but shot back.

"Since someone has come forward to take the old man's blow for you, the old man will let you go, and you won't be an example!" Then the majestic voice sounded again.

At this time, the middle-aged monk and the Xuanhuo Sect monk had stopped fighting, and looked at Chang Nian with some surprise.

"Fellow Daoist, leave quickly. Chang Nian said to the middle-aged monk.

"Thank you, Master, for your hand, and take your leave. The middle-aged monk thanked Chang Nian with a fist, and then left the entrance of the secret realm without looking back, and quickly disappeared.

At this time, all the monks on the field looked at Chang Nian's side, with different expressions, and everyone knew what it meant to be able to receive a blow from the magic weapon of the Jindan period monk.

And Chang Nian returned to his team as usual, and then said to the four of them apologetically: "The little monk is a little reckless, and everyone is concerned. ”

"Hehe, the master is benevolent and profound, and he is a model for us. There is no need to worry about such trivial matters. Qingling Daoren said with a smile, he didn't mind, with such a powerful teammate, this trip to the secret realm would be much smoother.

The other three all nodded their heads to indicate that they didn't mind.

Fang Ce looked at Chang Nian for a long time, and said, "I didn't expect that the master was so powerful, and Fang Mou wanted to learn a thing or two if he had the opportunity." ”

"Hehe, the strength of the micro end made Fang Daoyou smile, and after leaving the secret realm, you and I can communicate a thing or two. Chang Nian said with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Yifan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Chang Nian to have such strength.

"That golden light speed is very subtle, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary speed, a bit like the rumored Buddhism is full of magical powers. That golden silk red robe is definitely an opinion inheritance magic weapon, and it is very likely to be a top-level inheritance magic weapon. This Buddhist cultivator named Chang Nian is definitely not an ordinary monk, and he should not be a casual cultivator..."Zhang Yifan pondered.

The episode passed quickly, and the scene returned to normal.

Later, the monks were found to be fake, but with the experience of the past, they could only consider themselves unlucky to leave.

Eventually, about one hundred and fifty monks passed the inspection and entered the secret realm. There were also more than 30 monks who were found out that the pass token was fake, and although the monks didn't say anything, they knew in their hearts that it was absolutely inseparable from the three sects, and they couldn't help but despise the three sects more and more.
