Nian Chan never revealed his wood talent, and with his two-star Bodhisattva realm's light talent, he was naturally not Liu Bo's opponent. :6d

After persevering for another quarter of an hour, Nian Zen took the initiative to admit defeat.

Liu Bo only stayed in Fahua Temple for a short time, no matter what kind of secrets or schemes Nian Chan had, they had nothing to do with him, so Liu Bo just kept Nian Chan's wood spirit root talent in mind and didn't care too much.

Liu Bo successively defeated the strongest Empty Silence and Nian Zen, and took the lead in winning the first place in the competition. The next few battles ended quickly, and in the end, Sora Silence took second place, Nenzen won third place, and Shouzhi and Yan Hua won fourth and fifth place respectively.

Once the ranking is confirmed, the rewards are distributed quickly. Liu Bo's reward was a 500,000-year-old Bodhisattva relic, and it was the first time he saw the relic, and after getting it, he appreciated it well.

Liu Bo pretended to be a light-based monk, and it was naturally a light-based relic that he got his hands on. This relic is the size of a pigeon's egg, with a smooth and round body, and a faint halo on the surface. If it is not identified, Liu Bo probably thinks that this is a superb jade.

After appreciating it, Liu Bo directly ingested this relic into the sea of knowledge.

The relics of 500,000 years of mana are extremely precious, and as long as Liu Bo simply refines them, they will completely become his own mana. Liu Bo's promotion to the three-star Bodhisattva is still very short, although the comprehension of the law has reached the level of the three-star Bodhisattva, but the condensation of mana is still far behind. After having this relic, Liu Bo's shortcomings in lack of mana will be greatly improved immediately, and in future competitions, his shortcomings will also be fundamentally improved.

At the end of the competition, the ten competition places were officially determined.

There are still twenty days left, and the preliminary competition of Lianxi Mountain is about to begin. The meditation presiding host is preparing to open the merit pagoda tomorrow, and after they have been cultivating for half a month, they must set off.

The next morning, under the personal leadership of the presiding officer of Jing Nian, everyone came to the merit pagoda on the mountain behind the Fahua Temple.

The merit pagoda has a total of nine floors, and the whole body is golden yellow. It is 100 meters high, and the entire tower is shining with a faint yellow light.

Standing at the foot of the tower, Liu Bo clearly felt a strong aura of merit, and he believed that even those monks who did not practice the law of merit should feel the same way as him.

"The Golden Pagoda of Merit is the treasure of our Fahua Temple, and it will not be opened easily. You are the first batch of young disciples to enter it, and I hope you will cherish this rare opportunity. Using this half a month of diving time, I can go further. I will turn on the maximum auxiliary effect of the Golden Pagoda of Merit. I hope that all disciples will seize the opportunity and make the greatest breakthrough. Jing Nian admonished.

"I heard that the more eminent monks with great merit, the greater the harvest in the Merit Golden Pagoda, we are too young, except for the Wuxin junior disciples, we have not accumulated much good deeds, I don't know if it will affect the effect of this meditation?"

Jing Nian presided over the beard and smiled: "It seems that you know a little about the Merit Golden Pagoda. The amount of merit accumulated does have a great impact on cultivation, although the enlightenment mind is young. However, the merits are profound, and this time of cultivation, you will definitely be able to gain a lot. The merits of several of you are shallow, and the effect of this retreat can't be compared to that of enlightenment, but compared to your cultivation alone, the effect is definitely ten million times stronger. ”

After a pause, Jing Nian continued, "The more merit the Merit Golden Pagoda accumulates. The stronger the effect of auxiliary cultivation. All the merits accumulated by our Fahua Temple are gathered into the Golden Pagoda of Merit, even if you don't have merit, as long as you cultivate in the pagoda, you can also enjoy the role of the Golden Pagoda as an auxiliary cultivator. Of course, if your own merits are profound, the effect will be even better. ”

Kong Lin and the others were very curious about the treasure of the temple, and just wanted to continue to ask. Suddenly, a voice came from afar: "I heard that your Fahua Temple has just finished the selection, and the ten disciples selected must be outstanding and powerful." In order to strengthen each other and make progress together, I brought ten participating disciples from our Youlin Zen Monastery this time to come to learn from each other, and I also ask you Fahua Temple to give advice. ”

"It turned out to be the Young Forest Zen Academy! It seems that your diving time will be held back a bit, and you will send away the participating disciples of the Young Forest Zen Academy. We will come here again. Jing Nian frowned, secretly worried in her heart.

The retreat plan was disturbed, and everyone felt a little regretful in their hearts, and they were very dissatisfied with the Youlin Zen Monastery that came to make trouble.

The crowd followed Jing Nian and soon came to the gate of Fahua Temple.

"Is it good to have a good master, I brought ten participating disciples of our Youlin Zen Monastery to visit this time, and the master should not blame him?" The Guangfa host of the Youlin Zen Monastery had a hint of provocation in his first words when he met.

"Master Guangfa personally brought his disciples to instruct, and our Fahua Temple naturally welcomed it wholeheartedly, and invited Taoist friends and others to speak. The Jingnian host did not fight-for-tat, but politely invited everyone from the Youlin Zen Monastery into the Zhike Monastery.

The Young Forest Monastery is a first-class temple within the Lianxi Mountain area, which is far stronger than the Fahua Temple. The number of participants in the competition was 50, which was five times that of Fahua Temple. The relationship between the two temples has been slightly tense, and Jing Nian secretly guessed the true meaning of the young forest temple.

After a few polite words, Jing Nian asked directly: "In the previous competitions, the results of our Fahua Temple are rarely comparable to your Youlin Zen Academy, this time our Fahua Temple only has ten places, and there are many opponents who can compete, I don't know why Master Guangfa has taken a fancy to us alone?"

"Since Master Jing Nian asked, then I will also speak bluntly. There are a few disciples of our Youlin Zen Academy who are very talented and have the hope of achieving higher results in the big competition. If this is the case, this is not only a blessing for our Young Forest Meditation Academy, but also a blessing for our entire Lianxi Mountain. For this reason, I want to create better conditions for these disciples, so that they can make this rash visit. Guangfa presided over and said bluntly.

After listening to Guangfa's intentions, everyone in Fahua Temple was a little angry.

Jing Nian frowned slightly, her expression seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and she flatly refused: "Could it be that you Young Forest Zen Monastery still want to enter our Merit Golden Pagoda?" If you are planning to do so, I can't agree to it. The Golden Pagoda of Merit in our Fahua Temple has never been open to young disciples, and this time the disciples who participated in the competition were highly talented, so I made an exception and allowed them to enter the Golden Pagoda for half a month of cultivation, which was already a precedent for our Fahua Temple. The Meritorious Pagoda of our Fahua Temple has never been open to other people outside the temple, and I will never agree to your request. ”

Jing Nian's reply was completely expected by Guangfa, and he said unhurriedly: "Jing Nian's decision to preside. I can totally understand that, but I'm not borrowing your golden pagoda of merit in vain. I have two plans, and Master Meditation might as well listen to them before making a decision. ”

"Since Master Guangfa has the confidence to impress me, then I might as well listen to it, Master Guangfa, please speak. "Meditation decided to listen to the conditions of the Dharma.

"The first plan is: our Young Forest Zen Academy pays a sufficient price, whether it is the best immortal crystal or other treasures, we can discuss. The second option is: I want to fight with you. If our Young Forest Zen Monastery wins, then let these ten disciples I bring enter the Golden Pagoda for half a month of cultivation. I don't know what Master Jing Nian thinks?"

Guangfa then added: "Master Jing Nian seems to have a lot of confidence in your participating disciples just now. I think the second option should be a good fit for you. ”

The request of the Youlin Monastery was somewhat contemptuous of the meaning of the Fahua Temple, and several senior monks of the Fahua Temple were very dissatisfied. Several people secretly transmitted the voice, and after communicating with each other, they unanimously agreed to have a gambling fight with the Youlin Zen Temple.

If it weren't for Liu Bo's sudden rise in the competition, even if the monks of Fahua Temple were angry in their hearts, they would not dare to rashly agree to the request of the Youlin Zen Temple. Now that they are being bullied by the Youlin Zen Academy, they have a hole card like Liu Bo in their hands, if they don't dare to agree to gamble, it will be too shameful.

After discussing it. The presiding officer said, "There has never been a precedent for the merit pagoda of our Fahua Temple to be open to the outside world, and no matter how much you are willing to pay, this principle cannot be changed. Although our Fahua Temple is famous, but it will not lose the spirit of enterprising and winning, since Master Guangfa strongly requests, then I will agree to your gambling requirements. What are you going to bet on, and how are the rules of the gambling game going to be formulated?"

Fahua Temple so readily agreed to the request of the gambling fight, which made Guangfa a little surprised. He was also ready to stimulate a few high-ranking monks in Fahua Temple. I didn't expect that the following preparations didn't have to be made.

"For the items of the gambling fight, our Youlin Zen Academy naturally has to show enough sincerity. We are willing to take out a nineteen-layer forbidden inferior innate spirit treasure and ten relics as items to bet on. The inferior innate spirit treasure will be compensated to your Fahua Temple, and ten relics will be rewarded to the ten contestants. One of the best relics condensed 500,000 years of mana, and the others condensed 100,000 years of mana. I don't know how many masters are still satisfied with such a gambling item?" Guangfa said confidently.

Half a month, although it will consume a lot of merit. But using a top-grade inferior innate spirit treasure as compensation was enough to make up for the loss. The compensation for the ten participating disciples is also full of sincerity, and several senior monks of Fahua Temple have nothing to say about such gambling conditions.

Jing Nian presided over and said: "Such conditions are indeed sincere, since this is the case, then we will agree to this gambling fight." How to arrange the gambling method? Master Guangfa can have a plan. ”

"Since there are ten contestants in your Fahua Temple, I think it is better to choose ten people to fight. The winner of more than five games wins. This plan is the simplest, what do you think, Master Jing Nian?"

"The ten disciples of your Young Forest Zen Monastery have all reached the realm of two-star bodhisattvas, but only six of us in Fahua Temple have such strength, if this is the plan, what is the difference between directly admitting defeat in our Fahua Temple?" Jing Nian retorted directly.

"What does Master Yi mean?" Guangfa asked directly.

"Since your Young Forest Zen Monastery advocates simplicity, then we will simply win or lose, and both sides will send the strongest person, whether it is victory or defeat, it will be decided in one battle!" Jing Nian proposed a more daring plan.

As for the plan of meditation, Guangfa did not directly reject it. The ten disciples he brought were all very strong, and if the winner or loser was determined by ten matches, the Youlin Zen Academy would have the greatest chance of winning. But if it's just a battle to win or lose, the risk for the young forest Zen Monastery is very great. Although the ten disciples brought by Guangfa are all extremely powerful young masters, the strongest one is only the peak realm of the two-star Bodhisattva, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through the three-star Bodhisattva. Although the hope of winning is great, it is not entirely certain.

After the consultation, several senior monks of the Youlin Monastery felt that the plan decided by the First World War was too risky and did not approve of it. Guangfa proposed: "This is an important competition involving ten disciples, and it is a bit too childish to use a duel to decide the winner. Even if you don't have to compete in ten games to decide the winner, you should play a few more games so that most people have a chance to play, so that no matter whether they win or lose in the end, the ten participating disciples will not have complaints. Since you have six two-star bodhisattvas in Fahua Temple, it is better to try five or six games, and this plan should be more fair. ”

The players of the Yulin Zen Temple are obviously stronger than the players of the Fahua Temple, and even if only the disciples of the two-star Bodhisattva realm are sent to the field, the chances of the Fahua Temple winning are not great. The hope of Fahua Temple's victory is mainly on Liu Bo's body, and the Youlin Monastery does not know this news, Jing Nian must use this to fight for the most suitable competition plan for Fahua Temple.

Since it was not feasible to win or lose in a battle, Jing Nian had to retreat and propose again: "Since the victory or defeat in a battle is decided, and you don't approve of it, then let's simply test the overall strength." We each sent six players into the ring, the loser withdrew, the winner continued to play, and the side that was still in the ring won in the end. What do you think?"

This is also a test of overall strength, but it can allow the strong players to play a greater role, and in this way of playing, Guangfa feels that his side should have a greater hope of winning.

After consulting with several eminent monks, he said, "This plan is very fair, and we have no opinion. ”

Now that the plan has been discussed, the two parties did not delay and came directly to the ring.

There are only six two-star Bodhisattvas on the side of Fahua Temple, and there is no need to consider who will appear, and Hui Ke, who is sixth in the game, is the first to play.

The young forest Zen Monastery sent a monk in gray cloth monk's robe, and after the two were simple and polite, the competition began.

Monk Mu Ne is an earth-based Buddhist cultivator, whether it is the supernatural immortal method or the accumulated mana, it should not be underestimated. He and Hui Ke are basically evenly matched, and it is difficult to see which one will win in the end for the time being.
