Shangqing Temple, a very ancient sect of Buddhism.

It can even be traced back to the Burning Sky Age 5,000 years ago.

In terms of time, its history is longer than that of the Guiyuan Sect.

However, unlike the Guiyuan Sect, Shangqing Temple has not been suppressed by the three holy places, and after thousands of years of continuation, it has a very good heritage.

Even though there are many factions in the Western Regions, it is still firmly among the top three.

Therefore, the location of Shangqing Temple is very easy to inquire.

Xu Mu barely spent much time to find out the location of Shangqing Temple.

After a month-long camp, a young man finally appeared under the mountain gate of Shangqing Temple.

The sky was slightly dark.

The gray clouds are pressed very low, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

Xu Mu stood at the foot of the mountain and raised his head gently, his eyes swept over the quaint stone tablet engraved with Shangqing Temple, and a smile finally appeared on his slightly tired face caused by many days of travel.

"Shangqing Temple has finally arrived, this Western Regions is really big. ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xu Mu sighed, and then walked straight and stepped on the stairs leading to the mountain gate of Shangqing Temple.

Shangqing Temple, the pressure is solemn.

Because it is a pure place of Buddhism, it is far away from the hustle and bustle of mortal world.

It is not as noisy as other sects, peaceful and quiet.

Click!

Xu Mu was wearing a green shirt, and the slight sound of his footsteps on the stone staircase was unusually eye-catching because the surroundings were too quiet.

After a short rest, Xu Mu had already walked in front of the mountain gate of Shangqing Temple.

At the mountain gate, there happened to be a small novice holding a broom, who seemed to be sweeping the dust in front of the mountain gate.

Seeing Xu Mu's arrival, he immediately stopped the movements under his hand and looked at Xu Mu with a curious face.

Xu Mu smiled kindly at Xiao Shami, clasped his hands together, and said softly, "The little master is bothered." ”

This little novice was only six or seven years old, and the broom in his hand was a cut above him.

In addition, there are very few outsiders coming to Shangqing Temple on weekdays, and Xiao Shami didn't know how to respond after seeing Xu Mu take the initiative to salute.

After scratching his bald head with his fingers, he also smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of leaky teeth that were missing a few front teeth.

At the same time, his immature voice also sounded: "Big brother, is there something wrong?"

The other party is still young, and he should not be familiar with the etiquette such as the title of Buddhism, Xu Mu didn't mind, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he asked slowly: "May I ask if Master Guigu is in the temple? I am a friend of Master Guigu, and I am here to talk about it." ”

"Are you looking for Uncle Guigu? Yes, big brother, wait a minute. Xiao Shami nodded hurriedly, and then directly threw down the broom in his hand, and ran to the Shangqing Temple without looking back.

However, before he could take a few steps, a thin figure suddenly appeared and blocked his way, and the little novice stopped his steps and hit the figure headlong on the lower abdomen.

"Ouch. ”

The little novice fell, grinning with bared teeth.

The thin figure is a middle-aged monk, compared to ordinary people, his physique looks a little short, and he wears a somewhat white monk's robe on his body.

In terms of appearance, the whole person is almost the same as the monks of those monasteries in the mortal world.

But in his bland pupils, there was an occasional flash of attacking essence, which was something that no mortal had ever had.

The thin monk gently helped the little novice up, and reprimanded him in a slightly reproachful voice: "It's all empty, how many times has the master and uncle passed, the pure place of Buddhism, you can't babble." Also, it is necessary to call the owner outside the Buddhist sect a benefactor, or a layman. ”

The little novice who was known as the empty sky suddenly turned red, and then hurriedly nodded in response: "The disciple knows." ”

"En!" The thin monk didn't scold Xiao Shami too much, seeing that the latter admitted his mistake, he didn't pursue it again, and a pair of pure eyes swept towards Xu Mu.

Then he put his hands together and said slowly: "This benefactor, the poor monk is polite. ”

Seeing the thin monk appear, Xu Mu's eyes lit up, isn't this person the monk of Guigu himself.

immediately greeted him familiarly, and said with a chuckle: "Master Guigu is polite." ”

The Guigu monk nodded slightly, looked Xu Mu up and down with slightly puzzled eyes, and suddenly asked, "Forgive the poor monk, are you the donor?"

Now Xu Mu is showing people with the appearance of Mu Changsheng, although the monk of Guigu has deep Buddhism, he can't see through the disguise of changing the world.

Xu Mu didn't explain, and looked straight into the latter's eyes with a pair of pupils.

Two eyes as calm as water looked at each other like this.

After a short rest, the Guigu monk finally saw some clues, and his indifferent pupils finally showed a touch of fluctuation.

He didn't say much, glanced at the little novice, and lightly ordered: "All are empty and clean the temple gate." ”

"It's Uncle Guigu. ”

Xiao Shami nodded repeatedly.

"Donor, take a step to speak. At the same time, the Guigu monk glanced at Xu Mu, and then turned around and walked into the Shangqing Temple.

Xu Mu knew that the monk of Guigu had already seen who he was.

After all, the Qingping Mantra is the meditation method of Shangqing Temple, and at that glance, Xu Mu has already revealed it.

At the moment, following the back of the monk of Guigu, he stepped into the Shangqing Temple.

......

Shangqing Temple, a secluded courtyard.

There seems to be a formation to isolate the sound.

After Xu Mu followed the Guigu monk into it, he found that the calm color on the latter's face had turned into a light smile.

At the same time, the clear voice of the monk of the Ghost Valley sounded.

"This benefactor, you can reveal your true identity. ”

"Haha, Master Guigu, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Xu Mu naturally did not refuse, after all, he was here to find clues to the people in the Burning Heaven, if he didn't even reveal his true body, how could he make the Guigu monk trust.

After laughing, his body immediately squirmed, revealing his true face.

Although the monk of Guigu had already guessed, after really seeing Xu Mu's true face, he still sighed and sighed: "Sure enough, it is Xu Mu's donor, you actually escaped from the empty lock array." ”

"Well, it's a long story, but it's just luck. Xu Mu smiled bitterly.

"If you're lucky, you can't escape the Xuanyuan Sect Master's Empty Lock Array, that is the donor's life. The Guigu monk shook his head slowly, and said with a melancholy expression: "I didn't expect that this time the holy land that has always been transcendent has been attacked, and this Cangrui domain is about to come." ”

Xu Mu didn't have a good impression of the three holy lands in the first place, and after the incident of the Huoyun Demon Monk, his impression of them was even worse, and he immediately sneered without hesitation: "Transcendent things, it's just that there is nothing worthy of their action." A bunch of hypocrites. ”

The Guigu monk obviously knew that the Guiyuan Sect was almost destroyed by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, and seeing Xu Mu's indignant expression, he didn't delve into this matter, shook his head and chuckled: "That's it, let's not talk about this matter." ”

"Master Xu Mu came this time, presumably for the purpose of clearing the spell, right?"

In the Forbidden Land, the monk of Guigu once asked about the Qingping mantra.

Xu Mu was also invited to Shangqing Temple as a guest, and the two hit it off at that time, so it is not difficult to guess the purpose of Xu Mu's trip.

"Yes, I want to find out the clues of the elder of my Guiyuan Sect who took away the Qingping Mantra from your temple back then. Xu Mu nodded solemnly and looked directly into the eyes of the Guigu monk.
