Master Defeng watched Qingfeng adjust his cultivation to the middle stage of Qi Transformation little by little, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, although Shaolin Temple has been inherited for more than a thousand years, and there is no one comparable in secular martial arts, but there is still some lack in cultivating true exercises, and there is no such practical small spell as the breathing technique.

After adjusting his cultivation, Master Defeng continued to walk towards the mountain with a clear breeze.

After walking a few hundred meters, a quaint temple was revealed under a cliff. The temple covers an area of about ten acres, built on the mountain, the ancient trees inside and outside the temple are towering, blocking most of the buildings, if you don't come here, it is difficult to find this temple.

There is no door plaque in the temple, and after entering, it is found that the front layout is similar to the Yaowang Temple of Qinglong Mountain, and it is facing a large hall, and between the main hall and the gate is a square. However, the difference is not small, not to mention how much the scale of the main hall is, only the square in front of the door is at least more than five times the area of the courtyard of the Yaowangguan, all paved with bluestone, it looks neat and tidy, not only that, but there is also a row of pavilions on the side, which is extraordinary.

This is the magnanimity of the big faction, compared with here, the medicine king view is too cramped, fortunately he has arranged for Chongxuzi to expand the Baicao Hall, otherwise, all the people of the Baicao Hall will return to Qinglong Mountain, if it is not even enough to live in the room, it will make people see the joke, it seems that he is still prescient.

After entering the gate, Master Defeng led the breeze directly to the pavilion on the left. Under the gazebo, there were two groups of people sitting distinctly.

There were eight of them, and on the side were four monks, one younger, the other two were middle-aged, and the other was an old man, dressed slightly differently from the monks of our country, and one by one closed his eyes and seemed to be indifferent to external affairs; next to him were two men dressed in black power, one old and one young, with a sword at their waists, sitting in a chair and observing the surroundings with their eyes from time to time; another was a little more mysterious, dressed in a black robe, sitting in a corner, and his body seemed to be filled with a black mist, so that people could not see his true face; and the last one near the middle was a middle-aged man, wearing a formal suit, he is the only one in this group of people who can see through at a glance that his cultivation is not very high, with a politician-like smile on his face, it seems that he is the head of the exchange group.

The other group is only four monks, one old, one middle and two young, there is an empty chair near the position of the head of the exchange group, which should be reserved for Master Defeng, and the one sitting next to him is a middle-aged monk, whose cultivation is not very high, and the initial stage of Qi transformation is complete, it should be Master Decheng; 。

Master Decheng saw Master Defeng coming back with a breeze, stood up and said, "Senior brother, this is ......"

Master Defeng introduced: "This is the Qingfeng Dao Chief, and he came to visit my Shaolin Temple today, so let's come and have a look." ”

On this occasion, when you first meet and introduce, you will usually report to the sect first, but Master Defeng's introduction to Qingfeng is very simple, only saying the Taoist number, and the Taoist number Qingfeng in the Taoist Gate is the most commonly used, and it is difficult to judge which sect it comes from based on this alone. But now that the affairs are entangled, the senior brother has his own reason for introducing it like this, and Master Decheng didn't care, only the unfathomable Master of the Lonely Sky squinted his eyes and looked at Qingfeng again, and didn't say anything.

After Master Defeng finished introducing, Qingfeng also said: "I heard that there is a foreign exchange group, so I will let Master Defeng take me to take a look, and I hope to forgive me for taking the liberty." ”

Master Decheng said: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After a polite moment, the guest and the host sat down, Qingfeng sat next to Master Silent Sky, and Master Defeng sat in the empty seat near the head of the exchange group.

On the side of the island exchange group, I just observed it when Qingfeng first came over, and later saw that it was just a cultivation in the Qi Transformation Period, and there was nothing abnormal, so I didn't care.

All the personnel sat down, and the head of the island exchange group said in Chinese: "Master Defeng, how did we consider our proposal just now?"

Master Defeng said: "We monks have no quarrel with the world, and we are not the brave and ruthless people, so it is okay to exchange Buddhism, and it is better to compete for skills or something." ”

The head of the regiment continued: "Everyone is a monk, and you should know that cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Usually communicate more, learn from each other's strengths, and cultivate more intensively, how can you be considered brave and ruthless?"

"My Buddhist disciples take the cultivation of the Dharma as their first priority, and the improvement of their cultivation is just to have more time to study the Dharma, and everything else is just a means. Master Defeng said.

"Hehe, is it? That's a pity, we came all the way to your temple to send this Dharma manuscript back to your company, but I didn't expect your temple to refuse it. Bodhidharma manuscripts, it seems that this thing can only continue to be collected in my island country. The regimental commander sighed.

Master Defeng stared intently at the head of the exchange group, and even Master Silent Sky couldn't help but open his eyes.

The regimental commander took out a wooden box from his bosom, and then carefully opened it, revealing a handwritten scroll inside. Seeing that handwriting, Master Silent Sky couldn't help but widen his eyes, isn't this the long-lost Dharma manuscript of Shaolin Temple?

This volume of Bodhidharma manuscript is the Bodhidharma Patriarch's first entry into the Central Plains of the handwriting, not only recorded the first half of his life to travel to see and hear, but also for the Shaolin Temple before and after the creation of the temple also has a detailed record, has always been as the treasure of the Shaolin Temple, a hundred years ago the master of the empty sky saw it with his own eyes. It was only later that the Central Plains was in war for many years, and this manuscript was somehow lost, but I didn't expect it to end up in the hands of the islanders.

Master Defeng had never seen the authentic manuscript of Bodhidharma, so he could not judge its authenticity, and was hesitating how to answer. Everyone knows that the head of the regiment at this time took out the Dharma manuscript definitely not to give it to the Shaolin Temple in vain, but to use this thing to lead the Shaolin Temple to the standard.

This volume of Dharma manuscript may be just a cultural relic for outsiders, but for the Shaolin Temple, he is the root of the Shaolin Temple, their spiritual symbol, and it is absolutely impossible to lose what they would rather die than take back.

Master Silent Sky, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "Since you must compare, it is also simple. Don't you have a Jindan realm, just let him compete with me, one will determine the outcome of the game, and no one will have anything to say. ”

The head of the regiment smiled and said, "Master Lonely Sky is serious, you are a high-ranking monk, how can you let you do it yourself? The realm of the Qi Transformation Period represents the basic power of the cultivation realm, isn't it just right for them to compete?"

This group of people is really wishful thinking, among the eight people on the other side, there is definitely a monk of the Jindan realm, but the middle stage of the Jindan is not so good to enter, so the other party should be slightly worse than the master of the Lonely Sky, if these two people compete, the other party's chances of winning are much smaller. But the monks in the Qi Transformation Period are different, there are many people from the other side, at least four of the eight people are in the Qi Transformation Period, no matter how they compete, the other party can choose the strongest in the Qi Transformation Period to participate, and the Shaolin side only has two Qi Transformation Period Master Defeng and Master Decheng, and only the two of them can go up.

The exchange competition was proposed by you, and the rules should be set by you, which is really shameless. Originally, the monks of Shaolin Temple didn't care about victory or defeat, but considering the degree to which this person didn't care about his face, if he lost, wouldn't the other party be busy working in vain if he refused to hand over the Bodhidharma manuscript?

Seeing that the Shaolin Temple side was silent, the head of the regiment said again: "What's the matter? Shaolin Temple has no certainty of winning, so it doesn't dare to compare?"

Master Decheng, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be unable to help it, stood up and flicked his sleeves and said, "Isn't it just a competition in the realm of the Qi Transformation Period?

Qingfeng shook his head, he didn't expect this Master Decheng to be a violent temper, he was impulsive when he was provoked, the other party was obviously prepared, didn't he fall for them? Master Defeng also shook his head secretly, his junior brother is a lot older, and he is still so impulsive, even inferior to the two junior disciples.

Sure enough, the head of the regiment didn't wait for this side to finish speaking, and hurriedly slapped the table and said, "Okay, it's still Master Decheng's refreshment." The rules of the competition are very simple, each side will produce three Qi Transformation Stage monks, and the final team with the most victories wins. ”

"It's still not comparable, there are only two monks in the Qi Transformation Period on my Shaolin Temple side, what should I do in the third game?" Master Decheng said.

The head of the regiment smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't there still two young disciples in Shaolin Temple? ”

It's so shameless, you can actually say this kind of thing, let our disciples in the Qi Refining Stage compete with your Qi Transformation Stage masters?

That is, the monks of Shaolin Temple are all monks, and they can't speak foul language, they can only think about it in their hearts, otherwise they would have exploded into foul language. Even the monks on the side of the exchange group frowned, as if they were a little disgusted by the head of the group talking like this.

There are monks here in Shaolin Temple, and there are some things that can't be said, but Qingfeng can't watch a group of honest people being bullied, so he said: "It's really unreasonable to let the monks of the Qi refining period participate in the competition of the Qi Transformation Period." Three competitions, since there are only two people in the Shaolin Temple during the Qi Transformation Period, then count me in, we are three against three, fair and reasonable. ”

The head of the regiment said: "This is not good, this Taoist is not from Shaolin, how can he participate in this competition?"

Do you still want to make a face? Do you have to compare the Qi Transformation Period with the Qi Refining Period? Qingfeng asked, "Are the three Qi Transformation Stages over there all one sect?"

"Naturally not. The regiment commander said.

Qingfeng then asked rhetorically: "Since the three of you are not from the same sect, why do you require that the three of us must all belong to the Shaolin Temple?"

"This ...... Our side is challenging the Shaolin Temple, so naturally the Shaolin Temple can only send people to fight. The regimental commander paused and said.
