It is said that there are now three continents in this world, and there are endless seas separated by the continents, and there are countless large and small islands in the sea.

The largest of the three continents occupies a corner of this realm master, called the Nine Heavens, and the remaining two are the Nine Earth Continent and the Demon Yuan Continent, which are slightly smaller than the Nine Heavens, and the opening area is owned by the Super Sect Yunhai Immortal Palace and the Yuan Shi Demon Sect respectively.

It is said that there is a fourth-level Buddhist sect great sect big Buddha temple in the west of the fourth-level Daomen Great Sect Wuchen Sect on the Nine Lands Continent, and there is a fourth-level Buddhist Gate Great Sect Huasheng Temple in the west of the Big Buddha Temple, which is directly under the Buddhist country to govern nearly 10 million ordinary people, but for some reason, there have always been few spiritual roots born, and the number of disciples in the door is naturally scarce, and the cultivation is also uneven. For this reason, many elders in the Avatar Temple have been hiding in the world under pseudonyms for many years, marrying and giving birth as ordinary people, and some even frantically take concubines, in order to obtain disciples with cultivation qualifications through bloodline inheritance. But even so, the Transforming Temple can only barely maintain the number of introductory disciples every year, and the quality is still difficult to guarantee. One hundred and fifty years ago, among the descendants of an elder, a genius disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root of the Nine-Rank Lotus Terrace appeared in the temple, and he worshiped in the temple and took the name Fajiang. This Fajiang relied on his extraordinary talent and the resources in the temple to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building in less than a hundred years, and it was only a matter of time before he hit Jindan. But more than fifty years ago, Fajiang gave up the rush and forcibly withdrew from the sect, or defected, anyway, without the permission of the Huasheng Temple, and disappeared without a trace.

When Fa Jiang left, he left a book saying that he would find a way to change the inability of ordinary people to cultivate, and claimed that he had been a person without a spiritual root when he was a child, and he only had a spiritual root by chance when he was six or seven years old, but this spiritual root had nothing to do with the Huasheng Temple.

As soon as this matter spread, it had a great impact on the Huasheng Temple at that time, the adjacent Great Buddha Temple, and dozens of affiliated sects and laymen attached to the two major sects, and even the adjacent Daomen had heard of it. And when Fa Jiang left, he didn't know how to copy more than 100 secret exercises in the Tibetan scripture building of Huasheng Temple, which were all the lifeblood of Huasheng Temple, and Huasheng Temple naturally wanted to recover them. Two years later, Fa Jiang appeared in the Demon Yuan Continent, and he has turned into a Confucian cultivator with a folding fan, and he is also accompanied by a female cultivator who cultivates in the later stage of foundation building, who should be a person in the Demon Yuan Continent, and the rare black robe wraps the whole body, and he can't see his face clearly. According to the first batch of Jin Dan in the Huasheng Temple who tracked the past, the relationship between the two was complicated, and the female cultivator had the secret technique of the Demon Gate, which could always let the two escape from the hands of the Jindan, so the Huasheng Temple did not allow the first batch of Jindan to return, and the second batch of Jindan monks who were good at capturing the formation were also risked to dispatch a Yuanying monk. You must know that the Demon Yuan Continent is full of demon gates in the development area, although the monks of the Nine Heavens Continent and the Nine Continents can be accepted, but the Buddhism and the Demon Gate have always been incompatible because of the problem of practicing exercises, and the Yuan Ying monk went to the Demon Yuan Continent in order to prevent being discovered by the high-level demon cultivators, and has been suppressing the cultivation in the Jindan period, and does not want to be arrested again and again and still can't catch Fajiang, and finally had to use the Yuanying supernatural powers, but was immediately discovered by the Demon Yuan high-level, and was destroyed before the completion of the body, the monk Yuanying fled back to the Huasheng Temple at a great cost, but the second batch of Jindan together with Fajiang and the female cultivators have no news since then, and they don't know whether they were arrested or killed。 The Yuanying monk who escaped back finally suffered too much damage to the true yuan when he escaped, and he was hit by an attack at least the incarnation level, that is, he was demoted and rebuilt, and there was no hope on the avenue, so he sat down and reincarnated. However, before the reincarnation, the monk tried his best to win the consent of the elders in the sect, and actually restored the image of Fajiang and the nun at that time with divine thoughts, and instructed the first batch of Jindan to go and return to circulate among many Buddhist disciples, with unknown intentions.

This incident caused another uproar among the cultivators and laymen of the two major sects of Huasheng Temple and the Great Buddha Temple, and it was gradually calmed down more than 30 years ago. But the incident didn't seem to have attracted the attention of the realm lord or the master of the nine lands from beginning to end, and it finally came to an end.

As a member of the Great Buddha Temple, the monk had seen the image of Fajiang at that time, and he also had some impressions of the fan. was ambushed in Tonggulou that day, and he recognized the fan when he saw it for the first time, but it was difficult to take care of this stubble for self-preservation. Later, when he saw that the fan was taken away by Liu San'er, although the man in white went to chase after him, he had some thoughts when he met Liu San'er, and since Liu San'er was out of danger, the fan naturally did not change hands.

The value of the fan itself does not seem to be large, but it is Fajiang's belongings, and it mysteriously ran from the Demon Yuan Continent to the Nine Lands Continent, although the twists and turns are not for outsiders, but they are also an important clue.

The monk wanted to send the fan to the door of the master to ask for a credit, and said that if Liu San'er could be trusted, he could agree on a time and place in the future to divide the reward in the door equally. As for how the Big Buddha Temple will deal with this matter in the future, he doesn't care, and I believe that Liu San will do the same. And warned that if this thing is owned by Liu San'er, the news will be leaked in the future, it will definitely bring him countless troubles, and it is very likely that his life will be worried.

After listening to the narration, Liu San'er carefully tasted the product, and found that all the key points in the monk's story were very vague, for example, how did Nafajiang run to the magic yuan, as a foundation building monk, he didn't use a magic weapon but he wanted to use a fan that could only be regarded as a mortal weapon, and the blank on both sides of the fan was caused by this at the beginning or later for other reasons, and the big Buddha Temple would bring things to the table again...... And so on and so forth. But thinking that the monk was just a Qi cultivator, and it seemed reasonable that the high-level people didn't know everything about it, he pretended to be okay for a while, and said: "Since the fan involves the great sect of Buddhism, it is naturally not something that a small Qi cultivator can be greedy for." If what Daoyou said is true, the fan must be handed over by Lao Daoyou!"

"Daoyou is merciful, if this matter is also considered a merit, he will be overshadowed by his descendants one day, rich and glorious!"

Liu San'er smiled slightly: "But... With the cultivation of Daoist friends who are only slightly higher than the next layer at the moment, and the long journey back to the sect with a fan alone will inevitably lead to stumbling on the way, so I can't rest assured..."

When the monk heard this, his eyes widened.

This was just as Liu San'er expected, and said disapprovingly: "Why don't we go together, go to the Daoyou Sect, and then transfer it to the senior in charge of the sect by the Daoyou, how about it?"

"This—" The monk was silent.

Liu San'er is now a water worm, and he wasted time listening to the monk talk about the origin of the fan, although it stands to reason that there are nearly five days to live, but he also feels that time is pressing, and the outside situation is unknown, and it is even more difficult to determine how much time will be wasted, and it is even possible to be captured and killed when he goes out, how can he wait for the monk to think, and there is no doubt: "There is a master who sends a letter to entrust, and it will take about half a year." If you are busy with other things, you and I can agree on a time and place, and then go together, wouldn't it be better!"

"The poor monk has nothing to do..."The monk was about to explain, but before he finished speaking, he was pinched by Liu San.

"Since it's okay, what are you thinking? Could it be that the fan thing is something else?"

"How could it be!" The monk denied it: "How can it be all right! There is also an important matter waiting for the poor monk to complete, three months should be about the same, if there is an accident such as Tonggulou, it may not be half a year. If you let the time be more free, it will be set in a year, and the location will be decided. ”

"One year!" Liu San'er is really unpredictable about the monk's thoughts, and he doesn't have time to ponder at the moment: "It's just what I want, the location is set at Cai Guojing, the one introduced by Daoyou Ye Bai, who can repair the letter, asked." ”

"It's fine!" the monk promised.

Immediately, Liu San'er had to make an oath with the monk. But the monk actually took out two yellowed silk cloths from the storage bag, with the four seal characters of "Soul Contract" written on them, and the rest of the place was empty. took pen and ink and wrote the agreement between the two on the two silk cloths in detail, and let Liu San'er check it when it was over.

The soul contract is one of the most common covenants among monks in order to prevent the breach of the contract, and the production method is only in the hands of a few large sects, but for various reasons, the price is extremely low, and ten spirit stones can be bought in the market haunted by various cultivators, and the effect is said to be more terrible than swearing to the sky.

Pointing to the sky as an oath is generally to say something if this oath is violated, the thunder and thunder will not be good, and the intestines will be rotten. However, the operation of the Heavenly Dao is not measurable, and the swear is generally much faster for the monks above the Jindan than the monks below the Jindan, so most of the monks above the Jindan swear will do what they say, lest they will suffer the consequences afterwards. The monks below the Jindan Dao are expected to naturally obey the oath, but some avenues are hopeless and will take advantage of the loopholes of the Heavenly Dao.

It is rumored that there are often monks who have cultivated below Jin Dan who have clearly violated their oath, but the retribution has not come for a long time, and some even have the backlash of the oath when their longevity is about to end, which is not much different from not being retribution.

However, the soul contract can be reported or torn up, and the current report is that once the content of the contract is violated, it will be immediately counterattacked. If you tear up the report, you will be held alive by the other party with a contract.

Needless to say, tearing up the newspaper is more deterrent and has some room for maneuver. In the event of a breach of contract, the other party must personally tear up the oath in order to cause the breaching party to suffer the repercussion of the oath. Sometimes it is not impossible for the breaching party to be controlled by the other party, otherwise the other party can immediately push the breaching party to a dead end by simply tearing up the contract, which is equivalent to the other party grasping the right of life and death of the breaching party. The leeway is that if both parties agree to terminate the contract, they can simply exchange the contract with each other and destroy it, but this kind of thing does not happen very often, because both parties will pay a tenth of their life as a result.

Seeing such solemnity, Liu San'er didn't dare to be careless, and after reading it word by word, he found that the contract was torn up, and the monk did not leave any back door for himself, and thought of what if the monk urgently needed a fan to attack him, so he added the words "The two must not attack each other".

The monk did not hesitate and did so immediately.

At this time, I thought of another one, let the monk do his best to help him get rid of insects, and he couldn't save Yunyun if he didn't see death, and he was ready to add. The monk did not follow, saying that if there was any irresistible danger outside for a while, the two did not escape, or the monk himself did not escape, or the two escaped on the way, and they would be taken care of by Liu San in the future, and they would not agree to live or die. Liu San'er thought about it and felt reasonable, so he gave up, but asked the monk to give a recipe for deworming.

......

After talking about some temporary matters, the two sides finally negotiated, and the monk bit his finger and used his essence blood to write the Dharma name and sect above and below his contract, and the Great Buddha Temple was empty.

Liu San'er had never seen a soul contract before, let alone made a covenant with anyone, but it was still okay to draw a scoop with a gourd, and he also bit his finger and wrote Liu San'er of Da Zhoumen up and down his share.

As soon as the words were written, Liu San'er felt an inexplicable movement in the depths of his soul, as if he had been touched by something, and then felt as if his soul was bound by something extremely thin that seemed to be like a silk thread, and then he felt nothing at all. But he didn't know that the contract had been fulfilled, and he and the monk had no chance to regret it, otherwise he would have died a year later. Fortunately, it is to tear up the contract, and there may be some leeway. If he breaks his oath and does not arrive by the time, the monk should not immediately tear up the contract if he does not see the fan. And if the peace has not yet arrived, he has no deep hatred with the monk, and naturally he will not easily destroy the covenant.

The two sides exchanged contracts, and the soul contract was over. He gave the ice dagger and the spirit stone together, and before leaving, Liu San'er's heart moved, and he suddenly smiled at the monk: "Empty Daoist, what is there on you, those people must get it, if it really doesn't work for a while, take it out, maybe..."

"Hmph! Daomen is unfortunate..."The monk seemed to have been stabbed and jumped into the water.

It was a matter of life and death, Liu San'er did not dare to delay, but before entering the water, he was still very unconvinced by the monk's last words, and muttered: "Why is it unfortunate? Who is unlucky?

......

"Senior sister, are you sure that guy is in this water, you can't be mistaken?" Before the monk could get out of the water, Liu San'er heard a man's voice echoing in the cave.

The voice called the senior sister was quite familiar, and she said angrily: "The smell on that person's body disappeared when it came to the waterhole, I was born with a keen sense of smell, and you don't know it!"

Looking at the monk who was staring at him, Liu San'er could only stand his hands in shame, and said in his heart: Blame me!
