In the evening, sixteen elders and monks dressed in big red robes, escorted by elite guards, entered the palace to publicize that they were praying for the seriously ill emperor Chen Baxian to ward off disasters.

In the distance, Shi Zhixuan, dressed in a royal blue Confucian shirt and a folding fan, sat by the window on the second floor of a tavern next to the street, taking this scene into his eyes, and couldn't help but bow slightly.

Among the sixteen monks who have just passed, there are the three holy monks of Master Wisdom and his cheap masters, Master Daoxin and Master Jiaxiang, as well as the abbot of Yicheng Temple.

After all, Master Jiaxiang's vitality has not recovered, if he really encounters a grandmaster-level master of the Demon Gate in the palace, I am afraid that one of the Daoxin masters or wisdom masters will need to protect him, and the other is the one who really protects the emperor Chen Baxian.

As for the remaining thirteen first-class and second-rate masters, it is just an addition, and they are fighting on the side.

The two middle-aged Confucian scholars at the next table were from a big family, and they were foaming at the mouth of the sixteen monks and showing off to each other.

"The one who is the first is the Master of the Three Treatises Sect Jizang, followed by the Zen Master Daoxin, the Wise Master of the Tiantai Sect, and the third is the abbot of Qixia Temple, Master Huiguan, and the Zen Master of Jozanji Temple......"

"Isn't that right...... How could the wise master of the Tiantai Sect be mixed up among the masters of the Three Treatises Sect and the Zen Sect?

"Hmph...... That year, the wise master gave a lecture at the Waguan Temple outside the city, and I have listened to it, so how can I admit my mistake?"

Shi Zhixuan nodded secretly when he heard this, Master Jizang is Master Jiaxiang, because he gave lectures in Jiaxiang Temple when the audience was thousands of people to get the name of Master Jiaxiang, the wise master is the master of wisdom, before the Dharma was practiced, he had practiced in Waguan Temple outside Jiankang City.

Dingshan Temple is one of the ancestral gardens of Zen Buddhism, known as the 'first dojo of Bodhidharma', and Qixia Temple is equally famous, one of the two is on the north bank of the Yangtze River. On the south bank of the Yangtze River, they are all the world's largest temples near Jiankang.

As for the Ichitsura Temple, it is a big step behind, and it is only a first-class middle and lower temple, so the abbot of Jozan Temple, Daozhen Zen Master, is the best among the first-class masters, and the abbot of the Ichitsune Temple, Daoxian, is only a second-rate master. The status of the two in Zen Buddhism is clear at a glance.

However, this is also related to the fact that Zen Buddhism is a new sect and has a limited background, otherwise with the scale of the Ichiyana Temple, at least one first-class master will be stationed.

Among the sixteen Buddhist masters just now, in addition to the wisdom master, there are ten who belong to the Three Treatise Sect, and only five belong to Zen Buddhism, so we can also see the gap between the two sects at this time.

Fortunately, the Three Treatises Sect has reached its peak. There is more than enough to keep and not enough to make progress, and Zen Buddhism is in a period of rapid growth and prosperity, and within a few decades, it may catch up with or surpass the Three Treatises.

It is precisely because of this that Shi Zhixuan thinks that Zen Buddhism is the greatest potential stock of Buddhism, and the best place to mix vests.

"Ichitsuriji Temple is my drop...... Jozanji Temple is my drop...... Zen Buddhism is also my drip sooner or later......"

After confirming that the three holy monks had really entered the palace, Shi Zhixuan got up and went downstairs. While muttering in his heart.

The hazy night covers the sky, and the moon shines coldly.

Qixia Mountain is not high. There are not many peaks, only three, but the Qixia Mountain in late autumn, full of red leaves, like a beautiful picture, is known as "the first Jiankang Mingxiu Mountain".

It's the height of summer. There are no red maple leaves, but the mountains and dense forests are just right for some sneaky people to hide and hide.

In the back mountain of Fengxiang Peak, Shi Zhixuan was dressed in a black night robe and wore a demon mask on his face. Hanging from his waist, the upgraded version of the [Phantom Body Method] unfolded in full force, like a wisp of light smoke, silently passing through the heavy trees, flickering.

He was not stupid enough to sneak in from the main gate of Qixia Temple, and he was very suspicious that He Shibi was hiding in the temple.

After all, the strange abilities emitted by the Heshi Bi are unpredictable, and they have a very bad influence on anyone in the world who practices the Ancestral Weather Skill and Meditation Kung Fu.

If the monks of the temple don't want to go crazy every day, they will not put He's bi in the temple at all, but are likely to hide in a hidden cave somewhere in the back mountain, and then send a master to guard the exit.

The subtle spiritual sense was fully opened, Shi Zhixuan searched twice around the dense forest behind Fengxiang Peak, but he saw a lot of caves, but he did not find the slightest vision of the radiation energy of the Heshi Bi, and there were no masters left.

He still didn't give up and searched the nearby Longshan and Hushan, but he also found nothing.

"Shouldn't it?"

Standing on top of the huge Buddha statue of the Thousand Buddha Rock, Shi Zhixuan looked down at the majestic and solemn outline of Qixia Temple in the darkness below, frowned and muttered, "Could it be that the four old bald donkeys expected that someone would come to forcibly seize the Heshi Bi these days, so they hid the treasure back in the temple during the day?"

Or was it wrong as I expected...... In fact, He's Bi is not hidden in the back mountain, but has always been hidden in the temple?

No matter what, even if you can't eat fish tonight, you still have to smell fish!"

The words turned into a puff of black smoke, and it fell silently, and in an instant, it was a few zhang away, and dived towards the back door of Qixia Temple.

Because of the suspicion that the Emperor Heart Venerable might stay in the Qixia Temple, Shi Zhixuan was naturally much more solemn, and his mind remained at the mysterious level of the sympathy between heaven and man, and his spirit was vague and insignificant, quietly floating in the shadows of various palaces.

As long as he is not directly visualized by the naked eye and locked by the qi machine, even the spiritual sense of a first-class master will treat his existence as a ball of air.

The temple is extremely popular, most of the meditation rooms are inhabited by monks, around the back half of the temple, Shi Zhixuan sensed no less than 300 monks with martial arts.

In terms of breath alone, although most of them have not even entered the third rate, they also have a lot of internal skills, and there are more than 30 of them who can be called second- and third-rate masters.

Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but secretly sigh: This is only the head of the many monasteries of the Three Treatises Sect, at most half of the masters of the Three Treatises Sect have gathered, plus a few first-class masters who entered the palace during the day today...... It is worthy of being the first major sect of Buddhism in the south!

In the midst of the rapid drifting, Shi Zhixuan suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and a wave of invisible fluctuations hit him from afar, and a sense of irritability arose, making him almost fall out of the state of sympathy between heaven and man.

Busy and calm, his mind was ethereal, and he slowly dived in the direction where the fluctuations came.

Under the cool moonlight, an inconspicuous circular stone well mouth in the center of the small courtyard came into view.

Under all these concerns, Shi Zhixuan did not dare to approach, only shrank in the shadow of the corner of the eaves of the adjacent attic, and condescendingly glanced at the granite wellhead with the blue brick floor a few feet higher.

Although he did not have the blessing of the 'Pig's Foot Aura', his spiritual sense was seriously affected by the radioactive power of He's Bi without exception, and almost lost its effect, but he could still faintly feel the source of the radioactive invisible force, which was nearly twenty zhang directly below the wellhead!

couldn't help but snort secretly: "No wonder I'm not afraid that He's bi's strange power will affect the monks' cultivation of true qi and meditation, it turns out that I took great pains to dig an ultra-deep shaft as a treasure hiding place."

As long as they go out of the range of these courtyards around the wellhead, the monks will not feel anything unusual!

Feng Xiangfeng is only about 100 zhang high, and the shaft has been nearly 20 zhang, ordinary monks will definitely not be able to do this work, most of them are done by masters with martial arts!"

At this moment, the radioactive force of He's Bi is gradually decreasing, and the abnormal effect is gradually disappearing.

However, Shi Zhixuan smiled bitterly in his heart, and he had no intention of going to the wellhead at all-even if he went, he would not be able to salvage the treasure that was nearly twenty zhang deep in the cave?...... If you sneak into the well, will you send it over to make a turtle in the urn?

Jiaxiang bald donkey is really cunning, compared to this, the empty bald donkey is too big, only put the treasure in the copper hall at will, will the ditch capsize!

After a while, He's radioactive ability continued to increase, and the irritability that penetrated the soul was enough to make any cultivator turn around and leave, far away.

However, in order not to be sensed by the meditation master, Shi Zhixuan needed to maintain a wonderful state of sympathy between heaven and man, and his requirements for the realm of the mind and spirit were immediately several times stricter.

If it weren't for the fact that he had advanced to the Void Realm, his mental spirituality was extraordinary, and it would be difficult to persist at this moment, even so, the 'innate' spiritual sense in this life would be temporarily invalid.

Just when He's bizarre power rose to its peak and his irritability was surging, Shi Zhixuan suddenly heard a loud explosion of air on the side, and his body was shrouded and squeezed by a strong energy, like a quagmire......

Emperor Heart Venerable!

With a heartbeat, Shi Zhixuan immediately gave up maintaining the ethereal state of sympathy between heaven and man, and barely recovered a little spiritual sense under the influence of He Shibi.

A Zen staff roared from more than ten feet behind the left side, breaking through the air and hitting his shoulder and back. Before the Zen staff arrived, the infinite energy accumulated on the staff had already penetrated through the staff and locked him firmly.

At this time, Shi Zhixuan was in the range where the influence of the He's Bi ability was strong, and the place where the Emperor Heart Venerable shot out of the Zen staff was already on the edge of the range of the He's Bi ability, and for a Zen master like the Emperor Xin, the adverse effects were negligible!

Feeling that even if he hastily condensed and replenished his innocence qi now, under the interference of He Shibi, it would be difficult to resist the blow of the emperor's heart, Shi Zhixuan immediately gave up his plan to take the move, and his black and fine energy was immediately collected, but the strength of the Zen staff shrouded and broke away for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Zhixuan pushed the eaves with his left hand, and his body fell sharply, tumbling down from the tiles of the lower roof, narrowly avoiding the swift blow of the Zen staff.

"Knock...... Whoa...... Snort!"

The Zen staff smashed the corner of the eaves, and the broken wood and debris carried the strong wind, splashing like flying knives.

"Peng!"

As soon as he fell to the ground, a piece of broken tiles hit Shi Zhixuan's back, and the blow was hot and painful, but he didn't care about it just now, and he didn't care about rubbing the wound at the moment, so he only relied on his strong flesh and body strength to run towards the alley far away from He's Bi.

"Whoa...... Whew......"

The sound of tiles sliding and heavy objects breaking through the air behind him sounded, and Shi Zhixuan didn't look back, but he knew that it was the Emperor Heart Venerable who was taking back the Zen staff with his true qi in the air.

If he turned around and put the concealment weapon at this time, he could also make the Emperor Heart Venerable, who was in the heavier range of the He's Bi, a little embarrassed, but he knew that this move was meaningless except for a momentary speed. (To be continued.) )
