Meng Xiuyuan sat at the stern of the boat for a while, until his spirit gradually stabilized, he slowly stood up.
"Mr. Meng, are you okay..."
At this moment, Yun Yuzhen's voice of concern came from behind. Apparently, she had been waiting for a long time and did not dare to disturb him until she saw Meng Xiuyuan finished his exercise.
Meng Xiuyuan turned around and saw Yun Yuzhen followed by dozens of disciples from the Jukun Gang. They all looked at him with respect and caution.
"Gang Leader Yun, have you disturbed me?"
Seeing this scene, the experienced Meng Xiuyuan could also guess that he had inadvertently made some big noise when he broke through just now, so everyone on the ship came to watch the excitement.
After Yun Yuzhen heard the sound, he quickly shook his head, with a rather frightened look on his face.
In fact, she really didn't know how to describe what she had just experienced. She just felt a vague stirring in her sleep, which made her wake up naturally and walked to the deck involuntarily.
As the leader of the Giant Whale Gang who makes his living through intelligence, Yun Yuzhen is definitely knowledgeable, but he has never heard of such a thing.
She secretly speculated in her heart that Meng Xiuyuan must be practicing some magical technique to have such a strange phenomenon. She couldn't help but be extremely curious and subconsciously wanted to find out.
This cultivation matter can be said to be the biggest secret of a warrior. At this moment, Yun Yuzhen could not help but violate a taboo by peeking like this. Although she knew that Meng Xiuyuan was a generous person, she was also a little scared in her heart, and she quickly apologized:
"Mr. Meng, please forgive me. It's because we came uninvited and disturbed you. It's right that we were rude...ah~"
Halfway through Yun Yu's true words, she suddenly exclaimed. Looking at Meng Xiuyuan who was slowly walking out of the thick morning fog, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Leader Yun, what's wrong?"
Meng Xiu saw Yun Yuzhen looking at him with such a shocked face, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Mr. Meng, how come you have changed so much after not seeing me for a night..."
Yun Yuzhen couldn't help but look at Meng Xiuyuan's face. Although she knew it was not rude to be so rude when facing an honored guest, she still couldn't look away for a long time.
In fact, Mr. Meng, who was originally handsome, graceful and dazzling, now has more and more natural temperament in his body, just like the spring breeze in April, but also like the deep mountain stream, which cannot be explained.
Yun Yuzhen, who was accustomed to dating handsome men, couldn't help but be heartbroken by such a sight of heaven and man.
"Haha, Gang Leader Yun is serious, I just made some progress in my kung fu."
When Meng Xiuyuan saw Yun Yuzhen's performance, he waved his hand in agreement, and he probably understood what was going on, but he didn't care much.
In fact, Meng Xiuyuan has long discovered that the world's top exercises can quite effectively improve a person's temperament and appearance.
For example, the Hanwan and Shifeixuan he had seen before, apart from their beauty, the reason why they were more attractive than ordinary beauties was because they had practiced the "Tianmo Dafa" and "Cihang Sword Code" respectively.
Huanwan's mystery is alluring, and Master Feixuan's pure spirit is like an immortal. Now that I think about it, they must have been gradually formed due to the characteristics of their respective skills during the cultivation of Yuan Shen.
Meng Xiuyuan previously practiced the "Secret of Immortality" and placed his spirit on the heaven, earth and nature. It is normal for the soul to be tainted with some charm in the process of stimulating the activation of the soul.
"Mr. Meng, can Yu Zhen take the liberty to ask, what level has your martial arts cultivation reached?
But is it similar to the legendary great masters like Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, and Fu Cailin?"
When Yun Yuzhen heard Meng Xiuyuan take the initiative to mention martial arts, she couldn't help but think of the strange situation in her sleep just now. She couldn't help her curiosity and asked tentatively.
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, and said sincerely to Yunyu:
"From my own point of view, in terms of realm alone, I should be two steps behind them.
Although I made some breakthroughs today, I still have to work hard and practice more diligently..."
Meng Xiuyuan's words were not out of humility, but because he truly saw the road in front of him clearly.
Due to his two reincarnations and the accumulation of more than ten years before, as soon as Meng Xiuyuan realized the Tao today, his soul began to grow rapidly, and he was no longer weaker than the top masters in the world.
But it was precisely because he had so much savings that this mere epiphany was not enough to completely transform his spirit.
Until this moment, Meng Xiuyuan could still vaguely feel that his soul was quietly growing and growing all the time, without any sign of stopping.
By analogy, judging from the twelve chapters of "The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart", Meng Xiuyuan probably crossed multiple realms in one fell swoop and reached the stage equivalent to "Becoming a Demon" in Chapter 9.
And in terms of the strength of his soul alone, Meng Xiuyuan has actually completely surpassed Xiang Yutian himself, who has cultivated to this point in the article, and has reached the standard of "superior perfection".
It's just that because of his special situation, it will take some time for him to truly complete this article.
According to Xiang Yutian's description in "The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart", only when the practitioner's soul has grown to a point close to the limit of its current stage, can the tenth chapter of "Devil's Ultimate" be practiced, integrating the soul and consciousness into
The best time for one.
Meng Xiuyuan was thinking about the long term and would not be so impatient as to overthrow the situation. After all, his current methods were more than enough to deal with the matter at hand.
"Is it just that the realm is still a little short of two steps... What if we really take action?"
Yun Yuzhen was stunned when he heard this, looked at Meng Xiuyuan in a daze, and couldn't help but murmur to himself.
How could someone as smart as her not hear that there was obviously more to Meng Xiuyuan's plain yet confident sentence?
…
In another two days, the Jukun finally sailed from the Yellow River into Luoshui, and then reached the city of Luoyang.
At this time, the city of Luoyang was a new capital established near ancient Luoyang after Yang Guang came to the throne.
The New Imperial City is located between the Zhou Royal City and the ancient cities of the Han and Wei dynasties, with a circumference of more than fifty miles and is magnificent.
Yang Guang also dug a Grand Canal with Luoyang as the center, reaching Hangzhou in the south and Zhuojun in the north, running from north to south, making Luoyang the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.
Therefore, even when the world is in chaos, Luoyang, the eastern capital, is still a bustling scene. At dawn, both sides of the Luoshui River are already filled with dense crowds of traders, and the sounds of hawking and shouting come and go.
"Mr. Meng, will you follow me to see Mr. Li now?"
Yun Yuzhen stood beside Meng Xiuyuan and asked carefully.
In the past two days, she had become more and more in awe of Meng Xiuyuan and did not dare to offend or neglect him in the slightest.
Meng Xiuyuan was looking at the bustling crowd on the shore, frowning slightly, and was thinking about something. He came back to his senses when Yun Yuzhen called him like this, and immediately shook his head and replied:
"I'm not busy. I have some things that I need to see for myself first so that I can have an idea.
I also ask Gang Leader Yun to tell Brother Shimin for me that I will go find him before tonight..."
"yes……"
Yun Yuzhen heard the words and just nodded in response. When he wanted to ask about the details, he looked up but Meng Xiuyuan was no longer there.
…
Meng Xiuyuan got off the boat and headed straight to the south of Luoyang City.
According to what Shi Qingxuan said, he wanted to go to Jing Nian Chan Monastery first to see what the allies of Cihang Jingzhai were like and what kind of treasure He's Bi was.
More than twenty miles out of the city, until they reached a hillside, Meng Xiuyuan could not help but be surprised when he saw the whole monastery.
I saw that the Jing Nian Temple was located on a low mountain and was extremely large in scale.
At a glance, you can see hundreds of densely packed pavilions and palaces. If it weren't for the pagodas and Buddha statues dotted among them, it would almost be mistaken for a small city.
The Shaolin Temple that Meng Xiuyuan visited many times in his previous life was thought to be a rare and large temple in the world, but the Jing Nian Temple in front of him was actually many times larger than the Shaolin Temple, which was unbelievable.
Seeing this scene, Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly, but did not stop and continued walking to the Jing Nian Temple.
After walking to the foot of the mountain, I looked up again, and saw that the Zen monastery towering on the mountain looked increasingly formidable.
More than a thousand stone steps stretch to the top of the mountain, giving people the illusion of reaching the sky, which is unattainable.
At this moment, a pretty figure floated down from the mountain and came towards Meng Xiuyuan.
"Mr. Meng, it's you..."
Master Fei Xuan was dressed as a Confucian scholar, and her eyes, which were like spiritual rain from an empty mountain, were looking at Meng Xiuyuan for a long time, with a complex expression in her eyes that was difficult to describe.
"At such a critical moment, Miss Master probably doesn't want to see me."
Meng Xiuyuan chuckled lightly, but stopped looking at the beauty, and only looked at the Jing Nian Zen Temple above his head.
"Mr. Meng has misunderstood... I have heard a lot about the young master's work in eradicating demons and defending morality over the years.
How could Concubine Xuan not want to meet such a like-minded and righteous person like the young master?"
Seemingly noticing the difference in Meng Xiuyuan's expression, Master Feixuan immediately explained in her unique clear voice:
"In fact, after just a few years of not seeing each other, the young master's demeanor has changed so much that people can't help but be surprised.
It was hard for Fei Xuan to imagine how the young master could master a magic skill like "The Secret of Immortality" that no one had ever mastered to such an advanced level in such a short period of time.
Furthermore, Feixuan has been feeling restless since this morning. She just felt that there would be some special people and special things happening.
But I didn’t expect that this person would be Mr. Meng, you..."
Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, turned to the concubine and said:
"We haven't seen each other for several years, but my teacher hasn't changed much.
At least his ability to speak is still so superb.
If my guess is correct, the word 'special' in the girl's mouth should be changed to 'troublesome' which would be more direct."
Shi Feixuan was indeed an extraordinary person. After hearing Meng Xiuyuan's words, her expression remained unchanged. She just changed the topic and asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"I don't know why Mr. Meng came to Jing Nian Temple.
If the young master wants to visit this Buddhist holy place, Fei Xuan has nothing to do and is willing to travel with the young master..."
Meng Xiuyuan understood the other party's defensive intentions, but he didn't care at all. He nodded immediately, smiled and replied:
"I am worried about how to pay a visit by name so that I can visit this unattainable 'Holy Land of Righteous Martial Arts'.
I think it will be a lot more convenient if Miss Master is with me."
While talking, Meng Xiuyuan ignored the concubine's remarks and took a broad step up the stairs.
"Mr. Meng's words are serious. Jing Nian Monastery is just a pure place for Buddhism, so why should it be said to be unattainable?
Furthermore, given the reputation of the Young Master for his ability to kill the Four Great Bandits and other evil thieves in recent years, there is nowhere in the world that the Young Master cannot go to..."
Master Fei Xuan still had a calm look. After saying something softly, she quietly stayed by Meng Xiuyuan's side.
…
The two of them walked side by side towards the Jing Nian Temple on the mountain, passing by two mountain gates in total.
During this period, many huge pagodas made of large bluestones will appear from time to time in the woods on both sides of the mountain road. Each pagoda is nine stories high. The carvings on the pagoda body are extremely gorgeous, and they are full of dragons, tigers, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas.
, strong men, musicians, flying and other Buddhist images, full of energy and lifelike.
A rough estimate is that the construction of each of these towers alone requires more materials and labor than all the pavilions and pavilions built by Lu Miaozi on Wudang Mountain combined.
When he actually entered Jing Nian Chan Monastery, the scene became even more frightening to Meng Xiuyuan.
I saw that the thousands of majestic palaces were all covered with three-color glazed tiles, the color was like new, and they sparkled under the sunlight.
Among these temples, there are countless statues of Bodhisattvas and Arhats.
These statues are all made of gold and bronze, ranging from two feet high to seven feet low. Each one has different expressions and postures. Whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or lower their eyes and watch inside, they are all lifelike and no different from living people.
The further we walked towards the center of Jing Nian Zen Monastery, the more luxurious the scene became, until the square in the center, which was as vast as a hundred feet, was paved with jade-like white stones.
Behind the white stone square, there is a copper hall that is three feet wide and one foot high, and one and a half feet high. It is made purely of gold and copper without any other materials.
Meng Xiuyuan looked at the scene in front of him, feeling that it was all very dazzling, and his brows were knitted together inadvertently.
"Mr. Meng, on the right is the main hall of Jing Nian Monastery. How about Feixuan accompany you to burn a stick of incense?"
When Shifei Xuan saw Meng Xiu looking at the copper palace from a distance with intense eyes, she thought he had discovered the Heshi Bi hidden in it, so she immediately changed the subject and spoke to him softly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Meng Xiuyuan looked in the direction of the master's concubine Xuan's finger, and saw a majestic main hall. Above the entrance of the main hall, there were four words "The entrant is destined" written on the forehead, and couplets were engraved on both sides.
:
"The drums in the evening and the bells in the morning wake up the rich and famous in the world, and the sound of the Buddha's call brings back the charming dreams of the sea of suffering."
At this moment, the emotion that had been accumulating in Meng Xiuyuan's heart was suddenly ignited, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He turned to the concubine and said:
"Hahahaha, what a person who awakens the world's "famous and wealthy people" and brings back the charming dream of suffering.
This Jing Nian Monastery is indeed a Buddhist holy place, and it really gave me a lot of experience."
Shi Feixuan was a little at a loss by Meng Xiuyuan's sudden attack, and hurriedly asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"Mr. Meng, what misunderstanding do you have?
The host of Jing Nian Zen Monastery has Master Kong practicing hard and closed-mouth meditation. He does not see outsiders on weekdays, so he is not targeting the young master alone.
If the young master feels that he has been slighted, Feixuan is here to apologize to the young master on behalf of Jing Nian Chanyuan..."
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, stopped talking to his concubine, and immediately turned around and walked down the mountain.
Shi Feixuan originally wanted to catch up with him, but there was still a gap between the two in their Qinggong, so they separated a long distance in an instant.
At this moment, Master Fei Xuan felt extremely alarmed, and felt that if she did not explain the matter clearly to Meng Xiuyuan at this moment, she would definitely run into big trouble.
Therefore, this girl who usually looked like a fairy did not care about her demeanor, so she had no choice but to use her luck and shouted loudly to Meng Xiuyuan in front:
"Mr. Meng, I don't know what Feixuan and Chanyuan did wrong to make the master so angry.
Can you let me know so that Feixuan can at least no longer feel confused?"
After a while, Meng Xiuyuan's voice came faintly in the air:
"Master, please stay, I have nothing more to say.
I saw two wonderful sights today, one was Luoyang New City, and the other was the Jing Nian Temple.
Yang Guang was known as the world's greatest tyrant. He built new cities, built canals, and forcibly recruited civilians, which made the world angry, people resentful, and the country unstable. But at least he left behind something that the people of the world could actually use.
And for whom is this Jing Nian Chan Monastery, which is said to be a place of compassion and universal salvation, built to be so splendid and magnificent for its enjoyment?”
