The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

"is it?"

Qin Hao remained noncommittal, looking at Pu Hong with a very mocking expression.

It's like asking, "Do you think I believe you?"
For some reason, Pu Hong suddenly remembered what Qin Hao had said before: he was able to confirm that Pu Zhi was not dead because he sensed cause and effect.

The reason he and Puzhi had a connection was that Puzhi had slapped him before.

Then, did they kill more than two hundred people in Caomiao Village?
This cause and effect is extremely profound and cannot be eliminated at all.

As the local sect in Shenzhou with the deepest understanding of cause and effect.

Pu Hong deeply doubted whether Qin Hao had mastered the Dao of Cause and Effect.

Because even the Tianyin Temple has never grasped the concept of cause and effect; it has only been mentioned in ancient texts.

Pu Hong even wondered if the ancient sages had said this on purpose.

In reality, there is no such thing as cause and effect.

They're just talking the talk.

Where is there any true principle of cause and effect?

But today, Puhong is starting to believe it.

Qin Hao's reaction was completely unexpected.

However, Qin Hao didn't wait for them to say more and said in advance: "Forget it, let's not talk about Puzhi for now. As for the cause and effect of the deaths of more than two hundred people in Caomiao Village, whether Puzhi truly passed away or not, he will pass away sooner or later."

Qin Hao would not let the other party off the hook.

It's already five years too late.

Five years ago, he thought that Puzhi had taken the "Three-Day Death Pill" and was bound to die.

Therefore, he did not expose himself and let Puzhi leave.

Looking back now, would I have risked exposure to kill Puzhi five years ago?
It's pointless, because he can't go back to five years ago.

If he had the ability to rewind time at this moment, he would probably have already reached the Great Luo realm.
There was no point in saying these things back then.

Qin Hao glanced at Pu Hong with a half-smile, then said nothing more.

Anyway, Puzhi is currently in a state of feigned death, so the opponent's condition is definitely not good.

Even if the four great monks combined, they couldn't defeat him, so there was no rush.

Let him live a little longer, half-dead.

Qin Hao smiled and pointed at Pu Hong, saying, "You have Pu Zhi's aura on you. Have you seen Pu Zhi these past few days?"

what?
In the past few days, they naturally went to see Puzhi again.

However, Puzhi did not wake up and remained in a state of being half-dead.

It's somewhat like Nirvana, but not powerful enough for Nirvana.

Pude and the other man were also taken aback, but they did not show it on their faces.

They felt that Qin Hao might be bluffing them.

Qin Hao smiled and shook his head slightly: "To be honest, no one will believe me. I'm not afraid of you either. Even if the four great monks were all together, I wouldn't be afraid."

"Arrogant!" Pud couldn't stand it and shouted a question.

Qin Hao smiled slightly, not caring: "You all know the truth."

Alright, enough chit-chat. You've been discussing this for a long time now, it's time for a decision.

Let's talk about something else, something to settle the karmic debt between Tianyin Temple and me.

Besides providing intellectual education, I have another request.

"You!" Pude was furious.

This person's performance seems to make him as weak and easily defeated as a clay chicken or a dog from Tianyin Temple.

But Puhong stopped his two junior brothers.

He could sense a deadly threat from Qin Hao.

His feeling was right; Qin Hao was indeed very strong.

Moreover, intelligence has come in that he is actually still in seclusion at Dazhu Peak of Qingyun Sect.

Because no one saw him leave the house.

But he appeared at Tianyin Temple so easily.

“Tell me your requirements,” Pu Hong said, his face growing increasingly miserable.

He sensed that this time, he was going to have to pay a heavy price.

Qin Hao glanced at Pude with a playful expression before looking at Puhong and saying, "The abbot is truly generous. I've heard there's a blank jade disc on the back mountain of Tianyin Temple?"

Ok?
"How do you know?"

"who are you?"

This blank jade disc completely broke the defenses of Pu Hong and the other two.

It should be noted that the Great Brahma Prajna was comprehended by the patriarch of Tianyin Temple from the wordless jade disc.

Over the years, these people have all tried to glean some further insights from the blank jade disc.

Perhaps, like the Qingyun Sect, it can also improve the Taiji Xuanqing Dao and the Dafan Prajna.

Although the Great Brahma Prajna has been improved by countless generations of masters, it has now been updated countless times.

Qin Hao said, "Never mind how I know, there are very few secrets in this world that can escape my eyes. The wordless jade disc is no exception."

Pude strongly objected.

The opportunity presented by the blank jade disc was extremely rare, although many of them managed to glean some insights from it.

But none of them are very good.

At least, no one has ever been able to press the ancestral master's hand.

However, this also represents an opportunity.

Their comprehension may not be as strong as Qin Hao's.

Otherwise, how could someone who has cultivated for five years have been able to overpower the three of them?
Qin Hao wasn't in a hurry, seemingly quite certain that Pu Hong would eventually agree.

Pu Hong naturally agreed. After a while, Pu Hong chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, it is fine. Benefactor, I will have Fa Ming take you there."

"Senior brother."

"No need to say more, let him go. Do you think Tianyin Temple has no responsibility whatsoever for the lives of over two hundred people in Caomiao Village?"

"But?"

"No buts, let Benefactor Qin Hao go."

Once Pu Hong made the decision, Qin Hao grinned as if it were New Year's Day, and went with Fa Ming.

Fa Ming's expression was also very unpleasant, but Qin Hao didn't care at all.

Since he couldn't beat him, Fa Ming's expression only reflected his own discomfort.

After Qin Hao left.

Pude questioned, "Senior brother, why?"

Pu Hong said bitterly, "One of them is about something that happened five years ago. In the end, it was Pu Zhi who made the mistake."

"But that's..."

"Regardless of the reason, the lives of the people in Caomiao Village are not a justification for Puzhi's actions. How innocent were the villagers of Caomiao Village?"

Pu Hong said with pity, "What's more, I felt an immense threat from him. It was as if he could kill me at any moment. And it was an immense threat, with no chance of winning whatsoever."

"How can it be!"

Pude simply didn't believe it.

But he had no choice but to believe it.

Because Puhong is the abbot of Tianyin Temple, Pude does not believe that the other party would abandon the interests of Tianyin Temple.

Pu Hong shook his head and said, "If I don't agree, they might massacre the Tianyin Temple."

"He dares."

"Thousands of lives lost at Tianyin Temple..."

"The villagers of Caomiao Village also lost hundreds of lives. My two junior brothers, there's no need to say more. Besides, the blank jade disc is a treasure of our Buddhist sect; he may not be able to comprehend anything about it."

“But senior brother, don’t forget what Junior Brother Puzhi said back then. He sensed danger and dropped a rosary, which contained the cultivation method of the Great Brahma Prajna. Besides, Zhang Xiaofan also has one, so he might pass it on to Qin Hao.”

"this?"

Pu Hong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Buddhist scriptures require Buddha-nature. I haven't sensed it in him. Besides, the Buddhist realm will awaken his Buddha-nature in him, making him more inclined towards Buddhism. At that time, the crisis will naturally be resolved."

So that's what my senior was planning.

Indeed, after studying Buddhist scriptures and practicing Buddhism, one will tend to lean towards Buddhism.

Unless one becomes possessed by a demon.

Otherwise, an inclination towards Buddhism would be like being poisoned or brainwashed.

The three of them said no more and returned to the underground palace. There, sitting cross-legged, was a man named Puzhi.

It appeared that Puzhi had not died, but rather was in a deep sleep.

It only suits his face, and he often shows a sad expression.

All three of them knew that Puzhi had maintained his life even though he had practiced a secret technique.

They also frequently imbued Puzhi with their magical powers.

But the meridians in Puzhi's body seem to be breaking every moment.

The entire body was broken.

This means that even though Puzhi faked his death, his soul was still under constant torture.

Seeing Puzhi's appearance, Pude sometimes felt...

Instead of suffering like this, why not just give Puzhi a quick death?

But in the end, they still couldn't bear to part with it.

"Never mind, let's see how well he understands it."

In the end, the three of them said no more.

Qin Hao followed Fa Ming all the way to the back mountain, and slowly walked deeper into the dense forest.

Qin Hao is highly skilled and daring, so he's not worried about these things at all.

If it weren't for wanting a legitimate reason to come, Qin Hao could have simply come here and forced his way in.

There were many disciples of Tianyin Temple guarding the area in the shadows.

If it were someone else, they would probably be stuck here.

Qin Hao, however, strolled around leisurely, showing no concern whatsoever.

Faming was actually going through a lot of inner turmoil.

Qin Hao immediately overpowered the three monks of the Pu generation.

He had a very poor impression of Qin Hao.

They wished they could tear Qin Hao to pieces in order to restore the reputation of Tianyin Temple.

But in the end, Faming did not cause any further complications.

He dare not.

Qin Hao's strength is formidable, even if he seems unprepared.

However, no matter how many of these experts there are, even if they form a battle formation and use all their magical treasures, they are absolutely no match for them.

Although the blank jade disc was very precious, he still chose to bring Qin Hao to the blank jade disc.

"This place seems to be a secluded foothills? It even seems to have a natural, psychedelic effect. Why haven't you made a move yet? I'm waiting for you to make your move."

Fa Ming was terrified: "Are you waiting for me to make my move?"

"Of course," Qin Hao said calmly. "Five years ago, that old bald monk Puzhi attacked and wiped out more than two hundred people in my Caomiao Village. They were all unarmed mortals."

Looking at you now, my skills are just like Puzhi looking at the villagers of Caomiao Village five years ago.

However, I am different from that real bald monk, Puzhi, who is only pretending to be kind.

I won't take the initiative to lay a hand on you weaklings.

But if any weaklings provoke me, then I won't hesitate to take you in.

Veins bulged on Faming's forehead.

A real bald monk, a fake kind-hearted man, unarmed and a weakling.

Which word isn't offensive?
However, the cold sweat on his forehead gently condensed.

It fell down her cheeks.

It's terrifying.

This person was actually planning to use entrapment to enforce the law.

As soon as they make a move, the other side will not hesitate and will mercilessly wipe them all out.

That was like swatting a fly.

He felt a surge of indignation.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Qin Hao had said about the villagers of Caomiao Village five years ago.

How innocent are they?
Although he still felt that his Uncle Puzhi's merits outweighed his demerits, and that his efforts to suppress the Bloodthirsty Bead were a great achievement.

In my mind, Qin Hao's words flashed through my mind again: merit is merit, and demerit is demerit.

Where is there any concept of offsetting merits and demerits?
These are all things they can only dream of.

"It doesn't matter, you can leave now. Or you can stay, just don't bother me, otherwise I won't hold back."

As Qin Hao spoke, he walked up to the seemingly unremarkable cliff face in front of him.

It just looks a bit smooth.

"This is the wordless book of heaven?"

Alright, the treasure will self-destruct, and the wordless book will not be revealed casually unless under special circumstances.

But this does not mean that the wordless book is unknowable.

"Moreover, my Primordial Mirror can also make copies. When the time comes, after copying five volumes of the Heavenly Book, it may be possible to restore this Heavenly Book Stele. This is also an extremely profound and powerful Heavenly Book Stele."

It is at least more powerful than those Heavenly Book Steles in the Qianyang Realm.

However, the Qianyang Realm possesses 99 Heavenly Book Steles, far exceeding the number of Heavenly Book Steles.

Qin Hao sat cross-legged, seemingly oblivious to the outside world.

An idea popped into Faming's mind.

If I were to launch a sneak attack at this moment, would I be able to kill him in one strike?

But in the end, Famin shook his head and did not do so.

He wasn't sure, and he couldn't do that.

Despite the deep-seated hatred between Qin Hao and Tianyin Temple, the other side only chose to use a sting operation instead of directly eliminating them.

Faming would not do something like taking advantage of someone in distress.

He simply didn't know that Qin Hao had opened his eyes after he gave up.

Then a fleeting look of disappointment crossed my mind.

Qin Hao was genuinely waiting for Fa Ming to make a move so he could kill him with a legitimate reason.

The saying goes that Bodhisattvas fear the cause, while ordinary people fear the effect.

Qin Hao also had a vague feeling about this at this time.

He didn't want to create unnecessary consequences.

Puzhi was destined to die, and he wanted to kill Puzhi to avenge the more than two hundred villagers of Caomiao Village.

However, the others at Tianyin Temple were not directly involved in the cause and effect.

Killing these people only increases one's own karmic burden.

"Forget it, let him be."

Faming thought Qin Hao was unprepared, but in reality, all treasures have self-protection functions.

If Faming really wanted to make a move, he would be killed instantly, leaving not even a trace.

Over there, the eight members of the Qingyun Sect met at the agreed-upon location after exploring Kongsang Mountain.

Qi Hao glanced at his fellow disciples and said, "Let's summarize the situation. Let's discuss what to do next."

Kongsang Mountain is no ordinary place; it has many traps, and in its deepest part, members of the Demonic Sect lurk.

Qi Hao saw it too.

He just didn't want to alert the enemy, so he didn't take action.

After Lin Jingyu and the others had spoken, it was Zhang Xiaofan's turn.

But instead of revealing his findings, Zhang Xiaofan tightened his grip on his Soul-Capturing Staff.

This thing was jokingly called a fire poker by his fellow apprentices.

Zhang Xiaofan knew that this was a divine weapon from the Nine Heavens, and even of better quality than a divine weapon from the Nine Heavens.

He turned his head and looked in a certain direction, shouting sharply, "Who goes there? Come out!"

Qi Hao and the others were all stunned for a moment, and then they sensed something was wrong. They all took out their magic weapons and looked in a certain direction.

"Amitabha, you truly are worthy of being a senior brother from the Qingyun Sect."

Faxiang and the others slowly emerged from the shadows: "This humble monk Faxiang greets all the senior brothers of Qingyun Sect."

"Greetings, fellow disciples of the Qingyun Sect." (End of Chapter)
