Chapter 254 Shock
It is early spring, but the chill of winter has not yet completely passed.

Monk Baoshu sat quietly on a cold stone next to the most remote and narrow gate of Baiyun Temple, meditating with his eyes closed for many days.

Although he never said a word, nowadays not many monks think that "hearing about Master Baoshu is not as good as meeting him in person."

All this was because as Master Baoshu's time in meditation gradually increased, his appearance became like a dead tree that came back to life with the change of seasons.

It has a bit of the meaning of "killing thoughts and saving the Dharma body", cutting off all delusions with the sharp blade of wisdom, and reviving the true nature in endless silence.

The former skinny and shriveled appearance has now completely disappeared.

Instead, her skin became shiny and supple, and even her appearance seemed to have been reborn.

Many monks were even surprised to find that with the passage of time, even under the stubborn stone where Zen Master Baoshu was sitting cross-legged, tenacious new buds broke through the shackles of the stone and were born again little by little.

No one knows when a seed was planted under this stubborn stone, nor does anyone know how long the seed has been buried under the stubborn stone.

Logically speaking, this seed will eventually rot and die under endless "burial".

But now, the arrival of Zen Master Baoshu has given this seed a chance to change its fate.

Some people may think that using magical power to create a seed is nothing special.

Any cultivator who has mastered the "Mu Yuan Technique" can do it, but no one would think of seeing the seed regain its vitality throughout the whole process, or even miraculously breaking through the hard stone and sprouting.

All this was because Zen Master Baoshu did not perform any magic or use any magical power from beginning to end.

The reason why this miracle was accomplished was simply because Zen Master Baoshu spontaneously exuded a certain Buddhist charm as he went through the process of death and rebirth with the flow of the seasons.

It is this mysterious Buddhist rhyme that created this miracle!

Sensing the subtle Buddhist charm of Zen Master Baoshu and the tender buds symbolizing miracles not far from his body, countless monks watching the battle cast looks of admiration and even respect towards him.

In fact, the more a cultivator understands, the more he can feel the power of Baoshu Buddha.

Floating Cloud Fairy City.

In a restaurant not too far from the narrow door where Baoshu was sitting cross-legged, the Bamboo Moon Fairy could sense from afar the tender bud beside Baoshu Buddha that had broken through the stubborn stone and was about to die, and she couldn't help but show envy on her face.

"When one's cultivation breaks through a certain limit, one can attract the mysteries of heaven and earth to infuse the body. This kind of adventure is extremely rare. Even in a large sect like ours, there are very few records of this kind of infusion of the mysteries of heaven and earth. Breaking through the foundation at the thirteenth level of Qi training is already a relatively mature path, but there are still very few people who can attract the mysteries of heaven and earth to infuse the body."

This time, even Fairy Jiyue couldn't help but nodded when she heard this, "It is indeed very difficult. I also relied on the Guanghan Sword and sat under the laurel tree in Guanghan Immortal Mansion for many years. Only then did I successfully attract a ray of extremely cold heaven and earth mysteries to infuse my body."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Zhuyue couldn't help but feel extremely envious.

Although she was fortunate enough to be listed as one of the Five Phases of Guanghan, she did not do enough to attract the mysteries of heaven and earth to permeate her body.

Although later on, thanks to the replica of Guanghan Mirror, she finally got what she wanted in this regard and received some compensation.

However, when it comes to the mysteries of heaven and earth being infused into the body, getting it early or getting it late can sometimes be two completely different concepts.

In fact, it is not Zhuyue's fault. In fact, it is extremely difficult to obtain this kind of mysteries of heaven and earth.

Take the mastermind behind Hu Xiaolu's tragic life as an example. In order to allow Hu Xiaolu to awaken her magical powers and obtain a ray of the mysteries of heaven and earth, it took decades of preparation.

They even started planning this many years before Hu Xiaolu was born!
For someone like Zhong Lixiao, the reason why he was able to be so successful and obtain the infusion of the mysteries of heaven and earth twice was inseparable from his many magical powers.

As Zhong Lixiao's research on supernatural powers deepened, especially using supernatural powers as a medium, he saw the door that carried the Great Dao. Zhong Lixiao then vaguely realized that supernatural powers themselves might be the carrier of the Great Dao.

The so-called mystery of heaven and earth is itself a manifestation of the Tao.

It is truly remarkable that Monk Baoshu was able to gain the mysteries of heaven and earth by comprehending the Zen of dead trees.

Not only the two knowledgeable fairies from Guanghan Immortal Mansion were envious, but even the Taoist disciples from other knowledgeable immortal sects who came to visit were envious.

for example.

Sikong Ruzheng from the Qunxing Sect, Cui Fahua from the Sixiang Taoist Palace, Lu Xuyun from the Qingxu Sect, and Jian Pankong from the Moyun Sword Sect.

The Star Gate has its own independent little world, and the location of the mountain gate is mysterious;
The Four Symbols Taoist Temple is located in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang, surrounded by mountains and filled with miasma.

Qingxu Sect is located in Yan State, northeast of Da Chu. Although the population is small and the country is small, the strength of Qingxu Sect should not be underestimated.

The Moyun Sword Sect is located in Yong State, southwest of Da Chu. It is a notoriously haunted place with high mountains and dense forests and difficult transportation.

but.

These sects are the most famous and powerful sects in the land of China.

The Taoist disciples and saintesses from these sects will inevitably be the focus of attention wherever they go.

For some smaller sects, even the leader and the supreme elder have to come out in person to greet them.

But now they were all attracted here because of the movements of Monk Baoshu, and the person who received them in Baiyun Temple was naturally Yu Yunmu.

Although no one in Baiyun Temple has ever called Yu Yunmu "Daozi", his status has always been special.

Jian Pankong, a Taoist disciple of the Moyun Sword Sect, looked at the scene from afar where the seeds under the stubborn stone took root and sprouted simply by relying on his own Buddhist rhythm, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"This precious tree, the withered wood Zen has really reached a high level of cultivation. Is your sect's Zhong Lixiao really the mysterious Li Feiyu?"

As soon as Jian Pankong finished speaking, Sikong Ruzheng, Cui Fahua, and Lu Xuyun all looked at Yu Yunmu.

Yu Yunmu couldn't help but frowned. He said calmly, "Maybe, maybe not. If you want to know, go and verify it yourself. But as a cultivator of Baiyun Temple, I will do what I should do."

When everyone heard this, they understood and smiled.

Recently, perhaps Yu Yunmu was also very annoyed by the matter of Li Feiyu.

If they want to know, they can verify it themselves, but if they cross the bottom line of Baiyun Temple, Yu Yunmu will take action.

This also shows Yu Yunmu's extremely strong self-confidence!

Of course, through the meaning behind his words, everyone could feel that Yu Yunmu might really not know.

But what is foreseeable is that the sudden appearance of a young master like Zhong Lixiao who is suspected to be "Li Feiyu" in Baiyun Temple must have made Yu Yunmu's heart far from being as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Jian Pankong of the Moyun Sword Sect looked at Sikong Ruzheng of the Qunxing Sect and asked, "Fellow Daoist Sikong, you saw Li Feiyu take action at that time. If this Zhong Lixiao is really Li Feiyu, how do you think he compares to Fellow Daoist Baoshu?"

Sensing the inquiring eyes of many fellow Taoists around him, Sikong Ruzheng immediately smiled and said, "Who can know this? At least the Taoist friend named Li Feiyu, the fire method that is similar to the Tao Fire of the Kitchen God is very powerful. A flame shot out and Granny Bian lost half of her body, hehe."

As soon as the words were spoken, the scene fell silent again; even Yu Yunmu did not speak.

Granny Bian is the protector of Fairy Zhuyue of Guanghan Immortal Palace.

All the skills that he practiced were basically related to Guanghan and Taiyin.

but.

Facing Li Feiyu's fire magic, he almost lost his life in the first encounter. You can imagine how magical that fire magic is.

To be frank, one of the main reasons why people are so keen on finding Li Feiyu is that they want to learn from him the method of refining the Kitchen God's Taoist fire.

That's right!

The big pit that Zhong Lixiao dug before leaving last time did kill a lot of people.

Many cultivators saw that Li Feiyu had successfully refined the Kitchen God's Taoist Fire, and its power was so terrifying, so they naturally became interested.

In their hearts, since Li Feiyu can do it, they can naturally do it too.

Then, without exception, these people turned into a handful of ashes under the Kitchen God's fire.

This has attracted countless cultivators who practiced fire magic all over the world, all of whom hope to find Li Feiyu and learn the trick of refining the Kitchen God's Taoist fire from him.

The power of the Kitchen God's Taoist Fire is so terrifying that no cultivator can truly completely extinguish the desire to refine it for their own use.

of course.

This also brings up another question. If Zhong Lixiao is really the mysterious Li Feiyu, how should Monk Baoshu deal with the Kitchen God's Taoist fire that can burn almost everything?
At this moment, Yu Yunmu suddenly took out the Five Spirit Mirror. After seeing the message on it, a smile suddenly appeared on Yu Yunmu's face.

"Junior Brother Zhong has come out of seclusion."

This short sentence immediately caused a huge sensation. Countless people perked up and opened their eyes at the first moment.

It seems to be a Daozi-level battle, but I haven’t seen it for many years.

And this is bound to be a feast!
boom!
Countless people looked up at the same time, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a golden light.

But the speed of this ray of light was too fast. It had just caught their eyes when, in the blink of an eye, it had landed near the side door where Monk Baoshu was sitting cross-legged.

What was even more unexpected to everyone was that not only Zhong Lixiao arrived, he was even accompanied by three disciples.

Everyone was surprised again.

How could he escape so quickly with three disciples?
This is really
As soon as Zhong Lixiao and his three disciples arrived, they immediately became the absolute focus here.

Not only the eyes of other Taoist disciples and saints fell on him, but also the scrutiny of many other disciples of Baiyun Temple who had gathered here early.

Many of these disciples are Zhong Lixiao’s “junior brothers and sisters”, and the oldest one entered the sect ten years later than Zhong Lixiao.

They were indeed very familiar with Zhong Lixiao, their "senior brother".

After all, he only entered the mountain gate ten years earlier than them, but this senior brother Zhong Lixiao has a lot of halo around him.

Ranked first in the entrance examination that year;

He was directly accepted as a personal disciple by the Yuanying Patriarch;

Leave your name on the monuments of War God Temple, Floating Cloud Tower and Heart Sea Pavilion;

The renowned alchemy master within the sect had a high success rate and a very good reputation. Even independent cultivators used various channels to ask this senior brother for help in refining pills.
Each and every one of them is extremely dazzling.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Zhong Lixiao did not travel much in the martial arts world, his legends are everywhere in the world.

And these are just his junior brothers and sisters, many of Zhong Lixiao’s senior brothers and sisters also came this time.

of course.

The largest number of them belong to the senior brothers who entered the school at the same time as Zhong Lixiao!
Gu Yunting, the son of Sandu, Wu Shouqian, the prince of Bao, Chiye, the son of Yugong, Hua Manlei, Xiang Xueer, Huo Changgong, Sikong He, Panlongzhu, Qiu Xie.
Today, these former favored ones have basically already built their foundation for many years, and some have even gone a long way on the road to building their foundation.

No matter from which angle you consider it, it can be considered excellent.

No matter where you go, you will be absolutely dazzling.

but.

No matter how fast they practice, they still have an extremely long way to go before they can form a pill.

Compared with Zhong Lixiao.
If the rumors on the Internet are true, there is no possibility that they can be compared with Zhong Lixiao.

To put it bluntly, they just happened to be in the same assessment as Zhong Lixiao, that's all!

Qiu Xie was mixed in with the crowd, he had gained weight and looked extremely fat.

He looked at the young man from afar who was riding a beam of light and coming with his three direct disciples. His mind couldn't help but emerge with the scene four years ago when Zhong Lixiao dressed up as "Fan Zaicheng" and threw a bucket of dirty water on him, forcing him to sever his meridians.

Afterwards, the memories of his first meeting and second meeting with Zhong Lixiao emerged in his mind uncontrollably, and a trace of resentment and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

But even so, Qiu Xie was clearly aware that a huge gap had already opened up between him and Zhong Lixiao.

No matter how much hatred he harbored in his heart, he could only suppress it now.

Qiu Xie glanced at the monk Baoshu who was sitting cross-legged in front of the side door, and the condescending aura that had been dispersed around him, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, Qiu Xie felt a pair of eyes looking at him.

Qiu Xie's heart suddenly sank.

It was a very ordinary look, but it seemed to see directly through his clothes, penetrate the flesh he had accumulated over the years, and see through his soul.

Qiu Xie couldn't help but feel a little horrified and lowered his head in panic.

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhong Lixiao's face.

Qiu Xie, it turns out he is also a master of supernatural powers!
What a clever way of covering up.
No wonder he always felt a sense of disharmony when he looked at Qiu Xie back then.

I just don’t know who covered it up for him!

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao's gaze swept over the fellow disciples who came from all directions to watch the Tao, and a smile appeared on his face.

I have to admit that there are quite a lot of familiar people here to watch the game today!

Finally, Zhong Lixiao's gaze fell on the monk Baoshu who was sitting cross-legged on the stubborn stone.

Perhaps it was because Monk Baoshu had been sitting here for many days, and due to the wind and rain, his skin and clothes were inevitably covered with a lot of dust.

In addition, Monk Baoshu has a thin body and a protruding jaw, giving people an overall feeling of being skin and bones.

There is no doubt that Monk Baoshu is not handsome in appearance, and even looks a little ugly because of his skinny body.

It's not the case that a clean monk like Tang Seng is innocent. Any female demon who sees him will want to tie him up and take him into the cave to do something bad with him.

but.

Zhong Lixiao looked through the surface and felt the amazing vitality from Monk Baoshu.

Zhong Lixiao could not help but be surprised. This monk Baoshu really was worthy of being a Buddhist disciple of the Vajra Temple. His attainments in the Zen of withered wood were indeed high.

Judging from its Buddhist rhythm, it has almost embarked on a path of rebirth towards death.

While Zhong Lixiao was observing Monk Baoshu, Monk Baoshu also opened his Buddha eyes for the first time in a long time.

His face was very thin and his jaw was very prominent, which made his eyeballs look particularly large.

And when he opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Lixiao, his big eyes appeared unusually bright and radiant.

There was surprise and inquiry in these eyes, but more of it was curiosity.

Buddhism talks about understanding, wisdom, and sudden enlightenment, but even so, there are still not many people who progress at such an astonishing speed as Zhong Lixiao.

Not to mention that Zhong Lixiao also studied the Buddhist "Golden Body of Arhat". Although Buddhism is the Tao and they are different paths to the same destination, there are still huge conceptual differences between the two systems.

Monk Baoshu was born in Vajra Temple. No one knew better than him how difficult it was to open many chakras and extract the legendary "nectar" from the Ocean of Milk.

but.

But Zhong Lixiao, an outsider, did it at an incredible speed!
Not to mention Baoshu, even the many great masters in Vajra Temple, none of them could achieve this level at Zhong Lixiao's age.

Therefore, Monk Baoshu really wanted to know the mystery.

Not only that, Monk Baoshu also wanted to know the secret of how Zhong Lixiao refined the Kitchen God's Taoist fire.

Monk Baoshu stood up, and the young seedling behind him, which looked like a tender sprout, grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a short time, the young seedling grew into a big tree.

The tree crown is like a canopy, protecting the monk Baoshu underneath it, just as if the big tree is inspired by the Buddha's voice and actively grows to help the Buddha block the scorching sun and wind and rain.

What is even more incredible is that in a very short period of time, Monk Baoshu himself became visibly "plump" and even "thick" .

If we say that not long ago, Monk Baoshu was skinny and not handsome at all, giving people the feeling that "meeting him in person is not as good as hearing about him".

Now, Monk Baoshu felt as if he had attained enlightenment overnight.

His body was shining brightly, and he gave people a feeling of the majesty and compassion of the Buddha.

The many monks who were watching the battle were all stunned, and the scene became silent.

Is this the Baoshu Buddha from the Vajra Temple?

This is too strong!
At this moment, not to mention the ordinary spectators, even other famous Taoist disciples and saints could not help but frown.

They suddenly understood why Baoshu Buddha was so obsessed with challenging Zhong Lixiao, who was suspected to be Li Feiyu.

Kurumu Chan has already reached the stage of Baoshu Buddhist disciple who is living towards death. If he is defeated in the battle against the mysterious strong man who easily defeated Zhuyue and Shi Xiwen, he will undoubtedly be able to strongly announce to the world the power of Vajra Temple Buddhist disciples.

In addition, before Baoshu Buddha came, he must have known about the existence of the Kitchen God's Taoist Fire, but he still chose to challenge it.

That only means that Monk Baoshu is not only not afraid of the notorious Kitchen God's fire, but is even confident that he can use the Kitchen God's fire to melt his golden body.

There is no doubt that this is an incredibly powerful opponent.

At this moment, even these Daoist saints who were usually proud and never thought of themselves as inferior to others could not help but feel a little bitter in their hearts.

As for Zhong Lixiao, although these Taoist saints did not know all of his cards, they knew one thing - Zhong Lixiao's cards were firmly grasped by Monk Baoshu.

In front of the stubborn stone.

Under the Buddha tree.

The Buddha, who had already been reborn towards death and had become dignified, looked at Zhong Lixiao with a smile and said, "You are finally here."

Just a few simple words, but they can show the strong self-confidence of Monk Baoshu.

He is confident of winning this battle.

All the guesses made by the other Daoists and Saintesses were correct!
At this moment, not only has his withered wood Zen reached perfection, but he also has a deep knowledge of Zhong Lixiao's various information.

This was not an unprepared battle, but rather a battle for which we were fully prepared.

Zhong Lixiao could naturally sense the pride of Monk Baoshu, and understood why he was so proud.

but.

Coincidentally, Zhong Lixiao is now very confident and proud.

Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "Aren't you going to ask something? For example, "Arhat Golden Body"?"

Monk Baoshu smiled and said, "It's not important. With Brother Zhong's status and knowledge, I don't think I need to explain to him how to deal with the Arhat Golden Body."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.

I don't know how long this battle has been circulating.

Anyone who knew something about this battle knew clearly that the most important reason why Monk Baoshu sat cross-legged at the side door of Baiyun Temple to "block the door" was to get Zhong Lixiao to give him an explanation for secretly practicing the "Arhat Golden Body" secret book.

As a result, Monk Baoshu said, "It's not important."

You said that Monk Baoshu was treacherous, but he immediately slapped himself in the face, demonstrating the principle that "monks do not tell lies" to the fullest.

You say he is an honest monk, but he dares to use the "Arhat Golden Body" as an excuse to block the door and force the emperor to abdicate.
Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

Also!

The "Golden Body of Arhat" incident is not important, it is just an excuse.

Zhong Lixiao: "Since this is the case, I, Baiyun Monastery Guizang Peak Zhong Lixiao, would like to ask for your guidance."

Monk Baoshu looked at Zhong Lixiao's right hand that was stretched out as an invitation, put his hands together, and said seriously, "I know from the Internet that Brother Zhong has a seal called the Mountain and River Seal and a fire called the Kitchen God Dao Fire. I wonder if I can have the honor to see it."

Zhong Lixiao said calmly, "When the need arises, perhaps you will be able to see me, fellow Daoist."

As soon as the words were spoken, the scene became even more silent.

You can hear the needle drop.

When the need arises, can the Buddha's disciples see it?
His opponent is Baoshu Buddha, who is naturally gifted with Buddhist charm and has already practiced the Zen of dead wood to an extremely high level. He is too arrogant!

Countless people at the scene gasped at the same time.

In addition, Zhong Lixiao did not seem to deny the existence of the Mountain and River Seal and the Kitchen God's Fire. The sun rose from the west?
Upon hearing this, Monk Baoshu's eyes remained as calm as water.

There was no anger, nor any ridicule.

As a Buddhist disciple of Vajra Temple and a master of dead tree Zen, Monk Baoshu had long since cultivated his state of mind to be like a dead tree.

Do not be happy because of the dew, and do not be angry because of the wind and frost.

Monk Baoshu didn't say much, but just moved his hands repeatedly and made a Vajra Seal.

but.

With just such a simple hand seal, the energy of heaven and earth at the scene seemed to be completely controlled by Monk Baoshu, and a huge shadow of Buddha appeared behind him.

Like a mountain, like a bright sun.

The higher you look at it, the higher it gets; the deeper you drill into it, the harder it gets, to the point where people dare not even look directly at it.

Countless people were extremely shocked, and even looked at the sudden appearance of the Buddha's shadow in awe.

Almost all those who are fortunate enough to stand here and watch the battle are monks.

They all knew that the one that appeared was the Dharmakāya of the Jindan stage, but even so they still could not express the shock in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful."

After Monk Baoshu finished speaking, he immediately pressed down on Zhong Lixiao with his palm.

In just a moment, the Buddha's palm was like a Five Elements Mountain pressing down, trying to completely suppress Zhong Lixiao inside it.

In fact, everyone was not mistaken in their perception. It seemed to be just a simple palm strike, but it contained infinite mysteries and could even seal space.

This is not a simple palm, but a palm that stands at the top of the Dharma body and isolates all spiritual energy with the supreme wisdom of the Tao.

Directly cut off the connection between the opponent and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and completely kill the opponent.

There was not much change on Zhong Lixiao's face, and he didn't even move too much.

Everyone subconsciously thought that Zhong Lixiao was frightened silly by the superb skills of Baoshu Buddha, his mind went blank, and he even forgot how to attack.

but.

What no one expected was that such a shocking palm, when it got close to Zhong Lixiao, suddenly began to collapse piece by piece for unknown reasons.

Everyone at the scene was petrified instantly!
