Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

"Isn't it evil for a righteous person to do evil things, Mingzhi Senior Brother?"

"Brother Mingzhi, isn't it righteous for people of the demonic path to do good deeds?"

"Brother Mingzhi, does practicing the magic formula necessarily mean you are evil?"

"Brother Mingzhi, is it good or evil to go astray while practicing the righteous way of magic?"

"Brother Mingzhi, do we have to distinguish between the righteous and evil paths so clearly? Is there a clear boundary between good and evil?"

"Brother Mingzhi, it has been a thousand years, how come there are still good and evil? Since evil ways are despised by people, why are there still so many people who continue to practice?"

……

On a tree-lined path in Lingxu Mountain, Shen Yichen and Monk Mingzhi walked up the mountain side by side, with A-mei following them, hopping and skipping behind. Along the way, Monk Mingzhi's head was almost like a rattle. Shen Yichen asked one question, and he shook his head without saying anything. He asked another question, and he shook his head without saying anything.

"Brother Mingzhi, do you think I am good or evil?" Shen Yichen finally asked Monk Mingzhi with a serious face. Monk Mingzhi was in deep thought for a long time and finally shook his head without saying a word!

"Fuck you! You say Amitabha when it comes to trivial matters, but when it comes to serious matters, you shake your head and say nothing!"

Shen Yichen couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed.

"Brother Mingzhi, your future achievements will definitely surpass Master Wuwang!" Shen Yichen said speechlessly.

Shen Yichen never imagined that his unintentional words would become reality one day in the future, but would that reality be a joy or a sorrow?

"Big brother, you are obviously a good person! Do you need to ask the monk?" A'mei answered at the right time!

Shen Yichen looked at A'mei with satisfaction. After such a long time, just these words made him feel relieved!

"Look at you, you're raping a woman, but you don't even touch her if you don't like her and just leave. What a gentleman!" A-mei said seriously!

"I..." Shen Yichen's thoughts were in a mess.

The three of them walked in silence for about another five miles, then they heard the sound of people talking.

"Is this the Sword Saint Dojo that is rumored in the cultivation world?"

"There are so many sects here, it can't be wrong!"

"This is too desolate! There are broken walls and ruins everywhere."

"Look carefully, maybe there will be a lost treasure!"

"Did this Taoist brother find anything?"

"Brother, five thousand taels, one price, I will tell you which direction the treasure is!"

"Tsk, don't believe him, in the yard to the east, the asking price is five hundred taels!"

……

Shen Yichen and Monk Mingzhi rushed over upon hearing the noise!

"Two masters, you are late. I will give you the latest information with fifty taels!"

A man with shifty eyes and wearing a ragged green shirt saw three new people coming and hurried forward to speak.

"You are the master? Are you blind? I have hair!" Shen Yichen cursed mercilessly, putting him and Mingzhi, that stupid monk, on the same level as masters, what a disgrace!

"He is indeed blind! Didn't he see that there were three masters?" A-mei's miraculous finishing blow, one for each master!

"Amitabha, benefactor, I have no money when I go out. Can I make a good fortune for you?" Monk Mingzhi said to the hawker.

"You three poor bastards. You have no money so you have no money, but you still like to pretend. What a spoilsport!!" The sly-browed man said and left.

"Brother Mingzhi, we are late, what should we do?" Shen Yichen asked subconsciously, but he knew it was a waste of time, so he pulled the monk Mingzhi who was about to shake his head and ran to the highest point. Along the way, they met many people in different clothes, who should be people from various sects in Manghuang.

Shen Yichen and Monk Mingzhi walked for a long time. When they reached the highest point, there were not many people there. They must have all been there before, because the grass on the ground was trampled to pieces!

Shen Yichen looked down. The entire Taoist area was very large. From top to bottom, it was about one thousand meters, and from left to right, it was about eight hundred meters. It was as if the entire mountainside of Lingxu Mountain had been hollowed out.

"This! This! Is the saint's temple so big?" Shen Yichen said to himself in shock.

"Big brother, big brother, why are you running so fast? I almost can't catch up with you!" A-mei's voice came again, and A-mei was seen running towards this side with sweat on her face!

"Ah, I still can't get rid of her!" Shen Yichen thought to himself. He wanted to take advantage of the crowd to get rid of A-mei, because Mingzhi Monk said that he was only responsible for taking A-mei to where there were many people, so when Mingzhi Monk followed Shen Yichen up the mountain, he didn't take A-mei with him.

Shen Yichen ignored A'mei, used his internal energy to fly up, and looked down at the entire dojo from the air. Everyone ignored the person who flew up, because they had already flown over to see it when they came!

Shen Yichen discovered in the air that the entire dojo was divided into five parts, with the middle as the center, symmetrical left and right, and symmetrical up and down. These five parts clearly had some traces of houses, and the people searching were also concentrated in these five parts. Some used their skills to fight around, and some used swords or sticks to poke around, without disturbing each other, because no one seemed to have found the rumored treasure! The weeds in the five areas were basically gone, and some unwillingly began to search the connecting roads of the five areas.

Shen Yichen used his spiritual sense to explore the entire area. After a quarter of an hour, he found that except for a few people with high cultivation, there was nothing special in the entire Taoist temple!

Shen Yichen flew back to Monk Mingzhi and A-mei. The two of them didn't care. Monk Mingzhi was just a guide, and the master didn't ask him to do anything! A-mei looked indifferent.

Shen Yichen decided to check out the different areas, even though he knew it might not help at all because the soil had been turned over by everyone. The three of them went down a little and entered the northern area.

"I heard that the young master of Yingzhou Cangxingmen found a lotus furnace!"

"It's just an ordinary incense burner. Every temple has one. Masters from several sects have seen it. It's nothing special."

"The Yinghai faction found a bronze iron furnace in the east."

"The Young Master of the Yanyue Sect found a gold-inlaid green-glazed tripod, which is priceless!"

Shen Yichen looked around and listened to the conversations of people around him.

"You said this Sword Saint's dojo is very strange. There is nothing related to the Sword Saint, only incense burners."

"My uncle deduced that this might be a swordsman who practices both Buddhism and swordsmanship. Buddhism is for cultivating the mind, and swordsmanship is for achieving sainthood!"

The more Shen Yichen listened, the more suspicious he became. He had a vague feeling that this was not the Sword Saint's Dojo, but the Fuchen Temple.

So, Shen Yichen pulled Monk Mingzhi and flew towards the sky above the middle area.

Ah Mei was shouting from below: "You stinky monk, why don't you take me flying!"

Shen Yichen said to Monk Mingzhi:

"Brother Mingzhi, I think this is the Fuchen Temple on Lingxu Mountain!" He pointed to the east, west, south, north and the ground below, "These are the five meridians corresponding to your Five Directions Buddha!"

Monk Mingzhi looked around, shook his head and said nothing, because he really didn't know!

"Oh, forget it! Let's go!" I can't ask anything, I don't know anything! Shen Yichen didn't understand why Master Wuwang sent Monk Mingzhi here!

The crowd searched the mountain from noon until sunset. Some sects had even searched the mountain yesterday, but found nothing. Sects big and small all began to walk down the mountain, shaking their heads and sighing. They came with high hopes but returned shaking their heads in disappointment.

There were also sects that went to the depths of Lingxu Mountain to continue searching, but after a few dozen miles, they were blocked by heavy snow. Seeing the snow covering the mountain, it was impossible to build a sage's temple! They went down the mountain silently. Some people did not go down the mountain, the young master of Yanyue Sect. He stayed on the mountain not for treasures, but to find the person who ruined his good deeds, because the elder of Yanyue Sect came - a master from Linxian Realm!

Shen Yichen walked around the five areas without any results, and sighed inwardly:

"Fuchen Temple has really returned to dust!"
