Evil Master and Disciple

Jizhou is one of the nine provinces in the world.

Located in the north-central part of the Shenzhou continent.

Although it is already the first month of the lunar year, the snow here has not melted yet and the climate is still cold.

I have to say that the Buddhists traveled quite quickly. Although they did not fly but rode in horse-drawn carriages, the snow on the official roads had been cleared by the court, and the carriages could travel more than a hundred miles every day on the official roads.

Now Fa Yuan and others are sleeping in a dilapidated temple in the north of Jizhou City, about 500 miles away from the capital.

This dilapidated temple is not big, and it is not a dilapidated Buddhist temple, but an abandoned land temple.

About three miles east of the land temple, there is a small town.

The land temple has been abandoned for many years and has long since stopped being worshipped. The temple is in ruins. Not only have the doors and windows disappeared, but there is also a large hole in the roof.

The statues of the God of Land and the Goddess of Land only have half of their bodies left.

At this moment, there were two carriages parked outside the land temple.

The woman who disguised herself as Chu Liunian was now sitting next to a fire, her chin propped up as she watched the fire in front of her that was constantly making crackling sounds.

There were also two young rickshaw drivers, curled up in the corner of the dilapidated temple, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Monk Fayuan and Master Xuanku sat cross-legged beside another bonfire not far away, meditating and gently turning their Buddhist beads.

Monk Fayuan's eyes were slightly closed and his lips were moving, as if he was chanting scriptures for evening prayers.

The old man, Master Xuanku, was not sleeping in the middle of the night. He was turning his rosary beads while looking at a piece of paper in front of him.

This is a painting with a circular clock on it. In addition to the numbers from one to twelve, the twelve places are marked with the Taoist Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

This clock pattern was drawn on the rock wall of Master Xuanku's stone chamber when Ri Yefeng was in the underground ruins.

The Buddhist practice is inclined towards space and time.

For many years, Master Xuan Ku has mainly been comprehending the law of time.

When others see this picture of a clock on Earth, they might throw it away as waste paper.

But in the eyes of Master Xuan Ku, this simple painting seemed to contain supreme divine secrets.

The laws of space and time are recognized as the two most profound laws of all.

Master Xuan Ku's cultivation is not inferior to the three great monks of Lingtai Temple, but his fame in the world is far less than that of Masters Xuan Zhi, Xuan Kong and Xuan Jing.

The main reason is that Master Xuanku has been in seclusion in Lingtai Temple for hundreds of years, practicing Buddhism and comprehending the laws, and has not appeared in the world for a long, long time.

Master Xuan Ku, as the senior brother of the three great monks, is already very old and has been stuck at the peak of Huaxu for many years. He has never been able to cross that hurdle and enter the Tianzhi realm because he is just a little bit short of comprehending the law of time.

Just this little thing has prevented countless talented monks from overcoming it for thousands of years.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the end of Master Xuanku's life. It will be difficult for him to break through to the limit of heaven during his lifetime. He will pass away in thirty or forty years at most.

But an accident happened.

He met Ye Feng.

And Ye Feng is the chosen one from Earth.

Although there are no laws of time and space cultivation on Earth, that world's understanding of time and space is much greater than that of the Buddhist monks in this world.

Multidimensional universe, the relationship between space and time, etc.

Ye Feng casually explained the time to Master Xuan Ku that day and drew a clock, but it brought endless opportunities to Master Xuan Ku.

This allowed Master Xuan Ku to further understand the law of time, and a crack appeared in the invisible barrier that had trapped Master Xuan Ku for many years.

There seemed to be a flicker of light in the cracks.

That is the light that ends in the sky.

What Master Xuanku needs to do now is to continue to comprehend more mysteries of the world from this clock diagram.

Then tear down the invisible barrier that has trapped you for many years.

The cold wind was howling outside, and the humming sound was like the cry of a ghost, which seemed to foreshadow that something unusual would happen tonight.

In the cold middle of the night, nearly sixty mysterious men in black clothes and veils quietly surrounded the dilapidated temple in the north of Jizhou City. There were even several black-clothed masters in the sky.

Among them was a middle-aged woman who was not wearing a mask.

It was Huang Hua, one of the twelve special envoys around Li Ruoxi.

She had secretly investigated before and found out that there were more than twenty celestial beings and Buddhist masters in the realm of transformation who were secretly protecting Chu Liunian.

But Huang Hua still came.

In addition to the fact that there must be no accidents in this operation, it was also because of Huang Hua's arrogance.

The lesson learned from Special Envoy Bai did not completely wake Huang Hua up.

This time, she mobilized more than fifty masters, the lowest of whom was at the Heavenly Man Realm, and nearly ten of them were at the Heavenly Stop Realm. She felt that it was more than enough to deal with more than twenty Buddhist monks.

After all, most of the people transferred this time are top masters in the Demon Sect, and they are not here to save people, but to kill people.

Saving lives is much easier than killing people.

So the conceited Huang Hua went to the scene in person. She wanted to see Chu Liunian's complete death with her own eyes.

With so many masters appearing around, even the two secret agents from Qingyun Pavilion arranged by Ling Yunzhi noticed it. How could the Buddhist sect not notice it?

Since the Buddhist sect already knew that the other party had sent out so many people, they were still so calm. It can be seen that the number of Buddhist sect members in secret was definitely not more than 20 people.

After all, both the divine monks Xuankong and Xuanjing are here. If they were not absolutely sure, how could these two divine monks come in person?

Huang Hua did not follow the rules of the underworld to tell the people in the ruined temple that they were coming before the action, nor did he ask the Buddhist sect to hand over Chu Liunian.

As Huang Hua waved his hand gently, more than fifty masked masters moved at the same time.

A distance of several miles was nothing to these masters. In a blink of an eye, all these masked masters appeared within a hundred feet of the ruined temple.

Master Xuan Ku, who was looking at the picture, narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly: "They are coming."

Fa Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's finally here."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of thick and strange lights, like dozens of giant pythons, bombarded the abandoned temple from all directions.

This was a full-strength attack from dozens of the world's top masters.

Not to mention a dilapidated temple that could collapse at any time, even a stone mountain made entirely of granite would be reduced to dust under the combined attack of these masters.

It was obvious that Li Ruoxi didn't want to cause any trouble and wanted to end the battle quickly. Not only did she want to get rid of Chu Liunian in the ruined temple, she also didn't intend to let Monk Fayuan and Master Xuanku go.

In an instant, dozens of thick beams of light slammed heavily into the ruined temple.

When these beams of light were about to hit the ruined temple, suddenly a dazzling golden light rose from the ruined temple, accompanied by a deafening roar and violent energy. The ruined temple, which should have been reduced to dust, did not move at all under such a huge energy bombardment.
