I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

Gu Jiu didn't expect that the scene was the same on the other side of the temple.

Looking at the corpses among the tree roots, Gu Jiu couldn't help feeling a little strange.

At this time, the monk's voice sounded again - "Donor, you don't know, this burial method after death is the tradition of our temple, and it has been passed down for thousands of years."

Gu Jiu glanced at the monk and said, "No wonder your temple is not popular anymore."

Thinking about the many corpses of monks here, ordinary pilgrims would be scared to death when they heard about it before coming. Who would dare to come?

The monk smiled slightly and said, "Good, good."

The two of them soon walked into a secluded path. On both sides of the path were the corpses of monks from the Galan Temple over the past thousands of years. Some were still iron blue and relatively intact, while others were left with only white bones.

The so-called corpse field, corpse field, actually came from this.

What surprised Gu Jiu was that even though there were so many corpses here, there was not even the slightest smell of decay around.

The monk seemed to see through Gu Jiu's thoughts and said, "Donor, you don't know that the fellow disciples of this temple are all devoted to Buddhism, and ultimately return to a dead silence. There are no distracting thoughts, and naturally there is no source of rottenness. If there must be any abnormality, it is more like the fragrance of plants and trees."

When the monk talked about this incident, his face was full of joy and he seemed very proud.

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "What you said sounds delicious."

The monk smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your idea is truly bold and bizarre."

After hearing what the monk said, Gu Jiu really felt that the bodies of these monks were like sweet potatoes planted in the fields, big and round.

After walking about three hundred steps, the monk suddenly stopped and looked straight ahead.

In front of us is a group of tree roots that look like a lotus.

Under the "lotus" is the body of a monk. He is surrounded by tree roots and half of his face is covered with moss. He looks like a stone sculpture.

"This is Senior Brother Fang Yuan." The monk said respectfully.

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say there were twenty-two?"

The monk said, "There is only this one at the moment."

"What do you mean?" Gu Jiu couldn't help but ask.

"With each new Senior Brother Fang Yuan who arrives, the previous one will turn into a blaze of heaven and vanish into thin air. So there is really only this one Senior Brother Fang Yuan in this temple now." The monk bowed respectfully to the corpse and turned to leave.

Soon, Gu Jiu was the only one left in this barren land surrounded by tree roots.

Gu Jiu looked at the direction the monk left and asked doubtfully, "Are you really at ease leaving me here alone? Aren't you afraid that I'll eat them all?"

Apart from a few "Good, Good" voices, he was really the only one around.

Gu Jiu walked forward, and suddenly found a circle of ripples in the air in front of him, like the calm surface of a lake being broken by a stone.

Soon, Gu Jiu discovered that the sky and earth around him had changed color.

Then a fish swam out from behind the tree roots.

There is no water here, how can there be fish?

I saw that this fish was quite big, even taller than Gu Jiu. Its body was red and gold, and it had two dragon whiskers. It looked like a fish but not a fish, and like a dragon but not a dragon.

And it quickly spit out a string of bubbles from its mouth, and Gu Jiu realized that he was also in the water.

"Hallucination?" Gu Jiu looked at everything around him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

At this time, the moss on Fang Yuan's body, which was entangled by tree roots, faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His blue skin began to gradually turn white and rosy, until it looked like a living person.

Gu Jiu suddenly discovered that this monk was quite good-looking and had a bit of a holy monk vibe.

He just didn't know why, but he always felt that the other person's face was a little strange.

Then the next moment, the dragon fish spun around his body, causing a series of rolling waves, so that Gu Jiu's body floated upwards.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiu found himself looking into the eyes of the fish.

The huge fish mouth was spewing bubbles right in front of him, which looked a bit scary, so much so that Gu Jiu's five fingers on his right hand were ready to strike.

If the other party dares to eat him today, he doesn't mind grilling the golden arowana.

The next moment, the dragon fish rolled over, swam away, and hid behind the tree roots again.

Gu Jiu discovered that the handsome monk had already opened his eyes.

"You are finally here." The monk sat cross-legged and smiled.

Gu Jiudao: "Are you really waiting for me?"

"You are slower than I expected." Fang Yuan said.

"Because I'm lazy." Gu Jiu replied.

Fang Yuan smiled gently and said, "As long as you come, it's fine."

"Do you know why I came here?" Gu Jiu asked.

"The world is about to collapse, and someone must stand up. You are not from this place, but you have gathered the luck of the world, and you will have great fortune in the future. You are a beauty with jade, and a hero with a sword. Lu Zu cut the ghost gate with his sword and ascended to heaven in broad daylight, leaving behind a sword named "Hao Yu". I have reincarnated twenty-two times and finally waited for you." Fang Yuan said calmly.

Gu Jiu took a step forward and asked, "Where's the sword?"

"Of course the donor has to get it himself." Fang Yuan said.

"Ah? Not only is shipping not included, there's no door-to-door pickup available?" Gu Jiu sighed.

Monk Fangyuan smiled slightly, and his body suddenly began to burn.

Fire in water is a wonderful sight, but burning the body is a bit scary.

"Under the city of Galan, in the imperial tomb of the You Dynasty, in the depths of the cold pond, Bai Yu turns into an immortal. Without heaven and earth, there would be no order. I hope that you will be invincible in the future and bring righteousness to the world." After saying this, the sky fire turned into smoke and disappeared.

The moment the fire burned Fang Yuan's eyebrows and eyes that day, Gu Jiu finally understood why he felt that the other person looked a little strange.

Because he saw himself.

Yes, the other person’s eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to mine.

There was another ripple, like a dream. Gu Jiu stood there and found that everything around him was normal, except that the monk's body was missing.

To raise fire to the sky, is this the Tao?

Gu Jiu looked at the light shining from the crack in the sky and remained silent.

Chapter 39 Very Humble

Gu Jiu stood there, thinking for a long time.

At the moment Fang Yuan turned into heavenly fire and disappeared, he felt that he saw himself.

How could Fang Yuan be like me?

Is it because the other person is also very good-looking?

At this time, there was no water around, and the fish that looked like a dragon but was not a dragon was gone. Everything returned to calm again, with only the tree roots and corpses.

Gu Jiu shook his head, reorganized his thoughts, and felt that he shouldn't think too much now.

The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, and the more complicated it became, the easier it was to confuse people. The purpose of his trip was to get the sword, so now he decided to just think about the problem of Lu Zu's sword for the time being.

The sword is called "Hao Yu". It was once in the hands of Lu Zu and destroyed the Ghost Gate. It is the magic weapon left by Lu Zu in the world.

According to Fang Yuan, the sword was found in a cold pond in the imperial tomb of the You Dynasty.

But where are the imperial tombs of the You Dynasty?

Before Tang Dynasty, during the reign of You and before Tang Dynasty, the capitals of Xia Dynasty were all in Galan, which never changed. Could it be because there was something underground?

Gu Jiu thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go back first.

The information Fang Yuan gave seemed clear, but it was actually vague. Galan City was so big, and the underground space was naturally not small. It was not easy to find the entrance to the imperial tomb and the cold pool in such a large place.

So he decided to find out some information first.

Soon, Gu Jiu returned to the Galan Temple. The monk had already prepared a cup of tea for him.

The monk bowed to him and asked, "Did you gain anything, donor?"

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "I've gained something."

"That's good." The monk replied with a smile.

Seeing him sipping tea so calmly and even taking him on a stroll, Gu Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, you have a special status in this temple."

The monk immediately bowed and said modestly, "No, no, I'm just a small abbot."

After hearing this, Gu Jiu spat out the tea in his mouth with a "pu" sound.

Abbot? The abbot of the world's number one temple? Why should he be so young?

Seeing that Gu Jiu's eyes were filled with doubt, the monk couldn't help but explain: "Nowadays, women are respected in the world. Even my Jialan Temple has declined for many years. Now, it can even be said that it is at the end of its road. It is not a big deal for me, a useless person, to be the abbot."

Gu Jiu looked at the other party and couldn't help but sighed, saying: "Women are indeed powerful in this world, but Master, don't give up easily."

The monk shook his head and sighed, "We want to keep ourselves out of trouble, but the saint doesn't think so. As long as the Galan Temple exists, she will probably always have a thorn in her heart."

Gu Jiu recalled many rumors and frowned, "Could it be that the Guanyin statue is targeting the Jialan Temple?"

The monk smiled and said, "Let's not discuss this matter today. Since you have made some progress, it is truly a blessing for the Temple. Brother Fang Yuan is the secret of my Temple. The reason I am willing to be frank with you is not only because I like you, but also because the Temple is already on its last legs and can't keep many secrets."

Gu Jiu sighed, "I didn't expect the Buddhist ancestral temple to be like this. That woman is amazing."

The monk nodded and said, "It's really amazing."

There was no resentment in his tone, but rather a sense of conviction.

At this time, Gu Jiu asked: "Master, do you know that there is a tomb of the You Dynasty emperor under the city of Jialan?"

The monk nodded and said, "Young man, you have asked the right person. I not only know the existence of the imperial mausoleum, but also know where the entrance is."

Gu Jiu's eyes lit up as he asked, "Master, where is the entrance?"

"There is a Longjing tea in front of the Ganlin Hall in the Galan City Imperial Palace. The secret entrance to the imperial mausoleum is there. It is not only the entrance to the imperial mausoleum of the You Dynasty, but also the imperial mausoleum of the Xia Dynasty and the imperial mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty." The monk took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked, "You mean, the imperial tombs of the three dynasties are all together?"

You must know that it is a taboo for a mausoleum to collide with that of previous generations, and the construction of an imperial mausoleum must naturally follow feng shui and avoid taboos. How could the mausoleum of a ruler of a country make such a mistake?

The monk nodded and said, "It sounds a bit strange, but it is the truth."

Gu Jiu looked at the monk and said, "I never thought that the master, despite his young age, is so knowledgeable and knows such secrets."

The young abbot of the Jialan Temple was not modest and responded, "I can guarantee that there are no more than ten people in the entire Jialan City who know this secret."

Gu Jiu looked at the other person, trying to read something from his eyes.

How does a monk know the secrets of the royal family?

At this time, the monk stood up and said, "Today, I feel like I've known you for a long time. I won't hide anything from you. The current emperor is my mother."

This time, Gu Jiu had nothing more to say.

He could barely accept the other party's identity as abbot before. After all, the Buddhist sect was declining, and choosing a younger person to take over was a helpless move. But now that the other party told him that he was a prince, why did he have the urge to hit him?

"Why do you want to be a monk instead of being a prince? Do you want to learn from Buddha?" Gu Jiu couldn't help but ask.

The monk looked at the scenery outside and sighed, "The Buddha pursued enlightenment voluntarily, but I was forced to do so. If you had a mother like that, you might make the same choice as me."

For some reason, Gu Jiu found that the monk's smile became bitter at this moment.

Not everyone can have such a mother.

He knew the empress's dominance and desire for control, and since he was a man, he was naturally very nervous in the royal family.

Moreover, judging from rumors from the outside world, the empress is sometimes so cruel that she is almost inhuman, and she probably has no family affection at all.

Gu Jiu has always believed that it is feelings, not blood, that connects people together.

No matter how close the blood relationship is, if there is no affection, the relationship will be an empty shell.

Gu Jiu thought that if he were in this situation, he would probably also be willing to become a monk, after all, he could avoid countless troubles and dangers.

Gu Jiu said: "Since she is your mother, can't you show some mercy?"

The monk laughed and said, "Who in this world can disobey her will? If I hadn't hidden in this temple, she couldn't get in. Maybe I would have been killed by her."

The monk said this very calmly, as if it was the most normal thing.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but feel that this woman was really cruel.
