The next morning, the autumn atmosphere became even more intense.
Magistrate Su arrived early at the government office, having accumulated a large amount of paperwork from his patrols. He was about to begin work, but he saw a piece of paper on the desk, held down by an inkstone. It contained only a few words: "There is a serious case at the Zhu residence in the south of the city. A demon has led a tiger to devour people's hearts, leaving corpses piling up in the courtyard."
Magistrate Su frowned. He no longer cared to trace the person who left the message; he only wanted to confirm its authenticity. So he shouted, "Come on, gather the police and march to the Zhu family mansion in the south of the city!"
…
At the same time, three dusty monks came to the north gate of Tongqu County. If Zhao Zhuan saw one of them, he would be shocked. It was Wei Potian, the leader of the Wei alliance, who went to Dalin Temple to obtain the secret book of "Golden Bell Cover" for Su Rui. The other two were the White-browed Monk and his disciple, Monk Zhitong.
After being detained by the White-Eyebrowed Monk in Dajiao Town, Alliance Leader Wei began having the same dream every night. In his dream, he entered a magnificent, spiritually charged hall. Around the hall sat a variety of bodhisattvas and arhats, and in the center sat a Buddha several feet tall. Shockingly, these bodhisattvas weren't clay sculptures; each one was alive, each bearing a Dharma wheel behind their heads, their appearances solemn and auspicious.
When he entered the dream for the first time, the Buddha, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "Foolish boy, haven't you realized yet?", and then recited scriptures that he had never heard before.
From then on, he dreamed almost every night, in which the Buddha would ask him whether he had attained enlightenment or not.
Leader Wei didn't know what he was trying to understand, but since being taken in by the White-Eyebrowed Monk, he had been having the same dream every day. He suspected that the White-Eyebrowed Monk was behind this. So, in the middle of the night, he secretly went to the White-Eyebrowed Monk's meditation room to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, he saw a Buddha statue behind the White-Eyebrowed Monk. It was the Buddha he had seen in his dream!
This really scared him!
Although he had confirmed that the dream he had been dreaming of daily was the work of the White-Eyebrowed Monk, he no longer dared to question him. The old monk had clearly transcended the realm of mortals, reaching a realm unknown to him. Although he believed he had reached the end of the mortal martial arts, he also knew that he was no match for a transcendent being like the White-Eyebrowed Monk.
Just as he was about to leave secretly, he heard a familiar voice.
"Foolish boy, only when you understand your mind and see your nature can you see my Buddha. Now that you have seen the Buddha, it means that your fate with my Buddha has arrived!" The Buddha's Dharma body behind the white-browed monk seemed to have known about the existence of old man Wei for a long time, and said to the person hiding outside the window.
Old Man Wei knew that he really couldn't escape this time, so he had to admit defeat.
He shaved his head that night and became the disciple of the White-browed Monk.
He finally obtained the secret manual of the Golden Bell Cover, and the White-Eyebrowed Monk even taught him the Arhat Subduing Demons Scripture, helping him transform his innate martial arts qi into Arhat Subduing Demons Qi. However, he ultimately sacrificed the rest of his life, becoming the Dalin Temple monk he once despised.
After Wei Potian became a monk, he was given the Buddhist name "Yuanwu" by the White-browed Monk. From then on, the world lost the leader Wei and gained the monk Yuanwu.
After Old Man Wei became Monk Yuanwu, he was still thinking about Su Rui, his unaccepted "disciple". It happened that the White-eyebrowed Monk was going to the Shiwan Mountains in the southwest and would definitely pass through Tongqu County, so he followed him all the way and finally returned here one day.
…
However, after Su Rui left a message to Magistrate Su and did a good deed, he took Wu Qianqian to Shi Yi's yard, intending to check on the physical conditions of Shi Yi and Chen Feng before deciding on the next itinerary.
On the way, when the two passed by a street market, Wu Qianqian suddenly said that she wanted to buy a small animal to try out the spirit control technique. Su Rui accompanied her to the street market for another round, and when they came out, Wu Qianqian had a furry little bear in her arms.
Tongqu County is surrounded by mountains, and hunters often catch bear puppies. Therefore, it is not surprising that Wu Qianqian was able to buy a bear puppy.
Su Rui also thought the little guy was cute, and there was no way he could tell he would grow up to be a giant beast.
Arriving at Shi Yi's courtyard, Su Rui saw that Shi Yi was safe and sound, diligently copying books. Chen Feng's injuries were too severe, and he would likely be bedridden for several months.
Over the past period of time, the Sanying Gang has swept through the ruffians and bullies in the four major districts of the county. The next target will be the evil spirits outside the city.
However, Su Rui felt he needed to wait a while longer, waiting for the others to master the Soul Controlling Technique and cultivate Soul Controlling Qi before leaving the city. During this time, he could also accumulate more Gengjin Qi to increase his own attack power.
Su Rui discussed with a few people and expressed his ideas, and everyone agreed.
Afterwards, Wu Qianqian and the others continued to comprehend the "Spirit Controlling Technique" together, but today Shi Yi joined them. Meanwhile, Su Rui continued to absorb the golden spirit energy from the square bronze tripod to condense Gengjin Qi.
As the judge had previously stated, the "Gengjin Sword Qi Jue" he had obtained was only a fragment of the Qingcheng Sword Art. According to the deduction from the small diagram, the current "Gengjin Sword Qi Jue" can be divided into three levels. The first level can only produce three-inch sword energy, which is relatively fragile and belongs to the lowest level of sharpness, but can also break magic weapons; the second level can produce six-inch sword energy, which is relatively tough and has a further increase in sharpness; the third level can produce nine-inch condensed sword energy, which is the sharpest and can break flying swords. The sword art ends here. Su Rui deduced that there must be subsequent immortal techniques, but he probably needs to join the Qingcheng Sect to obtain them.
Now the Gengjin Qi he has accumulated is already the size of an egg. He is just getting started and is still at the first level of "Gengjin Sword Qi Jue".
At noon, Su Rui was awakened by Wu Qianqian's cheer.
