At this moment, when Zhou Qing stood outside the mountain gate of Nake Temple, the originally quiet black air suddenly twisted like a snake, foreshadowing something.
"So it's that thing..."
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
This wisp of black air came from the true demon from outer space that was attracted when he was promoted to the realm of manifestation of holiness. It is the original breath of the true demon.
This was something that the god took from the True Demon and gave to him after he was caught by the Moon God when he practiced the Three Supreme Kowtows in an attempt to absorb the power of the Moon God.
The true devil has countless changes and is impossible to sense. He does not disguise himself through Taoist magic or treasures. Compared with other creatures in the world, the true devil has thousands of faces and no one knows the true appearance of the true devil.
But it’s different now. With this breath of original energy, I can lock onto the real demon.
As long as he is nearby, he can be sensed. As long as he appears in front of Zhou Qing, he can be found no matter what form he takes.
The True Demon didn't know that Zhou Qing had such means, and at that time, the Moon Goddess's actions were not something the True Demon could detect.
According to the Moon God, as a true demon who came here for fate, he has a sense of Zhou Qing and can determine Zhou Qing's location.
But Zhou Qing was unable to sense him, as he was clearly in the dark while the enemy was in the light. However, the Moon Goddess helped Zhou Qing solve this problem.
And Zhou Qing really didn't expect that the real devil was actually in Longjing Mountain?
When he knew that he had attracted the real demon, he had been keeping an eye on this thing, but he had not found any trace of the demon. He thought that the real demon had left Hanzhou, but he did not expect to meet it here.
There really is always light at the end of the tunnel.
"The problem at Longjing Mountain was caused by the True Devil?"
Zhou Qing thought for a moment, then turned and left. He quietly approached the Shuiyuan Taoist Temple, but the True Demon's Origin's aura did not react.
As for me, I haven't found anything either. So far, the only suspicious thing is the Ke Temple.
Zhou Qing thought about it and gradually came up with a plan in his mind.
He met Mirror Wo, and looking at Mirror Wo who looked exactly like himself, Zhou Qing was thinking about a question.
Will the real devil be able to sense me when he sees me in the mirror?
After all, this is another him.
And since there is a real demon hiding in the temple, Zhou Qing’s previous infiltration plan would not work.
But it doesn’t matter. The purpose of sneaking in is to find out what’s inside. Now he has skipped the process through special means and got the answer directly, so there is no need to sneak in.
Zhou Qing decided to go to the house openly.
This is Hanzhou. Is there any place that he, the ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple, cannot go to?
He changed his appearance and hid his identity because he didn't want to make it public. He wanted to investigate quietly first to avoid alerting the enemy.
Some things appear differently to people with different identities.
But now…
The snake was already watching him in the dark.
Then he would just run over it!
A stone staircase stretches upward and leads to the mountain gate of Nakhe Temple.
The mountain gate was wide open, and two monks were stationed outside the gate. They looked down the stone steps, and then looked at each other.
I saw someone walking up the stone steps slowly and calmly with an indifferent expression, and finally came to the gate of Nake Temple. His eyes first fell on the high hanging plaque.
The gatekeeper shouted, "Who are you?"
"Xuan Du's true teaching, Zhou Qing."
The expressions of the two gatekeepers suddenly changed.
"Bang!"
There was a dense sound of footsteps, and the sound was very heavy, as if the person stepping on the ground was of unusual weight.
A group of rooms is a place in the temple where guests are received.
Inside the group of rooms, Zhou Qing listened to the footsteps outside, and then saw several people walking in one after another. They all had extraordinary aura and were full of the aura of enlightened monks.
Zhou Qing stood up and said:
"Abbot Lingyu."
He knew one of the visitors. He had seen information about him in Xuandu Temple. He was the current abbot of Nake Temple, Master Lingyu.
Having reached the first level of true blood refinement, his strength is already considered top-notch in Yuanshan County.
Abbot Lingyu and several others walked towards Zhou Qing with compassionate smiles on their faces.
"Donor Zhou."
The abbot of the temple was very polite in front of Zhou Qing. His seriousness could be seen from the fact that he personally came to receive Zhou Qing.
Both parties took their seats and after a few polite greetings, Abbot Lingyu asked Zhou Qing what business it was that brought him to Nake Temple. He said they would never refuse as long as they could help.
They had never seen Zhou Qing before, at most they had only heard of his name, but when they met for the first time, they were extremely friendly, as if Zhou Qing and Nakesi had a very close relationship.
This is the status of Xuandu Zhenchuan in Hanzhou.
Of course, this is also due to Zhou Qing’s outstanding talent and strong strength.
If those Xuan Duzhens with the lowest ranking were to come here, it would not be necessary for Abbot Lingyu to receive them personally.
"I was originally planning to go to Jingzhou, and when I passed by Longjing County, I heard about your temple, so I came to take a look. There's nothing special about it."
Zhou Qing said, "Abbot may not know that before I embarked on the path of cultivation, I had already visited many Buddhist temples to pray. Now that I pass by your temple, I have to come."
When Zhou Qing brags, his face doesn't blush and his heart doesn't beat fast, and no one can tell that his boasting is false.
Besides, he had indeed been to some temples in his previous life. He was just a mortal at that time and he didn’t lie.
The smile on Abbot Lingyu's face deepened.
"It turns out that Donor Zhou is also a Buddhist."
No, I am Xiang Mo.
"Could you please ask the abbot to find a master to take me on a tour of your temple?"
Zhou Qing said, "Don't worry, Abbot. I just want to feel the charm of Buddhism. Your temple is a sacred place and I won't offend you."
"Of course."
Abbot Lingyu said, "How about I personally take Mr. Zhou to have a look?"
Lingyu thought it was a great thing that a true disciple of Xuandu was devoted to Buddhism. Moreover, this donor Zhou was very famous. If he could make friends with him, it would be a hundred benefits and no harm.
Although he is the abbot of a temple and a top figure in Yuanshan County, he is really nothing in this vast land of Hanzhou.
“I couldn’t ask for more.”
A few people left the group room, but did not ask all the monks to follow them. At the signal of Abbot Lingyu, a few of them went to do their own things.
Zhou Qing casually glanced at their backs and then looked away.
The people who appeared before him now were not real demons.
Not long after those people left, they met another person.
"Master Linghui, my master sent me to find you."
"Take me there quickly."
On the other side, under the guidance of Abbot Lingyu, Zhou Qing visited the Nakke Temple.
Although this is a place of spiritual practice, it also has a complete range of Buddhist buildings, including those found in secular temples outside.
In addition to practicing Buddhism, Buddhist forces must also constantly study Buddhism. Their attainments in Buddhism can often even influence the practice of Buddhists.
A person who is proficient in Buddhism is not necessarily a powerful practitioner, but a powerful practitioner is definitely proficient in Buddhism.
Not long after, Zhou Qing and his group arrived at the main hall.
When Zhou Qing entered the hall and saw the huge Buddha statue enshrined in the center, he paused, then followed naturally without any unusual change in his expression.
The palace was majestic and vast, and inside it was a statue of Buddha that Zhou Qing did not recognize.
Abbot Lingyu said solemnly: "Donor Zhou, this is the Kejue Ming Buddha, the embodiment of wisdom and the symbol of compassion."
Zhou Qing looked at the golden Buddha with a sad look in his eyes.
On his body, the talisman that sealed the true devil's original aura became more active than ever, pointing at the Buddha statue.
What is that Buddha of Enlightenment?
I'm afraid it's a demon.
But, the real demon can not only transform into other forms, but also into a dead object like a Buddha statue? To be honest, Zhou Qing did not see anything strange about this Buddha statue. Although the material was good, in his view, it was indeed a Buddha statue, not a living being.
Of course, he couldn't wantonly explore the Buddha statue next to Abbot Lingyu, as that would be too offensive.
so……
There is something wrong with this Buddha statue. Does the abbot beside him know about it?
Before Abbot Lingyu could continue to introduce him, he heard footsteps outside, and then two people walked in.
One was an old monk with white eyebrows, and the other was a young monk who looked dull and honest.
Abbot Lingyu bowed immediately.
Zhou Qing glanced at the old monk.
Yuanfa, a person of the same generation as Abbot Lingyu, was the former head of the Discipline Hall of Nake Temple. According to the records of Xuandu Temple, he had reached the third level of true blood refinement.
He is considered the strongest person in that temple and the only master of the third level of refinement.
But Zhou Qing just glanced at Yuanfa and paid no more attention to him. Instead, he set his sights on the young monk next to him.
After the young monk appeared, the original breath actually pointed to him? This surprised Zhou Qing. The original breath reacted to the Kejueming Buddha statue and also to the young monk. What was going on? Could it be that there were two real demons?
No, the Moon Goddess only gave me a ray of original breath, which means there should be only one true demon.
This matter is quite interesting...
When Abbot Lingyu and others were greeting each other, Zhou Qing also learned the young monk's Buddhist name.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Fazhen is a disciple of Master Yuanfa.
"The ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple has come to our temple. I am late, please forgive me, Mr. Zhou."
"Master Yuanfa, you are too kind. It is I who am the one who is bothering you."
Zhou Qing did not explode immediately, mainly because both the Buddha statue and Fazhen had reacted to the True Demon's original aura, which made him a little confused and he had not yet figured out what was going on.
There are already two, so could there be a "third" true demon? If there really is one, then if we suddenly start a fight now, I'm afraid that things won't be handled properly. We must find out exactly how many true demons there are.
This is Zhou Qing's own calamity, and he must deal with it cleanly without leaving any residue.
And Zhou Qing was not sure whether the problems in Longjing Mountain were caused by the real demon.
Xuandu Temple asked him to solve the problem here, but he was not given any clue as to what the problem was.
He discovered the true demon, but it was hard to say whether there were other problems.
If Zhou Qing had a chat with the master of Xuandu Temple, he would understand everything. Unfortunately, they couldn't have that chat.
In short, Zhou Qing is not in a hurry. The True Devil will definitely kill him. It can be said that the True Devil's mission in this world is to kill him. Only by doing so can the True Devil be completely free.
Now that he appeared in front of the real devil, the other party would not let him go. Zhou Qing's best choice was to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.
Because the true devil didn't know that Zhou Qing had discovered him. From the true devil's perspective, Zhou Qing probably didn't even know that the devil had arrived.
Who allowed a being like the Moon God to interfere?
Now the positions of light and darkness, and the offensive and defensive situations have changed.
"This is my young disciple Fazhen, who has always longed for the style and grace of Xuandu Zhenchuan."
"Fazhen has met Brother Zhou."
Fazhen had a simple and honest smile on his face. Anyone who saw him would not think that there was anything wrong with him.
Everyone has to be honest.
Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said:
"Junior Brother Fazhen has a good cultivation base and is extremely intelligent. He is truly a genius of Hanzhou."
Fazhen smiled innocently, looking somewhat happy but also a little reserved.
Keep pretending.
There is absolutely no way that the Moon God could go wrong with his methods, at least not when it comes to a real demon that he had summoned from his divine realm.
Therefore, no matter how realistic this Fazhen is, he must be the real devil.
It really is a thousand faces.
"It's already dark now. If you don't have anything important to do, why don't you stay in this temple for a night?"
Monk Yuanfa said, "It just so happens that the Dragon Realm Mountain God is holding a banquet tonight and has invited me to go to the Dragon Realm Divine Domain to attend the banquet. I wonder if you are interested?"
"If the mountain god knew that Mr. Zhou was coming, he would surely be extremely happy and would cordially invite you."
"Dragon Realm Mountain God?"
Zhou Qing's heart moved slightly. There was a mountain god banquet at this time... Was it a coincidence, or was there another reason? Could the True Demon Society be related to the Dragon Realm Mountain God?
"I don't have anything urgent to do. The Dragon Realm Mountain God is famous and I have admired him for a long time."
Zhou Qing said: "But I just arrived at Longjing Mountain, so I don't want to disturb you rashly."
That Dragon Realm Mountain God is at the second level of Yin God Transformation, but because of his divine body, if someone enters his divine domain, then even the third level of Yin God Transformation will be unable to do anything to him and will definitely be killed by him.
The strength of a god within one's own divine domain and that of a god outside of it are two completely different concepts.
Zhou Qing must be crazy to directly enter a god's realm when the enemy and friend are unknown.
If any accident happens after entering, even the Six Spirit Puppets will not be able to withstand it.
"I have stepped into the shoes of someone else."
Yuanfa smiled and said, "Why don't you rest in our temple for one night? The disciples in the temple are very awed and curious about Xuandu Temple."
Finally, after some refusal and politeness, Zhou Qing agreed to stay overnight in Nakke Temple.
This was his original intention, to see more things.
Later, Abbot Lingyu took Zhou Qing away. Looking at Zhou Qing and the others' disappearing backs, the smile on Yuanfa's face disappeared and he looked at Fazhen.
"Why do you insist on keeping Zhou Qing for one night? What on earth do you want to do? I warn you, he is one of the ten great disciples of Xuandu, and he must not get into trouble in Nake Temple!"
"Otherwise, the wrath of Xuandu Temple is enough to destroy the entire Nake Temple. We can't stop it, no matter where you come from!"
Fazhen still maintained a simple smile on his face, "Master, don't panic."
"I know how powerful Xuandu Temple is. It is a sect ruled by immortals. I have always been in awe of them. How could I dare to harm the Ninth True Disciple?"
"If I murder him, there will probably be no place for me in the entire Hanzhou. I will have no way to escape. I will not take the initiative to seek death."
"That temple is very useful to me, I won't let anything go wrong with it."
"So what exactly are you planning?"
Fa Zhen replied: "Master, you know my ability. I just want to see if I can plant a seed in this Xuandu Ninth True Transmission, and try to gradually influence and control him in the future."
"If you can control one of the ten great disciples of Xuandu Temple, I don't need to explain the benefits. Master, you should also know it."
Yuan Fa looked uncertain, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. After a while, he asked, "What if we get exposed?"
"It won't be exposed. I'm absolutely sure of it."
Yuan Fa shook his head solemnly, "No, this is too risky. If anything goes wrong, Xuan Du Temple will be attracted. We can't afford such a huge risk."
That’s Xuandu Temple, one of the overlords in the world. Compared with it, the Ke Temple is not even as good as a leg hair.
Wanting to control the ten true teachings of Xuandu Temple is too crazy. Just thinking about Yuanfa makes me feel like the sky is full of dark clouds.
This kind of thing would be fine if it was done by a first-rate force, but their temple...
Too weak.
When Fazhen heard this, the smile on his face faded and he stared at Yuanfa.
"Yuan Fa, don't you want to advance to the Chedi realm?"
"Our deal does not include helping you control this Xuandu Zhenchuan!"
"As long as you advance to the Chedi realm, then even if the truth is revealed, what does it matter? You can just leave Hanzhou. The world is big enough for a Chedi realm to stay."
"Even if you lose the Nakshatra, you can still build a better one!"
Fa Zhen said coldly: "Even if you don't agree to this, I will still do it. You should know my methods."
"If the truth is revealed because you don't cooperate with me, then what will happen to you if I reveal the deal between us?"
Yuan Fa was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where are the Dragon Realm Mountain God and Taoist Han Feng?"
"I'll convince them both."
Fazhen put his hands behind his back and looked at the statue of Kejueming Buddha, and a strange scene appeared.
The Buddha's eyes actually blinked and turned dark! Yuan Fa saw this scene, but he was not surprised or surprised, and remained silent.
"I hope you really have the ability to control Zhou Qing."
Finally, Yuanfa left this sentence and left the palace alone.
Fazhen was left alone in the palace. His face began to blur and change, and his features could not be seen clearly. It was as if he had thousands of faces. Only a light laugh was heard from him.
"The greedy and foolish human race would listen to the words of a demon and abandon everything for a fantasy dream I made up. The Temple of Destruction is still useful to me now, but it will soon be useless..."
"If I kill him, I can replace him and get everything he has. Then I can truly integrate into this world."
As for the consequences of killing the Ninth True Disciple of Xuandu Temple? What does it have to do with him?
People died in Longjing Mountain, so the wrath of Xuandu Temple would naturally be borne by Longjing Mountain. He didn't care whether everything here would be destroyed by Xuandu's wrath. They were just some human beings who were so stupid that they couldn't be any stupider.
The death of many people has nothing to do with him, he doesn't care, his only goal in coming to this world is to kill that person!
Then, he will have a new life! (End of this chapter)
