Chapter 107: Brother Xuanji, you came out of seclusion and your family was separated (x)...
Chi Yu flew into the canyon. Qingluan was a wood-attributed monster. Once he entered its range, his spiritual power became stronger. The entire canyon was full of rare and precious herbs, and there were signs of them being picked.
This shows that the character of this monster is indeed very good. Within the scope it allows, human cultivators can pick the spiritual plants in its territory.
Chi Yu took out the photo stone, turned up the volume, and started playing music.
Scientific research shows that many animals like to listen to music, and birds are more sensitive to high notes, so Chi Yu played Guangling San.
The canyon's topography acts as a natural amplifier, allowing sound to reach every corner.
This music attracted some birds and monsters, which stood on the treetops and watched him with flapping wings.
Chi Yu waited for a while, and seeing that the Qingluan monster did not respond, he changed the song to "High Mountains and Flowing Water".
The mountain streams attracted more birds and monsters, but Qingluan still did not react at all.
Chi Yu had no choice but to——

Later, the entire canyon was filled with all kinds of strange-looking birds and monsters, but Qingluan still had no reaction.
Chi Yu suddenly had an idea and said to himself, "It seems that Senior is not at home, so I can only come back another day."
After saying this, he collected the photo stone and was about to turn around to leave when he suddenly heard a clear bird song in the distance.
"Wait a minute." A clear and pleasant voice came from somewhere in the canyon.
Chi Yu raised the corners of his lips and stopped.
Xie Xiyi waited outside the mountain for more than half an hour. Although he let Chi Yu enter the territory of the Qingluan monster, he was also paying attention to the situation in the canyon from time to time. If there was any fluctuation of spiritual power, he would be able to discover it at the first time.
However, to his surprise, there was no fluctuation of spiritual power from beginning to end.
Chi Yu walked out of the canyon with relaxed steps.
Xie Xiyi saw it and said, "If you can't do it, forget it."
Chi Yu said, "Did I say it's impossible? No, right?"
As he said this, he took out the authentic object from the Xumi Ring, "Ding ding ding, I got the Buddhist authentic object you wanted."
Xie Xiyi looked at him with a little more scrutiny, "You..." How did you do that?
Xie Xiyi swallowed the rest of his words and said calmly, "Not bad."
Chi Yu laughed and asked, "Aren't you curious about how I did it?"
Xie Xiyi said calmly, "I'm not curious. That Qingluan has a gentle personality. I guess you made some kind of exchange with it."
Chi Yu said, "Yes, actually I was just taking a gamble. Birds actually love to listen to music. They have beautiful singing voices, and the blue phoenix's song is even more beautiful. So I bet that this blue phoenix monster beast in the fusion stage also likes music. Fortunately, my bet was successful."
Xie Xiyi asked, "What if the bet fails?"
Chi Yu said, "Even if the bet fails, it won't kill me, right?"
Moreover, he thought about how he was assigned to the territory of this blue phoenix as soon as he entered the Tiangang Secret Realm. He always felt that he should be able to get the authentic Buddhist object.
"..." Xie Xiyi took the Buddhist beads from Chi Yu's hand and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to promise you?"
Chi Yu said without a second thought, "Brother Xuanji, I hope you can be nicer to yourself. I'm actually very sad that you've torn your body into pieces."
Xie Xiyi was a little surprised, "Is that it?"
Chi Yu: "Yeah, that's it."
Xie Xiyi pondered for a moment and said, "I think you can find someone else. I value my life very much and will not treat myself badly."
He raised the corner of his lip and smiled. "These things on me are indeed useless to me. Since you practice Zen, you will naturally understand that Buddha bones and eyeballs are merely instruments for Zen practice. They transcend external form and return to their original appearance. I felt no pain when I dismantled them."
Chi Yu said, "But I can feel that your heart is hurting, Senior Brother Xuanji. Your heart is hurting very much."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He didn't say anything else, but changed the subject, saying, "Time is running out. The exit to the Tiangang Secret Realm will be opened tonight, and you can leave now."
Chi Yu's eyes sparkled brightly, "That's great."
Xie Xiyi: "Change it."
Chi Yu smiled broadly, without any shadow, and said in a clear voice, "No need, Senior Brother Xuanji, this is it. Although you are Senior Brother Xuanji from another world, as you said, your existence transcends external form. Tracing back to the source, you are all my 'Senior Brother Xuanji'. I know Senior Brother Xuanji. He always speaks tough, but his heart is softer than anyone else. He loves Xiaoqiu, his parents, his brothers and sisters, and his family."
"He said that survival of the fittest is natural selection, and the strong prey on the weak. If his family were to be exterminated, that would be in accordance with the laws of nature. But I know that if such a thing really happened, he would definitely avenge the people he cared about."
Chi Yu paused and continued, "I understand what's right and wrong. Brother Xuanji, I won't say a word about what you're going to do. You can seek revenge, but I ask you to care more about yourself. Get what you want, and take what you like. Revenge doesn't conflict with satisfying your desires or cultivating your character."
Xie Xiyi said, "You are quite talkative."
Chi Yu smiled and said, "Yes, to be honest, Senior Brother Xuan Ji likes my mouth the most."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He had never seen anyone who was so good at climbing up the ladder.
Chi Yu asked him, "Brother Xuanji, can this Buddhist bead really fulfill people's wishes?"
Xie Xiyi said nonchalantly, "It's just a legend. I'll tell you if I can verify it."
"I'm afraid I can't, because I have to go back soon." Chi Yu said.
Xie Xiyi's light brown eyes shone with a deep color, like a deep pool of water. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he whispered, "That's right."
As night falls on the Tiangang Secret Realm, the entrance to the secret realm finally opens.
The meditators flew to the exit and gathered.
Chi Yu saw the uniforms of the disciples of the Luopo Zen Sect, but the faces were all very unfamiliar, and none of them were faces he had seen before.
Xie Xiyi stretched out a hand. Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, but soon he grasped Xie Xiyi's wide sleeve.
Xie Xiyi laughed and said softly, "Don't get separated."
Chi Yu smiled and said, "I know."
They did not squeeze in with the meditators, but followed them at a leisurely pace.
A Luoper disciple saw Chi Yu, reached out and patted him, and asked, "Which Zen temple are you from?"
Chi Yu replied, "I'm from Dao Di Zen House."
The other party was very surprised and said, "How is that possible? I am from Daodi Zen House. I have never seen you before."
Chi Yu lied, "I teach privately 1v1, and only VVVVIPs can get this treatment."
Roper's disciple: "...Huh? There's such a thing as private lessons? And what is VVVVIP?"
Chi Yu: "A relative."
Roper's disciple: "...I understand."
The disciple distanced himself from him and walked away quickly.
"It seems that people with connections are always annoying no matter what time it is." Chi Yu turned his head and said to Xie Xiyi.
Xie Xiyi said, "You are destroying the reputation of Luoper Zen Sect."
Chi Yu laughed and said, "I think the reputation of Luopo Zen Sect cannot be ruined by me alone. Three people can make a tiger, and I am just one person."
Xie Xiyi looked him up and down without saying anything.
It will be their turn soon.
When Chi Yu was about to walk out of the Tiangang Secret Realm's exit, Xie Xiyi suddenly said, "There's one thing I forgot to tell you."
Chi Yu stopped and tilted his head slightly to look at him.
The boy's bones were thicker than water, and his beauty was more stunning than that of a fairy. In the world of cultivation where every man was handsome and beautiful, he was considered outstanding because he had a pair of extremely rare bright eyes, and the brilliance revealed in those eyes could make many immortal kings and fairies pale in comparison.
At this moment, he tilted his head slightly and looked at him. His mouth did not move, but his bright eyes had already revealed his question. "What's wrong?" His beautiful eyes asked.
Xie Xiyi stared at his face and said, "After you step out of the Tiangang Secret Realm, there is only a very small chance that you will return to your original world."
Chi Yu's pretty face showed a surprised expression. He asked, "...What do you mean?"
Xie Xiyi said: "Literally, returning to the original world is only a small probability event, and the greater probability is that it will be crushed by the rules of the world."
The corners of his lips curled up, revealing an ambiguous smile. "In other words, if you leave the Tiangang Secret Realm, you will most likely die and not even a trace of your soul will be left."
Chi Yu looked at him quietly, "Brother Xuanji, you didn't forget, did you?"
Xie Xiyi raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"
Chi Yu said: "Because you are Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you will not forget such things. You are doubting me."
I doubted his relationship with his senior brother Xuan Ji, his feelings for Xiao Qiu, and everything about him.
Having lost everything, Senior Brother Xuan Ji would not have any extra trust in him no matter how well he performed.
Chi Yu even had a premonition that if he showed any sign of retreat, there was a high possibility that Senior Brother Xuan Ji would kill him.
Senior Brother Xuan Ji, I actually understand you too.
Chi Yu raised the corners of his lips and smiled at Xie Xiyi, "Brother Xuan Ji, even if you say so, I will still take the one in ten thousand chance and return to Brother Xuan Ji. He is in seclusion in the Wuliang Secret Realm. I am waiting for him, he is waiting for me, and Xiaoqiu is waiting for me too."
"Brother Xuan Ji, I'm saddened by the things you've encountered, but you're a shadow of the past brought by the turbulence of time. You truly belong to me and my Brother Xuan Ji, so I won't stop. I will forge ahead and return to Brother Xuan Ji's side."
After Chi Yu finished speaking, he raised his legs again and strode towards the exit of Tiangang Secret Realm without any hesitation.
The ball of light swallowed him up, and he crossed the threshold between the secret realm and reality. After feeling dizzy, Chi Yu completely lost consciousness.
Xie Xiyi slowly followed him out of the Tiangang Secret Realm, watching him disappear on the spot, and whispered to himself, "Interesting."
He had previously said that he was beyond form and that he was also his senior brother Xuan Ji, but now he had completely changed his attitude and said that he was an old shadow from the past.
It seems that this guy holds a grudge.
However, he really was a little bit...envious of himself in another world.
*
In the boundless secret realm, Xie Xiyi finally refined twenty-six sections of Buddha bones.
Things like Buddha bones cannot be refined overnight, and they become more difficult as time goes by.
It took him five years to collect the first fourteen sections of Buddha bones, and six years to collect the last eight sections.
Six years in the infinite secret realm is equivalent to seventy-two days in reality.
One hundred and thirty-three days had passed since he entered the secret realm.
Chi Yu was still waiting for his reply, and he had made him wait for so long.
Beneath Xie Xiyi's expressionless face was a nervous heart.
He carefully used the Dust-Clearing Technique to remove the dust that had fallen from his body during meditation, and then went to see the Venerable Shangshan.
Venerable Shangshan was still playing chess with Venerable Hanshan. When they saw Xie Xiyi coming, the two venerables exchanged a glance. Venerable Shangshan said, "Xuanji, you have successfully refined twenty-six sections of Buddha bones, and your cultivation has reached the third level of meditation, the second realm of the Infinite Pure Heaven Realm, and you have reached the Great Perfection. If you were given another twenty years, you would surely be able to achieve the status of a Buddha's son."
Xie Xiyi said in a firm tone: "Please let me out, Your Excellency."
Shangshan asked, "Does it still count if I let you go for two days?"
Xie Xiyi paused and whispered, "Your Excellency, do you understand the dangers of forcing growth? The position of Buddha's disciple has been vacant for hundreds of years, so why worry about the passing of time?"
Shangshan was silent, and said, "It seems you have made your decision."
Xie Xiyi said: "Disciple didn't say anything."
Shangshan said: "If you haven't said anything, it means you have said everything."
Xie Xiyi: "Disciple..."
Before he could finish his words, Shangshan threw him a jade key and said, "Then you can go."
Xie Xiyi's golden eyes lit up slightly. He took the jade key, bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
After watching him leave, Hanshan said, "You know you can't keep Xuan Ji, but you still want to keep him."
Shangshan said, "Although Xuanji and I are not yet master and disciple in name, we are already master and disciple in reality. I love him and, even though I know it is impossible, I still want to guide him towards the path of Buddhism. Only in this way can he truly become a Buddha or a god."
Han Shan said, "He has a demonic heart, a paranoid heart, and a rebellious nature. These three mental states are destined to make it difficult for him to become a Buddhist disciple. The special nature of their family's cultivation also means that he is unable to sever his ties to worldly affairs."
Shangshan said: "Yes, so he is destined not to become a Buddha. I want to save him, but I have no way to do it."
Hanshan said, "Forget it. Let's wait and see. Even if we do more, if Heaven persists in its wrong course, it will all be in vain."
Shangshan said: "I will pass on the order. Xuanji's mistake will be forgiven."
After that, it was time to wait.

Xie Xiyi came out of retreat. The great monk guarding the entrance to the Infinite Secret Realm clasped his hands together and said, "Xuan Ji..." He paused, his tone a little surprised, "...Senior Brother."
Because Xie Xiyi's cultivation was higher than his, the monk changed his tone and called Xie Xiyi "senior brother".
This is how the world is. What matters most is not seniority or qualifications, but cultivation.
When his cultivation level catches up, the person who used to call him senior brother will start to call him senior brother instead.
Xie Xiyi handed him the jade key to the Infinite Secret Realm, "Junior brother, please keep it."
The monk reached out to take it, and instantly felt a stinging sensation coming from the jade key, "Brother Xuanji, you——"
Xie Xiyi smiled lightly and said, "Junior brother should be able to resolve this level of restriction, right? If you drop the jade key, be careful that the Venerable will hold you accountable."
The monk: “…”
Being so petty, could he really be the future disciple of Anuttara Buddhism?
Xie Xiyi did not linger any longer, and he hurried briskly towards the Luopo Zen Gate.
Chi Yu, Chi Yu, his junior fellow apprentice.
After being apart for too long and secluded for too long, Xie Xiyi's inner cultivation level has indeed been greatly improved, but he has been quiet for too long, and the backlash of the love poison is equally strong.
Once infected with the poison of love, longing becomes a poison as well, causing his rationality and restraint to retreat.
He thought that Chi Yu was so attached to him and hadn't seen him for such a long time, so he must have missed him very much as well.
Chi Yu still doesn't understand anything, so there's no need to be obsessed with restraint and patience.
He wanted to tell Chi Yu how he felt.
Maybe he would panic, but he had already communicated with him spiritually, and his spiritual consciousness was everywhere. He already had a Taoist partner, and he was so dependent on him and close to him. As long as he insisted, Chi Yu would always waver.
Yes, there is no need to be obsessed with the fear of hurting him. His junior brother Long always has a firm heart no matter when and where.
Chi Yu loves and clings to him so tenderly, how could she be hurt by his love?
From the beginning to the end, the position of a Buddhist disciple was not important to Xie Xiyi.
At this moment, the most important thing to him is Chi Yu.
Xie Xiyi was puzzled as to why he had been so concerned about such a trivial matter before. If Chi Yu refused, he would pester him until he agreed.
Even strong women are afraid of being pestered by men, let alone his senior brother Xuan Ji pestering him.
He always softens his heart.
Perhaps, seclusion is not entirely a bad thing. It unexpectedly makes his thoughts clear and his mind open.
Xie Xiyi raised a smile at the corner of his lips, his handsome face glowed with charming brilliance, his golden eyes shone brightly, like the sun hanging high in the sky, making people suddenly feel a sense of awe that he was unattainable.
He turned into a stream of light, and the journey of several hours was shortened to one hour. He finally arrived at the Roper Zen Gate.
He raised his strong and slender arms, and gently gathered the long hair on his shoulders with his five fingers as cold as jade. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly stopped.
He took out the hair tie that Chi Yu had given him from his wide sleeves. The hair tie hung in the air, tying up his long hair high. The bell rang softly a few times, making a clear and pleasant sound.
Xie Xiyi raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
After tying his hair, he started walking again.
"Senior Brother Xuan, Xuan Ji?" Someone recognized him.
Xie Xiyi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Junior brother, how are you?"
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you've come out of seclusion?" the Zen disciple asked in astonishment.
"Yeah." Xie Xiyi was in a good mood, but he didn't have the patience to deal with these disciples. He responded casually and strode forward.
"Brother Xuanji, wait a minute." The Zen disciple trotted over to him and said, "There's something you need to know, Brother Xuanji."
Xie Xiyi's smile faded a bit, and a hint of impatience was revealed in his eyes as he looked at the disciple. "What's the matter?"
"Senior Brother Xuanji, Junior Brother Xiaoqiu, he's missing," the Zen disciple said. "Also missing with him is Senior Brother Lianchi, who shared the same Zen residence with Senior Brother Xuanji."
After a pause, the Zen disciple remembered something and continued, "Oh, and Senior Brother Long, who often stayed with Senior Brother Xuan Ji, he's also missing... No, he should be dead."
Xie Xiyi's smile completely disappeared from his face. "What did you say?"
The disciple was frightened by his expression and paused before continuing, "It's exactly what it says. When Senior Brother Long entered the Tiangang Secret Realm, he was sucked in by a crack. I heard from other senior brothers that the crack in the secret realm is very likely to send Senior Brother Long to another realm. Since Junior Brother Long is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he might be crushed by the laws."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He said nothing, ignoring the rules of the Luopo Zen Sect that forbid flying with air, and turned into a stream of light and flew towards Chi Yu's Zen house.
