"Creak!"
"Plop! Plop! "
The cell opened and Du Nan and the spiritual cat were thrown in.
The former's head was bald, obviously rubbed off by the stone slab. The latter's face was swollen, obviously from Xiao Moxian's slaps.
Zhao Doudou, who had just fallen asleep, heard the commotion and hurriedly stood up. He subconsciously shrank into a corner and whispered, "It can't be another spirit beast, right?"
"Hu!"
Du Nan struggled to get up and sat down. He said with difficulty, "If I don't go to hell, who will!"
"You … if you want to go to hell, can … can you not drag me along?" The spiritual cat lay on the ground, wanting to cry but having no tears. It looked as if it had nothing left to live for.
When it came up, it thought that its journey of escape would begin again. However, it didn't expect to be captured and ruthlessly beaten up by the little loli.
Although that feeling, um, was a little special, the pain it brought was still too much for its small body to bear.
Du Nan had to be praised here.
After Jun Changxiao bought the sect protecting array, he was the first to sneak into the Sect of All Times!
If it were anyone else, even if they knew that the sect protecting array wasn't activated, they still wouldn't dare to come up. This was because those who lived inside were all monstrous geniuses. Entering through illegal means was the same as entering hell!
The next day.
The cell door opened and Jun Changxiao walked in. He glanced at Du Nan who seemed to be meditating and said, "Are you from the Great Tang of the East?"
Yesterday, he also discovered this guy. His cultivation was at most at the level of Wuzong, so he didn't take him to heart.
"Amitabha."
Du Nan put his palms together and said, "Benefactor, this poor monk has no evil intentions."
"No evil intentions?"
Jun Changxiao said, "Then why did you come to my Sect of All Times?"
"This poor monk is here for …" Du Nan was startled and blurted out, "Sect of All Times?"
During this time, although he had been converting people and didn't have time to watch the Dragon Tiger Battle for Hegemony, he still had some understanding of the sects that were competing.
The main reason was that he was in a state of escape. He was too excited to find the evil cultivator. If he calmed down or asked around in town, he would definitely know what sect was on the mountain.
"It's over, it's over …"
The Psychic Cat, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, thought to itself, "This time, I'm completely screwed. It's hard to say if I'll be able to leave this place alive!"
"You don't know?" Jun Changxiao asked.
Du Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Benefactor, this Penniless Monk only discovered that there were evil cultivators on the mountain, so I came to convert them. I didn't know it was the Sect of All Times."
Heh.
So he was a monk who subdued demons and devils.
Jun Changxiao said, "It's true that there are heretical cultivators in my sect, but they've always been cultivating on the mountain. They've never left the mountain to harm others. Why should I enlighten them?"
Du Nan seriously said, "The cultivation method of heretical cultivators is the same as that of devil cultivators. The longer they cultivate, the harder it is for them to stabilize their state of mind. As a result, they can't control their emotions and do evil things. Although this poor monk's cultivation is shallow, it's still my duty to enlighten them."
"As the saying goes …"
"Stop!"
Jun Changxiao hurriedly stopped him and said, "You sneaked into the Sect of All Times without permission. According to the law, you should be executed."
"Ah!"
The psychic cat, who was pretending to be dead, jumped up and said with tears in its eyes, "I haven't lived long enough!"
"However."
Jun Changxiao said, "In consideration of the virtue of caring for all living things, this Penniless Monk has decided to spare your lives."
"Thank you, thank you!" The psychic cat hurriedly said.
"The death penalty is unavoidable, but it's hard to escape punishment."
Jun Changxiao said, "Stay in the sect and clean the courtyard first. It just so happens that I'm lacking a real sweeping monk here."
Du Nan said with a dignified expression, "If benefactor allows this Penniless Monk to enlighten that devil cultivator, not to mention sweeping the floor, I can even clean the latrines."
This guy had really entered Buddhism.
He was completely unaware of his own situation and still wanted to enlighten the heretical cultivator.
Jun Changxiao said, "Cultivation requires cultivation of the heart. To enlighten others, one must enlighten oneself. You keep talking about enlightening others, but have you enlightened yourself?"
"This …"
"From your hesitant eyes, I can see that your understanding of Buddhism is only on the surface level. Wait until you understand yourself before you enlighten others."
Jun Changxiao got up and left, but when he reached the door of the prison, he said, "If one's heart is calculative, one will encounter obstacles everywhere. If one doesn't investigate people, one won't be angry. Always investigating right and wrong is not something a Buddhist disciple should do."
The system said, "You really know how to talk nonsense!"
Du Nan sat cross-legged in the prison cell. The expression on his face gradually froze because every word Jun Changxiao said impacted his Knowledge Sea, especially that sentence — Cultivation requires cultivation of the heart. To enlighten others, one must enlighten oneself.
Thinking back to the past, he had always been rushing forward on the path of enlightening others. When had he ever considered himself?
"Amitabha."
Du Nan clasped his palms and silently chanted, his face showing shame.
… …
The next day.
In the inner courtyard, there was an extra monk wearing a kasaya with no hair on the left side of his head. He was holding a broom and sweeping the courtyard. As for the outer courtyard, it was handed over to the Grand Elder of the Extreme Cold Palace.
There were closed-door disciples, and there were also cleaners in the inner and outer courtyards. The Sect of All Times' facilities were getting more and more complete.
"Why did the Patriarch keep this guy?"
"He sneaked up. How can we not let him do some hard work?"
The disciples passing by whispered.
Du Nan didn't care. While sweeping, he thought about what Jun Changxiao said yesterday. He felt more and more guilty about his own understanding of Buddhism.
Sigh.
I've been led astray.
"Damn bald donkey, don't block the way."
At this moment, Yao Mengying walked out of the side room with her hands on her hips and said with a scowl.
Du Nan looked up and said in surprise, "It's you!"
"I told you not to block the way. Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?" Yao Mengying said angrily.
"Amitabha."
Du Nan stepped aside with the principle of a good man not fighting with a woman.
Yao Mengying walked over angrily, then found Jun Changxiao and said, "Patriarch, that guy is very annoying. Can you drive him away?"
"No hurry, no hurry."
Jun Changxiao said, "Let him sweep for a few more days."
In fact, he had been thinking about whether he should convert this Buddhist cultivator into a disciple of the Sect of All Times. After all, to establish the strongest sect on the continent, one had to at least be all-inclusive.
What's more, Yao Mengying was a demonic cultivator. If she could establish a friendship with a Buddhist cultivator, it meant that in this world, the righteous and demonic cultivators could coexist peacefully. They might not have to fight to the death when they met.
"Patriarch!"
At this moment, Li Luoqiu hurried over and said, "Disciple Ren Shan went out to do a mission and found a place where the spiritual aura recovered in a valley. It's very likely that there are spirit stone veins!"
"What?"
Jun Changxiao immediately stood up and said with great joy, "This kid is really a koi!"
…
A thousand miles east of Mount Iron Bone, there was an old forest deep in the mountains.
Sect of All Times disciple Ren Shan received a mission to collect some kind of medicinal herb and came here.
Because the environment was too complicated, he got lost after entering and came to a valley in a daze. When he saw the flickering light, he was sure that it was a sign of the recovery of spiritual aura, so he hurriedly used the sound transmission technique to contact the sect!
This guy had once found a spirit stone vein in the Black Devil Forest's cave, and now that he had found it again when he went out, his luck was simply exploding.
However …
Ren Shan was not happy at all.
Because at the entrance of the valley, more than ten warriors suddenly appeared, claiming that they were the first to discover the place where the spiritual aura had recovered, and told him to leave quickly.
"Bullshit!"
Ren Shan argued, "I was the one who discovered it. If you want to leave, it's you guys who should leave!"
He was so sure that the valley had a natural restriction that spiritual sense could not discover. Before he entered, the entrance was covered with cobwebs, which meant that no one had entered!
It was indeed Ren Shan who discovered it first.
However, the recovery of spiritual aura would cause a natural phenomenon.
This group of people happened to be training in the forest and rushed over when they saw the rising light. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to discover it.
"Cut the crap."
The man in the lead said with a cold gaze, "Hurry up and scram, or else you won't be able to keep your life."
"Ta!"
Ren Shan stood at the entrance and said, "This was discovered by my Sect of All Times first. You guys should be the ones to scram."
"Sect of All Times?"
The leader's expression changed slightly as he came to a realization. "I was wondering why you were so fearless. So it's the disciple of the sect who won the Dragon Tiger Battle."
"Senior Brother."
Someone beside him lowered his voice and said, "This sect is not to be trifled with."
The one called Senior Brother said, "There is a recovery of spiritual aura in the valley, so there must be a spirit stone vein hidden. When the time comes, it will definitely attract many large sects. We have to take the initiative to gain more initiative for the sect, and no matter how awesome their Sect of All Times is, how could they monopolize the entire vein!"
"How about this."
He said, "We discovered this place together."
Ren Shan could tell that these people were afraid of his sect and did not dare to go too far. He said, "Do you guys have any shame?"
"Huff huff — — —"
At this moment, a stream of light flew over from afar and hovered in mid-air. A middle-aged man appeared and said in surprise, "I didn't expect this place to have a sign of recovery of spiritual aura!"
"Hmm?"
He looked down and saw that someone had already discovered it. He frowned and said, "Kids down there, leave this place quickly."
The faces of the few martial artists changed.
Hovering in mid-air was enough to show that this person was definitely a powerhouse at the level of Wu Huang. Hence, they left in a panic.
"Why are you still here?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ren Shan with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Ren Shan also knew that this guy was very strong, but he still stood guard at the entrance and said, "I discovered this place of recovery of spiritual aura. Why should I leave?"
"You discovered it first?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Little guy, in this world, some things don't belong to whoever discovers them first, but to whoever has the ability to obtain them."
"So."
He raised his finger and pointed into the distance, saying coldly, "I'll count to three. Leave quickly."
"One."
"Two."
"…"
Ren Shan still stood in front of the valley.
Although his heart was already at its limit, the sect's number one mission kept ringing in his ears, forcing him to work hard to maintain his iron and unyielding backbone!
I can't leave!
The Patriarch and his fellow disciples haven't arrived yet!
"Three."
The middle-aged man shouted faintly and landed instantly. He raised his hand lightly and gathered powerful spiritual energy to shroud Ren Shan. He shook his head and said, "Stubborn guy."
Ren Shan was restrained and gradually hovered in mid-air. He said with a ferocious expression, "If you dare to touch a strand of my hair, my Patriarch will never forgive you!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "What you mean is that your Patriarch is very powerful? Let me hear it. "
"Listen carefully …"
Ren Shan said with difficulty, "My Patriarch is Jun Changxiao!"
"Jun Changxiao?"
The middle-aged man was rather surprised and said, "The Patriarch of the Sect of All Times?"
"That's right!"
Although Ren Shan was restrained and had difficulty speaking, it was not hard to hear that he was very proud!
"This newly risen Sect won the Dragon Tiger Battle Championship, which is not bad, but …" The middle-aged man said coldly, "It's not enough to use him to scare me."
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, Ren Shan was instantly thrown out.
The few martial artists who were escaping looked up and the corners of their mouths twitched. "Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?"
"Whoosh — — —"
A stream of light flew from a distance and stopped at the position where Ren Shan was flying to catch him. When the light dissipated, Jun Changxiao's handsome figure appeared. He said with a sullen face, "Who threw him?"
