"Isn't this the legendary Kylin blood? It's even more precious than the blood of a real dragon. After taking it, not only can it improve one's physique, but it can also increase one's lifespan, "Lu Huaming exclaimed.
Shen Luo looked at the Kylin blood in the bottle. He quickly closed the bottle and put it away.
He looked in the direction of the imperial palace, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
These three treasures were very suitable for him, especially the Ocean-Suppressing Pearl and the Kylin blood. They were tailor-made for him.
What shocked Shen Luo the most was the Kylin blood. He had never mentioned to anyone that he was looking for something to prolong his life except for Ma Xiuxiu and Dan Yangzi. Dan Yangzi was dead now, and Ma Xiuxiu had disappeared without a trace. Under such circumstances, the imperial court could still find out about this matter. Such intelligence gathering ability really shocked him.
"All the land under the sky belongs to the king. If the imperial court wants to investigate something, they can definitely find it. The Tang Empire's government is only the cultivation force of the imperial court on the surface. There are other cultivation forces in the dark, which are used to monitor the world and collect information. Brother Shen, you don't have to be surprised, "Lu Huaming said, as if he had guessed what Shen Luo was thinking.
Shen Luo was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly recovered and nodded.
Then, the two of them didn't delay any longer and immediately went out of the city.
The damaged buildings in the city had been repaired, and the mournful scene of every family burning paper money was gone. However, the air was still shrouded in a trace of haze.
"There are indeed a lot of vengeful souls left in the city," Shen Luo thought to himself.
However, these vengeful souls were not evil spirits. Killing them casually was against the harmony of heaven. However, if they were allowed to stay in the mortal world, not only would they affect the living, but they would also evolve into evil spirits, which would be more troublesome. Therefore, those who died unjustly would usually ask monks to find a way to send them to hell.
This kind of expiation did not rely on magic power. For example, although Shen Luo's cultivation had reached the Out-of-Body Stage, he couldn't expiate the vengeful souls.
Redeeming these dead souls required sufficient virtue. This was another kind of cultivation that was different from the realm of mana. Those who did not have a deep understanding of Buddhism could not do it.
Shen Luo didn't know much about this, but he knew a little about it. In order to purge so many dead souls in the city, one must have a very high cultivation base.
"Brother Lu, who is this Grandmaster Jiang Liu that Imperial Tutor Yuan mentioned just now? Can you really purify so many vengeful spirits in the city? "He asked Lu Huaming.
"Speaking of this Great Master Jiangliu, he is indeed very famous. Brother Shen, do you know the person who obtained the scripture?" Lu Huaming asked.
"You mean Master Xuanzang? Back then, he traveled tens of thousands of li to the Great Thunderclap Temple to obtain scriptures. This is a grand occasion for our Great Tang, so this one has naturally heard of it. "Shen Luo nodded.
"Not long after Master Xuanzang returned from obtaining the scriptures, he suddenly disappeared and no one knows where he went. Some people said that he went to the Western Paradise, some said that he passed away, and some even said that he had reincarnated. In short, there are many different opinions, and no one knows what happened." Lu Huaming continued.
"I have heard similar rumors, but in my opinion, the possibility of Master Xuanzang's reincarnation is higher." Shen Luo heard this and said with a change in expression.
"Well, many people think so. Many people claim to be his reincarnation, but the most convincing one is Grandmaster Jiangliu. He and Master Xuanzang both came from the Jinshan Temple in the Great Tang. Moreover, he has a deep understanding of Buddhism and has expiated countless people. Even in Chang 'an, he is very famous. Many officials and relatives of the Imperial Court have spared no effort to go to the Jinshan Temple to worship him." Lu Huaming nodded and said.
"Brother Lu, if that's the case, I really want to see this Grandmaster Jiangliu." Shen Luo heard this and became curious about this Grandmaster Jiangliu.
According to Li Jing in the dream, obtaining the scriptures from the West was the means used by the Celestial Court and the powerful people of the West to prevent the Demonic Tribulation. Unfortunately, they failed. If they could see the reincarnation of the person who obtained the scriptures, they might be able to find clues about the five Demonic Souls.
The two talked as they hurried on their way. Soon, they left the city and found a secluded place to fly toward the Jinshan Temple.
The Jinshan Temple was located in Jiangzhou, which was quite far from Chang 'an City. The two only knew the general direction, and it took them half a day to find the temple.
In order to avoid shocking mortals, the two landed in the distance and walked there.
The Jinshan Temple was located on Mount Jinxia in Jiangzhou. It was built against the mountain and winding mountain roads. Countless devout believers of all ages walked toward the temple to worship the gods in their hearts.
"Oh, there are so many believers. It seems that this Grandmaster Jiangliu is really unusual." Shen Luo saw this scene and was surprised.
"Of course. Otherwise, Master and the State Preceptor would not have asked us to invite him." Lu Huaming laughed.
"Is this Jinshan Temple just an ordinary Buddhist temple? Do the monks in the temple have cultivation? "Shen Luo suddenly thought of something and asked.
"The Jinshan Temple is a famous immortal cultivation sect in Jiangzhou. There are many monks in the temple, and they study the Vajra Zen Method passed down by Elder Fa Ming. Later, after Master Xuanzang returned, he passed down the Zen Method of the Great Leiyin Temple of the Spirit Mountain of Western Heaven. In terms of the exquisiteness of the method, the Jinshan Temple is not inferior to our Tang Empire's government, Hua Sheng Temple, Mount Putuo, and other big sects. Brother Shen, why do you ask?" Lu Huaming said.
"Since the Jinshan Temple is also a big immortal cultivation sect, and Grandmaster Jiangliu is so famous, he may not be willing to go to Chang 'an with us. Did Duke Cheng and State Preceptor Yuan give you a token or something?" Shen Luo asked with some concern.
"We took on this task together. You were there the whole time. How could Master give me a token?" Lu Huaming said strangely.
"It seems that we can only adapt to the situation. I hope everything will go smoothly." Shen Luo said after a moment of silence.
"Grandmaster Jiangliu is a virtuous monk. Chang 'an City has suffered a catastrophe and the people are suffering. Grandmaster will certainly be happy to go. What's more, this Water and Land Conference was held by His Majesty. To be able to preside over this conference is a supreme honor for anyone in the Zen Sect. Grandmaster Jiangliu will not refuse. Brother Shen, don't worry too much. Let's go. "Lu Huaming said with a smile, and then pulled Shen Luo toward the Jinshan Temple.
The scenery of Mount Jinxia was beautiful. It was autumn, and the whole mountain was golden. The scenery was quite beautiful.
The two of them climbed the mountain while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Mount Jinxia was towering. Except for the mountains in his dreams, Shen Luo had never seen anything taller than this in reality. The Jinshan Temple was built halfway up Mount Jinxia. The two of them walked for a long time but still didn't reach it.
Fortunately, they were both people with high cultivation and didn't feel tired.
At this moment, a carriage came from behind. It was carrying goods and was heading toward the Jinshan Temple.
The believers on the mountain path moved aside. Shen Luo and Lu Huaming also moved aside.
The driver was a middle-aged man. He seemed to be in a hurry and kept urging the horse to speed up. Although the mountain path was not wide, the carriage moved very fast.
When the carriage passed by Shen Luo and Lu Huaming, the wheels rolled on a protruding rock and the carriage shook violently.
It was unknown whether the shaking was too violent or the carriage was old. With a crack, the axle broke in the middle. The carriage fell to the side and smashed toward an old man in plain clothes.
The old man in plain clothes was so scared that he forgot to dodge. When the nearby pilgrims saw this, they all exclaimed.
Shen Luo didn't have time to be shocked. He appeared in front of the carriage and pushed it.
The carriage stopped immediately, but the thing inside rolled out. It seemed to be a curtain that fell on the side of the road.
The nearby people exclaimed again and moved away.
