"That's right. If you tell us the reason of the matter, although it will damage your reputation, you can save thousands of creatures. On the other hand, if you only care about your reputation and keep silent, it can only show that you are a hypocrite and a fake monk who covets false reputation. You don't have a real compassionate heart. It's worse than breaking the wine and meat abstinence, "Shen Luo continued to say seriously.
Lu Huaming saw Shen Luo's coaxing and scaring, and laughed in his heart, but his face was tense, and he didn't show it.
"Is that so …" Chan 'er's small face showed a frightened look.
"In that case, I will break my promise and tell you that Jiangliu, he …" Chan 'er scratched her head for a long time, and then raised her head …
"Chan 'er, you dare to tell my secret to others. You are very bold!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Chan' er's body. It was Master Jiangliu's voice.
Shen Luo and Lu Huaming heard this voice, and their complexions changed.
Before the voice had died away, a mass of yellow light suddenly lit up on Chan 'er's chest. The next moment, it suddenly expanded, and formed a yellow light array, which was about ten feet in size, and shrouded Chan' er's body.
Shen Luo's eyes narrowed, and he was about to do something, but it was too late. The yellow light array flashed around Chan 'er's body.
Chan 'er's figure in the light array also disappeared in a flash, leaving only a little yellow residual light, which soon drifted away.
"Is this the Earth Escape Magic Array? I didn't expect that Master Jiangliu could also use magic arts, "Shen Luo murmured with a surprised look on his face.
"Damn it, we were found out about Master Jiangliu's secret, and he probably hates us even more. It will be more difficult to invite him to Chang 'an," Lu Huaming frowned and said with a little fear.
"It's useless to think too much. Let's take one step at a time. Let's find a place to rest first, and come back in the evening," Shen Luo comforted him with a voice transmission, and stepped down the mountain.
Lu Huaming sighed and followed him.
They found a quiet place on the mountainside, closed their eyes, and rested. Night soon fell.
The two of them did not leave immediately. They waited until it was almost midnight before they both opened their eyes and headed towards Jinshan Temple. Soon, they arrived at the back door of Jinshan Temple.
Looking from here, the inside of Jinshan Temple was dark and empty. Obviously, all the monks in the temple had gone to bed.
Even so, the two of them didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. They each cast a spell to conceal their presence and quietly climbed over the wall to enter the temple.
"Have you already found out where Chan Master Hai Shi lives?" Lu Huaming asked via sound transmission.
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. I've already made the Gu worms remember his scent. We just have to follow him." Shen Luo took out the Shadow Gu.
Once the Shadow Gu came out, it sniffed the air and immediately flew forward.
The two of them immediately followed closely behind.
Shen Luo and Lu Huaming had both reached the Out-of-Body Stage, so they could be regarded as masters in the Cultivation World. Although there were inhibition formations in the temple, they easily avoided them and didn't attract the attention of others in the temple. Soon, they came to the deeper part of the Jinshan Temple.
"Stop!" Lu Huaming raised his hand and stopped Shen Luo.
"What's wrong?" Shen Luo stopped the Shadow Gu and asked via sound transmission.
"Someone has set up a large-scale inhibition formation in front of us, and it is very exquisite. We can't go any further." Lu Huaming's eyes were faintly white, as if he was using an eye technique. He said in a deep voice.
Shen Luo heard this and poured his magic power into his eyes. He looked forward, but he didn't see anything.
"You can't see it like this. This inhibition formation is very hidden. The person who set it up has a very high cultivation. He can observe it through this thing." Lu Huaming took out a white crystal ball and handed it to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and took it. He poured his magic power into the pearl and then put it in front of him. He looked through the pearl and his face quickly changed.
Through the pearl, there were many small formation patterns in the void in front of them. There were also many white lights flashing in them, like countless stars in the night sky.
"According to the tracking of the Shadow Gu, Zen Master Hai Shi is still in front. Did I guess wrong?" Shen Luo murmured.
At this moment, a small pitch-black courtyard next to the two suddenly lit up. It was very conspicuous in the dark night.
Shen Luo and Lu Huaming's expressions changed and they immediately hid in a hidden place.
However, the Shadow Gu suddenly let out a clear cry and shot towards the courtyard.
Shen Luo saw this scene and his heart moved. After hesitating for a moment, he quietly spread his Divine Sense towards the lit courtyard. His expression soon relaxed and he walked out of his hiding place.
"Brother Lu, you don't have to hide. It's here." He greeted Lu Huaming and entered the courtyard. He entered the room with the light.
This was a simple house. The walls had long been mottled and peeled off. There were no furnishings in the house. There was only a bed board covered with dry straw in the corner. Zen Master Hai Shi was sitting on it.
Although Shen Luo could see that this place was simple and crude from the outside, he didn't expect it to be such a scene.
Lu Huaming saw Shen Luo's actions. After sweeping with his Divine Sense, he also felt relieved and followed in.
"Benefactors, what brings you here so late at night?" Zen Master Hai Shi looked at the two of them and asked.
"Zen Master Hai Shi, you invited us during the day. How could we not come?" Shen Luo bowed.
"Oh, when did this old monk invite benefactors?" Zen Master Hai Shi's expression didn't change.
"During the day, I asked Zen Master when fate would arrive. Zen Master, you coughed three times and put your hand behind your body. Could it be that you didn't want us to come here from the back door in the middle of the night?" Shen Luo said.
"Benefactor is indeed a person of wisdom," Zen Master Hai Shi looked at Shen Luo for a moment, a smile appearing on his old bark-like face.
"I wouldn't dare to say that I am of wisdom. The two of us came here rashly tonight to ask for guidance from the abbot. Grandmaster Jiang Liu seems to be abnormally against going to Chang 'an to preside over the Water and Land Conference. I don't know what the reason is," Shen Luo said gravely after bowing deeply.
Zen Master Hai Shi's wrinkled face twitched. For a moment, he didn't speak, as if he was considering something.
"This matter concerns the lives of tens of thousands of people in Chang 'an. I ask the abbot to give us guidance," Lu Huaming said anxiously when he saw Zen Master Hai Shi's silence.
"Amitabha, this matter is not urgent. The night is long. If the two benefactors have nothing important to do, would you like to listen to this old monk talk about the past of Jinshan Temple?" Zen Master Hai Shi said slowly with a sigh.
"Since the abbot has the time, I am all ears," Shen Luo looked at Zen Master Hai Shi's calm eyes and sat down on the stool next to him.
Lu Huaming was anxious and didn't have the leisure to listen to the past. But when he saw Shen Luo sit down, he had no choice but to sit down as well.
Zen Master Hai Shi said in a nostalgic tone, "My Jinshan Temple was built in the previous dynasty. It was originally quite prosperous. Later, the affairs of the world changed. The dynasty's Taizu opened up new territory. The entire Divine Great Land was enveloped in the flames of war. My temple was also affected and was almost destroyed. Although it was barely rebuilt, it was already in decline. It was no longer as glorious as it used to be. Even because the founder left behind a few books on martial arts, enemies came to steal them. Most of the monks in the temple fled. Only a few old monks who had nowhere else to go stayed here, struggling at death's door. It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that there was a glimmer of hope. "
