"Then I'll have to offend you." Shen Luo's eyes flashed and he made a hand seal. A red light flashed in front of him and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo emerged.
"Brother Shen, are you sure you can win?" Lu Huaming hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Don't worry." Shen Luo's face flashed a trace of confidence. He quickly made hand seals and blue seals poured into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.
The Pure Yang Sword Embryo glowed red and a cluster of red lotus-shaped flames emerged from it and quickly merged into one.
After a few breaths, a Red Lotus Hellfire as tall as a person emerged around the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. It burned fiercely but did not emit the slightest heat. It looked very strange.
"What! Red Lotus Hellfire! "Jianglu's face suddenly changed when he saw this scene.
Chan Master Hai Shi also had a look of surprise on his face, as did the other monks around him.
Shen Luo was just about to continue activating the pure Yang sword embryo and unleash all of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire contained within it.
"Stop! I've lost the bet! " Jianglu, who was in the purple and gold light, suddenly raised his hand and said. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Red Lotus Hellfire.
Shen Luo was quite sure that he could win this bet, but he was quite surprised that Jianglu simply admitted defeat.
However, it was naturally a good thing that Jianglu admitted defeat. If it was not necessary, he did not want to hurt the relationship between him and Jinshan Temple. He made a hand seal and all the Red Lotus Hellfire merged into the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.
The pure Yang sword embryo flashed and flew into his sleeve, disappearing without a trace.
"Well done!" Lu Huaming patted Shen Luo's shoulder and laughed excitedly.
"You can all leave." Jianglu also made a hand seal and put away the purple and gold alms bowl and waved his hand to the crowd.
The surrounding monks, who worshipped Jianglu as if he was a god, bowed to him and turned to leave.
Shen Luo flicked his sleeves, and all the magic tools that he had taken away earlier appeared. "Everyone, please wait for a moment. I apologize for offending you earlier. These are your magic tools, please take them back."
All the monks withdrew their magic tools and bowed to Shen Luo. They chanted "Amitabha" and left.
At this moment, Elder Tang Shi also walked back. Shen Luo had shown mercy just now. He had only broken Elder Tang Shi's Demon Subduing Golden Body and did not injure him too severely.
Elder Tang Shi waved his hand to call back his cyan Buddhist Commandment Blade. He took a deep look at Shen Luo and then turned to leave.
Soon, only Shen Luo, Lu Huaming, Jiang Liu, and Zen Master Hai Shi remained.
"Benefactors, Jianglu, let's talk inside." Zen Master Hai Shi stood up and walked into another monk's residence nearby.
"Abbot Hai Shi, since you wanted to tell them before, then you can continue." After Jiangliu entered the room, he sat on the bed and said with a light snort.
"Very well, then this old monk will continue." Zen Master Hai Shi nodded.
"In the past, that demon invaded my Jinshan Temple and wanted to harm the reincarnation of Golden Cicada. Fortunately, Jianglu stepped in and repelled it. However, after this battle, Jianglu's body was also contaminated by Devil Qi." Hai Shi paused for a moment and continued.
"Devil Qi contamination!" Lu Huaming was shocked when he heard this.
Shen Luo looked at Jianglu. Although he was also very surprised, there was still some doubt in his eyes.
"You don't believe me?" Jianglu snorted and unbuttoned the front of his shirt, revealing his chest. In the middle of his fair skin, there was a black spot the size of a washbasin. It was as black as ink, as if a black cloud had taken root in it.
There was a circle of golden patterns on the edge of the black spot. Upon closer inspection, it was actually made up of countless tiny golden runes. It seemed to be a seal that imprisoned the black spot.
However, the black spot was like a living creature, squirming from time to time and attacking the golden seal around it. Every time this happened, a small swastika rune would light up where the golden seal was attacked, blocking the black spot.
Shen Luo's Divine Sense swept over the black spot. There was indeed a trace of Devil Qi emanating from it.
"Can this Devil Qi be expelled?" He narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Nonsense! If it could be easily expelled, would I still be so distressed? "Jianglu said grumpily and put on his clothes.
"This Devil Qi is like a maggot attached to Jianglu's body. It can't be expelled at all. It can only be temporarily suppressed by the Buddhist power of Jinshan Temple. Therefore, Jianglu can't leave Jinshan Temple for a long time. Every time he has to leave, he has to take a great risk," Zen Master Hai Shi said slowly.
When Shen Luo and Lu Huaming heard this, they suddenly understood. No wonder Jianglu was determined not to go to Chang 'an City.
"The matter of Jianglu being infected with Devil Qi is very secretive. Only a few people in Jinshan Temple know the reason. Please don't spread it, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous for Jianglu," Zen Master Hai Shi said to Shen Luo and Lu Huaming.
"Of course, don't worry, Zen Master Hai Shi. We will definitely not spread it." Shen Luo nodded solemnly.
"Is there any way to suppress this Demon Qi without the help of the Jinshan Temple?" Lu Huaming was unwilling to give up and asked.
"We have tried all the methods we can think of over the years. Unfortunately, this Devil Qi is strange and has little effect." Zen Master Hai Shi sighed.
Shen Luo frowned. Although it was important to release the souls of the people who died in Chang 'an City, they couldn't let Jianglu go regardless of his life.
"I don't know if Imperial Preceptor Yuan and Duke Cheng have a way to suppress this Devil Qi. But looking at Zen Master Hai Shi and Jianglu, they don't seem to trust outsiders." He hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
"This matter is not completely without a turning point. Recently, I have been studying the classics left behind by the Golden Cicada Master in the temple. It records a magical instrument that can effectively suppress Devil Qi," Jianglu suddenly said.
"Oh, what kind of magical instrument is it?" Zen Master Hai Shi's expression changed and asked.
"This magical instrument is called the Origin Umbrella. It is a treasure passed down from the Spirit Mountain of Western Heaven. It has the effect of suppressing evil spirits and stabilizing the mind. However, the refining conditions of this magical instrument are very harsh and the materials required are also very precious. In fact, I have been trying to refine it for a long time, but I am still lacking a main material. It is very difficult to find," Jianglu said.
"What kind of material do you need? We are willing to help," Lu Huaming said immediately when he heard that there was a turning point.
Shen Luo also looked over.
"A spiritual material called Golden Phoenix Feather," Jianglu said.
"Golden Phoenix Feather?" Lu Huaming raised his eyebrows. He had never heard of this material.
Shen Luo had read many books on spiritual materials and visited many places in his dream. He had learned of many materials and treasures that the cultivation world of the Great Tang had never heard of, but he had never heard of this name.
"Golden Phoenix Feather is just a general term. As long as it is the feather of a spiritual bird containing the bloodline of the Phoenix, it will do," Jianglu said.
"The bloodline of the Phoenix!" Lu Huaming gasped.
Shen Luo also frowned. The Phoenix was an immortal bird, much rarer than the Dragon race. It had not appeared in the cultivation world for several hundred years, and spiritual birds containing the bloodline of the Phoenix were also very rare. Even if they did exist, they would be very difficult to find. Moreover, the Water and Land Conference was less than five days away. How could they make it in time?
