As Master Tam Yuan spoke up, Chu Xiu and Zong Xuan could no longer continue fighting.
After all, Master Tam Yuan was about to die. If the Great Light Temple were to force him to take back the technique that he had passed to Chu Xiu, it would be too much.
Hence, Ming Qi could only pinch his nose and say, "Zong Xuan, stop fighting. Stop."
However, this time, Zong Xuan did not listen to Ming Qi's order to stop immediately. Instead, his eyes shone brightly, and he only stopped after a while.
Fang Qi Shao, who was at the back, stroked his chin. After Chu Xiu entered the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, his combat power was not weak at all. He could actually force Zong Xuan into a serious state.
However, it was obvious that Chu Xiu had lost this round.
After Zong Xuan retracted his hand, the radiance of the sun around Chu Xiu also dissipated. However, his face had already turned pale.
The power of the Sun-Changing Technique was not something that Chu Xiu could use as he wished. If he did not control the power of the Sun-Changing Technique well, he would only end up hurting himself and others.
Meanwhile, on Zong Xuan's side, he had only just started to get serious. If Master Tam Yuan did not show up, the person who would lose in the end would still be Chu Xiu.
Ming Qi's expression was a little ugly as he cupped his hands at Master Tam Yuan and said, "Master Tam Yuan, you're the publicly recognized holy monk of the Buddhist Sect. We naturally can't control who you want to pass the technique to. However, this Chu Xiu has a ferocious reputation. If he were to use the cultivation technique you taught him to do something evil in the future, then the karma will be placed on you, and it will ruin your reputation in the future. I'm doing this for your own good. "
Master Tan Yuan smiled and said, "This old monk appreciates the kindness of the Temple of Great Light, but let's talk about the future in the future. Karma is such a complicated thing, so how can you and I see through it now? As for my reputation, the so-called title of Holy Monk is also something that was forcefully added because of everyone's love for me. It doesn't matter if it's ruined. At that time, I'm afraid this old monk will already be a pile of bones. Would I still need to care about my reputation? "
Hearing Master Tam Yuan's words, Ming Qi could only put on a gloomy expression as he reluctantly cupped his hands to bid farewell and turned to leave.
Seeing Ming Qi's attitude, Chu Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The Temple of Great Light was really used to being domineering. They actually sent such a person over. They were simply asking for trouble.
Although Master Tan Yuan was alone, he still had the reputation of a Holy Monk. Not only was he recognized by Buddhism, but he was also a Holy Monk recognized by the entire martial arts world.
The Temple of Great Light could be domineering to others, but to be so domineering to a person like Master Tam Yuan, who was about to die, was basically ruining their own reputation.
This Ming Qi came from the Temple of Great Light's Karma Hall. Forget about the martial arts world, even in the Temple of Great Light, the Karma Hall's status was very high.
It could even be said that in the Temple of Great Light, although the Karma Hall's combat power was not the strongest, their status was extraordinary.
If the Temple of Great Light had only sent Ming Qi, it would have been fine. But in the end, they sent Zong Xuan, who was stubborn and did not know how to be flexible. In the end, it was not surprising that things had escalated to such a state.
After Zong Xuan and Ming Qi left, Master Tam Yuan walked towards Long Tianying and the others. He sighed and said, "President Long, I've implicated you."
Long Tianying hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't say that, Master. It's just a small matter. Not to mention that we only suffered some minor injuries, even if we had to risk our lives to stop the people from the Temple of Great Light, it would be worth it."
Master Tam Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm already at the end of my rope, but President Long, you're still young. Don't talk about dying. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I'm ready to return to my hometown. President Long, please go back. "
Long Tianying hurriedly shook his head and said, "I won't forget the kindness you've shown me in the past. The development of the Cetacean Society is already on the right track. It's fine for me to be away for a while. I hope Master can let me send you on your last journey."
Hearing Long Tianying say that, Master Tam Yuan did not stop him. He only turned around to look at Chu Xiu and said, "Chu, I haven't been to the Central Plains for a long time. Can I trouble you to send me back to my hometown?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "It's my duty."
Although he had obtained the cultivation method by deceiving Master Tam Yuan, Chu Xiu naturally would not refuse such a request.
Just as Master Tam Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly saw Fang Qi Shao, who was also about to leave with a flagon of wine.
Master Tam Yuan suddenly asked, "Young friend, please wait a moment. May I ask if you're from Swordking City?"
Fang Qi Shao said somewhat gloomily, "Yes, what orders do you have for me, Master?"
Just now, he had represented Swordking City in the crowd to present a gift to Master Tam Yuan. However, it seemed like Master Tam Yuan did not remember anything. Perhaps he had never paid attention to him from the beginning.
To think that he, the dignified Sword Leader Seventh Young Master Fang, would one day be ignored by others. This was not a good feeling.
Master Tam Yuan seemed to have seen through Fang Qi Shao's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Please don't blame me, Young Friend. When I came ashore, this old monk was focused on inheriting my martial arts. Because I don't have much time left, I was a bit anxious and didn't care about other things."
Hearing Master Tam Yuan's words, Fang Qi Shao felt a little embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you, Master."
Smiling, Master Tan Yuan took out a jade slip from his bosom and handed it to the seventh young master, "This is a secret manual of the way of the sword that I obtained by accident. It is a manual left behind by a large sect of the way of the sword in the Eastern Sea thousands of years ago. There are only a few scattered sword techniques, but there is no complete sword technique. However, there are even more comprehensions left behind by the experts of the large sect. I believe that this thing will be very useful to you."
Seventh Young Master Fang took the jade slip with a surprised look on his face.
This thing was more than useful to him. It was simply a treasure.
For Fang Qi Shao, who came from Swordking City, he did not lack sword arts. His Karma Sword Dao did not need those messy sword arts.
However, he could use other people's knowledge to improve himself. Things like sword practice experiences left behind by these ancient powerhouses were the most precious. After reading these things, it would definitely bring another level of understanding to his entire Sword Dao.
Fang Qi Shao asked hesitantly, "Master, why are you giving me this thing?"
Master Tam Yuan smiled freely and said, "I've obtained a lot of good things in the Eastern Sea over the years. I've already given what I can to others. Now that I'm about to pass away, these things can't be brought with me when I'm alive and I can't take them with me when I die. It's useless for me to keep them. Little Friend, you came from Swordking City. This thing will definitely be much more valuable to you than to be buried with an old man like me. "
Compared to other martial artists, who viewed their martial arts inheritance as incomparably important, to the point that even if they died, they would take it with them to the underworld. Master Tan Yuan's view of martial arts was much more open-minded, and he even viewed it as an external object.
Fang Qi Shao asked in surprise, "Master, aren't you afraid that I'll do something evil after obtaining this thing and destroy it?"
After saying that, Fang Qi Shao glanced at Chu Xiu. He didn't think that Chu Xiu was a good person. Ming Qi's words actually made sense.
Master Tam Yuan shook his head and said, "I've said it before. Good and evil can't be judged on the surface. If a person wants to do evil, even if he doesn't have the slightest bit of strength, he can slaughter millions of people with just his mouth. Similarly, some people seem to kill a lot of people, but they can save even more people. Therefore, this old monk might as well bet that little friend won't let this old monk down. This sword arts record will definitely be more cost-effective to give to the descendants of the five great sword sects than to be buried with this old monk. "
There were so many experts in Jianghu, but there weren't many who could be as open-minded as Master Tan Yuan.
This was also because Master Tan Yuan really didn't have the time. Otherwise, he would definitely find a suitable person to hand over all the things he had on him.
At this moment, Fang Qi Shao also became serious for once. He put the sword back on his back and bowed to Master Tam Yuan. "Thank you, Master."
After a pause, Fang Qi Shao added, "I dare not forget your kindness in teaching me. I'll go with you to send you on your last journey, Master."
Master Tam Yuan did not stop him. He just nodded and said, "That's good too. The more the merrier. I didn't expect so many people to send me off before I die."
Master Tam Yuan's hometown was Songping Prefecture in Eastern Qi's Changyang County. It was located in the hinterland of Eastern Qi and was more than ten days away from Donghai County.
And now, Master Tam Yuan's body was about to decay. He might not even be able to hold on for more than twenty hours, let alone ten days.
But perhaps Master Tam Yuan's obsession to see his hometown again, Master Tam Yuan managed to hold on for more than ten days. Finally, he arrived at a dilapidated temple outside Songping Prefecture, Xuanji Temple.
Xuanji Temple was just a small temple. Even when Master Tam Yuan was still alive, there were only a dozen monks in Xuanji Temple. But now, all the monks had left, and there was not a single person left. It was either destroyed, or the temple had no successor and had completely withered. But looking at the well-preserved appearance of the temple, it should be the latter.
Touching the dusty Buddha statue in Xuanji Temple, Master Tam Yuan let out a long sigh.
He traveled to the east in his middle age and returned at the end of his life. He had experienced countless storms. For Master Tam Yuan, he had experienced hardships and confusion in his life, but he had never regretted it.
When he first came to the East Sea, he might have only wanted to spread Buddhism and promote the name of Buddhism. But in the end, those superficial meanings disappeared. Everything Master Tam Yuan did had nothing to do with Buddhism. It was just his belief.
Sitting on the dirty futon in front of the Buddha statue, Master Tam Yuan closed his eyes. In an instant, the seven-colored Light of Buddha shrouded Master Tam Yuan. A majestic power bloomed and drifted between heaven and earth, as if Master Tam Yuan had really become a Buddha.
But at this time, Long Tianying's eyes were red. Fang Qi Shao and Chu Xiu were also silent. This was not becoming a Buddha, but returning to the dust.
Warriors were born between heaven and earth and refined the Qi of Heaven and Earth into their bodies. Now that they had passed away, this power naturally had to be returned to heaven and earth.
In the 69th year of Yonghe in Eastern Qi, Holy Monk Tan Yuan passed away in Xuanji Temple in Songping Prefecture. He was born here and died here.
