Inside the Great Light Temple, incense was burning brightly, and the entire temple was enveloped in the majestic sound of Buddha. Anyone who heard it could not help but feel a sense of solemnity.
However, there were very few Great Light Temple disciples active inside the temple. Most of them were cultivating in seclusion.
The Moon Worshipping Cult war had just ended, and the Great Light Temple was the main participant in this war. Half of the temple's elites had participated in that war.
In theory, there was no winner or loser in this war, but the Great Light Temple had suffered some damage.
Therefore, the injured disciples were all recovering, while the disciples who had participated in the war but were not injured were cultivating in seclusion. They wanted to digest all the experience they had gained from that war.
At that moment, in Xu Yun's meditation hall, Xu Yun was looking at the situation reported by a disciple. He passed the information to Xu Yan, who was sitting in front of him, and said calmly, "Take a look."
Xu Yan took the information and looked at it, while Xu Yun picked up a teacup and brewed some tea.
The Righteous Qi instantly caused the water in the teapot to boil. When it was poured into the teacup, the originally yellow tea leaves turned dark green. They immediately released a rich but pleasant aroma.
Xu Yun handed Xu Yan a cup of tea and said, "This is Snow Lotus Tea from the peak of the Great Snow Mountain. I guarded it for three years and only managed to gather a few stalks. After frying it, there are less than two taels left."
Xu Yan took the tea and drank it in one gulp like a cow chewing on a peony. Only then did he frown and say, "Senior, someone is causing trouble. I don't believe those sects and families have the guts to provoke the Great Light Temple."
Aside from dealing with those Demonic Path sects, the Great Light Temple rarely bullied others.
However, at the same time, the Great Light Temple's dignity was not to be challenged. Therefore, almost no one dared to provoke the Great Light Temple.
In the end, this group of sects and aristocratic families had all appeared around the Temple of Great Light, openly taking root in the territory of the Temple of Great Light. Aside from the fact that they had lost their minds, there was someone behind them causing trouble.
Xu Yun poured another cup of tea for Xu Yan and said, "The aftermath of the Moon Worshipping Cult incident is still here, and now someone is causing trouble. In troubled times, we must be more cautious. Junior Brother, drink slowly. Your mind is in a mess, and that's not good. "
Among the senior and junior brothers of the "Xu" generation, apart from Xu Du, whose strength could not be seen through, Xu Yun actually wanted to nurture Xu Yan the most.
There were too many martial art practitioners in the Great Light Temple, and the seniority was a bit messy. Back then, among the entire Xu generation, there were people of all ages, and Xu Yan was the most inconspicuous one.
Compared to him, he was inferior to Abbot Xu Ci and Xu Yun, who were older than him. Compared to him, he was not as fast as Xu Du, who had made a name for himself.
However, such a seemingly mediocre statement was taken seriously by Xu Yun.
Because he cultivated the Furious Diamond Heart Sutra.
This technique of the Vajra Department could be said to be extremely ferocious and violent. It was a top-notch body-refining technique that could be mastered quickly without affecting its subsequent power.
However, it was rather difficult to control the fury of the Guardian Deity.
Xu Yan managed to do this. He hid his fury in his heart, just like a martial art practitioner subduing the inner monkey. However, what Xu Yan subdued was a furious Guardian Deity that was not under his control.
There were many people in the Great Light Temple who were stronger than Xu Yan in terms of martial art talent, but what they lacked was someone like Xu Yan who could maintain this clarity of mind at all times.
Xu Yan thought about it and said, "Even if someone is causing trouble, this group of people is just a motley crew. We don't need to be too flustered. Let Zong Xuan investigate first. After the great battle between the Righteous and Demonic Paths, he has already completely familiarized himself with his own power. It's time for him to come into contact with some matters of the sect. "
As the successor that the Great Light Temple was grooming, Zong Xuan's strength was sufficient. In fact, among the younger generation, there were almost only a handful who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
However, the problem was that with Zong Xuan's personality, he was still far from becoming someone who could manage the entire Great Light Temple.
Hence, now that Zong Xuan was still young, Xu Yan also wanted Zong Xuan to get more involved in the affairs of the Jianghu and familiarize himself with them.
Xu Yun nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you first. I'll go and find Xu Jing to do some divination. The turmoil in the Jianghu is not calm again."
After saying that, Xu Yun moved his feet and his figure instantly disappeared from the meditation room.
Xu Yan, who was sitting where he was, shook his head and drank another mouthful of tea. However, this time, he did not swallow it all in one gulp. This allowed him to have a slightly different taste.
At this time, around the Great Light Temple, dozens of families had already begun to break ground and build. It looked like they were going to set up camp here.
Buddhism was originally a peaceful place, but the positions that these dozens of families had chosen allowed the martial art practitioners of the Great Light Temple to stand at a high place and be able to see them at a glance. There was no need to mention how vexed this was.
However, while they were vexed, the dozens of families were even more vexed. This was not something that they wanted to come here, but they were forced to do so.
Although Chu Xiu had given them a rough area to dig in, in their opinion, this matter still seemed somewhat unreliable.
However, since they were already here, what else could they do? They could only let their disciples continue digging.
However, at this time, a disciple came forward to report that they had dug something up.
As soon as this news came out, many of the family heads and sect leaders immediately gathered there and whispered to each other.
They had previously suspected that Chu Xiu was deceiving them, but they did not expect that he had really dug something up and brought it here.
Furthermore, this was not impossible. After all, the surroundings of the Great Light Temple did not seem safe, but it was coincidentally the safest place.
In all these years, who would dare to wander around the Great Light Temple? Only the Kunlun Devil Cult from 500 years ago would dare to do so.
Sun Changli was the first to rub his hands and said, "Everyone, let's dig and see what good stuff is inside. After all, this is something that the Kunlun Devil Cult had buried in the past. The good stuff is probably beyond our imagination. "
As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately sent people to dig. In less than half a day, a small underground palace appeared before their eyes.
This underground palace was originally a place where the Blood Demon Hall had hidden some of their resources in the past, so there were not too many dangers and traps. There was only a formation to protect it.
Chu Xiu had taught everyone how to break the formation, so it was very easy for them to open this underground palace.
Everyone entered the underground palace and looked at the boxes of refined pills, various types of strange metals, and even forged weapons and hidden weapons. They were almost all the hard currency of the martial world, and everyone's eyes were red with envy.
Even if the items that the Kunlun Devil Cult had collected in the past were just ordinary cultivation resources, they would still be extraordinary in the hands of these small families and sects.
Even if the dozens of forces were to split 80% of the treasures in this underground palace, they would still make a huge profit.
Of course, there were also people who wondered if they should suggest that they take more of the things here. After all, Chu Xiu did not know how many treasures they had found.
However, this idea was extinguished as soon as it appeared, because Shen Feiying was among these people.
This was the loyal lackey of Chu Xiu. In order to curry favor with Chu Xiu, he did not care about his reputation at all.
Previously, when Chu Xiu asked him to destroy the Feng Family, he directly led all the elites of the Giant Spirit Gang and even took the lead. It took less than six hours to destroy the Feng Family.
Now, if they had the idea of taking everything for themselves, Shen Feiying would definitely tell on them.
Moreover, it was not only Shen Feiying. Who knew what the people present were thinking? If someone agreed on the surface, but secretly told on them, they would not even know how they died.
After all, if one family died, there would be one less family to share the benefits.
Therefore, everyone suppressed the greed in their hearts and said in unison, "Take out the things first. After distributing them, send Official Chu's share to the Zhenwu Hall. After that, we will divide the rest equally."
After no one had any doubts, everyone was just about to pull out the things when a disciple of a small family ran over in a panic and said, "Not good! Not good! The people from the Great Light Temple are here to inquire! "
Everyone present looked at each other and sighed.
What was meant to come would eventually come.
They did not dare to face Chu Xiu for fear of being killed. Therefore, they could only face the Great Light Temple.
Moreover, even if they were very resistant before, after the treasures in the underground palace were discovered, they suddenly realized that their resistance did not seem to be so strong.
Something like profit was enough to make many people lose sight of themselves and take risks out of desperation.
Although the leaders of the families present thought that they could see themselves clearly, there was still an underground palace that had not been excavated. Even if Chu Xiu asked them to leave now, they would not be willing to leave.
"Everyone, let's go and meet the people from the Great Light Temple. However, please do not forget what Official Chu ordered!" Shen Feiying said sinisterly.
He scoffed. Although everyone listened, it did not mean that they would not look down on traitors like Shen Feiying.
The leader of the Great Light Temple was Zong Xuan. However, Xu Yan knew Zong Xuan's personality. He naturally would not just throw Zong Xuan out like that. Someone must watch over him.
Other than Zong Xuan and dozens of disciples from the Great Light Temple, there was another person with the Dharma name Mingjing. He was one of the more outstanding people in the Ming generation of the Great Light Temple.
Back when he was cultivating in the Vajra Institution, he was a rare powerhouse in the Oneness of Heaven and Man Realm. After the great war between the righteous and demonic in the Moon Worshipping Cult, he took the opportunity to fight with the powerhouses of the Moon Worshipping Cult and learned something. Therefore, he successfully entered the Martial Arts Master Realm.
Xu Yan was training him with all his might and even had the intention of making him the next Vajra Institution's First Seat.
At that moment, everyone walked in and greeted him with smiles on their faces. They even had people serve them tea and water. Their attitudes were extremely polite.
"We did not know that the eminent monks of the Great Light Temple would come. It is our fault for not coming out to welcome you."
However, seeing the people present, Mingjing's expression suddenly darkened. He said coldly, "Leaders of the families, shouldn't you give the Great Light Temple an explanation?"
