After dinner, the abbot of the temple found Ye Xuan and asked if Ye Xuan was ready. Ye Xuan nodded in response, so Ye Xuan followed the abbot of the temple to a remote place in the temple.
This place was usually just a place where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was worshiped. It did not cause disharmony with the temple, and it was also the most inconspicuous place in the temple. He did not expect that such an inconspicuous place was actually the entrance to the place where the temple's treasure, the Sarira, was located.
"Benefactor, you must be careful!" The abbot of the temple exhorted.
Ye Xuan nodded cautiously and said goodbye to the abbot.
Before entering the entrance where the Sarira was hidden, Ye Xuan carefully counted the talismans and other equipment he had brought with him. After confirming that there were no mistakes, Ye Xuan embarked on the road to find the Sarira of this temple.
After entering, what he saw was only a long staircase. Ye Xuan turned on the flashlight and found that he was surrounded by stone walls. There was nothing special about it.
Ye Xuan knew that this was just for show, and he could not take it lightly. After all, the only way was this endless staircase, so there was no need to choose another path.
He took out a talisman with complicated patterns on it. This was a substitute talisman that he had specially found and made from the "Maoshan Secret Technique".
He moved his mind and mobilized the spiritual qi in his body, injected it into the talisman, and then silently chanted a special spell. After that, he threw the talisman into the air. After the talisman turned a circle in the air, it turned into a little person.
This little person was Ye Xuan's substitute. It had Ye Xuan's breath on it, and it could take a certain amount of damage for him.
The little person walked in front of Ye Xuan to explore the way. If anything happened, the first to suffer would be the little person, not Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan gripped the flashlight tightly and walked down the stairs in the pitch-black tunnel. As expected, when the dwarf stepped on one of the stairs, many stone arrows fell from the stone wall above the tunnel.
One had to know that this passage was very narrow. If it was an ordinary person, how could they avoid so many stone arrows with only stone walls on both sides? I'm afraid he would have been poked into a hornet's nest!
However, Ye Xuan was not an ordinary person. He immediately reacted and took out a Protective Array Talisman. He threw it into the air and used his spiritual power to activate the talisman. The talisman immediately formed a protective shield to block the stone arrows. The little person was still in front of him to open a path.
It had to be said that the design of this mechanism was very ingenious. Most people would only pay attention to the left and right sides of the stone wall, but they didn't expect the stone arrows to leak out from the top, making it impossible for people to guard against them.
The passageway was so long and deep that the bottom couldn't be seen. This was also a psychological test for those who entered this place. If a person walked alone in this bottomless place for a long time, they would feel a sense of fear, causing them to lose their composure. Moreover, this place itself was a good place to reduce one's sense of direction.
Perhaps it could be guessed that this was a kind of stone staircase made of magnetic stones. Sure enough, some of the mechanisms on the road were only ordinary. After reaching flat ground, under the illumination of the flashlight, there began to be a fork in the road.
If there was no guidance or if one's cultivation was not high, perhaps they would forever be lost in this underground labyrinth.
Ye Xuan could not only use talismans to fight, but Ye Xuan could also close his eyes and gather his spiritual power in them. After standing still, he began to explore. The little person obediently stayed by his side, as if it was guarding him. Once there was any movement, it could immediately react to protect Ye Xuan.
If someone had some cultivation, they would be able to see that there was an aura around Ye Xuan. This aura was the manifestation of his spiritual power leaking out, and under his control, it explored the entire passage.
This was a method of using True Essence that he had recently developed. If he had divine sense in the past, he would naturally be able to do this very easily. With a divine sense, he would be able to clearly see everything within a radius of a few thousand meters. But now that the power of his whole body was suppressed, he could only think of another method.
After that, there were not many obstacles on the road, which was also a good thing. This allowed Ye Xuan to focus on finding the relics of the senior monks.
The stone walls of this underground palace were all carved with Buddhist scriptures, which had a purifying effect on some evil spirits. Moreover, it also had a weakening effect on the impure spiritual power of people with evil thoughts, and even had a dispelling effect.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan came here to take the relics. Although he had selfish motives, he was also here to save people and eliminate resentful spirits, so the spiritual power here did not have any effect on him.
However, the following journey was not easy. Ye Xuan found that as he gradually went deeper, he did not enter the center of the underground palace. He had not even seen the shadow of the relics, but instead felt that he was constantly going in circles around the underground palace. His spiritual power exploration should not have any problems, and the little person that was catalyzed by spiritual power was also walking normally, so why did this situation occur?
It must be caused by some kind of mechanism in this underground palace. Ye Xuan thought of something and stopped in his tracks. He found that the little person did not stop because he stopped, but continued to walk forward.
Ye Xuan felt that this was very similar to some of the rumors he had heard in the real world. When Ye Xuan used his spiritual power to order the little person to stop, the little person did not stop, but continued to move forward, and after a while, the little person actually walked back in front of him.
This meant that there must be a problem, this was probably what ordinary people meant by ghosts hitting the wall. The reason why the little person was also affected was because the little person was, after all, a thing that was driven by people. So even though there was no problem with the exploration of spiritual power, the little person still kept walking in circles. He suddenly remembered the Buddhist scriptures that he saw on the wall before. Perhaps the Buddhist scriptures were not only purifying evil thoughts or evil spirits.
If Ye Xuan's guess was correct, he thought that this should be to prevent people with cultivation from entering this place. However, their spiritual power was not weakened, so when they explored with their spiritual power, they would activate the Buddhist scriptures on the wall. Not only did the Buddhist scriptures have a purifying effect, but they also created a kind of formation.
However, Ye Xuan did not know much about these things. He had been thinking quietly ever since he stopped in his tracks. It seemed like this Sarira was not something that could be taken away easily. He was definitely not the only powerful person who had coveted this Sarira since ancient times. Since this place could guard the Sarira for so many years, there must be some secret behind it. Therefore, it was not a loss for him to be trapped here.
