Li Boyang's name made Xuan Ming's face turn ugly, but Xuan Ku said lightly, "There is no need to do this. The struggle between Taoism and Buddhism has existed since ancient times. Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Today, Taoism is prosperous, and in the future, our Buddhism may also be glorious."
Xuan Ming nodded and said, "Li Boyang should be the only one in that Taoism who has broken through to this realm. The head of Taiyidaomen Sect, 'Yuan Xu Wanren' Xuan Chenzi, has been in closed-door training for a hundred years and hasn't come out yet. He should not have broken through to that realm."
Xuan Ku shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't see through Xuan Chenzi. Taiyidaomen Sect is quiet and inactive, but Xuan Chenzi is too inactive. He is inactive to the point that he is like a memorial arch, which has been standing for hundreds of years."
Xuan Ku paused and suddenly said, "In addition to Taoism, there is actually one person in our Buddhism who may have stepped into this realm."
Xuan Ming said with a dignified face, "Is it the head of Jin Gang Temple, 'Buddha of Treasure' Suo Nanche?"
Buddhism masters were named after Bodhisattva, but this' Buddha of Treasure 'Suo Nanche was named after Buddha. He was the only Real Martial Arts Realm strongman in Buddhism. If it were not for him, Buddhism would have been destroyed by Shaolin Temple.
Xuan Ku shook his head and said, "It's my junior brother."
Hearing these two words, Xuan Ming's face suddenly became complicated.
Xuan Tan was the youngest among the Xuan generation, even younger than him, but Xuan Tan walked in front of everyone. Xuan Ku said that Xuan Tan could reach this realm, and Xuan Ming never doubted it.
However, Xuan Ming also knew that Xuan Ku could not be blamed for what happened in the past.
Even the Shaolin Temple, which was known as a peaceful place of Buddhism, could not avoid fighting for power and profit.
When the Old Abbot died, the older generation of martial artists of the Shaolin Temple were somewhat dissatisfied with the Old Abbot's choice of the youngest Xuan Tan as the Abbot. However, because he was, after all, in the True Martial Realm, no one said anything.
However, when Xuan Tan's radical way of doing things was carried out, and he even reformed the most fundamental rule of the Shaolin Temple, this was something that the monks of the older generation could not tolerate.
At that time, the older generation of monks in Shaolin Temple was still very powerful, so powerful that they could influence half of the warriors in Shaolin Temple.
Therefore, Xuan Ku did not accept this position at that time, because he would have to face the divided Shaolin Temple. Whether it was for public or private reasons, he had to accept this position.
Xuan Ming sorted out his emotions, no longer thinking about these things, and said to Xuan Ku, "Senior Brother, there is news from Shengjing City that Su Xin has a Buddhist bone relic left by a senior monk of the True Martial Realm in ancient times. It has been proven to be real, and Su Xin once used this Buddhist bone relic to trade with Esoteric Buddhism for three days.
In Su Xin's hands, the Buddhist bone relic can only be a waste, but now that Esoteric Buddhism is in a favorable position, I am afraid that they will use something to trade for this Buddhist bone relic from Su Xin's hands. "
Xuan Ku nodded and said, "Well, you take some people with you. Don't take Xuan Zhen, just take a few martial uncles from Arhat Hall or Prajna Hall."
Xuan Ming nodded. He knew what Xuan Ku meant.
Those people in the Lecture Hall were very extreme. Although Xuan Zhen was one of the strongest Yang Spirit Realm experts in Shaolin Temple, even stronger than some of the previous generation of martial artists who had been living in seclusion, he could not control him at all. Even Xuan Ku could not command him.
This time, they did not plan to snatch the Buddhist bone relic from Su Xin, so Xuan Zhen did not need to take him.
Xuan Ming nodded, took Xuan Ku's warrant, and went directly back to Arhat Hall, to a house in the deepest part of Arhat Hall.
He pushed the door open, and suddenly the inside was illuminated by Buddha's light. It turned out to be another independent space, but like the Su family's Ningyuan Hall, it only belonged to half a space, and the exit was directly connected to the outside.
A place like Shaolin Temple, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, naturally had an amazing heritage.
From the outside, Shaoshi Mountain looked very ordinary, but in fact, there was a universe inside.
The whole Shaolin Temple was covered with formations, and there was such an independent space in Arhat Hall and other branches of Shaolin Temple. The Qi of Heaven and Earth inside was extremely rich, which was very suitable for martial artists to cultivate.
Xuan Ming let out a long breath and said, "The abbot has ordered all Martial Uncles to go down the mountain with me."
"Do you have the warrant of the abbot?" A stiff voice came from inside.
After Xuan Ming took out the warrant of the abbot, the person inside said, "Wait first. We are still cultivating, and we will finish in three days. At that time, we will naturally come to find you."
There was a trace of anger in Xuan Ming's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it. His expression did not change, and he said, "Then I will wait for you outside."
The person cultivating in this independent space was actually the real hidden power of Shaolin Temple, the senior monks of the previous generation with the surname "Kong".
On the surface, there were only two Yang Spirit Realm warriors in Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ming of Arhat Hall and Xuan Zhen of Lecture Hall.
But in fact, if you thought about it, you would know that Shaolin Temple could not only have such little strength. Qingcheng Sword School had five warriors in Yang Spirit Realm, and Shaolin Temple could not only have two.
However, the style of Shaolin Temple was different from that of Qingcheng Sword School. The people in charge of Shaolin Temple were all warriors of the same generation.
For example, the abbot of the previous generation was of the "Kong" generation, so Shaolin Temple was also managed by the senior monks of the "Kong" generation.
Later, when Xuan Tan took over as abbot, all the monks of the "Kong" generation entered that space to cultivate in seclusion, letting the monks of the "Xuan" generation take over.
Therefore, the strongest power that Shaolin Temple showed to the outside world was actually the power of the "Xuan" generation, but not all the power of Shaolin Temple.
However, Xuan Ming did not like these monks of the "Kong" generation. Even though they were his seniors, Xuan Ming had a lot of opinions about them.
If they had not stood up together to accuse and force Xuan Tan, Xuan Tan would not have stepped down as abbot.
Most importantly, when they saw that they had actually succeeded in forcing an abbot to abdicate, they became even more arrogant in their actions.
It was just that they did not dare to be arrogant in front of Xuan Ku, but they did not care so much about others because they were of high seniority and were strong.
Although Xuan Ming was also at the Yang Spirit Realm like them, the monks of the "Kong" generation were all Shishu and Shibo of Xuan Ming. Even if they were at the same level, he had to maintain a respectful attitude.
From their conversation just now, it could be seen that these monks had never taken Xuan Ming, the president of Arhat Hall, seriously.
But the problem was that Xuan Ming could only bear with what they said now, because Shaolin Temple still needed them.
The "Xuan" generation of Shaolin Temple had not yet fully grown up. For example, Xuan Tong, the president of Prajna Hall, had the strength to advance to the Yang Spirit Realm in the future.
Moreover, the next generation of the "Jue" generation of Shaolin Temple had just begun to emerge, so now Shaolin Temple could not lose their backbone.
Xuan Ming shook his head. He did not want to work with these monks of the "Kong" generation.
If it were not for the fact that he might have to face the people of Esoteric Buddhism in Shengjing City this time, he was even ready to go alone.
These monks of the "Kong" generation were the backbone of Shaolin Temple before they went into seclusion. At that time, Shaolin Temple was also at its strongest, even suppressing the Central Plains.
At that time, as long as the people of Shaolin Temple took action, it was guaranteed that evil spirits would retreat, and no one would dare to go against them. Therefore, their way of doing things was extremely domineering.
Later, when Shaolin Temple was at its lowest point, they chose to go into seclusion. Under the leadership of Xuan Tan, the whole Shaolin Temple resisted the pressure of the Good Fortune Gate, and even brought many benefits and strength to Shaolin Temple in the face of adversity.
These were all things that Xuan Ming had experienced in the past, but these senior monks of the "Kong" generation did not help much, and they spent all their time in seclusion in the secret realm.
However, it was also because of this that their way of doing things was still stuck in that era. They would not compromise when they encountered something, but would only crush it to the end.
However, that era had passed, and now Shaolin Temple had to think for a long time before they wanted to take action against a force. For example, Xuan Ming and the other heads of the various branches of Shaolin Temple were experienced and cautious.
Those monks of the "Kong" generation who spent all their time in seclusion and had never experienced such adversity were definitely not comparable to Xuan Ming and the others.
However, they were of high seniority and were strong. Although they could not help, they could cause as much trouble as two.
Moreover, Shaolin Temple still needed their existence to deter evil, so it was even more necessary to worship them like Bodhisattvas. Unless the "Xuan" generation completely grew up, these monks of the "Kong" generation would still need to be worshiped.
After waiting like this for three days, the three "Kong" generation monks came out of seclusion. Xuan Ming brought a few Harmonious God Realm and Divine Transformation Realm warriors and went straight to Shengjing City.
Although the three "Kong" generation monks did not have a good attitude, none of the monks from Shaolin Temple were weak.
At their peak, Shaolin Temple was at its peak. Therefore, if they followed Shaolin Temple to suppress the martial arts world of the Central Plains, their combat strength would definitely be guaranteed.
Moreover, this time, they were not going to fight against Buddhism. They only wanted the Buddha bone relic in Su Xin's hands. Xuan Ming brought so many people with him to prevent Esoteric Buddhism from acting against them in Shengjing City.
They were well aware of the enmity between the Tantric Sect and the Shaolin Temple. The Tantric Sect was definitely capable of such a thing.
Even in Shengjing City, the group of people from Buddhism would definitely dare to act against them if they were enraged. Therefore, they had to be careful.
The Henan Path was very close to the Beiyuan Path, and the speed of warriors in the Yang God Realm was even more terrifying. Even if they took care of a few warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm, which slowed them down a little, it only took them three days to reach Shengjing City.
Among the "Kong" generation monks, a monk with a long beard and a huge Buddha bead that was as thick as a fist sighed and said, "I remember that in the past, this place was just a piece of barren land. The Qi of Heaven and Earth was not rich. Even the Dugu Clan of Beiyuan did not care about this place. Who would have thought that Ji Haodian would take over this land and build a capital city. How unexpected."
Hearing this, Xuan Ming's expression changed. He turned to the monk and said, "Uncle Kong Jian, this is Shengjing City. Please watch your words and don't cause unnecessary trouble."
