In the air, the four of them were still locked in a stalemate. Hang Chi wanted to drag them down with him, but Xuan Wu was not stupid. He naturally avoided the problem and kicked the burden back to the three of them.
Unexpectedly, Hang Chi was forced into a corner and actually gave it away. He saw that Xuan Wu and Liao Zhi knew each other and seemed to have some relationship. Thus, he clenched his teeth and sneaked away while he took advantage of the chaos.
In fact, it was not far from Hang Chi's guess. After the crescent moon spade left his hand, Liao Zhi saw that something was wrong and quickly abandoned Hang Chi to protect Xuan Wu.
He was one of the insiders. He knew that although this person's cultivation was not high, he was a genuine envoy sent by the Buddha Spirit Realm. Other than having the Ghost King's letter as proof, if this person died in the Ghost Realm, it would definitely cause a shock.
With Liao Zhi's identity, if he was involved in this matter, even if he didn't die, he would lose a layer of skin. Thus, he made the choice without thinking.
Hang Chi's sneak attack was fast and accurate. Seeing that the two ghost cultivators would not be able to catch up, Xuan Wu was also shocked. How could he have expected such a change? He held the Buddhist staff in front of his chest and used a Buddhist movement technique. Suddenly, a golden light appeared from his body. Since he could not win, he could only brace himself and face it.
'Dang', the crescent moon spade flew straight towards Xuan Wu's face and smashed down. Suddenly, a golden light descended from his head and covered his entire body. Then, twelve sparkling and translucent Buddhist beads surrounded him, forming a protective circle to protect him.
When the crescent moon spade smashed down on one of the Buddhist beads, it was bounced back by the boundless Buddhist power. Liao Zhi's face was filled with joy when he saw this. He quickly looked up and shouted, "Who is this expert? Since you have come, why are you avoiding me?"
Xuan Wu's face also changed. He looked up and saw a black robed Huo Tuotuo with a ferocious face. He slowly descended and stabilized himself not far away from him. Then he sized him up and asked, "Who is Senior Yizhen?"
"He is my master." Xuan Wu's face relaxed when he heard his name. He immediately went up and bowed, "Disciple Xuan Wu greets Martial Uncle Yi."
When the two ghost cultivators saw this, they naturally thought that they were Protectors sent by the Buddhist Sect in secret. Listening to their conversation, they could tell the truth. Then, Liao Zhifei stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Master Yi, for your help. If anything happens to Xuan Wu in this world, we won't be able to escape responsibility."
It was obvious that Liao Zhi's cultivation was higher than the other party's, and he had shocked them with his first move. That was why Liao Zhi was so polite. He was well aware of just how domineering Xuan Wu had been when they had fought one-on-one. Thinking about it, he cupped his fists and replied, "That's fine. Since I've already shown myself, I will naturally take care of Xuan Wu. As for Hang Chi's matter, it has nothing to do with my Great Thunder Monastery. You two can do as you wish."
Hearing this, Liao Zhi and the other man looked at each other and immediately came up with a plan. After a moment of hesitation, Yi Tian and Xuan Wu left in pursuit of Hang Chi.
After the two left, Yi Tian slowly turned his head and stared at Xuan Wu. After sizing him up for a while, he asked, "Why did such an important matter in the Ghost King's letter fall into your hands? Could it be that the other powerful practitioners of the Great Thunder Monastery are not willing to show themselves?"
Xuan Wu shook his head and said, "Master instructed that there would be a powerful practitioner secretly escorting me on this trip. He also told me to meditate in the Crying Ghost Mountain Range for seven days and reflect on my heart."
'Ask you to reflect on your heart', Yi Tian indeed had some doubts about this. The Buddhist Sect had a divine ability that allowed people who cultivated it to know the future. Buddhist Yizhen probably cultivated this divine ability. That's why he said this.
Immediately, he asked, "Since it's like this, did Senior Yizhen mention that I would secretly help you?"
"He didn't. Master is cultivating in seclusion to comprehend the Zen Method of Good and Evil. I'm only listening to his instructions outside the secret room." Xuan Wu hastily replied.
"Zen Method of Good and Evil. Yizhen didn't expect you would also walk on this path. I hope you can pass it." Yi Tian's expression turned solemn, he sighed and said in a deep voice.
"Martial uncle, why are you sighing? Could it be that there's a problem with this Zen Method of Good and Evil? "Xuan Wu hastily asked.
Seeing this, Yi Tian's gaze swept past, but he didn't know how to explain it to him. He couldn't possibly say that this was the martial art of the previous generation's great master Jie Ding that caused him to fall into the demonic path.
After thinking for a while, he just kept silent and directly ignored it. After a while, he changed the topic, "Why did the abbot of the Great Lightning Temple assign this mission to you? He didn't know how dangerous it is to enter the ghost realm alone. Furthermore, repairing that Hungry Ghost Realm is not an easy matter."
Xuan Wu didn't reveal the slightest trace of fear after listening, "Martial uncle, please allow me to report. After my master returned to the temple from the spiritual realm, he was summoned by the ancestor. Ten years later, he will take over the position of abbot. He will become the second cultivator in the history of the Great Lightning Temple in a hundred thousand years to take over the position of abbot."
"The second one," Yi Tian suddenly had a bad premonition. He immediately asked, "Then is the first one called Jie Ding the ancestor divine monk?"
"That's right. Martial uncle, you have been away for so many years, how do you know the secret of our temple?" Xuan Wu replied in surprise.
"How many people know about this matter?"
Seeing Yi Tian's unfriendly expression, Xuan Wu immediately realized that there was something fishy about this matter. He replied while trembling, "Including me and martial uncle, there are a total of six people."
"Destiny, the will of heaven," Yi Tian waved his hand with a wry smile, then raised his head to look at the sky, "I didn't expect Senior Yizhen to walk on the path of Jie Ding. I hope he can comprehend and break the shackles. Otherwise, it will be another catastrophe for the Buddhist Sect."
"What do you mean? Martial uncle, please tell me, will my master be alright? "Xuan Wu asked anxiously.
"It's fine even if you say it's fine, it's fine even if you say it's fine," Yi Tian joked.
"Martial uncle, please enlighten me. If there is an opportunity to solve my master's crisis, disciple will do anything," Xuan Wu said firmly.
"One flower, one world, one can become a Buddha or a Demon with a single thought. This is the mirror image that Senior Brother Yizhen and I saw when we met in the Spirit Realm. Back then, the two of us followed Grandmaster Jie Ding's footsteps," Yi Tian said slowly. He then briefly recounted how Yizhen and Yizhen broke the demonic treasure left behind by Qiu Yu, the Sacred Demon Crown Prince, Qiu Yu, in the demonic mist region of the Spirit Realm.
Xuan Wu, who was beside him, was stunned. He knew that Yi Tian would finish his story, so he nodded and fell into deep thought.
Yi Tian knew that the amount of information was too much, so Xuan Wu couldn't accept it in a short time. Just as he guessed, Yizhen should be the person with the most profound understanding of Buddhism among this generation of Great Lightning Zen Temple cultivators.
That's why he was sent to the spiritual realm to find the traces of the modern patriarch. He must have gained a lot in One Flower, and after returning to the temple, he was summoned by the Mahayana patriarch and directly became the temple master.
Presumably, one of the conditions for him to become the temple master was to re-comprehend Jie Ding's good and evil zen method. That would explain what happened next.
After a while, Xuan Wu turned and respectfully knelt towards him, "Since Martial uncle was able to save master from One Flower, then you will definitely stop master from falling into the demonic path in the future. Disciple is willing to serve Martial uncle for the rest of my life. Martial uncle, please help my Great Lightning Zen Temple when the time comes. "
"The person who can stop your master is not me, but you. It can be guessed from the fact that he was willing to let you come to the ghost realm alone," Yi Tian replied with a smile.
