Chapter 258: Kanli Blessed Land, Guanxuan Temple
Chapter 258: Kanli Blessed Land, Guanxuan Temple (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month~)
The Buddhist master of preaching at Baiyu Monastery, Monk Jingshi, has attained the fourth level of cleansing and has practiced the "stone-carrying pain". His strength is comparable to that of a dragon or an elephant and he is not easy to deal with.
Especially since he knew he was in a desperate situation, the monk used all his strength in every move, like a madman.
Fortunately, Xichuan Jiange has always been on guard against this Four-Wash Demon Monk. There are always at least two Jindan on duty here, and there is often support.
It just so happened that today, the two Jindan guarding the second realm were Elders Di Bai and Hu Qing who came from Biyun Temple, and the one who came to mop up the support today happened to be Biyun Temple's current senior sister, Wu Mei, known as the "Female Flying Bear".
The three men were from the same sect and cooperated well. They immediately formed a sword formation, trapping Monk Jingshi in it. In the end, they managed to kill him without any danger, destroying both his soul and body.
Wu Mei was slightly injured, but not seriously. Hu Qing's flying sword was hit, so he had to go back to recuperate. Because Li Bai had not yet recovered from his own injuries, Wu Mei and Hu Qing took care of him and protected him, so he was not seriously injured.
There were also some young geniuses. Even if they were only at the second level, they could still stop the Jindan Demon Monk if they worked together. For example, Bailong and Zhaoli together stopped a Jindan Demon Monk.
And once the three Jindan masters of Biyun Temple are free, it will be easy to deal with these evil monks.
As for the rest of the Xuanmen disciples, their main task was to collect stones and protect the mountain. Those little demons in the first and second realms could just run away.
When the dust finally settled outside, everyone remembered that the ground had only been shaking violently for a while at the beginning, and although they could still hear lion roars afterwards, no other big noises were heard.
And in that stone mountain, the lion's roar stopped and it was quiet for a long time. Did Yunlai Sanren subdue the lion monster?
After everyone finished their work, they gradually gathered around the stone mountain.
"Clouds coming?"
Wu Mei shouted loudly.
"Roar--"
She was answered with a lion's roar.
Wu Mei's face changed drastically, and she immediately took out her magic sword, ready to rush in. When the two boys learned that Cheng Xinzhan was coming, they also panicked and hurried in to take a look.
"Don't be anxious about blushing, there is no obstacle to my path."
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xinzhan's voice was heard from inside again.
Then, everyone saw a white light leap out, and after it stopped in the air, the light converged and turned into a lion with green mane and white hair. The lion was the size of a buffalo, majestic and majestic. On the lion's back sat a Taoist priest with cross-legged legs, and it was Cheng Xinzhan.
Seeing this, Wu Mei smiled and put away her sword, saying jokingly,
"You are so good, Yunlai. We are busy and hard-working outside, but you went to collect your mount."
Ding Bai flew closer. He was very knowledgeable. He circled the lion, marveled at it, and said,
"Yunlai, you are lucky. This lion is not simple. It has a green mane and white fur, and golden eyes and indigo eyes. It is the most favored spiritual animal of the Tibetan Maha Sect. If you take it to Tibet to sell, I dare say that the masters there will pay any price for it."
Wu Mei and Ding Bai, with a few words between them, had already recognized on behalf of Xichuan Jiange that the lion monster that escaped from the rocky mountain belonged to Cheng Xinzhan.
Cheng Xinzhan felt a little embarrassed as he was trying to hide his thoughts, but his two friends were very sincere.
But let it be in vain for me to be a villain. The matter of the tiger is of great importance and I really have to be careful. If it is really made public, even if these friends are not interested, I am afraid they will not have the right to decide the ownership.
Cheng Xinzhan replied,
"Indeed, I saw this divine beast and was tempted to take it as my mount. I hope you can forgive me."
Wu Mei waved her hands repeatedly and said,
"Yunlai is too polite. If you hadn't come today, the lion demon would have been trying to escape and we wouldn't have been able to deal with it for a while. We should thank you."
At this time, the two boys saw Cheng Xinzhan, and stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right, saying,
"master."
Shishanjun looked down at Zhaoli and was a little surprised.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and nodded.
“You guys are good.”
Then, he looked at Wu Mei and said,
"I think you guys will need to clean up here for a while, so the boys and I won't bother you anymore."
The meaning of Cheng Xinzhan's words was very clear, that is, he was already satisfied with getting the lion monster mount and didn't want anything else.
This time, he caught up with the lion monster and escaped. The demons took advantage of the chaos to escape and all ran out, and the entire White Jade Forest was cleared. Logically speaking, he had done a great deed by restraining the lion monster. He was going to share the benefits of the slain demons and the benefits in the stone mountain, not to mention that the two boys were still fighting.
Wu Mei felt that it was inappropriate, but Cheng Xinzhan did not say any more. He shook his whisk, and the four hooves of the lion he was sitting on started to rise into the blue sky, holding up the two children, and flew away with Cheng Xinzhan on its back, disappearing in a flash.
----
But when he arrived near Jiange in Xichuan, Cheng Xinzhan realized that it was a bit inconvenient to live in Jiange anymore.
The lion is too big and has difficulty moving. Besides, Jiange is the territory of Xuanmen after all. If a master from the fourth or fifth realm comes one day, the origin of the lion will probably be seen through.
He thought about it and felt that he should open up a separate cave in Xikang, and it couldn't be a crowded place like Bailongqi Mountain and Yanhuai Mountain. Even if it wasn't for the lions, it would be more convenient for him to practice magic and meditate sometimes.
Moreover, he had only tried it out briefly just now, but he had already tested out the extreme speed of this lion, which was similar to his Yang Fire Sword Escape, and three times faster than the Li Fire Sword Escape. As long as it was in Xikang, it didn't matter which mountain it was on.
After a little thought, he remembered a place, the bank of the Dadu River, where he had made the wind-catching net. There was a mixture of ice and fire, and both yin and yang, which was suitable for setting up a government.
Moreover, I thought I would have to refine the net many times, and I also used the Purple Fire Rotten Peach to set up a mountain protection array there. Later, I collected the wind dew once successfully, and then went to the White River Sword Pavilion, but forgot to collect it. Now it seems that it is also a predestined method, and it can be regarded as occupying the land in advance.
Yes, that place is about the same distance from the two Jianges in Baihe and Xichuan. If there is any danger or any major event to slay the demon, it would be convenient for me to rush there.
"Bai Long, go to the Sword Pavilion and pack up the things in the room. We will build a new residence. If Ren Ying is here, tell him and explain that there is no other intention, but I have to perform a magic show recently, which will make a lot of noise. It will be more convenient for me to live outside the pavilion. I will tell him the new location of the residence."
Having made up his mind, Cheng Xinzhan instructed Bailong that a dog is careful and could do these things better than a cat.
Bailong took the order and went down riding the wind.
At this time, there was no one around, so the lion opened his mouth and said,
"You, the boy, are called Bailong, but you don't have dragon blood in your body. But this girl has dragon blood, the blood of Suanni."
The lion suddenly made a sound, which scared Zhao Li and he looked at the lion in surprise.
The cat was surprised, but the lion was even more surprised. He was wondering who the Taoist priest on his back was and why his magic could summon such an unheard-of and unseen lion saint, and why the boy beside him actually had the blood of a Suanni.
And what kind of mythical beast is Suanni? According to legend, it is the offspring of the five-clawed golden dragon from the East and the lion mother from the Western Leo Palace, and the blood flowing in its body is extremely rare and noble lion blood.
At this moment, the Snow Lion Mountain King's spirit was restrained a little bit.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled when he heard what the lion said. He was willing to show kindness to this somewhat nervous lion, so he explained,
"He is a white dog from Miaojiang. He has a good figure and can climb mountains and cross rivers as agilely as a dragon. That's why people over there call him that, and I call him that too." As for dragon blood.
Cheng Xinzhan looked at Zhao Li and said,
“I don’t think this is very important. Nowadays, there are many dragons and snakes that don’t have dragon blood in their bodies. They are so abundant, but only a few of them can become successful.
"Looking at all the creatures in the world, those who have been able to reproduce from the beginning of ancient times to the present are all powerful, just like the canines, don't they also have demon saints like Tiangou, Panhu, and Huodou?"
After hearing this, the lion fell silent again.
Zhao Li was very smart and knew that these words were not only spoken to the lion, but also to herself. She looked at Cheng Xinzhan, bowed, and said,
"Tong'er understands."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded, then closed his eyes and rested on the lion's back.
After a while, Bai Long came back and said to Cheng Xinzhan,
"Master, everything has been packed. Pavilion Master Yan asked me to tell you that the Linggu Jingshe will remain empty for you. You can come back anytime you want. In addition, he will pick an auspicious time to visit you at your new residence to congratulate you on your move."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded and pressed his dust tail onto the lion's back. The lion understood and flew away on a cloud.
After a while, Qingyun floated to the mountain covered by colorful clouds. He knew at a glance that the formation he had set up showed no signs of being tampered with. Instead, the Purple Fire Rotten Peach Evil was entangled with the colorful poisonous clouds in this place, which produced some unusual changes and made the formation more powerful.
He decided to set up his government here.
He pointed at the lion and headed east to the foot of the mountain, where he had built a furnace to refine weapons. The terrain was flat, there were many springs, and a place with running water was suitable for settling down.
He got down from the lion's back.
The lion seemed a little anxious, not knowing whether it was because he was not used to the new environment or the new identity. He tossed his four hooves around, scratching sparks out of the rocks, and said sullenly,
"It's cooler at the top of the mountain. I want to go to the top."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded after hearing this.
"Go on your own, but don't go too far."
The lion didn't expect him to agree so readily. He thought he had heard it wrong and didn't move for a while. Then he saw Cheng Xinzhan looking at him curiously, and he was sure that the Taoist was not joking. He stepped into the air with all four hooves and flew to the top of the mountain.
The lion flew to the top and landed in the snow, feeling the wind and snow blowing on his face. The feeling that he had not felt for thousands of years came back to him, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a long roar.
"Roar--"
The lion's roar exploded on the top of the mountain, which naturally triggered an avalanche, and the accumulated snow fell like a waterfall.
"Keep your voice down, don't bury the mountain."
Cheng Xinzhan's words came up from the mountainside.
When the lion heard this, it was as if a fishbone was stuck in its throat, and it immediately stopped talking.
However, once this gentleman was freed, the resentment that had been imprisoned for a thousand years was released when the seal was broken. Although he was also in a miserable state, the depression was gone, so he felt quite comfortable at the moment, and he quietly crawled on the snow, looking into the distance.
After waiting for the avalanche to pass, Cheng Xinzhan began to tidy up his new home.
First of all, these smoking poisonous springs must be cleaned up, and he gave this task to Bailong and Zhaoli. Bailong can regulate the earth veins, and Zhaoli can clean up the poisonous smoke, and they are good at doing this.
As for Cheng Xinzhan himself, he began to build a cave.
The place he chose was a gentle slope on the eastern side of the mountain. The clustered hot springs were also along the outer edge. There were no suitable steep cliffs, so it would not be appropriate to dig a hole in the mountain wall like Wuyou Cave and Yangtaiju.
It’s time to set up a viewing platform.
However, this did not pose a problem for Cheng Xinzhan. His spiritual practice started with the visualization of palaces and temples. He was very familiar with the construction of palaces and temples. It could be said that it was a piece of cake for him to build a Taoist temple for three people and a lion to practice.
He immediately started to cut stones and wood.
He was not in a hurry. While he was sorting out the land veins, removing drugs and opium, and building the temple, he was also adapting to local conditions and improving the formations, taking these three things into consideration simultaneously. After all, he was planning to live in Xikang for a long time, and since he was going to build a Taoist temple, he couldn't be too careless.
It took a full half month, and only when Cheng Xinzhan saw that the outline of the Taoist temple had taken shape did he stop.
Now, after the hard work of him and the two children, the appearance of the mountain has changed greatly.
First of all, the hot springs are clear. Cheng Xinzhan counted them and found that there are sixteen hot springs on this flat slope alone. The hot spring pools are not big, the small ones are six or seven feet, and the big ones are two or three meters.
The water from these springs is crystal clear, with water bubbling from the center. There is no smoke or poison, only curling vapor rising up, which is very pleasing to the eye.
These springs guard a small Taoist temple with only two floors and a small courtyard at the back. There is an original green pine tree in the courtyard. There is also a steaming hot spring and a flaming fire pit enclosed in the courtyard.
Although the Taoist temple is small, it looks very simple and elegant.
The mountain protection formation took Cheng Xinzhan a lot of thought. He extracted the fire poison, earth poison, and gold poison from the ground, forming a poisonous cloud and miasma that covered the mountain. He also refined peach blossom miasma and cold light miasma into it, thus gathering all five elements.
In addition, he sent the cool spiritual energy of the snow-capped mountains here, so the geothermal heat rose and the cold air settled, which formed a pattern of drawing Kan and filling Li, and the yang rising and the yin falling.
This foundation is very good. With some adjustments in the future, the mountain protection formation of an ordinary small sect will be no more than this.
At this moment, outside the Taoist temple, Cheng Xinzhan saw the completion of the Taoist temple, looked at the flow of Yin and Yang and Five Elements in the formation, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Master, it's time to give it a name."
Zhao Li pointed at the blank plaque on the Taoist temple and said.
Cheng Xinzhan nodded. Zhao Li reminded him that it was not just the name of the temple. Now that the temple was built, the mountain had an owner. A mark had to be made on the mountain to remind the practitioners coming and going not to stay there casually and risk their lives by breaking into the formation.
He thought for a moment, summoned his flying sword, and first looked at the top of the mountain. Then he found a suitable stone wall above the colorful clouds that protected the mountain. People passing by could see it. He used his flying sword to carve five large characters in Yunli script on the stone wall:
"The blessed land of Kanli Mountain".
Then, he retracted his gaze and the flying sword, and looked at the Taoist temple plaque again. As for the name of the Taoist temple, well, it was simple. He raised the flying sword again and wrote three cursive characters in a dragon-like and phoenix-like style.
"Guan Xuan Guan".
