Chapter 215 Zhang Wanzhi's source of motivation

In addition to the native Buddhists from the Chan Heart Realm, there were also several strong men from the Xian Yin Realm in the Reclining Buddha Temple.

The noise made by Motu and the others naturally attracted the attention of these people.

As soon as Li Xiuchang and the other two entered the Reclining Buddha Temple, they saw five or six old Taoist priests coming over. One of them looked familiar to Li Xiuchang, who was probably an elder from the Xian Chen Sect.

"Daoists," an old Taoist in a yellow robe said kindly, "We are the elders of the four major sects in the Xian Yin Realm. I wonder where you are from?"

Li Xiuchang and the other two did not look like locals from the Chan Heart Realm at first glance, especially the soul pressure that Motu had just displayed. His strength was enough to make these elders afraid, so they all guessed that Li Xiuchang and the others were also from the upper realm.

As a social person, Zhang Wanzhi had to come forward at this time. He was about to make up a name from the upper realm to fool the old Taoist priests, but he didn't expect Li Xiuchang to speak first.

Li Xiuchang said in a cold tone: "I don't want to say it."

"This..." Several old Taoist priests were inevitably embarrassed. They introduced themselves and made friends with good intentions, but were rebuked by one sentence.

But when they looked at Li Xiuchang's outfit again, they found that he was a straight-forward sword cultivator. That was fine.

If you don't want to say it, don't say it. At least a straight-forward sword cultivator doesn't tell lies.

Li Xiuchang found that the identity of a straight-forward sword cultivator is really useful!

If you want to scold people, just scold them, and don't even consider the consequences.

Everyone's tolerance for straight-forward sword cultivators +999.

No one will care about a stubborn person.

Zhang Wanzhi was envious and secretly regretted why he didn't learn from Li Xiuchang. It's really cool to be a straight-forward sword cultivator and the effect is unexpectedly good. There is also the image of Motu as a gloomy old man, which he just pretended to be.

Only his image as a young master has no room for development.

He left the Xianchen Sect and even came to the lower world. Isn't it for him to show his saintliness in front of people?

If you come to the lower world and don't show off, isn't it a waste of time?

Zhang Wanzhi decided not to be restrained anymore. He would definitely rush to the next opportunity to show his abilities.

Several old Taoists smiled and said, "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. But we still welcome you to visit our Xianyin Realm."

While speaking, several old Taoists were also observing the expressions of Li Xiuchang and the other two.

Even if Li Xiuchang and the others didn't say anything, the old Taoists could guess that Li Xiuchang and the others were either from other worlds at the same level as the Xianchen Sect, or they were also from the Xianyin Realm.

In addition to the passages guarded by the four major immortal gates, there must be passages to the lower world that have not been discovered by the four major immortal gates.

In particular, some temporary passages that appear by chance cannot be controlled.

Therefore, the four major immortal gates cannot prevent the hidden strongmen in the Xianyin Realm from quietly going to the lower world.

However, from the expressions of Li Xiuchang and the others, the old Taoists did not see any clues.

Li Xiuchang replied, "We have heard of the Xianyin Realm, but we are afraid that we will be besieged by your local strongmen after ascending, so we have never been there."

Several old Taoist priests laughed dumbly. As expected of a straightforward sword cultivator, he spoke directly.

Indeed, those who ascended with unknown origins would be hunted down by the four major immortal sects.

Several old Taoist priests were more certain that Li Xiuchang and his companions came from other worlds on the same level as the Xianyin Realm.

After all, the Zen Heart Realm is vast and connects several third-level worlds, and those third-level worlds lead to different fourth-level worlds.

Nowadays, it is not surprising that the reclining Buddha stone statue attracts strongmen from other fourth-level worlds outside the Xianyin Realm.

"If you want to visit my Xianyin Realm, you can come with me. It just so happens that we are also planning to go back." The old Taoist priest in yellow robe invited.

He was still polite to Li Xiuchang. Although Li Xiuchang only showed his Jindan cultivation, they all knew that he must have hidden his cultivation.

Motu seemed to have only Jindan cultivation, but the momentum he just burst out made them all feel daunted.

Zhang Wanzhi took over the conversation and said, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoists, but we still have things to do, so let's visit again another day."

The old Taoists did not expect Li Xiuchang and the other two to agree. It is very dangerous to rashly ascend to an unfamiliar world, especially a powerful upper world.

The old Taoist in yellow robe took out a token and handed it to Zhang Wanzhi: "This is my token. If you three fellow Taoists come to my Xianyin Realm in the future, you can find me by showing this token."

"Of course." Zhang Wanzhi took the token and said perfunctorily.

The old man in yellow robe also saw that the two sides did not even exchange names. He was just a casual chess piece. It was rare to meet a cultivator from another world on the same level, so he tried to make friends.

The Xianyin Realm has always been eager to learn more about other worlds on the same level because it faces the threat of Xianyin's expansion.

The abbot of the Reclining Buddha Temple on the side saw that the two sides ended the exchange in a friendly manner and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was afraid that the two sides would conflict and fight.

He couldn't afford to offend both sides.

Before, when people from the third world came to the lower world, they could still fight back. Now, people from the fourth world came to the lower world, scaring away the people from the third world, and making the people from the lower world unable to resist.

Watching the old Taoist priests leave, the abbot of the Reclining Buddha Temple hurriedly said to Li Xiuchang and the other two, "I will take you to visit the temple."

Li Xiuchang said, "Let's go directly to the Reclining Buddha statue."

"Okay, please follow me, three donors."

...

A huge Reclining Buddha statue lies across the center of the Reclining Buddha Temple, with its head resting on the green mountains and its feet on the clear water, majestic and imposing.

Standing in front of this Reclining Buddha statue, Li Xiuchang and the others looked as small as ants.

Around the reclining Buddha, there are many spiritual trees, flowers and herbs, many of which Li Xiuchang has never seen before.

The abbot looked at the eyes of the reclining Buddha and introduced: "The reclining Buddha's eyes are open at this time, proving that it is the 'awakening Buddha'. Once the Buddha's eyes are closed, it will fall into a deep sleep when approaching the reclining Buddha."

Zhang Wanzhi and Motu carefully observed and looked at the stone statue of the reclining Buddha, trying to find out the secret of the reclining Buddha.

Li Xiuchang knew his level and did not follow the two brothers to join in the fun. He pulled the abbot of the reclining Buddha temple to introduce him to the various spiritual plants around the reclining Buddha temple.

The abbot did not dare to neglect and introduced them to Li Xiuchang one by one.

"This is Buddha Heart Grass, which can be used as a Buddhist disciple to enter the door and open wisdom..."

"This is the Heart Bodhi, which can be used to assist in the understanding of the Buddhist mind method..."

"This is the Chan Lotus..."

The spiritual plants growing around the reclining Buddha stone statue are all used to assist Buddhist practice.

Perhaps because of this, the cultivators of the Xianyin Realm and those third-level worlds are not very interested in the huge number of spiritual plants here.

Because Buddhist cultivation has been declining as a whole, there are few Buddhist cultivators in all walks of life, and only the Zen Heart Realm is an exception.

They took these spiritual plants used by Buddhist cultivators back, but they were of no use.

At most, they took some samples or seeds and took them back for research.

Li Xiuchang asked directly: "Are there any spiritual plants that can assist in marrow refining?"

"Yes, yes, the Luohan tree in front is it!" the abbot said hurriedly.

Li Xiuchang looked at the tall spiritual tree that was like a pillar. It was straight and thick, without any branches or leaves.

"How to use this Luohan tree?" Li Xiuchang asked in confusion.

This tree did not look like it could be eaten.

The abbot explained: "Use a knife to scrape the bark, and a transparent gelatinous juice will ooze out. Apply it on the body surface, and it will have a significant effect on marrow refining."

Li Xiuchang felt a little familiar, and suddenly thought of a precious medicine used for marrow refining in ancient times that he had read in history books before. The description was consistent with the Luohan tree, but it had become extinct.

I didn't expect that the spiritual plants that have been extinct in Xianyin Realm can still be found in Chanxin Realm.

"If I can find the Arhat Tree, my trip will be worthwhile." Li Xiuchang was happy, and the auxiliary precious medicine for the fourth-level body refining stage was finally found.

But since he was here, Li Xiuchang naturally couldn't just take one Arhat Tree back, so he continued to ask the abbot to introduce him to other spiritual plants.

After a while, Li Xiuchang pointed to a small grass growing close to the reclining Buddha stone statue and asked, "What kind of grass is this?"

Li Xiuchang noticed this grass because its appearance was both ordinary and strange.

It's ordinary because this grass looks the same as the weeds on the roadside.

It's strange because it doesn't grow upwards, all the leaves are leaning to one side and growing close to the ground.

It's like being stepped on.

"Lying grass." said the abbot.

"No, you are a monk, why do you swear so much?"

"I mean, this magical herb is called 'lying grass'."

Li Xiuchang:...

"Did you give it this name randomly, or was it originally called this name?" He asked with disbelief.

The abbot smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Donor, you have misunderstood. This lying grass is extremely rare. I have only seen it here. At that time, I found records about lying grass after searching through ancient books in all the major Buddhist temples in my Zen world."

"Then tell me, what is the origin of this lying grass? What is its function?" Li Xiuchang asked.

"Legend has it that this lying grass only grows in the place where the real Buddha snores. It can be used to refine the 'dream pill'. Taking it can help you comprehend Buddhism in your dreams, and your progress will be rapid. It's a pity that the recipe of the 'dream pill' has been lost."

"You Buddhists also make pills?" Li Xiuchang felt that it sounded more and more fake the more he listened.

"This...I don't know what's going on, anyway, this is what the ancient books say." The abbot smiled bitterly.

Li Xiuchang was silent for a moment. Although he didn't know whether the record of the lying grass was true or false, the spiritual grass growing next to the reclining Buddha statue should not be an ordinary thing.

So he said: "I'll take a sample. Master, you shouldn't have any objection, right?"

"No problem, of course no problem. Isn't one too few? How about taking a few more?"

The abbot felt that Li Xiuchang was too polite from the bottom of his heart. The people from the four major immortal gates of the Xianyin Realm also took a few samples of spiritual plants back for research, but they took at least three or five plants at a time.

Li Xiuchang shook his head and said: "Master Abbot, you may have misunderstood. What I mean is to take one sample of each spiritual plant."

"Ah?"

The abbot looked at Li Xiuchang and doubted Li Xiuchang's identity as a straightforward sword cultivator.

How could there be such an insatiable and straightforward sword cultivator?

The abbot complained: "Donor, many of the spiritual plants here are single seedlings, such as the Arhat tree, which has only one. If you dig it up, how can I explain it to the sect!"

The Reclining Buddha Temple is jointly owned by the eight major Buddhist sects in the Zen Heart Realm, and the abbot is equivalent to the steward appointed by the eight major Buddhist sects.

Li Xiuchang gave in and said: "How about this, for those spiritual plants with few numbers, I will only take the renewable parts, such as the Arhat tree, I only need a bottle of juice, of course, if there are seeds, give me an extra seed."

The abbot was relieved when he heard this, and this condition was acceptable.

Fortunately, there are not many people interested in these spiritual plants for Buddhist practitioners, otherwise the people from the upper realm would do so, and the spiritual plants in the Reclining Buddha Temple would not be enough.

At the same time, the abbot became more and more suspicious of Li Xiuchang's identity as a straightforward sword cultivator. It seems that straightforward sword cultivators will not bargain.

Li Xiuchang was embarrassed to trouble these Buddhist practitioners, so he personally picked all the spiritual plants and herbs he needed and put them into the storage bag.

Among them, what he valued most was of course the juice of the Arhat tree, which was the key to his rapid clearance of the fourth level of body refining.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Mo, have you found anything?"

After finishing his own work, Li Xiuchang found Zhang Wanzhi and Mo Tu who were still studying the reclining Buddha statue.

Zhang Wanzhi nodded and said, "I found that there is a hidden space inside the head of the Buddha statue, and I am trying to find a way to enter it."

Mo Tu said faintly, "I found it."

"Small-minded, still care about this? Now you have to rely on me to open the entrance?" Zhang Wanzhi glared.

Zhang Wanzhi, who has superb refining skills, is very familiar with various mechanisms, and finding the entrance is exactly what he is professionally familiar with.

Zhang Wanzhi studied it for a while and said, "This is not a pure mechanism. It involves formations, space, dreams... It's quite complicated. If Chen Wugui helps me here, it should be much easier."

Li Xiuchang asked, "Can we just smash the Buddha's head?"

"It's useless. You can't find the space even if you smash it."

Motu sneered, "If it doesn't work, give up as soon as possible. Don't waste time."

"How can a mere Buddha statue defeat me?"

Although he said so, Li Xiuchang saw a serious look on Zhang Wanzhi's face that he had never seen before.

Obviously, the origin of this Buddha statue is not simple. The fact that it can make Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi feel exhausted is enough to explain the problem.

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Zhang Wanzhi is still fiddling with the head of the Buddha statue, but he has not been able to open the entrance.

Li Xiuchang has been meditating on the side to restore his consciousness these days.

He injected his consciousness into the second diamond pill, meditated to recover, and then injected it again to speed up the condensation of the soul in the second diamond pill.

Seeing that Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi seemed to be in trouble, Li Xiuchang ended his meditation and prepared to help Senior Brother Zhang.

He knew that people's potential needs to be stimulated.

Li Xiuchang called the abbot of the Reclining Buddha Temple and whispered a few words to him. The abbot's eyes widened immediately.

It was the first time he heard that there was a space inside the Buddha's head, and the one who said this was a strong man from the upper class, which was highly credible.

A moment later, Zhang Wanzhi found that a large number of Buddhist practitioners gathered near the Buddha's head. At a glance, all of them were bald heads.

"Xiuchang, what's going on?" Zhang Wanzhi asked.

"Brother, they are all here to see how you open the entrance!"

"Really?" Zhang Wanzhi couldn't help but curl up his lips.

"There are more Buddhist practitioners on the way." Li Xiuchang smiled.

Xiuchang understands me... Zhang Wanzhi was excited, as if he had taken phoenix blood, and he was full of energy.

In just two or three days, as the abbot of the Reclining Buddha Temple spread the news, more and more Buddhist practitioners from the eight major Buddhist sects gathered in the Reclining Buddha Temple.

The eight old abbots of the eight major Buddhist sects came with a large group of disciples to visit Zhang Wanzhi and the other two, and then watched Zhang Wanzhi break the internal space of the Buddha's head.

In fact, they were not sure whether what Zhang Wanzhi said was true or false, and they didn't know whether such a space existed.

However, after feeling the little strength of Motu and Zhang Wanzhi, they all chose to believe it.

You have a high level of cultivation, you are strong, and you are right!

More and more Buddhists gathered, filling the entire Reclining Buddha Temple, making the Reclining Buddha Temple a sea of ​​bald heads.

Zhang Wanzhi scanned the spectacular scene of the crowds of people around him, and his heart surged.

Xiu Chang created such a big stage for him, such a good opportunity to show his saintliness in front of people, he must grasp it no matter what!

In short, he was determined to pretend to be this bully!

After many years, Zhang Wanzhi felt what "pressure" was again.

Tens of thousands of onlookers gave him tremendous motivation.

"Fight!"

Zhang Wanzhi was inspired to have potential.

A few days later, a golden light shot out from the center of the eyebrows of the reclining Buddha statue, illuminating the entire Zen world!
