Seeing this, Chan Master Hai Shi wanted to take Chan'er down.
"Little Master Chan'er, please wait a moment, I have something I want to ask." Shen Luo who had been standing by the side without speaking suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter with the benefactor?" Chan'er stopped in his tracks.
"Since Little Master Chan'er is the real reincarnation of Jin Chan, what impression does Little Master have of why Jin Chanzi was reincarnated?" Shen Luo asked.
When the others heard the words, they recalled the incident and looked at Chan'er together.
"This... Although the little monk became the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, I really don't have any memory of Jin Chanzi's past. Buddha beads, do you know?" Chan'er scratched his head and looked at the Buddha beads in his hand.
"Your past life is just chanting scriptures, accepting apprentices, and being constantly captured by various monsters. As for why Jin Chanzi was reincarnated, I don't know. I only know that when he woke up, he suddenly reincarnated." Buddha Bead hummed and said.
"Then why are you stained with devil's blood?" Shen Luo looked at the Buddha beads and asked.
When he raised this question, he didn't actually want to ask Chan'er. Chan'er was just an introduction. What he really wanted to ask was this string of Buddhist beads.
"Didn't you say that, I don't know anything. When I woke up, Jin Chanzi had already been reincarnated, and my body was also stained with demon blood. I have no clue about the cause and effect of this incident." All plans were destroyed by Shen Luo, he was very hostile to Shen Luo, and said coldly.
"Then when did that demon wind come to your Excellency?" Shen Luo asked indifferently, ignoring the indifference of the Buddhist bead spirit.
"It was just a few years ago. At that time, the demonic blood in my body was very restless. The demon wind came to me and said that there was a way to help me suppress the demonic blood and give me great power. I agreed to him in a moment of fascination. But I didn't use this power to do anything bad, this time I sent you to Heifengao, and Yaofeng forced me to arrange it." The Buddha Bead Spirit said in a low voice.
"Then the devil's blood in your body is still there?" Shen Luo didn't care about the matter of Heifengao any more, and asked about the situation of the devil's blood.
"Naturally, but after the suppression of Chan'er's Subduing Demon Sutra just now, it has been eased a lot." Buddha Bead said.
Seeing this, Shen Luo didn't say anything, and retreated.
Seeing this, Chan Master Hai Shi took Chan'er down, and at the same time arranged a place for the three of Shen Luo to rest.
Sitting cross-legged in a meditation room, Shen Luo silently practiced exercises to restore his mana, and at the same time took out the big purple bead with his hands.
There is a layer of golden light flashing on the big purple bead, which is the seal of the true immortal that was placed when summoning the dream realm. Through the golden light, one can see the purple clouds rolling inside the bead, and it has not drifted away with the bead breaking, obviously the spirituality has not been lost.
"It's all right after suffering such a serious injury. It seems that this big purple bead is a special magic treasure." He thought to himself.
After pondering for a while, he held the bead in his hand, and started the Nine-Nine-Talk Treasure Jue, and the blue light quickly sank into it.
Since he was going to fight against the demons next, he couldn't understand all about the demonic energy. Although it was a bit risky, Shen Luo decided to try to refine this thing.
However, he was also fully prepared and summoned the phantom of the heavenly book in the jade pillow. If there was any problem with the bead, he would immediately put it into the space of the heavenly book.
However, to Shen Luo's surprise, the purple bead immediately echoed the Jiujiu Tongbaojue, and the bead immediately became several times larger and turned into a giant bead about Zhang Xu, with a brilliant purple glow blooming on it, Looks like a great deal.
It's just that the huge crack stretches across it, which is a bit of an eyesore.
There was a gleam of joy on Shen Luo's face, and he immediately used his spiritual sense to sense the situation inside the treasure, but the purple clouds inside the bead turned out to be unfathomable, as if there was a huge space contained there, and his spiritual sense could not probe to the bottom.
Moreover, the restraint inside the bead is also very strange, completely different from the ordinary magic weapon. Although the Nine-Nine-Tong Bao Jue can refine it, it is impossible to deduce what kind of supernatural power this thing possesses from the restraint.
According to the situation of the previous battle, this big purple bead seems to have the effect of stabilizing the space.
"Forget it, let's study it slowly later. This bead can withstand the ape king's stick technique performed by the real immortal. It must be extremely strong and can be used as a shield." Shen Luo waved the big purple bead away, and then slowly sacrificed it. , Concentrate on restoring mana.
Half a day passed in a blink of an eye, he suddenly opened his eyes, his body was rippling with blue light, his mana was fully restored, he got up and walked outside, and soon came to the gate of Jinshan Temple.
Chapter 0655 Return to Chang'an
At this time, Lu Huaming and Gu Hualing had also arrived at the gate of Jinshan Temple. The two seemed to hit it off and were chatting in low voices.
Seeing Shen Luo approaching, Gu Hualing immediately stopped talking and walked aside.
"What are the two fellow daoists whispering?" A hint of ridicule flashed across Shen Luo's face.
Gu Hualing's pretty face blushed slightly, and she glared at Shen Luo.
"Cough! Where did you whisper something? I was talking to Fellow Daoist Gu about the precautions when going to Chang'an. Brother Shen, how is your body recovering?" Lu Huaming coughed in embarrassment, and changed the topic.
"It's basically fine. After returning to Chang'an, he will be fine after a few days of retreat and recuperation." Shen Luo didn't continue to tease the two of them, and said.
While the three were chatting, Chan Master Hai Shi, Chan Er, and Elder Zhe Shi walked out of Jinshan Temple.
Chan'er walked in the front, completely changed his appearance. He was wearing a red cassock, a five-Buddha crown, and a golden tin staff in his hand. It was completely different from the shabby gray robe before.
"I kept the three benefactors waiting for a long time." Chan'er saluted with one hand.
"Master Chan'er looks like a reincarnated golden cicada." Lu Huaming returned the salute and said with a smile.
"Although the little monk is not used to wearing this outfit, it's just that the Buddhist beads said that since he has become the reincarnation of the golden cicada, he should pay attention to his appearance. I think it makes sense, so I have to dress like this." Chan'er said solemnly.
"As the saying goes, Buddha relies on gold clothes, and you are more luxurious if you don't clean it up yourself. Who would believe you? Jin Chanzi also had a set of beautiful cassocks and nine-ringed tin rods given by Guanyin Bodhisattva back then, which are much more luxurious than yours. "Buddhist beads said.
"Three benefactors, Chan'er has almost never been out of the house. This time I am going to Chang'an. I will let Junior Brother Zhe Shi accompany me, and I will ask you to take care of me along the way." Zen Master Hai Shi stepped forward and said.
"Don't worry, master host, we will definitely protect the safety of Master Chan'er." Lu Huaming assured, patting his chest.
He then waved his hand and sacrificed a flying boat, several people boarded the boat, and the flying boat soared into the sky, turning into a white light and heading towards Chang'an City.
……
Noon of the second day.
In the city of Chang'an, a horse-drawn carriage drove leisurely towards the Tang government.
On the left shaft of the carriage, Lu Huaming was wearing a bamboo hat and holding a bamboo whip in his hand. He was not in a hurry to drive the carriage, just driving slowly through the streets.
Inside the car, Shen Luo and Gu Hualing sat opposite each other, one closed his eyes and rested his mind, and the other lowered his head thinking about something.
In the middle of the carriage, there are two monks sitting cross-legged, one of them is a tall middle-aged monk with a sick face, he is the Elder Shi, the elder of Jinshan Temple, and the other, a young novice in a moon-white monk robe, is Chan'er .
The two of them returned to Chang'an by flying boat with Lu Huaming, and they were invited to represent Jinshan Temple to participate in the Water and Land Ceremony.
At this moment, Chan'er was holding the string of purple wood beads in his hand, moving his fingers slowly, although he was reciting scriptures, he still seemed a little restless.
"Chan'er, you can meditate only when you have a calm mind. If your mind is not stable, even chanting scriptures will not benefit your practice." Elder Zhe Shi noticed his strangeness and said.
"Elder Zhe Shi, although I have been in the temple for a long time, I have never participated in the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. It is inevitable that I feel a little apprehensive, fearing that I will not be able to cross people, nor can I cross ghosts." Hearing this, Chan'er stopped chanting, and the Buddhist beads in his hand also disappeared. Putting it down slowly, he said.
Although he is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, he has an exquisite heart since he was a child, and he can learn the Dharma without a teacher, but after all, he is still young and has been suppressed by the "Jiang Liu", so his mind is inevitably too restrained.
"I don't cross people, the Dharma crosses itself. Since you have my Buddha Mahayana Dharma in your heart, why worry about not being able to cross people and ghosts?" Elder Zhe Shi said with a kind smile on his face.
"Disciple understands." Hearing this, Chan'er's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands up.
Half an hour later, the chariots and horses stopped outside the official residence.
When a group of people entered the government office, Lu Huaming first took Gu Hualing to meet Cheng Yaojin, while Shen Luo took Chan'er and Zen Master Zhe Shi to Chongxuan Hall, where the Tang Dynasty was in charge of religious affairs. organization.
Although sects like Huasheng Temple have a transcendent status in the practice world, some affairs involving mortals are also subject to the supervision of the Tang government, but the binding force is strong or weak.
Chongxuan Hall is located in the northwest corner of the Tang Mansion. Shen Luo had never been there before, and he asked for directions from everyone along the way, so he led the two of them through the corridors and courtyards, and arrived here.
Compared with the busy scenes at the various entrances of the Tang government, the Chongxuan Hall is much quieter. There are not even soldiers stationed outside the courtyard where the entrance is located. There are only two stone lions squatting in front of the courtyard gate.
Before entering the entrance courtyard, Shen Luo heard the sound of chime knocking, which was ethereal and distant, which made people feel happy.
Chan'er and Elder Zhe Shi clasped their hands together and recited the Buddha's name at the same time.
After several people entered through the courtyard gate, they saw three monks in brocade cassocks and a middle-aged man in Tang Dynasty official uniform standing under a bodhi tree.
As soon as the crowd came in, the middle-aged official greeted them first, and after looking around a few people, his eyes fell on Chan'er, saluted everyone, and said:
"These two are Chan Master Jiang Liu and Zen Master Zhe Shi from Jinshan Temple, right?"
"Not bad." Shen Luo said.
"Amitabha." Chan'er and Zhe Shi Chan Master hurriedly recited the Buddha's name and saluted.
Several monks under the bodhi tree heard the words here, and they all came over one after another, and bowed to Shen Luo and the other three.
"I have heard the name of Master Jiangliu for a long time, and I just saw it today. It is really very intelligent. It is worthy of being the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a disciple of the Buddha. With the light of Buddha, he has great cultivation and great merit. Fortunately, fortunately, ” said an old monk with white eyebrows who was the leader, with a somewhat excited expression.
"The Zen master is absurd, the young monk is just a novice in Jinshan Temple, and his practice is short, how can he have any merits?" Chan'er heard the words, his ears turned red, and he was a little embarrassed.
"This is..." Shen Luo asked.
"This is Zen Master Baoshu from Baoxiang Temple in Gyeonggi Province. Those two are also great masters in the temple. They are Zen Master Lude and Zen Master Luchen. According to the arrangement by the monks of the Xiangsi Temple, they will join other eminent monks of the temple to cast spells to cross Chang'an City to the underworld." The official of Chongxuan Hall quickly introduced.
"I've seen several Zen masters." Hearing this, Chan'er clasped his hands together and saluted.
Elder Shen Luo and Zhe Shi also saluted.
After everyone talked, Shen Luo completed the task of escorting and leading the way, and planned to leave.
"Everyone, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't stay here." Shen Luo said hello to Chan'er, and then said to everyone.
"It's hard work for Master Shen to escort you all the way." Elder Zhe Shi thanked him with his palms up.
Chan'er smiled at him, folded his hands together, bowed his head and saluted.
Chapter 0656
Coming out of Chongxuan Hall, Shen Luo rushed straight to the government office to join Lu Huaming and the two, and he wanted to tell Cheng Yaojin face to face about some things.
After passing through the two courtyards, Shen Luo suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the front, and was greatly surprised in his heart.
Anyone else dare to mess around in a place like this?
Just when he thought that someone was discussing Taoism, he saw a figure flying out from the front yard, and it was about to hit the front of the back yard.
He hastily raised his hand and waved it, condensed into a wave of water and rescued the man. When he took a closer look, he found that the person who was knocked out was Gu Hualing.
"Bold maniac, this is the government of the Tang Dynasty, not a place where you can run wild." At this time, Lu Huaming's angry shout came from the front yard, and there was already a bit of anger in his voice.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, and when he was about to go in to help, he heard a somewhat familiar voice:
"When did the Tang government become a sanctuary for evildoers? Do you know what that enchantress has done? Just pretend to be a bully here, and get out of here quickly, don't delay my extermination of the demon."
"This voice..." Shen Luo frowned, and his eyes lit up slightly.
At this moment, there was another sound of spell collision coming from inside. It was obvious that Lu Huaming had clashed with that person and had already fought together.
Shen Luo quickly dodged in, and saw two people hanging in mid-air, each casting a spell, shooting two dazzling balls of light, which collided fiercely.
His eyes swept over Lu Huaming and landed on the person opposite, but he saw that he was wearing a snow-white robe, tall and handsome, and he was exactly Bai Xiaotian whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, his figure flashed, and he came directly below the two of them, raised his hand and waved towards the sky, a ball of blue water vapor immediately condensed into the sky, and crashed into the two balls of dazzling light.
"Bang" sound!
The blue water vapor hit the two balls of light, forcibly changing the direction of their impact, causing them to rush straight towards the sky, where they exploded with a bang, and the sound shook the entire government.
The two people in the sky looked down at the same time, and found that it was Shen Luo who interrupted their competition, they were both slightly startled.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Xiaotian's figure suddenly flew down from the sky, looked around Shen Luo with surprise in his eyes, stepped forward as if he couldn't believe it, and tentatively patted him on the shoulder .
"Shen Luo, it's really you!" He exclaimed in surprise as the pimples between his brows relaxed instantly.
"Who else can it be if it's not me, Brother Bai, long time no see." Shen Luo said with a smile on his face.
"A letter from my family said that you had returned home, and there was no news after that. I was worried that something happened to you, but I didn't expect you to come to the capital. Is there an out-of-body period?" Halfway through speaking, Bai Xiaotian suddenly remembered the scene just now, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"In the early stage of OBE, it's not as good as your state in the middle stage of OBE." Shen Luo laughed.
"I arrived at Huasheng Temple, but I haven't slackened in my cultivation all day. But you, did you also join some great sect, or met some hidden fairy master? How did you change so much?" Bai Xiaotian asked like a cannonball.
Shen Luo smiled, but shook his head without saying anything.
Lu Huaming on the side looked dazed.
"Shen Luo, who do you think she is?" At this moment, Bai Xiaotian's complexion suddenly sank again, he raised his hand and pointed behind Shen Luo, and said.
Shen Luo didn't need to look back, he also knew that it was Gu Hualing who came back.
Before he could speak, a strong fluctuation of mana surged from Bai Xiaotian's body, and he made a gesture to move forward again.
On the other side, Lu Huaming sensed something was wrong, and in a flash, he was already in front of Gu Hualing.
Shen Luo grabbed Bai Xiaotian's arm.
"Shen Luo, you..." When Bai Xiaotian saw this, a look of puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
"Xiaotian, there are some things that I have to tell you first, and then you can decide what to do." Shen Luo shook his head.
After all, he told Bai Xiaotian all about the black phoenix demon and the mysterious organization.
"Even so, she can't escape the guilt." After Bai Xiaotian finished listening quietly, she still said.
"Yes, but now is not the time to kill her. If we want to find clues about the organization behind her, we must temporarily suppress the anger of revenge." Shen Luo pressed Bai Xiaotian's shoulder and said through voice transmission.
"Forget it, since you said so, let her go first." Bai Xiaotian turned his head and glanced at Gu Hualing, thinking that when he made a move earlier, the other party didn't seem to fight back, so he sighed secretly.
Lu Huaming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the murderous aura on his body, and asked Shen Luo via voice transmission:
