Chapter 344 Connection
After suppressing Jiang Yan and capturing Eunuch Li alive, Lu Yi returned to Jinshan Temple.
In the cave behind the mountain, Lu Yi began to use secret methods to refine Eunuch Li into a Taoist soldier. At the same time, he assisted Qingyou and the other two girls to continue tempering the Qinglin Swords for them and enhance the power of the flying swords.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Lu Yi returned to Jinshan Temple, several men in gorgeous clothes knocked on the gate of Jinshan Temple. At the invitation of a monk called Tiger God, they worshipped Buddha and burned incense all the way from the main hall.
These men were extremely generous. They offered huge amounts of incense money to every major hall and every side hall.
One million cloud coins for a main hall, one hundred thousand cloud coins for a side hall. In particular, the man in the lead wrote a wish on the pilgrims' booklet for one hundred thousand sets of monk's robes, monk's boots, etc., and one million kilograms of incense oil for the ever-burning lamps in front of the Buddha.
Seeing these men doing this, Tiger Master, who was leading the way, tilted his head and whistled loudly.
Immediately, more than a dozen Tiger Lords led hundreds of monks and surrounded them with whistles. These monks, who were over ten feet tall, carried various heavy weapons and surrounded the "pilgrims" who were more than two heads shorter than themselves.
The leading man raised his hands in surprise: "Master Zhike, we are worshipping Buddha devoutly, why..."
The Tiger Master, who had just been smiling and being friendly to the men, laughed strangely, stretched out two fingers, and pointed fiercely at his own eyes: "When your uncle was still in the underworld, he had a nickname called 'Ghost Eye Tiger'... Your Tiger Master doesn't have any other abilities, except for a pair of eyes, which are particularly good at judging people."
"You are not serious pilgrims."
Ghost Eye Tiger confidently said to the men with twisted faces, "Of course, there weren't many serious pilgrims in Qingyun Temple before... What I mean is, you guys didn't come to our Jinshan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha!"
"You smell like thieves!"
The ghost-eyed tiger monster laughed and said, "Damn it, are you using your martial arts skills on the Tiger Lords of our Hundred Tiger Hall? In broad daylight, you openly come to our door to step on the plates and guard the door. Are you going to break into our jars and take our heads off in the middle of the night?"
Patting his bald head vigorously, Ghost Eye Tiger smiled at the dozen or so old brothers from the Hundred Tigers Hall around him and said, "Brothers, look, look, these little lambs are good meat that came to our doorstep!"
A group of Tiger Lords laughed in unison, while the Taoist monks clenched their weapons with expressionless faces. Wisps of golden flames rose from their bodies and condensed into Vajra images behind them.
The expressions of the men became more... more mysterious.
The leading man looked at Ghost Eye Tiger and asked cautiously, "Everyone... you... are not proper... monks?"
A fierce-looking Tiger Lord with seven or eight scars on his face rolled his eyes and slapped the leading man on the shoulder: "Nonsense, what are you talking about? We, ahem, are real monks!"
"Look at our big bald heads. Who dares to say we are not decent monks?"
"Of course, we are legitimate monks, and you are not legitimate pilgrims... Hehe... Come on, stop talking nonsense, brothers, drag him to the back, don't give me face, beat him to death, and see which group of blind fellows are interested in our small foundation of Jinshan Temple?"
A group of extremely ferocious, tall and strong tigers laughed in unison, rubbing their hands together and ready to take action.
The leading man's expression became more and more strange. He hurriedly took out a thumb-sized jade seal from his sleeve and whispered, "Masters, you are serious monks, but we are also serious people... I am Yan Feixue, the deputy director of the Hanlu Division of the Xuan Dynasty. I have come here specially to ask to see the National Master Fahai."
"I have come all the way from Xuan Dynasty with great difficulty. The money for the incense offering just now only represents a small token of our Xuan Dynasty's appreciation."
The Ghost Eye Tiger group was dumbfounded.
"Hyunchao? Hanlusi?"
Yan Feixue hurriedly smiled and said, "As the name suggests, cold dew moistens silently and hurts people invisibly. Just like the cold air of cold dew, it moistens everything and penetrates the bone marrow without any sound or color... This is my Xuan Dynasty, a special agency responsible for gathering intelligence from abroad, planting secret spies, inciting enemy officials to defect, and even assassinating enemy dignitaries."
"And Hyunjo..."
Yan Feixue hurriedly explained the feud between the Xuan Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty, and pointed out in a few words that the Xuan Dynasty was more powerful than the Yan Dynasty and had tighter control over its vassal states. Over the years, the two sides had been fighting openly and secretly, and the Xuan Dynasty had always taken advantage.
A quarter of an hour later, in the main hall at the back of the Vajra Temple, Lu Yi met Yan Feixue and his party.
As soon as they met, Yan Feixue was very honest. She took out a total of 360 jade boxes of various sizes from her storage ring, arranged them neatly in front of Lu Yi, and then opened the box one by one, revealing the treasures inside.
What about the ten thousand year old spiritual ginseng that is almost a spirit, what about the essence pearl that is nurtured in the body of a hundred thousand year old centipede, what about the Changchun wood heart that is conceived in the body of a million year old iron tree...
There are three hundred and sixty treasures, all of which are top-quality treasures that ordinary people have never seen or heard of.
What made Lu Yi change color in particular was that in the last jade box, there was a row of thirty-six dark gold-colored jade balls the size of eggs. Inside, there was a faint shadow of a sitting Buddha, and on the surface, there were countless lotus flowers, swastika seals, and rolling Buddhist relics.
There are thirty-six Buddhist relics, and the aura of each one is as unfathomable as Guixu, filled with the majestic and pure Buddhist power.
Lu Yi mainly cultivates the Infinite Return to the Abyss Body, and also cultivates the Five Vajra Dharmas. He also has infinite mysteries derived from the Three-Eyed Divine Man Diagram. He is only at the realm of Golden Lotus Opening, but his magical powers are more than ten times stronger than that of a normal Neng Dao Fruit master.
However, the Buddha power contained in each of these thirty-six Buddhist relics is a hundred times more powerful than all of Lu Yi’s current cultivation!
It is definitely a treasure left behind by Zhao Xukong or even more powerful Buddhist monks.
"this!"
Lu Yi stared at the thirty-six Buddhist relics intently. He felt an extremely familiar aura from these relics.
Shaking his head and praising, Lu Yi smiled and said, "Your master is really polite... Well, since it is a token of your heart, and you have delivered it to my door, I would be embarrassed not to accept it, right?"
With a wave of his sleeves, all three hundred and sixty jade boxes disappeared. Lu Yi looked at Yan Feixue with a smile and said, "Well, I have seen your kindness. It is indeed a generous gesture... I am offering my courtesy for no reason. You must be asking for something. So, let's talk about it?"
Lu Yi pointed at a cushion beside him, and Yan Feixue sat down on it quietly.
His eyes moved slightly, and he quickly looked at Lu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion and was almost as tall as a normal person. He bowed to Lu Yu very respectfully and said, "Master, please understand. I am here on behalf of His Majesty."
Lu Yi raised his eyes and looked at Yan Feixue.
After refining Jiang Yuan into a Taoist soldier and reading Jiang Yuan's memories, Lu Yi also gained a very solid understanding of the national conditions of the countries surrounding Qingyun Kingdom.
After all, Jiang Yan, who was in charge of Yan Dynasty's external intelligence work, was Jiang Yuan's biological father. If Jiang Yan got any confidential information, Jiang Yuan would definitely know it immediately. So Yan Feixue's words surprised Lu Yi.
"Nine months ago, the Emperor of the Xuan Dynasty was said to have died suddenly due to infatuation?" Lu Yi asked with a smile, "Your family has more than a hundred princes, and they are making a lot of noise. How come... a new emperor has been elected?"
Yan Feixue smiled reservedly, "It is true that the late emperor was possessed by a demon... The late emperor was always arrogant and wanted to cultivate a great magical power that no one in the royal family of this dynasty had cultivated for thousands of years. He accidentally got his soul frozen and shattered, and died."
"It is also true that the princes are fighting for the throne."
"But after all, the court has the royal ancestors in charge, so how chaotic can it be? Eight months ago, the crown prince of this dynasty secretly succeeded to the throne and took control of the power... All the chaos is for Yan Dynasty to see."
Yan Feixue smiled and said, "Your Majesty and the officials in the court want to take this opportunity to teach Yan Chao a lesson. After all, the new emperor has to make some contributions when he ascends the throne, right?"
Lu Yi nodded: "In that case, you have been very successful. Jiang Yuan and the others thought you were really making a big fuss."
Yan Feixue smiled brightly: "It's all because of your majesty's wisdom and the gentlemen's intelligence, so... hehe."
Lu Yu looked at Yan Feixue quietly. His smile just appeared, but he immediately stopped. He looked at Lu Yu cautiously and said softly, "So, in the past few months, our Hanlu Division's infiltration of the vassal states in the northern border of Yan Dynasty has increased more than ten times compared to before. That's why we received the news as soon as the incident in Xiyun City happened."
Yan Feixue drooped her eyelids and said faintly, "I followed His Majesty's order and hurried all the way. I entered Xiyun City just as Jiang Yan and others did... I happened to see you, Master, display your divine power, haha!"
Yan Feixue smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line: "The Firefly Division controlled by Jiang Yan is the mortal enemy of my Cold Dew Division. I didn't expect that he would be defeated so easily by you... "
Lu Yi waved his hand and said calmly, "I am just a Jiang Yan. Tell me, your emperor has sent so many good things to you. What does he want me to do? Could it be that he also wants to make me a national teacher?"
Before Yan Feixue could speak, Lu Yi had already touched his big bald head and said with a smile: "It's not impossible, haha!"
Yan Feixue was stunned for a moment. Looking at Lu Yi who was laughing loudly, he said hurriedly : "Well, Master, although His Majesty of our dynasty has this idea, it is not something that can be done at this juncture."
Lu Yi squinted his eyes at Yan Feixue: "Oh? What does this mean?"
Yan Feixue lowered her voice and spoke softly.
Lu Yi nodded continuously, then smiled and pointed at Yan Feixue: "Haha, I see... But, as the saying goes, an emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers... If I take action here, tut tut!"
Yan Feixue hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Master, rest assured. As long as you ask for anything, our dynasty will definitely provide it in full."
Lu Yi nodded, took out a relic that Yan Feixue had sent him before, and gently rubbed it in his palm: "Well, tell me about the origin of these relics? If there are more, the more the better!"
Lu Yi felt more and more the familiar aura from this relic.
The aura is exactly the same as the inherited martial arts technique of the Great Brahma Pure World Sect that Ah Hu obtained!
The Great Brahma Pure World Sect was one of the only two "supreme" sects in the ancient times of the Supreme Heaven.
Apart from the Tai Shang Bei Ming Xian Sect, there is also the Da Brahma Pure World Sect.
