Chapter 137

The Wonder of Wugou

Except for the Cunxin Temple, this was Ruan Ci's first time coming to a Buddhist sect, so she couldn't help but add a bit of curiosity. Sure enough, she saw that inside the Wugou Sect, unlike all Sheng Sects and Mao Sects, there were no common immortal scenes like floating mountains and waterfalls. Behind the mountain-protecting array was a solid big mountain, with a winding path vaguely leading into the mountain. With the eyesight of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she could naturally see many pavilions and towers on the mountainside. I think that is where the Wugou Sect mountain gate is located.

Seeing that the Wugou Sect was so simple and returned to the truth, Ruan Ci didn't dare to look down on it in her heart, and thought that the mountain road was a restriction to test everyone's Dao heart, and was planning to walk there. Unexpectedly, those few guests took out a few bay leaves and invited everyone to ride them, slowly heading up the mountain. She couldn't help but be very curious in her heart, and Ruan Rong also pulled her sleeve, looked with beautiful eyes, and gave her a wink. It seems that she was also very curious, but because of her status as a sword envoy, it was not good to ask actively.

Ruan Ci didn't have such a heavy burden as Ruan Rong, so she smiled and asked the guest, "Senior Brother, we can fly back and forth. Who is this mountain road for?"

The position of a guest, although it seems trivial, is not easy to do well without considerable status and cultivation. The guests of the Sheng Sect are also errands, mostly rotated by outstanding disciples. This guest's dharma name is Seng Yu, and his cultivation is not weak. Compared with Qi Yueying, he is also a Golden Core early-stage cultivation. Hearing this, he smiled, "The benefactor doesn't know. Our Buddhist temple mountain gates are mostly like this. The Buddhist gate is widely opened to save those who can be saved in the world. As long as you have enough perseverance and can reach the foot of the Wugou Sect mountain gate, you won't be made to miss the opportunity to transcend because this mountain is difficult to cross. Therefore, the Buddhist treasure mountain is a place that can be reached by both feet."

These words have great compassion. Ruan Rong also had a little movement, and Ruan Ci gave a long 'Oh', her eyes turned, but she didn't speak, thinking, "It sounds good, but the outside of the mountain is so dangerous, mortals can't cross the miasma at all. This is just guaranteeing the mortal kingdom under the jurisdiction of the Wugou Sect. Moreover, even if the mountain gate is in the sky, what does it matter? From the mortal kingdom to before the array, it must also take a lot of effort. Without the help of monks, it is impossible to do it at all. If you have already helped once, how can you not help him to before the mountain gate. It's just pretending to be good, and it doesn't delay anything compared to our Shangqing Sect."

She was born like this. She found it hard to believe the good words of others, and had to find flaws in her heart and secretly refute them. However, she naturally didn't show it on her face, and asked, "But if all the monks live in one mountain and don't set up space spells, how can they accommodate so many monks?"

Seng Yu answered patiently one by one, and Ruan Rong found a chance to speak, scolding lightly, "Alright, Miss Ci, talk less."

She was just doing it for Seng Yu to see. In fact, she was also listening with interest. If it weren't for the mountain gate being in sight, I'm afraid she wouldn't be willing to interrupt. Ruan Ci also knew it well, and took advantage of the situation to step down, apologized to Seng Yu with a smile, and said 'disturbed'. Seng Yu smiled, "No harm, no harm. Living in the mountain is leisurely, and chatting with the benefactor for a while doesn't feel disturbed."

He also said, "This time the Han Shui spiritual flower is about to bloom, and many relatives and friends have come from afar to gather. It is quite lively in the temple. Now that the Shangqing high disciples have arrived, it adds more color, which is a rare grand event for this temple."

Ruan Ci's heart moved, and she asked with a smile, "What other high people have arrived? We also happen to know them."

The Han Shui Ze trip is not as dangerous as the Heng Ze Heaven. Seng Yu didn't taboo about introducing everyone to know each other, just saying, "Now the guests are afraid that they are in the market. Later, the little monk can also lead everyone there."

It turned out that the market of the Wugou Sect was opened at the foot of the mountain gate, which also surprised Ruan Ci very much. However, returning Seng Xiu was a serious matter, so she put it aside for the time being. Everyone had already flown to the mountain gate at this time, turned to walking. This Wugou Sect was really just an ordinary big temple, and there was an incense burner at the door, with a few remnant incense sticks inserted loosely. Ruan Ci couldn't help but say, "Are there really incense guests coming to offer incense?"

Seng Yu smiled, "It was the Senior Brothers of the Wuyou Temple who came to hang their orders a few days ago. We debated scriptures here and left some traces. However, if a benefactor comes and wants to offer incense, that is naturally possible."

Ruan Ci's heart moved, and she only acted as if nothing happened. Ruan Rong opened her mouth, "I have a clan brother who was taken into the Wugou Temple in South Zhuzhou. If there is no accident, he should have formed a Foundation Establishment. I don't know if the little Bodhisattva has seen a monk surnamed Ruan?"

Seng Yu shook his head, "After entering the Buddhist gate, the past is put down, and from then on, only the dharma name is used. However, the Senior Brothers of the Wuyou Temple have not left yet, and have been debating the law with the Taiwei Sect and the Liuming Hall for days. Later, the little monk will ask for the honored envoy."

Ruan Rong only said that she was a disciple of the Ruan lineage under the Shangqing Sect, and nothing else was told. As for Ruan Ci, she only said that she came back from the Heng Ze Heaven. Seng Yu knew the identities of the two very well. It can be seen that the Wugou Sect seems to be simple and returned to the truth and focused on cultivation, but what should be known is not ambiguous at all. Ruan Ci only felt that this place was not as pure as the Cunxin Temple, so her interest decreased a lot, so she didn't go to the main hall to worship, bypassed the treasure hall, and went to the monk's room on both wings. Seng Yu brought her to a monk's room and knocked on the door, "Elder, the Shangqing disciple has brought Seng Xiu back."

The monk's room door creaked and was pulled open. An old monk stood behind the door and paid respects to everyone with folded hands. Ruan Ci was startled, and before she could think about it, she hurriedly returned the salute and called him Luo Han. She had seen many great cultivators, and some were very without airs, but this was indeed the first time she had seen such a great cultivator who even opened the door himself.

The old monk looked at her for a while, stepped aside, and revealed a middle-aged monk on the meditation bed in the room. Seng Yu bowed and called Elder, and Ruan Rong couldn't help but let out a light laugh behind Ruan Ci, and also stepped forward to pay respects. The middle-aged monk stepped off the meditation bed and returned the salute one by one, without any airs of a great cultivator. Everyone felt flattered. However, the meditation room was very small, so everyone didn't enter, but was taken by Seng Yu to sit in another place.

Ruan Ci rarely made a fool of herself. If she hadn't already formed a Foundation Establishment and could completely control her body, she would have burned her face red. She didn't know why she made such a mistake, so she couldn't help but look at the old monk a few more times. She only felt that the old monk's cultivation was indeed above her, but the spiritual pressure was not like an Luo Han high-level cultivator, so she had to treat it as her own accidental carelessness, and let it go. She took out the human bag and sent it to the meditation bed, apologizing, "Because it is related to the dharma body of Junior Brother Seng Xiu, I dare not entrust it to others easily. Let Luo Han Fa Yun wait for a long time. After leaving the Heng Ze Heaven, it took more than thirty years to have a suitable opportunity to go to the Wugou Sect."

Monk Fa Yun stroked the human bag and whispered a Buddhist chant, "The benefactor's kindness, sending Seng Xiu back. Since he is back today, this is the most suitable time."

These monks, it seems that the higher the cultivation, the more cloud-shrouded the words are. Ruan Ci didn't know how to answer for a while. She originally wanted to describe how Seng Xiu entered meditation, but was afraid that Monk Fa Yun would say something like 'that is his tribulation' again, so she simply omitted it all, just curiously asked, "Junior Brother Seng Xiu has been in meditation for more than thirty years, is there still a chance to wake up?"

"The soul incense is not extinguished, and the fate with the world is not exhausted."

Monk Fa Yun answered while getting up, signaling Ruan Ci to help him transport Seng Xiu out of the door. Ruan Ci was even more surprised, because she had never thought that an Luo Han high-level monk would have to move his disciples by hand like this. For a moment, a terrible thought arose: "Could it be... could it be that I should try to avoid using magic power beside Seng Xiu? That, that would be terrible. He was with me, and there was magic power and spiritual energy everywhere..."

Her uneasiness must have been written on her face. Monk Fa Yun looked at her a few times and took the initiative to explain, "Benefactor, don't worry, it's just that the mountain gate is used to acting like this. This is also the secret method of our temple's cultivation. The old monk who opened the door just now is a Bodhisattva of our temple."

Foundation Establishment corresponds to Sramanera, Golden Core to Bhikkhu, Nascent Soul to Luo Han, and those called Bodhisattvas are naturally Grotto-Heaven high-level cultivators. Ruan Ci never expected that a Grotto-Heaven high-level person would run down to open the door, and was ignored by everyone except her. She couldn't speak, and after a long time said, "Uh... it seems my sensing is quite strong, it's just that I called the wrong title."

Monk Fa Yun nodded, "Senior Brother Jian Zhen's state of mind cultivation has reached the realm of transformation, but he was seen through by the benefactor, which shows that the cultivation has not yet been perfect, and it shows that the benefactor's future achievements will be limitless."

He spoke with Zen meaning, and even when praising Ruan Ci, he was not slick, but very sincere. But all this was ruined by the actions of the two of them. Ruan Ci and Monk Fa Yun walked one by one, one holding the head and one holding the feet, and walked to a row of monk's houses in the backyard. Many monks passed by them, and all ignored the actions of the two. This was the most un-cultivation thing Ruan Ci had ever done since entering the Dao. She had gradually broken away from embarrassment and began to feel interesting. Monk Fa Yun didn't even use the power of mortals, and the movement was a bit strenuous. Most of Seng Xiu's weight was pressed on Ruan Ci's hand.

Ruan Ci also tried to learn from him, controlling her strength to the limit of mortals, but once she tried, she knew it was far from that simple. Using magic power has become an instinct for cultivators. Even if she completely abandons magic power, the reinforced body, how to use only extremely small strength, and at the same time 'forget' all the rest of her cultivation, without a trick, it seems that no matter what, she cannot do it. At least Ruan Ci, although her strength gradually became smaller, still felt strenuous, and always couldn't help but use her cultivation to support Seng Xiu's body.

"Little Benefactor."

I don't know when, Monk Fa Yun had stopped and looked at Ruan Ci seriously, "This disciple of mine is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his body is at least a thousand catties. If you only use the strength of a mortal... we can't move him."

After all, he is not True Person Wang, and Ruan Ci's thoughts like pearls in her brain could not be turned into language to attack him. After being choked for a while, she used all her strength to hold Seng Xiu completely in her arms, gritted her teeth and asked, "Master, is this okay?"

Monk Fa Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, "Thank you, Benefactor."

He turned around to lead the way for Ruan Ci, walked dozens of steps, pushed open a wooden door, which was Seng Xiu's room, the same size as the one Monk Fa Yun lived in. Ruan Ci walked over and paid attention to it, and found that all the monk's houses here were about that size. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, do all the monks in the temple live in such monk's houses?"

Monk Fa Yun nodded, "Even the abbot is like this, but he lives in the north wing."

This monk's room is crowded with three people standing, and the Grotto-Heaven high-level person lives in such a monk's room?

What about the Grotto-Heaven they opened? The entrance of the Grotto-Heaven cannot be too close, and this mountain, if no space secret method is applied, will definitely not be able to accommodate two Grotto-Heaven entrances.

Ruan Ci's heart was full of doubts, but because Monk Fa Yun said that this was a secret method of cultivation, it was not good to ask again. Helping Monk Fa Yun, she placed Seng Xiu on the meditation bed, stepped back and bowed slightly, with a bit of sadness, "Junior Brother Seng Xiu, let's say goodbye here. I hope we have a day to meet again."

Monk Fa Yun also raised his hands and touched the two heads under the dharma clothes. Only then did he and Ruan Ci exit the room and walk toward the way they came. Ruan Ci was full of doubts, and because it was not good to ask, she was suffocated to death, just wanting to return to the flying boat quickly and discuss it with Ruan Rong and Qi Yueying.

"Little Benefactor came from afar to return my disciple. Such friendship cannot be disappointed," just as she was restless and wanted to leave quickly, Monk Fa Yun opened his mouth again, "Alas, the temple is poor, and there is nothing to repay—"

Ruan Ci was curious about how Monk Fa Yun was going to send her away. This kind of favor is not big, not small. If it is a Sheng Sect coming and going, it is usually a promise, or pointing out cultivation, or giving magic tools to form a good relationship. Unexpectedly, Monk Fa Yun's tone turned, "I can only invite the little benefactor to have a vegetarian meal, which is a small token of my heart."

She was taken to the dining room. It happened to be noon, and the dining room was serving food. Everyone had a bowl of brown rice and a dish of green vegetables. Ruan Ci took a bite and spat it out, embarrassed, "Disciple has never eaten human food since childhood..."

This bowl of rice was really just an ordinary bowl of brown rice, containing no spiritual energy at all. Even the mortals in the mortal kingdom at the foot of the mountain, if their family is slightly wealthy, will not eat such rice. The green vegetables were also an ordinary dish of green vegetables, and Ruan Ci could even smell the fishy smell of the vegetables.

Monk Fa Yun didn't mind. Ruan Ci didn't eat, so he poured the remaining brown rice into his bowl, and the green vegetables were the same. He finished it in a few bites and said goodbye to Ruan Ci at the door of the dining room, returning to his room to continue cultivation.

When everyone met in the Heng Ze Heaven, they didn't say too much about the sect. Even Li Pingyan, the details of his sect lineage, Ruan Ci only knew after returning to the Jin Bo Sect. But Seng Xiu's old home was actually in such a situation, which was truly unexpected. Ruan Ci stood at the door of the main hall for a long time before she came to her senses. She found a monk, asked for the direction, and hurried to the market at the foot of the mountain. Ruan Rong and the others had already gone ahead, and everyone happened to meet there.

Leaving the mountain gate, there was no guest to accompany her. Ruan Ci's escape light was very fast, and she arrived at the market at the foot of the mountain in less than half a quarter of an hour. She noticed that when she took the bay leaf magic tool to go up, the magic tool flew very slowly, just like the speed of a galloping horse. It seems that the monks of the Wugou Sect are determined to be low-key and are not willing to show any extraordinary place to outsiders.

This, in Ruan Ci's view, has deviated from being pretentious and is completely incomprehensible. She urgently wanted to find Ruan Rong and vent to her. However, the Wugou market is the same as the general cultivation market, very lively. The most ridiculous thing is that there are mortals selling vegetables and rice outside the market, and a few big monks are bargaining with mortals there. Ruan Ci stopped to watch for a while, feeling interesting and absurd. Only then did she chase the traction in the momentum field, found a teahouse deep in the market, felt Ruan Rong summoning her on the third floor, so she simply flew in from the window and landed beside Ruan Rong, smiling, "Sister Rong, you made me find you."

Ruan Rong held her hand, smiling, "Miss Ci, look who's here."

She stepped aside, Ruan Ci looked closely, and was very happy in her heart, calling out, "Brother Qian! Ah—the Crown Prince is also here."

In front of Ruan Rong, several cultivators were looking over. One of them looked sick, with black tail eyes, closing his eyes and folding his hands. One had a face like jade, smiling and nodding. It was exactly the old friend from South Zhuzhou, meeting after a long time. Ruan Ci forgot the ghost tricks of the Wugou Sect for a while, and was about to step forward to talk about the past, but a young man on the top called out, "Hey, sword envoy, don't look left and right. I was just asking you for advice. What do you think? Fight or not?"

Ruan Ci glared at him, seeing that the young man was also a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, knowing he was protection, and sneered, "You are a protection person, and I am also a protection person. What kind of madness are you playing with my sister? If you want to ask for advice, come and ask me for advice first, then fight with my sister."

The young man looked at her a few times and said, "Oh, I heard that the Purple Void Heaven of the Shangqing Sect produced a crazy woman who killed a lineage of the lower sect for a Foundation Establishment spiritual beast. It seems it's you. Hmph, your cultivation is quite fast, but I don't know how much potential you have ruined. You short-lived ghost, what's good for me to fight with you?"

Ruan Ci's cultivation improved so fast, in the eyes of outsiders, it was naturally the sword envoy's wings, forced to do so for protection. She heard it and laughed instead of being angry, retorting, "If you can't fight, you can't fight. Why say so much? Even if my life is short, I live longer than you. If you have the ability, fight me, I will kill you."

She had her own confidence in saying this. The young man was also forced to a standstill by her, and couldn't help but look at the woman beside him for instructions. The woman smiled and shook her head at him. Before she could speak, Ruan Rong had already pressed Ruan Ci down, stood up and said gracefully, "This Senior Sister, since you are interested in weighing my cultivation, why do you need to be tactful and ask others to come forward? This is not the act of a famous sect. If Senior Sister wants to compete with me, the younger sister will naturally accompany you."

She made a gesture to the woman. The woman pondered for a moment, and also stood up happily, pulled out a dagger, and smiled, "Swords have no eyes, Junior Sister, be careful."

This woman was also a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. With Ruan Rong's cultivation at this time, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to win against her. Ruan Ci was a bit anxious, thinking, "This is probably Sister Rong's first serious fight in her life, let's see how she deals with it. Alas, this is already the territory of the Wugou Sect, and the Grotto-Heaven spiritual sense in the sect is also very difficult to cover. If something happens, it will be bad."

But seeing Ruan Rong smiling, she seemed to have a plan in her heart, so she retreated to the side, followed the two women out of the teahouse, and went outside the market. A fight was thus put together. On the way, Ruan Ci looked at Qi Yueying a few times. Qi Yueying also understood and transmitted sound, "This is the protection of the Crane Hall on this trip, and she is just the first chess piece pushed out."

The Crane Hall is also a Sheng Sect. Ruan Ci nodded slightly, knowing that this trip was difficult to be good, and even if she won this battle, it might not be good. I don't know if Ruan Rong will deliberately show weakness or have other plans.
