Chapter 307: The whole person is not clean

Mount Sumeru, Tianyin Temple.

This place has magnificent halls and prosperous incense. And above this Tianyin Temple, there is a Small Tianyin Temple, which is the living area for monks who practice the righteous method of Tianyin Temple. Morning bells and evening drums, chanting true scriptures, practicing righteous methods, nourishing true nature, everything is so peaceful.

"Bang!"

A wooden fish was smashed directly. The most temperamental Monk Pufang roared angrily: "You passed the Great Brahma Dafan Dafan Bore to an outsider and were eavesdropped on?"

The Master Puzhi in the original book, after passing the Great Brahma Dafan Dafan Bore to Zhang Zhang Xiaofan, killed 247 people in Caomiao Village, took the Three-Day Death Pill, and after returning to Tianyin Temple, confessed his sins to the monks of Tianyin Temple, telling everything in detail. The monks of Tianyin Temple knew Master Puzhi made a mistake and protected Zhang Zhang Xiaofan a lot.

But now Master Puzhi didn't kill anyone, didn't take the Three-Day Death Pill, and after returning to Tianyin Temple, only confessed that he was ambushed in Caomiao Village, etc. Now he felt the matter was of great importance, so he didn't dare to hide it.

Master Puzhi's face was ashamed.

The many monks in this Small Tianyin Temple

"Since you have taken Zhang Zhang Xiaofan as your disciple, then just convert him into Tianyin Temple."

Abbot Puhong of Tianyin Temple turned his prayer beads, looked at Pu Zhi, and asked, "The problem is, do you know the identity of the person who was eavesdropping?"

Pu Zhi shook his head and said, "I only know that the man had an extraordinary appearance and was a local."

Pu Zhi truly felt he had been careless, having been ambushed by a young man who disregarded martial ethics. It was a pity that while the two were talking, Pu Zhi had even felt that the man was a good person and had even been reminded of the principle that a gentleman should be cautious when alone, as external demons easily invade when one is by oneself.

So that young man was the external demon!

"I suspect that man possesses the art of foreseeing the future."

Pu Zhi recalled everything from that day and said, "He set up this trap from the very beginning, and at the moment of my lapse in judgment, he appeared before me just in time."

The current Pu Zhi was extremely ashamed; he no longer used terms like "this old monk" or "this humble monk," referring to himself simply as "I," feeling he was no longer worthy of being a monk.

Inside Tianyin Temple, the various masters looked at each other in dismay.

"Find him! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find him!"

The monks at Tianyin Temple were in a very poor state of mind, and another person whose state of mind had shattered was Lu Lu Xueqi on Small Bamboo Peak of the Mount Qingyun Sect.

In the dead of night, she practiced according to the nameless ancient scroll taught by Gu Qing, and in the midst of this silent circulation, Buddhist golden light actually appeared within her body!

This left Lu Lu Xueqi stunned in place. Looking at the bright moon in the sky and the dense shadows on the ground, she remained speechless for a long time. She thought it over and over, but could not figure out where she had gone wrong.

As the sky turned slightly bright, Lu Lu Xueqi rose gracefully, steered the Duan Tianya Sword, and arrived before Dragon Head Peak.

"Who is that?"

"You don't even recognize her? This is the most outstanding disciple in the Mount Qingyun Sect in five hundred years."

"Why would she come to Dragon Head Peak!"

There were many disciples on Dragon Head Peak. Lu Lu Xueqi just stood quietly before Dragon Head Peak, and many disciples gathered around her. The male and female disciples of the Mount Qingyun Sect were kept too far apart, and these disciples were all repressed; usually, they would glance sideways at any female disciple they saw, let alone a beauty of Lu Lu Xueqi's level.

This was Lu Lu Xueqi's first time at Dragon Head Peak. Seeing the jagged stone teeth here, appearing as if they were about to break and fall, it truly resembled a dragon's head. When a male disciple boldly stepped forward to ask, Lu Lu Xueqi finally said coldly, "I am looking for Gu Qing!"

"You are looking for Junior Brother Gu."

When this disciple spoke before Lu Lu Xueqi, he felt a head shorter and addressed Lu Lu Xueqi as "you" (honorific).

"Junior Brother Gu?"

Lu Lu Xueqi's gaze flickered; the cultivation of the disciple before her was far inferior to Gu Qing's.

"He has only been initiated for a few days."

The disciple who answered was named Wei Yuan. He introduced to Lu Lu Xueqi, "Furthermore, Junior Brother Gu is unruly and rebellious. Within Dragon Head Peak..." As Wei Yuan spoke, he couldn't help but size up Lu Lu Xueqi. Seeing Lu Lu Xueqi's gaze pause, seemingly displeased, he hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Gu is not popular on Dragon Head Peak. I don't know why, but he insists on making things difficult for Senior Brother Qi."

Listening to the words of those around her, Lu Lu Xueqi pieced together a general picture of Gu Qing.

A few days ago, Master Master Cangsong took Gu Qing as a disciple in Grass Temple Village, then brought him to Dragon Head Peak, cultivated him with care, and bestowed upon him the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Gu Qing's cultivation was rapid; in just a few days, he seemed to have completed the first few layers of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, acting as a troublemaker on Dragon Head Peak and fighting with people every day.

"Initiated for a few days..."

Lu Lu Xueqi thought of Gu Qing calmly calling her Junior Sister Lu, and then heard about him acting as a troublemaker and fighting on Dragon Head Peak, recalling her previous sparring session with him.

The current Lu Lu Xueqi was already at the peak of the eighth layer of the Jade Purity Realm and was working hard to break through to the ninth layer. In terms of cultivation, she was already one of the best among the Mount Qingyun Sect disciples, but Gu Qing had defeated her quite easily.

Piecing these things together, Lu Lu Xueqi felt that Gu Qing was shrouded in mystery.

Wei Yuan led Lu Lu Xueqi to the martial arts arena of Dragon Head Peak, where they saw Gu Qing holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, standing prominently in the center of the field.

"Senior Brother Yu Hong, if you want to spar, then follow the rules."

Gu Qing's voice was faint as he said, "If you don't beg me, I won't spar with you."

Yu Hong, on the opposite side, had a flushed face. Holding a broadsword in his hand, he gritted his teeth and bowed to Gu Qing, saying sincerely, "Then please, Junior Brother Gu, give me some pointers!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing was finally satisfied. The Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand left its sheath, pointing remotely at Yu Hong.

Yu Hong made a move, and the broadsword slashed down, but Gu Qing met it with a sword strike. The two sword lights suddenly intertwined, the Taiji Xuanqing Dao moving in one forward and one reverse direction, the green light rotating. The long sword in Yu Hong's hand suddenly flipped and rested against his own neck.

The outcome was already decided.

"It's like this again!"

The disciples nearby sighed one after another.

Wei Yuan had been glancing at Lu Lu Xueqi. At this moment, without waiting for Lu Lu Xueqi to ask, he immediately said, "This is a move created by Junior Brother Gu, called 'Stars Shifting and Dou Turning.' The principle is to reverse the Taiji Xuanqing Dao while knowing the direction of the opponent's force. With one sword strike, he borrows force to strike back, often causing the senior and junior brothers' flying swords to harm themselves."

Lu Lu Xueqi's gaze was astonished; such a move had not been revealed when Gu Qing sparred with her.

"If you ask me, Junior Brother Gu is targeting our Mount Qingyun Sect!"

A disciple nearby, seeing Lu Lu Xueqi's expression, directly began to belittle Gu Qing, saying, "Such a move can only deal with our Mount Qingyun Sect's Taiji Xuanqing Dao; it probably wouldn't work against outside moves. If you ask me, this Junior Brother Gu winning consecutively on the martial arts field is just because Senior Brother Qi and the others haven't made a move, and haven't bullied the small with the big."

"That's true. A few days ago, when Junior Brother Gu was mocking people, he said 'inner-war phantom god.' I feel Junior Brother Gu himself is quite suitable for that."

"He's just good at inner wars."

Lu Lu Xueqi listened to this chorus of voices, stepped out, and arrived before Gu Qing, her voice cold as she said, "Explain!"

She was a pure and innocent disciple of the Mount Qingyun Sect, and suddenly she was no longer clean!

Gu Qing looked at Lu Lu Xueqi's cold, proud, yet aggrieved expression and laughed out loud naturally. Seeing Lu Lu Xueqi becoming increasingly impatient, he finally spoke, "Beg me!"
