Sword from Songshan

Chapter 114: Tathagata's Blessing, Rebirth in Paradise

In the courtesy of Baidi Caiyun, Qianling Jiangling returned one day.

It was called Jiangling in ancient times, which is now Jingzhou Prefecture.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect did not travel by water, nor did they start from Baidi City. It is more than two thousand miles from Zhending to Jingzhou.

In order to prevent the Demon Cult from digging out the treasure first, the people from the five sects traveled day and night and arrived in Jingzhou before the Demon Cult in just five or six days.

"The people from the Demon Cult should be here soon."

He found an inn in the city to stay in, and after a short rest, he sent out all the disciples to keep an eye on the movements of the Demon Cult.

Just two days later, Ren Yingying, Xiang Wentian, and Shangguan Yun entered the city with more than twenty skilled fighters.

The helper that Ren Yingying was referring to was Shangguan Yun.

Baihu Hall is located near Zhending Prefecture, so it is most convenient to ask Shangguan Yun for help.

Moreover, as Shangguan Yun is a powerful elder of the Sun Moon Sect, inviting him to join in the treasure hunt is also an excellent opportunity to win him over, killing two birds with one stone.

"There's a tail following me."

At the teahouse at the city gate, the three of them sat down to rest. Xiang Wentian glanced back and said something in a low voice.

"They caught up with us before we even entered the city. They look like the people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect."

Shangguan Yun held the teacup and snorted coldly.

Ren Yingying said nothing, her face gloomy.

Why are people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect here?
But on second thought, since Lu Nanxing could tell them the news, as a disciple of Songshan Sect, he could naturally tell the Five Mountains Sword Sect as well.

But what is his purpose in doing this?

Could it be that he wanted to use the Five Mountains Sword Sect to get rid of her?
Ren Yingying sneered. If that was the case, Lu Nanxing was underestimating her.

"Let's go!"

Whatever the reason, the emergence of the Five Mountains Sword Sect is definitely not a good thing.

Fearing that the treasure might be snatched away first, Ren Yingying stood up immediately.

The three men led their subordinates out of the city and headed straight to the southwest.

"They're out of town?"

"Go and report it quickly!"

"Follow!"

Among the disciples of the Five Mountains who were in charge of keeping watch, one went back to report, while the others continued to follow.

The five sects had received the news long before Ren Yingying and her group entered the city and were on high alert.

Upon hearing that he was leaving the city, he chased after him without any delay.

Since it was a treasure, in order to avoid being discovered, it would naturally be hidden in a place with few people, and it was almost impossible to be in the city. At this time, Ren Yingying and the others left the city, most likely to look for treasure.

"stay close!"

How could a few ordinary disciples hide the truth from masters like Shangguan Yun and Xiang Wentian? Knowing that they had been exposed, the five sects were too lazy to hide and followed them closely, fearing that they would lose them if they were not careful and have their treasures dug up by the Demon Cult.

"quick!"

In Ren Yingying's opinion, it was not tracking, but clearly an attempt to find the treasure before them, so she couldn't help but speed up.

How could she know that Lu Nanxing, the sixth brother, had not told the five sects the exact location of the treasure.

The faster they walked at this time, the faster they would bring the five sects to the treasure location.

"This is it."

Following the hint given by Lu Nanxing, they indeed found a Tianning Temple in the southwest of Jingzhou City.

The temple is not big and is located in a remote area. I guess it doesn't have much worship. The gate and walls are dilapidated and there are only four or five monks inside.

"Are you offering incense or fulfilling a vow?"

The little monk who was sweeping the door saw Ren Yingying and her group coming in. He thought they were pilgrims and greeted them quickly with a smile.

Before he got close, Shangguan Yun showed off the sword in his hand.

The little monk was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

"Ouch~!"

"Amitabha~!"

The other monks, seeing this group of ferocious men, were terrified and quickly fled out of the temple.

Anyway, it’s just a dilapidated temple and there’s nothing valuable in it. Our life is more important.

"Is there a treasure here?"

Looking around, Shangguan Yun's face was full of suspicion.

Ren Yingying said nothing and walked straight into the hall.

Just as Lu Nanxing said, there was indeed a Buddha statue in the middle. Although it was extremely worn out, and even the paint had peeled off, it was over three meters tall, thick and large, much larger than an ordinary Buddha statue, and looked quite majestic.

To the south-west of Jingzhou City, there is a Buddha statue in the main hall of Tianning Temple. Worship it devoutly, pray for the Buddha’s blessing, and may you be reborn in paradise!
Lu Nanxing pointed out that the location was Tianning Temple in Jingzhou. As for the following sentences, to Ren Yingying, they seemed like deliberate teasing.

After all, in her eyes, Lu Nanxing was just a playboy.

"try to find!"

Fortunately, the temple is not big, so at most we can just dig three feet into the ground!

Ren Yingying gave a cold shout and ordered people to search.

"Don't even think about it, you demon cult monster!"

With a loud shout, people from the five sects rushed in at this moment.

"As expected, they are here! Kill them all!"

It was clearly an attempt to steal the treasure. Ren Yingying's face was gloomy and she led everyone to meet them with a cold shout.

Without any nonsense, the two sides started fighting immediately.

In terms of numbers, the Five Mountains Sword Sect still has sixty to seventy people, and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect has only more than twenty people.

However, these were Shangguan Yun's confidants, and they had quite a few skills. Even if they were outnumbered, they would not be killed all in a short time.

As for the masters, Shangguan Yun was fighting one against two, still fighting against Yue Buqun and Master Dingyi. Although it was difficult to win, he was not under much pressure.

Xiang Wentian even fought alone against three people, fighting against Taoist Tiansong, Lu Lianrong, and Le Hou. As a top-notch second-tier player, he actually had the upper hand against two fourth-tier players and one third-tier player.

Only Ren Yingying and Lu Nanxing were left, and it was a one-on-one fight. Ren Yingying thought she was no match for Lu Nanxing, but she only needed to hold him back and did not need to fight him head-on.

The melee between nearly a hundred people caused chaos in the hall, with doors and windows being smashed and chopped, and then the fight spread into the courtyard.

Both sides are good players and each has its own experts, so it was difficult to tell the difference for a while.

"What on earth are you planning?"

After fighting for more than ten rounds, Ren Yingying couldn't help but realize that Lu Nanxing didn't seem to be serious.

Otherwise, even if her moves were exquisite, it would be extremely difficult for her to entangle Lu Nanxing, whose body and sword skills were both superb.

While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Ren Yingying became more and more confused.

What is Lu Nanxing’s purpose?
If the purpose was just to lure them here and kill them when the opportunity arose, why would we hold back now?

For a moment, Ren Yingying was completely confused.

In contrast, Lu Nanxing was not in a hurry and even started chatting while fighting.

"The treasure has been found."

"You take me for a three-year-old!"

Ren Yingying's face was full of annoyance and she grumbled.

"This dilapidated temple is so big, how can there be any Jianwen treasure?"

"I didn't examine the questions carefully enough."

Lu Nanxing smiled and guided.

"Recall carefully what I said, and do not miss a single word."

"Not a single word was missed..."

Ren Yingying frowned and couldn't help looking at the Buddha statue in the hall.

In addition to the Tianning Temple, Lu Nanxing also asked her to worship the Buddha statue in the main hall.

Could it be that worshipping this Buddha statue would bring one a treasure? Or was there some connection between them, such as worshipping the Buddha triggering a mechanism that would lead to the appearance of a secret room?
Thinking of this, Ren Yingying took a quick step forward and kicked the cushion in front of the Buddha statue away. Like the stone slabs on the ground around it, there was no apparent mechanism.

Ren Yingying still didn't give up and stepped hard on the floor again, but there was still no response.

"You fool me!"

Seeing no changes, Ren Yingying looked at Lu Nanxing angrily.

"Being smart."

Lu Nanxing shook his head, dodged Ren Yingying's knife, and then jumped onto the incense table in front of the Buddha statue.

Ren Yingying was full of anger and chased after him, slashing at Lu Nanxing again with a pair of short knives in her hands. Lu Nanxing did not fight back or block, but just ran and dodged around the Buddha statue.

It was clearly a joke on her, and Ren Yingying became even more annoyed. Since Lu Nanxing didn't fight back, she wouldn't be polite and would chase him and hack at him.

Bang~!

The dagger chopped at the Buddha statue, stirring up layers of dust and mud.

Bang~!

Ren Yingying didn't care and chopped the Buddha statue again with her knife, but it made a sound of metal and stone!

Buddha statues are all made of clay or wood, how can there be metal?

Ren Yingying was startled, she retracted the knife and looked over, her eyes widened instantly.

I saw a golden color revealed deep in the knife marks!
Ren Yingying calmed herself down and quickly used a knife to peel off some of the soil nearby, which immediately shone brightly with golden light.

"This is!"

There is gold under the soil. Could this be a golden Buddha?
Looking up at the Buddha statue, Ren Yingying's face was filled with shock.

This Buddha statue is more than three meters tall and extremely large. Apart from a layer of mud on the outside, if it were all made of gold, it would weigh at least five or six hundred thousand kilograms!
Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gold, the Jianwen treasure is actually real!
Surprised, Ren Yingying quickly covered the knife marks with mud, fearing that they would be seen by others.

Bang~!

But at this moment, Lu Nanxing, who had been dodging, suddenly attacked with a sword.

Ren Yingying was startled and quickly dodged.

With a dull thud, Lu Nanxing's sword hit the Buddha statue heavily.

"not good!"

Coming back to her senses, Ren Yingying looked at Lu Nanxing with a strange smile on his face and her expression changed drastically.

"Oh my God! What is this! Gold, all gold!"

Sure enough, Lu Nanxing was peeling off the dirt on the surface of the Buddha statue while shouting excitedly.

In the hall, everyone turned their heads and looked over when they heard Lu Nanxing's shout.

When everyone saw the large area of ​​gold exposed under the soil of the Buddha statue, they were stunned.

“It’s the Golden Buddha!”

Then everyone came to their senses and rushed towards the Buddha statue. There was a mountain of gold in front of them, so they had no time to fight.

There were many people outside the hall. They came in after hearing the noise. After seeing the golden Buddha, they were stunned at first, and then they all rushed forward.

The swords that were originally used for fighting were now used to hack at the Buddha statue in an attempt to cut off the gold on it.

Who can move such a huge golden Buddha? The only way is to cut it into pieces of gold so that you can put it in your arms.

"What on earth do you want to do!"

Ren Yingying, who was the first to discover the golden Buddha, was pushed down. Looking at Lu Nanxing, who was standing aside with his arms folded, looking like he was watching a show, her brows were furrowed.

Facts have shown that Lu Nanxing did not lie to her, and there is indeed Jianwen treasure here.

Who else could have the talent to create such a golden Buddha, unless it was an imperial treasure?

But precisely because of this, Ren Yingying couldn't understand why Lu Nanxing would really give this treasure away?

Treating gold and silver as nothing? This state is too high.

Ren Yingying couldn't believe that a vulgar and dissolute person like Lu Nanxing could reach such a level.

Either his realm is high or his vision is broad, so high that he does not even take the emperor's treasures seriously.

As the daughter of the former leader of the Sun Moon Sect and now the Saint Lady, Ren Yingying holds a respected status. She has lived a life of luxury since childhood and believes that she never takes money seriously.

But facing this imperial treasure, one can't help but be tempted.

Why does Lu Nanxing do that?
"Don't worry about thieves stealing, just worry about thieves thinking about it."

Compared to Ren Yingying who was full of doubts, Lu Nanxing looked calm.

"Now the treasure is given to you. You don't have to keep staring at me anymore."

"that is it?"

Ren Yingying looked at Lu Nanxing, her face still full of suspicion.

"if not."

Lu Nanxing smiled and tried to make his eyes look more sincere.

In order to fool Fei Bin, Lu Nanxing threw out the bait of Jianwen's treasure.

Although the goal was achieved at the time, it also brought a lot of trouble later.

Fei Bin was finally killed, but unfortunately, the news had already leaked out.

Now it’s Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian, who knows who will be next, maybe even Dongfang Bubai will know in the end.

By that time, Lu Nanxing, as the only person who knew the whereabouts of the treasure, would be the target of public criticism and would be in great danger!

In this case, why not make the treasure public now!
Now that everyone knows where the treasure is, there is no need to keep an eye on Lu Nanxing anymore.

In this way, this hidden danger is completely solved.

As for whether this treasure is not that treasure, it doesn’t matter since they are both the emperor’s treasure.

Of course, giving up such a huge treasure, even as a time traveler, Lu Nanxing felt a little bit distressed, so how could he not take the opportunity to gain some benefits.

"What's this!"

"There's a secret door here!"

As he was speaking, as more and more mud fell off the Buddha statue, a secret door was suddenly discovered at the waist of the statue.

Could it be that there is more than just gold!

Everyone was excited and rushed to pry the door open with swords and knives. The weapons that they once regarded as treasures were now full of cracks and they didn't care at all.

"Jewelry! They are all treasures!"

When the secret door was opened, a scene of jewels and treasures appeared.

Pearls, gems, corals, jade, emeralds, cat's eyes... the belly of the big Buddha statue is filled with all kinds of treasures.

In comparison, this golden Buddha statue is nothing.

Yes, that’s right, this is the real imperial treasure!
Then, everyone stretched out their hands and took out the treasures from the Buddha statue's belly.

"Stop it all!"

Faced with countless treasures, just when everyone was gradually going crazy, with a loud shout, a large group of officers and soldiers rushed in.

Lu Nanxing, who was chatting and laughing with Ren Yingying just now, couldn't help but be stunned. How could the government get involved? This was not within his calculations.

A large group of officers and soldiers surrounded the entire temple. It was obviously not a temporary deployment, but a deliberate arrangement.

"No one is allowed to move! The East Factory has officially taken over this place!"

When I was confused, several factory guards came in.

Lu Nanxing suddenly realized that it was the East Factory again.

Previously, the Five Mountains raided the White Tiger Hall, and then went south together with the Demon Cult. How could the East Factory, which had been keeping an eye on the martial arts world, not know about this?

At this time, mobilize the troops and surround everyone, just in time for someone to take advantage of the situation.

That’s fine, Lu Nanxing smiled, this treasure can be taken by anyone.

"This is!"

The factory guards who had been so arrogant just now were stunned when they saw the golden Buddha and the jewels rolling out of the Buddha's belly.

Even though they had been in and out of the palace before, they had never seen so much gold, silver and treasures!
Even the factory guards were like this, not to mention the ordinary officers and soldiers, whose eyes were all wide open.

For a moment, everyone stared at the golden Buddha, and the entire hall was silent.

Dingdangdang~!

A cat's eye stone the size of a longan slipped from the incense table and rolled straight to the feet of an officer.

The soldier's eyes widened and he quickly bent down to pick it up.

"mine!"

The officers and soldiers nearby reacted and shouted to grab it.

“It’s all jewels!”

It was as if a gap had been opened, and all the officers and soldiers immediately rushed towards the golden Buddha, shouting loudly.

“These are mine!”

"Don't rob me!"

Soon after, everyone from both the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Cult came to their senses and joined in the scramble again.

For a moment, everyone in the hall went almost crazy around the golden Buddha. They threw away their weapons in the scramble and bit each other like wild beasts!
