Eternal Sword

Chapter 197 Xiling Esoteric Sect
Chen Tang didn't really care.

Now that I have caught up, just leave it in my Dantian for now and deal with it later.

Anyway, he hasn't reached the stage of cultivating internal energy yet.

There must be a way to the front of the mountain.

If all else fails, go back to the Great Snow Mountain to find Emperor Wu and practice the "Dragon and Tiger Alchemy Sutra".

Vajra relics are from outside the domain.

To be precise, he is also an outsider.

This may seem like a coincidence, but it may be arranged by fate.

Moreover, just now when he was in the state of divine illumination, Chen Tang was surprised to find that after his body was washed by the energy of the Vajra Relic, his bone marrow had actually mutated and was flowing like white frost without any impurities!

If you look carefully, you can see a little bit of mysterious golden light inside.

Marrow like frost!
This is the sign of the sixth level of perfection!
This Vajra Relic indeed contains mysterious power.

Just being washed once caused such changes in the body.

If Chen Tang used the roars of tigers and dragons to shake his bone marrow and practiced step by step, it would take at least half a year or at most a year to reach the sixth level!
This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

That night, the Evil Emperor did not continue to embarrass Chen Tang, and later took Lu Qing down the mountain.

For the next period of time, Chen Tang recuperated on Wujiang Mountain.

Before going to sleep every night, Chen Tang would enter a state of divine illumination and focus all his attention on the wound on his lower abdomen, which would speed up the healing of the wound.

After more than ten days, Chen Tang's wounds had healed.

During this period, Lu Qing came to Xiping Temple to visit Chen Tang.

Chen Tang didn't chase her away.

Ever since Emperor Wu was moved out that night, the Evil Emperor never threatened to kill him again.

The Evil Emperor also turned a blind eye to what happened between him and Lu Qing.

Of course, both of them are open and honest.

After all, there were only monks and psychopaths in Wujiang Mountain, and only the two of them were of similar age and could chat with each other, so they naturally became close.

After more than half a month of training, Chen Tang's cultivation has reached a bottleneck.

Ever since he was baptized by the Vajra Relic that night and broke through to the sixth level, he had been shaking his bones with tiger roars and dragon shouts every day, but there had been no progress.

One day, Chen Tang came to Master Kong and asked, "Master, my cultivation has been stuck at the sixth level for more than half a month. It seems that I have reached a bottleneck."

Master Liaokong said: "Cutting the marrow and exchanging blood is equivalent to a transformation all around, which is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Among the four realms of rebirth, changing tendons and cutting marrow, the extreme realm of cutting marrow is the most difficult to cultivate."

"Some people may practice hard for ten years and still be unable to break through to this level."

I said a lot but didn't say how to solve it.

Chen Tang could only continue to ask: "Master, is there any way to break through this bottleneck? For example, change to a marrow-cutting technique to practice?"

Master Liaokong said: "Mr. Qin's Tiger Roar and Dragon Shout method is already considered a very advanced method for cutting marrow. If you practice other marrow-cutting methods, they are not of sufficient level and will be useless to you."

Why can’t I figure out Master Kong…

Chen Tang muttered to himself, and then changed to a more direct approach, saying: "Master, I heard that there is a marrow-cleansing method in Buddhism, called "Marrow Cleansing Sutra"..."

Master Liaokong laughed in silence and said, "What the donor said is correct. The "Washing Marrow Sutra" is indeed the most advanced marrow-removing technique in Buddhism. However, the "Washing Marrow Sutra" is not in the Buddhist tradition of Shenzhou, but in the hands of the Xiling Esoteric Sect."

"what."

Chen Tang looked regretful and said, "In the past few days, I met several monks from the Tantric Buddhism at Xinping Zen Temple."

"Oh?"

Master Liaokong seemed to be thinking about something and asked, "What are they doing here?"

"I didn't ask in detail, it seemed like they were exchanging Buddhist teachings." Chen Tang answered casually.

During this period, he still went to Xinping Zen Temple for meals every day.

It’s just that in recent days, one can occasionally see some monks in red cloth robes in the Zen temple. Most of them look very thin, with rough skin, slightly red cheeks and bright eyes.

We learned from the disciples of the Zen temple that these red-robed monks are all from the Xiling Tantric Sect.

I only occasionally heard the Zen disciples chatting. It seemed that these Tantric monks came to visit, not only to exchange Buddhist teachings, but also to learn martial arts.

Many young disciples of Xinping Zen Temple were beaten and injured.

Chen Tang just listened to it for fun and didn't take it seriously.

Just at noon that day, Chen Tang had finished practicing at Xiping Temple and was about to go to Xinping Zen Temple for a meal when he saw a middle-aged monk rushing over.

After seeing Chen Tang, the middle-aged monk was slightly startled. Then, when he saw Master Kong, he quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and whispered, "I pay my respects to Master Kong."

Chen Tang's heart moved.

Of this generation?

During this period, he ate at Xinping Zen Temple and gained a general understanding of Buddhist traditions.

If you understand the original roundness, you can achieve enlightenment.

The Ben generation belongs to the second generation of monks. The abbot of Xinping Zen Temple seems to be called Benguang.

For example, most of the young monks in Xinping Zen Temple are from the generation named Wu.

"What's the matter?"

Master Liaokong asked.

Abbot Benguang glanced at Chen Tang with a hesitant look.

Chen Tang pretended not to know.

Master Liaokong did not ask them to leave.

Abbot Benguang had no choice but to say, "The leader of the Xiling Esoteric Sect came to visit with his disciples, saying that Buddhism in Qian Country was declining, the temples were abandoned, and their fate had ended. They wanted to take away the Vajra Relics and keep them for safekeeping."

In front of Master Lekong, the abbot of Xinping Zen Temple also had to call himself a disciple.

"I naturally disagreed, so the leader of the Tantric sect challenged me to a duel, one in terms of both words and martial arts. Xinping Temple is the number one Buddhist holy place in Qian Country, so I naturally cannot retreat."

Abbot Ben Guang said, "The literary duel is a Buddhist debate. I saw that the opponent was not a good person, so I chose the topic for this one. I didn't expect that the master of the Tantric Buddhism was as proficient in Buddhism as I am."

"We have been debating in the Zen temple for three days, but we still can't decide the winner. This round is considered a draw."

Chen Tang curled his lips.

It turns out that I was the one who made up the questions, but I still couldn’t beat the other party.

Abbot Ben Guang also seemed to feel embarrassed. He paused for a moment and then said, "Because the topic of the literary duel is chosen by the disciples, when it comes to the martial arts duel, it is up to the opponent to decide the method of the martial arts duel."

"The leader of the Tantric sect said that the inheritance of Buddhism lies in the future, so the scope of the fight is to determine the winner among the young disciples, who must be under 20 years old."

Normally, people under the age of 20 have not yet developed internal energy.

Abbot Ben Guang continued, "There is a young monk in the Tantric sect, who is of the sixth rank, but the power he can unleash is definitely more than ten stones! He is proficient in the sound domain method and the Tantric Mahamudra. None of the young disciples in the Zen temple can match him."

"In the past few days, this young monk from the Tantric school has defeated more than a dozen outstanding disciples in the Zen temple. The Zen temple is really running out of people!"

At this point, Abbot Benguang looked ashamed and said, "Master Liaokong, please tell me how to deal with this matter. If there is no other way, the Vajra Relic will not be preserved."

"As the abbot, I cannot go back on my word."

Master Liaokong remained silent until this moment, when he raised his eyebrows and his gaze fell on Chen Tang.
