What a lucky world!

Chapter 229 The Secret of the Mantle
Xuan Ji yawned and was about to turn into black smoke and fall on the back of Zhang Mu's hand again, but Zhang Mu grabbed the back of her neck!
"Don't even think about running away!"

Xuan Ji widened her eyes again and looked at Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu tapped Xuan Ji's nose unhappily and said, "Don't try to get away with it."

"Tell me what's going on!"

Seeing this, Xuan Ji sighed and sat down in front of Zhang Mu: "Okay, since you want to know, then I'll tell you..."

Zhang Mu nodded, looking as if he was listening attentively.

Xuan Ji looked at Zhang Mu and said softly, "Do you still remember Lao Deng?"

Zhang Mu's expression also became serious and he nodded solemnly.

He was Xuan Ji's benefactor and was like a father to her.

"He gave me the things!" Xuan Ji's tail twitched slightly, "He said someone would come to get them, and asked me to give them to that person."

Zhang Mu suddenly remembered that on their way to Lanling County to look for Ye Hanzhou, they were chased by a vicious monk. The monk had learned Xuan Ji's whereabouts from a master and disciple who were looking for Xuan Ji.

only……

He could guess the origin of the treasure, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

The black bear demon's cultivation had reached the Sun-Swallowing Realm of the demon race, equivalent to the Gallbladder Gathering Realm of the human race. As a result, the attack launched by mobilizing the power of the cassock was completely absorbed by the Buddha bowl. Meanwhile, the patchwork robe he was still wearing not only helped him break the black bear demon's defenses, which were protected by the cassock, but also "subdued" the cassock...

How could that monk die if he had such a powerful treasure?
Xuan Ji looked at Zhang Mu again, and a guilty look appeared on her face.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Zhang Mu asked.

Xuan Ji walked to Zhang Mu's legs, rubbed her head against Zhang Mu, and then said quietly: "Lao Deng is a disciple of Lan Ke Temple..."

"Direct descendant!"

Zhang Mu was shocked when he heard this: "Direct descendant?"

As far as I can remember, in the stories told in Wuzhai, Lanke Temple was completely destroyed by the Hanging Temple about a hundred years after the founding of the Dayun Kingdom...

Sure enough, novels cannot be regarded as history!
At this time, Zhang Mu had roughly sorted out a clear thread in his mind.

About a hundred years after the founding of Dayun, the Hanging Temple destroyed the Lankao Temple, but the Lankao Temple still retained the flame.

What follows is a story about "passing on fire" that lasts for hundreds of years.

By the time it was passed down to Xuanji Laodeng's generation, the masters would have been defeated long ago, leaving the direct descendant...

and many more!

Zhang Mu suddenly thought of something!
Buddha bowl, patchwork robe...

Mantle!

According to legend, the fifth abbot of Lanke Temple, Master Hongren, had always intended to pass the throne to his chief disciple, Master Shenxiu. However, in his later years, because of a Bodhi poem, he turned his attention to Huineng, who had just joined the temple.

But at that time, Monk Shenxiu had actually begun to lead the Lankao Temple.

It’s equivalent to a prince who has been trained for decades and has even started to act as regent!

In order to strengthen the authority of Monk Huineng, Hongren gave Huineng two treasures left by Bodhidharma, the founder of Lankao Temple, to suppress the luck.

One is the "Red Dust Patchwork Robe" which is said to be immune to all demons and will not fall off after a thousand calamities; the other is the "Golden Bowl in the Sea of Bitterness" which is said to be able to suppress evil and destroy demons and create a world of its own.

Therefore, Huineng is also called the successor!
It was precisely because of these two treasures in his hands that Huineng was able to obtain the full support of the Southern Wu at that time, capture the Lanke Temple, and force Shenxiu to take his team north to Dayun to build the Hanging Temple!

So... Zhang Mu looked down at his patchwork clothes, then looked at Xuan Ji.

No way, no way...

Could these two treasures be those two treasures?
Xuan Ji blinked and said, "After Dayun came to power, the Hanging Temple used Dayun's luck to severely damage these two treasures, which led to the weakening of the Lanke Temple..."

After saying that, Xuan Ji nudged Zhang Mu again and continued, "The Hanging Temple has been looking for these two treasures."

"I know it must be dangerous to carry it with me."

"But the person who came to see me died again. I don't know who to give it to, meow."

"But these were given to me by Lao Deng. Lao Deng died for these two treasures. I can't just throw them away."

"That's why I hid it from you, meow..."

"I'm sorry, meow..."

Xuan Ji's voice was filled with guilt and aggrieved.

Zhang Mu heard this and said in a serious voice, "Do you know you are wrong?"

"I know, meow..." Xuan Ji lowered her head, "I'll go back and bury the things in Lao Deng's cenotaph..."

Before Xuan Ji could finish her words, Zhang Mu hit her on the head.

"Nonsense, just keep it if someone left it to you." Zhang Mu touched Xuan Ji's head again, "Just in case someone comes to ask for it in the future, then you can know the monk's last wish."

Xuan Ji raised her head and looked at Zhang Mu in surprise.

Zhang Mu held Xuan Ji in his arms and stroked the hair on her back.

"Aren't you worried, meow?" Xuan Ji asked, "That's the Hanging Temple..."

"Why should we be afraid of him in the Hanging Temple?" Zhang Mu said with a smile.

The Hanging Temple is very powerful. It has been the leader of Buddhism for hundreds of years, with a profound heritage and countless masters.

But no matter how powerful it is, can it be stronger than the Dayun court?

There is a scroll of divine secrets in his mind that uses various mechanisms to encourage him to rebel!
Besides, Xuan Ji kept saying that she wanted to keep this secret, but when she was in danger from the black bear demon, she revealed it without any hesitation.

I'd better hide it more tightly next time.

After all, what bad intentions could a kitten have?
Hearing Zhang Mu's answer, Xuan Ji's eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and she snuggled into Zhang Mu's arms. But then she thought of something, raised her head and said, "It's not that I don't allow you to use meow..."

"Although these two treasures are badly damaged, they still require the inner energy of Buddhism to activate."

"You don't need it."

"I know, I know!" Zhang Mu rubbed Xuan Ji's head, then took out the cassock from the soldier box and said, "Come, let's take a look at what we have gained from this trip."

Zhang Mu unfolded the cassock, and saw that it was shimmering with precious light and inlaid with several golden relics.

Zhang Mu had already learned about the formation diagram from the water stronghold. He immediately channeled his energy into his eyes and looked at the cassock again. He immediately saw countless lotus flowers on the cassock blooming and falling, falling and blooming endlessly.

And between the blooming and falling of flowers, Zhang Mu seemed to see a battle formation diagram, in which several monks were sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures.

Buddha sings the lotus formation!
When setting up this formation, the center of the formation is suppressed with relics. When the formation is activated, a relic turns into a Buddha, and all Buddhas chant, with lotus as the guardian.

The black bear demon had completely taken the wrong path, treating this formation as a method of physical training, and coupled with his own animal nature, he came up with such a weird and evil method!
As for the specific effect of the formation, we still need to test it again after returning to know it clearly, but being able to make the relics have the charm of Buddha is equivalent to a master who has mastered the true meaning of martial arts. Zhang Mu feels that the formation with such relics as the core of the formation should not be worse than the one in the Bihu Water Village.

In short, the opportunity - the Buddha Singing Lotus Array, is here!
