Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Wu Xian got up from the ground and took out a statue, which was the statue of the first Wu Xian.

The statue of Wu Xian shattered, and only the sound echoed in Hinata Hoshino's ears.

"In the name of Wu Xian, authority is bestowed upon Shixing of Maoshan, and all the power of faith is bestowed upon Shixing of Maoshan."

There is considerable power of faith; it can provide enough for at least one or two decades for a typical Taoist temple that is not very popular. However, this is far too little.

"This is a statue left by our ancestors. Much of the faith within it has already been used to defend against powerful enemies and protect our people."

Hinata Hoshino stepped out of the bamboo house and looked at the mountains that had lost their spirit, feeling somewhat sentimental.

He didn't know if what Hinata Hoshino was going to do next was right or wrong.

Yin-Yang Release chakra enveloped the entire mountain, and before the Yin-Yang Release chakra was exhausted, Hyuga Hoshino completed the spirit infusion.

"Ah~, ha."

The sound of stretching came from the mountains, and the whole mountain trembled slightly.

Hinata Hoshino imbued the mountain with a spirit, allowing it to sway itself in place; this is Hinata Hoshino's current limit.

Wu Xian knelt down and bowed devoutly to the mountain, because he felt that Hyuga Hoshino had endowed the mountain with spirituality.

Hinata Hoshino's journey is not over yet, but he feels a little heavier on his body. It's not a physical weight, but the weight of cause and effect, the weight of authority.

Upon opening the map, Hinata Hoshino slapped his forehead. It was clearly closer to Qinghe, so how did we end up here?

Moreover, Longhu Mountain seems to be closer to the Zhuge family's place. Why didn't you think of taking a look at the nearby one?

However, with divine power by his side, it's not far off.

The Grand Master Gu was somewhat uneasy. He opened the small wooden box, and a Nuo god mask appeared.

“Eee-ee-ee, ya-ya-ya…”

The Great Gu Master gritted her teeth, put on the Nuo God mask, and sacrificed her own lifespan. She saw a young Taoist priest arrive, but left in disappointment.

She witnessed Wei Shufen's departure and the theft of the Gu pot.

"puff"

The Grand Gu Master spat out a mouthful of blood; this question had cost her at least ten years of her lifespan.

There's a saying that witchcraft and sorcery are inseparable. But only the great sorcerers know the truth. The path of witchcraft has a long and rich history, while the path of sorcerers hasn't existed as long as that of witchcraft.

When Hinata Hoshino arrived at Qinghe, the inscription on the gate read "Qinghe," proving that Hinata Hoshino had not gone the wrong way.

As soon as Hyuga Hoshino stepped inside, he felt that he was surrounded by a dense swarm of Gu worms. If it weren't for the presence of the Aburame clan in Konoha, which gave Hyuga Hoshino some resistance, he would have really developed trypophobia.

The Grand Gu Master, accompanied by Wei Shufen and Zhang Shuying, walked from the depths of the village, one on the left and one on the right. The Gu worms, which had been restless, calmed down after the Grand Gu Master arrived.

"Young man, you won't find what you're looking for here."

“I knew from the moment I walked in that I would leave empty-handed.”

"Young people, are you interested in coming into the village and having a chat?"

"No need, thank you for your kindness, Master Gu."

Before leaving, Hinata Hoshino glanced at Wei Shufen. She really looked like her; she was exactly the same as Feng Baobao.

The Gu Masters are indeed out of luck, and the Zhuge family is probably in trouble too. It seems we can only go north to take a look.

Hopefully, Shaolin Temple, shamanism, and Tantric Buddhism will not disappoint.

Chapter 165 Unraveling the Void, Zhou Sheng

Shaolin Temple has always been known as a sacred place of martial arts, and this is indeed true in the novel "Under One Person," where Jie Kong, one of the Ten Elders, became a monk and practiced. The moves he used were basically the same as those in martial arts novels.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord."

"Amitabha."

"Please inform them that Shixing from Maoshan has come to pay his respects."

“This humble monk, Jiekong, my master instructed that if it is a Taoist priest from Maoshan, he should be led directly into the inner hall.”

The abbot of Shaolin Temple had been meditating in his meditation room for a long time. He did not speak when he saw Hyuga Hoshino enter.

Hinata Hoshino raised an eyebrow, seemingly wanting to strike a chord.

"Abbott..."

What is an abbot?

"To trap others is to trap oneself."

"Why?"

"It was a square foot, surrounded by walls on all four sides, where the sun never rose and the world was hidden from view."

Why is there a wall?

"Wine, women, wealth, and anger are four walls, hiding many alluring things within."

"Amitabha. Excellent, excellent. Where does the benefactor wish to go?"

"Freedom to come and go."

"Where are you from?"

"Where I was meant to be."

"Why?"

"Come when you should come, go when you should go, without any reason."

Hyuga Hoshino floated cross-legged in mid-air, quietly watching the Shaolin abbot. He had been meditating for a long time, and Hyuga Hoshino couldn't believe his legs weren't trembling. He remained silent for a while.

The Shaolin abbot twitched his leg, and Hyuga Hoshino spoke with a wicked grin.

"Is the abbot tempted?"

"Only when the benefactor's heart is moved can this humble monk be moved."

"Is the abbot's leg numb?"

"nature."

"Why don't we try to speak properly?"

"The donor is a talented person."

The Shaolin abbot stood up, his legs went numb, and he almost knelt down before Hyuga Hoshino. However, he had cultivation, and he was fine after circulating his qi.

“I am aware of your request, but I have one condition.”

"Is it enough?"

Hinata Hoshino tossed over a money pouch containing a hundred gold coins, which lay quietly inside.

The Shaolin abbot, with a serious expression, opened his money pouch, the golden light dazzling, and then looked at Hyuga Hoshino with a smile.

"You are indeed exceptionally intelligent, please come this way."

The abbot of Shaolin Temple turned a candlestick, and a secret chamber appeared, containing two portraits: Bodhidharma and Sengchou.

Bodhidharma was merely there to spread the Dharma; it was Sengchou who was the originator of Shaolin martial arts.

However, this is a world of martial arts, so both of them are promoters and inheritors of martial arts.

Both portraits emitted a beam of light simultaneously, and Hyuga Hoshino's soul appeared in a space. Daruma and Sengchou spoke together.

"Now, in my name, Bodhidharma (Sengchou), I bestow authority upon Shixing of Maoshan."

Hinata Hoshino quickly accepted the authority and refused the Shaolin abbot's offer to stay, while Jie Kong was still sweeping the floor at the entrance.

"Sweep the floor, sweep the floor, sweep the heart; if the heart is not swept, sweeping the floor is in vain."

"Clean diligently every day, and your heart will be free of dust."

Hinata Hoshino reached out and touched Jie Kong's forehead, transferring the innate Qi of the Immortal Clan to Jie Kong.

Jie Kong sensed a secret technique entering his mind and instinctively tried to remember it, but then discovered that Hinata Hoshino had already left sometime earlier.

Hinata Hoshino left with a playful smile, wondering if he would ever see Xiao Zizai, who possessed the talent of playing the Immortal Clan. It was truly intriguing.

Hinata Hoshino didn't expect that Kaiku was also an honest kid who believed that this secret technique could not be taught to others without Hinata Hoshino's approval.

So, years later, when Xiao Zizai went berserk...

"Baojing, calm down quickly."

"Senior brother, calm down!"

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

"Kill kill kill."

Xiao Zizai's eyes were bloodshot as he fell into the demonic path. Jie Kong sighed softly.

"Guanyin's compassionate eyebrows."

A benevolent-looking Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue appeared behind Jie Kong. At this moment, Xiao Zizai had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation and rushed towards Jie Kong.

"The Wrathful Vajra".

Behind Jiekong, the Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue's expression changed, and a wrathful Vajra appeared.

Countless fists formed from Qi were unleashed, striking Xiao Zizai with devastating force.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, Zhou Sheng rode his donkey backwards, blocking Hyuga Hoshino's path.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Zhou Sheng."

"I am Shixing from Maoshan. Greetings, fellow Daoist."

"You're too kind. You only need to defeat me to get what you want. Ah, ha, what a hassle!"

"I wonder, what does Brother Dao want to compete in?"

The Zhou Sheng before me carried a hint of languor, much like Wang Ye of later generations. He seemed indifferent to everything, yet possessed extraordinary skills that were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
