"What does he want to do?" Meng Qi asked in surprise.

Qi Zhengyan said without any expression:
"Don't worry about him. Staying here will only make things worse."

Qing Jing said disdainfully:
"What can you do? You are just greedy for the Shaolin Temple's martial arts and want to take the skills while the Shaolin Temple is in chaos!"

Qi Xia also sneered:
"He wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't realize that he didn't have the ability to do so. He was blinded by greed!"

Wang Jin was as fast as a galloping horse, feeling a little excited inside. He was born in a humble family, and the martial arts he acquired were all ordinary. It was not easy for him to reach the stage of enlightenment, and he was considered a top-notch master. However, if he wanted to go further, he lacked the secret book to this realm. Therefore, for him, the reincarnation world was an opportunity, and it is also an opportunity now!
Although this Shaolin is much worse than the real Shaolin, it can be seen from Abbot Xinji that their martial arts are directly aimed at the external scene, and there is no lack of steps to condense acupoints and open the nine natural orifices!
Shaolin is in chaos right now. If we capture an abbot or an elder and torture him to get the secret manual, no one will notice and will simply think that he died at the hands of Duoercha and his men.

Anyway, the mission is just to defend Shaolin, there is no requirement to harm the Shaolin monks!
Suddenly, silver rays shot out from the forest nearby at an unimaginable speed and hit Wang Jin directly.

The noisy sound of rain hitting banana leaves was heard, and small streams of blood spurted out of Wang Jin's body, like a water bag that had been punctured. Then, he fell on his back with a little joy left on his expression.

"I wasted my Stormy Pear Blossom Needle... But who told me not to let any of them go? Hey, you actually dared to blind one of the general's eyes!"

A young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes walked out of the forest. He smiled, threw the black tube in his hand directly to the ground, and bowed politely.

"I am Tang Shun, nicknamed 'The Universe in the Palm', and I am here to take you to see the Buddha in the West. Namo Amitabha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Shun suddenly quickened his pace and rushed towards Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi who were still standing like a mad bull.

Although his martial arts skills ranked last among the four masters, he was still a strong man in the awakening period. Qi Zhengyan did not dare to be careless. He swung his sword in a circle, like the setting sun, and his defense was impenetrable, intending to stabilize the situation first.

It's not that he has never had experience fighting against powerful people who have opened their eyes. Whether it was the sparring within the sect or the mission in the Hidden Emperor Fort, there was no shortage of opponents who had only opened their eyes. Therefore, he was quite confident in his rigorous and steady Changhe swordsmanship. Even if there was no hope of winning, he could still delay for a while. Not to mention that he had now learned some of the "Thirteen Styles of Clouds and Mists with a Hundred Changes and Thousands of Illusions", which were hidden in his own swordsmanship and were agile and unpredictable. Perhaps he could even hurt Tang Shun and weaken his strength.

Qingjing on the other side could no longer hold back. The knife in his hand flashed, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. The long knife in Qingjing's hand was not fast, but it slashed towards Tang Shun just right!

"The Emperor of Heaven steps on time!"

With Qingjing's level, he naturally could not use the Dharmakaya-level skills, but he was able to perform moves that contained a hint of its true meaning. This was an opportunity Qingjing got in the Hidden Emperor Fortress.

Fear flashed in Tang Shun's eyes. Feeling the terrifying light of the knife, it was too late for him to dodge. He made up his mind to use his perfect horizontal training kung fu to withstand the knife.

"Shua~~~"

Horizontal training kung fu?

A perfect iron shirt?

There was no way to resist Qing Jing's sword, which had a hint of the mysterious Dharmakaya move. Even Duo Er Cha would be injured if he was touched by this sword, let alone Tang Shun, the weakest among the four masters! ?

A line of blood emerged from Tang Shun's neck, and Tang Shun's head rolled down, with blood splattering.

However, all of them had experienced reincarnation, and their expressions did not change much.

The dirty blood was wriggling on the ground, and the book was filled with big blood words:
"Side Quest 1: Kill 'The Universe in the Palm', one of the four innate masters of the enemy camp. Qing Jing will be rewarded with 80 merits, Qi Zhengyan will be rewarded with 50 merits, Zhen Ding and Qi Xia will each be rewarded with 20 merits."

With the reminder that the task was completed, Meng Qi was completely relieved.

Then he looked around and subconsciously pointed to the familiar right side:
"Let's go this way first!"

Qing Jing and the others knew some of the tricks of this mission, so they chose to follow the route indicated by Meng Qi, who was familiar with Shaolin Temple.

After running for a distance, Meng Qi suddenly stopped and stood there in shock, because the huge red rock was standing in a familiar place.

Is this stone real?

There is indeed a secret passage here!

Meng Qi was shocked and stunned, his emotions fluctuating and he couldn't calm down.

"Whoo~~~"

Meng Qi took a few deep breaths, then stepped forward and began to explore like Zhen Guan.

Is there really a mechanism?!
Meng Qi suddenly felt a movable bulge.

He took a deep breath and pushed the lever gently. A faint clicking sound was heard and the entrance appeared on the cliff!
Really?! Meng Qi was filled with turmoil.

Qing Jing and others also looked at Meng Qi with strange expressions.

When they first entered the cycle of reincarnation, they felt strange as to why a Shaolin servant would also enter the reincarnation space. But now they have some understanding in their minds.

It was such a coincidence that Meng Qi accidentally learned about the secret passage in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple within this month, and it was even more coincidental that he entered this world.

I'm afraid Meng Qi, and even all of them, are under the watchful eyes of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

At the same time, they were also somewhat curious about what kind of secrets were hidden in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple in the real world that made the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation spend so much effort to invite them to come and explore?

Zazaza, Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan entered the secret passage, fumbled around the inner wall for a while, and finally found the mechanism to close the passage.

Qi Zhengyan took out a flint and a fire starter from his arms, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the surrounding area.

This is a corridor that is two people wide. There are uneven stones above the head, and the stone walls on both sides are rough and undulating, covered with moss.

"It doesn't look like it was purely artificially dug. It should be a natural channel transformed." Qi Zhengyan looked at it carefully.

Meng Qi suppressed his inner emotions and said solemnly:
"Brother Qi, I'll go ahead and explore the road ahead, in case there are enemies hiding inside without knowing it."

Even an ordinary young monk can enter and exit the back mountain. Meng Qi believes that there is only a stupa here, and no demons or monsters. So he plucks up his courage and plans to explore this secret passage. Since the topography of the Shaolin Temple in the two worlds is so similar, the end of this secret passage may be able to reveal the secret of the Shaolin secret passage, and perhaps he will get considerable benefits from it.

Moreover, Meng Qi, who is relatively "familiar" with the "infinite flow", had some guesses about this aspect after learning about "task evaluation" at the end of the last reincarnation. Exploring secrets may be an important reference standard for task evaluation.

Qi Zhengyan looked at Meng Qi expressionlessly, took out another fire starter from his arms, lit it and handed it to Meng Qi:

"Junior Brother Zhending, thank you for your help. We will rest here for a while."

Huh? Meng Qi had prepared a lot of excuses to ask Qi Zhengyan, Qing Jing and Qi Xia not to follow him in the exploration. After all, it was hard to tell what was inside. If he became greedy, things would be troublesome. But he didn't expect that they were so knowledgeable and tactful. Before he could say a word, he volunteered to stay and guard the place!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Qi."

Meng Qi's mind was full of the secrets of the Shaolin Back Mountain. He didn't dwell on this matter. After lighting the tinder, he walked deeper into the secret passage. He didn't notice that Qing Jing, Qi Zhengyan and Qi Xia's expressions suddenly became strange, as if they were trying to hold back their laughter. Obviously, Qing Jing and the other two had already guessed Meng Qi's thoughts, but the strange mission in the reincarnation world this time made them realize that there was a big secret hidden in the Shaolin Back Mountain. They all had their own inheritances, and it was not easy to pry into the Shaolin secrets when Meng Qi was around. At the same time, they didn't want to get too involved in the cause and effect.

Meng Qi was on guard against possible enemies in the darkness ahead, while also being wary of possible sneak attacks from behind.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten that coming to the back mountain was "arranged" by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. He was only thinking about getting opportunities in the back mountain of Shaolin, as if he was blinded by greed.

Meng Qi walked along the secret passage for a while and realized he had entered the back mountain.

The fire flickered, and the dim color dyed the road dull and gloomy, making Meng Qi feel an indescribable pressure, as if the fire would go out at any time, the world would return to darkness at any time, and demons and monsters would emerge from the darkness and eat him alive.

After walking a little further, Meng Qi stopped in confusion, because it seemed that he had reached the end of the secret passage. The mountain wall was semicircular, surrounding a place that seemed to be an open stone chamber.

There was a rotten futon, a stone bed and a stone table.

"Could this be the place where some great master lives in seclusion?" Meng Qi guessed secretly, looked around cautiously again, and then walked over.

As they got closer, the firelight reflected on the mountain wall, and Meng Qi vaguely saw several rows of text.

"Hey, it's Sanskrit." Meng Qi was a top student in the lecture hall after all, and was not unfamiliar with Sanskrit. He squinted his eyes and tried hard to identify it.

"If you don't enter the mortal world, experience the sea of ​​suffering, and don't break the precepts, how can you know the true meaning of the rules, how can you break through the illusions of the world, see your own Buddha nature, and realize the wonderful existence of the vacuum?"

Meng Qi's knowledge of Sanskrit was not profound, and it was very difficult for him to make the words coherent. There was no guarantee that there would be no mistakes or omissions. Of course, he had understood the general idea.

"That's quite profound..." Meng Qi muttered to himself, lowering the torch to shine towards the signature.

"An...Ananda...Ananda?" Meng Qi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Isn't this the venerable one in front of the Buddha's seat?

Wait, there seems to be a story in the Buddhist scriptures about him breaking his vows and leaving!
The Sanskrit word for "Ananda" was written in flowing strokes, as if carved with a knife or an axe. It contained a hint of sharpness, as well as a hint of tranquility and Zen. Meng Qi's eyes were attracted to it, and he stretched out his right hand, trying to touch it.

As soon as his palm touched it, Meng Qi suddenly felt a chill running through his bones. A flash of knife light burst out in front of his eyes, like a dragon entering the sea, or a tiger returning to the mountains. All obstacles were cut off with one knife.

The knife light was so terrifying that Meng Qi couldn't react at all. He could only watch the knife light approach him, changing into various forms and transforming into the mortal world.

The living suffer, the old suffer, the sick suffer, the dead suffer. The sword light evolves into infinite mysteries and finally converges into one sword, cutting through the shackles around the body!
In the light, Meng Qi vaguely saw a monk. He couldn't tell whether he was old or young, handsome or ugly, but he could only vaguely sense the bitterness and heavy determination on his face.

The firelight dimmed, and the Sanskrit words on the mountain wall turned to dust and fell down.

Meng Qi finally came back to his senses and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. What happened just now? The changes in the knife light and the sadness of the world seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind.

The dust settled and turned into words:
"I have obtained the true meaning of 'Ananda Breaking Precepts Sword Technique' and mastered the first sword technique of 'Ananda Breaking Precepts Sword Technique', 'Severing Purity'."

It took Meng Qi a long time to close his mouth before he finally understood what he had encountered. According to what Jiang Zhiwei had said before, the Dharmakaya and some of the top-level external magic skills and moves were not written down. The true meaning was passed down, but the things that carried the true meaning could only be carried once, and some could be passed down for many years. How much one could understand from the true meaning, or whether one could understand it at all, was a personal issue. Once these magic skills and moves were thoroughly mastered, one could leave behind a true meaning inheritance.

Therefore, Jiang Zhiwei was able to comprehend the basics of "Sword comes out of selflessness", and if what she comprehended were turned into a secret book, it would be worth at most ** hundred merits, less than one tenth of the original value.

"I remember that the 'Ananda Breaking Vows Sword Technique' in the temple is not a true inheritance..." Meng Qi thought doubtfully. Because the Vajra Temple is good at swordsmanship, Xuanxin specifically mentioned that Shaolin has an "Ananda Breaking Vows Sword Technique" that can rival theirs. It is at the peak level of external scenes. When it is perfected, it can touch the laws of heaven and earth. At the same time, he also mentioned that a high monk in the previous generation lent out the secret book, mastered this swordsmanship, and became a master of swordsmanship.

Therefore, Meng Qi knew that this sword technique was a secret inheritance in Shaolin Temple.

As he knew very little about the stories in the temple, Meng Qi had no idea what to speculate about. He did not have time to speculate and quickly closed his eyes, concentrating on recalling what he had just learned, pondering over the changes in the remaining form of "Duan Qing Jing" over and over again.

You know, the exchange price of "Ananda's Sword Technique to Break the Vows" is 9,000 merits, 3,000 in total, and 1,200 for each style. You will lose a lot if you forget!

Obtaining the inheritance of the true meaning is equivalent to obtaining the general outline, but it is the general outline that needs to be slowly pondered and comprehended. Moreover, compared with the general outline, the inheritance of the true meaning can directly enable one to comprehend the five sword techniques.

Meng Qi thought to himself:

"If it was Senior Brother Huaikong, wouldn't he be able to quickly comprehend the Ananda Breaking Discipline Blade, and even deduce more moves?"

He was indeed somewhat envious of Shang Yi's "incredible comprehension". Learning martial arts was as easy as drinking water and eating. It was really outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme!
Meng Qi explored the secret room, but found nothing else except some small words left behind. This made Meng Qi a little disappointed and also a little strange, as he felt like he had overlooked something.

"Brother Zhending, have you spotted any enemies?"

Seeing Meng Qi return, Qi Zhengyan, who had been silent for a long time, asked. Qi Xia and Qing Jing also opened their eyes and looked at Meng Qi with interest.

Meng Qi pondered for a moment and made a decision:

"There are no enemies, but there are remnants of the first sword move of 'Ananda Breaking the Vows Sword Technique' on the cliff."

He decided to conceal the true meaning of the inheritance and be honest about the sword skills he had acquired. He wanted to gain everyone's trust with this attitude of trust and lay a good foundation for cooperation in future reincarnation missions.

"Ananda's sword technique to break precepts?"

Qing Jing and the other two were surprised and at the same time shocked by Meng Qi's honesty.

"Yes, but it's only the incomplete form of the first strike." Meng Qi saw their surprised looks and nodded secretly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"It doesn't matter if it's incomplete. I remember there's an item on the exchange list called 'Complete Incomplete'. The less incomplete it is, the less good deeds are needed. The lowest is probably less than 10% of the original amount."

Qing Jing pretended to laugh softly and said:
"Little monk, there's no need to tell us about this kind of adventure. Everyone has their own secrets. I have mine, and Senior Sister Qi Xia and Senior Brother Qi must have them too."

Can it complete the incomplete form? Meng Qi suddenly became excited. The "Duan Qing Jing" he had realized was only slightly incomplete, so it probably wouldn't take much good deeds!

This made him feel very good, and he said with a smile: "We have experienced life and death together, and we will have to work together in the future. If I conceal the sword skills, it will be easy to miscalculate my strength when planning in the future. Anyway, it is only a broken move."

Then Meng Qi said solemnly:
"That's all I found inside. So what's the purpose of us coming here?"

Qi Zhengyan pondered:

"Perhaps it is on the inscription left there that you mentioned. Perhaps this is a trace left by someone in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple! But because this is not the real Shaolin Temple, it is not complete!?"

Qi Xia nodded and said:
“Maybe that’s the case!”

But Meng Qi always felt that something was wrong. There was some key information missing, which led to a deviation in their inference.

Moreover, Ananda's sword for breaking precepts is the inheritance of Ananda, a disciple of Buddha. Could this secret be related to the legendary Ananda?
Meng Qi didn't know that he was very close to the truth. (End of this chapter)
