Chapter 171 Chapter 170 The Sword Immortal Kills White Lotus

When Chen Yuan was chatting with the master of Qingyang Temple before, he vaguely heard the master of Qingyang Temple talk about this matter.

The so-called Buddhist Dharma Assembly!
After the rise of Buddhism and Taoism in the world, there was increasing friction between monks and Taoism, and they always wanted to be first.

In order to avoid trouble, the court convened a Dharma meeting.

The process of the Dharma Assembly is to allow Buddhist and Taoist masters to come on stage to debate Buddhism and Taoism.

As long as there are monks and Taoists with official certificates, they can participate on the stage. The monk or Taoist who becomes the final winner of the debate will be rewarded and canonized by the court, and will soon become famous all over the world.

……

Aoshan.

On the mountain road going down the mountain.

"It turns out that the Taoist priest came down from the mountain this time to go to Shangluo Mansion to attend a Buddhist and Taoist ceremony?"

Chen Yuan said to the beggar beside him.

"This Buddhist and Taoist Dharma Assembly is held every twelve years. It is a grand event scheduled by the current Emperor Mingzong after he ascended the throne. This year happens to be the third time."

"Every time there is a Dharma conference, all the famous monks and Taoists in the world will gather in Shangluo Mansion. Although there are very few practitioners, how can the experienced Taoists not join in the fun?"

Daoist Beggar laughed.

"What's more, the previous two Buddhist and Taoist dharma conferences were won by the Buddhist sect. This time, the Taoist sect must not lose again."

The begging Taoist said with firm eyes.

"Although this is a matter between the Buddhist and Taoist families in the mortal world, it has already involved the practitioners. According to the news received by the old Taoist, not only the Taoist practitioners will participate in the Dharma assembly this year, but the Buddhist practitioners will also participate in the Dharma assembly. meeting."

"If our Taoist sect does not have practitioners come forward, the Taoist sect will definitely be suppressed and beaten by the Buddhist sect."

"Fellow Taoist, would you like to follow the old Taoist and go to the Shangluofu Buddhist and Taoist Dharma Assembly together?"

The begging Taoist asked Chen Yuan.

"When will the Buddhist and Taoist Dharma Conference be held?"

Chen Yuan asked Taoist Beggar.

"In half a year, in early spring next year."

The begging Taoist replied.

"It depends on fate! If I happen to be in Shangluo Mansion at that time and there is nothing else to do, I will attend."

Chen Yuan responded.

He went out to travel without a destination, he just took it wherever he went!

Ever since he realized that practicing hard behind closed doors would not allow him to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, he was destined not to stay in one place for long.

"If fellow Taoist people decide to participate, we will meet at Shangluo Mansion next time."

Soon the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, and Taoist Qidian said goodbye to Chen Yuan.

"I hope the next time we meet, it will be in Shangluo Mansion."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands.

Since the two parties were traveling in different directions, Taoist Qidian left first.

Chen Yuan went to Yangliuguan and picked up the gray donkey he had stored at the foot of Aoshan Mountain. He had just untied the reins when the gray donkey saw that it was Chen Yuan, the master he had been waiting for, and immediately went crazy in the backyard with joy.

Instead of letting out a cry of joy, he squatted down and rubbed his head against Chen Yuan.

"Taoist Master, you don't know that you, the donkey, are really loyal. Seeing you not coming down the mountain for many days, the donkey often looked towards the top of the mountain and shed tears silently. The trail was discovered several times at night, and it wanted to bite it off. I ran away with the reins, probably because I wanted to find you on the mountain."

"It's unbelievable that a gray donkey is so loyal to his master."

A young Taoist priest who had been taking care of the gray donkey for three months said to Chen Yuan.

Later, Yangliu Temple sent a Taoist priest to Shenhuo Temple to deliver a message. After informing Chen Yuan of the situation, Chen Yuan asked the Taoist priest to tell Hui Donkey that he would practice on the mountain for three months and would come down the mountain once the three months were up. He would never give up. It, the gray donkey calmed down.

When Chen Yuan heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It was he who saved the life of the gray donkey. Because of this, the gray donkey was loyal to his master.

But no matter in every aspect, this gray donkey is much stronger than many people.

The other party knows how to repay a favor.

"Please take care of it these days. This is a small gesture from Pindao. Please accept it."

Chen Yuan took out two taels of silver and stuffed it into the young Taoist's arms, regardless of whether he took it or not.

Then Chen Yuan got on the donkey's back, and the gray donkey trotted out of the Yangliu Temple gate in a very humane manner without even having to be driven away by Chen Yuan.

Xue Niang and Xiao Huang followed one person and one donkey, but disappeared after a while.

"Taoist Master, this is impossible!"

The young Taoist priest came to his senses and wanted to catch up and return the money given by Chen Yuan.

After all, this Taoist priest is a distinguished guest of the Divine Fire Watcher.

How can he collect this money?

But when he just started to speak and wanted to catch up, he found that one person, one donkey, one rat and one dog had disappeared in front of the Taoist temple and disappeared. The speed was so fast that it was embarrassing.

"It's no wonder that this Taoist priest has become a distinguished guest of the Divine Fire Watcher. He is truly an immortal in the world."

The young Taoist priest took out the two taels of silver in his arms and sighed.

After walking a certain distance, Xue Niang, who was riding on Xiao Huang's back, suddenly shouted to Chen Yuan who was walking in front: "Wait a minute, Chen Yuan, come with Xue Niang, Xue Niang found some good treasures!"

After saying that, she drove Xiao Huang under her and walked towards a branching path on the right side of the official road.

"What kind of treasure is there? Is it another treasure that has an owner?"

Chen Yuan was puzzled.

But after hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to believe Xue Niang.

Chen Yuan patted the gray donkey on the head. The gray donkey immediately understood and followed behind Xue Niang and Xiao Huang.

They walked along this path with dense thorns and shrubs on both sides for about ten miles, and then came to a forest with dense leaves.

It was late autumn at this time, and the trees in the forest looked dazzling with yellow and red. This was a metasequoia forest.

Fortunately, there were no shrubs or thorns in the metasequoia forest, which could accommodate the passage of the gray donkey, so Chen Yuan did not need to get off the donkey and walk alone.

Chen Yuan rode a gray donkey. The gray donkey's hooves stepped on the ground, which had fallen a thick layer of red leaves, like a red carpet. He followed the snow lady riding Xiao Huang and walked through the water shirt forest.

Soon Chen Yuan discovered that Xue Niang, who was riding Xiao Huang in front, stopped in a piece of grass with silver-white leaves.

I saw this piece of grass. The leaves are not big, only the size of a fingernail, and are round in shape. There are dots of green light spots on each silver-white leaf. It looks particularly beautiful, and the surrounding fiery red. The ground is a stark contrast.

Among the grass, there is a plant with a stem two feet tall and as thick as a thumb, like a maidenhair vine, with green triangular leaves and a white meridian in the middle.

When Chen Yuan saw Xue Niang stopped in front of the plant, observing the plant with his eyes, he knew that this was the treasure Xue Niang said.

After Chen Yuan got off the donkey, he squatted on the ground and peeled off the leaves. After careful inspection, he recognized this thing.

"It turns out to be horse liver stone!"

Chen Yuan looked a little surprised.

The so-called horse liver stone is how it is called in medical books!
Ordinary people call this thing the familiar "Polygonum multiflorum".

"The Polygonum multiflorum with such a thick rhizome may have grown into a human shape. It is at least a thousand years old. This thing has become a spiritual treasure and has become a treasure of heaven and earth."

Chen Yuan was amazed.

You must know that in folklore, there are many stories of people accidentally eating the human form of Polygonum multiflorum and becoming immortals.

But these are mostly rumors. If becoming an immortal was really that simple, immortals would be everywhere in the world.

In fact, taking old Polygonum multiflorum multiflorum has many benefits. It can make ordinary people rejuvenate and make old clams grow pearls.

For practitioners, taking it will be of great help to their practice.Practitioners who are proficient in alchemy can even use Polygonum multiflorum to make elixirs.

Just when Chen Yuan was thinking about this, the Polygonum multiflorum rhizome held by Chen Yuan started to struggle, as if it had become a living thing, trying to escape from Chen Yuan's hands.

Chen Yuan knew that at this time, he could only hold on tight and never let it break away, otherwise, the Polygonum multiflorum plant might run away.

Chen Yuan grabbed the rhizome with one hand, and dug the surrounding soil with the other hand. Soon, a human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum that was [-] or [-] centimeters long, and the rhizome was [-] centimeters long, was dug open by Chen Yuan's hands. The soil has seen the light of day.

The moment it saw the light of day, the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum no longer struggled, and its rhizome hung down feebly, as if it had become a dead thing.

This is because the human form of Polygonum multiflorum has the ability to escape from the ground.

However, the moment it was caught and left the land, it lost its ability and could only surrender.

"What a big Polygonum multiflorum. This Polygonum multiflorum should be at least 500 years old."

Chen Yuan observed for a while and then said.

Then he directly used the "Hutian Curse" to collect the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum into the space of the sleeve robe.

"Sure enough, I didn't raise you in vain. When did you start to have such abilities?"

After Chen Yuan collected the Polygonum multiflorum, he asked the Snow Lady next to him.

Originally, Xue Niang followed him at first because Xue Niang could come back looking for some money for him every now and then. Chen Yuan thought that Xue Niang had the ability to hunt for treasures. However, as she stole other people's things several times, Chen Yuan almost thought that Xue Niang was a treasure hunter. There is no treasure hunting ability at all, her ability is just "stealing".

But now it seems that he wrongly blamed Xue Niang. It turns out that Xue Niang really has the ability to hunt for treasures.

Especially when Xueniang found this thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, it was worth more than all the money she brought home before.

"Of course, Xue Niang has always been there. It's just that Xue Niang's cultivation was not high before and she couldn't find too precious treasures. Then she was always misunderstood every time."

Hearing Chen Yuan praise her, Xue Niang, who was riding on Xiao Huang's back, looked arrogant.

"Okay, I know you are amazing."

Chen Yuan praised.

"I'll remember you for this, let's go."

Then Chen Yuan said to Xue Niang again.

Chen Yuan turned around and was about to get on the donkey and ride away on the gray donkey, but was stopped by Snow Lady.

"Don't go, Chen Yuan, there are still treasures here."

Xue Niang shouted to Chen Yuan.

"And baby!"

Chen Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

But around this place, except for the metasequoia trees and the red leaves falling on the ground, there is nothing else!

Is it...

Chen Yuan looked at the small grass area on the ground in front of him where Polygonum multiflorum grew just now.

"Is this the treasure Xue Niang is talking about?"

Chen Yuan said in confusion.

"Chen Yuan, according to Xue Niang's induction, these silver grasses are far more precious than the human-shaped grass you just picked up!"

The snow lady on Xiao Huang's back confirmed Chen Yuan's suspicion.

Chen Yuan squatted down again. After observing carefully for a while, he didn't see anything precious about this object.

But since Xue Niang has said so, there is a high probability that these silver grasses are treasures from heaven and earth.

Chen Yuan dug out all these silver grasses and their roots, preparing to take them back and identify them carefully.

While Chen Yuan was digging out these grasses, Gray Donkey, Xiao Huang and Xue Niang all ate a few.

Chen Yuan felt that this thing was discovered by Xue Niang. If it was a treasure as Xue Niang said, it would be appropriate to give them some to eat, so he acquiesced.

Just when Chen Yuan finished all this, he got on the donkey's back again and was about to return to Jianghuai City.

"Who is spying? Sneaky?"

Chen Yuan seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of a treetop above his head.

"I didn't expect Pindao to be so lucky. This time I went out and unexpectedly got so many Silver Moon Grasses and a 1000-year-old human-shaped Shouwu!"

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, a voice came from above his head, seeming to regard the treasure Chen Yuan had just obtained as his own.

Chen Yuan looked at the source of the sound and realized that at some point, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a white robe and a lotus crown was standing on the top of a metasequoia tree nearby, but he didn't make any sound. and movement.

If he hadn't just noticed a pair of eyes secretly watching him, he probably wouldn't have been able to spot him.

"Bai Lian Dao?"

As soon as Chen Yuan saw the other party's dress, he knew the other party's identity, and Chen Yuan asked the other party's identity.

"Yes, I am Taoist Bailian. You have a great status and background. If there was no other way, I would not be willing to take action against you."

"Who asked you to keep an eye on me? Not only did you ruin many of my plans, but it also exposed the news that I, Bai Liandao, was born again, putting Bai Liandao in danger, so I had to take the risk and choose to get rid of you."

Taoist Bai Lian looked at Chen Yuan with murderous intent hidden in his eyes.

"Are you an ordinary White Lotus Taoist? A lotus leader? Or a Taoist leader?"

Chen Yuan was not nervous. He sat on the back of the gray donkey and asked the other party's identity.

If the other party is a man or a woman, he must not be a saint!

"You don't need to know this. He's just a dying person anyway. It's useless to know too much."

Standing on the top of the tree, but his body was light and did not bend a branch, Taoist Bailian, who was wearing white robes, said calmly.

Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at the other person, with some thoughts flashing in his eyes: "It seems that you have noticed me a long time ago. This attack on me was carefully considered and arranged, and it was not a sudden idea."

Seeing Chen Yuan chattering non-stop, Taoist Bai Lian, who was standing on the top of the metasequoia tree, had long since given up the idea of ​​fighting Chen Yuan.

His expression was cold and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"The three chess pieces I arranged will all die directly or indirectly because of you. I will use the same spell on one of them to kill you."

Bai Lian said humanely.

Then in the next moment, he disappeared from the top of the treetops.

Chen Yuan didn't say much. With a thought, the rusty sword from the sword box behind his back shot out.

shhhhh!

The rusty sword was as fast as lightning. Several white sword lights flashed in the forest, and the invisible sword energy swept in all directions. Many tree trunks in the forest were severely damaged.

"Got you."

Then the next moment, Chen Yuan looked at a certain place. Wherever the silver chain turned into a rusty sword slashed, three or four metasequoia trees as thick as a man's arms were cut in half, and a few blood marks appeared out of thin air.

"I used the invisibility technique, how did you discover me?"

Taoist Bailian appeared again with many sword marks on his body. Taoist Bailian's eyes were full of disbelief, and he questioned Chen Yuan.

"The invisibility technique only hides the practitioner's figure. It does not make you really disappear. You don't even know this. No wonder you, the White Lotus Dao, were almost exterminated by the imperial court a hundred years ago."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"you……"

Chen Yuan's words made Taoist Bai Lian angry.

However, the next moment...

His body was split into three, his head, lower limbs, and upper body were shattered and scattered at the same time, and blood sprayed on the ground.

Taoist Bailian died immediately.
