My wife has a secret

Chapter 262: Buddha Realm

"Brother is different. Brother is Jin'er's sweetheart and also his destined one... Jin'er is willing to help brother answer his questions and become his helper."

"Lu Wanhe"'s voice became softer and softer, and her eyes were full of affection, which made Xu Qing feel uneasy.

……

Time passed silently, and Yang Xianning and Yuheng Xingjun fought several times in the small space of the pharmacy.

Every confrontation was a quick retreat, creating sparks of lightning.

But in the next fight, Yang Xianning pushed Yuheng Xingjun back three feet, snatched a dagger at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, and played with it on her fingertips for a while.

"Compared to that Kaiyang Star Lord, your skills and abilities seem to be much weaker."

After several attempts, Yang Xianning had a new understanding of the strength of the Star Lord in front of her.

Although the Kaiyang Star Lord lacked experience, his unique ability to overdraw his life force was truly terrifying. He could actually increase his true energy by decades, reaching a level that ordinary people could never achieve in a lifetime of martial arts practice.

Compared to Kaiyang, Yuheng Star Lord could not pose any threat to her except for his ability to hide his aura which surprised her.

It's probably a second-rate skill technique.

"I heard from my husband earlier that each of the Star Lords of the White Lotus Sect has his or her own unique abilities. You are probably not good at fighting, right?"

Yuheng Xingjun's face turned stern, knowing that Yang Xianning had seen through his trump card, he simply withdrew his fighting posture and nodded in response, "Yes, I'm not strong, I usually do other tasks."

Yuheng Star Lord is the same as the previous Kaiyang Star Lord. Just his simple words are enough to scare away ordinary people.

The strange voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the wailing sound of torn vocal cords, horrifying and harsh.

"If that's the case, then don't stop me."

As Yang Xianning slowly spoke these words, she was paying attention to the expression and movements of Jade Heng Star Lord.

Although Yuheng Star Lord's abilities were not high, she did not dare to be arrogant. She just wanted to avoid such meaningless fighting and killing.

"General Yang, the Saint is different from the others in the Holy Church."

The Jade Star Lord's mask was calm and he said in an extremely calm voice, "She had personally come forward before to persuade Prince Xiao to withdraw his troops... It's a pity that the man was too obsessed and still wanted to fight to the end."

Yang Xianning looked at Yuheng Star Lord without comment. Although she felt that Yuheng Star Lord's words came from the heart, how could the twists and turns here be explained clearly in just two sentences?
He doesn't look like a good person at all, as he forces the person he disguises himself to live in the dungeon instead of himself.

"The Holy Church is not wrong, it's just those people who are wrong..."

"It's no use talking more."

Yang Xianning interrupted Yuheng Star Lord's words and was about to ignore the other party and force her way through when she suddenly heard Yuheng Star Lord's next words.

"The Lord of Tianxuan who stopped the Liao army actually received the order from the Saint, so he risked his life to stop it. If the Saint had not been concerned about Xu Qing and knew that his family business was in the capital, how could she have been so dedicated?"

Yuheng Star Lord's words made Yang Xianning pause, but it was this moment of trance and hesitation that led to a sneak attack from the opponent.

"boom!"

……

Xu Qing, who was on the second floor, was shocked by the sudden gunshot.

At first, he thought that the pistol hidden in his sleeve had gone off accidentally, and subconsciously glanced behind him.

However, this moment of turning around and hesitation made him realize that the gunshot was not from the pistol he was carrying, but from the noise coming from downstairs.

Xu Qing, who was concerned about Yang Xianning's safety, no longer cared about chatting with Princess Danyang and directly played his trump card.

Strangely, when faced with the pitch-black gun barrel, Princess Danyang did not feel curious or panic, but just pulled down the handle of the seat next to her.

In an instant, the sound of gears in the mechanism began to click incessantly, the whole room began to shake violently, and the floor also rose and fell, making Xu Qing unable to stand.

In a hurry, he had to face Princess Danyang and shoot hastily.

However, the pistol Xu Qing was holding had a low shooting accuracy. In addition, he was not standing firmly and had never received any training, so the shot was naturally off target and hit a pillar nearby.

"Brother Qing, goodbye."

When Princess Danyang saw this scene, she seemed to find Xu Qing's funny stumbling performance amusing and burst out laughing.

Then, her figure disappeared from Xu Qing's sight.

Several gate valve mechanisms opened and closed, and Xu Qing was forced to grab a pillar beside him and follow them as they flipped up and down and moved... After an unknown amount of time of sorting and combining, the terrain of the room finally stabilized.

At this moment, the upper and lower floors of the pharmacy were combined into one, and the medicine cabinets of the entire pharmacy were scattered on the ground. In the middle of what should have been a high platform, a strange depression was formed, with a bottomless staircase leading to the underground.

Yang Xianning, whom Xu Qing was thinking about, was also standing on a piece of floor not far away, looking at the ever-changing environment around her with a serious expression.

After finding out that the other party was safe and sound, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just heard gunshots downstairs and thought..."

Yang Xianning was slightly stunned and asked, "What was the sound of a gun? Was it the short-barreled bird gun? Well... I was prepared. After all, isn't Tianji Xingjun of the White Lotus Sect an expert in using gunpowder?"

The appearance of the musket surprised Yang Xianning a little, but she would not be able to be secretly defeated by the other party.

After all, long before the appearance of Tianji Star Lord, people already knew how to make gunpowder and had some special bird guns, but because these things were too complicated, they were not well-known.

Hearing that it was not a serious firearm, Xu Qing felt relieved.

"Princess Danyang led you upstairs. What did she say?"

Xu Qing simply replied: "It's just a subtle reminder to me that the last calamity of the White Lotus Sect has arrived in the capital during the Ten Thousand Nations Conference and is lurking among the representatives of a certain country... It seems that there should be two forces within the White Lotus Sect, one led by the Saint Girl, and the other led by this Autumn Harvest Envoy."

The latter sentence is Xu Qing’s guess.

Princess Danyang once warned herself that the White Lotus Sect was not a solid block.

Originally, he had always thought that this statement was referring to Xia Changshi Xiao Chong, but now it seems... Even if Xia Changshi has the Liao Kingdom as a backup support, it is difficult for him to compete with the saint who commands various star gods.

Judging from the record of Tianxuan Star Lord controlling thousands of living creatures in the mountains and forests and inflicting heavy damage on the Liao army, flexible use of the abilities and skills of these star gods is enough to make one invincible in this world.

Excluding the leader of the White Lotus Sect whom everyone must obey, there is only one Four Seasons Envoy left.

In the conversation between Princess Danyang and me just now, she had explicitly and implicitly stated that this man was very capable and could very likely become a disaster.

It was obvious that she wanted to pick the autumn harvest with her own hands.

The person who can make Princess Danyang so fearful must be extraordinary. "What should we do now?"

"After she said these words, the mechanism was triggered, causing the structure of the entire room to change... highlighting this secret passage. It is obvious that she wants us to enter and continue investigating the White Lotus Sect."

Yang Xianning frowned slightly, as if she was in a dilemma.

She also didn't want to let the Saint of the White Lotus Sect get her wish, but Xiaohuan's whereabouts were unknown. If she delayed any further, the other party might do something cruel.

Therefore, Yang Xianning turned her gaze to Xu Qing and asked, "Should we first notify the government to seal off this place and send soldiers to explore the way inside?"

"Ji Xia knows our movements. Seeing that we haven't returned yet, the fourth room will definitely send people here to investigate... I'm worried about Xiao Huan's situation, so I want to go down and see for sure."

"Okay, I'll go down with you."

Yang Xianning knew Xu Qing's character. Once he made a decision, he would accomplish his goal unwaveringly.

However, there are many star gods in the White Lotus Sect, and it is impossible that Tianquan is the only star god who is good at fighting. For the other party's safety, I must go along.

After all, the hidden weapons on Xu Qing can only kill powerful people by surprise. If he is really trapped, he will just become a lamb to be slaughtered.

……

The secret room, which should have been bustling with people chanting sutras and praying to gods, was now empty. Only a few strange people in black clothes and robes with strange masks on their faces lived here, sitting in a circle of neither big nor small.

Around the empty space, there were earthen jars for storing food. Not far away, there was an incense burner, enshrining a strangely shaped human figure with an unclear face.

The movement on the ground naturally also transmitted here, causing the star gods who were meditating and resting to open their eyes.

"The passage to the west of the city has been opened... Hasn't that place been abandoned for a long time? Why would someone open the secret passage and enter the Buddha Realm?"

The person who spoke was Yaoguang Xingjun in a white mask.

But he had just finished expressing his confusion when he realized a moment later that the only people who knew the secrets of the White Lotus Sect and could open the secret passage were the Saint Maiden of the White Lotus Sect and the Messenger of Four Seasons.

Apart from Tianshu Star Lord who commands and dispatches everyone, there is only the Saint herself.

The mask of Yaoguang Xingjun became gloomy as the expression on his face turned dark. He asked in a deep voice, "Saintess... opened the door to the Buddha Realm. Did she succumb to the punishment in the prison and make the secrets of the Holy Church public?"

Tianquan, who had remained silent and rarely spoke among the crowd, shook his head.

"The Saint has seen the Master in person and is loyal to him. It is impossible for her to betray the Holy Church."

If Xu Qing heard this, he would probably fall out of his eyes.

No one would have thought that even the Star Gods and Four Seasons Envoys of the White Lotus Sect, not everyone could meet the real leader.

Only Tianshu and the Holy Maiden, who are ranked first among the seven star gods, have this extremely rare qualification.

Although the other star gods do not know what the leader looks like, they know that he has infinite power. Anyone who has seen him will become a slave of the Holy Church and will be willing to work for the White Lotus Sect.

"Then why did she open the door to the Buddha Realm?"

Yaoguang Xingjun no longer had any respect for his former superior.

He gritted his teeth and said, "She who crawled out from here should know best that the Futu Realm is the foundation for all the star gods to descend to the mortal world. If mortals are summoned here... it might anger the leader and bring down divine punishment."

Tianji Star Lord in the red mask seemed to have thought of something, shook his head, and smiled with a vicissitudes of life tone.

Having lived for hundreds of years, he is very resourceful and has guessed the saint's true purpose.

"The time and point when the Saint opened the Futu Realm were extremely coincidental. Didn't you notice... Tianshu had just been assigned the task of cultivating a new generation of Star Lords and left the Futu Realm, and the Saint opened the door right after."

After hearing the reminder from Tianji Star Lord, Yaoguang Star Lord suddenly came to his senses.

It seems that the Saint Lady is well aware of Tianshu Star Lord's plans and arrangements and is deliberately interfering in them.

"She wants to destroy the new generation of Star Lords? Make Tianshu Star Lord lose support for his plan?"

"I'm afraid so."

Tianji Star Lord slowly stood up and said in a calm voice: "You two are well aware of the abilities of the Saint Lady and Yuheng Star Lord. If they had not led other people here, they would not have caused any harm to the Buddha Realm. In this case, let me entertain the Heavenly Mandate."

Tianquan Star Lord and Yaoguang Star Lord looked at each other and nodded slowly.

Although Tianji Star Lord does not know martial arts, as a special case of a mortal ascending to become a Star Lord, his performance under special terrain and topography far exceeds that of ordinary Star Lords.

The Buddha Realm is a "cradle" specially made by the leader. The building structure here is extremely solid, but it is hidden deep underground and the connecting passages are narrow.

It is suitable for Tianji Star Lord to exert his abilities and drive away powerful enemies.

"If you are facing the man of destiny, you must not harm this boy's life. He is a crucial part of Tianshu Xingjun's plan."

After giving instructions to the Destiny Man, Tianquan Star Lord and Yaoguang Star Lord sat there and closed their eyes again.

Gradually, two faint blue lights appeared from nowhere, spreading forward along the strange grooves on the ground, and finally climbed up the bodies of the two people, covering their skin with a fluorescent blue color.

After just a moment, the two star gods groaned at the same time, as if they could not help but let out a cry of pain because of the severe pain in their bodies.

Tianji Star Lord took in the entire scene, then turned his back and disappeared into the dark corridor.

……

The White Lotus Sect's underground secret room was much larger than Xu Qing had imagined.

He had always thought that this should be a storage place for weapons and armor, but he never imagined that... the straight steps leading down were so bottomless, like a cliff thousands of feet high.

All the lights around were out, and there was not a single flame in the lampstands, so Xu Qing and the others could only light the fire and slowly explore downwards.

"How could the White Lotus Sect have such an outrageous building underground in the capital?"

On the way down, Yang Xianning couldn't help but ask questions.

As a general leading an army in battle, she naturally knew what kind of commotion and noise would be caused when ordinary troops dug tunnels.

The capital city is not an uninhabited wasteland. Almost every market town is full of people. How could something like this appear out of nowhere without anyone noticing?

It doesn't make sense either emotionally or rationally.

Xu Qing couldn't answer either, because the White Lotus Sect had too many secrets and he couldn't explain it no matter how hard he racked his brains.
