The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

The night sky was pitch black, and as Fang Xun went deeper into the mountains, the wind and rain gradually subsided.

But the starlight shines, covering the mountains stretching for thousands of miles with a layer of star veil.

Unlike the scorching yellow sand outside the mountain, the mountain is filled with chill in early spring of February, perhaps because of the extremely high terrain. You can even see tiny snowflakes dancing in the air, and the ground is covered in a white blanket.

The towering peaks block the wind and sand blowing in from all directions, dividing the inside and outside of the mountain into two worlds.

It is said that a thousand years ago, an ascetic monk attained enlightenment here, and Vajra Temple, one of the Thirty-Six Three Buddhas, was founded.

Fang Xun flew all the way through the mountains, climbing over one hill after another, and after going more than two hundred miles deep, he finally saw the outline of a giant Buddha in the distance.

Fang Xun slowed down his pace and looked at the giant Buddha from afar.

The giant Buddha is three hundred feet tall, with its back tightly attached to a steep cliff.

It turns out that someone had dug directly along the mountain wall from the top of the mountain, and carved the top of the mountain into a Buddha's head, and the foot of the mountain into a pair of feet.

In the snow at the foot of the mountain, you can see dots of firelight illuminating the ground. Figures are sitting quietly at the foot of the giant Buddha, as if they are on a pilgrimage, or as if they are comprehending the mysterious meaning of this giant Buddha.

The Vajra Temple does not forbid outside warriors from comprehending the giant Buddhas in the mountains, and every day a large number of warriors come here from all over the world.

Most of these foreign warriors are very well behaved and will not cause trouble here.

Even if there are some foolish people who dare to cause trouble, the ascetic monks of Vajra Temple don't need to take action, other outside warriors will take care of these confused guys themselves.

Fang Xun in the distance also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the giant Buddha meant that they were already at the edge of the Vajra Temple, and the Kuchan Peak where its mountain gate was located was not far away.

Fang Xun paused for a moment and continued moving forward.

Along the way, we passed towering mountains and saw giant Buddhas.

About quarter of an hour later, we finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

From a distance, this mountain looks like a giant toad crawling on the ground. Under the twinkling stars, the snow on the mountain reflects a dim silver glow.

You can still vaguely see simple wooden houses scattered on the mountainside.

At the foot of the mountain, a rammed earth road extends to the top of the mountain. At the entrance stands a ten-foot-high stone tablet with six large characters "King Kong Temple Kuchan Peak" inscribed on it.

Seeing that there were no disciples guarding the mountain, Fang Xun prepared to go straight up the mountain, but the next moment he immediately retracted his foot, the hairs on his body stood up, and he immediately bowed solemnly.

"It turned out to be Abbot Yuanxiang in person, and Jiangnan Fangxun was polite."

"Amitabha!"

Accompanied by the chanting of Buddhist scriptures, Fang Xun finally saw an old monk standing next to the stone tablet at the mountain pass.

The old monk was not good-looking, and his robe had become white from being starched.

He was not tall, his body was thin and dry, and his face was covered with wrinkles, just like an ordinary old man who was about to die.

Although he did not look impressive, he seemed to have always been standing next to the stone tablet, but Fang Xun had never noticed it before!
The person was standing right in front of him, but Fang Xun didn't notice him until he got closer. This made Fang Xun so angry that he almost attacked.

The only one who could make him have such a feeling was the Zhenwu land immortal, and this person was most likely the abbot of the Vajra Temple, Yuanxiang!
When Yuan Xiang heard Fang Xun introduce himself, his eyes became calm.

"So it was Donor Fang who came to visit. Then the one who spied on our temple five months ago must have been Donor Fang."

More than five months ago, Fang Xun used the blood-colored broken stele as a medium to deduce the secrets of heaven, but was discovered by Yuan Xiang.

Although he didn't know who was spying on the Vajra Temple at that time, he remembered the other party's aura. Now that he met Fang Xun face to face, he immediately recognized him. Fang Xun smiled bitterly and said, "This is purely a coincidence. Fang Xun's original intention was just to perform a ritual to inquire about Xue Linlang's plan, but he didn't expect that it would involve your temple."

After hearing this, Yuan Xiang's eyes flashed with realization.

"I see. But I wonder why Mr. Fang came to Kuchan Peak so late at night?"

Fang Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This trip is to warn the abbot. Xue Linlang caused blood disasters in the other three states of the West Prefecture in order to make a feint to the east and attack the west, and also to lure the tiger away from the mountain, in order to lure the abbot away.

Now that I see the abbot is still at Kuchan Peak, I can feel relieved."

Yuan Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It is dark at night. You are a guest coming from afar. If you do not mind the poverty of our temple, you can follow me up the mountain."

"Sorry for bothering you."

Fang Xun did not refuse. He came here not only to warn but also to avoid disaster, so he followed Yuan Xiang to Kuchan Peak.

When Enso described Kongo-ji as poor, he was not being modest.

Not only is the mountain gate simple, there are no grand palaces or pagodas on the mountain. There are only simple wooden houses and meditation rooms.

Yuan Xiang led Fang Xun to a small courtyard on the mountainside and began to speak.

"The guest house is simple, I hope Mr. Fang will not mind it."

Fang Xun glanced around and found that as a guesthouse for accommodating guests, it was indeed extremely simple.

The yard was not small. There was nothing else inside except a small wooden house of about 15 feet square, a well, and a simple fence around it.

But he didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Master is willing to take me up the mountain, I am grateful enough, how can I despise it."

Yuan Xiang nodded and said, "It's good that the donor doesn't mind. As for the matter of Xue Linlang, there is no need to worry too much. Taoist Master Zhen Yangzi of the Imperial Observatory and Chief Constable Tie Wuxin of the Six Gates have arrived at the West Palace, and Chief Constable Tie will come to our temple soon."

Fang Xun's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this: "Oh, Uncle Tie will come too, that's good, with the two masters, the abbot and Uncle Tie, guarding the Vajra Temple, no matter what Xue Linlang plans, he will not be able to succeed!"

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb you from resting."

Yuan Xiang said one more sentence and then floated away.

Only until his figure disappeared into the night did Fang Xun take a deep breath and walk into the wooden house.

The furniture in the wooden house was extremely simple, but it was kept clean and tidy, and there was no shortage of daily necessities.

Fang Xun sat down on the cold, hard bed, and his tense mind finally relaxed a little.

It feels very uncomfortable to be targeted by a master who can kill you.

After taking a breath of relief, Fang Xun sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind in the martial arts hall.

He didn't know who wanted to kill him, but it was useless to think too much now. As long as he broke through Zhenwu as soon as possible, the threat would naturally be eliminated.

It is useless to break through Zhenwu no matter how anxious you are, but the strongest possession of Yangshen in the Martial Arts Hall can be used as a trump card to save your life.

In the training ground, Fang Xun looked at the name 'Wenren Yixuan' for a while before he sighed and pushed open the fifth door.

'I hope Brother Xuan's strength is not too exaggerated. I must defeat Yang Shen as soon as possible! '(End of this chapter)
