Nine Heavenly Towers

Eighteen golden beams of light shot up into the sky, surrounding the red-clothed patriarch inside.

The red-clothed patriarch was still struggling, and the wood spirit power in his body was almost exhausted.Suddenly, the abbot of Shaolin pushed the Zen stick in his hand towards the ancestor in red.The Zen staff quickly drew a straight line in the air, and one end of the Zen staff blinked deeply into the red-clothed patriarch's body.

The old ancestor in red frowned, his face showing pain.At this time, eighteen beams of light gathered around the red-clothed patriarch who was in the center, and when the eighteen beams of light descended on the body of the red-clothed patriarch, they merged into one.The ancestor in red finally turned into himself at this moment, turning into a cyan vine.

After a while, the golden light dissipated, and the abbot volleyed slowly towards the blue vine suspended in mid-air.His right hand lightly picked up the blue vine, and sang in his mouth: "Amitabha, because of one evil thought, the almsgiver spent thousands of years of hard work, and today he is gone. What a pity! Let the poor monk cross your road to the Brahma world in the west."

The abbot said with compassionate eyes, and with a sway of his body, he had already returned to the false bodhi tree again.

He carefully inserted the vine into the soil under the Bodhi tree, and a dark yellow bud slowly protruded from the vine.

"That's it. Only by doing good with one's heart can you make progress!" the abbot whispered to himself, and closed his eyes to meditate again.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Mu seemed to be fleeing a catastrophe.He woke up from the dream in horror, his forehead was covered with sweat.When I sat up suddenly, I realized that I was sleeping in an ordinary meditation room.

Opening the eyes that were suddenly zoomed in just now, but now somewhat sleepy, Xuanmu checked himself, there was no missing flesh or stumps on his body, and it was surprisingly intact, which made Xuanmu very pleased.

He walked out of Shaolin slowly, and stood outside the gate of Shaolin Temple, feeling emotional in his heart.He really wanted to thank the abbot and say goodbye, but he was very hesitant.

Master Yunlan told him that Buddhism and Taoism are fundamentally different.But he thought about it, and finally ran towards the Bodhi Garden quickly.

"Putong." Xuan Mu knelt in front of the abbot, kowtowed deeply to the old abbot, showed gratitude, and said sincerely: "Thank you abbot for saving your life. Well, I will definitely repay you with springs. I will live up to the abbot's kindness."

"Get up, you are here to say goodbye." The abbot still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and said softly.

"Yes, Xuanmu still needs to practice and go to Yangzhou. So I bid farewell to the abbot."

"You go, come to Shaolin as a guest when you return."

"Well, definitely." Xuanmu said gratefully, and reluctantly bid farewell to Shaolin Temple.

..................................................................

In front of the Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ji looked at it with a look of astonishment, it seemed that she treated Xuan Mu who walked out of Youya Youzai as a prehistoric monster.For a person who had been sentenced to death several hours ago and was executed, who appeared in front of his eyes again, anyone would have such an expression.

"Hey, Senior Sister Xuan Ji. Why are you here?" Xuan Ji didn't speak, but Xuan Mu asked in surprise.

"Oh, I came to Shaolin to pay homage." Xuan Ji said with a worried look.Anyone can see that what she said is a lie.

"Worshiping incense, you are a disciple of Kunlun, what kind of incense are you offering to the Buddha?" Xuanmu asked again in surprise.

"Who stipulates that Taoist disciples can't worship the Buddha?" Xuan Ji was asked, her face was a little ugly, and she asked back pretending to be strong.

"No, no, no. You go, I won't bother you." Xuan Mu waved his hand. He didn't have the slightest thought of entanglement with this kind of girl who was not experienced in the world but was arrogant and ignorant. Headed eastward.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Yangzhou City, don't tell me you want to go with me?" Xuan Mu turned his head, and answered Xuan Ji's question with a bit of teasing.

"Do you dare to walk out of Shaolin Temple? Don't you know that the ancestor in red is going to kill you?" Xuan Ji was just a child, so she couldn't restrain herself, and finally asked the doubts in her heart.

"Red-clothed patriarch." Hearing Xuan Ji's question, Xuan Mu frowned, and asked, "Who is the red-clothed patriarch?"

When Xuan Ji heard this, her upper and lower cherry lips opened in astonishment, and did not move for a long time.It took a while before he asked: "You don't know the ancestor in red?"

"Hmm." Xuan Mu kept shaking his head, completely at a loss.

"You don't know the ancestor in red, so why did she kill you?"

"Yeah! I am also very puzzled, why did she kill me?" Xuan Ji's question made Xuan Mu faint, he is now in the cloud and mist, and he has no idea what to say.

"You still ask me, how do I know. She said that you killed her two disciples, so you came to avenge her disciples."

"What? It's that yellow-faced woman?" Xuanmu yelled when he heard this.

"It's really rude..." Xuan Ji's eyes showed contempt.

"Tch..." Xuan Mu returned a more contemptuous look, and said, "What kind of manners are you talking about with my little beggar? Are you sick?"

"Forget it, I don't care about you. You are a disciple of Kunlun and my younger brother. Anyway, as a senior sister, I have to protect your safety. You should stay in Shaolin honestly, so as not to make your trip difficult. Died an untimely death."

"I died by accident?" Xuan Mu was talking, suddenly a hint of cleverness flashed in his eyes, and he asked with interest: "Senior sister, how do you know that the ancestor in red is going to kill me?"

"I..." Xuan Ji was momentarily speechless.She is organizing her words, should she tell the truth or...

"Be honest, is that unlucky ghost last night you?" Xuan Mu asked with a smirk when he remembered what happened last night.

"What kind of unlucky ghost, you are the real unlucky ghost. Do you know? It was because I bumped into you that that yellow-faced woman targeted me and said she wanted to take me in as an apprentice." When Xuanji mentioned this, she became furious. , The corners of the mouth are raised high.

"You agreed to be her apprentice? Congratulations, that yellow-faced woman of your master is dead. Hehe..."

"Can I be a high-ranking disciple on the fourth floor of the Kunlun Qi Refining Period, condescending to be her apprentice?" Xuan Ji glanced at Xuan Mu with an idiot-like look.

"When did Senior Sister Xuan Ji become so smart? The junior congratulates you again, and it's because that yellow-faced woman is dead."

"A lot of nonsense."

"Then I won't talk nonsense." Xuan Mu said coldly, and walked towards the east again.I thought: What nonsense should I talk to her?ask for contempt.But yes, if she hadn't appeared last night, I would have been destroyed by that yellow-faced woman long ago.I still have to thank her.

When Xuan Mu's heart yelled to this point, he stopped walking.Turning around, he was about to thank Xuan Ji, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure and asked in surprise, "Why did you come to Shaolin? Didn't you say you were going back to Taihang?"
