Big dreamer

"That's right. If you tell us the cause of the matter, although it will damage your credibility, it can save thousands of lives. On the contrary, if you only care about your credibility and keep silent, it will only show that you are a vain person. A hypocrite and a fake monk without true compassion is worse than breaking the abstention from drinking or eating meat," Shen Luo continued to say sternly.

Seeing Shen Luo coaxing and frightening him like this, Lu Huaming secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was tense and didn't show anything.

"Is that so..." Chan'er's face showed panic.

"In this case, the young monk will break his promise and tell you that in fact, Jiang Liu..." Chan'er scratched his head in distress for a long time before looking up.

"Chan'er, how dare you tell others my secret, you are so courageous!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Chan'er, it was the voice of Master Jiang Liu.

When Shen Luo and Lu Huaming heard this, their expressions changed.

Before the voice fell, a ball of yellow light suddenly lit up on Chan'er's chest. The next moment it suddenly expanded, forming a yellow light array about ten feet in size, covering Chan'er's body.

Shen Luo's eyes narrowed and he was about to do something, but it was already too late. A yellow light array flashed around Chan'er. .

Chan'er's figure in the light array also disappeared in a flash, leaving only a little yellow residual light, which soon drifted away.

"Is this the Earth Escape Array? I didn't expect Master Jiang Liu to know how to use magic?" Shen Luo murmured with a look of surprise on his face.

"Damn it, we were found out about Master Jiang Liu's secrets. He probably hates us even more, and it will be even more difficult to invite him to Chang'an." Lu Huaming said with a little fear, frowning.

"The matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much. Let's take it one step at a time. Let's find a place to rest first and come back at night." Shen Luo Chuanyin comforted him and walked down the mountain.

Lu Huaming sighed and followed.

The two of them found a quiet place on the mountainside and closed their eyes to rest. Night fell quickly.

The two of them did not set off immediately. When it was almost three o'clock, they both opened their eyes and walked towards Jinshan Temple. They soon arrived outside the back door of Jinshan Temple.

Viewed from here, Jinshan Temple is dark and deserted. Apparently all the monks in the temple have gone to bed.

Even so, the two of them did not dare to be careless in the slightest. They cast spells to hide their auras and quietly climbed over the wall and entered the temple.

"Have you found out where Zen Master Hai Shi lives?" Lu Huaming asked via voice transmission.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. I've already asked the Gu to remember his scent. I'll just look for him all the way." Shen Luo turned over his hand and took out the Shadow Gu.

As soon as the shadow Gu came out, he sniffed the air with his nose and immediately flew forward.

The two immediately followed, closely behind.

Shen Luo and Lu Huaming have both reached the out-of-body cultivation stage and are already considered masters in the world of immortality. Although there are restrictions in the temple, the two of them easily avoided it without attracting the attention of everyone in the temple. They soon arrived at the deeper part of Jinshan Temple. place.

"Stop!" Lu Huaming raised his hand to hold Shen Luo.

"What's wrong?" Shen Luo called out the shadow Gu and asked via voice transmission.

"Someone has placed a large-scale restriction in front of them, and it is very subtle. We can't go any further." Lu Huaming's eyes were dimly white, as if he was performing a pupil technique, and he said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Shen Luo poured mana into his eyes and looked forward, but saw nothing.

"You can't see it if you look at it like this. This restriction is very hidden. The people who set up the formation are very advanced and can observe through this thing." Lu Huaming took out a white crystal ball and handed it to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and took it, pouring mana into the bead, then placed it in front of his eyes, looked forward through the bead, and his expression quickly changed.

Observing through the beads, many previously unseen tiny formations appeared in the void ahead, and many white light spots flashed among them, like countless stars in the night sky.

"According to Shadow Gu's tracking, Zen Master Hai Shi is still ahead. Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Shen Luo murmured.

At this moment, a small fire suddenly lit up in a small dark courtyard next to the two people, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark night.

Both Shen Luo and Lu Huaming's expressions changed, and they immediately ducked into hiding.

However, the shadow Gu suddenly made a clear sound and shot towards the yard.

When Shen Luo saw this scene, his heart moved. After hesitating for a moment, he quietly spread his spiritual consciousness towards the lighted courtyard. His face quickly relaxed and he walked out of the hiding place.

"Brother Lu, there's no need to hide, it's right here." He said hello to Lu Huaming, entered the courtyard, and entered the lighted room.

This place is a simple house, the walls have long been peeled off, and there are no furnishings in the house. There is only a bed covered with dry thatch in the corner, and Zen Master Haishi is sitting on it.

Although Shen Luo could tell that the place was simple from the outside, he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

Lu Huaming saw Shen Luo's actions, and after scanning his consciousness, he followed in with confidence.

"The two benefactors came here late at night, what are you doing?" Zen Master Hai Shi asked, looking at the two of them.

"Master Hai Shi, you invited me during the day. How dare you not come?" Shen Luo bowed.

"Oh, why did the old monk invite the donor?" Zen Master Hai Shi said without changing his expression.

"During the day, I asked the Zen Master when fate would come. Zen Master, you coughed three times and turned your hands behind your body. Didn't you mean to ask me to come here through the back door at midnight?" Shen Luo said.

"The donor is indeed a man of wisdom." Zen Master Hai Shi looked at Shen Luo for a moment, and a smile appeared on his dry face like old tree bark.

"Hui Gen doesn't dare to take it seriously. The two of us came here rashly tonight to ask for advice from the host. Master Jiang Liu seems to be extremely reluctant to go to Chang'an to host the Land and Water Conference. I don't know what the reason is." Shen Luo bowed deeply and said solemnly.

Zen Master Hai Shi's wrinkled face moved for a moment, and he was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

"This matter is related to the wealth and lives of thousands of people in Chang'an. Please give me some advice from the presiding master." Lu Huaming saw that Zen Master Hai Shi was silent and felt anxious, so he couldn't help but say.

"Amitabha, this is not urgent. It's a long night. If the two donors have nothing important to do, can you first listen to the old monk talk about the past events of Jinshan Temple?" Zen Master Hai Shi sighed and said slowly.

"Since the master has such leisure, Shen should be all ears." Shen Luo looked at Zen Master Hai Shi's calm eyes and sat down on the stool next to him.

Lu Huaming was anxious and had no time to listen to the past events, but when he saw Shen Luo sitting down, he had no choice but to sit down too.

Zen Master Haishi said in a nostalgic tone: "My Jinshan Temple was built in the previous dynasty. It was originally quite prosperous. Later, things changed. The Taizu of this dynasty opened up new territories. The entire land of China was shrouded in war, and this temple was also affected. It was almost destroyed. Although it was barely rebuilt later, it has declined and has long lost its former glory. Even because the founder left a few martial arts books, most of the monks in the temple fled, leaving only a few with nowhere to go. The old monk stayed here and struggled to survive until more than a hundred years ago when there was a chance of improvement. "
