The land of the far west.

Because this place is full of desert sand, it is extremely barren.

Therefore, many dynasties only rule in name, and in fact they don't even bother to ask.

Not only that, this place is even regarded as a place of exile. Those who commit serious crimes but do not die will often be exiled here...

Based on the above reasons, this place is extremely chaotic, even more chaotic than the southern wilderness.

Thousands of years ago, Buddhism wanted to spread its religion in China, but was beaten into a dog by the martial arts in China. It had no choice but to retreat to the far west and began to thrive.

Later, Buddhism relied on its strong strength and Niubi's brainwashing ability to turn the far west into a land of Buddha with temples everywhere.

Due to human nature, Buddhism also gradually began to split, creating a mess of Tantra, Mahayana, Hinayana, and Huanxi Taoism.

Among them, the Mahayana Tathagata Temple, Tantric Dharma King Temple, Hinayana Du'e Temple and other sects are the most powerful, and they are also known as the Three Saints of the Extreme West.

Dang~!

The rich bell sound spreads, and waves of sound rise one after another.

In the huge Tathagata Temple, a solemn and solemn phantom of the Buddha, dozens of feet tall, holding flowers and smiling, suddenly appeared.

The Buddha's eyes were half-closed, silently looking in the direction of the Middle Earth, with sadness appearing in his brows.

This vision lasted for several breaths, and then gradually disappeared with the sound of the Buddha's chant.

"Amitabha."

The old monk sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue, staring at the two broken dolls on the table, his expression particularly gloomy: "The soul sculpture of Yuantong is also broken..."

Both dolls are palm-sized and look like they are carved from some kind of gemstone.

If you look closely, you will find that the faces of the dolls are exactly those of the monk who killed Zuo Chongming and Jiechen who died in the arena.

Soul Sculpting——is the unique secret method of Tathagata Temple.

Warriors who have reached the Guiyuan realm will divide their consciousness into pieces and save it in a specially made soul sculpture.

Once a warrior dies, Tathagata Temple will know as soon as possible.

If the body can be found, the incomplete information can be extracted through the soul sculpture, so that the real murderer can be found faster.

Not long ago, Jiechen's soul sculpture was the first to break. Just when they were extremely anxious, Yuantong's soul sculpture also broke.

This sudden bad news directly broke their defenses.

Because the life and death of Jie Chen is related to the grand plan of going to Tathagata Temple and then entering the Middle Earth.

The eminent monks of the Tathagata Temple spent all their efforts in cultivating Jie Chen. They never thought that he would lose his life after just one trip home.

The monk in the Discipline Hall said with murderous intent in his eyes: "Brother Abbot, could it be Fawang Temple that did this? Or Du'e Temple?"

We all stand on three sides and are old enemies of each other.

Operations such as pulling back, shooting hidden arrows, etc. are commonplace.

Now that something like this happened, they immediately suspected that the other party was behind the scenes.

"Not too possible."

Someone next to him spoke up and analyzed in a deep voice: "According to their journey, on the day the Jiechen Soul Sculpture shattered, they had already entered the capital for several days."

"You mean that something happened to Jiechen in the capital?"

The middle-aged monk frowned: "But Jiechen has a good background. His father is a high official in the court and an important figure in the capital. Who dares to kill him?"

Before the man could answer, everyone turned around.

But I saw a young monk with handsome appearance and outstanding temperament walking into the main hall holding a package.

The young monk put his hands together and saluted: "Abbott, fellow masters, Master Yuantong has sent a package, saying it is a specialty of the capital..."

Yuantong? Specialty?

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

The leader of the Discipline Hall suddenly stood up, reached out and took the package, and shook it open with the drum of true energy.

There was a crunching sound, and a few pieces of jade and a letter were revealed.

"Image Stone."

Everyone naturally recognized this thing, but their attention was more focused on the letter.

"You go down."

The first person in the Discipline Hall asked the young monk to leave first, and then handed the letter and the photo stone to the old monk.

The old monk's face trembled and he silently opened the letter.

There is only one sentence in the letter, and the general content is to ask them to activate the image stone, and everything will come to light.

The letter paper is not thick and the handwriting is clear.

The others also saw the contents of the letter through the back, and couldn't help but look at the several photographic stones, their expressions a little uncertain.

"call……"

The old monk took a deep breath and picked a shadow stone to enter the true essence.

What appeared in front of everyone was a bustling arena, and there were more than twenty people fighting in the arena...

No, it's not a melee.

It should be that the majority of people form an alliance to besiege one person.

Through the noisy discussions and cheers in the venue, the people at Tathagata Temple quickly figured out the general story.

Emperor Wu wanted to make Zuo Chongming the champion, but the officials naturally disagreed, and finally everyone took a step back and decided on the competition.

Hundreds of officials wanted to weigh Zuo Chongming as a prodigy in the capital to see if he was qualified to become a marquis.

The reason why Jiechen suddenly wanted to return to Beijing was because his father in Beijing came home to write a letter.

However, at that time, Jiechen said that he was homesick and did not mention the matter to Tathagata Temple.

"This is……"

"Buddha's Palm?"

"He has just returned to the early stage of Yuanjing, how could he..."

"So scary?"

When Zuo Chongming used Tathagata Palm, the entire hall immediately exploded.

Even though they were calm and mentally prepared, they were still shocked by this scene.

The long-lost secret knowledge of Tathagata Temple appeared in front of them again. This was an indescribable excitement and surprise.

What makes their mentality even more shattered is that the unique Buddhist teachings have always been famous for their extremely high threshold and difficulty in learning and understanding.

It was actually understood to such a profound level by a young man who was only in the early stage of Guiyuan Realm.

Is this a beaver?

This is not a beaver!

But something so unreasonable, ridiculous, ridiculous, something that they didn't even dare to think about, actually appeared before their eyes.

This made them feel confused and at the same time indescribably complicated.

It took a moment to see all the several image stones.

The hall suddenly fell into unspeakable silence, everyone's face was full of complexity, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

After a long time, a hoarse and trembling voice that suppressed emotions forcibly sounded: "The inheritance of our temple, the Palm of the Tathagata..."

"You must find it, no matter the cost."

"Moreover, this person is also the murderer of Jiechen. Perhaps Yuantong was also poisoned by him... He must be eliminated!"

"Brother Abbot."

Everyone communicates with each other.

Everyone's faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement, so much so that they turned slightly red.

"The context of this matter should be like this..."

The old monk stared at the photo stone, his voice still calm: "First of all, Jiechen received a letter from home and went to Beijing to prevent Zuo Chongming from being crowned champion."

"As his father was an official of the imperial court, he must have known the Wu Dynasty's prejudice against my Buddhist sect."

"So, he specifically told Jiechen not to talk to us about this matter."

"But no one expected that Zuo Chongming's combat power was so amazing, that he would have the upper hand against a large number of enemies, and that he would even dare to kill people with his own hands."

"Yuantong was also at the scene. He saw the other party using the Tathagata Divine Palm and Jiechen's death, so he became interested."

"He felt that with the strength of the Origin Sea Realm, he would definitely be able to defeat Zuo Chongming in the early stage of the Guiyuan Realm, but unexpectedly..."

Having said this, he stopped.
To be continued...
