Li Chang'an looked out the window, and the Sanhua Temple, dozens of miles away, seemed to be right in front of him.
Deep within the temple stands the tall, white-walled, black-tiled tower.
In Li Chang'an's eyes, the pagoda was entirely golden, and a golden dragon shadow clung to its body, slowly moving about.
……
Sanhua Temple.
Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen, and Li Lingsu are provoking Buddhist martial monks.
"Master, according to the Golden Eagle Heroine, the pagoda contains experts from the demon and barbarian tribes and the Witch God Cult who fought during the Battle of Shanhai Pass."
Twenty years have passed, and those peerless masters have transformed into Blood Pills and Soul Pills. This is the opportunity for extraordinary advancement, the boost to reaching the third rank.
"Nonsense!" the middle-aged monk roared in anger.
Xu Qi'an said, "Are you furious? The person suppressed inside the Pagoda also had the merits of my Great Feng back then. It's a bit too domineering for the Buddhist sect to want to keep the treasure for itself."
The figures of the martial arts world responded enthusiastically.
“That’s right, the Blood Pill and Soul Pill should also be shared by our Great Feng. Why should the Buddhist sect monopolize them?”
"Hand over the Blood Pill, or we'll burn down the Sanhua Temple."
The middle-aged monk flew into a rage, glaring fiercely at Xu Qi'an: "Nonsense! Sanhua Temple has no Blood Pills or Soul Pills. This is someone deliberately trying to stir up trouble."
Li Lingsu quickly said, "Whether we believe you or the Golden Eagle Heroine, we can only judge for ourselves."
In an instant, the martial arts figures started cursing, with all sorts of vulgar and offensive language flying around, from insulting the women in their families to saying things like "You are my son."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Xu Qi'an poisoned the middle-aged monk with a poison that Lina had brought to the capital.
"Only I can cure the poison in his body. Let us into the temple, or let him die."
Each profession has its own expertise. Buddhism is not good at detoxification. Pharmacology is the domain of poison masters and sorcerers, while Taoism has only a rudimentary understanding of it.
The monk Jingxin, who had just come out, gave Xu Qi'an a deep look.
He turned slightly to the side, made a "please" gesture, and said:
“You are welcome to enter the temple, benefactor. This humble monk will grant you entry.”
All eyes turned to Xu Qi'an.
"You're trying to trap me like this..." Xu Qi'an understood what the other person meant.
Xu Qi'an stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "Gentlemen, if you don't step forward now, when will you?"
"I, Chu, am willing to accompany you to the temple, brother!"
"I, Li, am willing to accompany you to the temple!"
The two teammates stepped forward together, ready to enter Sanhua Temple.
A hearty laugh came from below the stone steps: "I, Tang, am willing to accompany you into the temple, brother."
The source of the laughter was none other than the master of the Double Blade Sect, Liu Yun's teacher.
A young general with dark skin and bright eyes walked out from the bushes.
"Li Shaoyun, the garrison commander of Fangzhou!"
He leaned on his gun, glanced at the crowd sideways, and introduced himself.
"I heard that Sanhua Temple has produced a treasure that can help a fourth-ranked person enter the extraordinary realm, so I came to take a look."
"You bald monks, dare to block my way? I'll stab you all to death!"
Soldiers from Leizhou were arrogant, and fourth-rank generals were even more arrogant.
At this moment, a squad of Crimson-Tailed Fierce Eagle Knights arrived from the sky, led by Yuan Yi, the Commander of Leizhou.
A few days ago, news spread that Yuan Yi, the commander of Leizhou, visited the Golden Eagle Heroine to inquire about the rare treasure of Sanhua Temple.
It really wasn't a lie.
This is going to be interesting, which is a good thing for everyone.
The more experts there are, the more chaotic the situation becomes, and the more opportunities there are to fish in troubled waters.
Yuan Yi glanced around, automatically ignoring the martial arts figures, and frowned, saying:
"Li Shaoyun, what brings you here? As the commander, leaving the military camp without permission is a serious crime."
The young man leaning on his gun grinned: "Commander-in-Chief, stop using your official rank to intimidate me."
I'm here to steal the Blood Pill. If I can advance to the third rank, you'll have to hand over your seat to me.
"If you don't manage to grab it, the worst that can happen is you get a few hundred lashes, or be dismissed or demoted. It's not a big problem."
As a fourth-rank martial artist, one's cultivation level is the greatest asset. As long as one does not commit any major mistakes, the court and government will tolerate a degree of willfulness.
"I think you're asking for it again." Yuan Yi glared at him and cursed, "Get over here now."
Li Shaoyun chuckled and ran over excitedly.
“Commander Yuan Yi, Tang Yuanwu of the Double Blade Sect, Li Shaoyun, the Governor of Fangzhou, and those three unfamiliar young masters, two of whom seem to be of the fourth rank, as well as a fourth-rank guest elder of the Leizhou Chamber of Commerce.”
"There are six fourth-rank experts present, and more than two fifth-rank experts. Let's see how arrogant the monks of Sanhua Temple can be now."
Just as everyone was full of confidence, a group of people came out of the temple carrying a sedan chair without a roof.
The curtains were drawn, and identical twin sisters sat on the soft couch.
Li Lingsu was stunned. Didn't the Dongfang sisters leave Leizhou? Why are they back?
Dongfang Wanrong said with a smile, "Master, today we sisters will settle our scores and avenge our grievances."
The two had just entered the Western Regions when they received a message from the Great Wizard, instructing them to cooperate with the Sanhua Temple to protect the dragon's energy.
So the two sisters came to Sanhua Temple from another direction.
"Bitch!"
Wenren Qianrou suddenly flew into a rage, stepped forward, and pointed at the Dongfang sisters, cursing them angrily.
Dongfang Wanrong's smile faded, and she narrowed her eyes to scrutinize her. "Oh, the young lady is here too. Well then, we'll have to have a good match today."
Dongfang Wanqing scrutinized her for a few seconds, then suddenly realized and sneered, "Oh, it's that slut that heartless man hooked up with when he ran away."
At this moment, a martial monk jogged out of the temple and spoke to Xu Qi'an.
"Hand over the antidote, and we can let you into the temple, if you dare to come in."
Chapter 402 Breaking into the Floating Pagoda! Xu Qi'an Dreams of a Little Mare!
Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen, Li Lingsu, and the heroes of Leizhou finally entered Sanhua Temple successfully.
After passing through a series of grand halls, the three parties quickly arrived at their destination, where a massive stupa stood deep within the temple.
With its white walls and black tiles, at first glance, it doesn't look like a magic artifact at all, but more like a normal Buddhist pagoda.
The only odd thing is that it is a hundred meters tall, but the tower only has three windows, symbolizing three floors.
Furthermore, the tower door was a dark gold color, as if cast from gold. It had no door knocker, no keyhole, and was tightly sealed.
In the silent standoff, the local heroes of Leizhou frequently looked up at the sky, silently calculating the time when the Futu Pagoda was opened in previous years.
Rumble!
The tower trembled dully, and the dark golden tower door slowly opened.
Everyone instinctively looked into the doorway, only to see complete darkness.
"Amitabha!"
Monk Jingxin clasped his hands together, bowed to the pagoda, and walked into the pagoda first, his red and yellow robes swaying.
"Amitabha!"
Amidst the chanting of Buddhist mantras, the burly young martial monk Jingyuan and the head monk Hengyin followed closely behind, while behind them were nine martial monks and nine Zen masters.
Two Zen masters, one martial monk, and the other eighteen people of varying cultivation levels. Xu Qi'an glanced at them and knew that these twenty-one monks who had entered the tower were the competitors he would have to deal with later.
"You little bitch, you better not come in, or I guarantee today will be your death anniversary."
The charming and beautiful Dongfang Wanrong turned around and glanced at Wenren Qianrou with a smile.
The Eastern Sisters led the disciples of the East Sea Dragon Palace into the pagoda.
Upon hearing this, Li Lingsu grimaced, her head throbbing.
"Do you need me to kill these two sisters for you?" Xu Qi'an asked jokingly via telepathy, "so you won't have to hide all the time."
Li Lingsu hurriedly shook her head and replied telepathically, "No, Brother Xu, you might as well kill me."
"You slut," Xu Qi'an cursed.
Li Lingsu felt a pang of heartache. "Brother Xu, why don't you scold me to vent your anger?"
"Damn, who do you think I'm cursing?"
……
