The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 968 - 519: The Past Has Passed, the Future Awaits
The only one who can make the Dragon Worship Sect Leader hide is this person.
"Young benefactor, have you guessed something?"
Though his expression didn’t change, the blind old monk suddenly spoke.
Li Yan heard him and glanced at the old monk.
Sure enough, it was Mind Divine Power!
He had heard that in Buddhist cultivation, though it also involved the Six Yang Roots, they could use Secret Technique to develop amazing Divine Skills, such as Telepathy.
The perception of Mind Divine Power is the strongest, making it easier to develop Telepathy.
Of course, this technique has numerous limitations when trying to view a person’s mind.
Firstly, one must have significant Dao, and the other person must not resist.
Li Yan carried the "Dragon and Snake Card," so the other party couldn’t detect anything, only noticing a slight abnormality from the change in voice.
Though it’s cautious, it’s also somewhat disrespectful.
Li Yan felt a bit displeased and said, "I was thinking, the Dragon Worship Sect Leader’s Dao is profound, and the one who makes him hide is probably even harder to deal with."
"Besides, there’s one more thing."
"The people sent by the Shu Prince Mansion were beaten by me; according to them, they initially planned to lure me to Lingquan Temple for an attack by others."
"Investigate the Shu Prince Mansion; it might be related to this matter!"
Once these words came out, the hall immediately fell silent.
Master Zhizhi shook his head and said, "I have heard of the matter between Benefactor Li and the Shu Prince Mansion, but our Guangde Temple is valued by the Royal family and watched by too many, so it’s not suitable to interfere."
"As for the Dragon Worship Sect, Benefactor Li can rest assured. Today, the old monk will send people to contact the Emei and Qingcheng Daoists to jointly cleanse the Dragon Worship Sect, preventing disasters in Shu."
"Benefactor Li’s efforts are of immeasurable merit. The people of Shu may not know, but our Mystical Sect will not treat you unfairly."
Saying this, he took out a string of prayer beads, handed over by a nearby disciple, who walked over to give it to Li Yan.
Li Yan looked down and saw the prayer beads were made of Chen Xiang wood, with extraordinary spiritual charm, and a rich incense aroma, enticing the Daluo Dharma Body to become restless.
The Chen Xiang wood was clearly a Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure, heavy in hand, with an aroma that calmed the mind, and densely inscribed with text:
Namo Great Compassionate and Great Merciful Saving Suffering and Difficulty Vast Spirit-Guiding Guanyin Bodhisattva, Namo Buddha, Namo Dharma, Namo Sangha...
Crafted with micro-carved memories, fortunately, Li Yan’s eyesight was extraordinary, otherwise, it would seem like natural patterns on the beads.
"This was handmade by the old monk."
Master Zhizhi said, "It bears the ’White-robed Great Master’s Divine Spell’ and has been offered in Guanyin Hall for twenty years. It can increase blessings and disperse disasters. When cultivating Storing God, holding this treasure can prevent heart demons."
Li Yan’s eyes lit up, quickly cupping his hands, "Thank you, elder."
He didn’t fear heart demons, but this item was a treasure for his partners in the team.
Especially now with Sha Lifei, who was aged and easily disturbed, having this item would greatly enhance Storing God speed.
This trip up the mountain was indeed very profitable.
Master Zhizhi spoke again, "It’s just a little thought from us. Besides, there are things Guangde Temple is not suitable to intervene in, but as long as Benefactor stays within Sui Ning, no one will bother you."
"Thank you, elder."
Li Yan cupped his hands in gratitude again.
He already understood the reason.
Guangde Temple was a Royal Zen Temple and also a Southwest Buddhist Holy Land, with a prestigious reputation, but was also feared.
Especially Royal matters, they couldn’t touch at all.
But protecting them within the territory wasn’t a problem.
Master Zhizhi nodded and looked at Zou Shaohai, "Chairman Zou, the Dragon Worship Sect covertly harms Dragon King Temples everywhere, surely intending to cause floods."
"The Mystical Sect has its matters, but the help of the pugilistic world heroes is indispensable. This matter requires your effort on behalf of Guangde Temple."
"Rest assured, Master, Zou will not fail!"
Zou Shaohai was secretly relieved.
This was what he wanted from the mountain trip.
Borrowing Li Yan’s matter, the Divine Fist Association had made a mark, letting Shu’s Jianghu know they weren’t idle outsiders.
And the campaign against the Dragon Worship Sect was a great opportunity to build momentum.
Li Yan was also quite satisfied.
They had already offended the Dragon Worship Sect; with the Mystical Sect and the pugilistic world joining the fight, the opponent would be too busy to bother them. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The remaining task was to focus on the Shu Prince Mansion matter.
The two were pleased and took their leave.
After they left, the Great Hall immediately fell into silence.
"Brother Master, the ’Wolf Us’ is most likely controlled by the River God, no wonder they want to destroy Dujiangyan. Could it be the demon tribulation in Master’s dream?"
"This is a heavenly mechanism, how can an ordinary person predict it."
"Firstly, capture this person with all our might."
"Also, with Lingquan Temple struck by disaster, people must be in panic. Send people down the mountain to conduct rituals and comfort the souls and people’s hearts..."
"Tomorrow is Dongzhi, the rituals will be continuous. Order disciples from all sects to be cautious and careful to prevent demons from causing disruptions."
"Yes, senior brother."
...
"Congratulations to Young Hero Li for obtaining the treasure."
Above the Fu River, Zou Shaohai smiled and said.
"Thanks to you for the recommendation, senior."
Li Yan was also in good spirits, thought for a moment, then reminded: "The Dragon Worship Sect’s evil technique is formidable, not to be underestimated. If senior discovers anything, do not act alone."
"Of course."
Zou Shaohai stroked his beard and smiled: "I was fortunate enough to step into the Astral Force, but my life has stopped at this point, knowing all too well that there are always others who are superior beyond measure."
"All this effort is just to pave a way for the younger generation, knowing clearly what I can do within my limits."
Saying this, he pondered for a moment, then whispered: "If Young Hero Li wishes to enter Chengdu Prefecture, speak to me first, I’ll help arrange it, lest you fall prey to schemes."
"Thank you, senior."
As they spoke, the boat had already arrived at the Sui Ning City dock.
"Take care!"
"Take care!"
Li Yan jumped onto the dock, cupped his hands to bid farewell.
They planned to rest in Sui Ning for a while, while Zou Shaohai headed towards Chongqing Prefecture to gather Shu Divine Fist Association, and during the year-end meeting, discuss the matter of sieging the Dragon Worship Sect.
...
Back at the Rui Fu Residence, Li Yan recounted the events that transpired on the mountain.
"It’s a good thing!"
"The Dragon Worship Sect is too preoccupied, Guangde Temple sent word, and the Shu Prince Mansion probably won’t come to make trouble, we can live peacefully for a while."
"Yes, let’s enjoy Dongzhi!"
After hearing this, everyone was in a fine mood.
Li Yan was silent for a moment, "This matter was partly my oversight, insisting on taking that ’Ruyi Treasure Pearl’..."
He could see that no one liked the ongoing troubles.
"What is Brother Yan saying!"
Sha Lifei immediately shook his head: "We roam the pugilistic world for the sake of satisfaction in our hearts, with the Shu Prince Mansion pressing so aggressively, if we shrink back, we might not enjoy the year."
"Exactly."
Wang Daoxuan also stroked his beard and smiled: "The banner of our Twelve Primordial Spirits has just been raised, how can we back down now."
"Yes, yes!"
Sha Lifei’s eyes lit up, touching his shiny bald head and laughed: "Yesterday at Wangjiang Building, someone called me ’Brother Wu Ma’, this is like showing off Man’er, who would have thought even I, Sha Guangsheng, would have such a day."
"Sha Guangsheng?"
Lv San was a bit confused, "Isn’t your name Sha Lifei?"
"’Sha Lifei’ is a nickname!"
Sha Lifei said helplessly: "My real name is Sha Guangsheng. Mixing in the pugilistic world, I wanted to give myself a striking nickname, but it turned out to be a joke."
"Even I almost forgot my real name. But it’s fine, now that I have Man’er, these years haven’t been wasted."
Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard and smiled: "Old matters are in the past, no need to dwell on them, my real name is Wang Laonian, and who remembers that?"
"Wang Laonian?!"
Lv San was even more surprised, looking at Wang Daoxuan’s celestial demeanor, it was hard to associate him with the name "Wang Laonian."
"Hahaha..."
Sha Lifei laughed heartily, "Brother Lv San might not know, even ’Long Yan’er’ changed her name after roaming the pugilistic world, her real name is Long Amei..."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly became a bit unnatural.
Seeing this, Li Yan quickly changed the topic, looked at Wu Ba, and smiled: "Wu Ba has such a simple heart, ’Chou Niu’ suits him well. Daoist, what name should I take?"
Wang Daoxuan pondered for a moment, "You excel in Thunder Technique and Water Escape, rising from the grasslands, ’Chen is for Zhen’, naturally one of the Heavenly Gang Primordial Spirits."
"Let it be Chen Long as the title."
"Someday, the dragon will rise upon wind and clouds to the Nine Heavens!"
