Chapter 227 Lotus Master

More than 300 miles west of Yuqingzhou, there is a mountain range called Qilian Mountain. The peaks are strange and steep, with many deep valleys and cliffs. It has always been a place where immortals live in seclusion in the eyes of mountain people.

Just outside this Qilian Mountain, on a huge peak, there is a magnificent temple.

The red walls and golden tiles, the temple halls, are hidden among the ancient trees and deep forests. There are thick incense smoke rising and surrounded by the sound of Zen, which makes people quiet. It is a holy place for Zen.

This is the famous Jinlian Temple, which is not only a famous Zen holy place, but also a famous martial arts sect.

In a temple deep in the temple, a skinny monk is holding a secret letter and looking at it carefully.

The monk is wearing a golden red cassock, and his appearance is solemn. If someone sees this cassock, they will be in awe. In Jinlian Temple, only a great monk at the level of an elder is qualified to wear a golden red cassock.

This skinny monk was Lian Wu, the elder of the Discipline Hall.

After reading the secret letter, he hesitated, flicked his finger, and the secret letter flew into the incense burner in front of the altar, burning rapidly, and turned into a wisp of incense ash in an instant.

Lian Wu got up and left the temple, walking deeper into the temple. Not long after, he came to a pagoda forest. This place was a small valley in the mountains, with stone pagodas standing closely together, making it almost difficult for people to walk.

"Brother Abbot." Lian Wu stood at the entrance of the valley, clasped his hands together and called softly.

"What are you doing here, brother?"

A faint answer came from the pagoda forest. This voice seemed to contain supreme Zen principles, which made people feel as if they had been enlightened and converted.

"Brother, the state capital sent a message that Li Qingshan, the special envoy of Beicang Prefecture, led a large group of people out of the west gate of the state capital, claiming that they would go to Luhu Mountain to wipe out the Black Lotus Sect." Lian Wu replied.

"Well, I already know about this. You can go back." A reply came from the pagoda forest.

"This," Lian Wu hesitated for a moment, "Brother, could Li Qingshan's move be for other purposes?"

"Haha, don't worry, even if he gambles everything, we will still be afraid!" The voice in the pagoda forest was calm and composed.

"Understood, Brother." Lian Wu bowed his head and saluted, then turned and left.

Deep in the pagoda forest, on a golden lotus platform, sat a monk in a gray monk's robe. The monk had an old face, two long white eyebrows hanging from the corners of his eyebrows to his chin, and there was a small pattern between his eyebrows.

This pattern was a golden lotus bud about to bloom, shining with golden light, extremely delicate, and lifelike, as if it could bloom at any time.

This long-browed old monk was the abbot of the Golden Lotus Temple, Master Lianhua.

His eyes were turbid, and he seemed to be staring at a strange tree in front of him without focus.

This was a terrifying ghost tree covered with black scales. Above it were branches that were twisted and distorted like ghost claws. On the trunk grew a hideous human face, with bloodshot eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth, looking like an evil ghost. In the soil under its feet, countless twisted tentacles-like tree roots kept wriggling.

It was the ghost tree that had intercepted the Yu family convoy halfway but was scared away by Yu Guihai.

"Guardian, are you sure you can deal with Li Qingshan?" The ghost tree whispered with a ferocious face.

"Yes, my Jinlian Temple guardian god has been nurtured for hundreds of years, and its strength is almost comparable to that of a ghost. Although Li Qingshan has a great reputation among the innate strongmen, he has no chance of winning against the siege of me and the guardian god." Master Lianhua said expressionlessly.

"What about the other people he brought? There are many strong ones among them, and their number and strength are several times more than the disciples in the temple." The ghost tree said in a deep voice.

"Don't we have you? With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to trap these people in an illusion. When I deal with Li Qingshan, these people will be nothing but chickens and pottery dogs." Master Lianhua said lightly.

"That's true, but," Guishu hesitated, and a trace of doubt appeared on his ferocious face.

"What? What are you worried about?" Master Lianhua frowned and asked.

"I'm worried that there are two innate masters in this team." Guishu replied.

"Oh? Who else?" A sharp light flashed in Master Lianhua's turbid eyes.

"It's Yu Guihai from Qingshan City. He has become the ninth elder of the Yu family in Yuqingzhou City and is currently in Yuqingzhou City. I once explored him halfway. I used the soul-shaking attack with all my strength, but it had no effect on him.

My strength is already half a step into the innate. Only the innate masters who have united their spirit, energy and spirit and condensed the innate true energy can be immune to my soul-shaking attack. Therefore, I suspect that Yu Guihai is actually an innate master." Guishu said in a serious tone.

"Yu Guihai? I know him. He directly destroyed the Holy Church's actions in Qingshan City, and even the holy weapon fell into his hands. I heard that he has the seventh-level immortal cultivation of the Qi Refining Stage." Master Lianhua paused and chuckled.

"Yes, that's why I'm worried that this person will come too. It will be difficult to deal with him." Ghost Tree said worriedly.

"Haha, what's there to be afraid of if this person comes too?" Master Lianhua laughed loudly.

"Oh? Could it be that there are innate masters in the temple?" Ghost Tree was surprised.

"Of course not, and there is no need. Let me ask you, how old is Yu Guihai?" Master Lianhua shook his head and asked back.

"I heard that he is only sixteen years old." Ghost Tree replied.

"Haha, have you ever heard of a sixteen-year-old innate master?" Master Lianhua laughed.

"This, only some legendary figures in the legend can have such amazing talents." Ghost Tree replied.

"What about someone who has the seventh-level immortal cultivation of Qi Refining?"

"Unheard of!"

"Haha, what do you think Yu Guihai is capable of, that he can practice both immortality and martial arts, and have such a high level of cultivation?" Master Lianhua asked.

"This," Gui Shu was speechless, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "But how can he resist my soul-shaking attack?"

"This is very simple, his immortal cultivation is at least the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he can practice a lot of pseudo-magic. As far as I know, there is a defensive method specifically for defending against soul attacks in the Lu family inheritance inherited by this person. It is not surprising that this person has learned this magic, so it is no problem for him to easily block your soul-shaking attack." Master Lianhua explained.

"So that's it!" Gui Shu suddenly realized.

"Haha, and a few days ago, this person's martial arts cultivation has been exposed. At the Yu family's promotion ceremony, this person is indeed a brilliant person. His martial arts cultivation is actually at the early stage of Tongmai Realm. However, it is not a concern for us. If he dares to come, just kill him." Master Lianhua said.

"Well, if this person comes, I will just avenge the last arrow." Guishu roared angrily. When he thought about how he was scared away by this kid, he was furious.

PS: On the first day of discharge from the hospital, I planned to resume the three-up update, but it took me a day to sort out my thoughts. The three-up update time was postponed for one day. I will slowly make up for it later.
