Gan Gu Lu Bu Zhuan, Hou Gu Lu Zhuan

Not only did Daoist Sect receive the message, Buddhist Sect naturally also obtained information.

Inside Lotus Flower Temple, Baozhuang Chan Shi looked at the information report in his hand and remained silent.

Things got out of control.

The appearance of Sea Race was completely inconsistent with the warning they had received from World Honored One.

He also has a stack of information on hand, all of which are reports on the continuous surge in the number of Sea Fish groups on the east side of the Compassion Sea.

Judging from this year alone, it seems that the situation on the east side is relatively good.

But if we stretch the time to a hundred-year scale, then in the last ten years.

The total number of Sea Fish groups has abnormally increased by nearly twenty times!

Many monks are still happily hunting Golden Core Sea Fish to obtain the third-level Demon Core and their flesh and blood.

But Baozhuang Chan Shi has begun to worry uncontrollably.

It is stated in Ancient Books that if Royal Clan with the blood of the king is born in Sea Race, he will have the ability to control the Sea Fish group.

This means that up to twenty times the amount of Golden Core Sea Fish may be deliberately manipulated and become a catastrophic force.

If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.

Of course, if that's the only point, it's actually not bad.

There is another thing that really puzzles Baozhuang Chan Shi, and that is the strange sentence Mnemonic recited by Xiao Chen.

"Gan Gu Lu Bu Zhuan, Hou Gu Lu Zhuan?"

Among the entire Lotus Flower Temple, and even the entire Buddhist Sect, Baozhuang Chan Shi belongs to the relatively knowledgeable minority.

But even with his accumulation, he couldn't tell the origin of the sentence Mnemonic at all.

Doesn't it seem to make sense according to the legal principles?

So much so that Baozhuang Chan Shi put the letter paper in his sleeve, but couldn't help but take it out and read it, "No, I'd better look through the Scripture Pavilion's old classics."

No matter what, this is also an important clue about Xiao Chen and the forces behind him.

Now looking at the overall situation, there are two variables.

One party is carrying Sea Beast, Sea Race with unknown intentions but bad intentions.

On the other side is Xiao Chen, who appeared out of nowhere and whose background is a mystery.

Therefore, it is necessary to carefully investigate the relevant clues to better grasp the situation.

After all, at this point, the follow-up of any Nascent Soul force is crucial.

And thanks to Xiao Chen's amazing performance and strong financial resources, everyone is willing to believe that he definitely comes from a powerful Hidden Dao Heritage.

Even though he has never actually admitted it in any public forum.

Baozhuang Chan Shi is not the only one who has this idea.

From Yan Leng Temple in the east to the Heavenly Dipper Sect in the west, from the Azure Sea Immortal Sect in the south to the Illuminating Void Sect in the north, almost all have made similar decisions.

Some people even launched True Disciple and looked up Ancient Books.

Trying to find similar Mnemonic, or even related rumors and anecdotes.

It's a pity that they thought too much and were destined to be in vain in the end.

In the midst of being busy or on the road, September passed by quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of October.

After more than twenty days of continuous flight, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the middle of the Compassion Sea.

Landing on a huge rock to rest, he opened the chart and checked it.

"The person who passed by two hours ago must be Niulan Island."

"Then I should be here by now, which means I'm already within Universal Salvation Temple's sphere of influence."

Approaching the destination, Xiao Chen had to check his direction frequently and carefully.

Just because Zhi Yi Cave marked on that sheepskin scroll did not appear on the detailed chart Azure Sea Pavilion sold to the outside world.

In other words, like Secluded Doom Island, it is a forbidden place that is not disclosed to ordinary monks.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Chen now has the parchment scroll as a reference, so it's not particularly difficult to find it.

If everything goes well.

"I'm sorry, this donor, the front is temporarily Sea Seal, please go around to the right."

A Arhat wearing a cassock with Universal Salvation Temple pattern on it politely extended his hand to indicate that the road ahead was closed to traffic.

"What happened in front?"

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, but still asked calmly, "When will it be possible to unblock it?"

Sea Seal Things like this usually don't last long.

Even for those monks who are on their way normally, if they only have a day or two, it is better to wait on the spot than to take a detour.

So this kind of inquiry is not too unexpected.

"This situation is quite special, and the blockade will need to continue for at least a few more months."

That Arhat put his hands together and bowed slightly. "Please forgive me for the inconvenience caused."

"If the circumstances are right afterwards, the temple will consider disclosing the reasons for Sea Seal, but it is not convenient to say more at the moment."

In fact, even he didn't know the specific reason, it was just a response arranged in advance.

How many months?

However, this is undoubtedly bad news for Xiao Chen.

Therefore, according to his estimation, Zhi Yi Cave is within the range of Sea Seal.

"Okay, then I'll go around."

Although I was a little depressed in my heart, on the surface Xiao Chen turned around and left politely.

This place is only more than three thousand miles away from Universal Salvation Temple.

Not to mention it is under the noses of all Zen Masters, but it can be regarded as right at the doorstep of your home.

So the rules on the surface must be followed.

However, after walking around half a circle, Xiao Chen unexpectedly discovered that Universal Salvation Temple's layout here was almost a defensive one.

Not only are three layers of buoys arranged around the perimeter as a warning line.

And what he saw alone was almost ten Golden Body Arhat patrolling back and forth seriously.

"Hey, what does this mean?"

Xiao Chen I don't quite understand why the other party attaches so much importance to this sea area.

Could it be that Sea Race sneaked in secretly and was exposed?

Hiss~, it's not impossible!

Of course, he didn't leave it here and make random guesses, but decided to find someone nearby to inquire about the situation.

Soon I saw a restaurant on the nearest island.

"Give me a pot of the best Spirit Wine you have here!"

Stepping in, Xiao Chen didn't even look for a seat, and said directly, "In addition, I will add a bottle of good wine to each table, and it will be charged to my account."

Then he told the waiter at the door, "Find me another box, one that is quieter."

Not long after, the shopkeeper of the restaurant brought Spirit Wine to him in person.

Xiao Chen took advantage of the situation and pulled the shopkeeper and asked, "Oh, I originally wanted to go to the north to have a look, but then I suddenly met Sea Seal."

"Shopkeeper, you are a local, tell me what's going on?"

If another strange monk had inquired, the shopkeeper would have declined politely.

But it was rare to meet such a big customer in a small place, so he thought about it before reaching out and closing the door of the box.

He said in a low voice, "Hey, since you are a distinguished guest and you ask, I will say it again."

"But this is just hearsay. If I say this, you should just listen to it as a story."

I emphasized these two sentences first.

The shopkeeper continued, "It's really a long story to tell about this. We have to start at the beginning of the year, the seventh day of the first lunar month."

What he said at the beginning was not very special.

The same information that Xiao Chen got before was the sudden appearance of Brahma Sound and Ten Thousand Zhang Buddha Body.

The focus is on the follow-up.

"It must have been the night of the ninth day of February. Suddenly someone outside reported that Universal Salvation Temple had dispatched a large number of manpower."

"I went out and took a look, my dear, there were dozens of Golden Body Arhats and a large group of novice monks laying buoys there."

"My dear guest, you don't know that those buoys are not as simple as they appear on the surface."

Having said this, the shopkeeper lowered his voice again. "I also studied weapon refining for a few days in my early years, and I can see clearly."

"The buoys in the last row are all painted with Zhao Bo Ning Hua Powder."

"Put it into the water, and the reflected water will be as bright as day within a radius of a hundred feet."

Xiao Chen I have heard of Zhao Bo Ning Hua Powder.

It is a special artificially processed Third-Tier Spirit Powder, which is very expensive and will not be used easily under normal circumstances.

After being sprinkled into water, it will become easily contaminated with real energy and very difficult to remove.

With a special induction array, the situation within the coverage area can be thoroughly monitored.

Most of the time, it is kept as a sect's secrets to prepare for wartime needs.

"And a friend of mine also saw that Pure Bottle Chan Shi led his team to that sea area and stayed there for half a month before coming out."

"Think about it, that's Zen Master."

"Half a month is enough for him to dig through that sea area!"

"So, I'm sure that Universal Salvation Temple must have grasped some clues and knew in advance that there was some kind of incredible treasure in that sea area!"

The shopkeeper continued to introduce, but what followed was just some gossip and various speculations about the treasure.

He talked for another quarter of an hour.

It wasn't until he felt that he had finished explaining that he stopped talking and excused himself, "Dear guest, please drink first while I go outside for a walk. If you have anything else to do, please say hello to me."

Xiao Chen nodded. "Shopkeeper, please be busy."

Looking at it like this, Universal Salvation Temple must have thought that someone might sneak in, and even blocked the sea surface.

If nothing else, there must be corresponding arrangements in the outside world.

Although I still don't know why the other party suddenly blocked this place.

But since Pure Bottle Chan Shi has been dispatched, the internal reasons are definitely not trivial.

The key is that this Sea Seal has been going on for several months now, and it will continue.

I just happened to stop myself from going in to look for Sha Qi. What should I do?

Small Teleportation Talisman cannot enter stably, and Night's Edge will have a gap period.

If there is any danger inside during the cooling period, there is no guarantee.

Mainly Xiao Chen has no way of determining what is going on inside now.

Judging from the available information, Pure Bottle Chan Shi participated in this incident, so this is a major event involving Level 4, and there may be reciprocal dangers in it.

Of course, it may also be the benefit of reciprocity, no one can say for sure.

"Dong dong dong!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the box.

Xiao Chen asked aloud, "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, the waiter pushed open the door and walked over with a bottle of Spirit Wine in his hand. "Senior, the new guest in the next box added a bottle of Spirit Wine to each table."

Huh?

Such a coincidence, someone else sent wine?

Xiao Chen was a little surprised and a little curious about the other party's identity. "Do you recognize who this person is?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "Senior, the distinguished guest seemed unfamiliar to me. It was also the first time for me to see him."

"That's it, okay, you go ahead."

Xiao Chen waved the guy away, but he started to think about it in his heart.

Is this the first time we've met?

That's a stranger from somewhere else.

Who could it be?

He thought for a while and simply went downstairs to pay with the wine bottle.

After paying off the two thousand Spirit Stone, I went to the big Locust Tree opposite the restaurant.

He sat on the ground leaning against a thick tree trunk, drinking and watching.

There are not many monks in this small place, especially since today is neither a gathering nor a festival, so the flow of people is even less.

Sure enough, not long after waiting, a young monk with a sword on his waist walked out.

It turned out to be Zhang Shouquan!

As if aware of the gaze, he turned to look at Xiao Chen, and was immediately stunned.

Then he took the initiative and came over. "Daoist Xiao, why are you here?"

As he spoke, Zhang Shouquan looked a little wary in his eyes.

And he stopped ten steps away and didn't get completely close.

"Daoist Zhang, I really didn't expect to meet you here."

Xiao Chen smiled kindly, "There are many people here, let's talk somewhere else?"

After only half a month of not seeing each other, he felt that the aura on the other person's body seemed to be stronger.

I have to say that this growth rate is really outrageous, almost as fast as myself.

Of course, Xiao Chen is not the kind of person who doesn't like other people's kindness. On the contrary, he wants to make good friends with Zhang Shouquan.

And since I met the other party here by chance, the key to entering Zhi Yi Cave this time might fall on the other party.

"Okay, then come over here."

Zhang Shouquan did not refuse Xiao Chen's invitation to talk.

But he took the initiative to lead the way and took the initiative in choosing the location for the conversation into his own hands.

Xiao Chen doesn't care about this, he doesn't need to protect his own safety in this way.

Under the leadership of Zhang Shouquan, the two came to a Desolate Island three hundred miles away.

After checking, the island was indeed empty.

The other party asked curiously, "What does Daoist Xiao want to talk about?"

Xiao Chen asked in return, "I hope that our next conversation will be kept strictly confidential. Is that okay?"

Zhang Shouquan nodded. "This is natural. No matter what I said today, I promise not to leak it!"

He answered very simply, and it seemed that he had been mentally prepared in advance.

"Okay, I believe fellow Daoist!"

Xiao Chen then said straight to the point, "Just now in that restaurant, I got some news from the shopkeeper."

"The specific content is all about the situation of Sea Seal not far away."

"This is also the purpose of my coming here this time."

"I wonder why you, Daoist Zhang, are here?"

Zhang Shouquan was silent, he came here for this too.

No wonder when I just asked the shopkeeper for information, he had a strange expression on his face and spoke very fluently, as if he had rehearsed in advance.

He was still a little confused and unsure if he had fallen into someone else's scheme.

This... what should I do?

Although they have improved their cultivation recently, Xiao Chen and Zhang Shouquan feel a lot of pressure.

He had seen with his own eyes how relaxed and carefree the opponent was when attacking.

Recently I heard about the outstanding performance of New Ruin, which outperforms Royal Flood Dragon.

If there is a choice, Zhang Shouquan does not want to conflict with Xiao Chen.

At least not now.

So after thinking about it for a short while.

He still tentatively replied, "Daoist Xiao speaks out, so I won't hide it."

"The reason why I came here this time is because I want to go to the sea area blocked by Universal Salvation Temple."

It's really you!

Xiao Chen heard this and immediately confirmed his guess.

No, what did you want to do inside?

Could it be that you are here to snatch Sha Qi from me?

Or maybe you are the traitor who received Sea Race Mission?

I really didn't see it, you Zhang Shouquan with thick eyebrows and big eyes can still be a traitor!

Well, of course this is just his own guess, not necessarily the truth.

So Xiao Chen asked, "That's a coincidence. I came here this time to find something. I wonder what Daoist Zhang is for?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shouquan's face tightened slightly when he heard this.

When he heard that Xiao Chen was going to look for something inside, he felt that his whole body was not well.

Obviously this is the exclusive information he obtained from the Guiyun Secret Realm with great difficulty.

Why is the other party also here? Hidden Dao Heritage and Intelligence Network are so terrifying.

What to do now?

Ninety-nine percent of the time, you won't be able to defeat him, and you are really unwilling to give up. It's really a dilemma.

Zhang Shouquan feels bitter in his heart, you are so dignified Hidden Dao Heritage Successor, why do you come to a casual cultivator like me to grab treasures?

Besides, you Body Cultivator are not short of treasures.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, with an identity like Daoist Xiao, they are not necessarily here to get the same item.

Well, of course this is just his own guess, not necessarily the truth.

So Zhang Shouquan asked, "That's a bit of a coincidence. I came here this time to find something. I wonder what Daoist Xiao is looking for?"

Ah this...

Xiao Chen also fell silent.

This is really bad, he is also looking for something.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually solidified.

If there really is a conflict of purpose, then everyone can only rely on their own abilities.

After a moment of silence.

Zhang Shouquan weighed the pros and cons and took the initiative to break the deadlock. "Daoist Xiao, with your identity, there should be no shortage of Breakthrough Spirit Item, right?"

"In other words, we might as well go inside first and confirm whether the information is true or false."

"If there really is a spiritual being, can we talk about it in detail then?"

Again, if possible, he didn't want to conflict with Xiao Chen from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, Zhang Shouquan also began to question the authenticity of the information he had obtained.

If this is false news deliberately released by someone, there is absolutely no need to kill or kill someone for it.

So he simply suggested that we should see things first and then talk about other things.

However, as soon as he made this suggestion, it was Xiao Chen's turn to be surprised.

What did you say?

Breakthrough Spirit Item?

What kind of Breakthrough Spirit Item is it specifically?

But having said that, first of all, Zhang Shouquan's proposal is quite good. Now we should really consider seeing the thing first and verifying that the information is true.

Secondly, since it is Breakthrough Spirit Item, it most likely does not refer to Sha Qi.

In other words, the two main purposes do not conflict.

Of course, since Xiao Chen heard the information about Breakthrough Spirit Item, he naturally became somewhat interested.

He nodded. "Daoist Zhang makes sense. I also think that we should confirm the existence of the thing first before talking about anything else."

"In that case, why don't you and I work together to find a way to sneak into it?"

Since the main goals don't conflict, let's go in and talk about it.

The worst thing is that everyone gets what they want, and Xiao Chen won't suffer any loss.

If you can get an extra piece of Breakthrough Spirit Item, it will be even more valuable.

"That's how it should be!"

Hearing that Xiao Chen agreed with his proposal, Zhang Shouquan also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two reached a temporary agreement, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"I just heard Zhao Bo Ning Hua Powder from the shopkeeper. It's probably difficult to get in with Sea Route."

Xiao Chen took the initiative to ask, "I wonder if Daoist Zhang has any good ideas?"

In fact, this was his main purpose in finding Zhang Shouquan in the first place.

Who knew the conversation would end up somewhere else.

"Zhao Bo Ning Hua Powder is indeed difficult to solve, but I have some knowledge of the battle method."

Zhang Shouquan took the initiative and said, "As long as I can get close to the formation and not be discovered by those Patrolling Arhat, I should be able to try to crack the matching detection formation."

"It's just Break Formation it's not easy."

"I need a gap of at least half an hour, and there may be some slight Spiritual Power fluctuations."

"The best way is actually to have someone help distract the patrol."

Abnormal Spiritual Power fluctuations are easily detected by Divine Sense.

In other words, it is not necessarily safe to dive underwater, but also to find a way to avoid the patrolling Spiritual Sense Probe.

Therefore, when saying the last sentence, Zhang Shouquan deliberately stared at Xiao Chen.

According to this plan, the matter of diverting patrols obviously needs to be left to him.

"That's great, I didn't expect Daoist Zhang to have such an ability."

Xiao Chen Looking back on the opponent Blood Drop Array, I feel that he does have good attainments in the formation.

In other words, this infiltration plan is feasible.

"But, although it's not difficult to distract the patrol, and I'm sure I can escape easily, it's easy to alert the enemy."

Xiao Chen changed the subject. "Unless those responsible Patrolling Arhat are idiots."

"Otherwise they are likely to report Universal Salvation Temple."

"Even if we sneak into it, we might have to face the arrest of Zen Master."

The main problem is that it is too close to Universal Salvation Temple.

It's only three thousand miles, let alone Zen Master. Even for Golden Body Arhat, it's not that far away.

Suddenly a strange monk launched an attack. Universal Salvation Temple can easily arouse alert, but also has enough capabilities and manpower to immediately reinforce and deploy Big Sweep.

"This is indeed a problem."

Zhang Shouquan didn't seem surprised to hear the loopholes in the plan. "But you have to spend Patrolling Arhat to have a chance Break Formation."

I don't know if he arranged it this way on purpose, or if he thought of the problem but didn't have a corresponding solution.

After saying that, he asked, "Could it be that Daoist Xiao has a better way to infiltrate?"

Xiao Chen waved his hand. "That's not true."

"But, I have an idea. Maybe we don't need to distract Patrolling Arhat."

"Just go along the bottom of the sea, cover up your own aura and Spiritual Power fluctuations, and finally sneak in quietly."

"Unknown to God and unknown to ghosts, it will not cause Universal Salvation Temple to be alert."

Zhang Shouquan heard this and shook his head. "Impossible!"

"I have observed their patrol routes. They are very strict and there is no gap period of more than two quarters of an hour."

"And Daoist Xiao doesn't know something. Although it is easy to cover up one's own aura, Break Formation's process is not easy to interrupt."

"Therefore, during the cracking process, Spiritual Power fluctuations will continue to occur, and there is no way to effectively cover it up."

However, Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "That's not necessarily the case."

"Although I'm not good at formations, I do have some experience in this area."
