Qin Tiexin led Ming'an through the street of Ten Thousand Stars City, turned into West Ward, walked around seven times, and came to the door of the small courtyard.
The yard is not big, with three low rooms, a locust tree, and a stone table. Ming'an stood at the door, raised his little head and looked around, then looked at Qin Tiexin, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
"Go in." Qin Tiexin opened the door.
Ming'an walked in with short legs, walked around in a circle, and looked at all three rooms. The main room was the largest, and the east wing was smaller, with a wooden bed and a table. The west wing was even smaller, and could only accommodate a bed and a narrow cabinet.
"Brother, I live in this room." Ming'an pointed to the west wing and said.
Qin Tiexin took a look and said, "That one is small, the one on the east side is bigger."
Ming'an shook his head. "The big one is for senior brother to live in. Senior brother still needs to practice, so a bigger place would be better."
Qin Tiexin didn't argue anymore. He helped Ming'an take out the things from Storage Bag and put them at the door of the west wing. Ming'an hasn't practiced yet and can't use Storage Bag.
After taking out all the things, Ming'an didn't ask him to help and moved them into the house one by one.
The quilt was folded and placed on the bed, the pillows were straightened, a few clothes were stuffed into the narrow cabinet, and then an incense burner and a spiritual tablet were taken out from the bottom of Storage Bag.
The spiritual tablet is small, made of wood, and has the words "Master Huiming" engraved on it.
Ming'an placed the spiritual tablets on the cabinet and placed the incense burner in front of the spiritual tablets. He took out three incense sticks, lit them, and respectfully inserted them into the stove. Green smoke curled up and scattered in the small room.
He knelt in front of the spiritual tablet, clasped his hands, and recited a scripture in a low voice. After reciting, he kowtowed three times before standing up.
Qin Tiexin stood outside the door, watching him busy without making a sound.
This child was less than six years old. His master died, his uncle was gone, and his temple was destroyed. He followed him all alone without ever complaining.
After Ming'an finished reciting the sutra, he turned around and saw Qin Tiexin standing at the door and asked softly, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Qin Tiexin shook his head. "Nothing, senior brother has a few things for you."
He took out six pieces of Buddhist scriptures Jade Slip from the storage ring. These were found among the Storage Bag of Yuanshun and others. Some of them were Buddhist scriptures from the Pure Land Chan Sect period, and some were from the Great Brahma Dynasty, which were different from those that Ming'an had recited before.
After giving out Secret Realm Trial, these are of no use to him, so he simply gave them all to Ming'an, he likes these things the most.
Ming'an took Jade Slip and looked at the Sanskrit pattern on it, his eyes lit up.
"Brother, what are these?"
"Buddhist scriptures." Qin Tiexin said, "It's different from the ones you read before. Please keep it first."
Ming'an nodded happily, but then he was in trouble again.
He has not practiced yet, does not have Divine Sense, and cannot read Jade Slip, so he can only put it away first and wait for his senior brother to translate it.
Then, Qin Tiexin took out something from his arms.
Bracelet.
Ten gray beads were strung together with a strong rope. There were no lines on the surface of the beads, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation. They looked no different from the beads sold on the street.
This is a bracelet that has been purified by the big clock. According to Broken Arm, the resentment, obsession, and demonic intent attached to it have been completely purified. Now it is not even Law Artifact, it is just a string of mortal objects.
Senior Brother Chen Xi asked himself to give this to Ming'an before leaving. Qin Tiexin Although I don't know why, what the senior brother said generally makes sense.
"Ming'an."
Ming'an turned his head.
Qin Tiexin handed over the string. "Here is this thing."
Ming'an was startled for a moment and took the bracelet with both hands.
The moment he took the beads into his hands, his movements stopped.
He lowered his head and stared at the ten gray beads without blinking. After a while, his shoulders began to tremble slightly, and tears welled up from his eyes and fell on the beads one by one.
Qin Tiexin was startled and squatted down. "What's wrong?"
Ming'an shook his head, his voice choked with sobs. "I don't know... I just feel a little sad. It seems like someone is crying in this bracelet."
Someone is crying?
Qin Tiexin frowned, took the string from Ming'an's hand, and inserted it with Divine Sense.
Nothing.
The ten beads are clean, without a trace of spiritual power, and can't even sense the slightest remaining fluctuation. This is an ordinary bracelet of mortal objects. If you throw it on the ground, no one will take a second look.
Ming'an How did you feel that someone was crying?
He handed the string back and looked at Ming'an's expression.
Ming'an took the bracelet and shed tears again. He held the beads in his hands and looked down, his lips trembling slightly, as if he heard something that only he could hear.
Qin Tiexin remembered what Senior Brother Chen Xi said, "Give this to your junior brother, he may be useful."
"Ming'an." Qin Tiexin spoke in a very soft voice, "You keep this bracelet. But be careful. If anything goes wrong, tell your senior brother at any time."
Ming'an raised his head, looked at him with tearful eyes, and nodded vigorously.
"Brother, I can do it."
After saying that, he returned to the west wing holding the bracelet.
Qin Tiexin did not follow up.
After a while, the voice of Ming'an chanting sutras softly came from the room. The voice was childish, word for word, and he read very slowly, but very seriously.
What Qin Tiexin didn't see was that in the west wing, Ming'an was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with the bracelet in his hand. Among the ten gray beads, the color of one bead seemed to light up slightly at that moment.
Extremely slight and fleeting.
Qin Tiexin sat down in the yard and began to sort out the next thing.
From the day "Liu Qing self-destructed", he always had a sense of urgency that lingered in his heart.
Senior Brother Chen Xi's clever methods temporarily blocked the limelight for him, but this does not mean safety. There may not be greater forces behind those who were killed. Even if they temporarily divert their attention from "Liu Qing", if there is any trouble in the future, there is no guarantee that it will not start again.
He must become stronger.
There are still twelve days until Skills Trial. During these twelve days, he has to do several things.
First, I picked up the art of refining weapons again. It has been more than three months since I came to Heavenly South Domain. I have never stopped refining weapons for such a long time, and the feel is a bit rusty.
Although Skills Trial cannot reveal too much strength and can only forge Upper-Grade Law Artifact at most, he still needs to get familiar with it again to stabilize his level without making any mistakes.
Second, adjust the martial arts. Senior Brother Chen Xi said, Karma-Burning Wisdom King Flame, Golden Light Incantation, Arhat Dharma Aspect Body, these three martial arts can no longer be used in the future, at least not in Heavenly South Domain.
He has to find alternative means or develop new fighting methods. Arhat Fist and Vajra Flame can continue to be used. These two are not exclusive cheats and the source cannot be found. The rest, except for the "Sumeru Immovable Instruction" that has not yet been practiced, depends on whether Ling Shuyao can find the martial arts he needs.
Third, improve his cultivation level. His current state is Late Qi and Blood Realm, which is still far away from the Meridian Opening Realm. It is unrealistic to break through the mark in the short term, but the accumulation of Qi and Blood and spiritual power cannot be stopped, and the Essence Blood ratio must be pushed to at least 90%.
Qin Tiexin went through these things in his mind one by one, then opened his eyes, took out a blank Jade Slip from the storage ring, and began to record the next cultivation plan.
